THE King of the AbaTh-embu, Buyelekhaya Dal-indyebo, who is facing ajail term, has announcedthat his son, Azenathi

ZanelizweDalindyebo (23),will takeover the throne if he goes to jail.

Dalindyebo made this announce-ment at Bumbane Great Place lastSunday (October 4).

Dalindyebo’s announcement fol-lowed the judgment by the SupremeCourt of Appeal in Bloemfontein onThursday, October 1, which handedDalindyebo a 12-year sentence.

Dalindyebo was convicted in theMthatha High Court in 2010 of

crimes including arson, assaultwith the intent to cause grievousbodilyharm, culpablehomicideanddefeating the ends of justice.

He was sentenced to an effective15 years in prison and he appealed.

He said that now the royal familywas going to appeal to the Constitu-tional Court regarding the judg-ment.

“So everythingwill depend on theoutcome in the ConstitutionalCourt, but if I go to jail my son willtake the throne as my successor.

“I am prepared for anything, butif God is around me there will benothing that will happen, even inthat prison, and I will never give uppraying.

“Even if I go to jail, that is not theend of the road. There is life evenafter prison,” Dalindyebo said.

On the same day, Bumbane host-ed a number of AbaThembu tradi-tional leaders, who discussed howto save the king.

Among the issues discussed inthe meeting was getting clarity onthe royal family and who was amember of the royal house and whowas not. The Dlomos, who were atthe meeting, agreed to support theking financially in his legal battle.A prayer session was also conduct-ed, appealing toGod to save thekingfrom this dark cloud cast over him.

NATIONAL Assembly speakerBaleka Mbethe visited NqaduGreat Place in Willowvale lastweek to hear the grievances oftraditional leaders after a re-quest by Amaxhosa King Zwel-onke Sigcau.

Mbethe was accompanied bythe speaker of the Eastern Capelegislature, Noxolo Kiviet, andparliamentary social develop-ment commitee chairperson Zol-eka Capa.

The meeting with King Sigcauwas preceded by a gala dinnerwhere the speaker and her East-ern Cape legislature counterpartengaged with an organisationrepresenting women from theroyal households, called Imbum-ba Yamakhosikazi Akomkhulu.

The purpose of the dinner wasto discuss the role women canplay in the advancement of ruralcommunities.

Among the grievances thatwere voiced by the traditionalleaders was that most of the timethey were left out by ward coun-

cillors even though the land be-longed to them.

They asked the government toensure that it also engaged themwhen taking decisions, for in-stance on the issue of childrenbeing allowed to have abortionsat the age of 12. That was sup-posed to be discussed with thetraditional leaders because it in-volved children who lived ontheir land, they said.

Sigcau also lashed out at thegovernment over the way he wastreated. He said they had askedseveral times that the road to thesea be upgraded and tarred be-cause it was used by tourists.

“We have asked this severaltimes, but no one is fulfilling thepromise. To ensure that there isa good relationship between usand the government these prob-lems must be ironed out. We alsohave a bridge in this area whichis killing people because it is notin a good condition.”

He said even though he was theking of the Xhosa nation andeven President Jacob Zuma hadattended his coronation ceremo-ny, he was not treated like the

king of Kwazulu-Natal.He said he did not get enough

money from the government.For example a bus accident

had claimed the lives of 35 peoplein Willowvale, but they did nothave even a cent to assist familymembers.

“Even when I am invited bykings in other provinces it issometimes hard for me to go be-cause the Department of LocalGovernment and Traditional Af-fairs in the Eastern Cape alwayssays there is no money to booka flight and accommodation forme.”

He said if the traditional lead-ers were allowed to work withthe government there wouldhave been a lot of changes bynow, but unfortunately the tradi-tional leaders were just chasedout anytime the government feltlike it.

Sigcau said if the governmentdid not want to work with them,it must leave them and theywould see what they could do.

Mbethe said the meeting wasvery important because therewould now be better communica-

tion between the governmentand the traditional leaders.

“Even though I cannot lie andsay we will manage to solve yourissues immediately, we willmake sure that you get betterfeedback from the government.

“We have to understand thatsometimes we send people tostand for us in the ANC, but not

all of them do what we expectthem to do and others are cor-rupt. We will not sit back andwatch those corrupt people do asthey want,” Mbethe said.

She told the traditional leadersit was important that when theyhad problems they must try tosolve them before going to thenational level.

THE chief of the AmaBhala in Flagstaff,Mwelo Nonkonyana, has admitted that hismurdered son abused alcohol and that at thetime of his death he was trying to save himfrom the problem.

“He agreed to stop because he respectedme,” he said.Nonkonyana was speaking during the fu-

neral inMarashu location, Flagstaff, last Sat-urday of his son Bulumko, a prominent law-yer who was slain recently in Mthatha.Bulumko’s body was foundwith head inju-

ries near the railway station in Mthatha onSeptember 21.Nonkonyana saidmany of his familymem-

bers had died because of alcohol abuse.“I curse alcohol in my family. My elder

brother Masizakhe, who was a magistrate,died in a car accident because he was drunkand my younger brother died because hislungs were damaged by alcohol.“Now it is my son, but in his death I want

to tell the sons of the royal family to abstainfrom alcohol.“I don’t know why

our family memberskeep on using alcoholbecause I can see it doesnot like us,”Nonkonya-na said.

He called on all the sons of Iinkosi to stopabusing alcohol because it jeopardised theirlives.He also said crimewas a problem inMthat-

ha.“Mthatha has changed now as crime is tak-

ing centre stage and even South Africa as awhole is dominated by criminals.“In our country it is no longer safe, so we

need to stand up and fight what is seizing ourfreedom and say no to crime,” he said.He thanked the police for their quick re-

sponse after the death of his son as a 24-year-old man was arrested three days after thedeath of Bulumko. He is expected to appearbefore theMthathaMagistrate’sCourt onOc-tober 14.“You cannot just spill the very rare blood

of a royal family and think you will be freeafter that,” Nonkonyana said.He called on the AmaBhala nation to calm

down and give justice a chance to play itsrole.The funeral was attended by traditional

leaders, lawyers, judges and the communityat large.

“That is why he never gave up in his endeav-our to liberate this country even thoughhewasleading the ANC during a difficult period. Hesaw through all trials and tribulation until thepath going home opened in 1994. He may be nomore, but his vision to build this country muststay on,” Masualle said.He said Tambo inspired the present leader-

ship with his teachings of how to serve people.He expressedhis gratitude toTambo’s family

for allowing the ANC to use their son, withwhom they ended up never spending timewithas his time was spent in the struggle.HedescribedTamboasanextraordinaryper-

TENhouseswere handed over tomilitary vet-erans in Queenstown last week.

These veterans went to African countriesto be trained as soldiers for the liberationmovement during apartheid in South Africa.Department of Human Settlements spokes-

man Lwandile Sicwetsha said when all theliberation movements were unbanned, theyhad returned homewith hope and aspirationsfor a better future, but many had found them-selves without jobs and no homes.“The life of 10 former soldiers of the libera-

tion movement changed for the better whenthey received new homes built through col-laboration between the Department of Hu-man Settlements and Department of MilitaryVeterans,” Sicwetsha said.The departments had signed a memoran-

dum of understanding, according to whichthe Department of Military Veterans hadagreed to provide top-up funding that wouldcover additional features for all the homesthat would be provided for military veterans,he said.The Chris Hani region is one three regions

where the department is implementing pro-jects for military veterans. The other two areNelson Mandela Bay and the OR Tambo re-gion.Human Settlements MEC Helen Sauls-Au-

gust said they would make sure that they ful-filled their promises.“Military veterans access the housing pro-

vision through the South National MilitaryVeterans Association, which verifies andconfirms eligibility of veterans. A total of5 854 houses will be built for military veter-ans across the country by 2017.“Former soldiers who served in the former

liberationmovements and homeland defenceforce units qualify for housing under thisprogramme,” Sauls-August said.One of the beneficiaries, Noma Ncetezo

(48), a former soldier of Umkhonto Wesizwe,could not hide her excitement when she re-ceived her home.“I don’t think you realise what this means

to us. Now I can sleep in my own bed and becomfortable without worrying about whereI will sleep tomorrow.“I used to move around looking for a place

to sleep, but now my prayers have been an-swered,” Ncetezo said.

COOPERATIVE Governance and Tradi-tional Affairs MEC Fikile Xasa has vowedthat the department’s focus during theforthcoming circumcision season will beon the OR Tambo region.

Xasa announced this in an interview re-cently, with the summer season for circum-cision around the corner.His utterances follow the high number of

deaths recorded by the OR Tambo regionduring the past winter season.It was also reported that 23 initiates were

rescued recently in Eastern Pondoland.The region is leading in the province

with 20 deaths out of 28 throughout theprovince last winter season.In those 20 deaths, eight initiates had

their manhood amputated.Xasa said they wanted to strengthen

monitoring, especially in the OR Tambo re-gion, and ensure that each districtstrengthened its forums, with traditionalleaders taking centre stage before initia-tion schools started in their areas of juris-

diction.He said the parents must choose respon-

sible traditional surgeons and amakhank-atha. “The government is ready to putmon-ey into rescue centres across the province,including circumcision doctors.“Weneed to be toughnowand ensure that

we strengthen the laws to deal with illegalsurgeons and traditional nurses,” Xasasaid.They wanted to put strategies in place to

ensure that iingcibi and amakhankatha(traditional surgeons and traditional nurs-es) were closely watched by experiencedpeople and experts in this custom.“Culture does not kill. The problem is the

people who have seen this custom as a busi-ness. Care no longer exists during the proc-ess of this custom.”He said a bill was being prepared which

would see surgeons who killed boys in themountains being sentenced.He said the bill was being discussed in

parliament and in the provincial legis-tures.At the end of the winter season in July,

traditional leaders in theORTambo region,

Imbumba Yamakhosikazi Akomkhulu, allgovernment departments, forums and oth-er stakeholders involved hosted a two-daysummit to act swiftly before the next seasonto avoid more tragedy.This was followed by a recent summit

hosted byCogta inMthatha,whichwas alsoattended by traditional leaders, boys whoare going to the circumcision schools thisseason and the community at large.Last winter season, 189 initiates were ad-

mitted to hospitals across the ORTambo re-gion and 1 590 were rescued.TheDepartment of Health’s report on last

season said there had been 643 legal schoolsand 219 illegal schools had been discoveredand closed down.The report also said that 7 397 initiates

had gone to various legal initiation schoolsand 1 437 had attended illegal ones.There were 5 178 boys who were able to

be screened before going to initiationschools. The police reported that 37 casesrelated to circumcision had been opened inthe Eastern Cape and 22 arrests had beenmade throughout the province during thewinter season.

ELLIOTDALE is known as a home to thepoorest of the poor, but three young peoplefromNtlonyane location came up with a planto change the lives of the youth in this areaand launched the Bomvana Youth Founda-tion last week.

The launchwasheld at theGanizulu SeniorSecondary School in Elliotdale, where young-sters gathered to get information that couldchange their lives.One of the co-ordinators, Babalwa Maya,

said she had been asked by the three youngpeople for help in registering the foundation.“Its objective is to develop the youth of

Ntlonyane by showing themhow to get bursa-ries and other things that can help them pavetheir way,” Maya said.She added that theywere not concentrating

only on those who passed Grade 12, but alsohelped teenagers by telling them the conse-quences of having children at an earlystage, and how they could protect them-selves against teenage pregnancy.Maya said they also motivated drop-outs

and told them that education was their keyto success and it was never too late to chasetheir goals.“It is important that young people choose

good friends and have role models in life.They must also focus on achieving theirdreams because there is no life withoutdreams.”Mfokayise Msin–dwana said they would

also host awareness days where they wouldinform young people about applying to uni-versities.“We will also communicate with the NY-

DA office so that we can get information forthose who are drop-outs,” Msindwana said.

I WAS listening to the programme on theSABC’s SAFM called Overnight. A professor,Herbert Zwane, was talking about land andhow the apartheid or Afrikaner regime dealtwith the issue of poorAfrikaners after theAn-glo-Boer war.

He said the government had mobilised allstakeholders in the community, including thechurch. The government called for public do-nations and gave out loans for the farmers,which at some point were not recouped or re-paid. The government of the time made surethat farmerswerewell-resourcedandcomfort-able.He also shared the secret behind the success

of themost populousnations in theworld,Chi-na and India. These nations after independ-ence sent thousands and thousands of stu-

dents abroad to imbibe and assimilate knowl-edge and return home to enrich the nationskills-wise. That was how they developed.In our case, after attaining political freedom

wewere contentwith the status quo. Our lead-ers never embarked on a journey to give skillsto the previously disadvantaged; we thoughtthat peace and fawning over the compromisewas enough.Has the current administration ever shown

enthusiasm and determination to developfarmers? Hectares and hectares in the ruralformer Transkei are lying fallowwith the peo-ple waiting for handouts from the grant sys-tem.Our leaders must wake up and activate the

masses to work the land like Cuba did whenthe Soviet Union callapsed.

Pedestrians also have a right to be on theroadI think the Department of Transport still

allow pedestrians the right to cross or walk.I usually see taxi drivers chasing people

who cross at the robot as if they don’t havea right to be there. What is worse is thatthe green robot is showing that they havethe right of way.Come on gents, let us also give respect to

THEEasternCapeMusicAwards2015(ECMAS) and the Buffalo City Metro-politan Municipality have hosted aworkshop for 60 upcoming artists attheMulti PurposeCentre inEast Lon-don.

The founder and chief executive of-ficer of ECMAS, Koko Godlo, said theworkshophadbeenabigsuccess,eventhough the weather had been verybad.“Almost all the music genres, in-

cluding kwaito, hip hop, gospel, tradi-tionalmusic, jazz,house,Afrosoul,Af-ro pop and DJs, were represented,”Godlo said.Among those who conducted the

workshopwere representatives of theSouthAfricanMusicRightsOrganisa-tion (Samro), Vovee Batala, LuckyShongwe, Mavi M (multi-award win-ner), Zoe Daka and Luyanda Potwanafrom SABC Television.Godlo said all of them had advised

theartists indifferentfields, including

the rights of the artists.“We also encouraged them to know

what is expected from them whenthey are in the studio, and also toknow that when they are performingSamro pays them.”The presenter of Nyan-Nyan on

SABC 1, Luyanda Potwana, said theartists must know that drug dealersfollowed them because of their fame,so they must try by all means to pro-tect themselves from doing thingsthat would destroy their talent.“It is painful to see an artist de-

stroyed by drugs or alcohol, becauseat the end of the day your music andyour name go down,” Potwana said.One of the gospel artists who at-

tended theworkshop, NcebaMahlan-za, said he was happy to take part be-cause there were a lot of things theyhad not known, but now their eyeswere opened because of the informa-tion theyhadgot from thisworkshop.“For instance, regarding the issue

of the songs thatare stolen,wedidnotknow what procedures we could fol-low to combat that,” Mahlanza said.
