TOMORROW, the late NelsonMandela’s ex-traordinary life will be celebratedthroughout the country and around theglobe.

The Qunu-born anti-apart-heid revolutionary, politicianandphilanthropist,who servedas President of South Africafrom 1994 to 1999, would havecelebrated his 96th birthday to-morrow.

July 18, has been celebratedas Madiba Day for some yearsnow, when people from aroundthe world are asked to take 67minutes of their time to dosomething for the greater goodof society.The Nelson Mandela Muse-

um in Qunu, marked the birthof Nelson Mandela by lightinga torch symbolising his statureat his ‘Humble Beginnings’ inQunu last week.According to Qunu Museum

Chaiperson, Nozuko Yokwana,the flame symbolises a pledgeby the Nelson Mandela Muse-um Council, management andstaff to honour and continue topreserve the legacy of the inter-nationally renowned states-man, the son of the soil, and fa-ther of democracy, Nelson Mandela.Yokwana said the lighting ceremony also marked

the launch of the Nelson Mandela month (July) andadded that the flame would be kept burning for theentire month.“We call on every South African citizen and those

abroad to spend 67 minutes of their time to do some-thing good and also to encourage the next generationto take leadership forward and to be patriotic,” saidYokwana.The programmes here will revolve around the

three special women in Nelson Mandela’s life, name-ly the first wife of Nelson Mandela, Mama EvelynMase Mandela, Mama Nomzamo Winnie Mandelaand Mama Graca Machel.Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Nelson Man-

dela Museum, Noel Solani, said their programme in-cluded an outreach which took place on July 11 at

the Qutubeni and Madladle-ni villages in Ngcobo whereMama Mase was born.In Mbizana, Madikizela

Mandela’s birthplace, theMngomazi pre-school wasrefurbishedandanoutreachto Hlabe homestead inMbongweni locality in Mbi-zana was done on July 15.Owing to limited resourc-

es, the museum said theycould not afford to go over toMozambique where MamaMachel was born, but saidtheir hearts were with herfamily during this month.Preservation of historical

buildings will also be done,using traditional earth ma-terials at Mqhekezweni,where Mandela spent mostof his younger years. TheRegent Jongintaba’s Memo-rial will be unveiled atMqhekezweni Great Placethis month.Nelson Mandela’s grand-

son, Ndaba Mandela, saidthe family would also engage in numerous activitiesto honour Tata’s day. “Our family is very big; so thatmeans many initiatives, including a visit to a Chil-dren’sHome in Johannesburg, led bymy cousin Zole-ka. On my side, I will be leading an initiative to col-lect books in indigenous languages to be handed overhere at the Qunumuseum to benefit the local youth,”said Ndaba.Madiba passed away on December 5, last year and

his remains were brought to his home town in theformer Transkei.

AFTER a long wait, with family feuds delay-ing the process, the AmaHlubi clan waspleased when its rightful chief, NqabaSikhokheleNota (27), was finally inauguratedat Rhode Village in Mount Ayliff last week.

This followed a dispute which started in2012, when the royal family of the AmaHlubiclan were against being led by the daughter,Getrude Thandeka Nota Steven.She had taken over temporarily, after the

death of Nkosi Jongintaba, but since she gotmarried, she has allegedly been refusing tohand the power over to the rightful chief.After several family meetings and the in-

volvement of the Eastern Cape Departmentof Traditional Affairs, Getrude handed overthe throne to the rightful chief, NqabaSikhokhele Nota.The Chief’s spokesperson, Malusi Gqoli,

said through the tough times theNota familyfaced during the feud, the family had learntto stick together and be strong as the wholeAmaHlubi clan depended on their guidance.

“We thank the Lordabove who has beenwith us to this day.We are happy thatthe rightful personhas been placed inhis seat of leader-ship.”Traditional danc-

ers, praise poets,municipal repre-sentatives andchiefs from all clansgathered at the vil-lage in support ofthe decision madeby the family of plac-ing the youngSikhokhele in thehot seat of leadingthe clan.The chief of Ama-

bhala, Mwelo Non-konyana, congratu-lated the family andsaid the AmaHlubiclan was like a facewithout a nose, butthat their dignityhad now been re-stored.Chief Sikhokhele

Nota thanked every-onewho stood by hisside through thickand thin and prom-ised that he woulddo his best to makethe AmaHlubi clanbetter individualsthrough his leader-ship.

MTHATHA traditional surgeon, QaqambileSiyongwana, has been running an initiationschool here, since 2009 and, according to him,has never had any deaths as a result of initia-tion-related procedures.

Siyongwana describes initiate deaths ow-ing to circumcision as “completely unneces-sary” and feels that these deaths could be pre-vented.

At the time of going to print, at least 32 initi-ates had died in the Eastern Cape.

Apart from the fatalities during this year’swinter initiation season, at least 131 initiateshad been hospitalised, while scores of othersare being kept at rescue centres throughout

the province.According to Siyongwana, everything de-

pended on the traditional surgeon’s respectand honour for his work. He said it was alsoextremely important for parents to be in-volved throughout the initiation process.

“Parents must take the time to check outthe place where their children would be cir-cumcised. They should never just give moneyto a surgeon and then take a back seat,” hesaid.

A number of illegal initiation schools hadbeen closed down, while a number of illegaltraditional surgeons had been arrested in thePondoland region.

Siyongwana, who had 37 initiates this year,said there should be open communication be-tween the surgeon and his traditional nurses(amakhankatha). According to him, stran-

gers should not be allowed to visit the initi-ates. “The only people who should be allowedto visit, are relatives who need not spend along time at ‘ebhomeni’ (initiation school).”

Proper behaviour at initiation schools wasalso highlighted by Siyongwana. “Thereshould be no smoking or drinking of alcohol.The traditional surgeons must closely ob-serve their boys and create a platform whereinitiates are able to express themselves, sothat it would be easy to sense if there was aproblem which affected any of the initiates.”He said there should always be an open com-munication channel between surgeonand ini-tiates and that surgeons had to teach initiatesabout the passage to manhood.

He stressed that surgeons should have apassion to perform the custom and not do itfor the money. According to him, traditional

leaders should allow legal surgeons to openinitiation schools in their areas.

During the provincial initiation launch inMthatha Nkosi Ngangomhlaba Matanzimastressed his discontent over the traditionalsurgeons who conducted circumcisions whiledrunk. Spokesperson for the Department ofTraditional Affairs, Mamkeli Ngam, said res-cue centres played a cardinal role in the re-duction of a number of deaths.

He said a summit on circumcision in theEastern Cape would be held in September,with the aim of reducing the high death rate.

. Siyongwana entered ubungcibi after twoboys on his rugby team at Excesior SeniorSecondary School died during circumcision.He then decided to intervene, following in thefootsteps of his grandfather, Duma ‘Sandav-eyisi’ Oliver Makhalima.

THEVicePresident of theSouthAfricanFoot-ball Association (Safa), Elvis Shishane, hasannounced – during a recent visit to Libode– that Safawould be giving theMthatha Stadi-um a financial injection to make it a fullyfunctional facility.

The Mthatha Stadium was built in 2010, asone of the base centres for some squads thatwere camping in the Eastern Cape to partici-pate in the 2010World Cup, but unfortunatelyno club had used the stadium. Even after theworld cup, the stadiumhad not been used, un-til Blackburn Rovers entered into negotia-tions with the KSDmunicipality to host someof its home games here.The Rovers played a few of their games in

the stadium, before the club was bought bya businessman from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN)last season. Since the club was now hostingits homegames inKZN, theMthathaStadiumhas once again become a white elephant.

“There is noway that such a beautiful facil-ity could be a white elephant while there isan abundance of talent in the region, as wellas thousands of soccer-hungry supporters.“I put my neck on the block that Safa will

contribute to ensure that the stadium is use-ful,” said Shishane.He stressed that hewould address the issue

with Safa’s executive committee and wouldemphasise that the stadium should be usedto benefit the people of the OR Tambo regionas per the initiatives launched prior to the2010 soccer world cup.Safa’s President in the OR Tambo region,

Xolile Nkompela, revealed that he had a vi-sion for the stadium. He said it was his mis-sion to host big clubs in the near future andyoung squads from the South Africa FootballAssociation.
