That’s so true, Bhuti, he was such a Nation Builder! The speeches today at his memorial service pointed to iqhaza lakhe in pride in language, history and culture (umkhosi womhlanga, owelembe, iSandlwane war, etc.); health drives/initiatives (an activist against HIV Aids thru umhlanga ceremony; encouraged young lads to get circumcised to reduce infections – stats show success); even with Covid-19, he was ‘preaching’ the message of safety! He was against any form of violence, incl. gender based violence, always on the side of the underdog; hated laziness, encouraged isizwe ukulima ukufuya; preached imfundo and excellence; against foreign nationals who traffic drugs, sell to youth, human trafficking; spoke openly about land ownership; was against students vandalising property (universities) to be heard! A candidate for traditional leaders’ rights and role! He was for Unity even amongst political parties!
My heart is so sore and sad at his and Bong’s departures! Isizwe silahlekelwe!
