hatha Express, was called on her cellphoneand was told about the visit and she was veryarrogant at first, finding it very funny thather “son” is said not to be hers.“I gave birth to him at Mandela Academic

Hospital in Mthatha in 1998, so I do not knowwhat you are telling me,” she said on thephone. When told by the police that the Man-dela hospital was still under construction in1998, she insisted that it was already opera-tional.She was then asked to come to the Mthatha

police station forDNA tests to prove her state-ment and the boy was taken to a place

of safety by the police.According to Guza, the moth-er’s statement later changedand she confessed that shegot the child fromLindiwewho gave him to her at avery young age becauseLindiwe was strug-gling to look after theboy.No-one has yet been

charged. The police arestill searching forLindiwe whom themother said she got thechild from. When sheis located, tests will beconducted.

FOR thirteen years, Nontombi Guzalived a mother’s worst nightmare.

In 2001, her three-week old sonwas allegedly kidnapped by a lady

who posed as a respresentative from the Na-tional Department of Social Developmentwho came to help the mother to register fora child grant.After 13 years, the boy, whose name was

changed by his newmother, last week sharedan emotional reunion with his mother. Ex-press is withholding his name until all thetests are completed to establish who his birthmother is.“As soon as I sawhimapproachingwith the

other boy who is the same age as him I knewhe was the one. He looks so much like his old-er brothers,” said Guza.The boy was allegedly kidnapped in 2001

when he was only three weeks old from Lan-geni Forest where his mother had worked.“A woman by the name of Lindiwe said she

was fromJohannesburg andwas sent to assistmothers to register for child grants. This wasstill a new thing to us back then,” said Guza.

She said she was reluctant at first, but be-cause shewasnot assistingher only, she final-ly gave in and with other mothers and kids,they went to Mthatha’s Home Affairs offices.“Because I was at work on that

day, I sent my two older chil-dren to go with this Lindiweperson, but they returnedhome without my baby,”she said.According to Guza,

the lady disappearedinto the officeswiththe child, sayingthat she had tohave photos takenof the baby aspart of the proce-dure. The casewas reported tothe police andthey searchedeverywherefor the in-fant,butwithout

any success. “I never lost hope that my sonwas alive wherever he was and that one dayI would meet him,” said the happy mother.Guza’s hope to be reunited with her long-

lost son was fulfilled last Tuesdaywhen she met her son after

a phone call fromsomeone who gaveher directions toher son in theNgezele loca-tion, Elliotdale.When the

THE King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) Munici-pality held a reading campaign at the Mqan-duli Village School last week Thursday topromote the culture of reading and celebrat-ing OR Tambo month.

Lungiswa Madyibi, Chairperson of Com-munity Services in KSD, said the aim of theevent was to also promote the Mqanduli li-brary to the local learners and those of thesurrounding areas who did not utilize it.“In support of the reading culture, the Mu-

nicipality has already built 8 libraries and isstill going around in suburbs and rural areaspromoting the culture of reading,” saidMadyibi.She made a call to Mqanduli residents to

make use of the library, which can lead to itsinfrastructure being extended, depending onthe number of users.The nine schools who attended the event

were Sankobe Junior Secondary School(JSS), Lower Ngqwarha JSS, Macosa JSS,Bantwanana JSS, Zwelakhe JSS, MqanduliJSS, Mqanduli Village, Mhlakulo SPS andPhangindlela JSS.There were also activities and competi-

tions to promote reading and lifelong learn-ing areas such as traditional dancing, praisesinging, reading in both Xhosa and Englishfrom grades 4, 5 and 6. There were 2 learnersper grade from each school selected to com-

pete in these activities.KSD Communications Manager Sonwabo

Mampoza said the municipality is assistingthe Department of Education in their crisis,as it was discovered that most of the learnersare struggling in reading.“It is clear that these campaigns are

achieving their purpose because the stand-ard of this year’s reading was very high. All

the learnerswho took part in this year’s read-ing campaign were very determined and en-thusiastic,” said Mampoza.Lunga Ngaleka from the Department of

Sport Recreation Arts and Culture also illus-trated the importance of reading. “Readingimproves one’s vocabulary and it makes peo-ple current and able to understandwhat is go-ing on around the world,” said Ngaleka.

She said libraries are alsoCommunityCen-tres and they teach young kids about lifeskills and utilizing them will bring confi-dence and a deeper understanding of differ-ent things.Last year’s winner in Xhosa reading,

ACCORDING to the history books, the townMount Ayliff was named after a white mancalled John Ayliff who was trading in thetown some centuries ago.

Now Mt Ayliff residents want the name ofthe town to be changed to one which will de-pict the history of the AmaXesibe tribe or beknown as MaXesibe.Where did theXesibe people come from?Af-

ter the death of their founder and leaderXesibe, theXesibe people dispersed and estab-lished themselves under different chieftain-ships. Ntozabantu migrated west and settled

in the areas between Libode, Ngqeleni andMthatha with greater concentration in theMqanduli area. From Ntozabantu anothergroup emerged from his sonMbathane whichgave birth to the Nune and Khuma people(likeMpondo andMpondomise, Bantus in theGreatLakesNguni’smigrated to SouthernAf-rica about 1000 years ago. Abambo settlednear LebomboMountains near Swaziland be-tween 600-700 years ago).Xesibe established in the triangle between

Bulwer, Greytown and Escourt and then mi-grated to settle on the banks of theUmtamvunaabout 500 years ago. Ntozabantu descendantsfurther split into Nondzaba, Qwathi, Mbatane,Mkhuma and Nune about 250 years ago. In the

samelineageofNtozabantu,Nondzabaalsohada group that broke away andbecame independ-ent under the leadership of Noni.The Thembu people gave the Xesibe under

Noni the name AmaQwathi because of a sa-cred and mystical bull, named Qwathi thatwas always in the company of the leading par-ty and the leader of migrating Xesibe people.The Qwathi people further broke into two

major groups of Dalasile in and around Ng-cobo and Stokwe of Ndlela in Cala or LadyFrere areas with some dispersed up to Sterks-pruit.After a great upheavalwhichalmost ledto a civil strife among the children ofMgubudzeli, the grandson of Nondzaba, Sod-ladla broke away and established himself and

his people in Mabhobho area among theBhacas of Mt Frere District.The left handhouse ofXesibe that remained

in the area around which Xesibe had reignedand died on the east side of Mtamvuna, camethrough the line of Mganu, after whom evena mountain around Kokstad is named. Thisgroup grew and became so strong, well-estab-lished and fiercely independent that it finallysettled in the Maxesibeni or Ayliff District.Dr Somadoda Fikeni, a political analys from

the area who represents the Xesibe clan, con-firmedthat they lodgeda formal legalchallengeto theuse of thenameMtAyliff instead ofMaX-esibeni. “We are submitting this to the geo-graphical names committee,” said Fikeni.

WHILE the King Sabatha Dalindyebo (KSD)Local Municipality is celebrating after be-ing announced as the greenest and neatestlocal municipality, in the OR Tambo Dis-trict, residents fromparts of themunicipali-ty are still complaining about filth in theMt-hatha Central Business District (CBD).

The OR Tambo region is made up of fivelocal municipalities namely, Port St Johns,Mhlontlo, KSD, Nyandeni and Ingquza Hill.Late last year the five localmunicipalities

engaged in what they called the “GreenestTown Competition” in the OR Tambo re-gion, a competition which looked at the tidi-ness and environmental friendliness of themunicipality. The competition was won bythe KSD.With the official handing over of the prize

– a home park worth R150 000 – to the KSDMunicipality last week Wednesday, the Di-rector of Rural Economic and DevelopmentPlanning in the OR Tambo, AndiswaDunywa, congratulated the KSDmunicipal-ity and said she could see the difference inthe Mthatha CBD.However, residents from within the mu-

nicipality and surrounding areas didn’t seeeye to eye with themunicipal officials whenit comes to the neatness of KSD.

Khulekani Sithole who hails fromDurban,Kwa-Zulu Natal and now lives in Mthathadue to his delivery work, gets to drive in al-most every street of the town and said Mt-hatha townwas like a town administrated bytwo different municipalities.“Go to Nelson Mandela Drive. That place

is nice andneat, butwhenyou lookat the low-er part of the town starting from the R61downwards, businesses are drowning infilth,” said Sithole.Business owner, Lubabalo Nonca, added

that in the lower parts of the town from thetraffic circle, there is a perpetual stench inthe vicinity from the decomposing refusebags which people dump in the drains.Responsible for Community Services in

the KSD, Councillor Lungiswa Madyibi re-sponded to the people’s frustrations.“We are trying by all means to keep the

KSD clean, but the problemwe are facedwithis that people have the tendency of taking thegarbage out to the streets even if it’s not col-lection day.We plead with every stakeholderto start acting responsibly regarding wastemanagement. Trucks will come and collectrefuse according to the timetable of collec-tion.”Madyibi also warned those who continued

to dump their garbage in prohibited areas,saying they’d be finedand could even face im-prisonment.

A WSU student’s on-going research into de-veloping cost-effective and environmentallybenign medication for the mainstream mar-ket, has earned the student the top spot at theannual Postgraduate Symposium held atNMMU recently.

This is the first time in over a decade – andsince themerger in 2005 – that aWSU studenthas achieved this.Second-year Masters Chemistry student,

Olamedi Daramola, defied expectations bypipping his competitors at the post in the sen-ior category – open only for second-yearMas-ters and PhD chemistry students.“This was such a welcome surprise, be-

cause sometimes you’re so consumedbyyourwork you yourself fail to recognise your ownachievements. This award is significant inthat it signals the gains the University ismaking in research that could and shouldchange ordinary people’s lives,” said Dara-mola.Top chemistry students from NMMU, Fort

Hare, Rhodes,WSU, and for the first time thisyear, Innoventon (a research unit based atNMMU) jostled for top spot at the symposium–organised by theEasternCapebranchof theSouth African Chemistry Institute.Daramola’s work is entitled ‘The synthesis

of Type II CdTe core shell nanoparticles for

bio-labelling application focusing on cancercell’. It looks at targeting the synthesis of coreshell nanoparticles with good stability andemitting properties.“At the end of the daywewant our research

as a department and University to have agreat impact in drug discoveries and othernecessary application processes,” added Dar-amola.

Head of the Chemistry Department Dr Pot-laki Tsekiwas ecstatic about the achievementof his student and the department.“We are constantly amazed by the potential

to create such knowledge from our very hum-ble chemistry laboratories, compared to thecitadel chemistry laboratories of our sister in-stitutions.The University’s staff can no long-er be ignored for their potential to effectively

contribute to frontier knowledge in chemis-try research,” said the proud Tseki.Daramola’s research further seeks to find

answers on how to cure and locate a cancer-ous cell in the human bodywithout operatingon the patient; how to produce a drug for can-cer imaging in the body; and how to produceless toxic materials which could be used di-rectly in the human body.

THEhardship of growingup in the rural are-as, seeing people suffering while his grand-mother was selling brooms to make endsmeet, has made a young man decide todream big.

Siphokuhle Jama (20) was born in Ver-eeniging. His mother sent him home to theLurhasini location in Libode when he was11months old to be looked after byhis grand-mother.

This was when his dream of helping peo-ple and to do big things started to take shape.“While I was growing up, I saw that the peo-ple of Lurhasini were really suffering and

it came to mind that this needed to bechanged. I have a strong desire to be one ofthe people who would bring about change inthe area,” said Siphokuhle in an exclusive in-terview with Express.

Even when he went back to Gauteng at theage of 11 years, the dream of changing thelives of people in the Libode area never died.

Hehas also adopted an old agehome calledMosu, which touched his heart when he hadvisited it.

A GROUP of 93 disadvantaged young adultsfrom various Eastern Cape districts whowere selected to pursue medical studies inCuba through the Department of Health Cu-ba Medical Scholarship Programme, willjet off to Cuba this month.

Of the 93, the first group of 48 left onThursday for Cuba.

The group, between the ages of 18 yearsand 24 years old, was recently given an offi-cial send off by the Eastern Cape MEC forHealth, Doctor Phumza Dyantyi, at theFrere Hospital Hall. She gave a stern warn-ing and encouraged the group to conductthemselves in an appropriate manner whileabroad.

Dyantyi said because of the challengesthat the department has experienced in thepast years, they will not hesitate to bringback those who display untoward behav-iour.

“A group that was sent to Cuba staged aprotest two years ago. I don’t know whatthey really wanted because we providefood, books, shelter, a monthly $200 stipendfor pocket money and all other necessities.

“Those kinds of challenges force me tomake an emphatic declaration that the de-partment is sending you to Cuba to studymedicine over the stipulated period. We arenot sending you there to start your ownfamilies, degrade your country nor to joinalcohol binge camps. We simply are afford-ing you the opportunity to develop your-selves in the medical field and in turn ad-dress the shortage of health professionalsin under-served and rural areas,” said Dy-antyi.

“In the event of pregnancy, both expect-ant students will be disqualified from theprogramme and contracts subsequentlyterminated,” added Dyantyi.

Dyantyi said after their in service train-ing they will be required to work for twoyears in the Eastern Cape.

“They will be in Cuba for six years thenthey will come back to do their one year in-service trainining which they can do in anyprovince in the country, but after that theywill serve two years in the province in the

communities that they were recruitedfrom,” said Dyantyi.

Sinalo Dingumhlaba, (21), from Bizanawho will be trained as a doctor said he isexcited and a little sad. “I don’t have parents

and my ill grandmother could not have af-forded to pay for my studies as a doctor soI’m grateful for this. I’m excited yet sad toleave her, but she has given me her bless-ings as I have to go to pursue my dreams.

When I finish my studies I will definitelyboost the health system in my rural area.People need doctor services there,” saidDingumhlaba. The remaining group of 45will leave later this month.

MOTHERS are encouraged to breastfeedtheir babies to help curb baby mortality,,since breast milk is said to contain the bestnutrients for the needs of a baby.

Speaking to hundreds of people at the DrMalizoMpehleMemorialHospital inTsolo aspart of a breastfeeding campaign, Area Man-ager forMaternity, PumlaNongwengwe, saidexclusive breastfeeding reduced the risk ofdeadlynutritional bugs, singlingout continu-ous diarrhea.

“If you are using a bottle to feed your baby,

stop today. Most infant deaths are as the re-sult of illnesses contracted through the bottleand others are the result of poisonous compo-nents in foods which are fed to the babythrough the bottle.

“A mother’s milk is never poisonous, evenif themotherhasbeendiagnosedwith theHIVvirus,” said Nongwengwe.

She vehemently criticised the idea of mix-feeding, breastfeeding and bottle-feeding atthe same time, saying it confused the systemof the baby, resulting in weight complica-tions.

Also a mother of a seven-month old babyfrom Ngqobosini around Tsolo, Nonkqubela

Yendu further recommended breastfeedingover bottle-feeding.

“The officials have touched on the nutri-tional advantages of breastfeeding. It is notonly health-guaranteed, but it also increasesthe bond between the mother and the babyand in thatway itmakes it easy for themotherto spot any emotional and physical changesin the baby,” said a breastfeeding Nonkqube-la.

Among the dignitaries who attended the in-formation session was the deputy director ofthe Department of Health Nutrition Pro-gramme in theEasternCape Province, Noma-wonga Kama.

eyiphambili kwesi isizukulwana, kodwa xa ude ube njenoko ziintloni.Uzakufa mfethu if awubambi santya kule nto kuba in-

dala and uyakuyishiya ibhubhisa nabaza emveni kwa-kho.

Mmm, what kind of a woman is she?

You know what when you see a woman walking bare-foot, you ask yourself if she is normal in her mind sinceit is not anormal sight for awoman tobe in that situation.We were parking our Turu-turu in front of the VIP res-

taurant in the place of Cold (Ngqeleni), when we saw abarefoot young woman.At first we thought she was mentally disturbed, only

to find that she was normal but was drunk.We discovered that with the smell that was coming

from her mouth.Uyamazi umntu oselileyo ngokuthanda ukufuna uku-

thethela kowakho umlomo, ngathi awuzumva xa en-gasondelanga.Kuba ke sise samncokolisa sifuna ukwazi ukuphila

ngokupheleleyo kwakhe emva komkumbona ebethangezikaTshiwo.Her feet were like she was dancing on the ashes; never

mind about her vulgar language and unbearable insultsfrom her mouth.Honestly, we don’t want what we saw and it tears our

hearts apart when our sister’s behaviour in a disrespect-ful manner because women are important. They broughtus on the Express land.You know what, uGesh when he saw a woman doing

strange things he thinks of the strong woman like hismum uMathombela who fears ihlazo (disgrace) especial-ly by a woman.Sisi ungaphinde ke mntanasekhaya ungazinxibi izih-

langu uzakudidisa abantu uphinde uthuke ngala ndlela.Kungcono unxile zikhona.Kunzima ekufundeni isiNtu kule genge

Asazi ukuba le imfundo iya ngaphi kuba thina booG-esh ngexesha lemfundo yethu, eyona nto yayiphambilikwakukukwazi ukubhala nokufunda.And sasiyi-practiser time and again daai ding yokub-

hala because sasibhala ileta sicela uthando emacherinwethu or sincokola and we had that nice address.So it was not a problem kuthi to write and read.Mara ngoku siyabhideka kuba kule imbewu yangoku

ayikwazi kufunda nakubhala, yazi ukusoma (speak Eng-lish) qha nokucofa aba noomyayi.Abakwazi ukubhala, yiva thina kuba uthi ekubhalela

akutsho ngo-shot-hand writingongasozewamvaukubauthinika-loku seqhele ezi-social networks.Sebhala incwadi e-formal

isandla sesaqhela ubhala le ntosingayaziyo ukuba kuthiwa yin-toni xa ibizwa.Besibukele omnye umntwana

kumngcwabo ebesiye kuwo efun-da isiXhosa ngesilungu wadewagqiba singavanga ukuba i-obit-uary ibisithini.Kuba uphatha kuhahaza

afunde amagama esiXhosa afanano into ngesilungu.Emveni kwakhe kwangena ixhego elidala elingumvan-

geli lifunda iBhayibhile nelivele layigijima kwanga-bikho kukhubeka.Ube ke sowusixelela ukuba ngubani ofundileyo kunalo

wazi isilungu kakhulu engakwazi kusibhala nakusifun-da nalo avele aqhabalake xa efunda nokuba loluphi ulwi-mi ekwazi nokulubhala kananjalo.Kuba kaloku ungalibali ukuba besithetha kangaka nje

nesilungu sabo abakwazi kusibhala.Kunzima neh?Hayi thina sipasisa kwayila mfundo yakuqala nokuba

ingayi Royal na kakade, kodwa abantu bakhona babek-wazi ukufunda nokubhala.

Is it love or there is something behind?

Perhaps someonewillmakeusunderstand in this prac-tice of young girls who date old men who are even closeto their grandfather’s age.Because we see no reason why a young girl can date

an old man, whilst there are some handsome guys whoare nearer their age. And take it from us they don’t wantto be spotted in the company of these sugar daddies inpublic beside meeting in the private restaurant duringthe late hours if not in old men’s fancy cars.You will see a young girl buying nonstop in a restau-

rant and rush to the Mercedes Benz. But last week wesaw another young lady who was in a company of thisold man at Mike’s Kitchen, UTA.Shame, shewas acting as if she was not goingwith him

but ungawuthini umgosi becausewe came closer to themin order to listen to their conversation and we heard theold man calling her “Sweety”.Something is chilly in these intimate relationships

with sugar daddies. Ungazi ukuba ngamaxhego atheni laadlala ngekamva laba zukulwana bawo.Lingayikhotha imbenge yomile elingake lisondele ku-

Sisipho kaGesh kwacaca nje ukuba kuzakufuneka sokheiihoko zokufihla abantwana bethu ngenxa yoomkhuluabanemikhuba.Shame,masibayeke sithathe ezethu izixhobo sisithele.

Until next time in the gossip column.

Ukubakuthethwa lentomakaliyeke

Becausewe see noreasonwhy a younggirl can date an oldman,whilst there aresome handsome guyswho are at their age.

THE grandstand finish of Mthatha City atthe Rotary Stadium on Saturday has placedthem a step closer to the Nedbank Cup pro-vincial finals by claiming a 2-1 victory.

After beating Mthatha’s team of choice,Mthatha Bucks, by 2-1 on their first matchof the day, Mthatha City never looked back.City’s win lifted the spirit of the players highas they knew they had to face onemore teamon the day.

They knew again that they had to gothrough Thembu Royals in order for them tobook a place in the Nedbank Cup provincialtournament.

Earlier on the day their rivals, ThembuRoyals, showedno compassion as they elimi-nated Zimbane Killers by 3-1.

The Mthatha knockout was a one-dayevent. After the first round of the elimina-tion, the two teamswhichwere going to com-pete for the number one spot in Mthatha,were given at least 90 minutes to rest.

The happy fans and supporters chantedaround the stadium while the grandstandwas roaring with vuvuzelas waiting for thefinal. Coaches of both teams took the resttime as their time to strategise.

The long awaited battle kicked off at4.30pm at a high pace with both teams hun-gry for goals. Coaches couldn’t stop shoutingout instructions to their players as the pres-sure kept building.

After 15 minutes of play in the first-half ofthe match, Thembu Royals showed domi-nance as they pushed forward forcing theCity boys to commit fouls on dangerous are-as which the Royals failed to convert.

The game became tense as the referee kept

digging in his pockets time after time due toclumsy challenges from both teams.

During half-time the score was 1-0 with Roy-als leading.

During the start of the second-half, Royalscame back from the dressing room relaxed,knocking the ball around while the underpressure Mthatha City was in high spiritslooking for an equaliser.

Out of nowhere the City boys managed tosquare the match and again the tempo of thegame increased rapidly with both teams at-tacking, leaving their goalies exposed.

In no time the City boys, from one nil down,scored two goals to claim victory and the de-fence worked over timemaking sure that Roy-als didn’t get another chance to score till thefinal whistle.

With the 2-1 victory, Mthatha City have ad-vanced to the next stage of the tournament tocompete provincially, joining Laliga FC, RealCity andTornadoFCwhohave also triumphedin their respective zones over the weekend.
