The complainant in the Mandla Mandela assault trial,Mlamli Ngudle, shared his disappointment and disbeliefover the court granting Mandla’s legal team leave toappeal his sentence with Express reporter, SIMBONGILEMDLEDLE.

Mandla was found guilty of assault with theintent to do grevious bodily harm in March.LastweekMandlawas sentenced to twoyears

imprisonment with an option of a R10 000 fine,R2 000 of which has been suspended for a yearin the Mthatha Regional Court.Mandla’s legal team applied for leave to ap-

peal against the verdict and the sentence. Mag-istrate Noluthando Conjwa granted leave to ap-peal the sentence, but refused leave for Mandlato appeal his conviction.

MANDLA Mandela’spolitical career re-mains under pres-sure and his publicimage under scru-

tiny as court proceedings involv-ing him continue in Mthatha.

A Mthatha High Court Judgenow has to say “yea or nay” to apetition to turn around an earlierRegional Court ruling againstleave for Mandla and his legalteam to appeal a guilty verdict onan assault charge against the Mve-so Chief.The verdict which was passed

down by Magistrate NoluthandoConjwa in March, stems from acharge against Mandla for alleged-ly assaulting a teacher, MlamliNgudle, in Mthatha in 2013.Mandla’s heavy weight legal

team – including instructing attor-ney, Billy Gundelfinger and advo-

cate Deon Pool – submitted the pe-tition on Monday with which theyare challenging both the convic-tion and the sentence handed todown to Mandla on June 3.No new evidencewill be heard to

determine the outcome of the peti-tion. The Judge’s decision will bebased on the submittedmotivationfor the petition and the evidencebefore court.The petition is mainly based on

what Mandla’s legal team has de-scribed as “inconsistencies be-tween witnesses” and “discrepan-cies and omissions regarding thealleged medical condition of thecomplainant directly after the al-leged assault”.Mandlawas also accused, but ac-

quitted, on a charge of pointing afirearm in contravention with theFire Arms Control Act.In the initial application for

leave to appeal both the sentenceand the conviction, it is put that“TheHonourableMagistrate erred

in finding that the State hadproved the Count of Assault withintent to do Grievous Bodily Harmbeyond a reasonable doubt but‘found on the same evidence, look-ing at the evidence holistically,….’that the charge related to the Fire-armhadnot been proved due to thefinding that ‘none of the witnessesexcept the complainant testified tothe accusedhaving pointed the firearm at the complainant.’”It is not clear exactly when the

Judge will make a ruling regard-ing the petition, but it is expectedthat Mandla should know his fateby month’s end.

) Mandla was sentenced to twoyears imprisonment with an op-tion of a R10 000 fine, R2 000 ofwhich has been suspended for ayear. Should he fail to pay he willgo to jail for a year.The sentence has the condition

that Mandela is not found guilty ofa similar offence in the said period.

Complainant disappointedwithMandlaMandela’s sentenceand conviction

Ngudle expressed his dissatisfaction withthe sentence that had been passed, as wellas with the court’s granting of leave forMandla to appeal the conviction.“The fact that he had been found guilty is

correct. That is a good judgement, but I havegot a problem with the sentencing, becausehe should be imprisoned.”Ngudle said he was highly disappointed

with the judgment.“If you do have money you can buy any

(court) case. R8 000 is like a ‘free march’ toa man like Mandela who’s got money. Thatmoney (a fine of R10 000) is pocket money tohim.”He did praise the court on finding Mandla

guilty on the assault charge.

THE Defence Minister, NosiviweMapisa-Nqakula, had called for thedocumentation of the Pondo Re-volt in the history of South Africa.

She was speaking at the 55thcommemoration of the Pondo Re-volt at Lusikisiki. During the re-volt 11 people were killed by apart-heid security forces whilst 13 werehanged in Pretoria in 1962.Mapisa-Nqakula said that histo-

ry needs to be documented for thebenefit of the young people ofSouthAfrica. She said a young per-son from the area should be writ-ing that history by visiting thosewho survived that war and thosewho know about it.“It’s part of South Africa’s story

which must be written, which ourchildren must learn about. It mustbe told what it was they were fight-ing about, why so many of themdied here at the bottom of that hill,andwhy a number of themwere ex-ecuted in the gallows in Pretoria.”She said the Revolt happened be-

cause of the Pondo people’s resil-ience, their strong political willand their bravery in challengingthe system.She said the commemoration

honours the men and women thatfought for liberation.“We are honouring the men and

women of our country who foughttirelessly to defend and to advanceour just cause of our liberation.“Therefore we come here to com-

memorate this event every year. Itis led by the Department of Art and

Culture to ensure that when thewhole country commemoratestheir heroes and heroines thispart of the country is not left out.”Eastern Cape Premier, Phumu-

lo Masualle, said the Pondo Revoltwas for the liberation movementthe first visible signs of the readi-ness of the ordinary people to real-ly take up arms to fight against theoppressive systems that were in-troduced at the time against them.The Ingquza Hill site is under

construction to be part of the tour-ism and liberation route for its im-mense contribution to the libera-tion struggle. This site will createjob opportunities for the unem-ployed youth in the Pondoland.Funeka Zadunge,a daughter of

one of the slainmembers, ZadungeGavu, said even though the com-memoration was held every yearand they were fed, she still feelsthe pain of being neglected by themunicipality and the politicians.She said she had 10 children whowere unemployed and themunici-pality was not employing themeven though she had spoken to theCouncillor.“I really feel the pain of losing

my father in a brutal way but weare not gaining anything fromthis as I am still suffering in myown country with ten children,one who is an engineer, being un-employed. This after I put himthrough school with the money Igot as a cleaner.“What we see is government

people continuing to benefit with-out thinking about us,” said Za-dunge.TheMEC for Sports, Recreation,

Arts and Culture, Pemmy Majodi-na, said the Pondo Revolt was forthe entire Pondoland area and itwas not attributed to the familiesof those who died. She , however,thanked them for the dedication oftheir family members who died.“R15 million has been spent to

build the heritage site which will

be a tourist attraction that couldcreate job opportunities for thepeople of the area.“There were 11 people who died

down at the river and a plaque willbe erected there.

We will have to repatriate thespirits of those who died in Preto-ria,” said Majodina.

THE Department of Sport, Recrea-tion, Arts and Culture, in partner-ship with OR Tambo District Mu-nicipality, Ingquza Local Munici-pality and the Ngquza HillCommittee, recently commemorat-ed the55thanniversaryof theNgqu-za Hill Massacre.

A three-day event covered sportandrecreationactivities, amemori-al lecture and the commemoration,to remember this historic event.The sport and recreation activitiestook place at Jikintaba Junior Sec-ondary SchoolMay 30 and 31, whileANC General Secretary GwedeMantashe conducted the memoriallecture and the commemorationtook place at Ngquza Hill last Fri-day.Mantashe told to the youth who

attended that it was important forthem to know why great grandpar-ents had to die and what they werefighting for.“The Ngquza Hill Massacre of

1960 should be seen in the broadercontext of the South African peas-ants’ resistance to oppression andatrocities inflictedby theApartheidgovernment to Africans.“Fifty-five years ago the Hill of

Ngquza – Lusikikisi in the EasternCape, situated a few kilometresfrom Holy Cross Anglican Missionand Holy Cross Hospital under Ing-quza Hill, witnessed what were tobecome SA’s historic land-marks ofthe liberation.”He said one of the places, was

usedby thepeople fromall theEast-ern Cape Pondoland towns (Mt Ay-liff, Ntabankulu, Mbizana, Lusikis-

iki and Flagstaff) as their office todiscuss sensitive political issuesaffecting their people. AmaMpon-dowere protesting against the op-pressive laws of the then govern-ment and would meet at this hillto strategize and mobilise.Mantashe said the AmaMPon-

do were against the apartheidlaws, such as the use of dompass,land act, Bantu Education Actand taxes which were to be paidfor cattle.“Somechiefswerewiththemin

the struggle, whilst others weretotally against what was takingplace.Therewerealsopeoplewhoweregovernment informers, (am-ajendevu or iimpimpi), whowereattending these meetings butwould take out all the informa-tion.”He said days before June 6, it

wasagreed thatpeople fromotherdistricts would meet at NgquzaHill. They suspected that some oftheplacestheyusedtomeetathadbeen disclosed to the governmentpolice.

On June 6, whilst they were atthe bottom of Ngquza Hill, theyheard helicopters coming, spray-ing them with teargas, and firingat them with guns.“Though shocked and un-

armed, theydidnot runaway,butfought back with knobkierries.Elevenpeople diedon the spot, in-cluding their leader, ComradeWanaJohnson,whowascarryinga white flag indicating that theywerenot fighting.About58peoplewere injured at Ngquza Hill.Some managed to run away withminor injuries and others werenot injured.”

community, they came to an agree-ment to build a Grade R classroom forthe Langalakhe Junior SecondarySchool in the Mdlankomo location aspart of the training.One of the youths who benefited

from the training is Sikhonzile Titiya(22) from Marhewini location.“This training will surely open

DEPUTY Minister of Higher Education andTraining Mduduzi Manana enticed KingSabataDalindyeboFET learners tomakeuseof the newly–launched free, flavoured con-doms.

Manana was addressing the learners lastFriday at the launch of the “First ThingsFirst” wellness programme for students inthe higher education and training sector atKSD FET college in Mthatha.“We understand that most of the students

in FET colleges are from impoverished back-grounds and with higher numbers of HIV/AIDS infected in these colleges, we decidedto put extra effort in this sector to raiseawareness against this pandemic,” said Ma-nana.He said, together with the Department of

Health, they conducted a survey after seeingthe rise in figures despite condoms being

made available.“As we were talking to the students in the

higher education sector, they told us that thefree condoms are not good enough becausethey have a bad smell and they cannot affordto buy the flavoured ones as they are expen-sive. We therefore decided to hand out fla-voured ones,” said Deputy Minister.He said that his department is working on

improving all the FET colleges tomake themthe institutions of first choice because thecountry needs skills produced in this sectorfor economic freedom.Also participating in the launch was HIV/

AIDS activist, motivational speaker andMetro FM talk-show host Criselda Kanandawho encouraged the students to get tested tolead a healthy lifestyle.“First things first, get tested because not

knowing is very dangerous. You should stayaway from married men and women whopromise you heaven because they will onlydestroy your future,” said Kananda.

THE secretary forthe House of Tradi-tional Leaders,Xolile Ndevu, hascondemned the ac-tions of villagerswho still believethat a dead cow oranimal must beburied in a stom-ach.

He said thatthey, as tradition-al leaders, arewarning commu-nity members totake this seriouslybecause they areputting their livesat risk.“In the past, peo-

ple used to eat deadanimals. But timeshave changed.”Ndevu said that

they have talked tocommunity mem-bers to explainwhy they shouldbury their dead an-imals, but becauseof poverty peoplerather eat themthan bury them.Ndevu’s warn-

ing follows a re-cent incidentwhere a boy diedand dozens of peo-ple were admittedto All Saints hospi-tal in Ngcobo afterthey ate a deadcow.A total of 76 peo-

ple were admittedto All Saints Hos-pital and six criti-cal patients weretransferred to Co-fimvaba Hospital.The spokesper-

son for the Depart-ment of Health,Sizwe Kupelo, saidall the people whowere admitted atthe hospital weretreated for foodpoisoning.According to

him one boy (13)died because ofthis incident.After eating the

cow, the patientscomplained of se-vere headaches, di-arrhea and vomit-ing.Kupelo said they

had issued warn-ings on several oc-casions for peoplenot to eat an ani-mal that has diedon its own, but itseems that theirwarnings had fall-en on deaf ears.“This could cost

them their lives.We appeal to peo-ple to stop eatingthese animals be-cause they areplaying with theirlives.”

LEARNERS from the SirunuJunior Secondary School in El-liotdale will now be able to puttheir books on lap-desks whenwriting.

This follows an interventionby Amway and the Tutu desksProject who handed over 540lap-desks to the school.A total of 1 500 lap-desks had

been handed over to SirunuJunior Secondary and GanizuluSenior Secondary Schools in El-liotdale.According to Sirunu princi-

pal, Oriet Genukile, conditionshad been very bad, since leanershad been forced to put books ontheir knees when writing, ow-ing to a lack of furniture.“These lap-desks will bring

about change, because now ourchildren will be comfortable

when writing. We are very hap-py about the change the AmwayTutu lap-desks are bringingabout in our school and we arelooking forward to workingwith Amway and the TutuProject, since we now have apartnership,” said Genukile.He said some learners had

been dropping out of school be-cause of the situation prior to re-ceiving the lap-desks.The Secretary for the School

Governing Body (SGB), Nokwa-zi Sirunu, said parents were alsohappy about the intervention.“We hope that children will

now continue going to school,since they know that the situa-tion is better now. I am sure par-ents will never forget what thisdonation means,” said Sirunu.Amway – Champion of the Tu-

tu Desk Project since 2010 aspart of its worldwide One-by-One Campaign for children

–will provide lap-desks as amuch needed solution to schoolswithout sufficient facilities.The General Manager of Am-

way South Africa, Raj Parsho-tam, said the reasons why theyhave a partnership with the Tu-tu Desk Project, include theshared vision to help people livea better life. They are startingwith children, because they be-lieve education is the key to suc-cess.“With over R2,2 million in-

vested by Amway since, 2010,the Amway Tutudesk Campaignwas formed in support of theDesmond Tutu Tutudesk Cam-paign and its goal to provide 20million children in Sub-SaharanAfrica with mobile lap-desks bythe end of 2020,” said Parsho-tam.Learners will be able to take

their lap-desks home tomake do-ing homework easier.

WBAMiniflweight kingpinHek-kie The “Hexecutioner” Budleron 9 September in a fight hismentor Madoda “One-more-Time” Dyonase believes theywill win.An upbeat Dyonase believes

that Toyi Toyi Baleni is fired-upand ready to take off whereKhonkco left. According to Dyo-nase, theEasternCape title hold-er and SA title mandatory chal-lenger Baleni, with six wins andfour losses behind his name, has

got what it takes to emulateKhoncoandbring the title home.Third ranked Roboshi who

carries the record of 10 fightswith eight wins (5KOs) and twolosses, believes this fight willcatapult him to stardom.According to his trainer Mla-

wuli Nawule, come the fightnight, Roboshi will break thespell of themecca of boxing, Nel-son Mandela Bay, which hasbeen without a national titlefrom their male pugilists formore than 10 years, save forNomampondomise Xotyeni whois the female SA Junior Light-weight titlist.Since losing to Nhlanhla
