The school’s LRC president Nokuthula Ngomane during extra-classes

The school’s headmaster, Dan Khoza, said they were advised by the department to do extra classes in order to do well.

They are starting to conduct these extra-classes from 14h00-16h00 and 18h00-22h00 and educators at the school are reportedly pleased with the commitment shown by the learners.

According to Nokuthula Ngomane, who is the school’s LRC president their intention is to prove to the department that their village has always deserved a secondary school.

With the camp they had at the beginning of this month, they are expecting to reap good results and walk away with distinctions. Nokuthula urged the rest of the learners to use each and every hour fruitfully as the examinations are about to commence.

MBUZINI- Calls have continued to pour into Nkomazi Voice’s offices about the Mbuzini Police Station’s alleged lack of a telephone line. Residents of KaMlambo report that they are frustrated each time if they want to contact the police. Sources within the police station have also confirmed that the station does not have a direct line and that they rely on Tonga police station’s phone as they are sharing a yard with them.

They also share other amenities such as photocopy machines, fax machines and other basic equipment. This is a result of the slow pace on the construction site of the new police station at Mbangwane.

“We are not overly worried about the slow pace on the construction of the new station but what really concerns us is that we cannot reach the police when our lives are under threat,” said Skhumbuzo Khoza of Kamandulo.

Khoza further said they don’t have access to all the necessary services like the certification of copies because of the police station having been relocated to Tonga.

Mbuzini police spokesman, Constable Sibusiso Bernard Masinga, said the entire situation started after they vacated the old building.

“Because of the renovation process we had to relocate from the old building to the new and our line was affected,” he said.

He made available indications that residents could use a cell phone number for reporting cases to the police station.

Meanwhile the construction of this the new premises at Mbangwane has become a sticky point for the tribal authority.

They have complained that they were never consulted before construction got underway.

This paper reported that the tribal authority’s councilors have insisted that only local people should be employed during construction.

People are urged to call police at the following numbers for emergency: 082 4555 632, 082 448 9672 and 082 448 9653 at anytime.
