The amazing thing is that you would come here as a visitor yet you will never leave without being offered food and drink. The way people in Eastern cape have the spirit of Ubuntu ♥
But it doesn’t make sense to spend 23m building a road for 23 households, when they can be relocated to a village with infrastructure, amenities and an RDP house. I understand our government failed our ppl but then we need to be realistic
Sodolophu is talking nonsense,R23 million is peanuts,he could have easily used that infrastructure grant to construct that bridge,he could have done it in phases,spend atleast R8mln each financial year, the bridge would be long complete by now.I'm appalled and disgusted by the lack of foresight and incompetence in the province.
am hoping to see a feed back for this community if government already assist them,its so bad as am seen children's going so long for education,dead people without transport and water problem
It seems they are punished for exercising their right and freedom to choose where they want to stay. No matter how much it cost to send services to that area...ayinolinganiswa nobomi babantu nee future zabantwana ezimoshakalayo. Imali ihleli ityiwa njee even...Millions...now xa zisiya ebantwini yincitho...eloxesha multiple millions ziqhele ukubiwa by few individuals. Haai justice please. This is violation of human rights.
Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki both born and raised in the rural EC, they did not tackle this challenges facing their own people... I am not a prophet, but I don't foresee any development coming to this village in a century to come
The people are not poor here, the people lack basic services: Roads, Purified water , Transport and Electricity. Notice how these people are not demanding houses and jobs.
It is true that the People are suffering, but if indeed they were offered a chance to relocate, then how can 1 blame the government, I'm usually critical when It comes to the government, but if it's true that road construction was gonna cost 23 M, when the municipality was getting 60 M for MIG, then relocation is the most fiscally sound option, but the people apparently rejected it, I heard some of the interviewees saying they will never leave the place even if they are offered RDPs elsewhere, the what do u want the government to do?
What a heart breaking episode of black South Africans suffering under the so called democracy 'ANC' government, how could you easily say people must leave their ancestoral land nd go where you like... That's pure nonsense... 😡😡
In essence the Mayor is saying he cannot do anything for the people of Mpindweni. These people are basically forced to move from the land of their great grand Parents because the government cannot provide them basic necessities? How is this democracy different from the apartheid? Abantu bakuthi kodwa kudlaliwe ngabo, this is sooo painful to watch
Akasakhumshi nje lo Sodolophu ethetha into engavakaliyo phofu abe ebuzwa ngesXhosa. Akunzima ku Rhulumente we ANC. He talks about millions of rands kodwa inkonzo Dololo!!! Yhini abantu bade basokole kanje
If it would cost R20m+ to deliver services to that community, the government could divide the budget yearly. It was easy for them to adopt the community’s decision cause it would save them money and will give them excuse to share to the media. They can do the work but they don’t want to because it does not affect them directly. Trust me put that municipal guy with his family at that community, you will have a budget for the road and a bridge in less than a year. We have seen it with the COVID19 pandemic, government is capable of working out a plan they just don’t want because it does not 1. Benefit them 2. Affect them.
SARS is incredibly efficient regarding the collection of tax money. The problem is that tax money is wasted due to the high level of corruption and incompetence in government. 26 years on and people still don't have running water? It's very unfortunate that state funds are wasted/stolen through corruption and that those who are guilty of this rarely face the consequences.
I strongly doubt that this village will get any services from the government i.e ANC but our people still vote for them with the hope that things will change 💔💔...🚮
I heard him say the community rejected relocation proposals, I heard him in 2014/15 (or sometime there), the cost of building the road would amount to 23 Mil, while the municipality was getting 60 Mil MIG, I heard community members say they will never leave the area, sometimes we are just being too hard on the government, relocation is the only feasible option
We are the government. What yall talking about. We should force the representative of government to reach out to our people in difficult circumstances. We are the government, stop giving yall powers away. We should hold these people accountable.
As much as this is very difficult and sad but I think the people should really consider relocating, they must think about their children, this has a devastating impact on their education because if they continue staying there it's just going to be a continuous vicious cycle
Painful situation they live in, something must be done to assist this community, if the kids are allowed to grow like this, their lives will be thesame like their parents, it won't change, they need to be assisted now not later.
This should have been attended to urgently. The thing in South Africa a situation has to affect the pockets of the rich before is considered urgent. Billions were invested in Corona because the Rich are losing Income. If this money was available before corona why could they not give it to the betterment of such communities. It is unfair that priority is given to the privileged. Ramaphosa and your team you must do something about this...!!!
Why does our tax money never reach people living in these conditions. It like they are forgotten. How heart broken. So many funds in SA are looted and a blind eye is turned everytime. If no one ever goes to jail it will never ever stop. Our people are suffering.
This is really heartbreaking ,the community came in numbers thinking they’d get help😭or at least make their ordeals known to the nation🥺.The ANC is net a bunch of goons in expensive suits.how do they sleep at night knowing that there are people who live in such a state?This situation is dire and it’s the worst of it’s kind🤮😭.
Ngibuka the incompetence of the highest level at the local government, as well as the provincial government. Where umaspala engakhoni kumele abe nayo indlela yokukhuluma ne province ukuze asizwe...
This is just the reality of the matter. Let’s face it people, SA government has failed so many and I’m sorry to say but it’s still going to get worse. People in the townships are suffering and requesting for far cheaper things than indlela ye 23million and still their requests are not being met. I’m not saying intle lento yenzekayo but ke as uSodoluphu sele tshilo is that some things are beyond their capabilities.
Matome Moloisi I really do disagree with you there. They’re happy there no matter the circumstances and that what matters most. And with our history as black people, being stripped of our land; forced removals of the apartheid era and all that. And then this government is tryna do the same thing, removing the people from their land instead of providing them with roads, is really sad and pathetic. I love their pride and unity in standing in what they believe in xeim mna.
I learned that if I won't be able to change the external factors,like the government - then I should change myself to adapt to new situations,even if it means I should wrestle my attitude to embrace change in persuit of a better life.In this instance I would have chosen to relocate,and let go of my fears like that other man who now lives in a new RDP house,closer to service providers.Sometimes we need to change...
What a sad story, I even wonder if this people are even going to receive the Unemployment social relief grant through this hard times of the world, is it really the 26 years of Freedom with the "A Better life for all" Slogan? that we keep on voting for...
And if minerals would be found on this land they will quickly come to move them to other areas and build them houses... Why must things be done only if they benefit those who are rich...
The amazing thing is that you would come here as a visitor yet you will never leave without being offered food and drink. The way people in Eastern cape have the spirit of Ubuntu ♥
When makhulu said "Bayaphela abantwana bethu, ne donki ziyafa" I felt that.
This is so painful, to think people in the cities of South Africa are busy complaining for wifi 😢😢
This is so sad. I love their unity and love. May the government intervene
Pls government of SA help these people.
If we can cut pays for covid, we can do it for this too.
Ya neh. Let's appreciate the basics we have. People are struggling
How ironic.... one guy is wearing a yellow ANC shirt.
26 years of freedom yoknuka. Mxxm!
I saw more than 3 people on that programe wearing those T-shirts
:-(
Thanks for being realistic
Yup... The anc has stolen the future for " the rainbow nation".
Iyooo! In 2020 we still live this life. ANC has failed us
Niyayithanda nicinga uramaphosa uzobanexesha leni e rich nemali haymann

I agree with you
It make sense because 23 Households Voted for R23 Million,it's their Land and Love Village.
Exactly I agree with you 100% but then again they don't want to relocate
Yoh yoh this is by far the hardest episode ye cutting edge 😔💔
ANC should be ashamed of themselves.
Sodolophu is talking nonsense,R23 million is peanuts,he could have easily used that infrastructure grant to construct that bridge,he could have done it in phases,spend atleast R8mln each financial year, the bridge would be long complete by now.I'm appalled and disgusted by the lack of foresight and incompetence in the province.
What is 23 million after all
"Ulile ulile uzesule"😭😭Ayibuhlungu lento
That part cut right deep inside me. How sad...

Imagine it's their Forefathers Land
The funny part is that in every election campaign ANC visit there. ANC is so cruel
Njalo
Ey khafane ucinge and basoloko bebathembisa umgaqo nezizinto abazidingayo but never deliver
My thought exactly
This is sad, I think its time the government do something, this people are suffering big time
Government seriously need to do something for this community. Its very sad and unbelievable to see people living this life in 2020.
So unemployment is 100% there and no one even cares about that. May that little girls dream of becoming a lawyer be granted and help them.
Amen!!!!!!!
Wish i could visit this beautiful village that is far from this crazy world.
This is very sad, I think the people should accept the fact of relocating to new place and closer to services.
ANC should upgrade the place start by such places but they upgrade places that better already not fair
Ikhona into ekhumshisayo kuloSodolophu yazi ubizwa ngesixhosa, akwaba bendinendlela yothengela uGogo izihlangu zonxiba kobubusika maan
😭😭😭😭
Ingxaki uphethwe kungabinanyani so uqonda uba azovakala ngcono xa ekhumsha.
Lots of villages like this in the eastern cape . ANC has failed us
Yet you guys keep voting for them.
Aibo labantu badinga ukululekwa ngokwasenqondweni bashiye lendawo ngoba ayinothanga ngalutho iwugwadule , mabashiye lendawo . Amathuna wokhokho ababiyele n akhonkwe bawakashele ngoba ngeke intuthuko bayithole manje
What is freedom? We should broaden the current definition of "freedom"
Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki both born and raised in the rural EC, they did not tackle this challenges facing their own people... I am not a prophet, but I don't foresee any development coming to this village in a century to come
Dude Sa is a joke, you should see what other nations think about us
This is far worse than staying in the shack in the urban areas
The surprising thing is that the are roads or a bridge but come elections voting stations are available.
This cant be the same South African i live in, i thought i knew poverty. Kodwa this😢
It's not completely inhumane to let people to live like this.
The people are not poor here, the people lack basic services: Roads, Purified water , Transport and Electricity. Notice how these people are not demanding houses and jobs.
Yhoo ayibibuhlungu intliziyo yam 💔💔💔💔💔😢. Wayaphi na urhulumente e Eastern Cape? Mnkr hay shem 😢
This place is similar to my fathers village (in KZN - Kwa-Ngwelu or Mountain view) we buried him under same circumstances

I don't even understand why he's a mayor yet he can't even help his own people ✋..
R60 million budget simple means they cannot get assisted, rather assist the places that are not that much in need.... Why ipolitiki inje vele?
