Mhlawumbe eminyakeni eminingi ezayo ilapho noqala khona uku-apreciata ubukhulu bomsebenzi wenu. Ngibonga uThixo imihla yonke ngokusidalela nina abantu abanekhono nesiphiwo sokulungisa umonakalo owashiywa oKhokho bethu bengawufezanga.Nime njalo maMbatha kaSontshikazi!JabulaninonkeSizwesamaMbathaBhut JabulaniSiyabonga Bhuti ngokuba nethemba kumsebenzi wethu siyathemba noSontshikazi bazosikhusela.Mrs Maureen Seme-Mahlaba26/02/2014 at 10:22 amAre you the same Simon Jabulani Mbatha who is originally from C section in uMlazi (kzn)?Maureen Ntombi Seme, ngiwuye nezinqotho. Engingakwazi ukuthi ufunani emlandweni wakithi uze ungithole nje? This confirms my statement above about the magnitude of the impact of Stanley’s and Maswidi’s work. Ngisho abantu abangebona abasemaMbatheni regularly visit our website for knowledge. This is a compliment Ntombi not a complaint. Praise be to these founding members of amambatha Heritafe Society, who will certainly go down in history as the heroes amaqhawe omlando wamaMbatha.Imina uGxobthuvi inkunzi yengulube abathi kayingeni ediphini eMnambithi ngoba kayinampondo.

This has, by and large, been driven by the impetus created by the well-researched information and knowledge, as well as the enthusiasm of individual members, (both man and women, young and old), frantically searching for their true identity within amaMbatha Nation.In order to sustain the growth of any brand and prevent it from stagnating and plateauing , some form of brand advertising, marketing and promotion is undertaken as strategic interventions. AmaMbatha Heritage as an analogous brand needs to proactively follow the same treatment at some stage. Our leadership needs to strategically evaluate the status of the AHS and its growth, analyse the emerging trends of new membership needs (tying what AHS wants to what the new membership wants), or even review their mission.A few points to ponder when brainstorming this could be:1.	Positioning for fundraising – (NPO profiling vs funding requirements, etc)2.	Positioning for growth / expansion – (spreading AHS wings, assets and structures in Provinces)3.	Membership Economic empowerment – (NPO NGOs, Co-operatives, Trusts, Foundations, etc)4.	Institutional growth – (National, Provincial, Regional hegemony)5.	Value propositions – (Adopted resolutions and benefits to members)6.	National symbols – (logo, flags, uniform / t-shirts / berets, etc.)08/08/2014 at 1:24 pmPlease consider including in our long-term vision having AMAMBATHA Nation on a sustainable development pedestal surpassing all other minority nations in our Country. We must be able to use our individual God-given space and liverage our Mbatha national commonality to re-invigorate a new pride in our Mbatha nation. We have the intellect, the wisdom and the long-term vision by virtue of the space and the societal positions we occupy. God has given this to us for a purpose. We may not be able to do much about the plight of all the poor people of South Africa, BUT At least we can influence the direction in which the development history of our Mbatha nation, as it unfolds, is taking.We need young activists to run with this as a project or campaign, spice it up a bit with some empowerment programmes for sustainable development.Now that there is a new Ministry of Small Businesses and other offerings the new Government Administration is trying to use in redeeming itself from the past inadequacies, we must tap on the existing Government support programmes for NPOs, SMMEs, Co-operatives, Trusts, etc, We are represented in every sector of Government structures and Public Agencies.Amambathaakhonakuyoyonkeimikhakha. All we need is a unifying theme and a rallying call to launch a successful campaign that might result in a sustainable empowerment platform for theShandu new generation, if you like. OR even use the old AMABUTHIO strategy to align it to Rural systems, e.g. Dlekezela Regiment, Sotshikazi Regiment, Mthiya Regiment, etc. for different areasfor maximal impact. and so on and so forts.08/08/2014 at 1:37 pmAMAMBATHA NATION AS A BRAND: In order to promote and develop our Nation kunazozonkeezinyeizizwanaezikhonaeSouth Africa, e.g. amaSulumane, Somalies, Nigerians, Ngcobos, Madlandunas, Nxamalalas, Bafokengs, etc. kumelesakhelephezukobuzwebethu as amaMbatha, sibenobunye, bese sizithuthukisethinamsalofu. We need to have a marketing team or Committee to do ……;INDAWO YASEMAMBATHENI: In each and evry Province where we are organized, we must ultimately have our own place ebizwangathi, for all our needs.EMPOWERMENT: Below 18 yrs- every Mbatha child must be schooling somehow, (no steet or lost children or eziwuvazi nje) ambitious dream or not! and all qualifying children must be registered for imaliyeqolo, (for as long as it is available).Between 18 – 65 : either uyafunda (tertiary) or employed or unebhizinisi. OR kukhonaokwenzayo to generate money and be bankable.Unemployed members must be grouped according to their interest and encouraged and assisted to form Co-operatives / small companies / NPO’s, etc.Above 65 yrs – all our aged must be registered for some form of relevant Social Grants, odekle or sick pension, etc.(Lets have Activists volonteering to be part of these activities)Lets adopt the Moslem strategy – become the suppliers and buyers of our own products / service; sewing Mthiya uniform / traditional attires, events co-ordination /	management, etc;FUNDRAISING:	A fundraising committee to be set up to mobilize all available Government Grants and Incentive Schemes, Funding Support Programmes, Funding opportunities, for the benefit of our Nation. (We need to network and mobilize all strategically posotioned Mbatha members in all sectors of our societies for this purpose).FORGIVE ME IF I AM GETTING CARRIED AWAY HERE, I CAN’T HELP, I LOVE THIS NATION. AT MY AGE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER NATION BENEFITING TOO MUCH . I THINK ITS OUR TURN AS THA AMAMBATHA NATION. LETS BROADEN OUR HORISEN AND SPREAD OUR WINGS A BIT.JabulaninonkesizwesamaMbatha, umfo ka MasuzeleyintininjengoTununu.21/09/2014 at 12:03 pmMina I just want to say thank you for making people realise that we as Mbatha’s are destined for much more better things an were from royalt please keep me updated.I like to work in shandu funeral parlour im in newcastle17/07/2015 at 10:46 amNgiyalibulisa sizwe sonke samaMbatha.Ngokuzithoba okukhulu nangeNhlonipho engikhuliswe ngayo,ngiyabingelela emphakathini.mina ngingu Bonani kaNdabazonke ngonyama,ngiyaxolisa ukumane ngiwele kuleNkundla nginga menyiwe ,kodwa ke ngihamba ngomkhondo wemvelaphi yakwethu.i Lungelo lami lingabe linganani laph’ekhaya?thina siyingxenye yesizwe esagoduka sabheka enyakatho,sakhuphukela ngaphesheya kuka Limpopo…siyisizwe sikaManyosi ngokuzwa kwami.sibaningi okumangalisayo ngaphesheya kuka LIMPOPO.if ikhona im’gudu esingayilandela ukuze sihlanganyele nosapho singajabula.ngiyabonga kakhulu.
