King
in battle over secession - 23 February
King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo was publicly branded a "traitor"
by opponents of secession plans during a public gathering of
AbaThembu called to discuss the proposal. Dalindyebo was also
accused of being a "sellout" for making a "mockery"
of sacrifices made by leaders including his own late father,
King Sabata Dalindyebo. Speakers included women, youth,
political leaders, traditional leaders, the clergy and academics
who made their feelings clear at Bumbane Great Place on Sunday.

mom wants her kids back - 1 March
The mother whose two children were removed from her following
claims that they were neglected and exposed to "ganja"
(dagga) as their parents belonged to a nomadic cult, desperately
wants them back. Sandra said her family took the facts on which
they had her first son removed from her care, and used them
(with a few adjustments) in their bid to take her other two
children away as well. Sandra has in the meantime left the
father of her children and she wants nothing more to do with
him. - IOL website
