MASUNDVWINI:Sigodvo Motsa of the Masundvwini Inner Council has apologized to orphan Sibonokuhle Langa, whose home was grabbed and sold by Umgijimi Steven Magongo for four hundred and fifty thousand Rands(R450,000.00).
This comes after the story was widely publicized by this Swaziland News,the orphan was kicked out of his home that he inherited from his late grandmother Gogo Mdluli.
But despite an order issued by Ndabazabantu and Manzini Regional Administrator Chief Prince Gija directing the Council to allow Langa back home, uMgijimi Steven Motsa evicted the orphan with impunity and sources alleged that,he was frustrated because the order was suggesting that, he must pay back the money.
On Tuesday, as the matter continues to make headlines,the Masudvwini Inner Council subsequently invited the orphan for a meeting where Motsa formally apologized on behalf of the Masundvwini Inner Council.
Reached for comments on Tuesday evening,Sibonokuhle Langa confirmed that, the Inner Council welcomed him and further promised to work on the matter urgently so he could return home.
“Sigodvo Motsa first apologized saying they only read about the matter in the media and they were not aware that,uMgijimi Steven Magongo took R450,000.00.Motsa confirmed that,as the Council, they only accepted a cow for kukhonta from the person who purchased the home from Magongo and it seems they were given wrong information about the ownership of the home.Now that they have received the correct information,they promised to meet the Regional Administrator Prince Gija and resolved the issue.Ngihambe kahle bangemukele kahle sakhuluma”, said the orphan when speaking to editor Zweli Martin Dlamini.
