E500 per home to build E3.4m umphakatsi

-

The Ministry of Tinkhundla must build that modern umphakatsi bayekele sive semango asinamali, sibhekene netikolwa lesingakho­ni kutibhadal­a. BEST NENE

Where are the residents going to get the money from in this day and age of financial challenges? Can the government at least subsidise this project?

The Nyakeni authoritie­s have time to fool around; lemali lengaka yemadoda. Nalokubeka bantfu labangatsi banemali kuleliband­la, bese nicabanga kutsi bonkhe bantfu banemali; kahleni please! JAMES NORMA MARTIS

We all know about the kuhlehla culture emiphakats­i, but this is rather too much. The money is too much.

SIZA MCUSI

Lokwabonwa maSwati; a whole E500.

And then there is a resident who is in desperate need of E12k. FIKILE MANTINI

Sicela umphakatsi mane ucele tandla kulabafane­le kubanjiswa ekwakheni kutomane kunciphe lemali. MAJAHA METHULA

Nyakeni is in need of a new royal kraal.

Umphakatsi kwamele wakhiwe. SMISO SMEEZY MKHABELA

The Nyakeni residents must go back to the drawing board and review this decision.

MANGALISO MAMBA

What have chiefs been told kantsi; where do they think we get the money from? You will find that some of the residents do not even work.

BHAMBATHA CARWASH

Hha, the chief wants his own Nkandla.

LIHLE NKHOSI

The chief is relatively new, so he needs a new place of abode. DUMA ZULU

That is madness, where do they think the residents will get the money from? The chief must pay for building his own residence; angitsi uyahola.

XOLLY NKHOSI DLAMINI

Not forgetting that the same chief is a member of the army and can afford to build that house himself! But no, he has to take from the poorest to live a lavish lifestyle!

VIVION VILAKATI

It is not wrong kukhipha loko lokuncane lonako but E500 is a lot of money.

MABHEKZO NHLENGETFW­A

If the modern umphakatsi will cost residents that huge amount, asibuyelen­i kuboguca. CLANBOY SMANGA MANANA

A resident who does not have the money must offer manpower at least.

TREVOR MASUKU

The E500 per home to build a E3.4 million umphakatsi must be contribute­d by those who are working.

SIYA MGILIJA

I encourage the residents not to contribute that E500 yekwakha
