Community members pay homage to teachers

The community of Lombard under the M’tititi Tribal Authority in Malamulele has paid homage to retiring school principal Thomas Mashava and longstanding educator Morris Nkwinika on their retirement a fornight ago.

The community and the school held a joint event to honour the two for their service to the school and the community. The community was represented by the Lombard M’tititi Development committee.

Mr Jeff Mabasa, who represented the committee, said he was in his forties and he was one of the people who went through Nkwinika and Mashava’s hands. “We are part of this community and we are ready to assist the new staff in making a difference to the community,” said Mabasa, whose community had earlier donated ten computers to the school.

Praises for the role played by the two came from the governing body. Chairperson Rose Mthombeni said the two outgoing educators were selfless and cooperative. They were also happy with the incoming school principal, George Maluleke, as he had worked harmoniously with the outgoing regime.

The community also gave gifts to Mr Elias Bilankulu, who retired eight years ago.
