Dire Consequences

By MR. NGOBENI, NGHETLENGE CASE

It gratifies me to have to pen my opinion and observation of a talented man whose sense of duty has placed him above the status of ordinary man. Such a man is Mr Nghetlenge Case Ngobeni.

He is a man whose head is full of ideas. He wishes  to express his ideas to the community at large through various avenues like working with books.

He also uses the radio to communicate  with people. If it is in the street,  his  voice  is  there.  The  ideas that he airs on the radio, set tongues wagging. .He  has written a number of books that educate and provoke the mind of the  reader,  He  digs  his  heels in the sands of time.

I personally feel very proud to have such a person     of his talent. He fully contributes to all the activities that happen in the Valoyi/N'wamitwa Community.

He is the member of Royal Council. He is also my official Praise Singer and serves in my advisory committee, a very high level body comprising of specially gifted people,  academics,  professors, doctors and religious men.

To me and to the community of N'wamitwa, he is God's given jewel. He thus carves a niche in the society of which he becomes a useful citizen. He is  a renowned motivational speaker.
