This cannot continue.

Sizakuhlala sikhalela ukungahoywa kodwa sithule xa kufuneka sithethe. The municipal budget process begins here—these IDP engagements are not ceremonial; they exist to identify the real needs of communities so that public funds are allocated where they are actually required. The people who live the daily realities are supposed to shape those priorities.

Xa iWard 6 ingafakwanga kwezi engagements, it is not a small oversight—it is a direct exclusion. It means as the new financial year begins, our ward is effectively written out of development plans. Resources will be directed to areas that were consulted, while we are expected to accept neglect as if it were normal.

This is not incompetence. It is disregard. It is a pattern that undermines us and assumes we will remain passive.

That assumption is wrong.

We need to make it clear—firmly and unapologetically—that Ward 6 will not be sidelined. We have the voice, the numbers, and the resolve to challenge this. What they continue to treat as impossible can, and will, be changed.

Two University of Fort Hare (UFH) law students, Christian Buthelezi and Babalwa Mofokeng, whose names have become synonymous with excellence in legal mooting competitions, have been selected to represent Africa at the prestigious Price Media Law Moot Court Competition at Oxford University this April.

The duo’s journey to Oxford is not a sudden breakthrough. It is the culmination of a journey that began almost immediately after setting foot on UFH’s campus – one that is marked by victories.

Buthelezi and Mofokeng began mooting in the second year of their LLB studies and quickly made their mark by winning the junior cohort of the Faculty’s internal Moot Court competition. Their momentum intensified in 2025 when they clinched the prestigious Public Interest Law Moot Court title, arguing before judges at the Constitutional Court of South Africa and emerging victorious against top South African universities.

That national triumph cemented their status as one of the country’s most formidable student legal teams and evidently laid the foundation for Oxford University.
