Ubunye Bama Hostela sends its deepest condolences to the families affected by the horrific Wedela tavern shooting and urgently calls on the police to intervene.

As a community, we are utterly devastated by the senseless loss of 17 innocent lives in Carletonville. No family should ever have to endure the pain of losing their loved ones to such brutal violence. We stand in absolute solidarity with the grieving families and pray for the swift recovery of the 15 victims currently fighting for their lives in the hospital.

We strongly urge the South African Police Service (SAPS) to deploy all necessary resources immediately. The perpetrators of this heinous act must be hunted down, arrested, and brought to justice without delay. Security in our communities must be tightened to ensure the safety of every citizen.

**Enough is enough.**

Nine sisters, mothers, and daughters are gone. The discovery of nine bodies in the Kempton Park area is a tragedy that shakes us all to the core. We can no longer look away.

This is a direct call to all men: It is time to stand up.

Real strength isn't about power over someone—it is about the power to protect. It is about being the voice that says "no" to abuse, "no" to silence, and "no" to the culture that allows this to happen.

We need *Ubunye* (unity) in our homes, our hostels, and our streets. If you see abuse, speak up. If you see someone acting with violence, step in. It is time for men to lead the charge against Gender-Based Violence.

Protect our women. Protect our children. Our humanity depends on it. 🕊️💔

Today Ubunye Bama Hostela sat Shoulder-to- Shoulder with Groundwork, Presidential climate commission, Atlantis special economic zone, Komati steering committee, eThekwini Municipality, Cosatu and SDCEA

From the heart of the hostels to the pulse of the coast, we rise.

At the Durban South Basin Just Transition session, we aren't just taking our seats at the table—we are building a new foundation. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our communities, the Commission, and our allies, we are weaving a future where the air is cleaner, the work is greener, and our voices echo in the halls of power.

The transition isn't coming; we are leading it.

They say that "fundraising is the gentle art of teaching the joy of giving." Today, we learned the strategy behind that joy. 💡

Thank you, EJF and Groundwork, for hosting such a powerful session with Vuyo. We walked away with clear strategies on how to approach funders with confidence and how to manage our resources with integrity.

Ready to create change! ✨💪

UBH Pays Tribute to Mr Zweni 🕊️

On the 28th of April 2026, we gathered at a major church in Durban to honour the life of our beloved Chairperson, Mr Zweni. The memorial service was deeply moving and well attended, bringing together leaders, comrades, and community members whose lives he touched.
We were honoured to hear heartfelt tributes from respected voices including Mr Thusi, Desmond D'Sa, Mrs Kira Erwin, Sbu Zikode, Mr Lucky Gabela, Mr Sbusiso Hluthwa, Miss Mantombela, and many others. Each speaker reflected on Mr Zweni’s unwavering commitment, his powerful contributions in stakeholder engagements, and the impact he made across communities.
His passing is a profound loss—not only to Ubunye Bama Hostela (UBH), but to all who worked alongside him. He was more than a leader; he was a pillar of strength, a voice for the people, and a guiding force. His absence will be deeply felt, and his role cannot be replaced.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us to mourn, support, and stand in solidarity with UBH and the Zweni family during this difficult time.

🕊️ Rest in Power, Mr Zweni. Your legacy lives on.

💔Ngokudabuka okukhulu, Ubunye bamaHostela bumemezela ukudlula emhlabeni kukasihlalo wethu, uMnu Vusani Zweni.

UMnu Zweni udlule emhlabeni ngoLwesithathu kulandela ukubhekwa kancane emzimbeni kuthathwa okuthile kuyobhekwa. Nakuba ukubhekwa kwakhe kuphumelele futhi ubese esededelwe esibhedlela, okuthusayo lapho ethi uzama ukuthatha izitephu ezimbalwa uyaye wawa wase esishiya.. Lokhu kushona okungazelelwe kushiye umndeni wakhe kanye nabo bonke abasebenze naye beshaqekile kakhulu.

NgeSonto eledlule nje, besihlangene noMnu Zweni emhlanganweni wabaholi owawubanjelwe eThokoza Women’s Hostel, lapho ayesempilweni enhle futhi enomdlandla. Ukudlula kwakhe ngokungazelelwe kunzima ukukukholwa.

UMnu Zweni ubengumholi ohloniphekile, ozinikele, osebenzele inhlangano yethu ngobuqotho, eqinisekisa ukuthi abantu esibamele baphathwa ngesithunzi nangenhlonipho efanele. Ubephinde abe yingxenye ebalulekile yabantu abaphezulu abahlanu kwi-Durban Coalition, lapho abambe iqhaza elikhulu ekuqhamukeni namasu okulethela ushintsho oluhle kumasipala.

Labo abasebenze naye bakhuluma ngobuhlungu obukhulu bokulahlekelwa umholi ovelele owayehlale eletha ukuthula, ubumbano, nobuhlakani ngisho nasezingxoxweni ezinzima kakhulu.

Ngaphandle kobuholi bakhe enhlanganweni, uMnu Zweni ubengumnikazi wamatekisi ohloniphekile futhi engumuntu obalulekile enhlanganweni yamatekisi, owaziwa ngokuletha izixazululo nokuqondisa.

It is with deep sorrow that Ubunye bamaHostela announces the passing of our chairperson, Mr Vusani Zweni.

Mr Zweni passed away on Wednesday following a minor operation. Although the procedure was successful and he had been discharged, he sadly collapsed shortly afterward and passed on. This tragic loss has come as a great shock to both his family and all who worked closely with him.

Just this past Sunday, we were together with Mr Zweni at an office bearers’ meeting held at Thokoza Women’s Hostel, where he was in good health and high spirits. His sudden passing is difficult to comprehend.

Mr Zweni was a respected and dedicated leader who served our organisation with integrity, always ensuring that the people we represent were treated with dignity and respect. He also played a key role as one of the top five members of the Durban Coalition, where he contributed meaningfully to strategies aimed at driving positive change within the Municipality.

Those who worked alongside him speak of the deep pain of losing a remarkable leader one who consistently brought calm, unity, and wisdom to even the most challenging discussions.

Beyond his leadership in the organisation, Mr Zweni was also a respected taxi owner and an influential figure within the association, known for his ability to provide solutions and guidance.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and all who knew him during this difficult time.

Further details regarding the memorial service and funeral arrangements will be shared in due course.

Thank you.
