Disappointing: Emakhazeni Local Municipality has failed to acknowledge the two brave young men (Sthembiso Mathibela and Sizwe Mthimunye) who walked from Pretoria to Emakhazeni to raise funds Cancer Awareness and the fight against GBVF, despite the municipalities commitment in the 16 Days of Activism.
Sthembiso and Sizwe arrived in Emakhazeni yesterday and will walk from Belfast to end their walk in Dullstroom today (Saturday), where they will be welcomed by a crowd of cheerful residents who have donated anything from R20 and above towards the cause.
The local municipality remains mum on this achievement, some community members said they have tried to reach out to the office of the Executive Mayor Muhle Mashele with no luck. This has made some community members to raise funds on their own to organize a welcoming ceremony for the two brave heroes.
