RIP King Makhosoke II

Statement by Geordin Hill-Lewis – Leader of the Democratic Alliance:

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing of His Majesty King Makhosoke II of the AmaNdebele nation.

We send our sincere condolences to his family, and the Royal Kingdom of AmaNdebele.

The DA leadership over the next coming few days will be making arrangements to visit to pay our respects and condolences.

King Makhosoke II worked to raise the profile and esteem of education, and of the isiNdebele language. He facilitated and created platforms for university students to study and develop isiNdebele.

He will be remembered for his humanitarian work in support of the most vulnerable and school children.

Until his passing King Makhosoke II was the inaugural Chairperson of the SA Kings Forum, a co-ordinating body supported by the Department of Coorperative Governance and Traditional Affairs.

  1. A baby was born in South Africa. The village was very poor, and the makeshift hospital didn\’t have some necessary equipment.. such as scales.

    The father however, was desperate to know the newborn baby\’s weight. After quite a bit of asking around, the hospital\’s chairman came up with an idea.

    \”Five miles west, there\’s a butcher shop. The owner deals with meat, he should have a rather precise scale. You could just put your baby on the meat scale, and the weight reading you\’ll get should be pretty accurate.\”

    And so the father departed westward. After much walking, with his newborn child cardled safely in his arms, he finally arrived at the butcher shop. He explained his dilemma to the shop owner, to witch the latter replied:

    \”Don\’t worry, friend. It\’s not even a problem, I\’ll check it for you, free of charge.\” And so he took the child to the back, where the scale was located.

    The father heard rumbling noises, and some scraping.. About a minute later the butcher came back.

    \”About three pounds boneless\” He said.
