Mhlawumbe eminyakeni eminingi ezayo ilapho noqala khona uku-apreciata ubukhulu bomsebenzi wenu.

Engingakwazi ukuthi ufunani emlandweni wakithi uze ungithole nje? This confirms my statement above about the magnitude of the impact of Stanleys and Maswidis work. Ngisho abantu abangebona abasemaMbatheni regularly visit our website for knowledge. This is a compliment Ntombi not a complaint. Praise be to these founding members of amambatha Heritafe Society, who will certainly go down in history as the heroes amaqhawe omlando wamaMbatha.Imina uGxobthuvi inkunzi yengulube abathi kayingeni ediphini eMnambithi ngoba kayinampondo.

This has, by and large, been driven by the impetus created by the well-researched information and knowledge, as well as the enthusiasm of individual members, both man and women, young and old, frantically searching for their true identity within amaMbatha Nation.In order to sustain the growth of any brand and prevent it from stagnating and plateauing , some form of brand advertising, marketing and promotion is undertaken as strategic interventions. AmaMbatha Heritage as an analogous brand needs to proactively follow the same treatment at some stage. Our leadership needs to strategically evaluate the status of the AHS and its growth, analyse the emerging trends of new membership needs tying what AHS wants to what the new membership wants, or even review their mission.A few points to ponder when brainstorming this could be:1.Positioning for fundraising NPO profiling vs funding requirements, etc2.Positioning for growth expansion spreading AHS wings, assets and structures in Provinces3.Membership Economic empowerment NPO NGOs, Co-operatives, Trusts, Foundations, etc4.Institutional growth National, Provincial, Regional hegemony5.Value propositions Adopted resolutions and benefits to members6.National symbols logo, flags, uniform t-shirts berets, etc.08082014 at 1:24 pmPlease consider including in our long-term vision having AMAMBATHA Nation on a sustainable development pedestal surpassing all other minority nations in our Country. We must be able to use our individual God-given space and liverage our Mbatha national commonality to re-invigorate a new pride in our Mbatha nation. We have the intellect, the wisdom and the long-term vision by virtue of the space and the societal positions we occupy. God has given this to us for a purpose. We may not be able to do much about the plight of all the poor people of South Africa, BUT At least we can influence the direction in which the development history of our Mbatha nation, as it unfolds, is taking.We need young activists to run with this as a project or campaign, spice it up a bit with some empowerment programmes for sustainable development.Now that there is a new Ministry of Small Businesses and other offerings the new Government Administration is trying to use in redeeming itself from the past inadequacies, we must tap on the existing Government support programmes for NPOs, SMMEs, Co-operatives, Trusts, etc, We are represented in every sector of Government structures and Public Agencies.Amambathaakhonakuyoyonkeimikhakha. All we need is a unifying theme and a rallying call to launch a successful campaign that might result in a sustainable empowerment platform for theShandu new generation, if you like. OR even use the old AMABUTHIO strategy to align it to Rural systems, e.g. Dlekezela Regiment, Sotshikazi Regiment, Mthiya Regiment, etc. for different areasfor maximal impact. and so on and so forts.08082014 at 1:37 pmAMAMBATHA NATION AS A BRAND: In order to promote and develop our Nation kunazozonkeezinyeizizwanaezikhonaeSouth Africa, e.g. amaSulumane, Somalies, Nigerians, Ngcobos, Madlandunas, Nxamalalas, Bafokengs, etc. kumelesakhelephezukobuzwebethu as amaMbatha, sibenobunye, bese sizithuthukisethinamsalofu.
