- Ingqayi idalula impi enzima ngesihlalo sobukhosi sika-Modjadji Rain Queen uNomkhubulwane.
- Umenzi wengqayi uthi ‘ngumklamo wakhe wefa’ ngemva kweminyaka engu-11 yomsebenzi.
Ingwayi yasebukhosini eqhubekayo yozalo lwaka-Modjadji isizobukwa kumabonakude.
Ingqayi ebilindelwe ngabomvu i-6 Kings and-6 Queens izokhonjiswa okokuqala eSter-Kinekor, eMall of the North ePolokwane ngoLwesihlanu.
Lengqayi yemizuzu engama-92, ekhiqizwe umdidiyeli wengqayi owawina imiklomelo uMolatelo Maenetja Bossman, ihlola impi eshubile yokulandelana ebukhosini baseBolobedu – indlu yasebukhosini eholwa abesifazane iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-200.
UMolatelo kumthathe iminyaka engu-11 ukuqeda lengqayi. Uthi lo ngumsebenzi wakhe aziqhenya kakhulu ngawo okwamanje.
“Lengqayi ngiyibiza ngokuthi ‘ngumklamo wefa’ lami ngoba bengihlale ngithi kufanele ngenze ingqayi ekhuluma ngobukhosi bakwa-Modjadji. Ngivela eBolobedu, futhi ngangazi ukuthi ngizoyinikeza okuhlukile kunabantu bangaphandle,” kusho yena.
Lengwayi ikhuluma ngombango wezikhundla oshubile phakathi kweNdlovukazi uMasalanabo Modjadji nomfowabo unkosana uLekukela Modjadji.
UMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa usanda kuhlonipha iNdlovukazi uMasalanabo njengendlovukazi yesikhombisa efanele kodwa umndeni wasebukhosini kanye nomkhandlu usumemezele uNkosana uLekukela njengenkosi elandelayo.
Okwenza lokhu kube kubi kakhulu ukuzibandakanya kommeli owaziwayo nongusopolitiki uDkt Mathole Motshekga.
Umndeni wasebukhosini umsola ngokubambelela endlovukazini encane ukuze alawule isihlalo sobukhosi.
Bathi usebenzise amacala asenkantolo ukuvimba igunya labo, bethi wathatha indlovukazi ngemuva kokushona kukanina, iNdlovukazi yemvula uNomkhubulwane uMakobo Modjadji VI ngo-2005 ngesikhathi uMasalanabo enezinyanga ezinhlanu nje ubudala.
Kodwa uMotshekga usamile kwelokuthi wakwenza ngenxa yokukhathazeka, ethi umndeni wawungamnakile futhi wamkhulisa ngenxa yothando nomsebenzi.
Lengqayi ihlanganisa iminyaka yezithombe, okuhlanganisa izimpi zasenkantolo, imicimbi yokuthweswa iziqu kanye namasiko okunethiswa kwemvula.
Kufika ngesikhathi lapho izimpikiswano ngobukhosi bukaModjadji zishuba- ebukhosini nasezweni lonke.
