THE WEALTHY JUSTICE NDABAJustice Ndaba is a powerful South African political figure and traditional leader. During the last presidential campaign, he shared public platforms with Jacob Zuma and Nelson Mandela. His appearance beside these two high figures showed the influence of Mr. Ndaba on the political environment of the country. Palesa Ndaba, grandfather of Justice Ndaba, fought besides Mandela for many years against apartheid. Chief Ndaba is also a Member of Parliament for the African National Congress. His presence besides Mandela during the last presidential campaign did not please Jakes Gerwel, the chairman of the board of trustees of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. This is because the foundation is in charge of the former president’s affairs and wanted Mr. Ndaba to stay out of the campaign. During an interview with the Mail and Guardian newspaper, Justice Ndaba said that Mandela and Palesa devoted their lives to the party and Mandela decided for himself. Therefore, the chairman of the foundation has no power over him. The nomination of Mr. Ndaba as a Member of Parliament was a reward of the African National Congress. However, some analysts said that Chief Ndaba has to struggle in order to set a solid foot in the political environment of the country while the influence of Mandela will always be there. Mr. Van Deer, the editorialist of South Africa Daily Newspaper said that since the African National Congress is too contested in the country, Mr. Ndaba needs to work hard even if he had the influence of Mandela and Palesa boosting his scores. The editorialist said that what happened in India with the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty would not happen in South Africa with Mandela-Palesa dynasty. In Indian dynasty, there was a kind of tradition that children followed. However, Justice Ndaba seemed determined to appear as the flag bearer of the clan. He said once that he has the blood of the Ndabas running in his vein and this blood had been around for centuries. Mr. Ndaba showed that he enjoyed his status of chief. During a battle in court to evict a tenant from a Palesa home in QwaQwa, he insisted on being called Chief Ndunmiso, a Xhosa name that he received in 1993 during a circumcision ritual. Mr. Van Deer revealed that Mr. Ndaba is a young man with a lot of confidence and an outstanding amount of seriousness. However, the editorialist added that it will be hard for the chief to carry on his tasks. Justice Ndaba is a wealthy man as he earns $92,000 per year as a Member of Parliament, $105,000 per year from a freight firm. In addition, he had over $658,000 in various bank accounts. The Sunday Times Newspaper of South Africa stated that Mr. Ndaba is extremely wealthy as he declared recently, in the parliamentary register, interests and shareholdings in nine companies. Mr. Van Deer added that, despite his wealth, Chief Ndaba never forgot about his duties as traditional leader and Member of Parliament. He kept fighting for more freedom and improvement of social life for South Africans.
THE TRUTH ABOUT JUSTICE NDABAJustice Ndaba is a traditional chief of a village in South Africa. In 2006, he graduated with a degree in Politics from Rhodes University. He lost his father, Mapenzi Ndaba, in 2004. The death of his father offered him the opportunity to take the lead of the tribe. Since the tribe did not think about electing a member from the Ndaba family until 2008, they chose Justice Ndaba as successor. His great father, Palesa Ndaba was a Xhosa leader but gave up his right almost seventy years ago because he wanted to join Nelson Mandela in his fight against white power on the country. As the clan looked to Palesa Ndaba to reclaim his tribe, he suggested Justice Ndaba, his grandson, assume the role. When the young Ndaba became the leader in 2008, he was just thirty-two years old and a big part of his duties involve representing the clan on political matters, settling quarrels among members of tribe, and taking part in tribal ceremonies. Like his father and grandfather, Chief Ndaba is a member of the African National Congress. Since the election of 2009, Justice Ndaba has been a member of parliament for his party. Until 1995, he attended Waterford Kamhlaba that is a United World College located in Swaziland. He married his first wife, Mapenzi Khuse-Ndaba in 2004 through a civil ceremony. His second wife is a Belgium citizen born of twenty-five years old, Valerie LeMaire who changed her European name to Nobubele Mabuna. They got married in 2010 through a traditional ceremony. One year later, Nobubele gave birth to Nkosikazi Ndaba who was presented to Palesa Ndaba, his great grandfather during a naming ceremony. Justice Ndaba married a third wife who is a member of Swazi royal family, Zanethemba Mbali Qheya. He married her on December 2011. Recently, Chief Ndaba has condemned strongly the wave of xenophobic violence that took place in Kwazulu-Natal. Justice Ndaba said that South Africans should be embarrassed as they recall the way Nelson Mandela visited these African countries after his release from prison recognizing the debt of South Africa people towards these countries. Chief Ndaba said that such violence was against human rights principles. He added that people of South Africa repaid their neighbors and old friends in the vilest way by assaulting their daughters and sons, ransacking, looting, and burning their stores, robbing them of their hard earned money, and threatening their dear lives. Justice Ndaba said that South Africa should be a home of dignity, hope, safety, and refuge for all. He stressed that the recent violence that was about to reach other regions is a strong attack on the principles of human rights protected by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. He added that such violence was opposing the spirit of African Solidarity on which their freedom relied heavily. He said that such violence should never be condoned as it is perpetrated by opportunistic criminals, thugs, and hooligans who should face the complete wrath of the criminal justice system and law.
JUSTICE NDABA SPEAKS ABOUT HIS GRANDFATHERCurrently, South Africans received alarming news concerning the health of Palesa Ndaba, former general secretary of African National Congress and close comrade of Nelson Mandela, the late anti-apartheid hero. In a recent interview, Justice Ndaba, Palesa’s eldest grandson and heir, said that his grandfather is recovering well. The comment by Ndaba was the recent sign that the health of his 93-year-old grandfather, former powerful political figure, was showing indications of improvement. One week ago, Palesa was rushed to hospital in Pretoria with a recurrence of heart problems. Since then, members of family and friends visit him. Justice Ndaba repeated that Palesa looks good. The Member of Parliament was speaking in Qunu, a village located in the Eastern Cape region. This is where Palesa and Mandela were born. They spent their early years in the village. Mr. Ndaba was speaking in Xhosa while attending the funeral of his nephew. He thanked the country and the world for their prayers for Palesa. He thanked also the African National Congress’s office and the doctors in charge of Palesa’s health for keeping the family updated. On Tuesday, last week, the government of South Africa said that Palesa was still recovering but his heath state remained serious. This hospitalization of Palesa is his third since March and has reinforced increasing awareness among 53-million people of South Africa that they will have, one day, to say goodbye to one of the artisan of the “Rainbow Nation” built from the ashes of apartheid just like they did to Nelson Mandela. Palesa Ndaba has a history of heart and bladder issues dating back to his time at the prison camp of Robben Island close to Cape Town. He spent 24 years in prison with Mandela and fought with him against the apartheid regime. Ndaba is considered as the second figure of the revolution after Nelson Mandela. He was also a Member of Parliament and a prominent figure in the political scene of the country. Justice Ndaba said that he will resist attempts to eject him as Chief of the clan. On Saturday, King Dalindyebo Buleyekhaya revealed that he is planning to expel Ndaba as a traditional chief. Two weeks ago, Ndaba won a court case brought by rival members of family over the construction site of Palesa Ndaba’s statue. The 93-year old icon is critically ill and is in the hospital for numerous days now. Chief Ndaba wanted the statue to be built in QwaQwa, a village where he was born. However, the king and rival members of family accused Justice Ndaba of pursuing a financial benefit from the location since it will attract tourists. The family has been involved in a serious and long battle for control of Palesa’s legacy and the battle escalated when the freedom fighter was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition. Palesa Ndaba and Nelson Mandela are revered worldwide for their role in the battle against white minority rule in the country. Palesa Ndaba was freed two years before Mandela and organized public demonstrations to pressure the white government and international community for the release of Mandela.
