New building to honour the young Mulweli

 

News - Date: 31 March 2006

An administration block to the value of R50 000 in honour of the late Mulweli Nemdandila (7) will be built at Manamani Primary School, where the deceased was a learner. Construction will start soon. Donated by Try Developers, the block will serve as a reminder of the young suspected ritual murder victim, buried on Sunday. Manamanai Primary School has 591 learners and it offers tuition from Grade 1 to 7. The Managing Director of Try Developers, Mr Lazurus Mathivha, said he decided to donate the building to show that his business is committing itself to the war against ritual murder and child abuse. He said the building will be engraved with the words “Mulweli Nemadandila Memorial”, upon completion. “The building will comprise two offices and a staff room. We seriously want to express that what happened to the little boy also affects us. The building will be there for life and this means that the name of Mulweli Nemadandila will never be forgotten…” Mathivha further advised other businessmen to refrain from ritual murder. “Human flesh does not help your business to prosper. Correct research, customer care and enough stock will make your business bigger.” The school principal, Nkhumeleni Tshivhengwa, thanked Try Developers for doing something that will make sure that Mulweli’s name lives forever. “The administration block will be a symbol even to the future generations that Mulweli was once a member of our family in this school. Although we could not come to terms with his death, the memorial building will go down in the history books of our country. The young boy died a painful death and we are thankful that there are businesspeople like Mathivha who felt that something had to be done to honour the little boy.” * Try Developers has in the past built countless houses for the poor in the province and made several donations to the needy. The company has also built a community clinic at Malonga, in Vuwani.
