The Eastern Cape economic development MEC, Oscar Mabuyane, handed proof of ownership letters to Zithulele township families on Wednesday. Ownership of the township has since been transferred to the Mnquma Local Municipality, which will in turn manage the finalisation of the title deeds for the beneficiaries.

“My husband would have been delighted. This is what he worked for all of his life. He would have wanted to be here to witness his dreams come true before leaving us,” said Tomi.Seventy-four-year-old Mirriam Mtebele, also a beneficiary, was in her 20s when she arrived at Zithulele. Mtebele said she had moved from the town of Ngqamakhwe to work at Butterworth’s industrial park.
