text: Imidlalo yomnyazi ezikolweni ikwelinye inqanaba. Kwinyanga ezayo izikolo zeMpuma Koloni ziza kudibana eMonti – apho kulindeleke ukuba kuqhawuke unobathana.  
  Izikolo zaseMathole ziya kwimidlalo yephondo ngomhla wethoba kwinyanga ezayo zizithembile kakhulu emva kokuvan’ amandla.  
  Kwiveki ephelileyo amaqela omnyazi ebedibene eWalter Sisulu University eGcuwa – apho ahluzene khona phambi kokushiyeka kwamane aya eMonti.  
  Abadlali bamaqela onke babonise izakhono zabo zokudlala ibhola, udlamko olukhulu; ibhola ibijulwa futhi ihamba ngesantya esiphezulu. 
  Umdlalo wezikolo zonke ubuncomeka, kangangokuba bekunzima nokubona ukuba kudlala abantwana abaphuma kwizikolo ezingenazo iindawo zokuzilolonga ezisemgangathweni.  
  Usihlalo wombutho wezikolo zaseMathole, umam’ uNocawe Dlephu, uyincomile kakhulu indlela izikolo ezidlale ngayo nendlela abaziphethe ngayo abantwana. 
   “Abantwana bethu badlale kakuhle, umgangatho ubuphakamile. Nangona kunjalo, kusafuneka abaqeqeshi balungiselele umgangatho ophezulu njengokuba sisiya kwimidlalo yephondo. Thina singaMathole sihamba phambili oko. Siba ngoompondozihlanjiwe thina emidlalweni. Ndiqinisekile siza kubuya nodumo,” utshilo uDlephu. 
  Ukhona umdla wokudlala ibhola yomnyazi ebantwaneni, kootitshala kwaye nezikolo ziyazama ukuncedisa abantwana – kodwa kuyabonakala ukuba ukungabikho kwenkxaso kwicala lezezimali kuyawuqhwalelisa lo mdlalo.  
  UDlephu uxelele I’solezwe lesiXhosa ukuba iSebe lezeMfundo (eMpuma Koloni) livele libaxelele ukuba imidlalo luxanduva lwezikolo – lona alingeni ndawo. Izikolo eziza kumela Amathole yiJojweni, iDaluxolo, iLangalethu neZwelidumile. 
  “Into esisokolisayo kwibhola yomnyazi kukungakhathalelwa. Akukho nkxaso siyifumanayo. Utitshala onomdla uphetha ekhupha kuye ngoba kaloku kwalapha ezikolweni imali yokuya phambili ayikho. Kuye kuthiwe isebe lezemfundo linegalelo emidlalweni – kodwa kunzima ukuyibona into eliyenzayo. Livele lithi uxanduva lolwesikolo, ngakumbi kule midlalo yethu. Kule midlalo yephondo esiya kuyo, isikolo siza kuzisela abantwana baso. Uyabetheka ke ngoku umntwana xa isikolo singakwazi ukuya phambili ngenxa yemali sibe siphumelele. Uthezeka amandla naye umqeqeshi kwelinye icala,” uvale ngaloo mazwi uDlephu.
