Vivian Reddy Hands Over Title Deeds to Survivors of 1987 Kwamakhuta Massacre DURBAN -- Thirty-three years after 13 of their loved ones were gunned down in one of the most violent shootings in KwaZulu-Natal, the Ntuli family has received the title deeds to their brand-new home. Philanthropist and businessman Vivian Reddy this week handed over the title deeds of a home to 76-year-old Ethel Ntuli, The Daily News reported November 6. Ntuli and her family, who survived the ordeal, were left destitute and fearing for their lives after their time at a safe house had come to an end. Reddy assisted the family by purchasing a five-bedroom home. Last week, he handed over the title deeds to the family. "Baba Reddy, I bless your mother and her womb that gave birth to you. You are God's gift to mankind, He blessed you to be a blessing to so many. You didn't have to, for you didn't even know us, yet on hearing of our plight came to our aid," Ethel Ntuli said. Reddy was humbled by Ntuli's remarks and said such acts of philanthropy over the past three decades is what gives him purpose in life. "A rich man is poor if they do not share their wealth no matter how little to uplift the less fortunate," Reddy added. Ntuli recounted that dreadful day that sent shockwaves throughout the world as the brutality of the apartheid forces was exposed. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the warrant of arrest that was served on former Defense Minister Magnus Malan and top apartheid generals in connection with the massacre. According to sahistory.org, January 21,1987, several men armed with AK47 assault rifles killed 13 people, including seven children, in a house in KwaMakhutha. At the time Archie Gumede, a United Democratic Front (UDF) leader, claimed that the attack had been aimed at Victor Ntuli, the 21-year-old founder, treasurer and area organizer of the Kwamakhutha Youth League (KYL). He was not home at the time. The KYL was affiliated to the UDF, a leading liberation organization at the time. During this period the IFP feared a loss of support, and the violence of vigilante IFP attacks increased. According to the UDF, Ntuli had been the earlier target of an unsuccessful attack by people he had identified as IFP members. WI

With Barbados’ male population being depleted by gun violence, the country can ill afford losing more to same sex unions. This is one other argument, religious leader Paul Leacock is using, against Government’s proposal to legally recognize same sex unions in Barbados. Speaking to members of the media on Saturday, November 7, on the sidelines at the Family-Faith-Freedom Barbados 4th March and Rally, pastor Leacock maintained that making this move would bring about psychological, economical and sociological difficulties in Barbados. “We cannot compromise the health of our nation with what we have seen as a result of same sex civil unions in other jurisdictions,” Pastor Leacock said. “We cannot afford to lose more men. We are seeing our men murdered in the streets. This parish [St Philip] has the most murders in the country. We are losing young men to murder. We are losing young men to anti-social behavior. Therefore, we can do no more to undermine the integrity, responsibility, accountability and the role of men in our society.” He added, ““And therefore, same-sex civil unions feminizes our men, masculinizing our women, and we do not think that that is sustainable and productive for this country. Therefore, from the west where we began, to St George Central, to Bridgetown where we were last week, here in St Philip in the east, we are declaring that Government needs to rescind their orders, their laws and step back from those intentions because it will not be beneficial to Barbados, it will be detrimental.” WI
