My mother’s father is Mbhodlokazi Makhanya and her mother was Nokukhanya Majola. Nokukhanya’s children are Duduzile, Dadiza, Ntombenhle and Jabulani. My grandmother met with my grandfather when they were both working at Durban Port. They dated for two years and got married in the third year on the 22 of February 1964.
Their first born Ntombenhle got married at the age of 18 with Skhumbuzo Mdlaza. The others didn’t get married but they have children. Dadiza have three children, Ntombenhle have four and Jabulani didn’t have any and he died at a young age and Duduzile have one.
