The next family gathering will be held on the 14th July 2012 at Ngqeleni in the Eastern Cape. This is where the Mbotho Family Trust document will be discussed and finalised.

All members of the Mbotho Clan are encouraged to attend this gathering to make sure that it is a success. For more information you can have a look at the minutes of the two previous gatherings in Zimbane, Umtata and Harding, KZN.

 

The organisers are encouraged to design t-shirts for this gathering as it was done for the gathering in Harding, KZN. The current Mbotho emblem can be used to make these t-shirts
