Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays

By Moses Ka Moyo

The Friends of the Inner-City Forum wishes all Inner-city Residents and Property owners a joyful, peaceful and productive festive season. We hope that all residents will enjoy a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

All Inner-city Residents are called upon to stop the abuse of alcohol, drugs and substances. Those who have sex should do so with protection and those who drive cars should not drive under the influence of alcohol. Speed kills and all should drive awake.

Residents who are going away on holiday are urged to pay their rentals and levies before they embark on their destinations, this will help all of us to continue in year 2010 creating harmonious relations with landlords and in serious pursuit of a “better inner-city”

Those not going away on holiday must remain vigilant and jealously guard their community from vandals that will seek to wreck our community in the name of new-year’s eve,

Friends of the inner-city forum remains committed to building a "better inner-city"

Happy Holidays

MESSAGE OF THE FRIENDS OF THE INNER-CITY FORUM AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE OF COMRADE ELSIE NKOSI


By Moses Ka Moyo

Nkosi family and relatives,
The Leadership of ANC,
The Leadership of our congress movement, and
All other protocols are being observed.
Lastly everyone present today.

It is hard to find words to express how devastated we are at the tragic loss of our dear Comrade Elsie. All of us in the Friends of the Inner-city Forum have lost not only a EXCO Member and a great Community’ leader, but also a beloved personal friend.

Today is the time to mourn and remember. But Elsie would have been the first to insist that we must not allow our grief to divert us from our historic mission to struggle for a better inner City-where residents are safe and treated with respect.
Since that fateful day when I was called about your untimely departure I have hardly spent a day without thinking about our telephone discussions. I will always remember the introductions to these conservations - "Where is the Residents' Chairperson, why have you not called me?"

Cde Elsie we will miss you protecting me and Jack every moment. We will miss you telling your friends about how great the Friends of the Inner-city Forum is, to everyone who cared to listen. We will miss the religious examples you always gave in our EXCO meetings. We will miss your being Elsie Nkosi .




To Basswood Residents, ANC Cadres and Inner City Residents, There are many ways in which we can and will commemorate the life of Elsie Nkosi, but as always the best memorial to a fallen comrade is to pick up her spear, and continue the work to which she dedicated her life.

Cde James Friends of the Inner-city Forum wishes you strength during this difficult time.

We thank the Nkosi Family, Cde James, Ward 63 ANC branch and its visionary leadership in allowing us to do a joint memorial service for our Beloved Cadre.
Cde Elsie We will not allow you to die, for your ideals live on.
Robala ka khotso comrade Elsie, Hamba Kahle, comrade Elsie
