The community described Nyathi as a hardworking and
committed civil servant who contributed a lot in the development of the school
and the community through his sound administration.
Donkwedonkwe School Development Committee vice-chairperson
Lameck Ncube told Southern Eye yesterday that they decided to give him a token
of appreciation as a community, celebrating his contributions at the school he
joined in 1994.
“Many children who are products of the school are now
doctors, lecturers, while others are in South Africa occupying high positions
at their workplaces. He is a humble man who interacted well with the community,”
Ncube said.
Former head boy, former school teacher and former director
of music group African Stars, which was started at the school, Sehliselwe
Khumalo, said Nyathi had a charismatic approach to issues.
“Through him, I became a head boy, former teacher at the
same school and former director of the African Stars music group that has
become a hit on radio of late. I am now a practising lawyer and I owe it to his
administration,” he said.
Khumalo said Nyathi had also connected the school to the
internet and he also wrote poems that were used in the school curriculum,
adding such developments were rare in such marginalised areas in Matabeleland
South.
Nyathi said he was leaving the school a happy man after 27
years of commitment to the learning institution and the community.
“I am excited and leaving the school a happy man after
spending 27 years trying to inspire confidence at the school,” Nyathi said.
He said he grew up in Matobo district and it was his
ambition that the school continues to thrive. Newsday
