Nkosi Ntsikayezwe Sigcau

"The Law of Commoners and Kings: Narratives of a Rural Transkei Magistrate, page 58" According to a book Mandela's Kinsmen, Jacana Media (ltd), 2014, p53 Timothy Gibbs says "It was clear that Nkosi Ntsikayezwe was one of the handful of young Mpondo Royals who was involved in radical political circles even making informal links with the ANC.

Nkosi Ntsikayezwe Sigcau exhibited in all his life the legacy that was left by his forefathers, the Great Pondo Kings, as he always reflected a strong leadership capacity, bravery and sense of identity.

He dedicated his life to ensuring that African people are freed from mental slavery, poverty, colonisation, of the mind and any form of oppression.

In 2012, the ANC honoured his legacy and his role in the liberation struggle by taking the centenary touch to his homestead, Lwandlolubomvu, Matshona Village, Ntabankulu, where a wreath was laid on his grave.

He was also honoured posthumously during the Pondo Culture and Heritage Festival with the first King Faku Award for his bravery and the sacrifices he made during the struggle for liberation and contribution in building a sustainable South African nation.
