It was held at the Emjindini Royal Kraal, under the chieftaincy of Kenneth Nkosi.
The ummemo started in the first week of September and concluded on Sunday.
It was attended by people from as far afield as Swaziland, and chiefs from all over the province.

Traditional dances and food were the order of the day.
Eight cows was slaughtered for the people to feast on during the month-long event.
Nkosi thanked all the people who supported and attended the event.

He further encouraged parents to educate their children about their heritage.
“Our youth are dying of alcohol. Most parents don’t teach their children to behave well. In such events, we expect to see more youth attending but it is different. Most people present here are the elderly. Where is the youth? They need to know about their culture and heritage,” said Nkosi.

He thanked the government for building RDP houses for the residents of Emjindini Trust.
Nkosi pleaded with officials to provide clean water to the residents, as being without would cause conflict in future.
“The amalgamation with Mbombela stresses the local residents a lot. When negotiation for the merger started, we were promised that everything will be fine. Now we are experiencing the shortage of water and sometimes they supply red water,” said Nkosi.
