Amanda, Kwandile and Mandisa Madondo
The KwaZulu-Natal Archives and Records Service Oral History Unit made history by recording the story of the Madondo triplets-Amanda, Kwandile, and Mandisa-from KwaNyuswa. The recording, held in Kloof, documented the lives of these siblings, born in 1996, who received early support from South African poet Mzwakhe Mbuli through donations of milk and other essentials.
The triplets faced numerous hardships throughout their lives. They lost their brother, Mduduzi, in 2003, their father, Zenzele, in 2007, and their eldest sister, Bongiwe, in 2018. Tragedy struck again on the morning of Bongiwe's funeral with the passing of their mother. Bongiwe left behind a seven-year-old son and a one-month-old daughter.
Through these challenges, the triplets found strength in their paternal grandmother, MaDubazane, who became their steadfast support. Nearing her centenary, she served as their rock and guiding figure.
With only matric certificates, the triplets survived by taking on piecemeal jobs while nurturing aspirations for tertiary education. Their older sister, Thandeka, remained the only one with stable employment. Despite the overwhelming tribulations of their past, the triplets carried forward with gratitude, courage, and hope for a better future.

    Uma kusazokwenzeka. Bengifisa ukwazi kobaba, ukuthi: 1. Isigodi sasEMasangazana, kwenzeka kanjani sagcina se sibuswa yiNkosi yakwaBhidla, iNkosi yakwaDlamini? Kuthiwa kwabakhona izimpi phakathi kwesigodi esasingaphani kukaBhidla nesaseMasangazana kwafa abantu, abanye bafuduka baya eSkoph, isiGodi saseMasangazana saphetha ngaphansi kombuso wakwaBhidla. Ngicela ukulandiswa kabanzi ngalokho. 2. OBaba ke bethi qephu, okungenani, ngeNyanga uPhiyose Ngcobo, eyayikade iyiNduna yeNkosi uLangalakhe eMasangazana. 3. Kunomlando othi inkosi yakwaMafunze yabekwa nguFodo waseNhlangwini, baningi abakushoyo lokho. Uma kungesilo iqiniso, pho kuqhamuka phi?

    I did Ops Askari with 201 BN…. Bushmen, ops driver with Romeo Mike. Had our B52 radio shot out in the back of thec Buffel hanging on the roll bar. I short circuited the Buffel batteries and soldered the wires back on the hand piece. A week later we had the Moggel engine shot out by an RPG7 while bogged in a Shona. We got a replacement engine delivered by a Puma and 1 Tiffie to help us. Being a diesel mech myself, we changed the engine in 6 hours and got going towards Mupa for supplies. What a blessing Mupa was, lovely river, fresh water, washing and re supply before heading off to the East of Cuvelai. LT De Jager and Cpl Ottogalli from 201 BN can confirm this, no BS

In a way, I owe my existence to to guys like this, They fought the battles we never knew about at the time. I know it is a cliché, but the words Brothers in Arms best describes these unique individuals that made such a big difference in so many lives outside their own circle of brotherhood.
