The project started on Wednesday 24 January and is expected to be completed at the end of February. Some of those honoured are Ephraim Nyongwana, Ndlela Mavungavunga, Thembisile Madyibi, Charmain Plummer, Nofezile Mjikelo, Archie Diniso and Nkosiphendulo &nbsp;Ngundze.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward Councillor Xolani Diniso described the project as part of celebrating their heritage. He said drawings are going to uplift the image of the hostels and they felt there was a need to celebrate these legends while they are still alive instead of after their death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t&nbsp;want to honour leaders coming from other areas or political&nbsp;leaders. We want to celebrate our people. People that we can relate to or know. This is part of our history,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso emphasised that all the people that are selected played pivotal roles in the development of the community. He said some of them were influential during the struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Custom\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_aa4d0106\">\n<div class=\"custom\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"429\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCityVisionOnline%2Fvideos%2F2116617235367319%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople like Nofezile Mjikelo were very influential during the apartheid era. She was among the women who fought against the apartheid regime to fight for women and children to come to hostels. Remember, hostels were built for men working in construction around&nbsp;Lwandle. At that time women and children were not allowed. If a child wants to see or visit his father they have to make an appointment seven days before and they will see his or her father for only two hours,\u201d explained Diniso.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the legends, Ngundze said he was excited about the honour. However, he stated that it was not about him as an individual but as a collective leadership that he was working with. \u201cOur objective was simple to fight for a change. We were fighting for the betterment of our living conditions. We wanted hostels to be transformed into family homes. We were not fighting for our self-enrichment,\u201d said Ngundze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He expressed concern about the state of current leadership.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining how the artists were selected,, Diniso said the museum had opened for applications for local artists and only two were selected.&nbsp; &nbsp;One of the local artists Wellington Myona described his involvement in the project as a dream come true. He said he didn\u2019t take his participation lightly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a history in the making. I\u2019m happy to be&nbsp;part of history because these paintings are going to stay here for years. It is going to be a good example for our future generation,\u201d said Myona.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to celebrate living legends,
