Nelson Mandela Bay will boast four names on the honour roll when president Cyril Ramaphosa bestows the country’s highest awards, the National Orders, on deserving individuals next week.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, creator of multi-award-winning soapie 'Generations' Mfundi Vundla, Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis and US songwriter and singer Tracy Chapman are among the recipients who will have National Orders bestowed on them by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Forty years since he was murdered and his body burnt while his killers guzzled beer nearby, Gqeberha Umkhonto weSizwe stalwart Sizwe Kondile will in November be awarded the Order of Mendi for Bravery in gold.
