@phiwa.the.long.vi: Umtata was the capital. There was a university, an airport with flights to Johannesburg, government departments and its own institutions. Then came uNjengele, Bantu Holomisa. In 1994, Transkei became part of the Eastern Cape. Former Transkeians, what do you remember working better then, and what is better now? I want the younger generation to hear from the people who lived it. #xhosanation #southafrica #zulutiktok #fyp #capetown

I grew up in transkei, i was very young but what i remember we were struggling a lot, poverty was on onother level, nowater no electricity, no employment. Abantu babe hamba nge join, kusetyenzwa kwi mines nese JHB. Sikhuliswa ngu Makhulu wayefumana indodla after months, we were very poor. That was the reason i went to school to change my family life🥺🥺 im greatful
