Live Mabeqa News Today

Tourists and local visitors to the Mthatha Dam can now add kayaking on their fun lists. This after the OR Tambo District Municipality on Monday donated six new kayaks to young Mthatha entrepreneur Live Mabeqa as part of its support to small businesses involved in the tourism sector. In 2022, the Dispatch reported that Mabeqa, now 32, had started his own Mthatha Dam Safari Boat Cruise service.

The roast of Dr Mthembeni Tebelele and Mafa Bavuma was a riotous affair on Saturday, sending the nearly 200 people present into fits of laughter, courtesy of a panel of comedians from the Eastern Cape.

When Live Mabeqa took a bold decision to sell his prized VW Jetta 5 in 2016 to buy a small speedboat for R84,000, he just wanted to have fun with his friends at the Mthatha Dam, especially on weekends. Mabeqa, 30, who originally hails from Dikeni (formerly Alice), had no idea he would be running his own pontoon boat cruise venture a few years down the line.
