when I add text above the above the TOC, it then  displays the first

If you search for Please define in the cls file, you'll find the

you haven't defined certain of the things you need to print the title 
page properly.


If you search for "Please define" in the cls file, you'll find the 
commands you need. You can put these in the preamble, e.g.:

\SetFullName{Shylock Muyengwa}
\SetThesisType{Dissertation}{
Etc.

The "LyX way" to do it would be to add these to the layout file. Things 
like this will work:


Style FullName
LaTeXType command
LaTeXName SetFullName
LabelType static
LabelString "Full Name:"
LabelSep x
Margin First_Dynamic
InTitle 1
Category FrontMatter
End

Style ThesisType
CopyStyle FullName
LaTeXName SetThesisType
LabelString "ThesisType:"
End

and so forth for the other commands you need.
