More old age homes in subsidy struggle 

SIVENATHI GOSA 

TWO further old age homes 

in the Chris Hani district are 

reportedly facing a similar 

financial crisis to that of the 

John Vorster Old Age Home 

in Komani. 

The Rep reported (“Home 

struggles without subsidies”, 

July 7) that John Vorster Old 

Age Home was struggling to 

meet its obligations due to 

the non-payment of subsidies 

from the department of social 

development for the past 

three months. 

In an investigation by The 

Rep this week, it was found 

that the Callie Evens Lodge 

Old Age Home and 

Retirement Complex in 

Cathcart, and the Tarkastad 

Old Age Home are also in 

dire financial straits. Madeira 

Old Age Home in Komani did 

not respond to queries. 

Callie Evens is home to 43 

senior citizens and Tarkastad 

home to 28. 

Head of the Cathcart home, 

Pat Stocks, and administrator 

of the Tarka Home, Matt van 

Vuuren, confirmed they were 

waiting for the April, May and 

June payments from the 

depar tment. 

Stocks said the homes 

were told there were 

“scanning” problems which 

delayed the processing of the 

claim forms. 

“What exacerbates the 

situation is that there is no 

proactive communication to 

NGOs to explain the delay; 

what caused the problem and 

when payment can be 

expected. Being left in the 

dark makes it difficult to plan.” 

Van Vuuren said the 

Tarkastad home has space for 

78 people, but financial 

constraints limited the 

numbers to 28, with only 15 

residents getting subsidies. 

Stocks said the Callie 

Evens Lodge Old Age Home 

Pressing issues dealt with at council meeting 

SIMTEMBILE MGIDI 

CELLPHONE 

towers, the 

illegal 

o c c u p at i o n 

of land 

and tampering with 

electricity meters 

were some of the 

main issues raised 

in the Enoch 

Mgijima Local 

Municipalit y 

(EMLM) council 

meeting on 

We d n e s d ay. 

The EMLM used the 

meeting to issue a 

stern warning to people 

illegally occupying land 

that offenders would be 

dealt with. 

This follows after the 

illegal occupation of 

land in Ezibeleni, with 

the plots apparently 

handed out by 

unknown persons. 

In a council meeting 

yesterday, executive 

mayor Lindiwe Gunuza 

Nkwentsha said the 

had, since 2015, taken a 

decision to only admit 

residents that were able to 

afford full payment of the 

fe e s . 

“Our committee is focused 

on fundraising, and the 

community provides the 

home with events in order to 

do that. Local businesses are 

supportive, and individuals 

also make anonymous 

d o n at i o n s . ” 

Van Vuuren said the 

Tarkastad home was having 

difficulty in getting 

assistance from the 

community “but there are a 

few that do help. We need to 

cater for the pensioners’ 

needs by buying adult 

diapers, toiletries and 

meeting other basic needs.” 

Stocks said the department 

had informed them last year 

in Bhisho that the subsidy 

would be increased from 

R1 700 per resident to R2000 

in the new financial year. 

council “had never 

decided that any land 

must be given or be for 

sale in Ezibeleni. 

“Whoever gets land 

illegally, it will be taken 

(sic). Whoever puts up 

a shack it will be 

destroyed, that land 

will be taken and you 

will be arrested for 

doing that. There is no 

land that is ready to be 

put up for sale, we 

should find land and 

rezone it which will 

help us with increasing 

the rates.” 

The leasing of land 

should also be 

i n v e st i g at e d . 

The council approved 

recommendations that 

an amnesty period of 

two months be 

provided to persons 

who had tampered with 

pre-paid electricity 

meters on condition 

that the tampered 

meters be replaced at 

no charge and 

beneficiaries start 

paying for power with 

immediate effect. 

“This was taken into 

consideration when we 

planned our new budget; the 

failure to follow through on 

this has resulted in elderly 

residents having to fund the 

extra R300 per month. The 

subsidy and pension they 

receive only covers 44% of 

the actual cost for frail care, 

so this places the 

organisation under financial 

pressure.” 

The Rep has been in 

contact with the social 

development department in 

Komani since June 22 with 

questions sent through about 

the initial crisis as reported 

at the John Vorster Old Age 

Home. No response was 

received from either the 

Komani or provincial office. 

Contact was made again 

with the Komani office this 

week which indicated it was 

waiting for approval from 

province before comment 

could be made. 

The acting chief 

financial officer Estelle 

Tylali is set to work out 

the details of the 

proposed amnesty and 

report back to council. 

In a brief report 

had been tampered 

with yielded positive 

results, but council 

heard that municipal 

technicians were now 

being intimidated and 

prevented from 

The replacement of tampered 

meters would be coupled 

with a period of amnesty 

tabled before council, it 

was indicated EMLM 

was suffering “huge” 

electricity losses, mainly 

due to tampering with 

pre-paid meters. 

An earlier campaign 

to remove meters that 

action by the local 

authorit y. 

Good news for 

Komani residents 

would be the proposed 

placement of additional 

cellphone towers in 

Komani – in Factory 

Road, Livingstone Road 

and Drakensberg Road 

– by Client Star Towers. 

This would serve to 

accommodate the 

increase in cellphone 

users and users of data 

on smartphones. 

With the applications 

approved by the 

department of 

economic development, 

environmental a f fa i r s 

and tourism in terms of 

inspecting and/or 

removing meters. 

It was then decided 

that the replacement of 

tampered meters would 

be coupled with a 

period of amnesty

THE REPRESENTATIVE 21 July 2017 

Drugs and alcohol in the park 

More security needed 

in Memorial Gardens 


T 

HE Memorial Gardens in 

Komani, once a haven for 

families in which to relax 

and enjoy the scenic 

surroundings, is fast becoming 

a hangout spot where drugs and 

alcohol are being consumed. 

The gardens, located in 

Robinson Road in Komani, fall 

under the jurisdiction of the 

Enoch Mgijima Local 

Municipalit y. 

A member of the grounds 

staff, who wanted to remain 

anonymous, said a problem 

existed with young people who 

were drinking in the gardens 

over weekends, leaving the 

bottles behind and the facility in 

a general filthy state. 

“On Mondays, we have to 

clean their filth such as faeces 

and other disgusting things. I 

know I am a cleaner, but some 

things are outrageous and not 

good for our health.” 

He said a high fence and 

security should be provided to 

keep the facility cleaner and 

safer for the general public. 

“We do try to chase away the 

youngsters who smoke their 

drugs here but they are not 

always afraid of us.” 

A Westbourne man who did 

not want to be named was 

sitting on a bench in the park 

with two friends. 

He said people were being 

robbed while walking home 

from a tavern situated opposite 

the park. 

“We are drunk and 

defenceless and what else can 

we do as the youth? As a result, 

we become targets on the way 

home – the police should pull 

SAFETY CONCERN: The Memorial Gardens in Komani, once a 

place for families to relax, is fast becoming increasingly unsafe 

up their socks.” 

The youths agreed that more 

entertainment facilities should 

be provided to keep the youth 

busy and away from drugs. 

The Rep reporter observed a 

few groups smoking dagga in 

the park during the time of the 

interviews, which were shortly 

after 2pm last Thursday. 

The issue of safety in the park 

was raised with the Enoch 

Mgijima Local Municipality with 

spokesman Fundile Feketshane 

acknowledging there was a 

problem at the public gardens. 

He said a security guard, 

based at the gardens, had to be 

relocated to another area. 

“We have submitted a request 

PUFFING: Smoke wafts from the cigarette of a visitor to the 

Memorial Gardens in Komani 

Pictures: SIMTEMBILE MGIDI 

to our safety and security 

directorate for assistance before 

the close of the 2016/2017 

financial year and we are 

awaiting their response. As an 

interim intervention, our parks 

department has written to 

surrounding schools.” 

This was, he said, according 

to a municipal assessment that 

schoolchildren were perceived 

to be the ones using drugs in 

the area. 

“We will write another letter 

when the schools re-open to 

sensitise them about this 

problem and also engage the 

security cluster.” 

He said in 2014, a business 

plan was developed to fence the 

gardens but due to financial and 

budgetary constraints it could 

not be done. 

“ When we receive financial 

assistance as the parks 

department, we will definitely 

fence the park.” 

Go-ahead for 

more cell towers 

From page 1 

environmental appeal, 

the South African Civil 

Aviation Authority 

would also need to give 

a p p r o va l . 

The council indicated 

it would be a good idea 

for the towers to be 

placed on council 

property for revenue. 

The proposal and its 

recommendations on 

Land Use Scheme 

requirements and 

advertisement for 

objections were 

approved. 

A contentious issue 

under discussion was 

contractors, tasked with 

construction and 

patching of potholes, 

wanting more money 

during the project. 

Gunuza Nkwentsha 

said construction 

companies wanting 

more money than the 

initial quote should be 

held accountable and 

an inquiry made into 

the spending. 

Acting director of 

technical services 

Ayanda Gaji said 

requests of more than 

20% of the original 

amount were sent to 

the mayoral committee 

for approval. 

“However, when 

quotations are brought 

forward for a tender, it 

normally is based on 

the amount of money 

needed for the job to be 

completed which is 

based on research done 

at that moment.” 

DA councillor Zuko 

Mandile said while the 

time period since the 

quote had to be taken 

into account in terms of 

costs, some escalations 

were around 100%, 

which were 

unacceptable. 

The public and the 

media were then asked 

to leave the meeting for 

in-council discussions 

at about 1pm. By 

4.30pm, the meeting 

remained closed. 

It is however believed 

that the motion of no 

confidence in Gunuza 

Nkwentsha and council 

speaker Mzoxolo Peter, 

which have been raised 

by the DA and the 

United Front, were due 

to be discussed during 

the closed session. 

The outcome was not 

known. 

Women march against abuse 


THE plight of women and 

children who are being 

abused, were raised during a 

march by the Anglican Church 

of Southern Africa Mothers’ 

Union Diocese of Ukhahlamba, 

with different church members 

last Thursday. 

The women, accompanied 

by spiritual leaders of the 

Anglican Church, started the 

march from Philani Clinic to 

the Mlungisi police st at i o n . 

The women walked in 

silence with placards bearing 

messages slamming the 

actions of perpetrators and 

expressing support for victims. 

M ot h e r s ’ Union president 

Lindiwe Thabo said while the 

march was being carried out 

in silence, their actions and 

cries were going to be seen 

and heard. 

“This is the first time that 

we are having an event like 

this. It is also happening in the 

surrounding areas of Komani 

such as Whittlesea, Dordrecht 

and Cacadu. We are slowly 

losing our dignity as women 

and our children are being 

raped and killed mercilessly – 

enough is enough. Society is 

losing its humanity.” 

The M ot h e r s ’ Union handed 

over a memorandum, pleading 

with the police to protect the 

women and children of the 

community from the killings, 

raping and human trafficking. 

Other issues raised included 

drug dealing and use in 

schools, the disappearance of 

police dockets and complaints 

about suspects returning to 

communities. 

“We are praying for our 

community and country. We, as 

the M ot h e r s ’ Union, stand for a 

stable family life,” said Thabo. 

Acting station commander 

Lieutenant-Colonel Xolani Sali 

said the memorandum would 

be sent to Komani cluster

CHDM helps beneficiaries 

in honour of Mandela Day 


MADIBA DAY: From left, Enoch Mgijima Municipality technical services portfolio head Sibusiso 

Mvana, Enoch Mgijima executive mayor Lindiwe Gunuza, human settlements portfolio head Luleka 

Gubula, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Fikile Xasa and community services

Xasa calls for focus 

on development 

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA 

C 

OOPERATIVE Governance and 

Traditional Affairs (Cogta) 

MEC Fikile Xasa spent his 67 

minutes for Mandela Day doing 

gardening and painting at the 

Phumelela Special Care Centre in 

Ezibeleni on Tuesday. 

Addressing the Enoch Mgijima 

Local Municipality representatives 

at the event, he said the vision of 

municipalities focused on 

resources more than its people, 

neglecting that people were the 

real gold of communities. 

“Let us focus on human 

development and not only on 

economic development and 

agriculture. The gift of singing in 

this area has a story to tell. We 

should use it towards the 

development of this place.” 

He said the day’s purpose was to 

celebrate former President Nelson 

Mandela – respected by South 

Africans and the rest of the world. 

At the age of 90, Mandela had 

visited London for his birthday 

c e l e b r at i o n s . 

He had said at the time that it 

was not only a day to celebrate his 

birthday but a day that “should 

keep everyone busy doing 

something for the less fortunate”. 

“However there are people 

among us, who teach our children 

things that are unworthy, using 

Mandela’s name. When Mandela 

was arrested in Rivonia in 

Johannesburg he said, “I am 

fighting against white domination. I 

will equally fight against black 

domination. He was implying that 

he was fighting against the system 

and not the colour.” 

He said there were people, who 

preached hatred against whites in 

the name of Mandela, planting 

seeds of division, which was 

contrary to what the late statesman 

had stood for. 

“Mandela was preaching reconciliation 

and not hatred. It is bad 

when those at the top are the ones 

teaching the youth corrupt politics.” 

Xasa said the freedom charter 

stated that South Africa belonged 

to all who lived in it, black and 

white. 

He said there were thieves using 

their positions to steal money, and 

citizens would have to play a 

watchdog role. 

“They even want to call the ANC 

a black political party. Our vision 

states we want to build a 

non-racial, a non-sexist SA. That is 

why veterans of the ANC are angry 

because they can see we are 

destroying what they started.” 

Xasa said he was anti-Gupta and 

the people who were following 

them must not be allowed to divert 

the revolution of the country. 

He also stated his support for 

ANC deputy Cyril Ramaphosa for 

president. 

Phumelela principal Nobuntu 

Gulwa thanked the Cogta 

Community Workers Programme, 

CTM for donating clothes, blankets 

and groceries and Protea Spar for 

sponsoring cakes and groceries. 

CHILD-HEADED households, 

disabled people and child care 

centres were the main 

beneficiaries of a 67 Minutes 

for Mandela Day outreach by 

the Chris Hani District 

Municipality (CHDM) on 

Tu e s d ay. 

CHDM executive mayor 

Kholiswa Vimbayo, 

accompanied by a municipal 

delegation and Intsika Yethu 

Local Municipality mayor 

Jongumzi Cengani, visited two 

families and a child care centre 

in Cofimvaba and two families 

in Illinge. 

“We are honouring Madiba’s 

legacy by making the lives of 

the unfortunate better. He was 

a man who believed in peace 

and a better life for all. Instead 

of hosting luxurious expensive 

events and wasting money, we 

must give back to the 

communit y,” Vimbayo said. 

CHDM had chosen the 

beneficiaries based on their 

poor living conditions. 

Two families in Cofimvaba 

received new houses while the 

Fountain of Hope Child Care 

Centre in the same town 

received groceries and 

appliances. 

Nompucuko Njotini, 62, from 

Foti Mkhwanti Village, who is 

physically disabled, and 

Zikhona Frans, 24, from 

Qamata Village, who is the 

head of a family of three, 

received furnished houses with 

groceries from CHDM. 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Executive mayor of Chris Hani District 

Municipality Kholiswa Vimbayo, with executive mayor of 

Intsika Yethu Local Municipality Jongumzi Cengani, officially

International Nelson Mandela Day Picture: SIVENATHI GOSA 

For years, Frans and her 

family have been living in a 

disintegrating hut with the roof 

patched with plastic bags. 

The Fountain of Hope Child 

Care Centre provides shelter to 

25 children who are victims of 

abuse and neglect and was 

started five years ago with a 

vision of taking children off the 

st reets. 

“We all know how much 

Madiba loved children, so it is 

relevant for us to emulate his 

humanitarian work by donating 

to this centre,” Vimbayo said. 

The centre received a 

refrigerator, lounge suite, two 

wardrobes, microwave and 

groceries and R13000 to 

upgrade its security. 

CHDM was assisted by 

Qhumanco Tradings, Absa and 

Standard Bank with donations. 

Cengani thanked CHDM for 

the donation within the Intsika 

Yethu area, saying the 

municipality was focusing on 

helping disabled people living 

in 21 wards. 

Illinge resident John Sizani 

was promised a new house by 

the end of the month. 

The Rep reported (“Illinge 

man needs help repairs to his 

RDP house”, March 3 2017) 

about a man who lived in a 

dilapidated house for four 

years. 

“We saw the story in The Rep 

and we thought we should do 

something about this. For now 

Sizani is going to live in a 

temporary home while is new 

house is being built,” said 

V i m b ay o . 

KOMANIW E AT H E R

Family in dire need of help after fire 

A WHITTLESEA 

family is in 

shock after their 

house was gutted on 

S at u r d ay. 

The 10-roomed 

home was home to 

mother Xolelwa Solani 

and five children, 

aged between five 

and 18. 

Xolelwa was 

hospitalised after 

collapsing after the 

fire. 

The family had 

since moved into a 

two-roomed structure 

without a floor and is 

in dire need of food, 

blankets, mattresses 

and clothing. 

The KwaKomani 

Interact Club, of which 

one of the affected 

family members, 

Zizipho Solani, is a 

member, visited the 

family on Tuesday and 

is trying to raise 

awareness of the 

fa m i l y ’s desperate 

plight. 

Zizipho said the 

police had also visited 

the gutted remains of

TA R K A STA D – For the fourth year in 

a row, the Mark Master Masons of 

Mbabala Hunt Club have raised 

funds for Tarkastad Home for the 

Aged through hunting packages and 

raffles. This year, a record amount of 

R41 000 was raised, but the group 

believes they can exponentially 

increase the amount in years to 

come by making use of digital 

technology and the internet to sell 

raffles to an international market. 

While in Tarkastad, the hunters 

have made contributions to other 

worthy causes and supported local 

businesses. 

Jan Smit of Gonubie won the first 

prize (a kudu, a blesbuck, two 

springbuck, a ribbuck and two 

warthogs), Arthur Litchfield of 

Abbotsford the second prize (a 

blesbuck, a springbuck, two 

warthogs and a sheep) and Leon 

Stone from Komani the third prize (a 

sheep) at the draw at Kleinfontein 

on July 12. 

SPARROWS is hosting its annual 

Christmas in July event at the 

Tarkastad Sports Club on July 29 at 

7pm. This year the theme is 

“(K)night of 1000 Stars”, with 

supporters encouraged to dress in 

medieval wear. Tickets at R150 (R50 

for kids) and are available from the 

Sparrows office on (045)846-0052. 

The event will be a dinner with a 

cash bar, during which a fundraising 

auction will be held. Sparrows is a 

registered non-profit organisation 

and is able to issue tax deductible 

certificates (18A) for all donations. 

STERKSTROOM – Light 

snow fell throughout 

the district on Sunday 

with temperatures 

dropping to below 0°C 

during the day. 

NEWS of the roads in 

the district is that 

regravelling will take 

place on the road 

between Sterkstroom 

and Bailey. 

The last time the 

road was regravelled 

was nine years ago and 

roads remain damaged 

from heavy rain 

experienced during the

STUTTERHEIM – Last Wednesday, the 

“Merry Scholar” David Muller came to 

SADS in Stutterheim, straight from his 

stint at the National Arts Festival in 

Grahamstown, writes John Emery. 

“He has been with us before, giving 

us the Oom Schalk stories. – I missed 

the Imagining Einstein show – and the 

audience has appreciated his colourful 

story-telling. That night he spoke for an 

hour, in quite a different vein. 

“I have been to shows at the festival: I 

have heard a young woman from 

Johannesburg speaking candidly of her 

body and of relationships, and, while I 

was bemused at the time, I was left 

with no profound discovery. And I have 

heard for an hour a celebrated South 

African actress depicting the lives and 

problems of three generations of 

women which – owing to my deficiency 

– left me unrewarded. And so it is, that 

some of us can be moved by a string 

quartet, for example, and others by the 

singing of Ray Phiri. And I know that 

one man, coming out from this show, 

said ‘This meant nothing to me’. 

“This was a daring and sympathetic 

rendering of a Johannesburg man’s 

account of his dreadful upbringing – 

“my fourteenth school” – and his 

discoveries of becoming a stay-at-home 

caring dad. The story made an 

immediate engagement with a satiric 

account of this dad taking his child to 

school and countering the questions of 

the mothers. It had the ghastly humour 

of his wife’s statement, ‘I am late’. Then 

followed a story-line, depicting first the 

circumstances of the marriage to 

Christina and describing the love and 

difficulties of looking after Angus, their 

first-born. But then the tale tells of the 

deprivations and neglect of this man’s 

childhood and upbringing. 

“David Muller has adapted Bruce 

Clark’s book Love Sex Fleas God to a 

reading, capturing the pathos and 

humour of the original. I believe the 

circumstantial detail awaken 

recollections of personal happenings 

and frustrations. The tale reaches an 

unexpected epiphany in the man’s 

crying out: ‘I am Dad’. This is a triumph. 

“So, whereas the Johannesburg 

comedienne had left me cold, and 

whereas the celebrated South-African 

actress had left me bewildered, this 

tour de force left me with a shared 

sense of triumph.”

Slipping 

through 

our fingers 

A 

EDITORIAL 

OPINION 

FRIEND recently told me of a 

little girl who hangs around 

taverns in Mlungisi. She is 12 

years old and helps to look after 

her younger siblings. The thought 

of this child and her 

circumstances has haunted me 

ever since. 

Is she warm? Is she hungry? Is 

she scared? What are the chances 

that, considering the fact that she 

is in the company of adults in a 

place where alcohol is consumed, 

she is free from abuse or even 

rape? Where are the people who 

are supposed to keep her safe? 

I know, as you do, that this is 

not the only child facing dire 

circumstances in South Africa. 

They are all around us – the 

children living in the street and 

scratching through dustbins, the 

ones approaching cars for coins, 

the ones aimlessly walking the 

streets – often with bare feet – on 

cold winter’s mornings. 

Any parent who is raising a 

child with love and hope for a 

better future, would be horrified 

by the circumstances of this child 

and many, many more like her. 

We pin our hopes on 

organisations like a severely 

cash-strapped Child Welfare and 

an often overwhelmed social 

development department to assist 

these children. At times, children 

in dire circumstances are taken 

away from a home which is not 

conducive to their well-being and 

placed into foster homes. Ideal? 

Certainly not – what would be 

ideal would be the rehabilitation 

of an entire family who could then 

stay together but realistically this 

is not always a possibility. 

The concerns are also real that 

these children’s circumstances 

force them into lives not of their 

own choosing, lives which may 

result in criminal activity, drug 

abuse and prostitution. 

What is obvious is that, as 

adults, we have a collective and 

individual responsibility to help 

these children – by reporting their 

circumstances to structures able 

to make a difference, by trying to 

assist in meeting their needs by 

supporting the children and these 

structures and by promoting 

compassionate interventions to 

change their lives. 

There is a quote by a mystery 

author, Stacia Tauscher, who 

remains a bit of an enigma but 

her words hold true: “We worry 

about what a child will be 

tomorrow, yet we forget that the 

child is already someone today.” 

Leaders not 

leading at all 

WE HAVE no leaders. This is what 

has popped in and out of my mind 

for a long time while considering 

the political, economic and social 

spheres. 

I searched the internet for a 

definition of leadership with the 

following found in the Business 

Dictionar y: ”The activity of leading 

a group of people or an 

organisation or the ability to do 

this. Leadership involves: 

establishing a clear vision, sharing 

that vision with others so they will 

follow willingly, 

providing the 

i n fo r m at i o n , 

knowledge and 

methods to 

realise that 

vision, and 

c o o r d i n at i n g 

and balancing the conflicting 

interests of all members and 

st a ke h o l d e r s . 

“A leader steps up in times of 

crisis, and is able to think and act 

creatively in difficult situations.” 

Having read this definition, do 

you think any of our leaders 

resemble the sort of leader 

described here? 

Those who know me know that I 

always complain that we are led 

by imisila, meaning the leaders we 

have should actually be the ones 

being led. It is amazing that so 

many people find themselves in 

leadership positions when they are 

palpably not suited or qualified to 

do so. 

Let’s take the report of the 

auditor-general about the financial 

management of municipalities, for 

example. Many have consistently 

performed poorly and the situation 

does not seem to be changing. 

Many are clueless as to what 

they need to do to turn the 

situation around. Has anyone been 

made to pay for this? Has anyone 

been fired? Has any mayor been 

demoted? Not a chance! That is 

not how we do things in our 

country. Being efficient in your job 

seldom counts as a positive. 

It seems that other talents that 

have nothing to do with good 

governance 

matter more. 

IN 

TOUCH 

... with Phumelele P Hlati 

If you do 

not believe 

me, look 

around in the 

sphere you 

work in. 

Check who the leaders are and 

what they are doing. Check how 

they even became leaders. Were 

they elevated because they were 

the best possible persons? Have 

they provided good leadership that 

has steered the institution or their 

organisation in the right direction? 

The disaster that is the st at e 

presidency would not be so bad if 

the same mediocrity is not 

duplicated at every level of 

government and organisations of 

which we are members. In short, 

leaders are being led and 

followers are leading. 

That just cannot be allowed to 

continue at its current trajectory. 

The demobilised civil society must 

be mobilised again unless we 

want to live in a ruined country. I 

hope we are not too late, though.

do better than yesterday. I want 

to be someone that others look 

up to in life. 

Q: What part of your career do 

you enjoy the most? 

A: As an agriculturalist, I get to

bringing something new to 

people’s tables. 

Q: What is that one thing you

A: Playing with my mother

A: It is a small town, which is

as Pretoria. And most of the 

people know each other. 

Q: What is the biggest problem 

that SA is fa c i n g ? 

A: We have less farmers with 

more people who are demanding 

food and that includes less 

young people in the agricultural

A: Yes, most of the people 

believe that investing in the 

youth is investing in the future. 

Young people are now more 

educated, they know how to 

reason and think. As young as 

we are, we are able to analyse 

our country and recognise the 

gaps. 

Q: What is that one thing you 

do every day? 

A: Pray that God sees me 

through all things and I make 

sure I help at least one person.

INTERNATIONAL Nelson Mandela Day 

was celebrated on Tuesday with South 

Africans undertaking good deeds in 

honour of the late statesman as part of 

the 67 Minutes for Madiba campaign. 

Do you think 67 minutes is enough to 

do something good – or should we be 

showing compassion on a daily basis? 

Lindelwa Tshwele form Cofimvaba 

I think 67 minutes is not enough, 

people should show ubuntu every day. 

The government should not wait for 

Mandela Day to show that they care. 

Would they have done any good deeds

Andile Matukane

if it had not been Mandela Day? I don’t 

think so. 

Zizipho Mgudlwa from Cofimvaba 

It is not enough, because we as 

community members who volunteer in 

the child care centre see the struggles 

that the children go through. I think 

these organisations should not wait for 

people to donate, but should make a 

plan. Ubuntu should be a daily thing to 

be practised by every individual. 

Basanda Mdyada from Ezibeleni 

People should show humanity every 

day, because 67 minutes is not enough

to make someone feel worthy and

Ntsingiselo Mamela from Illinge 

As Africans we should show kindness 

to one another every day and not wait 

for a particular day. 

Bulelani Siqanqalala from Nomzamo 

The leader we are honouring – 

Nelson Mandela – did not fight our 

liberation for only a short while, he 

spent years in prison fighting for our 

freedom. I think we should follow in his 

footsteps and carry on with his legacy 

by being humanitarians.

Help needed to 

put SA on track 

LONG Road Ahead of Komani writes: 

When I look at the current political mess 

and the impact it has had and continues 

to have on South Africa, I cannot but help 

think that we have a very long way to go 

to return our country to the right track. 

And what is the right track, you may 

well ask? I believe that the right track is 

a country that is fair to everyone and a 

country that gives people opportunities. 

Contrary to what many politicians 

seem to promote, I do not believe in a 

country of handouts or in a country 

where people are judged on the colour of 

their skins. 

I do not believe in a country where 

violence is ever a means to solve a 

problem or to address issues, while there 

are many other ways it can be done. 

WORRIED of Komani writes: 

Throughout the Komani area, there are 

broken or missing or vandalised stop 

signs. 

This poses a great hazard to 

motorists, especially those who do not 

know the area. While some motorists 

purposefully ignores these signs, others 

are law abiding and would stop – but 

alas, the lack of visible signs may mean 

I do believe in a country where people 

are safe and able to prosper – if they put 

in the work that is necessary. 

A country that is on the right track, I 

believe, will not have to divide its citizens 

with radical and populist talk to achieve 

its goals – it would be fixing things and 

building and empowering people. 

It would show people through its 

actions that it cares. 

Are we a long way from there? Yes, I 

believe we are, but I do also believe that 

recent opposition to theft and corruption 

shows there are still many good men and 

women left in South Africa. 

As an older citizen it probably will not 

be in my lifetime – I hope it is in yours. 

Our country is too precious to be lost. 

Missing stop signs a hazard 

that they will go through a stop street 

with possible devastating 

consequences. 

A simple appeal therefore to the 

Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality – 

please do an audit of the stop signs 

(and yield signs) throughout the area 

and fix and replace wherever 

necessary. Please do not wait for a 

tragedy to happen before taking action.

ROUND&ABOUT 

Food drive to help old age home 

Community organisation steps in to assist 

KOMANI community 

organisation VDub 

Evolution has started a 

drive to collect food for the 

crisis-stricken John Vorster 

Old Age Home in the town. 

The Rep reported (“Home 

struggles without subsidies” 

July 7) that the home was 

desperate for donations as it 

continued to await the 

payment of its subsidies by 

the Social Development 

Department over the past 

three months. 

VDub’s Maxwell Levine 

said they had decided to 

collect food for the home 

after learning of the plight of 

the 78 residents. 

“In an effort to ease the 

burden faced by the elders 

the car club has embarked on 

a project to collect as much 

food as they can.” 

The first phase of the 

collection took place on 

Saturday where the team 

collected food for two hours 

outside Protea SuperSpar 

and another two hours at 

Pick n Pay. VDub chairwoman 

Shirlene Hartnick said: “We 

are ecstatic with the progress 

we have made thus far. We 

are so grateful to the 

management of Protea Spar 

and Pick n Pay for allowing 

us to collect this 

much-needed food in front of 

their stores. The reaction 

from the community of 

Komani has been enormous 

and we are grateful to each 

and everyone who have 

donated. This will surely go a 

long way in bringing a little 

relief to the Old Age Home”. 

The second phase will kick 

in for the next two weeks 

whereby members of Vdub 

will collect in 

neighbourhoods and from 

certain businesses. 

Levine said the third phase 

would take place on July 30 

where proceeds and food 

collected would be handed 

over to the management of 

the Home. 

“Vdub Evolution is also 

ecstatic that a good 

Samaritan in Raymond Heuer 

Jnr of RH Fast Foods in 

conjunction with the club is 

going to sponsor a spit braai 

for the elderly for lunch on 

July 30. 

“The club is living through 

its slogan, ‘Driven by the 

passion for our communities’ 

and the outreach 

programmes will go a long 

way in helping the 

disadvantaged members of 

the community of Komani.”

A calling to change lives 


PROPHETESS Dudu Qitsi, 

better known as the “Iron 

Lady”, is the founder of 

Vessels of Honour 

Ministries which was 

started in Komani in May. 

“I believe prophets are 

born as prophets but it is 

up to the person to 

answer the calling when 

the time is right. Last 

year, I was hosting a 

women’s conference in 

East London when I 

answered my calling. God 

told me to come back to 

Komani where I was 

insulted and hurt. I was 

not called for women 

only, but for the nations.” 

The church 

membership has grown 

from three to 90 over two 

months with the majority 

being young. 

“There are senior 

citizens who are slowly 

joining the church. My 

purpose is to win souls 

for heaven and to

the word of God is my 

No 1 priority.” 

Qitsi said the main 

difficulties she faced 

when starting the church 

was to find a building to 

rent in town, and dealing 

with misperceptions. 

“Some people have the 

mentality that I am 

poaching other people’s 

church members, and 

that the church is a 

money-making scheme, 

but that is not true. I 

have three businesses – 

two in East London and 

one in Komani – which 

generate income to 

maintain the church.” 

Qitsi is a Lukhanji FM 

presenter with a show on 

Wednesdays at 7.30pm 

to 9pm, Amanxeba Akho 

Abungqina Bakho (”Yo u r 

scars are your 

t e st i m o n y ”). 

Last year, she also 

started a foundation 

called Adopt a Girl Child 

and donates sanitary 

towels to girls in need. 

Services start on 

Wednesdays from 6pm to

Keep your 

home secure 

THE security of your family – and by extension your 

home – is paramount in a country which is often 

the setting for crime, including violent crime. 

Safety and the security of your home should thus 

be a priority for homeowners. While technology has 

advanced much in assisting homeowners in 

creating a safer environment, these measures are 

often expensive. There are however various ways 

and means which can be implemented in 

sharpening up security: 

ý Create some light. Extra lighting on the 

perimeter of your home serves as a deterrent to 

would-be criminals. 

ý Don’t ever leave an extra key under the 

doormat or in the postbox – you may think that 

only the intended recipient will be able to get to it, 

but this practice is an open invitation for those 

wanting to gain unauthorised access to your home. 

ý Raise the wall. A fence or a wall around your 

home assists in keeping those with criminal intent 

at bay. 

ý Keep the phone numbers of the police, 

ambulance services and local security companies 

in a visible, easily accessible spot. 

ý Invest in a dog – but make sure to look after 

it! A dog can make a great alarm system and will 

most likely bark if strangers come near your home. 

ý Become involved in a neighbourhood watch. 

These kinds of structures are gaining popularity 

throughout South Africa as part of a “crime watch” 

system. Neighbours alert others of strangers or 

possible criminal activity and keep a careful eye on 

homes in the area. 

ý Burglar proofing is a must. Shop around – 

there are some affordable options available on the 

market. Security gates are also a great idea and

Children enjoy day of fun 


THE Queens Hotel and Casino 

played host to 55 children, 

including children living on the 

street, those in foster care and 

those in shelters, on Tuesday. 

The initiative was made 

possible by Owethu Ncantsana 

who approached Inga Vanqa 

Quantity Surveyors to sponsor 

the event with the Queens Hotel 

Casino partnering to host the 

event. 

“I used to see streets kids and 

children who came from poor 

families asking for R2 at the 

malls. I was touched and took a 

decision to do something for 

them for Mandela Day. I spoke to 

some people who were excited 

to assist by becoming a part of 

the initiative,” Ncantsana said. 

She said the children were 

transported with the help of the 

department of social 

development. 

Child Welfare chief social 

worker Phillip Tichavangana 

said, “We have children living in 

different parts of the Eastern 

Cape who are here for their July 

holidays. Some were removed 

from their homes to temporary 

safe care houses for being 

sexually assaulted and other 

were being abused physically. 

“We also have children who 

were abandoned by their parents 

who live on the streets.” 

The event had been a great 

success. 

Child Welfare was currently 

busy with a street children 

programme which included 

meals and engaging the children 

in sport and educational 

activities. 

He said some street children 

were getting older and were 

ashamed to return to school. 

“We will go around Komani to 

look for businesses to help them 

get an internship programme. 

“This is for them to see that 

there is still hope for a brighter 

future,” Tichavangana said.

New group to help addicts 


A 

NARCOTICS Anonymous 

(NA) group is helping 

Komani residents 

struggling with drug abuse. 

The Rep reported (“Drug hell 

in Komani”, July 7) that drug 

abuse in the area was 

e s c a l at i n g . 

The NA group was started in 

September last year by former 

Komani resident Llewllyn 

Kammies who currently lives 

in Port Elizabeth. 

Kammies, who is a 

recovering addict, started 

attending NA meetings in Port 

Elizabeth, but out of fear of 

relapsing decided to start a 

NA group in Komani. 

“I was scared of returning to 

Finance minister to speak on economic change 


FINANCE Minister Malusi 

Gigaba is set to tackle the 

state of socio-economic 

transformation in South Africa 

at the Black Management 

Forum (BMF) conversation 

dinner today at the Queens 

Hotel and Casino. 

Gigaba will deliver his 

address on “The development 

of local economies and future 

plans to advance and 

accelerate economic 

t ransformation” with the 

purpose of the event to bring 

my previous lifestyle. I also 

witnessed how other addicts 

and former friends of mine 

were still suffering and 

realised that something had to 

be done. I contacted my 

sponsor in PE and they helped 

me. They sent me a starter 

pack and everything just took 

off in a matter of days.” 

Kammies said he was well 

versed with the reality of 

trying to escape drug 

addiction. 

“I know what it feels like to 

have a desire to stop and also 

being unable to. I was 

spiritually bankrupt and felt 

defeated. Imprisoned by 

feelings of guilt, anger, 

hopelessness, depression, low 

self-esteem – it was a living 

both the private and public 

sector on board to exchange 

ideas on ways to advance and 

accelerate the economic 

transformation agenda. 

Chris Hani BMF chairman 

Mabuti Mpafa said the South 

African economy faced 

problems of inequality and 

unemployment. 

The BMF had made an input 

in the economic 

transformation discussion 

paper in trying to define the 

terms radical economic 

transformation and economic 

inclusive growth. 

DOING GOOD: The staff and pupils of Toddler’s 

Den day care and playschool donated toiletries 

to John Vorster Old Age Home as part of their 

contribution to the 67 Minutes for Madiba 

campaign 


nightmare. I hurt every person 

who ever cared about me.” 

The group’s secretary, 

Sibongile Ndwalaza, 22, is 

also recovering from 

addiction. 

“It is a 12-step programme 

that assists the addict to get 

to the core of the problem. 

Addiction is a disease. Our 

first principle requires us 

[addicts] to surrender and 

admit our powerlessness over 

our drug of choice. It is proven 

that the only way that addicts 

can remain clean and sane is 

by talking with people who 

have walked the same path. 

“Our programme serves as a 

platform for people to know 

that they never need to stand 

alone,” Ndwalaza said. 

“We inherited South Africa 

as a country which was not 

transformed after the 

apartheid era. The South 

African economy does not play 

a meaningful role to make 

sure that black people are 

par ticipants.” 

Issues to be dealt with 

included small, medium and 

micro enterprises (SMMEs) 

development as a focal area. 

“Money was spent to 

establish SMMEs, including 

government institutes such as 

the Small Enterprise Finance 

Agency (Sefa), National Youth 

She said sadly some people 

did not understand and 

reacted in anger towards 

addicts. 

“Komani does need a public 

rehab centre.” 

An anonymous member of 

the group, now 28, said, “I 

have been an addict of alcohol 

and dagga since I was 15. 

“I accepted my addiction 

four months ago, the drug 

abuse affected my relationship 

with my loved ones and 

especially my daughter, but 

thanks to the group I have my 

life back.” 

The NA meetings are held at 

10 Scholars Walk Road, 

Victoria Park, opposite Maria 

Louw High School on 

Thursdays and Sundays. 

Development Agency (NYDA) 

and Eastern Cape 

Development Corporation 

(ECDC). But, looking at the 

unemployment rate, to what 

extent has the SMMEs been 

assisted? This reflects that 

government is not serious.” 

Regarding the revised 

Preferential Procurement 

Policy Framework Act (PPPFA), 

he said the tender 

qualification requirement 

should be enforced for every 

organ of state. The economy of 

rural and townships should 

also be promoted.

Mayor’s tribute 

to DA councillor 

ENOCH Mgijima Local Municipality 

(EMLM) executive mayor Lindiwe 

Gunuza-Nkwentsha has paid 

tribute to late DA councillor 

Jerome Shaw. 

Shaw, who was an attorney, 

passed away in Cape Town 

following surgery recently. 

A memorial service was held in 

Komani on Tuesday. 

Gunuza-Nkwentsha said this 

week that “everyone at Enoch 

Mgijima Local Council is left 

profoundly sad by the passing of 

councillor Jerome Shaw. His 

political work is well known, 

working as the DA Caucus 

chairman on the council. His 

political acumen was a huge asset 

to both his party and council, with 

him often having the first word at 

council meetings raising legal and 

procedural matters.“ 

She said he had been committed 

and worked tirelessly for this 

community in various capacities. 

He joined local government politics 

in 2011 as a propor tional 

representative (PR) councillor for 

the DA, serving three m ay o r s 

during his terms in office, and had 

been well known and respected in 

both the Lukhanji and Enoch 

Mgijima local councils. 

“He served on the Administration 

and Human Resources Standing 

Committee from 2011 until the end 

of his first term. He also served on 

the Corporate Services Committee 

from August last year. His passion, 

commitment and dedication will be 

missed.” 

She expressed the council’s 

sympathy to his children, Matthew, 

Gerald and Michelle, and his 

sisters, Mary and Bernadette. 

“We thank the Shaw family for 

sharing the most important person 

in their lives with us and the 

community as a whole.“

Aviation Camp inspires local youths 

THE Siyandiza Aviation Camp, hosted by the South 

African Air Force (SAAF) in partnership with Denel 

in Komani, will draw to a close tomorrow. 

The “Young Falcons” camp, hosted at the Gali 

Thembani Centre, is the only one in the Eastern 

Cape and has been supported by the Chris Hani 

District Municipality. Similar camps are being 

hosted in Limpopo, North West and Mpumalanga. 

The main objective of the camps is to educate 

and teach mathematics and physical science and 

introduce pupils to the aviation fraternity. Pupils 

must be studying both mathematics and physics at 

school as a prerequisite for acceptance. 

In a statement, the SAAF indicated that it was 

working towards support of the National 

Development Plan in ensuring that pupils from all 

walks of life have access to practical tools that 

make maths and physics exciting. 

“This is essential because this country needs 

youth that is equipped in maths and physics for 

aviation, engineering, innovation and whatever 

science-related specialty to address research and 

development, employment creation and economic 

t ransformation.” 

About 142 pupils from the Eastern Cape have 

attended the local camp with mentors from SAAF 

and Denel teaching the pupils about military skills, 

maths, physics and life skills. – Rep reporter

Rugby rivalry 

this weekend 

Breakers, Old Collegians face off in HPJ Cup 

MAXWELL LEVINE 

ALL roads will lead to the 

Mlungisi Stadium 

tomorrow for the 

biggest game on the local 

rugby calendar as Breakers 

take on cross-town rivals Old 

Collegians (OC) in the 

second edition of the much 

anticipated HPJ Cup. 

Kudos went to Breakers in 

the first round of the derby, 

when they defeated OC 24-22 in 

a thrilling match at the Thobi 

Kula Stadium earlier this year. 

Collegians will want to 

avenge that defeat and turn the 

tables on their opponents in 

their own back yard. Things 

have certainly changed for both 

teams, with Breakers having an 

indifferent league campaign 

and Old Collegians boasting 

one of their better seasons in 

years. Breakers have always 

dominated their rivals and will 

go into this match as favourites. 

The last outing between the 

two sides was at the Easter 

Tournament at the Mlungisi 

Stadium, where a shell-shocked 

Collegians side were d o m i n at e d 

by the men in black, white and 

gold. 

Since then, OC have recruited 

CRUNCH TIME: Do not miss out as Breakers and Old 

Collegians face off in the HPJ Cup in Komani this weekend. 

From left, Breakers captain Thabo Sokwebe and his Old 

Collegians counterpart Neville Olivier showed they were up 

to the challenge this week

several players to beef up their 

squad. To spice matters up, OC 

did the unthinkable by roping in 

four former Breakers players in 

BA Siyobi, Vuyo Ngemtu, Loyiso 

Ngculu and crowd favourite Lali 

Maso. 

Breakers have huge forwards 

and will want to dominate 

upfront. Captain Thabo 

Sokwebe has been at the helm 

for years, he has seen it all and 

won many battles and will spur 

on his troops not to disappoint 

in front of the Mlungisi faithful. 

Breakers have game makers 

at the back with nippy fullback 

Nkunku Mbusi an integral part 

of their attack and goal kicking. 

With evergreen Milo Nqoro 

and Tulani Rengqu among their 

backs, Breakers have the fire 

power to unsettle any team. 

Old Collegians will count on 

the physicality of BA Siyobi to 

drive them forward. Ngculu, 

with his expertise at the 

lineouts and leadership 

qualities, will play a significant 

role. The terrible twins Romaine 

Flusk and Jonathan Hare will be 

a menace at the breakdown, 

with Nkomo Mabona up for the 

task at hand. Vuyo Ngemtu will 

add the calming effect at 

halfback with playmaker Maso 

“Msoseji” wanting to prove a 

point or two. In captain Neville 

Olivier, they have a dangerman, 

who can dislodge any defence. 

Collegians can count on their 

explosive and pacy young guns 

in Beertjie Olivier and Darren 

Williams to add that extra 

spark, with Craig Pijoos always 

in the mix. 

In games like this form goes 

out of the window and it will be 

the team with the “big match 

temperament” (BMT) that will 

p r e va i l . 

Komani rugby-loving 

supporters are bracing 

themselves for a huge rugby 

spectacle. 

Gate opens at 1pm with the 

second teams starting at 2pm 

and the main match at 3pm. A 

R10 entry fee will be charged 

with a razzmatazz atmosphere 

expected with live music, VIP 

tents and lots more.

Top skills at Build It U13 soccer showdown 


SOCCER excellence took centre stage at 

the Dumpy Adams Stadium as nine local 

teams faced off during the U13 Build It 

zonal tournament on Sunday. 

Teams came from Komani, Illinge and 

Ezibeleni with the goal of lifting the 

trophy and being selected to represent 

Komani in the zonal playoffs at the Sisa 

Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane. 

Build It project manager M o n wa b i s i 

Jaza said this was the first time that the 

Komani Build It group had hosted the 

event under the leadership of the South 

African Football Association (Safa) and 

the Build It hardware retail group. 

Jaza said the tournament, which 

started in 2006, aimed to produce the 

best soccer players in South Africa. 

“The winning team will get a soccer kit, 

training bibs and 10 water bottles. Each 

player will get a small trophy and the 

association gave out six referee kits, two 

corner flags, two assistant flags and 

cards,” Jaza said. 

Safa regional executive officer Kholiwe 

Masabalala said 20 players were selected 

with a coach and manager that will 

represent Komani n the zonal playoffs in 

Mdantsane in the near future. The date 

has not yet been confirmed. 

“The players will train together, and it 

will depend on the coaches and 

managers on how they will train and 

prepare the players for the playoffs. The 

names of the players that made selection 

are not yet available, as they are still with

their coaches,” Masabalala said. 

The teams that participated were 

Shooting Stars, Phoenix, Blackstars, 

Ravens, Sunrise, Aces, Komani 

Conquerors, Sunrise Football Club, 

Volcanoes and Academy. Ilinge-based 

team Aces were crowned the champions 

of the tournament, with the Conquerors 

from Komani being the runners-up. 

Fifteen matches were played, with four 

games rolling over, five ending in draws 

and with no goals conceded. 

Aces beat Shooting Stars 1-0, Ravens 

suffered a 1-0 loss against Sunrise and 

Conquerors lost 1-0 to Volcanoes. Ravens 

lost 1-0 to Volcanoes and beat Academy 

2-1. Sunrise lost 1-0 to Conquerors with 

the Ravens suffering a 2-0 defeat against 

A c a d e m y. Volcanoes beat Sunrise 1-0.
