EMLM bankrupt – DA 

but municipality says no ... 

SONJA RAASCH 

THE Enoch Mgijima Local 

Municipality is bankrupt – 

and tough times lie ahead 

for residents, the DA has 

warned – but the 

municipality has denied a 

declaration of bankruptcy. 

DA caucus chairman Chris de 

Wet, in a statement to the media this 

week, said the municipality had 

depleted its cash reserves which 

were standing at more than 

R100-million just over a year ago. 

In addition, De Wet indicated, the 

monthly Eskom electricity bill for 

bulk electricity by the local authority 

was standing at double the amount 

collected from the sale of electricity 

to consumers. 

In August/September, he 

indicated, the Eskom account was at 

R31-million while only R14-million 

had been received in payment from 

consumers. 

This situation had been ongoing 

for some time, he said. 

De Wet said it had since been 

found out that, following inquiries 

made by the party during a finance 

committee meeting of EMLM on 

September 22, and following 

information supplied by the budget 

and treasury department, that after 

the municipality paid its salaries for 

this month, there were no funds left 

to pay the Eskom account of about 

R31-million or other creditors. 

The mayoral committee had then, 

De Wet said, authorised that 

R15-million be used from the 

Municipal Infrastructural Grants 

(MIG) fund to make a payment to 

E s ko m . 

“This was done without any 

council approval and in clear 

violation of the approved budget and 

other applicable legislation as the 

MIG funds are conditional grants 

from central government that could 

only be used strictly in accordance 

with its intended purpose which 

does not include paying for running 

expenses, such as an electricity bill 

from Eskom.” 

De Wet said the Eskom account 

was in arrears of more than 

R16-million, with next month’s 

account to be delivered shortly. 

“By illegally using the MIG fund to 

pay a running expense of the 

municipality, it has become clear 

that the municipality is technically 

bankrupt and is beginning to follow 

a doctrine of ‘robbing Peter to pay 

Pa u l ’.” 

He said the DA had consistently 

warned executive mayor Lindiwe 

Gunuza-Nkwentsha and the ANC 

mayoral committee and residents of 

the looming financial disaster, “but 

these warnings appear to have fallen 

on deaf ears”. 

“It is clear that the ANC-led 

council and mayoral committee have 

no idea how to successfully manage

VUYOLWETHU HEMENI 

Burnt body belongs 

to missing teenager 

– Komani police 

THE Komani police have confirmed that a 

burnt body found in Mlungisi a month ago is 

that of a missing teenager Vuyolwethu 

Hemeni. 

Earlier this month, police initiated a task 

team to look for the 14-year-old Edlelweni 

Primary School pupil who had not returned 

home from school on August 25. 

Shortly after her disappearance on August 

26, a body which had been set alight was 

found between the Eskom residential area 

where Heneni had lived and John Noah 

Primary School. At the time, police were 

unable to confirm a link between the body 

and the girl’s disappearance. 

Police spokesman Captain Namhla Mdleleni 

confirmed this week that DNA tests had 

proven that the body was that of the missing 

girl. 

Mdleleni said DNA had been taken from the 

mother of the child and the body on the scene 

and it was evident that there was a familial 

link. 

Police are investigating a murder case. 

Police are appealing to anyone with 

information to contact Lieutenant Colonel 

Bulelwa Lembese on 086-000 1011 or on 

082-441 8178. 

‘President Zuma must step down’ 

SIMTEMBILE MGIDI 

Shock find of body in dam angers Dongwe 


EMLM admits facing financial challenges 

From page 1 

OLIVET COLLEGE 

Ad vitam paramus 

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma must do the 

honourable thing and step down as the 

president of South Africa, Cosatu Chris 

Hani members indicated in a march 

forming part of national protest action 

on Wednesday. 

The march, initiated by the national 

leadership of Cosatu, was to warn that 

the body will not tolerate corruption 

and state capture. 

Cosatu Chris Hani secretary 

Ndyalavane Mawethu said they aimed 

to highlight the need to protect the 

pension funds of workers and call for 

the employment of casual workers as 

full time employees. 

A memorandum was handed over to 

the department of labour. 

Mawethu said: “We support the 

central committee of Cosatu calling for 

president Zuma to do the honourable 

thing and step down. 

“As for the pensions of workers, 

government must not even think to bail 

out the country or state entities like 

Eskom or SAA, because that is what 

government is intending to do, borrow 

THE find of a man’s body whose 

genitals had allegedly been removed in 

a dam near Whittlesea, has angered 

the community of Dongwe. 

A man who wanted to remain 

anonymous, said he had been unable 

to sleep since he saw the body on 

Fr i d ay. 

“I was taking livestock to graze 

around the dam and saw a human 

head. I told another shepherd. The old 

man said I must look closer and I took 

off my shoes and went to look.” 

The man said the body’s genitals 

were gone and the body had only 

the financial affairs and administration 

of our municipality. This is not only 

evident from the financial bankruptcy we 

are facing, but also from the increasing 

deterioration of our infrastructure, lack 

of service delivery, etc. Komani, and all 

the other towns under this ANC 

administration, have never before in 

their existence been in such a bad state 

of disrepair and neglect. It is a shame 

that this once-proud town, described as 

the jewel of the Border area, has become 

a bankrupt dump.” 

De Wet said the party wanted to warn 

residents that the viability of the 

municipality was at risk and that, if the 

money from workers’ pensions. 

“Other countries have tried this and 

found it difficult to pay the monies 

back. Greece is an example. If 

government uses this money, we will 

mobilise the workers to march against 

that decision.” 

He said some companies were not 

complying with the Labour Relations 

Act which stipulated that workers 

employed for more than three months 

should be permanently employed. 

PEC member of the ANC and 

National Assembly of South Africa 

member, Thozama Mantashe, said the 

ANC in Manguang in 2012 made a 

resolution to fight corruption. 

“Everyone should be here, because 

corruption affects everyone. We cannot 

create jobs, there can be no free 

education and we cannot fix inequality 

because the country’s money is being 

looted. The ANC is not a corrupt 

organisation, it is unfortunate that 

some deployees are corrupt and if the 

head is corrupt, the whole body will be 

referred to as corrupt.” 

Central committee member of the SA 

Communist Party (SACP) Bulelwa 

Tunyiswa said the party fought for the 

surfaced because the water was 

receding due to the drought. 

He said crime was a serious problem 

in the area and he had managed to 

survive a stabbing by teenage boys 

demanding money a few years ago. 

An outraged Aphiwe Thompson, who 

lives in Dongwe near the dam, said the 

community had had enough of the 

killings in the area. 

“We feel horrible about what 

happened. We walk to places, we go to 

shops at night, we are tired of feeling 

afraid. Just to think that we have been 

living with a dead body among us and 

to have a human chopped up like an 

animal ... we are pleading with the 

situation was not remedied, Eskom 

would cut off the electricity supply while 

service providers would stop providing 

goods and services to the local authority. 

“The DA is in consultation with its 

shadow minister of c o o p e r at i v e 

government in order to assess the 

situation and find the best way forward, 

most likely requesting that the 

municipality be put under 

administ ration.” 

He said the mayor and committee 

should have “the courage and honesty” 

to reveal the true facts of the situation to 

residents. 

“On the contrary, they not only remain 

dead silent, but also continue to allow 

unbridled expenditure and corruption to 

Officers apprehend man after brick is thrown at vehicle 

ON MONDAY last week, Red Guard 

response officers on patrol apprehended 

a person throwing a brick at a 

supermarket vehicle in Cathcart Road, 

operations manager Willie Reynecke told 

The Rep. 

The store manager declined to open a 

case because it appeared that the person 

was mentally ill and he was released. 

On Tuesday morning, response officers 

apprehended a person in the veld near a

working class. 

“We do that by supporting any 

movement that fights against 

corruption. We support workers, 

because they are unsettled about their 

pensions. When the state is captured 

people get tenders wrongly, like the 

Gupta family.” 

Chairman of the sub-region in Enoch 

Mgijima SA Council of Churches 

Kanana Nyameka said they were 

marching for peace and unity. 

“We are here to bring hope. 

Corruption is not accepted, because all 

that they are stealing is from God.”

take place and flourish within municipal 

administ ration.” 

EMLM spokesman Fundile Feketshane 

said the municipality had, since its 

establishment, experienced a lot of 

financial challenges. 

“It has, however, strived to ensure that 

it meets its financial obligations as and 

when they fall due.” 

He said EMLM was set to engage 

various creditors on payment terms “so 

that its financial cash flows do not 

deplete having paid huge sums to one 

c r e d i t o r. ” 

This was the case with, for example, 

Eskom when arrangements could be 

made for payment terms if the 

municipality struggled to settle the 

tavern who was carrying a microwave 

oven and a dinner set. As he could not 

explain where he had obtained the 

property from, he was taken to the police 

and arrested for possession of suspected 

stolen property. 

Security officers on duty at a 

supermarket on Wednesday afternoon, 

apprehended a suspect for theft. The 

stolen goods were returned and the 

suspect was handed over to the police. 

WORDS: ANC PEC member and 

member of the National Assembly 

of South Africa Thozama Mantashe

Ward 26 chairman Phaphama 

Madubedube said there was concern 

that the man’s death might have been 

for muthi purposes. 

“We know that murders like this one 

are normally related to witchcraft. The 

same week the body was found, we 

held a march against the killing of 

women, children and other crimes in 

the area.” 

He appealed for a thorough 

investigation into the latest death, 

saying the community would continue 

to fight crime, including setting up a 

neighbourhood watch structure. 

The police had not commented at the 

time of going to press. 

entire bill. 

He said council would always ensure 

that it had enough financial resources to 

pay the salary bill. 

The municipality was trying to collect 

as much as possible from debtors to 

ensure that the funds were invested 

back into the provision of services and 

infrast ructure. 

“We are implementing our 

credit-control policies and revenue 

enhancement strategies and we call 

upon our customers to make such 

p ay m e n t s . ” 

Feketshane said there had been no 

declaration of bankruptcy by EMLM. 

He denied that MIG funds were used 

by the municipality to pay Eskom. 

On Thursday morning, response officers 

attended to a panic at a store where they 

apprehended a suspect who was 

allegedly threatening the store owner 

with a knife. The suspect was handed 

over to police. 

In an incident on Sunday response 

officers apprehended a suspect at a 

tavern who had allegedly tried to buy 

liquor with a fake note. He, too, was 

handed over to the police. – Rep reporter

IVENATHI GOSA 

THE South African Security Agency (Sassa) 

introduced the Integrated Community Registration 

Outreach Program (ICROP) – a ministerial 

campaign aimed at intensifying the fight against 

poverty – in McBride last week. 

The Eastern Cape is the province with the 

second highest number of people living on social 

grants. 

Sassa, government departments and other 

stakeholders engaged with villagers and social 

grant beneficiaries on government plans and 

services for their areas and communities during 

the meeting. 

Regional communication official Sinoxolo Gqala, 

said ICROP provided a platform and opportunity for 

government and communities to discuss, educate 

and create awareness on issues that included 

money lenders, deductions, fraudulent social grant 

applications, enrolled and un-enrolled social grant 

recipients and Sassa cards. 

Chris Hani district manager Nomphelo Tata said 

Sassa had the responsibility of making sure that 

the beneficiaries were alert to current scams. 

“The majority of the beneficiaries live far from 

the offices so it is our duty to make sure that we 

go to the people, and show them how to use the 

Sassa cards. 

“During a month we pay out R75-million in the 

Enoch Mgijima and R16-million to Whittlesea – the 

bulk goes to child support grants.” 

The department of health, social development, 

education, Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality and 

non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were part 

of the outreach program. 

Ward 19 committee member Siphokazi Bless 

spoke on behalf of the community and said a lack 

of water, roads in a bad condition and schools 

which needed infrastructural attention were among 

the challenges. 

Unemployment and children without birth 

certificates were also problematic. 

Assistant director of the department of 

education, Madoda Ndembe, confirmed there were 

problems with school buildings. 

“We are working on that as we have identified 

schools such as Vuselela Primary. We will have to 

wait for the next financial year, so we appeal to 

community members to be patient with us, as we 

depend on the provincial departments.” 

Bursaries for unemployed young people were 

available as there were teacher shortages. 

He also encouraged young people to make use 

of internship opportunities.

FIRES have plagued the farming 

community since last Tuesday. A fire 

started at De Doorns but fortunately 

farmers acted quickly and the fire 

was put out along the main road. On 

Thursday night lightning was the 

cause of several fires on the Penhoek 

and at Jordaans Kraal. Two fires were 

also reported near Molteno. On 

Friday morning farmers woke up to a 

fire that burnt a large portion of 

grazing between Waltervreden and 

Karnek. This fire was put out, but 

flared up several times and farmers 

had to be on standby until late in the 

afternoon. On Monday morning, 

is hoping for a bumper entry. 

October is the time to plant, so 

don’t waste one growing day. 

ORANGE Grove Schools celebrated 

their graduation dinner on 

September 15 at the school. The hall

SIXISHE Junior 

Secondary School pupils 

Uzoma Yeko and 

Adedume Balfour has 

made Komani proud by 

winning the Provincial 

Creative Arts Festival at 

the Guild Theatre in East 

London. 

Adedume said his 

journey in art started 

when he started drawing 

cartoons until his family 

recognised his talent and 

started supporting him in 

Grade 4. 

“When I was young I 

used to love drawing cars 

and cartoons, but when I 

am old I want to be an 

architect and draw 

houses.” 

Fellow scholar Uzoma 

said he was drawn into 

the world of art by 

boredom and when his 

family and friends saw 

his work they encouraged 

him. 

“Our peers are proud 

of us. My family is proud 

of me, they always ask 

me from where I got this 

talent?” 

The duo said they kept 

cool heads and decided 

that they would compete 

in the competition. 

Sixishe Arts and 

Culture teacher 

Nompumelelo Konkwane 

said the school drew on 

past experience in the 

competition and was 

thrilled to win the gold. 

“The theme for the 

competition was OR 

Tambo the legend. We 

found out he played 

soccer and cricket, loved 

maths, was the 

secretary-general of the 

ANC, and that there was 

an airport and district 

municipality named after 

him – and so we decided 

to use this to tell his story.” 

She thanked teacher 

Nokuzola Fini and Babini 

Ndodana and principal 

Kunjulwana Matangwana 

for their assistance. 

M at a n g wa n a said she 

was proud of the duo and 

hoped the other pupils 

would follow suit in 

exploring their talents.

Get us out of 

this mess 

THE ANC provincial conference 

starting today cannot come soon 

enough for our province and 

specifically the floundering Enoch 

Mgijima Local Municipality. 

Whatever happens and 

whichever side wins this weekend, 

very tough decisions will have to be 

made to stop the almost complete 

standstill in service delivery. 

Many people have dedicated a 

lot of energy and 

time to 

campaign for 

their respective 

s l at e s . 

Whether Oscar 

Mabuyane or 

Phumulo Masualle’s faction 

triumphs, I do not care. All I care 

about is that decisions have to be 

made by either faction on many ills 

that have blighted EMLM. 

Komani is falling apart and the 

infrastructure has deteriorated to 

such an extent you would swear 

there is no municipal authority 

here at all. 

Since the amalgamation of the 

three municipalities of Lukhanji, 

Nkwanca and Tsolwana after the 

August 2016 municipal election, 

we have had no permanent 

municipal manager. Almost all the 

directorates have acting directors 

and there seems to be no end in 

sight. If someone is acting, he can 

easily avoid any direct 

responsibility and cannot really be 

made to account for any failures or 

non-delivery of services. 

Take the aborted and bungled 

process to appoint the municipal 

manager. The issue split the ruling 

party in half and both the regional 

executive and provincial executive 

could not intervene decisively as 

they are both afflicted with 

election fever. Factionalism is so 

rife that a simple decision on who 

to deploy, became so fraught that 

no decisions were made. 

This cannot be 

IN 

TOUCH 

... with Phumelele P Hlati 

allowed to 

continue any 

longer and yet 

we still have four 

more years to go 

before the 

electorate has to be called upon to 

make a decision. With elections 

this weekend I am loathe to make 

a prediction as to which faction 

will triumph, but whoever wins will 

have to roll up their sleeves and 

sort out a myriad of problems. It is 

common cause that the positions 

of certain people will depend on 

which faction wins. 

Those who understand politics, 

especially ANC politics, will know 

that those in the losing faction will 

be moved aside. 

The impasse at Enoch Mgijima 

must be the first thing the new 

PEC tackles. We cannot continue 

having turf wars. Something has 

got to give – either way. We pay 

rates and we deserve value for 

money but we are not getting it. 

New PEC, deliver us from this 

mess.

FACE 2 FA C E 

Question: Do you think young people are slowly 

losing the meaning of their heritage? 

Answer: Yes. Young people are addicted to social 

media – even if there is a cultural event, we like to post 

it on social networks. Young people are losing the 

meaning of heritage. 

Q: Name three people, dead or alive, that you would 

love to have supper with and why? 

A: Nelson Mandela, who gave us this freedom and a 

democratic country; a true leader who spent a number 

of years in prison fighting the apartheid government. 

Education MEC Mandla Makupula, who has changed 

the lives of so many young people in this country by 

providing bursaries and who also motivated educators 

via the annual teachers’ awards in the province and 

sport, recreation, arts and culture MEC Pammy 

Majodina, a strong woman who fights for women’s 

rights. 

Q: What makes you happy? 

A: My family, especially my sister, and soccer. 

Q: What makes you angry? 

A: Negative and judgmental people. 

Q: What is your motto in life? 

A: Life is what you choose. 

Q: What motivates you to wake up and chase your 

d r e a m s? 

A: As a student teacher, when I wake in the morning, I 

tell myself that I can change, inspire and motivate. 

Q: Who is your role model? 

A: My mother, Nombasa Bota. 

Q: What makes you proud of being a South African? 

A: The opportunities that we have as young people to 

improve our future. 

Q: Describe South Africa in three words? 

A: A developing country.

KING Goodwill Zwelithini is

Do you think the traditional leaders 

should get a huge amount of money 

from the government? 

Illana Siyo from Unifound 

I am against it because I do not 

think they even support the

they live, there are millions of 

people who are suffering.

That amount of money can help 

the youth who are currently 

unemployed by developing their 

entrepreneurial skills so that they 

can start their own businesses. I do 

not think these leaders deserve to 

be paid monthly for just being 

leaders.

Wandisile Hlangani from King

I think it is a waste of money to 

splurge on one person who is not 

going to help the community with it. 

The government should stop paying

Chumeka Mapasa-Mgqweto from

Corruption is increasing on a daily 

basis and there are people who are 

suffering economically, therefore I 

am against it.

Today was predicted to start at a cool 8°C

The weekend will not really be conducive

partly cloudy, with a minimum temperature

ROUND&ABOUT 

Horses, riders festival highlight 

International tentpegging event for Tamboekie 

CHUX FOURIE 

NE of the main 

attractions at this year’s 

OTamboekie Festival is 

sure to be the international 

equestrian tentpegging event 

– South Africa vs the 

Sultanate of Oman (who are 

the champions of Arabia). 

The challenge will 

commence on the first day of 

the show, Friday October 20 at 

2pm, and end at about the 

same time the following day. 

Like any international, this is 

a clash not to miss. These 

countries are considered to be 

the top two at tentpegging in 

the world at the moment. 

It is also a great clash of 

styles, with Oman known for 

their flair and speed and the 

South Africans for their skill 

and uniformity. Whatever the 

result, this competition with 

horse, speed and weapons is 

bound to keep you 

enter tained. 

The main attraction on the 

Friday evening will be a live 

performance by the 

well-known Lianie May who 

will perform at 8.30pm. 

“Guardians of Furry Friends” 

will run a play area for kiddies 

with a jumping castle, puppet 

show, face-painting, games 

and lots more. There will also 

be a potjiekos competition and 

old “Lion’s Den” style dance 

on the Friday. These events are 

all aimed at raising funds to 

help abused and neglected 

animals in our area, so 

support for this worthy cause 

is well worthwhile. 

The show committee is also 

proud to be hosting the first 

Eastern Cape provincial 

Arabian horse championships. 

These beautiful horses can be 

seen in the ring from 9am on 

the Friday. 

In true community style, 

local talent will have the 

chance to wow audiences at 

the talent competition which 

will take off at noon on the 

S at u r d ay. 

Other attractions at the 

festival include the Klaas 

Smits bar, the Presbyterian 

steakhouse, South African 

Police Service exhibits, a fun 

fair, a 5D motion cinema, a 

tattoo parlour, an old time 

photo booth, paintball games, 

mechanical bull rides, mini 

train rides and vintage tractor 

and engine club exhibits. 

This is a real community 

festival that deserves 

community support. Gate 

entry is R50 for adults and 

R20 for juniors. 

For inquiries, contact 

Charlaine on 045-858-8505 

(mornings) or on 

082-094-4252. 

MAN AND HORSE: A member of the South African tentpegging team and 

his horse give a spectacular performance at the Tamboekie Festival on a

Here’s how to save water 

WITH our water situation as dire as 

it is, residents may be wondering 

how they can cut down on usage. 

Knowing where one’s highest 

water consumption is may help in 

one’s efforts to save, so here are 

the daily consumption statistics for 

the average household: 

Bath: 60 to 80 litres, depending 

on how deep one likes it. 

Shower: 12 litres per two 

minutes. 

Flushing a toilet: 10 litres a 

time, depending on whether the 

cistern provides for normal and 

economy flushing. 

Washing dishes by hand: 23 

litres a day. 

Dishwasher: 12 to 15 litres per 

load. 

Washing machine: 50 litres. 

Defrosting food under a tap: 25 

to 35 litres. 

Leaving water running for 1.5 

minutes while brushing teeth: 18 

litres or more. 

Washing a car with a hose: 150 

lit res. 

DJ Luke M to spin the 

decks at showgrounds 

MUSIC lovers are in for a treat 

tomorrow night when Luke Mains,

with R15 000 worth of studio 

equipment as the prize. 

The winning song, All My Love – 

Luke M&Miss Mona, that won the 

competition then became a hit on the 

Soul Candi Deep House Chronicles

Retaining repo 

rate a blow 

LAST week’s decision to retain the repo rate is very 

disappointing for the economy and property 

market, said Samuel Seeff, chairman of the Seeff 

Property Group. 

At a time of poor business confidence and weak 

economic growth, marred by political instability, a 

further rate cut would have been an important 

boost for consumers and the market, he said. 

This follows the decision by the Monetary Policy 

Committee (MPC) of the South African Reserve 

Bank to retain the repo rate at 6.75% (home loan 

base rate at 10.25%). 

There was certainly every reason to expect a 

rate cut given the better than expected economic 

growth of 2.5% in the last quarter and the relative 

stability of the inflation rate in the targeted 3%-6% 

range. While the rand continues its volatility, there 

has not been any drastic fluctuation recently and 

Seeff therefore believes that a rate cut would have 

been the correct decision. 

Seeff further pointed out that it is vital to restore 

economic and political confidence if South Africa 

is going to get the economy back onto a growth 

trajectory necessary to create the jobs needed to 

addresses poverty. Consumers are struggling, of 

that there is no doubt, said Seeff. 

John Loos, from FNB’s latest Property 

Barometer, points to a further rise in the 

debt-to-disposable income ratio and hence a 

higher risk of inability to service the debt. 

While the overall property market is still in a 

much better place than what it was following the 

2007-08 Global Housing Crisis, Seeff said further 

that the persistent weak economic fundamentals 

is bearing down on the property market. 

Much of the liquidity is now out of the market 

and it is becoming harder for agents to transact. 

Properties are taking longer to sell and buyers 

are hesitant. Serious sellers need to revisit their 

price expectations. 

But, following a slow winter, the onset of spring 

seems to have brought some buyers out of 

hibernation as the property group reported an 

uptick in buyer enquiries since early September. 

Agents are also sensing that many buyers are 

sitting on the fence, waiting and watching what 

unfolds in the country in the coming months. A 

rate cut certainly would have been some incentive 

in this regard. 

In the meantime though, business continues 

and property transactions are concluded daily. 

If you are serious about selling, talk to your 

agent about setting your price at the right level. 

For buyers too, he said if you find the right 

property at the right price, then be sure to put pen 

to paper.

Funds for learning 


THE Komani Development 

Foundation (KDF) set the bar high 

by fundraising more than R210 000 

for 21 pupils from KwaKomani 

Comprehensive and Nkwanca high 

schools at its second annual 

fundraising gala dinner at the 

Queens Casino and Hotel on 

Fr i d ay. 

The dinner was preceded by two 

activities, starting with an 

entrepreneurship net working 

breakfast at the town hall on 

T h u r s d ay. 

Kwini Mining Investments, Ilitha 

Resources (Proprietary) Limited 

and Lukhanyo Transport chairman 

Dr Mlungisi Kwini, who is listed as 

among the wealthiest black people 

in South Africa, contributed 

R100 000. 

CALVIN NELANI 

Kwini said unfavourable 

conditions at home were no reason 

for pupils to not go to school. 

He said pupils should not worry 

about anything except for passing. 

This would also motivate pupils who 

followed after them, to succeed. 

Various awards were handed 

out, including to University of Fort 

Hare Professor Mvuyo Tom for 

service of excellence in education, 

KDF secretary and Cape Town city 

ombudsman Mongezi Menye who 

was given an award for service of 

excellence in leadership, IVQS 

owner Inga Vanqa who was 

recognised for entrepreneurship 

and Cape Town Sanlam investment 

CEO Azola Mayekiso for service of 

excellence in big business.

department of social development 

MEC Wezive Thusi were also guest 

Get it Done this weekend 

THE clock is ticking as the countdown starts to 

the Get it Done (GID) Open Market which will 

take centre stage in Komani tomorrow. 

The market, which opens its doors to the 

public at 2pm, will be based in the Komani 

town hall with Calvin Nelani and Abonga 

Madalane of GID your hosts for the day. 

On show will be various roleplayers and 

stakeholders in the entertainment, business, 

lifestyle and education sectors, including 

Intercape, Postnet, Walter Sisulu University, Dr 

Shasha Foundation, Boston College and 

up-and-coming fashion designers. Take your 

photo against The Rep picture wall and enjoy 

an afternoon of networking and fun. 

The market ends at 6pm, but stay on board 

speakers. KDF treasurer Luvuyo 

Rani said, “The turn-out was great. 

We did not expect to raise this 

much money with one event. Some 

pledged for life and others 

committed to assisting a child. 

“This shows that we have 

touched many hearts to take an 

interest and we hope to grow from 

here.” 

KDF was investing in education 

and helping to combat 

unemployment by focusing on 

ent repreneurship. 

“KDF has a model that can be 

replicated and used in other 

municipalities. Forums like these 

have a role to play in uplifting 

communities.” 

The event was made possible by 

various sponsors, including Daisy, 

KGA, Silulo Business Solutions and 

the Chris Hani Development 

A g e n c y.

THE Chris Hani Jazz 

Festival, hosted by the 

Chris Hani District 

Municipality (CHDM),

glimpse of their

In the line-up was 

South African jazz

with a capella group, 

The Soil. 

The show, which was

Laka took to stage as 

the first performer and 

got local jazz fans 

grooving with his skills 

on the piano. 

Laka said he was 

grateful to return to 

Komani as a home of 

jazz. “I really enjoyed 

my performance 

tonight, even though it 

was cold. The reception 

of fans was good – I am 

glad to be here after 15 

years.” 

The pianist recently

CALL FOR HELP: Isibindi non-profit organisation child and youth care workers, from left, manager Nwabisa Machine, 

supervisor Lindiwe Mkiva, Sindiswa Kwanza, Vuyiswa Calisa, Ntombekhaya Zongo, Boniswa Madadafane, Nwabisa Maseti

Isibindi staff need help 


EZIBELENI Isibindi Youth 

and Child Care Centre 

workers who tend to the 

needs of vulnerable children 

who are orphaned, disabled 

and abused, have not received 

their subsidy from the 

department of social 

development for six months. 

Fifteen people work for the 

o r g a n i s at i o n . 

Project manager Nwabisa 

Machine said employees had 

reached an agreement with 

the department that a threemonth 

waiting period – from 

April to June – of each year 

was in order, to accommodate 

budget allocations. 

This year, however, the 

Youth, child centre desperate 

for payment of its subsidies 

period passed with no 

explanation and no payment. 

Machine said after 

enquiries were raised with the 

department in July, the 

organisation was told that the 

money would be paid the 

following week. 

To date, no payment has 

been received. 

Child and youth care worker 

Mandisi Nandi said in a 

follow-up with the department 

she was told that the money 

had been paid into a Standard 

Bank account which was 

previously used while the 

organisation was still under 

the jurisdiction of Child 

We l fa r e . 

The money could not be 

traced, however. 

“Our question is: how was 

the money transferred to a 

bank account that is no longer 

active? No one has bothered 

to explain what is happening 

with our money.” 

She said Isibinde regularly 

provided reports, but the 

department did not seem to 

care how it would survive. 

Another worker, Boniswa 

Madadafane, said fears were 

that Isibinde would be evicted 

from the building it was using 

as it was unable to pay rent. 

“My child’s school shoes 

are broken – I have to make 

her wear casual shoes. It’s 

painful to have to work while 

you’re not even sure what 

your child is eating.” 

Madadafane said some of 

the workers had since left in 

search of paying jobs. 

Questions were sent to the 

social development 

department, but no response 

had been received at the time 

of going to press. 

IN DEMAND: South African Post Office workers of Komani joined their colleagues countrywide in calling for a 12% increment 

and an increase on housing subsidies from R900 to R1200. The employees are also demanding that temporary workers 

should be employed permanently and that delivery agents employees must be under the regulations of the South African 

Post Office. Communication Workers’ Union provincial deputy chairman Bonke Mfenqe said backpay of R7.3-million due for 

payment on April 1 2017 was also part of the demand

Fireworks: correct 

channels pursued 

THE Chris Hani District 

Municipality (CHDM) has 

indicated that it had 

followed the proper 

channels before allowing 

fireworks to be set off at 

the Mlungisi stadium 

during the jazz festival last 

w e e ke n d . 

The Rep was contacted 

by residents who queried 

the setting off of fireworks 

in a built-up area and 

expressed concern over the 

welfare of dogs scared by 

the noise. 

CHDM spokesman 

Thobeka Mqamelo said the 

district authority was 

“mindful of due diligence 

that must be done to 

ensure safety of the 

community prior, during 

and after display of 

fireworks. Consequently, 

permission was obtained 

from relevant bodies 

including their participation 

for monitoring of, amongst 

others, safety of the fall out 

zone (landing site)”. 

She said the process of 

application included 

obtaining permission from 

the bomb squad in Pretoria, 

assessment by the DHCM 

Fire Services unit to ensure 

compliance with set 

conditions and the 

assistance of the local 

bomb squad to oversee the 

event. – Rep reporter 

Eastern Cape dam levels 

still continue to drop 

DAM levels in the Eastern Cape continue to drop with the Enoch 

Mgijima area’s main source of water, the Waterdown Dam, down 

to 60%. 

At this time last year, the dam was 100% full. 

The Rep reported (“Running Dry”, September 22) that the Chris 

Hani District Municipality had issued a dire warning to residents 

that the area was in crisis mode following a crippling drought 

which had left the Bonkolo Dam below measurable level. Water 

from the new Xonxa Dam pipeline is expected to be available from 

the end of the year. 

According to the latest readings by the Department of Water 

Affairs, the Xonxa Dam is currently at 95.8%, down slightly from 

the 96.3% of last year. 

The Wriggleswade Dam in the Stutterheim area is at 65.2%, 

down from 88.2% at the same time last year, while the Gubu Dam 

in the same district is at 89.8%, down from 95% last year. 

The Oxkraal Dam near Whittlesea is at 27.9%, down from 40.8%, 

while the Kommandodrift Dam near Cradock is at 35.6%, down 

from 52% last year. – Rep reporter

Workshop aims to improve 

disabled support at Ikhala 


HELPING to improve the lives of the 

disabled was the main topic of 

discussion during a workshop at the 

Ikhala TVET College in Ezibeleni last Thursday. 

Senior managers of Ikhala colleges attended 

the workshop which involved Inclusive 

Education South Africa in discussions on how 

to make the college more inclusive and 

supporting of people with disabilities. 

Student support manager Africa Mgaleli said 

the college could broaden the access of 

disabled students to the college, but the 

facility simultaneously had a constitutional 

obligation to provide a support service in order 

for students to succeed in their studies. 

“You must provide adequate support which 

entails specialised human resources, such as 

lecturers who will need to undertake training 

to be more sensitive, aware and 

a c c o m m o d at i n g .” 

Budgets also needed to be biased to allow 

inclusivity and the setting up of disabled 

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS: Ikhala management members during a recent 

workshop in Komani to ensure easier tertiary education accessibility for 

support units at campuses within three to five 

years. 

Mgaleli said the college had embarked on a 

journey to make the institution of learning 

more inclusive in 2013 and a temporary 

disability unit structure was established in 

2014, which afforded assistive devices for 

visually and hearing challenged students. 

University head of disability at the University 

of Cape Town Reinette Popplestone was the 

main speaker. 

Popplestone advised the college on ways to 

categorise disabilities to ensure better 

a s s i st a n c e . 

She said one of the challenges facing 

tertiary institutions was that funders wanted to 

fund things such as buildings instead of 

channelling funds towards needs such as sign 

language interpreters. 

Popplestone said it it was difficult to 

categorise people with disabilities as people 

sympathised with a person in a wheelchair or 

wanted to help a blind person, while students 

with emotional or mental disabilities were 

often not met with the same degree of 

e m p at h y. 

Lecturers were often not understanding or 

patient, she said. 

Rehabilitation manager Boniswa Citwa from 

Retina South Africa said the workshop was a 

necessary initiative for all colleges. 

“Colleges do not have disability units or they 

are not functioning. This meeting was 

important, especially for managers. They need 

to understand the importance of assisting 

st u d e n t s .” 

Senior education specialist for Inclusive 

Education South Africa Nosiphiwo Delubom 

said they needed management to prioritise 

inclusive education. 

“Our infrastructure is not fully accessible for 

students with disabilities. The labs do not have 

equipment that accommodates them. As 

inclusive as our accommodation is, we are 

hoping for inclusive education as well – 

strategic planning and an increase in the 

number of disabled students accepted to study.”

THERE is a lot to smile about, spring is 

here and the year end festivities are 

around the corner. 

To give your best smile, it is really 

important to care for your teeth and 

gums. From an early age, our parents 

urge us to brush our teeth twice a day. 

This helps reduce plaque build-up and 

keep our breath fresher . 

Since ancient times 

the robust herb known as 

thyme has been used to 

keep oral bacteria at bay 

and help fight against 

infections. In the late 

1800s two scientists 

developed a mouthwash 

with thymol - still popular 

to this day. Thymol is the 

main essential oil derived 

from thyme. 

Thymol has been shown by studies 

to be effective in combating gingivitis 

(gum infections). Keeping your gums 

healthy is really important as gums are 

where the roots of your teeth are 

embedded. Bad breath often stems 

from plaque build-up, gingivitis or 

poor oral hygiene. You definitely don’t 

want that. 

For many years thyme has had a 

role in the herbalist’s armory to help in 

cases of coughs, oral infections and 

poor digestion. Thyme has been said 

to have properties that are able to 

destroy various harmful bacteria, 

fungi, some viruses and even 

parasites. So adding some thyme to 

your cooking, may even keep your gut 

area healthy. 

Thyme is best added 

to meat or vegetable 

stews at the beginning 

of the cooking process 

to enable the herb to 

blend in more 

completely. Regardless 

of how long you cook 

this herb; thyme’s rich 

aroma will not fade 

and will only increase 

the flavour of your 

fo o d . 

A rough guideline to interpret ‘a 

sprig of thyme’ is half a teaspoon. 

Rocky areas in your garden can be 

spots where fresh sun-loving thyme 

can thrive. This neat herb not only 

enhances the flavour of your cooking 

with its vibrant aroma, it also protects 

your health and helps you to display 

great smiles. A friendly smile can go a 

long way to lift up someone’s day .

Simmentaler top-priced 

bull at Smaldeel auction 

THE 19th annual Smaldeel Multibreed 

Bull and Ram Sale was held last 

month at Stillerus, Adelaide, with Ian 

Sheard of Sheard Auctioneers as the 

a u c t i o n e e r. 

On offer were 50 rams (boerbok, 

Ile de France, dormer and white 

dorper), 24 bulls (Angus, Brahman, 

Simmentaler, Winterberger and 

Boran) and 30 young maiden 

Boergoat ewes. 

The Boergoat rams of Stephanus 

Malan and Eli Klopper averaged 

R4 900, with the top price of R7200 

sold by SW Malan to ZA Quwe from 

Whit tlesea. 

Ile de France rams belonging to 

Brian and Robert Miles averaged 

R7 167, with two of them fetching the 

top price of R8600 being sold to 

Willie Kilian of Kirkwood and Attie 

Steyl of Stutterheim. 

Dormer rams offered by Francois 

Norval averaged R7214 with the 

top-priced ram sold for R7800 to 

Hugh Ainslie of Spring Grove in the 

Bedford district, who also bought the 

most expensive Winterberger bull 

from Johannes Norval. 

The top-priced bull of the day was 

a Simmentaler sold by Johannes 

Norval to Wentzel Broers from the 

Adelaide district. 

Special thanks were offered to the 

sponsors who have supported the 

sale during the years. The buyers of 

the highest-priced bull and ram also 

received an EPK handmade whip and 

wine. The sellers were all dressed in 

sponsored shirts and all registered 

buyers received a Smaldeel B&R cap. 

The 20th sale will take place next 

year on September 6 and the club 

plans to make it an occasion not to 

be missed. – Rep reporter

fared well in the Hirsch and SF 

Edwards Shield competitions in Port 

Elizabeth at the weekend. 

Mikaa-il Mohamed broke two 

records in the under-16 section of the 

SF Edwards competition. He set a

the previous record of 10.8s which

He also set a new 200m record. 

His time of 22.0s was an 

improvement on the previous record

Hangklip won the sprint cup in the 

SF Edwards competition. The four 

sprinters involved were Anré J van 

Rensburg, Mikaa-il Mohamed, JW

Kia Motoring Monthly 

Kia Cerato – elegance on the road 

THE first word that comes to mind 

when seeing the Kia Cerato 1.6 is 

elegance. Flattered by a sleek design 

and an interior which complements 

its exterior, the Kia Cerato is a 

vehicle which conveys its passengers 

in grand style, writes Sonja Raasch. 

The four-door sedan in a metallic 

grey which was the subject of the 

test drive, drew some admiring 

glances during a trip through 

Komani. 

The smooth transition of the gears 

during the drive was immediately 

notable while the engine roared 

peacefully through the town’s 

streets. The grey and black design 

of the fabric seats adds to an 

impression of style in a vehicle 

which would be as well suited to the 

family zipping to their various ports 

of call as to the individual wanting 

to arrive at his or her destination in 

comfort. 

The back seats boast Isofix labels 

which indicates that the Kia Cerato 

meets the international standard for 

attachment points of child safety seats 

in passenger cars which is sure to put 

any mom’s mind at ease. 

The boot has ample space to allow 

even the most ardent packer to fit in 

their luggage while there is ample 

leg space for passengers. The grill in 

front is distinctive and accommodates 

the lights in a comprehensive front 

package which is pleasing on the eye. 

I loved the extra cubbyhole-like 

space between the driver and the 

passenger which allows for those little 

extras to be safely and neatly stored 

away during travel. 

advertising feature 

The cockpit of the Kia Cerato 

is conveniently laid out for 

accessibility by the driver and front 

passenger and holds all that is 

needed to ensure that every trip is 

a pleasure. 

Accessories include Bluetooth 

connectivity, cruise control, autolocking 

doors, electric windows 

and remote controls on the steering 

wheel. It has a great sound system 

too to cut that time spent in traffic 

a bit shorter. 

The Kia Cerato 1.6 is an absolute 

pleasure to drive – it has all the 

elements of a smooth and secure 

ride wrapped into one good-looking 

passage. 

To find out more, contact Kia in 

Komani on (045) 8397194 or visit

OUNG pugilists in the U15 and U16 age 

groups will face off in the junior boxing 

trials for boys and girls at the Mlungisi 

Boxing Centre this weekend. 

Chris Hani Amateur Boxing Organisation 

(CHABO) secretary Mabuti Mapeyi said the trials 

were in preparation for the Steve Tshwete 

Provincial Games from November 28 to 

December 2 in East London. 

“Unfortunately, there are no nationals set to 

take place after the provincial games. 

“The provinces are still negotiating and there 

are hopes that by next year there might be 

national games as well,” he said. 

Mapeyi said the South African Local 

Government Association (Salga) Games and the 

Premier Games had been the forerunners of the 

Steve Tshwete Games in the Eastern Cape with 

codes accommodated including boxing, 

seven-a-side rugby, netball, soccer and volleyball 

These games were merged to form the Steve 

IT WAS AMAZING: The Liquor-ish All Sorts had a great time at the 

Stutt hockey festival 


Tshwete Games last year. 

Soccer and netball trials will be held at the 

Dumpy Adams stadium and rugby trials at the 

Mlungisi Stadium. 

He said competing at provincial level was a 

great boost for boxers as they could be invited to 

participate at other tourneys based on their 

per formance. 

Stutt hockey 

fest is a winner 

THE Stutterheim Country Club’s 

annual hockey festival drew 18 teams 

from as far afield as Komani, Port 

Alfred, Cradock, Grahamstown and 

East London at the weekend. 

The festival has shown growth, 

with this year’s number of teams 

increasing from last year’s 13. 

A total of 10 women’s and eight 

men’s teams did battle with Brenda 

and Clinton Schwartz from 

Stutterheim the conveners. 

The format was seven-a-side 

hockey with rolling substitutions. 

Each team had about 10 players. 

At the end of Sunday afternoon it 

was the women’s team of Bohemians 

who won, with Rhodes the 

runners-up. In the men’s section, the 

Port Alfred team took top honours 

with the Stutt Invitation XI as 

runners-up. 

The women’s player of the 

tournament was Jamie-Lee Marais of 

Phoenix from East London. The men’s 

player of the tournament was Dale 

Middleton from the Stutt Invitation 

team. - Rep correspondent

IT WAS heartbreak for 

Queen’s College as it lost 

the Hirsch Shield for U19 

athletics – an honour it 

had claimed for the past 

15 years – during the 

centenary celebrations of 

the event in Port 

Elizabeth at the weekend. 

The results for the 

Hirsch shield, SF Edwards 

trophy (U16) and Sammy 

Gunn shield (U14) were 

not available, but Queen’s 

managed to secure third 

spot with Grey High 

School claiming the 

Hirsch Shield and St 

Andrew’s College taking 

second place. 

Queen’s shared the 

Mosenthal Cup for sprints 

with St Andrew’s and won 

the Olivier CUP for 

throws. 

Queen’s also won the 

Louis du Plessis cup for 

field events.
