officials, the cooperative governance and
traditional affairs department (Cogta) and
the business sector of the municipal area
discussed a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) – aimed at putting
the local authority back on a winning track
– in East London yesterday.
The Rep reported (“Crisis stations”,
October 20) that the municipality was
facing a financial crisis and owed Eskom
R40.8-million while the local authority also
faced the possibility of not being able to
pay staff.
A meeting between the local business
sector, EMLM and other government
stakeholders resolved to put a crisis
committee in place to address the financial
situation and related service delivery
challenges.
Border Kei Business Chamber
chairwoman Adre Bartis confirmed the
proposed MOU was discussed in East
London yesterday.
In the meantime, municipal officials had
been deployed to three work streams –
human resources, finance and
infrastructure – as part of an effort to
address existing challenges. They would
report back to Cogta and the public sector
on progress made.
A steering committee involving the office
of the premier, Cogta, the Eastern Cape
Socio-Economic Consultative Council,
business and the Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipality was also being set up.
A representative from the Municipal
Infrastructure Support Agent would also be
looking into the water issues, including the
Xonxa Dam pipeline supply delays.

Under-collection puts CHDM in a spot
ANDISA BONANI
C
HRIS Hani District Municipality
(CHDM) was struggling to collect
revenue from its debtors which
was, in turn, having a negative impact
on service delivery.
A report on the financial state of the
district municipality, tabled at an
ordinary council meeting at the Queens
Casino and Hotel on Tuesday, showed
that for the first quarter ending
September 30, a total of R50.9-million
had been billed by the local
municipalities for both water which
contributed R38.8-million (13%) and
Still no news on when
post office will reopen
ANDISA BONANI
IT REMAINS unclear when the
Ezibeleni post office will reopen
its doors for business.
The post office was gutted in
December 2015, destroying
documents and equipment.
A worker, who declined to be
named, said the building was
completed three months ago
and there was uncertainty as to
why it was not open.
Panel to decide on municipal manager
ANDISA BONANI
ENOCH Mgijima Local
Municipality (EMLM) executive
mayor Lindiwe
Gunuza-Nkwentsha, OR Tambo
district municipal manager Owen
Hlazo, a Cogta representative
and ANC councillor Noluthando
Nqabisa will sit on the panel to
select the local authority’s new
municipal manager.
EMLM has been without a
sanitation which contributed
R12.2-million (4%) to the total revenue.
The municipality only managed to
collect R3.4-million.
CHDM executive mayor Kholiswa
Vimbayo said the non-compliance of
debtors was a major concern.
“We must ensure that the
municipality is paid within the 30-day
period. We need to monitor the revenue
that is spent by the municipality and
ensure that it translates to services
delivered to communities. This would
assist us to balance and review our
per formance.”
The mayor urged municipal officials
Post Office spokesman Martie
Gilchrist said an advert had
been sent out for the branch
manager position.
“We are still busy with the
evaluation and vetting process
which takes a while to complete,
so it is difficult to say when the
post office will reopen.”
She apologised for the
inconvenience and said it was
hoped that it would reopen
soon.

Tsolwana, Lukhanji and Nkwanca

Council speaker Mzoxolo Peter
said he did not have the master
list that consisted of all the
applicants’ names and that
strategic executive officer
Donovan van Wyk was supposed
to be in the meeting with the list,
but was not there.
Gunuza-Nkwentsha was also
to ensure that creditors were paid as
well within the 30-day period.
The report indicated a total consumer
debtors’ balance of R1.1-billion, ranging
between zero days to more than a year,
with about R1-billion being more than
90 days in arrears.
ANC councillor Nozibele Makanda
said if the current situation regarding
revenue collection remained, the
municipality would be in trouble due to
under-collection of funds.
“Council resolved in our last financial
year that there would be interest added
if debtors failed to make payments at
the beginning of July. We thought this

mayor Luleka Gubula present.
According to the Government
Gazette, the selection panel for
the appointment of a municipal
manager must consist of three
and not more than five
members.
It must comprise the mayor as
the chairperson, a councillor
designated by the municipal
council and at least one other
person, who is not a councillor

municipality, who has expertise
in the area of the advertised

would encourage them to pay, but that
did not happen. We even held road
shows and walk-ins to businesses.
While we understand the
socio-economic conditions of our area,
something has to change. We are also
targeting officials and councillors
across all the six local municipalities to
ensure that not a single one fails to pay
their accounts.”
Audit committee chairman Jackson
Mbawuli said if the municipality
collected R1-billion each quarter, there
would be a positive difference regarding
service delivery.

businesses were failing to pay what was
due to the municipality.
“I am also going to put municipal
officials and councillors to shame. How
can one be working for the municipality
and still contribute to the problem we
are trying to fight? There are municipal
workers here who do not pay their rates
and it is important for us to lead by
example,” Koyo said.

United Front councillor Aaron
Mhlontlo cautioned anyone who
would “frust rate” the
appointment process and urged
the speaker to call a meeting if
anyone tried to sabotage the
process.
DA councillor Zuko Mandile
said the panelists should consist
of members from various
political parties and not only that
of the majority.
Swift action halts
theft of diesel drums
RESPONSE officers reacting to an alarm,
apprehended a man who had allegedly broken into
a local business last week, operations manager
Willie Reynecke said.
Reynecke said the suspect was released as
nothing had been stolen and the owner declined
to open a case.
The swift reaction of response officers working
in conjunction with security officers at a local
business, prevented the theft of drums of diesel
and oil last week. No-one was apprehended.
A suspect was handed over to the police and
stolen goods recovered after a man tried to flee
after allegedly stealing goods from a local store
last Wednesday.
Reynecke said a suspect was handed over to the
police after allegedly threatening to stab a local
store owner last Thursday.
On Saturday, a man who was allegedly under
the influence of liquor and causing problems at a
local club, was handed over to the police. – Rep

Land use must be productive
ANDISA BONANI

ANDISA BONANI
ESTERN Cape premier
and DA politician
Helen Zille told
Tentergate villagers
that choosing the DA meant
choosing jobs instead of poverty.
Zille spoke at the community
hall on Saturday, encouraging
community members to vote for
the DA.
She said if they kept voting for
the same political parties as in
the past, they should not be
surprised if their situation did not
change.
“The EFF wants to politicise the
land issue more than ensuring
that it is used productively to
alleviate poverty, especially in
the Eastern Cape,” Zille said.
“Having land does not mean
anything if you do not produce
anything from it. This province
has the most fertile land and rain
than anywhere currently – if its
people used it wisely, more could
come out of it.”
EMLM starts cleaning up along road leading to Ezibeleni
THE road leading to Ezibeleni
seems to be much cleaner than
it was two weeks ago.
The Rep recently told (“Lit ter
out rage”, October 6) about
illegal dumping along the road
to Ezibeleni which was turning
the area into a tip site.
DA supports proper land restitution providing food, jobs
She said President Jacob Zuma
was enriching himself and his
family, destroying businesses in
the country in the process.
Zille added that if the DA came
to power in the Eastern Cape, it
would do all it had promised.
A fundraising dinner at the
Queens Casino and Hotel
followed with Zille reacting to a
question on the redistribution of
land during a
question-and-answer session.
“The DA is very clear when it
comes to land, our focus is to get
both land restitution and
redistribution right. We strongly
support land restitution where
people have valid land claims but
we want that land to become
productive because we need all
available land to produce food
and jobs.
“Currently this is not
happening and the failure rate of
restituted land is massive. Some
Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipalit y’s (EMLM)
communications officer Gcobani
Msindwana confirmed this week
that 50 people from various
areas who live close to the tip
site, had been employed, to
minimise travelling time.
“EMLM has an extended
public works programme that
seeks to address unemployment
people have land but it has not
done anything to change their
circumstances because the entire
productive capacity of their land
has been destroyed. The Eastern
Cape should be one of the
world’s biggest food economies
because it has much greater
riches than gold,” Zille said.
She said that in 90% of claims
of the successful claimants have
opted to take money rather than
the land itself, which indicated
that people believed that their
future was not in farming but
in urban areas.

Msindwana said there was no
control at the site during the
municipal strike and no
compaction and covering of
waste had taken place.
Community members started
dumping waste outside the site
instead of going inside as
expected.
Ezibeleni ward councillor
Dumisani Njozela said a call was
being made to residents who
dumped refuse to stop doing so
in order to ensure a clean
environment for all.

– the tip site was accessible free

keeping the environment clean.

running his 100th parkrun to join Club 100
and earn his black shirt.
Well done to the seven runners who
achieved new personal best times and to
Zach Friess on completing his 10th parkrun
and becoming our newest member of Club 10.
On Saturday, 51 local athletes completed
Event #157 in rather chilly weather. Tomorrow
will be Stutterheim parkrun’s third birthday.
Please join us for a little trot around the golf
course, cake and some bubbly to celebrate
our milestone. With the assistance of
enough volunteers we plan to run the route
in reverse. Thank you to everyone who has
supported the parkrun over the past three
years – runners, walkers, locals, visitors,
dogs, children and especially the dedicated
team of volunteers.
Road safety issues highlighted

WELL DONE: Kaylee Puchert won the

Country Club ladies’ hockey awards braai
last Sunday
THE transport depar tment’s road
safety unit hosted its annual
Safe Kids day at Stony Croft
Junior Secondary School in
Cacadu (formerly Lady Frere) on
Fr i d ay.
The aim of the campaign was
for the community to raise
issues pertaining to t raffic
safet y.
These included pupils having
to cross the busy R410 between
Cacadu and Cala on a daily
basis.
Present were other
government stakeholders,
including the traffic department,
departments of health and social
development.
Manager of safety and
transport Hadley Smith said they
had met with community and
school leadership structures,
coming up with four
interventions: engagement,
education, enforcement and
e va l u at i o n .
“We have engaged with the
South African National Road
Agency (Sanral) because of the
road from Cacadu to Cala. They
will look at our proposals and
send engineers.”
The second goal was to
educate the pupils and
community members about road
safet y.
“The reason we chose Stony
Croft Junior Secondary School,
is because of the unfortunate
incidents that have happened
over the past few years with
pupils being killed by speeding
vehicles.”
The third intervention –
enforcement – would involve
tasking the traffic department to
devise a plan to reduce
speeding on the road while the
final intervention – evaluation –
would aim at the community
checking to see if measures put
in place were effective.
Stony Croft pupils, teachers
and parents displayed placards
calling for safer drivers.
Principal Phumzile Thobeko
said the school had written to
Sanral about road safety.
“It is the first time we are
having an event like this. We got
a response from the Chris Hani
District Municipality and the
department of transport. We do
not have road patrols to assist
pupils in crossing the road.”
Last year, a pupil, Luzuko
Madolo, died after he was hit by
a car while crossing the road.

THE REPRESENTATIVE 3 November 2017
EDITORIAL
OPINION
The first line of
accountabilit y
CHRIS Hani District
Municipality council
speaker Mxolisi Koyo said
a true thing on Tuesday.
He asked how municipal
officials and councillors could
be working for the same
authority to which they owed
service charges, saying such
errant debtors should be put to
shame and that it was their
responsibility to lead by
example.
A few years ago, The Rep was
lambasted by some councillors
whose names appeared on a
list as owing money for rates
and service charges to the
former Lukhanji Municipality.
The Rep published the names
and some of those named took
umbrage at it.
The fact is that both the Chris
Hani District Municipality and
the new Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipality are struggling to
collect monies owed to them.
Less money means less (or no)
service delivery. While one
could still understand having to
chase a private individual for
payment, it beggars belief that
councillors and officials do not
pay their municipal accounts.
Councillors and most
officials, particularly those in
management positions, earn
handsome salaries for being in
the municipality’s employ. It
should therefore be logical that
they would pay their accounts –
it is, after all, a matter of
honour and responsibility
towards the greater community
and to the institution which
they have the pleasure to serve.
The problem is far greater,
however. Over the years, The
Rep has reported on huge
accounts owed by government
departments to the local
authorities. It is incredibly
disheartening – and indeed a
waste of manpower and
resources – having to beg
departments serving within the
same government to pay their
bills. As a monthly expense, it
should be a simple transaction
for government departments to
pay the municipalities for
services rendered.
Municipalities – whether local
or district – are facing an
increasingly uphill battle for
survival. These structures
should not be spending any
time chasing up councillors,
officials or departments for
m o n e y.
Pay up – it is as simple as
t h at .

Was the march just
political nostalgia?
LAST Monday, the # B l a c k M o n d ay
protest march that purported to be
highlighting the murder of farmers,
took place. The total number of
reported murders was 77, if my
figures are correct. The marchers
brought Johannesburg freeways to
a standstill.
Since this is South Africa, the
march or protest or whatever one
chooses to call it received mixed
reactions. I am sure that, to the
organisers, this was a successful
event as it put the issue they were
raising in the headlines.
However, the protest brought out
into the open the other side that
has been hidden – apar theid
nostalgia. Many
people, including
the DA, were
frantically trying
to put out this
fire and
condemned the
open display of
the old apartheid South African
flag. To crown it all, the gathering
sang the whole of Die Stem. Now
the questions many people have
been asking, are: What was the aim
of this march, was it achieved, was
such a march even necessary? Why
would people march for 77
murdered farmers in a country
where more than 19 000 murders
were recorded? In the same period,
we had more than 49 000 cases of
sexual assault and more than
140 000 cases of robbery with
aggravating circumstances.
Were these murders politically
motivated – could they be
classified as “genocide” as some
placards and protesters were
s ay i n g ?
It is estimated that there are
3000 commercial farmers in South
Africa. The statistics released say
there are 34.2 murders per 100000
people per day in the country and it
rises to 55.9 per 100000 in our
province.
Crimes in general are acts
determined by opportunities and
probability of success.
If one was sure to be arrested or
fail to accomplish any kind of
benefit, one would either think
twice about it or abandon it
altogether. That is what is called a
deterrent.
Seldom are people robbed in
broad daylight and in a crowd,
would-be assailants wait for the
cover of darkness and a place
where the victim is isolated and
unable to call for help or be
assisted easily.
The way farms
IN
TOUCH
... with Phumelele P Hlati
are set up fits
this scenario
per fectly.
Is it possible
that the main
driving forces
behind the farm robberies (and
sometimes assaults and murders)
are the greater chances of success
seeing that farms are isolated? Are
they crimes of opportunity or are
there more sinister motives
underneath, as it is claimed? Were
the #BlackMonday marchers
genuinely highlighting a problem or
were they using this as a pretext to
engage in apartheid nostalgia? Did
the march reveal that the “rainbow
n at i o n ” of Mandela was just a
veneer?
Is it a situation that white lives
matter more than most? It is never
nice to score political points when
lives are lost, whether white or
black. Crime in general is a
problem in South Africa, so to give
it a colour will do more harm than
good. No particular group is
targeted, we are all at risk, period.

FACE 2 FA C E
Question: Name three people, dead or
alive, with whom you would like to
have supper and why?
Answer: Mongezi – he is my mentor,
my “go-to guy” and my motivator, a man
who plays a huge role in my life’s
decisions. My late aunt, aunt Nozipho,
who loved me wholeheartedly and a
woman who made me believe that I can
become anything I desire with prayer,
faith and hard work. My late grandmother,
who unfortunately died earlier this year.
She was a strong woman, with a great
sense of humour. There was never a dull
moment around her. Even when my days
were dark, I would call her and I would
feel alive again.
Q: Why did you choose this particular
p r ofe s s i o n?
A: I chose retail because I enjoy seeing
happy customers, interacting with
different people on a daily basis and
learning their sense of style, fashion and
learning a lot of different customer
b e h av i o u r.
Q: What makes you angry?
A: I never really get angry, because I
believe that life is too short to be having
negative vibes around you.
Q: What is your motto in life?
A: “Love like your heart has never been

Q: What motivates you to wake up and
chase your dreams?
A: My mother and brother are my
motivation, because seeing them happy
because of me makes me feel good about
myself and that means more blessings for
me.
Q: Do you think you have accomplished
almost all of the goals that you set at
the beginning of the year?
A: I am not even close to it. I still
believe I have the potential to achieve
more.
Q: Where do you see yourself in the
next five years?
A: I see myself as a successful young
woman with a big family and a lot of
travelling involved.
Q: Who is your role model?
A: My role model is my cousin,
Asanda Foji. I look up to her.
Q: What is the one thing you
would change about Komani?
A: Our entertainment side.
Komani has a lot of potential and
we are just not utilising that
enough. I want people from
other provinces to come to
Komani just to have fun.
Q: What makes you proud of
being a South African?

Chumani Mpepi
from Army Base
I think three is a perfect
number, as it is easier to
maintain the children.
Raising children is very
difficult and is strenuous
financially. The
unemployment rate is
very high, so having more
than three children is

Our standard of living is

is in junk status, so I
think two children should
be the maximum.

because having one child
is selfish, and sometimes

I think three is the
perfect number, because
it makes more sense to
have three as it will be
easy to maintain them.

Please, do a proper job
ARBOREAL of Komani writes: The tree growing
in the stormwater drain near the “hospital
bridge” caused a fair bit of interest and
everyone was pleased that the municipal
officials removed it quite promptly, before it
could cause too much damage (or so we
thought).
However, I note that the little tree is back and
is now about 30cm tall again.
This seems to indicate that the roots were
never removed and that the tree was probably
just cut off at ground level, so that it could not
be seen.
It does not take a genius to realise that unless
the roots are properly removed it will keep
coming back and continue to grow while the
roots continue to cause their own damage to
the drain and the street underground, where
they cannot be seen.
I appeal to the municipality to do the job we
pay them rates and taxes for, before there is
even more damage.

w r i te s : In the first
match of the 2017
Rugby World Cup
which kicked off on
October 27, Australia

How did England
score 4? I suppose a

only counts 4 points?
Is that so?
It also seems that
we will not see any

Hopefully the semis

W E AT H E R
IT seems we’re in for some more decidedly
warm weather and although there are some
partly cloudy days, the rain remains elusive.
Today is set to be mostly cloudy with a brisk
breeze. The minimum temperature was
predicted to be 14°C and the maximum 31°C.
Tomorrow there will be somewhat less cloud,
but the humidity will be high. Temperatures will
range between 14 and 28°C.
On Sunday it will again be partly cloudy,
starting off at 12°C and rising to 28°C at the
maximum. There will be just a gentle breeze. –

Floral feast in full bloom
THERE WAS floral beauty in all its
splendour at the Cathedral of St Michael

the weekend.
The festival has become an annual event
after having been revived in 2015.
The arrangements were done on Friday,
October 27 in anticipation of the weekend.
The theme for this year was “Parables of
Jesus” with about 30 arrangements
depicting the floral arrangers’ i n t e r p r e t at i o n

BOOKINGS are now open
for the annual Amatola
Classic car run, which this
year will be held on Sunday,
The event opened at 9am on Saturday
with a short service in the cathedral.
Churches, church groups and individuals
took part from Komani and the surrounding
towns of Tarkastad, Dordrecht and
Sterkstroom. Viewing took place on
Saturday from 9am to 5pm and on Sunday
10.30am to 5pm.
The organisers have thanked all who took
part and those who came to have a look.
The event will be scheduled for the last
weekend in October next year.
November 26.
This popular social event was
founded in 1991 by three
motoring enthusiasts, Frikkie
Viljoen, John Small and Clive
Morris, to commemorate the
gruelling Amatola Rallies of the
1950s.
The modern day
“A m at o l a ” has
become the
largest event on
the classic
motoring calendar
in the Border
region, growing
year by year and
including entries
from as far
afield as Komani,
Grahamstown and King
William’s Town.
A large contingent of
Komani participants is expected
this year. Anyone with an old,
classic or exotic vehicles is
welcome.
As in the past, the run will
start at The Hub in Beacon Bay.
There will be the traditional
coffee and doughnuts for
participants at the start.
Registration opens at 8am on
the day.
Clubs interested in group
bookings are welcome to
contact the organiser, Joyce
Hattingh, at the numbers
provided below.
Lunch is in Kei Road, hosted
by the farming community and
consisting of a cold buffet of
chicken, beef, mutton and pork
with salads, dessert and coffee.
The children’s menu is a
toasted cheese and tomato
sandwich followed by ice
cream.
Booking for the lunch is
essential, and this can be done
at Tiger Wheel and Tyre in
Devereux Avenue, East London.
Tiger Wheel and Tyre and
Plastic Arts and Signs are the
main sponsors of the event.
Additional attractions are a
flea market, a touch farm and
stalls selling fresh farm
produce. The pub will be open
to cater for the thirsty.
Meal tickets are on sale at
Tiger Wheel and Tyre at a cost
of R80 per adult and R25 per
child. Registration is R30 per
car, which includes indemnity

First valedictory
for Lonwabo
SIMTEMBILE MGIDI
LONWABO Public Primary School in
Ezibeleni celebrated their first-ever
Grade 7 valedictory last Thursday at
the Ezibeleni Community Hall.
The valedictory was also part of
the school’s annual prize-giving, said
principal Melikhaya Tywabi.
“The Grade 7 class is our first
Grade 7 class in the history of the
school and now we have to say
farewell to them.
“They have never given us any
problems. We believe they are ready
to go to Grade 8 next year.”
The afternoon was well organised
with the school choir and other
musical groups, such as Midorence,
who performed to a packed hall.
Among the guests were Ilifa
Foundation representatives, SGB
members and representatives of
Debonairs and Steers.
Tywabi said Ilifa Foundation
showed interest in the school when it
was repeatedly featured in The Rep
for their athletic achievements at the
beginning of the year and offered to
assist the school.
“Ilifa helped us generate ideas for
fundraising. They jumped on board to
help make the school better and
introduced us to Debonairs as
funders. Ilifa helped to develop sport
in our poorer community. I would like
to thank the parents of our pupils,
because we can not go forward as a
progressive school without them, to
my teachers who treat our pupils as
their own children and to all partners
who have joined to make the school
better for the pupils,” Tywabi said.
Ilifa Foundation chairman in
Komani Hayden Buchholz said the
principal was a dynamic leader.
“The first conversation the
principal and I had, it was clear what
he wanted to do with the school.
Lonwabo is a fantastic school. We
were invited to their PTA meeting and
the school was filled with parents.
“Being allowed to share a few
words on their first-ever valedictory
was an honour. I would like to
encourage the parents and SGB to
support the principal.”
Debonairs and Steers general
manager Gcobisa Ngcutwa said she
first noticed Lonwabo at the
SuperSport Physical Education
Challenge.
The business had since organised
rugby and soccer kit for the pupils
which would be handed over shortly.

More taverns than schools in EC
ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA
THE Eastern Cape had more taverns than
schools – a fact which was hugely
problematic, Eastern Cape premier
Phumulo Masualle said during the launch
of the Safer Festive Season campaign in
Komani on Tuesday.
He said an appeal had to be made to
parliament to cut down on tavern
numbers.
The SAPS, firefighters and the traffic
department were represented at the event
at the Thobi Kula Indoor Sports Centre.
Masualle urged communities to create
conditions favourable for employment
and said reporting criminal activity to the
police should be considered to be “cool
and fashionable”.
Warning on conman offering job for cash
ANDISA BONANI
LOCAL job seeker and graduate Nwabisa
Dinga has claimed she almost fell prey to
a conman recently.
Dinga, who graduated in 2013, said she
received a phone call recently from a man
who claimed to be from a municipality in
the Eastern Cape and who offered her a
job without her having applied for it.
“I have only been applying for jobs in
the Chris Hani District Municipality, so I
was surprised to receive a call from
someone in another district. The man
claimed to be in possession of my
curriculum vitae and I believed him
because he called out my personal
information, including my ID number and
the schools I attended.”
He advised community members to not
take the law into their own hands.
“The police will arrest perpetrators with
the information you provide.”
He said the wrecked car which was put
on display at the event symbolised the
effects of negligent driving, speeding and
drinking and driving.
“This translates to families losing
breadwinners and children becoming
orphans.”
Masualle said communities needed to
be able to respect the police.
“We want the police to abide by the
law. There should be no police who are
working with criminals. Such people
belong in prison with offenders.”
Transport, Safety and Liaison MEC
Weziwe Tikana said the campaign was for
the people of the province to commit
Association to improve

SIVENATHI GOSA
FREE State University Bachelor of
Education graduate Amanda Charles,
24, has established a student
association, Ikamva leAfrka Education
Foundation, which aims to assist pupils
from disadvantaged schools in Komani
with their education.
Charles, who is an intern teacher at
Get Ahead College, said the project
had initially been piloted in the Free
S t at e .
The programme aims to help pupils
overcome language barriers as it was
of great concern that the Eastern Cape
continued to produce a low Grade 12
pass rate.
“I was part of a programme that was
established by former US president
Barack Obama, the Young African
Leaders Initiative, which is about how
to improve the development of the
continent.”
She said she wanted to achieve
similar aims in Komani and the Chris
Hani district.
“I will offer it free, because children
from disadvantaged backgrounds can
not afford to pay for extra classes.”
She was working with the education
department to ensure viable school
pass rate statistics.
“I want to start a correlation where I
put a pupil from a former Model C
school with a pupil from the township
school so that they share their
knowledge. My vision is to get the
schools from developed schools to
open their facilities for the pupils from
disadvantaged backgrounds,” said
Charles.
She was currently registering the
non-profit organisation and would have
a meeting with stakeholders to
introduce more information about the
project.

DOING GOOD: Amanda Charles at
the Young African Leaders Intiative
Dinga said the man, whose name is
known to The Rep, said there had been
interviews the previous day and since two
people had not shown up, he was offering
the job to her if she would give him some
money for a “cold drink”.
A “cold drink” is popular lingo for a
bribe in exchange for a favour.
Dinga told the man that she did not
have money as she was still seeking
employment but the man asked for her
m ot h e r ’s number.
Dinga’s mother Viwe confirmed that
she received a phone call from the man
who told her about her daughter’s job
application and asked her to deposit
R4 500.
“I was confused and scared that it was
a scam so I asked the man if we could

safer communities.
Tikana said Operation Asiqhelwa, which
advocated no tolerance, had started.
“We do not want people in unlicensed
tarvens. Such places will be closed and
the oalcohol will be confiscated.”
Tikana urged those who were about to
host initiation ceremonies, to end
ceremonies early.
Eastern Cape Provincial Police
commissioner Lieutenant-General Liziwe
Ntshinga said parents should teach
children about safety and always leave
them with a responsible adult. if they
were away.
Ntshinga also urged community
members to encourage the police but
also to report bad behaviour by members.

money. He refused, saying he was far
away and when I insisted, he put down
the phone.”
Dinga, who holds a degree in
governance and political transformation,
said people should not send money to
anyone selling jobs.
“There are people out there who are
desperately looking for jobs who would
fall for such scams and deposit huge
sums of money to someone who is
probably lying about who they are. People
need to be careful and only accept jobs
that are offered through the right
channels.”
The Rep tried to call the number the
women had received calls from, but it
remained unanswered.

PRIMEPROPER TY
A good agent
is the answer
SO YOU’RE looking
at buying – or
renting – a house?
Or maybe you are
ready to sell and move
on?
How do you get
through the process in
the easiest and most
efficient manner?
The answer is simple:
use an estate agent.
While some people
opt to go the private
route, as is their good
right, it might raise
challenges during the
process.
Estate agents are
expected to be
qualified and have to
write regular exams to
ensure that they stay
up to date with the
demands, trends and
requirements of the
industr y.
If they do not know
something, they are
expected to find out.
Estate agents
understand the
legalities of every sale
and/or rental and are
able to assist with
expert advice.
In addition, the
Estate Agency Affairs
Board of South Africa
oversees the work of
estate agents and
ensure that the
integrity of the
profession is
safeguarded in
dealings between
agents and their
c u st o m e r s .
The board regulates
and controls activities
of estate agents in the
public interest.
Estate agents are
also able to highlight
the positive points of
homes and relay
important information
on location and, if
you’re selling, the
estimated asking price
within the marketplace
while organising “open
d ay s ” where
prospective buyers can
view your home, taking
the related hassles off
your hands and saving
you time.
Need some tips on
how to make your
home more attractive
to buyers? Look no
fur ther.
If you are not sure
what you’re looking for
in a home, estate
agents can also help to
guide you in the right
direction to ensure that
your dreams of buying
do not turn into a
nightmare.
The vast majority of
estate agents have
their best interests of
their clients at heart.
Your success will, in
turn, mark their future
success.
Consider seriously

S’bura out on
loan to Kings
MAXWELL LEVINE
FORMER Queenian Sibusiso
“S’bura” Sithole, who was
raised in Komani, is on loan to
the Kings.
Sithole is a quiet and
hardworking rugby-loving
player, who burst on to the
scene when he scored one of
the greatest tries in the history
of South Africa Sevens –
against Australia.
After coming through the
ranks at the Sharks, he firmly
established himself as an
important player for the
KwaZulu Natal side. He was
also a member of the South
African U20 side in 2010 and
the South African Sevens from
2010-13. He represented the
Sharks in both the Vodacom
Cup and Currie Cup
competitions. The
winger/centre also
played 33 times for the
Sharks in Super Rugby.
During the last year
or so, with the
abundance of
talent coming
through at the
Sharks, the 27-year-old has
found it hard to obtain a
regular place in the team. He
and three of his teammates at
the Sharks were loaned to the
Kings for the PR014. Together
with loose forward Khaya,
Majola, scrumhalf Rowan
Gouws and hooker Stephan
Coetzee they were loaned to
gain valuable game time as
well as participate in a new
tournament, against new
opposition in venues they have
never played before.
With age on his side, we hope
to see a lot more of S’bura.
