Enoch Mgijima municipality

directors come under fire

Bribery, appointment, negligence allegations

ABONGILE

SOLUNDWANA and

NTSIKELELO QOYO

Three senior Enoch

Mgijima municipality

directors have come

under fire as council probes

allegations of bribery,

appointment without

credentials and gross negligence

that has compromised the

functioning of the municipality.

The Enoch Mgijima council

launched investigations into the

directors of technical services,

community services and

corporate support service after a

heated in-committee session last

week.

Community services director

Linda Bolani is being

investigated for bribery, nonprocedural

procurement of PPE

and negligence of duties.

The appointment of

technical service department

director, Nkosinkulu

Zwelethemba, was put on ice

after it came to light he was not

a member of the engineering

professional board, a

requirement for the post. He

was due to start on Monday.

Meanwhile, corporate

support services director, Xolani

Makeleni, is facing allegations

of misconduct, gross dereliction

of duty and gross

insubordination, charges

brought by his overseer,

municipal manager, Nokuthula

Mgijima.

In a closed council sitting, a

report was tabled by

information technical services

portfolio head, Noluthando

Nqabisa on how Zwelethemba

was appointed. She said all the

necessary steps laid down by

regulations for appointment of

senior managers were followed.

The report was rejected

because Zwelethemba was not

registered with the engineers

body and his appointment had

bypassed the administrator’s

office.

United Front councillor

Aaron Mhlontlo said he should

never have even been

shortlisted.

“Nqabisa indicated that she

was going to reactivate his

membership. I object to that.

“He is not a member and

there is no way that one can

reactivate their membership.

“If he is not a member it is

the same as if we have not

employed a technical service

director. We will still have to

make use of consultants. There

are places he will not gain

access to. It will be just a waste

of time,” said Mhlontlo.

The administrator,

Monwabisi Somana, then

presented an item about three

pending allegations against the

community services director,

Bolani.

The first related to a formal

complaint brought to his office

by Mhlontlo over a circulating

voice note which made it seem

as if Mhlontlo was soliciting a

bribe from Bolani. Somana said

the mayor needed to act on the

allegations.

He also alleged Bolani had

procured PPE worth R390,000

without following procurement

processes. The council resolved

on an investigation into Bolani.

Corporate support services

director, Makeleni, was under

the gun after the MM tabled a

report with accusations that

included terminating contracts

without permission, appointing

managers for various

departments without following

policy, and failing to perform

required duties that led to the

municipality not providing

refuse collection.

Mgijima called for Makeleni

SPREADING POSITIVITY

to be placed under suspension

while council approved an

investigation into his conduct

which, according to the report,

“disrespected and defied the

municipal manager” and led to

“irregular, fruitless and wasteful

expenditure and brought the

name of the municipality into

d i s r e p u t e .”

EMLM spokesperson,

Lonwabo Kowa said Makeleni

had not been suspended as yet.

“The MM will, after

Bolani told The Rep to

Tears, joy as pupil receives the 1965 Ride bursary fund

ZINTLE BOBELO

It was a moment of pure joy and

uncontrollable tears when a Grade 7

Hangklip Primary School pupil

surprised his parents by telling them he

was one of the recipients of the 1965

Ride Bursary and Scholarship Fund on

We d n e s d ay.

Queenstown Education Foundation

stakeholder relations manager

Jacqueline Wijtenburg said the

foundation was formally started in

2013 with a vision to transform the

town into a universally recognised

centre of educational excellence, and

currently ran six programmes.

“A total of R121,000 was awarded

and divided between each member

school to offset against school fees of

the successful bursary recipients.

“This is to help them retain

exceptionally dedicated and talented

pupils in situations where those

learners’ families are experiencing

severe financial challenges.”

Wijtenburg said the money was

raised by the 1965 Ride Cycle for

Education annual tour that sees cyclists

traversing 850km between

Johannesburg and Komani.

“QEF has a long-standing

partnership with the 1965 Ride fundraiser,

an initiative of the Johannesburgbased

non-profit Education

Endowment Fund [EEF] which

facilitates the bursary award

programme among its member schools.

“The EEF has more than R1m

invested in an endowment fund to

ensure the sustainability of the bursary

p r o g ra m m e .” She said the bursary

programme facilitator (QEF)

adjudicated bursary applications and

made recommendations to the

independent board of the EEF.

The first of the bursary fund was

awarded last week, with the rest

handed over to the beneficiaries this

week.

The member schools are Queen’s

College Boys’ High, Queen’s College

B oy s ’ Primary, Queenstown Girls’

High, Balmoral Girls’ P r i m a r y,

Hangklip Primary, Queenstown Get

Ahead Project, Southbourne, Get

Ahead College, WhitGAP and Stepping

Stone Junior School.

“The majority of the bursaries

awarded were to the value of R11,000

each and cover a large portion of their

school fees. The recipients all come

from disadvantaged backgrounds and

hold a record of extraordinary

academic and extra-curricular

dedication and performance,” she said.

Wijtenburg said this year’s Queens

Junior bursary was to be named the

1965Ride Lester Pike Bursary in honour

of the late headmaster who passed

away suddenly last month. Addressing

the beneficiary in a virtual zoom

meeting at Hangklip Primary this week,

EEF board member Nathi Tyembile

said: “I am speaking on behalf of many

people who are sitting behind their

desks here in Johannesburg and other

parts of the country. All we see is the

black and white on paper.

“This was an opportunity to

experience the kind of decisions made

and the impact. Big congratulations to

the recipient. I think you have done

exemplary work. Continue to believe in

yourself and everything that you do.”

Hangklip Primary School principal

Henko Serfontein honoured QEF and

the efforts made by the 1965 crew.

“We want to do the best we can for

our children and this boy has shown

me from my first year at the school that

he has the potential to reach the top

level, where we want all our children to

be. Financially it is not always possible

to support your child.

“I am so thankful to the QEF and the

1965Ride for the money they raise and

the difference they make in our

ch i l d r e n ’s lives. It is so worthwhile.”

Fans join local radio

hosts to help family

Seven children and four adults living in abject poverty

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

Three radio presenters in

Komani have teamed up with

their listeners to identify where

there is a need in the community to

make a difference in people’s lives.

Siphumelele Madze (aka

Mlungu), Lwando Ngalo (aka King

London) and Zolisa Dusubana, also

known as King Pin, host Ebukhosini

on Mondays to Wednesdays from 9

to 12pm on Lukhanji FM.

Ngalo said they had started the

initiative with a group of listeners

who were loyal to their show.

“We wanted to be useful so we

decided to form a WhatsApp group

to identify a need in the community

and make our contribution to assist

people.

“Our goal is to change people’s

lives by doing something

constructive instead of focusing on

what does not add value to our

l ive s ,” he said.

The team recently found out

about a needy family of 11, seven of

whom are children, living in a mud

house in dire conditions in Zola,

Lesseyton.

“The good news is that after we

spoke to ward 17 councillor

Mncedisi Mbengo to assist us, he

said the department of social

development was set to establish a

temporary structure, with plans to

build the family a new home,” Ngalo

said.

He added that they were also

collecting clothing to take to the

needy. They did not ask for money,

but welcomed any items people

were willing to assist them with.

“We will donate everything we

have managed to collect so far to the

family on Sunday.”

Thandolwethu Bobotyana, who

l ive s with his two sisters, their seven

children and 78-year-old mother,

said they had received a visit from

the radio presenters and their team

two weeks ago.

Bobotyana said they were all

unemployed and living in poverty,

relying on their elderly mother’s

pension.

“There are times when we

struggle with food and have to ask

other people for help.

“There were only two beds in the

house, but my mother’s is broken so I

had to give her mine.

“The rest sleep on the floor.”

He said the children included a

17-year-old boy, 14-year-old girl, 11-

year-old boy, six-year-old boy, sevenyear-old

girl, two-year-old girl, and a

baby of six weeks.

“The house was badly affected by

the strong winds and I recently had

to repair it.

“We also have a problem with a

leaking roof.

“To keep the house warm we

collect logs that we burn in a metal

c o n t a i n e r.

“There are many things we do not

have, including furniture.”

Anyone who would like to help

can contact Ngalo on 076-245 1616.

Mom, 4 children die in fire, leaving girl orphaned

ZINTLE BOBELO

Government departments and the business

fraternity have come together to assist a

devastated family after a mother and four of her

children died in a blaze at their home in Ngcobo

on Saturday, leaving an 11-year-old girl orphaned.

Police provincial spokesperson Brigadier

Tembinkosi Kinana said the circumstances

surrounding the incident were still unknown, and

that a case of arson was being investigated. He

said according to information gathered, residents

in Tshapile locality had heard people crying and

saw the flames early on Saturday morning.

“On arrival, it was discovered that a tworoomed

flat in which a 46-year-old mother,

Noxolo Deli, and her four children Zuko, 20,

Indiphile, 15, Ayamkela, 13 and Azipheli, nine,

were burnt in the fire.

“It is alleged that the house caught alight and

the family had difficulty escaping as the house

was burglar-proofed. All who were inside were

burnt beyond recognition,” said Kinana.

Engcobo Local Municipality mayor Siyabulela

Zangqa, who had received a call from one of the

members of the community, said the 11-year-old

girl had been at her grandmother at the time.

“We dispatched our fire services to the

premises to put out the fire. Unfortunately

everyone in the house had succumbed.”

He said the local municipality had made

interventions in aid of the grieving family.

“We have approached business people to

assist us. A contractor has committed to

rebuilding the house.

“They have made some quotations and will

come back and ensure that the house is rebuilt.

“We need to ensure that the dreams of the 11-

year-old child who is now left alone come true.

We need to work together with the business

community to cover the child’s school tuition as

well. It is important to seek services from the

social development department to offer

counselling for the remaining child.”

Social development provincial spokesperson

Mzukisi Solani confirmed that the department

had provided counselling and trauma debriefing

to the family members.

“An assessment was done for purposes of

what we call ‘social relief of distress’ in the form

of material support.

“Our social workers have also done

extremely well in assessing the emotional needs

of the classmates and teachers of the children.”

Solani said the department would also

He added that after Eastern Cape premier

MEC for human settlement, Nonceba Kontsiwe,

and her delegation paid a visit to the family,

bearing food parcels and to offer condolences.

“The department of human settlements is

saddened, but we are committed to building a

Council gives clarity

on recent AG reports

Assurance R1.4bn not written off as irregular expenditure

B E A U T Y: Kholo

Feni is one of the

finalists in the Miss

Schools Eastern

Cape 2021

pageant P i c t u re :

SUPPLIED

NTSIKELELO QOYO

The Chris Hani council

insists there was

nothing untoward in

the write-off of the previously

reported R1.4bn in irregular

expenditure that became a

sticky point with the auditor

general (AG) in her previous

report.

In a recent council

meeting, the chairs of the

municipal public accounts

committee (MPAC) and

performance audit committee

went into great detail to

clarify how council had come

to write off the amount and

outlined the implementation

of AG recommendations to

move towards improved audit

outcomes.

MPAC chair, Jongumzi

Cengani, said he was stunned

at the confusion around the

write-off. He was presenting

phase three of an MPAC

investigation into the amount.

“Part of what is out there is

entertaining this report in the

wrong way. MPAC was given

the responsibility by council

to make an investigation

about the R1.4bn which was

a concern because of its size.

“In the first phase back in

August [2020], it was stated

how the sums of R403m and

R127m did not meet the

definition of irregular

expenditure and [it was]

recommended they be

removed from the registers.”

In phase two, amounts of

R206m and R197m also did

not fit the irregular

expenditure definition and

had been recommended to

be written off, Cengani said.

“In phase three of the

investigation, we have come

to recommend that R277m

compromising of R192m be

written off and R82m be

removed because they also

do not meet the irregular

expenditure

definition.

“We are

then left with

R125m that

needs further

i nve s t i g a t i o n .”

Pe r f o r m a n c e

audit

committee

chair, Ananiah

OPEN MANDATE

Langa, reported on the status

of the implementation of the

AG findings and assured the

municipality was en route to

getting improved outcomes.

“In dealing with the

findings we appreciated that

management did not only

look at what the AG cited as

root causes [for the disclaimer

of opinion], they also looked

at those identified by the

internal audit committee.

“Most of the challenges

raised by the AG were the

same ones raised within the

internal audit committee.

“We looked at the

progress report on the

implementation of the

internal audit committee

recommendations and only

5% have been fully

implemented, 71% partially

and 24% not resolved, and

this is critical in improving

our audit outcome,” he said.

He, however, disputed

that R24m had been used for

consultants, as stated by the

AG: “We discussed recent

media reports emanating

from the AG report.

“Management briefed us

how the AG, when briefing

parliament, said that we paid

R24m for consultants to

prepare financial statements.

“Only an amount of

R1.2m was paid for

consultants and other

amounts were used for

something else. It appears we

had joined a number of

different items in one line and

thus the report,” Langa said.

Whittlesea teen

a Miss Schools

Eastern Cape

2021 finalist

ZINTLE BOBELO

Fifteen-year-old Kholo Feni from Whittlesea is

a few steps closer to realising her dream of

becoming a model.

The grade 9 Nkosemntu Motman High

School pupil is one of 15 Miss Schools Eastern

Cape 2021 finalists gunning for the coveted

c r ow n .

“Winning the competition would mean

the world to me because this is my dream. I

aspire to motivate young girls my age in that

everything is possible.”

She said the journey had not been easy but

had taught her some valuable lessons.

“In this journey I have also found sisters

who have supported me since day one.

“Modelling is not all about cameras, glitz

and glam. It is about confidence, not about

being better than the next contestant, but

about being great as a person and seeing that

greatness in someone else too.

“We need to lift each other up, fix each

other’s crowns and boost each other’s

c o n f i d e n c e .”

Feni said she drew inspiration from her

sister, Sandikazi Masala, 10.

Her aunt, Tandeka Feni, believed that the

opportunity to participate in the Miss Schools

pageant would take her to greater heights.

“She knows what she wants and is

dedicated to reaching her full potential. She is

destined for greatness and when I first heard

that she was taking part in the competition, I

knew it was something she deserved.”

Miss Schools EC organising committee

member Prince Whyte said after a decision to

put the beauty pageant on hold early this year

due to Covid-19 restrictions, the committee

had decided to proceed with the competition.

“We have 15 contestants from around the

province representing their schools in the

pageant. The crowning will be in December.

“The contenders have been given a task to

conduct awareness campaigns and

community projects as a build-up to the main

event. We want them to be comfortable

ploughing back to the community,” he said.

Adre Bartis will now serve as

district, which includes the

Queenstown, Lukhanji Sunset,

Stutterheim and King William’s

Luxolo Mkosana, the former

secretary, is now president of

the Lukhanji Sunset Rotary

Club.

“Rotary International is a

global organisation providing

humanitarian service and

advancing goodwill and peace

around the world. It is nonpolitical

and non-religious and

is open to everyone.

“My role is to ensure we do

what we say we are about,

which is service above self.

Serving people regardless of

their stature or title,” Bartis said.

When she was president

from 2020 to 2021, the

lockdown had a major effect on

their projects, she said.

They managed to be part of

the shoe box project with

Asanda Lisa at Christmas time.

“We handed over a few

boxes donated by community

members in Komani. We also

handed over food parcels to the

underprivileged during the

Covid drive and donated to

soup kitchens.”

One of their big quests was

getting a pre-school established

which was currently

NPO Deborah

Arise inspiring

women to

bring change

Call to reach out to homeless children

ZINTLE BOBELO

Local philanthropist Deborah

Stellenberg is challenging wo m e n

during national Women’s Month to

show compassion by reaching out to the

homeless.

“In as much as we celebrate our

positions in the corporate world, let us be

mothers and look out for one another’s

children, we need to be that village that

everyone used to talk about, that ‘it takes

a village to raise a child’.

“We need to reach out and address

issues of homeless children.”

In celebration of Women’s Month,

The Rep will feature phenomenal women

who significantly contribute to their

communities.

Stellenberg started her NPO in 2017,

having thought about it for a full year

before its inception.

The widowed former principal, who

has three children and t wo

granddaughters, said her organisation,

Deborah Arise, was birthed out of a

prayer meeting.

The NPO has a wide range of focus

areas, and consists of Stellenberg and 16

dedicated women whose hope it is to

make other people’s lives easier.

“As mothers we help children who are

struggling with addiction and homeless

children. We help the parents of those

who are battling addiction.

“Being one of the parents who is

struggling with a child with addiction

issues, I can relate to the pain of the

women and the mothers.

“We get clothes and food parcels

from the community which we distribute.

“We also give out sanitary towels to

s ch o o l s .”

Last year during the lockdown when

homeless people were placed in shelters,

the NPO sourced clothing and supplied

meals and toiletries to the needy.

They also assisted families who were

left homeless last year when a fire ripped

through Rhawutini informal settlement.

“We were in a great position to help

because the community was generous

and understood the time we were in. We

even had a surplus of blankets.

“The community of Komani is a

phenomenal place to live, despite all the

ch a l l e n g e s .”

Their biggest challenge was to get a

facility to carry out their services, she

said.

Discussing some of her future plans,

Stellenberg said her primary focus was to

establish a rehabilitation facility in

Ko m a n i .

“Many people have volunteered their

services. Doctors and pharmacists are

willing to assist if this comes together.

“I am eyeing the Gali Tembani Youth

Care Centre because it was built for that

purpose and would be an ideal place.

“We are also looking at having a skills

development centre.”

She said the centre would play a

crucial role in developing some of the

groups of people she worked with, which

included sex workers.

“They are frowned upon and given

many labels, but my thought is that

nobody wakes up one morning and

decides it is a good day to become a sex

wo r k e r.

“Something has gone horribly wrong

somewhere and my idea is to try find out

why it all happened, and to try fix that.

There is no such thing as a hopeless case.

“We are all part of this global family

and if we do not look after each other it

means that my grandchildren will sit with

the same problem.”

The team has established a school in

Cacadu, which is still in its infant stages.

“A woman is a resilient, strong person

who can bring comfort into any situation.

“She is someone who people depend

upon and sometimes underestimate.

“A woman is someone who is more

than capable of occupying spaces.

“That instinct that God has given us as

women - the nurturing aspect - I feel has

to come back because we have grown so

cold in many ways.

“I see how we as mothers walk past

someone who is suffering, struggling and

we do not even bat an eyelid. It saddens

me because that is not who we are.

“I would like to see a village of

women rising up together,” she said.

❝ I would like to see a

village of women

rising up together.

‘CERTIFIED QUEEN’: Queenstown Girls' High School pupil Emihle Velaphi with her work which received a

silver rating at the Western Cape virtual eisteddfod Picture: NTSIKELELO QOYO

Talented GHS pupil

obtains silver in eisteddfod

NTSIKELELO QOYO

Queenstown Girls’ High

pupil, Emihle Velaphi, is

making her mark in the art

space through her unique Africaninspired

pieces.

The Grade 12 pupil bagged a

silver medal in this year’s Western

Cape virtual eisteddfod (WCVE) for

her piece, Certified Queen.

The WCVE is a showcase for

visual and performing arts, and a

panel of experts adjudicates and

grades the work from merit, bronze,

gold and cum laude.

Velaphi said she was proud to

have been given 80% by the judges

for her piece, and that it was an

affirmation of her dream to pursue a

career in art.

“It feels unreal. I have always

had a passion for art since I was

School Fees

R500 pm

young. I remember telling my

mother I wanted a career in art. She

was a bit apprehensive but we

chatted and I taught her art and she

grew to understand it.

“Next year, hopefully I will be at

a university where I will be able to

study a bachelor of fine arts and later

I would like to open an art gallery,”

said Velaphi.

Velaphi said Certified Queen wa s

inspired by the way women

managed to overcome the many

challenges they faced.

Her piece’s red background

symbolises danger and trouble.

While the colour red can

symbolise romance, in this instance

it reveals “ a constant, present and

imminent danger”.

The patterns represent poison

turned into medicine, something

beautiful. In the foreground is a

strong African woman standing

upright, with her head up, showing

that despite the many troubles

women face, they still manage to

keep their heads up.

“She makes herself a queen,

hence she is the Certified Queen.”

In 2019, Velaphi got a gold

medal at the Belgravia eisteddfod.

Art teacher Christine Maclean

said Velaphi had all the tools to

become a serious artist.

“She has done very well. She

definitely has the potential to

become a good, serious artist in

South Africa one day. She has now

reached a level where she can

recognise her abilities.

“She is confident with her work.

It is unique. She uses mixed media,

but is her use of line, pattern and

vision linked to Africa which is

quite important.”

YO U R VOICE opinions on the street

What do you think about…

As the country celebrates

Wo m e n ’s Month, The Rep

reporter, Ntsikelelo Qoyo,

asked people in Komani who

some of the inspirational

women in their lives were and

w hy.

Ayanda Magqasha

from Westbourne

Obviously, it is my mom. She

raised me and I am the person I

am today because of her.

It is through her caring,

nurturing, discipline and

motivation that I am able to

pursue my goals and fulfil my

dreams.

Olona Msotyana

from Top Town

It is my mother, because she is

the strongest person I know.

She is very loving and caring.

She cares for all her children

and everyone around her. She

is a community builder

because where we live in Cape

Town she used to have a netball

team, gathering girls from

different backgrounds.

She used to organise takkies

for the less fortunate ones

among us and made sure they

could also go to trials.

Chuma Matwa

from Ezibeleni

Dr Mihlali Simama. She wrote

Grade 12 twice. She

persevered and is now a doctor.

She specialises as an

obstetrician and gynaecologist

and has her own practice here

in Komani.

Sinazo Zweni

from Mlungisi

My inspiration is my sister,

OLONA

M S O T YA N A

SINAZO

ZWENI

Noncedo Zweni.

She is a detective at the

family violence, child

protection and sexual offences

unit in Komani. She started as a

cashier and after three or four

years of volunteering with the

police, she was recruited.

She then pursued her

education until she qualified to

work as a detective, solving

rape cases.

Celeste Stone

from Top Town

There are not many women

AYA N D A

MAGQASHA

CHUMA

M AT WA

CELESTE

STONE

who do not inspire me – it

amazes me what women are

capable of. My staff members

are a daily inspiration to me;

they are perfect examples of a

wo m a n ’s strength.

Women set the tone at

home. We have the privilege of

bearing children and then we

help shape them into the adults

they become.

We have so many roles in

society. It is important for us to

remember to be gentle, caring

and nurturing. The world really

needs it.

IN OUR POSTBAG

People who

drink habitually

need purpose:

so make a list

Let me be straightforward because as

much as I consume alcohol, I hate

ove r- c o n s u m p t i o n .

Alcoholism is always the fault of

the alcoholic, the c o n s u m e r.

I advise people to approach the

use of alcohol cautiously as it destroys

lives and families.

For instance, what kind of woman

could stand for waking up next to a

husband whose mouth smells of

alcohol day in and out?

What makes people drink

excessively is a lack of purpose in life.

Not having something worthwhile

to do results in people frequenting

bars, lounges and shebeens.

People soon become better known

in those spheres than in other

significant areas of social life. What a

shame. Buckle up guys, here I come!

My advice is: List two or three

things you need to do the following

day. Go to sleep with them in mind

and set about doing them the next day.

Make this a routine and only drink

after achievements - cheers. It’s easy.

Needs a bit of thinking, hey!

Alfred Zanemvula Magatya

Reason many

react like kids

One of the greatest forms of

maturity is the ability to control

one’s emotions and responses

even under provocation or when

we don’t get our way.

People who are high on the

narcissistic spectrum are not

capable of self-control.

They have narcissistic

wounding from childhood and

solve issues mainly in two ways

– violence or escape/walking

out.

When you see yourself

turning violent in a discussion or

disagreement or walking away,

you still have some growing up

to do.

In the therapeutic language

of transactional analysis, we say

you have a child-contaminated

adult ego state.

You are not capable of

responding appropriately to

situations.

Instead of mature judgment

of the adult ego state helping you

to stay calm, composed and

sober, the child ego state takes

over and overrides the adult ego,

which is contaminated with child

ego state data.

In short, you are still fixated at

the childhood developmental

stage.

So you can be 40 years of age,

a doctor, engineer, and so on, but

with the emotional age and

maturity of a five-year-old.

That damage caused in

childhood needs to be treated.

You are still mentally stuck.

Violence is largely a form of

s i ck n e s s .

Walking away is also a child

ego state response.

For example, when a person is

opposed in a WhatsApp group

and then exits it immediately, this

is another red flag to watch for.

There are many of us (mothers

and fathers) out there who are still

little kids in terms of emotional

intelligence.

They are the straight line

thinkers who do not appreciate

that truth is dynamic.

Hanging w i re s

a danger to

residents, kids

Woman fears home can catch fire

LEANING POLE: Residents of Unathi Mkhefa in Ezibeleni

are concerned about low-hanging electricity wires that pose

a threat to the community Picture: ZINTLE BOBELO

ZINTLE BOBELO

Atilted electricity pole

with low wires hanging

close to an Ezibeleni

resident’s home, is highly

dangerous and causing her

sleepless nights.

“The cables are hanging

near the top of my house and

seven houses are connected to

that pole.

“My fear is that if it falls

down, my whole house will go

up in flames,” said Nomakula

N ya t h i .

“When there are strong

winds I struggle to sleep

because I am afraid of what

might happen.

“The pole emits a funny

sound which gives me

sleepless nights.”

Nyathi said it was a matter

of urgency but failed to

understand why the

municipality had not attended

to her plea.

“My worry is that there are

children who play in the

vicinity and whose lives are at

risk.

“All I want is for this to be

f i x e d .”

She said a woman who had

assisted her at the municipal

offices had told her to write

down her details, including

her home address, so the

matter could be attended to.

“I have reported this problem

to our ward councillor and

the Enoch Mgijima Local

Municipality offices.

“This is an ongoing

matter and I have made

numerous reports to the

relevant bodies. People came

in to fix some of the poles in

the area and I informed the

municipal workers, but they

could not assist at that time

because they said it was not

on their list. No one has

arrived yet.”

However, EMLM

spokesperson Lonwabo

Kowa said there were no

records of receipt of the issue

at the customer call centre.

“The municipality does

have a challenge of old

electricity poles that need to

be replaced.

“In 2020, electric poles in

Ezibeleni were replaced but

only those deemed critically

damaged and hazardous

were replaced.

“We encourage

community members to

report any such incidents to

the municipal call centre. For

this case, the matter has been

reported to the technical

team and members will be

dispatched to asses and

resolve it,” he said.

Doors opening wider for women, 65 years after

REP REPORTER

It has been 65 years since the march to

the Union Buildings in Pretoria to

protest against passes for women took

place on August 9 1956.

Today, there is still only one female

CEO in the top 40 of the JSE, Anglo

American Platinum’s Natascha Viljoen.

Though there is a long way to go

before women have a more equal place

at the boardroom table, there is progress

that is worth celebrating.

Initially a boys-only club (much like

all other industries at the time), the real

estate industry has since transformed

into one where women are a force with

which to be reckoned.

“RE/MAX was the first to open its

doors to female agents back in 1973

when the brand launched in Denver,

C o l o ra d o .

“Today, roughly 60% of our South

African network are women. Females

are also some of our highest earners.

“Last year, our Top Two Earning

Broker/Owners were both women,

namely Marieth Kloppers and Kobie

Potgieter. Our Top Individual last year

was also a woman [Narina Fischer] and

our Top Team last year was led by a

woman [Deanne Hamilton],” s ay s

Amanda Cuba, director and COO of

RE/MAX of Southern Africa.

Cuba herself is an example of a

successful woman within the RE/MAX

network. As the ex-CEO of the

diversified investment and management

consultancy group ZCAPITAL, Cuba

joined RE/MAX as a BEE partner at the

end of 2014 and assumed the role of

COO for the Southern Africa region.

Equipped with a BBusSc (Hons) from

UCT, Cuba worked her way up from the

humble streets of Gugulethu to the

RE/MAX executive team, joining coregional

owners Vicky Goslett (CMO)

and Adrian Goslett (CEO).

As a twin to yet another incredibly

successful woman in business – Yo l a n d a

Cuba, group chief digital and Fintech

officer at MTN – Amanda attributes her

success to both the circumstances of her

upbringing and the inspirational women

who helped raise her: “Our mom gave

us the belief that we can be anything

that we wanted to be.

“She encouraged us to be adventure

seekers and taught uswe are capable of

anything we put our minds to.”

Cuba provides the perfect example

of how the right attitude can empower

women to reach positions of power in

business no matter their background or

c i rc u m s t a n c e s .

“Times are changing and women are

capable of much more than they might

think possible,” she remarks.

A report in Lightstone Property’s July

newsletter reveals that “black females

own 215,000 more properties in 2021

than the 690,000 owned in 2011, while

white males own 40,000 fewer

properties than were owned in 2011

[down from 500,000]. This excludes

joint ownerships, which has remained

almost consistent over the period”.

“I encourage all females not to limit

their potential by falsely believing that

external forces will make it impossible

for them to become successful.

“Yes, the journey is likely to be more

challenging, but with the right attitude

and determination, anything is possible.

“Whether you are aiming to one day

afford your own home or want to be the

second woman CEO to make it onto the

list of the JSE Top 40, never give up hope

and you never know where you might

just end up,” Cuba says.

‘Incompetence’ cause of

historical building’s demise

Shining the spotlight on

exceptional female PR role

models and mentors

SAD STATE: A homeless young man sits next to a heap of smouldering ash inside the vandalised

building that once housed the municipal art gallery

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

The vandalism and recent fire at

the building housing the

municipal art gallery was due to

the failed security system,

political interference and

incompetence in the human

settlement and safety

departments, Enoch Mgijima

Local Municipality councillor

Mncedisi Mbengo said.

The building, which was once

an economic hub for crafters from

Chris Hani rural communities to

put bread on the table, has

become a place for the homeless.

A few days before the fire, Th e

Rep reporter took a tour

with Mbengo and found a

homeless youth sitting near a

dying fire inside the building.

Heaps of ash from fires were

strewn through most parts of the

building.

Mbengo said the wooden

building could burn down.

The building has been

stripped bare of power cables,

taps, carpets, metal, ceiling

boards, windows and doors.

Sinks, toilets and doors have

been r e m ove d .

According to Mbengo, the art

gallery has collapsed under the

watch of more than 30 security

guards who are employed by

EMLM with monthly salaries.

He said when the homeless

youth had started to break into

the building, he had reported it to

the municipal human settlements

office.

“This is where I saw how

useless the safety department was

- the security guards, and the

person who manages them, if

there is such a person. This is

because the building was

destroyed under their watch.

“We have more than 30

security guards and about 50

working contractors were added

to ensure our buildings are safe.”

But Mbengo said the security

guards were nowhere to be seen,

but were quite familiar with

the municipality’s pay roll.

“The director of community

service is in charge of the safety

department. She must answer for

what it means to pay people who

are not doing their jobs while the

municipal building is collapsing.”

The councillor said he also

blamed himself because the

building was used resourcefully

by the department of arts and

culture as a craft hub.

“I made a proposal to the

former mayor, Sisisi Tolashe, for

the art gallery to be used as a

proof of residential address

offices. This is because the town

hall building, which we consider

as the parliament of Komani, had

no sense of dignity. It was always

crammed and over-crowded with

people queuing for proof of

residence certificates,” he said.

“When the craft hub

employees left the art gallery, it

was renovated and they were

content with the Expanded Public

Works Programme [EPWP] and

the proof of residential address

office operating in the same office

space.

“We were surprised when

EPWP employees were evicted

and we were told the ANC was

going to use the building.

“We were dumbfounded

about how a municipal building

could change into a political

party office. This is where we

found out that the EPWP office

had moved back to the human

settlement offices.”

The council wanted to find

out where the decision had come

from. He added that the bigger

idea was for the building to be

used as the office of the mayor or

municipal manager.

He said Chris Hani District

Municipality had also wanted to

lease the building.

“Everyone who wants to

relieve themselves in Komani

heads for the building.

“We are failing in our

leadership as Enoch Mgijima

Municipality. There is no story to

tell our children because this is

a historical building.”

Sean Russell, who recently

mowed the lawn at the building

said: “The municipality could

have rented that property for at

least R30k a month to a business.

They could have created a little

business hub there for aspiring

businesses, small restaurants or

small shops and flea markets in

that beautiful garden.”

ANC regional secretary

Lusanda Sizani said: “There is no

such [thing], those are lies there is

no such [sic].”

EMLM spokesperson

Lonwabo Kowa said fire fighters

were able to extinguish the fire.

Kowa said it was believed that

street children who had gained

access to the building were

responsible for the fire.

He said due to a lack of

funding, the municipality did not

have enough security guards to

protect its buildings.

When I was contemplating the PR column for

this #Womensmonth, the first thing that came

to mind was to focus on the challenges

women experience in the PR profession.

However, when I thought about women

I’ve come across over the last 20 years – some

underdogs who have excelled in the PR space

– I decided to recognise them instead.

I am a proud product of KwaKomani High

School and Queenstown Girls’ High – a small

town girl who was able to achieve the goal of

becoming a MD in a PR firm before the age of

40.

One of my mentors, Peta Heidenreich,

contributed immensely to my career

a ch i e ve m e n t s .

I met Peta early on in my career – she was

a co-partner at Frank Heidenreich Consultant

(FHC) – a PR agency I worked for which

focused on providing communication

services to IT clients.

This PR giant taught me the basics of

writing a great story just two years after I had

finished my diploma.

In spite of all her responsibilities as the

MD in the company, she was patient enough

to take the time out of her busy schedule to

mentor me, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

In my three years of working at FHC, I was

always in awe of how great Peta was in PR

and in business as a whole and it was evident

at client presentations that I was not the only

one.

She always left clients amazed by the

exceptional PR ideas she came up with to

assist them to overcome their business

ch a l l e n g e s .

As my career progressed, I started meeting

other amazing PR professionals who included

Hulisani Rasivhaga, who is originally from

Ve n d a .

We did our national diploma in PR

together at the now Durban University of

Technology (DUT) and then again, we were

coincidentally in the same class when we did

our B-Tech degree at the University of

Johannesburg (UJ) once we had both started

working in Joburg.

Our paths passed again when I replaced

her at Absa Gauteng’s regional office as a

communications manager when she moved

to Absa’s communications department at the

national head office.

I’ve watched her progress and flourish in

corporate PR over the years, and I’ve always

been impressed by her work ethic and

dedication.

While at Absa, I also met another PR

trailblazer, Thembakazi Skenqa, who at the

time was the communications manager at

Absa’s Limpopo regional office.

She is originally from Mdantsane in the

Eastern Cape and has, over the years,

managed to achieve so much in the PR space

that she progressed to the position of vice

president of PR for Absa Africa.

While I was the PR manager for MTN

sponsorships, I met Helga Klizanie, the owner

of Khanya PR. She is undoubtedly one of the

PR gurus in the art of sponsorship space.

Miranda Lusiba

Recently, when I was the MD of the

GrindPR (TGPR) – a sponsorship and

corporate PR agency, I met Bontle Tsikwe,

another small-town lady from Taung in the

Northern Cape. She was referred to me by

Hulisani and I was immediately impressed by

her credentials and personality.

I then decided to hire her as my second in

charge in 2018.

During my tenure at TGPR, which ended

in November 2019, she more than impressed

me with her amazing attitude and her drive to

excel in everything she did.

When I left, she was able to take over my

role and has been doing an amazing job

since.

Over the years, I’ve also met some young

women with whom I worked and mentored

because I was so impressed with their attitude

towards their work.

I’m now very proud of the kind of PR

professionals they have become. They include

Rositta Mbanze, Tumi Tawana and Nombuso

Ku n e n e .

What these young women, and my fellow

old-school PR professionals have in common

their impeccable work ethic and proven

records of excellence.

It is important to note though that we were

all lucky enough to have met people who

were willing to mentor us into the kind of

professionals we are today.

This is what I wish for every young,

aspirant PR professional out there.

Komani hosts leg

of charity 400km

Iconic Challenge

Eight-day event raising funds for 4,000 needy pupils

NTSIKELELO QOYO

Sixteen runners from the

country’s nine provinces have

joined to take on 400km in aid

of 4,000 pupils from disadvantaged

b a ck g r o u n d s .

The do-gooders are participating

in this year’s Iconic Challenge which

started at Fort Hare University in Alice

on Friday and will end tomorrow at

Ludondo Village.

The race, started by Prince

Vulithuba Songani in 2018, honours

some of the country’s late struggle

icons through a route that

acknowledges some of the province’s

notable landmarks, including the

birthplace of former president Nelson

Mandela.

The group were in Komani on

Monday, on a pit stop for the second

42km leg which started at the

Waterdown Dam and ended at the

Peninsula reservoir.

They were welcomed by Chris

Hani District Municipality strategic

manager Dr Bhekisisa Mthembu, who

congratulated them on the leg.

The district municipality is a local

partner of the challenge, offering

accommodation for the weary

t rave l l e r s .

Songani said he was happy with

how the race and fundraising had

gone so far.

“So far so good. With what we

have raised so far we can benefit

about 1,400 pupils,” Songani said.

“We are still within our target.

“We are aiming for 4,000 pupils.

The funds will go towards a variety of

things from schools shoes, stationery

and sanitary towels.

“We are running 400km through

the route that was declared by the

route.

“We will run over eight days and

from here we head out to Bolotwa.”

Team doctor and fellow runner,

Thabo Manyane, said he had enjoyed

the province’s beautiful scenery.

“We have been doing well. Today

was mostly to rest the legs while still

doing the marathon.

“It is a nice, flattish route. For the

next three days we will be coming

here after finishing the 42km.

“On Friday we will be in

Clarkebury and then take on the

103km to Ludondo,” said Manyane.

SOURCED

No green light for

Border club rugby yet,

but schools can resume

MAXWELL LEVINE

After the announcement that all

amateur and club rugby, currently

suspended across the country due to

Covid regulations, would be permitted

to resume on August 2 following

detailed reviews by the various

provincial unions on condition teams

had implemented player safety, Border

Rugby, through SA Rugby

administrator Basil Haddad, has issued

a statement.

“After consultation with all

stakeholders, it was decided that all

Border Rugby Union

leagues/competitions will remain

suspended until further notice.”

This has left clubs confused and

without any knowledge or hope that

there will be any club rugby this year.

Meanwhile, the minister of basic

education, Angie Motshekga,

published the amendments in the

latest Government Gazette that school

sport could resume with immediate

effect.

The South African Schools Rugby

Association (Sasra) announced last

Friday that schools could resume their

training and most will be able to play

their first matches on August 25. These

schools must, however, comply with

their fitness and strength training

before playing contact rugby.

These schools will be required to

move into two weeks of focussed

contact training and then a normal

week of training before fronting up for

their first match. If a school has

stopped all training they will have to

follow a return-to-play program of two

weeks of fitness and strength training

and another two weeks of contact

training before moving into a final

week of normal training. This means

these schools will only be allowed to

return to play by September 11.

All sports and cultural activities

will, as before, take place without any

spectators.

Sasralso announced that the

Craven Week for high schools (U18)

will be held during the October

holidays from October 3 to 9 and will

be sponsored and managed by SA

R u g by.

“Sasra is very aware that this is a

critical time of the year for matric

pupils. The pupils will be between

trial examinations and finals, hence

the early decision to allow for

responsible academic preparation.

Sasra will facilitate opportunities for

players to partake in supervised

academic activities at night and on off

d ay s ,” states the release by Noel Ingle,

chairman of Sasra.

The Grant Khomo Week (U16) will

also take place, but will not be

sponsored by SA Rugby.

The various high school

associations indicated that they would

host two regional weeks to provide

these boys with the opportunity to

play at a higher level.

Molteno 12 Aces secure promotion into regional league

NTSIKELELO QOYO

In the end, a single goal was the

difference between jubilation and

heartbreak when local football

association (LFA) teams met to decide

which would be promoted into the

regional league next season.

The teams were at the Dumpy

Adams Sports Complex for this year’s

Chris Hani regional league stream B

playoffs. Nine zones were competing

for the single promotional spot.

The teams were, Sport Club

Vergenoeg from Ilinge, 12 Aces -

Molteno, King Vultures – Dongwe in

group A. Mcheula United- McBride,

Fast Eleven- Sterkstroom, Golden

Chiefs – Ntafa in group B. The final

group was Phoenix Birds- Komani,

Madrid FC- Ezibeleni and Saints from

M a ch i b i n i .

The tournament was held over two

days and only group leaders were

selected to return on Sunday for the

final showdown. Phoenix Birds, 12

Aces and Mcheula United were the

log leaders and a round-robin would

determine which team would go into

the regional league.

The first match between 12 Aces

and Mcheula United was evenstevens,

with both teams netting three

goals and in the end settling for a tie.

Next, it was Mcheula against the Birds

and the McBright team could not

muster a win, yet again settling for a 2-

2 draw on two points after the

completion of their matches.

So it was down to the Birds and 12

Aces, with the winner to take all the

spoils. A second-half goal 10 minutes

from time was the difference

consigning the Komani team, Phoenix

Birds, back to the LFA league.

The Aces coach, Thusile

Magwebu, called the achievement a

team effort. “The tournament was a

very heavy burden on me. It was only

through the dedication and

perseverance of this team that we

managed to get this far.

“I am thankful to them, the

supporters and everyone on the

technical staff.

“Today is the realisation of a dream

we have long held and to finally attain

it is a dream come true.”

Komani-bor n

hockey player

eyes world stage

Ambitious Simons set his sights on becoming a Protea

NTSIKELELO QOYO

Komani-born hockey player Marvin

Simons has set his sights on

becoming a Protea hockey player

and representing the country on the world

stage.

Simons, based in Johannesburg, is in

contention for a place in the SA U21 team

that will compete in the senior men’s

hockey inter-provincial tournament (IPT)

later this year.

He is no stranger to the big stage having

been capped in the SA U18A team in 2018

against Australia.

He has also made his mark in the

indoor game, playing for the SA men’s side

in a series against Switzerland in 2019 and

has already been selected for the World

Cup squad.

The astro is where his mindset is now

and the first step will be selection into the

final 18 man squad for the IPT.

“I want to make the senior men’s team

because I want to go to the next Olympics

in 2024 and World Cups.

“I want to experience the international

stage. It is a lot of pressure, but I am excited

and honoured to be selected for the U21

team - the stage is much bigger now.

“The goal is to work harder than anyone

else in the team,” Simons said.

There will be a lot to look forward to

later this year as the Junior World Cup is

around the corner in November, and a

IN THE TUSSLE: Marvin Simons (in black) facing off against the SA Olympic team at

the SA U21 selection camp in June in Potchefstroom Picture: SUPPLIED

series against Namibia is also in the

pipeline.

The 19-year-old is keen to secure his

position after the disappointment of not

going to the Junior Africa Cup which was

cancelled last year because of Covid-19

even though he had made the squad.

“It has been a long journey for the U21

team. I made the Afcon team and its

cancellation shattered my heart. Being in

the World Cup is a lot of pressure and

being in the 18-man squad will be

physically and mentally demanding.

“I am excited to do the work. I love

working hard and testing myself. Next will

be the senior men’s team and World Cups.

I am honoured and humbled that I have got

this far,” he said.

Rugby clinic coaches

Mlungisi youngsters

NTSIKELELO QOYO

If you have to make a rugby

tackle, it is important to know

how not to get hurt.

Before learning the art of

conversion and penalty taking,

it’s also necessary to learn

handling, to avoid fumbling the

ball on the way to a try.

Boys between the ages of

eight and 15 years were at the

Mlungisi stadium on Saturday to

learn some of the basic skills in

rugby at a coaching clinic

conducted by the Lubunjo

Rugby Academy.

The clinics are targeted at

introducing younger boys to the

game and upskilling amateur

players involved in club rugby.

The ongoing clinics are open

to players up to age 25, and will

soon move to areas outside of

Ko m a n i .

“Lubunjo Rugby Academy is

a programme that aims to assist

the community develop and

upskill formerly disadvantaged

communities, giving them skills

to be able to play in clubs and

help those in school to move up

the ranks to the first team,

provincial rugby and beyond.

“We offer coaching to

individual boys and will move

to different communities and

coach groups. It is not about

clubs, but everyone.

“In partnership with clubs,

communities and federations

we want to make rugby

accessible to everyone.

“We also want to uplift the

standard of refereeing and

c o a ch i n g ,” said Lubunjo

member Abongile Ndabambi.

“For the ones who are not

young and not really exposed to

the sport, we start with ball

handling skills.

“The older groups then learn

different things like passing,

defence, attacking, how to

communicate and build

endurance. We start at an

individual level, moving to a

semi-unit then a unit, which is

your team,” said one of the

coaches, Landi Yaso.

Hikers get

youth away

from streets

NTSIKELELO QOYO

Ezibeleni residents are going off

the beaten track in a bid to keep

young people away from the

streets, get fit and make new

friends.

The Queenstown Trail

Hikers club is reaching out to

young people who may have

become trapped in social ills

during these hard times.

Through camaraderie built

through a common goal,

founders Sibuyiselwe Mfabana

and Zibongile Mnyamana hope

to create friendships and

lifelines that can bring change to

the community.

“With so many challenges

the youth are facing these days,

from drug abuse to

unemployment, the aim is to

attract them, keep them busy

and ultimately win them over

and save them.

“We are trying to have them

in our team, make them forget

their challenges through

exercising and keeping fit - a

healthy body produces a strong

m i n d ,” said Mfabana.

Twenty-two hikers were in

Ezibeleni on Saturday to

participate in this month’s hike.

Ezibeleni hikers team up on

Saturday with the aim of

getting young people off the

on a monthly basis in future. “It

went very well.

“We had a positive response

and 22 people showed up

which was a huge turnout and a

success for us as it was our first

time doing an event of this

nature.

“Our initial plan was to do it

on a monthly basis, but with the

scarcity of resources it may not

always be possible.”

Nolubabalo Mtshakazi, who

was part of the hiking group,

said she looked forward to the

next.

“It was fun and tough at the

same time.

“It was worth it because we

formed new friendships and

conquered yet another

challenge without any injuries

incurred.

“I am ready for the next

challenge and will definitely do

it again.

“I just need to train harder

and be more fit.”
