ICU, theatre at

ZINTLE BOBELO and

LUVUYO MJEKULA

The Frontier Hospital intensive

care unit (ICU), the hospital

theatre and the dispensary were

some of the facilities under threat at

the public institution due to a power

outage affecting the Top Town area

since Saturday evening.

An inside source who asked to

remain anonymous said some of the

hospitals ventilation machines were

non-functional to due to the outage.

The Rep was also made aware the

hospital does not have a reliable

backup system to ensure the facility is

o p e ra t i o n a l .

“We are in complete darkness.

When the power goes off the ICU and

the theatre are non-functional, almost

as if they are non-existent. The

situation is bad,” said the s o u rc e .

The Rep reporter did rounds at the

hospital this week and was met with

dark passages with a few lights in

some of the hospital wards.

Hospital CEO Dr Zukiso Nxiweni

asked The Rep to direct any related

questions to the provincial

spokesperson and the EMLM

municipal manager.

The Enoch Mgijima Local

Municipality issued a statement on its

Facebook page indicating the area

had been hit by a cable fault on the

main line between Grey and Beswick

streets, a cable which was recently

repaired. The fault was caused by

underground water.

A contractor was appointed and a

cable “of about 100m” was sourced.

Department of health provincial

spokesperson Yonela Dekeda said the

outage happened at a time when the

department was conducting repairs in

one of the generators at the facility.

“In total, we have six generators at

Frontier. Only one needed to be

repaired. There was no period when

the whole facility was in complete

darkness, but there are certain areas

that were affected. The generator that

was faulty has been repaired,” said

Dekeda.

Responding to questions sent by

The Rep on Thursday, EMLM

spokesperson Lonwabo Kowa said

power supply had been restored in

Top Top. “Energising was done

gradually and the Frontier Hospital

area was the first to be switched.”

However, a resident confirmed

that electricity was restored but was

off again after 30 minutes on Thursday

morning.

LUVUYO MJEKULA

The two young Komani men beaten to

death and dumped in shallow graves,

allegedly by Pakistani nationals last

weekend, were raised by loving families

left distraught by their brutal deaths.

Vuyisile Homo, 31, and Siphelele

Dastile, 27, suspected of breaking into a

hardware store in Komani Street, were

murdered on Sunday August 14.

Their bodies were left in shallow

graves near Roydon farm. The two lived

on the streets but had homes in Mlungisi.

Homo’s family home is in New Brighton

and Siphelele’s in Unifound.

Devastated family members spoke to

The Rep on Wednesday. “I am upset. My

spirit has been broken because we have

lost someone we love,” said a weeping

Nosakhumzi Dastile, Siphelele’s aunt.

She said Siphelele, the last-born child,

wa s raised by his late grandmother. His

family were surprised when he began to

live on the streets, but he often went

home and would stay for a while before

disappearing without telling anyone.

“We are not happy as a family. This

news has devastated us. He loved all his

family members and visited us.”

She said Siphelele had once talked

about coming back home to build a room

in the backyard. “The next thing we heard

was that he was dead.”

Dastile called for the perpetrators to

remain in jail. “ They should have come

to us and we would have returned

whatever they [allegedly] stole, instead of

killing people for something we are not

even clear about. We do not have the full

story because the police did not come to

report to us – we only learnt [from

community leaders] on Monday that our

child had died on Sunday..”

The Homos, meanwhile, called a

family meeting on Wednesday evening to

discuss plans for their loved one.

Suspects due to

appear in court on

various charges

LUVUYO MJEKULA

New district police commissioner, Major-

General Rudolph Adolph, has heaped

praise on SAPS officers for their

successes in recent operations.

Adolph lauded the officers for successes in

policing areas in the district including

Whittlesea, Tsomo, Cacadu, Tylden, Ezibeleni,

Komani and Mlungisi.

Tsomo and Cacadu are among the crime

hotspot areas in the district and The Rep

reported last week (“Joint efforts needed to fight

crime”, August 12) that Adolph had flagged

Mlungisi as a contact crime hotspot.

He said he would take a more communitycentred

approach to dealing with crime in the

district.

Vispol members in Whittlesea recently

arrested 17 suspects in Operation Vuthu Hawe

for charges including assault GBH, possession of

drugs and selling liquor without a licence.

Police also seized dangerous weapons.

In Tsomo, a suspect was arrested for

possession of an unlicenced firearm and live

ammunition on August 11.

Meanwhile multiple operations, including

Operation Sikhona, to combat crime in various

other hotspot areas in the district resulted in

numerous arrests.

A total of 13 suspects aged between 27 and

45 were arrested by Cacadu, Komani, Ezibeleni

and Mlungisi police stations for dealing in drugs

and possession of suspected stolen property.

Police also nabbed four suspects aged 32

and 51 who were caught in possession of a

carcass on August 14 in Tylden. They were

linked to the theft of sheep from a nearby farm

and charged with stock theft.

All suspects were due to appear in the

respective courts.

“Major-General Rudolph Adolph thanked all

foot soldiers for their commitment and

d e d i c a t i o n ,” Captain Namhla Mdleleni said in a

statement.

Speaking on behalf of the

family, Mandisa Homo, said:

“We are in deep pain as a family

after learning that Vuyisile was

one of the victims of a merciless

attack by foreign nationals.”

She said Vuyisile had had a

mental illness and undertook

treatment. He had also left his

home to live on the streets.

Neighbour Zanemvula

Deliwe condemned the attacks.

“It hurt me very much. If they

saw them on the video footage,

why did they decide to take the

law into their own hands? This is

very serious.”

Meanwhile, the four

Pakistani nationals accused of

the attacks appeared in the

Queenstown magistrate’s court

under close police watch on

Tu e s d ay.

Farman Mohammed, Rashid

Mahmood, Adeel Rehman and

Abdul Rehman, aged 27 to 35,

face murder charges.

The court also heard the

state would oppose their

release. The four are due to

make a formal bail application

on August 23.

Although not confirmed by

Komani police, The Rep has

learnt that a third youth was also

attacked but survived after

managing to escape. He is

reportedly fighting for his life in

an undisclosed health facility.

It is alleged that Homo and

Dastile were tracked down after

being identified on video

footage following a break-in at

the store. There have also been

rumours that certain people

were paid R200 each to find

them before the fatal beatings.

VUYISILE HOMO

It was only after local

security company Red Guard

saw video footage of the youths’

bodies being loaded into a

vehicle in the early hours of

Sunday morning that the police

were involved in the incident.

Police spokesperson Captain

Namhla Mdleleni said: “On

Sunday, August 14, at about

8am police were summoned to

a complaint of murder at a

hardware store in Komani Street

and later found two bodies of

unknown men dumped near

Roydon farm.”

The incident has shocked the

Komani community and social

messages condemning the

attacks made the rounds the

whole week. These included a

call for a community meeting

led by civic organisations to

respond to the tragedy.

Enkulukweni

Neighbourhood Watch leader

Elias Magwayi said they had

followed up on the tragic

incident and confirmed they

were involved in informing

family members.

Magwayi, who denounced

the attacks, contended that

instead of taking the two youths

to the police station when they

were called to the scene, Red

Guard officers drove them to the

burglary scene.

“Red Guard was not

supposed to take the [alleged]

perpetrators to the complainant.

We are still wondering if these

children [Vuyisile and

Siphelele] were the ones

responsible for the break-in.”

In response, Red Guard

operational manager Willie

Reinecke said their vehicle had

taken one youth to New Rest to

identify the burglary suspects,

but returned him when they

could not find the suspects. The

youth was released in the

presence of Red Guard officers,

Reinecke said.

Later, Red Guard officers

returned to the burglary scene

and found the business owners

were keeping three youths and

told the officers to go away

because they were “useless”.

“At no stage did our vehicles

transport any of those suspects.

We were never inside the shop

involved in any assault on those

[burglary] suspects. How or

where they got them we do not

k n ow.”

Mian Mudassar Naseer, a

member of the Pakistani

community in Komani, also

condemned the attacks.

“I totally condemn what

happened to the beloved family

members. We are not violent

people – we have been here for

more than 20 years and not

even once has this type of

incident happened.

“We are very sorry and we

want to support good attitudes

in Queenstown. We are totally

against violence,” Naseer said.

Overinflated salaries, 68 ghost

employees discovered by NCR

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

The national cabinet

representative unearthed

irregularities in his “As

is” report which paint a bleak

picture of Enoch Mgijima Local

Municipality which, it turns

out, has 68 ghost employees

earning inflated salaries.

Among the NCR team’s

findings were that Eskom was

not being serviced as the

municipality used electricity

money to pay salaries.

Among other findings were

staff having been employed

without having gone through

the necessary human resources

processes, and employees wh o

received high salaries despite

occupying lower level jobs.

NCR head Dr Monde Tom

tabled the report to the council

at the special council meeting

on Thursday, which began with

residents protesting outside the

Jesus Christ Church, as

municipal officials, according

to residents, did not want them

to hear the report.

The report was also aimed

at presenting the NCR team’s

recommendations to the

council, to address red flags

and solutions.

“We put in four pertinent

structural problems to the

municipality that are the cause

of the financial crisis.

“We indicated that there

was an overinflated salary bill

which is money diverted from

services to pay the majority of

e m p l oye e s .

“This phenomenon started

in 2016 when the municipality

amalgamated with Tsolwana

and Nkwanca.”

Tom said the NCR team

could explain how this had

happened.

The second problem, he

said, was the R700m

unserviced Eskom debt wh i ch

had been used to pay salaries

to employees, when EMLM did

not have money to pay salaries.

“The concern we raised

was that the electricity supply

was negatively affected due to

the lack of maintenance.

“The municipality has 30

substations, of which four were

66KVA, the main feeders

connected directly to Eskom.”

The 26 small ones, he said,

were in a dilapidated state.

The third issue was the low

revenue collection from

primary sources, which

worsened the problem.

Billable stolen electricity

through illegal connections

also led to the municipality

not being able to pay Eskom.

The NCR indicated that the

municipality could only afford

to pay R250m for bulk

electricity this year, not

R290m, meaning there was a

deficit.

“We are in the process of

determining the amount that

illegal connections are costing

the municipality.

“Something serious needs

to be done in Mlungisi.

“EMLM is doing

patchwork. At least they are

addressing the western

s u b s t a t i o n .”

The fourth problem, Tom

said, was that EMLM was

relying on central funding,

which was the equitable

share, instead of on revenue

collection.

Tom said the equitable

share had declined and

municipal officials were using

this to justify why they were in

a financial crisis.

“When we ask where the

funding plan is that they put in

place, given that they had a

decreased equitable share,

low revenue collection and

were supplementing salaries

with electricity debt funds, for

them to make conscious

decisions on what they will be

able to fund and what they

will consciously not fund – it

is not available.”

EMLM council speaker,

Noluthando Nqabisa, said the

council was not surprised by

the findings.

The council accepted the

recommendations that should

be implemented.

On Friday, the NCR met

with the ward committees,

with 340 people attending.

“We are in the process of

meeting various stakeholders,

presenting the findings to the

unions, creditors and

businesses owed by the

m u n i c i p a l i t y.

“We want to present our

resolutions to them.”

❝We indicated there

was an overinflated

salary bill which is

money diverted

from services to

pay the majority of

employees.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Mlungisi business

hit hard by road

upgrade delays

The Enoch Mgijima Local

Municipality (EMLM) has

proven that the plan to

complete the R18.8m

road upgrade in Pambo Street,

Mlungisi, in July was far-fetched.

Instead, the now gravel road

turned mud festival is rapidly

eroding, with motorists having to

take alternative routes to avoid

damage to their vehicles.

The initial date of completion

for this project was April, as

indicated by the municipal

spokesperson. But it was a

blatantly implausible

announcement.

The previously potholeriddled

tar road was excavated

and, at some point, left

unattended. Delays were,

according to EMLM, due to the

sourcing of material and plant,

and inclement weather.

Motorists have had to use

bypasses when works were under

way, with the hope that the

project would be done properly,

and speedily.

Just when the project had

begun to take shape, it suddenly

came to a standstill with no

explanation from the

municipality as to why and when

roadworks would resume.

A week ago, community

members joined forces to draw

attention to the poor state of the

t ow n ’s road infrastructure.

Business owners expressed

their frustration when they

reportedly addressed EMLM

officials on how this project,

which was also carried out in

Nomzamo, was affecting

Mlungisi’s economy.

Residents took to social media

in exasperation.

Businesses owned by young

people were hard hit, with

customers refusing to travel to

their establishments because of

the rough, dusty road.

All of this is happening in a

country that has one of the

highest rates of unemployment in

the world.

The municipality has a

reputation for poor delivery of

services, and sadly some of these

officials who were voted into

power do not endure what the

ordinary person is exposed to.

Was this an invaluable lesson

to residents who had placed their

trust in a municipality that

continues to disregard its people?

What some of us have come

to realise is that for the

municipality to take swift action

in matters of concern, community

members have to partake in

protest action, burn tyres and

blockade roads to get the

message across.

How do we hold the

municipality accountable for

such actions? You, the resident,

must decide!

KOMANI WEATHER

There will not be any vast change in

the weather over the weekend and

things will continue pretty much as

they have been lately.

There will be a brisk wind on

Friday as we have come to expect in

August. It will be partly cloudy and

the temperature will range between a

minimum of 3°C and a maximum of

15°C.

The cloudy weather will continue

❝Was this an invaluable

lesson to residents

who had placed their

trust in a municipality

that continues to

disregard its people?

on Saturday, but it will not bring forth

any moisture. The wind will be quite

strong and the minimum

temperature will be 2°C, with the

maximum going up to16°C.

Sunday will be a lovely day for a

braai or some other outdoor activity.

The minimum temperature will be

3°C and the maximum 20°C with

just a gentle breeze. -

according to the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality, has not been completed. (Read editorial opinion) Picture: ZINTLE

BOBELO

FACE 2 FACE with /

QWhat do you like

about your job?

AWhat I like most about

the work I do is that I

have a responsibility as the

councillor to do my oversight

in ensuring that the services

we provide are done so in a

well-structured, efficient and

integrated manner.

Q: What is the most

important thing you have

learnt in your career?

A: Councillors need people

from all parts of the

community who can bring

their own perspective on

what is needed locally.

All councils are led by

democratically elected

councillors who, working

together, set the council’s

vision, direction and budget.

What I find more

important is that I carry my

responsibilities in ensuring

that I deliver the services

needed by our communities.

Q: How do you think we can

overcome gender based

violence in this country?

A: Increase resources for

shelters, hotlines and other

services so that they meet the

heightened demand.

Scale up public

awareness campaigns,

particularly those targeted at

men and boys.

Develop and implement

measures to protect victims

who have been abused.

Q: What does being a

woman in SA mean to you?

A: Women in South Africa

are the most powerful people

on earth. I can proudly say I

am one of those strong

young women who feels that

we are as capable as men.

This needs to be the focus

of our education – that

women can be whatever

they want to.

Q: What book are you

reading currently?

A: To Kill a Mockingbird by

Harper Lee. I read the book

in high school, came across

it and decided to read it

again in my free time. It was

intriguing.

Q: What impact do you

hope to make in your

lifetime?

A: Try to give back to my

community and to always

stand up for nothing but the

truth at all times.

Q: Define your personal

style?

A: Currently my life is

relatively normal. I am a

YO U R VOICE opinions on the street

simple person and I am

taking my health seriously.

Fitness and health are so

important nowadays.

Q: How do you relax?

A: I meditate quite a lot. I

switch off from reality and

listen to my own thoughts.

Funnily enough, I enjoy

cooking my favourite meals.

I find that relaxing too.

What do you think about…

MBONGENI

TATA N A

Gun violence seems to be

plaguing the country, with

several media reports of

these unfortunate incidents

taking place almost every

week. The Rep intern

Chuma Joni took to the

streets of Komani to ask

locals, what the solution to

gun violence is?

Mbongeni Tatana

from Zakhele

Guns must not be easily

accessible. There must be a

law here in South Africa that

will prohibit easy access. I

think there are officials who

are giving out these guns

NOSIPHIWE

N YAT I

SIPHOKAZI

DASI

illegally, which is why this is

happening.

Nosiphiwe Nyati

from Khayelitsha

We must have strict laws so

people cannot commit these

crimes and if they do, they

must serve a longer

sentence. They must ensure

that when one is sentenced,

they do not come out easily.

They must not be given

luxurious treatment in the

cells as if they are staying in

Sandton. They must feel they

are there to be punished.

Siphokazi Dasi

Sinomtha Lali Chris Hani District

Municipality portfolio head for health, community services

SALUSIWE

DASI

from Ezibeleni

There needs to be a raid

conducted where illegal

firearms can be discovered.

This information can come

out easily from community

members because they know

exactly who these illegal

guns belong to. There must

be stricter law enforcement.

Salusiwe Dasi

from Ezibeleni

Guns should not be left lying

around by their owners. They

should look after their guns

and must make sure that they

are legal. The law must be

very strict when it comes to

ARRIE

PIETERSON

guns because we are losing

our loved ones because of

careless people.

Arrie Pieterson

from Top Town

People must start doing their

jobs. Get the law enforcers to

keep the guns away from

people who do not deserve

to have firearms. The

government should create

more jobs for people so they

do not resort to crime to

survive. Rather put in money

and resources to help the

people in the country so that

they do not have to steal or

murder to survive.

high school

REP REPORTER

DAY TO CELEBRATE: Queenstown Girls’ High School staff members at the institution’s 147th birthday service Picture: ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

Eastern Cape department of education

MEC Fundile Gade has learnt with shock

of the death of a grade 8 pupil at Arthur

Mfebe High School in Cofimvaba on

Tuesday due to faction fighting among the

b oy s and has sent his condolences to the

family of the deceased pupil.

The pupil, from Oathay Rural

Settlement, was killed by other scholars in

full view of teachers and fellow pupils.

The situation necessitated the school

governing body and leadership to call for

a speedy meeting with stakeholders to

resolve the matter.

The meeting was attended by local

stakeholders including the Chris Hani

west education district’s top management,

Saps district commissioner, Intsika Yethu

acting mayor, chief Zwelabantu

Matanzima of Abathembu Kingdom Royal

Council and the headman to map a way

f o r wa r d .

“Due to the volatile situation at the

school, the meeting unanimously agreed

that normal schooling in the prevailing

circumstances is untenable, hence the

decision to suspend classes. A meeting to

map a way forward is scheduled for next

week Monday, August 22, at 8am at the

school with parents and all stakeholders,”

read the statement.

The suspension of classes is meant to

allow space for deliberations and charting

a way forward in resolving the matter.

Gade condemned the boys’ faction

fights and called upon the community to

work together to resolve this matter.

Ibhendi enkulu Yobhedu

Liguqulelwe esiXhoseni nguSindiswa Mbokodi

UZaide noJoe babezimele. Babezimele ngaphantsi kweqonga

elikhulu eholweni yesixeko. Kwakukho uthuli oluninzi ngaphantsi

apho kwaye uJoe wayeqinisekile ukuba kukho isigcawu esinoboya

esijinga phezu kwentloko yakhe. Babezimele apho kuba ibhendi

enkulu yobhedu yayilungiselela ukuziqhelisa ukudlala apho, kwaye

eyona nto wayeyinqwenela ngaphezulu kwezinto zonke uZaide

emhlabeni, yaye ikukudlala kwibhendi.

Sebenzisa

ubugcisa bakho!

Bayalele abantwana benze

iiposta ezazinokuba zibonisiwe

kwiindawo ngeendawo esixekweni

ukwazisa ngomgcelele oqhubekayo.

Yibani nengxoxo ngolwazi

abanokulufuna lufakwe

kwiiposta phambi kokuba

abantwana baqalise.

Kwangoko ngaloo ntsasa uZaide wayeqhawulele uJoe

ngaphandle kweevenkile. Wayephethe ivuvuzela emthubi, imbiza

endala eboqokileyo kunye nentonga.

“Joe,” watsho, “Joe, khawuleza undilandele!”

“Siya phi?” wabuza uJoe owayexakekile esitya i-koeksister.

Kwakuyintsasa yangoMgqibelo, kwaye waye onwatyiswe

kukuhamba-hamba esehlisa iMain Road eneswekile emilebeni

nelanga elalifudumeza ubuso bakhe.

“Kufuneka siye eholweni yesixeko,” watsho uZaide. “Khawuleza!

Masibaleke!” Wabe sel’enduluka uZaide.

UJoe wayengaziva efuna ukubaleka, kodwa wayemthanda uZaide, ngoko ke wamlandela bajikela

ikona, bedlula kwivenkile kamalume wakhe yentlanzi, banqumla ebaleni lokudlala labantwana ukuya

eholweni yesixeko. Waza wambona uZaide emkhweba ngamandla emi emva kolunye lweengcango

ezinkulu eziphezulu kumanqwanqwa eholo yedolophu.

“Yiza!” watsho. “Khawuleza Joe!”

Wakhokela bangena eholweni waza wabeka umnwe

wakhe emilebeni yakhe. “Shhhh,” watsho, “shhhh.”

Kwakungekho mntu eholweni ngaphandle kwendoda

enesiqu eyayinxibe iyunifom eluhlaza eyayilele esitulweni.

“Wenza ni?” wasebeza uJoe.

“Shhhh!” waphinda watsho uZaide watsho egaqa ngezandla nangamadolo engena kwisikroba

esiphantsi kweqonga. “Yiza!” wasebezela uJoe. UJoe eneneni wayengafuni ukumlandela angene kule

ndawo imnyama, kodwa ke noko kunjalo wakhasa wamlandela.

“Senza ni apha?” wasebeza uJoe. “Ndiyoyika. Ndiqinisekile ukuba kukho izigcawu apha.”

“Sukufeketha apha,” waphendula esebeza uZaide. “Siza kudlala kunye nebhendi! Nali elakho igubu.”

Waza wamnika imbiza nentonga.

Ngelo xesha kanye beva amazwi aphakamileyo eholweni nengxolo yokugruzula kwezitulo

ezidudulwayo. Kwaza kwavakala isandi esithi Oom-pah-pah nesandi esikhulu sexilongo nomgqumo

wegubu elikhulu. Kwaza ngesaquphe, ngodubulo lwesandi yonke ibhendi yaqalisa ukudlala ingoma

kunye. Yayisenza ihlombe elikhulu.

“Masiye, Joe,” watsho uZaide ebeka ivuvuzela emilebeni yakhe, watsho wavuthela isithonga esikhulu.

“Masiye! Betha igubu lakho, Joe!” Watsho waqalisa uJoe ukuvathela imbiza ngelixa uZaide evuthela

ngamandla ivuvuzela eyiphindaphinda.

Ngequbuliso ibhendi yathi nqumama ukudlala. Kodwa uZaide noJoe bakhe baqhuba bedlala

indoda emfutshane enamabhovu amakhulu. Yayinxibe

izingxobo zezandla ezimhlophe, yaye njengoko yayithetha yayimana ibetha ngentongana ecaleni

lomlenze wayo.

“Nceda, nc-nce-nceda ungasibethi!” wathintitha watsho uJoe.

“Besifuna nje ukuzibandakanya nani,” watsho uZaide. “Bendisoloko ndanqwenela ukudlala kwibhendi

yenu – oko!”

“Yizani bantwana,” kwatsho indoda ebuso bubomvu, “lixesha lokuba nihambe!” Waza waqalisa

ukubakhokelela emnyango.

“Khawuthi xha umzuzu!” yatsho indoda enxibe izingxobo zezandla ezimhlophe. “Ukuba bafuna

ukudlala kunye nathi – asingebavumeli ngani na? Kodwa,” watsho eguqukela kuZaide, “awunakudlala

ivuvuzela! Ke wena,” wajikela kuJoe, “awunakudlala imbiza!” Wavula ibhokisi enkulu wayalula

ngaphakathi kwayo. “Heke!” waza wakhupha unxantathu omncinci

wesinyithi nentonga, nengqongqo. Unxantathu nentonga wazinika

uZaide, waza ingqonqo wayinika uJoe.

Wadana uZaide. “Kodwa ndifuna ukudlala ixilongo!” wadanduluka.

“Xa sel’ulifundile ixilongo, ungalidlala,” yatsho indoda. “Kodwa,

okwangoku, ungadlala ezi. Kwaye kulo Mgqibelo uzayo ningakhokela

ibhendi ukuhla iMain Road xa sidlala singumngcelele.”

Waguqukela kwibhendi, “Nithini ngale nto?”

“Kwala ntoni?” yatsho indoda enegubu elikhulu.

“Ngokuqinisekileyo, kwala ntoni?” watsho umfazi onesaksofoni.

Ngoko ke kuMgqibelo olandelayo aba bantwana babini

bayikhokela ezitalatweni ibhendi enkulu yobhedu ngokuzingca.

UJoe wayenxibe ihempe ecocekileyo emhlophe, uZaide yena enxibe

ilokhwe ebomvu, enentyatyambo emthubi ezinweleni zakhe. UZaide

wambetha unxantathu wakhe wabe uJoe eyishukumisa ingqongqo

yakhe behamba nesingqi somculo.

Njengoko babematsha, uZaide wayecinga ngaloo mini apho wayeza kube

ekhalisa ixilongo kule bhendi inkulu yobhedu xa kusenziwa umngcelele kuzo

zonke iidolophu.

GHS celebrates with special guests

Pupils enjoy

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

History unraveled at the

Queenstown Girls’

High School 147th

Reunion, which was attended

by Molly Bisset Brown, 97, an

Old Girl who is a relative of Sir

Bisset Berry, the first man who

insisted on girls being accepted

at Queen’s College Boys’ S ch o o l

in 1875.

The old school building is

now the Queenstown and

Frontier Museum building.

Queen’s College became a

co-ed school, which later led to

GHS being formed when more

girls began to enrol.

Brown was accompanied by

Norma (Hayes) Payne, 95, a

former head girl of 1945 who

was active on the school

committee and contributed to

raising funds for the

construction of the St George’s

Hall and in the designing of the

current school uniform.

They were both special

guests at the birthday service on

Sunday, with the class of 1997

celebrating their 25th

anniversary. Class of 1997 Old

Girl Dr Thulelah Takane was the

guest speaker.

Her speech was preceded by

a memorial reading of the

names of Old Girls who had

passed away in the past year,

conducted by Old Queenstonia

ch a i r Karen Bassett.

School principal Theo

Anaxagoras, taking the girls on a

retrospective journey of the

s ch o o l ’s history, said Sir Bisset

Berry was obviously a man who

was well ahead of the times.

He was not content with the

girls merely being busy with

crocheting skills and singing, as

was the custom at that time.

He said Bisset Brown grew

up on a farm in Molteno and

attended a farm school. She and

her brother rode their horses to

school in all kinds of weather.

“From there she came to

Girls’ High School for her last

four years. She was an excellent

tennis player and was the

s ch o o l ’s champion.

“She married a farmer, Bisset

Brown, who was named after

his great grandfather, Sir Bisset

B e r r y.

“I had recently spoken to the

girls about a Dr Berry who went

to the museum and banged on

the door 147 years ago and said:

‘My daughters are coming here.’

This is one of his relatives.

“This is live history. From

1858 to 1875 Queen’s College

only had boys. In 1875, Sir

Bisset Berry was there to

demand his daughter and her

friend be admitted to the school

and immediately the average IQ

went up by 33,’’ he joked.

From that time girls attended

the school, which was

eventually split into boys and

girls schools, with GHS moving

to its present school building.

In the 1950s, Queen’s Junior

and Balmoral Primary separated

from the high schools.

Brown and Bisset had four

children and their daughter was

head girl of GHS in 1969.

Molly Bissett Brown said:

“All through life, let us not forget

our motto: Truth and courage.

“Wo u l d n ’t it be wonderful if

all through life, people would

say: ‘So-and-so must be all right,

EPIC REUNION: Queenstown Girls’ High School Old Girls, from left, 1945 head girl Norma

(Hayes) Payne, 95, and Molly Bisset Brown, 97, (class of 1942), who captured the school’s hearts

at the GHS 147th birthday celebration over the weekend Picture: ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

she went to GHS so she must be

truthful and courageous’?”

Apart from all her

contributions to the school,

Payne played tennis, h o ck e y

and the cello in the school’s

orchestra. Two of her daughters

matriculated at GHS.

Ta k a n e ’s speech touched on

her journey as a pupil who had

come from an abusive

background to GHS without

understanding English. But,

thanks to the support of teachers

who believed in her abilities,

she emerged as one of the top

achievers, both academically

and in sports.

She is now has PhD in

primary maths education.

Takane said: “The work

educators do is often taken for

granted and I want you to know

we see the hard work you do. I

am overjoyed to have been

given this opportunity to come

back and say thank you to GHS

for creating an environment that

contributed to the person I am

today and all I have achieved.”

Money matters, health in focus at women’s event

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

Women were empowered to be

financially savvy at the Border Kei

Chamber of Business women’s

development breakfast event at Queens

Hotel on Wednesday.

The event, themed Live with

Confidence, was sponsored by Sanlam.

Durban-based product specialist

Mirashnee Naidoo said money could

make a person happy or sad, it all

depended on how one looked at it.

“My mother had a Std 6 education.

She worked in a factory for 35 years.

“When she retired with R350,000,

she said I needed to make money with

the very little money I received.

“She understood risk. Each one of

you understands risk,” Naidoo said.

She said educating a girl child to

understand the value of money was

important and that understanding the

value and power of money was critical

in retirement and savings planning.

A survey of about 1,500 people

conducted by the company in 2020

showed the longlasting effect financial

stress had on their physical and mental

health, work performance and

relationships.

She said women tended to shy away

from making financial decisions.

According to her, statistics revealed

that 58% of employees were stressed,

47% could not pay their household

bills and 43% acquired personal loans

to pay off debt. “We have school fees,

groceries, water, electricity, cars and

bonds, university fees and elderly

people we have to take care of.

“My father is 82 and my mother 72

and their retirement plan is me.”

Another scary statistic, Naidoo

pointed out, was that only 6% of the

country’s 60-million population could

comfortably retire.

While 50% did not have a

retirement plan, 21% had a vague idea

about it, 21% had a good idea and 8%

had well-established plans, she said.

Naidoo urged people to start saving

by starting small, saying it was as

critical as paying debt.

Makapela spoke on the importance of

investing in business education to be

equipped for the ins and outs of being

an entrepreneur.

The company’s risk product

specialist, Kamini Pydigadu, said the

role of women had changed from being

seen as caregivers and housewives.

However, household duties and

raising children while also juggling

many other things remained

unchanged. “When was the last time

you took an hour for yourself and

switched off from everything?

“Taking 30 minutes for yourself can

do a lot for your mental ability.”

Pydigadu said women gave much of

t h e m s e l ve s .

She said women approaching 40

were becoming more susceptible to

dread diseases caused by stress, not

eating healthily due to busy schedules

and other challenges they faced.

She said 46% of the company’s

claims for women were breast cancerrelated.

“Go for your annual mammogram

tests and have a conversation with your

financial planner. The cost of medical

aid when diagnosed with chronic

disease is quite expensive.

“In some instances it does not cover

everything and it has to come out of

your pocket. Ensure you have covered

yourself across the board against

illnesses,“ she said.

BKCOB’s Lizelle Maurice

encouraged women to invest in

themselves and to become mentors of

others.

“If you have sons, raise them to be

good husbands, leaders and fathers.

“Teach your daughters to be good

mothers, wise and leaders of society

because we need good leaders out

there. Be kind to each and every one of

us who fights battles, you do not know

who was beaten up by their husband.”

New Lukhanji Sunset Rotary Club

member shares his career passion

LEN’S NEWS

Recently, there was much

excitement when Lukhanji Sunset

Rotary inducted Yamkele Poni from

Komani as a club member.

Speaking about his career and

passions in life, Poni said he had

started doing photography in 2016.

It was a passion he had started

pursuing at the age of 11.

Poni said he learnt his skill

through watching YouTube

tutorials, and shooting at d e r by

games and school events while a

pupil.

This led to him winning a

couple of awards at school for

photography, including the picture

of the year in the junior category.

Poni now does videography and

filmmaking in and around Komani,

to make a living

It is a passion he says he will

pursue for as long as he lives.

Lukhanji Sunset Rotary Club is

nowadays a hybrid club. This

means that it alternates between

face-to-face and virtual meetings,

depending on where the members

are.

Recently the president, Sheila

Senkubuge, was in Uganda on

business. While in Kampala she

met with a number of Rotary clubs

and the district governor.

The local club is working to get

members from those clubs to join

in with the virtual meetings.

Vital units under

threat at hospital

CELEBRATING TOGETHER

Continued from PAGE 1

Meanwhile, after reportedly

going months without

electricity, fed-up residents of

Unathi Mkefa in Ezibeleni

vented their fury by blockading

the entrance to the EMLM

technical services department

with burning tyres on

Wednesday morning.

It was the second protest in

as many days amid a police and

Red Guard Security presence.

The department’s employees

who had deserted their

workplace were spotted

standing next to vehicles metres

a w ay.

The protesting residents

complained that the

municipality had not responded

to their cries for weeks and they

had had enough.

“This community has been

without electricity for three

months. Our challenge is that

[the EMLM] has been making

promises but not fulfilling

t h e m ,” said Thulani Bukani of

the Independent Komani

Residents’ Association (Ikora),

which supported the residents’

action.

He said the association had

been assisting the residents in

communicating with the

municipality and learnt from the

department’s director that the

problem was that they did not

have readily available

transformers due to theft. He

said the director had promised

the residents’ electricity

problem would be fixed in three

d ay s ’ time but nothing was done

and there was no response

forthcoming.

“I will call these promises

lies because none of them have

been fulfilled – there is no

response from the municipality

and the cellphones of the

people we are supposed to be

talking to are all off.

“Their excuse has been their

truck has been taken off the road

due to unpaid traffic fines. It

shows there is no consequence

management at this

m u n i c i p a l i t y,” Bukani said.

Affected resident Nombasa

Pringane said a month had gone

without electricity since an

explosion of the substation in

her yard. “We are receiving no

assistance from the

municipality. My TV and fridge

have been damaged because of

the substation. We struggle with

paraffin, gas and, as someone

who is in the business of selling

meat, I have had to throw away

a lot of it. The municipality is

failing us.”

Another resident, Nokhwezi

Msindwana, said reporting their

problem to their councillor had

not yielded any positive

response.

“Even coming here does not

really help because yesterday

we sat here the whole day with

no help. We are hungry and

tired. We don’t know if we have

a municipality or not.”

Tips on tax

deductions for

homeowners

REP REPORTER

Individuals who have not yet filed their income

tax returns have until October 24 2022 to do so.

When it comes to tax deductions,

homeowners are entitled to certain claims if they

are working from home or if they own a rental

property that provides an income.

“Homeowners who work from home might

be entitled to a tax deduction based on the

interest charged on the outstanding bond

amount. Landlords are also required to declare

the total amount of rental income received as

part of their taxable income but can lower that

taxable income by making certain deductions of

non-capital expenses,” explains regional director

and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian

Goslett.

It should also be noted that homeowners can

only qualify for a home office deduction if they

are employed and a condition of the

employment is to carry the cost of keeping a

home office as the central business location.

Although many homeowners might qualify

for a tax deduction, it is sometimes a difficult task

to perform the necessary calculations. Goslett

recommends homeowners consult a professional

tax consultant if they are in doubt.

But, as a simplified overview of a homeowner

who could potentially claim back if they work

from home, RE/MAX of Southern Africa provides

the following example:

Working on a home purchased for R1m, if

you work from home and use 20% of the

property as a home office, you will be entitled to

a tax deduction based on the interest charged on

the remaining outstanding bond amount. If the

interest on the bond is charged at 9%, you will

be charged roughly R90,000 in interest for the

year. Because 20% of the property is used as a

home office, you would be entitled to claim 20%

of the R90,000 (R18,000) as a tax deduction in

the production of your income.

This calculation becomes more complicated

if you withdraw an amount from your bond or

make a substantial additional payment.

Essentially, both these actions will affect how

much you are able to claim back in tax.

For landlords hoping to lower their taxable

income, Gosletts says a landlord is obliged to

incur certain expenses during the period the

property is let out. “Deducting these non-capital

expenses from your tax return will reduce the

taxable income and possibly put you in a lower

tax bracket, which will be to your benefit.

Examples of non-capital expenses that can be

deducted include:

● Rates, taxes, security, and property levies

● Interest paid on the home loan

● Advertising costs of marketing the property

● Rental agent’s commission or fees for securing

a tenant

● Insurance (only homeowner’s insurance, not

household contents insurance)

● Garden services

● Repairs in respect of the area let

Note: if the tenant has moved out and repairs

are made to the home to sell it, these expenses

cannot be deducted as they did not happen

while the tenant occupied the property.

“Be warned that evading paying tax on rental

income will get you into deep financial water,”

Goslett warns.

If there is ever any area of doubt, consult a

professional financial adviser or tax consultant.

Reunion camaraderie wins day

GHS never gave

up despite loss

to Cambridge

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

Queenstown Girls’ High

School (GHS) got off to a

slow start in the first two

quarters of their 147th Reunion

netball game against Cambridge

High, and ended up losing 23-19.

The big game was played in

overcast, chilly conditions on

Saturday at the school’s netball

fields.

GHS battled to find their rhythm

in the first quarter, allowing

loopholes for Cambridge to gain the

a dva n t a g e .

In the second quarter, GHS

showed a slight improvement but

could not retain the ball, while

Cambridge tightened their defence

and attacking positions. They

claimed the second quarter by 6-4.

In the third quarter, GHS

regained their composure and took

charge of the territory, but the East

London side still prevailed by 6-5

and in the final stretch of the game

GHS dominated, beating

Cambridge 8-4.

It was GHS’s second match

against Cambridge this season,

having beaten the East London side

14-17 at the Grens High School

festival earlier this year.

Despite Saturday’s loss, GHS

netball coach Elisma Hayes said she

was proud of the girls who fought

until the end without giving up.

“Both teams had good spirit and

sportsmanship on and off the court

and it was an excellent game

Hayes said the Reunion games

were special because they gave the

Old Girls a chance to reconnect

with their old school and support

pupils.

“It is around the fields that

current pupils and staff get to catch

up with the Old Girls. It is

wonderful to see the camaraderie

that comes from a Reunion.”

Cambridge High first team

coach Nadine Johnson said fitness

played a big role.

“These girls have pulled

through. We have come from a long

season, but with Covid you can

Queen’s SA U18A star to

face France and England

Sesetu Mpaka’s

skill, speed and

power recognised

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

Queen’s College outside centre

Sesetu Mpaka will be in the

team to face France today in

the international series at Paarl in the

Western Cape after he made the

selection for the South African Under

18A rugby team.

His next big game will be against

England on Tuesday, followed by

another against France next Saturday.

Queen’s College rugby head coach

Clinton Löest said this was a path that

could lead to higher honours for a

player to be recognised at varsity cups

or at provincial unions or to be offered

a contract with the Springbok team.

“It is an absolute honour for Mpaka

to have been selected, to the school

and the head coach, it makes me very

proud. There have been other coaches

that have played a part in Mpaka’s

career and they must also be credited

for the hard work put in at junior levels,

with him now being identified as a

player selected for an SA team.

”Mpaka told me that he is very

proud of being selected for this team

and wants to give his best.”

Löest said scouts had watched the

players in their first teams throughout

the year when the boys were selected

for the provincial Craven or Academy

weeks and the final selection for the SA

U18 team.

The coach believes the SA U18A

rugby team is part of an alignment for

the Springboks, and players who

performed in the competition would be

identified and fast-tracked to junior

Springbok level.

He said Mpaka also played inside

centre.

“Mpaka’s strength is his explosive

speed and power, coupled with his skill

and understanding of the outside centre

position on defence, on which

he worked hard this year, his

understanding of the wings on the

outside and how to defend the outer

channels. Ball carrying is also his

s t r e n g t h .”

This means he will miss the

Queen’s derby against Dale College as

the final school game.

However, Löest said the young star

had an outstanding game against

Cambridge last week when they won

99-10.

To cover his position in the derby,

inside centre Lwanele Gaba has moved

to outside centre and Onke Ntontela

from the second team will take on

jersey 12.

Police fight back to win Border rugby league title

SWEET VICTORY: Police are the 2022 Border rugby champions

Picture: SUPPLIED

MAXWELL LEVINE

In their defining hour at the Police Park

fortress and in front of passionate support,

Police were dominant, emphatic,

claustrophobic and did the job only

champions do.

The last day of the Super League was

less dramatic than expected, but still

delivered an intriguing finish to the

season. Police had to draw on all their

experience and pedigree to win yet

another Border championship by beating

a resilient Fort Hare Blues side 34-21.

In the end the class of Police showed. It

was a must-win match for the Bobbies,

considering that, on the other side of the

equation at Ntenteni Fields, the alreadyrelegated

Black Eagles did not even bother

to pitch up, handing Police’s closest rivals

Ncerha Leopards, five points on a platter.

With the run-up to the final day and

midway through the league season it was

all Ncerha Leopards, with Police pushing

quietly behind the log leaders.

It takes a champion team to hit back

after an unexpected bump in the first

round of matches, when they lost 30-24

away to Ntlaza Lions, but that was the

only loss in their run-up to the title.

That was followed by a string of

postponements for Police which further

stretched the lead at the top of the table for

Leopards. But when they had the

opportunity to play, Police raked in the

points. They won five consecutive

matches before the crucial encounter

against table-toppers Ncerha Leopards

which ended in a 13-13 draw. That match

didn’t end well, with a disappointing

protest and counter-protest.

One must spare a thought for

Leopards, the first team in Border rugby to

be unbeaten the entire season, but still end

empty-handed and the second-best team

in the region. Their ability not to bury

teams when presented with winnable

situations came back to haunt them.

Police made the most of it, grabbing

the opposition by the jugular, ripping them

apart and pumping in the bonus points.

In other results, Swallows won 45-5

against Tigers and Buffs got the better of

Lions, winning 24-10. Breakers won 17-5

against a woeful WSU All Blacks side

while Old Boys took soft points against

Young Leopards due to medical

equipment problems.

With a question mark hovering over

the Gold Cup, teams will be earmarking

the EC Super 14 competition. Twice

winners Police will spearhead the

challenge, with Ncerha Leopards,

Swallows, Old Selbornians, Young

Leopards and Ntlaza Lions qualifying

automatically, and one wild card spot.

The winners of the Premier League will

be decided on August 27, when

Moonlight take on United Brothers.

Police were club champs

representatives in 2010 and 2016 Gold

Cup representative, two times EC Super 14

champions and now Border champions.

Everything was thrown at them this

season, but they did not faulter.

Adversity is inevitable, but this season

proved that difficulties and misfortunes

don’t have to keep you from achieving

your intended goals. Police have

overcome every obstacle thrown at them

this season and rightfully take their place

among the greatest Border rugby has seen.

Two more join

Milestone club

Last Saturday, 55 people ran,

walked and jogged the course of

the Komani parkrun at the

Queenstown Golf Club in cool

weather conditions.

There were six happy regular

parkrunners who recorded

personal best times, while Marthie

Lee and Adrian Cawthorn became

members of the elite Milestone 100

club by completing 100 parkruns.

Fourteen volunteers were

present to ensure yet another

successful event.
