ICU, theatre at
hospital sitting in

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. -

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…

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.”

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
ove ra l l ,” Hayes said.
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.
