TUESDAY, 5 OCTOBER 2010 - Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature

TUESDAY, 5 OCTOBER 2010 

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 

LEGISLATURE OF THE PROVINCE OF THE 

EASTERN CAPE 

The House met at 10:00. 

_________ 

The Speaker took the Chair and requested members to observe a 

moment of silence for prayer and meditation. 

The SPEAKER: Please be seated. Hon members, I would like to 

acknowledge the presence of the King of Amarharhabe in our midst. 

Masikhe sikhahlele. Aa! Zanesizwe! 

Niza kuyifunda ke into yokokuba iPalamente ingatshintsha. Phakathi 

kwethu sinotata uMakhalima igqala apha emzabalazweni, kwakhona 

nelingu lePalamente elize phambi kwethu, ubawo uNdlovu kulo ndawo 

akuyo uyakuphakamisa nokuba sisandla. [Interjections.] 

Ndiyaqikelela ke ukuba akhona namanye amagqala. Sibonile kananjalo 

ukhona uSekela kulaNdlu yeNkosi uMnumzana uNcamashe. Nawe 

siyakwamkela Mhlekazi. Sinazo iiNkokheli zemibutho yezopolitiko 

ezize kusijonga apha ukuba sigquba kakuhle na. Ndimbonile uNobhala 

wePhondo, we-African National Congress. Nazo zonke ezinye 

iinkokheli ezikhona apha. 

Umasipala waseNkonkobe uMeya no-Speaker. Ndiyaqikelela ke ne- 

Amathole kuba sikuyo apha nabantu balapha e-Amathole neNkonkobe 

ke ngokubanzi. Sifuna ke ukunamkela kuleNdlu YoWiso-Mthetho 

esiveneyo ukuba mayize kuhlala apha. Ngalo mazwi ke ndifuna 

ukunamkela. 

Mr SPEAKER: We would like to announce formally that the event 

which we are holding here is “Taking the Legislature to the People”. It 

is a programme of the Legislature that takes place every October. Last 

time we were at OR Tambo. This time we are here at Amathole. We 

selected Nkonkobe. Somebody asked me a question why and I said 

Nkonkobe is a reflection of the rural areas. If we talk about the Eastern 

Cape we normally forget that when we are saying we are underdeveloped, 

some people talk about the former Transkei; they forget that 

there was a former Ciskei as well, which was a rural area. So we are 

here. We want to understand what the challenges are. 

Hon members, we have the honour of swearing in a new member of the 

Legislature. A vacancy occurred when the late hon Bam passed away 

from the ANC. In terms of Section 23 of the Electoral Act (Act 73 of 

1998), the party which the vacating member represented must fill the

vacancy by nominating a person whose name appears on the list of 

candidates from which that party’s members originally were nominated. 

We normally look at the next candidate’s name. I have been informed 

by the ANC that Ms Nomvuzo Cingo is nominated to fill the vacancy. I 

am advised and I am satisfied that the provisions of the Electoral Act has 

been complied with. It is therefore a pleasure to ask two hon Whips to 

present Ms Nomvuzo Cingo to the table. [Applause.] 

Ms Nomvuzo Cingo duly sworn in as a member of the Eastern Cape 

Legislature. 

[Applause.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Hon members, ladies and gentleman, before I ask the 

secretary to read the first Order of the day, I would like to inform the 

House that the speaker’s list and programme make provision for 

members of the public to ask questions and make comments after the 

chairperson’s presentation of the committee report. Members of the 

public are therefore requested to indicate by show of hand should they 

wish to speak. I shall acknowledge their hand in the order of speaking 

and a microphone will be handed to the persons that I will have 

acknowledged. 

I would also want to add that we would appeal to members of the public 

not to exceed three minutes when you are allowed that opportunity to 

speak. Hon members, for the period that the public is allowed to ask 

questions and replies are given by the hon MECs and hon members, the 

House shall be deemed to have been converted into a committee of the 

whole House, but in the interest of time there shall be no formal ringing 

of the bells or change of presiding officers in the House. 

PRESENTATION OF REPORT OF PORTFOLIO

CHAIRPERSON OF PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION:

Siphume uphulo siyikomiti sijikeleza lomantla waseNkonkobe saze

izikolo zale ngingqi. 

Ndiya-straight ke phaya page 313 phaya kukho first sets of 

recommendations. Kwisikolo sokuqala ebesisivizithele eBalfour 

Primary School, the very poor are in this locality. 

Recommendations; 

(a) The Department must ensure that the issue of wrong quintiles is 

addressed as a matter of urgency. The Committee must be 

furnished with a progress report on this regard that take that 

there is also a House resolution in relation to the same matter. 

(b) The Department must include the schools in the priority list of 

schools that needs scholar transport before it approves the tender 

on scholar transport. 

(c) The Department must ensure that the school is supplied with the 

relevant equipment for the school nutrition programme. 

(d) The Department must assist this school with a school caretaker 

as a matter of urgency. 

(e) The Department of Housing must visit the area to access the 

situation. Houses in this area need urgent attention, as the area 

is regarded as one of the poorest areas in this locality. 

(f) The Department must build a satellite office in the area in order 

for the surrounding schools to be easily serviced. The school 

took a resolution that circuit offices should be build nearby or 

around schools that are to be serviced. 

(g) Sister departments such as Health and Social Development 

should be roped in to assist with the scourge of HIV/AIDS. 

Economists should visit the school and the area to look at the 

prospects of starting projects that will assist the youth and

school leavers to secure employment as the area has potential 

for economic growth. 

These are the recommendation in relation to Balfour Primary 

School. 

Page 314 - Thobelani High School 

Recommendations 

(a) The district offices must ensure that all schools that need 

scholar transport are included on the list before the approval 

of the scholar transport tender. 

(b) The Department must assist by building a school, as the cost 

of renovation will be more than the building of a new 

school. 

(c) The Department must prioritize the issue of building proper 

toilets for schools that are in dire need as this poses a health 

hazard to both learners and educators. This is also an 

infringement of the right human dignity of learners and 

educators as enshrined in our Constitution. 

(d) The Department must provide proper fencing for these 

schools. 

(e) The Department must speed up the employment of the 

mathematics and science educators in all schools that are in 

need of such. 

(f) The Department must assist schools with mobile classrooms 

while waiting for proper structures to be built in order to 

curb overcrowding. The Department must also ensure that 

the school is included in the priority list due to its bad 

condition. 

Healdtown 

Siyayazi i-Healdtown yile inembhali kweli lizwe loMzantsi-Afrika. 

Findings 

(a) The school is facing a challenge with regard to scholar 

transport. Learners had to travel long distances to and from 

school. 

(b) The school introduced Computer Application Technology 

(CAT) but was advised by the District Office to withdraw the 

subject because they had no means to service the computers. 

(c) There is no fencing around the school and this impact on safety 

and security of the school. 

(d) The school had a Board of Trustees which operates outside the 

SGB. A Historica School Restoration Project, led by Reverend 

Ndungane is also operating outside the SGB policies. 

(e) Petro SA has made a commitment to build hostels for the 

schools.

(f) The SGB members need to be capacitated on how to manage the 

school. 


(a) The Department must urgently include the school on its priority 

list before the scholar tender is approved. 

(b) The Department must furnish the Portfolio Committee with a 

report explaining the kind of assistance they will provide to 

alleviate the situation. 

(c) The Department must provide the school with proper fencing. 

(d) The Department must furnish the Portfolio Committee with the 

report regarding the Board of Trustees and the Historical School 

Restoration Project within 30 days after the adoption of the

Kwesi sikolo ezi-bodies ziriprezentwa ngabantu aba outside drawn from 

all the provinces but i-SGB yesi sikolo zange yabizwa ixelelwe ukuba 

ezi-fund raising zenzekayo kwesi sikolo zihamba njani na and i- 

Portfolio Committee could not understand ukuba kufandireyizwe for 

ukuribhildwa kwe-Healdtown and yet SGB is not been involved. This is 

i-context esireyiza ngazo ezi-recommendation. 

(e) The Committee must be furnished with a detailed report 

regarding sponsors and donations for the project. 

(f) The Department must urgently organize management leadership 

workshop for the School Management Team (SMT) and the SGB 

that will explicitly define the role of these two structures in tehh 

school set-up. 

Nzululwazi High School 


(a) The Department must intervene to arrest the decline, and must 

also introduce enriching learning programmes. The school must 

be encourage to form partnership with Lovedale College and 

Fort Hare University to assist as an interim measure. 

(b) The Department of Education must assist the school in attracting 

good educators as this would help the school in improving its 

pass rate. 

(c) The Department must assist the school with books. The school 

should also be proactive and approach sponsors to donate books 

for the school library. The assistance of the Department of Sport 

Recreation, Arts and Culture should be sought to provide current 

and relevant books for the library. 

(d) It appears that vigorous in-service training is necessary to 

prepare prospective teachers, as well as thorough induction and 

on-going training for recently qualified teachers.

(e) The school needs to facilitate visits and talks with health 

professionals on issues such as teenage pregnancy, HIV and Aids 

and STIs. 

(f) The school should with the assistance of the Department arrange 

motivational talks for the learners in order to boost their moral. 

(g) The Department must provide the school with funds to refurbish 

the toilets, as this is a human dignity issue which is enshrined in 

the Constitution. 

(h) The Department must assist the school in resolving this matter, 

as it constitutes a violation of the labour laws of the country. 

(i) The Department must ensure that the school infrastructure is 

continually maintained to ensure that it does not deteriorate as 

has happened at other schools. 

(j) The school submitted a contestation which the Department 

should pay close attention to, given the socio-economic 

circumstances. 

(k) District Offices and the Head Office need to work together to 

ensure the success of this important project, as there appears to 

have been a breakdown in communication. 

Alice Primary School 


(a) The Department must consider appointing the acting principal as 

a matter of urgency, or follow appropriate labour/legal prescripts 

to appoint a principal. 

(b) Learner numbers permitting, the four educators should be 

appointed and the outgoing support staff replaced with 

immediate effect.

Education Specialist (CES), should look into the furniture 

shortage problem and arrange for the delivery of the suitable 

furniture promptly. 

(d) The Department must urgently help the school with proper 

equipment and material for the laboratory, and must assist the 

school in securing computers for the computer centre. In 

addition, the assistance of the Department of Sport, Recreation, 

Arts and Culture should be sought to provide current and 

relevant books for the library. 

(e) The relevant department authorities, together with the 

Department of Roads and Public Works must work on a plan to 

renovate the school before it completely disintegrates. The 

Department must also assist the school in planning to use the 

maintenance funds for the intended purpose. 

(f) Additional structures must be built to alleviate the current 

overcrowding, and the school should be assisted to stick to its 

planned admission quotas/intake. 

(g) The district must assist the school in building a collegial 

relationship between the school and its SGB and must investigate

the reasons for the apathetic parental involvement in school 

affairs. 

(h) Other sister departments such as Health, Social Development and 

Safety and Liaison should be roped in to assist in eradicating the 

scourge of drug abuse. 

(i) The EDO and Cluster C CES must arrange appropriate 

workshops to skill the teachers where they fall short. The used 

to facilitate these workshops. 

(j) The Department should look into ways to assist the school with 

contestation of quintile although admittedly, resolving the 

quintile contestation is a national competence. 

(k) The EDO and Cluster C CES must work with the school in 

working out an appropriate budget plan that will service the 

school accordingly. 

Fort Beaufort District Office 

I will touch both findings and recommendation as far as this school is 

concerned. We understand that the district office of Education in this 

area is facing serious challenges. 

Findings 

(a) The Fort Beaufort District is facing a challenge of instability due 

to the non-availability of a District Manager for quite sometime. 

(b) No-one has control over staff - the Acting District Director has 

only signing powers to keep the district going. Mr Gugwi’s 

appointment as Acting District Director is due to expire on the 

31 October 2010, and no other provision has been made by the 

Department with regard to the return of a displaced District 

Director. 

(c) The Department is communicating with the District Office 

through letters. Nobody is willing to come and sit with the 

district in a meeting situation. 

(d) The Cluster Chief Director who is attached to the district is 

allegedely not assisting the district in fact he is alleged to be 

implicated in fuelling the problems facing the districts. 

(e) The ad hoc arrangement in appointing an Acting District 

Director by the Head Office has proven to be unreliable. 

(f) The District does not have a District Director, who is currently 

displaced due to conflicts in the District Office. 

(g) Tensions caused by both internal and external stakeholders as 

well as allegations of factionalism are crippling the whole 

district. 


(a) The Department must speedily resolve the conflicts surrounding 

the District Director as a matter of urgency, as the district is in a 

state of collapse.

(b) The Department must appoint an Acting District Director with 

all the necessary powers to run the district in the interim. 

(c) The Department should ensure that it holds regular meetings 

with the district to assess problems and to chart a remedial plan 

of action. 

(d) The Head of Department must look into the alleged activities of 

the Chief Director and take appropriate steps to remedy the 

situation. 

(e) The terms and conditions of appointment of the Acting District 

Director must be worked out and tightened up. 

(f) The situation relating to the current displaced District Director 

must be speedily resolved by the Department. 

(g) The Department must facilitate a meeting of all stakeholders of 

the district that is within Nkonkobe to resolve the impasse in the 

district and a report must be forwarded to the Portfolio 

Committee within 30 days after the adoption of this report. 

General findings 

(a) Most schools in this area are placed in wrong quintile, which 

results in schools and learners being disadvantaged. 

(b) The criteria used in prioritizing the school infrastructure and the 

role players needs to be reviewed as it poses challenges in certain 

schools. 

(c) Most of the schools visited by the Committee are faced with a 

shortage of classrooms. 

(d) At most of the schools visited, the toilets are not fit for human 

use. 

(e) There is no scholar transport at any of the schools visited. 

(f) Schools need proper fencing to ensure the safety of learners and 

educators to safeguard school property. 

(g) Learners are generally demotivated, resulting in poor academic 

performance. 

(h) There is a shortage of properly skilled teachers in mathematics 

and science. 

General recommendations 

(a) The Department must furnish the Committee with a detailed 

report regarding the quintile system. 

(b) The Department must furnish the Committee with a gazette list 

of schools to be built for 2011/12. 

(c) The Department must furnish the Committee with a gazette list 

of schools to be given new classrooms. 

(d) The Department must provide schools with maintenance funds to 

refurbish and build toilets. 

(e) The Department must provide the Committee with a list of 

schools to be provided with scholar transport as a matter of 

urgency.

(f) The Department must provide proper fencing for all these 

schools. 

(g) The schools together with the Department must arrange for 

motivational speakers to visit schools and organize enriching 

learning programmes. 

(h) The Department must assist schools in attracting qualified 

mathematics and science educators. 

We were informed that in these schools teachers ezifundisa mathematics 

and science zi expatriates and ezo expatriates zizakuphelelwa 

ngumsebenzi in due course or foreign nationals if you like and 

zizakuphelelwa ngumsebenzi in due course. Sithe i-Department 

mayikhawuleze i-inthavine as i-situation is bad in these schools. This is 

the report that we are presenting to this House and we hope that it will 

be supported. I thank you Mr Speaker. [Applause.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi mhlali ngaphambili. Ndicetyisiwe ke apha 

ukuba mandikhumbule isiXhosa kuba ndibona naba bantu bamameleyo 

abazifaki ezi zinto bebexelelwe ngazo mhlawumbi abacacelwanga 

kakuhle. Kodwa ke ngoku kufike ixesha labantu njengokuba besitshilo 

sithetha ngomcimbi wezemfundo. Ndenzela ke ukuba umntu akwazi 

ukuzazi xa ephuma emxholweni. Kodwa ke asizokuxelela ukuba thetha 

ngantoni ungathethi ngantoni ukuba uthetha ngemfundo kodwa ke 

ebethetha ngezi zikolo ebethetha ngazo. Lithuba ke ngoku labantu 

balapha eNkonkobe. Benditshilo ke ukuba umntu uthetha angagqithi 

kwimizuzu emithathu. 

Sizakuthatha abantu abalishumi (10) singegqithi apho. Eminye imibuzo 

engalandela iyabhalwa iziswe apha ngaphambili. Ndiqala ke apho 

ungunamba 1, ungunamba 2 mama, ungunamba 3 wena wencwadi, 

ungunamba 4 lo ungaphambili, ungunamba 5 wena usemva unephepha 

elimhlophe, ubengunamba 6 wena kwakhona usemva apho elayinini, 

ubengunamba 7 wena unesandla sekaki on the left hand side, 

ndizakubona ngokuthoba ke ukuba uvile ukuba ungunamba 7, 

ungunamba 8 wena mama, lowa unencwadi ebomvu ungunamba 9, eliya 

phepha linejezi e-green ngunamba 10 and ngowokugqibela. 

Ndiyathemba ke ukuba unamba 1 uyazazi, makaqale, makusiwe kuye 

into yokuthetha. 

Mr M SAWULI: Ndiyabulisa kuwe Speaker, ndibulisa neeNkokheli 

ezikhoyo, ndibulisa noluntu lonke lwalapha eNkonkobe nase-Amathole. 

Igama lam ndinguMphithizeli Sawuli ndisuka kule area yaseSeymour 

kwindawo ukuthiwa yi-Blackwoods. 

Mr Speaker ndimamele iripoti yale komiti ithi ibivizithe izikolo phaya 

eSeymour, ibivizithe iThobelani. Ikomiti ayiyixeli ncam ukuba imbi 

kangakanani imeko ye-scholar transport phaya. Ilula njengokuba 

beyibhala apha ephepheni and ayivakali ncam. I-serious indaba yescholar 

transport.

Zibini ezi zikolo zichaphazelekayo phaya enye yi-primary school i- 

Juliate Mahonga. Kula ndawo ndihlala kuyo kukho abantwana abasuka 

khona abanye benza u-Grade R bahamba ngenyama about 10km ukuya 

kule primary school. Abanye abaya e-primary school basuka eRaysdale 

kude kule yam ilali, bagqitha kule yam ilali ndicinga ukuba bahamba 

about 20km ukuya eThobelani. Yiyo lento ndithi le ripoti inciphile. 

Umbuzo ke endinokuwubuza apha ku-MEC we-Education kukuba 

njengokuba kudala le-programme iqhuba kangaka ye-scholar transport 

kutheni singazange sixhamle thina? Mhlawumbi ukuba siza kuxhamla 

siza kuxhamla only ngokuse kuye lekomiti iyileyo khona. Nanko 

umbuzo wam. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Umntu wesibini. 

Ms N DIDIZA: Mandibulise kwisithethi sePalamente, ndibulise neNdlu 

yonke iphela. NdinguNoxolo Nomabhele Didiza iBhelekazi elimdaka 

ndingowaseNxukhwebe. Kula ripoti yaseNxukhwebe ndinqwenela nje 

ukulungisa indawo yokuba i-SGB ayixelelwanga. Ndingomnye we- 

Board Members ngoko ke ndinalo ulwazi lwezinto eziqhubekayo. 

Izanyiwe ukuxelelwa i-SGB sithethi, kwiripoti ye-24 kaMeyi 2008 u- 

Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane uyihambise ngokwakhe 

ebhaliweyo. Emveni koko sizamile noxa ke singekalungi 

kwezilandelayo. Ndiyaqiniseka zakulunga zaziswe iripoti. 

Malunga nengxelo le ye-district, ingingqi yemfundo apha eBhofolo. 

Kubuhlungu nakum njengomfundisi-ntsapho, ndiqinisekile ukuba 

kubuhlungu kuthi sisonke bantu baseNkonkobe. Ndifuna ke ukufaka 

umngeni, ndifuna ukuwucela ngolu hlobo. Khanike nisinikele thina 

bantu bakhulu sikhe siqale ngokuklina umphandle wala District, 

ucoceko which is next to Godliness. Sicoce sisonke singabantu 

baseNkonkobe sisuse ubumdaka outside that District. Sidibene 

nabantwana bethu sibafundisa izinto zethu. 

Ndifuna ukufaka umngeni kula malungu asuka ePalamente eKapa 

ezantsi sikhe siyenzeni lonto. Mna ke ndime apha ndingaqala nangomso 

lo usayo ukuba ndingasinikwa nje eso support sokuba sikhe sicoce 

kuqala kukhe kuphefumle umoya ozakujikeleza. Enkosi sithethi. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Sakusele siqhuba ngolo hlobo ke umntu aqale 

azichaze. Bendiyiphazamile londawo. Ngena mhlekazi? 

Mr DIKELA : Ndiyabulela mhlali ngaphambili. NguMqwathi lo uthetha 

apha uDikela utishala ngaphaya eXesi okwathwele ityepusi kaSADTU. 

Usihlalo lowa uzibizile izikolo azivizitheleyoa, wayibiza iKama High 

School. Apha kwi-recommendation yakhe khange achaze nto ngeKama. 

Mandithi ke ukuba iKama bayiphosile makachaze ukuba baya kuphinda 

baye nini na kuyo?

Okwesibini, ngokwe-stability kwi-District Office kurikhomendwa apha 

uku-apoyintwa kwe-Acting District Director with full powers. Lonto 

leyo yayenziwe ngu-MEC of Education uQwase e-apoyinta uMr Deliwe 

owayengazange alibeke unyawo kula District Office. Zange bamnike 

support beyileNdlu yoWiso-Mthetho. Zange aphinde abuye noMr 

Qwase achaze ukuba kutheni na kungakhange ku-apoyintwe uMr 

Deliwe apha. 

Ndifuna ukuphinda ndicinezele umnwe inokuba ngoweshumi elinesibini 

(12) u-Acting District Director lo unguMr Gugwini phaya, there is no 

stability in that office. Okulandelayo xa besithi banika la office 30 days 

ukuba mayibize i-stakeholders meeting ngubani abamnike lo duty? 

Oko kugqibela, kune-expatriates apha ingakumbi kulamandla waseXesi 

nalapha eBhofolo zagxothwa kudala azisaphangeli ezititsha i-maths nescience 

ezo zikolo ziyaqhwalela until today, ndingakufenisha 

ngamagama ezo zikolo xa uwafuna. Ndiyabulela. 

Mr SPEAKER: Sifuna yonke into mhlekazi ungamane usithi 

uzakuphinde usinike ngoba awusobe uphinde uthethe ngoku. Namba 4. 

[Interjections.] Khawumnike,khawumnike. 

Mr DIKELA: YiMphumzi High School, yiJosi-Marele, kuseMdeni, 

kuseKama zezona zikolo zifike kuqala kum ke ezo bezine-expatriates 

ezo-expatriates zivalelwe ngoku ngaphandle, zagqibela ngoMatshi 

nokupeya ezo expatriates ezo. Enkosi. 

Mr SPEAKER: Masigqithele ke kolandelayo. 

Ms KAMA: Speaker namalungu abekekileyo ePalamente, uKumkani, 

naye wonke umntu weNkonkobe okhoyo mandizibulisele. 

Ndingunkosikazi Kama, iNkosi yamaGqunukhwebe apha eXesi.

yamaGqunukhwebe kodwa uthi ubuyile kodwa iripoti asikayifumani. 

Ndisekela utishala lo ebegqiba kuthetha apha. 

Okwesibini, ngokuba uthetha nge-District Office mna andisenamoto 

kukuquqa kula office yenu eZwelitsha sihambela lomcimbi. Singabanye 

apha sijongwe ngezikhondo zamehlo kuba sifuna kulunge i-District 

Office. Abantwana bethu bayasafarisha. Aba bantu benza lento apha 

abantwana babo base zidolophini abachaphazeleki. 

Kungelishwa ke into yokokuba kudala siyihambela lento. U-District 

Manager ongumama kulena i-District usoloko ekhutshwa ngomnyango 

isizathu sesi sisifunayo.

Ndiyakuva apha uthetha nge- satellite offices. Zezi zigquba 

iimpungutye azisebenzi, isizathu siyasifuna yintoni unobangela. Nalapha 

ngoku ubuhleli ne-District Office zithetha nge-stakeholders not even a 

single day aba bantu uthi babambele ngoku uthi zi-stakeholders ezisithi 

sisiya kuxoxa ngemfundo yabantwana bethu. Leyo into ndifuna 

iqapheleke kakhulu. Enkosi. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Olandelayo? 

Ms S MKHWAYIMBA: Ndiyabulisa kumhlali ngaphambili nabantu 

bePalamente bonke nabahlali. Lo uthethayo nguSelina Mkhwayimba, u- 

Ward Committee wakwa-Ward 12 eMsobomvu. Umbuzo wam 

wokuqala ubusithi bendicela ukubuza ukuba ngeliya xesha bekusenziwa 

le visit ebheka kwezi zikolo bekuthathwe eyiphi i-criteria? Kuba sonke 

sinengxaki yezikolo akukhange kuyiwe kuzo. 

Ndine-Secondary phaya ekuthiwa yi-Elukhanyisweni itishala ye-science

Yonke lento ibichazwa apha siyachaphazeleka kweziya zikolo

ziyachaphazeleka zichazwa apha. Enkosi mhlali ngaphambili. 

Mr SPEAKER: Olandelayo. 

Mr M ZAMO: Enkosi Speaker. Ndinemibuzo nje mithathu ….. 

Mr SPEAKER: Ungubani kuqala? 

Mr M ZAMO : Igama lam nguMonwabisi Zamo ndisuka apha eXesi. 

Ndibawela ukuba sikhe sazi kulo mcimbi wokukhutshwa kwe-tenders 

apha ekwakhiweni kwezikolo nokurenoveyithwa kwazo. Sinengxaki 

enkulu ziyakhutshwa i-tenders zisikelwe umlinganiselo that isikolo must 

be finished mhlawumbi ngenyanga ezisibhozo. Kodwa you will find that 

izikolo zethu zisuka kunyaka zigqibe i-2 years ibe kanti nalapho kulo 2 

years azikagqibakali. Moreover ufumanise into yokokuba ngoku sele 

sakhiwe akukangeni kwa abantu ngaphakathi sele sinentanda esinazo. 

Ndifuna ukutshekitsha into yokokuba i-criteria yokujonga i-capacity yecontractors 

ezifumana i-tenders uthini uRulumente ngazo? 

Eyesibini, kukho le question ye-nutrition abatyi ngoku abantwana. 

Kuvele kubekho i-break ongayaziyo ukuba yenziwa yintoni na where 

you will find out into yokokuba ukutya kwenyanga, kuyaziwa into 

yokokuba kuzakuphela ngexesha elithini na kodwa iya ku-ova lepha 

lento up to 2 months abantwana bengatyi esikolweni. Ndifuna ukujonga 

okanye ukutshekitsha that i-monitoring okanye i-system ekusetyenzwa

ngayo ebuRulumenteni concerning naba bantu bafumana i-tenders 

ingaba iyalandelwa na ngendlela efanelekileyo? 

Lastly, phaya thina singamalungu e-SGB you will that into yokokuba 

kunotishala abaphangelayo abakhona kwi-system izinto zabo 

ziyakuqhutywa ngendlela efanelekileyo but ufumanise ukuba i-service 

yakhe ivele yathemineyithwa utishala angapeyi into ephaya kwi-6 

months. Ayiquqele lonto efuna ukutshekisha into yokokuba kutheni 

engakwazi ukufumana umvuzo wakhe kutshonwe kuvelwa. Fortunately 

ke amalungu kaSADTU azamile ukuyihayilayita lento. Sinengxaki ke 

enkulu abantu abavuka yonke le mihla bephangela, bephangela ilize. 

Ndifuna ukutshekitsha ukuba imali xa ikwi-system, ikwi-pending ube 

usazi into yokokuba inomntu ebifanele ukuba iya kuye kodwa ayide 

ifikelele kuye uthini uRulumente xa esibenza i-audit yakhe 

ekugqibeleni? Enkosi. 

Mr SPEAKER: Olandelayo. 

Mr SMUTS: Ndiyazibulisela kuSomlomo wePalamente kunye 

namalungu onke asePalamente nabantu abalapha. Mna ndinguSmuts 

waseNxuba. Andizokubuza mbuzo because nam ndiseburhulumenteni 

qha ndifuna ukucela into yokokuba iNxuba iphantsi kwe-Fort Beaufort 

district, it means kwa-Education. Ndicela ke ukuthi njengokuba ebesele 

etshilo uSomlomo ukuba baqale e-OR Tambo now beza apha, it simply 

means that iNxuba njengokuba ingavizithelwanga yona ayinakuze 

iphinde ivizithelwe kuba siphantsi kwe-Fort Beaufort District Education. 

Therefore ndiyacela mna Somlomo ukuba ingumnqweno wam ingase 

sifumane i-visit. Ndiyayibulela nento eyenziwe yiPalamente 

yokuvizithela zonke izikolo ne-recommendations ezintle ezinikwe ngu- 

Chairperson. Enkosi 

Mr SPEAKER: Olandelayo? 

Mr S BLOM: Siyabulisa ke phaya kuSomlomo, sibulise kubaphathi 

bePalamente nakuni ke zingotya ezilapha bahlekazi. Mna ndinguSicelo 

Blom ndisuka phaya eNorth End Tyhume kwindawo ekuthiwa 

kuseHopefield. Endicela ke ukuba lombuzo wam ukuba awuphumeleli 

ubhalwe nje. 

Kukho ingxaki enjena phaya kula macala ethu ingakumbi phaya elalini 

yam, ndingu-SGB phaya. Sinengxaki phaya eyaqala ngo-1996 

sisherisha isikolo se-primary lonto yenza i-hectic problems ndiyabona 

into yokokuba i-period zethu azifani. Lets say i-break ye-primary ingene 

ngexesha elithile thina siseklasini e-secondary. Kuphinde kwelicala le 

nutrition bayatya ngapha bayaphazamisa apha eziklasini. 

Sele ndisitsho ke ezo zikolo zinjalo ayisiso sodwa. Akukho ndlela na 

ekunokukhe kubonwe zikhe zizanyelwe nazo ukwakhelwa because 

siphela ku-Grade 10 oko ke sahlala phaya from 1996 or 1995 ukuba

ndibala kakuhle. Bendicela ke noko ukuba umcimbi onjalo nikhe 

niwuqwalasele. Enkosi. 

Mr T BANGANI: NdinguThemba kaBangani mna ndisuka phaya 

eWandile-Hlobo kwa-Ward 6. Ndifuna ukuzibuzela nje utata 

uzikhavarishile ezinye izinto ngokwalapha kule Department yakwa- 

Education. But ndine-problem endicinga into yokokuba mandiyireyize. 

Sithi makunyulwe u-Acting District Director with immediate effect 

simse eBhofolo. I-problem yam ingaba uzakufika injani lanto? Ngoba 

besiyenzile mos lento ayikhange ilunge. Ngoku ithini i-assurity yokuba 

izakuphinde ilunge ngoku? Ngokuba ingxaki asikhange sive nto 

nangaba bantu bebedistebhelayiza besenza la- pandemonium phaya 

ukuba benziwe ntoni na. Ingaba ke ngoku lona siza kumsa phaya 

uzakufika ahlale kakuhle kula pandemonium iqhubekayo phaya? 

Isicelo ke sesibini sesokuba xa sele kubonwa lo District Director aze 

angajongwa phaya ngaphakathi ajongwe ngaphandle. Siyayicela lonto. 

Mr SPEAKER: Inokuba kusondele owokugqibela ngoku. 

[Interjections.] Hayi ayisinguwe mama andikhange ndikukhombe. 

Nankuya ngasemva engento ebomvu. 

Mr MAYIHLOME: Ndiyabulela Somlomo. Mandibulise kumalungu 

ePalamente ngokubanzi. Igama lam ndinguMayihlome ndiphaya eFort 

Hare. Kwi-report ka-Chairperson andikhange ndive nto ithetha nge- 

Institutions of Higher Learning. Andazi nokuba asigqalwa njengabantu 

abaphantsi kwela sebe na. Kodwa ke imibuzo yam yile. 

Sinengxaki eFort Hare in terms of funding and bursary zabafundi 

namely FUNZA LUSHAKA no-Social Development. UPremier yayethe 

kwi-State of the Province address sakhe we must prioritize education 

nokufunwa but phaya kuthi esikolweni we continue to have abantu who 

are studying towards la field yakwa-education begxothwa sisikolo 

ngenxa yengxaki zemali. 

Now I wanted to check can the Premier arrange something seeing that 

sikwi-crisis yotishala? Akunakukwazi na ukuba kusoswe funding 

somewhere to assist those students? 

On issue yakwa-Social Development sinabafundi abanengxaki to access 

their funds. Now I wanted to check ukuba i-problem does it lay with the 

department okanye ibasesikolweni na? Because when you enquire uye 

uve isithi i-department imali iyithumele kodwa isikolo sithi 

asiyifumenanga on the other hand. Now bendifuna ukutshekisha ukuba 

uthini umcimbi walanto? Enkosi 

Mr SPEAKER: Owokugqibela ke ngoku. 

Mr Z MBOTHO: Somlomo wePalamente, amalungu onke akhoyo apha 

eNdlini. NdinguZukisile ka Mbotho ndiphuma phaya eBhofolo. Kwiquestion 

ye-District Director ndicinga into yokokuba inida i-sense of

urgency kakhulu lanto because kudala iloluya hlobo kwaye 

kuyanyanzeleka we consult all the stakeholders ezikhoyo ezi-relevant 

ukudilishana nala mcimbi waphaya so that uzokusotwa kwakamsinyana 

because it affects or it impacts kwi-service delivery lanto ayihambi 

kakuhle yonke imeko apha kwi-District. 

Okwesibini kune-question endifuna ukuyibhekisa directly ku-MEC 

wakwa-Education uMr Qwase concerning i-issue ye-temporal educators 

we received i-circular concerning educators ezi-temps that 

zizakuthemineyithelwa i-services. Ndifuna ukutshekisha into yokokuba 

why kukho lo decision and yet we understand that each and every school 

esinalo temporally educator ikwi-need kweso sikolo. Because when we 

received that circular sifumanise into yokokuba kukhankanywa umcimbi 

wezezimali ukuba zinqongophele izimali ePhondweni. 

Okwesithathu, apha kule ngingqi yethu ingakumbi phaya eBhofolo 

kune-High School ekuthiwa yi-Eyabantu phaya ukuba unokuya phaya 

idlaka-dlaka kakhulu and la High School iseva abantwana abaninzi 

abahlala kula ngingqi. But uyakufika akukhonto yenzekayo and le 

ngxaki yokwakhiwa kwezikolo ndiyaphawula ukuba yingxaki 

echaphazela phantse yonke lengingqi yaseNkonkobe. Kuyabonakala 

into yokokuba isebe lezemfundo lirhuqa iinyawo kulo mcimbi 

wezikolo. Ngoba nokuba unokuya phaya ezilalini kunesikolo phaya 

esasi-afekthwe yi-disaster kudala ekuthiwa yiNothondo naso asiboni nto 

yenziwayo. Andiyazi ukuba uRulumente yintoni ebangela ukuba arhuqe 

iinyawo. Ndizama ukuthi ke uRulumente makangxame kakhulu kulo 

mcimbi wezikolo. Akukho sikolo sisibonayo sakhiwayo apha. Ngoko 

wayethe uMfundisi uStofile ………[Interjections.] 

Mr Speaker: Iyaphela i-3 minutes. 

Mr Z MBOTHO: Wayethe uMfundisi uStofile esaphethe apha 

ePhondweni akakwazi ukwakha isikolo kungekho 2km in between 

kubekho enye i-high school nenye i-high school. But ukuba unokuya 

eBhofolo uyakufumanisa into yokokuba yilokishi enkulu and ikhulile 

ngoku. Uyakuphawula into yokokuba even ilindle phaya labantu 

ayilolindle licocekileyo. Lonto izakuchaphazela abantwana nakwimpilo 

yabo. So ndifuna ukuthi uRulumente makayiqwalasele lonto 

…[Interjections.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Liphelile ixesha mhlekazi. Ngoku ke siza kucela 

amalungu azakuphendula esuka kwezi ndawo akuzo, kule mibuzo. 

Enkosi. 

The CHAIRPERSON OF PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON 

EDUCATION: Mandibulele Somlomo. Ndibulele kwakhona kule 

mibuzo. Ikomiti izakuncedisa apho iqonda ukuba siyasilela khona, 

akhona amalungu ekomiti ndikhokela i-Multi Party Committee here that 

constitute zonke ezi political parties zilapha.

Masiqale ngombuzo wokuqala Somlomo kaMnumzana Sawuli phaya 

eSeymour kwi-area ekuthiwa yiBlackwood. Masiyitsho into ethi 

sizifumene i-petitions zesiya sikolo. Zi-roots zintathu eziya kwesiya 

sikolo zontathu ezi roots azizange zabane-scholar transport yi-farm 

community. 

Ne-petition yaseRiezdale siyifumene. And ngoku besivizithele eziya 

zikolo besithe makubizwe ne-stakeholders so that we communicate 

response ngokwe-investigation yethu. Ngenene asikho i-scholar 

transport phaya. Ndicinga ke ukuba lento ine-scholar transport uMEC 

uzakwengeza ukuthi kwenzeka ntoni ngoku ngezi zikolo zingazange 

ziyixhamle into ye-scholar transport. 

Ndize kumama uNoxolo, i-SGB yaseNxukhwebe. Besihleli ne-SGB 

phaya in fact ukuba belikhona ixesha bendiya kunaba ngesa sikolo. Yi- 

SGB ngokwayo ethi ayiyazi nokuba kubethwa abaphi apha esikolweni 

nge-Board of Trustees kunye nale project ikhokelwa nguMfundisi 

uNdungane. Ibona nje kuhlala iintlanganiso zange yona yabizwa 

okanye ayimelwanga nokumelwa kweza Committees. And iunderstanding 

yethu yinto yokokuba i-SGB is a governing body all other 

committees zesikolo zi sub-committees ze-SGB. Simuva kulo premise 

thina and if i-SGB is not part and parcel in terms of the policy of the 

Department of Education and then it means ikhona ingxaki apho. 

Sithe ke phaya sizakuphinde sibuye because sifike u-principal engekho 

kwesiya sikolo, sathi sizakuphinda sisivizithele esiya sikolo siyikomiti 

xa kukho wonke umntu sive kanye ibali lesisikolo ukuba lithini na. 

Andizokuyiphikisa lento uyithethayo mama kodwa yi-information 

esiyifumene kwi-members ze-SGB. 

Siye kwinto ye-District Office - cleaning. Unyanisile kumdaka phaya 

siyitshilo lonto sathi hayi i-intervention iyafuneka because zonke iidepartments 

zikaRulumente uninzi lwazo luphaya e-Cape College, 

kodwa akukho namnye umntu oyise so into yokuqinisekisa into 

yokokuba kuyaklinwa kweziya premises. Yenye yezinto 

esiyinowuthileyo leyo. Ukuba ke umama uthi bazakuqokelelana 

bengomama balangingqi bavolontiye, bakline hayi ndicinga ukuba leyo 

yeyonanto ilindelekileyo leyo baxhase uRulumente wabo. Intle lonto. 

[Interjections.] 

Eyesithathu i-question iphaya kumntu othi unguDyi, uDikela uthetha 

ngeKama High School. Mhlawumbi ke kungenxa yokungxama sitshilo 

phaya kwiripoti sathi siyile kwesiya sikolo safika kutixiwe neegeyithi. 

Sabiza u-Acting District Director kuba engekho u-District Director. 

Ngoba besithume i-District Office to facilitate i-meeting ye-stakeholders 

kweziya zikolo. Safumanisa ukuba ayenzekanga lonto u-principal uvale 

i-phone, everybody uvale i-phone kwesiya sikolo. Sanyanzeleka ke into 

yokokuba simke singadibenanga namntu sisibona ngaphandle ukuba 

ikhona ingxaki ekhoyo. Ndizama ukuthi ke sifike kutixiwe kwesiya

sikolo njengokuba iripoti isitsho sathatha isigqibo sokuba sakuphinde 

sifumane ixesha siye. 

Satellite office - uyayireyiza ke kwakhona into ye-Acting District 

Director. Sivene siyi-Portfolio Committee besiphaya kule veki 

iphelileyo, savanna into yokokuba awusoze uyisombulule ingxaki 

yaphaya kukho i-stakeholders ezingekhoyo. Therefore siyanyanzeleka 

siyikomiti siphinde sibuyele back sele sihamba noNdlu-nkulu we- 

Department of Education because kuyatyholwana phaya. 

Ireyiziwe into yotishala abangengobalapha eMzantsi Afrika. 

Siyinowuthile thina sathi siza kuyigqithisela kwi-Department, ndicinga 

ukuba u-MEC uzakusiphendulela kulomba we-expatriates okanye iforeign 

nationals ezilapha. 

UNkosi uKama iNkosi yamaGqunukhwebe ngendikhahlela! Besidibene 

phaya kwisikolo sakuNtabakandoda kweziveki zintathu/zine 

zigqithileyo noNkosi lowa. La District yakhe ifola phantsi kwe-King 

District ayikho phantsi kwe-Fort Beaufort. [Interjections.] Ndithetha 

ngeNtabakandoda. Kodwa yena uhlala kulo mandla. 

Sithi ke ukubangaba i-stakeholders zaphaya zikhona, sivile ngeeducation 

forum ekhoyo phaya engakhange ifumaneke ngala mini, 

sithathe isigqibo sokubuyela back kwesiya sikolo sifumane zonke istakeholders 

sidile neengxaki ezikhoyo phaya. Siyayivuma langxaki 

ayitshoyo. 

Satellite offices – Kunesigqibo apha se-House esithi makwakhiwe icircuit 

offices closer to schools kusenziwa ke i-organogram. Ikhona 

lonto kwi-organogram. So that ezingingqi zikhala nge-offices ezikude 

izakukhavarishwa ngesiya sigqibo sendlu-yolawulo, kugqitywe iorganogram 

e-akhomodeyitha le demand. 

Ward 12 eMsobomvu. Ithini criteria esetyenziwayo ukuvizitha ezi 

zikolo. Siba ne-petition esinazo phaya ebuRulumenteni ekufuneka 

siziphendule ezinye sizilandele. Kuphinde unxibelelwano lube phakathi 

kwethu ne-District Office. Sithi kwi-District Office mayisikhangelele 

izikolo ecinga ukuba zifuna i-attention ye-Portfolio Committee. 

Sifumane ke lo list yezo zikolo senze ngolo hlobo. Asikwazi ke kodwa 

ukuzivizithela zonke izikolo ngethutyana, siye sizithathe ngesiqendungesiqendu. 

Nezo ke singafikelelanga kuzo ngeli xesha sakukwazi 

ukufikelela kuzo ngenye imini. Kodwa ezinye i-petitions siyafikelela 

kuzo siqinisekise into yokokuba siyaphendula. 

ULukhanyisweni – yenye yezikolo ke echaphazelekayo. Ithini idistance 

kulento ine-scholar transport. UMEC uzakuyiphendula lento 

kodwa sicinga ukuba ithetha ngo-3 km from the school okanye from 

home. Any child ohamba more than that distance i-scholar transport 

uyakhwalifaya kuso.

Monwabisi phaya eXesi. Ine-tender ke le question kodwa kubu-tender 

bayo ithi izikolo ezakhiwe lisebe azigqitywa ngexesha eli-prescribed 

okanye ekuvunyelwene ngalo ne-contractor ngenxa yengxaki ezithile. 

Izikolo ezithi zisakhiwa zibe zidilika. 

Hayi uMphathiswa uzakusincedisa kulena i-question ye-shorty work 

ayinguye yedwa ukhona noMphathiswa wakwa-Public Works 

bazakusincedisa kulo mcimbi. 

Nutrition – no feeding. Injalo kwezinye zezikolo ebesizihambele 

akutyiwa nyani, abatyi abantwana. Zikhona ke iingxaki kodwa ndicinga 

ukuba nale i-question uMphathiswa uyinowuthile uzakukwazi 

ukusiphendula ukuba kwenzeka ntoni ngale tender yento edibene 

nokutya. 

Non-payment of teachers. Ootishala abangabhatalekiyo ekuthiwa 

bagqityelwa ukubhatalwa ngoMatshi including the expatriates sithini 

isizathu. Utsho lombuzo. Hayi uMphathiswa ukhona uzakukwazi 

ukuyingcambazisa le-question, edibene nokuhlawula. Kaloku isizathu i- 

Portfolio Committee inika i-budget uMphathiswa and then ayahlulahlule 

ke uMphathiswa abenengxaki anazo asiphendule. 

Ithethe ukuthini lento ithi “authorized/pending”? Imali ivele kwicomputer 

kuthiwe authorized kodwa ingaze ifike emntwini wayo. Hayi 

uMEC uzakuniphendula phaya. [Interjections.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Mhlali ngaphambili sukuyiphinda lemibuzo ukuba 

awuzokuyiphendula, yitsibe uphendule le ukwazi ukuyiphendula. 

The CHAIRPERSON OF PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON 

EDUCATION: Smuts eNxuba yi-comment leya. I-Bedford ne-Adeliade 

ibizezinye zezikolo ebesizifake engxoweni ukuzivizithela, kwacaca 

ukuba unxibelelwano alukhange lube luhle. Saqonda ukuba 

masiyibekele kwi-second round ye-visits zethu. Iyi-priority kuthi i- 

Bedford siyayazi ukuba kukho isikolo phaya ekuthiwa yiLonwabo High 

esikwimeko engathandekiyo nge-performance. Sizakuya kweziya 

zikolo, mandiyenze lo commitment here. 

Platooning system. Kukho izikolo ezabelana nge-building, kungena 

esinye kusasa siphume ngo-12h00. UMphathiswa uzakuyiqwalasela. 

[Interjections.] Themba waseAdelford, District Office Fort Beaufort. 

Ndizakugqibela ngayo le question ye-District Office yase- Fort Beaufort 

because ikhatha across i-questions. 

Masiye kuMayihlome, Higher Learning. Hayi sinayo i-programme 

yethu of action ezakuvizithela zonke i-FET, zosibhozo apha 

ePhondweni, ivizithele zonke i-special schools. Sitshilo sathi kuba ihigher 

education ingeyo-competency yethu kodwa i-located kule 

Province. Satsho sathi sine-commitment yokuya kwi-high schools, 

kodwa okwangoku i-priority ibisezezi zikolo ziphantsi kwesebe lethu

lezemfundo currently eziyi-competency ye-Province. Asiziniglethanga 

kodwa siyacinga ukuba imeko yazo iyaqwalaselwa na nationally. 

Bursaries - FUNZA LUTSHAKA. Le question ke andizokuyazi kuba 

kuthethwa nge-office kaPremier. Kodwa into endiyaziyo yinto 

yokokuba kudivelophwe ipolisi on bursaries so that kube ne-consistence 

across departments. I-Department of Education iyinxalenye yalonto. 

Ukuba ke ikhona into eyenye eyenzekayo ngaphandle kwale policy 

ikhona ingxaki apho. Kodwa la office kaPremier ndicinga ukuba iempowered 

iyakuthi xa isenza i-input ngexesha layo lokwenza i-input 

ayitatshe nalena imeko. Kodwa ndiya kuqinisekisa ukuthi ikhona ipolicy 

ngoku ebhayinda zonke ii-departments kulento ine-policies. 

Lento ke inezikolo ze-FUNZA LUTSHAKA yenye i-dimension 

yezikolo mhlawumbi ke ekungabalulekanga ukuba size ne-details yazo 

apha kodwa sona isiphakamiso esi sithi bancediseka njani aba bantwana 

sisinowuthile. 

UMojo - District Director temps. Lento ye-temporal teachers ngenxa 

yento yokuba mhlawumbi i-vacancy i-temporal okanye zi-permanent 

vacancies, ndicinga ukuba uMphathiswa uza kuyiphatha kakuhle leya. 

EYabantu High - ikwi-bad state ne-disaster schools. Ikhona iprogramme 

ye-department elandela lento ine-disaster schools. 

Andiqinisekanga ukuba indawoni ngoku ndicinga ukuba uMphathiswa 

uzakuyiphatha nayo. 

Masize ke kulento ine-District Office because all these problems zale 

district hinges kule District Office yalapha and it reflect state of affair 

kule District Office. Oko kuqala, ukukhona u-District Director kula 

District akukho vacancy ikhoyo phaya. Ndiphendula ke la mbuzo uthi xa 

u-apoyinta unga-apoyinti ujonga kwezinye indawo. Akukho vacancy 

phaya qha u-District Director yala District u-displaced ngenxa yeconflict 

nobuzaza bemeko akuyo i-Department yamthatha phaya okanye 

wemka yena phaya waya kuhlala e-Head Office. 

Kunzima ke ngoku ukuthetha ngoku-apoyinta okanye ufilishe enye ipost. 

Kodwa yona i-problem yakhona indala yaqala nge-1 st Affice. 

Kunzima ke ngoku ukuthetha ngoku-apoyinta okanye ufilishe enye ipost. 

Kodwa yona i-problem yakhona indala iqale nge-1 st kaEpreli 

2009. Yilonto sivene siyi-Portfolio Committee siye kabini phaya siye 

kuqwalasela lomcimbi. Ininzi into ethethwayo namabali phaya kulanto. 

Ne-Department ikwenzile ekwenzileyo ukuphanda lanto qha 

akuvunyelwana nge-methods zokusombulula la problem. Yilonto sithe 

siza kuphinda sibuye urgently sibize zonke i-stakeholders 

ezingaphakathi nezingaphandle, sikhe siwuxoxe lomcimbi siwusingathe 

as a matter of urgency. Kodwa mayingabikho ezingqondweni into 

yokokuba akukho District Director phaya. Ikhona i-District Director 

phaya, yeyaphaya qha i-displaced as we speak. Into ekufuneka 

isonjululwe ngoku yinto yokokuba ithini imeko ke ngoku xa kunjalo

ecause schools ngenxa yala conflict iphaya akukho stability and izikolo 

ziyasafarisha in terms of service delivery. 

Ndicinga ukuba ndizitatshile ii-questions ebezi-directed kule komiti. 

Ndicele uxolo kuba ezinye ii-questions zi-administrative zifuna 

impendulo ka-MEC ukwenzela ukuba ayitolike ngokwakhe lento 

ngosiba lakhe. Enkosi sihlalo. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Mphathiswa. Sesifunda ke apha kule nkqubo 

ukuba ikomiti mayikhethe le ikwazi ukuyiphendula imibuzo ukonga 

ixesha. 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR ROADS AND TRANSPORT: 

Mandibulele kuwe Somlomo waleNdlu Yowiso-Mthetho, uPremier naye 

wonke umntu ofanelwe yimbeko nabahlali. NdinguPenny Majodina 

ndinguMphathiswa wezendlela nemisebenzi yoluntu. Okwam 

…[Interjections.] ….zisani i-rouving mic ndiqhele i-rally mna 

…..[Interjections.] …. 

Ndiyabulela Somlomo, sele ndibulisile kuPremier, isigqeba amalungu 

ePalamente, uKumkani nabamnqongileyo kunye naye wonke umntu 

olapha ngaphakathi eNdlini. NdinguPenny Majodina, ndinguMathole 

ndinguGqagqani mna. Ndijongane nemisebenzi yoluntu kunye 

nezendlela. 

Ndiza kuphendula nje lambuzo ububuza into yokokuba onokontraka aba 

bachongwa njani, isiniki maxabiso sihamba njani. Isiniki maxabiso 

sihamba ngokwasemthethweni into yokokuba sikhutshwe aze lowo 

uwina i-tender okhe isikolo. Kodwa kunjalo lowo othe wanikwa 

inxaxheba yokwakha eso sikolo akanalungelo lokwakha umsebenzi 

okwimeko engancumisiyo. Ithi ke lonto abahlali, SGB, ne-Steering 

Committee kufuneka sincedisane noRulumente ekubeni uhlolwe 

lomsebenzi ngelixesha lomakhi ewenza. Kuba thina ethubeni silisebe 

sithumela i-inspector ze-building mhlawumbi zifike late ekungeyonto 

intle ke leyo. Kodwa nina ningabahlali ingakumbi i-SGB ibazindlebe, 

ibengumlomo kaRulumente igade iimali ezi zabarhafi zisetyenzisiweyo. 

Elinye iphulo esilenzayo yinto yokokuba imali ingakhutshwa yonke 

inikwe lowo ebesakha isikolo nokuba yeyiphina i-building. Kukho iretention 

fee ebanjwayo khonukuze xa singonelisekanga ngumsebenzi 

angayinikwa yonke imali de alungise izikhwasilima ezinokuthi 

zibonakale kwi-building leyo. Ndiyabulela. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATION: Hon Speaker, members 

naye wonke umntu olapha. Ndizakuwagawula ndiwarhuqa ngenxa 

yexesha. Kulo mcimbi we-scholar transport ndifuna ukuqale ndicacise 

into yokokuba imali ye-scholar transport ebi alokheyithelwe i-scholar

transport iwa ngeneno kune-demand ye-scholar transport ekhoyo kwi- 

Province yonke. 

Okwesibini, amanye amagqwithi-gqwithi ebesenzeka kwindlela 

ebekumaneyijwa ngayo lomcimbi we-roots phaya kwi-Districts yenye 

ye-problems ebangele ukuba sizibone sele sine-efficiencies ezininzi 

imali ingena emathandeni phaya. Kune-roots ebekungafanelanga ukuba 

za-apruvwa phaya ezi-apruviweyo. 

Okwesithathu, kusuka abantwana kwezinye izikolo bagqithe izikolo 

apha ecaleni komawabo baye kwizikolo ezikude. AbaseBhisho bafunda 

eZwelitsha, abaseZwelitsha bafunda eBhisho. Ichitheka ngolo hlobo ke 

imali ye-scholar transport. So sikulo process ke yokuklina yonke lanto, 

nokuklina lento ye-roots ukwenzela ukuba kuze kukhweliswa abantwana 

abafanele ukukhweliswa, kungakhweliswa abantwana abazithandeleyo 

ukuba baye kufunda kwezinye izikolo. So siphethe ke lomcimbi ngoku. 

Siza kuyijonga ke le micimbi yezi zikolo zalapha eSeymour kuthethwe 

ngazo apha oJennet Mahongo, noThobelani aba bahamba i-distance 

ezinde. I-distance efanele ukuba iyatravelishwa yi-5km not iqabele ku- 

5km. Bekufanele ukuba ke bane-access ke ngoku kwi-scholar transport 

abo bantwana bakoko kumila kunjalo. So ime ngolo hlobo ke ipolisi 

esebenzayo phaya. 

Kulo mcimbi kamama uNoxolo Didiza siza kuyizama intlanganiso 

phakathi kwala board nesikolo kulo mcimbi wokucacisa indlela 

esebenza ngayo, la-restoration of historic schools project. It is a 

National project engajonganga izikolo zalapha e-Eastern Cape qha. 

Apha e-Eastern Cape isajonge izikolo ezibini. Ijonge i-Healdtown ne-St 

Matthews okwa kaloku nje. Nezinye eziyi-4 ezithe saa kwezinye i- 

Provinces ikhokelwa ke nguBishop Ndungane. Iyafanreyiza ke ecaleni 

ukwenzela ukunceda ekuristorweni kweziya zikolo zibuyele kulanto 

zaziyiyo. 

So andifuni ke into yokokuba kubekhona iintanda phakathi kwala Board 

ne-SGB kuba ingazibambezele umnxilo we-development kwakwesiya 

sikolo. So siza kuzama ukunceda ke as a department ukuncedisa into 

yokokuba kuvalwe la gab kungabikho gab kubekhona intsebenziswano 

phakathi kweziya structures zibini. Sizakukhe siyijonge ke le 

yokungcola kwaphaya kodwa ke njengokuba ebesitsho usihlalo hayi le 

yokokuba amavolontiya angakhona bethuna yona singayithakazelela. 


Kule question yesithethi sesithathu. Ewe iyinyaniso yona la instability 

athetha ngayo engekhoyo phaya kwi-District. Abantu balapha ndicinga 

into yokokuba bayayazi into yokokuba nani as stakeholders zalapha 

aniboni ngeliso elinye ngendlela enokusonjululwe ngayo lanto. So 

niphinde ningasincedisi ke ngoku. 

Ndiyazifuna ke i-stakeholders zalapha zikhe zithethe ngelizwi elinye 

kwinto enokwenza ne-stability kule District Office. Because lanto

ichaphazela abantwana babantu abangathathi ntweni abangenazo ezinye 

izikolo abanokufunda kuzo ngaphandle kwezi zikolo zikweziya lali 

nakweziya townships. We are looking at this thing ye-District Director 

yokuba kude kubene-stability kulento yale-displacement. 

Sicinga ke ukuba i-processes zokulungisa yonke lento uyakubetha 

mhlawumbi u-mid Novemba okanye end Oktobha uzakubetha kunento 

ecacileyo. We are negotiating with the District Director. Kucacile mos 

uyakubhitya umntwana wabantu kukuphangela yena ngaphandle azele 

ukusayina angakwazi ukuhlala e-ofisini ngenxa ye-instability ephaya. 

Ayincedisi mntu, ayincedisi naye wayegqajuzelwe amavili apha, zange 

agqajuzelwe mavili ngapha eBhisho wayegqajuzelwe amavili apha. 

Akukho mntu ke unokuze aphangele into ebhadlileyo e-under imeko 

ekumila kunjalo. So we have negotiated with her ukuba simtshifte 

bhetele to Head Office izokuba vacant le post and then we advertise. 

Zezi processes ke ndithi uyakuphela u-Oktobha umcimbi wazo sele 

ugabadele. 

Ayithi ke lonto makuqhutyekekwe ne-anarchy apha ukwenzela i-Head 

Office ize kususa abantu. Kufuneka leyo into siyicacise ibe-clear kuba 

naleyo into kufuneka siyiphelisile. Nalento kumane kurhorhiswa ngento 

yokokuba kwasweleka umntu apha, simane sirhorhiswa ngokuba 

kwasweleka i-District Director ke apha, nisijonge kakuhle. 

[Interjections.] Kuza kufuneka nayo siyiphelise because ayisincedisi 

apha. I-priority yethu apha is to improve i-quality education yabantu 

bakuthi ingakumbi abantu abangathathi ntweni. So that is the approach 

that we are trying to estabilize le District Office. If asiyi-stabhilayizanga 

intloko ayizokuba stable yonke i-District. 

Apha asinayo i-District Education Forum. Zange siyi-lontshe i-Quality 

Learning and Teaching Campaign apha kanti zonke ezinye i-Districts 

sele zihlabele mgama. akuzange konyulwe zi-SGB’s apha zeli cala 

laseMiddledrift ngokuya kwakusonyulwa kodwa sele zide zonyulwa ke 

ngoku. So le District is legging behind all other Districts in a number of 

programmes. 

So esiya-stakeholders meeting ke siza kuncedisana mhlawumbi 

sisebenza ne-Portfolio Committee side sibe nayo ne-DEF apha because 

kulapho niza kuzixoxa khona ezinye ii-problems ezijongene needucation 

apha kwi-District. 

Kulo mcimbi we-maths and science educators ezizi-expatriates iproblem 

phaya zi-contracts zabo, zi-work permits. Sithe xa sitshekitsha 

kwi-system phaya ku-persal safumanisa ukuba abanye banikwa ileta 

zokuba babe-permanent kanti abafanelanga ukuba babe-permanent kuba 

basebenza nge-work permits ezine-timeframe, eziphelelwayo emva 

kwexesha elithile. So besilungisa ezo zinto ke. So kufuneka bebuyele 

back kwa-Home Affairs but we are trying to assist them to vasttrack the 

process with Home Affairs bafumane i-work permits zabo bakwazi

ukubuyela because asinazo iitishala ze-maths and science 

sikwaxhomekeke kwaba bantu basuka ngaphandle. 

Lomcimbi we-satellite offices is linked kulento ye-stability esi se- 

District. Ndicinga into yokokuba once we solved that ezinye izinto ziza 

kuzihambela kakuhle. Mos niyayazi zi-stakeholders izakusincedisa 

nala ntlanganiso ye-stakeholders. Because ezinye i-reports apha that we 

were getting is that abahloli bethu ne-subject advisors azikwazi nokuya 

ezikolweni ziphinde zingavunyelwa phaya ezikolweni ziye kwenza 

umsebenzi wazo. 

So yingxaki ke leyo because ngoku siphinde size kuyikhalazela lento 

ukuba ezi zinto azisebenzi kanti abantu baphinda bablokwe on the other 

hand xa besenza umsebenzi wabo wokuya kuncedisa eziya zikolo. So 

izakusincedisa ke lanto yesa-stakeholders forum sikwazi uku-adresa eziproblems 

decicievely sivane ukuba yeyiphina indlela esinokusa ngayo i- 

Education phambili. 

Kula mbuzo kamama uSelina. Ndicinga ukuba bendisele 

ndiwuphendulile lo we-distance ye-scholar transport ukuba yi-5km. 

Nalento ye-science educators nayo sizakukhe siyilandelele ukuba 

singayithini na phaya kweziya ndawo ebethetha ngazo apha. 

Kwi-school nutrition programme. Iyinyaniso into yokokuba zikhona 

wena i-service providers ezisilelayo. But we are working very closely 

with that forum yezi-service providers ze-school nutrition in the 

Province ngoba nabo bayasincedisa bayazazi futhi nezingaqhubi kakuhle 

basixelele. So we are working very closely with them so that nabo babe 

ne-responsibility yokudilishana nabantu babo abangafuni ukwenza lento 

ngohlobo olufanelekileyo. 

Sisebenza ke kwi-contract ke apha ebekufaneleke into yokokuba ngoku 

sele i-alokheyithwe ngokutsha. But la contract bekufanele ukuba yaalokheyithwa 

ngoMatshi, that was postponed to June. Ngokomthetho 

kaRulumente we-procurement awunakuze uhlale ixesha elide kangaka 

lamcimbi we-tender ungeka awadwa, so kufuneka uqalwe ekuqaleni, so 

siyazi-extend(a) ezi contracts okwakaloku nje. 

But into esifuna ukuyenza we want into yokokuba i-communities zethu 

zikhe zibene-contribution kulento ye-school nutrition. Sifuna 

ukutshifutela lento ye-school nutrition kwi-communities lendlela sasithe 

i-policy siza kuyitshintsha ngayo ngo-2006 nango-2007 but asade 

siyilandela ncakasane lonto. 

So we are working with the Department of Agriculture and Rural 

Development, we are working with Fort Hare, kulento kuthiwa yi- 

Nelson Mandela Foundation, we are working with Economic Affairs 

Depatortment. Ukuza ne-programme esizakuthi sise ngayo lento 

ebantwini but we are going to pilot it apha e-Fort Beaufort District 

naseIdutywa kwezi ndawo zinezizinto kuthiwa zi-agri-parks.

Abantu bakuthi basaplaye balime, basaplaye i-agri-park basebenzisane 

ne-agri-park so that abantu bakuthi babhenefithe nabo kula R703m 

ephaya kwi-school nutrition programme. Okwesibini siqinisekise ukuba 

la R703m isininzi sala mali siya kwaba bantwana besithe sifuna 

babhenefithe from the school nutrition programme. But if ungayijonga 

ngoku ukuba imali ebheka emntwaneni ekugqibeleni iba yimalini. 

Ungayifumanisa ukuba mhlawumbi ingaba ngu 50% of that R703m 

esiyibhajethelweyo. 

So we piloting the two areas mhlawumbi ukusukela ngoJanuwari 

ukubheka phambili with a view yokokuba sisebenzisise lo approach 

ukubheka phaya. Lento ye-school nutrition programme ingabiyonto 

entanta esithubeni kodwa ibe kufutshane ebantwini ibengabantu 

ngokwabo. So we want to pilot lo project apha naseDutywa. 

Kulo mcimbi we-termination of salaries bekungakuhle ukuba 

singafumana nje amagama abo bantu ukwenzela ukuba size kuyilandela 

ncakasana sinamagama siyekurizolva lo-problem directly. But siza 

kukhe siyijonge kuba unobangela nam andiwazi. But if singafumana 

amagama abo bantu. Zikhona i-officials ze-departments apha 

ukwenzela ukuba size kukwazi ukuqalisa sizihoye kamsinyane 

mhlawumbi singekemki nalapha eNkonkobe phambi koLwesine. 

Kulo mcimbi we-infrastructure sisene-challenge ke apho 

engumangaliso. Imali esiyinikwayo yi-R1.3 billion kulona unyaka-mali. 

I-assessment ebiyenziwe yi-office kaPremier ithi i-backlog yase-Eastern 

Cape kwa-Education qha yi-R28 billion. Ithi ke ukuba siqhuba sinikwa 

lo R1.3 billion ngonyaka sakuthatha i-20 years yonke ukuze siyikline ibacklog 

apha e-Eastern Cape. Nakhona iyakwenzeka lonto xa 

kunganyuki maxabiso, kungekho nto itshintshayo. Kodwa ukuba 

amaxabiso ayenyuka sakuthatha into e-more than 20 years ukuklina ibacklog 

ngoko hlobo esinikwa ngalo imali. 

Ukwakhiwa kwe-offices, ukwakhiwa kwezikolo ezitsha, i-disaster, 

renovation ne-maintenance, mud structures, ukurimuvwa kwe pre-febs 

ezindala zikwakula mali inye. So we are negotiating ke with Treasury, 

sasicinge into yokokuba ngoMeyi iyakube sele igqityiwe yonke le 

discussion but ifuna ukuba buntsintsithekarha because le problem ayiyo 

problem yethu sodwa apha kwi-Province yethu yase-Eastern Cape 

nezinye ii-Province nazo zenza the same demand eyenza u-Treasury 

ngoku afune ukuhamba kancinci kulento ebesithembise ngayo. But inegotiations 

sele zikwi-advanced stages. Kuthiwa ezi zinto azifuni 

kuthethelwa moyeni hleze zimkisele. Abantu basezilalini aba bekhe 

bangamazingela bolusa bayayazi lento. 

But umcimbi sele ukwi-advance stages between i-department yethu, 

Treasury no-National Treasury. Silinde nje i-decision ye-budgeting 

counsel that is i-MINMAC yakwa-Finance kulo mcimbi wokusincedisa 

kulento ye-mud structures. Sicinga ke into yokokuba iyakusikhulula

lonto ukuba sikhe safumana an extra grant to address lento ye-backlog. 

Sakutsho sikwazi ukumuva ngokukhawuleza ukuya ku-adresa eziyadisasters, 

neza-mud structures nezinye ii-challenges ezi benisele nithethe 

ngazo. 

Kulo mcimbi wase-Fort Hare ndicela eziya-student zase-Fort Hare 

ukuba zingakhe zisinike amagama aba bantu bangekabhatalwa iimali 

zabo kulento kaFunza Lutshaka sikwazi uku-adresa lonto 

ngokukhawuleza okudibene nokungxama siyi-Department yakwa- 

Education. Ukuba bangasinika amagama aba bantu bafundiswa ngu- 

Social Development for instance abenza i-Social Worker sikwazi lo-list 

siyidibanise ne-officials zakwa-Social Development zikwazi uku-adresa 

lo problem ngokukhawuleza. Ndicinga into yokokuba lonto ayinto 

inzima ukuba nje singafumana amagama nezo list ezo zinto mhlawumbi 

angabetha uLwesine sele sikwazi ukuthetha into ephilileyo kwangoku 

siselapha. 

Kwi-temporary educators. We have reconsidered our decision. 

Njengokuba bekukhe kwakho into engathi i-contracts zabo zingaphela 

ngoNovemba. I-contracts zabo zifanele ukuba zithetha lanto ibhalwe 

kulanto babe-apoyintwa ngayo yento yokuba i-contract yakho 

izakumane i-extend(wa) on a three months basis. But kwesi isihlandlo 

ise yaqhawulwa kwangoko. 

Iyinyaniso yona into yokokuba kumcimbi wemali sisekutshixezeni 

kwamazinyo in the department. Sine-challenges ezi-serious njengokuba 

bendisele nditshilo kulanto ye-infrustrature. Nakwi-compensation of 

employees sisekutshixizeni kwamazinyo imali ishota ngelona hlobo 

olungathethekiyo. Sijongile nje singa overspend(a) ukuba asinakubamba 

zi-breaks nokuba sivale i-tap namanxeba imali engana kuwo 

engafanelanga kungena kuwo. 

So ngenxa yezo zizathu ke kuye kwakhona le decision yokuthi 

masithemineyithe kwangoko but we have reconsidered that decision. 

Eza temporal educators ziya-extend(wa) i-contracts yazo up until the 

end of December. Izakukhonsidarishwa ke ngoku ngokwe-case by case, 

ngokwezo-demands zikhoyo ezikolweni i-renewal ngoJanuwari ngolu 

hlobo besikade siyenza ngalo. Isingathi Somlomo ndizikhathule 

ezininzi. 

Mr SPEAKER: Masibulele Mphathiswa. UMphathiswa wezeNtlalo- 

Ntle, andazi nokuba uSocial Development yilonto. Enkosi. 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: Enkosi

kuKumkani, ndibulise kubahlali bonke ne-colleagues zam. Ndithi 

kumbuzo kaMayihlome ukongeza kulentetho ibigqitywa ukuthethwa 

nguMphathiswa wezeMfundo.

Mandiyicacise into yokokuba kule nyanga iphelileyo kaSeptemba 

isigqeba se-SRC yaseUniversity of Fort Hare besiye sahlala ne- 

Department sichophele umcimbi we-bursary. Apho ke baye bacacisa 

into yokokuba imali efumanekayo ye-bursary eyi-R42 000 iyashota 

ayiye izifezekise zonke iimfanelo zabo, bacela ke ukuba inyuswe isiwe 

kuR64 000. 

Xa sihleli phantsi sifumanisa into yokokuba unobangela wabanye 

abangakhange babe bazibhatele i-fees sifumanise into yokokuba i- 

University ibingekakleyimi kwi-Department for abo bantu. 

Esinethemba ke into yokokuba njengokuba ebesele etshilo uMphathiswa 

wezemfundo ukuba kuthe kanti kukho ezo mali zingangale mali uSocial 

Development ayikhuphayo mabayingenise lo list ngokukhawulezileyo. 

Phofu ingazokunqanda iintlanganiso zabo eziqhubayo kuba besithe 

masiqhube ngeza ntlanganiso bemane besibrifa nge-information. 

Okunye esikunqwenelayo kokokuba njengokuba sisabhumithile kwi- 

Department Nationally lomcimbi wokushota kwale mali siyayazi into 

yokokuba kuphakathi-naphakathi nonyaka-mali kuza kufuneka kubekho 

uhlenga-hlengiso olwenziwayo ukwenzela into yokokuba kukwazi ke 

ukubonelelwa lento isisicelo sabafundi. Kunjalo nje nasePhondweni 

sifuna ukuqula siligangathe silungiselela into yokokuba izinto 

ziyenyuka nyaka nonyaka. Sizithathile zonke iingcebiso zabo. 

Kodwa saphawula into yokokuba banazo i-go students nabo ezikhoyo 

phaya phakathi kwabo. Sathi ke kuba singaphandle thina bona baphaya 

ngaphakathi i-SRC and zinkokheli mabasiphandele, basincedise ngalo 

mcimbi nathi sizakuphanda. Ukwenzela sikhangele into yokokuba 

besingazokuba natshintshi na kakade even nakulo nyaka-mali uphelileyo 

kwaye ke if ikhona ikwazi ukuba isingathe lomcimbi sinengxaki yawo. 

Zintlanganiso ke eziqhubayo oko ezi ezizakuqhuba nangoku kude kube 

lomcimbi siyawusungula uba ngendlela efanelekileyo. Enkosi Mr 

Speaker. 

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Ngoku sizakungena ke kumjikelo wesibini. 

Sifundile ke kulo siphuma kuwo sizakucela ke macala onke lihlonitshwe 

ixesha ngoku. And siza kuthoba kwelo cala lenu kwela nani besilinga 

nje kuba imfundo siyibeke phambili, lizakwehla ngoku inani. 

Abaninzi abangabuzanga bangayibhala imibuzo bayigqithisele phambili 

bakhona abantu balonto apha. Siza kucela ke uNobhala weNdlu afunde 

umjikelo wesibini.

sifumanise into yokokuba, kwizihlomelo zomthetho into ebangele ukuba 

siye sariphilwa khange sibe siyasetyenziswa, ngoba esi sisetyenziswayo 

ngoku si-outdated. Sathi ke i-Department sicela ihloniphe ukwenzela 

into yokokuba ezi-applicable prescripts zisebenze in carrying out out its 

mandate. 

And it must also refrain from substituting Acts of Parliament with

1. The marginal increase in the Departments budget resulted in no 

health institutions receiving the funds they requested. 

2. The question of unfunded posts is a prominent feature at all 

health instition, this is due to a lack of pro-activeness on the part 

of these institutions to fill vacant posts. 

3. Most health institutions do not have adequate medical equipment 

especially X-rays machines. 

4. The security tender expired in June 2010 and the Department 

resorted to utilizing the services of security companies on a 

month to month contract until the finalization of the provincial 

security tender. Health institution are no safe environment to 

work in as an insufficient number and inadequate security 

officials have been deployed in these institutions making it very 

5. Some of the health institutions are not properly electrified, and 

this creates opportunities for criminal activity. 

6. While health institutions are under Programme 2 and 

Programme 4 their maintenance budgets are under Programme 8. 

This is a challenge for health institutions as programmes relevant 

to them may not always be a priority of Programme 8 and 

therefore this may have a negative impact on the allocation of 

funds in the said programme. 

7. The Department’s Human Resource Unit failed to effectively 

deal with the following matters and this resulted in 

backlogs/accruals OSD, HROPT and other benefits. 

8. The attraction and retention strategy is not effective. As a result 

most health institutions are still understaffed, especially in 

critical areas that is doctors,, pharmacists, dieticians, 

occupational therapists, psychiatrists and general assistants. 

9. There is a clear lack of regular interaction between the Head 

Office, District and local health institutions. 

10. Most health institutions do not have a backup generators whereas 

the Department reported in earlier meetings that they have 

procured 50 generators.

11. The absence of BAS systems leads to delay in the procurement 

and payment of goods and services. The non-availability of 

PERSAL in some institutions is a great concern. 

12. The rate at which medical equipment is deteriorating makes it 

difficult for both staff and students to execute their duties. 

13. No infection control measures are employed in health institutions 

- that was related to transport that would transport dirty linen 

without being cleaned. 

14. The shortage of vehicle in healt institution is a great concern. 

General recommendations 

1. The Department must take a strong motivation to the Provincial 

Treasury for additional funding. 

2. The Department must reactivate all unfunded posts with special 

priority to critical posts. 

3. The Department must ensure that all health institutions have 

adequate medical equipment and must maintain them on a 

regular basis 

4. The Department must finalize the security tender as a matter 

urgency and must report to the Committee on progress within 30 

days. 

5. The Department must approach the relevant institution that is 

ESKOM or Municipality to effectively deal with the 

electrification challenge in health institutions. 

6. The Department must realign its budget for maintenance to the 

relevant programmes and ensure that this anomaly is addressed. 

7. The Department must take appropriate steps to improve its 

human resource unit to respond to these challenges. 

8. The Department must review the strategy and improve on the 

incentives in order to attrack health professionals to rural areas. 

9. The Department must develop a programme to improve the 

interaction with subordinate structures and to support these 

structures. 

10. The Department must investigate the whereabouts of generators 

and report to the Committee within 30 days the adoption of the 

report. 

11. The Department must ensure that the BAS and PERSAL 

systems are speedily implemented and furnish the Committee 

with a report upon completion. 

12. The Department must ensure that the maintenance of all medical 

equipment at all health institutions.

must report to the Committee within 30 days on how it intends 

doing this. 

14. The Department must devise a strategy to ensure the availability 

of vehicles in the health institutions.

In conclusion hon Speaker the Committee would like to thank all 

members, departmental officials and stakeholders who assisted us in

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi Ntlanganiso, Chairperson. Nantsi ke into 

ezakulandela ngoku sizakuthatha nje imibuzo, mithathu ngapha, 

mithathu ngapha sakugqiba siye kwi-lunch. Sakuyiphendula xa sibuya. 

Ndiza kucela lowa unesandla esi-blue ungunamba 1, ndithathe umama 

apha ngaphambili ungunamba 2, kwesiya sigxum-gxum wena umana 

uphakamisa isandla ungunamba 3. Thobani ke ngapha asizokuphinda 

sithathe mntu. Ndithathe ngapha – wena mama ungaphambili 

ungunamba 1, ubengunamba 2 wena usekugqibeleni ngasemva, 

ubengunamba 3 emva komama onegqiya e-orange. Masiqale namba 1.

Mr D MAKHALIMA: Igama ndinguDalindyebo i-surname …. 


Mr SPEAKER: Noko ungakhwaza usemtsha mhlekazi. 

Mr D MAKHALIMA: Oh! Igama ndinguDalindyebo ifani 

nguMakhalima. Mhlekazi I must say ndingxwelerhekile because I 

thought the Department of Housing will be here but it is okay andimbo 

apha kwi-programme. Apho ndiya khona ndiya to the issue of 

University of Fort Hare were it is black dominated, that is of course. 

Apha kukhona i-ambulance yaseFort Hare which is working and as such 

isebenza kanzima. But i-problem is that ngaphakathi ayinayo i-first aid 

facility. And abantu abayiqhubayo bona bengabaseFort Hare they are 

not equipped in terms of first aid. So I thought i-department especially 

lo Rulumente ukhokelwa ngabantu abamnyama will now think of Fort 

Hare as black dominated University akhe naye abe nento 

ekuzakudibheyithwa ngayo into yokokuba unike iFort Hare i-ambulance 

entsha njengokuba owangapha uRulumente esenza ii-toilet 

ezingavalekiyo. Enkosi. 

Ms N MALI: Mandizibulisele ke nam nguNontsikelelo Mali lo 

uthethayo ngowalapha kwaNtsela uhlala apha ngakwesi sibhedlele siyi- 

Victoria. Ngeli xesha bendicinga ukuba izakubakhona into ekhe 

ithethwe ngesi sibhedlele sidibanisa abantu abaphilileyo kunye nabantu 

abagula ngengqondo. Because sinabantu phaya abathe bayakufakwa 

phaya kanti sikhona isibhedlele eBhofolo sabantu abangenangqondo. 

Ngoku aba bagula ngengqondo babulala aba bagulayo. Sinezidumbu 

ezinjalo ke phaya. Yilento ke ndifuna ukubuza i-department iyayiqonda 

na lanto iphaya e-Victoria? 

Ngaphezu koko phaya sakhiwe esiya sibhedlele sasikhulu kukho 

neendawo ezithi zeze X-ray kodwa uthi wakufika phaya kuthiwe abekho 

omatshini be X-ray kufuneke uthathe lomntu wakho umkhwelise 

emotweni umse eBhofolo kwi X-ray. Wena ungumguli, kodwa nasi

isibhedlele sitsha asinazo izixhobo. Sibuza ke ngoku ku-MEC wethu 

ukuba siza kuthini na kwesi sibhedlele. 

Oko kugqibela, ndithetha ke ngoku ngemeko le sikuyo apha phakathi 

endlini. Nisibizile ukuba masize apha kodwa akuzolwanga ngaba bantu 

bebesibizile. Banyuka besihla omnye ahambe aye kuncokola nomnye 

….[Interjections.] ….[Applause.] Ithini lonto? 

Okwesithathu, benikiwe ixesha lokokuba nilungiselele ukuza edolophini 

enabantu abathetha isiXhosa yenzeka njani into yokokuba la ripoti – 

nanga ndinamaxhego phaya avela kwezi lali afuna ukuva ukuba 

bekusithiwani na kodwa kuthethwa isiNgesi. Eza Portfolio Committee 

kutheni zingayilungisi ngesiXhosa before beze apha eDikeni ukuze 

wonke umntu azokuba comfortable. [Interjections.] [Applause.] Uze 

uthi ke wena xa ubiziwe phaya phandle kusithiwa nika lanto yakho 

ubuyibhalile use uyikhumshe ke phaya phandle. Sicela lonto torhwana. 

Enkosi. [Applause.] 

Ms N PAYI: Mandibulise kuwe Somlomo, ndibulise lonke igqiza 

elilapha. Mna ndinguNandipha Payi phaya eHealdtown u-Ward 

Committee wakhona. Somlomo it is very embarrassing into eyenzekayo 

apha because size apha nje si-concerned zizinto ezisibandakanyayo thina 

singabahlali. But ngoku sifumanisa ingathi asirekhognayizwa because 

uyamambhulisha lasisi phaya asimvanga thina and kukho izinto 

ezibangela ukuba sibelapha esifuna ukuziva of which asikwazi ukuziva 

ngoku. 

Mandiye ke kule mibuzo yam. Oko kuqala mandithi Somlomo 

ndibhidiwe yindlela ye-Provincial because besi-aware nge-visit 

yaseTower neyase-SANTA but i-Provincial ibiselishweni because 

asikhange siyive thina singabahlali i-visit ye-Provincial. And siyayinida 

ukuyazi into yase-Provincial singahlali because i-Provincial sisibhedlele 

esithwala 34 villages of Fort Beaufort. Siphinde sithwale 40 villages 

from Alice, udibanise iDebe neSeymour zonke zixhomekeke kwesiya 

sibhedlele. But ingathi sisesona sibhedlele singakhathalelekanga. Nento 

yokubangaba bekuthiwe kuza kurenoveyithwa akukhonto yenzekayo 

phaya e-Provincial Hospital. 

Ndibuye ndize kumcimbi we-community health workers. Ingase zikhe 

ziqeshwe bethuna basebenza kabuhlungu aba bantu abaya. Sifuna ke 

nibe nalomphako ke xa nisuka apha. Siye kumcimbi Somlomo we- 

ARV’s ngase zisondele ezikliniki people are dying abanamali 

zokubheka ezidolophini baye kuthatha i-ARV’s at least ngase zibekele 

kwiqondo apho abantu bakwaziyo ukufikelela kuzo. Enkosi Somlomo. 

Ms N TETE: Ndiyabulela nam ke mhlali ngaphambili. Mna ke 

ndinguNokulunga Tete we-Ward 14 eWashington Clinic ndiyikomiti ke 

yaphaya.

Ndiyabulela kuba ikliniki yethu irayiti, intle into esiyidingayo 

ngamayeza ayaphela. Sicela i-mobile clinic for abantu kuba bahlala 

kude. Sicela ugqirha nokuba uthathe iintsuku kuba kaloku sihlala 

nabantu abakhulu ezilalini i-transport inqabile. Sicela ukuba i-ARVs 

zisondezwe ezikliniki kuba ke i-pap smear siyazenza phaya kula kliniki 

yethu. Yona irayiti ikliniki yethu qha sicela ukwengezelwa ezi zinto. 

Enkosi. 

Mr C SOGIBA: Igama lam ndinguCuma Sogiba from Ward 8 

kwaNonjola. Hon Speaker, Executive Committee, Counsellors. 

Ndinombuzo othi izibhedlele zikwazi njani na ukuba maziphelelwe 

ngumbane izizo ezonga abantu abagulayo? 

Okwesibini, ukubangaba zithi zisebenzisa i-generator i-generator yinto 

evela icime. For example kwiminyaka egqithileyo sabona abantwana 

bebhubhile esibhedlele eMonti kuba kusithiwa hayi kwaphela umbane. 

Andiqondi ukuba ke lonto ingayinto emnandi ukuthi sive sele kusithiwa 

abantwana bethu baswelekile ngenxa yokokuba kuphele umbane 

esibhedlele. 

Okwesithathu Somlomo yenzeka njani lento yokuba i-mobile xa sigula 

sisiya phaya ezikliniki ezilalini zethu ndineswekile kuthiwa umtshini 

wokuthestwa iswekile awukho. Ndiphinde ndiye esibhedlele kuthiwa 

awukho nasesibhedlele. Siyacela ingathi izinto ezinjalo ngase zijongwe. 

Thank you Speaker. 

Mr SPEAKER: Niyazifakelela ke ngoku, ndothuka sele kukho ongapha. 

Ungowukugqibela apho, ngena. 

Mr M NCUME: Enkosi mhlali ngaphambili. NdinguMalixole Ncume 

ndihlala ngapha kwaNontongwana. Mhlali ngaphambili ndicela 

ukubuza apha kubahlonipheki bethu abakhoyo apha kuleNdlu yoWiso- 

Mthetho into yokokuba abantu basezilalini abaguli na nge-weekend 

nasemveni ko-16h00 phakathi evekini lento ikliniki zivalayo ngo-16h00 

nge-weekend zingavulwa iikliniki. 

Okwesibini, phaya kula ndawo ndihlala kuyo mhlali ngaphambili abantu 

bariferishwa eBhofolo esibhedlele uthi wakunganyangeki phaya 

uriferishwe eCecilia Makiwane udisitshajwe phaya kuthiwa buya 

uphinde uze kutshekishwa. Xa uphinda kuthiwe ziyele kungabikho 

ndlela yokuqinisekisa into yokokuba wena mntu usisigulane uya njani. 

Ithethe ukuthi uRulumente ubesenoxanduva lokuqinisekisa ukuba ude 

uphile. 

Eyokugqibela, lengxaki yokungabikho koonesi aboneleyo oogqirha bona 

ababikho kwaphela ke bona ezikliniki ezilalini ekubeni ikliniki izezona 

ndawo zikufutshane ebantwini, abantu abakwazi ukuya kufikelela kuzo 

ngenyawo abaninzi. Kodwa kulo ndawo ikufutshane injalo kubelapho 

iinkonzo zikaRulumente zinqongophala khona. Enkosi.

Mr SPEAKER: Enkosi. Okuzakwenzeka ke aba baphakamisayo ngoku 

banawo amaphepha mababhale le mibuzo bebezakuyibuza ithunyelwe 

ngoba njengokuba benditshilo sizakuphendula xa sibuya. Kuyacelwa ke 

kuba siza kuphuma ngoku siye kwi-lunch bonke ke abantu 

bazakugayidwa ….andazi nokuba nifuna ukuyenza isaziso ukuba 

kwenziwa njani, ukuba baphuma apha bayephi. 

Kodwa ke kuthiwa xa niphuma nizishiye ezi zinto zokumamela apha 

phezu kwezitulo. Ndicela ke Nobhala ukuba kukho isaziso 

…..[Interjections.] …Yimani kaloku akukagqitywa kuphunywa 

ngendlela ethile apha. 

The SECRETARY: Masimamelaneni. Sicela apho kwelo cala 

njengokuba besisele sitshilo kwasekuqaleni okokuba thina sonke 

kwelicala lingaphambi kwam siya phaya kula ntente inkulu ikweliya 

bala lokudlala i-rugby kulapho siza kufumana khona isixhaso thina. 

Kanti eli cala lamalungu ePalamente kwakunye neendwendwe 

ezichongiweyo zolusuku kufuneka ziye kule intente isekunxele kwam 

kulapho isixhaso nizakusifumana khona. 

[Business interrupted for lunch and resumed.] 

Mr SPEAKER: We can be seated. Siza kuqalisa ke ukuphendula 

imibuzo. Besivene ke ukuba amalungu ekomiti makaqale. Sicela ke into 

yokokuba lihlonitshwe ixesha sisemva kakhulu kwi-programme. Ikomiti 

mayiqalise ukuphendula. [Interjections.] Hayi ke Mphathiswa 

ungangena. Sicela i-rouving microphone. 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR HEALTH: Enkosi kakhulu Somlomo. 

Amalungu ePalamente, iNkulumbuso, iindwalutho zonke 

ezimenyiweyo. Mandikhawuleze ukuphendula le mibuzo kambe ke 

ngenxa yexesha ize imifutshane imibuzo le. Iimpendulo kambe 

ebezifuneka bekufuneka ndandile kakhulu ukwenzela ukuba umntu 

ongombuzo wakhe onele ngempendulo. 

Kodwa ke ndizakuzama ukuqala phaya kwisithethi sokuqala ubhuti lowa 

wakwanokholeyiji uDalindyebo. Ubhuti ubesithi banayo i-ambulance 

phaya eUniversity kodwa ayinazo izixhobo ezithile eziyimfuneko. 

Ndiye ndathatha ukubangaba wenza ikhwelo apha, isicelo ukubangaba 

akungebinangqwalasela na yenziwayo kokwakushokoxeka akuchazayo 

phaya ngaphakathi esikolweni. Ndiyithathile lonto kambe 

bendizakucebisa nakuye ukubangaba ngenxa yokokuba sithetha 

ngamaziko olawulo lwawo awohlukileyo. I-University leya nayo 

ukubangaba ibinalo mcamango umnye ungathatyathwa uziswe ke 

esebeni siwukhangele. Kodwa eyona ngxaki yeyokokuba phaya 

ngaphakathi bekunga kungakho inqwelo enazo zonke ezi zinto. 

Ndisivile ke isicelo esiya.

Umama olandeleyo umama uMali, ukuba ndive kakuhle. Ubeka umba 

walapha eVictoria Hospital nokhe wafikelela ezindlebeni zam ndade 

ndaya kufika phaya esibhedlele. Umba apha owakha wenzeka ombi 

kakhulu ukubangaba omnye umntu ongumguli ophazamisekileyo apha 

entloko okanye engqondweni wathi kwakho isehlo sokuba kuhlaselwe 

omnye umntu ongumguli wasweleka. 

Into eyenzekileyo phaya nento umthetho oyivumelayo kukuba 

izibhedlele ezikumgangatho othile zibe nalo ilungelo lokuba abaguli 

abaphazamisekileyo ngokwasengqondweni bakhe baqwalaselwe 

okungenani nokuba ziyure ezingamashumi asixhenxe anesibini. Kodwa 

beqwalaselwa bekwindawo ekhuselekileyo kwezinye iziguli. 

Nyani ke xa sasisenza uhlolo phaya esibhedlele noko the security 

provisions kungenjalo ukhuseleko ke kwe-wards ezi umntu okwiobservation 

amele ukuba kuyo noko beluhexa kakhulu kuba isibhedlele 

esi besingakhange sabane-facility elungele lonto. 

Sithe ke kufuneka sithathe amanyathelo okokuba iqine lonto ukwenzela 

ukuba xa ephaya umntu ophazamisekileyo ngokwasengqondweni 

ngokwe-observation ye-72 hours angakwazi ukuba angayingozi 

kwabanye abantu. 

Umba wesibini ngumba we X-rays machines, ukusoloko zaphukile 

kungenjalo zingekho. Mandiyithethe phandle ukubangaba ngumba lo 

phantse kwizibhedlele ezininzi apha kule ngingqi okhathazayo kakhulu, 

nesiwuthathele amanyathelo ngokuba oko kuqala makulungiswe ezi 

kufanele zilungiswe. Ngeli xesha zingekalungi amancedo asondezwe 

kufutshane, njengokuba sikhe sibe nayo i-mobile X-ray ngelinye ixesha 

zisondele kufutshane ukwenzela ukuba abantu bangaxhamleki ukuya 

kude ukufumana amancedo ngokwe X-ray. 

Apha eFort Beaufort e-Provincial umba onento yokwenza ne-radio 

graphers ukusoloko zikhona ngalo lonke ixesha. Nalapho sithe 

masithathe amanyathelo okuqinisekisa into yokokuba kuyomelezwa 

phaya ukwenzela ukuba kungabikho kunqongophala kwabasebenzi 

bokunceda xa kufuneka kunjalo. 

Usisi uNandipha ubebeka umba wesibhedlele sase-Provincial 

ukubangaba akevanga kuthethwa nto ngaso yaye sikwimo apha 

engamkelekanga. Kuba ke isisibhedlele esidala nesifanele ukubangaba 

sifumane ukuhlaziywa, i-renovation ukutsho oko. 

Umngeni wona sinawo mkhulu ngokokuba amaqhosha ekufuneka 

siwasebenzisele ukuphucula nokwenza ntsha amaziko ethu siwalungise. 

Isibonelelo esinaso ukuze sikwazi ukumelana nomsebenzi ekufuneka 

siwenzile kufuneka sikhangele ngaphaya kwe-budget le sibanayo 

unyaka nonyaka.

Njengokuba ebekhe watsho uMphathiswa wezemfundo sele icacile into 

yokuba ukubangaba sijonge nje kuphela ngohlahlo-lwabiwo mali 

lonyaka nonyaka sakuthi sikwazi ukusabela zonke izinto ezingumngeni 

ngokwe-infrastructure kula masebe naphaya kwisebe lezempilo 

kufuneka sixoze mphini wumbi. Yinto ke leyo esele siyithathele 

amanyathelo malunga nezinto ezininzi ekufuneka sifumane ukuncedisa 

nge-resources ezivela ngaphandle kwebhajethi le siqhuba ngayo unyaka 

nonyaka. 

Umba olandelayo awubekileyo ngumba we-ARVs ukubangaba noko 

abantu mabazifumane apha kula maziko akufutshane i-ARVs. 

Ndiyafuna ukuba ndithi ngaphambili nangaphambi kokuba kubekho 

lamyalelo kungenjalo lamkhomba-ndlela uMongameli welizwe 

awunikileyo nge-1 Disemba 2009. Besikade silandela inkqubo apho 

kufuneka amaziko anikeza ezi-ARVs kufuneka afumane i-accreditation. 

Yonke lonto ngoku sele siyibeke ecaleni into ekufuneka yenziwe 

luqeqesho kumagosa la, onesi aba sinabo baqeqeshwe ukuba bakwazi 

ukuthi administer the various treatment regimes ze-ARVs. 

Now siphethe ke ngoku umsebenzi woqeqesho lonesi ukuze bakwazi 

ukusingatha lomsebenzi. Isantya esihamba ngaso noko singabhetele 

kuba iinjongo zezokuba onke amaziko ezempilo, all the primary health 

care facilities zikwazi ukubangaba zithi render these services. Kodwa 

kufuneka zirendarishwe ngabantu abakulungeleyo oko ngokokuba 

bakuqeqeshelwe ukwenza lonto. Siphethe ke lo programme. 

Umba aphinde wawuphakamisa ngumba we-community health workers 

ukuqashwa kwazo. Siyavumelana naye ukubangaba, ewe ziqashiwe 

eziqashiweyo kodwa zimbalwa. Besinokwenza bhetele ukubangaba 

besinazo iintsiba zokuba sibandise abantu esibaqeshayo njengecommunity 

health workers. Ingakumbi kwiphulo esikulo lokuqinisa the 

primary health care approach to health care delivery. Yinto 

esiyisingathileyo leyo sithetha into enye kufuneka siyenze kambe 

ngokwempiko esinazo njengesebe. 

Usisi uNokulunga waphaya eWashington clinic. Naye ebechaphazela 

izinto eziphantse ukufana nale kodwa ke encoma yena. Indawo 

ebeyithetha kambe kukuba ingase kusoloko amayeza ekho ngalo lonke 

ixesha kwi-clinics engapheli. 

Ukubangaba ibingekukuba singxamile bendakukhe ndithethe ndinabe ke 

ngamayeza ingakumbi amanye amayeza esimane sihlangana nawo 

siwafumane cheap phofu engekho kule ndawo afanele ukuba akuyo. 

Kufuneka siqinise kakhulu indlela yokuza kwamayeza angapheleli 

esithubeni. Akhona aphelela esithubeni angayokufika ezikliniki 

amayeza. Nalapho kufuneka sinqande ke ubuqhophololo obenzekayo 

phaya. 

Ndivumelana naye ukubangaba masilwisane nalonto, yinjongo yesebe, 

yinjongo kaRulumente ukuba amayeza ngalo lonke ixesha afumaneke.

Kuse kuthi ke ukungafumaneki kweyeza ibe liyeza elithile kuba 

mhlawumbi njengokuba kukhe kwenzeke kuthi kanti alikho emva the 

suppliers mhlawumbi siye asa-odola eloyeza labe liphelile mhlawumbi 

the suppliers ingxaki ilapho. Nalapho ke apho kuye kuthiwe what is the 

alternative drug enokuthi isetyenziswe ukwenzela ukuba kusoloko 

kukho uncedo abantu abalufumanayo ngokwamayeza. 

Umba olandelayo ngowogqirha ukuba oogqirha bekunga bangasondela 

babekhona naphaya kwikliniki. Siyavumelana nalonto mhlawumbi ifuna 

ukuba apha kule ngingqi yaseAmathole sisiqinisa isantya sokwenzeka 

kwalonto kuba iyenzeka kwezinye i-districts. Kuba ogqirha banenkqubo 

ezi-scheduled zokujikeleza iikliniki. Ugqirha abelwe inani lekliniki 

azityelelayo okungenani kanye ngeveki kungenjalo ngeveki ezimbini 

kuxhomekeke kogqirha esikwazi ukubanabo kulo ndawo. Iyenzeka lonto 

kwezinye ii-Districts. 

Ubhuti lowa wakwa-Ward 8 kwaNondyola ube esithi yena ingenzeka 

njani into yokokuba kungabikho umbane esibhedlele. Masivumelane 

naye kuqala ukubanga akumele ukuba sikhe sibenexesha esibhedlele 

apho sikhe silahlekwe zinkonzo zombane. Kodwa ikhe yenzeke lonto 

ngezizathu ezahlukileyo ezininzi. Kodwa ke xa ithe yenzeka iziko 

lempilo naliphina limele libe namancedo akufutshane ukwenzela into 

yokokuba kubekho immediate substitute arrangement kungenjalo 

alternatives in that ukubangaba kumke umbane ngoku kumele ukuba 

kubekho a standby generator ukwenzela ukuba kusoloko kukho umbane 

ngalo lonke ixesha. Ukubangaba zonke ezo zinto azenzeki ingathetha 

ukuthi kukho ukusilela kakhulu kwinkqubo ezimele ukuba ngelo xesha 

ziyalandelwa. 

Kambe apha sifumene ukubangaba kwisibhedele esi salapha eVictoria 

njengokuba kusandiswa kusakhiwa enye into ebingandiswa ngamandla 

ombane abheka phaya esibhedlele. Into ke leyo efumana ingqwalasela 

kuba ukubangaba umsebenzi, the load iyakhula kodwa amandla ombane 

oza apha esibhedlele awandiswa wona iyakubanga into yokokuba 

umbane usoloko usiwa ngalo lonke ixesha. Lomba ke ufumana 

ingqwalasela njengokuba ndithetha bakhona abantu abasebenza lonto 

ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba kukho ukulungelalanisa kokokuba 

njengokuba sisanda kufuneka namandla ombane, ukusaplaya isibhedlele 

esiya akhuliswe ande nawo. 

Ubhuti Malixole Ncume uthi ingaba abantu abaguli na emva kwentsimbi 

yesine. Ndikhe ndafuna ukumjonga ukuba bendikumfutshane naye 

bendiya kumqwalasela nangakumbi. Kodwa yena umele ukuba uthi 

amaziko empilo bekunga angangavalwa kuba abantu bayagula 

nasebusuku, kunjalo nje nangoMgqibelo. [Interjections.] …..Alright. 

Intokunayo uyithetha ngoluya hlobo lwethu thina bantu batsha. Uye 

umjonge ke ube ngathi ungasondela kuye xa ethetha ngoluya hlobo. 

Masiyamkele lanto kuba ngenene kumele ukubangaba sisebenzele 

ukubangaba kusoloko kuvuliwe ngalo lonke ixesha kumaziko

okufumana impilo. Kodwa lonto sakuyenza kangangamandla esinawo 

kuba nabasebenzi aba banexesha eliqingqiweyo abamele ukubangaba 

balisebenze umntu ngamnye ngelanga. Ke njengokuba sibanomngeni 

wokushokoxeka kwabo – uyabona ke nantsi enye into ebendinga 

ndingayithetha ngelinye ixesha ndande ngayo. Kuba kwisebe lezempilo 

inene ukuba ubani ujonga iminyaka elishumi ubuye umva landile isebe 

lezempilo kodwa lande kancinci kwicala lenkonzo zabona bantu 

ekumele ukuba baxhasa ukunikezwa kwenkonzo kwisebe lezempilo. 

Kwicala le administrative support ne-management sikhule kangange 

160% ukuba ubani ujonga iminyaka emihlanu edlulileyo. Kodwa ukuba 

ubani ujonga elicala le medical nelamanesi asikhulanga nangaphezu 

kwe-2% kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. Into ethetha ukuthi 

njengokuba sisanda nje amanesi akandi wona, oogqirha abandi bona 

njengokuba amaziko esiba maninzi. Ifune ke lonto ukuba kufuneka siye 

kulungisa lanto yokokuba masikhe mhlawumbi sithi balance things. 

Singe oonesi nogqirha sibaqesha kakhulu kunokuba bekunjalo 

ngaphambili. 

Now siphethe lonto ke ukulungisa. Ukuze ke sikwazi ukuza kufikelela 

nakulento yokokuba oonesi babekhona kakhulu namaxesha la kumaziko 

ezempilo sikwazi ukubangaba ande alungelane nento yokokuba 

nasebusuku kubekhona umntu okhoyo kwikliniki okungenani nokuba 

mnye ke. Yinto esisebenzela kuyo leyo. Sivumelana ncakasana 

ukubangaba noko akumele ukuba avalwe kunjalo nje kuvalwa iweekend 

yonke kufuneka siyilungisile lonto. Kodwa siyilungise 

ngokwesakhono sabasebenzi ekumele sibe nabo. 

Eyokugqibela, yile yokokuba xa kusenziwa i-referrals, xa ubuze apha 

esibhedlele kuthiwe ufanele ukuba uye kufumana uncedo mhlawumbi 

eMakiwane masikhe sitsho njengokuba ebenze umzekelo. Kuze kuthi ke 

ngoku sele ubuyile phaya eMakiwane xa kuthiwe uze uphinde ubuye 

ngomhla othile kuthiwe zibonele. 

Noko yinto leyo ebangela into yokokuba sisokolise abantu abahleli 

besokola kakade. Bekumele ukuba noko njengokuba ubuye 

wathunyelwa phaya njengokuba sineziya zithuthi kuthiwa yi-patient 

transport vehicles ebikuthathile yakusa xa sele kufuneka uphinde 

waphinda ubuye uze kwakulendawo ibiye yakuthumela phaya 

ukwenzela ukuba ufumane uncedo lokuba uphindele. Ukubangaba 

akwenzeki njalo yinto ekufuneka siyilungisile leyo namagosa kubekho 

noko ukukhawulelana nabantu. Andicingi ukuba injongo kukuba 

kufuneka kuviswe abantu ubuhlungu xa befuneka befumene amancedo 

ezempilo. Mandime apho mhlali ngaphambili ndizamile ukuyinyathela 

lemibuzo xa iyonke. 

Mr SPEAKER: Masibulele Mphathiswa. Ngoku ke phambi kokuba 

ndigqithele kumgca ongezantsi sizakucela ukuthetha namalungu la 

okuhlala. Phaya ngasemva kukho itafile apho samkela khona lento 

kuthiwa zi-petitions ukuba kukhona abantu abanalonto. Ndenzela into

yokokuba singamane sirhawulwa ngabanye apha, ikhona itafile 

ebekelwe lonto phaya ngasemva. Ngoba lentlanganiso size kumamela 

ikakhulu nina. Kodwa ke inxalenye yale ntlanganiso siqhuba umsebenzi 

wePalamente. 

Ngoku siza kungena kumcimbi wokunikwa kwengxelo zonyaka 

ngamasebe athile. Anizokunikwa thuba ke ngoku nina ukuba nibuze 

imibuzo koko niza kubangababukeli. Ithi ke lonto kuza kuthetha thina 

sodwa ngoku apha nina nibukele. Inxalenye ke yale nkqubo size nayo 

apha kufuneka niyibone iPalamente in action. Ndikhe ndeva abanye 

apha bekhalaza ukuba kutheni kukho abakhwaza abanye across. 

Ndabava abanye bephendula. Kodwa ndaqonda ukuba nani 

ningabanikazi balento nine-right yokuphakamisa into eningayiqondiyo 

kakuhle ukuba yintoni na le yenziwayo apha. 

Ndifuna ke ukuthi ngoku nizakubukela asinigxothi kodwa ke kuza 

kufuneka ukuba sihloniphe kuba kuzakuthetha amalungu ngoku. Kule 

nkqubo ke sizakuyilandela, ndibhekisa ke kumalungu ke ngoku zikhona 

iingxelo zonyaka kula masebe esizakuthetha ngawo kodwa akunikwanga 

wonke umntu. Kwaba bantu basincedisayo ukuba ilungu lifuna ikopi 

linelungelo lokuya kuyifuna phaya ngoba kuthiwa bekutsho kwa 

amalungu ukuba ziyasinda ezizinto xa ziziswe zonke apha. So you are 

free to go and get a copy if you want to refer. Ndingakhumsha xa 

ndithetha nabo kuba bayasiva bona isiNgesi bonke. [Interjections.] 

Ndizakumane ndixuba.

Ngenxa yokokuba ke sinexesha esilisikelweyo ndizakugqagqanisa. 

Ndivumele Somlomo ndixelele leNdlu ukuba le ofisi eyi-ofisi kaPremier 

ngokusebenzisana nazo zonke iiDepartments zePhondo ngokuthunywa 

ngumbutho wesizwe iAfrican National Congress ukuba sisebenzisane 

noluntu sigqagqanise ukutshintsha impilo yalo. 

Izokuthi dakanca apha kwezi zihlwele ingxelo yayo yonyaka ingxelo 

yela ziko kuthiwa yi-ECSSEC, ingxelo yeliya ziko kuthiwa yi-ECATU, 

ingxelo yokugqibela ye-Eastern Cape Youth Commission. Xa ndisithi ke 

ingxelo yokugqibela ye-Eastern Cape Youth Commission

nakukhumbula ukuba sasithathe isigqibo sokuba iyaphela i-Youth 

Commission. Ngoku umsebenzi obukade usenziwa yiyo uyakwenziwa 

yi-National Youth Development Agency. 

Silapha ke Somlomo ukuzokuthi lomaziko nale ofisi bahambe mgama 

uthini. Sikhumbuzane Somlomo ukuba oluluntu luthe xa beluthatha 

izirhweqe lusiya eluvotweni. Izirhweqe ke zi-ballpen. Lwathi kwi- 

African National Congress xa sisebenzisana sibambisene indeed 

singenza lukhulu. 

Sithe saqinisekisa sileliya sebe ukuba lamgomo siwenza ube ngumgomo 

esiwuphilayo ngokuthi sithi gqolo sibe-programme esivene ngayo 

sisigqeba sePhondo sikhokelwa ke yila ofisi kaPremier ukuba inene 

emva kolonyulo olo masithi bhazalala singene eluntwini. Njengokuba 

siqhuba ke nangoku siphakathi kwabantu nakuva konomathotholo ukuba 

siyabuyela ngoku kweziya ndawo besisuka kuzo kulo nyaka uphelileyo 

ngenjongo zokuthi benisinike ……. 

…Bathi abaseJoe Gqabi apho besigqibele khona Mntungwa. Bathi 

abaseJoe Gqabi besininike uluhlu lwezikhalazo olungamashumi amane 

anesithathu siyafuna ukuripota ngokwethu zitsho i-stakeholders phaya ireport 

yazo. Sifuna ukuripota ngokwethu ukuba siyangqina ukuba 

uluhlu kule 43 olungange-35 inene asinakuze siphinde sixoxe ngalo 

uRulumente ugqibile ukuzi-athenda ezo ngxaki. Sishiyeke nezisibhozo. 

Ndithe ke xa bendibala i-percentage yalomyinge ndafumanisa ukuba 

ngu-81%. Ngokuya ndandingumntwana wesikolo ke u-81% 

wayethetha ukuba you have perfomed with distinction. Lo Rulumente ke 

has done just that. Njengokuba simuva from district to district sifumana 

ingxelo inline with landima yokusebenzisana noluntu 

ngokwemandeyithi. 

I-ofisi kaPremier mandikhumbuze kwakhona ukuba inoxanduva 

lokuqiniseka ukuba amasebe onke kaRulumente neziseko 

zikaRulumente zisebenza ngendlela eyiyo. Ngoko ke in so doing iperformance 

plan yala ofisi kaPremier isekelezelwe kulonto. 

Besithe ke xa besithunywa kwathiwa nazi izinto zintlanu emasisebenze 

phezu kwazo. Imfundo isemqoka. Sivile apha kuphefumlwa ngendima 

ehanjwayo kwezemfundo. Ezempilo, ukuphuculwa kwezempilo 

kusemqoko. Ukuphuhliswa kwendawo ezingamaphandle, ukwakhiwa 

koqoqosho kuqinisekiswa ukuba amathuba emisebenzi ayavuleleka. 

Ukulwa urhwaphilizo noburhalarhume. Fighting crime and corruption. 

Mandikhumbuze leNdlu ukuba uMongameli kwi-Januwari statement 

yakhe uthe masikhumbule kuba sakuthi ukuze sibheke phambili 

ngendlela siqinisekise ukuba inene impilo yoluntu, intlalo yoluntu 

itshintshile ukuze ibengcono.

Ndimamele apha xa bekuxoxwa kubonakaliswa kamhlophe ukuba 

ngokwenene impilo yabantu iyatshintsha. Uthi umntu ewe ikliniki 

ikhona intle ngoku ngasike wongeze la amayeza kuthiwa ngu-ARV. Into 

ethetha ukuthi ikhona into etshintshileyo ngalo mzuzu ngoku sifuna 

ukuphinda sibheke phambilana. Nantso ke indlela yokusebenzisana 

sibambisene. 

Masivume kwakhona Somlomo ukuba phaya ePhulukwane sithe kwesi 

sigaba sikaRulumente sifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba sakha uRulumente 

lonto sithi xa ikhunyushwa ngamakhumusha it is a developmental state. 

URulumente ongenjongo zophuhliso loluntu. Kuthiwa ke uyakuthi 

ukuze umakhe uRulumente abe lolohlobo uqinisekise ukuba iinkqubo 

zalo Rulumente ziqhutywa ngabantu ngokwabo. Xa zisakhiwa ezo 

nkqubo abantu bayayithatha inxaxheba. Kwakhona ukuze zikwazi 

ukuphila abantu bayazihlola from time to time, a people centered, 

people driven sustainable development which includes a growth path. 

Siyafuna ke ukusebenzisana noluntu lweli Phondo ukuqinisekisa ukuba 

uqoqosho lweli Phondo luyakhula ukuze loMzantsi Afrika sonke 

siwunqwenelayo ongenabuhlanga, ongenacalu-calulo ngokwesini apho 

abantu bahleli eluxolweni nangokonwaba nguMzantsi Afrika esithi 

siwuphilele xa sisonke. 

Ndiyafuna ke kwakhona Somlomo ukuthi xa ndithetha nolu luntu 

masikhumbuzane ukuba la ofisi kwakhona yeNkulumbuso yi-ofisi 

ejongene ne-planning yePhondo xa lilonke. Siyivume into yokokuba 

ewe akhona amagingxi-gingxi esihlangana nawo apha kwi-planning 

asikade siyicwabe ngendlela epheleleyo kodwa amaqhinga nobuchule 

bokuyenza lonto akhona. 

La ofisi inoxanduva lokuqinisekisa into yokokuba iinkonzo ezisiwa 

eluntwini zisiwa ngendlela eyiyo. Kwakhona ifanele ke xa sithetha 

ngokusiwa kwenkonzo ngendlela eyiyo lonto ithetha ukuthi lemikhwa 

yokurhwaphilizo nayo sidilishana nayo ngokwenja idilishana nethambo. 

Okunene ke iyakucaca apha ekuqhubeni kwe-report ukuba njengokuba 

sisebenza kulo nyaka akhona amasebe apho side sanyanzeleka ukuba 

sisebenzise ezona zixhobo zilumayo apha ekudilishaneni norhwaphilizo. 

NgokwakaRulumente ke likhona isebe okanye i-unit i-Special 

Investigation Unit. Apho imnandi khona ke kukuba yona xa ifumene 

ukuba nguwe lo ube-responsible for olurhwaphilizo ayipheleli 

ekuboneni ukuba nguwe. Iyagqitha ithi nguwe urhwaphilize 

kangakanani and therefore kwezi zinto usele unazo zingakanani ke 

ngoko emasizithathe ukuze imali kaRulumente ibuyele kuRulumente. 

Inamandla okutshutshisa nokuthimba. 

Yiyo lento sithi ke kula masebe angathi noko aphuma emgaqweni 

kakhulu, anabasebenzi abathande ukuxaka sifake i-Special Investigation 

Unit ukuze ekugqibeleni umntu nomntu asimele isimoko sakhe. Kodwa

imali kaRulumente yona ikwazi ukuphinde ibuyele kuRulumente ize 

kwenza ezi nkonzo ibifanele ukuzenza. 

Sele ekhona ke amasebe asebeza kuso i-Special Investigation Unit eli 

lezemfundo. Ngenxa yomyinge wemali ephaya kweliya sebe nokuthi xa 

kuzavazeka imali kweliya sebe ithetha ukuthi imali esisixa esininzi yeli 

Phondo inokulahleka. 

Ndiyafuna ke kwakhona, asizokusoloko sibetha sizakuncoma apho 

kufuneka sincome khona. Kumasebe alishumi elinesine kweli Phondo 

inline nale programme yokutshintsha iripoti zika-Auditor General 

okanye yokutshintsha indlela esiphatha ngayo imali ukuze xa si-odithwa 

ngu-Auditor General afumane iincwadi zethu zikumgangatho onguwo. 

Amashumi amasebe kwali shumi elinesine aye akwazi ukufumana 

iincwadi noko ezamkelekileyo ku-Auditor General. 

Yinto ethetha ukuthi ke leyo we are turning the tight, we are turning the 

corner. Apho sithagethe khona kukuba njengokuba ilizwe lonke lisithi 

lithagethe ukuba ngo-2014 abe onke amasebe kaRulumente aneunqualified 

audits. Apha kweliPhondo sifuna ukuyikhawulezisa lento 

thina ukwenzela ukuba ngapha ko-2012 singaphinde sixoxe ngoqualified 

nontoni. Sisebenzela lonto. So siza kudilishana nala mane 

siwancedise xa sisonke ukuze aphume kule meko akuyo. Amabini in 

fact sitsho sithi angene phaya ngempazamo akanakuphinde angene 

phaya, mabini a-serious ekufuneka sincedisene nawo ngala besixoxa 

ngawo namhlanje. 

Ngalo sifuna nina luntu nisincedise ukudilishana nawo. Because 

ngamasebe azisa iinkonzo kuni, ngamasebe apho i-well being yomntu, 

imfundo nempilo that is what makes you the whole in the absence of any 

of the two ibakhona into erongo nomntu. Yiyo lento sithi abaluleke 

ngaphezu kokubaluleka and therefore masibambisane ke ngokudilishana 

nawo. 

Siyivume into ethi la ofisi kaPremier izeka-mzekweni kumongo wemandate 

eyinikiweyo luluntu ukuzama ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba 

sincedisana sisonke singalamasebe ukuze ezi-priorities zikaRulumente 

kule-term singaziwisi phantsi. 

Siyenza ke lonto ngokuthi amasebe la siwancedise akwazi ukulawula 

ezawo imali. I-challenge enkulu kumasebe ethu through the audit 

reports yindlela esiphatha ngayo okanye esimaneyija ngayo abantu. 

Siyavuya ke ukuchaza apha ukuba ngoku iplani, the human resource 

plan yale province ikhona. Amasebe ayancediswa ukuba akwazi 

ukusebenzisana nawo. Amahlanu sele efumene inkxaso yala ofisi, 

isebenzisana nezinye ezi i-ofisi ezingqamene nokumaneyijwa kweresources 

zikaRulumente ukutsho ke eliya lika-Treasury, unondyebo 

wePhondo, neliya lika-Local Government and Traditional Affairs.

Okulandelayo bekukho umntu obethetha nge-scheme apha okanye ibursaries 

NSFAS. Mandingayishiyi lendawo apha phakathi kwabantu. 

Ingxaki esithi sibe nayo siyila ofisi kaPremier yeyokokuba aba bafundi 

xa bebhala u-Grade 12 aba-aplayi. Kuze kuthi xa kuphuma iziphumo 

ngoJanuwari okanye ngoFebruwari umntu ebona iziphumo zakhe zizihle 

afune ukuya esikolweni. Aze kukhala ukuba hayi asinamali yokusa 

lomntwana esikolweni. 

Bazali ayikho imali ehlala phaya kula ofisi kaPremier ingekho itsheki 

ezakuphuma izekuwe ukuba hamba uye kufundisa umntwana. 

Umntwana uza kufuna isikolo apha kulo nyaka elungiselela lonyaka 

uzayo. Xa kuvulwa izikolo uzakuya kula ndawo ibithe based 

kwiziphumo zakhe – kuba xa usamkelwa e-University akubuzwa 

affordability, akubuzwa ukuba uzakuba nayo na imali. Kubuzwa ukuba 

uzakupasa na? Sifuna iziphumo sikubone ukuba uzakupasa. Wakube 

wamkelwe ukuba uzakupasa uyesuka ekhaya uye kutsho phaya 

esikolweni utsho uphaya esikolweni ukuba ewe ke ndipasile kodwa 

imali andinayo. Luqala phaya ke luvele olwancediso lwala ofisi 

kaPremier. Sithi ukuze singenelele kube kuxa kukho ingxaki eziextreme 

outside the policy. 

Iyanyanzeleka ke lento ukuba uluntu luyiqonde lungalindeli into 

yokokuba xa kuvulwa izikolo kuzakuthiwa nazi i-bursary yizani nize 

kuthatha i-bursary. I-bursary eziphuma ngeliya xesha zeza babantu 

baphefome kakhulu kunabanye siye siba-awade ngenxa yeziphumo zabo 

ezihle ukwegqitha. Sithi ke ngoku ngenxa yento yokokuba usebenze 

kakhulu wena siyakupha le as an award. Kodwa indlela yokuncediswa 

koluntu ukuthi lufunde iphaya esikolweni. Ndiyayicela ke lonto kubazali 

abalapha ukuba masincedisane ngayo. 

Oko sijikeleza ke apha Somlomo besinikeza abafundi abatreyinwayo 

through le programme ephaya kula ofisi kaPremier i-certificate zetraining. 

Ndingatsho kamhlophe apha ukuba sele sigqithile kwiwaka 

elinekhulu elinamashumi amahlanu anesine abafundi ebesiba-awada 

njengokuba sijikeleza. Elo nani lingaphezulu ngo-250 kwinani 

ebesilithagethile. Into ethetha ukuthi la programme iyakhula, iyanyelela 

ukubheka phambili. 

Kukhona nabo basincedisileyo bafunda kwi-FET colleges. Xa sisithi 

sifuna ukuzenza zibesitrongo i-FET colleges sithetha ukubonakalisa iseriousness 

yethu ekutshintsheni imeko ye-skills zethu kweli phondo. 

Somlomo ndivumele ke nditsho ukuba enye yemikhankaso esiyenzileyo 

yeyokuqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzi aba bakaRulumente bakwimo 

yempilo eyamkelekileyo. Besine-campaign phaya. La campaign 

yokutesta koluntu jikelele kukho erana apha ecaleni kwayo yokutesta 

abasebenzi aba bakaRulumente. Esibakhuthazayo ukuba mabateste 

ukuze basazi i-status sabo. Kuba xa singasazi i-status sabo nabo xa 

bengazazi lonto inako ukuqhwalelisa iinkonzo ezi bafanele ukuba 

bazinikeze ebantwini. Kuba xa begula rhoqo umntu le service afanele

ukuba uyayiprovayida ayikwazi ukuprovayideka ngendlela 

efanelekileyo. 

Ndiyafuna ke ukuyithetha into yokokuba nangona bengathathi nxaxheba 

bonke kodwa noko inani elisondele kwiwaka, more than 900 

bayithathile inxaxheba kule campaign besijikeleza ngayo. Into ethetha 

ukuthi ke noko baza kukwazi ukuphangela ngendlela eyiyo, umntu 

uzakukwazi nokunakekela nempilo yakhe ngendlela eyiyo. 

Siwancedisile amasebe uku-implimenta lento kuthiwa ngu-PMDS kuba 

ibhonasi bebekade abasebenzi beyifumana ngo-pass one pass all. Ukuba 

omnye uyifumene nam ndiza kuyifumana. Ngoku sithi ibhonasi le 

kuthiwa ngu-PMDS yifumane ngokwendlela othe wena njengomsebenzi 

wakhontribhutha ngayo kwi-APP yale Department ukuyo. Ngoko 

imisebenzi yakho mayi-alayinwe ngendlela nokuthi isebe eli 

imiphumela yalo kufuneka iyintoni. Olo ncediso lwenziwe yila ofisi 

kaPremier futhi onke amasebe ngoku ancedisiwe. 

Ndiyayazi ke kukho izinto ekusoloko apha kusithiwa thina siyazibetha 

naxa sele sisenza kakuhle. Sinamasebe amabini afumene i-National 

Awards on Innovation. U-innovation ke it means kukucinga proactively 

and innovatively. Ucinge uze nento engakhange yenziwe 

ndawo. Lomasebe mabini ngu-Department of Agriculture and Rural 

Development noDepartment of Transport. Bafumene i-National Awards 

on Innovation. [Applause.] Zizinto ke ezi esithi sizenze sithathe 

inxaxheba kwinkqubo zikaZwelonke ukuze siphumelele. 

Kwakhona la ofisi okanye ke mandithi u-Provincial Government, 

i-Executive Council yeliPhondo iye yane-provincial strategic framework 

eyenze into yokokuba sibe nendlela yokuqinisekisa uthungelwano 

lwendlela yokusebenza xa kusisiwa iinkonzo ebantwini. Kuyekwe 

ukufumanisa into yokokuba iyileyo iDepartment izisebenzela yodwa 

ekoneni yayo. Ngoku the outcomes approach iyazinyanzela 

iiDepartments ukuba uRural Development azazi ukuba akasoze akwazi 

ukuphuhlisa ezi lali esebenza yedwa, uzakunyanzeleka aze 

neDepartment of Education noDepartment of Housing, noDepartment 

of Safety, nazo zonke iiDepartments, ngaxesha ngalinye kunenkonzo 

ukufuneka zizisiwe eluntwini for ukuphuhlisa. 

So umsebenzi wela sebe kukukho-odineyitha amanye kweziya ndawo 

zasemakhaya. Nawo amasebe ngoku aya eyiqhela into yokokuba xa 

isebe line-programme mabasebenzisane through the clusters ezikhona 

nangendlela nje yokukho-odineyithana. 

Ithi ke lonto nezi zigaba zikaRulumente – niya kukhumbula kulo nyaka 

uphelileyo malungu ukuba besiye sane-intergovernmental relations 

summit engenjongo zokuqinisekisa into yokokuba ezi zigaba 

zoRulumento uLocal Government, Provincial Government, no-National 

Government kubekhona indlela yokusebenzisana noomasipala, as 

iPhondo sinayo ke lo framework.

Somlomo ndivumele kwakhona nditsho ukuba abantu basoloko besithi 

thina sazi i-PGDP nimane nisiza nezinto ezintsha apha. Hayi, i-PGDP 

iphaya as an anchor yokusikhombisa indlela ngalo lonke ixesha, or a 

compass let me put it that way. Siyayirivayiza, siyirivwuywe after every 

5 years. Ikhona iyasetyenziswa ukuqinisekisa ukuba i-programmes esithi 

singamasebe sizenze zithetha into enye okanye zingenjongo 

zokuphuhlisa la-PGDP. 

Indawo endifuna ukuyichaza Somlomo apha kuba nam andixolanga yiyo 

tu kwi-performance ye-Government as a whole. Yilena yokuqeshwa 

kwabantu abangomama, nabantu abakhubazekileyo. Asiqhubi kakuhle 

phaya, not only as a province as isizwe, Nationally. Amanani abantu 

esikwaziyo ukubatsala babekwizigaba zokuphatha ulawulo kumasebe 

ethu awangqinelani nendlela ebekufanele ukuba siqhuba ngayo. 

Sakukhumbula ukuba umthetho uthi kwi-administration 50% mayibe 

ngomama 50% ibengotata. i-2% ibengabantu abakhubazekileyo. 

Asikaqhubi kakuhle. 

NjengePhondo kwabakhubazekileyo asenzi no-1% singu-0,2%, komama 

siphaya ku-34%. Into ethetha ukuthi sisenendima ende ekufuneka 

siyihambe ukuzama ukutsala abantu abangomama nokuqinisa izakhono 

zabo ekukhokheleni ukuze bakwazi uku-assume(a) ezi-responsibilities 

zokukhokela kula masebe onke kaRulumente sikwazi ukufikelela kula 

Mzantsi Afrika ebesithe awunalo ucalu-calulo ngokwesini, awunalo 

icalu-calulo ngokwebala, awunalo icalu-calulo nangenkqubo okanye 

nendlela zokuhlala unguMzantsi Afrika ophuhlayo nobheka phambili. 

Yeyonanto besithunyelwe ukuba size kuyenza leyo, yeyonanto ke 

ekuzakufuneka sincedisane ngayo ukuba yenzeke ke leyo. 

Kodwa ke iplani you would note hon Speaker ukuba sinamasebe 

amaninzi ngoku esivala izikhewu zo-HOD abanye abasele bemkile 

nabanye abangekemki. Ithi ke lonto in that process we must ensure 

ukuba siyakwazi ukumenza lo 50/50 sithetha ngaye apha. Siyakwazi 

ukumenza lo 0.2% sithetha ngaye apha. 

Somlomo ndivumele ke ndidakance apha kuleNdlu i-Annual Report yeoffice 

of the Premier, Annual Report ye-ECATU, Annual Report ye- 

Eastern Cape Youth Commission kunye ne-Annual Report ye-ECSSEC. 

Enkosi Somlomo ndiyabulela ngexesha lakho. [Applause.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Siyabulela. Siphakamisa ke uNobhala aphakamise 

umntu olandelayo wesine. 4 th order of the day.

ukuze sibene-pilot khona. Izakwenza ukuba ke lonto ngokuya sikhula 

sikhule on the basis yokurola out eza-pilots. 

Ndithi ke naxa usiya phaya esebeni uzakufumanisa ukuba noko xa 

sithethayo namhlanje sithetha phantsi kwemeko apho naxa ujonga 

kwiziseko ezi zasebuRulumenteni uzakufumanisa ukuba noko bakhona 

abaqeshwa ngoku abajongene ncakasane nalo msebenzi we-rural 

development. 

Kuphinde futhi sinomsebenzi ebesiwunikwe yiNkulumbuso ngawo 

nalonyaka owokokuba masihlenga-hlengise i-entities zikaRulumente 

ezisebenza umsebenzi wophuhliso lwamaphandle. Zachazwa ke yango- 

ECATU, yango-ASGISA, yango-Vimba. Nawo ke lowo umsebenzi siye 

sawuphakamela sawuphatha ngezandla ezingenamikhinqi. Ndisitsho nje 

siyawuqukumbela kulo nyaka ngumsebenzi ebesiwuqale kakuhle kulo 

nyaka uphelileyo. Into ethetha ukuthi xa kuphela lonyaka siza 

kuwugqiba ngelisonga ovimba, ASGISA no-ECATU ngelenza i-rural 

development agency. 

Ndiyafuna kwakhona ukutsho ukuba isebe eli liye laziqaqambisa 

nanjengokuba uPremier ebesitsho apha ngokuba lifumane iripoti ka- 

Auditor General ethi noko iimali zesebe nomsebenzi wesebe

ubuphethwe ngezandla ezifanelekileyo. Iyi-unqualified audit report.

report. [Interjections.] [Applause.] 

Ndiyafuna ke into yokokuba sibengathi siyayifaka apha egazini lento 

yokokuba i-ANC iyalawula manyani ngoku. [Interjections.] [Applause.] 

Ndiyafuna ke ukuya ngasekugqibeni nje ndiphakamise iingongoma 

ezimbalwa ezona zenza ukuba noko sibe phaya esebeni asiphathekanga 

kakuhle ncam. ….[Interjections.] …. 

Mr SPEAKER: You are saying order! … 

Ms P MAJODINA: Yes to that member. 

Mr SPEAKER: Okay, can I hear you. ? 

Ms P MAJODINA: The problem Mr Speaker uhon Mvenya is 

misleading this House ngokuhawula athi xa u-MEC Sogoni esithi kuneunqualified 

audit report athi- uyaxoka uAG. I do not think that is 

acceptable in this Legislature because she is the hon member in this 

House. And xa ebona ndiphakamisa isandla uyaphuma. 

Mr SPEAKER: Where is hon Mvenya? [Interjections.] I am sure we 

will deal with that when she comes back. I did not hear that she saying 

the AG is lying. Thank you. Let us proceed. 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR AGRICULTURE AND RURAL 

DEVELOPMENT: Enkosi Somlomo. Bendisithi ke bahlali siyafuna 

ngokuzithoba okukhulu ukutsho ukuba kulo msebenzi wethu 

wophuhliso lolimo nokufuya kule province siyayazi ukuba kukho izinto 

ebekufanele ukuba sizenza ngcono kunoku sikwenzayo. Kodwa ndifuna 

nje ukuzikhankanya zibe mbalwa mhlawumbi zibe mbini okanye zibe 

ntathu ukubonakalisa ukuba nokuba siyaqhwalela kwezo zinto 

makungacingelwa ukuba asiyazi ukuba besisenokwenza ngcono kodwa 

mhlawumbi sibethwa zizinto ezithile. 

Oko kuqala noko xa ujonga ixesha eli laleminyaka igqithileyo apho 

uRulumente ubesenza ikhwelo lokuba abantu mababuyele emasimini 

kuyabonakala into yokokuba kwinkalo ezininzi elakhwelo liye 

lasatyelwa. Abantu ngenene nangenyaniso bayakufuna ukulima 

nokufuya ngoku. Kodwa into abanqwenela yona kukuba uRulumente 

abancedise ekwenzeni lonto. Sinazo ke ezi-programmes zisapota kanye 

lonto kodwa siwa nganeno kuba noko uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali alwenzi 

ukuba sikwazi ukufikelela kuwo wonke umntu onqwenayo. 

Ngalo ndlela yenze into yokokuba sibe ngoku siqalisa iphulo apho siza 

kuzama ukuba noko kwindawo ngendawo zeli Phondo nokuba 

asingefikeleli kuwonke-wonke kodwa mabebekho abo bathe xa sifikile

kubo sibashiye noko bebhetele kunangoku besingekafiki kuqala. Kuba 

siyabona ayisincedi nganto lenkqubo yokuba sifune ukwenza u-hit and 

run othile. Sifike apha sibeke into encinci uthi ungekayazi nokuba uza 

kwenza ntoni ngayo sibe sele sinikele umva. 

Sazixelela ukuba ngoku sizakuqala iphulo apho lowo sithe sabe siza 

kumncedisa noko simshiye ekwazi ukufamisha ngendlela egqibeleleyo. 

Into ethetha into yokokuba ayizokuba ngunyaka omnye qha siza 

kuthanda ukumombatha nokuba yiminyaka emithathu okanye iminyaka 

emine. 

Okwesibini, enye yezinto esimise kakubana ngulo mcimbi wembalela. 

Uyabona kwezi ndawo zalapha, umzekelo eNkonkobe akukho nethontsi 

eli lamanzi. Kangangokuba tata uSpeaker ngoku ubusithi xa siqala apha 

kusasa lithuba lokuba umntu angazithandazela owa umthandazo uye 

waba kukuba noko malibe ngathi elithontsi lale veki liyanda. Kuba 

ngaphandle kweli thontsi zonke ezinzame sizenzayo aziyi ndawo. 

Siza kuzama ke kangangoko sinokwenza njengokuba noko ziwile 

iimvula ezincinci zokuqala noko oganda-ganda bangene kwindawo 

abafanele ukungena kuzo ukwenzela into yokokuba umsebenzi wolimo 

ubhekele phambili. 

Ndiyafuna ke ukutsho ukuba apha esebeni sikwanayo noko into esenza 

sibe nonxunguphalo lokuba xa sijonga ii-programmes ezi zokuncedisa 

amafama ziyathanda into yokokuba ziwe nganeno xa sele sifika kulento 

inobuyekezo lomhlaba sibe sifanele ukuba siyayisapota ke ngoku lo 

programme in other words i-land reform support. Kukho iifama ezininzi 

apha ebezinikezelwe kubantu bakuthi kodwa ezafama aziqhubeli ndawo. 

Kuba abantu bathi ngoku sele bephaya kuzo iphinde i-farming ikholapse 

ibuyele emva. 

Kwakhona ke kunzima ukuba sibagxeke ngokugqibeleleyo kuba nathi 

sinoxanduva singuRulumente ebesifanele ukuba siyalwenza lokuba 

sibanike isapoti ukwenzela ukuba noko bafamishe ngokugqibeleleyo. 

Zezinye zezinto ke ezo esizimisele ukuzilungisa xa sele sisiya phambili. 

Besilapha ke ixesha elininzi sijonga ii-projects ezilapha siyafumanisa 

into yokokuba ezinye ze-projects zethu ewe ziqhubaka kakuhle kodwa 

uninzi lwe-projects zethu azikafiki kwelizinga sinqwenela into 

yokokuba ii-projects zezolimo nokufuya zifikelele kuzo. 

Kodwa ke mandincome intsebenziswano esinayo apha ePhondweni 

nemibutho yamafama esinayo apha. Nokokuba ngu-NAFU, nokuba yi- 

Agri Eastern Cape, nokuba ngamafama ngokwe-commodity unions neassociations 

zabo. Sithi ke siyayibulela lontsebenziswano sinethemba 

lokokuba xa sinokumane sisandiselwa imadlanyana kancinci nakancinci 

noko umsebenzi wethu wokwenza kubekho ucingo apho kufanele ukuba 

kubekho ucingo khona. Wokwenza kubekho itele-tele apho kufanele 

zibekho khona. Kubekho idiphu apho kufanele ukuba ibekho khona. 

Noko ezo-services zinjalo zizakwanda ziye phambili.

Ndicela ke Somlomo ukuba njengokuba iNkulumbuso ibisele isihlahlele 

indlela ndizibeke apha zonke ezingxelo zifanelekileyo. Ndiyafuna ke 

kodwa Somlomo ukulicela uxolo kuwe ndizakuphinde ndiyenze ke lonto 

ngokufanelekileyo sibhale incwadi. Apha kuthi kwi-order paper 

kubhalwe into yokokuba sifanele ukubeka ingxelo yase-ASGISA. 

Kodwa asiyibekanga ngokwethu lengxelo yase-ASGISA kuba 

besinenkolelo yokokuba izakwenjenjalo i-ofisi yeNkulumbuso. Kodwa 

siza kuzama ke into yokokuba siyilungise lonto kwangoku i-House 

isahleli apha ezo ngxelo zase-ASGISA zingene nokuba zingeniswa sithi 

nokuba zingeniswa yi-ofisi yeNkulumbuso. 

Senzela ke Somlomo ukuba xa sijonga ezi-annual reports siyazi into 

yokokuba ngenxa yolutshintsho lune-ASGISA ibekho noko into ethande 

ukusilela apho ukwenza into yokokuba ingxelo efanelekileyo ukuza 

ePalamente ize ngeli xesha belibekiwe. Enkosi kakhulu Somlomo. 

[Applause.] 

Mr SPEAKER: Masibulele. Phambi kokuba siqhube uhon Mvenya 

kuphakama into yokokuba iNdlu iziva ithobekile apha xa kukho into 

ethi u-Auditor General xa enika uluvo lwakhe ilungu uhon Mvenya athi 

- ayiyonyani lonto. Licela ke ukuba uyirhoxise lontetha ukwenzela 

ukuba leNdlu ihlale inesidima. Iyihloniphile into yokuthi u-Auditor 

General ngumsebenzi wakhe ukunika uluvo ngokuphathwa kweresources 

zikaRulumente. Hon Mvenya?

ngokuthetha into endingakhange ndiyithethe eligama lithi “xoka” liunparliamentary. 

Ndigqithe ke hon Speaker. [Interjections.] [Laughter.] 

Kulungile Speaker ndiyarhoxa. Bendisithi nyani ke uVimba xa 

kusithiwa unencwadi ezintle noko bendothukile kodwa ke ndiyarhoxa 

ukuba yinto engekho parliamentary leyo.

ngokwesikhokelo seNkulumbuso ne-Executive Council ngokubanzi 

kukho lamsebenzi besiwenza wokudibanisa i-Eastern Cape Parks Board, 

ne-Eastern Cape Tourism Board. Siwenzile sawugqiba lamsebenzi xa

Kangangokuba njengokuba kuqale lonyaka sikuwo ngoku yi-entity enye

Ndiyafuna ke kwakhona ukutsho ukuba besiqalisa iphulo apha lokwenza

ebakwa bucala yokusapota bona. Lonyaka sithetha ngawo ke ngunyaka 

ongowokuqala kwimbali zale Province apho uRulumente athathe 

isigqibo sokubekela bucala i-R50 million ukuncedisa okopolotyeni. 

Nyani ke sinayo ingxelo etshoyo into yokokuba nakuba ithathe ixesha 

ukuze okopolotyeni bakwazi ukufikelela kula mali kodwa kona kungoku 

sithethayo nje sele bekhona okopolotyeni abakwazileyo ukuxhamla 

kula R50 million. 

Ndiyafuna kwakhona ukutsho into yokokuba xa sijonga kula mashishini 

mancinane, amashishini ahlumayo siye safaka phantsi kwale programme 

sithi yi-incubation. In other words le bendithethe ngayo nakuqala 

ngokuya bendithetha ngamafama le yokokuba xa sisapota singasapoti 

sinikele umva kodwa sisapote ngokugqibeleleyo. Sabeka phaya i-

Ndiyafuna kwakhona ukutsho ukuba i-industrial development strategy 

ye-Province iye ya-apruvwa yi-Executive Council saqalisa ukwenza isector 

plans. In other words sikwazi ukuthi kwindima ye-tourism sifuna

outsourcing sifuna ukwenza ntoni sileliPhondo njalo-njalo. Ezo plans 

sizigqibile kwi-DTO sector, kwi-film sector, kwi-tourism, kwi-acqua 

culture kwakunye ne-marine.

Ndiyafuna ukuphakamisa kwakhona Somlomo ukuba kulo msebenzi 

we-Environmental Impact Assessment lo wenza into yokokuba 

osomashishini xa befuna ukuvula amashishini wabo okanye nedepartments 

zikaRulumente zifuna ukwenza ii-projects kufuneke ukuba 

ziye kucela imvume phaya kwa-Environmental Affairs ukwenzela into 

yokokuba noko iphehlelelwe ukuba le project ayizokuyonzakalisa ienvironment. 

Noko zibekhona i-improvements kulo nyaka sithetha ngawo kuba yenye 

yezinto ebisoloko ikhalisa ingakumbi kosomashishini nakomasipala 

ukuba iyawulibazisa umnxilo lanto yeza-environmental impact 

assessments. Noko ke si-impruvile kulanto. Kangangokuba kulo nyakamali 

sithetha ngawo zonke ii-appeals ebezi-before the MEC ukwenzela 

into yokokuba azifanalayize zabantu abakhalazela ukuba lankqubo noko 

ayizange ihambe kakuhle ziye zahendilishwa zagqitywa successfully ezo 

appeals. 

Ndiyafuna kwakhona ukuyichaphazela le ndima ethi sinazo izinto 

esizenzileyo zokustabhilayiza i-Department ingakumbi kwelinqanaba 

lithetha ngokudlelana ne-public entities. Kangangokuba noko ngoku

INTRODUCTION OF ANNUAL REPORT OF 

PROVINCIAL TREASURY 

Mr M SOGONI (On behalf of the MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR 

FINANCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL 

AFFAIRS): Somlomo ndiyathemba ukuba iNkulumbuso iyayibona into 

yokokuba sele indifanele lendawo ndikuyo. [Interjections.] [Laughter.] 

Ukuba indlela ibikhona nokuba uMnumzana uJonas ebenokusele 

axelelwe ukuba angasabisazikhathaza nganto. [Laughter.] 

Apha kweli sebe lezemali Somlomo ndiphakamela nje ukutsho ukuba 

owona msebenzi ubungamandla ebesilandela wona kweli sebe 

ngumsebenzi wokuqinisekisa into yokokuba noko imeko yezemali ye- 

Province yase-Eastern Cape iya isibangcono kunangaphambili.

Amasebe kaRulumente ayisebenzise ngokufanelekileyo imali ebekwe 

kwi-coffas zawo yaye ukwenza into yokokuba noko uRulumente akwazi 

ukuzinikeza ngokugqibeleleyo iinkonzo zakhe. Isuka lonto ekubeni 

imali efanele ukuba iyasetyenziswe isebenze ngokohlobo 

olufanelekileyo. 

Ndiyafuna ke ukuba ndingqine nje kweli leNkulumbuso noko sinelunda 

ukuba lomsebenzi wokuxhasa amasebe kaRulumente le ibisithi 

iNkulumbuso ibikukuncedisa amasebe ukuba noko i-audit outcomes ze- 

Province ziphucuke. Inene nangenyaniso siyabona ukuba sisendleleni 

endle ngoku ukuya kulo direction. Andizokuwagxobha ke kuba 

iNkulumbuso ibisele iwathethe kamnandi. 

Okwesibini, kulo mcimbi wokuqiniseka into yokuba, ingakumbi 

osomashishini abancinci xa beberendarishe i-services baprovayida iigoods 

kuRulumente bayahlawulwa ngexesha elifanelekileyo. In other 

words i-payment kwi-suppliers ne-creditors zikaRulumente ibe 

lelaxesha kuthiwa mayenzeke lonto kunyinge we-30 days. 

Sithi siyayazi into yokokuba asikafikeleli ncam kulo ndawo zisekhona iservice 

providers …Mna ke kweliya lam isebe ndingomnye umntu noko 

oye waqhwalela kakhulu kula ndima ingakumbi ngoku bekufanele 

ukuba sibhatale i-service providers ebezizisaplaya nge-feed ngexesha ledrought 

ufumanise ukuba noko zigqithisile kula 30 days. Sagqithisa 

ngelinye ixesha nakwi-3 months ebekufanele ukuba besibhatele ngayo. 

Kodwa eli sebe ndithetha ngalo ndithi enye yezinto esizizamileyo kukuimpruva 

i-turnaround ye-Province in so far as payment kwi-creditors is 

concerned. 

Siphindile kwakhona sileli sebe lezemali sakhupha olwancwadi lubizwa 

ngokuba yi-economic review and outlook ye-Province. Sincedisana nala 

Department ye-Economic Development Environmental Affairs. 

Sisenzela ke into yokokuba sihlale sikwazi ukuxoxa siyi-Province nestakeholders 

zethu in the Province ukuba sifuna inkqubela phambili 

yophuhliso, yoqoqosho ihambe njani na. 

Ndiyafuna ke kodwa Somlomo ukutsho ukuba ukuqala kulo nyaka mali 

siripota ngawo apha ukuzokungena kulo sikuwo imeko yezemali 

kwilizwe lonke kwakunye neliPhondo sikulo imaxongo. Masiyilindele 

ke ngoko into yokokuba ezinye zezinto ebezifanelwe kukuba ziyiexpectations 

zethu mhlawumbi azizokufezekiseka ngoko luhlobo 

sinqwena ngalo. 

Umzekelo xa besiqala lonyaka mali sikuwo siye sanyanzeleka into 

yokokuba sirivayize ii-projections zethu, zezinto ebesicinge into 

yokokuba kumasebe ngamasebe kaRulumente siza kuzenza. Sathi 

ngobona into yokokuba hayi iimeko zezemali azifani noluya hlobo 

besicingele into yokokuba kwakube kukulo ngoku. Ndiyacinga ke siza 

kuyazi lonto ukuba isuka kule meko yezoqoqosho ibikhe yaheshe-heshe.

Ndithi ke ngoko maze singatyhafi ke sithukisele xa sibona amasebe 

kaRulumente engafikeleli ncam ngokweza targets bebezibekile. Size 

siyazi into yokokuba we are confronted with that reality. 

Xa ndiququmbela ke ndiyafuna kwakhona ukubulela ndincoma 

ngomsebenzi esikwazileyo ukuwenza ngokusebenzisana ne-MECs 

kwakunye namagosa kweliya sebe lezemfundo, nakweliya sebe 

lezempilo. Ngoba njengokuba sisazi ngawona masebe la athi afumana 

inxalenye eninzi yemali ye-Province yase-Eastern Cape. Kodwa 

kulapho iingxaki zeliPhondo zande khona ingakumbi kweli cala 

linolawulo iphinde lonto iye kuba nomphumela kwi-delivery yeservices. 

Ezi reports zimbini bezinikwa apha kusasa ngumfanekiso esiwaziyo 

lowa wokokuba siyasilela kwizinto ebesifanele ukuba siyazenza. Kuba 

oko kuqala ulawulo kweziya Departments iminyaka ngeminyaka 

egqithileyo lusibonakalisile ukuba luyafuna ukuqiniswa. Okwesibini, 

eziya Departments zombini azikho funded at the level ebinokwenza 

ukuba zikwazi ukuprovayida the kind of social services abantu bakuthi 

abazilindeleyo. 

Saze savana ke kwi-Executive Council ukuba le Department yakwa- 

Provincial Treasury ngokulidishwa yi-Office of the Premier 

masisebenze neziya Departments zimbini ukwenzela into yokokuba 

noko ngokuhamba kwexesha ziphume kula ngxaki zikuyo. 

Intsebenziswano esiyifumanayo ke kula masebe yiyo le ndiyincomayo. 

Sinalo ithemba lokokuba nakuba zingamanye walamasebe noko 

zingafumananga report ka-Auditor General incumisayo kangako. Kodwa 

kona ngokuhamba kwexesha sinaso isiqinisekiso sokokuba ingathi siya 

kwicala elifanelekileyo. I-systems in the Department of Education and 

Health had began to improve. Ndiqinisekile ke nabaPhathiswa xa 

belapha mhlawumbi baza kufikelela kulonto. 

Njengokuba ndime apha ke Somlomo ndiphakamisa into yokokuba 

mandivunyelwe ndibeke lengxelo yesebe le-Provincial Treasury 

njengengxelo efanelekileyo yonyaka-mali ka-2009/10 financial year. 


DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATION: The hon Speaker, the 

hon Premier, members of the Executive Council, hon members, imembers 

ze-public ngokokushiya-shiyana kwezikhundla zabantu bonke 

abakhoyo apha. Ndithe thaca apha iripoti ka-2009/10 financial year 

ecacisa ngomsebenzi owenziwe yi-Department kula nyaka-mali. 

Ndizakuthi nje qaphu-qaphu kwenye yezinto eziqulathwe apha yile 

report.

Eyokuqala enye yezi-priorities zethu yokuphucula i-quality yeeducation. 

Kukuqinisekisa into yokokuba abantwana ingakumbi aba 

basuka kumakhaya angathathi ntweni anento ayifumanayo esiwa phantsi 

kwempulo xa besezikolweni. Si-impruvile ke apha ukusukela 

kubantwana abebeyi-948 000 sawanyusa amanani ukuza kuthi xhaxhe 

apha ku-2009/10 ayakutsho ku-1,3 million yabantwana abaxhamlayo 

kwi-school nutrition programme. 

Nto leyo ke ephucula nokuhamba oku kwesikolo kutsho nako kwanyuka 

because abantwana baya benethemba esikolweni ingakumbi abo basuka 

kumakhaya angathathi ntweni. Siyiqalile kwakula nyaka-mali into 

yokufaka i-high schools kwi-quintel 1 nakwi-quintel 2 zibe yinxalenye 

ye-school nutrition programme. 

Eyesibini, inyukile imali ye-scholar transport ukusuka ku-R46 million 

kula nyaka-mali ubungaphambili ngo-2008/09 yazakuba yi-R250 

million ku-2009/10. Nto leyo ephucule amanani abantwana 

abaxhamlayo kulento ye-scholar transport, from R77 000 to R150 000. 

Nto leyo ke endicinga ukuba iyasincedisa nasekuqinisekiseni ukuba 

abantwana banayo i-access noxa ingxaki isenkulu njengokuba besikhe 

satsho apha ngaphambili ngelixesha bekuxoxwa iripoti ye-Portfolio 

Committee. 

Eyesithathu ngulo mcimbi unokwenziwa nokusiwa kwencwadi 

ezikolweni ngexesha. Ndicinga ukuba nakulo nyaka uphelileyo itextbooks 

noko siziqhube kakuhle kuba zifike phambi kwexesha. 

Samoshwa ke zezi zinto ze-procurement kwadileya nento yokwenza nestationery 

yafika phaya kuJanuwari kanti bekufanele ukuba ifike 

kwangaphambili. Kodwa kumcimbi we-textbooks zihambe kakuhle 

kakhulu zona. Kodwa ke lomcimbi ngumcimbi esiwuphetheyo 

ukwenzela ukuba kungaphinde kube nobugqwithi-gqwithi, siqiniseke 

ukuba zonke iincwadi zisiwa ngexesha. 

Umcimbi wesine ngulo mcimbi unokwenza ne-skills development, 

nokuphuculwa kwe-capacity yotishala nabasebenzi bakaRulumente. 

Sitreyine abantu abaninzi kakhulu ke apha, sa-afoda ne-bursaries kwi- 

550 students ebezisenza i-B Ed learnership. Kanti ke notishala abaunder 

qualified abayi-3 325 bakwi-programme ngoku yala National 

Professional Diploma in Education kuthiwa yi-NPDE abayiqale 

kwakulo nyaka uphelileyo. So kulo nyaka uphelileyo ngo-2009/10 

zezinye zezinto esizenzileyo. Nokutreyinwa kwaba bantu baqeqesha 

abantwana bethu ko-Grade R nakwi-early childhood development that is 

kwi-pre schools njalo-njalo. Sihambe umgama omkhulu kakhulu phaya. 

Ndiyafuna ukuyikhankanya ke kulento inokwenza no-Grade R ukuba 

amanani ethu abantwana aqala ku-Grade R kuqala phambi kokuba baye 

kutsho ku-Grade 1 anyukile from 136 000 aye kutsho ku-141 000. 

Kodwa abantwana abafunda u-Grade R basengaphantsi kwabantwana 

abenza u-Grade 1 ngokwamanani. So ithethe ukuthi lonto kukho 

abantwana abaqali ku-Grade 1 bengayanga ku-Grade R. Nto leyo ke

ebenza babebuthathaka ke ekuthatheni izinto nemfundo ukubheka 

phambili. Kodwa ke sinomganyana ngoku esiwubonayo ngoku ukuba 

siwuhambile ekuphuculeni imeko. 

Kulo nyaka mali u-2009/10 noxa siyenze ngo-0.4% i-improvement 

kulento ye-results zika-Grade 12 kodwa sicinga ukuba ibe linyathelo in 

the right direction. The efforts ke that we have put in place 

zokutreyinwa kotishala kw-i-content gap, zokutreyinwa ko-principal 

ingakumbi kweziya under performing schools zizinto esizenzileyo phaya 

kuFebruwari nakuMatshi walo nyaka-mali ke esize kuprizenta ngaye 

apha ongu-2009/10. Ukuzama ukuphucula imeko ukwenzela into 

yokokuba si-impruve beyond that 51% ebesimfumene kulo nyaka 

uphelileyo. 

Mandiyitsho Speaker into yokokuba ayisonwabisanga siyi-department 

lento yokokuba siyakusoloko silithemba lokurhuqa emva kulento ka- 

Auditor General. Ingakumbi xa side sangathi sizeziya bhasi zikaRhaziya 

kwakusithiwa yi-abhiyoni yayisithi xa inyuka eqhineni ixakwe liqhina 

ithithize ime ibuye ngomva kunyanzeleke ukuba ukhondaktha akhe 

atsibe phandle aye kufaka ilitye emva kwevili ukwenzela into yokokuba 

ingehli entabeni. Sibhiheyive ingathi ke siyilo-abhiyoni kuba endaweni 

yokokuba sibheke phambili siye sabuya umva sabheka kwi-disclaimer 

kanti besisele sibusuka sikwi-adverse opinion. Ayisihlalanga kamnandi 

ke lonto yiyo ke lento ebesitsho apha uMEC Sogoni into yokokuba 

uTreasury, Education no-Health basebenza as a team ukuza neturnaround 

plans zoku-impruva i-situation phaya. 

Lento beniyibona emaphepheni kusithiwa i-Department ingathi ingawa 

ngobuso nangowuphina umzuzu ndiyafuna ukuyicacisa ukuba 

besisendlala phaya, sendlela kwi-Portfolio Committee into yokokuba 

iingxaki ezibangela i-over expenditure kwi-Department zindawoni. Iweaknesses 

within the systems ze-departments zindawoni. And iturnaround 

plan yokutshintsha lonto ithini. Sasiyitheyibhulishe phaya 

kwi-Portfolio Committee. 

Ivela ke ngoku ingathi yinto abazibhaqeleyo aba bantu bebethetha phaya 

ephepheni. Kanti yinto esuka from the Department to outline into 

yokokuba siyazibona i-weaknesses where they are and nantsi i-plan. Into 

abangayitshongo ke phaya yinto yokuba i-plan yethu yoku-adresa lanto 

ithini na. We have adopted ke that plan in the Executive Council 

sinethemba lento yokokuba if we can implement that turnaround plan to 

the latter izakuyithatha i-Department iyibeke endaweni. 

Siyazikhomitha ke kakhulu ekutshintsheni imeko akukho Department 

ezakuwa ngobuso. Because ukuba uya ezikolweni ufika more than 90% 

of our schools zisemcimbini ngoku sithethayo. Nangeli xesha bekuvalwe 

izikolo izikolo ezininzi beziqhuba. Ndithi ke mandiyichaphazele lonto 

leyo ukwenzela into yokokuba abantu bangaphelelwa lithemba 

ngokungathi akusekho kwa-Department phaya.

Ewe khona zizakubakhona iingxaki zona iingxaki zaphaya zininzi. 

Nabantu xa bethetha ke baye bawajule amagama bayilibale into 

yokokuba kufuneka ithemba lishiyiwe lona ecaleni. [Interjections.] 

Akonakalanganto kakhulu iingxaki zikhona kodwa iingxaki ze- 

Departments zona zisilingene. Enkosi kakhulu Mr Speaker. [Applause.] 


DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR HEALTH: Ndiyabulela kakhulu 

Somlomo. INkulumbuso, amalungu eNdlu yowiso-mthetho, uluntu 

lonke ngokubanzi. Ndiyabulela nam Somlomo indyeba esiyifumanayo 

silisebe lezempilo namhlanje ukubangaba sibe apha phambi kweNdlu 

yowiso-mthetho ingxelo ngonyaka odlulileyo izinto isebe lezempilo 

eliphumeleleyo ukuzenza nelingaphumelelanga ukuzifezekisa. 

Lonyaka sithetha ngawo ngunyaka obunomngeni kakhulu. 

Ubunomngeni kakhulu kuba ibingunyaka nalapho ubuRulumente 

besigaba sesine belifumana ithuba lokuba luqalise nalapho bekukho 

imiba ethile ngokomgaqo-nkqubo ebekufuneka siyenzile. 

Kananjalo unyaka lo ngunyaka nalapho siye sabona iintshukumo 

ngentshukumo kwicala labantu kanti neentshukumo kwicala labasebenzi 

besebe lezempilo ingakumbi oogqirha. Lonyaka udlulileyo sibe 

nentshukumo yoogqirha nalapho bebeye babeka phantsi izixhobo 

bebonisa ukungoneli ngezinto ezithile. Kananjalo besikhawulelana 

neentshukumo zoluntu apho bebebonakalisa ukunganeli ngezinto 

ezithile ekufuneka zisonjululwe lisebe. 

Lengxelo ke siyibeka phambi kweNdlu yowiso-mthetho iyakuqulatha 

izinto esicinga ukuba ngenene sikwazile ukuzenza ngempumelelo kanti 

nezinto esicinga ukuba sibuye nganeno kuzo nesisenoxanduva lokuba 

sisebenze ukuba sizifezekise. 

Amagqaba-ntshintshi ndingathi kunyaka lo sigqithayo kuwo sikwazile 

ukubangaba ngokubhekiselele ekukhuseleni abantwana kusuleleko 

kungenjalo ukuthintela izifo ngezifo immunization ebantwaneni 

abancinci. Sikwazile ukubanga i-coverage siyenyuse nalapho kumnyaka 

ongaphambili besikunyinge wamakhulu asibhozo anesithathu e-percent 

(83%) ukuthintela abantwana kwizifo ngezifo. Kodwa kunyaka olandele 

lowo lo sithetha ngawo sikwazile ukuyinyusa la-coverage yaya 

ngaphezulu kumashumi alithoba ekhulwini nesisajonge ukubangaba 

kufuneka senze bhetele nakulo unyaka siya kuwo. 

Ukanti ukulwisana nesifo uGawulayo ingakumbi lankqubo ibizwa iprevention 

of mother to child transmission singatsho ukubangaba 

amanani oomama nabantwana babo esikwazileyo ukuba sibathintele 

onyukile kakhulu nanjengokuba amaziko okunikeza nge-Anti Retroviral 

Drugs nawo siwonyusile. Yenza ke into yokokuba abantu abakwazileyo 

ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kula programme amanani onyuke ngomyinge

wamawaka angamashumi amabini anesithandathu (26 000) ngaphezu 

komyinge ebesizinike wona. 

Ingxelo yethu iyabonisa ukuba baninzi abantu abathi bathathe inxaxheba 

kumaziko ethu ezempilo, primary health care facilities. Kananjalo kulo 

nyaka singatsho ukuba songenzile kwinani le clinics ebezikho ishumi 

elinethoba le-clinics ezintsha ezithe nazo zenza into yokokuba abantu 

bafikelele kwinkonzo ezandileyo. Njengokuba besine-world cup kulo 

nyaka kukho izinto ebekufuneka sizenzile. Singatsho ukubangaba we 

have a well class accident and emergency unit esikwazileyo ukuyakha 

eyakuhlala iyi-legacy of the 2010 esiya kuhlala siyibuka. [Applause.] 

Ukanti nangaphaya eKomani singatsho ukuba phaya kula Frontier 

Regional Hospital sikwazile ukuba sibe nenkonzo ezandisiweyo 

ngokwezinto ezenziweyo, the eye unit, intensive care unit,high care unit, 

ne-unit yokujongana nabantu abatshileyo kwakunye nezinye izinto 

esizenzileyo phaya ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba inkonzo abantu 

abakwazi ukufikelela kuyo ikumgangatho noko ongcomekayo. 

Singatsho naphaya kuMalizo Mpehle Memorial Hospital ukubangaba 

amaziko okuhlala abantu professionals, oogqirha nabanye sikwazile 

ukuwenza. 

Kodwa zonke ezi zinto sizenzileyo sizenza kukho omnye umqela 

wemingeni ekusafuneka siyisombulule. Ndingatsho nje ukubanga 

sililizwe nje jikelele sijongene nomngeni owodwa ingakumbi 

kwicandelo lezempilo apho sakube singafikanga nje kumvo kungenjalo 

i-percent enye ukuba ubani uthelekisa uluntu lwehlabathi jikelele we are 

only point seven percent to a global population. Kodwa njengelizwe eli 

lethu isifo sikaGawulayo siqulethe 17% of the global burden of 

HIV/AIDS ifumaneka apha kuthi. 

Kananjalo singeyiyo nje ne-1% of the global population we have apha 

kwilizwe lethu 5% of the global burden of TB. Ithethe ke ukuthi isifo 

se-TB noGawulayo sinomngeni kakhulu njengelizwe nanjengePhondo. 

Ukanti ungatsho ukubangaba sijongene kwakunye nenye imfazwe 

yokuthintela ukusweleka kwabantwana phambi kweminyaka emihlanu 

emveni kokuba bevelile. Nokuthintela oomama ukubangaba 

bangasweleki xa besenza umsebenzi omkhulu kakhulu wokuchumisa 

isizwe …..[Interjections.] …baze bathi xa bekulomsebenzi baphulukane 

nobomi babo. 

Ezinye izinto zizifo ezinokuthinteleka non commucable diseases 

kwakunye neengozi nokonzakala kwabantu. Ezo zinto xa zidibene 

zibanga ukuba iinkonzo zezempilo zibenomngeni kuba kufuneka 

sifikelele kwezo zinto zonke ngokulingana. Ngexesha apho uhlahlo 

lwabiwo-mali oluza kwisebe lezempilo lungonyuki ngendlela ekonyuka 

ngazo izinto ezingumngeni kwisebe lezempilo. 

Siphinde kunyaka odlulileyo sanomngeni kakhulu ngokubhekiselele 

kwibhajethi. Sachitha ngaphezu kokuba besinikiwe ngenxa yezinto

ebekufuneka zenziwe ezinye zazo endingabalula i-OSD. Inkqubo 

nalapho bekujongwe ekubeni makuphuculwe iimeko zokuphangela 

kogqirha kwakunye nabanye abantu abanikeza iinkonzo ezibalulekileyo 

kwisebe lezempilo. 

Kananjalo sibe nomngeni apha ngenkqubo ebibizwa Human Resources 

Operational Project Team (HROPT). Nalapho kufuneke ukuba senze 

iintlawulo, nalapho besibunyanzeleka kodwa kungekho malungiselelo 

afanelekileyo enziweyo ukwenza lonto. Njengoko ebetshilo ugxa wam 

ngaphambili apha nathi silelinye isebe nalapho umba lo wokuphatheka 

kakuhle kweze zimali nokuphononongwa kwazo kusoloko 

kufunyaniswa ukuba amakhwiniba akhona. 

Sikunye ke kwinkqubo yokusebenza ekubeni siphelise izinto ezibangela 

ukuba sisoloko sifumana iingxelo ezingentlanga ngumphicothi zincwadi 

zikaRulumente, the Auditor General. 

Sikwazile kambe ukufikelela kwezinye izinto, kodwa 

ndizakubamfutshane kakhulu ngenxa yexesha ingxelo leya iziqulethe 

zonke ezo zinto. Singatsho nokokuba umyalelo ebesiwunikiwe 

wokuqinisekisa into yokokuba senza ukuba iinkonzo zempilo 

zifumaneke kubantu ngendlela encomekayo, siphethe lomalungiselelo. 

Sizamile kunyaka ophelileyo apho siwe khona nganeno sithabathisa 

khona ukubheka phambili kulo nyaka umtsha. 

Mandithathe ithuba ndibulele kakhulu amalungu ekomiti, ndibulele 

amagosa kaRulumente. Zikhona izinto ekusafuneka sibulelane ngazo 

ngendlela kodwa ke akhona enza kakuhle nesimele ukubangaba 

siwancome, sibulele kwakhulu. Izinto esijongene nazo sicinga ukuba 

sisemandleni okuzeyisa. Enkosi kakhulu. Ingxelo ndiyibekile phambi 

kweNdlu. [Applause.] 

INTRODUCTION OF ANNUAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENT 

OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR HUMAN SETTLEMENTS: Somlomo 

obekekileyo namalungu onke eNdlu yowiso-mthetho, iNkulumbuso, 

namalungu e-Executive Council mandinibulise, iiNkokheli zemveli 

noluntu lonke emva kwemini nje. 

Ndivumele Somlomo ndithi theca phambi kwaleNdlu yowiso-mthetho 

ingxelo yonyaka yesebe lokuhlaliswa koluntu. 

Somlomo obekekileyo mandiqale ngelithi sileli sebe sizingomba isifuba 

ngokuba siye sathi sanyusa iikawusi kulo nyaka-mali esithetha ngawo. 

Ngokuthi inkcitho ebikade kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo ingakwazi 

ukuba isebe liyisebenzise liyigqibe imali. Sithi lena ingxelo yalo nyaka 

siripota ngayo siyisebenzisile sayigqiba imali. Kangangokuba 

ibibonakala ne-trend yokuchithwa kwemali ukuba iyinyuka inyanga 

nenyanga ukuya kuthi xhaxhe phaya kuSeptemba. Ize ibe buhla ukuya

kutsho ukuphela konyaka-mali ngenjongo yokuba singathi kuba sileqa 

ukuba kwiminyaka edlulileyo besingachithi ngokwaneleyo side sichithe 

ngokudlulisekileyo. 

Kananjalo ndiyafuna ukuthi kuleNdlu kwi-targets esizibekele zona 

zokuthi amagaqa ezindlu ebesizakuwakha siwakhile. Kananjalo 

saqinisekisa ukuba abantu bahlala kwizindlu eziphucukileyo. 

[Interjections.] Ikwayinyani engenachaphaza yona into yokuba ngenxa 

ye-projecct ebezithi kumathuba angaphambili zi-apruvwe zingekabiready. 

Zikwaninzi kwanezo ziblokileyo ingakumbi kwindawo ezifana 

neNkonkobe neNxuba. Ngoba ii-projects ubukhulu becala bezithe zaapruvwa 

zingekabiredi. Isebe ke linenkqubo yokugxabha-gxabhisa 

ukuthi ezo bezisablokiweyo i-projects zikwazi ukukhululwa 

ngokukhawuleza. 

Njengokuba siyazi ukuba sinesebe elitsha le-Rural Development eli sebe 

lozinziso loluntu lithi lifake isandla nalo kuphuhliso lwelali ngokuba liapruve 

ipolisi ejongene nokwakhiwa kwezindlu ezilalini. Kananjalo 

izinga linyuke lade lagqithisa kwizindlu ebesithe siza kuzakha 

kwimimandla yasezilalini ingakumbi kwi-district ye-OR Tambo, Joe 

Gqabi, Alfred Ndzo neAmathole. Ngokuba zezona ubukhulu becala 

zinelali. 

Kunomzekelo ke we-project ecacileyo yase-Elliotdale apho sithe 

sagqogana ne-Development Bank yase-Southern Africa ngenjongo 

zokuba ibeyi-implementing agent kulo project. Sithe saqeqesha 

kananjalo kula project yaseNgangelizwe abantu bokuba bakhe izindlu 

ngohlobo olutsha esilubiza ngokuba yi-alternative technology. Kuba 

siyazi ukuba ngesitena nodaka kuphela asingekhe sikwazi 

ukukhawulezisa siyigqibe i-backlog esinayo silisebe. 

Yiyo lonto kwakhona kwaphaya eNgangelizwe sizakubane-alternative 

technology harb, sizakuba nentlobo ngentlobo ezahlukileyo zealternative 

technology ukwenzela ukuba abantu bakhethe ezinye izindlu 

ezingezizo ezi zesitena nodaka. 

Siziqeqeshile kanjalo i-emerging contractors ingakumbi ezo besi 

zakuzisebenzisa ngokukhawuleza. Ezingamashumi amabini anesihlanu 

sazinika imisebenzi kumasipala waseMakana. Itsho ke lonto ibonise 

ukuba ayisingabo kuphela abo bebekade bezizinhanha ezingawothiyo 

umlilo abazakuthi baxhamle kulwakhiwo lwezindlu kweli sebe. 

I-subsidies zabo bantu esibabiza ngoko kuba bona bebekade besilela 

ekufezekisweni kwemfuno zabo sithe sazinyusa ukuzipasisa. 

Kangangokuba abantu abatsha bona siqinisekile ukuba i-488 subsidies 

siyayiphumeza ezomama zibeyi-2 156 kuze i-military veterans zibeyi- 

425. Yiyo lonto nayizolo besinikezela izindlu kwi-military veterans 

eziyi-44. Kananjalo sele sikwazile noku-identifaya i-sites zezinye imilitary 

veterans eziyi-40 kumasipala waseLukhanji.

Siyayazi okokuba kukho abantu abahlala phandle ngoku sithethayo 

kungekho projects ezikhoyo kulo ndawo. Yiyo lonto silisebe siye 

saqinisekisa ukuba kwinkqubo esiyibiza ngoba kukunikezwa 

ngokukhawuleza izindlu kwabo bantu sithi abathathi ntweni. Sakwazi 

ukunikeza abo bantu kungekho zi-projects kodwa ngoba iinkokheli 

zasekuhlaleni nokuba zi-ward councilors, nokuba ngamalungu 

ePalamente, nokuba zinkokheli zenkonzo, nokuba zinkokheli zemveli 

zithe zababona zazisa isimo sabo ngaphambili sibanike izindlu 

ngokukhawuleza. Sinemizekelo ke yotata uDyantyisi, omama uNojikile 

nabanye abaninzi abathi kuba bebehlala phandle singathi sakukhe 

silinde kude kubekhona ii-projects. 

Siyafuna ke ukuthi siyayazi ukuba kukho iindawo ezithwaxwa yidisaster 

izindlu zabantu zimke kungekho mntu ubeplene lonto. Yilonto 

sine-temporal shelters ukwenzela ukuba xa sifumene ingxelo 

ngomasipala ongumsebenzi wakhe ukukhodineyitha into ye-disaster 

management siqinisekise abo bantu ukuba sibanika izindlu 

ngokukhawuleza. 

Siyayazi ukuba kwindawo ezininzi kunezindlu ezazakhiwe phambi ko- 

1994 ukuya kutsho ngo-2002 ezi sithi silisebe zizirekthifaye. 

Ayingomsebenzi wethu ke ukuthi indlu ibiyakhiwe siphinde siyakhe 

kodwa kuba abo bantu bengenatyala siyazirekthifaya ezo zindlu. Sithe 

ke sadlula nakumlinganiselo ebesiwubekele zona kwi-rectification yepre 

1994 and post 1994 stock. 

Ndiyafuna ke ukuthi Somlomo siyayazi ukuba sisenemiceli-mingeni 

sileli sebe eminye yayo kukungaplani ngokungqameneyo nomasipala 

yenze lonto umasipala akhombe i-project kanti umhlaba uphantsi 

kobango. Okanye umasipala akhombe i-project kanti akukho bulk 

infrustracture. Yenza lonto ke i-project ibhloke ingekaqali nokuqala. 

Yiyo lonto kule multi-year planning yethu siqinisekisa ukuba sihlala 

kunye nomasipala. Naxa si-apruva ezi-project size-apruvileyo eziyi-90 

ngaphezu kwe-50 ebiyi-target yethu. Siyi-apruva kuba siqinisekile 

ukuba ukhona umhlaba, ikhona i-infrastructure, zikhona ii-beneficiaries. 

Ngoba kuyingxaki uku-apruva i-project engena-beneficiaries lonto 

ikhokelela ekubeni izindlu ezithi zakhiwe zingabinabaninizo. Zimbini 

izinto ezinokwenzeka kukuba zivandalayizwe okanye kungene abo 

bebengenalungelo nababengafanelekanga ukuba bangenile kuzo. 

Sidlulile ke kweso simo soku-apruva i-projects ezingayaziyo imeko 

yazo. 

Ndivumele ke Somlomo ndithi thaca kuleNdlu ingxelo yonyaka-mali 

yesebe lozinziso yoluntu ngokwemiqathango esemthethweni. 

Ndiyabulela kakhulu. [Applause.]

kwezinye zezinto ebelizibekele ukuba liza kuzenza laqinisekisa ukuba 

lihamba ngesantya ekuthini lincedise omasipala ukuba iingxelo 

zophicotho zincwadi zibe ziphucukile. Kananjalo lizinike umgomo 

wokokuba kunezinto ezizakuthi ziziqwalasele ngakumbi enye yazo 

lulawulo, enye yazo ziinkonzo eziziseko, enye yazo luququzelo 

noqhakamshelo lonxibelelwano, eyokugqibela kukuqinisekisa ukuba 

imo yezemveli ibakumgangatho onguwo. 

Zikhona ke izinto sile lisebe esithi sizidle, sizingce, sizingombe izifuba 

ngazo. Sithe sabajonga sabaqwalasela omasipala abayi-45 saqinisekisa 

ukuba sizisa ivili lenguqu kubo. Kananjalo ngoOktobha ka-2009 isebe 

lithe laphehlelela iphulo lophicotho zincwadi olucocekileyo. Lonto itsho 

yenza kwakho umahluko ekuphucukeni kwengxelo ka-Auditor General. 

Iqonga elidibanisa ooMeya bomasipala noMphathiswa wesebe ihlala 

rhoqo kananjalo iba neziphumo ezizizo ezitsho zenze kubekhona noko 

uzinzo oluncomekayo komasipala abakhoyo kweliPhondo. 

Komasipala abayi-44 lithe lakwazi isebe ukuqinisekisa ukuba i-annual 

performance reports zibakhona ngexesha elililo. Ngokungenelela 

kwesebe ngo-Section 154 kwaba masipala balandelayo; iSakhisizwe

OR Tambo, Matatiele ese-Alfred Ndzo, iGreat Kei, iBuffalo City, 

neNxuba yenza lonto kubekhona umqela obonakalayo notshintsho 

olukhoyo kwabaya masipala. 

Kwakhona ukungenelela ngo-Section 139(1)(b) kumasipala wase-Alfred 

Ndzo eKoekama naseSundays River noko kutsho kubekhona umahluko 

kwindlela abasebenza ngayo aba masipala ekuziseni iinkonzo eluntwini. 

Elisebe liqinisekisile ukuba lime ngeenyawo zombini ukulungiselela 

ulonyulo oluzayo luka-2011 ngokuthi ukucandwa kwemida ngokutsha 

ye-wards kube kusemgaqweni njengokuba sithetha. Nokwazi ngqo 

ukuba mangaphi amanani amakhawunsila kumasipala nomasipala 

kwaba masipala beliPhondo. 

Ngokuqhogana nequmrhu loqeqesho elisebe lithe laqeqesha i-Ward 

Committees eziyi-2 285. Omasipala abayi-42 bathe bazizisa 

ngokungekho madolo anzima iingxelo zokusebenza kwabo. Bonke 

oomasipala bobayi-45 isicwangciso-nkqubo esihlangeneyo sophuhliso 

basizisile esebeni.

Umasipala wengingqi we-OR Tambo ne-Joe Gqabi bathe bafumana 

isixa-mali esilinganayo ukwenzela ukuba uphuhliso oluhlangeneyo 

oluqala emawadini kwenziwe isibonelo ngabo abo masipala. I- 

Provincial Disaster Management Centre ikhona kwaye iyasebenza 

ePhondweni. Zontandathu ii-district municipalities zincedisiwe ngokuthi 

zithunyelelwe abaxhasi kwezoqoqosho lwasekuhlaleni. 

Zininzi ke izinto elisebe elinokuthi lizidle ngazo enye yazo 

kukuqinisekisa ukuba imirholo yenkosana iyenyuswa. Kananjalo 

iiKumkani zithe zathengelwa amahashe....[Interjections.] …kwaye nalo

Mr Speaker, ezokhulo loqoqosho nophuhliso loluntu kufuneka into 

yokokuba zibandakanye ukuphuculwa kobomi babantu jikelele. Neli 

sebe lezemisebenzi yoluntu lijongene ncakasana lincedisana namanye 

amasebe ekubeni imisebenzi yoluntu mayibonakale phaya apho abantu 

bahlala khona. 

Xa kuziwa kumcimbi wokunikezelwa ngendawo zokuhlala kumasebe 

azi-client departments zethu. Asenzanga ngokwaneleyo ngenxa 

yokushokoxeka kwezimali. Kodwa ke silisebe siyahlenga-hlengisa into 

yokokuba kwizakhiwo ezikhoyo zikaRulumente xa ngaba ziza 

kunikezelwa eluntwini kakuqale kujonge omasipala kuqala kuba 

exesheni elininzi omasipala ngabona bakufutshane nokunikezela 

iinkonzo ebantwini. Kwaye ke kufuneka xa kudisipozwa off i-property 

kaRulumente kuqalwe ngabo khonukuze banikwe ingxenye yezi 

zakhiwo bakwazi ukuphuhlisa nokusondeza iinkonzo ebantwini. 

Kwandule ke ukulandelwa ngabantu bakowethu ingakumbi iimpula 

zikalujaca. 

Ayilohlazo ke elo Somlomo singumbutho we-African National Congress 

sithunyiwe kwelo kuba xa oluhlenga-hlengiso lusenziwa masikhe siqale 

sijonge abantu bakowethu abanezakhono zento yokokuba bakwazi ukuowuna 

nabo i-properties ezizakukwazi into yokokuba zibadivelophe. 

Unxibelelwano Mr Speaker nonokontraka luhle kakhulu kunye nawo 

onke amahlakani ethu unxibelelwano luyancomeka sele umninzi 

umgama esiwuhambileyo, ingxelo le izakuthetha ngalonto. Owona 

mgomo besiphezu kwawo kulo nyaka-mali siripota ngawo yinto 

yokokuba masophule udonga olukhoyo khonukuze indlala nentswelophuhliso 

ikhawuleze. 

Siyazingca ke Mr Speaker sileli sebe kuba siyakwazi ukunika ingxelo 

njengokuba singomasitandi kweliPhondo ngelithi kulo nyaka ophambi 

kwalo besingakwazanga ukuthi thaca into yokokuba zingaphina iproperties 

eziphaya kwi-PLSLDC for vesting. Sima ngeqhayiya ukuthi 

namhlanje amawaka asibhozo anesithathu zi-properties ezo esithe thaca 

kwi-PLSLDC for into yokokuba zikwazi ukuvestwa. Azakukhumbula

amalungu kuba ayekhe asibuza lombuzo into yokokuba kuxa sindawo 

nina. 

Okwesibini, sikwazile into yokokuba masenze i-survey of 192 properties 

against the target of 40. Siyigqibile ke nophando ebesilenza ngezakhiwo 

zikaRhulumente, uphando lwe-properties esizigqibileyo ukulenza ukuba 

eneneni zezaloRulumente ngamawaka mane ikhulu namashumi 

amahlanu anesithathu (4 153) 

Sikwazile ke nokukhephutsharisha ezinye i-properties eziyi-7 018. Ithi 

ke lonto Mr Speaker njengoko iNdlu yowiso-mthetho kwakunye ne- 

Portfolio Committee le isi-ovasayithayo ibiye yaziphakamisa ezi zinto 

ukuba isebe maliye kuzijonga. Yiyo lento sithi thaca lengxelo.

INTRODUCTION OF ANNUAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF 

TRANSPORT, AND MAYIBUYE BUS CORPORATION 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVINCIAL SAFETY, LIAISON 

AND TRANSPORT: Thank you hon Speaker, hon Premier, hon 

members of the Executive and all hon MPLs present here, the Mayor of 

Nkonkobe municipality, the community of Alice, government officials 

from the various government departments, distinguish guests, ladies and 

gentlemen. 

The 2009/10 financial year has been a challenging period for the Eastern 

Cape Department of Transport. We had to manage the transfer of staff 

from the Department of Roads and Transport to the new Department of 

Road and Public Works which so close to 2 000 leaving the Department 

and the end of 2009/10 financial year.

This period was also characterized by some achievements which saw the 

realization of one of the important priorities which is to build a 

development state and to improve the public services. In that regard we 

have introduced the service delivery excellence programme which is 

known as the SDPE programme. And using this programme the 

Department determined its service delivery index. 

In November 2009 the Department won the centre for public service 

innovation award or innovation enhancement of internal systmes within 

Government. The CPSI Award was awarded to the Department by the 

National Minister for public service and administration. 

We continue to re-instill internal discipline through ensuring that all 

staff members are accountable through implementing the performance 

management and development system in an effort to enhance the 

performance of our employees. 

The Department continues to sharpen and review the Supply Chain 

Management Protocols inline with Government prescripts to focus on 

the improvement and benefit of SMMEs in our Province. As part of 

implementing our 5 year communication strategy the 2009/10 financial 

year saw a great improvement in the action between the Department, its 

stakeholders and the communities at large through the introduction of 

our quarterly exhibition programme which brought our services closer to 

the people especially in the rural areas. 

Mr Speaker the member is disturbing I am not sure what she is saying 

while I am speaking. [Interjections.] I would like to understand what 

she says. 

Through this initiative we opened up the Department for public relations 

intermency where the people of the province in the various sectors. This 

exercise has further help to market our customer care services centre and 

contributed in the increase of received calls which increase to more than 

20 000 enquiries. And I would like to remind the House of our toll free 

number which is 088644644. We have made indelible advances with 

regards to the promotion of the constitutional rights of people with 

disabilities and have held workshops on anti-child trafficking and road 

safety. The promotion of sign language and disability friendly public 

transport systems. 

During the year under review we have been able to enhanced strategic 

partnership with institutions of higher learning. And have enrolled 20 

unemployed matriculants in partnership with the North West University 

in areas of road safety. And we have also enrolled 40 in partnership with 

the University of Fort Hare in Human Resource Management. 

We granted best performing students with excellent marks in maths and 

science with bursaries in transportation related studies which included

30 for the Eastern Cape youth in areas such as civil engineering, railway 

engineering, freightt logistic, human resource management and 

information technology. And 15 for internal staff to improve their 

capacity. 

Mr Speaker, in the 2009/10 financial year we were able to receive an 

unqualified audit report, which is the first since the 2004/05 financial 

year. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all officials of 

the Eastern Cape Department of Transport for this achievement. Indeed 

we are gradually turning the corner in restoring internal financial 

stability. The remaining challenge is to sustain what we have managed 

to achieve - as per instruction from our Premier, the hon Kiviet which is 

to ensure that we keen continue to have clean audits and nothing less. 

In terms of public transport this period mark the start of phase 1 of the 

Mthatha airport upgrade and an efford to improve its capacity use and 

management of the airport as a viable economic asset as at value to local 

economic development especially tourism. Our award winning Kei Rail 

Project, and the Kei Rail won the award for the best rail passenger 

service in the whole of Africa which was awarded to the Department in 

June 2010 continues to grow from strength to strength as a result the 

Department was granted a railway safety permit by the Railway Safety 

Regulator for 3 years from 2009 to 2012. There was continuous growth 

in the passenger numbers due to the introduction of the new daily 

service between Mthatha and Amabhele. 

A total of 370 employment opportunities were created by the project and 

this is a mixed of skilled and unskilled labour. This includes activities of 

track maintenance, train operation, train traffic management and other 

general maintenance of coaches and station buildings. Despite our 

limited budget we have been able to deliver in ensuring that Mayibuye 

Transport Corporation is operational although we have to admit that 

there is a problem of underfunding for this transport corporation. 

I would just like to add at this stage hon Speaker a request to the 

members of the NCOP that are present in this sitting. We have raised 

during the Ministers speech to the NCOP the issue of subsidization for 

both the Mayibuye Transport Corporation and VAB350 transport 

services, because there is no subsidization from the National 

Government in relation to these passenger service operators. And we 

are not sure why this is happening. We have made several attempts to 

engage the National Department on this matter. Because we feel that it is 

not fair for them to give subsidies to Algoa Bus Company in the Metro 

and not to the other two bus companies which are in the rural areas of 

our Province. So we would just like to request that the delegates from 

the NCOP should really engage at a National level on these issues. 

We provide subsidy for bus passenge services in the Eastern part of the 

Province. The Bhisho airport training programme continues. Non 

moisturize transportation is affectively promoted. More youth and

women are involved in the transport sector through various innovated 

programmes. And we promote the expanded Public Works programme 

principles in all our projects. 

Our maritime unit conducted career awareness campaign in 48 

secondary schools in the province and the target was Grade 12 learners. 

And now we have extended the campaign to reach 60 secondary schools 

targeting Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners. Maritime safety awareness 

campaigns were held in 6 municipalities along the coast. In the year 

under review we were able to ensure that the Algoa Bus Company form 

part of the new Nelson Mandela integrated public transport system, 

which includes the taxi industry that registered 5 primary co-ops which 

can be contracted for operations under the integrated public transport 

system. 

Mayibuye Transport Corporation transported 1.8 to 8 million passengers 

and the majority of those passengers are from our rural areas. With 

relation to the 2010 FIFA World Cup as a Department of Transport we 

are proud of our contribution to the success of the 2010 FIFA Soccer 

World Cup where we were mandated to ensure that through out 2010 

transport master plan we reduce through traffic control improve road 

conditions and promote alternative roads. Promote and facilitate the use 

of public transport and improve safety of all commuters. And I am 

proud to report that we were able to achieve all of the above mentioned 

areas of responsibility. 

In terms of traffic management Mr Speaker our traffic officers continue 

to work tirelessly on our roads. We salute them. A total of 454 traffic 

officers went through refresher courses in an efford to enhance their 

performance. The Department was able to take its traffic administration 

and licencing services closer to the people to 101 additional outlakes in 

various posts offices which include 31 in the Nelson Mandela Metro 

Municipality. 25 in Buffalo City, 5 in the King Sabatha Dalindyebo 

Municipality and a further 40 outlets were road out in the middle area of 

the Province. 

The help desk function was devolved to the district level as a service 

delivery effort to speed up applications for duplicate registrations 

certificates, personalize and specific registration numbers and revenue 

collection which includes outstanding licence fees has been 

implemented in 3 of the 6 districts. 

In an effort to inculcate a culture of road safety it is pleasing to report 

that 38 500 learners were reached through the scholar projects and 

programmes. The school debate project reach 625 learners and 125 

schools participated. Through this project learners were exposed and 

trained on road safety topics which empowered them with knowledge 

and skills that will make them safe for road users.

As part of our response to the challenge of skill development our learner 

driver education project has reached 337 Grade 11 and 12 learners from 

33 schools around the Eastern Cape and resulted in the successful 

acquisition of learners licences by 37 learners from Cacadu, Chris Hani 

and the OR Districts and code 10 drivers licenses for 6 learners from the 

Chris Hani District in Cala. 

This project was mainly concentrated in the disadvantage communities 

in order to facilitate the N3 into the job market arrest the challenge of 

45% of road accidents which involved young people between the ages of 

16 and 25 years. And effectively reduce the 80% of road accidents 

which are caused by lack of road safety knowledge the lack of driving 

skills, negative attitudes and reckless behavior. 

Through this project learners learn the rules of the road based on the 

K53 system of vehicle control. Through our driver education 

programme and training we were able to reach 3 101 taxi operators and 

71 drivers were reached through theory test K53 and skill test in 

conjunction with Toyota advanced driving. 

Mr Lunga Tilolo who was a taxi driver represented our Province at the 

National competition in Mpumalanga in November 2009. He became 

the overall winner and was rewarded with a Toyota Quantum powered 

by Sesifikile. Today Mr Tilolo owns a taxi - thus becoming self 

employed. 

In terms of the community-based transportation programme hon 

Speaker our community based transportation programme continue to 

help the Department to create jos and alleviate poverty through strategic 

interventions which enables us to respond promptly to the priority of 

building social and economic infrastructure. As a result in the year 

under review which is 2009/10 we were able to create 21 451 work 

opportunities especially for the poorest of the poor in our Province. 

This performance hon Speaker put the Department in the lead nationally 

in jobs created through the EPWP in the 2009/10 financial year. We also 

train 74 emerging contractors especially women and youth contractors 

on contract management, project management, business skills and 

tendering processes. The target set for 2009/10 was 30. Hon Speaker this 

means that our young women and contractors are better and youth are 

better placed to take advantage of economic opportunity available in the 

transportation and civil contraction sector. 

We also trained 5 218 household contractors in life and technical skills 

against the set target of 4 000. What this means hon Speaker is that our 

people in the rural areas have been capacitated with skills that can make 

them employable elsewhere. It was during this period that the 

community based transportation programme was recognized by the 

National Department of Public Works by being the recipient of the 

COMOSO award for developing an implementing the best innovative

project in using labour intensive methods in the entire country. And of 

course the economic infrastructure has now moved over to the 

Department of Roads and Public Works under MEC Majodina. 

In conclusion, Mr Speaker I present the Annual Report of the 

Department of Transport and the Mayibuye Transport Corporation. I 

thank you. [Applause.] 


DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY AND LIAISON 

The MEC RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY AND LIAISON: Thank you 

hon Speaker. Hon Speaker the Department on Safety and Liaison 

enjoyed an exciting 2009/10 financial year where the Department 

performed optimally despite our limited budget. It was a year of great 

planning and strategic interventions which prepare us to launch the 

world biggest event that has ever reach shows of the African continent 

that being the 2010 World Cup. 

The core business of our Department is community safety and the 

Department remains the oversight of police performance and service 

delivery. The Department has therefore continued and intensified its 

vigorous oversight by increasing the number for accountability meetings 

with the South African Police Service. This was complemented by 

strengthening the oversight capacity of our community police forums by 

facilitating the smooth running and training of CPF members. 

The year under review started off with the beginning of the fourth 

democratic elections in 2009. The election period ushered in a new era 

and the intensification of the fight against crime was identified as one of 

the key priorities. 

We further monitored the phasing out of the directorate of special 

operations which was the Scorpions and introduce the directorate of 

priority crimes which is widely known as the Hawks. This unit is now 

well established in the Eastern Cape Province. Also during the 2009 

financial year on the 22 January 2010 the tactical response team was 

launch in Port Elizabeth to assist with crime prevention mostly the 

Northern areas which deals with gangsters crime related issues. 

Hon Speaker we are confident that in order to intensify the fight against 

crime and corruption the South African Police Services will be 

strategically strengthened with a special units in its ranks. 

Allegations of signs of human trafficking in the Province will be dealt 

with effectively through the SWIFT intervention of these units and the 

Department has intensified its awareness campaigns to sensitize 

particularly young school going learners about this international crime 

trend that is reaching our shows throughout transitional and international 

interaction such as sport, culture and tourism.

Preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup were perfected by the 

continuous rehearsing and dry rans that were held in Nelson Mandela 

Bay, stadium and this culminated in 2010 safety and security submit 

where the readiness of all role players and stakeholders were evaluated. 

But community involvement is key in preparing the province to deal 

with the influx of these tourists. Therefore we boosted the training of 

community police forum members as safety patrollers for all the 

government sponsored public viewing areas. 

We also had a privilege to be the first province to open a new stadium 

to the international rugby match between the British Lions and the 

Southern Kings. The launching of [Inaudible.] committees continued 

throughout the province and this form part of the broader community 

mobilization of the Department to improve the quality of life of the 

population of the Province. A particular focus was on taking services to 

rural communities were services were most needed yet less accessible. 

Various activities focusing on the domestic violence, rape and violent 

crime were held and many of these events were facilitated by the 

Department in partnership with the South African Police Service, the 

Department of Education and the Department of Social Development. 

These sister Departments are closest to the most vulnerable in our 

society namely women and children and it is therefore of paramount 

importance to work closely with those who are responsible for 

accommodating our children in schools and treat our women a day 

hospitals and clinics. 

In addition to the above activities the Department further recorded the 

following achievements. 41 police accountability meetings were 

convened. Service delivery evaluation said 94 police stations, the 

assessment of SAPS supply chain, management processes, we held a 

provincial crime prevention strategy, strategic planning session, 

coordinated the development of the Eastern Cape Justice Crime 

Prevention and Security Cluster. 91 crime awareness programmes held 

throughout the province. We supported the 2010 World Cup planning 

initiatives. Supported 23 community safey forums within local 

municipalities and supported 43 safer school committees. 

In terms of financial management hon Speaker I would like to announce 

that once more the Department of Safety and Liaison has managed to 

secure an unqualified audit report for the seventh concercative year. 

I would like to attribute this achievement to our affective management 

systems and the commitment by all our staff to ensure compliance to 

procedures and policies and regulations without compromising service 

delivery to the people of the Eastern Cape.

We will continue to ensure that the operations of our Department are 

effectively supported by sound management systems. And strive to 

improve our financial management systems through effective and 

efficient document management, good supply chain management 

practices. 

Hon Speaker, I would like to thank the staff of the Department of Safety 

and Liaison for all the efford they have put in to making this one of the 

most memoriable financial years the history of the Department. Allow 

me to present the Annual Report of the Department of Safety and 

Liaison for the 2009/10 financial year. 

I thank you. [Applause.]

oomama bethu abahlohla iintsimbi, ootatat bethu abaxonxayo wonke 

umntu owenza umsebenzi wezandla aye eBhayi. Kuba ibidibana ne- 

National Arts Festival. So sathi abangayanga eBhayi baza kungena kwi- 

National Arts Festival.

Ingxelo esiyifumeneyo hon Speaker bebesitsho besithi lonyaka 

awukhange ufane neminye iminyaka ubunomehluko. [Applause.] 

Sizamile into yokokuba zibekhona izinto ezishiyekayo kuthi eziya kuba 

lilifa lethu sele u-2010 wedlula. Into ke leyo esiyibone sonke engu-Fly 

the Flag into ebonisa into yokokuba siyazingca ngobuntu bethu 

boMzantsi Afrika. 

Ukuflaya iflegi ke ayikokuphakamisa yona kuphela kodwa kuchaza 

indlela oziphatha ngayo, indlela owenza ngayo izinto, indlela owamkela 

ngayo abantu. Lonto xa usenza yona uphakamisa iflegi yoMzantsi 

Afrika. Yenye yezinto esizifumeneyo ezo. 

Sisaqhuba nephulo uPremier alibone into yokokuba lifanele ukuba 

khona lokuba abantu bayazi i-National Anthem, uMhobe Wesizwe. 

Uculwe ngendlela efanelekileyo, unikwe imbeko efanelekileyo. 

Sithethile notate uQwase into yokokuba mayiqale esikolweni lento 

ukwenzela ukuba abantwana bakhule nayo. Bawuhloniphe uMhobe, 

bayihloniphe iflegi yethu. 

Kukho ne-projects ezikhoyo xa zikhunyushwa kuthiwa zi-legacy 

projects apho njengokuba sele nditshilo sizakuthi sele wadlula u-2010 

sithi le into yenye yezinto esishiyeke nazo. I-studium sethu saseMthatha 

esiseKSD esigqityezelwayo ngoku ibisesinye sezakhiwo ebezenzelwe 

into yokokuba zibe sisikhumbuzo sika-2010. Ngunjalo nokulungiswa 

kweBuffalo City Stadium ezi zinto zonke zenziwe ngalo nyaka-mali 

sithetha ngawo namhlanje. 

Njengesebe ke kwezonto sizenzayo siyaqinisekisa into yokokuba 

inkcubeko yethu ayilahleki. Enye into ephambili apha kwisebe yindaba 

yokufunda kwabantu. Siyakwazi into yokokuba isebe lethu lizakhile ilibraries 

kulo nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo. Imali esinayo ke yokwakha ilibraries 

ayonelanga. Amathala eencwadi wona ayafuneka ingakumbi 

kwindawo ebezifudula ziphantsi kwesandla se-homelands. Kodwa ke 

into esiyenzayo njengokuba ibhajethi yethu incinci nje sifuna ukubulela 

kuqala omasipala abasinyamezeleyo phantsi kwemeko ezinzima siyazi 

into yokokuba asiyomandeyithi yabo le kodwa bona kuba ezintliziyweni 

zabo besazi ukuba uluntu kufuneka lufunde. Ukufunda kunika ulwazi, 

ulwazi lukunika impumelelo. Njengoko ke isitsho i-vision yethu ye- 

Department isithi sifuna abantu abamanyeneyo, nabantu abadlamkileyo, 

nabantu abaphumelelayo. 

Siyabulela ngalonto kodwa ke zikhona iindlela esizijongayo ngoku into 

yokokuba siphucule indlela esisebenzisana ngayo nomasipala kulento 

yamathala encwadi. Kuba siyayikhuthaza into yokokuba makufundwe 

ngabantwana besebancinci ukwenzela into yokokuba intsomi ethi – 

ukuba ufuna ukufihlela umntu omnyama into yifihle encwadini iphele 

ithi tu siyibulale lonto. 

Kukho i-museums esinazo eziluxanduva lwethu njengesebe. I-museums 

ezi ingxaki yazo zakhiwa ngexesha lobandlululo. Sifumana

ubunzinyana ke ukuzijika zifanele imeko yenkululeko esikuyo 

namhlanje. Kodwa kulo nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo yinto esiye 

sayijonga ngeliso elibanzi leyo into yokokuba lubekhona utshintsho netransformation 

ezi-museum. Kangangokuba into esiyiplanayo ngoku 

yinto yokokuba i-museum nganye mayibenezixhobo ezibonisa impilo 

yoluntu lwalo ndawo. 

Ukubangaba apha kuthiwa le ndawo kukwaXhosa. Isinxibo sakwaXhosa 

i-museum mayisibonise. Sithi thina sele singasekho abantwana bethu 

bayazi into yokokuba ebenxiba inkciyo, anxibe inkcebetha, anxibe 

isidanga. Zonke ezi zinto zinxitywa ngabantu abathile ngexesha elithile. 

Apha esinxibeni sakwaXhosa usikhwenkweni wenzelwe ntoni. Ifuna 

lonto into yokokuba ibese-museum ukwenzela ukuba ulwazi olu 

lwenkcubeko yethu sakuba sele simkile thina lushiyeke ebantwaneni 

bethu. 

Enye into ebalulekileyo esiyenzileyo kulo nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo. 

Kukujonga indlela ezisebenza ngayo ii-District offices kuba into 

exhaphakileyo yinto yokokuba abantu baza kusuka beze kwi-provincial 

office kanti bakhona abantu kwi-District ababhatalelwa ukwenza 

umsebenzi kulo ndawo. Kulo nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo sigxininisile 

kwinto yokokuba into mayiqale kwi-province kuba kukho abantu phaya 

abazakukwazi ukuyilandela nokuba iboyisile bayise kwi-Provincial 

Office, inendlela elula yokulandeleka. Siyizamile kakhulu lonto kulo 

nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo. 

Kwezemidlalo ibalulekile imidlalo empilweni yethu. An active nation is 

a healthy nation. A healthy nation is a winning national. Ezemidlalo 

siyaqinisekisa into yokokuba ziyenzeka kwindawo esihlala kuzo. 

Zikhona i-hubs esizifomishayo. Kulo nyaka-mali sithetha ngawo 

sifomishe i-hubs esiqondayo ukuba azanelanga. Kodwa ke sithe xa 

sijikeleza saxelelwa ngabahlali apha eDikeni kanye into yokokuba ngale 

ndlela nizifomisha ngayo mama uTom i-hubs sanukungena nje elalini 

nenze intando yenu niphume, hlalani phantsi nabahlali ukwenzela into 

yokokuba nokuba sele niphumile iqhubeke i-hub kuba abahlali bayayazi 

uncedo lwayo lento. 

Yinto ke esizimisele ukuyenza leyo ukuba senze izinto ngendlela 

efanelekileyo. Siya khuthaza kweze midlalo. Sidibene notate uQwase 

sahlala phantsi kuba siyaqonda into yokokuba inyanzelekile ayicelwa 

into yokokuba italente mayifunyanwe umntwana eselula, ukwenzela 

ukuba ize kukwazi ukunetsharishwa le talente ukwenzela ukuba aze 

kukwazi umntwana ukufumana isiseko esifanelekileyo, axhaswe aze 

kuba yi-champion. 

Sinayo i-champion apha e-Eastern Cape ezakudlalela iBafana-Bafana 

uJali. Ngumfana waseMatatiele uJali akasuki kwenye indawo, usuka 

apha ePhondweni lethu. [Applause.] Into ekufuneka siyenze ke ngoku 

thina kukuqonda into yokokuba abantwana bethu sibaqeqesha njani 

ukwenzela ukuba bakwazi ukuyakufika kula manqanaba aphezulu.

Kuba kaloku imini nezolo uPremier uyabuza ukuba lo msebenzi 

uwenzayo uphendula njani kwi-priorities zikaRulumente. Xa usenza into 

mayibe iphendula into yokokuba iphucula i-health profile of the 

Province. Kufuneka uphendule kwinto ye-economic development, necreation 

of decent jobs. I-sport singayenza lonto ukuba siyenza 

ngendlela efanelekileyo. 

Sifuna ukukhuthaza uluntu into yokokuba i-sport singayiyo into 

yolonwabo kodwa i-sport singayenza imisebenzi ephucukileyo ukuba 

senza izinto ngendlela efanelekileyo. 

Kulo nyaka-mali bakhona omama abahlohla iintsimbi njengokuba 

benditshilo kuqala, otata abaxonxayo imithi, abafana neentombi abenza 

imizobo. Sibaxhasile kulo nyaka mali sithetha ngawo sisenzela into 

yokokuba izinga labo malinyuke. Kodwa ke ngoku sidibene no- 

Economic Development ukuzama into yokokuba bagradyuweyithe 

kungasoloko oko kwakusithiwa uyafufusa, ufufuse ubomi bakho bonke. 

Sidibene no-Economic Development. Ndithetha nani nje bakhona 

omama notata abasuka ePhondweni lethu abakwiMakhufe 

eBloemfontein. Apho i-stall sabo sigqwesileyo kwi-stalls ezibekiweyo 

phaya. [Applause.] 

Iyinyaniso yona into yokokuba xa sisebenzisana singenza lukhulu, xa 

sisebenza sonke. Ifuna ke lonto siyeke ukuba omnye ahlale ekoneni 

yakhe nomnye ahlale ekoneni yakhe, masibambisane. And xa uqonda 

into yokokuba kule ngingqi yam ikhona into ekhathazayo sanukoyika 

okanye nonqene ukuza ngaphambili kwi-Department. Amagosa eliya 

sebe akulungele ukusabela zonke izicelo xa singakwazi ukufikelela 

siyayichaza inyani ngobunjalo bayo. 

Somlomo obekekileyo, Nkulumbuso mama uNoxolo Kiviet, Mambhele 

namalungu akhoyo eNdlu yowiso-mthetho nabahlali ndifuna ukuthi 

silisebe lezemidlalo, ulonwabo, ubugcisa nenkcubeko siziva sinelunda 

ukwazisa leNdlu yowiso-mthetho into yokokuba elisebe kwingxelo yalo 

yophicotho lwencwadi siphinde sabuya singenachaphaza. [Applause.] 

Siyayazi ke ukuba uPremier uthe ufuna iripoti engenalo nelincinci 

ichaphaza. Siza kuzamela lonto – in fact sele sikuyo ke ngoku lonto. 

Kodwa njengesebe siyathembisa ukwenza yonke into esemandleni ethu 

ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba nezi ntsuku sizinikiweyo silisebe lokuba 

silungiselele ubhiyozo lwazo, iNational Days, siyagqwidiza phayanaphaya 

kodwa siyafunda njengokuba sihamba nje. Siyabulela kakhulu. 

[Applause.] 

INTRODUCTION OF ANNUAL REPPORT OF EASTERN 

CAPE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE 

Mr F XASA: Sekela Somlomo, nkulu baphathiswa, nabaphathiswa 

abakhoyo apha, amalungu abekekileyo, abathunywa abaphaya kwi-

NCOP abamele eliPhondo, iindwendwe zethu zaleNdlu, amagosa 

aphezulu kaRulumente, manene namanenekazi. 

Masibulele elithuba siyiNdlu yowiso-mthetho okokuba nathi sinikwe 

ithuba lokuthi thaca ingxelo ngokusebenza kwalaNdlu. Lengxelo 

icacisa kakhulu ngalo nyaka uphela ngalomhla we-31 kuMatshi apha ku- 

2010. Kananjalo le ngxelo isinika ithuba lokokuba sifakane imilomo 

nani malungu nabantu njengokuba bekhona apha eNdlini. Lengxelo 

igunyaziswa ngumthetho olawula ezemali kaRulumente apha elizweni 

nomthetho esisandula ukuwupasisa apha kwiNdlu yowiso-mthetho 

olawula ezemali zePhondo. 

NgoAgasti wonyaka ophelileyo siye sahlala phantsi singamalungu senza 

isicwangciso sokusikhokela kumsebenzi wethu ebekufanele ukuba 

siyawenza. Namhlanje ke size kunika longxelo ke ukubonakalisa into 

yokokuba sibheka phambili na nokuba sibuya umva kulo msebenzi. 

Kuluvuyo ke egameni le-Presiding Officers, nasegameni ke lamalungu 

eNdlu ukuthi ngenkangeleko kubonakala sibheka phambili. 

Kunezinto nje ezimbini esifuna ukuzigxininisa xa sithetha ngomsebenzi 

weNdlu yowiso-mthetho nesiyiqapheleyo njengokuba siqhuba 

nomsebenzi. Siqaphele ukuba abantu banelungelo lokukhalaza okanye 

ukubuza ngenkqubo zikaRulumente. Kananjalo siqaphele into yokokuba 

uRulumente unoxanduva lokuphendula okanye acacise ngeenkqubo 

zakhe eluntwini. So ngamanye amazwi njengamalungu silukhonco 

lokudibanisa amalungu noRulumente, uRulumente nabantu. LeNdlu ithe 

yafumana izikhalazo ezivela eluntwini ezingaphaya konyinge 

wamakhulu amabini anamashumi amane anesixhenxe, lento kuthiwa zipetitions 

kubantu abangasaziyo isiXhosa kakuhle. 

Lento ibonakalisa ukubaluleka komsebenzi esiwuthunyiweyo siyiNdlu 

yowiso-mthetho apho uluntu lunokuthi lubhenele khona xa izinto 

zingahambi kakuhle. INdlu yowiso-mthetho ithe yahlala amatyeli 

angamashumi amathathu ukuxoxa izinto ezichaphazela ubomi babantu 

beliPhondo. 

Ingavakala nje ke ingamanani la kodwa ke ninomzekelo ngokuba sihleli 

ngoku apha niyabona ukuba kwenziwa ntoni. Abantu ingakumbi ke 

amalungu benze imibuzo ePalamente engaphaya kwamakhulu amane 

anamashumi alithoba anesithoba. Le mibuzo ke ibibhekiswa 

kubaPhathiswa. Ndiyafuna ke ukuthi kukhona ukuphucuka kwindlela 

yokuphendulwa kwendlela yemibuzo yamalungu. Njengokuba ebuza 

amalungu siqaphele ukuba kukhona ukuphucuka abaphathiswa 

bayaphendula. Siyabakhuthaza ke into yokokuba kufuneka baqhubele 

phambili ngalo msebenzi wokuphendula. Ngoba lonto iqhubela phambili 

ulawulo ngezimvo zesininzi. Yilento kuthiwa yi-democracy. 

Phakathi kwezinto esithe sazibophelela kuzo kumgaqo-nkqubo wethu 

kukuba siza kuqinisa inkqubo yokuthatha inxaxheba kuluntu kwinkqubo 

zethu ukuze kukhule ukuqondana phakathi koluntu noRulumente.

Sikwazile ukuqhuba amaqonga obuhlobo phakathi kwethu nabantu. 

SinePalamente zabantu esiziqhubileyo apha i-Sectoral Parliament, 

endicinga into yokokuba ziyaziwa, zibene kulo nyaka mali sithetha 

ngawo. 

Kwakhona ekungeneni kwethu ngokufuna ukuxandisa inkqubo 

yokufakana imilomo nabantu siye sajikeleza, sityelela amakomkhulu, 

sicacisela abantu ngomsebenzi wePalamente ukuba yintoni. Sicinga 

ukuba nalonto isenza ukuba noko abantu baseMpuma-Koloni bayazi 

into yokokuba iPalamente isebenza kanjani. 

Iikomiti zeNdlu yowiso-mthetho zisinika isidima ngoba zilandela zonke 

iinkqubo. Njengokuba sinika ingxelo apha bazakuphuma bona baye 

kujonga ukuba lento bekuthethwa ngayo ikhona nyani na, kujongwe 

umgangatho wayo. Balithe saa ke lonke eliPhondo. Ndiyafuna ke ukuthi 

yimpumelelo ke yonke leyo ekufanele ukuba sizidle ngayo 

njengamalungu ePalamente amele abantu. Ngenjongo yokuqinisekisa 

ukuba imali esiyabelweyo siyiNdlu yowiso-mthetho isebenza kakuhle 

sipasise umthetho wolawulo-mali wePalamente kulo nyaka mali sikuwo. 

Sixakene ke ngoku nokuqiniseka ukuba lomthetho uyasebenza. 

IPalamente le yalapha eMpuma-Koloni iyinxalenye yePalamente 

zalapha eSouth Afrika, ngokuba siyi-sector, singabantu abasebenza 

kunye kunezinto ke esibambiseneyo ngazo ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba 

sibheka phambili. Phakathi ke kwezinto esithe sazenza kulo nyaka mali 

sithetha ngawo kukusayina isibhambhathiso ne-European Union 

isincedisa yona ekuqeqesheni amalungu ukuqinisekisa into yokokuba 

anobuchule wokwenza lomsebenzi wawo nokuqinisekisa into yokokuba 

ayakhula. Xa ndisithi ayakhula ke ndithetha ukuba akhule 

ngokwasemfundweni. Siyiphethe ke lonto njengokuba sithetha yilo 

contract yethu ne-European Union sincediswa yiPalama. 

Xa ndifikelela ekugqibeleni yale ngxelo ndinqwenela ukugxininisa into 

yokokuba leNdlu yowiso-mthetho inomsebenzi obalulekileyo 

kwinkqubo yolawulo apha elizweni. Kungesosizathu kubalulekileyo 

ukuba masinike umzekelo omhle ngendlela esisebenza ngayo ingakumbi 

ukusetyenziswa kwemali zoluntu. Nathi ke njengala masebe ebethetha 

apha ukubamba ke eso sidima umphicothi zincwadi uye wathi siqhube 

kakuhle nathi ekuphatheni imali ze-Legislature. 

Sekela Somlomo lushwankathelo olu lwale ngxelo eyona ncwadi inkulu 

ilapho phambi kwakho. Ndicela ke ukuyithi thaca phambi kwaleNdlu. 

Enkosi. [Applause.]
