Old defunct system being replaced
A
NEW committee responsible for coordinating the fight against HIV/Aids in the Kouga has been elected.
The Kouga Local Aids Council was elected last Friday at the Cultural Centre in Humansdorp to replace the old structure which became defunct. The meeting comprised Kouga councillors and officials, and various representatives from ward committees, youth structures, NGOs, clinic committees, faith based organisations, arts and culture groupings, people living with disabilities, and government departments. Speaking at the meeting, portfolio
councillor and chairperson of the LAC Councillor Thandeka Maseti said it was a great relief that stakeholders had shown such great enthusiasm towards the revival of the structure. “HIV/Aids affect all of us in one way or another and it requires a joint effort from us all to ensure that we take the fight against the pandemic to the next level and hopefully succeed,” she said. She added that it was the duty of all committee members and stakeholders to ensure that the new structure fulfils its mandate and that it serves its full term. Some of the duties of the LAC are coordination of HIV/Aids pro-
grammes within Kouga, strengthening of partnerships amongst stakeholders and to act as an advisory body to the municipal Council on HIV/Aids matters. The members of the committee are councillor Thandeka Maseti (Chairperson), Gene Thube (KM HIV/Aids Coordinator and LAC Secretary), Monde Fulani, Siyabonga Jama, Wadje Solomon, Julius Antoni, Yolanda Juries, Sammy Persent, Reverend Siyabonga Tambo, Cathy Madikane, Ricardo Adams, Nzimeni Oliphant, Lee-Graven van Rooyen, Glady Philander, Sipho Simamane, Nomalungelo Ntengwane and Annie Norushu.

ILSE KRIGE SOWAT 100 inwoners het verlede Woesndag opgedaag by die munisipale kantore hier vir ’n protesoptog oor swak dienslewering in die Kouga- munisipale gebied. Dít nadat meer as 700 mense in September hul ontevredenheid met die munisipaliteit gelug het. Paul Hjul, voorsitter van die Jeffreysbaai-inwonersverenging, het gesê die blote feit dat die optog vreedsaam was en wel plaasgevind het, beteken hulle het bereik wat hulle wou bereik, naamlik om druk op die plaaslike owerhede te plaas. Laura-Leigh Randall, munisipale woordvoerder, het gesê ’n munisipaliteit het die reg om toestemming vir ’n optog te weier. “Die mense is deur die polisie gevra om uiteen te gaan, omdat dit nie ’n wettige optog was nie. Dis nie dat ons gesê het hulle mag nie betoog nie – ons het net gesê dit is nie ’n geleë tyd nie, want hier was niemand om die memorandum te ontvang nie.” Sy het gesê die munisipale bestuurder, Sidney Fadi, was in ’n vergadering toe die betogers opgedaag het. “Hy het binne die gebou met die organiseerders van die optog en die polisie gesels. Die polisie het die organiseerders gevra om die saamtrek te verdaag, omdat hulle nie toestemming gehad het om dit te hou nie. Alles het vreedsaam verloop.” Sy het gesê hulle het nog nie ’n aansoek vir ’n alternatiewe datum gekry nie. Lt.kol. Zolani Xawuka, stasiebevelvoerder van die Jeffreysbaai-polisie, het bevestig die optog is nie deur die munisipaliteit gemagtig nie.
