This week east griqualand ONLINE EDITORIAL COMMENT

A number of reasons to celebrate extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto ries. This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses sion coverage because you never know what to ex pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the byelections and once again, hoping for positive change. We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world. The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breathtaking skyline together with a host of won derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa. After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by a South African.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world. South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy. It’s been a year since his death and many ques tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’. Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some times comes to the fore. The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

Alleged Underberg farm attackers arrested THE KZN acting provincial commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa commended SAPS members who were involved in tracing the suspects that are allegedly linked to the recent Underberg farm attacks. Last Friday police arrested three suspects allegedly involved with the attacks in the Bulwer area. The suspects were found in pos-

session of stolen property that was taken from the home of a 79-yearold farmer who was attacked in Underberg. On February 1, Gavin Carter (46), was asleep at his West Isley farm home in Underberg when he was attacked. He was shot several times and died instantly. Another farmer Trevor Charls Rees (79) was attacked and killed. He was at his Pudsay farm, in Himeville on 3 February when he was approached by the suspects. It is alleged that the suspects tied him up, assaulted him, shot him and then took off Ford Ranger bakkie and money. He died on 4 February. His vehicle was found abandoned in Pietermaritzburg area. “Through hard work by Himeville police officers, assisted by local farmers and security companies, a breakthrough was made when the suspects were arrested in the Bulwer area. The suspects are linked to both farm attacks and investigations are continuing,” said SAPS spokesperson, LieutenantColonel Thulani Zwane. The suspects appeared in court on Monday and the case was postponed to next Monday. - Supplied.

SAPS union calls for security of police officers FEVER REPORTER THE federation of Police and Prison Civil Rights Union (Popcru) is calling for the protection of police officers when they respond to crime scenes. The Eastern Cape Popcru provincial chairperson, Loyiso Mdingi, condemned the recent murder of Constable Siyabulela Qwanti (28), who was shot dead while responding to a crime at Katkop near Mount Fletcher on 9 February. Qwanti and seven police members were searching for illegal firearms in the home of a local man. “Police were tipped off that the man had an illegal firearm. When police knocked on his door he opened fire and injured two officers. Other officers returned fire

and the man was killed instantly,” said SAPS spokesperson, Raphael Motloung. An illegal firearm Z88, 23 cartridges and projectiles were found in the house. Qwanti was rushed to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha and later died. Another 27-year-old constable was injured and taken to Margate Hospital. Mdingi asked the community to help protect the police. “Community members must identify criminals and work with community policing forums to fight crime. Some police officers are not well equipped to carry out certain duties and government must make sure they are equipped and protected.” Funeral arrangements are to be announced soon.

A community member, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said the hall is vandalised almost every night. “During the day we don’t see anyone

destroying it, but when we wake up in the morning more windows and doors are missing.” Greater Kokstad Municipality spokesperson Sabelo Ncwane said the hall will be repaired soon. “The municipality is aware of the gross vandalism of the hall. We ask community members to protect municipal property.”

AmaMpondomise lay claim to Kokstad SIPHELELE NKETO LAST Friday, traditional leaders from the AmaMpondomise nation and their king, Zanozuko Matiwane from Qumbu, held a meeting at Kokstad Town Hall where they claimed to be the legitimate owners of Kokstad land. Chairperson of AmaMpondomise Peter Madasa said the purpose of the meeting was for AmaMpondomise from different areas to get know each other. “History tells that Kokstad is our land,” said Madasa. “Government boundaries have caused many problems especially here. Kokstad was demarcated under KwaZulu-Natal, but, the area belongs to us and we can produce evidence,” he said. Other traditional leaders from amaXesibe, Sotho and Griqua nation attended the meeting. Chairperson of the Griqua Traditional Council, Gabriel Marais said he wants the truth about the ownership of the area. AmaMpondomise also said they want their kingship to be recognised by government. Madasa said the government has rejected their claim for years after they asked for it to be restored after being taken away many years ago.

The bridge that connects Coulter Street to the CBD and Bongweni Township was under water and people spent hours trying to get across after the storm had passed, but the water was too fastmoving. A Horseshoe resident, Victor Ngcaweni said water flooded his RDP house and even wet his

bed and furniture. “My bed and sofas are wet and I am now sleeping at my neighbour’s house.” Another community member, Mawethu Nocanda blamed municipality for not putting in drains in the area. The Greater Kokstad Municipal spokesperson Sabelo Ncwane said the only serious cases reported were about trees that had fallen down in some areas. SAPS spokesperson Captain Dumisani Ncongo warned people not to cross raging rivers.

ANDILE VELEM MUNICIPAL MANAGER

GKM VIEWPOINT GREETINGS to the people of Kokstad. Extension 7 roads The community of Extension 7 have been driving in very difficult road conditions for a long time. The municipality has been trying to resolve the issue. It is a good thing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As I speak the project is at the last stages of the supply chain process and by the end of this month there should be an appointed contractor. I am pushing the SCM Unit to finalise every process correctly, and according to legislation, to ensure that by April the contractor is on site. As an acting accounting officer, I cannot wait to see a completion certificate handed to the contractor and a completed road handed to the community. We hope the process is completed within a reasonable time for the sake of the community. Council has made it clear that they are not waiting for any excuse from me. I have adopted the same principle for the managers accountable to me with regards to this project. I am happy for the people of Extension 7 and I will be happier after we have introduced the contractor to the community.

Electrification of Wansberg The mayor of Greater Kokstad Municipality Cllr B.M. Mtolo introduced the contractor that will do the electrification of Wansberg on 12 February. They have promised the municipality they will complete the project in three months time from this week. This community has also been facing an electricity challenge for a long time and I am happy that government has delivered to the people of Wansberg. The contractor has committed to employ 10 local people during construction, a security guard and one community liaison officer. I will urge those who are employed to make sure they learn a skill during this time because life goes on after the project. We always urge our service providers to make sure that the skill is transferred to local people. I thank God that no major incidents were reported to my office after the severe storm in Kokstad on Monday. Sisonke siyaqhubeka nokuphuhlisa iKokstad. Siyaqhuba enkosi.

The bids will be evaluated in two stages, namely:

I AM currently employed by the state and I consider myself a very dedicated employee. I take pride in serving the people of the country, but nothing gets under my skin more than when someone, a member of the public, chooses to invoke his religion or religious beliefs at my place of employment. Firstly, I have taken my time to serve you and you think I am not clean enough to serve you just because I am male. I take offence to such. In my book, the invocation of your religious beliefs under the above-mentioned circumstances smacks of tyranny, ungratefulness and conceit. In my book, it is a violation of my goodheartedness. I feel discriminated against whenever this scenario presents itself. Secondly, in my culture, a male my age is

Imagine what would happen if every elderly woman was to refuse my help citing her cultural beliefs? The system would crash and service delivery would come to a standstill. How is it that some of us can compromise on our beliefs, be they religious or cultural, yet some members of the community refuse to return the favour? I have stated the context under which my concern emanates, therefore I do not expect to be misunderstood. Public Servant
