Teachers shut down school W

ith just 27 days left to complete the fourth and final term of the 2016 academic year, teachers at Dunoon Primary School, supported by some parents, shut down the school on Friday, October 14. This is because they are fed up with an environment unconducive to learning and teaching. Huge holes in the ceilings, broken window panes, broken toilets and other structural issues characterise the Dunoon Primary School. Classrooms are undersized for

large and small group instruction; to top it all, vandalism and break-ins are common occurances. “Some classes don’t have electricity. They were vandalised by the community. They steal electricity cables and switches. The school has spent large amounts replacing the stolen electricity cables and switches. With the recent repair work we undertook we spent about R30 000 but they came back soon after and vandalised the classrooms again stealing everything new,” said an educator who opted not to be named for fear of facing reprisals.

The teacher said because the classrooms are undersized, they are overcrowd. In extremely hot conditions last summer, some pupils fainted; a cause for concern. She said teachers complain that it is difficult for pupils to concentrate on lessons when temperatures rise too high or too low. She said the other major issue is human dignity: “The toilets are blocked. They emit a foul stench. Water contaminated with urine and faeces run past Grade R classes and Grade 3 classes are situated next to the toilets,” she said. ~continued on page 3

Hundreds say goodbye to ‘MaSti’

tanding amidst the multitude at Maitland Cemetery to pay his last respects to Thandiswa Priscilla Feni-Stokwe, fondly nicknamed “MaSti” (meaning mama Stokwe), Patrick Mbangula recalled MaSti’s generosity and selflessness; a senior citizen who worked tirelessly to develop Dunoon. Mbangula is just one of several hundreds of stories of people whose lives were touched by MaSti. On Saturday, October 23, Mbangula joined hundreds of Dunoon residents and others from various areas to pay his last respects to Dunoon’s late community leader. “We have lost an icon. We have lost a mother. We should celebrate stewards when they are alive. Their history and achievements must not end when they die. MaSti will be remembered across the spectrum,” said Mbangula. Feni-Stokwe’s death at the age of 65 on Saturday, October 8 sent shockwaves through Dunoon where she

was beloved as a community leader, mother, and politician. She became Dunoon’s pillar of support and one of the essential links to the generation that facilitated the establishment of the Dunoon township. Last Saturday her body was placed in state at the St Lawrence Anglican Church in Dunoon as hundreds of people from around Cape Town and the Eastern Cape paid their last respects to “MaSti”. “I dont know what to say about MaSti. She was our mother. We have lost. We don’t know who will fill her shoes. She contributed a lot in almost all the developments in Dunoon. She facilitated the building of schools, RDP houses, and the new Dunoon Community Healthy Centre (CHC),” said Mavis Matomane. Taxi bosses from the Dunoon Taxi Association (DTA) were also present to bid farewell to her. They provided more than ten taxis to transport people to the cemetery in

Maitland. “We have lost a very dedicated mother. She made a very huge contribution within the taxi business in Dunoon. She had victory in a number of things. She supported DTA and played a huge role during the City of Cape Town negotiations leading up to the transition of the taxi industry to operate MyCiTi buses,” said Frank Qotiwe, a spokesman for the DTA. “She will be greatly missed politically, socially and otherwise. She never wanted political scoring when she made a statement it was based on fairness, political values and substance. It’s a pity we never celebrated her during her lifetime,” said Mbagula. A white hearse carried MaSti’s white casket to the cemetery in Maitland where she was laid to rest. The funeral convoy was escorted by provincial traffic vehicles clearing the way to the cemetery.

Inkungu nelanga ithe ndlelantle ku ‘MaSti’ othandwa kakhulu

Uqaqambise ukuzinikela kwakhe ekuphuhliseni indawo yase Dunoon. UMbangula ongomnye wabo bathe bachatshazelwa yimvuzemvuze yobubele buka Masti ongcatywe ngoMgqibelo umhla wama 23 ku Oktobha.

“Silahlekelwe liqhawe apha, siphulukene nomzali wokwenene, isikhukukazi sokwenene. Sifanelwe kukubancoma abantu abanje besaphila. Imbali nemisebenzi yabo akufanela iphele besakutshonelwa lilanga. UMaSti uyakukhunjulwa nanguthathatha ngegalelo lakhe,” uMbangula utshilo. UMasti usutywe kukufa eminyaka engama 65 ngomhla wesibhozo kule imiyo iindaba ezo zinabe okomlilo wedobo kuba ubethandwa ngenene ngabahali balendawo. UMasti ubeyinkokheli etshatsheleyo kwezopolitiko

nalapho ebengumqolo wezophuhliso nonxibelelwano kwabadala nabatsha. Umzimba wakhe ubekwe esiqikiqeleni ngoMgqibelo kwinkonzo yase St Lawrence Anglican Church eDunoon nalapho inkitha yabantu abasuka nkalo zonke ifike yanikeza imbeko kuye. “Andazi ukuba ndingathetha ndithini ngo MaSti, ibingumama wethu. Silahlekelwa kakhulu. Asazi ukuba sakuncedwa ngubani kwimicimbi yethu ngoku. Ubeluncedo kakhulu kwaye isikhewu sakhe asisayi kuvalwa. Ubeyintombi equkezayo, ufike ekho kwizindlu ze

RDP nolwakhiwo lwezikolo kunye ne Dunoon Community Healthy Centre (CHC),” utshilo uMavis Matomane. Iinkokheli ze Dunoon Taxi Association (DTA) nazo bezikho ukuza kuvalelisa ku Masti. Benze umkhonto wokukhupha iiteksi ezilishumi zithutha abantu felefele ukubasa emangcwabeni eMaitland. “Yilahleko enkulu ukushiywa ngu Masti. Ubenegalelo elingumangaliso ekuhlaleni kwaye nalapha eziteksini ubeluncedo kakhulu. Yonke into ebeyenza ibisiba yimpumelelo. Udlale indima kwingxoxo zethu nebhunga

Teachers shut down school ~from page 1

here is only one water tap situated outside the blocked toilets. The tap caters for 1400 pupils from grade R to 7. In the meantime the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) is yet to take ownership of a newly built permanent school to accommodate the Dunoon Primary School pupils. Now teachers are demanding to occupy the new infrastructure but, according to the WCED, water is the problem. “We were excited when they started building a new school for us but after completion we still can’t move in. They say water is the problem. Who approved the building plans and school site without checking the water pressure problem,” questioned the teacher. Grade 6 pupil Aviwe Diamond, 12, said she is not happy with the

shutting down of the school, but from another perspective, she said that she supports the shutting down so that they can learn in a more conducive environment. “In our temporary classrooms when it’s hot it becomes unbearable, same as when it’s cold. We want the new school opened,” said Diamond. Jessica Shelver, spokesperson of the provincial minister of education, Debbie Schäfer, confirmed teachers are boycotting classes at the school. She confirmed the water pressure problem at the new modern school which cost R58 million to build. “The school needs good water pressure to operate the toilets and fire hydrants. They need to work properly to ensure the health and safety of learners and staff. The whole area (Dunoon) is experiencing huge water pressure problems, including the

school, apparently because of rapid population growth in Du Noon,” said Shelver. She said the teachers had stated that they wrote to the department but had received no response. “We can confirm that teachers sent a letter to our Head Office. The department responded in detail,” she said. She said the WCED has not yet taken ownership of the multi-million rand school and will only do so after the water pressure problem has been resolved. “Engineers explained why water pressure is a problem in the area and why the department could not take ownership of the school at this stage. According to our information, it will take several months to fix the water pressure in Du Noon, which may mean that the department will not be able to take ownership of the school until June 2017,” she said.

Lo tishala uthi ngenxa yokuba amagumbi emancinci akukwazeki ukufundisa kakuhle, maxa wambi abantwana baye baxhozule ngenxa yobushushu, nto leyo iyingozi kakhulu. Uthi ootishala nabo bayakhalaza besithi kunzima kakhulu ukuhlohla xa imo yezulu inkenenkene Uthi imeko abafundisa kuzo azithandeki tu kwaphela. “Izindlu zangasese ziyaphuphuma lilindle, zinuka into enganyamezelekiyo. Amanzi amdaka abaleka angene eklasini yabantwana abancinci kuba igumbi labo lisondele,”utshilo. Kukho impompo yamanzi enye kwesisikolo esinabantwana abaliwaka elinesiqingatha. Kodwa ke ukuza kuthi ga ngoku Isebe leMfundo Entshona Koloni alikaluthatheli kuso ulawulo lwesikolo esitsha nto leyo ibangela kubenzima ukuvumela ukusetyenziswa kwaso. Ngoku ootishala bagunyazisa ukuba kungenwa ingxaki kukuba amanzi awakavulelwa. “Sivuye gqitha ukwakhiwa kwesisikolo kodwa into nje ety-

hafisayo kukuba asikwazi ukungena ngoku kuso kuba kusithiwa akukho manzi kwaye isikolo asikanikezelwa ngokusemthethweni,” ikhalaze yatsho letishala. Umfundi owenza ibanga lesine u-Aviwe Diamond, uthi akonwabanga kwaphela kukuvalwa kwesikolo ngenxa yoqhankqalazo kodwa akunakunceda kuba imbi ngenene imeko abafunda kuyo. “Kushushu xa kushushu kweziklasi kwaye kuyabanda xa kubanda. Sifuna isikolo esitsha sivulwe ngoku,” uDiamond utshilo. Othethela isebe lemfundo uJessica Shelver ungqinile ukuba bazivile iintshukumo zootishala zogwayimbo. Uthi uxinizelelo lwamanzi kwesisikolo sitsha lubangela ulibaziseko kodwa wathembisa ngelith sizakuvulwa kwakamsinya. “Usalungiswa umcimbi wamanzi kwaye sizakuvulwa esisikolo xa yonke into ime ngendlela. Umcimbi wamanzi yingxaki enkulu eDunoon,” utshilo.

Gordhan will stand his ground M

inister of Finance Pravin Gordhan has vowed to fight the fraud charges

laid against him and use the same spirit to convince credit rating agencies in the coming weeks and that while South African democracy is “noisy” it should keep an investment grade rating. “The charges have brought into question the legitimacy of some of the announcements that the NPA (The National Prosecuting Authority) leadership has made over the last few days. You will hear more about that in the coming weeks cause as activists, we don’t sit quietly when injustice has been done,” he said on Friday, October 14, at the Reuters Africa conference in Cape Town. “That same fighting spirit is going to be utilised to ensure that we convince rating agencies in the coming weeks and months that this is a noisy democracy but one with a wonderful future,” he

told the delegates via a live Skype video. When asked by Thomson Reuters editor at large Axel Threlfall whether the fraud charges had added considerable stress to him, he responded that his ‘spine is still very straight’, which received a thunderous applause from the delegates. “I have been very fortunate… certainly my generation. We’re not just politicians we are activists of the congress of movement - a movement of Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu among others. To do the right thing, to stand by the right thing and fight the wrong thing inspires tens of thousands of South Africans,” he said. Turning back to the rating agencies, Gordhan said that: “Rating agencies play an important role... We want to produce something as a package which will be credible both on point of view of concept and ideas but more importantly the point of view of plans, milestones and delivery.”

He said rating agencies could see that there was a very different mood in the country at the moment, a mood that was intolerant of corruption, a mood that was intolerant of any illegitimate activity in relation to state institutions, a mood that was saying those institutions handled by individuals that are doing the right thing must be allowed to do the right things. “Even in the moral sense these are the right things we want for our country our society and the future,” he added. “I have saying for many years, those who have foresight, those who have long-term view, those who have confidence in the ability of African leaders and institutions would invest in South Africa, they will take up that, that in the medium term that Africa is the future from any point of view that you want understand or take into account for purposes of investment,” he said.

Basebenzisa ibhola ekulweni nobugewu

Ukwanda kwezimokolo zotywala kuyingozi enkulu kwindawana ya Kwa Five eDunoon ntoleyo ibangela ukwanda kobugewu. Yiyo lonto abemi balapha bathe baqalisa iphulo lokuthibaza intsebisotywala bavusa isikolo sokufundiswa ibhola ekhatywayo. Rhoqo ngosuku lwange Cawa abahlali bangungana kwibala elise Diep River nalapho baye babukele ngomdla iidyongwana zikhuphisana ngesakhono sokukhaba ibhola. Ngenxa yokuzala noxinano kulelokishi lemidlalo ingadlalwa kuphela kwinyhunyhu ekufutshane. “Siqinisekile ukuba ukubulalana okungaka ezimokolweni kwenziwa kukauba abantwana abananto yokwenza ephucukileyo,” utsho uSibabalo Nqotho, olilungu lekomiti ye Table Committee Soccer Academy . UNqotho uthi iinjongo zabo kukucutha isinxilo kulutsha ngokubakhuthaza ukuba badlale yonke indidi yomdlalo. Alishumi elinesibini amaqela athi adlale mpelaveki nganye, ilelo lingenela ukuphiswano nge R320.

“Enye imali iye inikwe amagosa athi ajongane nalemidlalo,” uMbaluleka uyacacisa. Elinye ilungu lekomiti uMbulelo Minana uthi abalandeli nabadlali kuye kufuneke balandele imithetho eluqilima. “Utywala neziyobisi, izithuko azifuna nokubonwa oknaye ukuviwa apha,” uMinana owaqalisa iqela i Jamaica Football Club uyasixelela. Wongeze ngelithi nabani na owophula umthetho ufumana isohlwayo esiqatha ekomitini. Ukwathe ukuvulwa kwale academy kubanike ithuba lokuba bathumele abadlali abanetalente kumaqela adlala phantsi kwe South African Football Association. UDennis Mbazana, odlala esuswini kwiqela iAbahlobo FC, unesakhono esihle kakhulu. Ngowe 2014 uMbazana udlalele iqela elikwi Castle League kodwa wabuye wayeka ngenxa yokungafumani nxaso. “Nalapho siyabethekala asikafumani nxaso ingako, ngoko sicela kushishino lwalapho ukuba lusincede,” utshilo umdlali. “Amabala ethu esidlala kuwo mabi kakhulu. Eli sidlala kulo soloko ligcwele amanzi,” utshilo uDavid Sejojo, okwangumdlali, Naye uSejojo ucele uncedo kushishino esithi abantwana badinga inkuthazo.

Residents use soccer to fight crime

SIMLINDILE PIKE

he proliferation of illegal shebeens has become extremely serious; contributing to the rise of crime in kwa 5 squatter camp near Dunoon. It is for this reason that some residents, armed with a communitydriven plan, established a Soccer Academy as a way to deter crime and drunkenness. Every Sunday hundreds of residents converge near the Diep River where young men between the ages 23 to 30 showcase their soccer skills on the vlei.

Due to overcrowding in the sprawling squatter camp, the vlei is the only nearby space available for youngsters to play in. “We were certain that these killings (occurring in shebeens), happen because the youth have no better things to do,” said 54 year old Sibabalo Nqotho, who is a member of the squatter camp’s Table Committee Soccer Academy . Nqotho said the whole idea of the community-driven plan was to find something to deter crime and drunkenness in the community. He said weekend football fixtures

are organised with 12 teams. Each team brings R320. Siyabonga Mbaluleka, co-founder of Abahlobo Football Club said six matches are played every Sunday, and the winner from each match walks away with R600. “The remaining R40 is shared between the referees who get R20 and the assistant referees receiving R10 each,” said Mbaluleka. Another committee member Mbulelo Minana, said supporters and players needed to comply with stringent rules to participate. “Alcohol, drugs, insults, or fights on the field are banned,” said Mi-

nana who founded the Jamaica Football Club. He added: “Anyone who breaks the rules is punished by the Committee.” He said opening the academy has also offered an opportunity to young soccer players to showcase the soccer skills to SAFA affiliated football clubs. The academy has players aged from 23 to 27 years old. Dennis Mbazana, midfielder of Abahlobo FC, is a player with exceptional talent in the academy. In 2014 Mbazana said he played in the Castle League. He said he quit

because of sponsorship and personal problems. “Even here in our own academy we still face the same problem, lack of sponsorship,” he said. “Our soccer fields are not in good condition. The good one we like to use is always filled with water,” said David Sejojo, another player. Sejojo said, although they buy their own soccer kits, they will be happy to get any kind of sponsorship, especially ones to help fix their fields.
