Mlungu girl dumps suburban bliss for kasi life!

HRISTINE Williams (26) had eaten pap only twice before she moved ekasi. Now she eats it everyday! The pretty mlungu has been living among black people in Dunoon, near Milnerton, Cape Town, for nearly a year! It took her six months to get her parents in Port Elizabeth to let her live there. Before moving, she lived in a comfy Camps Bay suburb.

Christine said God told her to start something in Dunoon. She rents an RDP house, works for community development and co-founded the non-profit group, MyDunoon. The group’s vision is to unite people and solve community problems, she said. “We’re trying to create more community pride and participation by hosting open-stage music events and doing com-

Koeberg nuclear power station acquires a fire-fighting beast ISOLABANTU REPORTER

EARNING from what happened at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe in 2011, Mzansi’s Eskom Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant is stepping up its disaster preparedness and has acquired a Germany built fire fighting beast worthy R12m to add onto their available emergency equipment arsenal. Built by Rosenbauer—one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fire-fighting equipment in defensive fire and disaster protection—the fire fighting and rescue vehicle was formally handed over on Friday, September 11, at Koeberg nuclear power plant. The Plant’s Stakeholder Management Manager Lewis Phidza told Isolabantu that following the Fukushima catastrophe, Koeberg Power Station assessed what additional equipment would have aided the plant if it was faced with a similar Fukushima catatrasophe. Phidza said from reports on how the Daicii plant tried to cope with the devastation of

an earthquake which was soon followed by a tsunami, the debris left behind made it impossible for anyone to get in or out of the plant. In addition to this, emergency personnel were re-

quired to poor water onto the exposed spent fuel. With this in mind, he said, a very unique firefighting vehicle was identified. “We needed a vehicle that would provide emergency

ponents. The vehicle should be versatile enough to be used as a firefighting vehicle but also be able to be used in special circumstances,” said Phidza. He said Eskom main objective was to ensure that its employ-

ees were working in a safe environment and once they were safe their safety can be translated into the safety of the public and the environment. “We value the safety of our employees the public, the environment and animal,” he said. He said the good news was that the fire fighting and rescue vehicle will not only cater for the nuclear power station, it will also accommodate Capetonians if they have any fire disaster challenge and if the vehicle was not needed at the plant at the time. “We’re not going to be greedy with the vehicle. Where we are going to have an opportunity to save lives we are going to make it available.” The power station manger Riedewaan Bakardien said they have absolutely made the right investment in the safety of the nuclear power plant. He said after Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe, a team of nuclear engineers was formed and dispatched to Japan to see what they could learn from the incident. “We cant rule out the pos-

Isikhululo senyukliya sithenge isicima mlilo esixabisa izigidi ISOLABANTU REPORTER

MVENI kokubona okwenzeka kumbhodamo wenyukliye eFukushima eJapan ngo2011, isikhululo seNyukliye sakwaEskom sinyusa ikawusi ngokuqinisa ezokhuseleko. Bathenga isicima-mlilo esizakunceda kuhlangulo esixabisa izigidi ezi12 zerandi. Esisicima-mlilo sakhiwe nguRosenbauer waseJamani - omnye wemizi ehamba phambili ekwakheni izixhobo zokulwa umlilo nokhuseleko sinikezelwe n g o k u s e mt h e t h weni ngoLwesihlani 11 September kwisikhululo saseKoerberg. Kulomsitho, osi Stakeholder Management Manager u Lewis Phidza, uxelele Isolabantu ukuba emveni kwentlekele eFukushima, isikhululo saseKoerberg sajonga ukuba ngawaphi na amanyathelo anokuthathwa ukuze kuphuculwe ukhuseleko xa kukho intlekele. UPhidza uthe iingxelo ezazichaza indlela esisikhululo esiseDaaichi sazama ukumelana nolwamvila lale ntlekele yenyikima eyalandelwa ngamanzi aphumela emhlabeni yenza kube nzima ukuba kuhlangulwe abantu ngokukhawuleza. Lonto yenza ukuba bacinge ngalenqwelo, ngokutsho kwakhe. “ Besiyidinga lenqwelo ukuze

abasebenzi bakwazi ukubanento abazakuqabela kuyo ze kukhutshwe abakhutshwayo kungene abangenayo, lenqwelo izakuphinde ibe sisixhobo sokugalela amanzi. Lenqwelo bekufuneke ikwazi ukusetyenziswa njengesicimamlilo iphinde yenze neminye imisebenzi yohlangulo,” utshilo uPhidza. Uthe eyona njongo kaEskom kukuqinisekisa ukuba abasebenzi basebenza kwindawo ekhuselekile lonto izakuqinisekisa ukuba noluntu nalo lukhuselekile. “ Siluxabisile ukhuseleko lwab as eb enzi bethu, uluntu, okusingqongileyo nezilwanyane,’ utshilo. Uthe indaba ezimnandi zezokuba esisicimalilo asizukusetyenziswa sisikhululo kuphela kodwa nesiXeko saseKapa singasisebenzisa sincede uluntu ngokubanzi xa sidingeka. Umphathi wesisikhulu uRiedewaan Bakardien uthe benze esona sigqibo sisizo ngokutyala kukhuselelko lwesisikhululo. Uthe emveni kwentlekele yaseFukushima, igqiza leenjineli laye lathunyelwa eJapan ukuba liyokujonga abanokufunda kwesisehlo, bajonge ukuba ingaba iKoerberg inganaso na isehlo esinje nokuba ingakhuselwa njani.

“Asinakuthi akunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho intlekele efana neTsunami okanye ukubethwa yinqwelo-moya. Emveni kokuhlola siye sabona ukuba sithenge esisithuthi. Besinosithenga kwalapha kwililizwe kodwa abakwa Rosenbauer baziwa ngokuba nomgangatho ophakamileyo,” utshilo Bakardien. OyiMarketing Manager kwa Rosenbauer uMichael von der Heyde uthe lenqwelo ibize 12 yezigidi zeranti.

“Yakhiwe kumzi wokwakha wethu eJalmani. Ikhethekile yaye ikhuselekile nakweyiphi na imeko. Akho mpazamo apha kulenqwelo,” utsho ezingca. Uthe lenqwelo ineleli efikelelo kubude obuyi32 yemitha yaye ithwala Ilitha ezi-3000 zamanzi. Uthe naseFukushima bayithengile lenqwelo.

simahla, liza kutshintshwa ngaphandle kwentlawulo. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ngaba uveza ikhadi lemyconnect eliphelelwayo, owawulithengile, kwaye iirekhodi zibonisa ukuba wawukhe wanikwa ikhadi lasimahla ngaphambili, imali eshiyekileyo kuyakufuneka okokuba ikhutshelwe kwelo khadi lasimahla okanye ungathenga ikhadi lemyconnect elitsha ngama R20 kuze kukhutshelwe imali ebe ishiyekile kwelo litsha. Ukuba ngaba kuphelelwa ngaphezulu kwekhadi elinye kusapho, umntu omnye kusapho angawahlaziya onke loomakhadi, ukuba nje kukho ifom yesicelo egcwalisiweyo, yasayinwa yekhadi ngalinye eliphelelwayo.

The WCED provided the mobile classrooms to temporality accommodate Sophakama primary school pupils while building the school’s brand new infrastructure . After completion of the new school infrastructure, the department planned to relocate the mobile clssrooms where it was needed. But this angered parents whose children were left out in the initial enrolment of the 2015 school academic year. The parents had identified vol-

unteer teachers to teach the pupils at the mobile classrooms. WCED, after engagements with the children parents, resolved to provide qualified teachers to teach a total of 113 children which were verified to be placed in school. When Isolabantu visited the school site on Monday, September 7, WCED contracted teachers were busy teaching the pupils. In two other mobile classrooms, 70 Grade R pupils were being taught by four good samaritan volunteer teachers. The teachers, who graduated at West Coast FET college say the department had informed them that there was no budget to cater for the Grade R pupils. “We are recycling used A4 papers to teach the children. We dont have chairs. We want the WCED to officially open Grade R classes here so we can get opportunity to work,” said one of the volunteer teacher Nobong-

books at book shops and fixes old computers to give his computer lessons “The main drive is to help pupils with English literacy and save their parents money traveling to Table View library to borrow books. I decided to bring a library at the door step of the community. In addition most people here are not good in speaking English so I opened the library to encourage the culture learning,” said Nyoka.
