ATER shortages in and around Mthatha are forcing residents to dig deep into their own pockets to acquire this life-giving commodity.

With taps having run dry in several localities, residents now depend on water tank deliveries, or resort to hiring trucks to bring water back to where they live.

In reaction to the water crisis, OR Tambo Municipal Manager, Tshaka Hlazo, said they had a broad plan to ensure constant water availability in the OR Tambo region.

“We are running an R80 million project of replacing old pipes in areas like Fortgale, Khwezi, the Central Business District (CBD)

of Mthatha and some areas close to town. We want to change the old system to ensure the availability of water. This is why water cuts are being experienced in some areas.

“We are appealing to residents to please remain patient. The pipe replacements have a long term solution as goal,” he said.

According to him, they were also upgrading the Thornhill water supply in an endeavour to extract more water from the Mthatha Dam. Hlazo said a generator would also be installed at the Mthatha dam, to prevent power outages from influencing water supply. “We have started by installing big pipes in corridors like Mthatha Airport and Mhlahlane, followed by Mqanduli, Viedgesville and New Nkululekweni, to ease water distribution.

“We had already bought three big generators for Thornhill to ensure water gets to eve-

rybody without interruptions. Now we have embarked on a regional water scheme route to accommodate the locations in deep rural areas,” said Hlazo.

He said almost all the regional water schemes in the OR Tambo region were in an operational state, excluding Stage 27, which supplies water to some villages in Ngqeleni.

In the Ngquza Hill municipality, the Flagstaff regional water scheme – which supplies water to Flagstaff and some parts of Lusikisiki – is now being constructed and work has already started on the Port St Johns water scheme. “The Mvumelwano, Sidwadweni and Culunca regional water supply systems are working. The rest of Nyandeni’s regional schemes are up and running. We have hired trucks to supply water in areas where water shortages are being experienced,” said Hlazo.

Education boss in R60-mil tender probe THE Eastern Cape department of education head of department (HoD) Mthunywa Ngonzo has been suspended pending an investigation into the R60-million school furniture tender contract.

Last week provincial education MEC Mandla Makupula confirmed that Ngonzo had been placed under precautionary leave following the alleged school furniture tender irregularities.

Makupula said Ngonzo had been given leave of absence until anomalies around the R60-million school furniture tender allegations and its investigations are complete.

Departmental spokesperson Loyiso Pulumane said Ngonzo would remain suspended pending an investigation of the allegations of mismanagement regarding the tender.

“There are matters that need to be investigated and the law requires that investigations of this nature be finalised within 60 working days. These are normal administrative processes of the department and as such we appeal to the public to allow space for all due processes to be finalised,” said Pulumane.

Deputy director general of institutional operations management, Ray Tywakadi, has been appointed as the acting head of the department to ensure smooth running of the administration, and Ngonzo will remain as the HoD until the outcome of his investigation.

Ngonzo has been praised for successfully bringing stability in the department and improving the province’s matric pass rate.

Two years ago Ngonzo replaced advocate Modidima Mannya who was sacked by former premier Noxolo Kiviet after Mannya had a fallout with teacher union, Sadtu.

Sadtu successfully put pressure on Kiviet to sack Mannya after allegations of maladministration, fraud and corruption surfaced against him.

Under Ngonzo’s leadership there was stability in the troubled department and the province recorded an improved 64.9% matric pass rate last year.

More bogus ‘surgeons’ to be arrested

SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE SPOKESPERSON for the Eastern Cape department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Mamkeli Ngam, has vowed that more arrests of bogus traditional surgeons in the Libode area would follow.

Ngam’s utterance follows the arrest of a traditional surgeon, Samkelo Mvubu, who has been charged by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) with two counts of murder.

Ngam said he was collecting information and was communicating with the Libode police ahead of the expected arrests of at least

four more bogus surgeons in the region.

Mvubu appeared in the Libode Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday.

It is alleged that Mvubu circumcised two of the initiates that have died this initiation season. The murder cases emanate from the discovery of the two dead bodies by the police at an illegal circumcision school.

According to NPA regional spokesperson, Luxolo Tyali, in addition to the two counts of murder, Mvubu is also facing two counts of contravening the Health Standards Traditional Circumcision Act No 6 of 2001.

Meanwhile, in the same court of the district of Libode, on Thursday, July 03, three male

teenagers (16-17) appeared on charges of unlawful circumcision for circumcising another boy (16).

The young initiate was rescued by the police and is currently in a serious condition in the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha.

The three teenagers were not released into the custody of their parents, but were instead referred to the Bosasa Place of Safety in Mthatha, until their next court appearance on July 10.

Tyali said the NPA was taking these circumcision-related cases very seriously.

“We will vigorously prosecute all circumci-

sion-related cases without fear, favour or prejudice. And where convictions are secured we shall argue for the harshest possible sentences. We appeal to members of the public, especially parents, to be vigilant and to expose these bogus traditional surgeons and nurses,” he said.

AT the time of going to print, 24 initiates have died in the Eastern Cape with at least 131 being hospitalised or kept at rescue centres.

The premier of the Eastern Cape and the MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Fikile Xasa, was expected to address the media yesterday.

Mkhize warns corrupt leaders KHAYA MAGENU ANC Treasury General, Zweli Mkhize, said the ANC should be at the forefront of speaking out against corruption and should be acting as whistle blowers and support all investigations into irregularities.

Mkhize was speaking at the Alfred Nzo memorial lecture at Mount Ayliff Hall last week. He also called for decisive action to be taken to remove all those involved in corruption. “The ANC must set an example of revolutionary morality and ethical leadership as a monument to our heroes, like Al-

fred Nzo, Oliver Tambo, Moses Kotane, Moses Mabhida, Walter Sisulu, Albertina Sisulu and others.

According to him ANC leaders should demonstrate to South Africa that Nelson Mandela’s Legacy is safe with the ANC as legitimate custodian of all the values Madiba had represented,” said Mkhize.

Warning ANC members against playing dirty political games, Mkhize said it was not in their culture and tradition to air dirty laundry in public. He said leaking records of confidential deliberations – often distorted to favour personal points of view – brought the ANC to public ridicule and scorn.

“We must stamp out division. Many instances where divisions appear are not owing to differences of opinions on how to implement the Freedom Charter, but on how to subvert governance by individuals attempting to utilize their official status for personal gain,” said Mkhize.

He described Nzo as a good listener, respecting the opinion of all people, even that of his opposition. Accrding to him Nzo was never intimidated and had the intellectual depth to positively influence people.

“To honour Alfred Nzo today, we must work hard to rebuild the founding values of the African National Congress. We must double our efforts to forge unity and to fight against racism, tribalism and sexism. We need to build a truly caring and compassionate society,” said Mkhize.

The Alfred Nzo District Municipality was named after Nzo who was born and bred in the Thabachicha village in Matatiele.

Alfred Nzo was the longest serving Secretary-General of the ANC. During his tenure, he was sent to various countries including Egypt, India, Zambia, Norway, Tanzania and he had also represented the ANC in the United Nations Assembly.

Together with Oliver Tambo and others, Nzo formed part of the ANC’s backbone, holding down the fort and propagating the party’s struggle while their comrades were imprisoned on Robben Island and in other prisons. Once the ban on the ANC had been lifted and Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990, Nzo returned to South Africa.

Nzo has received the “Order of Friendship Among People, Praesidium of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic’s Supreme Soviet” in 1985, and was also bestowed in 2003, with the “The Order of Luthuli” by former President Thabo Mbeki.

Alfred Nzo’s sister, Nomazotsho Nzo, said she was very happy that her district municipality was still remembering him.

Alfred Nzo District Municipality Deputy Executive Mayor Sixolile Mehlomakhulu said they have decided to put aside June as Alfred Nzo month. They had also put aside some money to produce a documentary on Nzo’s life in partnership with the Ekurhuleni Municipality in Gauteng and Lusaka in Zambia.

No bail for accused in nunmurder case AYANDA MILLISA MADIKIZELA THE State has strongly opposed bail for the two men accused of hijacking and murdering Sister Mary Paul Tacke last month.

Asiphe Ndikinda (22) and Masixole Mdlebe (21) were denied bail in the Mthatha Magistrate’s Court last Friday.

According to their defence team, Ndikinda – who is from Sibangweni in Libode – was previously convicted of robbery in 2010 at Libode and was sentenced with 5 years which were suspended.

The State, however, said the charges were housebreaking and theft and that the accused had no other cases pending against him.

The second accused, Mdlebe from Mqanduli, has a previous conviction of the possession of an unlicensed firearm and he was fined R2500 and six month’s imprisonment, of which three had been suspended.

When the incident occurred, Ndikinda was a student at an FET College in Vosloorus in East Rand.

Jerome Frank Heunis, Chairperson of the Sabelani orphanage home, one of Sister Turke’s charities, said they would want to make sure that the two remain in custody throughout the trial.

“We have made presentations to the National Prosecuting Authority and we are positive that no bail will be granted to the suspects,” said Heunis.

During court proceedings, Mdlebe requested to be removed from the juvenile section in Wellington, and to be held in the main cells, but the magistrate said this was a matter for prison authorities.

The case was postponed to July 9.

Bhisho plans to support troubled municipalities MANDLENKOSI MXENGI OVER the next five years the Eastern Cape government will strengthen its support to several municipalities in the province in an attempt to improve governance and accelerate service delivery.

The provincial government is expected to provide support to several poorly performing municipalities, including Ikhwezi, Inkwankca, Tsolwana, Great Kei, Baviaans, Gariep, Sunday’s River Valley, Koukamma and Nguqushwa.

Some of these municipalities have been getting shocking audit reports from the auditorgeneral due to poor budget spending including wasteful and fruitless expenditure, dysfunctional supply chain management and political infightings which have stalled service delivery.

Eastern Cape premier Phumulo Masaulle announced that his government would strength-

en support to municipalities in an endeavour to improve governance and provision of basic services including provision of bulk water infrastructure and eradication of the bucket system. “Working together with the department of water affairs and sanitation, we will invest over R6-billion in regional bulk water supply projects,” said Masualle.

These include the R879-million Ndlambe regional bulk water supply project, R258-million Xhorha East water project, R264-million Mncwasa water project, R278-million Mbizana regional bulk water supply, R400-million KSD bulk water project and the R800-million Chris Hani cluster bulk water projects.

Newly appointed cooperative governance and traditional affairs MEC Fikile Xasa has welcomed Masualle’s commitment to support municipalities, especially those who fail to provide essential services to the people.

“Supporting local government is one of the ruling party’s manifesto priorities and our aim is to stabilize all our municipalities. I have already visited some municipalities in the province and now municipal leadership understands that we want municipalities to take responsibility and be accountable in order to fast-track service delivery,” said Xasa.

Xasa, however, raised serious concerns over continued political infighting and incompetent individuals employed in senior and critical positions in municipalities, adding that these would destabilize municipal councils and affect service delivery.

The ANC in the province also welcomed Masualle’s commitment to intervene and support ailing municipalities.

NDAMASE Senior secondary school in Ngqeleni is running its winter school programme without proper sanitation or security.

This came to light at an inter-governmental relations indaba in Mthatha last week. Spokesperson for the Department of Education, Malibongwe Mtima, said the department was aware of the matter and it was being addressed.

“A team from the district visited the school to assess the conditions and a service provider had been appointed to rectify

the problem of sanitation at Ndamase,” said Mtima.

He added that they hoped the situation would be rectified by next week.

The Secretary of the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union, Ngqeleni branch, Wonga Nzamela, said the issue of sanitation in rural schools in general was a matter of concern.

“It is a big challenge, especially where schools are still operating in mud structures,” said Nzamela.

He further said some school toilets were in a very poor state, forcing learners to go into the bush, which was both unhygienic and unsafe.

This centre accommodates about 40 people, including the disabled, orphans and vulnerable children.

Last week, Masomelele, in partnership with Woolworths, brought smiles to the elderly by donating clothes to keep them warm this winter.

The co-founder of the centre, Nolusapho Samson, said she had decided to establish the centre to take care of the homeless and the abused in this impoverished area.

“I invited the elderly to the centre in order for them to share their difficulties and to feel loved,” said Samson. She said four care givers were feeding and caring for the people here. She had called the government to assist with building a huge centre for the elderly people in the area. “Our chief has already allocated land for the centre and a garden to cultivate and feed our people, but we don’t have money to start the project.” Mamelele said they were working hand in hand with the 7th Day Adventist Church which was providing spiritual motivation to the elderly and also teaching life skills to the children. “They take our children to different camps and teach them. It does not end there, since they also provide food and clothes for them,” said Samson.

UMTATA CHILD ABUSE RESOURCE CENTRE : CHILD SUPPORT GRANTS NOT FOR PARENTS

Grants misuse is rife in the OR Tambo region NOKHWEZI MTANGAYI AND SIXOLILE SITHELO THE Republic of South Africa has an obligation of making sure that its children are protected and their rights realised.

South Africa is a developing country and a grants system was introduced to support children whose parents were not working, or were earning very little. These Social grants

are for every child born in the country with a South African birth certificate Parents are custodians of the grant. The Umtata Child Abuse Resource Centre had discovered a lot of social grants misuse within the OR Tambo District Municipality.

Some parents are misusing grants by not providing for their children. It had been found that many young mothers lack parenting skills. They desert their children, at times leaving them behind with grandparents with-

out grant cards. Recorded misuse of grants by the UCARC monthly reports, from January to June, paint a gloomy picture.

It had been discovered that not only Child Support Grants are being misused, but all types of grants, including foster care grants, meant for a child’s education and his/her wellbeing. If one is appointed to apply for a foster care grant, that does not mean it is his/ her personal money, it is the child’s money, but because the child is too young to receive

and administer the money, the adult should act on behalf of and in the best interest of the child.

Types of grants: • Old age grant – R1 3500 • Care Dependency Grant – R1 350 • Foster Care Grant – R830 • Child Support Grant – R310 For more information contact the UCARC offices at 0 047 531 1103 or visit ucarc@intekom.co.za

EXPRESS ON WHEELS: GERRY GERICKE

Hyundai Getz revived as Grand i10 GERALD STEPHEN GERICKE WE first encountered the Hyundai Getz in January 2006 at the launch in Johannesburg.

The enormously popular Getz was discontinued about 4 years ago after successfully putting the Korean car brand on the map.

Although the all-new Grand i10 has the potential to fill the shoes of its forerunner, the Koreans chose to discard the name “Getz” and substitute the name Grand i10.

This new model will slot in between the i10 and the i20. Basically the Grand i10 is an i10 on steroids, being 180mm longer, 65mm wider and with a slightly lower roofline (20mm) aiding the drag coefficient.

Although quite heavily affected by the weakening rand, Hyundai sales continue to improve from their 7 overseas plants in Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, India, Russia, Turkey and USA. Hyundai is now 5th in the world with just over 4 million units sold.

They are extremely proud of their motorsport achievements, making their mark internationally in the WRC. Their i20 has just recorded its first win in the Rallye Antibes.

It is the policy of Hyundai to provide many features as standard in their cars. Unlike other manufacturers who increase the price dramatically with the cost of “optional” extras, Hyundai cars are packed with electronic features which all add up to making travelling a pleasure. Tipping the scales at a shade over 1051 kg provides the i10 with the little 1,250 cm3 engine more than enough performance to be exciting. The little i10 comes standard with front disc brakes and rear drums with ABS and EBD. We are happy to report that the large boot contains a full-size spare; essential in South Africa.

Inside the cockpit, the steering wheel has

satellite controls for the sound system and onboard computer. Hyundai has always provided a very nice instrument layout, easy to operate and understand. A comprehensive on-board trip computer is part of the package. The air conditioner is equipped with an anti-bacterial pollen filter. The increased length has resulted in plenty of extra legroom front and rear. Seats are cloth-covered and very comfortable with ample adjustment.

Seat back pockets are standard. Side mirrors also have indicators and front fog lights are standard.

On the open road the little 1250 cm3 engine is incredibly impressive, able to tackle most hills without straining the engine or having

to change down through the gears which would only worsen fuel consumption. Handling is superbly predictable whilst the cockpit is relatively quiet inside. The 5-speed gearbox is slick with the ratios evenly spaced to extract the best performance from the free revving engine. We unfortunately never got to test drive the 4-speed automatic gearbox, but previous encounters with the Hyundai auto gearbox revealed it to be smooth and competent at the time.

VERDICT Again, the electric motor driven steering takes a little getting used to, but it is standard in most cars in this segment nowadays. The

He is crazy about his sugar mama Mmm, it means the boy loves his sugar mama and he is not shy even in public places.

Hayi, shame that boy was not shy for his sugar mama siyancoma.

Okay guys, here is a story there is a guy whom we used to meet in the company of an old woman in UTA. Initially we thought she was his mother but recently we found the truth.

The guy was in Spar which is situated near the railway station in UTA. Hey, they were holding hands touching each other everywhere and they were not worried about people watching in the supermarket.

They were even kissing each other in front of the tellers when they were paying for their items and bekubooncam ncee bodwa abathengiweyo.

Bekwenze njani bethuna? Uthi mhlawumbe bekungekho mali ibingenele umagriza lo?

Kaloku sibone that they were in love even the sugar mom ebengazibekanga phantsi enqabula naye futhi ubona ukuba ufuna ukuluhlaba lingene (ulwimi).

I wonder where are the men who are at her age e-abuser’ umntwana nje? Mara sidlala ngogogo because ezi ntwana are saying the girls of their age don’t gratify them whereas sugar mums, they have that warmth and tender care yaye badinwa yile ndlela.

Shame, bangafane babe-warm, mara mna Gesh I will never allow my boys Fifaman if not Bongomafin being used by the old lady who is even older than me.

I wonder uyakutshintsha nini?

Uyazi sometimes uye uphatheke kabuhlungu xa ubona umntu omdala onabantwana acting irresponsible kanti lona ixesha liyahamba alimanga nabantwana bayakhula and you are their role model.

Kaloku bafethu zonke izinto zinexesha lazo apha ebomin and kufanele uzenze ugqithe udedele abezayo. Injalo moss.

Awuhlali kwezi zinto as usazi ukuba nakwi adolescent stage wafika wegqitha, njani ngoku ukuba kube khona ongazukugqitha kuzo?

Nathi bantwabam sajujuma sagqitha sadedela abanye.

Ayive isitsho njalo na nengoma kwezi ndawo zobumnandi? Kuyakwayintoni ngoku makwedini najikeleza okwenja ifuna ukulala?

“Uvelaphi Bongi?” Kubuza uGesh. “YHOO! Chomie ndivela kojujuma oko kwangoLwesihlanu bhuti,” utsho and unamabhongo ngale nto yakhe.

Shame, kunzima. Kuyacaca ukuba nanngona emanzi kukunxila nje kona ikhona into emxelelayo ukuba yi-Monday kuyaphangelwa

Perhaps he blew his money on booze Did you meet a person who used to be a ‘big shot’ but now he/she is down and out?

Kaloku there is this chap who used to spend too much money on booze, drinking expensive whiskies.

I remember one day in Mbuqe butchery we were forced to wait until they finished to braai their meat because they occupied the entire braaing area and they were carrying, dumpies of beers, ciders and bottles of whiskies.

Let alone their company of beautiful ladies and be careful those ladies of the night can ruin your wealth if ungaphika nabo.

Since the guy had money he was drinking as if there is no tomorrow and it may happen there would be no money in that tomorrow.

He forgot one thing that in life there is always a tomorrow but the problem no one knows what it will be carrying for him/her.

Oh!! Shame kwathi kanti this ‘big shot’ his tomorrow will bring penniless, poor and poverty. That is life.

Listen attentively, when God offers you something safeguard it and use it wisely and ensure it will sustain you even in the near future because you will never know what tomorrow entails for you.

Mfethu, that man now inxiba ophaqa aba batshiphu kuthiwa ngamabhamfoqo bazinxityelwa ngala ma-timer asezilalini no more omega sandals and other expensive shoes.

Where is the money?

He spent it on booze and girls. He was even asking uGesh to offer him a job of assisting in distributing the paper but not here in UTA, because he feared that his old friends at ebumnandini will laugh at him when they see him in the streets of UTA selling the papers if not distributing free.

OW! Life.

Ndase ndakhumbula uGudl’abatshakazi abanemali, xa wayesithi yena ufuna aqale azi ilizwe phambi kokuba limazi yena.

Try to find ukuba what he was trying to say mara ise ingathi uthi ungangaqali ngokuduma waziwe ezweni ugqibele ngokudla umhlaba.

Legends’ corner MONTY Whiteboy Jantjies, who participated in athletics, rugby and boxing during his sporting career, spent some time with Express reporter, Simbongile Mdledle, in the Legends’ Corner.

Out the three codes, Jantjies excelled in boxing, in which he became a border champion, later reaching the South African championship in the amateur division.

Jantjies was born in the Mdantsane Township, regarded as “the home of boxing in South Africa”.

“I grew up in a place where one had to protect oneself with one’s fists. My involvement in sport started in grade 5. I never became a professional, because I sustained a head injury, forcing me to quit boxing,” said Jantjies.

He mentioned Ayanda Barnabas and Mthobeli Mhlophe as opponents who had given him sleepless nights. After hanging up his boxing gloves, Jantjies kept being involved with the development of the sport.

He moved from East London to Coffee Bay where he guided and trained Goodman Dywili, who became African Baby Champion in the OR Tambo region. “I am proud about what I have achieved with that boy.”

Jantjies said things were not always easy during the Apartheid years. “It was very difficult during Apartheid, because there were two amateur bodies, one for blacks and one for whites. One had to fight hundreds of fights before becoming a professional and there were challenges with a lack of equipment back then.”

Jantjies said the youth should put their

minds and energy into sport and education.

“If they do this, they will never regret it.”

Jantjies is an educator at the Fairfield Junior Secondary School in Mthatha. He is happily married and blessed with two boys. Although he spends most of his time in Mthatha, he still visits Mdantsane during the holidays.

In his spare time he loves to read, to run and to watch boxing.
