EASTERN Cape police commissioner Lieu-tenant-General Celiwe Binta has promised toreview police personnel in Mhlontlo munici-pality after communities raised concernsabout growing stock theft.
Binta was responding to the concerns ofKroza residents in Qumbu during an imbizoheld at Matiwane Great Place.
The area has a long history of stock theftbut Binta said the problem could be foughtwith the help of the communities.
“The issue of stock theft is huge in this areaand we decided in 2011 to have two stock theftunits here.
“We hear the cries of the people and we willlook at the number of police in Mhlontlo andreview our personnel and see how we cantackle this issue,” Binta said.
Community members in Mhlontlo saidstock theft was the main crime affectingmany communities in the area.
They also claimed there was a lack of po-lice visibility to help combat this crime.
Cooperative Governance MEC Fikile Xa-sa, Hawks head Lieutenant-General Mthan-dazo Ntlemeza and provincial head Major-General Nyameko Nogwanya were some ofthe high-ranking officials who attended thepolice and community engagement on servi-ces.
“Police alone cannot look after each andevery homestead. What is important is thatpeople have to realise how we can work witheach other,” said Binta.
Xasa said the Eastern Cape had the highestnumber of stock thefts in the country andspecial methods need to be applied to fightthis particular crime.
“As government we listened to every con-cern raised about stock theft and we promiseto act on the crime,” Xasa said.
He said that every stakeholder needed tosit down and engage with communities ontackling stock theft in the Amampondomisearea.

ANOTHER protest might be on thecards for Walter Sisulu University’soutsourced workers.
The “Outsourced Must Fall” move-ment met with activist Vusi Mahlanguin Mthatha two weeks ago.
A number of critical issues arose inthe meeting, the main one being the 24employees who are still out of employ-ment despite an agreement by all in-volvedstakeholdersthattheyshouldgoback to work.
The affected workers are from Xho-
bani Security Services and Red AlertCleaning.
Mahlangu said the meeting with out-sourced WSU workers had been ex-tended to all WSU campuses – Mthatha,Queenstown, Butterworth and EastLondon.
He said there was dishonesty on theside of the WSU management and theworkers also felt betrayed by Nehawuin the process that had led to the tempo-rary suspension of the strike on April30.
“It was agreed that no worker wouldbe victimised for participation in thestrike action,” he said.
“It has since been noted that 24 work-ers have not been allowed to go back towork and this is strange because theyhave not been served with suspensionor dismissal letters.
“Workers resolved to petition formanagement and service providers toreinstate workers or the protest will re-sume.”
Mahlangu promised that the protestwould continue until victory was at-tained and outsourcing ended.
He said workers at all universitycampuses had reaffirmed their com-mitment to fight despite the many chal-lenges they faced.

NOWETHU Gqwetha says there is no wayshe is moving out of her RDP house eventhough her life is being threatened by peo-ple wanting to take possession of her home.
Last week the house was broken into,doors were kicked and broken and her bed
and her R2 000 grocery money were stolen.The culprits are allegedly people who
want her out of the house, which had beenoccupied by a man who claimed to havebought it.She said the man was known to her and
owned a home in Msobomvu township.He said he had bought the house for busi-
ness purposes even though the houses
were built for the less fortunate.Gqwetha fought for months for her
home. She had been sleeping outside whilethe man claimed ownership of the house,which is registered in her name.When she did not give up her fight, com-
munity members came to her aid andmoved her into her home by force.She said the people who had sold the
house were now threatening her life asmore people had come forward to demandtheir houses and she was said to have start-ed the whole thing.“They say I started this whole thing of
people demanding to move into their hous-es and now they want to makemy life hell,”she said.“But this is my house and I am not going
anywhere even though I’m in danger.“I’m depending on the assistance of the
neighbours for my safety.”Mnquma mayor Baba Ganjana said he
condemned the alleged illegal eviction oflawful beneficiaries and the alleged vio-lent conduct between those involved. Heurged people to resolve issues amicablywithout endangering others.
) Express has enquired from the Depart-ment of Human Settlements on who therightful owner of the house is. At time ofgoing to print no answer has been re-ceived.

SPORT, Recreation, Arts and Culture MECPemmy Majodina says she is satisfied withthe investment made to uplift Eastern Capecrafters.
She accompanied Deputy Arts and CultureMinister Rejoice Mabudafhasi to Butter-worth on a visit to crafters who received fund-ing from the national Department of Arts andCulture.
In April last year R1-million was pledged bythe deputy minister to help alleviate the diffi-
culties Eastern Cape crafters face.The amount was equally distributed in all
eight district municipalities.Majodina said crafters did not have an easy
time with competition from big businessesand needed all the help they could get.
“This is not just about the department,” shesaid.
“They need to have a place to work and mar-ket their products.
“They have the skills and they are advanc-ing our tradition.
“Crafters just need the support to displaytheir work.
“We have lots of shops that sell fake mer-chandise, which is a loss to our crafters.These are some of the challenges we want toaddress and we want to give them support toexploit the markets,” Majodina said.
Mabudafhasi said she was proud of thework and progress shown by crafters of Ama-thole and asked the current beneficiaries ofgovernment support to pass on their skills tothe youth of the district.
She said many people should take a lessonfrom the crafters and, instead of asking to befed by the government, take the initiative tomake something for themselves and govern-
ment funding would be there for support.Crafters in the Amathole district munici-
pality say that previously opportunities wentonly to those who were politically connected,but this is changing because of the funds in-jected by the department.
Walking stick designer Bongani Kilanifrom Centane says even though he has not yetdirectly benefited he can see the changebrought about by the department through thefunding support.
He says he has been selling his products onthe streets of Butterworth and Centane andfeels more opportunities now await him.

SASOL has allocated more than R500 000 tothe University of Fort Hare to help the insti-tution to conduct basic research in selectedthematic areas of strategic interest to Sasol.
This will not only benefit Sasol, but alsocontribute to strengthening the university’scompetencies in science and engineering.
Sasol has contributed more than R200-mil-lion towards university research initiativessince the inception of its university supportprogramme in 2005.
In addition to procuring essential equip-ment and facilitating the exchange of knowl-edge and expertise between local and interna-tional experts, the funding has also served tosupport young academics to become estab-lished researchers, filling the scarce skills
gap identified by the National ResearchFoundation.
Last September, in a first for South Africancorporates, Sasol issued an open call for re-search proposals to all South African univer-sities and universities of technology. Morethan 200 submissions were received, and ofthese 39 have been selected, among them theUniversity of Fort Hare.
A striking feature of the successful appli-cants was the diversity and quality of theirproposals, said Dr Thulani Dlamini, vice-president: strategic research and technology,at the centre for innovation and business im-pact at Sasol.
“That the research grants were awarded ona highly competitive basis also shows that Af-
rican researchers at historically black uni-versities can hold their own against their oth-er well-resourced counterparts,” he added.
Beneficiaries of the research grants in-clude the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan,KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, North West,Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Johannesburg,Free State and Pretoria universities, as wellas the Vaal University of Technology.
The objective of Sasol’s university supportprogramme is to help South Africa migratetowards becoming a high-end skills andknowledge economy.
This is in line with Sasol’s commitment tothe country, which it says continues to be un-wavering even in the current macro-econom-ic climate.

AFTER battling for many years tofind employment, Mila Panduva de-cided he must start something onhis own to make an income as thechances of getting a job looked veryslim.
He sat downwith four friends anddiscussed how they could make anincome.They cameupwith the idea to pro-
duce vegetables and sell them.The Ngqamakhwe-born Panduva
saidheandhis teamhadestablishedtheMlla FarmingPrimaryCoopera-tive Limited inMbuqe Extension inMthatha.“We did research to get informa-
tion about the vacant land inMbuqeand we heard that it belonged to theDepartment of Public Works,” hesaid.“We approached Public Works.
They instructed us to write a pro-posal and we managed to get onehectare of land.”He said they had started the busi-
ness with only R2 000 capital and ithad been challenging because withthat amount they had onlymanagedto buy fence poles.“I had R1 200 in my account and
one of my friends had R800, but wetold ourselves that what we wereplanning we were going to do, nomatter how.”Hesaid theyhadbeen forced tobeg
their parents for the additionalamount to complete the fencing.“We started with vegetables like
potatoesandpumpkinsbecause theydon’t need much water as we had no
money to buy a machine to supplywater for them.“With the money we got from sell-
ing the first harvest, we managed tobuy something to supply water andwe then started to plant all types ofvegetables which needed more wa-ter,” he said.Mlla Farming Primary Coopera-
tive Limited now plants about threehectares of land in Mbuqe Exten-sion. And the five executive mem-bers or founders can support them-selves. They are supported by localbusinesspeoplewho place big ordersand by caterers around Mthatha.The cooperative also now employs
10 people.
“Now we can afford to buy every-thing we need and pay rent withoutbegging from our parents as was thecase before,” Panduva said.“We are also in the process of get-
ting 40 hectares of land from theNkwa-Nonkobe community and inthat project we will hire the localyouth,” he said.
The Department of Social Devel-opment has also recently donatedR250 000 to this youth initiative.“We really appreciate the assist-
ance,” Panduva said.“It will definitely bring change
and we will improve a lot, as well asmanage to face some other challen-ges which still exist in the project.”Among the challenges were the
transportation of their products,which was very expensive as theydepend on hiring transport, andduring cultivation they had to hiretractors, which also cost them a lot.He also mentioned water charges
and the high rent they had to pay tothe municipality, with the resultthat they were in arrears.Social Development MEC Nancy
Sihlwayi promised to engage themunicipality, the department in-volved and officials to assist theproject overcome that challenge.Sihlwayi was impressed with
what she saw during her visit to theproject last Tuesday.“What impresses me a lot is the
participation of the youth in agri-culture, which proves that there islife even if you did not have the op-portunity to get a decent educationor even to go to school.“This is remarkable and a bright
future awaits the nation if there areyoung peoplewhoprefer to join agri-culture.”
She urged municipalities and lo-cal agricultural practitioners to sup-port such initiatives started byyoung people and said her depart-ment would monitor their progressto ensure that they became success-ful and sustainable.

ANElliotdale singer is tryingto tell black people about theimportance of going back totheir roots in order to restoreand maintain their dignity.
Sinovuyo Dimanda singsAfro Pop and in most of hersongs she uses her mothertongue, Xhosa. The messagein all her songs is clear andstraightforward – narratingthe importance of keepingone’s culture rather than pre-ferring Western civilization.The songs also elaborate on
the danger of discardingyourroots.The singer has been con-
veying these messagesthrough music since 2014.She said it was sad to see
people running away fromtheir customs.“We don’t understand our
customs and that is why ev-erything is falling apart. It islike we are not living in ourcountry of birth,” she said.Sinovuyo stressed that
there was no need for blackpeople to rush toWestern civi-lization and forget about theirculture and customs.“In mymusic I am trying to
bring past life back to thepresent life because thingshave changed and we haveforgotten about our roots.“That’s why in my songs I
always appeal to people toconsider the importance ofadhering to their culture, inparticular the young people.“If youdon’t knowyour cul-
ture, you don’t know whereare you coming from and
where you are going to.”Sinovuyo has already re-
leased songs like MotherlessChild, which she released on-line in 2014.Her most recent album,
which has 15 songs, was re-leased on May 28 this year.Sinovuyo has also released
online a red-hot song calledIgqumbo yakwaNtu.She has worked with pro-
ducers like Odwa Khalazana,Zolani Mazinyo, AvuyileTshangani, Andile Phuthu-ma, Onazo Luvela and PalesaNtsalo, all from the 21Recordsstudio in Mthatha.Her manager, Siyanda
“Sensitive” Xulaba said Sino-vuyo was their golden child,who needed to have an oppor-tunity or exposure to showher talent and become thegolden child of South Africa.“She has talent that will
make South Africa and theworld crazy about her.”

WELL-KNOWNpriests and radiopersonalities in theEastern Cape havejoinedhands in abidto assist youngwomen, especiallyin rural schools,who are battling tobuy sanitary towelsbecause of their pov-erty.
Tshepo Machaeaof Ibandla Lase-Mthini and MhloboWenene presenterthe Reverend Mzuk-isi Faleni have de-cided to come to-gether to promotethis campaign.
Machaea said: “Ihave noted withdeep concern thatmany young ladies,especially in the ru-ral schools of theEastern Cape, aresuffering.
“On Thursday Imet with one of thepupils from Lusikis-iki, brought tomebya female teacher.
“The pupil toldher story, whichwas and is stillheartbreaking.
“Among otherthings that she men-tioned was that attimes as a grade 12pupil she cannot goto school during hermenstruation peri-od because she doesnot have any meansto afford sanitarytowels,” Machaeasaid.
He said it hadtouched him whenthe girl said: “I losemy confidence anddignity during myperiod because oth-er pupils laugh atme as I am using pie-ces of cloth madefrom napkins aspads.”
Machaea called oneveryone to contri-bute to the “OneMonth, One MillionSanitary Towels”campaign.
“We expect to col-lect at least a millionsanitary towels bythe end of June andthey will be handedover to needyschools through theoffice of theORTam-bo mayor.
“We would lovethat people under-stand that we needto break the stringsof culture and reli-gion, which compro-mise our responsi-bilities. If you are awoman, but youshare the same feel-ing, you can contrib-ute, but we encour-age that you use aman to buy or deli-ver them.
“I am pleading toall men to share thisas much as possi-ble,” he said.

guys who were previously governmentministers.You will find difficult to come close to
them during their tenure, but once they areno longer ministers orMECs we spend timetogether at parties and traditional ceremo-nies with no bodyguards.Then you ask yourself where the enemies
are now that they are no longer ministersor MECs.We were in KwaBhaca with a guy who
used to be an MEC in the province.Besisela naye umqombothi sisenza imid-
lalo yesiNtu mara simana ukuzibuza uku-ba lo mfo njengokuba wawubona ngeezith-uthi ezilayita luhlaza ukuba ukhona elaliniand ungafane umbone phakathi kwabantuxa ufuna ukuthetha naye ngamanye amaxe-sha ude uqale udibane nomntu ozokunikai-authority to talk to him. WOW!!Kuyadlalwa ngezimali zethu kuba kalo-

I wonder what happened to the peoplewho are their same age?
We really don’t understand what is hap-pening to this beautiful lady South Africa.I wonder what these boys are going to
say? Ja, we don’t know where are we goingto hide our cute young boys who are alwayshunted down by these old ladies, whoseproblem we don’t know.We were in a queue at the Mthatha Town
hall when an old lady ebebelesele intwanaibiyokufuna incwadi kaceba ithunyelwasisikolo. Ibengathi intwana itshona ngaphawalapha lo mama efuna i-number yayo.Kuyatsho shame ukuba yintwana yasezi-
lalini ayikayazi le nto yala magriza kubaif bekungala seyazi le nto ebezakumnika lu-la.Ithe naxa seyiphuma le ntwana seyigqib-
ile le nto ibiyenza wayilandela lo mamaufuna le number. Kanti yi-number ibithenina le kulo sisi?Uncame washiya abantu kwi-queue ibisi-
za kuye waphuthuma le ntwana. De yasini-ka umdla ngoku le nto. Salandela le ntwanabakohlukana.Ntwana kanti lo sisi ufuna ntoni kuwe.
Iyaphendula intwana ithini le sistery ifunai-number yam and ufuna sithandane.Wow!! Kwanzima ezweni sokhile bayephikanti oontanga yakhe waleqana nabantwa-na. I wonder kwenzeka ntoni apha? Marakemasithule sijonge kuba iyasinceda thinale nto yezi nto zenzekayo sitsho sibe nezin-

Iitakalane notywala not a good matchWOO!! Baze babancinane bo. We always
feel bad about a situation that we experi-ence on our daily basis.And sometimes you ask yourself where
this beautiful land is going to because ourgeneration, if not our children, adoptedwrong things and they swept into a deeppool of alcohol and other things whichchanged their minds.We were driving our Turu-turu to a braai
in chesa nyama when we saw very younggirls ebetha ngeengudu futhi ubona njeukuthi asela akabethelwa nangu 1. Oh!!!Abantrwabethu and ubuso bekusitsho njeukuba ubuthongo akwaziwa ku-groovekwade kwasa.I wonder siye sithi itakalane ezingaka xa
