THE Kokstad Municipality had ahigh-level intervention yesterdayamid ongoing labour unrest.

KwaZulu-NatalMECforCo-operativeGovernance and Traditional Affairs(Cogta) Nomusa Dube-Ncube visited themunicipality on Tuesday.

Theunrest isaresultofconcernsfromthe South African Municipal Workers(Samwu) members that the council ad-ministration was being micromanagedand that the administration does notexercise its rights to make decisions onmatters relating to workers.

Employees demand that the munici-pal leadership be removed because“councillors are taking technical deci-sions which should be taken by munici-pal managers”.

Dube-Ncube dispatched a team of of-ficials to investigate the concernsby em-ployees, residents and stakeholders.

“Our principal concern with regardsto volatility in the Kokstad municipalityhas to do with its potential impact onservice delivery. Our team is already onsite, assessing the local challenges andspecifically thestateofmunicipal financ-es and the legitimacy of recent councildecisions in this regard,” she said.

Dube-Ncube said they will decide on

an appropriate course of action onthe basis of the assessment.

“We also note the protest actionbymanagementwithinthemunici-pality.Whilewerespecttherightsofall citizens to engage in such actionsas enshrined in our Constitution, weconsistently call onall parties to settletheirdifferencesspeedilysothatserv-ice delivery does not suffer.”

FEVERWinter hits shack dwellers hard>> ‘Sometimes I wake up and my twins are freezing because their blanket is full of holes’

KHAYA MAGENU>>khaya.magenu@feveronline.co.za

FREEZING winter weather is abad and painful time for shackdwellersasamassivecold front

hit this week.With temperatures going down to

as low as five degrees last Sunday,Marikana shack dwellers in Kokstadare doing everything to make surethey survive.

On Tuesday shack dwellersstruggled tobuildshacksoutof corru-gated iron, cardboard, metal, old

woodandplastic,putting heavyrockson the roof to prevent gusting windblowing their shacks away.

Theywalk longdistances to buy orcollectwood fromtheveld, and if theycan’t afford to buy wood they are indanger of freezing.

To be poor in Marikana is a livingdeath, but shack dwellers have nochoice as theydonot havewater, tapsor toilets or jobs.

Phumza Banjwa, a resident of thecontroversial Marikana, describedthe situation, saying she gave birth totwins in the shack and says it’s very

difficult to survive.“Sometimes I wake up during the

night and my twins are freezing be-cause theirblanket is fullofholes,andthey are hungry because we havenothing to eat.”

“Some families don’t have bedsand sleep on the floor on a mat withtheirbabies.Somechildrenweartornclothes and are freezing all the time.”

“I need help because my childrencan’t live in this shack that is full ofholes.”

Another resident, MlungiseleliMdlovuzana said he is from

Ntabankulu in the Eastern Cape andlives in a shack because he doesn’thave money.

“I liveintheshackbecauseIamun-employed.

“Life is not easy for us to survive.Idon’t like living inashack,but Idon’thave anywhere else to go,” he said.

He said he believes that one dayGodwillprovidehimwithadecent jobandhewill be able towalk away frompoverty.

He told the Fever they are waitingfor the government to build decenthouses for them.

Marikana residents invaded thelandbelongingtotheGreaterKokstadMunicipality at the beginning of theyear, illegally setting up their shackson the periphery of Tafeni area anddrawing the wrath of municipality,who in the past had taken shackdwellers to the high court.

They say they have nowhere elsetogoandarewaitingforanswersfromthe municipality to build houses forthem.

Communitymembers believe thatgrants alone are not the solution topoverty or their situation.

WARM greetings to all readers of this viewpoint.Inauguration of Morena Theko LebenyaIt is in the Basotho culture that a chief must be

formally inaugurated in order for him to rule his peo­ple. The Department of Local Government & Tradi­tional Affairs, Matatiele Local Municipality and Ba­koena royal family at Fobane, under the MangolongAdministration Area in Matatiele, held an inaugura­tion ceremony of Morena Theko Lebenya, a memberof the Matatiele Local Municipality Council.

In his welcoming remarks Chief Lebenya said withpride that it is in their culture as Basotho and Bakoenato honour and respect chiefs, he referred them as“sons of the soil”.

“We are gathered here today to formally inaugu­rate our younger brother, son, to the rightful throneof headmanship,” said Lebenya.

The new chief is taking the throne after his fatherdied five years back. However, before the formal inau­guration it is said that Morena Ntoko Lebenya, alsoa family member, was requested by the Bakoena royalfamily to act on behalf of Morena Theko as he wasyoung and busy with his studies.

Giving messages of support, Mzamane pleadedwith the community of Mangolong and Mabenyengarea to work with their chief and show respect as heis young and may need guidance from his elders.

The speaker of Matatiele Local Municipality Coun­cil, Cllr Jackie Bosman­Magangana appreciated thegood working relations with Matatiele traditionalleaders and said their contribution and participationin local government is noted with appreciation. Shefurther said that Matatiele Local Municipality is oneof the municipalities that has traditional leader repre­

sentatives in council. She wished him well as he takesover the throne.

As he anointed as the new chief, Reverend Qhalistressed on his good behaviour in leading by exampleto his people, and the youth in particular.

In his acceptance speech, Lebenya extended aword of gratitude to his elders for believing in him andalso for allowing him the opportunity of ruling thepeople of the Mangolong administration Aarea. Heasked the community to support him during his ruling.

Basotho showed off their traditional dances andgames with pride as part of educating the new gener­ation saying that they must be taught about their cul­ture and protect it. Performance of local traditionalgroups left attendees entertained especially guestsfrom Germany and Scotland. It was indeed a ceremo­ny to witness especially nowadays when many peoplehave lost their tradition.

The ceremony was graced by the Eastern Cape De­partment of Local Government & Traditional Affairs,Matatiele Local Municipality Speaker and Councillors,traditional leaders from all Ma­Benyeng traditionalcouncils and its communities.

Migration support officeThe migration support office reminds foreign na­

tionals that they have to register with the office. Theyare requested to come to the office to fill in their de­tails on registration forms or they can access themthrough the Community Development Workers (CD­Ws) in the wards they reside in.

SINCERE greetings to the community of Harry GwalaDistrict particularly to the one of the beloved Umzim­khulu.

pupils and students to have their academic break. Thereality is that due to the vision instilled into the mindsof these future leaders there is no rest for them, butcontinuity of learning as winter schools become themost relevant gathering for these future leaders.

In order tofurther improveacademic results teach­ers have committed to better the lives of South Afri­cans by availing themselves in their respectiveschools. We would like to wish you all the best luck.

Public service weekIt is now a common practice that all South Africans

are in full understanding about the concept of publicservice. It is also during this week that everyone iscalled to do extraordinary things to better the livesof the needy.

Illegal car washing continuesWE are writing to you in absolute desperation now.

It has been more than two months that we haverequested assistance in the matter of illegal carwashing opposite our car wash business inHawthorne Street, yet it appears that nothing at allhas been done as the people concerned continue toharass customers every day.

As ratepayers of this town, businesses are not al­lowed to display any items on the pavement outsideour stores, but these people continue to ply their tradeby intimidating clients and staff alike and the powersthat be appear to turn a blind eye.

Enough is enough.

I can assure you that this area is going to turn intoa mini­war zone and we will lay the blame squarelyon the shoulders of those from whom we have re­quested, and not received, assistance.

Wereportedastabbingincidentsomemonthsagoand advise that another stabbing incident occurredlast week. This is completely unacceptable and I as­sure you that if nothing is done and the illegal personsare not dealt with by the end of this week, we willseek legal advice and take the matter further.

I trust that you will see the urgency required hereand deal with it immediately.

Editorial commentMedia’s role in societyTHE media have in the past few weeks beenaccused of intentionally reporting negativelyabout the Greater Kokstad Municipality, sothe Fever decided to look at what the role ofthe media is.

The media’s role is to report accurately,honestly and without bias, the facts of anygiven situation, be it at local, national andinternational levels.

The media can also be part of peace-building and mending bridges in certain cir-cumstances.

Newspapers are cited as being the mostrelied-upon source of information regarding

crime, tax, national and local governmentactivities, schools, politics, jobs, communityand neighbourhood events, arts, zoning, so-cial services, and real estate and housing, toname a few issues.

So with the intervention in GKM ofNomusa Dube- Ncube, MEC for Cogta, it isclear that the media’s reporting on the crisishas come with results.

The truth is, if you are in a position ofpower and you don’t perform as per yourmandate, you are likely to influence negativereporting from the media, whose mandate isto report the facts.

NTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

AYOUNGShayamoyamanis in-spiring many by living hispassion.

Malwande Zungula (23) has hisownrecordingstudiowheremanyas-piringartistsnowrecord theirmusic.Malwande started with idea ofowningastudio in2008whenhewasgiven an old keyboard by his neigh-bour.

“I always had an interest inmusicsowhen I got the keyboard it gavemethe idea of owning my own studio.”

He said hismother noticed that hehad a passion for music and boughthim a new keyboard.

“I started very young, peoplewould record by earphone, I thenstartedsavingmoneytobuysoftware,computers and microphones and itgrew to be the Lwandez Productionsyou see now.”

Even though LwandezProductions is a modest studio it hasrecorded a number of local artists in-cluding hip-hop groups KSDK,Dinangwe Boys, Hustle Gang, andothers.

Malwande said artists come from

Bizana, Mount Frere, Umzimkhulu,Mthatha, Flagstaff and Mount Ayliff.

“I started recording music forpeople only, but now I also do wed-ding, funeral and party videos.”

“The money I get from the

company helpsme a lot because I amotherwise unemployed.”

Hesaidoneof theexciting times inthe studio was when gospel artistSifisoNcwane recordeda songwithalocal group in his studio.

“Some of the highlights of owningastudioiswhenfamouspeopleaskformy help — for instance people don’tknowthat IproducedNakaMjwentruDVDs by Nomakhisimsi,” he said.

Malwande encouraged youngpeople to make things happen forthemselves.

“Weall know that there is noworkin our country, so the clever thing todo now is to find out our talents andmake them work.”

Hesaiditwasnoteasytogetwherehe is today.

“I knocked on many doors askingfor funding. Iwouldpresentmy ideasandpeoplewouldpromisetohelpme,but theydidn’t, so Idecided todo it onmy own,” he said.

His mother Ndileka Zungula saidshe is very happy with what her sonis doing because his “career” pre-vents him from getting involved withcrime and drugs.

Mawande said he wants his busi-ness to grow.

Fund optionsfor businessstart­upWHENstartingabusiness,moneyis an essential aspect, but a greatidea and well-written businessplan will not work without start-up capital.

Formost entrepreneurs, fund-ing can be key when starting asmall business.

In reality, it is not easy to getfunding. You need to prove your-self first before anyone is able tolend you money.

Inadequate financing is one ofthe reasons why businesses fail.Somecompanies failbecause theystop exploring once they lack themoney to continue.

If you are start-up company,there are a number of funding op-tions available.

• Friends and family are con-sidered a good source if you wanttogetaloan.Theyaremorelenientwhen it comes to interest chargedon amount borrowed. It is how-ever, advisable to create a busi-ness plan tomake the process for-malandcreateasenseof trustandassurance that they will get backtheir money.

• Credit cards are the best toolone should have in order to havea good cash flow. They are thecheapest, with low interest rates,take note though that if they arepoorly managed, they can be ex-pensive.

• Bank loans are anothersource of funding. This is easier toobtainespecially if youarebackedby assets in the form of a house,equipment or property.

• Private lenders are anotheroption when banks or family turnyou down.

They are specialised in thefunding industry and are morewilling to take risks.

Dear Doctor Nash, I have a problem withmymarriage.Myhusbandmarriedmeafterhis first wife died. He has two sons fromthat marriage and now I have to look afterthem. He works in the Eastern Cape andonly comes up for the weekend over schoolholidays. I used to work there too and thatis where we married, but I was transferredhere and he did not come with me, but histwo children did.

Now he has sent up his 16­year­old sonwho he had outside of his marriage andsince that boy arrived I get no respect fromany of his children. The boys do nothing tohelp and my husband just tells me thereis nothing he can do.

On top of his job he owns three taxis,but if I ask him for money he only gives memoney for food. I have to pay for school,doctors and everything else. What should

I do? I am a prisoner in my own house andall I get is hassles. Help.

Your regular reader.

Dear Mrs. R.R, my heart goes out to you,but honestly I think you are the cause ofyour problems. You marry a guy who obvi­ously slept around and who brought twochildren with him, and when you got atransfer he did not or could not come withyou, but he sent the children, well two ofthem. Then a third arrives who was alreadya teenager and became a leader in thegang. Not only that but dearest husbandtells you he can do nothing to help you withhis children. I do not know what work youdo but I think you either resign and youand the children go back to your husbandand their father or you send the childrento him and tell him to do his duty. Thatmay help you to decide whether it is worthyour while to stay married to someone whoseems to be lacking in any affection foryou or his children. I think you need tobegin a new life. Your choice.

Step childrendisrespect me

Dear Doctor Nash,I have been married for 10 years

and have two children. They are thereason I remain with my husband. Hehas had affairs and has given me aninfection because of them. He has al­so got a history of alcohol abuse andas soon as I find out about his cheat­ing I confront him.

His parents do not like me be­cause I tell them about his affairs andhis drinking. They blame me. They saythat it is my fault that my husbandhas affairs and that he would notdrink so much if I did not lose mytemper with him. What can I doabout my husband’s infidelity and hisdrinking? I am not happy, but my

children need a father and I need ahusband. What do I do?

Mrs. M.R.You may well need a husband and

your children a father but I questionwhether this particular husband andfather is the right choice for any ofyou. What on earth do you think youand your husband are teaching thechildren who will at some later stagebe thinking of marriage themselves?

Will their father’s infidelity influ­ence them when temptation rears it’sugly head at school or later?

Alcohol and sex will always comealong in anyone’s life and the decisioncan be life­changing. For what it isworth I think you should build up youcourage and tell husband either hechanges his ways or you will make uphis mind for him and take him to thecleaners via divorce and heavy main­tenance and damages.

No mercy.

THEreinvented second-genera-tion Nissan Qashqai will beavailable later this month on

South African roads.It is set to continue the success of

the vastly popular first generationmodel, which is well-known for itscompact hatchbackproportions cou-pled with the adventurous drivingstance of an SUV.

“Theultimatedrivingexperience–this is how we describe the new Nis-san Qashqai,” commented Konstan-tin vonVieregge, generalmanager ofmarketing and planning at NissanSouth Africa.

“Thenewmodel represents anewlifestyle choice for people who valuetheirdrivingaspart of their everydayexperience, and aim to make their

timebehind thewheelmore than justa chore.”

“New and revamped from thegroundup, thenewNissanQashqai isa vehicle that can do it all – it has thespace,power,comfort,versatilityandpracticality to suit the busy and ad-venturous lifestyles of South Africanbuyers,”addedNancyReddy,productmanager for passenger and crosso-ver vehicles at Nissan South Africa.

The Qashqai arrives with a five-model range supported by three en-gine variants and two trim lines.Rather thanbeing simplya reworkedoriginal with a renewed lease on life,thenewQashqai is longer,wider, low-er, lighter and redesigned from thegroundup. Italsoboastsstate-of-the-art technology, increased efficiency,

and a sassy new character. The newinterior, which is bolstered by thethree core elements of comfort, con-nectivity and control, is where thebiggest leap in quality and feel hasbeen achieved.

The ergonomic layout ensureseaseofuse,withkey touchpointsandsurfacesdesignedtoenhancethesen-sory experience and provide long-term durability.The availability ofspace remains a key factor in theQashqai, andample seating is availa-ble for five occupants. The 430-litreboot which is fronted by a tailgatewhich now opens 150 mm higherthan before, is 20 litres bigger than

that of its first generation counter-part.The new Qashqai achieved fivestars intheincreasinglystringentEu-ro NCAP crash tests, and all modelscarrythehighestcomplementofsafe-ty equipment as standard, includingfour-disc ABS with EBD (ElectronicBrake-force Distribution) and BAS(Brake Assist System), six airbags,Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), hillstart assistance, an electric parkingbrake, three-point seat belts for allfive seats and ISOFIX child seat an-
