MEMBERS from different Net-works, including Sonke Gen-der Justice, marched to Mb-hashe Municipality in Du-tywa to hand over a petition

for the Premier of the Eastern Cape, care ofthe Mayor.

With the petition they ask Government tocome up with a new plan to fight abuseagainst women and children.The march was held on the day of the

launch of 16 Days of Activism againstWomenand Child Abuse. The petition was handed toMayor Nonceba Mfecane, who signed it.Mfecane said the Mbhashe Municipality is

one of the municipalities facing a high inci-dence of abuse of women and children.“We are happy that today the community

members of this municipality had decided tostand up and say ‘no’ to women and childabuse. As community members we have a re-sponsibility to know our neighbours and sup-

port each otherwhen there is a need to do so,”said Mfecane.Mfecane said it is very hard when they bur-

ry children who are killed mercilessly.Captain Mpumelelo Khwaza from the Du-

tywa Police Station said community mem-bers must come out and inform police aboutpeople who are selling drugs in their areas.“If you can work with us and inform us

about those people who are selling drugs inour communities,we canmanage to fight thisproblem,” said Khwaza.He said drugs are also increasing the high

number of incidents where women and chil-dren are abused and killed.Media Manager for Sonke Gender Justice

Network, Patrick Godana, said they wantedto be clear that Government have a responsi-bility to ensure that women and girls are safein the hands of men.“Weknow that there are peoplewho choose

to be quiet about their matters, but surely ifwe can have a plan of how are we going totackle this problem, surely they can alsospeak out,” said Godana.

Godana said sometimes thepolice fail to col-lect the evidence.According to him, this failure results in

criminals being released due to a lack of evi-dence.

He said they were tired of empty promisesand speeches.Godana said the Network is ready, but they

want an inclusive plan fromGovernment anddon’t want to be isolated as an organisation.

examinations had been conductedwith integ-

rity and without serious problems, despitethreats of protests in some parts of the coun-try.The Department has commended the swift

action of the Eastern Cape SAPS who actedpromptly threeweeks ago in relocating learn-ers from one school to another, after protest-ers threatened to disrupt the examinations.The examinations were conducted well

PHINDILE GQELE

THEEasternCape is one of the poorest prov-inces of South Africa, and hunger confrontsmanycommunities, particularly those in ru-ral areas.

With food insecurity being a challenge,various provincial state departments andpublic institutions, such as the Departmentof Social Development, Education, Healthand Local Government are involved in theFood Security and Nutrition Programmes.Even though the number of stakeholders

involved in promoting Food Security has in-creased over the years, the issue of food inse-curity and malnutrition in the province re-mains a problem in both rural and urban ar-eas. With this in mind, the Department of

Social Development, in collaboration withother government departments, held an an-nual food security and nutrition seminar inMount Frere Town Hall recently.In the Integrated Food Security and Nutri-

tionprogress report issuedby theDepartmentof Social Development and the Department ofRural Development and Agrarian Reform, itwas stated that the Department of Social De-velopment has been involved in numerousprojects including a Farmers’ day workshoponorganic farming, foodgardensandpoultry.The Department of Rural Development

and Agrarian Reform has undertaken anumber of food security initiatives, includ-ing vegetable production units delivered atKwangutyanaAnti-Poverty site inMbizana,vegetable production inputs and animal pro-duction delivered at Mandileni and poultry

production delivered at Bolani Anti-Povertysite in the Mhlontlo Local Municipality.A minimum of 12 municipal communities

have benefited from this initiative.Speaking at the provincial food day event

in Mandileni near Mt Frere, MEC for East-ern Cape Department of Rural DevelopmentAnd Agrarian Reform, Mlibo Qhoboshiya-ne, appealed to locals not to treat land as anornament, adding that he was no longer infavour of food parcels.“We need to help our people to start pro-

ducing their own food. We want to rather fo-cus our resources on giving our people akick-start to produce food than to give themfood parcels all the time. We must preservefood parcels for catastrophic and emergencyoccurrences only,” said Qhoboshiyane.The MEC said the department distributed

seedlings, seeds, agriculture starter packs,fencing off communal land, construction ofdipping tanks, provision of livestock im-provement, and has helped with massivecrop production to help rural communitiesstart their own gardens as part of the its foodsecurity programme.The community of Mandileni locality said

the seedlings from government helped a lot.Mandileni resident, Nophumlani Dakadana(51), said seedlings received from govern-ment havehelpedher to produce food for hernine children,while her husband isworkingat Lonmin in Marikana.“The seedlings we got from the govern-

ment help us supplement our income andsell some of the products from the garden tothe local churches and organisations. Therest is for domestic consumption,” she said.

Nonameswithmatric resultsDepartmental Spokesperson, ElijahMhlan-

ga, said that the Council of Education, com-prising the Minister Angie Motshekga, Depu-ty Minister Enver Surty and the ProvincialMEC, met last week and suggested a reviewon the procedure.Mhlanga said the decision was taken fol-

lowing a Ministerial Task Teamwhich inves-

tigated all sorts of issues around the NationalSenior Certificate (NSC). The task team rec-ommended that the Department must reviewthe practice of publishing the names of learn-ers in newspapers.“We will use exam numbers only which

makes the result known only to the personwho has the exam number of the learner. In

otherwords the learners and familymembersof the learners who wrote the exams will stillbe able to access the results,” he said, high-lighting that there would be no ID numberspublished, only exam numbers.He said 688 660 learners sat for the NSC this

year and theywere optimistic about an excel-lent national pass rate.

the death of a person, a traditional ceremonyshould be held to mark his or her death.According to reliable sources within the

Mandela family, a traditional ceremonycalled ukukhulula izila will take place inQunu on December 7 during which occasiononly AmaDlomo would be welcome.

The first anniversary of the passing oflate former President Nelson Mandela will

be commemorated with a traditionalceremony in Qunu on the weekend.

It is said that not even government officialswould be allowed to attend.A member of the family, who wished to re-

mainanonymous, confirmed thatukukhululaizilawill be conducted inQunuand that a cowwould be slaughtered.Express tried, without success, to get hold

of Ndileka Mandela who apparently is organ-ising the ceremony. A traditional expert,Nokuzola Mndende, said this part of ukukhu-lula izila (mourn) only called for the attend-ance of Mandela’s family members. In prepa-ration of the ceremony they have to hold ib-hunga (a caucus meeting) and discusseverything regarding the ceremony. The ib-hunga will also be attended by family mem-bers only. “The cow should be slaughtered

very early in the morning, because every-thing needs to be finished on the day. If thereismeat left, itmust be cooked on the same dayand be eaten the following day. Any colourcow, except black, may be slaughtered. Nor-mallyno other food is prepared and the familyonly eats meat until the ceremony is conclud-ed,” said Mndende.

Police Spokesperson, Captain JacksonManatha, issued this warning followingthe tragic drowning of Manelisi Phithi(11) while he was swimming in the QhoraRiver at Lubobo Location in NgunduzaVillage in Centane on November 22.

It is alleged that the deceased wasswimming with his twin brother andtheir friends.

“His twin brother and friends man-aged to swim to safety, got out of the riverand alerted the elders who informed theCentane Police,” said Manatha.

He said the body of the deceased wasrecovered by East London Police diversin the dam on November 23.

Centane Police have opened an inquestdocket for further investigation.

THE Portfolio Committee on Labour hasvoiced its satisfaction with the public hear-ings on the national minimum wage held inthe North West province, last week.

The Chairperson of the Committee, LumkaYengeni said the input from mineworkers inboth Klerksdorp and Rustenburg is crucialand will be included in the Committee’s final

report.“All the processes happening around the

national minimum wage at National Econom-ic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac)will eventually come to the Portfolio Commit-tee for consideration,” said Yengeni.

The Parliamentary process and the Nedlacprocess as led by the Deputy President are notmutually exclusive. She said both processeswill inform whatever decision the Committeearrives at.

THE Chairperson of Siyakha Ma-Afri-ka Federation of Contractors, BafanaNdendwa, has lambasted governmentfor failing to pay its service providerson time.

Ndedwa said this is really affectingthe growth of the business, advisinggovernment to stop it as it also jeopard-ised the lives of the business owners.

“Government cannot say, it empow-ers people while its departments orgovernment itself pay service provid-ers very late. Most emerging business-es fail to grow because of the late pay-ments. Just imagine you use the lastcent of your business expecting thegovernment to pay you soon after thejob is done, only to find you get pay-ment after some months while yourworkers are also looking at you to gettheir salaries,” he said.

Ndendwa was addressing the busi-ness community of the OR Tambo inMthatha recently. He said this actionby government caused unbearablestress to the owners of businesses. Hementioned two business people who

committed suicide due to the lack ofpayment from the government. Hementioned one in KwaZulu-Natal andone in the Eastern Cape.

Nevertheless, he also called onblack-owned businesses to create aconducive atmosphere and find a wayto work together in order to get sup-port from the government. He saidmost of the black-owned businessesdidn’t have capacity.

He said business people must alsostop fighting with presidency posi-tions; instead they must combine thesemany organizations into one organiza-tion.

“Let’s find a way to work together,using our strengths to deal with weak-ness.” He was very sad that there wereno black business people who ownedshares in the Johannesburg stock ex-change. “We do not even own 10% inthe Johannesburg stock exchange.Why?”

He also condemned the corruptionwhich was taking place in governmentdepartments regarding the issuing ofjobs or tenders. “Corruption under-mines the state’s procurement policyand black empowerment.”

Being a man, how do you get raped?

Dear readers as you know ukuthi in gossipteam spade is a spade not a garden tool. Andat the same time we are always on the sideof the news on the Express land.Wewere really astonished last week to hear

that there was a 26-year-old man who wasraped by a woman in Holly Cross, Flag (Flag-staff). We asked ourselves how a man can beraped by one woman. Not an old man but ayoung man.Hayi, la kuthi ooGesh there is no woman

who can force or pin me down and rape meunless I’m also interested.But even if she succeeds there is no way I

can go out there telling other people I gotraped. But shame, nifane niyathetha njeGeshbecause of the fact that there are men outthere who are the victims of rape from theirwives if not partners.Ave xa ungayifuni na daai ding kuthiwa

musa ukunyanzeliswa because if someoneforces you to do it that is rape. Anyway weare not trying to provoke anyone but we aretrying to set the record straight.At leastwe understand the situation of Free

State madala who was allegedly raped byyoung woman at a knife point. The old manhad no chance since he had no energy tomatch that drunken woman.Bafethu perhaps someonewill explain to us

howthis chapwas rapedbyonewoman.Sivileukuthi he opened a case perhaps truth willprevail in court.

You are embarrassing your hubby andnot yourself sisi

Whatever you do in thisExpressLand turnsback to you even though you were intendingto prove a point. Like for instance a womanwho was shashalazing her husband at the

Shopping complex in front of Rhino Cashand Carry in Qumbu. She was screaming athim as if she was her younger son.Shame, amanye amadoda ahleli kalusizi

and nezimfihlo ezinzima. Hey, nkosiyamumntwana womntu sefane ejonge phantsiwoyika nokuphakamisa amehlo kubebonke abantu bebethe njo kule ndoda nalomfazi ushashalaza indoda ngoluhlobo.Mara ke koba sathiwani kuthiwa indoda

ayikhali.Butwhatwe liked in this incident people

never paid attention to the abused hubbybut asked themselves what kind of a wifewas that one. Because kaloku in our cul-ture it is strange to see a man bullied by hiswife in full view of the public.Even if sisi you used to abuse your hus-

band but not in front of others.Mmm, I won-derhow is the situationbackat home if she’sgot guts to humiliate him in town in frontof people. Ngawo ke la madoda afihla i-rape.Shame, let’s stop ukukhuluma iindaba za-

bantu bazakusicaphukela abantu.

NCEBA DLADLA

THE 2014 Heroes Marathon, a Transkei flag-ship event which will take place in Mthathaon Tuesday 16 December, was launched at theBoardwalk ICC last Thursday.

The event, according to MEC for Sport, Rec-reation, Arts and Culture Pemmy Majodinawas started in 1999 in the former Transkei.

“The event is a vehicle to commemorate he-roes and heroines coming from the EasternCape, The Home of Legends, and is celebratedon the Day of Reconciliation,” said Majodinaduring the launch.

Explaining why the event was launched in

Port Elizabeth, while it was taking place inMthatha in the King Sabatha Dalindyebo Mu-nicipality, the MEC said, “We are one prov-ince. “This is not a Transkei, but an EasternCape event which is open not only to EasternCape-based athletes but to others from acrossthe country and including SADC countrieslike Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi.”

Furthermore, according to Majodina, theywanted to dispel the myth that governmentdid not sponsor events of such magnitude tak-ing place in the Transkei and that road run-ning was for urban areas only.

The DSRAC sponsored R2 million HeroesMarathon is aimed at attracting a mixture oftourists to the province as it is linked to the

Marathon a highlight on national and international calendar

Liberation Route which touches base atQunu where former State President and lib-eration struggle hero, Nelson Mandela’sworld heritage burial place is, said Majodi-na. She added that this year’s race would bethe first since the passing of late formerPresident Nelson Mandela.

“Madiba used to support this marathon,hence we have not changed its start inQunu,” said Majodina, adding that theywere encouraging mass participation in thissporting event, since sport was a catalyst fornation building and social cohesion.

She said the event, which promotes ahealthy life-style, will call for a generationalmix involving the youth, veterans, masters

and grand masters.“There is something exciting for the athletes

as well,” said MEC Majodina about the hugeprizes on offer.

Prize money will be equally split betweenmen and women: R90 000 for men and womenwho come first, R30 000 for coming second andR20 000 for third position in the 42,2 km.

“The Heroes Marathon will be a family eventwith a fantastic, jam-packed entertainmentprogramme. The organisers expected 2 000 par-ticipants in the 42,2 km, 10 km and the 5km rac-es this year compared to the 1000 that regis-tered last year. The 5km fun run was describedas a family event which will encourage finish-ing, rather than competitive running.
