HE thought his problems were over nowthat he had finally secured a job in thegovernment sector, but all of that was tak-en away within a month of Litha Sigcau’semployment.

Sigcau (40) was employed as part of theNational Youth Service programme bythe Department of Social Development inBizana in June 2013.

But that was short-lived. Only when Sig-cau did not receive his monthly stipendas agreed in the contract and he ques-tioned this, was he told he had beenwrongfully employed and did not qualifyfor the post.

“I was shocked to be told that the postwas especially for the youth and I shouldnot have been hired in the first place.”

He said he needed answers to what hecalled negligence by the department.

“My rights have been violated here. Inever got any kind of remuneration andI demand that because it has been almosttwo years I have been looking for an-swers,” he said.

Provincial Social Development spokes-person Gcobani Maswana said since thiswas a serious matter, a team of officialshad been sent to Bizana to investigate.

A Qunu chief from the home of the firstblack president in the democratic SouthAfrica Nelson Mandela, Chief Nokwan-ele Balizulu believes that if people canadhere to the 67 minutes initiatives thatcould restore the loss of the spirit ofUbuntu amongst the people of the coun-try.

The late Tata Mandela took an initia-tive to spend 67 minutes of his time help-ing the poor and those who are unableto help themselves and he spread thatnationwide and South Africans wel-comed it with both hands. This initia-tive usually start on his date of birth, Ju-ly 18 runs until the end of his birthmonth and it is recognized nationallyand internationally.

Since this day is around the cornerChief Balizulu is preparing to visit theold people of Qunu whereby she willshare the wisdom of life, give them giftsand shows that she still loves them eventhough they were house bound. “This iswhat our forefathers used to do but be-causeofwesternizationweendeduplos-ing our culture of caring for each otheruntil Tata Mandela initiated this 67minutes. In the olden days it was notstrange to see young people helping anadult by swiping the floors of any adultshome in the village or wash the dishesfor them as it was part of our culture,so this 67 minutes need to be instil to ourpeople because we are not practisingsomething which is new,” she said.

Balizulu said this day is no longer forMandela but “we need to teach our chil-dren about the important of assistingeach other as it was existing even beforethe civilization took over.” She said hermain mission to visit the old people isto provide happiness so that they can re-alize that even after the passing on ofMandela there are still local leaderswho will take care of them even thoughit is difficult for them to move around.

“I am also going to visit those who aresick and show them that a person is aperson because of other people (Umntungumntu ngabantu),” she said.

THE Eastern Cape Health Department willset up field hospitals to relieve the pressureat hospitals which are admitting injuredcircumcision school initiates.

Spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said this

would entail setting up tents with essen-tial equipment and stretchers to provideIV fluids, antibiotics and wound care.

“These initiates will be supported andprovided emergency care until they arestabilised and either sent back to theschools or referred for admission to hos-pital.”

Kupelo said an implementation planwould be announced soon.

Some hospitals are overcrowded, par-ticularly in Pondoland, due to the largenumber of initiates being admitted.Some cases are botched circumcisionsand others are initiates beaten up at theschools.

RESIDENTS of the Madwaleni Administra-tive Area in Elliotdale says Eskom has askedfor 21 days within which to respond to theircomplaints.

One of those who took part in a service de-livery protest at Madwaleni recently, Una-thi Qakamba, said, “If Eskom comes up withnothing we will continue with our action be-cause we are tired of feeling neglected in thisarea.”

“We don’t have electricity, let alone waterand houses. We are tired of this situationand that is why we decided to stand up and

block the road. We did this to attract the mu-nicipality’s attention.”

Madwaleni residents blocked the road tothe Madwaleni Hospital for two days, whichled to critically ill patients having to be air-lifted to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hos-pital in Mthatha as ambulances were unableto enter or leave the hospital.

The Eastern Cape government con-demned the illegal actions and said it hadreceived unverified reports that some of theinstigators had been disgruntled local coun-cillors.

Mbhashe Municipality spokesperson Mzi-masi Dyomfana said the municipality andEskom had gone to address the protesters

about the way forward.“In ward three, protesters were informed

by Eskom that the area had already beensurveyed and designed.

“Maybe by the end of this month they willstart to electrify the area. In Madwaleni, Es-kom told the protesters that they were notcatered for in this year’s financial year, butif Eskom received funds it would start toelectrify the area,” Dyomfana said.

According to him, no one had asked to begiven 21 days to respond. He said what heknew was that a team had been selected torepresent community members to informthem about what was happening about theelectricity.

TILLING the land should take pri-ority over housing, says EasternCape MEC for Rural Developmentand Agrarian Reform, Mlibo Qho-boshiyane.

Qhoboshiyane was addressingcommunity members and farmersduring his visit to Mqanduli last

Wednesday.He said South Africa was faced

with a dilemma where people de-mand houses but had empty stom-achs.“How can you enjoy the stay in

that particular house if you don'thave anything to eat? Our peopleneed to instil in their minds thatagriculture is a priority because itbrings food to the table. Once agri-culture becomes dominant in afamily, there will be no poverty.Plough the land then follow withhouses,” he said.He stressed that he did notmean

people must not get houses, butthey must ensure they have some-thing to eat. This would also re-duce the chances of crime escalat-ing.Qhoboshiyane also revealed

that he would soon return toMqanduli with a R4-millionproject to restore the culture ofcultivating land in the area. “Weneed 1 500 hectares to be used inMqanduli for cultivation and peo-ple must roll up their sleeves tomake this dream a reality. In thesame area of Mqanduli we areopening new dams for cattle andrevitalising 112 dipping tanks,” hesaid.Qhoboshiyane’s department re-

cently pledged R30-million forploughing in the OR Tambo re-gion. The farmers of Mqanduliwelcomed the promises of theMEC and said they would workhand-in- glove with the depart-ment.

THE residents of Gengqe, Mqan-duli, have a brand new, R2,1-mil-lion community hall.

They packed the hall for the of-ficial handing-over ceremony at-tended by Rural Developmentand Agrarian ReformMECMliboQhoboshiyane.He told the audience, which in-

cluded officials of the King Sabat-ha Dalindyebo Municipality, to

take good care of their new asset.“Weneed the communitymem-

bers to beautify the hall by plant-ing flowers around it and theremust be no vandalism. It is agreat privilege to have a hallwhile others are burning theirsdown in service delivery pro-tests. People must learn to pro-tect what they have been given bythe government. So it is the re-sponsibility of the community ofthis area to take care of this as-set.”

Nasiphi Sobhuwa said theycould hardly wait to make use ofthe hall. Previously youth groupshad nowhere to hold meetings orhost events.“We normally use the schools

and churches to conduct ourmeetings, but now it’s over as wehave a space to host our meet-ings. She said the hall would alsoreduce the expenses of the com-munity, who were compelled todig deep in their pockets to hiretents for events like weddings.

made by AmaXhosa King Zwel-onke Sigcau after he saw that theschool had a shortage of class-rooms.This school won the South Afri-

can School Choral Eisteddfod.Sigcau said there were still a

numberofmudschoolsaroundtheElliotdale area, but he was proudthat Marawu had managed to res-cue the pupils of Putuma.The principal of the school, Ba-

balwa Mtumtum, said she wasgrateful as itwashard for teacherstowatchpupilssittingonthegrasswhilewriting theirexamsbecauseof a shortage of classrooms.“Lots of parents send their chil-

dren to our school because of thehigh talentwhich ishere.Wehavepupilswhocomefromfarawaybe-cause our school excels in musicand other activities.”Mtumtum said the classrooms

would improve the situation theywere facing. She said that due tohigh demand they used to enrol1 650pupils, buthadbeen forced toreduce the number to 1 000 thisyear because of the space prob-lem.

WHAT is better than apply-ing what you’ve learnt in apractical manner?

This was the experience ofpupils who attended theNel-son Mandela Museum’sWinter School programme.The participants from the

OR Tambo region con-verged at the Nelson Man-dela Museum Youth andHeritage Centre to be in-spired and to be creative intheir thinking.The participants of the vi-

sual art group got the oppor-tunity last Tuesday andThursday to put theory intopractice. They took on thetask of beautifying a needyrural preschool called Emi-lley Kiddies in Qunu. Thepreschool is at the ThusongCentre in Qunu close toformer President NelsonMandela’s residence.The notion behind beauti-

fying the preschool was tobring joy and happinessamong children through vi-sual artwork.The Winter School also

taught subjects such as po-etry and creative writing,music and dance, drama andstorytelling as well as oralhistory and research.Participants challenged

each other with discussionsand debates that led to thedevelopment of a conceptfor presentations held onFriday.The participants came

from the KSD, Ingquza Hill,Mhlontlo, Port St Johns andNyandeni municipalities.

Food first of allTHINGS have totally changed in this genera-

Mara kukhona okungasiphathanga kak-uhle friend. Kaloku thina asifihli makhubakuhlakulwa. Khazi kuyakwayintoni kulamakhwenkwe athanda ukuthetha? Lo mjitaoko esihlalele ngeziphuzo zinomsila de waliba-la nokuba thina booGesh asikho mde kakhuluphaya kwezi nyembezi zomlungu, sizithandelainto etyiwayo. And asithandi nokuba kucacekub daai ding uzakuyitshintsha ibe ngathi yi-breakfast. So ke friend next time xa sikun-dwendwe yenza sure ukuba you have enoughfood hayi ugcwalise i-fridge ama-whisky nam-acider thina akasihluthisi koko ayasilambisa.Uvile moss. Makuqale ukutya kuqala igqibele

Ingathi ngeyinikwa abantu abanengqo-ndo eziphusileyo imipu

Uyazi esikubone eLusiki recently kusibon-ise ukuba bakhona abantu ekungafanelekangabayinikwe imimpu kuba ingqondo zabo azi-kumelangaoko.Kukhonazidakwazibini ebezi-hamba ngemoto eluhlobo lwe-Chevrolet Aveo.Ezi-chap sibone zisima right in the middle ofthe road. Sicinge ukuba isithu-thi sabo sineng-xaki kanti akukho loo nto, ezi-gang zidakwe zi-mnyama mba. And zi-delela kwamntu ozamaukuzibonisa ukuba le ndawo zimise kuyo

Kazi iphi i-wholesale yala mantombazanaakhe

Bafethu besicinga ukuba kule group yethuye-gossip zikhona izibethi, mara kuthe kantisikhe phantsi isitya sizele. Akho amajita ant-swempu apha phandle. I wonder ukuba inkqu-bo yabo ithini kule monster ilapha phandle in-guHIV/AIDS? Kukho i-outie ehamba ngePoloebomvu phaya eUTA. Hayi shame iyalenza ixe-sha apha koosisi and each and every night clubefika kuyo ifika nomntu omtsha and kuyacacaukuba isandla esi ayisibambi iyamnkalelalowo ithe yanaye ngolo suku. Siyibukele Fri-
