GOVERNMENT institutionsjoined hands in an endeavour tostop shark attacks at 2nd Beachin Port St John’s (PSJ) on theWild Coast.

In order to empower life guards to protectbathers, new safety equipment was handedover recently.

This followed the nine shark attacks – ofwhich seven were fatal – which occurred atthe beach over the 10-year period from March2004 to March 2014.

After the recent fatal attack on an Austriantourist, the beach was closed, but after the do-nation of new rescuing equipment it was reo-

pened just in time for the Easter weekend.The institutions that took a stand to fight

the shark attacks in one of the OR Tambo’stop tourist destinations, include the EasternCape Department of Economic Development,Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DE-DEA),ORTamboDistrict and thePSJMunici-pality.

The DEDEA contributed R1 million, plusR400 000 towards the training of life guards,while the OR Tambo district municipalitybought equipment to the value of R74 000. ThePSJ Municipality also committed R400 000 to-wards the training of life guards.

ORTamboMember of theMayoralCommit-tee for community services, Councillor Siya-kholwa Mlamli, revealed that they would alsoinstall CCTV cameras to assist in monitoring

the sharks before they could attack. In addi-tion, 50 life guards would get intensive train-ing to guard all nine PSJ beaches.

The MEC of the DEDEA, Mcebisi Jonas,said there was a need for more infrastructureand resources in PSJ to create a safe environ-ment.

He said his department was committed tochanging the situation in PSJ and to helpmake it more attractive to tourists.

He said his department was going to fundthe life guards so that they would not only beavailable during the season, but also thewhole year around. “We also want to empow-er the municipality with the knowledge tomanage the beaches and coastline. We needto do research in PSJ on climate change. Withthe migration of sharks to this beach, we can

change the situation to attract more touristsand researchers to the area,” said Jonas.

He said the Eastern Cape does not have re-search towns but that the PSJ Municipalityneeded to look into making their town attrac-tive to researchers.

The MEC also advised the municipality todo research into the possible constructing oftidal pools.

People could then swim in tidal pools in-stead of in the ocean, limiting the danger ofshark attacks considerably.

PSJ Mayor, Councillor Danisile Mangqo,expressed his gratitude to the government in-stitutions extending a helping hand in thefight against shark attacks at 2nd Beach. Hesaid this challenge was of national impor-tance.

THE Democratic Alliance (DA) will demand afull investigation into the death of a pedestrianwho was mowed down by what they call “theblue light bullies” of EasternCapeRuralDevel-opment and Agrarian Reform, MEC Zoleka Ca-pa on Wednesday.

In a statement issued by Athol Trollip (MPL)and Eastern Cape Provincial Leader of the DA,he said the family contacted the DA to ensure“that there is no cover-up in this matter andthose that are responsible for this ghastly deedare brought to book”.

It isallegedthatMECCapa’sAudiQ7collidedwithNomvumeDabula (77) in theMount FrereCBD.

“My colleague in the legislature, who sits onthePortfolioCommitteeonSafetyandSecurity,Bobby Stevenson,will be tabling a set of parlia-mentary questions about the incident. On theface of it this is a clear case of negligent and

reckless driving. A case of culpable homicideshould be opened,” stated Trollip.

“The blue light bullies are not above the law.They are not permitted to drive at excessivespeeds. The MEC must take note that her posi-tion does not excuse her and her brigade tobreak the law. In the DA-led Western Cape wehave introduced legislation to curb blue lightbrigades.”

“MEC Capa has a social responsibility as apublic representative, elected by the people, tobe an example of how a responsible, law-abid-ing citizen should act.

“Her claims that she was not in the vehicleat the time, does not make her less culpable inthis tragedy. She should not have allowed herconvoy to drive at excessive speed.

“Weare shockedandhorrifiedby thisunnec-essary death of one of our citizens and extendour deepest sympathy with the family of Mrs.Dabula”

Police have confirmed the incident and areinvestigating it.

LEARNERS of the King Sabatha DalindyeboFurther Education and Training (FET) Col-lege at Maphuzi Campus, believe they’ve fall-en prey to criminals after having been kickedout of the hotel they were renting.

According to reports, the person who iskicking the learners out, is the new ownerwho bought the hostel from its previous own-er.The learners are hospitality students who

relocated to Maphuzi in June last year andwere renting rooms in a hotel which had beenconverted into a hostel. But, during the pastthreemonths thenewownerhas beenkicking

them out and the students now have no placeto stay. Some of the students come from as faras KwaZulu-Natal.According to a source, some students were

compelled to rent unsafe rondavels in the lo-cality which exposes them to criminals.One of the learners who wanted to remain

anonymous, said they found it astonishingthat even though theywere suffering like this,the National Student Financial Aid Scheme(NSFAS) was giving them money for accom-modation through the college, but they don’tknow where this money ends up.He said they don’t knowwhy thenewowner

forced them out. “Perhaps the rent was neverpaid over from NSFAS and FET,” speculatedone of the students.

The learners were compelled to ask for rentmoney from their parents – some of whomewere not even working – since the school wasnot paying their rent and they were not reim-bursed the rent money from NSFAS by theFET.Learners are worried, because the area in

which many of them are now staying, has ahigh crime rate. They feel unsafe here andsome of the parents aren’t even aware thattheir children were evicted from the hostel.The Express phoned the campus head who

refused to give her first name, but only identi-fied herself as Mrs Mfeya.She referred our reporter to the manage-

ment of KSD FETCollege atMthatha Campusand provided numbers of the office for Mr

Mdetyana, the Mthatha Campus head.When theExpress phoned his office, a wom-

an answered and said Mdetyana was not inthe office at the time and she refused to giveout his cell number. The reporter then gavehis number and asked that Mdetyana contacthim.The provincial spokesperson for the De-

partment of Education, Malibongwe Mtima,referred theExpress to the office ofHigherEd-ucation, of the national minister Blade Ndzi-mande, but calls to that line went unan-swered.Mdetyana, who was asked to phone our re-

porter back since a message and contactnumber had been left with his office, had giv-en no response by the time of going to print.

cus on the provision of water and sanitation in the dis-trict, while also touching on various interventionsthat are aimed at boosting the economy of the districtand also addressing the issue of unemployment.“A total of 72% of this amount will go towards infra-

NKONKONI Senior PrimarySchool (SPS) in Libode is oneof the schools that will benefitfrom Nedbank’s 2014 Back toSchool programme that willsee R2.5 million invested inEastern Cape schools over thecourse of the year.

The investment comprisesR100 000 to provide new li-brary books, R50 000 towardsmobile laboratories and a fur-ther R10 000 donated to pro-

vide soccer kits.Kone Gugushe, Divisional

Executive for Corporate So-cial Responsibility at Ned-bank, said the donation takesthe total investment in the ar-ea to almost R600 000, follow-ing the investment of R435 334to schools in the Eastern Capeearlier this year.

“Nedbank believes thatstrong private-public partner-ships are necessary in orderto provide good quality educa-tion for the children andyouth of South Africa. Educa-tion is one of our key focus ar-

eas, because we believe thatthe creation of a knowledge-based economy is critical tothe future growth of our coun-try. Our approach is thatmeaningful and practical in-terventions are necessary inaddressing some of the chal-lenges, which hinder theprogress of disadvantagedlearners,” said Gugushe.

The Back to School cam-paign, which demonstratesclose cooperationwith theDe-partment of Basic Education,was first established in 2010as part of Fundisa, Nedbank’sholistic education pro-gramme. Since the pro-gramme was started it has in-vested over R8 million tomore than 8000 learners’ uni-forms, shoes, stationery,books and bags. In 2014, Ned-bank plans to invest R2.5 mil-lion in order to benefit 2000learners across South Africa.

“Our holistic school pro-gramme follows a two-pillareducation intervention mod-el. The first focuses on educa-tion from early childhood de-velopment through to tertiaryeducation. The second ena-bles holistic support for bene-ficiary schools, through infra-structure development, teach-er training, leadershipcapacity and provision ofclassroom-based support.

“Quality education shouldnot be the privilege of the few.It is a right for all childrenandNedbank is committed to ini-tiating programmes that seekto empower the youth ofSouth Africa.”
