NEWLY elected Port St Johns mayor, Phikol-omziLanga, had called for transparency in or-der to build stability in the municipality.

Port St Johnshadbeen rockedbymunicipalworkers’ strikes and there have been rumbles

recently due to a go-slow by municipal em-ployees over placements andwages. Last yeara man died because of the protests.The protests have led to a strained relation-

ship between the municipality and its work-ers. Langa, however, vowed to end the prob-lem with immediate effect.“Transparency is akeyandweneed to come

up with good strategies and activate internalstructures to overcome the problems andclose the information gap.“We need a council structure to deal with

the concerns of employeeswhereby the stand-ing committee and labour forum would havea constant interaction with the leaders of theunions. Last weekwe had a series ofmeetings

with the leaders of the workers and discussedissues of concern,” he said.Langa said another solution was to ensure

that each and every person was doing his orher own work without interruption and thisalone would bring success. Port St Johnswould generate more money as it was one ofthe Eastern Cape’s big tourism destinations.

SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE

AFTER the sudden death of former Port StJohnsMayorMnyamezeli DanisileMangqo,the council agreed with the deployment ofthe ANC’s Phikolomzi Langa.

Langa is a Chief, affectionately known asBakhulule, who heads the Zwaligugi Tradi-tional Council which includes Tombo andthe surrounding areas.Hewas born in Tombo Location to the late

where he spent about five years before de-ciding to move closer to home and startsomething new.Langa was the first teacher to introduce

trade subjects and woodwork at the Jokwa-na Junior Secondary School in Port StJohns.He had been working for the ANC since

his youth. In 2000, politics took the centrestage in his life while hewas also a chief andhe resigned from teaching.“Because of the contribution to my com-

munity, the ANC also wanted my contribu-

tion and I became fully involved in the ANCactivities.”Langa was not new in the Port St Johns

council. He joined the council in 2000 as aProportionalRepresentative (PR) councillorand served as chairperson of the local eco-nomic development standing committee.In 2006hebecame theSpeaker of the coun-

cil. In the present term he was elected ChiefWhip and then mayor.Langa also served in several structures in

Tombo as a person who was fully involvedin agriculture.In an exclusive interview with Express,

Langa agreed that he was moving into thehot seat because of the problems that hadplagued themunicipality for somanyyears.He said he was ready to lead the munici-

pality, which had a high rate of unemploy-ment, and vowed that the leadership wouldchange the lives of the people of the town.It was important to revive the town so

that it could attract more tourists, and thatwould improve local economic develop-ment.“As the leadership, we need to go out and

lobby to getmore resources and ensure thatwe have plans in place to fight crime.”He said they had outsourced cleaning of

the town to a contractor with the aim ofkeeping the face of Port St Johns more at-tractive to tourists.

THE South African National Civic Organi-sation (Sanco) in the Eastern Cape hasjoined the battle against xenophobia fol-lowing an appeal from President Jacob Zu-ma to leaders across the country to engagewith communities on the need for peace be-tween locals and foreigners.

Sanco has started a process to establishstreet committees, and part of their dutieswill be to promote social cohesion, shareskills and promote cooperative develop-ment among the communities.

This was revealed by Eastern Cape San-co chairperson, Zukile Luyenge, in an in-terview with Express.

Luyenge said theywere prepared to com-municate directly with the communities tomake them aware of the importance of be-ing united and staying in harmony.

“It is not considerate for South Africansto engage in criminal conduct against theirneighbours, who against all odds protectedour struggle icons in order for us to be lib-erated,” he said.

“We are calling upon all South Africancitizens to do everything in their power atall levels to desist from violent activitiesagainst other African nationals whateverfrustrations come theirway. It can’t be cor-

rect to allege that all foreigners promotecrime or take our job opportunities.

“Those who are suspected of being in-volved in criminal activities must be re-ported to the police immediately, withouttaking the law into their hands. We mustbe mindful of the fact that a number of jobsare created by them through the skills theybring to our beloved country,” Luyengesaid.

He called upon people to support govern-ment endeavours to uplift the conditionsunder which some communities lived be-cause of the legacy of the past and to fightthe scourge of corruption wherever itarose.

He said theywere also engagingwith tra-ditional leaders throughout the provincein an endeavour to end xenophobia.

“First of all we will visit Nyandeni GreatPlace and continuewith other royal housesthroughout the province so that they con-vey the message of unity to the communi-ties.”

netic-improving livestock to382 livestock farm-ers in the Amathole district as part of the East-ern Cape livestock production improvementscheme. Other farmers who benefited werefrom the Chris Hani and OR Tambo Districts.Qoboshiyane said the livestock production

improvement scheme programme was part ofthe ANC’s election manifesto commitments tosupport smallholders and emerging farmersfor themtobenefit fromthecountry’seconomy.“We invested R5 982 900 to buy 372 livestock

we are giving to our people and later in this fi-nancial year we will distribute about 1 600 ge-netic-improving livestock as part of the East-ern Cape livestock production improvementscheme to other beneficiaries,” he said.Qoboshiyane handed over Brahman, Nguni,

ernment’s Land Redistribution for Agricul-ture development programme and emergingfarmers.Laphumi iKhwezi farming cooperative

member, Nonzwakazi Jantjies Mphongoshe,said the two Beef Master bulls they had re-ceived from the department would help themimprove the quality of their 156-strong herdand help increase their milk production.“Wewill work harder to producemore bulls

tohelpother local farmers, andsell someofourpoorly performing bulls and invest the moneyin our farming business to increase our herd.We are glad this programme benefits farmersfrom small places like Nxuba where we comefrom,” he said.Sheep farmer Khangelisile Mila said: “We

welcome the livestock from the governmentwith both hands. The sheep will help us im-prove the quality of our sheep to benefit ourfarming as local communities, particularly inwool productionbecausewewill nowhavebet-ter wool quality.”At the same event, Eastern Cape House of

Traditional Leaders’ deputy chairperson,Prince Burns Ncamashe, called on communi-ties to protect the livestock from thieves.“It is the responsibility of all beneficiaries to

look out for livestock thieves. Thieves comefrom our communities. We know them. Weknow who is stealing our livestock and someof us act as if we don’t know.

companies establishing fillingstations where they bring con-venience to people, sowe are fol-lowing the same trend. Taxi op-erators do not enjoy the luxuryof an ordinary car owner whocan go to any lubricant store tobuy lubricants and fast-movingcar parts like oil filters and

brake fluids because they haveto keep their place in thequeue,” George said.“While holding their posi-

tions in the queue, taxi opera-tors could also check andchange lubricants and pads attheir convenience.”“We are hoping to open 30

more stores across the provinceat various taxi ranks where en-trepreneurs are interested in es-tablishing their own stores andwe will gladly finance the storesonce all the relevant steps arefollowed,” he said.Eastern Cape Taxi Owners’

Association chairman, Zanem-vula Gaya, said they had neverseen such a convenient initia-tive for their taxi operators.“We are very thankful for this

initiative. It is a first and wewelcome it,” he said.He said theywere also looking

forward to having these shopsin all their nine ranks in Mthat-ha.The shops will sell car lubri-

cants, oils and additives, as wellas fast-moving car parts such asspark plugs, brake pads, filtersand shock absorbers, amongother items.

SIX Grade 11 pupils from the GobizizweSenior Secondary School in Ncise villagenear Mthatha finally got back to school lastweek following a seven-month fight and in-tervention by the DA after they were ex-pelled for allegedly arriving at schooldrunk.

“I am delighted that these pupils can fi-nally get on with their quest for an educa-tion after losing out on an entire academicyear,” the DA’s shadow Education MEC,MPL Edmund van Vuuren, said.

“They have been denied access to learn-ing due to the Department of Education’s

shameful handling of the case and officialsignoring legislative prescripts.

“Service delivery renewal must be un-dertaken to eliminate embarrassing sto-ries that tarnish the integrity of the provin-cial government and the department,” hesaid.

“Service delivery in certain disciplinesof school management and leadership mustbe unblocked through processes of effec-tive monitoring by competent and capableofficials regarding the implementation ofpolicies, procedures and regulations.”

He said more resources in terms of hu-man knowledge should be made availableto struggling schools regarding policies toprevent unlawful incidents.

“I will continue to pursue this matter toensure that punitive action is institutedagainst the school principal, the chairper-son of the school governing body and thedistrict education officer.”

He said the pupils had been expelled ingross violation of the South AfricanSchools Act. “The empty promises made bythe department at the expense of these pu-pils are not actions that represent a govern-ment that cares.

“I wish Sive Tom, Sizwe Manyifolo, AfikaPulula, Yandisa Nkanuka, Avuma Ncumeand Sikelela Bam well with their educationand plans. Afika plans to be a policemanin order to make meaningful contributionsto the fight against crime,” he said.

Kuba ke nokuba ungathini okuzi-phatha kungatshongo khona kuhambisananengulo sometimes. Nembala sithe siyabo-na ungumnqawuka nenwele ezi sezingathizixhwithekile emnyama ngathi lilahlekwaye sehamba yedwa kungasabonakaliziichomie. Okwakungamadoda ayemazinawo sehambela kude emana ukuthi “hayindandiyazi la way.” Ok, wanqaba futhinalapha empuzweni simbona nje xa edriv-er around town elilolo. Wawu!! Last week-end simbonile kucaca ukuba noko wela-phekile uyabuyela nasegazini. Nanko ama-doda semthe mba kwakhona, nala kanyeebehambela kude ngoku sefuna kuye esiq-wini akazi nokuba isigulo besiyintoni kubanaku utyebile kwakhona angena kuye. Ni-zofa nje ngokuba kucaca ukuba anizicinge-li nakufumana eli jiki nje. Asithule sijongekodwa kungekudala uzakubona enye seyib-oqoke izidlele, imbrukhwe le seyingathi ix-honyiwe. Baxelele gossip team abeva ababakufumana la mambawu abo.

Sorry guys this is ECIn order to experience life of that particu-

lar province sometimes you need to gethurt so that you will be able to see a direc-tion. Bafethu, asihlekisi ngani qha this isa fact. There were guys from Gauteng whowere sobbing as they were ‘knocked’ by thegirls during their visit in the Eastern Cape.The guys told us that they invited girlswhom they met at So What Lounge, UTA.They organized everything for them frombuying alcohol on their first meeting tobraaiing for them and buying airtime letalone transporting them from point A topoint B their entire weekend. But the ladiesstill stole their two cell phones and somecash and the guys realised later after theydropped them off in front of a room in Fort-dale whom they claimed they were resid-ing. But when they went there to check,there were no ladies but were welcomed byan old white lady who said she knew noth-

ing about the ladies as she stays with herhusband in that room. Kuyabethwa eECbafana bam akudlalwa and oosisi bethu na-bo bayaziphandela.

But it’s dangerousWe used to see drivers driving talking

from their cell phone but we saw last weekit was a ‘masterpiece’’ but it’s too danger-ous. There was a guy who was drivingthrough Sutherland Street in a grey BMW.As he was driving he was also reading thenewspaper which was across the steeringwheel. HOW!! madoda yimihlola. Some-times we are the ones who invite accidentsbecause you cannot read and drive at thesametime. Lo nto nje ngamanzi namafutha.Ntante Machaea sinqandeleni baba kulereckless driving yenzeka apha eUTA.

What happened shame?I wonder what happened to the guardwho

was found emapuna-puna inside the busi-ness premises of Kopano, Kwezi kasi. Son-dela sikuxelele iindaba ezi ungazaziyo. Ka-loku last week kufunyenwe enye i-outieegada eKopano itiphile and ishaya ngesutiyesele ukuba kwenzeke ntoni akukabikhomntu waziyo kuba ibingakwazi noku-thetha. Mhlawumbi umfethu uzitshizengamandla kuba kulityelwe icala le bar lin-gatshixwanga or kukhona into emehleleyomara sizakuthola konke lokho xa sele ek-wazi ukuthetha. Mahlawumbe idonkey idleemthwalweni ebona isitha se-bar sivuliwe.

Wow people can waitVisiting these money places in the big su-

permarkets is a nightmare. Last week I wascompelled to go to a money market at Shop-rite in Mbizana yhu kuyalindwa pha, besekuba khona osecurity abasoloko benijiji-meza apha kulayini besithi mamela bonaibo abaphethe. Well I thought that was thelast thing but when you are in front youhere the cashiers calling “ofakayo” omnyekwelinye icala esithi “okhuphayo” whybengagqibezeli ukuba okhupha ntoni no-faka ntoni. Thina with our dirty minds wethought of something else and when a beau-tiful lady calling for “ofakayo” you will runto her. Well it was just an observation thatwe did last week. See you next week withmore gossip news.

SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE

COMPASSIONATE Mthatha wom-en have stepped in to rescue a groupof children from their windowlesszinc pre-school, which was an ovenin summer and a freezer in winter.

The children of the KwakhanyaEducation Centre in Polar Park,Mthatha, have been enduring theseextremes conditions since theschool’s inception in 2012, but ladyluck came to their rescue lastWednesday, when an organisation

called Women With Vision an-nounced it was committing itself torebuilding the school.

A Women With Vision delegationvisited the pre-school with mainsponsor Ajay Singh Azcon Projectto inspect the site so that they couldstart with the first phase.

The women will rely on raisingfunds to accomplish their dream ofchanging the lives of the youngminds at the pre-school. They re-cently hosted a dinner and dance atthe Mthatha Resource Centrewhere they raised R120 000 for the

project.WomenWith Vision chairperson,

Rashida Mukadam, thanked all thebusiness people and individualswho contributed. She said they hadalso held a Christmas party at PolarPark in November to raise funds.

“We were really touched by thecondition of the pre-school. It wasmade of tin sheets and was in terri-ble condition. This is not the type ofenvironment that any child shouldbe learning in.

“Seeing this, WomenWith Visioninitiated conversations with the

community, and we have receivedthe go-ahead to construct a properpre-school building for the chil-dren,” said Mukadam.

She called on all business peoplein Mthatha and surrounding areasto join hands in changing the livesof the children.

Principal Bulelwa Lengisi ex-pressed her gratitude to WomanWith Vision. “It was hard to workin this school but we had no choicebecause it is the only pre-school thatis near to the kids of Polar Park.”

“This place is poor and it has no

electricity. Sometimeswehave chil-dren who come to school withoutlunch boxes because of their poorbackground back at home. Sowe ap-peal to the government to provideus with food after the constructionof this school, so that we can feedthese young minds.”

She revealed that she and her col-leagues depended on payment fromtheparents, but if therewasnomon-ey they do the work voluntarily.

The construction of the newstructure is expected to start at theend of April.
