THEKingof theAbaThembu,Buyel-ekhaya Dalindyebo, who is facinga jail term, has announced that hisson, Azenathi Zanelizwe Dalindye-bo (23), will take over the throne if

he goes to jail.

Dalindyebo made thisannouncement at Bum-bane Great Place last Sun-day (October 4).

Dalindyebo’s announce-ment followed the judg-ment by the SupremeCourt of Appeal in Bloem-fontein on Thursday, Oc-tober 1, which handedDalindyebo a 12-year sen-tence.

Dalindyebo was con-victed in the MthathaHigh Court in 2010 ofcrimes including arson,assault with the intent tocause grievous bodilyharm, culpable homicideand defeating the ends ofjustice.

He was sentenced to an effective 15 years inprison and he appealed.

He said that now the royal family was goingto appeal to the Constitutional Court regard-ing the judgment.

“So everything will depend on the outcomein the Constitutional Court, but if I go to jailmy son will take the throne as my successor.

“I am prepared for anything, but if God isaround me there will benothing that will happen,even in that prison, and Iwill never give up praying.

“Even if I go to jail, that isnot the end of the road.There is life even after pris-on,” Dalindyebo said.

On the same day, Bum-bane hosted a number ofAbaThembu traditionalleaders, who discussed howto save the king.

Among the issues dis-cussed in the meeting wasgetting clarity on the royalfamily and whowas amem-ber of the royal house andwho was not. The Dlomos,who were at the meeting,agreed to support the king fi-nancially in his legal battle.A prayer session was also

conducted, appealing to God to save the kingfrom this dark cloud cast over him.

her two sons, were arrested in connectionwith the murder and, according to Lusikis-iki police spokesman Captain MduduziGodlwana, they cooperated with the policeand pointed out the crime scene.“It is alleged that the man was stabbed to

death and dumped in thenearby deep caveby the three suspects on September 9 aftera quarrel over the ownership of their homeafter the sudden return of the deceasedfrom Gauteng, where he had spent most of

his life,” Godlwana said.He said the dedication of police officers

from across the province had contributeda lot to the investigation.“A team of police search and rescue mem-

bers from Port Elizabeth, East London,King William’s Town and Mthatha workedday and night to retrieve the body and wealso had to make use of a helicopter to gainaccess to the deep, dark cave.”He said the helicopter had been unable to

land, but a team of dedicated officers hadgone down with ropes and made the recov-ery.The three suspects have appeared in the

Lusikisiki Magistrate’s Court on charges ofmurder.

BAD weather prevented Deputy PresidentCyril Ramaphosa from presenting a memo-rial lecture in honour of former ANC presi-dent Oliver Tambo at the Walter SisuluUniversity’s Nelson Mandela campus lastweek.

Ramaphosa was supposed to deliver thelecture at 3pm, but had still not arrived by6pm.ANC members registered to attend the

ANC provincial general council meeting atthe university also attended the lecture.The memorial lecture ended up starting

at 7.17pm, with Eastern Cape Premier Phu-mulo Masualle standing in for Ramaphosa.Masualle said the deputy president had

failed to land at Mthatha Airport becauseof bad weather.“He ended up landing in East London, but

the IVP protection unit decided not to drivehim to Mthatha for security reasons.“Nevertheless, he knows that he owes us,

so on one of the days of OR Tambo Monthhe will come and address us in this region,”Masualle said. Tambo was fromNtantolo inBizana and the OR Tambo region wasnamed after him.Comment was not forthcoming from the

deputy president’s office.

IMPORTANT infrastructure improve-ment programmes in the Amathole Dis-trict Municipality have been suspendedonly temporarily, because of a shortage offunds, Eastern Cape Premier PhumuloMasualle has said.

He was responding to questions fromthe DA leader in the legislature, AtholTrollip, regarding the suspension of theprojects.Masualle said some projects had pro-

gressed faster than expected and this hadresulted in the municipality spending its

2014/15 Municipal Infrastructure Grantallocation before the end of the financialyear (April 15).This had affected the 2015/16 budget and

plans and requests had been made to theprovincial Treasury and the CooperativeGovernance and Traditional Affairs De-partment for additional funds, but no posi-tive feedback had been received.“The projects are not terminated, they

are suspended for a while until themunic-ipality is in a better financial state to con-tinue with them.“Service providers already appointed

will continuewith projects until theyhavebeen completed,” he said.

cued recently in Eastern Pondoland.The region is leading in the province with 20

deaths out of 28 throughout the province lastwinter season.In those 20 deaths, eight initiates had their

ing, especially in the OR Tambo region, and en-sure that each district strengthened its forums,

government is ready to put money into rescuecentresacross theprovince, includingcircumci-sion doctors.“We need to be tough now and ensure that we

strengthen the laws todealwith illegal surgeonsand traditional nurses,” Xasa said.They wanted to put strategies in place to en-

sure that iingcibi andamakhankatha (tradition-al surgeons and traditional nurses)were closelywatched by experienced people and experts inthis custom.“Culture does not kill. The problem is the peo-

ple who have seen this custom as a business.Care no longer exists during the process of thiscustom.”Hesaidabillwasbeingpreparedwhichwould

THE Department of Education in the Li-bode District has intervened to bring anend to a drama over an “evil spirit” at thePort St Johns Senior Secondary School.

Violent protests by pupils over the al-leged spirit and the failure of the princi-

pal to act brought trial exams to a stand-still.Pupils, particularly girls, were collaps-

ing and some stopped using the pit toilets,saying there was an evil presence there.District deputy director Mongezi

Mkhentane said they had already held ameeting with parents and another wouldtake place tomorrow (Friday, October 9).

Mkhentane was reluctant to divulgerecommendations made at the last meet-ing with the parents, saying everythingwould be decided at the next meeting asthe pupils had not been part of the previ-ous one.He also gave no clear answer about the

whereabouts of the principal.Reliable sources have said that the prin-

cipal was told to stay at home and the dep-uty principal was acting in her place.ButMkhentane denied that, saying a de-

cision would be taken at the next meeting.The sources said that although the

South African Democratic Teachers’ Un-ion supported the principal, the parentshad said she must leave the school be-cause of fears for her safety.

THE chief of the AmaBhala in Flagstaff,Mwelo Nonkonyana, has admitted that hismurdered son abused alcohol and that at thetime of his death he was trying to save himfrom the problem.

“He agreed to stop because he respectedme,” he said.Nonkonyana was speaking during the fu-

neral in Marashu location, Flagstaff, last Sat-urday of his son Bulumko, a prominent law-yer who was slain recently in Mthatha.Bulumko’s body was found with head inju-

ries near the railway station in Mthatha onSeptember 21.Nonkonyana said many of his family mem-

bers had died because of alcohol abuse.“I curse alcohol in my family. My elder

brother Masizakhe, who was a magistrate,died in a car accident because he was drunkand my younger brother died because hislungs were damaged by alcohol.“Now it is my son, but in his death I want

to tell the sons of the royal family to abstainfrom alcohol.“I don’t know why our family members

keeponusingalcohol because I can see it doesnot like us,” Nonkonyana said.He called on all the sons of Iinkosi to stop

abusing alcohol because it jeopardised theirlives.He also said crimewas a problem inMthat-

ha.“Mthatha has changed now as crime is tak-

ing centre stage and even South Africa as awhole is dominated by criminals.“In our country it is no longer safe, so we

need to stand up and fight what is seizing ourfreedom and say no to crime,” he said.He thanked the police for their quick re-

sponse after the death of his son as a 24-year-old man was arrested three days after thedeath of Bulumko. He is expected to appearbefore theMthathaMagistrate’s Court onOc-tober 14.“You cannot just spill the very rare blood

of a royal family and think you will be freeafter that,” Nonkonyana said.He called on the AmaBhala nation to calm

down and give justice a chance to play itsrole.The funeral was attended by traditional

leaders, lawyers, judges and the communityat large.

THE Deputy Minister of Trade and Indus-try,MzwandileMasina, has urged theEast-ern Cape to take advantage of its strengthin agriculture and become a leading agro-processing hub in South Africa.

He was speaking at a business and agri-cultural seminar in Mthatha.“It is important for everyone to note that

the Department of Trade and Industry isthere to create an enabling environmentfor all our aspirant entrepreneurs,” hesaid.“Our mandate as defined in the govern-

ment’s National Development Plan is to en-sure that we help South Africa industrial-ise, and that we stimulate activity in the

agro-processing sector by helping createagro-parks and industrial developmentzones.” Masina said the Eastern Capetopped the country’s ratings in livestockand wool production.“We must ensure that we explore advan-

tages around these strengths and createvalue goods that will help us move SouthAfrica forward and out of a consuming na-tion.“By achieving this,wewill have achieved

the goal of making sure that our citizens,especially those in rural areas, are includedin the mainstream economy,” Masina said.King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Munici-

pality mayor Nonkoliso Ngqongwa saidfour hubs in the agricultural sector hadbeen earmarked for the Eastern Cape.“It gives me great pleasure to announce

that one of those hubs will be right here inthe King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality.“This hub will go a long way to ensuringthat we arrest the flight of skills to majorprovinces like Gauteng and the WesternCape and it will also stimulate the produc-tion capabilities of our province,” the may-or said.The business and agricultural seminar

was hosted by the Sakhi Isizwe Youth De-velopment Agency in partnership with theKing Sabatha Dalindyebo Municipality.Relevant government departments, pro-

fessionals, municipalities, youth organisa-tions and institutions of higher learningwere brought together to share knowledgewith the youth on the different business op-portunities available within the farmingand agricultural sector.

He said the government had mobil-

LETTER TO THE EDITORLETTER TO THE EDITOR

REPORTER

FARMERS in the rural village of Ntshiqo, be-tween Tsolo andMaclear, are working with theInstitute of Natural ResourcesNPC (INR) to testrainwater harvesting techniques in their home-stead gardens.

This participatory action research is part ofa Water Research Commission-funded projectentitled: “Up-scaling of rainwater harvestingand conservation on communal crop and range-land through integrated crop and livestock pro-duction for increased water use productivity”(Project no. K5/2177/4/).The project is investigating how rainwater

harvestingandwater conservationcan improvecrop and livestock water productivity.Waterproductivity is avaluable tool formeas-

uring how effectivelywater is used. Itmeasuresthe total beneficial outputs in relation to theamount of water used. This is particularly im-portant because South Africa is a semi-arid andwater-scarce country.“Rainwater harvesting is any system that col-

lects and stores water; for example, a dam is arainwater harvesting system, as is a roof watercollection tank (‘JoJo’ tank),” says JonMcCosh,project leader, Institute of Natural Resources.“Thebasicelementsofarainwaterharvesting

system are a collection area (for example, a wa-ter catchment or a roof top) and a storage area(a dam or a tank),” says McCosh.With so many different techniques to choose

from,theresearcherssatdownwithfarmersand

discussedthedifferentoptionsavailabletothemand selected the preferred technique in partici-pation with the farmers.The farmers chose contour rainwater har-

vesting, probably because this is what they arefamiliar with. Working with four farmers tostart with, they implemented micro-catchment(in-field) rainwater harvesting and conserva-tion. This means that the field itself is used tocollectandstorerainwater.Contoursarespacedat two- to three-metre intervalsontheslope.Thespace between the contours generates runoffwhen it rains. The water collects on the con-tours and goes into the soil, where plant rootscan use it.To test the effect of rainwater harvesting on

yield, farmers divided their fields and plantedaportionof thefieldthewaytheywouldnormal-ly plant (the control) and the other portion wasplanted using the rainwater harvesting tech-nique. Results from the first year of researchshow promise.BaweniSokhombela,whosegardenis0.2hain

size, almost doubled his yields by introducingrainwaterharvesting (440kg ofmaize comparedwith 264kg using his normal practice – this isequivalent to an increase from 1.2t/ha to 2.0 t/ha).Gloria Quvile farms 0.3ha of land near her

homestead. Her harvest from the control was1 500kg, while her harvest from the rainwaterharvesting treatmentwas 2 300kg. This is equiv-alent to an increase from 5.1 t/ha to 7.8t/ha, anincrease of more than 50%.“Unfortunately not all farmers got good re-

sults. Weeding fields is difficult work and somefarmers couldn’t control weeds adequately, re-sulting inpooryields.Ata farmers’day, success-ful farmers showed off their fields and sharedtheir experiences with rainwater harvesting.This generated a great amount of interest withfarmers and the farmers who did not get goodresults were encouraged to try again, said MrNongcawula of the Eastern Cape Department of

Rural Development and Agrarian Reform.“The results from the first year of research

suggest that rainwater harvesting in fields candramatically increase crop yields for farmers.By intercropping with fodder plants, soil healthis improved and there is additional feed availa-bleforlivestockinwinter.Ourresearchwillcon-tinue to double-check that the results from thefirst year are repeatable,” says McCosh.

A series of activities will follow throughoutthe month.Oliver Tambo, the longest-serving president

of theANC,wasbornonOctober27, inNkantololocation, Bizana, and that is why theORTamboDistrictMunicipality hosts various activities tocelebrate the life of this icon from the region.Although the Mbizana Municipality falls un-

der the Alfred Nzo district due to municipal de-marcation, theORTambodistrict continues cel-ebrating the legacy of this respected man.Delivering the memorial lecture, Eastern

Cape Premier Phumulo Masualle describedTambo as a father and architect of the societybeing built today.“Hewasavisionary leaderashesawthegreat

journey that lay ahead in the 60s.“That is why his friend Nelson Mandela de-

scribed him as a pure-gold leader.

“That is why he never gave up in his endeav-our to liberate this country even thoughhewasleading the ANC during a difficult period. Hesaw through all trials and tribulation until thepath going home opened in 1994. He may be nomore, but his vision to build this country muststay on,” Masualle said.He said Tambo inspired the present leader-

ship with his teachings of how to serve people.He expressedhis gratitude toTambo’s family

for allowing the ANC to use their son, withwhom they ended up never spending timewithas his time was spent in the struggle.HedescribedTamboasanextraordinaryper-

UAsanda Deyiwase Flagstaff uthi akakwazi ukulandelaindlela elungileyo yokutya kuba nguye yed-wa ophila neHIV kokwabo futhi akaseben-zi. Uthi kokwabo bathanda ukutya okuna-mafutha nemi-limili kakhulu .Naxa kunjalo, uDiko ukholelwa ukuba

A DRIPPING tap orleaking toilet can onaverage waste up to30 litres of water anhour.

This, multipliedover thousands ofleaking pipes andtaps across South Af-rica, cascades into anavalanche of lost wa-ter.To conserve this

life-giving resource,President Jacob Zu-marecently launchedthe War on Leaksproject to addresswa-ter loss from leaks.It calls onSouthAf-

ricans to fix leakingtaps, toilets and pipesin their homes andcommunities.While SouthAfrica

has sufficient waterresources to meet itscurrent needs, our fu-ture requirementscan only be securedthrough effective andtimely smart water-management op-tions.South Africa is a

water-scarce countryand unless we takedrastic measures topreserve and savewater today, therewill be a serious wa-ter challenge that isworsened by the ef-fects of global warm-ing and climatechange.Climate change is

felt through the year-ly rise in averagetemperatures and in-tense summer heatwhich could result inour rivers, streamsand dams coming un-der severe pressure.The drought in

KwaZulu-Natal offersaglimpseofthereper-cussions that couldaffect greater parts ofSouth Africa. Largeareas of the provinceare living with waterrestrictions.It is a reminder

that our water re-sources are not infi-nite. Every drop ofwater is precious andwe all have a part toplay in protecting it.We can therefore

no longer blindly as-sume that taps willnever rundry, or thatwater will flow per-petually. The clock isticking and we mustfind ways to ensurethatourwater isusedsustainably andshare equitably.“When you see a

leaking tap, close it.When you see a leak-ing pipe on the road,inform the authori-ties,’’ Zuma said.“Nobody should

waste water.“It is very scarce

and we could findourselves in difficul-ties if we do not actnow to save water,”he said.

who cross at the robot as if they don’t havea right to be there. What is worse is thatthe green robot is showing that they havethe right of way.Come on gents, let us also give respect to

The top 25 finalists for the Miss SA 2016pageant were announced last week andMngonyama is one of those who secureda spot among thousands and thousands ofentries from around South Africa.

Luyolo is studying at the Nelson Man-dela Metropolitan University (NMMU) inPort Elizabeth towards a bachelor of artsdegree, majoring in psychology and soci-ology.“I still can’t believe that I was chosen

as a finalist. It’s an amazing feeling,” shesaid after being asked how she felt aboutbeing chosen as one of the girls in the Top25.“I want to try to uplift the youth. I want

to encourage and serve the people.”She also holds the crown for Miss Ma-

melodi Sundowns 2015, and this has ena-bled her to build stronger bonds with peo-ple.“If I get the opportunity to take the Miss

SA 2016 crown, I will not only empowerwomen,“I will empower men to, as they are the

ones who need to protect our women.”Luyolo is currently in Johannesburg,

where she and the other girls are attend-ing workshops and receiving training onhow to carry themselves as young women.The Top 25 made their very first public

appearance on Sunday (October 4) at theCell C Playing for Pink Ladies Invitation-al Polo to show their support in the fightagainst breast cancer.The next step in the competition is the

judging process and the selection of theTop 12.
