Council softens on debt?>> Umdoni councillors want to know why ANC majority approved payment of a R9,5 mln claim by project manager

SETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

THEUmdoni Council appears tohavemadea180-degreeturna-round over the payment of a

R9,5million claimby projectmanag-er Liquid Platinum cc. Obscure refer-ences have been made at severalmeetings in council to what is beingtermed the “Liquid Platinum affair”.Councillors and municipal officialshavenot helpedbydodging any opendiscussion in spite of the DA’s at-

tempts to ask questions and get an-swers.

Liquid Platinum and contractorSanyati Civilswere involved in sever-al major contracts in the UmzintoCBD area during 2011 and 2012. Atthe time, questionswereaskedaboutthe cost of some of these projects andwhetherVATwas includedorexclud-edinthoseamountsandwhethervar-iation orders had been issued for de-partures from the original contractsspecifications.

Whentheseissueswereapparent-

ly clarified, the council’s ANCmajori-ty and the municipality’s senior offi-cials strongly represented a determi-nation that the numbers were finaland that legal efforts to obtain morewould be resisted.

It now appears that, for no appar-ent reason, it hasbeendecided topayR9,5 million towards those claims.The fact that this is contrary toexpec-tations is emphasised by commentsfrom the finance department that thesituation is potentially embarrassingin these cash-strapped times.

Councillors,ledbyDAcaucuslead-er Edwyn Baptie, want to know whythe ANC majority has, apparentlywithout legal concurrence, elected toapprove the payment. Baptie at-temptedtohavetheissuediscussedatthe recent August Exco meeting.

ANC councillors were quick to sti-fle this, stating that the issue is underreview and that Baptie’s request is“unprocedural”. Certainly, com-ments at the finance portfolio com-mittee meeting seemed to confirmthat the decisionwill present themu-

nicipality with considerable embar-rassment at a time when funds arescarce.

As it is, themunicipality is negoti-ating loans tomeet some of its liabili-ties and projects.

“Whathaschangedto leadthemtoapprove the demand which they soconvincingly argued against before?It leavesdoubt andspeculationaboutthe motives and it could leave ourlong-suffering ratepayers to pick upthe tab for dubious management,once again,” said Baptie.

Toti post boxarea a drug den?SONJA NELL>>ucnews2@feveronline.co.za

AFTER receiving information from a con-cernedmemberofthepublic,theFeverreport-erwent to investigate the conditionof thepostboxes at the Amanzimitoti Post Office.

On Sunday morning, 25 August found onthe floor in front of the boxes was rubbish,urine, saliva and burnt tinfoil and cut straws,which may indicate drug use.

The concerned member said that she sus-pects that the post box area at the Toti post of-ficeisbeingusedasadrugden.Sheapparentlyfound evidence of this on the floor on numer-ous occasions when she collected her post.

TheFeverwent to thepost officeduring theweek, but found the area at the post boxesclean and in adecent condition,with nodrug-related itemsaround. The floorwas also clearof junk mail.

When inquiring at the post office’s generalmanager about the allegations, the Feverwasinformedthatthestaffarenotallowedtospeakto the media.

The Fever reporter was given the contactnumber of a media spokesperson.

The post office general manager said thattheyareawareofthecomplaintsandhavetak-en it upon themselves to try to keep the areain front of the post boxes clean.

When questioning those who have a postbox there it is clear that despite the effortsmadeby thepost officemanagement, thepostboxes are sometimes, especially early in themorning andoverweekends, found in aques-tionable state, with urine on the floor, wallsandagainst thepostboxes, junkmail isstrewnalloverandevidenceofdrugusewerethemostcommon complaints.

At the time of going to press, the post officemedia spokesperson could not be reached forcomment and the SAPS declined to comment.

THEUmdoniMunicipality’s largestdebtor at around R5 million, is theUgu District Municipality — it’sparent district municipality.

While not surprising, consider-ing thecloserelationshipand inter-municipality dealings, a number ofcouncillors from both sides of thehouse find this of deep concern.

This is because Ugu is alsoknown to be financially strappedand much of the debt is both longoverdue and results from failure topay its share of joint undertakingssuch as running the Disaster Cen-tre.

Questions and urgings fromscouncillors such as Speaker SykesNaidoo and opposition leaderEdwynBaptie overmanymeetingshave failed to induce much pro-gresss. In fact, debts in Umdoni’sbooks from governmental organi-sations in general are an issue.

Naidoo said that they reflect a“somewhat cavalier disregard ofdebt processes and that a commit-ment towards a payment plan islacking”.

At the recent finance meeting,Baptie suggested that Umdonishould approach the Treasury re-garding outstanding debt.

“It’s theonlywaytogetourmon-ey,” he said.

It was agreed that approachestowards the debtors on a high,equal level such asmayor tomayorand municipal manager tomunicipal manager should be ex-plored.

The intention of the bill, which amends the criminal Procedures Act, is to enhance the criminal justice systemand allow the taking of DNA samples and the establishment of a DNA database within the SAPS.

Dear Fever,I HAVE addressed the following open

letter to Mr Sangweni, the leader of theMazibuyeAfricanForumandtheirattackon South African Indian people.

Ihavetakencarefulnoteofyourorgan-isation’s recent comments that areframed in hatred, anger and racism andare seen as an attack on innocent Indianpeople in general.

Your organisation’s most recent com-mentsthatIndianpeopleshouldnotbene-fit from black economic empowermentand affirmative action and that Indian-ownedlandshouldbedistributedtoblack

South Africans is devoid of any logic andonly serves to deepen the historical divi-sions in society, the legacy of apartheidthat wounded our nation so deeply.

I need not remind you that apartheiddiscriminated against all non-whiteSouth Africans to the extent that many ofour fellowbrethren had to fend for them-selvesunderverydifficult circumstances.

To promote the punishment of thosewho were able to rise against the chal-lenges of apartheid advances the sameapartheid principles of discord, hatredand division.

I amwriting in thehope thatmycorre-spondence will bring about some sem-blanceofsanityandcallonyourorganisa-

tion to refocus its energies onsocial cohe-sion and nation building instead.

It is rather unfortunate at a timewhenournationonceagaincelebrates the lega-cy of our beloved Madiba your organisa-tionhaschosenapaththatfostersdivisionrather than unity.

It is in thespiritofNelsonMandela’svi-sionofonenationwithonefuture,Iextendan invitation to your organisation to joinme in a discussion that would lead us tobuild a brighter future for all South Afri-cans, irrespective of their race or histori-cal circumstances.

MASSIVEdebtappears tobeaffectingoneof themunicipalitieson the lower South Coast. This is something to keep an eye on,and although the situation is under scrutiny, one hopes it willbe corrected sooner rather than later.

An RTI cop has been charged with corruption for allegedlytaking a bribe from a motorist.

So, there is good news, disturbing news and news that justcan’t be missed to look out for in this issue.

Bad, good, astonishing,entertaining

Dear Fever,I AM beginning to believe that taxi drivers

are colour-blind. It’s not often that one sees ataxistopataredtraffic light, letaloneanamberone.

There should be CCTV cameras at allhotspot traffic lights, throughout the country.Yes, thiswould be costly, but it would certainly

be life-saving device well worth the money.If municipal mayors and the like can get a

R800 000motorcartogetfromoneeventtoan-other and go homewith, surely the budget canbe stretched to include CCTV cameras at cer-tain traffic-light hotspots.

Dear Fever,I SO admire and thank the SAPS for

They are so good that internationalagencies call on their expertise and skilltohelp inotherpartsof theworld—that’s

HAPPENFUTURE

Born in the ‘lefty zone’Dear Fever,

IWRITEinresponsetothedelightfulsnippet“Enter the lefty zone”, Fever, 9 August.

I went to Regents Park School in Johannes-burg as a younggirl. InGrade1 Iwas taught by

a Miss Myron, asmelly old bag whoalways wore a longfur jacket because ofthe “scales” on herhands and arms andwho smelt of Dettol.She always held apencil or the chalkwith a tissue woundaround it.Well, fromday one she had it in

forme because I was left-handed. Shewas de-termined to break my “curse”. One instance Irememberwell waswhen she tiedmy left armbehindmybackand tried to forceme tousemyrighthand.Thensheputaboardaboutmyneckand made me to stand outside the classroomuntilmymotherarrived.Fromthenonthough,I was never picked on again by Miss Myron.

WhenIwasyoungI tookballetclasses,how-ever, when everyone was “sailing” off to theright, there I was “sailing” off to the left.

Most microwaves handles are suit right-handedpeople.Toiletrollholdersaremostlyontheright.Tablesettingsarefor“righties”.Ihavea bad sense of direction as I always tend to goto the left. My sliding door in my beautiful cot-tage has right-handed door handles making itdifficult for me to lock from the outside. I triedto teach my eldest son (now 55) how to writewhenhewasyoung,messeduphiswriting for-ever.

Mymiddleson(54)isambidextrous.Heoncehadapianolidclosedonhisright-handandhadto learn how to write with his left, which hemostly uses to this day.

Now at 75 I am often asked to teach craft-making I’minvolved inandat last I canproudlysay: “Sorry I’m left-handed and it is very diffi-cult to teach any other old duck.”

So I know all about being left-handed, buthave survived to share my story.

Stel ‘n voorbeeld vir die jeugBeste Fever,

ELKE generasie blameer die een voor homvir sy probleme en vandag se tienerproblemekan in baie gevalle toegeskryf word aanhedendaagse ouers.

Sommigeouers laatkindersdeesdae toeompartytjies waar drank vrylik beskikbaar is tehou.Hulle laatkinders toeomterookentattoesen ringe engate oral deurhul lywe te kry.Hullelaat kinders toe om na partytjies en plekke tegaan waar daar nie ouertoesig is nie. Kindershoefvolgenssommigeouersnieaansportofsk-oolaktiwiteite deel te neemnie enword tuisge-hou as die kindniewil skool bywoonnie “wantdaar gaan niks vandag by die skool aannie”.

Kinders word toegelaat om op ‘n vroeëouderdomreedshuleiebesluiteteneemtenop-sigtevanwathullewildoen,waarheenhullewil

gaan en hoe hulle dinge wil doen.En wanneer hierdie selfde kinders dan

fouteer dan wil hierdie selfde ouers hul handein die lug gooi en vra: “Wat gaan in die kindersse koppe aan?”

Dis doodeenvoudig — presies dit wat jy asouerby joukindvasgelêhet—diswat in sykopaangaan. Kinders leer deur die voorbeeld watgesagsfigure stel, nie deur dit wat hulle gesêword om te doen nie.

Kykbietjiewat op joukind se foonaangaan;met wie hy praat en hoe hy met mense praat.Letopmetwiehyuithang, enstel vasofdieple-kke en huise waar hy gaan kuier drankvry endwelmvry is. En die belangrikste: maak sekerdat die voorbeeldwat jy stel een iswat jou kindmet trots kan navolg.
