WITHwaterrationingal-ready invoked in partsof the regionand likely

tobestrengthenedandaslackofrain turns to drought, the relia-bility of themid- to upper-SouthCoast’s water supply is becom-ing an increasing concern to therelevant authorities.

As the largest water servicesprovider in KwaZulu-Natal,Umgeni Water is also con-cerned. It hostedamajor strate-gic conference on the subjectamong the province’s local au-thorities inUmhlangaonFriday25July.Thiswastargetedat“de-veloping solutions to the chal-lenges and their implementa-tion”.

If this sounds as leavingmat-ters late, that is not the case. Agreat deal has and is beingdonethrough the combined efforts ofwater services suppliers, sup-plemented and motivated byUmgeni Water. This is aimed atmaximising adequate, qualitywater supply, but that supply isreliantonthevagariesofnature.

Some 60% of the mid-SouthCoast’s 45 megalitres a day wa-ter supply south of the Aman-zimtoti distribution node is de-rived from Umgeni Water’ssources with the area’s damsandother sources supplying thebalance.

President Jacob Zuma has en-dorsed the commitment ofR847 million over the next threeyears to eliminating water supplyconstraints and the bucket sanita-tionsystem.Theconference is look-ing at putting that into practice inKZN including the mid and northSouth Coast.

To increase water resourceavailability, major infrastructureprojects are being implemented inthe region, suchas the lowerTugelascheme and the upper and lowerMkomazi schemes.

Desalination and recycling arealternative resources that are alsobeing considered to meet futurewater supply needs in the region.

Confronting the sensitive issues,the conference split into workinggroups under independent observ-

ers WilliamMoraka of the SA LocalGovernment Association andconsultant Baker Ngubane ofTalentline Consulting group.

These explored the challenges,their causes, strategic solutions,what steps should be continued,what new ones adopted and whatshould be abandoned by the sector.

In addition to the infrastructuralissues, assessments of the distribu-tion structures such as regionalmunicipalities were presentedwhich showed that not one KZNstructure is ranked among the topcategory.

eThekweni and Ugu wereranked in the middle category, de-fined as acceptable, but notpreferable ratings.

Umdoni hasrapid turnoverof managersSETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

SINCE mid-2011 when a new councilwas elected, followed by a newmunici-palmanager, theUmdoniMunicipalityincreased its seniormanagement fromfour to seven by creating three newposts.

Three of the originals quit, leavingthe financial services GM as the onlysurvivor. Two of the posts — generalmanagers corporate services andtechnical services —arevacant, await-ing their third incumbent over thatperiod. As far as the community, whoare effectively the “owners” and the“customers” of a municipality and themunicipality are concerned, those twoare among its important departments.

Such turnover in suchashortperiodis worrying, suggesting either poorselection of appointees or internal in-stability or both. Regarding selection,the procedure has been revised to in-corporate checking of references priorto shortlisting, interview by a selectionpanel containing a specified limitationon the number of councillors and in-cluding an independent expert, and acompetency evaluation of each of thetop three candidates produced by thepanel.Thefinalselection ismadebythecouncil in a general meeting, based onthe results of the evaluation.

According to Democratic AllianceCouncil caucus leader Edwin Baptie,the ANC’s Umdoni caucus, in the proc-ess of selecting a newgeneralmanagertechnicalservices,isrepudiatingthere-vised procedure that their party com-mitted to.

“Theychoseto ignorethecompeten-cy evaluation results obtained by pro-fessional consultants and voted infavour of an applicantwhowas consid-ered‘notappointable’bythecompeten-cy-based evaluation.

The DA is considering submitting acomplainttotheMECandrequestinganintervention on the basis that this deci-sionhasbeenmadecontraryto legislat-ed requirements. It would appear thatcadre deployment remains the keydeterminant in spite of the frequentfailure of the previous appointments.

THEY CHOSE TO IGNORETHE COMPETENCY EVALUA-TION RESULTS OBTAINEDBY PROFESSIONAL CON-SULTANTS AND VOTED INFAVOUR OF A CANDIDATEWHO HAD NOT BEENRECOMMENDED.’DA Council caucusleader Edwyn Baptie

Wheelchairchallengeplanned


THE Inkanyezi Foundation, whichconcerns itself with the affairs of thedisabled, has initiated planning for awheelchair challenge at ScottburghMall.

The challenge is aimed at makingshopkeepers and service industriesaware of the problems encounteredby disabled people while shopping.

Scottburghmall management hasgiven its blessing to the project and

Inkanyezi is approaching malltenantssuchasFNB,WoolworthsandFood Lover’s Market to come onboard.

Inkanyezi chairman RufusVeeriah points out that the idea isnot to have wheelchairs racingaround the mall, saying that safetywill be paramount.

“We envisage a type of treasurehunt in which participants, ratherthancompetitors,willhavetoacquirecertain products or services and re-port back with them.

“That will highlight the practicaldifficulties faced by wheelchair-bound people and we hope some ofthe shop owners or managers willagree to participate themselves togain first-hand experience of theproblems and issues,” Veeriah toldthe Fever.

Intervention needed in Durban Metro PoliceON behalf of the DemocraticAlliance in theeThekweniCouncil,I have called onCommunity SafetyMEC Willies Mchunu to exercisehis oversight authority inDurban’s Metro PoliceDepartmentasamatter ofurgencyfollowing a spate of disturbing re-cent media reports highlightinghowdys-functionalandineffectivethey have become.

Itwasrecentlyreportedthatfivecity Metro police officers hadallegedly turned rogue and hi-jacked an uMhlanga businessmanat gun point before robbing him ofbetween R70 000 and R170 000.

It isalleged that theyusedanof-ficial Metro police vehicle whichthey duly signed out at theirstation’s gate.

This vehicle, fittedwith a track-ing unit, is depicted as taking theroute they took during the hijack-ing includingbeing stationary out-side the victim’s business.

Other reports have highlightedhow Durban Metro police evadedanUmkomaasSAPSvehiclewhichattempted to prevent them fromdumping homeless city vagrantsandwhoongaaddicts on theSouthCoast.

Again it was reported that

Durban Metro Police chief CyrilNzama’s bodyguard ThamsanqaMbongwa had misplaced hisofficial firearm while off duty.Mbongwa has reportedly costratepayers almost R1 million indamaged cars written off while hewas behind the wheel and that hefailed to report the loss of his offi-cial firearm until 10 days after theevent in contravention of the Fire-arms Control Act.

It is clear that theDurbanMetroPolice Department is becoming aliability by brazenly breaking thelaw they are expected to uphold,terrorisingcity residentsandcom-

mitting crimes.I urge Mchunu to step in

speedily as their failure reflectsnegatively on his department aswell.

I will be tabling amotion in thisregard at the next sitting of theCommunity Safety portfolio andif Mchunu is serious aboutrestoring residents’ faith in theDurban Metro, he will heed theDA’s call.

Cutting the dogs of war looseTHE possibility, mooted in sec-tions of the national press, thatthe South African Defence Forcemay have to retrench large num-bers of its members at a time likethis is incredible.

Forastart,putting largequan-tities of people, many of whomhavebeen trained to kill, onto thestreets is mind boggling,particularly when our policeforce is already struggling tocontain the existing threat to lawand order.

Secondly, SouthAfrica is firm-ly in themiddle of its biggest everstrikeseasonwiththeconsequent

threat to that law and order.When I was in the defence

gorce many years ago, assistingthecivilauthoritytomaintainthatlaw and order was one of ourmore unpopular jobs, but in timeof need, it was vital.

Marikana showed that the po-lice arenot very goodat doing thejob themselves. If theyhave to cutback, Isuggest that thepoliticiansstop joining in every little warelsewhere in Africa before theyencourage one to start here athome.

Thank you to majorsupermarket chainFOR the pastmonth I was unable tosourcePicknPaysodawater (Idon’tlike any other brand), despite talk-ing at lengthwithmanagers, assist-ant managers and staff.

So on Friday at about 2.30pm IwentontothePicknPaywebsiteandcompleted the “contact us” sectionrelaying my dissatisfaction aboutthe situation.

By the time I got home at around4.15pm, Pick n Pay’s brandmanag-er had phoned me and sourced a

supply of soda water for me.Thentwolocalbranchmanagers

also phoned me and said they hadsupplies and would personally putaway my “stash” in their office forme to collect.

The service and care of all thePick n Pay managers concerned isastounding and I thank them all fortheir kindassistance. This is indeedgoing beyond their call of duty.

What is building inspectorate doing?WHAT is the Umdoni Municipality’sbuilding inspectorate trying to do?

They are driving around andlooking at every property and Iknow that a few people inPennington already got letters ask-ing for engineers’ certificates,glazing certificates and all sorts ofstuff for buildings that were builtand finished a long time ago.

I spoke to a builder who assured

me that the Act, asking for all thesecertificates, only came out in 2011.

A while ago a Pennington resi-dent complained in your paper thatit takes so long for plans to be ap-proved.

Why not sit at your desks andfinish the work that must be doneand get the plans approved withina month instead of harassingeverybody else with this kind of

stuff.And, while we on the topic of

plans and certificates, has any ofthese new houses built in Malan-geni got approved plans and certifi-cates? It is not fair that new housesand additions everywhere shouldfall under the same Act?

I am just asking.Concerned Resident

EDITORIALCOMMENTDefyingown rules

THE dangers of preferring onegroup over another should beevident to the ANC.

Based on its history and thefact that it committed to theevaluation of skills rather thanpolitical persuasion in selectingsenior staff in municipalitiessuggests that it had figured thatout.

However, giving up on cadre

deployment is clearly a hardmove to make, especiallyat the lower levels wherepolitical clout is the onlysubstitute for intellectualcapacity or technical ability.

Even the most obtuse shouldrealise that people promoted forno other reason than for theirpolitical views are a threat toachieving the growth and im-

provement in circumstancesneeded to keep them in power.

Political views and intellectare not necessarily mutually ex-clusive, but nor are they mutu-ally inclusive.

If Umdoni is not to experi-ence more management insta-bility, its ANC component shouldadhere to the selection processtheir leaders introduced.

‘Silent Protest’ againstsexual violence, rape>> Central to the protest is the public act of showing solidarity with rape survivors

ON Friday 1 August at thestart of Women’s Month,thousands of volunteers will

participate in the eighth annualSilent Protest to draw attention torape, educate the public about theirright to post-exposure prophylaxis(Pep) after rape and to demand bet-ter services for survivors.

Theprotest,organisedforthefirsttime in Durban by the Aids Health-care Foundation (AHF), in associa-tion with St Michael’s LutheranChurch, aims to highlight rapesurvivors’ right to Pep in order toprevent HIV sero-conversion. The

demand for greater access to Pep isin linewith AHF’s 20x20 Campaign.

Central to theprotest is thepublicact of showing solidarity with rapesurvivors.

The protest will take place from6am to 5pm in Durban at StMichaelLutheran Church, 43 Milne Street,Durban CBD.

Government crime statistics re-veal that 66 000 sexual assaultswere reported in South Africa lastyear. Of these, only 6.5% were suc-cessfully prosecuted and less thanhalf of one percent of perpetratorswill serveany jail time.Studies show

that many rapes are not reportedthough. These statistics demon-strate the culture of impunity inSouth Africa, where rape is com-monplacebecausethereisanunder-standing thatnopunishmentwill re-

sult.When rape is reported, the rateofconvictionislow—courtcaseslastonaveragethreeyearsandintimida-tion and victimisation are common.Purpose of the protest>> Raise awareness around the epi-demic of rape in South Africa, high-lighting thesilencearoundsexualvi-olenceand thestate’s inabilityorun-willingness to support rapesurvivors, provide adequate healthcare including HIV services and ac-cess to justice.>> Demonstrate the connection be-tween HIV and gender-based vio-lence, creatingaspacewherepeoplecantalkabout theirownexperiencesof sexual violence, HIV and stigma.>> Challengetheproblematic imple-mentation of the Sexual OffencesAmendment Act as it relates to ac-cess to Pep.>> Stop victim-blaming and begintalking about why rape survivorsdon’t report and don’t access Pep.>> To symbolise rape survivorswhose voices are silenced by rapeand to represent themillions of rapesurvivorswhodonotreporttheirvio-lationandcan’taccesshealthservic-es. — Aids Healthcare Foundation

That was followed by tea, coffee,cakesandbiscuitscontributedbyres-identsandthentheimportant issueofthe score sweepstake. Most showedheart over head, backing the Sharksto perform another miracle, but it

soon became apparent to the audi-ence that the genie had escaped fromthe bottle. Throughout 80 minutes,notasinglewatchercouldfindreasonto rise from his or her chair in glee.

Cost of education in SA increases>> Lack of financial management skills leads to students finding themselves in debt

PRESIDENTBarack Obama saidhe only finished paying off hisstudent loan eight years ago.

It demonstrates the huge commit-mentof takingondebt topay forone’sstudies.

In the U.S., student debt will thisyear amount to $1.2 trillion. In SouthAfrica, there are similar challenges.

For example, student debt at theUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal is aboutR220 million, while R166 million isowedbystudents toUnisa, indicatingthat similar financial challenges arefaced in paying back student debt.

Wikus Olivier, debt counsellor atDebtSafesaidpeopleoften find them-selves paying off student debt, whentheyshouldinsteadbepayingofftheirmortgage or saving for their chil-dren’s education.

“The increasing cost of education,with a lack of financial management

skills often leads to students findingthemselves in debt once repaymentsontheirstudent loanscommence,”hesaid.

Olivier said students should con-sider other options before taking outa student loan.

There are scholarships and/orbursaries that do not need to be re-paid.

It is important to understand theterms of the loan.

Questionssuchas,“canIgeta low-er interest rate”, “what will my

monthly repayments be” and ”howmuchwill this loan be in total?” needto be dealt with.

There are anumberof factors thatcan assist in avoiding or paying offstudent debt quicker once you haveentered the corporateworld, said Ol-ivier.• Work out how much is enoughBorrowonlywhatyouneedwhentak-ing out the loan. Determine howmuch money you need to cover stu-dent costs, academic material, yourcost of livingandyour family’s contri-bution.

Youdonothavetoaccepttheentireamount of the loan that you are of-fered.

Be sure to use the loan for what itwas intended.• Draw up a budgetDrawupabudgetassoonasyouhavegraduated that includes the monthly

repayments youneed tomake.Budg-eting will ensure you know whereyour money goes each month, andthat youremainwithinyour financialmeans.• Shop aroundDon’t just take the first option. Shoparound for cheaper rates and be pre-pared to negotiate.• Consider working while you arestudyingThis will ensure you do not have toborrow asmuch as you originally in-tended.

Tutoring, bar tending or being awaitron are all ways of making extracash to ensure that your basic needsare covered.

Forsome,takingoutastudentloanmay be the only way to afford a terti-aryeducation.However, thisdoesnotneed to be a constant source of finan-cial stress. — WR.

‘toeter’ to makeyourself heard>> toeters from all corners of the world have already signed up

THEworld’s first Afrikaans so-cial media platform, toeter, isdeveloping a life of its own

since its inception two months ago.Toeter,which appeared onSouth

African social media landscape forthe first time onMay 1, is the brain-child of FransRoelofse andhis teamof fellow creative thinkers anddoers at the toeter headquarters inGreen Point, Cape Town.

“Toeter was developed as a dis-tinctively Afrikaans digital commu-nicationsplatformwithanextendedrangeof featuresandapplicationca-pabilities than similar platformssuch as Twitter,” explains Roelofse.

“To date, toeter has already cap-tured the imagination of thousandsof users and fans via toeter.comandthetoeterFacebookpage.Thereis also a growing interest frompotential commercial and contentpartnerswhich furtherunderscoresthe platform’s potential as an alter-native and niche advertising medi-um — even at this early stage intoeter’s life,” Roelofse says.

One of the first content partnersto sign up with toeter was theAfrikaans DStv channel KykNet,which has also been toeter’s officialmedia partner since its launch.@KykNet currently boasts oneof thelargest followings on the toeter plat-form.

What is even more impressiveabout the growing interest in toeteris that the platform is currently onlyaccessible via direct web access.Although the platform boasts a100% mobility and compatibilitywith iPhone, Blackberry andAndroidplatforms, theappwill onlyby available by mid-September.

Andrew Walmsley, toeter teammanageratTechsysDigital, saysde-spite the association created by thename, toeter is more than just anAfrikaans version of Twitter.

“In technical terms, toeter is acomplex network of integrated sys-temsthatoffersasophisticatedmass

platform and unprecedented acces-sibility.

“What this means is that toeterpresentsmore than just a communi-cationplatform—ithastheability todevelop into a digital homeland foreveryone who embraces Afrikaansas a language and a culture.

“Toeters from all corners of theworld have already signed up. Justlastweek Inoticedanewtoeter fromNashville, another one fromLeipzigand then one from the Far East.

“We are excited to welcome ourglobal villagers and hope that theywill find a new digital home intoeter,”says Roelofse. — Supplied.

Sadtu wantslonger holidaysfor teachers“WE want even longer school holidays.”

That was the sentiment of South AfricanDemocratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) mem-bers who yesterday expressed outrage at thereduction of school holidays, meaning teach-ers must stay in schools until mid-December.

TheirangerwasexpressedatSadtu’sKwa-Zulu-Natal conference in Durban when theunion’sgeneral-secretaryMugwenaMalulekeoutlined challenges facing teachers and edu-cation sector.

Malulekesaid inthepast teacherswouldgoon holiday at the end of November and returnto classrooms towards the end of January.

“We were not working until December 13and reopening on January 7,” he said.

As if that were not enough, Maluleke saidteachers found themselves having to workduring school holidays.

“How all of a sudden do we see a situationwhere a teacher has got to conduct examina-tions on the last day of school before we closeand then is further expected towork through-out the holidays?” he said.

Maluleke was referring to teachers havingtomark examination papers during holidays.He said teachers deserved more school holi-days because they also spent their weekendsmarking papers and preparing for lessons.

Maluleke’s comments come in the contextof teachers being expected to conduct morn-ing, afternoon, Saturday, winter and springclasses as a way to improve matric results, inparticular.

While no specific resolution was taken onthe holidays, Sadtu listed a number of issuesit was prepared to take up with the depart-ment.

KwaZulu-Natal Federation of GoverningBodiesofSouthAfricanSchoolsmanagerPaulRencken said he was not aware of changes inthe legislation reducing school holidays.

However,hesaid increasingtheschoolhol-idays to suit the needs of the teachers wouldbe a disadvantage since the already existingschool days did not provide enough time toteach pupils. — WR.

Lolu suku belunyingxenye yokwelula isandla njengoba kuyinyanga kwalowo owayenguMegameli walelizwe uDkt Nelson Mandela.

Abafundi baseMason Lincoln nothishanhloko uNksz Happy Shoba bevakashelwe amalunguiSouth African National Defence Force (SANDF) nabefundisi bamabandla ehlukene eMlazi bebungaza inyanga kaTata uMadiba ngokupenda isikole nokunikela ngokudla ngeledlule

KUNINGI okusihlabe umxhwele si-nozakwethu uNosipho Mkhizengenkathi ngizungeza, sibhekaobekwenziwa ngabantu abehluke-

ne begubha imizuzu engama-67yokuhlonipha uTata uNelson

Mandelangokwenza imise-benzi emihle.

Sibone ukubalulekakokuzinikela emseben-zini zonke izinsukungaphandle komhla ka-18 kuNtulikazi (July).Nanxa kukuningi

okusihlabe umxhwele, ng-abe ngikhuluma iphutha

umangithi akukhookusijabhis-ile. Kodwa-ke ngizokhu-

luma ngokusihlabe umx-hwele ngoba yikhonaengikholwa wukuthikuyakha esikhundlenisokusijabhisileokungezukusiza mun-tu esikhundlenisokushiya abanyebenxapha ngenxayokucasuka.

Sesike sabhalakaninginingi kulengosi ngokuthi uk-wenza okuhle em-phakathini aku-fanele kube yintoyemizuzwana no-ma eyosuku olu-

lodwa kuphela. Ku-fanele kube ngumkhu-ba wansuku zonke.

Ngamafuphi nje,kufana nalolusuku olu-

dume ngokuthi olwezithandani,umhla ka-14 kuNhlolanja (Febru-ary) oluhlonishwa ngokuthi yiVal-entine’s Day, okuthiwa kufanele sit-shengise ukuthi sibathanda kan-gakanani o ‘my fohloza’ bethu.Kuthiwa kufanele silandele okwen-ziwa yiloValentina ndini sengathinguyenayedwaoyincushekwezoth-ando.

Thina kule ngosi sathi akukhomuntu ozositshela ukuthi kufanelesibatshengise nini, kanjani,isikhathi esingakanani o ‘my fohlo-za’ bethu ukuthi siyabathanda.

UNksz Happy Shoba onguthis-hanhloko eMason Lincoln SpecialSchool eMlazi nozakwabo, banga-banye okufanele babe yisiboneloemphakathini, naba wubufakazibokuthi uthando lomphakathi ku-fanele kube wusiko oluqhubekayo,kungabi yinto kaTata uMadibakuphela. Lokhu bakutshengisangendlela abazinikele ngayo emse-

benzini wabo.Ukuba uNksz Shoba nozakwabo

babengenalo uthando lwabafundibabo,ngabekudalabashiyaeMasonLincoln. Baqeqeshwe ngokwaneleukuthi bangathola umsebenzikwezinyeizindawo,nomaezimbon-ini nakwezohwebo. Abanye babobangafika ezimbonini bathole izik-hundla eziphezulu ngenxa yama-khono abanawo.

IMasonLincoln yisikole sabafun-di iningi labo abaphila nokukhu-bazeka. Bambalwa abantu abanga-ba nesineke sokubhekana nesimosalaba bafundi.

Siphakathi kwehositela laseGle-belands naseMlazi. Sizungezweyimijondolo. Sekuke kwaba nezigi-gaba eziningi lapho bona lababafundibebayizisuluzezigilamkhu-ba.

Izindluzokufundelaazikhoesim-weni esifanele. Abanayo indawoyokudlela efanele (dining hall).Abanye babo baphila ngemithi yas-esibhedlela kodwa abanabo abahl-engikazi abaqinisekisayo ukuthibayidla ngendlela esemthethweni.Ebusika kuthiwa baba wukudlakwamakhaza.

UNksz Shoba uthi sekwaphucu-ka amaqupha engqongqoza emin-yangweniehlukenekuhulumenina-kosomabhizinisi abakhulu ecelausizo lokuqinisekisa ukuthi abafun-di baphila kahle njengezinye izin-gane, kodwa kube nhlanga zimukanomoya. Uthe ngenhlanhla kaNku-lunkulu bayabonga ukuthi kukhonaabanyeosomabhizinisiabakebaba-

size, kodwa bayabadinga nabanye.Uthi okubuhlungu kakhulu uku-

thi sekuphele iminyaka kufikaizikhulu ezahlukene zithembiseukusiza kodwa kube nhlanga zimu-kanomoya.Uthi akazi ukuthi kufikekuvimbe kuphi.

Ayikho into ebuhlungu njen-gokubona ingane isebunzimenikodwa ingekho indlela ongayisizangayo ngisho ngabe ufisa kangaka-naniukuyisiza.Kodwanomakunja-lo, uNksz Shoba nozakwabo bathingeke bayishiye iMason Lincolnngenxa yothando lwezingane.

Kujabulisile ukubona abefundisibamabandla ehlukene eMlazi na-masoshabezofaka isandla ekulung-iseni nasekukhucululeni ukungcolakulesi sikole. Sikushayela ihlombelokho.

Kodwa sengathi kungahlala ku-sezingqondweni zabaholi bakahu-lumeni nakosomabhizinisi ukuthiusizi lwabafundi baseMason Lin-coln Special School, ngeke luphelenjengoba kuphela uNtulikazi (July).

Okunye okuncomekayo ukuthinakubona abafundi bakulesi sikole,kukhona abangakubekanga pham-bili ukuthi baphila nokukhubazekakodwabazithuthukisa baze batholaiziqu zaseyunivesithi njengoMnuzMhlonipheniGumedeowafikaemn-cane kodwa namhlanje uneziqu ze-Bachelor of Arts. Kumanje wenzalokhu okuthiwa ama-methods e-University of South Africa (Unisa)ukuze abe nguthisha. Kukho konkelokhu uzifundisa yena, akanalo ux-haso.
