PHOTO: NTUNTU DWEBA KHAYA MAGENU >>[email protected]F ORMER ANC Youth League general secretary Sindiso Magaqa has accused Harry Gwala regional ANCYL spokesperson Zwakele Mngonyama of smoking dagga. However, Mngonyama retaliated by saying that Magaqa wants to “re- duce” him and confuse people by spreading rumours that he is smoking dagga. Magaqa lashed out at Mngonyama after he blamed Magaqa in the Fever last week saying that he (Magaqa group) in- tends to destabilise the looming Harry Gwala regional conference as they are earmarking positions in municipalities and he does not have ANC membership. “I have reached a stage where I am going to hit this boy hard. He is just a boy and he is mad. Really, I am not going to allowthis.Ihavekeptquietforsuchalong time about him talking nonsense about my name,” said furious Magaqa. He said his capacity of thought is high and he is going to engage with Mngonya- mainthesamewaythathe(Mngonyama) engages with him (Magaqa). “They were disappointed because I did not join Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters, and I am not respond- ing to their disappointment. “Now they fail to match me politically and are scared to see my shadow,” said Magaqa. Former ANCYL president Malema was expelled from the ANC and formed his own party and Magaqa was suspend- ed for sowing division within the party, but his suspension was lifted in April 2013. Magaqa now lives in his home town of Umzimkhulu works as an ANC member. “If wanted to join EFF, I would join in broad daylight and be active. I under- stand that some members are new in our organisation. Those who grew with me in the ANC know that I am not scared of anything. I am not interested in their dirty politics and I find it very strange when I am busy with my own things, that people use this boy [Mngonyama]. “He shouldn’t speak unfounded things as though he was smoking dagga. I am here because I joined the ANC volun- tarily. Others thought that when the Inde- pendent Electoral Commission released namesofthosewhowouldgetintoParlia- ment my name would appear on the EFF list. Now they are disappointed. “I grew up in the ANC and no one will take my right away because my blood is black, green and gold,” said Magaqa. “I am the senior of this boy ‘maan’ and I am his leader and they must take him through political education on what a leader is, then he will understand leadership.” Mngonyama denied the smoking dagga allegations made by Magaqa. “He thinks he is bigger than anybody, that is why he never lasted even three months in his position as secretary general,” responded Mngonyama.

TheprojectbyWorldVision’s Ixopoareade-velopment programme (ADP), in partnershipwith Rhodes University, provided literacy andnumeracy improvement skills training to 23teacherswhorepresented19schoolsundertheUbuhlebezwe Municipality.
These teachers, including a principal, re-ceived their certification at the World VisionIxopo Education Awards ceremony on 29 Julyat Ixopo Primary. Ubuhlebezwe Municipalitydeputy mayor Thulani Dlamini was also in at-tendance.
Paula Barnard, national director of WorldVisionSAsaideducation formsanintegralpartof their programming framework.
“Our Ixopo ADP has been involved in thearea for the past 13 years, striving to make asustainable impact on child sponsorship, edu-cation, HIV/Aids and health. Improving litera-cy and numeracy play an important part inthese efforts,” she said.
The project underscores the importance of
literacy and numeracy particularly in light ofrecent reports by organisations such as theWorld Economic Forum which cites literacyandnumeracyskillsasmajorobstaclesinover-coming SA’s education challenges.
WorldVision in Ixopo also launchedProjectCount,anorganisationspecialisingindevelop-ment,pupil supportandcommunityeducationprogrammes, and aims to improve parent in-volvement in their children’s school work.

SINCE the beginning of Women’s Month the govern-ment and stakeholders have celebrated women’srights under the theme “Celebrating the 60th anni-versary of the Women’s Charter”.
One of the most powerful female politicians in theHarry Gwala region, ANC Women’s League secretaryin the Harry Gwala region, and the Harry Gwala Munic-ipality deputy mayor, Nthuseng Duma commendedthe municipality and the regional ANC for what sheterms “the impressive development and empower-ment of women”.
Duma said even though a lot has been done toempower women in the region, a lot still needs to bedone. “While we appreciate and commend the workalready done, women still lag behind in certain sec-
tors. For instance in our region women are mostly in-volved in agriculture only, that is why women needto own businesses,” she said.
She said that violence against women and chil-dren undermines the work done in advancing therights of women in South Africa.
“The high rate of rape and violence against wom-en is very disturbing and if we don’t fight it vigorouslyit will take us back to the dark ages.
“The fact that in our region we have two femalemayors — one in Kokstad and one in Ingwe Municipali-ty — is proof that the ANC is serious about genderequality and this is reflected in our governmentalstructures as many women are in key managementpositions through deployment,” she said.
She said more focus on women’s education,health, access to productive resources such as landand social infrastructure, is still needed.

GREETINGS to all Kwa Sani residents. It is a privilegeto meet you once again this week granted to us bythe Almighty above.
August is a special month on the South Africancalendar — it is a month where we celebrate the wom-en of South Africa who braved the brutality of theapartheid government in the struggle for freedomwhen they marched to the Union Buildings on 9August, 1956 in protest against the extension of passlaws for women.
The women of Kwa Sani are women of virtue, theyare unique, strong and beautiful, and these are thewomen whom you meet every day in the streets ofUnderberg, Himeville and surrounding areas of KwaSani.
As Kwa Sani Municipality we ask that allwomen to wear doeks on their head every Fridayduring August in celebration of the women of KwaSani.
A woman is a jewel of this Earth. Their contributionto society must be celebrated everyday not just during
August.The Kwa Sani municipality has planned an event
to be held in Himeville this month where women ofKwa Sani will be invited to honour the event with theirpresence as we celebrate 2014 Women’s Month.
We encourage people to respect one another.Women’s Month is a tribute not only to the
thousands of women who marched on that day in1956, but also as a tribute to the pioneers of the wom-en’s movement in this country.
Today I am proud to say that they are no longertaking a back seat, but actively participate in allsectors of development and government, and theKwa Sani Municipality is one example that reflectsgender equity when it comes to employment.
To all the women of Kwa Sani, you are wonderful,important and phenomenal, do not be trapped bydogma, which means living with results of other peo-ple’s thinking.
Stay blessed and have a wonderful weekendahead.
Doctor Nash, I have issues andmarriageprob-lems. We have one child but my husband hastwo other children.
He has a job but like most men he has twoweaknesses,womenandalcoholand they takehis money and his time.
I am not keen on divorce because my sonwould miss his father.
I still love him and that is my problem be-causehecangetawaywithanythingandIhavealways taken him back nomatter what he hasdone.
He has done some really terrible thingswhile under the influence.
Dr. Nash, how do I handle this problem?Help. Mrs. N.G.
Dear Mrs. N.G. No matter how you handle
thismatter youare facedwith two inescapablefacts—rightnowyouaremarried toyourson’sfatherandsecondly,heisapractisingalcoholic.
Alongwith those facts comeyour statementthat you love him, andon top of all that you saythat he is unfaithful.
I honestly think that the best way for bothyou and this man of yours is for him to showyou his love be going into a rehabilitation unitfor three weeks and joining AA and faithfullyattending.
He has to give up alcohol, or he will nevergive up women.
And if he does not give up those twohe will never hold a job for long.
And I am willing to bet that according toyour description he will also be in debt rightnow, and that is bad news for the family.

Who is to blame for muthi killings?WATCHING a recent TV programme on the is-sue ofmuthi killings, I was shocked to hear theclaim that it is sangomas who are largely toblame for such atrocities, a claim I know to beuntrue.
I had a lot of experience dealing with “real”sangomas (not hoaxes) in my earlier days.Thereare threecategoriesofmedicinepurvey-ors — sangomas, nyangas and mthakathis —and it is the latter—theabathakathi—whoac-count for the rituals, a practise that is not ac-ceptable to sangomas and nyangas.
ThesetwocategoriesplayimportantrolesinAfrican medicine, the nyangas being doctors,chemists and herbalists, mainly use tree bark,
roots andother vegetable sources formedicineto cure and heal people.
Sangomas are highly respectable and re-spectful spiritual people who hlola or seek outevents that have happened or might happen,indicating a solution.
Shaka Zulu was spiritual and disliked theabthakathi, seeing themas dangerous and un-dermining his authority as king and punishedthem severely.
It is important in these modern times thatsuch issues are known and that blame lieswhere it should lie.

Addiction comes with a high priceCAFFEINE, alcohol, dagga, heroin, ecstasy,mandrax and cocaine are all drugs, but theyhave little else in common. Whereas caffeineand alcohol are legal drugs, drugs such as dag-ga, heroin, ecstasy, mandrax, and cocaine areillegal. Further, you could experience a verypleasantresponsetoonedrug,yetanotherdrugcouldhaveaveryfrighteningresponse–itcouldeven kill you.
Drug addiction seduces you into wantingmore, different and stronger drugs against thenatural tolerance of your body.

HARRY GWALA DISTRICTMUNICIPALITY
Harry Gwala DistrictExecutive Mayor Mluleki Ndobe
Honourable District Mayor Cllr ME Ndobe wishes all gems ofthe Harry Gwala District a happy Women’s Month.
“Women of all races marched to Pretoria’s Union Buildings on 9 August 1956, to present a petitionagainst the carrying of passes by women to the then prime minister of the country. It was this marchthat laid a solid foundation for women emancipation, and gave birth to many laws that protect theirrights in South Africa today. Women continue to play a critical role in various spheres of society asleaders, entrepreneurs and sport women.
The Harry Gwala District Municipality joins the nation in celebrating and recognising the “unsungheroines” who make contributions in moving South Africa forward. As part of Women’s Monthcelebrations, the municipality held a women’s summit in Underberg on 31 July 2014. During thesummit women had frank discussions on various issues that affect them and came up with manyresolutions on how to forge ahead and make significant contributions in society. Although there arestill many challenges that women to face in South Africa, the government have done tremendouswork in ensuring true empowerment for women. This is evident in the establishment of the Wom-en’s Ministry with the sole mandate of championing the achievement of women’s socio-economicempowerment and women’s rights.
As Harry Gwala we are proud to be the only district municipality in KZN to have a female municipalmanager.We must also remember that August is dedicated to women because a woman’s struggleis the struggle for all.
Together let’s move South Africa forward. Happy Women’s Month!

TLC Hospicenews“If you strike a woman, you strike a rock.”
EVERY year on 9 August we celebrateWomen’s Day in South Africa, a public holi-day that pays homage to the women of ournation.
On 9 August, 1956, more than 20 000women of all races and ages from everycorner of South Africa marched together tothe Union Buildings in Pretoria. Thesewomen marched against the pass lawsthat proposed further restrictions on themovements of women under the apart-heid laws then. This was an amazing dem-onstration of the resilience and couragethat politically aware women of the timehad.
One hundred percent of TLC’s staff arewomen. Most of these women face daunt-ing challenges every day. They have to walkinto the field where they face stigma anddenial from community members who ac-tually need their help.
Fear and despair often follow diagnosisof life-limiting illnesses such as HIV. Manypatients suffer from a lack of support fromfamily and neighbours. Sometimes theonly support they receive is the support ofour care givers. Most patients live in abjectpoverty. This poverty prevents many in-fected people from maintaining adequatenutrition to help prevent the onset of
illness.Our care givers are often tasked with
obtaining food parcels or assisting pa-tients in obtaining documentation to ap-ply for Sassa grants. Our care givers faceeach day with a smile and a spring in theirstep.
They are steadfast in their faith andknow that the care they are able to giveto the community means they are makinga difference to their community.

Bumper July forGMSA brands>> Month saw previous sales records surpassed
CHEVROLET, Isuzu and Opel continued the trendof strong sales in July, giving General MotorsSouth Africa (GMSA) a 10.1% share of the mar-
ket for the month. Total South African new passengervehicle sales in July stood at 57 670, and 5 821 ofthese were from the GMSA stable.
This allowed the company to rise above the trend,despite the South African motor industry declining by4.7% for the period from January to July, comparedto the same period last year. July also had 23 sellingdays, which had a positive impact on the overall mar-ket.
“July saw Chevrolet models, including the Spark,Cruze and Captiva, surpass all previous sales recordsachieved in 2014. The final numbers were 1 020 for
the Spark, 199 for the Captiva and 356 for the Cruze,”said Brian Olson, GMSA vice-president of vehiclesales, service and marketing.
“The sixth generation Isuzu KB is enjoying thebrand’s highest share of the one-ton segment in fiveyears as 1 379 Isuzu KB pickups were sold in July,” saidOlson.
“In addition, the Opel Corsa, Astra, and Merivaeach recorded their best retail performances for thisyear. Opel volumes have now increased by by 54%so far this year, when compared to January to July2013. This illustrates that South Africans are echoingthe sentiments of European buyers, who are lovingthe Opel brand and causing it to enjoy a resurgencein the market.” — Supplied.

Third generation Kia is bold andback
THE third-generation Kia Sorento will be unveiled inKorea next month, featuring bold, swept-back exteri-or styling, a premium interior look and luxury features.
The new model sports a lower roofline, higherbeltline, a more muscular stance and deeply sculptedbody surfaces. Together with a larger, more upright“tiger-nose” grille, these design changes have raisedthe the bar on sophistication and style.
The cabin will also create a new standard of luxuryin its segment, thanks to a modern, wrap-arounddashboard, high quality soft-touch materials and arange of advanced on-board technologies.
Interior styling was led by the brand’s design teamin Frankfurt, Germany, which cited the finest modern
Swiss watches as a key influence during the designphase. The smoothly contoured cabin features soft-touch materials, leather and stitching, as well as Kia’slatest human-machine interface.
A large infotainment screen dominates the centreof the dashboard, which employs long, flowingshapes to envelope the driver and front passengerand emphasise the width and space of the large cab-in.
The new Kia Sorento will be showcased in Koreain late August, and is due to make its European pre-miere on Thursday 2 October at the 2014 Paris MotorShow. It is expected to arrive in South African show-rooms in the first quarter of 2015. — Supplied.

Lower the revs onroad rageSIMPLE tips can prevent a minor traffic event fromescalating into road rage.
This is according to the Automobile Association,which urges drivers not to overreact to inconsiderateaction of road-users.
Common triggers of road rage are when peopledon’t wait their turn at stop streets, cut other motor-ists off or tailgate them.
“What is the maximum loss of time caused bysomeone not waiting their turn at a stop street? Itis rarely more than five, maybe 10 seconds,” an AA

“Reports of road-rage incidents seem toshow that peoplespend more time argu-ing over the initial errorthan they would havelost by simply taking itin their stride.”
The AA reminds thepublic that drivers oc-casionally make mis-takes, and advised thatwhenthishappens,oneshould defuse the situ-ation by apologising tothe parties concerned.
“When we drive, weshould take our cuefrom normal behaviouroutside of the vehicle,”the organisation ad-vised. “Society runssmoothly when we areable to tolerate minorfailings politely. We canmake driving safer foreveryone by carryingthis attitude.”
