THE SAPS and traffic officers will soonhave more eyes to fight crime in Mata-tiele as the municipality is to installcameras to beef up surveillance.
The municipality will also employmore traffic officers, upgrade traffic of-ficers’ work place and buy five mobileradios to boost officers’ communica-tion before 31 March, 2015.
CCTV cameras have been adoptedby the municipality as one of the stra-tegic instruments in the fight againstcrime and to improve traffic flow.
On Friday Nomasomi Mshuqwana,acting on behalf of Matatiele mayor,briefed the media on the escalation ofcrime saying this resulted in the instal-lation of CCTV cameras.
“We will install 10 CCTV camerasand all will be working before 31 March,2015,” said Mbedla
Matatiele Local Municipality Com-munity Services Manager SiyabulelaMzobanzi Mbedla said they budgetedR800 000 for the cameras, which hesaid he believes will also contributemuch in the fight against the dailystock theft in the Matatiele area.
“We want to capture crime whereit occurs and the CCTV cameras will as-sist law enforcement agencies toquickly identify criminals and I believeit will also help the justice system interms of providing evidence.”
He also promised they will makesure the cameras are always in workingorder.
THE Alfred Nzo District Munici-pality executive mayor EuniceDiko says she is happywith the
progress made on key projects in theMatatiele area.
She said this is an indication thatthey are responding to State of theNation and provincial, district andlocal municipality addresses.
Addressing the media at Sara LeeB&B last Friday, Diko was accompa-nied by councillors from Matatiele,various municipality officials andgovernmentdepartment staffwhoal-so visited the projects.
This comes after service deliveryinitiatives, amounting to about
R473.2 million, were introduced.The projects include water
projects amounting to aboutR350 million,constructionof thenewMatatiele municipal offices, councilchambers, themunicipal park estab-lishment, construction of MatatielePrison by the Department of Correc-tional Services, amounting toR60 million. The projects have creat-ed more than 70 jobs for locals.
The delegation also visited Boka-mosoPrimary inHarryGwala,whichcostR19millionandthe R302 millionKhotsong TB Hospital currently un-der construction.
The new health facility will havemore than120beds andhas state-of-the-art equipment to also treatmulti-drug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
Phase twoof theproject is expected tocreate more than 350 job opportuni-ties.
They also visited the Coega Devel-opmentCo-operationDriverTrainingSimulator to assist new drivers andprovide skills development to them.
ThemayorsaidAlfredNzoDistrictMunicipality and Matatiele LocalMunicipality have developed amulti-millionrandplantoaddresschalleng-es facing Matatiele communities.
“Our combined mayoral pro-gramme Executive committee out-reach is part of the district, local mu-nicipality and public participationprogramme which is aligned to theImbizo programme initiative,” saidDiko
She said they want to reach out to
the youth, women, people with disa-bilities, ratepayers and the businesssector. She advised municipality andgovernment officials to respond to is-suesaffectingcommunitiesquicklybyvisiting theminorder toprovide feed-back.
The mayor promised Matatielecommunities that water and sewageproblems will be thing of the past.
“I am saying that if a water pipebursts it must be treated as an emer-gency.”
She promised they will create astrong relationship with ratepayers’associations to address social eco-nomic challenges.
Shealsoaskedmanagement toen-sure that they address challenges inthe billing system.
A DISGRACED Matatieleconstable was arrested lastWednesday for allegedly rapinghis 13-year-old stepdaughterwho he lives with in HarryGwala.
It is alleged that the suspectbegan raping the girl in Febru-ary and continued until Junewhile her mother was at work.
The ordeal was revealedwhen the child told her friendthat her stepfather has been rap-ing her all that time. Accordingto Matatiele SAPS spokespersonRaphael Motloung, the child’sfriend told her mother what herfriend had said and her mothertold social workers about it.
“The social workers informedthe child’s mother and reportedthe matter to the police in order
for a case to be opened againstthe suspect,” he said.
The suspect made his firstappearance at the MatatieleMagistrate’s Court last Thursday.He appeared again for bail appli-cation on Wednesday. The casewas postponed to 3 September.
He is being held in the hold-ing cells.
The case will then be referredto Independent Police Investiga-tive Directorate for further inves-tigation since the suspect is anSAPS member.
Motloung urged the communi-ty to report matters of this na-ture to police or social workers.
“Things like this are some-times not reported to protectpeople, but we say this mustcome to an end because childrenare being abused. Perpetratorsof crime must be reported nomatter who they are.”

DA calls on MEC to intervene at GKM>> Party wants the MEC to take action against GKM speaker and ANC councillors for their alleged failure to allocate portfolios
THE Democratic Alliance hascalledonNomusaDube-Ncube,MEC for Cogta, to intervene in
what he terms “shocking and uncon-stitutional”. The opposition party atGreater Kokstad Municipality wantsthe MEC to take immediate actionagainstGKMspeakerZolaniMhlongoand ANC councillors for their allegedfailure to allocateportfolios to twoDAcouncillors for more than a year.
In a statement issued by DA KZNDeputy LeaderFrancoisRodgers, theDA states that Section 160 of the Con-stitutionandSection79of theMunici-
pal Structures Act are concise in theresponsibilities and requirements ofestablishing committees within mu-nicipalities.
“The DA is of the opinion that theANC is playing political games withthemanagement and functions of theGreater Kokstad Municipality. Therecan be no other logical explanationwhy it should take so long to assignportfolios,” Rogers said.
DA caucus leader and Exco mem-ber in the GKM council, CyprianNyembezi,hasreportedlyraisedcon-cerns with the speaker on numerousoccasions over the past year, with nosuccess.
RodgerssaidtheDAhasgoneasfar
as to propose to the speaker that CllrLwanda Madikizela serve on the fi-nance committee and MPAC, and DACllr Karen Walker serve on the com-munity development committee ashas happened in the past.
GKMSpeaker ZolaniMhlongodis-missed Rodger’s claims saying he is“playing politics out of nothing”.Mhlongo saidwhat theDA is saying isnot true. “First of all, their councillor,LeonKotting, failed to serve the com-munity and resigned and it has notbeen a year since he resigned. Theytook a long time to replace him. ThenewDAcouncillorhasbeenwiththemfor only three months. I have beenaway from work for month so that is
why he has not been allocated a port-folioyet,”hesaid.Hesaidhewouldre-shuffle the committees at a specialcouncil he has scheduled.
“The DA is getting impatient be-causetheywanttheircouncillorstobeplacedwhere it suits them,but it doesnot work like that,” Mhlongo contin-ued.
He said DA councillors do not at-tend committee meetings. “They arethe ones who failed themselves andthe people who voted for them be-cause they do not attend committeemeetings. For example, Cllr Walkerwasplacedtoserveonthecommunitydevelopmentcommittee,but sheonlyattended one meeting, Kotting was
the chairperson of the governancecommittee, but he did not attendmeetings. What do we do aboutpeople like that?”Mhlongoasked. Hesaid theRodgersdoesnotunderstandpolitics. “I don’t knowwhy he is call-ing the MEC on this non-issue, theMECknowswhen to intervene, this isnothing, theDAjustwants toplaypet-ty politics,” he said.
“For that matter I don’t under-standwhyIhavetodealwithFrancoisRodgers because he is in Parliament.He can’t dictate to this municipality.He must stick to micro-managingthese councillors in Kokstad. It is notour fault that he is short-sighted,”Mhlongo said.

ALFRED Nzo District Municipality municipal managerBanzi Silinga assures the Matatiele communities thattheir water is clean and safe to use.
He said this after some communities raised con-cerns about the state of water in the Matatiele.
Addressing the media at Sara Lee &Breakfast onFriday, Silinga said their water has been tested.
“Our water is clean, safe and healthy and we testit every month. Now, what is important is to publishresults every month so that communities will haveno doubt about the quality.
“Inside our institution we have environmentalhealth services and outside agencies, so our water isalways clean because we care about the well-beingof the Alfred Nzo District Municipality community,”said Silinga.
He said there is no way that communities will haveto drink unhealthy water.
ExecutiveMayorEuniceDikoalsoechoed Silanga’swords, maintaining that the water is clean and thattests are taking place in laboratories.

WARM greetings to the people of Umzimkhulu.Ntsikeni electrificationThe contractor has been introduced at Ntsikeni to
undertake the electrification project, the value ofwhich is nearly R12 million.
Poor relationships, which were developed as a re-sult of misunderstanding between the Ntsikeni com-munity and the municipality, have been ironed out.Ntsikeni residents have shown commitment in work-ing with the municipality despite all odds.
Supporting the initiative of Umzimkhulu was re-flected in their eyes and they promised to curb thetheft of cables which is evident throughout electrifi-cation projects. Policing the implementation of the
project will be done by community members, butwithout receiving any incentive. In the spirit of corpo-rative governance we have welcomed the commit-ment, and the contractor was elated by the mood ofthe meeting.
The mayor of Umzimkhulu Cllr Mpabanga con-gratulated them for their patience without protestingabout service delivery. Instead, the mayor said theleadership of the community chose to engage withthe municipal leadership amicably. It had now reapedapositiveoutcomealthoughitwasnotdonepromptlybecause of capacity constraints. Corinth substationis now up and running for the reduction ofthe electrifi-cation backlog in the northern part of Umzimkhulu.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Dear Doctor Nash,I LOVE walking in the morning,
to the sound of the birds and thefresh air. I grew up the hard way.My mother was the second wife ofmy father and I was 10 years oldwhen my other siblings were bornand I had to help look after them.
Mother ran the home andlooked after our livestock. When Igrew up and got married, it meantan escape for me, but it was outof the frying pan into the fire.
My husband was very strict. Hedid not allow me to study or eventalk to other people and I felt likeI was a slave. He could only show
his emotions via gifts and he neverspoke about love. He died threeyears ago and I still feel the sameas when he was alive. I feel like astatue and I need to let all theseemotions out. I need help to findmyself. I need to let go, but howdo I?
Please help me Doctor Nash, Iknow you can.
Mrs. K.
Dear Mrs. K. You are notalone in your prison, there aremany elderly people who remem-ber those days when the childrenworked at home and received no
education.The men then were not so dif-
ferent to the men of today if youmeet and talk to those practical,hands-on men. But for you to re-lease your emotions and find thewarm, loving, sensitive personwho is locked inside you, will takesome work. I do believe you willneed a clinical psychologist tohelp you here and that will costsome money unless you can get areferral from a doctor or from ahospital.

I need help ‘finding myself’
DR NASH [email protected] VIEWPOINTZWELIPHANSI SKHOSANAMunicipal Manager
Party behaviour ‘anarchy?’THE recent behaviour of the Eco-nomic Freedom Fighters has beendescribed by commentators andthe ruling party as anarchy. So welook at the meaning of anarchy bydefinition and at some of thethings the EFF has done.
Anarchy means “without orderor without organisation. It meansrule by a person or small group ofpeople who have taken over a gov-ernment or country by means of
force. A condition of political dis-order and confusion”.
Last Thursday EFF membersdisrupted Parliament banging ontables and chanting “pay back themoney”, demanding to knowwhen President Jacob Zumawould pay back money used tobuild his Nkandla residence asrecommended by the PublicProtector.
This week EFF members
stormed the GKM offices, forcingtheir way into the municipal man-ager’s office and holding him hos-tage for two hours demandingthat he release the outcome of in-vestigations conducted within themunicipality.
In the past few months, themunicipality has come tosymbolise rampant nepotism andcorruption.
Are these acts of anarchists oris the EFF a “necessary irritation”as they refer to themselves, hold-ing the government to account —you decide.

GREETINGS to the people of KokstadMunicipal manager’s office inva-
sionThe invasion of the office of the munici-
pal manager by EFF members on Mondaywas uncalled for. They entered the officewith an aim of disrupting not only the mu-nicipal manager, but the entire municipali-ty because work came to a standstill.
The municipality may have challenges,but I don’t think that the way to resolvethem is like what happened on Monday.Some managers were called names that isunpalatable to everyone. The municipalityis a government institution and representseveryone’s freedom of expression however,we must be aware that every right goeswith a responsibility.
The municipality has always assuredthe community that it is prepared to listento everybody who has a concern about is-sues that affect the municipality. Some ofthe issues may be allegations and we can-notactonallegationswithoutconcreteevi-
dence to prove them.As the municipal manager, I cannot just
fire any employee based on allegations orwithout following proper procedures. Ourlabour laws do not allow that. I appeal toeveryone that the municipality is a govern-ment institution and is serving the people.Whenever there are shortfalls we are opento constructive criticism, but trying torender a government institution ungovern-able is not the correct manner in which toexpress dissatisfaction.
As leaders we must be exemplary to thepeople whom we are leading. The commu-nity must work with us on all issues thataffect the municipality. I also apologise toinnocent community members who wereaffected by Monday’s incident.
Women’s MonthThis week is the last week in Women’s
Month and I hope we will continue to re-spect and love our fellow women.
The Ced/Matat Annual Heritage Racewas started in 2013 to reinstate the 24kmrace between Cedarville and Matatielethat used to take place in the early eight-ies and to promote sport in developingathletics in road running, cross-country,and track and field, etc.
Ced-Matat Athletics Club believesthat engaging in sport builds social cohe-sion and doesn’t only act as a deterrentto criminal activities, it is also about giv-ing free expression and creativity bothmentally and physically to humans, es-pecially the youth.
The purpose of this initiative is tobuild a plan that assists in building sportdevelopmentfromgrass-rootlevel,toat-tract neighbouring provinces to partici-pate and promote tourism in Matatielearea through sport.
It also provides economic stimulus ina previously disadvantaged area whichwill boost local business revenue andcreate jobs. Race entry forms are availa-ble from Matatiele Municipal offices andin the Cedarville town hall.
The route is on Route 56 betweenCedarville and Matatiele. The race willcommence at the Swartberg branch out-side Matatiele and will finish at theCedarville sports ground.

Stakeholders will conduct this cam-paign in a form of a dialogue where thepeople of this village will come with solu-tions on how they can solve problems af-fecting this area. The campaign will be on29 August.
World Vision partners with Depart-
ment of EducationA non-governmental organisation,
World Vision, prioritises education by re-sponding to the president’s call that edu-cation should be a societal matter.
This was witnessed when it handedover 200 Tablets to the Department ofEducation. The Tablets contain the entirecurriculum from Grade 10 to 12 for mathsand physical science. These Tablets willbe delivered to previously disadvantagedschools that fall under the Maluti District.
The department thanks World Visionfor its continued support towardseducation.
“We thank you for your support to-wards the department. One will recallthat it was not long ago that you spon-sored our pupils with bicycles to makesure they had access to school easily.”
That is all from us for now, till nexttime, stay safe and be blessed.
Thank you sweet people from sweetMatat, a destination of choice and excel-lence.

HIGH-SCHOOL pupils gathered at the Kokstadcommunity hall last Thursday to take part inthe Dialogue on Drug and Substance Abuse de-
bate.A number of government officials and the GKM
staff also attended as did members of the CPF fromIbisi, Evatt, Franklin, Swartberg and Gowan Lea.
High schools who participated includedShayamoya, Harding, Ndawana, Ntsikeni, Franklin,Glen Edward, Rietvlei and Zwelinzima.
The debate, organised by the SAPS (Kokstad Clus-ter), the Department of Education and the KZNProvincial Community Policing Forum (CPF), was ed-ucational and informative as pupils put across electri-fying comment about the abuse of drugs, alcohol andother substances, particularly in schools.
Pupils offered interesting reasons as to why youngpeople use drugs and spoke about the signs to lookfor in a person whom they suspect is using drugs. Seeright.
Pupils used poetry, song, and motivational speechto get their message across.
Ongeziwe Mbhele, a Grade 12 pupil from NdawanaHigh said people use drugs when they are unhappy,angry or bored.
“A person who is addicted to drugs does not takecare of their physical appearance as they become un-caring and untidy as drug abuse affects one’swell-being and mental state.”
Zintle Lujiva, a Grade 12 pupil from Shayamoya
He also said teachers need to be appreciated asthey are the ones who produce quality pupils.
One of the judges said it was difficult to choosea winning debating team because the level of knowl-edge and understanding displayed by the pupils wasvery high.
“In judging the winners we looked at teamwork,creativity and flow of information,” she said.
Shayamoya High school won most of the awards.

Xolani Motha, also aGrade 12 pupil atShayamoya, encour-aged young people tobe themselves.
“Be confident andbold, be fearless andcourageous, don’t letdrugs give you a falsesense of cheerfulnessas that will destroyyou.”
GKM deputy mayorBheki Mtolo said he wasproud of the pupils, es-pecially because manyof them come fromrural schools.
“The way these chil-dren spoke English andtheir message was verypowerful. I am im-pressed, it shows thatthe youth of South Afri-ca is not a lost genera-tion.”
Some warning signs of drug abuse>> Physical and health warning signs of drugabuse>> Eyes that are bloodshot or pupils that aresmaller or larger than normal.>> Frequent nosebleeds could be related tosnorted drugs (meth or cocaine)>> Changes in appetite or sleep patterns.Sudden weight loss or weight gain.>> Skipping class, declining grades, getting introuble at school>> Drop in attendance and performance atwork- loss of interest in extracurricularactivities, hobbies, sports or exercise-decreasedmotivation>> Complaints from co-workers, supervisors,teachers or classmates>> Missing money, valuables, prescription orprescription drugs, borrowing and stealingmoney>> Acting isolated, silent, withdrawn, engagingin secretive or suspicious behaviour.
