This emerged at a recent EXCO meeting held at City Hall. It was also proposed that people over the age of 60 should be granted the concessionary fare. People with temporary or permanent disability in line with the South African Social Security Association (SASSA) criteria will not be left out. Even though learners between grades one to twelve were also set to benefit but they should make sure that they are in their full uniform when boarding the bus. EThekwini Transport Authority (ETA) Head, Thabo Manyathi said this is just another way of making people’s lives easier in eThekwini. “The way we manage public transport is now changing. In the past the Municipality was not too hands on in terms of collecting money and now we are going to start collecting it. So it’s these kinds of things that have given rise to discounted fares for these beneficiaries,” Manyathi said. He added that concessionary fares will help pensioners since many of them no longer have money to pay for transport when they are visiting their relatives. “They have already made a huge contribution towards the development of the City. So to us this is like giving back,” he said. As the disabled people are also set to benefit from this initiative , Manyathi said it was done because the Municipality did not want them to feel the pinch when travelling since many of them receive grants. “We also want to help parents by offering discounted fares for their kids,” he added. This is expected to come into effect on 1 April. It will be remembered that concessionary fares are not new in eThekwini but previously disabled and elderly people had to stand in long lines waiting to register so they would get their discounted tickets. Manyathi said this would now come to an end, saying that application will now be made at the Sizakala Centres across eThekwini. From the start of June, people will be able to apply for their discounted fares at Sizakala Centres. Concessionary fares are expected to extend, at a later stage, to all other transport operators who have contracts with eThekwini Municipality.

The Capital budget of R5.2bn is directly informed by the needs of the community and continues to reflect the consistent efforts to address the backlogs in basic services and the renewal of infrastructure of existing network services. The major capital investments made by the City has been mainly in water services and housing. “In this year’s budget we are looking at opening up opportunities to fast track development, especially in townships and rural areas. We’ve also made effort to restore our housing delivery record of building 16 000 houses per year and continue the roll out of basic services, especially water and electricity. “Projects like Cornubia, logistics corridor development, the expansion of the Port and the dig-out port are expected to lead to economic growth and job creation,” said Nxumalo.

Electricity tariff will increase by 11%, domestic water will increase by 12.5% while business by 15.5%.

The water increase would have been in line with inflation had it not been for the construction of the Spring Grove Dam. However the removal of the fixed charge will provide some relief to residents.” The budget continues to provide relief for indigent citizens for rates and services.

ETHEKWINI has joined theworld’s largest cities andcorporations in reporting itsclimate change data to theCarbon Disclosure Project(CDP), the Municipal’s EnergyOffice has announced. CDP is an independent, not-for-profit organisationproviding a transformativeglobal system for cities andcompanies to measure,disclose, manage and shareclimate change and waterinformation. According toEnergy Office’s DerekMorgan, more than 3700corporations report to CDPannually, including over 400of the world’s largest 500companies. “Last year, 48major cities, including theC40 Cities ClimateLeadership Group, utilisedthe CDP platform to disclosetheir greenhouse gasemissions, risks andopportunities, and strategiesfor dealing with climatechange.” Morgan said fullanalysis and results from thisyear’s reporting process willbe announced in June, priorto the Rio+20 conference.
Paul Dickinson, ExecutiveChairman of CDP said “Thecities that give clearconsideration to measuringand reporting on climatechange issues will be bestplaced to capitalise on theopportunities from managingthem,” he said. “By disclosinginformation on an annual
basis, these cities arecommitting to transparentclimate action that others canemulate.” Mayor, Cllr JamesNxumalo said theMunicipality was playing aleading role in responding toclimate change within SouthAfrica and on the interna-tional stage. “Internationalsystems like the CDP allowsus to report regularly on theopportunities and risksassociated with climatechange and help us compareour progress with other citiesand companies around theworld.” He said by making theinformation public throughthe CDP.
The eThekwini Municipalityis encouraging the localindustry in Durban to alsobegin recording andreporting climate changeinformation. Over 3,700companies across the world’slargest economies nowmeasure and disclose theirgreenhouse gas emissionsand assessment of climatechange risk andopportunities through CDP.This data is made availablefor integration into localgovernment, business andpolicy decision making.
CDP now holds the largestcollection globally of self-reported climate change data.The full text of Durban’sresponse, as well asthousands of other responses,is available for free on theCDP website atwww.cdproject.net

You see thewater run out of the tap. Thereality is we are running outof water. There is very littlefresh water; in fact less thanone percent of the water thatwe see can be used. We needto safeguard water. In years tocome I will not be here toaddress these issues. Youngpeople such as you will haveto step into our shoes.”

THE Health, Safety andSocial Services Committee(HSSSC) is one of the mostimportant committees withinthe eThekwini Municipalityand has strived to ensure,amongst other things, thesmooth rendering of greathealth care and socialservices to communitiesacross eThekwini.Chairperson of thecommittee, Zandile Gumedespeaks with zeal andconfidence when she outlinestheir plan of action duringher term of office. S’celoKhuzwayo sat down with theChairperson and looked atthe role, challenges and whatlay ahead for the Committee.
With only about a year intothe five year term asChairperson of theCommittee, Gumede has noqualms about the fact thatsome positives have beenrecorded. However shemaintains that even thoughthere have been great stridesmade towards making surethat lives of the people ofeThekwini are changed forthe better, a lot still needs tobe done.
The Committee has under itSocial services is a teamlooking at social issues. Theteam deals with all the socialissues and those that need
the attention of socialworkers are cascaded tothem. “Right now we are busywith the programme lookingat the street kids where we aretrying to assist by providingshelter to some and also referothers to relevant structuresbecause usually some peopleare on the streets for thingsthat can be sorted out,” shesays.
She says they also strive toprovide people with goodhealth care and embark oneducational programmesthrough health, which is alsounder her committee. Parks,Recreation and Culture (PRC)also falls within the Health,Safety and Social ServicesCommittee and so are SaferCities, Disaster Managementand Metro Police. ExpandedPublic Works Programme(EPWP) Social Sector is alsounder Gumede’s committeeand she showered it withaccolades, saying that it hasdone well in job creation.
Amongst the challengesfaced by the Committee is thefailure by some of the officialsto inform and educate thepublic about certainprogrammes before they areimplemented. “Officials needto know that once aresolution has been takenabout a certain programmethat needs to beimplemented, communities
should be engaged,” She said.Another challenge she citedwas the deteriorating state ofMunicipal clinics. She says inthe past people used to runaway from government toMunicipal clinics but nowthings have turned the otherway round. “But we have tochange this situation,”Gumede said.
When their term of officereaches its best before date in2016, Gumede says she wantsto see Durban greeneverywhere. She says she alsowants to see all the Municipalclinics in good state.
The Municipality has hadproblems with the shortage ofburial space and had to givepeople options to do thisamongst which is thecremation which otherpeople vehemently opposed.Gumede says when theirterm comes to an end shewants to see people reachinga stage where cremationwould be treated as a normalpractice.
The Municipality has donea lot in terms of fightingcrime to an extent that it evenpartnered with theCommunity Safety andLiaison Department throughOperation Hlasela where theywere doing crime awarenesscampaigns. Gumede sayscrime is a phenomenon shewants to see her committee

Rights Day. The South Africain the Making – Walk withMonty Naicker exhibitionshowed Naicker, YusufDadoo, Nelson Mandela,Walter Sisulu, Oliver Tambo,Moses Mabhida and othersin their prime. Almost 15 high schoolsattended and walkedthrough the exhibition,where they saw visuals of the1913 passive resistancemovement, Walter Sisuluburning his identity docu-ment, Naicker as a student inEdinburgh and Mandelaholding out his hands abovea caption reading: “It’s inyour hands.”
Trevor Manuel, NationalMinister of PlanningCommission said it wasexceedingly important thatwe take the time to reme-mber the contribution andsacrifices that Naicker andmany others made. “If we
truly want to pay homage togreat leaders like Dr. MontyNaicker and others, we mustbegin to appreciate andvalue the rights that theyfought for by taking ourresponsibilities as citizensseriously. There is still thedemeaning triangle ofchallenges - poverty,unemployment and ine-quality that remains thereality for far too manypeople, therefore humanrights day must be a commi-tment that we all shall notrest until we have overcomethese challenges,” he said.Manuel said while Naickerwas in prison he arranged forhis car to be sold in order tofinance the continuation ofthe passive resistancecampaign therefore we mustall learn to sacrifice so thatwe will have a meaning ofhuman rights day. “Even ifwe do not have much but we
must learn to share the littlewe have to make a differencein the communities just likeour leaders did” addsManuel. Pupils received aDVD and workbook toeducate them more abouttheir country’s rich history.
Councillor Logie Naidoo,Speaker of eThekwini, saidthe idea of the exhibitionstarted in 2010 with theselection of a leader whostood for non-racialism andwas committed to thestruggle against apartheid.
“Monty Naicker was a manof style and substance.
He was a leader whobecame bigger than himself.
We are trying to bring backthe excitement andinspiration of the struggle.
Most of our kids todaydon’t know this history andwe want them to understandwhy we have rights today.”
Naidoo said Naicker was a
doctor by profession but hegave up everything to fightfor a free South Africa, “He isa great example as he madegreat choices in life”.
Presidential spokesperson,Mac Maharaj, said theydecided to bring schoolsbecause youth does knowmuch about the SouthAfrican history.
Maharaj said he hopedthere would be anotherexhibition in the future thatwould deepen the understa-nding of where we camefrom, so that future gene-rations would have an ideaof where they were going.Sinethemba Ndlovu ofGanges Secondary School inMerebank said it was a veryinsightful event.
A SAVIOUR in the eyes of the100 beneficiaries that had toendure going to school withuniforms that were not ingood condition andsometimes barefoot, theJames Nxumalo EducationTrust came to the rescue ofthese learners ensuring thatthey are able to focus onschool activities.
The Mayor James Nxumalotogether with gospel singerHlengiwe Mhlaba urgedpupils from Beacon Ridgeand Uthando Public Primaryto focus on their education ifthey want to be great leadersof tomorrow. To date theJames Nxumalo Trust inpartnership with Gemclothing stores has deliveredabout 100 uniforms to fiveschools in eThekwini. MayorJames Nxumalo said “Theestablishment of the Trustwas to assist disadvantagedlearners and orphans bylending a hand of supportand pushing young minds toreach their full potential. “Even though education isnot our competency as
Municipality, we cannot bespectators. I believe in theprinciple of Ubuntu, and bydonating these uniformswith the help of our partnerswe are changing lives” hesaid.
Nxumalo challengedcouncillors to adopt a school
in their wards and focus on it“We must work as if there isno tomorrow. Let’s use thesepositions that we are electedto make a difference inpeople’s lives.”
GEM clothing stores ownerIris Pandor said, “We, at GemSchool Wear, are proud to be
associated with the JamesNxumalo education Trust inproviding the underprivile-ged learners with uniformsand we hope we have a longassociation.”
“We pledge to donate R75000 towards the building of aclassroom at the Uthando
Public Primary School,” saidPandor.
Mhlaba also addressed thelearners. “Don’t do drugs,they will destroy you. Don’tengage in sexual activities,wait until the time is right”she said.
Esmeraldan Mchunu a
beneficiary of the trust said:“I don’t have words toexpress my gratitude toMayor James Nxumalo andhis team. May their kindnessbe extended to others whoare in need.”
IN its bid to claim back thenotorious Sutton Park inMorningside, eThekwiniMunicipality in conjunctionwith Alliance Francaise andFrench Embassy celebratedthe French and Africancultures on this park onHuman Rights Day.
Until recently, the public
was not able to use the parkfor recreational purposes asit had turned out to be ahome of drug lords andprostitutes.
The day was a feast ofmusic and poetry as peoplecame out in big numbers toappreciate each other’scultures.
The Deputy Head ofLibraries and Heritage, Guy
Redman, said the event wasvery strategic as they alsowanted to accommodate agrowing number of Frenchspeaking people in the City.He said this year is France’syear in South Africa where alot of things French will becelebrated. Next year it willbe South African year inFrance.
“This is a great initiativethat goes a long way towardsaddressing social cohesion inour City. People fromdifferent cultures who wouldnot normally meet are heretogether appreciating cultureand the talent that ourpeople have to share and atthe same time reclaiming avery strategically locatedpublic space, Sutton Park.The time for culture-led Cityregeneration has come,bringing culture back to thecentre of City strategy,” hesaid.
The Head of Internationaland Governance Relations,Eric Apelgren said they feltthat it was high time theyclaim back the park from the
hooligans through activitieslike this one that unitepeople. The activities we aregoing to have in this park willcreate jobs and an enjoyableliving experience of peopleliving around it.
“Using music and arts tobuild bridges between musicand people helps toeradicated xenophobia andracism. With this we also aimto strengthen therelationship between Frenchspeaking people in generaland our sister cities like LePort in Reunion Island,” saidApelgren.
“The celebration was a bigsuccess, people came to thePark and realised howbeautiful it is. Music andpoetry is the best way forpeople to expressthemselves. We want tothank the Municipality forrealising our vision, we willbe staging more events ofthis nature in this park,” saidSara Doignon, Director ofAlliance Francaise.
ETHEKWINI TransportAuthority (ETA) is callingupon citizens to report faultystreets lights, flickeringrobots and untrained peoplewho direct traffic. AndrewAucamp, ETA Manager inUrban Control, said it wasimperative that residents ofthe eThekwini Municipalityreport such incidents. “It isillegal for normal citizens tobe directing traffic.
“People directing trafficneed to be trained MetroPolice officers, as untrainedpeople could also furthercause accidents. They mayalso not be visible due to lackof uniforms. Also, somepeople may obey them andothers not, leading toaccidents. When accidentsdo occur, these informaldirectors of traffic disappearvery quickly,” said Aucamp.
Phakamisa ZondiMarketing Officer from theElectricity Unit alsoreiterated the samesentiment on faulty streetlights and the importance ofreporting them if they are not
working.“It is important to report
faulty streetlights as we maynot know that they are notworking because we rely onthe public to let us know thatinformation and then attendto the problem. As far as therobots are concerned, if theynot working at all, that iswhen the power is totally off,people must report them toour toll free number 0801313111. When they are flickering,they must be reported to 0801313 013,” said Zondi.
He said street lights wereinstalled to make areas lookbright at night. Zondi saidstreet lights also assist infighting crime and make itpossible for people to movefrom one area to the otherwithout fear.
“Ratepayers are the onesthat pay for these streetlightsfrom the Municipality’sbudget and therefore wemust look after them,” saidZondi.
People could also contact0800 333 467 for faultyrobots in their area.
IN an effort to market andboost tourism in Durban, theDurban TourismDepartment together withtrade partners in the Valley ofa 1000 Hills hosted the 1000Hills Coolest Challenge.
This was also part of theEaster Campaign initiative tojust take a short left andknow your City to market itto the visitors.
“The aim of this challengewas to encourage tourism inthe Thousand Hills area andto ensure that the tourismstakeholders and other
people speak knowledgeablyabout the 1000 Hills in theirefforts to sell all the venuesthat are part of the 1000 HillsTourism Association,” saidDumi Mbatha of DurbanTourism.
Mbatha said that this alsostems as a build upcampaign to lure morevisitors ahead of the TourismIndaba scheduled to takeplace in May here in Durbanwhich attracts more than13,000 delegates.
Charles Wells, Chairman of1000 Hills Tourism Group,said local residents andforeign tourists areencouraged to experiencethe Valley of 1000 Hills such

“1000 Hills surroundingareas are less than an hour’sdrive from the City centreand I hope that one day allthe tourist destinations inthe eThekwini region wouldbe linked so that we will havea lot to offer to all ourtourists,” adds Wells.
Janus Horn, GeneralManager of Sica’s GuestHouse, said he was very
excited to participate in theKnow Your City campaignbecause it opens doors forthem as an industry tonetwork and work as a teamon ways to promote andmarket the Municipality.

“WE cannot win the battleagainst AIDS if we do not alsofight Tuberculosis (TB),” thisstatement by Dr NelsonMandela could not have beenmore on point at the WorldTB day event hosted by theMunicipality’s Health Unit atthe Prince Cyril ZuluCommunicable DiseaseCentre.
About 407, 000 cases ofTuberculosis (TB) notified in2009, KwaZulu-Natal and theEastern Cape accounted foralmost 50% of all cases.
Dr Ayo Olowolagba, DeputyHead of CommunicableDisease in the Municipality’sHealth Unit, said that itwould not make sense totreat TB in isolation from theHIV/AIDS which is the reasonwhy this center has sincebeen changed from beingspecifically for TB patientsbut to also accommodateHIV/AIDS patients and nowARV’s are being distributed atthe center.
“We all have a role to play inthe fight against TB, society atlarge should also meet thegovernment half way andnon-governmentalorganisations can play a partin this regard”, saidOlowalagba.
He said TB is a preventableand curable disease. It needseveryone to manage andcontrol the disease by takingthe medication accordinglyand to also eat healthy.
“We have prominentcitizens like our formerPresident, Nelson Mandela,Arch Bishop EmeritusDesmond Tutu and manycelebrities, all of whom hadTB and have been cured ofit,” adds Olowolagba.
Dr Nomakhosi Gxagxisa,Head of the Health Unit saidnine of the high TB burdendistricts in the nine respectiveprovinces account for about155, 000 TB cases witheThekwini Metro alonecontributing 45000 cases.Because of the high burden ofthe disease, eThekwini wasdeclared a TB crisis district in2006.
“Although programmeoutcomes have improvedover the past years, with curerates having increased fromabout 46.7 % to 60%, theseare still below the National TBControl Programme target of85%, however TB is curable,”adds Gxagxisa.
Hazel Msweli, who has livedwith HIV/AIDS for 24 yearsand has also been on TBtreatment twice, encouragedother patients to completelytake their treatment as perthe doctor’s directive.
“We appreciate the fact thatthe Municipality cares and isdoing as much as it can tohelp us but it also calls for theindividual to take a stand andfight against this disease,”Msweli added.
Clinics that were doing wellin the fight against TB werealso awarded with certificatesand trophies. The Umlazi Gclinic was amongst thehighest receivers of the daywith 87.5% cure rate whichbeats the national target rateof 85%.
A GERMAN delegation ofathletes conducted coachingclinics at Zwelethu HighSchool recently. This was aneffort to identify talent andgroom it. German athletesshared some of theirexperiences and expertise ata coaching clinic forchildren. The delegationwhich includes a group ofcoaches and athletes fromthe Bremen Track and FieldAssociation and theRonzelen School was inDurban to foster arelationship with twoschools in Umlazi.
This is part of the SisterCity relationship betweenthe City of Bremen andeThekwini Municipality.Sithembile Ngilande fromthe Municipality’sInternational andGovernance Relations said,“This programme has beenendorsed by the ProvincialDepartment of Education.The purpose of their visitwas to have an active sportsprogramme namely withZwelibanzi and Zwelethuhigh schools, with theintention of building asustainable relationship.”
She said that during theirvisit to the schools they heldintercultural discussions in
order to encourage culturaldiversity between thelearners and educators.
“They also introduced theirsports programme to theschools and learnt about theUmlazi schools sportprogrammes, share ofcoaching experiences andexplored how they can assistin taking sports to the nextlevel and producing wellrounded professionalathletes,” said Ngilande.There was also the addedimpetus of an exchangeprogramme thatencompasses both sport andeducation.
The Principal of Zwelethu,Mduduzi Ndwadwe, said “I
am hopeful that thisrelationship will benefit ourlearners and we, as theschool and community, havea responsibility to ensurethat we encourage them tomake full use of thisopportunity.”
Teboho September, a grade8 pupil at Zwelethu said, “I’mvery happy that we got achance to rub shoulders withGermany’s top athletes. Asan aspirant athlete myself,who wishes to compete atthe highest level, today’slessons will come in handy,”he said.
WE all have a role to play incommunity development.These were the sentimentsexpressed by delegates at therecent official handover ofschool equipment to fivelocal crèches that was held atIngqalabutho CommunityCentre in KwaSanti Ward 16.
“In our public meetings wealways encourage privatecompanies to meet thegovernment halfway as far ascommunity development isconcerned. Nampak cameforward in response to ourcall and they wanted todonate some of the thingsthey produced from recycled
Buthelezi said they arehappy because children willbenefit. “Some of thesecrèches really struggle withthe equipment and childrenwould sit on the floorsbecause they did not haveenough chairs in theclassrooms.
Nampak donated 200chairs and 100 tables to beshared amongst five crèchesin the area.”
“I still urge other privatesector to continue to assistwith such programmes ofcommunity development,”added Buthelezi.
Jonathan Welch of Nampak
said this is the first time thecompany was involved incommunity work. “It’s feelsgood to see people smilebecause of you, this mademe appreciate what I havebecause there are somepeople who are honestlystruggling out there.
“We will continue to assistneedy communities becauseit is very important to giveback to the community,”adds Welch.

further information. Eugene Raphalane of the
Human Rights Commission,paid tribute to those whomarched peacefully againstthe carrying of Passes(identity books) andencouraged everyone toreport any injustice to theiroffices. “People must not fearanything, we are all equaltherefore no one must betreated unfairly, our servicesare free of charge, pleasemake use of us”.
Bulelwa Mbolekwa fromthe Premier’s Office, who isalso blind, said disabledpeople still face a lot ofchallenges in our society.Spectacles, crutches andwalking sticks were handedover during the event.
A seminar, in honour ofhuman rights activistsVictoria and GriffthsMxenge, took place at theNatural Science Museum tocommemorate the HumanRights Day. The aim of theseminar was to highlight theimportance of human rights,interrogating the causes ofmob justice and how it canbe prevented.
