>> $1.6 million school was to be run by the KZN education department

line.co.za

PUPILS at the once state-ofthe-art Seven FountainsPrimary School in

Shayamoya are forced torelieve themselves under dis-gusting circumstances.

The once-pristine toiletsare in a shocking conditionand pose a major health haz-ard for users.

The sanitation crisis is as aresult of the malfunctioning

watersystemasthetanksburstinMaylast year.

This ismadeworsebytheirregularwater supply in 4 Shayamoya town-ship.

The$1.6 million school, fundedbyAmerican talk show host and philan-thropist Oprah Winfrey, was openedin 2007 andwas to be run by the KZNDepartment of Education.

The school governing body chair-person, Buyiswa Rheme, said waterproblems surfaced last year.

“We have been reporting thematter to the Sisonke District Depart-mentofEducationsinceJunelastyear,

askingfornewwatertanksastheoneswere old and leaking.

“Wewerepromisedthatthematterwould be sortedout,butuntil nowwehave nowater andnonew tanks havebeen given to the school,” she said.

Rheme said worst of all, the toiletscannot be flushed.

“We have to fill 25-litre containersbefore the water is shut off at 10amevery day so pupils can fill the cisternto flush the toilet, but pupils in lowergrades are unable to lift the 25-litrecontainers to pour water into thetoilet,” she said.>> CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

As a result faeces fill the toilets and oftenpupils are unable to sit on them. To add insultto injury theGrade7toiletsareonly fewmetresaway from the kitchenwhere food for pupils iscooked.

Caretaker at the school Mr Sinama said heisextremelyunhappyaboutthesanitationsitu-ation.

“ItgetssobadthatsometimesIhavetoscoopout faeces with my gloved hands so I can pourwater from the containers into the bowl toenable pupils to use the toilets,” he said.

Rheme said some pupils have experiencedstomach problems and she suspects this is asa result of the situation.

“It is a disgrace that such a wonderful gift

giventothecommunity is left todeteriorate likethis,” she said.

Rhemesaidofficials fromtheDepartmentofEducation and themunicipality told them theymust to raise their own funds and buy newtanks because “that is Oprah’s school”.

“We were surprised to get that type of re-sponse.MaybeOprahmadeamistakebybuild-ing that school for our children.

“Wecannotaffordtoreplacefivetankswith-out assistance from the [education] depart-ment,” she said.

“I don’t understand why the school hasn’tbought tanks because money was transferred[to it] a long time ago.”

Kokstad hospitalin crisis

>> ‘Health department has failed the people of Kokstad’

KHAYA MAGENU>>[email protected]

THE KwaZulu-Natal Democratic Alliancedeputy leader Francois Rodgers saidthey are shocked to hear about the

current state of East Griqualand & UsherMemorial Hospital in Kokstad.

Thiscomesafterallegationsthatthehospitalhas no blankets, has a shortfall of linen result-ing in patients being asked to take their ownblankets when they are admitted.

Just a year ago theDAexposed the shockingconditions in thehospital,bringingattention tothe fact that it had run out of food for patients.

“It isnowabundantlyclear that thishospitalis slipping fromonecrisis to another asa resultof its lackofcapacityandadysfunctionalhealthdepartment,” said Rodgers.

“It is also alleged that there has been no hotwater in the hospital for the past few days andthat thewaterboilingsystemhascollapsed,”hecontinued.

He said that officials and the health depart-ment are fully aware that thehot-water systemis antiquated and has not been suitable for usefor many years.

“Is this just another case of out of sight outof mind.

“This is unacceptable and theDA calls uponMEC S. Dhlomo to immediately intervene andaddress the conditions experienced at the hos-pital.

“A year ago the MEC gave myself and thecommunity an undertaking he would ensurethat all challenges were addressed — this hasnot happened. The DA is of the opinion thatclearly the Department of Health, under theleadership of Dhlomo, has failed the people ofKokstad in its mandate,” said Rodgers.

The Provincial Department of Health PublicRelationsOfficerDesmondMothadenied thereis a shortage of blankets and a shortfall oflinen, saying that all hospitals place their linenorders at a central store in Pietermaritzburgand EG and Usher Memorial Hospital is doingthe same.

On the issue of collapsing of boiler system,he said they have sent their infrastructuremanager to attend to theproblemandheactedpromptly.

“We have appointed a company to fix theboiler system and it is expected to start on 7August,” said Motha.

Kokstad ‘collapses’>> ‘It used to be a beautiful clean town, now it is dirty and rotten’

KHAYA MAGENU>>[email protected]

SERVICESintheGreaterKokstadMunicipality have “completelycollapsed” as the municipality

faces accusations of gross malad-ministration, bankruptcy and poorfinancial management.

The normally clean CBD streetsare strewnwith uncollected rubbish,the roads are full of potholes and anincrease in pick-pocketing were justsomeof the issues thatdominated thearea over the weekend.

However, Greater KokstadMunicipality spokesperson SabeloNcwane said they acknowledge theconcern, but itmust benoted that themunicipality is facing a serious staffshortage.

“We had 100 people employed bya Public Works grant, but theircontract ended in June.However, themunicipality is trying by all means tokeep the town clean.

“Itmust beunderstood that unlikeother towns, Kok-stad has a largenumber of visitors at the end of themonthandthatrequiresmorehumanresources.

“I can confirm that there werepeople whoworked on Saturday andSunday to clean the town.”

A residents who asked the Fever

not to divulge his name on Mondaywhere he saw the rubbish on thestreets, said: “Our town has com-pletely collapsed.

“The beautiful town of Kokstad isdecaying and collapsing. It used tobea beautiful clean town, now it is dirtyand rotten.”

There were allegations that mu-nicipal coffers are empty and somecleanersarerefusingtoworkovertheweekend because they don’t get paidovertime.

Greater Kokstad MunicipalityMayor Nosisa Jojozi recently deniedallegations that the municipality isbankrupt, saying they are experienc-ing a challenge of cash flow, and as aresult they have come upwith a belt-tightening strategy.

Over the weekend, Leon Kotting,Kokstad Chamber of Commercechairman, described the filthy townas “shocking”.

He said the GKM CommunityService executive manager, NyanisoMsiya sent them an e-mail onMondaygivingvariousexcusesaboutthemonth-end period being too busyfor them to cope with cleaning thetown.

“I find these excuses deplorableand I can tell you that it is a clearexample of a municipality in deepfinancial trouble.

“Excuses are currently the orderof the daywith the reality of financialmismanagement and overspendingin the past now taking its toll on serv-ice delivery. Are you aware that thetown only has one tractor to clear theskipsfromallthebusinessesintown,”asked Kotting.

He said the chamber met withsenior management and Cogta morethan two weeks ago to discuss theirconcerns atGKMandwere promisedfeedback and an immediate actionplan into the current shortfalls, butthey are still waiting for both.

“The chamber finds it difficult tounderstandhowseniorpolitical lead-ers andofficials canoperate as if theyhave their heads buried in the sand.”said Kotting.

Ncwane said to perfect the clean-ing of themunicipality it has upped agear anddevelopeda strategy called

Ezemvelo calls for land agreement retention>> Residents want nature reserve land for housing in Kokstad

NTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]

EZEMVELO KZN Wildlife madea presentation to the GreaterKokstad Municipal Council

regarding thecontroversialaddition-al land for the Mt Currie NatureReserve at a councilmeeting in coun-cil chambers at the Kokstad TownHall last Friday.

The presentation was made afterthe ANC caucus took a vote in Marchto rescind a 20-year agreement be-tweenthemunicipalityandEzemveloto expand the Mt Currie NatureReserve.

The move to rescind the agree-ment was reported to have beenprompted by the shortage of land forhousing in Kokstad.

Residents have protested de-manding land for housing from the

municipality.The memorandum of agreement,

which the Fever is in possession of,was signedbyKZNNatureConserva-tion Board CEO Dr Bandile Mkhizeand formerGKMmunicipalmanagerFelix Nxumalo in March 2012, out-lines that GKM agreed to provide the588 hectares of land to expand MtCurrie Nature Reserve for 20 years.

In their presentation Pat Dowryand Ezemvelo Wildlife SisonkeDistrict ecologist Athol Marchantoutlined a number of reasons whyEzemvelo would like to retain theexisting agreement.

• 50% of the catchment of CrystalDam as it supplies water to Kokstad.

• High livestock stocking rates,housingandagriculturewilldecreasewater quantity and quality.

• Critically endangered BeardedVulture nest (intensification of land

use will threaten nesting).• Management of the land as part

of the nature reserve will create 50part-time jobs.

• Mt Currie is the only nature re-serve in GKM, the only place wherepeoplecanseeoribi,zebra,reedbuck,grey rhebok e.t.c

• It is important for the recreationofinhabitantsofKokstadforactivitiessuch as hiking, picnics and camping.

• MtCurrieNatureReserveimpor-tantforenvironmentaleducationandschool curriculum.

Councillors, themayoranddeputymayor said they would apply theirmind to thepresentation,withothersseeking clarity on the reasons givenby Ezemvelo.

Ward 1 Cllr Phumzile Nocandasaid theywerenotconvincedwith thepresentation given by Ezemvelo.

“Wereallyneedthatland—maybe

if Ezemvelo suggested we negotiatethat the nature reserve takes a small-er portionof the land,”Nocanda said.

Deputy mayo)r Bheki Mtolo ques-tioned whether Ezemvelo balanceshuman activity when reserving landfor conservation and other environ-mental activities.

Marchant said they acknowledgethe shortage of land for housing andagriculture.

“There isaneed topurchasealter-native land that is better suited forhousing and agriculture, which willalsobefarlessdetrimentaltoKokstadand to biodiversity,” he said.

Third traffic lane causes confusionNTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]

LAW enforcement officers and members of the Operation Sukuma Sakhe team have intervened in whatthey regard as a “ticking time bomb” on Misty Field,20 kilometres outside Kokstad.

This is after motorists reported that a major accident is looming at new truck stop. A third lane, intended for trucks coming from Kokstad, was added on theN2 at Misty Mount to minimise congestion caused bytrucks on that part of the road.

Now there is confusion for motorists who comefrom Umzimkhulu and Harding as they assume thatthe third lane is for them.

However, the middle lane is for vehicles comingfrom Kokstad. Cars coming from Umzimkhulu reportedly overtake on the first bend then continue on thesecond lane where cars coming from Kokstad drivealong.

Operation Sukuma Sakhe coordinator in KokstadNyaniso Msiya said the problem was reported by motorists and they called in Sanral and law enforcementofficers and the GKM to discuss the issue.

“What is happening there could cause a headon

collision if it not attended to soon. Drivers who arenot from Kokstad don’t understand that its still a normal national road to be used by cars from differentdirections, the third lane is just for trucks,” he said.

Anotherissuethatwasraisedwasthattruckswerenot using the truck lane.

Veeran Pillay, a Sanral engineer, said they willmake a barrier on the portion of the road where it isunsafe to overtake on and will put up additional signsto indicate that it is a twoway road. He said theywill put pressure on Eskom to supply power for streetlights in the Misty Field area.

“We have already paid Eskom to supply electricitythere and we have installed traffic lights. We willmake sure they do so as soon because it could be dangerous driving at night,” he explained.

Msiya and officials from emergency services alsocomplained that there are no alternative routes foremergencies in that area.

Traffic department officials said they willstrengthen enforcement there to ensure that motorists are careful when using the road.

Motorists are urged to be careful and alert whendriving in the Misty Field area and urged to read andobey road signs.

SUSPECTS in the murder ZukileMatandela (48) were granted bail ofR8 000 each at the Maluti Magis-trate’s Court two weeks ago.

Zukile had been selling alcoholwith his wife at their tavern in Masa-kala onNewYear’s eve until the earlyhours of 1 January. It was reportedthat at about 3am the couple closedthe tavern after tear gas was sprayedinside the tavern.

Theydrovehome indifferent cars,but on the way to their Maluti homeNombuyiselo reportedly received acall informing her that her mother

Motloung said that shortly afterZukile got home, a group of menstormed into his house.

“We suspect themenhad followedhim from the tavern. They attackedhiminhisbedroomwithwasappearsto be an axe as he hadwounds on hisface and head and all over his body,”he said.

Theorganisation’s aim is to allevi-atepoverty,controlthetransferofdis-eases, job creation, skills develop-ment, youth development and createan income-generation project thatwill sustain the Kwa Sani communi-ties, among other things.

Another visionof the organisationis to own a Hospice and a home fororphans.

Vukuzithathe uses OperationSukuma Sakhe, the brain child of theformer KwaZulu-Natal Premier DrZweli Mkize, as a tool to fulfil its pur-pose—war rooms—which become

Cleanliness of the town

WE have received com-plaints about the unfortu-nate state of the town dur-

ing the past weekend. The com-plaints were about the dirtiness ofthe town and the uncollected refusebags in the streets.

Iwish to apologise to the commu-nity and all affected parties. Whathappenedwasnot our intention.Wewish to alert the community thatKokstad has grownand is attractingshoppers from KwaZulu-Natal andtheEasternCape.Thecleaningofthetownrequiresmorehumanresourc-es and we are currently facing aserious staff shortage.

Things got worse when the con-

tract of 100 people, employedthrough the grant from ExpandedWorks Programme, ended. Thatcaught us during the past weekendandgoingforwardwewillmakesurethat it is does not happen again. Theexecutive manager community de-velopment services has come upwith the strategy that will assist inmaking sure our town is cleanwhilewealsosafeguardourbeautifulenvi-ronment. That strategic documentwillbecommunicatedtothecommu-nityandstakeholdersofKokstadbe-cause we want them to assist us inimplementingit.Wehopeitwillsolvemostof thecommunity’s concerns interms of cleanliness of the town.

GREETINGS to all Kwa Sani residents. Thisis yet another week granted to us by theAlmighty above.

One must take this opportunity to extend a word of appreciation to Kwa Sanicommunity for the good behaviour thatthey continue to display, as we have notheard any crimerelated incidents in awhile. This proves that the people of KwaSani are really living, not just existing.

Service delivery is what we strive forour people, community participation iswhat we encourage from our community.People no longer hear about the government, but the government knocks on theirdoor through a “vehicle” called SukumaSakhe. Every individual in our communityis encouraged to visit these war rooms intheir wards. The war room is a place wherepeople who have problems of any kind canget together with representatives from the

government who visit these war rooms tolisten to the issue the community has andattend to those issues immediately if it isan issue that requires mediation, but if itis an issue that requires the official to goback and consult he or she does that.

This week we have seen for the firsttime a district task team for Sukuma Sakhesitting at Kwa Sani in unfamiliar territoryat Ward 4, where the venue was atEkhubeni. The aim of this meeting was toenlighten stakeholders about real issues sothat what is being said in reports can beseen by people who can intervene.

The work has just begun and I ask allgovernment officials, stakeholders andcommunity members to rise up and ownservice delivery in order for us to moveSouth Africa forward.

Until next time, have a blessed weekend ahead.

Editorial CommentHumans vs natureTHE issue of land between the GreaterKokstad Municipality and Ezemvelo KZNWildlife has brought up an issue which isoften not talked about — human habitation vs nature conservation.

The central issue is to determine howto provide for human habitation andcommerce while minimising the impact onbiodiversity, water supply, climate, outdoor recreation and the overall quality oflife.

With a strong shift in human population density in Kokstad, it is understanda

ble that the GKM council would want tokeep land for the habitation of people, asit doesn’t make sense when people areforced to live in shacks, squashed together,when there is land available. However,nature conservation on the other hand isequally as important and will suffer direconsequences if not taken into consideration.

As water is a very scarce resource, lessthan two percent of the water on our planet is fresh water, this issue needs seriousattention from both ends of the debate.

Justice in the new South AfricaON 9 April the deputy sheriff served a warrant of execution against property at myresidence. I was shocked to see that judgment was obtained from the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court.

Firstly, I was never notified to appearin court, but was served and treated likea criminal. On 24 July my vehicle, a greymetallic Audi A4, NCW 27052, was impoundedbythedeputysheriff. Iaskedhimfor a receipt, the reply was that the noticethat was given to me on 9 April is enough.I pointed out that this notice was incorrectas it mentioned a blue VW Audi A4 NCW27052, his reply was that’s no problem.The notice of the sale by public auction

was also put in local newspapers with incorrect particulars.

The sale was on 29 July and my sonattended the sale, with four people bidding. One person, known to my son, toldmy son not to bid as he knew the car belonged to me, another person was a staffmember at the sheriff’soffice.Thedeputywas surprised to see my son present andtold him not to worry the car should fetchabout R50 000, this was said before biddingstarted.Thecarwassoldtothedeputy’s wife for R85 000. Strange that onlytwo members of the public were present.That afternoon, the deputy was at myhouse looking for the registration papers

and I asked him who had bought the caras it was a gift valued at about R220 000,his reply was that it was bought by a coloured lady from Kokstad and he does notknow her.

Two days later, he arrived at my houseto fetch registration papers and I congratulated him on his car, he was flustered andquickly replied that in his capacity hecould not bid on the car, but his wifebought the car (change to the colouredladythathedidnotknow).Liesanddeceitunreal. Unfortunately, I am unable toobtain legal aid, as this only applies topeople with lots of money.

WARM greetings to all readers of this viewpoint.Mass funeral for veld

fires victims in Ward 14.Subsequent to the veldfire

tragedies at Moiketsi Reserve areasin Ward 14, the Eastern Cape government has lent a helping hand to affected families. About 50 households were burnt by fire which started on 17 July. Municipal fire fightersand the Alfred Nzo District Municipality Disaster Management Unitdid their best to fight the fire, but itwas out of their control due to heavywinds.

pality, Matatiele Local Municipality,Sassa and the Department of SocialDevelopment provided relief material to families and covered funeralexpenses. On 2 August the mass funeral of these victims was held atDititjhereng Village. We appreciatethe cooperation shown by government departments in this regard.

Among the five villagers admitted to hospital, two were transferredto Frere Hospital in East Londonwhere a week later they died.Among the dead were MathatoRamabitle (68), Boomo Letele (62),Mpho Mosoang (43) and Molelekeng Mmuse (81), all from the samevillage.

The families of the deceased areall disadvantaged hence the government held a mass funeral forthem on Saturday.

Faithbased leaders led the funeral attended by a member of theEastern Cape Legislature, Ntombovuyo Nkopane, who was delegatedby the MEC for Corporate Governance & Traditional affairs, AlfredNzo District Municipality seniormanagers and Matatiele Local Municipality managers, traditionalleaders and the community.Public notice: IDP/BudgetProcess Plan 2015/2016

Concerns of Griqua I READ with interest the notice placed under comments by Danella Wildey, “Kok family descendents ofAdam (Muis)” in the Kokstad Advertiser of 13 July.

I want to advise the Griqua to refrain from claimingtitles. The National Traditional Act has not yet beenpassed. Only when this happens will anyone from theFirst Nation (Griqua included) as a traditional community apply, then certain positions and titles be al

lowed, with verification.To make this clear, I will, with the permission of

the editor, publish in the next few weeks, informationabout Adam Kok 111 and how he governed his peoplein East Griqualand and who the successor should be.This will avoid friction and unnecessary law suits.

Ruling partychairperson toretain positionFEVER REPORTER

MLULEKI Ndobe, the Harry GwalaANC regional chairperson is likely toretainhispositionasforceswithinthepartyhaveputforwardhisnametobeleader.

Ndobe, also a mayor of the HarryGwala District Municipality, is well-respected within the region.

His leadership style is acknowl-edgedbyANCnationalandprovincialexecutive committees despite nega-tive reports labelled as propagandaintendedtocreatebadbloodbetweenhim and President Jacob Zuma.

The Harry Gwala region was saidtobeamong thosewhowereworkingto oust Zuma, but reports remainedunproven.

Ndobe is likely to retain his posi-tion uncontested as there is no onewho can replace him as the leader ofthe region.

The African National CongressWomen’s League (ANCWL) and theANCYouth League in the region havedeclaredthatNdobewillretainhispo-sition in the build-up to the regionalconference expected to be held in theregion in October.

The only position expected to befilled by a new member is that of theregional secretary which was left va-cantafter the formersecretary,AmonZondi became a member of Parlia-ment.

ThecurrentANCWLchairwoman,SindiswaMsomi is set to takeover thereins as the ANC regional secretary.Greater Kokstad Municipality mayorNosisa Jojozi is the current acting re-gional secretary since deputisingZondi.

Harry Gwala ANCWL secretary,Ntuseng Duma echoed sentiments ofthe ANCYL saying they are behindNdobe’s leadership.

“We are saying this based on a

numberofgoodthingsdoneunderhisleadership such as restoring politicalstability, improving the state of ourmunicipalitiesandhonouringourpo-litical icons by changing this munici-pality’s name from Sisonke to HarryGwala,” Duma said.

ShesaidunderNdobe’s leadershipthe region’s economy has improvedandtheirisanimprovementineduca-tion. Creating job opportunities andfighting crime are some of the chal-lenges that he prioritised.

She said Ndobe won over wardsthatwereunder thecontrolofopposi-tion parties and further recruitedmembers to join the ANC.

Duma agreed with the idea ofputtingMsomi’s name up for the sec-retary position saying: “It will be thefirst time for the region to have a fe-male ANC secretary.”

However, ANCYL spokespersonZwakele Mngonyama warned thosepretending tobeANCmemberswhilehaving interests of opposition partieslikeEFFatheart, tobackoffbeforese-rious action is taken against them.

“Weareawarethatthereisagroupled by Sindiso Magaqa, the formerANCYL general secretary, which in-tends to destabilise the upcomingconference as they are earmarkingpositions in our municipalities. I cansafely tell you that Magaqa doesn’thaveANCmembership,”saidMngon-yama.

Magaqa refused to commentpromising to take the matter to theruling party leadership.

‘NO’ to rape>> Over 700 people ‘lay down’ in Durban and said no to rape

BRITTANY PRIDE

THROUGHOUT KwaZulu-Natal, on 1 August, thebeginning of Women’s

Month, change came about inthe form of the Silent Protest inDurban and as Friday morningdawned for me with anticipationand hope, I was not disappoint-ed.

More 700 men and womenmarched from the city hall, andthrough the streets of Durbanwith the words “Sexual Violence= SILENCE” displayed acrosstheir chest, with many protest-ers choosing to tape up theirmouths and go without food,water, or talking for the day, in ashow of solidarity with rape sur-vivors who are often silenced byvictim-blaming.

On that day 700 voices de-manded the right to theirbodies, the right to post-expo-sure prophylaxis, the right toshare their stories without fearof victim blaming or being letdown by the justice system.

Over 700 people “laid down”and said no to rape.

Thanks go to LarissaKlazinga and the Aids Health-care Foundation who workedtirelessly to make this day asuccess.

Strong interest for Hino South Africa>> Hino has a long history of involvementwith the South African farming community

HINO South Africa is enjoyingstrong interest in its prod-ucts, which were exhibited at

a recent agricultural show.“We used the show topreviewour

new 500-series 2626 long-wheel-base freight carrier, as well as pro-mote Hino’s winning achievementsin the comparative tests betweenfour major brands of medium com-mercial vehicles (MCV) conducted bya local transport magazine earlierthis year,” explained Hino SA vice-president Ernie Trautmann.

The Hino 2626 6x2 is an idealvehicle for versatile transport re-quirements of large agricultural op-erations. It boasts excellent load-carrying capacity and an economicalpower train.

The Hino 300-series, which hasbeen a leader in the localMCVmar-ket since its introduction to themarket as the Toyota Dyna in 1965,fared well in the MCV comparisontestrun. The run involved two drivesbetweenHartebeespoortandBelfast,

once laden and once empty. Therewas also a test session at the Gerotekfacility.

The overall winner of the com-parisonruntestwas theHino300-se-ries 915, which competed in theeight-nine-ton gross vehicle mass(GVM) class. It emerged as the mostfuel-efficient truck in its class, andalso as the overall winner in boththe payload and productivity catego-ries. The 915 truck on show atNampo was suitably adorned with ahugeredrosette–thesignofawinner.

TheHino300-series714, compet-ing in the6/7-tonGVMcategory, alsofared well in the comparison test,coming out best in class in terms ofboth payload and productivity.

“Hino has a long history of in-volvement with the South Africanfarming community and its parentcompany, Toyota South Africa, wasbuilt on the back of introducing com-mercial vehicles to this country be-fore adding passenger vehicles tothe range,” added Trautmann.

Avoidance and handling of a hijackingIN recent weeks hijacking has beenmore prominent in the news, asSouth Africans waited anxiously fornews of the safe return of MongeziPhike, and mourned for four-year-old Taegrin Morris, who was mur-dered by a hijacker.

Vehicle tracking and stolen vehi-cle recovery specialist Cartrack, re-ports that it has taken many callsfrom concerned parents for guid-ance on how to deal with hijacking,particularly when children are in

the car.The company advises that while

the idea of such a situation isfrightening, parents should discussthe possibility of this eventualitywith children who are old enoughto understand, and talk about howto respond appropriately and re-main calm.

Cartrack has also offered somepractical pointers:>> Be aware of what is happeningaround you on the road at all times.

>> Statistically, you are more likelyto be hijacked between 4pm and8pm, especially on a Friday, andmost hijackings occur in the vic-tim’s driveway.>> Prepare yourself mentally andphysically for a hijack situation byrole-playing a possible scenariowith your family.

Treat it as a game, so that yourchildren will react appropriately ifthe role play ever becomes a reality.>> It is important to realise that

there is often nothing you can doother than co-operate with the hi-jackers.>> As difficult as it may sound, tryto remain calm, as the hijacker willrespond according to your reaction.>> Acknowledge the hijacker’spresence. Don’t make eye contactand keep your hands visible.>> Before leaving home, positionyour child’s car seat on the passen-ger side of the vehicle so that youcan reach back, undo your child’ssafety belt and bring them out withyou in the event of a hijacking.>> If you have been hijacked, avoidgetting out of the car first and then

opening the back doors to get yourchild out. If this is unavoidable andyou are forced to exit your vehiclewhile a small child is still strappedto a baby seat, take the car keyswith you as a “bargaining” tool.>> If your children are old enough,take the child-lock off your vehicleand teach them how to undo theirsafety belt, exit the car and move tosafety upon your instruction,with no questions asked and nohesitation.>> At all times, let the hijackersknow what you are doing and don’tmake any sudden moves.
