Last Tuesday the Acting Deputy Judge Za- mani Ntlangulela struck off the roll a court application brought by Madikizela-Mandela against Mandla Mandela in the Mthatha High Court to proceed with the meeting. Madikizela Mandela filed the court appli- cation wanting to prevent a family meeting from taking place at the Qu- nu homestead, stating fear of vi- olence and van- dalism of proper- ty if the meeting took place. Last Friday, the meet- ing was conclud- ed without any violence or van- dalism. Madikiz- ela-Mandela had filed a claim to Madiba’s execu- tors that the Qu- nu home should belong to her, her children and her grandchil- dren. Madikizela- Mandela was ex- cluded from tata Mandela’s will. After the Judge struck the application off the roll, Madikizela-Mandela’s legal repre- sentative, Advocate Mvuzo Notyesi, filed an- other application, but this too was denied. The media was not allowed to enter the homestead while the meeting was under way. After a five-hour wait, Inkosi Daludumo Mtirara, spokesperson of the royal family, led the media into the room where the meet- ing had been held. There were fewer than 30 people (mostly men) attending the meeting, including some of the traditional leaders of AbaThembu and the young brother of King Buyelekhaya Dal- indyebo. The king himself was not present, nor was Graca Machel. Addressing the media after the meeting, Nkosi Ngangomhlaba Matanzima was cagey about divulging the agenda. “The matter is between the Mandelas and we cannot divulge what had been discussed because it is a fami- ly matter and concerns the family members only. There is no need for the world to know about it.” He said they cannot change the decisions of the late tata Mandela, but he refused to ex- plain further. “We have discussed the matter with the people who were present. “There was nothing new in Dalibhunga’s decision and we don’t want to take a different route from his own decisions. We are happy we discussed the matter; we are finished now and there was no violence,” concluded Mat- anzima. The royal houses that were represented were those of Mtirara, Mnqanqeni and Joyi.

them and the two women’s throats were slit.The Headman of the area, Winile Sandile,

said they were still in shock and that it wasthe first incident of this nature to happen intheir area.“We are not feeling safe at all since the sus-

pects were related to the deceased in this in-cident. What is worse is that they attackedwomen knowing that they would overpowerthem,” said Sandile.He said they would call a meeting where

they would condemn such attacks on elderlypeople suspected of witchcraft with the hopeof putting an end to it.He said it is alleged that the deceased were

accused of witchcraft following a car acci-dent that left two family members related to

“We had a large contigency of membersfrom the SAPS National Intervention Unit(NIU), Public Order Police (POP), K9 andMountedUnits pulling a close net around thearea where we believed the suspects werehiding,” said Binta.She said that left the suspectswithno other

choice than to surrender and hand them-selves over to the Dalasile Police.“We thank local leaders, chiefs and coun-

cillors for being fully behind the SAPS rightthrough the investigation and also for thesupport from the community of that area,who allowed us to do our work and providedthe SAPS with information.”

IN an effort to reduce long queues attheButterworth Police Station of peo-ple who want to open cases or certifytheir documents, police officials hadcome up with a plan of taking theirservices to the people.

Mobile satellite police stations in acaravan will visit various locationsin Butterworth to bring services tothe places where people live. Thatwill also help communities to savetransport costs as they will not haveto travel to town when they need po-lice services.Police spokesperson Captain Jack-

son Manatha said the caravan willvisit areas such as Ndabakazi andTholeni.“The caravan arrived in November

last year. People must, however, beaware that we will not be photo copy-ing documents. We will only be certi-fying documents when people bringthe original copies,” said Manatha.These services are provided free.Capt. Manatha reminded young

people that they needed to be accom-panied by their parents for affidavits.“We will not be able to assist

learners who need affidavits if theyare not accompanied by their parentsto sign for them. We don’t want themto forge their parents’ signatures,”said Manatha.ATholeni communitymember, No-

lizwi Sotshongaye, said they werehappy about this caravan since theynow don’t have to travel to town any-more to certify their copies.“This is a relief to us. We wish all

other departments can do the sameandbring services to the people,” [email protected]

SUDENTS atWalter Sisulu University (WSU)will benefit from an announcement last weekthat the Transport Education and TrainingAuthority (TETA) will be investing R18,9 mil-lion into WSU during this financial year.

The bulk of the fundingwill go towards bur-saries and scholarships for deserving stu-dents in the field of civil engineering and oth-er fields related to transport economics.WSU spokesperson Angela Church wel-

comed this positive development at the startof the new academic year.“It is most encouraging with registration

commencing on January 19, that we can nowoffer many new bursaries to our students inthese important fields. Our developing econo-my is so short of skills in science and engi-neering and WSU is well-placed to addressthis shortage with our appropriate mix of de-grees and diplomas. Now that we have TETAon board as a funding partner we can makesignificant strides towards building the skillsrequired,” she said.Apart from the funding allocated to bursa-

ries, other projects that will be funded in thefirst tranche include transportation forphysi-cally challenged students, extension of thestudent driver training project, a mathemat-ics and science project targeting high schoolsin the WSU catchment area and managementtraining for staff.Collaborative research will underpin all

these projects thereby making this partner-ship of academic value as well.“A Memorandum of Understanding was

signed recently between WSU and TETA andwe applaud the quick action and tangiblecommitment of TETA. More partnerships ofthis nature between WSU and other SETAscould provide a real solution for skills en-hancement,” said Church.Second-year civil engineering students doing what they do best.

THE Mnquma Municipality in Butterworthis hoping that the swimming pool that is be-ing built by the Department of Sports, Recre-ation, Arts and Culture (DSRAC) in Butter-worth town will be completed soon.

Mnqumba Local Municipality mayor,Bhabha Ganjana, said the pool was part of a

project funded by the DSRAC in 2013.“We spoke toDSRACofficials last year ask-

ing them to do some adjustments and finalizeits construction. There were, however, de-lays in finishing it as the constructor whowas given the tender, under-quoted,” saidGanjana. He said when the pool is completedthey will see a growth in the economy of thetown as there will be an influx of people com-ing to use the pool and they will be spending

their money in town.“This will also create job opportunities be-

cause there will have to be people to look afterthe people swimming. It will also be a place ofentertainment for people of all ages. It will con-tribute to reducing the crime rate as youngpeople will spend most of their time in thepool.” Ganjana said they also wanted to havea gymnasium at pool to promote a healthy lifestyle among Gcuwa (Buttterworth) communi-

ty members.He said they hoped that the DSRAC will as-

sist the constructor in making sure that theproject is completed. They had also appliedfor funds from Lottery.DSRAC communication officer, Jerry

Ndudula, said he will obtain more informa-tion on the project and asked the Express re-porter to contact him the following day. Butwhen contacted he said he was on leave.He then referred theExpress reporter to the

Senior Manager, Bafundi Makhubalo, whosaid he was not the spokesperson for the De-partment and referred the reporter to theHead of Department, Mr Ntini.When Express called Mr Ntini his personal

assistant said he was in a meeting. No re-sponse was, however, received from the de-partment by the time of going to print.

20 000 COPIES WEEKLY

AYANDA MILLISA MADIKIZELA

TWENTY learners from the Eastern Capewere recently awarded bursaries amountingto R3 million by the Department of Rural De-velopment and Agrarian Reform (DRDAR) inMthatha.

These fortunate learners were awardedtheir bursaries by the DRDAR MEC MliboQoboshiyane after they had applied for themin November last year.“We are here to plant a seed of hope for

these students who had no hope of pursuingtheir studies owing to disadvantaged back-grounds,” said Qoboshiyane.He added that even though some are first

year students, others were already in theirsecond year of studies, but were on the vergeof dropping out due to financial constraints.“As the government, we had to find ways

to ease the burden of paying fees, in particu-lar for those parentswho are notworking andsingle parents,” said MEC.One of the recipients, Nompumelelo Nge-

jane (20), fromPayne inMthathawill be doingher second year in Soil Science studies.“I am so grateful to the Department and the

entire province for providing these bursa-

ries. We will now study stress-free, withouthaving to worry about fees, meals and thepossibility of not getting one’s results,” shesaid.Ngejane added that if she had not received

the bursary, she would have been forced todrop out this year, because her course is veryexpensive. As a child who lost both her par-ents, “life has not been easy,” she said.“My stepmother was trying everything in

her power to ensure that I get a good educa-tion, but I doubt she would have coped thisyear; this is why I am so overwhelmed withgetting this assistance,” said Ngejane.Parents of the learners also came to express

their gratitude to the Department. NofundileSivuka from Nyanisweni in Bizana’s daugh-ter has received a bursary to study Veteri-nary Services at a university of her choice.“She is the eldest of four children and I was

very excited when she passed matric, but Iworried about getting money to send her touniversity,” said Sivuka.She said she is a single mother who earns

a living from doing laundry and gardeningfor local households.“I am so happy. God works miracles and I

trust my daughter will work hard until shecompletes her studies.”

THE South African Department of HigherEducation andTraining (DHET) iswarningGrade 12 pupils and prospective tertiarystudents of prevalent bogus colleges whichcontinue to defraud students.

The DHET describes the colleges as theillegitimate institutions of learning whichoperate illegally without the certificate ofaccreditation from the DHET, thus issuingunaccredited qualifications to students.Grade 12 pupils across the country wrote

their final examinations with each hopingto secure a place of study at an institutionof their choice. The hard pill to swallow isthat not all of them will manage due to dif-ferent circumstan-ces, being lack offunds, poor matricresults and late appli-cations. As a resultsomewill fall victimsof these so called op-portunists, bogus col-leges.Dr Mandlenkosi

Buthelezi who is the Director of PrivateTechnical andVocational Education Train-ing colleges (TVET) in the DHET has urgedprospective students to be sceptical and actresponsible when choosing an institutionwhich they aspire to further their studieson.“Not everything advertised in the media

is legitimate; therefore one needs to besceptical and question these things. Thefact that an institution was advertised onthe international media doesn’t guaranteeits legitimacy. Grade 12 pupils please dothorough research about your institutionof choice,” said Dr Buthelezi.Adding to his warnings, Buthelezi said

that everyone has the right to question aninstitution of learning of its registrationcertificate with the DHET before makingan application or paying any fees as theyare often said to be non-refundable.The fly-by-night colleges are said to be us-

ing flashy flyers claiming to be offering in-

ternational qualifications that are notrecognised in South Africa as they arenot registered on theNationalQualifica-tions Framework (NQF).A victim of the scam, Noluyanda Ngo-

boza from Mt Frere, who didn’t want tomention the institution that scammedher fearing for her safety, said that afterlearning that the private college shewasenrolled in was not recognised by theDHET, she went to report the matter tothe police station but the police officerssaid they were unable to help her.“I was registered for a National Certif-

icate in Information Technology. On theseventh month of my academic yearcoming from the June-July winter holi-days in Cape Town, my cousins told me

of such colleges whichthey said to be preva-lent in the WesternCape. Thematter both-ered me and I decidedto question my Zimb-abwean lecturer aboutthe legitimacy of thecollege. He freaked outat me and that’s whenI realised there was

something fishy.”“I continued digging for answers and

finally the secretary at the college toldme that the college was not legitimate.She told me that they never open a per-manent campus, they operate for a yearin one area and the following year theymigrate to somewhere else far. I went toopen a case of fraud at the police stationbut the police officers said they don’tdeal with such cases,” said Noluyanda.Shedding light on matters of such na-

ture, Dr Buthelezi said that there is aspecial task team employed to helpclamp down on such colleges which iscalled the National Bogus Colleges TaskTeam and the National Prosecuting Au-thority (NPA) forms part of it.In his last words Buthelezi added that

they work hand in glove with the SAPSand other law enforcement agencies intheir operation of cracking down the col-leges.

YOU know, since the year 2015 started, wehad something which linked us with Tsolo,as a result of most of our weekends we spentthere, spending some quality time with am-ajimbos adha, until late enjoying ourselves.

Mara we noticed something, every timeMapaputsi’s song started to play we wouldhear that someone had been stabbedamongst the groups that spend time intown.

Ithini na le ngoma kaMapaputsi kucacaukuba ivusa uhlevane if not umsindo eban-twini?

Nantsi isithi “Habobani ‘bakhumuli’zin-ja la, bayeke bazozwa”, iqhubeke ithi “Bebe-bengazi benzi phutha”.

Hayi bafethu once kwakhona umjitaovule lo ngoma emotweni yakhe kuTsolo,bassop, something will definitely happen.

Daai ding yenzeke four times and in otherdays if there was no one who played the songno one would be stabbed.

Nize nike niyiqaphele bafethu bakuTsoloabathanda uku-spender their quality timein the late hours with those groups in frontof the places we mentioned.

Khazi lo mgosi uzazi kangaka iindaba uz-ithuthelwa ngubani? Siyazizingela ke tana.

Hoping that there will be a change in2015

Ja, dear readers it’s a pleasure to informyou that next weekend we are starting our pa-trols in all T’kei taverns, clubs if not shebeensto check ukuba are there any new patrons orama-úsuals’ akathathanga zi-resolutions for2015, zokuthatha umhlala phantsi.

Surely we will conduct our door to doorcampaign from Friday up to Sunday, so ex-pect umgosi team wherever you are in theformer Transkei day and night, asilali kalok-usingama-soldier.

Please those who used to sleep in thosemnandi places they must take the resolutionto stop badedele abanye. Ayive isitsho kanjalonengoma kwezi-clubs.

Guys please make a resolution to stop beingwell known in those particular places andchange is’khundla. This year we are expect-ing newcomers esizobhala into entsha ngazokudala moss sibhala ngani nina kufanele uku-ba nidiniwe kwangulo mgosi team wasolokowahlahlelana nani nizihlalele emajikini.

Kazi wayemithela ntoni kanti usathan-da ubumnandi?

Hawwu!! Yimihlola yini le siyibonayoumntu okhulelweyo etywaleni ebusku? Sane-themba ukuba bazothatha iitake-aways andfuthi siqinisekile ukuba yi-soft drink.

Base baba-logger in kwi-tafile ibikufutsha-ne nathi bazithi hard staff kwangabi ndabazalutho. Eish!!

in the Mnquma Local Municipality where the soccerteams are currently competing in elimination rounds todecide who will represent their ward during the knock-out stages of the Mayor’s Cup.The final of the Mnquma Mayor’s Cup will be played

during the Easter holiday in April.Insurance giant Sanlam handed over a full soccer kit

At the handover Executive Mayor Ganjana said theteams which are participating were doing very well inshowcasing their talents.“We have not yet recorded how many teams are cur-

rently playing but I can confirm that games have startedin all the wards where they are preparing to get the win-ner to represent them,” said Ganjana.He said the aim of this tournament was to encourage

the Mnquma youth to stay away from drugs and partici-pating in criminal activities through sport which iswidely regarded as a great tool in achieving this.Ganjana added that the Mnquma Local Municipality

had appointed a contractor to build five sports groundsin the Mnquma area.According to Ganjana the sports grounds will be built

as soon as possible after a meeting with the MnqumaSport Council to identify communities where thosegrounds should be built.

THE highly anticipated match between thetwo sides contesting in the ABCMotsepe Sec-ond Division League, Matta Milan FC andMthatha City game was cancelled last week-end at Butterworth after match officials werenot satisfied with the condition of the groundas the lines were not clear.

The visitors’ coach, Sozizo Wana, of Mthat-ha City said they are highly disappointedabout travelling from Mthatha to Butter-worth and not being able to play due to poor

ground marks and lines that are not straight.“We accept the decision that was taken by

match officials that the match will not goahead because of unclear ground lines,marksand the unavailability of benches or chairsfor the reserves and we believe that we couldnot change the officials’ resolutions,” saidWana.He said they were not worried about the

postponement of their game because theyplay friendly games to keep their players fitall the time.In the log Mthatha City are on the 8th spot

with 9 points and their next game will be at

Mthatha Stadium on January 23.MeanwhileMatta FC coach Zanobuntu Sib-

ambane voiced a different view regarding thecancellation of the game between them andMthatha City and he believed that the matchofficials were too harsh.He said aWalter Sisulu groundsmandid the

pitch as he used to do so for their previousgames and even if the groundsman had mademistakes to the pitch, officials were supposedto call him and tell him to remark the pitchagain.Matta FC is in position 5 in the log standing

and their next gamewill be away against Buf-

falo FC also on January 23.The Chairman of the technical committee

of referees in the Province Ndumisane Nok-henke said officials were at the ground ontime but the home team, Matta FC, arrivedafter them and officials did everything theywere supposed to do before the kick-offtime.“Officials will write a report to the commit-

teewhichwill clarify exactlywhat influencedtheir decision to cancel the game. After re-ceiving the report theywill take a decision onwhen the game will be replayed,” said Nok-henke.
