THE South African Po-lice Services (SAPS)under the ButterworthCluster, hosted an imbi-zo at Centane with the

aim of giving people words of en-couragement and to advise themnot to take the law into their ownhands.

Police Spokesperson CaptainJackson Manatha said the eventwas very successful. The SAPShosted the event since the FestiveSeason was around the corner,when many ceremonies and cele-brations would be held at whichpeople could end up being killed.

“Centane is known as a crimehubwhere all kinds ofweapons areused to kill people. At the event,community members voiced theirconcerns and everything that trou-bled them in the Village of Qombo-lo,” said Manatha.

Among the problems that wereraised by the community was thatcriminals were arrested and re-leased without being convicted.Residents also blew the whistle onthe municipality, claiming therewas a lack of service delivery intheir areas.

The officials that attended theevent promised to take into consid-eration the queries and views ofthe community members.

King Zwelonke Sigcau said peo-ple must make sure that they fol-low the right instructions to avoiddeaths at initiation schools.

“It is also important to reporttraditional ceremonies to local tra-ditional leaders so that they areaware of the activities in their are-as.”

The Provincial Commissioner ofthe Eastern Cape Lieutenant Gen-eralCeliweBinta, urged communi-ty members to report crime to thepolice.

“You must not take the law intoyour own hands, because this willlead to you being arrested andcharged.”

PEP Stores East London recently embarkedon a mission to change the lives of the learn-ers at the Zikolokotha Junior SecondarySchool (JSS) in Elliotdale, when they donatedschool uniform and sports kit.

Itwas a big day for 26 learnerswho receivedschool uniforms and members of the school’snetball and rugby teams who received kit.School Principal, Fundile Sigwili, said this

was the second time the store had supportedthese learners.“In 2011 we noticed that our children were

struggling since they didn’t have uniforms.We thendecided towrite letters requesting as-sistance from various shops, including PepStores. We were very happy to receive posi-tive feedback from Pep,” said Sigwili.He said in 2012, Pep Stores donated school

uniform to 84 learners. He said Elliotdale isknown as the poorest of the poor and PepStores was trying to uplift the standard of liv-ing.“We appreciate the support we get fromPep

Stores. Our children now will have confi-dence when coming to school.”Deputy chairperson for the School Govern-

ing Body (SGB), Tamsanqa Jamela said they

were happy and were unable to express inwords their gratitude for what Pep Stores haddone for the children.“Really it will be as if we are repeating the

same words. The fact is we are appreciativeof the love shown by this shop. Our childrenwill become champions in sport, becausethey will now have confidence when playingbecause they have kit.”Human Resources Manager for Pep Stores,

Griff Maliwa, said they were on a mission tohelp the needy, including school children, be-cause they wanted to plough back into thecommunity.“We understand that we are not doing

enough, butwe are trying by allmeans to helpthe community. At the moment we are stillon our journey and we are looking forwardto helping the community,” said Maliwa.Maliwa saidwhen they gave somebodyado-

nation, they always did a follow-up, this iswhy they have visited Zikolokotha JSS again.He confirmed that they brought uniform, rug-by kit and netball kit because they wanted toput smiles on the children’s faces.“When someone is smiling because of a gift

you have given, a life is changed. We are notfocusing on schools only. We also look out forpeople who are struggling to make endsmeet.”

REPORTER

THOUSANDS of Eastern Cape learners facebeing without textbooks next year as the De-partment of Education has allegedly usedfunds for Learner Teacher Support Materi-als (LTSM) to pay teacher salaries and buyschool furniture.

The Publishers Association of South Afri-ca (PASA) has warned that it would take le-gal action against the department if it failsto meet its obligations to order the agreedtextbooks.The legal threat and funds diversion are

contained in two harshly worded lettersfrom PASA to Premier Phumulo Masualle,Education MECMandla Makupula and Act-

ing Head of Department, Ray Tywakadi.The funds diversion is also mentioned in

a memorandum by finance MEC SakhumziSomyo, dated August 11, informing the de-partment that R200-million of its LTSMbudget would be used to pay the salaries of502 teachers.“About R100-million must be allocated for

compensation of employees for the fundingof 502 teaching posts in critical subjects likemathematics, physical science, Afrikaans,geography, agriculture and accounting.”“A further R100-million [must] be allocat-

ed for the provision of school furniturewhich is procured by National Treasurythrough their chief procurement officer,”Somyo wrote. Somyo confirmed the diver-sion of funds, saying it was necessitated by

Concern as text books for 2015 have not been ordered yetthe department’s under-expenditure in itsLTSM budget.“We monitor spending of all departments

andwehad seen that theywouldunderspendand needed funds for something else. So weadvised accordingly.”Department spokesman Loyiso Pulumani

also confirmed that money meant for LTSMwould be used to pay teacher salaries.“Yes, this is true. Last year, the depart-

ment finalised the implementation of theCurriculum Assessment Policy Statement(Caps) with a full delivery of all the requirednew learner and teacher support materials.“As a rule, the departmental retention poli-cy allocates a life-span of three years fornewly delivered materials.“This means that in 2015 the department

is only providing supplementary topping-upmaterials, which ordinarily should not ex-ceed 10% of the previous year’s full order”.Pulumani said there was no shortfall and

the available resources were more thanenough to provide for a top-up.However, in a letter dated October 24, PA-

SA’s provincial representative, WarrenKliphuis, wrote that publishers had still notreceived orders.“Any further delays in the release of or-

ders will place the possibility of textbooksand other resources being delivered beforethe academic year in jeopardy.”Cilliers also informed Masualle and

Makupula that PASA had been informedthat the department may cancel some of theoutstanding orders.

“Should theorders be can-celled, pub-lishers willsuffer sub-stantial dam-ages arisingout of the com-mitments andexpenditurepursuant tothe indicativeorders,” Cil-liers wrote.“If, howev-

er, the depart-ment intendsto cancel theoutstandingorders, it isPASA’s viewthat such con-duct wouldconstitute un-fair and un-reasonable ad-ministrativeaction, and thepublisherswill have nooption but toseek legal ad-vice, whichcould result inlegal action.”

A NEW substation at Nonkobe in Mthathawas opened recently by Eskom to strengthenthe electricity backbone in the Eastern Cape.

This R392 million project consists of twotransformers and six 132 feeder bays that sup-ply power in the Southern region of the East-ern Cape, being OR Tambo, Amathole and Al-fred Nzo Districts.

The Vuyani Substation was officiallyopened by the Deputy Minister of Public En-terprise, BulelaniMagwanishe, alongside theSpeaker of the Legislature Noxolo Kiviet.

Magwanishe said this power boost in theprovince would assist it to do away with pow-er outages and strengthen electricity trans-mission.

“This area normally had load shedding dur-ing windy days and due to the high demandof electricity.

“This would now be a thing of the past,”said Deputy Minister.

Magwanishe further urged the communitymembers of Nonkobe to look after the stationand to make sure that it is not vandalized.

Mongezi Ntsokolo, Group Executive at Es-kom Group said the station consisted of twotransfomers which could pick up a lot moreload, ensuring there was consistent powersupply for the region.

“This is a major power input in the prov-

ince which will provide reliable and secureelectricitywith access capacity,” saidNtsoko-lo.

He added that with three districts suppliedby this substation, when one of the districtshad a problem, the other two could easily pickup and the matter would then be resolved inno time.

Eskom has contributed a substantialamount of money to the community trust ofNonkobe as compensation for the land used.

Asiyiyeke ke eyo size kule sifuna ukubhalangayo. Xa sasiqala ukungena kule field ye-gossip phaya koo1996, sifikele kwenye i-outieiyibambile kwathi ngokuya kufunwa imise-benzi seeking for greener pastures salahleka-na yonke le minyaka.

Until, sibonane kwa-Dan in a businessbreakfast meeting last Thursday.

Aisaa!! Siyabona ifani ngathi nguye marasiphinde simthandabuze kuba wayengenabu-so bu-round ngala ndlela wayetshongecwecwana lobuso ebhityile enjalo nje.Sadideka saphela ke xa sibona nenteshe.Kwayena nje ngathi babafana bama-BBabashaya ngama-shirt abapitsayo. Siqinisekexa ekhwaza uGesh.

AWUU!! Serious ngu-Chief lo as we calledhim.

Kuyabonakala ukuba intwana idla imaliand he is the manager of a certain radio sta-tion here in TKI.

Siyavuya ke Chief to see that you achievedafter we’ve lost each other, nathi sisayibam-bile apha kwi-gossip mara ngeze sifele apha,nathi sifuna ukodla imali nje ngabafana ba-

hoster ama-party every weekend.

OW!! Amagqirha etavern?Iyakufuna umama uNokzola Mndende ake

aphuhlise ukuba igqirha lihamba liphele phi?Kuba ngolwethu ulwazi oluncinane igqirhaakungomntu ohamba engena nje nakwiinda-wo zentselo kuba uhlonipha abaphantsi.

Mhlawumbe ke la anamhlanje sele ajika.BesithunywengumkhulukaGeshukuba som-bambela i-nip ye1818 kwenye itavern eBuh-lanyanga eLusiki ngelixa sizithela kumag-qirha amabini abosisi esejoyntini futhi ebu-gaxile hayi kancinane and esaqhubeka futhi.HOO!

Kanti le nto yobugqirha ihamba iphelelephi, kuba nokuthetha besekuthethelwa phe-zulu ingasekho nala nto kuthiwa igqirhauqale ulichozise phambi kokuba uthethe na-lo.

Apha bekubabo abakhwaza abantu. Shame,le yanamhlanje intwaso.

Uyabona ke sesiqhele oosisi abanxiba ii-brukhwe kwezi ndawo zentselo, so asibinangxaki nokuba umntu uhleli njani nokubaangawa.

Nothing which is private will be exposed.Ngoku kule imeko yalamagqirha ebenxibe ii-mini-skirts zobugqirha ezibomvu nokuhlalakungekho grand kaloku sebenxilile.

Khazi yaphelela phi intlonipho kwabaleleukuthula. Asazi.

Why always negative things?

We fail to understand the practice ofdrunkardswho alwaysmake their drunken-ness a scapegoat.

If alcohol can change your mind whydoesn’t it make you do positive things butit will always be the negatives?

Like for instance if you are drunk whydon’t you take a spade and plough the gar-den but it would be always beatings if notinsults or provoking someone?

Mna Gesh I will never forgive someonewho can provoke or do whatever and comethe next day to apologise and blame alcohol.

You knowwhat, there is a friend of uswhoalways chases away his family when he isdrunk and the next day he apologises andblames everything to liquor.

Ayikho lo nto yazi ukusukela namhlanjemem. Why le nto angake afike akuphekeleavuke ekuseni esithi akayazi yonke lo ntoyokupheka ebenxilile.

Tyhini!!Le sadlala abantu besile.

Love is blind neh??Now we surrender.Why boys naqhamka senithi niyanikeze-

la? Dear readers now we understand themeaning of the words ‘love is blind’.

There is couple staying not far from ourroom; they always arguing which alwaysends up in serious quarrel.

De abethwe usisi onzakaliswe. Siyolamlasimcebise usisi.

Lo mntu myeke kungenjalo one day he willkill you.

Oh!! my sister uyongathi she will considerour advice but within a few days she is backin that room.

Why sisi? I love uSitha I cannot live withouthim.

You see,what our sisters are doing?They sac-rifice their lives in the name of love.

But what normally follows after that endur-ance of abuse is death.

But ke what can you do umntu xa ethandaumntu wakhe.

Siyivala nge-note ebuhlunguThe entire gossip teamwould like to take this

opportunity to pass the words of condolencesto the family of Mbuyiselo Isaac Mraxa whowas a Communications Officer for the Depart-ment of Agriculture in the OR Tambo region.

He was also a writer.May his soul rest in peace sohlala sikukhum-
