STANDING in for theMEC of Roads and PublicWorks, Nomvuzo Mlombile-Cingo, who is theChairperson of the Department of Roads andPublic Works Committee, has expressed herdiscontentment with workers of the depart-ment’s Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP).

In different parts of the province where theEPWP is operational, the workers are referredto as “onocambalala” which implies they idleaway hours while lying down during workinghours.To ensure the smooth running of the EPWP

in the OR Tambo District, which is the umbrel-la of five local municipalities, the Departmentof Roads andPublicsWorks has launched a spe-cial EPWP District Political Committee in thedistrict.The committee’s objective is to monitor the

programme and to ensure accountability of themunicipal officials in their respective munici-palities.Speaking at the OR Tambo hall during the

launch, Cingo said, “We live in an age where

our people are struggling because of a lackof employment. That we can’t deny, but wetry our best to create jobs for our people sothat they can feed their families. But what dothey do? They cambalala (lie down) duringwork hours.“With the programme we want to make

sure that our people get the necessary skillsso that they can be able to stand on their owntomorrow as contractors. But the reports weget about their conduct at work raises con-cerns.“Hopefully a lot will change once the com-

mittee comes into effect.Everybody fromoffi-cials to contractors will be accountable asfrom now on,” said Cingo.All delegates of the five local municipali-

tiesunder theORTamboDistrictMunicipali-tywho attended the launch ensured adoptionand implementation of the policy of the new-ly launched committee in their respectivemunicipalities.Mayor of the King Sabatha Dalindyebo

Local Municipality, NonkolisoNgqongwa, also stressed the issue oftransparency and accountability amongmunicipal officials.

A NGANGELIZWE born and former profes-sional boxer is among the suspects arrestedfor an attempted armed robbery at a post of-fice in Mampube location in Port St Johns onNovember 17.

In this incident, one suspect was killed,while onewas injured and fourwere arrested.This came after police foiled an allegedplanned armed robbery at the Post office.It is alleged that six suspects were travel-

ling in awhiteMercedesBenz during the time

of the incident and police received a tip-offthat an armed robbery was about to takeplace.Mkholisi Bonxa (26), a former boxer born in

Ngangelizwe township, Mthatha, appeared inthe Port St Johns Magistrates’ Court on No-vember 26, togetherwithhis allegedaccomplic-es Thobile Zinto,Masizakhe ‘Jazz’ Goniwe (42),aUgandanMosesBusulwa(35),whohas turnedstate witness, and Tholekile Gedem (34).They are facing charges of attempted mur-

der and the illegal possession of firearms andammunition. It is alleged that after refusingto stop, as instructed by the police the sus-

pects had opened fire in the direction of thepolice vehicle and the police returned fire,killing one suspect.The suspects were denied bail and were re-

manded in custody until November 28.During cross-examination in an attempt to

get bail, Mkholisi told the court he was a pro-fessional boxer, claiming that he is an East-ernCape Flyweight championwho represent-ed the province in Namibia and Russia. He al-so claimed that he was rated number 2 in thetop ten in South Africa. Mkholisi is a formeremployee of SBV services, where he trans-ported money. Former Eastern Cape boxing

team coach Mthetho Dumezweni, confirmedthat Bonxawas a professional boxer before hequit, because of his commitment in his workof escorting themoney. “But Imet himrecent-ly and he told me that he was starting a gymbecause he wanted to return to boxing nextyear.” He said Bonxa was known as Stena (ablock) in the boxing fraternity.He denied that Bonxa represented the EC

in Namibia and Russia. He expressed his ago-ny after hearing news that the former boxerwas implicated in an attempted robbery case.“I think there is something we failed to doright in boxing,” said Dumezweni.

THE Eastern Cape MEC for Sports, Recreation, Arts andCulture Pemmy Majodina agreed that there is a hugemountain to climb in order to restore the culture of writ-ing properly and readingmother tongue language fluent-ly within the present generation, owing to social net-works.

Majodina said the reason for this was that that the in-digenous languages was being made inferior.She said there was a need that arts and culture be

taught in schools and be in the mainstream of the sylla-bus.Majodina said today’s childrenwere failing dismallyto write properly and read fluently in their own languag-es because social networks are in dominance.She said the present generation spent most of their

time in social network style of writing which ends up be-coming a norm.Majodina said currently learners were no longer good

at reading or writing, except for the unwelcome style of

writing theywere using on social networks likewhatsap,facebook and so forth.“They are using this style ofwriting evenwhenwriting

a formal letter.”She called on parents to take charge in restoring the

culture of writing and reading by not allowing their chil-dren to pay more attention to cellphones than theirbooks. “I know they bought these phones for their chil-dren, but parents must also restrict them.”Majodina also said that theywere on amission to re-in-

troduce Xhosa books likeUnyanaWomntu, Buzani kuBa-wo and others, in order to encourage a culture of readingto the young people of today.“We are building libraries trying to make our children

read for pleasure, but parentsmust also take centre stageby motivating their children.” said Majodina.She said they wanted to ensure that the young people

understood the importance of libraries and reading.Majodina is expected to open a library next month in

WHILE just the mention of the name SARSmay strike fear in many people, taxpayerswill be relieved to know that there is an Om-bud to resolve disputes with the taxman.

The Office of the Tax Ombud has recentlyreleased its first annual report, which also co-incides with the first anniversary of the insti-tution. The report covers thework done in thesix months (October 2013 to 31March 2014)since the appointment of the Tax Ombud, re-tired Judge Bernard Ngoepe.The CEO of the Tax Ombud Advocate Eric

Mkhawane, visited the Eastern Cape to shareinformation with local tax practitioners onthe role of the Tax Ombud and how to followprocess on complaining about SARS.According to Adv. Mkhawane, it is impor-

tant for taxpayers to note that the Ombud isnot a part of SARS, but acts independentlyand reports to the Minister of Finance, Nh-lanhla Musa Nene.

“We are not an extension of SARS. It is ourmandate to review and address taxpay-ers’complaints about the service they receivefrom SARS, as well as procedural or adminis-trative issues relating to their dealings withSARS,” said Adv. Mkhawane.One can approach the office of the Tax Om-

bud if one has tried to resolve a service, ad-ministrative or procedural complaint direct-ly with SARS, at the branch where the casewas dealt with or through the SARS ContactCentre or theSARSServiceMonitoringOfficeand allowed reasonable time for resolution ofthe complaint. If it was not resolved success-fully the complaint can be escalated to the Of-fice of the Tax Ombud.Adv. Mkhawane, who was a regional man-

ager of SARS in Port Elizabeth for over 2years, also was a practising advocate beforetaking on the CEO position.According to him, the number and nature

of complaints received and resolved duringthe first year confirm that South Africa’s taxsystem indeed owed taxpayers this additional

avenue for dispute resolution, which is prov-ing to be important in contributing to the im-provement of a fair tax system.The Office has thus far worked with indi-

vidual taxpayers, tax representatives, busi-ness institutions and other types of taxpay-ers.According toAdv.Mkhawane, themajority

of complaints received were from private in-dividuals. In the first six months, a total of156 complaints were received by the Ombud.Out of those 61 could have been immediatelydealt with. A total of 64 had to be referred toSARS as the dispute has to be first taken upwith SARS and is only to be escalated to theOmbud if the dispute is not resolved.Another31 arose out of complaints before themandat-ed period of the Ombud, i.e. before 1 October2012, but according to Adv. Mkhawane theyhave requested permission from theministerof finance to deal with them.For more information on the Office of the

Tax Ombud visit www.taxombud.gov.za. or call0800 662 837

THE Traditional Leadership in Mount Ayliffhas voiced their support for the name changeof Mount Ayliff town.

The community here had lodged a formallegal challenge to the use of the name MountAyliff instead of MaXesibeni.

It is said that the community had not beenconsulted with the first name change processof the area for the use of Mount Ayliff as thename of the town. By lodging this challengethey wanted the government to rectify thisoversight. The submission was made to thegeographical names committee.The traditional leadership here made it

clear that they supported the name change of

the town. Chief Nonyaniso Fikeni of XesibeTribal Authority stressed that there was aneed for a name change and that the town benamed according to its history and the cul-ture of the people staying here.“I fully support the name change. Even

when we introduce ourselves we say we arefrom MaXesibeni,” said Nkosi Fikeni.Nkosi Mnyamezeli Gaga echoed the words

of Chief Fikeni, stating that they didn’t evenknow the “Ayliff” after which the town wasnamed.“What we know is that he was a white trad-

er in this town, but know no other historyabout him. This is why we are suggesting thetown to be named eMaXisibeni, because thoseare the people who are staying here and itwould be wise to honour them,” said Gaga.

THEDemocratic Alliance in the province hasissued a statement this week pointing out thewater crisis in the rural areas of Nyandeniand King Sabata Dalindyebo municipalities.

Veliswa Mvenya, DA Member of Parlia-

ment, said the former Transkei villages arestill deprived of water after 20 years of democ-racy and that this region has been neglected bythe ANC-led government.“Residents of ward 21 in theKSDmunicipali-

ty and Ward 24 in the Nyandeni municipalityhave pleaded with government on numerousoccasions to supply them with sustainable wa-

ter services. No assistance has been provid-ed in this regard,” she said.Ward 21 residents have resorted to protest

action in order to draw the attention of gov-ernment officials. Police officers were laterordered to arrest them.Mvenya said to date, no progress has been

madewith the provision of water services tothis community.“In Ward 24, residents’ expectations were

raised in 2009 when pipes were installed butthe project was left incomplete even thoughcontractors had been paid for the job,” shesaid in a statement.It is alleged that community members

were falling ill from drinking contaminatedwater from the riverswhich they sharewithanimals.Ward 24 residents wrote to the Depart-

ment of Local Government and TraditionalAffairs MEC Fikile Xasa, calling for his in-tervention in the water crisis in their areaand he responded in a letter dated October20.“The Department has communicated

with OR Tambo District Municipality tocheck the status of the project that was sup-posed to supplywater to the aforementionedward,” said Xasa in a letter of response.

The letter further stated that the project,Buthongweni Water Supply, was initiated in2007 with a project cost to the tune of R22 mil-lion.“Phase one of the project covered the con-

struction of bulk water lines and reservoirs,while Phase 2 dealt with the construction ofwater treatment works and reticulation,” theletter continued to explain.In that letter, it was stated that the chal-

lenge with the schemewas the high operatingcost incurred, since the scheme used dieselengines to pumpwater into the reservoirs. Todeal with thismatter, OR Tambo had request-ed Eskom to submit a quotation to alter thepump stations from diesel to electric-drivenmotors which were more economical.“The Department of Cooperative Govern-

ance and Traditional Affairs commited to fol-low-up with the OR Tambo District Munici-pality to ensure that the outstanding work isquickly done in order for the scheme to be-come fully operational,” saidMECXasa in theletter.“If the department does not provide water

for thesewardswith immediate effect, the DAwill take up the issue with the public protec-tor and the South African Human RightsCommission,” said Mvenya.

THE national Department of Basic Education,last week announced drastic changes regard-ing the publication of National Senior Certifi-cate results. The names of Grade 12 learnerswill no longer appear next to matric resultsin newspapers.

Departmental Spokesperson, Elijah Mhlan-ga, said that the Council of Education, com-prising the Minister Angie Motshekga, Depu-ty Minister Enver Surty and the ProvincialMEC, met last week and suggested a reviewon the procedure.

Mhlanga said the decision was taken follow-

SANELE JAMES

THE South African Department of HigherEducation and Training (DHET) is warn-ing Grade 12 pupils and prospective terti-ary students of so-called bogus collegeswhich continue to defraud students.

The DHET describes the colleges as ille-gitimate institutions of learning which op-erate illegally without certificates of ac-creditation from the DHET, thus issuingunaccredited qualifications to students.

Grade 12 pupils across the country havejust finished writing their final examina-tions in the hope of securing a place tostudy at an institution of their choice.

Unfortunately, due to many factors, notall of them will manage to do so. These fac-tors include a lack of funds, poor matric re-sults and late applications. As a resultsome will fall victim to these so-called bo-gus colleges.

Dr Mandlenkosi Buthelezi, who is theDirector of Private Technical and Voca-tional Education Training colleges (TVET)in the DHET, has urged prospective stu-dents to be sceptical and act responsiblywhen choosing an institution where theyaspire to further their studies.

“Not everything advertised in the mediais legitimate; therefore one needs to besceptical and question these things. Thefact that an institution was advertised inthe international media doesn’t guaranteeits legitimacy. Grade 12 pupils please dothorough research about your institutionof choice,” said Dr Buthelezi.

Adding to his warnings, Buthelezi saidthat everyone has the right to question aninstitution of learning regarding its regis-tration certificate with the DHET beforemaking an application or paying any fees.

The fly-by-night colleges are said to beusing flashy flyers claiming to be offering

international qualifications that are notrecognised in South Africa as they are notregistered on the National QualificationsFramework (NQF).

A victim of the scam, Noluyanda Ngobo-za from Mt Frere, who didn’t want to men-tion the institution that she said defraudedher, fearing for her safety, said after learn-ing that the private college she was en-rolled in was not recognised by the DHET,she went to report the matter to the police,but the police officers said they were notin a position to help her.

“I was registered for a National Certifi-cate in Information Technology. On theseventh month of my academic year, re-turning from the June-July winter holi-days in Cape Town, my cousins told me ofsuch colleges which they said to be preva-lent in the Western Cape. The matter both-ered me and I decided to question my Zim-babwean lecturer about the legitimacy ofthe college. He freaked out at me and that’swhen I realised there was somethingfishy.”

“I continued digging for answers and fi-nally the secretary at the college told methat the college was not legitimate. She toldme that they never opened a permanentcampus, they operated for a year in one ar-ea and the following year they would mi-grate to somewhere else far away. I wentto open a case of fraud at the police station,but the police officers said they didn’t dealwith such cases,” said Noluyanda.

Shedding light on matters of such na-ture, Dr Buthelezi said that there was aspecial task team employed to help clampdown on such colleges. It is called the Na-tional Bogus Colleges Task Team and theNational Prosecuting Authority (NPA)forms part of it.

Buthelezi said that they worked hand inglove with the SAPS and other law enforce-ment agencies to eradicate the problem.

Gr12 ‘s warned of bogus colleges

ing a Ministerial Task Team which investi-gated all sorts of issues around the NationalSenior Certificate (NSC). The task team rec-ommended that the Department must reviewthe practice of publishing the names of learn-ers in newspapers. “We will use exam num-bers only which makes the result known onlyto the person who has the exam number of thelearner. In other words the learners and fami-ly members of the learners who wrote the ex-ams will still be able to access the results,”he said, highlighting that there would be noID numbers published, only exam numbers.

He said 688 660 learners sat for the NSC thisyear and they were optimistic about an excel-lent national pass rate.

MORE than 100 pu-pils from a schoolnear Libode arecrammed together in-to one classroom,with different gradesforced to share thesame space.

The Grade R class-room at DingilizweSenior PrimarySchool in Mdlanko-mo location is not on-ly used to teach theyoungerpupils, but isalso used as a staff-room, principal’s of-fice and storeroom.Principal

Ntuthuzelo Jamesonsaid the lack of prop-er infrastructure wasparticularly strenu-ous. He said there areno toilets and kidshave to relieve them-selves outside.“Classrooms are

small and over-crowded, making itdifficult to operate,”said Jameson.A pupil at the

school said not hav-ing any toilets was aproblem, especiallyfor girls during cer-tain times of themonth. One girl saidshe waited untilschool was out andchanged at home.“Because I’m holdingthe urine my periodpains worsens and Ican’t concentrate inclass.” Jameson saidhe had approachedthe department of ed-ucation numeroustimes.Education spokes-

man MalibongweMtima said, “The de-partment is in con-sultation with stake-holders of the schoolto have their buy-inon tabled proposals,which relate to ra-tionalisation and rea-lignment of theschool.” He said be-cause there was afunctional state-of-the-art school near-by, at some stagethere would be an un-derstanding betweenthe two communitiesto join the schools.The inadequate

sanitation at Dingi-lizwe Senior PrimarySchool has causedtension between theschool and residentsof the area.Tempers flared last

weekwhenangry res-idents demanded thatJameson order pu-pils to collect dirtypaper, which pupilsused to wipe them-selves with andwhich had blownfrom where childrenrelieved themselvesto the residents’homes.“Pupils had to col-

lect paper that wasnot used by them.You can imagine howthey must have feltabout collecting an-other child’s faeces,”said Jameson.

THE Chairperson of Siyakha Ma-Afrika Fed-eration of Contractors, Bafana Ndendwa, haslambasted government for failing to pay itsservice providers on time.

Ndedwa said this is really affecting thegrowth of the business, advising governmentto stop it as it also jeopardised the lives of thebusiness owners.“Government cannot say, it empowers peo-

ple while its departments or government it-self pay service providers very late. Mostemerging businesses fail to grow because ofthe late payments. Just imagine you use thelast cent of your business expecting the gov-ernment to pay you soon after the job is done,only to find you get payment after somemonths while your workers are also lookingat you to get their salaries,” he said.Ndendwa was addressing the business

community of the OR Tambo in Mthatha re-cently. He said this action by governmentcaused unbearable stress to the owners ofbusinesses. He mentioned two business peo-

ple who committed suicide due to the lack ofpayment from the government. Hementionedone in KwaZulu-Natal and one in the EasternCape.Nevertheless, he also called onblack-owned

businesses to create a conducive atmosphereand find a way to work together in order toget support from the government. He saidmost of the black-owned businesses didn’thave capacity.He said business people must also stop

fighting with presidency positions; insteadtheymust combine thesemany organizationsinto one organization.“Let’s find a way to work together, using

our strengths to deal with weakness.”He was very sad that there were no black

business people who owned shares in the Jo-hannesburg stock exchange. “We do not evenown 10% in the Johannesburg stock ex-change. Why?”He also condemned the corruption which

was taking place in government departmentsregarding the issuing of jobs or tenders. “Cor-ruption undermines the state’s procurementpolicy and black empowerment.”

Being a man, how do you get raped?

Dear readers as you know ukuthi in gossipteam spade is a spade not a garden tool. Andat the same time we are always on the sideof the news on the Express land.Wewere really astonished last week to hear

that there was a 26-year-old man who wasraped by a woman in Holly Cross, Flag (Flag-staff). We asked ourselves how a man can beraped by one woman. Not an old man but ayoung man.Hayi, la kuthi ooGesh there is no woman

who can force or pin me down and rape meunless I’m also interested.But even if she succeeds there is no way I

can go out there telling other people I gotraped. But shame, nifane niyathetha njeGeshbecause of the fact that there are men outthere who are the victims of rape from theirwives if not partners.Ave xa ungayifuni na daai ding kuthiwa

musa ukunyanzeliswa because if someoneforces you to do it that is rape. Anyway weare not trying to provoke anyone but we aretrying to set the record straight.At leastwe understand the situation of Free

State madala who was allegedly raped byyoung woman at a knife point. The old manhad no chance since he had no energy tomatch that drunken woman.Bafethu perhaps someonewill explain to us

howthis chapwas rapedbyonewoman.Sivileukuthi he opened a case perhaps truth willprevail in court.

You are embarrassing your hubby andnot yourself sisi

Whatever you do in thisExpressLand turnsback to you even though you were intendingto prove a point. Like for instance a womanwho was shashalazing her husband at theShopping complex in front of Rhino Cash andCarry in Qumbu. She was screaming at himas if she was her younger son.Shame, amanye amadoda ahleli kalusizi

and nezimfihlo ezinzima. Hey, nkosiyam um-ntwana womntu sefane ejonge phantsi woyi-ka nokuphakamisa amehlo kube bonke aban-tu bebethe njo kule ndoda nalo mfazi ush-ashalaza indoda ngoluhlobo.Mara ke koba sathiwani kuthiwa indoda

ayikhali.But what we liked in this incident people

never paid attention to the abused hubby butasked themselveswhat kind of awifewas thatone. Because kaloku in our culture it isstrange to see aman bullied by his wife in fullview of the public.Even if sisi you used to abuse your husband

but not in front of others.Mmm, Iwonderhowis the situation back at home if she’s got gutsto humiliate him in town in front of people.Ngawo ke la madoda afihla i-rape.Shame, let’s stop ukukhuluma iindaba za-

bantu bazakusicaphukela abantu.

We support 100 percent the 16 days ofActivism Against women and childrenabuse

As the Umgosi team and employees of theExpress we wish to share with our readersthat we do support the 16 days of Activismthat was launched on November 25 to Decem-ber 10. With us we wish this could be encour-aged 365 days and not only 16 days.We also would like to encourage people es-

pecially men to please adhere and be activeall the time in ensuring that women and chil-dren are not abused at all and should makethem feel safe around them.

WALTER Sisulu University’s (WSU) fashiondepartment once again marvelled East Lon-don’s fashionists at their annual flaunt atMn-gena Lodge in Chintsa last Friday evening.

The fashion show was in collaborationwith Da Gama Textiles and sawWSU studentdesigners launching a new clothing fabric bythe manufacturer called “Banya Banya”.WSU fashion department technician, Sibu-

sisiwe Nodada, said, before the event, thatfashion enthusiasts should expect nothingless than a stellar demonstration of the latesttrends from the students this year.“The fabric is bright and beautiful; soft and

it’s easy to wash,” she said.According toNodada, a developmental uni-

versity puts the students on a better platformbecause the global aspect is taught, but theprogramme is also embedded in theUniversi-ty’s Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS)culture which sets the students apart fromthose of other universities.“Through the support structure at the uni-

versity, students are well positioned to upliftthemselves from the type of background theyhave,” Nodada said.The Eastern Cape Developmental Corpora-

tion, Da Gama textiles, City stationers, IDCArchitects and the Johannesburg SewingCentre are partners and official sponsors ofthe show.WSU’s Spokesperson, Angela Church, said

WSU’s fashion programme is definitely cutfrom a different cloth as it fosters a develop-mental approach due to its setting and thetype of students it caters for as a comprehen-sive university.She further encouraged Matric students to

consider a Fashion Diploma at WSU.“With aminimum requirement of a matric

certificate with a university entry, studentsmay enrol at WSU’s fashion department. Ap-plications are open until December 18,” shesaid.

THE 2014 Heroes Marathon, a Transkei flag-ship event which will take place in Mthathaon Tuesday 16 December, was launched at theBoardwalk ICC last Thursday.

The event, according toMEC for Sport, Rec-reation, Arts and Culture Pemmy Majodinawas started in 1999 in the former Transkei.

“The event is a vehicle to commemorate he-roes and heroines coming from the EasternCape, The Home of Legends, and is celebratedon the Day of Reconciliation,” said Majodinaduring the launch.

Explaining why the event was launched inPort Elizabeth, while it was taking place inMthatha in the King Sabatha DalindyeboMu-nicipality, the MEC said, “We are one prov-ince. This is not a Transkei, but an EasternCape event which is open not only to EasternCape-based athletes but to others from acrossthe country and including SADC countrieslike Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi.”

Furthermore, according to Majodina, theywanted to dispel the myth that governmentdidnot sponsor events of suchmagnitude tak-ing place in the Transkei and that road run-ning was for urban areas only.

The DSRAC sponsored R2 million HeroesMarathon is aimed at attracting a mixture oftourists to the province as it is linked to theLiberationRoutewhich touches base atQunu

where former State President and liberationstruggle hero, Nelson Mandela’s world herit-age burial place is, said Majodina.

She added that this year’s racewould be thefirst since the passing of late former Presi-dent Nelson Mandela.

“Madiba used to support this marathon,hencewehavenot changed its start inQunu,”saidMajodina, adding that theywere encour-aging mass participation in this sportingevent, since sport was a catalyst for nationbuilding and social cohesion.

She said the event, which promotes ahealthy life-style, will call for a generationalmix involving the youth, veterans, mastersand grand masters.

“There is something exciting for the ath-letes as well,” said MEC Majodina about thehuge prizes on offer.

Prize money will be equally split betweenmen and women: R90 000 for men and womenwho come first, R30 000 for coming secondand R20 000 for third position in the 42,2 km.

“The Heroes Marathon will be a familyevent with a fantastic, jam-packed entertain-ment programme.

The organisers expected 2 000 participantsin the 42,2 km, 10 km and the 5km races thisyear compared to the 1000 that registered lastyear.

The 5km fun run was described as a familyevent which will encourage finishing, ratherthan competitive running.
