Refugeeinflux coming?>> Municipality prepares for possible refugee influx

NTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

THE Kwa Sani Municipality has madepreparations for refugees who mightcome across from Lesotho. This is after

Lesotho experienced a military coup attempttwo weeks ago.

KwaSanimayorMduBandasaidtheymadepreparations after beingadvisedthat theremightbeLesotho nationals comingacross into South Africa toseek refuge, and Kwa Saniis near the Lesotho border.

Banda said they calledtogether stakeholders,Cogta officials, social de-velopment, Sassa, HomeAffairs and the SAPS todraft a plan of action re-garding the possible influxrefugees.

“We have set up two refugee camps, one isKwaPitela CommunityHall near the Sani Passborder and one in St Francis Catholic Churchnear the Bushman’s Nek border post.”

Bandasaid theyhavealso toldcommunitiesand farm owners about this.

“We explained the situation in Lesotho to

the people and made them understand thatpeople will seek help from other places,including our country, and we will be the firstto welcome them because we are near theborder,” he said.

He said state security agents visited the twocamps to check whether they are suitable.

“With the assistance of stakeholders wehavemadesurethereareblankets, food,toilets

and water, as these areusually the first thingsrefugees need,” he said.

Lesotho’s militaryseized control of policeheadquarters in the tinyAfrican kingdom twoweeks ago. It had been re-ported that the armedforces, the special forces ofLesotho, took the policeheadquarters.

The power struggle be-tween tworivalparties in the landlockedcoun-try earlier drew concern from South Africa,which getswater and electricity from the king-dom.

Lesotho’sdeadlockedpoliticalparties failedtomeet last Friday’s deadline for a fresh peacedeal, prompting South Africa to call an emer-gency meeting of regional leaders.

GREETINGS to all Kwa Sani residents.It is a great pleasure that we meet

again this week as September is Herit-age Month, a month of culture, a season thatevokes the spirit of Ubuntu within each andevery one of us.

What standsbetween theKwaSaniMunici-pality and the community are the promiseswemade to provide service delivery in all formsand at whatever cost to the people, hence wewill stand by our vows as the municipality.

OnourmissionofmovingKwaSani forwardwe held a youth and career exhibition day atKwa-Pitela community hall in Ward 1.

The event was graced by the presence ofMayor Cllr Mdu Banda, Cllr Mqwambi, CllrCrawley and Cllr Adam whose presence in-spired the youth.

Themayor gaveamessageof support to theyouth and in his words he mentioned that thecommunitythatonelivesinisareflectionofyouand thatweneed to be the ambassadors of ourcommunities.

The objective of the day was to expose theyouth to programmes, to motivate and to givethem skills and guidance that will preparethem for tertiary as well as the working envi-ronment.

The turnout was good as we saw a number

ofyouthfromalloverKwaSaniparticipatewithenthusiasm on the day.

Likeagrapefruit thedaygotbetterwithtimeas we saw the launch of the local youthcoun-cil. The structurewhich is formedby the youthof Kwa Sani will work closely with the districtyouth council.

Themainobjective is tochampiontheneedsand programmes of the youth. ChairpersonSkhumbuzoMlibeni mentioned that the youthof Kwa Sani must hold them, the youth, ac-countable at all times as they are prepared toserve the people and deliver on their mandateas the youth council.

TheKwaSaniMunicipality defines changesand transformation in all aspects of develop-ment — on 13 September we saw the birth ofDuzi 2 Sani which took place in conjunctionwith the Kwa Sani Food Tasting expo. Thisevent joinedthetwomunicipalities—Msundu-zi and Kwa Sani — promoting tourism withinour local areas.

Tourism does not necessarily mean youhave to visit areas that are far from you, but avisit to your neighbour is still a tour, hence asKwaSaniandMsunduziweencouragethatthiswill ensure that money circulates within thesetwo areas. Until next time, have yourselves ablessed weekend ahead.

WARM greetings to Umzimkhulu peopleAuditor-GeneralThe annual draft report had been presented to

council by Mayor Cllr. MB Mpabanga. As part of com-pliance, the council has met the deadline for the sub-mission of the annual financial statements and per-formance information. The Auditor-General is contin-uing with the audit.

Precinct plansPrecinct plans are progressing well for the Ibis,

Clydesdale and Riverside nodal areas, and the meet-ing between Clydesdale residents was a success andan understanding is beginning to emerge. We wel-come the concerns raised however, they should notmake us enemies instead they should encourage ro-bust engagement. The interaction will invigorate therelationship for the betterment of the community.The impasse is on land matter which is not within ourreach as the local municipality. Indeed those issuesare of importance to the community, but should beraised with the relevant department — land reform.

EskomEskom and the municipality met to deal with elec-

trification issues in Umzimkhulu. The outcomes were

not favourable, Eskom reported that all projectswould be delayed since funding has not been finalisedby the Department of Energy.

Projects from Ward 6, 10 and 18 have been con-firmed as already Gazetted though the pre-engineer-ing would not start until the budget has been secured.It would be premature to announce them as projectsthat would be implemented. In respect to the impa-tience displayed by our communities with regard toelectricity, the government acknowledges the back-log, but eventually this will be reduced as efforts arebeing made to unlock electricity bottlenecks.

Arts and culture competitionThis weekend is the finale weekend for art and

culture groups who participated in their respectivezones, and the Umzimkhulu Municipality is hosting itstwo-day annual arts and culture competition atUmzimkhulu FET College hall on 20 and 21 Septemberand we wish participants the best of luck.

Further meetings of this nature will be held to em-power our communities. It is in line with our publicparticipation process, which emphasises the involve-ment and contribution of our people. For other activi-ties visit www.umzimkhululm.gov.za I thank you.

GREETINGS to the people of Kokstad.Electricity theft

Electricity theft isbecomingamajorconcern which we are faced with. Theelectricity department reports theftcases to us every day and we have amajor concern about that.

Inthatlightweissueaseriouswarn-ing to those who “enjoy” the illegalbenefits of electricity.

Someoneispayingfortheelectricityyou are stealing.

We have sent the electrical depart-mentout to investigateall thepossibili-ties of electrical theft and should theyfind that in your house, be sure of theserious consequences that will come

yourway. Suchconsequenceswill leadto the point where you will be forced,by law, to show us the person who didthe electric bridging for you. Othersanctionswill imposed on you, includ-ing an electricity cut. We also ask thecommunity to report the culprits to themunicipality and the police.

The municipality is trying, underdifficult circumstances, to providebasic services for thepeople, includingelectricity. Instead of using these serv-icescautiouslypeoplearestealingfrommunicipalities.

We have come under heavy criti-cismforcuttingelectricity to thosewhoare not paying for services, but I have

notheardasinglevoicefromthosewhocriticiseus, condemning thisbadhabitof stealing ratepayers’ money.

It is about timewestand togetherasthe community and fight electric theft.All those who are doing this shouldknow that besides stealing they arealso putting the lives of people indanger, which can cost them their life.

Themore you keep quiet about thisthemoreyouputyourlifeindangerandthat of your neighbour, your childrenand many other people.

Please assist the municipality byidentifying thesepeopleso that the lawcan play its role.

New kid on political blockmust have respectTHE Economic Freedom Freedom isunderstandably the new kid on thepolitical block, butmy advice to themis that they must learn to respect ourdemocratic processes. They mustwait for the next local governmentelections to see if they may be part ofour council.

If they voted in the previous elec-tion theymay forward their concernsto the relevantpeoplewhowill in turn

table them at council.It is a disgrace to read that some-

onesuggestedthat ifseniormanagersresign politicians must step down. Aresponsible citizen would seek forways to retain such services, but wemust also understand that becausewe are a small municipality we can’tmatch every offer one gets.

Our democratic ConstitutionSOUTH Africa’s successful strugglefor freedom and democracy is one ofthemost dramatic events of our time.The apartheid regime ended with anegotiated transition to a non-racialdemocracy.

South Africa’s Constitution is theresultofremarkabledetailsandinclu-

sive negotiations carried out with anacute awareness of the injustices ofthe country’s non-democratic past.

It is the highest lawof the landandno other law or government actioncan supersede it. Among the rightsstipulated in the Constitution arethose of equality, freedom of expres-

sion and association, political andproperty rights, housing, health care,education, access to information andaccess to courts.

Even though these rights are out-lined in theConstitutionnot everyonehasaccess to these especially those inrural areas.

Thegovernmenthasdonemuchtostrengthendemocracy,butwhether itis enough is debatable. Wemust alsobe realistic and realise thatnot every-thing can be done in 20 years.

NGO gives to rural school pupilsNTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

PUPILS in a rural school inFranklin, Tafelkop Primary, weredelighted to receive uniforms fromgood Samaritans in the form of theAids and TB Association of Kwa-Zulu-Natal (Atbak), a non-profitorganisation that assists peopleinfected and affected with TB andHIV/Aids.

Principal Nomanesi Phorie saidthe school, which is about six kilo-metres from the tar road, used to bea church. It was then turned into aschool by the owner of Tafelkopfarm.

He also built an additional class-room for farm workers’ children tostudy in.

Zanele Bodla, Atbak communityliaisonofficersaidtheyfirstdonatedmaize meal to the pupils.

She then saw that the pupils didnot have full school uniforms.

“When I saw the state of the uni-forms the children had I was nothappy and I decided to speak toZiphakamise, anNGO thatweworkvery closely with, and ask it todonate uniforms and shoes to thepupils,” she said.

Ziphakamise agreed to buy the32 pupils school shoes, uniformsand jerseys.

Bodla said pupils were taken toKokstad to buy the items to makesure they fitted properly.

Phorie said she was happy withwhat Atbak did for the children.

“We appreciate the love Atbakhas shown us and the pupils.

“May God bless them,” she said.Daphney Budaza, grandmother

of some of the pupils said she waslost for words because manyof her children did not have schoolshoes and they have to walk far toget to school, even when it israining.

“I can’t thank these people fromAtbak enough.

“They have done a great job forour children—weare really thank-ful.”

CEOof ZiphakamiseBishopLoloBodla and the provincial Atbakmanager Mike Lesar said theywould further donate a computerand a signboard to the school, re-spectively.

Lesar thanked all the teachersfor being faithful to teachingpupils in conditions that are notfavourable.

THE second-generation Kia Picantohasbeen turningheads sincemakingits global premiere at the 2011GenevaMotorShowandlocalmarketintroduction in 2011.

Three years later, the Picanto re-mains one of the most striking andcomprehensively equipped vehiclesin its segment.

In South Africa, the Picanto tooktop honours in the People's WheelsAwards for three years in a row(2011, 2012 and 2013), has won nu-merous 'Best Buy' awards from ma-jor publications, and was elected afinalist in the 2012WesBank/SAGMJCar of the Year competition.

While the two-model Picanto line-up remains unchanged, enhance-ments to the exterior endows it witha sportier face thanks to a revised'tiger nose' grille and a restyled frontbumper.

WITH more South Africans taking uproad or trail biking, the safe and correcttransportation of a bicycle is an impor-tant topic, believes Les Mc Master, chair-man of the Motor Industry WorkshopAssociation (MIWA).

“Cyclists or mountain bikers oftenride in groups and this could mean trans-porting one or more bicycles to a desig-nated meeting spot. While there are lotsof ways to transport bikes, it’s importantthat they are secure and safe before hit-ting the road, not only for safety but forother motorists too,” he says.

He says it’s important to be awareof the road rules and associated legal ob-ligations.

“Officials are well within their right topull you over if your vehicle doesn’t com-ply with road rules pertaining to trans-porting a bike. For example, your lightsand number plate can’t be obscured bybikes — all of your lights need tobe clearly visible and your number platereadable. Strictly they must be able tobe seen from various directions, not justdirectly from the back.”

He adds that your view must not ob-scured in any way, including lookingthrough the rear-view mirror out of theback of the vehicle.

“Logically, but also legally, you can’thave an ‘unsafe load’ — that is overloadthe car, or fail to secure the bikes so thatthey could come loose, fall off or desta-bilise the car.

“You also can’t load bikes onto thevehicle so they stick out, which couldcause an accident involving vehicles,property or pedestrians.”

You also cannot exceed the maxi-mum weight-bearing load for bike-carry-ing equipment, roof bars, tow bars, top or

rear racks, and the load for your type ofvehicle as specified by the manufactur-ers. This load value should be in yourvehicle manual. The safe roof carryingweight is nearly always specified, as is thetow bar load weight (known as the noseweight rating).

“When considering what type of carri-er to use, make sure the carrier makessense with your vehicle. It should be quickand easy to set up and not interfere withyour vehicle’s functionality (or damagethe paint work) in any way.

“For example, unless you have a largeboot, the likelihood of fitting a bicycle inthe boot is minimal and there’s a goodchance you’ll damage the paint work orboot or bicycle trying to get it in. Ratheropt for a roof rack or tow-bar mounting.”

Mc Master says it’s important to checkand tighten fixtures, straps, etc, of thecarrier regularly during your journey, espe-cially before you set off.

“It’s wise to check the manufacturer’sinstructions and follow them in terms offitting, position, tightness, and controls.”

“With the weather warming up it is agreat time to load up the bikes and headout for a morning on a trail or to meetwith friends for a road ride.

“So take the time to secure the bikesproperly and know that you are takingyour safety and that of other road usersseriously.” — Supplied

Transporting bikes safely

THE PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW haveseen commercial success with146 000 units ordered by the end of

August.Following this excellent performance,

the 308 range welcomes two dynamicnew versions and on both Hatchbackand SW body styles.

Behind the wheel of these new ver-sions, whether the GT 205 or GT 180fitted with the 1.6-litre THP 205 Stop&Start six-speed manual and the 2.0-litre BlueHDi 180 EAT6 engines respec-tively, drivers will appreciate the remark-able performance of these vehicles.

The 308 GT’s front end now housesthe lion in the grille with three horizontalblades on either side of the emblemand LED lighting used throughout.

From behind, the 308 GT is striking forits posture as the GT signature is inte-grated in the grill, the tailgate and thefront wheel panels.

The range of colours for the 308 GTinclude the new Magnetic Blue.

To deliver maximum enjoyment, theGT makes the most of a chassis withspecific settings and high performance

engines. Engineers used all of thebrand’s expertise to achieve a remark-able power to weight ratio of just5.85kg/hp for the petrol 308 GT.

Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h,takes the petrol 308 GT just 7,5 seconds.

The four-cylinder 1.6-litre THP 205Stop&Start engine is specified with a six-speed manual gearbox to make themost of its 285Nm of torque, availablebetween 1 750 and 4 500rpm.

This diesel engine is coupled to anEAT6 automatic gearbox. It uses Quick-shift technology for fast gear changes,as well as the ability to down-shift auto-matically to the speed required ratherthan in sequential order.

Furthermore, its efficiency is almostthe same as for a manual gearbox dueto reduced internal friction and the use oftorque converters applied wheneverneeded to avoid transmission slip.

Performance of this level demandsan effective braking system and this isprovided by a Bosch 9CE central unit dis-tributing the braking effort between thefour discs. At the front, the 330mmdiameter and 30mm thick discs aregripped by floating calipers with 60mmpistons. At the rear, the discs are 268mmdiameter on 308 GT and 290 mm on308 GT SW.

Both engines types have switchableESP as standard.
