MAYOR Danny Jordaan is expect-ed to hit back at his detractorstoday as he delivers his own re-view on his 100 days in office.

Jordaan was mum last week as oppositionparties delivered punches on his leadership dur-ing his first 100 days as Nelson Mandela Baymayor.

Jordaan’sChiefofStaff,MlungisiNcame,saidtoday (Wednesday, September 9) Jordaan wouldfinally respond to his critics namely DA mayor-al candidate Athol Trollip, who said Jordaan’stime in office was filled with broken promises.

Trollip held a press conference last week Fri-day to review Jordaan’s key performance indi-cators on his first 100 days as Mayor.

Trollip in his review of Jordaan’s first 100dayssaidthesuspensionsofhighprofilemunici-pal officials were just window dressing by the

mayor.The DA together with the UDM said the inves-

tigations which have led to suspensions of highprofile municipal officials have not impressedthem as the suspensions are in suspension.

Trollip said its was shocking that metro bossMpilo Mbambisa, who has 17 charges laidagainst him by the municipality, has been ableto negotiate a settlement for his exit.

THERE’S a condition that doesn’t discrimi-nate against race, faith, politics, status or des-ignation, nor does it hint towards the exis-tence of a cure. It seems there’s only one thingit firmly stands by – the fact that it is 100%preventable.

Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)canbe the lifelong, incurableburdenofachildborn from any mother as a result of the use– not necessarily abuse – of alcohol duringpregnancy.To raise awareness about FASD and foetal

alcohol syndrome (FAS), the most severe ofthese disorders, September 9was declared In-ternational FASD day in 1999 and has sincebeen commemorated around the globe.“There are still manymyths around FASD.

Some people still believe, for instance, that awoman must be an alcoholic to give birth to

achildwithFASD.The truth is, however, thatno amount of alcohol is safe during pregnan-cy,” saidFARRchief executiveLeanaOlivier.FAS is amental disability – themost severe

of the foetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Inthis case the damage to the unborn child ispermanent and cannot be reversed, Olivierexplained.“A child with FAS can suffer from various

defects, apart from intellectual deficits. Apartfrom damage to the eyes, ears and heart, thismayalso includebraindamage,whichresultsin lifelong problems suchas learning disabili-ties, interpersonal relationship problems, de-velopmental disabilities such as fine motordevelopment, coordination, arithmetic andcause and effect reasoning. In addition, mostof these children have attention and hyperac-tivity problems,” she said.FARR has completed nine studies in four

provincesrecording thehighest reportedFASrates in the world.

In some areas the FAS prevalence rate is ashigh as 18%. The Department of Health esti-mates the average FAS prevalence in SouthAfrica at 6%.“Comparedwith thenexthighest rate in the

world, namely 1% in the USA, this rate isalarmingly high. An estimated 3 millionSouthAfrican children are bornwith FAS ev-ery year,” said FARR founder Prof. Denis Vil-joen.Currently FARR runs research, awareness

and prevention projects in the West Coast,Wolseley, Port Elizabeth, De Aar, Upingtonand the Renosterberg area. As part of theseprojects community members, health profes-sionals, social workers and educators aretrained to raise awareness about and assist inthepreventionofFASDin their communities.“A child born with FAS has an intellectual

disability, learning and psycho-social chal-lenges for the rest of its life. This epidemic is100% preventable,” said Viljoen.

Foetal Alcohol SpectrumDisorder Day takes sobering look at destructive facts

)In 2012, the Eastern Cape Liquor Board(ECLB) approached the Foundation for AlcoholRelated Research (FARR), with a request toundertake a Foetal Alcohol SpectrumDisorder(FASD) Prevalence Study in Bethelsdorp,north of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape.The study would be the first of its kind in theprovince.

)The first phase of the study was under-taken late in 2013, and involvedMedical Exam-inations of children at 14 primary schools inBethelsdorp and Helenvale - this phase wascompleted in May this year. The next phaseis focused on Awareness and Prevention out-lined in the Healthy Mother Healthy Baby(HMHB) Programme. This phase will belaunched today, which is also InternationalFASD Awareness day.

)Healthy Mother Healthy Baby is aimed atreducing the incidence of FASD by supportinghealthier pregnancies, and in turn healthierFASD-free infants.

Trollip announced during his press con-ference last week that an additional 19charges are currently being prepared bythe metro against Mbambisa.“It’s quite unprecedented that amunici-

pality would present a document with 17charges against a municipal manager toall the political parties including the DAbefore a (council) meeting and then as themeeting is about to start, to ask for thedocument with the charges to be givenback only to inform the council that depu-ty mayor Bicks Ndoni has been asked tonegotiate a settlement with a person whominutes before had been charged. I hearthat there are another 19 charges that arealso being prepared against Mbambisa,”said Trollip.Trollip said the DA does not believe that

Jordaan is doing anything to eradicatecorruption as Jordaan has been seen inthe company of allegedly suspended com-munications boss Roland Williams.“Apparently Williams has been sus-

pended again but there is no confirmationof that. The only thing we do know is thathe was seen laughing and in very jovialcompany with the mayor in the last week-end which doesn’t speak to the fact thathe has been suspended for very seriousmisdemeanours,” added Trollip.Trollip said, “Instead of rooting out cor-

ruption, Jordaan has protected and be-friended Williams who unlawfully andimproperly dished out tenders, bungledcontracts and took paid trips to otherprovinces with municipal tender bidders.“Instead of cutting costs on non-core ex-

penditure, Jordaan decided to cut ‘specialskills allowances’ to critical officials inthe electricity and water directorates,causing a wildcat strike and power outa-ges in vast areas of the North, and watercut offs for over a week,” he added.To date three directors have been sus-

pended, namely Lindile Petuna, ModNdoyana, and RolandWilliams. IPTS bossMhleli Tshamase resigned after being sus-pended, and municipal managers NadiaGerwel, Isaac Nokele, Carle Ritter Eras-mus and Basil de Lange have also beensuspended.UDM local leader Mongameli Bobani

said the suspensions without any otheraction would bring chaos to the metro.“You find that all these people are ANCdeployees andwe have warned that bring-ing political deployees to fill municipalroles is disastrous and this is being prov-en.“There is a dark cloudhanging over Jor-

daanwith the FIFA scandal and themetrois going for a disclaimer not even for aqualified audit. Things are worse than ev-er, to appoint a new municipal managersix months before the elections. Wheredoes that put us?We are indeed going intoa black day in the metro with Jordaan asits leader,” said Bobani.“No municipal managers have complet-

ed their term of office since we became ametro. What that means is that the peopleof the metro have to pay for incompetentadministrators who cannot finish theirjob and not one of them has been calledto account.“Andwhat’s more we are paying double

because when you give someone a goldenhandshake and replace them with anoth-er you are paying the person coming inand the person going out,” ended Trollip.Ncame said Trollip’s review was so de-

void of substance that it was not worth re-sponding to. “The scandals he is talkingabout only exist in his head.“For instance,we all know that theMay-

or has spent every day attending to his of-ficial duties in the Metro but Trollip stillperpetuates the tired myth that he is apart time Mayor. We will give a detailedaccount of the Executive Mayor’s first 100days on Wednesday (today),” said Ncame.

THE DA is jumping the gun and prematurelypredicting council decisions, said Danny Jor-daan’s chief of staff, Mlungisi Ncame.

Ncamewasreferring to theDA’swarning thatthey would fight tooth and nail to prevent themetro’s mass sale of the buses of the controver-sial public transport system (IPTS).Aproposal to sell theunusedbusesof the IPTS

to other metros was skipped during a councilmeeting last week, but still led to fiery debate.Ncame said the Municipality was looking at

three different options which would be investi-gated by the roads and public works standingcommittee.

These options include:• Retain the IPTS in its current form;• Drop the project all together;•Modify the project with reduced cost.“All these optionswill be investigated and the

standing committeewill be seeking advice fromother metros who have succeeded with theirpublic transport programmes and then, a reportwill be tabled in council,” said Ncame.Ncame said he found it strange that the DA

would challenge its own decisions in council.“The DA is part of council and this decision

will be takenby council. I find it strange that theDA would challenge its own decisions,” saidNcame.

During a council meeting on August 24, DAcouncillor Retief Odendaal said the proposal (tosell the buses) was totally unacceptable. “Wepromisedareliablebusservice to themetro,andif we sell the buses we have spent R2,5 billion invain. It would be sad to have to sell the buses be-cause we cannot find solutions ourselves,” saidOdendaal.He said the DA would oppose the proposal.“The ANC needs only one voting process in

council to get rid of the system and buses, buttheDAwillput forwardamotionto integrate theIPTS service and the metro’s taxi services. Themotion will put taxi owners in charge of licens-ing of vehicles rather than drivers,” Odendaaladded.In contrast, the local ratepayers association is

in favour of the buses being sold to recoup asmuchmoney as possible and start from scratchwith a public transport system.KobusGerber fromtheratepayersassociation

said he didn’t think selling the buses would bea bad idea.“There is no other alternative since this sys-

tem will never work in the Bay,” he said.Lastmonth, in his capacity as vice chairmain

ofAfriForum,hedemandednearlyR6million inIPTS expenses be paid back by the municipalmanager, Mpilo Mbambisa.“It could be the best option: to get backmoney

from the contractors, sell the buses and repairthe roads.Then themetro canstart fromscratchand come up with a new plan,” said Gerber.

THERE has been much reaction to a recentIndaba report about a 13-year-old girlchained against her will in St John’sChurch inNU5Motherwell in order to “saveher from demons”.

The girl, who was reportedly sent by hermother to the church, was saved by the po-lice from the ordeal.Indaba also heard howLundi Jela had fled

from the church earlier after hewas alleged-ly chained to a wrecked bakkie next to thechurch, also in an attempt to cast out de-mons.The church leaderwas reportedly in Leso-

tho during this incident. Police have openeda case of kidnapping for investigation.“This is a common trend here. Demon-

possessed people are chained during theprocess of exorcism,” said a Motherwellwoman, who did not want her name men-tioned.“Demon-possessed people can be very

dangerous. Remember, many of the peopleattending this church are women,” said thewoman.“My grandson used to show demonic be-

haviour until I took him to the church to becleansed. He is a sweet child now,” the wom-an said, adding that people went to thechurch of their own volition.When Indaba visited the church again

last week, the church leader was still notpresent. We left contact details and askedhim to respond to our questions. He has notdone so.Other congregants told Indaba that the

church is visited onWednesdays and Thurs-days by many people who want intsebenzo(cleansing), while church services are heldevery day.“Some people stay here, while others

come only on the days of intsebenzo,” onewoman said.

) Following the recent widespread newsof a Gauteng pastor who allegedly forcedcongregants to eat snakes, and another tell-ing his congregation to eat grass, the SouthAfrica Council of Churches has called forthe protection of human rights of people at-tending churches against incidents such asthat of Pastor PenuelMnguni who allegedlyjumps on congregants and makes them eatsnakes.

) An independent church leader, Mbuze-ni Makanda, said mainline churches couldnot be expected to understand and giveblessing to what the pentecostal churcheswere doing. He said even though they wereall Christians, their ways of operation weredifferent.“We cast out demons and will use any-

thing at our disposal to do it to glorify Godbecause the world and everything in it be-longs to God,” he said.

) Bishop Sandile Jika of the Interdenom-inational Africa Ministers Association ofSouthern Africa said “We are really livingin the end times. The Bible speaks aboutfalse prophets. Jesus Christ is coming. Thisis why we see people acting as though theywere like Christ himself. We do not believepeople should be subjected to these liesaimed at honouring men and not our LordJesus Christ,” said Jika.

THEEasternCape leadership of the SouthAfri-can Social Security Services Agency (Sassa),which turns 10 next year, said they were satis-fied with the work they had done so far.

Sassawascreatedby thegovernment tobringsocial relief through grants such as those forchild support, older persons, disability, care de-pendency, foster care and grant-in-aid, amongothers, tomillionsof deservingpeople livingbe-low the poverty line, most of which are chil-dren.Speaking at a media briefing about the role

Sassa was playing in helping the poor and vul-nerable, Sassa spokesperson Kgomoco Disekosaid they had managed to decrease the turn-around time in the provision of Sassa cards todeserving beneficiaries to two-and-a-half days .“More than16millionSouthAfricans receive

social grants,” he said.Themajorityof thesewerechildren,but there

were many more elderly people who were not

eligible forgrantsbutwere livingontheSocialRelief of Distress Fund.Diseko said it was misinformation by some

people, especially politicians, that this grantwas issued to the poor and vulnerable aheadof elections.This included the perception that social

grants created a dependency syndrome. Hesaid people needed to go to the pay-points tosee the difference the grants were making.There were, however, unscrupulous indi-

viduals and syndicates who were hell-bent ondefrauding the system, saidMarkRasmussen,General Manager: Grant Administration.“They give out loans and insurance policies

to people with Sassa cards and pretend theyare for Sassa. We do not offer any policies topeople. We can’t offer loans to people either.It is not our mandate,” he said.“Peoplemust be careful of buying things on-

line as they arenot affordable and they shouldnot take loans as this could create a viciouscycle that theywould find difficult to quit,” hesaid.

An overjoyed station manager Pastor Ron-nie Johnson said, “The latest RAMS releasedon August 26 shows that PEFM listenerssoared to a whopping 38 000 over a seven-dayperiod.”

According to Pastor Ronnie, as Johnson isaffectionately known, about this time lastyear their listenership stood at a mere 9 000.

The success, he explained, was due to thefact that they (at PEFM) had the communityat heart.

“We strive to serve our listeners with thebest ofChristian content andmusic,” saidPas-tor Ronnie, adding that he wanted to thankevery presenter of the station who tirelesslyoffered his or her time to serve the city andlive stream audience across theworld - to givePEFM 400% growth in more than one year.

Some of the station’s listeners have alsocommented on social media to acknowledgethis recent success.

“PEFM 87.6 is an awesome space for Chris-

tians in the city - and the nation and theworldthrough live streaming - to connect and giveexpression to God’s love (for) the world, whileempowering and equipping one another forworks of service, joining in prayer, and en-forcing local and global vision...” said AlainWalljee on Facebook.

“Our mandate is to honour God,” said Pas-tor Ronnie, adding that nothing of this sortwould ever have been possible if God was not“our focus and source of blessings.”

WEEKEND after weekend, tired after a hec-tic week, those 18 and up head to the danceclubs of Port Elizabeth for a “night out”.

It is here, in the night life, where DarrylLoxton (22) better knownas “DJDarryl”, hasmade a name for himself. Born and bred inthe Northern Areas of PE, Loxton alwaysknew that music was his calling.

“My family is a very music-orientated oneand from a young age I was the one theycalled on to connect the sound equipmentand select songs to play.”

It is here, among his family, where Loxtonfirst became known as a DJ. The young discjockey thenwent on toplay for bigger crowdsand started playing in under-18 clubs, beforehe left for the UAE (United Arab Emirates),at the age of 17.

While in the UAE, he continued to culti-vate hismusic abilities and stayed in contactwith long term friend,VaughnCunningham.

Upon his return to South Africa in 2013,Cunningham and Loxton put plans into mo-tion to launch their very own recording com-pany, Darkmello Recordings.

With Cunningham overseeing the booksand Loxton overseeing the decks, the musicduo have been able to work well together forthe last two years, as each has contributedhis strength to enhance their brand. Togeth-er, they have been able to produce and dis-tribute music at its different levels to its dif-ferent audiences.

Loxton, who is studying a Compositionand Music Production course, feels that theworking relationship and long-time friend-ship he and Cunningham share, is a recipefor success in their industry.

Loxton has also been in various local andnational DJ competitions, and says that oneof the highlights of his career is having hismusic selected by a recording company inMiami, USA, for production.

“I have been invited to play in Cape Townclubs on many occasions, but receiving in-ternational recognition for my music hasbeen one of the biggest highlights of my ca-reer,” said the enthusiastic DJ.

To make his sound unique, Loxton incor-porates the piano into a lot of his music. “Iwas never taught to play; I learned by ear,and the chords on the piano contribute ahigher level of musicality to my tracks.”

Although producing music lies close toLoxton’s heart, he feels that playing his mu-sic is just as important, as it is the perfectway for him to do market research. The in-stantaneous response from the crowd iswhat Loxton deemsmost rewarding and em-phasises that this iswhat he strives formost-to keep any crowd entertained.

“When I play the music I have producedto a crowd, I have the advantage over the oth-er DJs, because I have a track that none ofthem have and that sets me apart,” he said.

The music he produces, which often in-cludes the vocal talents of local artists, hasalso allowed him to provide guidance to oth-ers who want to “make it” in the music in-dustry. ThemusicLoxtonproduces iswidelyavailable on the internet and also receivesa lot of air play on local radio stations.

However, Loxton does not see himselfslowing down his music career yet. Whenasked about the future of hismusic ventures,he said that forhim themost important thingwas expanding his brand.

“My music is my brand and I don’t justwant to make an impression on a crowd forone night. I want tomake an impression thatwill last.”

VERAQweshahashada life that couldbe portrayed in a blockbuster movie.

In fact, the Kwazakhele-born Vera,(40) who grew up in Tsomo, Transkei,is the subject of a documentary pro-duced by SABC television.

This daughter of a singlemother anddomesticworker, obtainedabachelor’sdegree in politics from the Universityof PortElizabeth (now theNelsonMan-dela Metropolitan University).

But her life took a turn for theworsewhen she was lured by friends to leavehome and start a fake life of prostitu-tion, which led to drug addiction thatcould have taken her life in a foreignland.

She said she managed, through thegraceofGod,toregaincontrolofherlifeand decided to write a book,My Jour-ney, From Grass to Grace, to warnyoung minds to carry their family va-lues through life, and not to rush forstardomandmoney - selling their soulsin the process.

As a motivational speaker with theDepartmentofSocialDevelopment,Ve-ra is travelling all over SouthAfrica tospread her positive message to theyouth seeking fame and fortune.

Based in Durban these days, she vi-sited Port Elizabeth last week.

“I grew up in the Transkei with mysiblings while my mother was in thecity - Port Elizabeth,” Vera said.

As children they had always wantedto see the city lights as they heard peo-ple portraying townships as heavenly.

“But when our mother gave us achance to come to PE, I was dismayedby the poverty I saw. She was living ina shack in Kwazakhele where therewas no water, proper sanitation orlights. Being the firstborn, I knew Ihadtobeeducatedinordertochangethingsaround in the family,” she said.

InPortElizabeth,Verametanddateda young man from a wealthy family.She said the man had abused her andused to beat her just for greeting anoth-er man. He once beat her so badly thatshe was in a wheelchair for threemonths.

“I had to leave him. We had a childtogether and were about to be marriedwhen I broke the engagement,” Verasaid, adding that themanhadnotwant-ed to be responsible for their child.

This was when Vera found a job as

a makeup artist. Her lifestyle changedwhen her Johannesburg friends intro-duced her to a “discreet escort busi-ness” where her naked photo was puton the internet.

She had a fake name, “Flame andBrazilian Coloured Nationality”, aswell as a second cellphone number sothat nobodywho knewherwould actu-ally recognise her.

She lied to her mother and claimedshe had found a better job in Johannes-burg.

Vera was offered a job to do a pornmovie in Russia, which she refusedeven though she was to be paid inAmerican dollars.

She also refused a contract to workinLondon - thinkingofwhat thiswoulddo to her now teenage child and herfamily.

This job, which was difficult for hertodowhilesober-minded, ledhertotak-ing drugs.

“Drugs - cocaine, heroine, rock, tik -are so expensive. I would spend up toR3 000 a day on drugs and liquor. Theyaffectedmybody badly. I needed help.”

Vera says she is thankful to the lead-er and founder of Jesus’ Dominion In-ternationalChurch,ProphetTimOmo-toso, who helped her find Jesus, for-giveness and the reason to live aproductive life.

be revived in Motherwell. All in all the youthwill be motivated to play for the club and re-gard it as their home”.Windvoel said they were appealing to

former rugbyplayers to comeonboard.Wind-
