Residents threaten tobring GKM to its knees

KHAYA MAGENU>>khaya.magenu@feveronline.co.za

KOKSTADConcernedResidents(KCR)membershavevowedtogive the Greater Kokstad

Municipality back to its rightfulowners.

This comes after they initiated acampaign called “bring back GKM toits rightful position”.

KCR spokesperson LuvuyoNongimbasaidtheyhavealreadydis-cussed this with the local businesschamber, taxi drivers, communitiesand various stakeholders to helpthem in their campaign.

“Our town is collapsing as is theinfrastructure. It is rife with corrup-tion, there is maladministration,service delivery is at a standstill andall isnotwellwithinourmunicipality”

said Nongimba.Hesaidtherearenoleadersrepre-

senting the interests of the Kokstadcommunity.

“We are in a serious campaign tomake sure that politicians within themunicipality do not finish their term,which endsnext year.Wearealso go-ingtomakesurethatthispoliticalclubof losers, whose interest is to makesure they loot the Greater Kokstad

Municipality, are out of the munici-pality. It is unfortunate that the MECfor Co-operative Governance andTraditional Affairs Nomusa DubeNcube is also part of this politicaldrama taking place in Kokstad.”

He asked the Kokstad communityto standupand rally behind their callas they will make sure Kokstad be-comes ungovernable.

Nongimba said they are sick and

tired of sitting with their arms foldedwhile their town ison thebrinkof col-lapse.

KCR said this after residents emp-tiedbucketsof faecesinthemunicipaloffices.

In another incident at the end oflast year Economic Freedom Fight-ersmembers heldmunicipalmanag-er ZamoMkhize hostage in his office,demanding answers to the memo-randumtheysubmittedtothemunici-pality.

Harry Gwala District MunicipalExecutive Mayor and ANC RegionalChairpersonMlulekiNdobe said theyare not shaken by this despite at-temptsofanarchy,sayingthatcertainoppositionpartysectorsareresortingto all sorts of baseless allegations totry to win the minds of the people.

“AsAmilcaCabral said, ‘tell no liesand claim no easy victories’,” saidNdobe.

GKMspeakerZolaniMhlongosaidKCR statements are laughable andmust be ignoredby the community ofKokstad because it is an electioneer-ingcampaign tosteal themindsof thepeople.

“The municipality will not bedestabilised by baseless allegationsby those who are trying to run themunicipality without a popularmandate,” said Mhlongo.

The KZN Democratic AllianceDeputy Leader and ProvincialSpokesperson for Finance and Agri-culture, Francois Rodgers, said theremaywellbeanairofpoliticking in thecommunity unrest, the question issimply, would this be the case ifKokstad had uninterrupted watersupplies in the entire community, awell-run and efficient sewage systemand a town that had roads that didn’trequire four-wheel drive vehicles.

“It is after all the community thatpays ratesandservicesand thereforetheyarelegitimatelyentitledtoexpectan acceptable level of service deliv-ery,” said Rodgers.

Patients go hungry>> Hospital is not new to controversy

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

EG and Usher MemorialHospital patients were onceagain casualties in what ap-

pears to be an on-going food crisisamid internal tension in the hospital.

In an embarrass-ing incident for thehospital, it isreportedthat patients wenthungry last Saturday.

Accordingtoareli-able source hospitalmatrons were calledaway from a funeralof an employee and were told thatpatientswerehungryas therewasnofood for them.

Matrons reportedly rushed to at-tendto thecrisis,using theirpersonalcredit cards to buy food.

This hospital is not new to

controversy.In October 2013 a food crisis at

the hospital prompted the inter-vention of KZN Health MEC Sibongi-seni Dhlomo after the hospital waswithout sugar, vegetables, meat andmilk for weeks.

At the time the companywho sup-

plied food was said to be deliveringexpired, rotten food.

Anotherreliablesourceattributedthe lack of food on that particularSaturday to tensionwithin the hospi-tal that led to the resignation of thehospital’s system manager.

“There are a lot of issues at playthat caused patients to go hungry atthe hospital. People in top positionsdo not see eye to eye, some nurses donot want to take responsibility and itaffects patients,” she said.

The hospital PRO, Andile Pani, re-ferred questions sent to him to theprovincial health department. Whencontacted the PRO for KZN HealthMEC Desmond Motha said all hospi-

tals have gotmechanisms forbuying food.

“The only thingthat hospitals don’tbuy for themselvesis medication asthey are centrallycontrolled and sup-

plied.”Motha said there are systems in

place for the daily running of a hospi-tal.

“Every hospital has a budget andthere is a systems manager who hasto see that suppliers are paid.”

THE Harry Gwala region’s pro-posal to rename the newmunicipality tobe formed from

the merger of Kwa Sani and IngweLocal municipalities after the 2016local government elections, has cre-atedapoliticaldebateamong parties.

Themunicipaldemarcationboardreported that the KwaSani and Ingwemunicipali-ties are to

become one and the Harry GwalaRegion proposed to rename themergedmunicipality after Dr Nkosa-zana Dlamini Zuma.

Dlamini Zuma is thechairperson of African

Union and comesfrom HarryGwala.

KwaZulu-Natal Demo-cratic Alli-ance deputyleaderFrancoisRodgerssaidthatthecurrentlyfailed ANCservice de-livery dic-

tates other-wise.“It is ironic to

note that since1994 the ANC inKwa Sani hasshown a steady

decline in

votes. The DA on the other hand hasshown all the growth and the 2016municipal election may well see achange in political control of KwaSa-ni, so what better way than to com-bine an ANC stronghold such asIngwe with Kwa Sani.

“Onlytimewilltellwhetherthisde-marcationchangewaspoliticallymo-tivated and I suppose it is a bit likeplaying a game of soccer and whenyou notice you can’t beat your oppo-nent, you just change the rules of thegame to your advantage,” saidRodgers.

Harry Gwala Regional ANC chair-personsaid it is interestinganda jokethat the Democratic Alliance thinksthe demarcation board has resolvedto amalgamate the Kwa Sani andIngweLocalmunicipalitiestopreventthe DA from winning the Kwa SaniLocal Municipality.

“Perhaps, as the ANC is not only aleader of government but also a lead-er of the society, we might need toeducate our colleagues from the op-position,” said Ndobe

Rodgers said to alter municipalboundaries to create more effective

service delivery should be the solemotivation for changes effectingIngwe and Kwa Sani municipalities.

Ndobe said any change of eitherouter or internal boundaries of mu-nicipalities isnotapoliticalprocessofthe ANC, but the demarcation boardis empowered by the DemarcationAct to review the boundaries everyfive years, and the outer boundariesthat affectmunicipal boundaries andinner boundaries and that is knownas the delimitation process.

“Right now the ANC is enjoyingmore than 76% of the support of theelectorate in Kwa Sani. Why thenshouldweworryaboutMickeyMouseorganisations. If we were able to dothat, why haven’t we merged theWestern Cape with either NorthernCapeorEasternCape?AstheANCwewill never attempt to take over areasbyhookorcrook.Weareatrulydemo-cratic movement that believes in thewill of the people,” said Ndobe.

The InkathaFreedomParty issuesa statement last year saying that it isagainst the proposal of the two mu-nicipalitiesbeingnamedafterNkosa-zana Dlamini Zuma.

“The IFP in KwaZulu-Natal saidthat the ruling party is giving promi-nence to ANC-affiliated politiciansabove other players involved in thestruggle for liberation.We see the re-naming process as a deliberate at-tempt to rewrite the history of thisprovince and country,” said the IFP.

If thewomanisbetween13and20weeks pregnant she can get anabortion if her physical or mentalhealth is at stake, if severementalor physical abnormalities arepredicated for the baby, if she ispregnant because of incest, if sheis pregnant because of rape or ifher economic or social situation isin jeopardy.

Ipas, an internationalNGO try-ing to prevent unsafe abortions,hasvoicedconcernover increasesinthenumberofwomenoptingforabortion, saying it showed thatSouth Africa’s health authoritiesare failing young women.

Professor Eddie Mhlanga,head of obstetrics and gynaecolo-gy at Nelson R Mandela School ofMedicineat theUniversityofKwa-Zulu-Natal, and an Ipas boardmember, warned at a press con-ference last Thursday that whilethere was much to celebrate, theincreases were worrying.

Although abortion is taboo insomeareas, especially in rural ar-eas like Harry Gwala District,manywomenareusing theoptiondue to a number of reasons.

Despite progressive laws thatensure the right to terminate apregnancy, some experts say thehealthdepartment isdoing little toensurethatallwomenhaveaccessto adequate support. They say it’sforcing women to risk dangerousillegal (back-street) abortions forfear of judgment and abuse.

Murderer gets 40 years

FEVER REPORTER

THENationalProsecutingAuthoritywelcomedthe sentencing of Thembelani Hlongwane (33)in the Kokstad Regional Court for murder onWednesday.

Hlongwane has beenfound guilty of two counts ofmurder and sentenced to 40years’ imprisonment.

NPA Spokesperson Nata-sha Kara said they welcomethe sentence.

“This sentence is indica-tive of the NPA’s stance to-wards serious and violentcrimes.Wehopethiswill sendout a strong warning to like-minded individuals that suchsenselessactsof violencewill notbe tolerated,”said Kara.

Hlongwane committed the first murder on1 August, 2013 at his house after VumileMkhonde went to look for his girlfriend.

HlongwanedidnotwantMkhondetoseehisgirlfriend and as a result a fight broke out be-tweenthetwoandHlongwaneproducedaknife

and stabbed Mkhonde.TheFever understands thatMkhondeapol-

ogisedtoHlongwanebuthecontinuedstabbinghim until he died. The case was withdrawn inApril 2014 because witnesses did not want to

give evidence in court on 27July, 2014.

The accused went back toShayamoya Township andwas involved in another fight,this time with Samkelo Nt-shamba and Hlongwanestabbed him to death.

Hlongwane then went toMatatiele where the policefound him and took him intocustody.

This time witnesses for thefirst murder gave evidence

when he appeared in court, but Hlongwanepleadednot guilty tobothcounts saying thathewas defending himself against the two deadpeopleasheisdisabledandcouldnotrunaway.

He was found guilty on both charges andsentenced to20years’ for eachcount.Thecasewas investigated by Constable Mncedisi EricDzanibe from the Kokstad Detectives Unit.

This sentence isindicative of

the NPA’s stancetowards serious andviolent crimes. We

hope this will send outa strong warning.

GREETINGS to the people of Kokstad.Shayamoya Eco-Park progressThe Greater Kokstad Municipality is

happy to see progress at the ShayamoyaEco­Park project on the road to Franklin.This project change the environment faceof Kokstad and will attract tourists. Therewill be many activities that will define Kok­stad in terms of service delivery. Driving

there you see that frames are coming upto show that the project is progressing.Members of the provincial legislature wereimpressed with this project and obviouslythe community will benefit in a great dealfrom it. The municipality will also gain interms of visitor numbers. We thank thecontractor for making sure that the projectis progressing well.

Complaints about the state of ser-vice delivery service

It is important for people to acknowl­edge that the municipality has deliveredservice to the people despite some fewshortfalls. It is incorrectforsometosaythatthe municipality has done nothing in termsof service delivery. People must not be mis­led by those who are trying to discredit themunicipality for their own gain.

While the state of our roads is not per­fect, we have rehabilitated some of theroads like Groom, Brownlee, Horse Shoeand the Shayamoya taxi routes. We haverenovated the town hall, upgraded MainStreet, the Kokstad Light Industrial Park,Shayamoya Eco­Park and the FranklinHousing Project. We are in the process ofappointing service providers to continuewith road rehabilitations. We are close tohaving 100% electricity. We are on theprocess of electrifying Nohoek and NewMarket. All those things come through thework of this municipality. Despite all the in­accurate rumours about the municipality,our people must be assured we have theirinterest in heart. If it wasn’t for money con­straints, we would have done more.

Inkosi inibusise.

‘They should disrupt it because theyhave asked this question before anddidn't get answers. I feel they areasking validquestions andthey deserveanswers asdo allSouth Afri­cans. Payback themoney.’

‘I say that if Zuma benefited undulyhe must pay it back. I am

a teacher and I alwaysteach children that

they must take re­sponsibility. TheEFF must have a

way of addressingthings though, they

must learn to ex­press them­

selvesbetter.’

‘I don't think its a wise move todisrupt the SONA because many willbe watching, wanting to hear what

the president has to say.The EFF must wait for

the time allocatedfor questions to thepresident. Most ofus agree with thequestions they ask,but the manner in

which they are do­ing things is dis­

turbing.’

‘Disrupting the State of the NationAddress is uncalled for and needs tobe condemned. The president hasalready scheduled the date forquestions to be posed to him andthat should be respected. Peoplemust be patient instead of trying toembarrass the country in the pres­ence of dignitarieswho are invitedto the SONA.’

“We also need to look at Safa’s Vision 2022.When we started, the first phase was to builda team, which I think we havemanaged to do.

“The secondphasewas to qualify forAfcon,which we also managed to do — by defeatingSudan, CongoanddenyingAfrican championsNigeria a chance to participate in the tourna-ment.”

The ease with which South Africa qualifiedraised the hopes of the nation and Mashabasaid expectationswerehighwhen the teamsetoff forAfcon.“IunderstandwhySouthAfricansaredisappointed.Wearealsodisappointedbutwe are not discouraged becausewe played thetop countries on the continentwith awealth ofexperience.

“We still competed and I believe if we hadused all our scoring chances, wewould still bein the tournament.”

He saidBafanaBafa-nahadmade theirpres-ence felt at the tourna-ment. “If you listen tothe Caf officials and ev-erybody around here,they are raving aboutthe team, a good andyoung team. If you lookattheaverageageofthisteam,wehavealonglifespan.

“The players haveestablished themselves

and I will not be surprised if one or two get anoverseas offer. If you look at the stats, wewerethe fastest and quickest attacking team, but ofcourse there are some areas that we need towork on.”

He admitted there were one or two playerswho under-performed in Equatorial Guineabut had no regrets about his chosen squad.
