THE 30 year-old mother of an eightyear old girl, whose brutal rapeand the conviction of her rapistmade news headlines earlier thisyear, is now fighting another bat-

tle.

Her rapist Xolile Tose (33) is serving a lifesentence behind bars for the horrible crimeshe committed on the minor who was forced towear a colostomy bag owing to her injuries.

Since her story was published the familyhas received help from various good samari-tans, but life is still not rosy for the girl andher family.

Her unemployed mother’s dream of movingfrom the shack she rented with her three chil-dren in Motherwell to a four-roomed housewas fulfilled at the end of this June.

They now stay in a newly built RDP housein Missionvale.

“We are very happy that we finally have ahouse that we can call our home. We appreci-ate theassistancewereceived sincemychild’sordeal,” said the mother whose name cannotbe mentioned to protect the identity of thechild.

The house, however, does not have waterand electricity. The area where the house isbuilt is not safe and there isn’t any burglarproofing on the doors and windows.

“I fear for our safety. Three weeks after wemoved in, the house was broken into. Theworst part was that the invaders changed thelocks. We had to buy new locks,” the con-cerned mother said.

The house is also situated next to an un-fenced, filthy dam which the mother fears isnot only dangerous because her childrenmight drown but that it could pose a healthhazard too. The dam causes an unbearablestench in summer.

Their biggest problem, however, is the fact

that thehousehasnoablution facilities – some-thing which is of great concern to Dora NginzaPrincipal Social Worker Pamela Rubushe.

According to Rubushe, residents in the areause the bucket system, yet to date this familydoes not have a bucket.

“They struggle and when it is time to relievethemselves, are forced to ask the neighbours

. That’s not good for the people in their condi-tion,” saidRubushewhohas taken it uponher-self to speak to the municipal authorities onbehalf this family. But at time of PE ExpressIndaba going to print on Monday the sanita-tion bucket had still not been delivered, saidRubushe.PE Express Indabawas also unsuccessful in

attempts to solicit a response from the munici-pality. The following questions were posed tothe municipality:

1. What was the hold-up in the bucket deliv-ery andwhywere someof the residents includ-ing this family not getting buckets?

2. Is there a plan in place to protect residentsfrom the dam?

A PORT Elizabeth family fears the worst af-ter their 3-year old daughter went missingduring a traditional ceremony held in Vee-plaas at the weekend.

Members of the South African PoliceService (SAPS) are investigating the disap-pearance of Ntembiso Ntsepho (3) who dis-appeared from Mbekweni Street, in Vee-plaas on Saturday.The family of the child told PE Express

Indaba that they suspect that sangomasfrom another town, who also attended theceremony, have kidnapped the child.The sangomas allegedly threatened her

mother Nontlanhla Ntsepho (35), also a san-goma, by showing her amaqhekez’ engqele– literally meaning “pieces of ice” – duringwhat could have been a power struggle be-tween two sangoma groups.A distraught Sakhile Ntsepho (32), the

missing girl’s uncle said he, hismother andsister (Nontlahla) went to the ceremony inVeeplaas with the child on Friday.According to Sakhile, during the work

(umsebenzi), there was a misunderstand-ing between his sister and the visiting san-gomas which resulted in insults beinghurled.“But later that day we thought that they

had sorted out the problem and cooleddown because they sang and danced togeth-er,” said Sakhile.In the wee hours of the day, the visiting

sangomas allegedly complained of havinglost a bottle of brandy. They suspected Non-tlahla to have stolen it, according to Sa-khile.“They then threatened to deal with who-

ever had stolen their liquor,” said Sakhile.The family immediately remembered

this threat after they discovered that Ntem-biso, who is also known as Noyuku, hadgone missing. All the other children who

were around the area on the day were stillthere. They searched for the child untilthey reported her to the police as missing.“Nontlahla has since been out of her

mind and has now been admitted to Living-stone hospital,” said Sakhile, adding thatthey have since consulted a sangoma andumthandazeli (Spiritual healer) who bothaccused the visiting sangomas of havingkept the child to spite her mother.SA police spokesperson Warrant Officer

Thembi Gwe confirmed that they are inves-tigating a case of a missing child.According to Gwe, she was last seen play-

ing with other children in the street. At thetime of disappearing she was wearing apink skirt, pink leggings and a pink track-suit top.Any-onewith information on thewherea-

bouts of the child is asked to contact Gweat 0 082 457 2752 or Kwazakele SAPS on:0041 408 7780 or Crime Stop No: 08600 10111or go to the nearest police station.

ELDERLY women from Kwazakhele havelaunched a social club to fight solitude, inact-ivity and poor health.

The launch of Lathi Chapha Ilanga Golden-age Club at Bolo Punch Community hall lastFriday marked the beginning of a new dawnfor the elderly who decided not to let old-agetake its toll on them.The gogos, who want to be physically

active, meet twice a week to socialise as wellas do Bible study, sewing, needle-work, bead-work, painting and play handball games to-gether.The non-proftmaking-organisation (NPO)

whichwas formedbygogoElizabethRasmaniand a few of her friends in May 2011, is nowcelebrating its official registration with theSocial Development and Special ProgrammesDevelopment.Speakers at the launch, Social Worker No-

lusindiso Williams, Ward 16 Cllr Xola Sabaniand Rev. Thokoza Mngomezulu of the Angli-canChurch, congratulated the gogos on the in-itiative which would protect them from abuse

and ensure their healthy living and longevity.Williams said it was in line with the aims

of her Department, while Cllr Sabani said itwas commended and fully supported by theNelson Mandela Bay Executive mayor OomBenson Fihla (82).

“The mayor supports this initiative and iscurrently working with the elderly who areleading a crime-fighting initiative, also inKwazakhele,” said Sabani. Sabani expressedhis hope that the youth would be inspired bytheir grandparents’ move of activism.

Sabani encouraged the senior citizens tofund-raise and create self-help projects. Headded that they should continue workingwith their ward councillors.“It has always been my dream to form such

a club when I retired so that we, the elderly,could support one another socially, physicallyand spiritually,” said the group’s coordinatorRasmani.

LIZEKA TANDWA

THEmurderofmunicipal councillorBuyisileMkavu has highlighted the fact that manymunicipal ward councillors are working andliving under a dark cloud of fear as many ofthem have been intimidated and attackedduring their time in office.

Mkavu was gunned down in his car inKwaNobuhle on Saturday, August 2. The Her­ald reported onMonday that a suspect (29)wasarrested on Saturday.According to the report the arrest came

amid mounting speculation in ANC circlesthatMkavuwas slain to stop him fromuncov-eringmassive corruption in the city’s humansettlements department, which he headed.Many Municipal councillors say at one

time or another they had been intimidated orattacked by angry and “misguided” citizenswith some councillors saying they are livingin fear for their lives.Democratic Alliance Ward 32 Councillor,

Sandra Phillis, said that there were allega-tions that she was on a hitlist on her life andhas needed protection for her life and that ofher staff since she began her time in office.Phillis said on three occasions in 2011 her

satellite office in Missionvale, which was

built in order for her to make frequent visitsto the area to assist the people ofMissionvale,was contaminated with human faeces. Thisalso happened twice this year just after thenational elections.“I do not feel safe in that office as I do not

know what might happen if my staff and Icontinue to operate from that office. It mightjust stir those who wish us to stay away tomore drastic ways of getting rid of us,” shesaid.DACouncillorDeanBiddulph,whohas also

experienced intimidation, said anger direct-ed at public officials falls into a number of cat-egories.“Firstly there are genuinely angry commu-

nities with legitimate complaints regardingthe slow pace of service delivery. The secondcategory of anger is more calculated and car-ries with it a strong criminal element whichinfiltrates a genuine protest action to gainpersonal advantage via looting, etc.“The final, and possibly the most sinister,

is the use of intimidation and violence to pre-vent the uncovering of corrupt and illegal ac-tivities. This is the most dangerous kind be-cause when one considers the amounts ofmoney that may be involved, this is the kindof money that people are killed for.”Biddulph said the murder of Mkavu placed

into sharp focus the potential dangers of theirline of work, particularly those who exercisethe most vigorous public oversight.“Whenwevocally andpublicly challenge or

expose potentially corrupt activities, the com-plexion of oversight moves into a dangerousterrain especially when there are many mil-lions of rand at stake,” he said.Biddulph said his experience with intimi-

dation occurred a few months ago as a resultof having launched the “Save Our Metro”campaign which tackled a number of conten-tious issues at the time, including calling forthe return of the City Manager who had fledthe city as a result of intimidation and report-ed political interference, the release of thePikoli report and investigation into IPTS ir-regularities.“Whilst I was at a meeting, a stranger ar-

rived at the gate at my home in an unmarkedcar without number plates enquiring afterme. He did not introduce himself and whenmy wife informed him that I was not home,he said he knew and that she should tell methat the petition was not a good idea. His be-haviourwas extremelyunsettling formypoorwife,’ he said.“Having to live with constant security after

the threat at my own home and having to befollowed by security to my children’s school,

is cold comfort and the fear is very real, par-ticularly when you don’t know fromwhere orwhy the threats have been made,” said Bid-dulph.Ward 31 Councillor Penny Naidoo said the

reasons formany councillors being threatendare that residents are not aware of the roleof council especially when dealing with hous-ing projects.“What I have realised is that many of the

residents who have tried to intimidate methought I was solely in charge of housing.There needs to be education on what exactlycouncillors do in government.“We are there to represent the people in our

wards and speak for their needs. What peopleneed to know is that we are not in charge ofgovernment administration; this is not partof our mandate. Unfortunately people thinkthe buck stops with us,” said Naidoo.Naidoo said she had been a victim of intimi-

dation for several years now and just latelyshe said she had been receiving anonymousthreatening phone calls from disgruntled res-identswhohadalso broken intoher containeroffice and allegedly practised black magicagainst her.

PE Express spoke to three other ANC Coun-cillors who refused to comment for fear fortheir lives.

Financial services provider Metropolitanwho recently partnered Unity in Africa Foun-dation said the purpose of the training was toassist practitioners in managing the financesof their centres effectively, through cultivat-ing their own financial literacy.Elsie Govender, CSI Manager for Metropol-

itan, explains, “As financial services provid-er to the mass market, we have a deep under-standing of the challenges faced by those inunderprivileged areas. Many ECD practition-ers in these areas run their own centres – thisis their livelihood.“We realised that while brilliant caregivers

andeducators,manydonothave the requisitesupport to enable them to come to grips withthe financial aspects of running a centre, andthere are no funds available to appoint a des-ignated resource.“Aligned to our brand purpose of empower-

ing communities to confidently shape theirfuture, we wanted to help these practitionersby providing them with the necessary guid-ance, skills, understanding and knowledge offinancial management, enabling them to ef-fectivelymanage their finances,” said Goven-der.The Unity in Africa’s accredited Early In-

spiration Training and Intervention Pro-

gramme, comprised a theory and a practicalimplementation element.Dr Lauren Stretch from Unity in Africa

said, “The programme aims to develop a bet-ter understanding of the value ofmoney, dem-onstrating the difference between essentialexpenses and luxuries. It provides an over-view of taxes – what they are why they needto be paid. Participants are taught how todrawup a budget using their current payslipsas a guideline, as well as how to open a bankaccount.”The practitioners underwent a financial lit-

eracy pre-test which integrated their know-ledge of financial wellbeing together withtheir ECD centre, in an effort to ascertaintheir level of understanding. The resultsshowed an average score of 47%. After thetraining, the score rose to 73.2% – a markedimprovement. Sindiswa Mapiro, one of thepractitioners who attended the programmesays, “Sometimes you think that you’re doingwell with what you have when you can domuchbetter. This trainingwas an eye opener.I will surely use it in my life. I need to budgetin order for things to go according to plan andto have a good financial tracking record.”“Not only does the training support the

practitioner in question,” said Govender, “itbenefits the entire community through facili-tating the development of sustainable earlylearning centres. This has a holistic impact,and we look forward to seeing the long-termresults.”

EARLY Childhood Development (ECD) iskey towards preparing toddlers to a betteradult life through training and develop-ment.

This is according to ECD teacher, Vuy-iswa Jobela, of Nobandla Educare Centre inThsewu Street, New Brighton, who believesteachers who teach these young childrenshould themselves be educated.“Wearenotbaby-sitting these children.We

are teaching and preparing them for the fu-ture. It is important therefore that we too goto school and get proper training,” said Jobe-la, adding that the institution should also beregistered andworkwith the Social Develop-ment and Special Programmes Department.Her 4 to 6 year-olds already know all the

National Cabinet Ministers, the nine Pre-miers of the country as well as Members ofthe Executive Committees (MECs) in theBhisho legislature.These joyful little kids know who Nelson

Mandela was and Jacob Zuma is. They canrattle off about 10 of Africa’s capital townswith ease as well as sing the national an-them (in a childish pronunciation) some-thing that many adult citizens still strug-gled to do.“We believe it is important that children

know their history. They sing, dance and dopoetry while learning,” said Jobela proud-ly.According to Jobela, Nobandla Educare

Centre has four dedicated teachers eachmanning a class. They admit children start-ing with 2-year-old who no longer use napp-ies. She said most of their children go to

Charles Duna Primary in New Brighton aswell as Morewag Primary in Korsten to reg-ister for Grade 1.Jobela studied an ECD Course at Rhodes

University and is currently upgrading by

doing Level 4 at the Port Elizabeth (PE) Col-lege, Russell Road Campus.She further believes a pre-school teacher

should love the job and possess fervent lovefor the children as if they were her own.

TLOKWENG Senior Secondary School ofMakalaleng Village, Sterkspruit is the firstschool to qualify for theU-19 SanlamKayMot-sepe Schools Cup Eastern Cape Provincial fi-nals, which are scheduled to take place at theNU2 stadium in Motherwell, this Saturday,August 16.

The school is not new to the tournament.They began participating in 2008 and made itthrough to the provincial finals in 2012, butwere knocked out therefore not progressingto the provincials.Their coach, Mtura Nqonjana, said he has

the best squad of players seen at the school

this year andbelieves 2014 couldbe their year.“The current team is new but experienced.It’s made up of players from last year’s under-17s,” he said.“We have two boys who play in the SAB re-

gional league for the Seven Stars team, whichI manage and coach. I think this team willcause damage to other schools. The team isstrong and has won all its games so far, withone draw.”In their regional finals they played against

Ethembeni High and drew nil-nil, against Le-hana Secondary and won 4-0 and then beatBishop Dermot 2-0.The team’s leading goal scorer is Khathu

Thatu, who has found the net 6 times sincethe tournament began. “He is a quality strik-

er, he uses every chance he gets and his finish-ing touch is impeccable,” Nqonjana said.Another player to watch out for, according

to the coach, is defender Siyazi Khewana,who’s nicknamed “Mafix” meaning that he isa fixer. “He keeps the backline tight, and hasa good eye for the counter-attack. He has thepotential to become one of the best defendersSouth Africa has seen.”Nqonjana has a level 1 coaching qualifica-

tion and has been coaching since 1999. “I havebeen coaching schools and local teams fromaround my area for 15 years now,” he said. “Iam passionate about soccer and I want tomake a difference inmy township by showingthese kids that they can have a career in soc-cer if they are determined to succeed.”

The preparations for the provincial fi-nals have been going well Nqonjana said.“I don’t want to over-train the team. Cur-rently they have been training with theirclubs and will resume as a school team theweek of the provincial finals.”There will be seven regional winners

participating in the Sanlam Kay MotsepeSchools Cup Eastern Cape provincial fi-nals with the ultimate winner pocketingR100 000. The winner, together with therunners-up, will progress through to thenational finals, which carries a price tagof R1 million. No funding is given to theschool in cashbut the schoolsmust identifyprojects in need that will benefit the learn-ers and community at large.

in the townships. They love the sport and theyare good at it. So, with the assistance from themayor we were able to go out there and beatthe best, “said Magqabi, whose team broughtback seven Gold, three Silver and an equalnumber of Bronze Medals.“It is these children’s dedication to the sport

that encouragesme to train themwithout pay-ment - they love Judo and it keeps them outof loitering in the streets and engaging indrugs and crime,” said Magqabi.

ing football with local fans giving them all thenecessary support.Coach Kosta Papic’s boys were knocking

timeously on the door of the Stars’ goalswhilst their rear guard kept the challenge ofStars strikers at bay. Their defendingwaswa-

ter-tight. Zulu wrote his name on the score-sheet in 30 minutes of time.The final score was 2-0 yet it could have
