THE renovations of the Ntabankuluhospital was given a go ahead bythe Eastern Cape Department ofHealth during a sod turning cere-mony held at the hospital last

week Monday.

The R320 mil-lion hospital ren-ovations are ex-pected to resultin 100 beds andwill ensure thatpatients have ac-cess to all the oth-er service pack-ages an urbanhospital usuallyhas.

The people ofNtabankulu hadlong been wait-ing for the revi-talisation of thishospital whichwas announcedby Thabo Mbekiwhen he was stillthe country’spresident during

his visit in area on September 2011.The hospital renovations were set to start

right after Mbeki left, but due to the WorldCup Tournament, the money was diverted toconstruct the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadiumin Port Elizabeth.

After the World Cup was over the hospitalboard met with the MEC for Health, SiceloGqobana who committed that the hospitalwould be built together with the Lilitha Nurs-ing College next to the hospital before the year2014 ends.

These two projects were set to go togetherbut the construction of the college will starta little bit later than the hospital.

Approximately 600 local people would be

employed during the construction ofwhich 200 people would be trained so thatthey would be able to use the skills gainedeven when the project was completed.

munity. “We are so excited about the renova-tions of the hospital but what we are more ex-cited about is the college that will be builtcloser for our children to study closer tohome,” said a community member, Tanda-bantu Sibisi from Ntabankulu.

THE MEC for Local Government and Tradi-tional Affairs, Mlibo Qoboshiyane, officiallyappointed Nqaba “Sikhokhele” Nota as therightful chief of the AmaHlubi tribe in May2013 and he will be officially installed on July11.

This was after numerous family disputesregarding the chieftainship which was tem-porarilyheld byGertrudeThandekaNotaSte-ven whilst Nqaba was still young and pursu-ing his university studies.She refused to step downwhich angered the

amaHlubi family members.

Several attempts were made by familymembers to get Gertrude to step down

since Nqaba was ready to take the throneas chief.

They also said they were not satisfied with

her as she hadn’t brought any developmentto Rhode village outside Mount Ayliff.

The clan was also unhappy about the factthat she was married to the Steven and wasno longer representing the clan familyname.After having so many temporary chiefs,

the family sat down and looked back on thetraditional hierarchy to determine the right-ful chief.It was decided Nqaba, the grandson of the

late Nkosi Jongintaba Nota, was the one nextin line.Community member, Des Ndema, who was

speaking on behalf of the community, saidthat they were now happy with the decisionthat the MEC had taken as their new leaderis educated and still young andwouldhelp thecommunity by creating opportunities forthem.He said theywere honoured by the appoint-

ment.

THE Xholobeni community in Bizana has re-fused plans for the proposed mining in theirvillageas theyhavequestionsabout the jobop-portunitiesandgrowththat theminingwill re-portedly bring.

Nonhle Mbuthuma, a resident of Xholobe-ni, said that theystill didnotwant thisminingin their area as it would not bring develop-ment and that it was just a camouflage tomake people rich with the resources that thearea had to offer.“What job creation are people talking

about? This will need a lot of machine workmore thanhumanwork.Where is the jobcrea-tion in that?” asked Mbuthuma.TheXholobeni community had ameeting in

April 2013 about this issue and made it clearthat they did not want mining in the area.Mbuthuma said people wanted to do as they

pleased in their homelandand thatwasnot go-ing tohappenbecause thiswouldbeone-sided.He said the people would take and move on,leaving the people of the villagewith no devel-

opment at all. She said there were many chal-lenges to this mining business.“We have nothing connecting us to the peo-

ple that proposed this as they never came tous as the community with their proposal; allthey want to do is to destroy our area for theirbenefit.”The Mayor of Mbizana Local Municipality,

MakhayaTwabusaid theminingdevelopmentwas still on the cards but themunicipality, to-getherwith theminingpeople, areworking onchanging the mind sets of the Xholobeni com-munity members.“We want the majority of people there to

vote for the development so that it canproceedas we are sure that not everybody is againstit,” concluded Twabu.

THE Ingquza Holy Cross Mkhambathi De-velopment committee (IHCMD) on behalf ofthe Department of Arts and Culture togeth-er with the Independent DevelopmentTrust (IDT), handed over the phase one con-struction site of the planned museum toDelex Construction Company at IngquzaHill in Flagstaff on February 25.

The sod-turning of the Museum, which

will cost R21 million was done by PresidentJacob Zuma in 2011 when he officiallyhanded over the site for construction.

The chairperson of the IHCMD commit-tee, Mzimkhulu Zibi said this was a happyday for them as they were now sure that themuseum would be built.

He said because the sod-turning ceremo-ny had been done three years ago, the In-gquza Hill community had lost hope thatthe Museum would be built since nothinghad happened after the ceremony.

“This will be a very useful Museum forthe young people of the Ingquza Hill as theywill learn a lot about the significant historythat Ingquza Hill has to offer,” said Zibi.

The IHCMD committee members saidthat they were proud of this museum as itwould be the pride of the AmaMpondo clanas many fallen heroes died at that place,fighting for this country’s freedom.

Zibi said they chose that location becauseit is at the centre of all AmaMpondo people,which will be easier for them to visit once

the museum had been constructed.The community of Ingquza Hill were not

happy that representatives from the De-partment of Arts and Culture and IDT werenot present to hand the project over them-selves but were more at ease when theyheard that the museum project was sched-uled to start last week Monday and wouldend on January 1 next year.

THE MEC for Social Development,PemmyMajodina, launched food secu-rity projects atMtyhintyini in the Inx-uba Yethemba Municipality at Mid-dleburg, last week.

This project was funded in 2011 withR1,5 million by the department. It has24 members and it was established bycommunity members in 2004, eachmember contributing R100 permonth.Other donors, like the Accelerated

and Shared Growth Initiative forSouth Africa (ASGISA), the NationalDevelopment Agency (NDA) and theDepartment of Agriculture and WaterAffairs also cameonboard to assist theproject in growing it financially.A month ago, members of this

project sold some of their vegetablesand managed to generate R35 000 prof-it. They have been trained in projectmanagement, financial management,governance and marketing.On the day of the event Majodina

handed out school uniforms, schoolbags, sanitary towels and toiletries tothe value of R900 per pupil to 60 pupilsfrom two different schools in the Mty-hintyini Village.The chairman of the project, Sinde-

zama Bokolo, said theywere very hap-py to get such good support from theDepartment of Social Development.“They are encouraging us to contin-

uewithwhatwe are doing and our aimis to ensure that we keep fighting pov-erty in our area,” said Bokolo.According to the Spokesperson for

the Department of Social Develop-ment, Gcobani Maswana, the initia-tive of sponsoring school uniforms,formspart of a continuousprogrammewith the aim of helping pupils in need.“We would like to contribute to

more children if there is a need to doso. Our plan is to reach all ourmunici-palities and to assist many pupilsthrough this programme,” Maswanasaid.He said they don’t assist the chil-

dren by giving them uniforms only.“The department alsomakes sure thatthey further their studies at tertiarylevel.”Maswana said theywere also asking

people to ensure that they were takingpart in projects to help fight poverty.“ We fund various projects. We alsotrain memebers of the projects to ena-ble them to run and manage the vari-ous initiatives.”


RENOVATIONS to the home of the late ANCveteran OR Tambo at Nkantolo village hasfinally been completed.

The renovations to the home started at thebeginning of last year after Tambo’s sister,Gertrude Tambo, complained to the SA gov-ernment about the state of their homesteadand how it did not reflect that they were alsopart of the fight against the apartheid re-gime.

“My brother and I fought so much forthis country but we never saw any devel-opment when it comes to renovating ourhome. We have visitors coming from allover to see where Oliver originated,” add-ed Tambo.Nombini Sontsele from Nkantolo Vil-

lage said that they were overjoyed whenthey saw OR Tambo’s homestead beingrenovated as it was embarrassing thatsomeone who was respected in the historyof SA had a ordinary home as if he meantnothing to this country.Nosipho Ndzimakhwe who was working

at the OR Tambo homestead during therenovations said the money that she gotfrom working there helped her family alot.“We are very happy with the outcomes

of the OR Tambo homestead as it now re-flects the role the Tambo’s played in thiscountry for tourists to also respect.

THE problem of referees not pitching up toofficiate the games at the New Rest Stadiumin Lusikisiki was not because they had at-tendedaworkshopbut because there is a seri-ous problem which South African FootballAssociation (Safa) is trying to resolve.

Two weekends ago football lovers, whocame out in numbers to watch their teams,were told that the referees had to attend aworkshop. Last weekend there were again noreferees to officiate the games and they werepostponed again.According to a source, who opted not to be

named, the problem in the SAB CoastalStream league started when there were alle-gations that some referees were corrupt andwere involved in match fixing and refereesfrom Mthatha were used to officiate thegames. That problem was resolved but nowit seems the local referees are boycotting offi-ciating at the games.Safa’s League co-ordinator, N Sibhekedu

confirmed that Coastal Streamwere not play-ing because of some problems.These games that were being delayed were

making the leading teams uncertain aboutwhether they would claim the title and pro-ceed to the promotion league next season.TheMthatha Stream played their games as

fixtured last Sunday and all the winningteams scored three goals. Weekend results:

MadikizelaAll Stars 3 vsAmawisile 1, CapitalSpurs 2 vs Mthatha City 3, Master Kids FC 3

vs Green Mamba 1 and Ocean FC 3 vs BityiAll Stars 0.
