HUNDREDS of foreigners gath-ered in the Central Business Dis-trict (CBD) of Mthatha wherethey held a march last Thursdaywith the intention of handing

over a petition to the police, regarding thehigh rate of attacks on foreigners.

They demanded justice from the police astheymarched through theCBDcarrying plac-ards with relevant messages.The President of the Pakistani Association

of South Africa, Fayyaz Ahmed Khan, saidthey had decided to stand up against crime,after having realised that they were being at-tacked and murdered by criminals.“We are being attacked in our shops. Our

people are being murdered and hijacked. Wehave decided to stand up and make an appealto the justice system and the police to protectus, because we are also contributing to theSouth African economy,” he said.He said that not only Pakistanis were being

murdered, but that Zimbabweans and SouthAfricans were also being targeted by crimi-nals. Khan said the police should ensure that

they arrest the perpetrators.“We are proud of the Pakistanis who run

businesses here. They are creating job oppor-tunities for South Africans and are also pay-ing tax.”Khan said they were not only concerned

about their people gettingmurdered, butwereconcerned over all murders.The memorandumwas accepted by the Sta-

tion Commander of the Madeira Police Sta-tion, Lieutenant Colonel Dial Ketledas, whopromised to follow-up on their grievances.Police Spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel

Mzukisi Fatyela, said they were aware of the

cases the foreigners were complaining about.“The grievences is about the crimes in

which they are attacked.“As police we are trying by all means to fol-

low leadswhich could lead to arrests.Wehavetaken their petition and we will look into it,”said Fatyela.Fatyela said they heard at a meeting last

week that there were 12 more cases.“These cases are not only from theMthatha

region, but also in other areas like Mqanduliand other districts.”Recently aPakistani washijacked inElliot-

dale and was later killed at Gengqe location.

THEMEC for Rural Development andAgrari-an Reform, Mlibo Qoboshiyane, talked aboutthe importance of preserving the languageduring the Mthatha Cultural Heritage Festi-val at Mthatha Town hall last Friday.

Qoboshiyane started his speech by explain-ing why the Xhosa names that were given toeach month of the calendar were so impor-tant and explained why those months werecalled by those names. He said those nameswere the resemblance of things which usedto happen during that particular month.Hehighly commended the organisers of the

festival and said it was going to be good if thecultural festival could run the whole weekleading to the important event.“The municipalities and the business sec-

tor need to support this kind of event if thegovernment department should set aside acertain amount ofmoney to promote arts andculture in the province. There should beworkshops during theweek about languages,arts and culture whereby people will betaught and have knowledge about theirroots,” said Qoboshiyane.He said he heard that the organisers of the

eventwere not gaining anything from the fes-tival but advised that in future they shouldbe gaining something even though it wasmeant for the development of the people.Qoboshiyane thanked Thando Nogaga, the

brain behind the festival for coming withsuch a concept which brings all the cultureof the Eastern Cape together and wished herwell on her future endeavours.Hevoiced out his disappointmentwith traf-

fic congestion in the Mthatha Central Busi-

ness District and said it was not because thatKing Sabatha Local Municipality could nothandle such big events but proper planningwas needed.“There was traffic in the town of Mthatha

but I could not see even one traffic officermanning traffic. This, to me, was very disap-pointing.”

“WE came here to listen and learn how peo-ple live in the Alfred Nzo District, after somuch killings by community members andukuthwala of young girls,” said MEC forthe Department of Social Development andSpecial Programmes at Majavu Compre-hensive High School in Mbizana last Fri-day.

MEC Nancy Sihlwayi launched a “stopgender-based violence campaign” in the ar-ea of Mbizana, after numerous incidents inwhich women and children were attackedand/or killed.She was accompanied by the MEC of the

Department of Transport, Safety and Liai-son, Weziwe Tikane, and both these depart-ments had partnered with the Mbizana Lo-cal Municipality and the Alfred Nzo Dis-trict Municipality, to make sure that thecampaign was successful.MEC Sihlwayi passed her condolences to

the families that have lost their loved onesdue to suspicions of witch craft, includingthe recent killings in Lugwijini Localityand in Mount Ayliff.She said she was deeply concerned about

the high crime rate in the district.“I would like to ask parents to build

homes and not mere houses. I believe par-

ents play a huge role in the problems weare facing today as they sometimes neglecttheir children.“I also ask parents to maintain a high lev-

el of harmony so that children may not bedisturbed, but feel safe at home,” said Sihl-wayi.The MEC said that people needed to be

educated on what the concept of democracymeant and not wait on government, butthat they should take charge of their livesand make a difference.MEC Tikane said seeing children walk-

ing on their own to school, made her thinkof another idea.“I was deeply shakenwhen I saw children

crossing the road all alone, and I decidedthat we should launch a walking bus as ameans of helping children to live as well ascreating job opportunities in partnershipwith the scholar transport programme,”said MEC Tikane.She asked the motorists to stop bribing

the traffic officers, and said instead theyshould use the bribe money to fix their ve-hicles to make it road worthy.The department of Social Development

donated four blankets to the widows of theMarikana massacre and 25 food parcels.Other donations went to two Non-Profit

Organisation, namely Mzamba White Doorof Hope and the Imizizi Advocacy Trust.

THE R18 million Ngcwanguba CommunityHealth Centre in Mqanduli hopes to savelives and improve its service after receivingtwo brand new ambulances and one rescuevehicle from the department of health.

The long-awaited vehicles (according toresidents) were handed over to the centre atthe official launch of the centre’s satellitebase last Thursday by the MEC of Health,Phumza Patricia Dyantyi.

Ngcwanguba is a 24-hour service health

centre in the rural parts of Mqanduli, serv-ing a population of about 23 000.

The centre – which has a heavy work load– had been operating without an emergencyvehicle of its own.

In cases where an ambulance was needed,the centre had to rely on an ambulance fromMthatha which takes at least an hour to getto Ngcwanguba.

According to the MEC, the handover of thevehicles to Ngcwanguba was part of the re-cent handover of 110 health emergency vehi-cles that took place in Tsolo.

Dyantyi described this month as the

month of service delivery from her depart-ment.

“We are not here to talk; we are here to im-plement. We’ve heard that people have diedon the way to hospitals due to the shortageof ambulances and today we say no more,”she said.

To help curb the abuse of government re-sources that is said to be rife among govern-ment workers, these ambulances are fittedwith tracking systems to monitor usage.

Following an incident that took place inNtabankulu near Mt Frere where a patientfell out of a moving ambulance, the MEC also

pleaded with paramedics to be careful withthe patients and the vehicles.

As the South African government strivesto create employment through development,16 paramedics were employed at the centre,of which 14 are from the area.

Residents and pupils of local schools andChiefs came in numbers to the launch andhand-over.

Chief of the area, Vuyisa Zwelinzima Dala-se, said they have long awaited this day, asthey were used to digging into their pocketsin order to rush those in critical conditionsto hospitals.

THE Department of Social Development intheAlfredNzoDistrict embarked onhouse-to-house research, with the help of other stake-holders in the district, as the MEC felt the ar-ea was not being serviced properly.

The purpose of the campaignwas to find outfrom the communities in the areas of Lugwiji-ni andMtayise –whichwere recently affectedby a number of criminal offences affectingwomen, men and children – what could bedone to fight these social ills.

On September 9, the Department of SocialDevelopment employees, social workers andstakeholders were sent to do a house-to-houseresearch campaign as a fact finding missionin Lugwijini and Mtayise.There were several groups which were led

by social workers who visited houses and in-terviewed people about the different servicesreceived from the government departmentsand especially about the Victim Empower-ment Programme, since these areas were af-fected by crime.The information received during the cam-

paign will be put into a report which would

be forwarded to the MEC of Social Develop-ment, Nancy Sihlwayi, whowill in turn shareit with the relevant departments for interven-tions in bringing services to these communi-ties.Provincial Co-ordinator for the Victim Em-

powerment Programme, Moeti Mphuthaingsaid the purpose of the programme was to aresearch whether communities of Lugwijiniand Mtayise understood the Victim Empow-erment Progamme (VEP) services offered byhis department.He said the research was not going to only

look at VEP but also at other social develop-

ment services and if they were accessible tothe communities and to get feedback on howthey could improve the services rendered tothe communities by other departments aswell.“TheMEC is concerned about service deliv-

ery, and the victims of crime in Mbizana andthe whole of the Alfred Nzo District. Our ob-jective is to get the views of the communitiesand get them to talk about the performanceof the government in rendering service deliv-ery,” said Mphuthaing.

TWO hundred and eight Boxer customersacross the country have received their share ofhalf amillion rand between June and Early Sep-tember 2014.

This was possible through Boxer’s fantasticBirthday Deals competition which was both un-usual and rewarding.

Over their birthday promotion period, Boxerleaflets offered customers low prices and fantas-tic ‘Royal pairs’ and ‘diamond deals’ in keepingwith their theme. All customers had to do waspurchase any two ‘diamond deal’ products andfollow the easy USSD prompts to enter the com-petition.

Four customers were randomly drawnthroughout the promotional period daily. Eachwinning customer was personally contacted,congratulated and told to collect his/her shareof R500 000 from their closest Boxer store. Thecompetition was effortless for customers to en-ter which attracted more repeat purchases andthus more chances to win.

BoxerBirthdayDeals raked in an outstandingnumber of entries. “As with all our competi-tions, we like setting a numeric target for thenumber of valid entries we receive over thespecified period. And with the Boxer BirthdayDeals competition, I can proudly boast that wesurpassed our target in leaps and bounds. Weare ecstatic about the results and even morepleased with the warm reception they receivedamongst our shoppers,” said Prenella Ragavan,Boxer’s Public Relations Officer.

This maverick retailer continues to spark theinterest of competitors, media and most impor-tantly, customers. From the amazing birthdaypromotion to their newly announced ‘first of itskind’ campaign that has captured South Afri-ca’s attention, Boxer is fast becoming the retail-er towatchandapreferredbrand inmanySouthAfrican households.

AT a school kit handing over last week at AllSaints hall, sibone kakubi uMiss ebethaebuyelela eyophaka and she even went to anextent yoba ade atshove, using the plasticsfrom the cans.

Yhini Sisi you acted as if you have neverseen food before and as for a professionalteacher, what happened to yourmanners?Wewould expect that kind of a behaviour fromthe learners, very young learners but fromthe teacher; that was really embarrassing.

Please teachers nibonqandana because youwill never know who is watching.

Too much of everything is not right andfood can kill you Sisi!

Njengamini zonke ndivuke ndabheka em-sebenzini. Xa kanye ndikufuphi ndabonauthuli nje oluninnzi ndagqiba kwelokubahayi inokuba zinkomo ziyalwa.

Highlights on Mvoko’s funeral

Last week we attended Sakhumzi ‘Nduna’Mvoko’s funeral eZimbane and it was every-thing andmore ongayilindela kwiFuneral yo-mntu ofana naye.

Cars were spun, gun shots were fired andbekukho nesithethi sasemsebenzini wakhe!We all knowmoss hiswork and his colleagueshad no problem sharing their work experi-ence with the late Mvoko.

It looked as if even his family had no prob-lem or masithi bebeyamkele indlela enzangayo imali unyana wabo judging from the

way they entertained his ‘colleagues’.As expected, the media was dismissed and

you would swear Mvoko was shot by the me-dia people.

Don’t judge people

People should stop to judge other people be-fore theyknowwho theyare.Kazi nifunauku-thini ngoku bafana bomgosi?

You knowwhat on Friday we attended a ga-la dinner at the town hall. To our disappoint-ment the people whom we were sitting withat our table were not friendly at all and theywere women.

Unfortunately for us we went to the tablesbefore they could be marked and later welearned that it was supposed to be a table forORTambo people but it was too late to changeor to move to the other other tables as theywere already occupied.

Yho the reception we received was notfriendly at all and the waitress was also notinterested to serve us as she said it herselfthat she was responsible for serving OR Tam-bo only and we were thirsty needing water todrink she said no but the ciders and whiskieswere only going to OR Tambo ladies to drink.
