RESIDENTS are celebrating 20years of democracy withmixed emotions as some feelthat their areas have not re-ceived the necessary inter-

vention to improve their living condidi-tions.

While most communities around theAlfred Nzo District rejoice with the cele-brations of theAfricanNationalCongress(ANC) as some of the services had beendelivered to them, the Mathwebu localityin Bizana is still not happy about the stateof their access roads.Zwelenkosi Zimbi from the Ndlovu vil-

lage, who uses the Mathwebu access roadevery day to travel to work, said theirroads are in a poor state. “We pay a for-tune to fix our cars because of the statethat parts of our access road is in. Peopleare celebrating their achievements in thepast 20 years while we weep for our pock-ets.”Mbizana Local Municipal Mayor, Ma-

khaya Twabu, said in an interview withUvoLwethu Express they know that theyhave a responsibility to deliver servicesto people but the pace the communitymembers want them to go “was pretty ri-diculous”.“We work by the rules and regulation;

we take community complaints and weprioritise them accordingly, which iswhy we say that people should put them-selves in our shoes and see that it is im-possible to do everything for every com-munity at once,” concluded Twabu.

OMBUDSMAN


THE Ingquza Hill Local Municipality (IHLM)held a State of theMunicipalAddress (SOMA)last week Wednesday at Lusikisiki College ofEducation where they outlined their achieve-ments of the past financial year.

The municipal leadership said the purposeof the SOMA was to also announce what theywill be doing in the new financial year tocome.IHLM Mayor, Pat Mdingi, said in his ad-

dress that they are very proud of what theyhave managed to do for communities duringthe financial year promising that they are go-ing to carry on doing good for their communi-ties.“The municipality finds itself in the papers

for all thewrong reasons butwe are confidentto say that it will never happen again,” added

Mdingi.Mdingi outlined all of the things that they

have done in the 2013/14 financial year, in-cluding the implementation of water andelectricity, sanitation, new halls, RDP hous-es, building and fixing of schools. He said themost important achievement of the munici-pality was the jobs that were created duringthis period. Thanduxolo Ziphathe (67), whowas speaking on behalf of the community,said they hoped that the new financial yearwill have more ups than downs because com-munities had the challenge ofmunicipal lead-ers promising but never delivering.“We have been around for a long time and

we have served during the struggle in ourcountry. We do not deserve fake promises.”The SOMAaddress also included a detailed

summary of more services to be delivered inthe new 2014/15 financial year that will bene-fit more communities in Lusikisiki and Flag-staff.

AS part of celebrating the Private PublicPartnership (PPP) successes, DeputyMinis-ter of Transport, Sindiswa Chikunga, joinedthe Provincial Transport MEC, ThandiswaMarawu, and Africa’s Best Ltd (AB350) BusCompany in celebration of 6 years of servicedelivery in Mount Frere on March 16.

AB350 was established in 2005 and startedoperations in 2008 with the intention of pro-viding rural communitieswith safe and reli-

able transport. Since starting the opera-tions, AB350 has created 390 permanentjobs, and transportsmore that 5,7million ru-ral commuters a year.The chairperson of AB350, Simlindile

Hintsa said that their buses accommodateeveryone as they are affordable, safe and re-liable because their drivers arewell trained.“Wehavea relationshipwithmunicipalitiessuch as Alfred Nzo District, OR Tambo dis-trict and Amathole, among others. Duringits establishment, this bus system was notwelcomed by the different communities it

caters for. Especially the taxi associations

argued the fact that the bus systemwill lead

to taxi drivers losing their jobs because peo-plewill shift fromusing taxis to busses sincethey are cheaper.”Hintsa said, “Buses were torched as a

warning from the taxi associations but wewere determined to make our mark whichis when we decided to form a partnershipwith the taxi industry and findways toworktogether.”The day gave people the opportunity to in-

teract with the transport industry leaders,state their concerns and applaud what theyare doing for commuters.

AB350’s 6th year anniversary celebrations


ANC Provincial Secretary, Oscar Mabuyane,welcomed back to the ANC 45 Economic Free-dom Fighters (EFF) members on March 26 in

Mount Ayliff.

The members defected to the EFF a fewmonths ago. They said they had realised thatthe organisation does not represent their po-

litical belief, hence their comeback to theANC.One of themembers, Nomakhosazana Cety-

wayo, said they went to the EFF expectingsomething different from the ANC but when

they got there, they felt that therewasnohopefor the EFF. “There is no control when itcomes to that political party. Everyone con-trols him or herself which is very dangerousfor their image,” added Cetywayo.

AFTER years of struggling with accidentsand unbearable traffic problems, the commu-nity of Bizana was happy to see new trafficlights along the busy R61 road when they wasfirst introduced. The second phase of thelights did not, however, receive a warm wel-come.

Mbizana Local Municipal Manager (MLM),Luvuyo Mahlaka, said the traffic lights wereinstalled to help with traffic control in thisstreet lined with shops. Secondly, the lightswere needed for a driver’s licence centre ofwhich construction was currently underway.

According to Mahlaka, the driver’s licencecentre is also a development that will put Bi-zana on the map. Communities all around Bi-zana are, however, concerned about the fact

that these traffic lights were being placed allaround town while the road was still in anunbearable condition.

Speaking on behalf of theBizana communi-ty, Ayabonga Maphumulo said the munici-pality’s first priority should be fixing thebusy R61 roadwhich hadmany potholes. Thetraffic lights should only follow after this be-cause it is important that this busy road isin a good condition.

“We are fuming with anger because of theembarrassing condition of the R61 road. Thisroad is used by tourists. Andmost important-ly, the potholes are damaging our cars,” add-ed Maphumulo.

The MLM Mayor, Councillor MakhayaTwabu, said there was a programme in placeto fix the roads.

The municipality is also in the process ofdeveloping the entire town.

EMPLOYEES of theMagwa Tea Plantation inLusikisiki say they have not been paid wagesfor the past six months.

This despite the intervention by theDepart-ment of Rural Development and Agrarian Re-form to rescue the Plantation.

The Magwa Tea Plantation started to makeheadlines between 2000 and 2008 when it hadto close down due to bankrupcy and it was un-able to pay their workers and maintain theplants. But the Department intervened and

invested some funds to rescue the projectwhich employed hundreds of Lusikisiki resi-dents.

The same complaints of employees aboutgoing months without being paid resurfacedagain and the African National Congress(ANC) in the OR Tambo District intervenedby informing the leadership in the govern-ment department which was involved to takethe necessary steps in addressing the prob-lem.

The secretary of the ANC Ingquza Hill SubRegion, Dumisani Mjokovana, said what hadhappened to the Magwa Tea workers was un-

MagwaTeaPlantationemployeesallegedlyowedsixmonths’wagesfortunate but the Department of Rural Devel-opment and Agrarian Reform agreed to payback the workers their full 6 months’ salarieswithin twomonths. Mjokovana said the MECfor the department, Zoleka Capa, agreed toassist in the matter. He said they discoveredthis problemduring their site visits in theare-as of Lusikisiki and Flagstaff to assess thework that had been done by the governmentfor the past 20 years.

“There are a lot of challenges being facedby the Ingquza Hill community but a lot of de-velopment has been done as well,” he added.Among other problems that the Ingquza Hill

community complained about was the waterissue,where tapswere installed but theyweredry with no water.

Zwelenkosi Sibisi from Flagstaff said thatthey were grateful for the work done by thegovernment so far but itwaswrong ofMagwa-to leave workers unpaid for six months andwhen it was close to elections they miracu-lously come to the rescue.

Zikhona Ndwe from Lusikisiki applaudedthe ANC government for bringing services tothe people. She said, however, that they seemto only appear closer to election time and sheurged them to change that tendency.


SMALL businesses situated in the IngquzaHill area, which is made up of Flagstaff andLusikisiki, are set to benefit greatly from theIngquza Hill Local Municipality (IHLM) inthe next financial year.

In his State of the Municipality Address(SOMA), Ingquza Hill Local Municipal May-or, Pat Mdingi spoke a great deal about howsmall businesses, including co-operativesand hawkers, were going to receive govern-ment support if they go through the rightchannels of growing their businesses.

“We are going to support 14 developingbusinesses in our area dealing with agricul-tural matters, as well as 13 in co-operatives,and businesses that will emerge during the

IngquzaHillsmall businessesto receivegovernment support

N2 toll road, hoping that these will create jobsfor our young people,” added Mdingi.

Local business owner,MzingisiDiphini, saidthey were going to work with the municipalityto ensure that businesses grow in the Ingquzahill area to diminish poverty and unemploy-ment.

Sakhile Ndabambi from Flagstaff said theywere glad they attended the SOMA address asthey are now clear on how to register their co-operatives for government funding as they pre-viously did not know where to go for support.

The Ingquza Hill local municipality prom-ised to train young people and develop theirskills for them to give these two small townsgood serviceswithout hiring people from otherdistricts.

PROTEST marches seem to be far from overasmore andmore communities inBizana joinhands to voice their gripes with poor servicedelivery by the Mbizana Local Municipality(MLM).

Ntsimbini andStofini villages are twoof thedeep rural areas situated inBizana. Early lastweek Thursday residents of these communi-

ties came together at Ndlovu Village wherethey blocked the road. This resulted in peoplebeing late for work and pupils being late forschool.Nosiseko Bambelo, who was speaking on

behalf of the community, said they were fedup with being the last ones to benefit from de-velopment because they were opposing theirward councillor. “Development in our locali-ty comes because of who you are.”She said this started in 2011when theywere

introduced to a councillor that theynever vot-ed for.When they voiced their concerns aboutthat, they got shut down completely in termsof getting water tanks for access to clean wa-ter. The community also said that the purposeof the protest was to plead with themunicipalleadership to provide them with electricity,toilets and RDP houses.MLMMayor, Makhaya Twabu, said the na-

tional government, together with the provin-cial government, was aware of all the chal-

lenges that Bizana communities were facedwith which is why the Minister of Rural De-velopment andLandReform,GugileNkwinti,made site visits to Bizana communities.“We understand the pressure that commu-

nities are under, especially as far as electrici-ty is concerned. But we cannot prioritise eve-rything and every community at once; peopleshould learn to be patient,” concludedTwabu.

Wawukewayivaphi institution yearly is on strike.Take note of this, new comers will never goon strike but strikers are those who spentyears in that university without succeedingin their studies. You know what, once some-one spends many years in one place he/sheends up taking that particular place or insti-

They were the ones who de-manded R1 and sent you to the shop to buywith a 5c and don’t forget in that 5c you needto come back with change. Those were the sil-ly deeds by the old students in school. Sostrong measures in WSU, must be implement-ed or those who are talking about academicexclusion of which they have eight years inthe university should be expelled or else wewill see strikes each and every year. “This isa honest veracity, gossip.” Bakhona abat-shoyo ngelixa abanye besinukunezangokuthetha inyani.

The problem with men they don’t want toreveal their sexual problems

Dear readers, recently we heard about theLimpopo man who came forward and divulgethe problem of his sleeping 4-5 since his birth.

Fortunately the guy was helped by pastorthrough prayers but after that we heard abouta number of men who were queuing to see thispastor. Ja, we know the men don’t like toshare these kinds of problems until one ofthem come clean and get helped. Even on thisExpress land there are many men who arefaced with this problem but they don’t spillthe beans instead they accuse their partnersof cheating or trap set (ukucupha) by theirmakhwaphenis (secret boyfriends). If you dohave a problem or you flopped accept it ung-abe ukhomba ebantwini. Like recently therewas a guy who is close to us who told us thathis first girlfriend had failed him in bed butthina we heard that he was a flop even in thepresent relationship. Kona ke shame bothiniukunga-floppy ebantwnini babobesolokobaz-ingxala ngotywala ntsuku zonke, soze wazinokuba it is your 4-5 or alcohol seized yourpower? And aba babafana abasayazi nale ntoekwakuthiwa zimbiza or ukuchatha if notukuspader.
