pated Lusiki Plaza

The plaza is expected to open its doors inApril 2015.The development will provide over

14 000m2of formalised retail for the local com-munity that presently travels large distancesto fulfil their retail needs.ThePlaza is situatednext to the existingRe-

gionalHospital on the edge of the currentCen-tral Business District, ensuring convenienceand resulting in the added benefit of upgradesto the current road infrastructure.The R150 million project will bring exten-

sive job opportunities and much needed de-velopment to the surrounding communities,with between 300 and 350 permanent directjob opportunities expected.Secondary employment opportunities are

estimated at 300 while the construction of thedevelopment, from start to completion, willsee approximately 400 construction jobs cre-ated. National retailers already committed tothe project include Shoprite, Truworths,Identity, Jet, Mr Price and Cashbuild.

According to the Director of Planning andDevelopment at Ingquza Hill Municipality,Owethu Pantshwa, the municipality played amassive role in terms of getting the project towhere it is now.“Part of the support the municipality has

given to this is through ensuring that all thestatutory requirements are fulfilled. Further-more, the municipality has allocated a por-tion of land for the purposes of ensuring thatthis Regional Centre is a success.”“Our LED strategy has prioritized invest-

ment attraction to our area by ensuring thatthe environment is conducive for investors.Our interest as the municipality is to ensurethat local labour and suppliers are given op-

portunities to sub-contract, through the busi-ness chamber.Wewill ensure the skills trans-fer process is clarified,” said Pantshwa.“We will ensure that all local stakeholders

are well vested with the opportunities thatcome along with developments of this natureand the municipality will ensure that localbusinesses not only benefit during the con-struction phase, but also post construction.These benefits will take the form of local busi-ness people owning shops in the shoppingcomplex,” said Phantshwa.He said during the construction phase, the

municipality will strongly encourage cooper-ation between different role players for thesuccess of this massive development.

THE Department of Health will be distributing 167ambulances and forensic vehicles throughout theprovince to fast track service delivery.

The official hand over by Health MEC Dr PumzaDyantyi took place at Tsolo junction recently.Dyantyi said theDepartment ofHealth is planning

to respond to cases within nomore than 40 minutes.“We want to change the norm of patients having

towait for ambulances or forensic vehicles and limitit to a reaction time of no more than 40 minutes,while taking into consideration the challenges ofroads in our rural areas,” said MEC.She added that jobs have also been created

through this programme.“More than 500 staffmembers have been recruited

to manage these ambulances. To ensure that theseambulances are not subjected to any sort of abuse,tracking devices have been fitted,” she said.Tsolo resident, Sizwe Mlungwana, said he hoped

the additional ambulances would help ease the situ-ation as many people have actually died while wait-ing for ambulances.“Getting anambulancewasahassle, especially for

us in rural areas.“Many times you will be told that the ambulance

is still attending to another case in an area far fromyours. From there they come to you with the othersick patient in the ambulance who might die on theway to hospital,” said Mlungwana.Health spokesperson SizweKupelo said the ambu-

lances would improve the quality of emergencyservices in the provincewhich has been getting neg-ative publicity due to delays in the transfer of pa-tients as well as delayed response times to emergen-cies.

The 15 women are from Nyosini, Rode inMount Ayliff, and the group was formed inthe Bomvini ward, under AmaHlubi TribalAuthority in 2008.Should they win in Port Elizabeth, the

group would stand a chance to represent theEastern Cape in Limpopo.Mbongiseni Radebe, chairperson of theDis-

trict and Provincial Cultural Structures, saidhehad joined the group as chairperson in 2009andmanaged to expose it as much as he couldsince the group had a rare talent of entertain-ing with their voices while stamping theirfeet and using whistles.“It gives me much pleasure to be part of

this wonderful group. I am proud of thesedancers, as they show so much passion fortheir art. Even though they have no outsidesupport fromsponsors to cover certain costs,I believe they will make it to the top,” saidRadebe.Their attire is made up of traditional

shweshwe skirts, necklaces and belts madeof beads, black head scarves and beer capswhich they tie around their feet to create anice sound which adds spice to their perfo-mance.

SENIORmembers of theMpondo Royal fam-ily have forbidden the appointment of Prin-cess Wezizwe Sigcau to succeed KingThandizulu Sigcau as they believe her to beagainst the Mpondo custom.

According to them she wasnever appointed as the right-ful successor and it was alsonot the prerogative of theQueen to choose a successor.“It is the Royal family that

is entrusted with the respon-sibility to identify a succes-sor, according to Mpondocustom. The Act on Tradi-tional Leadership in SA (Tra-ditional Leadership and Gov-ernance Act) also supportsthis,” said Princess StellaSigcau II a senior member ofthe Mpondo Royal family.The family also claims thatNkosi Zanozuko Sigcau hadnever had any legitimateclaim to the Kingship of amaMpondo, as hisfather Nkosi Zwelidumile’s claim that hewas entitled to Kingship, was invalid, be-cause he was a child born of ungeno – hisfather, King Nelson Sigcau, married PrinceMandlonke’s widow.She said King Thandizulu was uncustom-

ary and unconstitutionally deposed as King.He challenged this all the way to the consti-tutional court. He won posthumously in theConstitutional Court and his Kingship wasposthumously reinstated. The rightful suc-cessor of King Thandizulu – according to

Mpondo custom and next in line to succeedKing Thandizulu, who is the current cus-tomary head of the House of King Jongi-lizwe – is Nkosi Nzululwazi Sigcau, a SeniorTraditional Leader: Lwandlolubomvu Tra-ditional Council. He is the son of the brotherof King Thandizulu and grandson of son ofKing Botha and Queen Mamjoli Sigcau.

“Nkosi Nzululwazi’s fa-ther is the lateANCstalwartand liberation activist, Nko-si Ntsikayezwe Sigcau.There are absolutely noplans to appoint PrincessWezizwe as Queen. King-ship succession in theMpondo Kingdom as itstands does not allow prin-cesses and children born ofungeno to ascend to thethrone. The status quo re-mains. This has never evertaken place in the history ofKingship succession,” saidPrincess Sigcau.However, she said the

princesses had a significantand important role in the Kingdom, but rul-ing the Kingdom was not one of them.AmaMpondo had not expressed interest inchanging this custom.“This must not be mistaken for us having

anything against Nkosi Zanozuko and Prin-cessWezizwe. They are family, but we don’tsupport their claim to the throne and thewrong precedence they are trying to createon Kingship succession. As custodians ofamaKhosi custom, we are entrusted with aresponsibility to defend our custom againstdistortion,” concluded Stella.

FOLLOWING a number of articles Expressran about the poor state of the road to Bed-ford Orthopaedic Hospital in Mthatha, abrand-new access road was officiallyopened.

The MEC for the Department of Roadsand Public Works, ThandiswaMarawu, of-ficially opened the Bedford hospital roadlast week.The road was built to aid patients in the

former Transkei with getting to the ortho-paedic hospital.With it being Women’s Month, the MEC

firstly thanked the voters, especially fe-male voters, and said the road would bene-fitmostlywomenas statistics show that themajority of the patients at the BedfordHos-pital were women.“This is the perfect month in which to

launch this road. You can go and check inthe hospital; most of the patients there arewomen,” said Marawu.She continued to say that 2014 was the

year of implementation as instructed bythe President.Her department will be doing as in-

structed, as there are some other roadsthat were being constructed in the ORTambo region.The BedfordHospital tar road branches

off from the R61, through the Chris HaniTownship straight to the hospital.In the past few years the road to the hos-

pital was a gravel road which made ithard for the ambulances to get to the hos-pital.

THE King of AbaThembu, King BuyelekhayaDalindyebo, has declared that WinnieMadikizela-Mandela is according to customthe rightful head of the late Nelson RolihlahlaMandela’s homestead in Qunu.

This despite the divorce between her andthe late former statesman.

Buyelekhaya stated this during a mediaconference held in Bumbane Great Place inMthatha last week.

The King’s utterances follow a letter writ-ten by Madikizela-Mandela’s lawyer to one ofMandela’s estate executors, chief justice Dik-gang Moseneke, claiming that Nobandla –which is Madikizela-Mandela’s matrimonialname – should be the rightful head of Mande-la’s homestead in Qunu together with herchildren and grandchildren. During his ad-dress the king was accompanied by Madikize-la-Mandela’s lawyer, Mvuzo Notyesi.Dalindyebo

said that even though they were legally di-vorced, the status of the marriage remains

customary, because during their divorce theMandela family were never approached aboutthe matter. Therefore, according to the cus-tom, Nobandla is still Madiba’s wife unless le-gal changes were made during the divorce.

The first wife of Mandela, Evelyn, remar-ried and was buried with her new husbandmaking her not eligible as head of the home.Dalindyebo said, according to custom, evenEvelyn’s children belong to Nobandla.

“And mum Winnie will be buried atMadiba’s place because she is the head of thatfamily,” said the king.

Dalindyebo revealed that in 1989, Winnierequested a plot from him and after confer-ring with the elders, handed the plot to Win-nie. When tata Mandela was released fromprison, he visited the plot and was satisfiedwith it.

“So I support mum Winnie one hundredpercent. She is on track and she has no compe-tition,” said Dalindyebo.

He lambasted a comment of Chief Daludu-mo Mtirara who recently said WinnieMadikizela-Mandela was no longer the wifeof AbaThembu, claiming he was speaking on

THE King of AbaThembu BuyelekhayaDalindyebo, has stated publically that hefeels threatened following the revelationsthat he defaulted on the orders or conditionsof his appeal application.

Dalindyebo was addressing the media at

his residence, Bumbane Great Place, in Mt-hatha last week.

He got emotional during the media confer-ence while talking about his fear of being ar-rested.

He confirmed that the National Prosecut-ing Authority (NPA) had issued a warrantfor his arrest, but that the registrar in theMthatha High Court was refusing to sign it.

“Solemnly, I am shaking and feel threat-ened, because if I am arrested my bail will berevoked. Even though they said the defaultis on my side, I believe my appeal is in order.I made my application to the registrar in theEastern Cape, but they did not forward it tothe Supreme Court of Appeal.”

He said he is prepared to follow all meas-ures the court is instructing him to follow, be-

cause he does not want to be regarded asa defaulter. “There may be consequencesfor it being late, but it is not a default onmy side,” he said.

Dalindyebo was convicted of 10 counts ofculpable homicide, arson and kidnappingin 2009 and was sentenced with an optionto appeal, which he did against his convic-tions in the Supreme Court of Appeals.

AbaThembu king fears arrest

behalf of Royal family.“They are trying to drag ‘pumpkin politics’

into family matters, misleading people. Theytake advantage of this matter even thoughthey don’t understand the depth of it. They areconfusing the public. With regard to the issueof Nobandla. I’m ready to cooperate, becauseI know what went on from the beginning,”concluded King Buyelekhaya.

Madikizela-Mandela, who was the formerstatesman’s second wife for 38 years, was leftout of Mandela’s will, which was released inFebruary following his death on December 5,2013.

Madikizela-Mandela’s legal team is confi-dent that they would win the case and theywill be gathering all the facts from the Kingin support of their claim. Moseneke reported-ly acknowledged receipt of the letter and saidthe claim would be discussed tomorrow.

THE Engen KlevaKidz campaign, which edu-cates rural and township communities aboutthe safe handling and storage of paraffin, con-tinues to grow at a significant rate.

The initiative was launched six years ago,and by the end of 2013 had reached more than80 000 learners in close to 250 schools, locatedin areas where the household use of paraffinis widespread and paraffin-related accidentsare common.

“Over the next two years the campaign is

set to reach 90 000 learners aged 8 to 13 yearsin 300 schools,” said Tasneem Sulaiman-Bray,Engen’s General Manager: Corporate Affairs.

This year’s KlevaKidz campaign kicked offat Mankurwane, Kimberley, in the NorthernCape, followed by, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Na-tal, and ended off AT Palmerton Junior Prima-ry School in Lusikisiki on August 29.

As the name suggests, the KlevaKidz cam-paign delivers an empowering messagethrough edutainment about safe handling andstorage of paraffin, and what to do in an emer-gency.

It is aimed at children aged between 8 and

13 years old.“Over the years of involvementwe have be-

come aware that children of this age are oftenthe primary daytime caregivers of theiryounger brothers and sisters. It is with thisinmind thatwe target themwith themessageof safety,” said Sulaiman-Bray.

TheKlevaKidz production is an interactiveeducational stage drama that raises aware-ness of the dangers associated with handlingand storing paraffin and how to prevent acci-dents from taking place. The production usesa television quiz show environment as a vehi-cle for relaying the message, which is com-

bined with a jingle.“We have found edutainment to be a pow-

erful medium to stimulate children’s imagi-nation.

What is even more rewarding is to hearchildren of four years old still singing theparaffin safety jingle afterwards,” said Su-laiman-Bray.

Research commissioned by Engen in 2011,which benchmarked the before and after ofthe first KlevaKidz campaign, illustratedthat awareness improved from 24% to 90%andchanged thebehaviourofmore than80%of participants.

ASpart of its commitment tomakingbankingmore accessible to all in South Africa, Ned-bank launched its first “Branch of the Fu-ture” in Lusikisiki recently.

The launchof thenewbranch is yet anotherstep of many, in a nationwide roll-out follow-ing the opening of several branches in Gau-teng, KwaZuluNatal, theWesternCape,Mpu-malanga and Limpopo.

The “Branch of the Future” concept was in-troduced in 2012 as part of the bank’s client-centred approach, to continue delivering achoice of distinctive experiences and chan-nels of choice for its personal and businessbanking clients, enabled through state of theart technology.

Dave Schwegmann, Nedbank’s ManagingExecutive Branch Network at Nedbank, saidthe newbranchwould serve the local individ-ual andbusiness communityofLusikisiki, in-cluding Ingquza and surrounding areas, byproviding full banking services.

“We are delighted to bring the ‘Branch ofthe Future’ concept to the Eastern Cape,building on our presence in the province. Webelieve this will go a long way in enablinggreater financial inclusion and contributing

towards economic growth and social devel-opment in our society.”

Schwegmann pointed out that, while ac-cessibility to financial services remained akey driver,more andmore clientswere look-ing to do banking in aunique, convenient en-vironment, where all their needs are met.

“Listening to andunderstanding theneedsof our clients, are vital pillars in ensuringthat our strategy is agile enough to adapt tofast-changing client needs, in order to im-prove the client experience and efficiency ofthe branch network.

Certainly technological advancementswould continue to be a catalyst in enhancingthe experience; however, the role of a per-sonal touchby our staffwhobring the bank’svision to life in their daily interactions withnew and existing clients, is a key differentia-tor for Nedbank,” said Schwegmann.

Thiswas evidenced byNedbank’s achieve-ment of first prize for a second consecutiveyear in the Banking category at the annualSouthAfrican Service Awards, which recog-nise leaders in customer-centred serviceacross five industries (banking, short terminsurance, telecommunications, securityand travel).

In keeping with its values of giving backto communities,Nedbankconducted a seriesof consumer education and sustainabilityworkshops in Lusikisiki leading up to thelaunch, to share financial fitness principleswith the community and to create awarenessfor preserving the environment.

The bank also donated soccer kit to theKwaNompumelelo and Mavela Junior Sec-ondary Schools.

“Community and youth development is abusiness imperative in our quest to build Af-rica’s most admired bank. We look forwardto partnering with the community of Lusik-isiki, aimed at empowering people here tobuild financial fitness and achieve their as-pirations – to truly ‘Make Things Happen’,”Schwegmann concluded.

YOU know what, when you see someone wholooks like he or she is seized by alcohol or bythewrongact on thisworld, don’t throwa tow-el to that particular person.

It’s just that God is still paving his or herway if not moulding his or her pot. There arepeople out there who are regarded as beinguseless people but later on you will see suchpeople againmoving forward in life, and theirappearance changed totally.Wemet an astonishment of our lives recent-

lywhenwemet a ladywhoused tobeout theredrinking as if there was no tomorrow.She had a professional Phuza Face, because

wayengathi ulala khona avukele kubo. Nowthe lady is a decentwoman and she ismarriedto a very handsome guy who met her in thesemnandi places.Uyabona ke ukuba kuyabhaqeka nakwezi

ndawo nangona nje abaninzi bengazi thandincam. Jonga ngoku u-sisters ufumene umye-ni. Inene umntu xa engakafumani umntu wa-khe kuye kungathi akasoze amfumane andabeyinto nje nawe ozixelela ukuba soze it-shintshe.Siyakubulelela wethu ntombi, uwugcine

umendo wakho kuba unqabile and ke kuthi-wa emendweni kuyanyamezelwa.Obviously, uyivile intlupheko yaphaya ety-

waleni nekulapho uzibona sele unendodaekumark (leyo) nokuba ubungafuni ndodaumoshe nje ngokusela utywala bayo ekuth-ingileyo.

Asidingi kwazi mbali yenu

Bafethu everybody on thisExpress land hashis or her own secrets of which we don’t wantto hear about. Kusikhathaze kakhuluokuthethwe ngomnye umjita kwi-vrou yo-mnye umjita nekucaca ukuba babehambisangexesha lobutsha babo mara ngokuakuthethi ukuthi makahambe esima ngayeapha ebantwini ukuba wayenjani ngelixababesathandana.Loo nto leyo mfethu ibifuna wena nentlizi-

yo yakho ungabe uhamba uthetha ngo-vrouwenye i-outie.Even nalo wakho zikhona izinto awazenza-

yo namanye amadoda ebuntombini bakhemara abahambi bethethangaye. Loonto yazi-wa babo neentliziyo zabo.Uvile ke boet? Asiyithandanga daai ding.

Akufuneki intombazana ide ibe nje

Nokuba ingateketiswa ngayiphi indlelayokusela kwamantombazana mara ayikhosharp.It’s worse ke xa ide itsho ngomphanda (nge-

vumba lotywala eliphuma emlonyeni). Ku-bangcono xa kuyindoda kuba kwayona le ntoyotywala kuthiwa kukutya kwamadoda. Wewere driving ourTuru turu 2 on ourway fromtown.We saw a ‘yellow bone’ girl and we decided

to stop and offer her a lift, nanokuthi ke besi-funa ukuchitha ixesha ngokuba khona komn-tu wasetyhini esizoncokola naye. Futhi keshame kwacaca ukuba sifumene umntu o-right ongazibekanga phantsi. Mara siphoxwenje yinto enye kuye xa evula umlomo kutshoenye into yevumba nekuvakalayo ukuba lele-jiki and liselwe ku-sister becausebekusekuseni ngoku simthathayo. Hey!Bekusala kona ukuba uke wathetha wajon-

amacherrie aselayo asengxakini kuba alim-nandanga kwaphel ela vuma.Or sisi before ubethe istratomake it a point

that amazinyo or umlomo wakho uhlanjiweungahambi unukisela abantu apha phandleuyi yellow bone. Injalo moss.

How can you propose love in a funeral?

There are strange thingswhich are in domi-nance on the Express land in these days.As you know according to our culture fu-

neral is a decent place where you cannot actor behave strangely because relatives andfriends are mourning for the deceased.But there are guys who don’t care or don’t

respect that process of a funeral.We were attended a funeral in Cofimvaba

last weekendwhenwe saw a guy literally pro-posing love at a funeral.Ebengasathathini inumber then imposes

his proposal later on.But honestly, there is no more respect for

funerals because now there are after tearswhich turn a funeral to be a party.Shame, nqanda Baba our generation is go-

ing down the drain.

He urged people who were running theclubs to be strong even if there were no spon-sors. “Here we are trying to develop the talentof our children, so we need to pay attention.”

He advised City to have a development team

so that the young players would be able toshow their talent from a young age.

Awards that were handed out includedProspect of the Season that went to Athi Nan-to, and awards for provincial colours went toNcedo Sivuka and Athi Nanto who were re-cently selected to represent the under 21 East-ern Cape team. Most disciplined player wasPumla October while the Players’ Player ofthe Season award went to Puso Setlayela.

Technical official of the season was LuckyMpompi; Chairman’s Award went to Thabo

Jonga the team captain; Footballer of the sea-son Nkosibonke Robson Ncele and lifeachievement award went to Bukelwa Mahaga.

City is expected to contest in the Vodacomleague next season, joining teams from ORTambo such as the Thembu Royals, MthathaBucks, Zimbane Killers and Champion fromIngquza Hill Municipality.

City made the people of OR Tambo proudduring the provincial play offs played at Aliw-al North recently and became victors, whichsecured them a space in the Vodacom League.
