COWSneglectedby their ownersin the Greater Edendale areaare causing havoc for road

users, home owners and ordinaryresidents.

It has becomenormal that a drivein Dambuza, Snathing, Esigodini,Machibisa, Azalea, Sweetwaters andMoses Mabhida Road will bedisturbed by herds of cattle whichcriss-cross the busy roads unattend-ed.

Motorists and residents spoke to

Echo about the stray cows that areregularly seen in these areas.

A Snathing resident, BongiweMchunu, said that this is common intheSnathingarea,calledHsection. Inthis area, one would find herds ofcattle blocking the road and sleepingandsitting in thebussheltersat somebus stops, she said.

“It’s familiar to see these animalsontheroadsunguarded.Theanimalsdon’t care whether they are on theroads or on people’s premises.

Atthemoment, theissuemightnotbetakenseriouslybecauseithasdoneno majorharm,but it’s very impor-

tant.Onedaytheseanimalsmightbevi-

olent to pedestrians or others,” saidMchunu.

SlovoZondifromAzaleasaidinhisarea, the issuehasbeen taken care ofby the owners of the animals. It wasa concern, especially on peoplespremises, said Zondi.

“The cattle would get insidepeople’s yards and scratch them-selvesonthewalls.Thescratchingleftthe walls marked with the blood ofticks.Itmightbethattheownerswerewarnedaboutthisbutlately,theytaketheir stock to the mountain every

morning,” he said.Ward 12 councillor Sboniso

Majola, said the stock subject hasbeen discussed on numerous occa-sions at community meetings.

“This is very serious but the stockownersare turningablindeye.Therehave been complaints from manywards, includingward11.Peoplearecomplaining that cows sleep on theroad.

There are similar complaintsabout thestock thatwalksaround theGreaterEdendaleMall. This drags usback in terms of development in ourareas,” said Majola.

Msunduzi Municipality spokes-person,BrianZuma,said themunici-pality is aware of the problem as it isnot something new.

He said they are in the process oflaw enforcement that will lead to thecattle being take to the pound wherethe owners will have to pay fines fortheir release.

“It is a relief to note that it is veryrare to hear of an accident involvingcows. In most cases, it’s wanderingdogs that get killed by cars.

However, it is true that these cowsposealotofdangertomotorists.”saidZuma.

‘Enough isenough’ asresidents arefed up withcrimeNOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>nompendulo.ngubane@mye­cho.co.za

INCREASING incidents of theft inthe Nhlazatshe area has left theresidentswith no other choice thantoresuscitate theirdefunctcommu-nity policing forum (CPF).

According to the CPF, and com-munity member Mduduzi Dlamini,the recent crimes have been an eyeopener and motivated them torelaunch the CPF.

Dlamini said recent incidents ofcar andhousebreakings havebeenhigh in the area.

Hesaid lastyearalone,ninecarswere broken into and stripped ofstereosandspeakers.Thestrippingof cars radios is not the only crimein the area, as this is coupled withhouse breakings.

“We had a CPF that workedtirelessly in 2012. With that struc-ture being hands on, the criminalactivity decreased in the area.Seeing that the residents werebehaving as the CPF, we wererelaxed. As from last year, themembers of the structure were nolonger together. Last year thethieves started misbehaving. Theystarted breaking into peopleshousesandstealingTVs,radiosandany other fancy items they couldfind.Asmembersofthecommunity,we saw a need for putting backtogether theCPF to fight theft,” saidDlamini.

Bongiwe Mchunu fromNhlazatshesaidtheftandmuggingsare very high in the area.

“Last year we had many housebreakings and muggings. One tuckshopownerwasbeatenandrobbedof items from the shop. He left thearea after that incident,” said Mc-hunu.

Dlamini said they will have ameeting with the ward councillorSipho Madonda to discuss therelaunch of the CPF.

Outcry follows heftyelectricity tariff hikesNOKULUNGANGOBESE

CITY’s business ownerswill be happy to hear thattheNationalElectricityRegulatorofSouthAfrica(Nersa) has ordered the municipality to reverse

tariff hikes that were exorbitantly increased late lastyear.

Thedecisioncomesamidthreatsbysmallbusiness-es to close downas they cannot keep upwith the 900%increase.

Although the municipality claims to have been or-dered by Nersa to increase its tariffs, it has been re-vealed that it was applying its tariffs incorrectly.

AccordingtoreportsbytheWitnessnewspaper,Pie-termaritzburg Chamber of Business (PCB) CEO Mela-nie Veness read out a letter on the reversal, sent to herbyNersa, toapackedmeetingat theChamberonMon-day.

The letter written by Nersa’s CEO Phindile Balenireads: “It has come toNersa’s attention that theMsun-duziMunicipality isnot implementingNersaapprovedtariffsforthefollowing:DomesticHigh(80A),DomesticHigh (100A),Commercial conventional single phase and conven-tional three phase. The basic charges that Nersa ap-provedforthesetariffcategories ismadeupofthebasicchargesandthenetamperechargesappliedbythemu-nicipality.However, inthecurrentyear, themunicipali-ty implemented the basic charges and net amperecharges separately, resulting in double counting of thenet ampere charges”.

The letter further said that the municipality is re-quired to effect the necessary corrections in its imple-mented tariffs.

SpeakingtoEchoabout thedecision,smallbusinessownerPrettyMadelaofPOAcademysaid that thedeci-sioncameattherighttimebecauseshewasonthevergeof closing down.

“Thesechargeswereabitunfair,takingintoaccountthat this was added on top of the current account ofR800 that I paymonthly, andwith the tariff increases,I had to pay an extra R900, which is too much. Somesmall business owners have closed down because ofthis.Weappeal tothemunicipality togiveusthecorrectfigures,” she said.

NormanMkhize of Normans driving school sharedthe same sentiments, saying that the hikes were toomuch.

DA councillor Megan Chetty said that Nersa’s deci-sion also means that the municipality will have to goback to thedrawingboardwhen it comes to the flawedbudget that it passed last year.

“Weare requesting themunicipality to place an im-mediate moratorium on the escalated bills and reim-burse those businesses who have already payed time-ously. A 900% increase in electricity would have killedlocal businesses and jobs,” he said.

Why I am falling in love with

SOCIALISM>> In light of the highcost of living, as aparent, I am startingto like it.

IMUSThavesurprisedmylatepoetbrotherMlungisiMkhizewhowasan unrepentant socialist, when I

made it known to him that I did notagree with socialism as a youngerperson.

Well, I havealways thoughtofmy-self as a pragmatic person, and thatmeans I have always felt that social-ism was not in line with human na-ture,whichIsawas inherentlyselfishand corrupt.

It did not matter to me then thatmy brother was a close friend of aSouth African Communist Party(SACP) leader, the nowNationalMin-ister of Education, Blade Nzimande,during Nzimande’s days when heworked for the thenUniversity of Na-tal at the Ethekwini campus.

Ineverusedto likesocialism,even

though the person who introducedme to these –isms properly, my sec-ondary school commerce teacher,MrsThandoMokoana,was ahealthyfence–sitter. In other words, she didnot take sides with any of these eco-nomic systems when she taught useconomics as a subject as early asstandard seven atmy dream–school,Amakholwa High, in the greaterEdendale area.

Fortunately forme,my latebroth-er and intellectual darlingdidnot im-pose his views on me. He was quiteliberal in that he encouraged criticalthinking.Helikedtocitehistorical fig-ureswhohadusedcapitalistmethodstoenabletheircountriestobecomevi-ableandbebetterabletoshouldertheresponsibilities of launching socialistprogrammes.

But nowadays when I hear that acertaincompanyhasbeenshutdownandbreadwinnerswhosupportfami-lies are going to bewithout jobs, I be-come depressed and consequentlyunimpressed with capitalism, or thefree enterprise system, for being likean over–rated prostitute.

WhenIhearmygovernment’scur-rent nationalminister of health, Aar-on Motsoaledi, criticising the veryhighpricestheprivatesectorischarg-ing for medicine in this capitalistcountry, I become very disappointedwith the free enterprise system.

For instance, Iwas not impressedatallwhenIhad to forkoutR5000 foraminor operation in a private hospi-taloverayearago.Mymedicalaidon-lypaid just overR1000of the totalR6000 that was charged for removing a

rathersmall lumpoffmychest. Iwon-dered when my government’s Na-tional Health Insurance (NHI) planwill begin to touch my life.

Imustsaythat itexcitedmeagreatdeal when I was younger to hear of aquote from a European free enter-prise promoter, Adam Smith, whichread,“Throughhigherpricesweshallbe buying a better quality of life.”

I know that one of the things thatupsetmegreatly about socialismandcommunismwas the knowledge thatpoliticalpartybosses inMoscow,whowere in charge of the Union of SovietSocialist Republics (USSR), were al-legedly corrupt and greedy.

Hence, when Mikhail Gorbachevbecame president of the USSR andfreed that part of the Eastern blockfromwhatwasgenerallyperceivedas

the shackles of socialism and rigidcentralism which saw many coun-tries under the USSR becoming trulyfree for the first timeduringhispresi-dency, I was in awe.

IreallythoughttheWesthadalltheanswers to the world’s challenges.Alas, I was wrong. I do not think thatway anymore.

Asaparent Iknowhowheavilywepayforfood,education,health,trans-port or soaringpetrol prices, housingrent or bond, municipal services etc.My late brother,Mlu,must be smilingin his grave – the Freedom Charterthathecherishedusedtosoundideal-istic and almost unreal to me when Iwas younger. As a parent, I am start-ing to like it.

kusuke kungesikhona ukwenza okuhle ku­bantu abahluphekayo, kodwa kungezinyeizinhloso.Yebo, bayasizakala labo abakhelwa izind­lu ngoba asikezwa ukuthi bazokhokhiswangazo. Ngakhoke kufanele babongwe laboabazakhayo. Kodwa okwenza kube nzimaukubabonga ukuthi kubona nengane en­cane ukuthi inhloso yabo akukhona uku­siza abahluphekile.Imibuzo efika ngokushesha uma kucuts­

“THE country must not pan-ic, we are still a great na-tion, a great talent, still

alive and let’s doourbusiness asusu-al”.

Thesewere thewordsofSouthAf-rican Football Association (Safa)president Danny Jordaan after Bafa-naBafana crashed out of the ongoingAfrican Nations Championships(Chan) after losing 3–1 to Nigeria.

This week, Jordaan told the Echothat therewasnoneed forSouthAfri-cans or commentators to act on im-pulse, but agreed that a couple ofchanges are needed in order to im-proveand take thestandardof soccerto the next level.

“I understand the majority of usare angry but let’s not stop thinkingwiselyanddoeverythingaccordinglyand at the right time,” said Jordaan.

Jordaan said his organisationwould meet early next month to dis-cuss a new kit sponsor, a new namefor the national team and possibly anew technical team as well.

“We are facing three challenges –anew technical sponsor, a newnamefor the team, andwemust review thepreparation, philosophy and thetechnical side of things.”

Does this mean Gordon Igesund’sdays are numbered as the BafanaBafana head coach?

“Peoplemust be careful here. No-body said Igesund was leaving aftertheChantournament.There’sanoffi-cial contract between Safa and thecoach that needs to be respected.When it expires thenwe can again sitdown and review the performance ofthe teamand its technical team”, saidJordaan.

Insiders at Safa headquarters inNasrec believe the next Bafana Bafa-naheadcoachmaycomefromAfrica.

“Looks like Safa, especially Jor-daanistiredofhearingthesamethingthat African soccer giants like Niger-ia, Ghana, Ivory Coast and others are

andwearedismissive.Wedon’tknowthemso they can’t be very good”.
