ALLEGATIONS of corruption,mismanagement and poorworkmanship in the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality’shuman settlements department

have been confirmed by a municipal spokes-person as key challenges for this beleagureddepartment.

This comes after the minister for HumanSettlements, Lindiwe Sisulu, announcedthat national government would be takingover the metro’s human settlements func-tion with an injection of R4.6 billion randover the next four years to fast-track housingdelivery.Spokesperson for the Nelson Mandela Bay

Municipality, Mthubanzi Mniki, said keychallenges in their department of human set-tlements included late payment of contract-ors due to the late transfer of funding; failureof people to formally report allegations ofcorruption in housing delivery; poor work-manship by contractors; the letting of RDPhouses to businesses; the selling of RDPhouses and invasion of land.Xolani Xundu, spokesperson for the De-

partment of Human Settlements, said thehousing backlog stands at 72 411, comprising32.3% informal settlements and 67.7% back-yard shacks. In the 2011 Census, the figurewas 47 442.The municipality has had a delivery rate

of about 2 000 per financial year.Xundu said he wanted to dispel rumours

that the national department had lost faithin the municipality and said that they wererather working in tandem with the munici-pality to accelerate the delivery process.However, according to a report by the The

Herald newspaper on Monday, the interven-tion was aimed at cracking down on corrup-tion by municipal and government officialsthat has crippled the metro’s human settle-ments department.

THE long awaited and much calledfor state-run in-patient drug treat-ment centre for young people in theEastern Cape will open in NelsonMandela Bay in July.

This week the MEC for Social De-velopment,Nancy Sihlwayi,was partof a delegation that embarked on aroadshow in theNorthernSuburbs topromote the services of the treatmentcentreas this areahasbeen identifiedas a particularly high risk area forsubstance abuse according to STATSSA.The facility, named theErnestMal-

gasTreatment centre,will be situatedin New Brighton, hosting 38 childrenbetween 13 and 18 years for a residen-tial treatment period of 9 weeks, fea-turing a multi-disciplinary ap-proach.The centre is expected to be opera-

tionalmid-July after the building hasbeen completed. The first group ofservice users will commence treat-ment by the end of July.With treatment in private drug re-

habilitation centres costing overR350 000, there has been a great needfor a state-run facility for parentswho cannot afford to have their chil-dren admitted to private centres.Local director of the South African

National Council on Alcoholism andDrug Dependence (SANCA), ZarinaGhulam, said they had been waitinga long time for such an initiative totake place in the metro.“We are now facedwith a new drug

called krokodil which is fast becom-ing a huge problem among the youth.Becauseweare anout-patient facilityonly, this centre (as an in-patient fa-cility) will make it easier for us tocombat drug use in the city. We arein urgent need of this facility and itcould not have comeat a better time,”said Ghulam.Ghulam said SANCA treats over 60

people monthly and in the past 6months 50% of those have beenyouths under 18 years of age.

SANCA said the drug of choice foryoung people was still tik but the opi-umkrokodilwhich ismixedwithvar-ious chemicals and chlorine, and sold

at R50 a pill, was quickly catching up.PracticeManager at the StepAway

Treatment Centre, Sandra de Villi-ers, said she was delighted with thenew centre promoted by the depart-ment of social development as thereare no facilities for minors.“We fully support this as we get

many inquiries for minors whom wecannot assist,” she said.De Villiers said Step Away was a

registered treatment facility with theDepartment of Social Developmentfor people 18 years and older.“We offer a 21-day in-patient treat-

ment programme functioning with amulti-disciplinary team consisting ofa psychologist, drug counsellor andtwo social workers,” De Villiers said.De Villiers said the cost for the 21-

day programme is R28 000.“Obtaining a licence for minors

from the Department of Social Devel-opment is a huge undertaking be-cause minors need educational pro-grammes and the expense of runningsuch a programme is very high. Thiscould be a reason why it has takenthis long for a state centre to beopened.”

THE Animal Welfare Society say thecurrent outbreak of dog distemper inthe Walmer Township area of NelsonMandela Bay is the worst they haveseen and urgent interventions areneeded to prevent a spread to otherpartsof thecityof thisverycontagiousand potentially fatal disease.Port Elizabeth Animal Welfare So-

ciety (AWS) director Hannes Standersaid theywereworkinghard to identi-fy the affected dogs and spread aware-ness of the recent outbreak of caninedistemper among dogs in theWalmertownship.Stander said the outbreak was the

worst he had seen in his 14 years atAWS.

“The challenge is the fact that wedon’t know how far and deep it hasspread which is making this job diffi-cult.“Unfortunately there is no cure for

distemper, but the disease can be pre-vented by inoculations,” he said.Stander said dogs with the disease

display symptoms of loss of appetite,coughing and runny nose, thick mu-cus coming from the eyes and nose,vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and lethar-gy.“It’s important for owners to con-

tact the local vet immediately. If youdo not have the means or are in theWalmer township area, you can con-tact us for help,” said Stander.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Munici-pality Public Health directorate saidresidentswho cannot afford the servi-ces of a veterinarian, must urgentlycall theMunicipalDogControl Inspec-torate at 041 506 1743.“On receiving a call, a team of offi-

cials will be dispatched to the resi-dent’s home to take a look at the dogand discuss its condition and symp-toms with the owner. If suspicion ex-ists that thedoghas indeedcontracteddistemper, the animal will be takenaway to the SPCA and may be putdown,” said Mthubanzi Mniki, Mu-nicipal spokesperson.Mniki saidmunicipal officialswere

already out inWalmer Township and

the surrounding areas educating peo-ple about the disease and what needsto be done when it is detected.“The disease is passed from dog to

dog through direct contact with freshurine, blood or saliva. Sneezing,coughing and sharing food and waterbowls are all possible ways for the vi-rus to be passed on.“Residents could clean and disin-

fect (with bleach) their dog’s kennel,food and water bowls and their ownhome to help prevent the virus fromspreading.“Puppies and dogs which have not

been vaccinated and received theirdistemper shots are especially proneto the disease.

“We plead for the cooperation andunderstanding of our residents dur-ing this period and that they appreci-ate that the Municipality is acting inthe best interests of the health andsafety of the canine population of Nel-son Mandela Bay,” said Mniki.

.According to www.vippetca-re.com canine distemper is a highlycontagious and often fatal viral dis-ease.Distemper primarily affects pup-

pies and younger dogs, but can infectand be potentially fatal in dogs of anyage. This disease is not transmissibletohumansorcats.Caninedistemper’shigh fatality rate makes vaccinationessential. – REPORTER

Contineud from page 1According to the report, munici-

pal officials who were not party tothe corruption, were threatenedand security had to be beefed up toprotect these officials – includinghuman settlements executive di-rector, Lindile Petuna.Mniki said it was not only Petu-

na’sofficesecuritythathadbeenup-graded, but alsohis personal securi-ty was increased 10 months ago toinclude bodyguards after a securityanalysis was done owing to threatsagainst his life.DA leader in theNMBMetro,Ret-

iefOdendaal, said therewereallega-tions of fraudulent and corruptpractices in the directorate and afew months before the MayoralCommittee Chairperson for thisportfolio, Cllr Mkavu, was assassi-

nated in Uitenhage.“It was widely speculated that he

wasonthebrinkofexposingcertaincorrupt practiceswithin this direct-orate. It is clear that to this daycouncil has no control over some ofits officials in this directorate. Thiscan be highlighted by the fact thata number of officials in this direct-orate still required personal protec-tion by bodyguards.”Odendaal said they were gravely

concerned about the state of hous-ing in the Metro and were also notsurprised that the National Depart-ment of Housing had been asked tointervene.“Asmentionedwehaveabacklog

of over 80 000 housing units whichshould bebuilt andnearlyhalf of allRDP houses, which have been builtin the Metro post 1994, are in dire

need of rectification. Some 39 000housingunits have to be rectified inonewayoranother,”saidOdendaal.He said if adequate checks and

balances were put in place thereshould be no room for corruption.“There is no doubt that localSMMEs must be taken on board soas to ensure that they benefit fromthe projects.”Human Settlements ministerial

spokesperson, Ndivhuwo Mabaya,said minister Sisulu in her budgetvote committed30%of thebudget togoing to small contractors whowould be supported through train-ing.Mabaya said SMMEs would also

be partneredwith big contractors ifnecessary. The Housing Develop-ment Agencywould also workwithsmall contractors.

WOMEN from all over the countrywho selflessly make a difference inthe lives of the needy and poor, weretreated to a stay in Nelson MandelaBay as part of theCloverMamaAfri-ka Smarties Week.

The Clover Mama Afrika cam-paign identifies hard working wom-en who, with limited resources oftheir own and sometimes throughsponsorships from good Samari-tans, selflessly give their time andenergy to feed the poor and hungryin their communities.“The Clover Mama Afrika team

has, for over 10 years, worked hardto sharpenwomen’s skills and equipthem to lead their communities byfeeding the hungry and assistingwith employment among communi-ty members who were in need ofwork,” said Clover Mama AfrikaCorporate Service Manager, Profes-sor Elain Vlok.“For the first time this year, we

took these hard-working women toexperience the annual SmartiesWeek in Nelson Mandela Bay as a

thank you for their hard work intheir communities,” said Prof.Vlok.The exercise started with a team-

building session at Hobie Beachsponsored by Tropika to welcomethe mamas.During the three days’ workshop

she helped mamas work on mosaictiling of tables and chairs as well assharpening their skills in flower ar-ranging and baking in linewith thisyear’s theme, “Pride and Joy”.One of the aims of the skills devel-

opment week was to expose thewomen to things that would helpbuild their projects at home.And, in return for the hospitality

they received in the metro, the Clo-ver Afrika Mamas made an im-mense contribution by sponsoringKhaya Cheshire Home which looksafter orphaned and vulnerable chil-dren in theWalmer/Gqebera Town-ship.“It was fulfilling for us to be able

to bring the mamas to a city thatsomehaveonlyheardof or travelledthrough before,” said Vlok, addingthat she thought the experience hadbeen really special for the mamas. Clover Mama Afrika kick-started the Smarties Week with a team building session at Hobie Beach. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

NICKY WILLEMSE

THENelsonMandela Metropolitan Universi-ty’s accounting winter school programme,geared towards helping Grade 11 and 12 pu-pils improve their marks and their chancesof attending university, boasts an impressivetrack record.

Almost a third of the 520 pupils who attend-ed last year’s Grade 12 winter school success-fully registered for degrees or diplomas atNMMU.

An analysis comparing their June matricresults with their December results has re-vealed that many of them shot up by as muchas 30%.

Overall, more than half showed improvedresults from June to December.

LyleRessouw, oneof thewinter school’s topachievers last year, came third in the prov-ince overall in December.

This year’s week-long accounting winterschool for Grade 12s, sponsored by Deloitte,takes place from June 29 to July 3, while thethree-day Grade 11 winter school, sponsoredby PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC), takesplace from July 7 to 9.

Ansulene Prinsloo, NMMU Accounting 1lecturer and coordinator ofNMMU’s account-ing winter school programme, said, “Themain aim of the accounting winter schools isto help pupils obtain higher AdmissionPoints Scores (APS), which is their entranceticket to higher education.”

NMMU first-year BComRat (Computer Sci-ence) student and Tegkor busary holder Lut-hando Mbaza, 19, who attended the Grade 12school last year, said the individual attentionpupils received in the winter school’s tutorialgroups had helped him change his approachto accounting – leading to a 10% improvementinhismatric results. “The tutorials helpedmerealise that I needed to understand account-ing, not just memorise it.”

He said the winter school had also made for

an “easier transition” into varsity life thisyear. “I knew where everything was; I didn’tget lost.”

NMMU first-year BCom Rat (Economics)student Sumaiya Moses, 18, a recipient ofNMMU’s prestige Vice-Chancellor’s Scholar-ship for top-performing matrics, said last

year’s winter school had helped her identifyher weak areas – and her marks had also im-proved by about 10%.

The Grade 12 winter school covers the en-tire matric curriculum, while the Grade 11school covers the four main topics of theGrade 11 accounting curriculum.

“These are all topics that pupilswill contin-ue studying in Grade 12,” said Prinsloo. “Thefoundation ofGrade 11 is so important – if thisfoundation is not solid enough, they are goingto battle in Grade 12 ... Pupils also don’t real-ise the importance of their Grade 11 marks –these also have to be sent in with their formswhen applying to study at a university.”

The winter school programme is taught us-ing the school of accounting’s teachingmodel– which includes a combination of lectures,tutorial classes and homework.

Tutors for the second year in a row includesecond-year BCom (Chartered Accounting)students and members of NMMU’s prestigePinnAcle Leadership Programme, RoxanneWeiss and Jessica Chemaly, both of whom at-tended NMMU winter schools when theywere at school.

As a tutor, Weiss, 20, said, it was encourag-ing to see pupils trying to improve theirmarks in the tutorials. “Some of them comefrom schools where they don’t have teachersor textbooks.”

Chemaly, also 20, said: “I love seeing themgrasping concepts and asking questions ...The lecturers really know what they’re talk-ing about and the pupils are able tomake con-nections they didn’t know in class. Account-ing makes so much more sense.”

Attendees at thewinter schools also receivecareer and bursary information – and aretaught how to apply to university.

In addition to providing funding to coverthe operating costs of the schools, DeloitteandPwCaredonating files for everyattendee,aswell as 60 luckydrawprizes.Therewill alsobe prizes for the top three participants aswellas the most improved pupil. These include aSamsung Galaxy Tablet and gift vouchersworth R1 000, R500 and R350.

Attendance for the Grade 11 or Grade 12 ac-counting winter schools costs R60 per pupil.To book your place, contact Jolandri van derWalt on 041 504 4690 or email jolandri.vander-walt@nmmu.ac.za.

FEISTY Amanda Bulelwa Nyoka, makeupartist and senior producer of BayTV’schildren’s magazine programme, Big I Upis determined to go places.

And with her positive attitude it seemsnothing will stand in her way.Nyoka, of Zwide Township Port Eliza-

beth, has brushed the faces of the who’swho in South African celeb circles, likeZahara, Ntando, Mthunzi Namba and Pas-tor Jabu Hlongwane of Joyous Celebra-tion Fame, among others.Born 26 years ago to Nondyebo Mantile

(a farm worker) and Silulami Nyoka, aGoodYear SA employee in Uitenhage, andraised ezifama zama-orenji (in the orangefarms) in Addo, prides herself on havingstarted at the bottom but destined forgreatness - in the not too distant future.After passing matric at Sisonke High

School, KwaNobuhle in 2009, Nyoka en-rolled for a marketing course and quali-fied with NQF 4 in 2011. In 2012 she dida short stint as a waitress but realised thatthis was not for her.“I enjoyed the idea of working and earn-

ing money but realised that I was not hap-py. This was not for me,” she reminisced,adding that at the time she was busy tak-ing care of her own facials and looks andwould also help a few of her friends whowanted to look gorgeous.“By God’s grace, a friend of mine heard

that BayTV was looking for an intern formakeup. Knowing that I loved doingmakeup she told me. And, as they say, therest is history,” said Nyoka, explainingthat after three months training, she gotthe internship job and later started theFilm, Video and Television Productioncourse offered through Footprint Media,which she completed this year.Asked what she enjoyed the most about

her job she retorted, “I love everything Iam doing here. As a senior producer,working with children, giving instruc-tions and being in charge is fulfilling.And, doing makeup to all these celebritiesthat visit BayTV and of course the factwith my job I can still have time to per-form my other business outside of work.Her future plans? “To work for SABC,

eTV or MNet as well as having my own TVproduction company.”

ZWIDE-born Motherwell and MpumalangaBlack Aces player Zamxolo Eddie Ngalostretched his helpful hand to ShowvillageUnited FC to which he donated a set of kit onSunday.

According to Ngalo, the motive behind thedonation to Showvillage was to support thelocal football team. Ngalo said that he under-stood the plight of the local soccer teams;hence he was convinced that his donationwould lift the spirit of Showvillage FC play-ers.“I started football here in Port Elizabeth

and I know what it takes to run a club. Ourclubs do not have financial resources. WhenI met Showvillage coach Lukhanyo Wasasome time ago, I told him that I want to helpShowvillage because Wasa and his club arepassionate about football.“Today there are lots of opportunities for

the youth and they should stop complainingabout havingnothing, but they should concen-trate on doing good things in their communi-ties. Therefore I hope these upcoming and as-piring players of Showvillage have the poten-tial of becoming stars one day. Therefore,things like sharing something with less fortu-nate people are the blessings”, said Ngalo.Wasa, who was visibly chuffed, stated that

what Ngalo had done for his side was greatand would make an immense difference.Wasa explains, “Eddie is our local profes-

sional player who lives an exemplary life. Hetold me that he would do us proud one day.I am overwhelmed because this kit wouldmake my boys motivated.“Eddie understands that he hails from the

less fortunate society and he does not forgetabout us. Some players who play topflightfootball seem to forget about their roots. Onbehalf of the club I wish to say thank you, MrNgalo, for coming to our rescue although youhave your own responsibilities.”

port grants to sustain themselves. These jer-seyswill keepour learnerswarmthrough thischilly winter. Our thanks go to our gogos formaking a difference to our kids.’’

round robin and the four groupleaders will head into the semi-finals.

The semifinalists will notplay finals but will be automati-cally be promoted to campaignin the regional league.The hosting PEEFA’s league

winners Young Teenagersplayed to a 2-2 draw with NAFAleague winners Glenville Celt-ic. MOFA league championsYoung Madrid lost 1-0 to WAFAleague champions Young Cos-mos.

In the battle of the Uitenhagesides, Westhill United (LARO-FA) drew 1-1 with ManchesterUnited (NODEFA) in their en-thralling game.Westhill’s goalcame from Eugene Radienwhile Lubabalo Mbengo pulledoff Manchester’s late equalis-er.NMMU Madibaz are through

side how to play football, and they didnot give their counterparts the oppor-tunity to express themselves.It was expected that Continental,

Toyi Toyi Baleni is fired-up andready to take upwhereKhonkco leftoff. According to Dyonase, the East-ern Cape title holder and SA titlemandatory challenger Baleni, withsix wins and four losses behind hisname, has got what it takes to emu-late Khonco and bring the titlehome.

Third ranked Roboshi who car-ries the record of 10 fights, eightwins (5KOs) with two losses be-lieves this fight will catapult him tostardom.According to his trainer Mlawuli

Nawule, come the fight night, Robo-shi will break the spell of the Meccaof boxing, Nelson Mandela Bay be-ing without a national title fromtheirmale pugilists formore than 10years, save for NomampondomiseXotyeniwho is the femaleSAJuniorLightweight titlist.Since losing to Nhlanhla Ngamn-

been on the upward mobility, stop-ping a game Mzwamadoda Jibilizain four rounds, Khwezi Antonie intwo andMziyanda Links also in thetwo rounds.The question is, will Roboshi con-

tinue to shine against Baleni on Ju-ly 3 in the latter’s backyard, or willBaleni up the ante and show theworld that he was indeed worthy ofhis trainer's praises?
