This is tied up with International Chil- dren’s Rights Day celebrated worldwide on Monday, June 1.

South African now celebrates Missing Children’s Day on May 25. This day brings sad memories to those who have lost their children in very difficult circumstances. One of these families who are left with more questions than answers, is that of Zen- ixole “Nontinga” Solomon who went missing from her Makangiso Street, NU6 Motherwell, home on Sunday, August 28, 2011 and has not been seen since. She was only three years old at the time. Zenixole was in the care of her mother Khanyiswa Solomon’s cousin, Xoliswa Ma- shiqana, 64, who took her into her care while Khanyiswa, who later died, was very sick. Before Zenixole’s father (whose name is not known) died, he left money for the child’s up- bringing. “She told me of the money and said I could use it for the child’s upbringing and educa- tion. However she died before I could do so,” said Mashiqana, who thinks Zenixole’s being missing had a lot to do with the money. She said a relative of Zenixole’s father who lived in Motherwell had once promised to take the child away from her in order to get her “brother’s money.” Mashiqana told Express Indaba that she had since used the money and alleges that she was assisted in withdrawing the money by several High Court officials. These officials are currently fighting legal battles to protect their jobs since the matter had been reported to the police. “I did not know that I was not supposed to use the money until the child was 21 years of age, especially since Khanyiswa herself suggested that I use it while she was still alive,” said Mashiqana. She said she had thought there was nothing wrong, especially since the officials, who had asked that she “paid” them R20 000, had as- sisted her. She gave them R15 000. “I used the money, I admit, but I swear I do not know where Zenixole is. I took care of the child from when she was only a few months old. I loved her as my own,” said Ma- shiqana, adding that she had been impris- oned for about a month as she was being in- vestigated as a suspect in the child’s disap- pearance. Charges were, however, withdrawn. She said she had been tormented with worry since the child’s disappearance. Continued on page 4 Where are our children?

FROM May 31 to June 7 is Child Pro-tection Week in South Africa. Thisis tied up with International Chil-dren’s Rights Day celebratedworldwide on Monday, June 1.

While South Africa and the rest of theworld are highlighting children’s rights tolife, protection, education, good health andenough resources, the phenomenon of chil-dren being lost for years without trace is be-coming commonplace.

South African now celebrates MissingChildren’s Day on May 25. This day bringssad memories to those who have lost theirchildren in very difficult circumstances.

One of these families who are left withmore questions than answers, is that of Zen-ixole “Nontinga” Solomon who went missingfrom her Makangiso Street, NU6 Motherwell,home on Sunday, August 28, 2011 and has notbeen seen since. She was only three years oldat the time.

Zenixole was in the care of her motherKhanyiswa Solomon’s cousin, Xoliswa Ma-shiqana, 64, who took her into her care whileKhanyiswa, who later died, was very sick.

Before Zenixole’s father (whose name is not

known) died, he left money for the child’s up-bringing.

“She told me of the money and said I coulduse it for the child’s upbringing and educa-tion. However she died before I could do so,”said Mashiqana, who thinks Zenixole’s beingmissing had a lot to do with the money.

She said a relative of Zenixole’s father wholived in Motherwell had once promised totake the child away from her in order to gether “brother’s money.”

Mashiqana told Express Indaba that shehad since used the money and alleges that shewas assisted in withdrawing the money byseveral High Court officials. These officialsare currently fighting legal battles to protecttheir jobs since the matter had been reportedto the police.

EVER wondered what the busyconstruction at the corner of Buf-felsfontein Road and 11th Avenueis?

The municipality says it is build-ing drainage ponds to controlstormwater from LovemoreHeights to Walmer, and it antici-pates they will be completedaround 2016, depending on funds.Municipal spokesperson, Mthub-

anzi Mniki, said more than R60-million had been allocated over aperiod of two years for the storm-water drainage and all interrelatedprojects in the Walmer-Gqeberaand main Walmer areas.Mniki said the project was need-

ed to overcome the challenge of

flooding.“There will be a series of ponds

which will retain and drain overtwo to three days.”Mniki said the project would in-

clude another construction thatwould support and be part of thebroader drainage ponds develop-ment.The King Edward commonage

would still be usable as it was stillpart of the driving range lease.“Wewill plant trees – guidancewillbe given by our parks department.Residents need to be aware that theparkwill still be accessible, but theponds will be fenced owing to thewater they will retain.”The municipality said it had

awarded the contract to TechniCivils, with the first phase near theairport already completed.

THE NELSON Mandela Bay re-gion of the South African Councilof Churches (SACC) voiced its op-position to xenophobia during avery successful Africa Dayprayer meeting at St Stephen’sAnglican Church in New Brigh-ton, Port Elizabeth, on Sunday(May 24).

The church of God in NelsonMandela Bay spoke with one

voice, on the day of the historic de-scending in Jerusalem of the ena-bling Holy Spirit, to different na-tions as recorded in the ChristianCatholic calender to say “No toXenophobia”.“This prayer meeting was trig-

gered by the recent xenophobic at-tacks on foreign nationals in Dur-ban and Johannesburg.“We felt the church could not be

silent when people, made like us,in the image of God, were underattack from our family membersand friends,” said Mandela BaySACC Chapter deputy secretary,the Reverend Siyabulela Tshat-shu of St Xavier’s AnglicanChurch.He said their office had noticed

that the majority of South Afri-cans did not really know what it

was to be an African.PE clerics Bishop Bethlehem

Nopece, Bishop Andile Mbete,Bishop Lunga kaSiboto, the Rev-erend Dr Bulelwa Hans and theReverend Hans spoke on the day.African Community of African

Nations in South Africa (Canisa)financial director, Romeo Danso-Osori, also reflected on the topic.It was broken down into three

questions: why they were here inSouth Africa, how did they feelabout the country’s reception andhow could the church assist them?Women and the youth also stood

up to be counted to say no to xeno-phobia. Speaking for women, DrHans said South Africans shouldinstead learn the skills and ex-pertise of their foreign brothersand sisters.

NELSONMandelaBay sheriffs say theyhavebeen dealt a heavy blow by the municipality,which is said to have appointed a WesternCape company to serve traffic summonsesdespite the local sheriffs being promised thatthey would be employed to do so.

The sheriffs found out about the contract-ing of the Western Cape company, TMT, ina report in PE Express two weeks ago on theplight of 27 summons deliverers, who workon commission and had not been receivingan income because of the two-year suspen-sion in the delivery of traffic summonses.In this report, municipal spokesperson,

Mthubanzi Mniki, said TMT would be ap-pointed to deal with the delivery of sum-monses.Sheriff Llewellyn Sharp, who spoke to PE

Express as a representative of five sheriffs inthe Uitenhage South, PE North, PE West,Despatch and PE South areas, said they hadbeen surprised to learn from PE Express thatthemunicipality had appointed 33 servers on

a six-month contract effective from June.According to Sharp, they had countless

meetingswith themunicipality’s chief finan-cial officer, TrevorHarper, and safety and se-curity boss, Shane Brown, who promisedthey would begin serving the backlog of sum-monses as well as warrants as early as De-cember 14 before the holidays began.Sharp said they had developed an exten-

sive proposal for the municipality which in-cluded plans to generate millions in revenuefor the metro through the collection of sum-monses, serve warrants to traffic offenders,incorporate the 27 summons deliverers al-ready employed by the metro as deputy sher-iffs and run a call centre to communicatewith offenders.“All these plans would have far-reaching

benefits for the municipality. Our goal is toassist themunicipality in collectingmillionsin uncollected fines. We believe if we can getinvolved, the metro will see the difference,”said Sharp.

According to the sheriff’s proposals, themoney collected would be put into a trust ac-

count and transferred to the municipal ac-counts.DA chief whip Gustav Rautenbach said the

suspension of traffic summons deliveries fortwo years had resulted in losses of millionsof rands for the municipality.Rautenbach said that in the past summons-

es had been responsible for bringing in aminimum of R600 000 in a bad month, withthe average being R1.2-million a month intraffic fines.Sharp said they had been promised by

Harper and Brown last year that they wouldmake provision for the sheriff’s proposal inthe next financial year’s budget and theywould finance them until then.“Weare upset that this promise has notma-

terialised. Because of this, the 27 summonsdeliverers who are now sitting without workare also losing out.”Municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mni-

ki, told PE Express in the previous reportthat the municipality had appointed 33 serv-ers on a six-month contract effective fromJune. “At the time of the contract’s expiry,theywill be incorporatedwhere possible into

the service provider, TMT,” said Mniki.Sheriff Anthony Makwethu said the mu-

nicipality was acting like a broken record.“They initiated the interaction and the dis-cussions were at an advanced stage last year.They know we have the capabilities. We aretried and tested and we can work with serv-ers.”Rautenbach said the traffic department

was dealing with huge inefficiencies. “Oneshould seriously consider putting this de-partment under administration. We needthis department to get back on a good levelbecause it’s going from bad to worse.”He said he fully supported the sheriffs tak-

ing over summons deliveries if they em-ployed the 27 servers that the municipalityhad left in the cold for the past two years.“Through this project, sheriffs will gener-

ate enough income for the municipality topay traffic officers and ensure a strong visi-bility on our roads because they will be paidovertime and back pay. What more can weask for?” asked Sharp.No comment had been received from the

municipality at time of going to print.

A CHILD goes missing every sixhours in South Africa.

According to Missing ChildrenSouth Africa’s website this adds upto a total of 1 460 children per year.

“Fortunately, according to ourstatistics, 77% of children arefound. Sadly, this still leaves uswith at least 23% of the children notbeing located.“Trafficking in children is a glob-

al problem affecting large numbersof children.According toUnicef and

World Concern, some estimateshave asmanyas 1.2million childrenbeing trafficked every year.“Children and their families are

often unaware of the dangers of traf-ficking,believing thatbetteremploy-ment and lives lie in other countries.“The reality is shocking and un-

A PASSION to improve the lives of animals inthe poorer communities of Motherwell andWells Estate has led a Bluewater Bay coupleand their friend to join forces andstart the Izin-ja (dogs) project.

The project was established in March lastyear by Janette and Brian Wood and theirfriend, Hazel Grey.

It seeks to establish in township residents asense of responsibility for and pride in their

animals.“Ourmain focus is sterilisation, regular dip-

ping and deworming, and assisting and advis-ing on general health and shelter. By workinghand-in-hand with the community, we believethe lives of the animals and their owners will

be uplifted,” Janette said.From April to December last, a total of 106

sterilisations and 40 kennels were issued. Shesaid their aim for this year was 120 sterilisa-tions, at a cost of R30 000. “We have alreadymanaged to raise a third of the money re-quired.”

Brian said, “Ideally, no dogs should bechained, but the reality is that many are. Ifowners insist on chaining their dogs, we pro-vide a running chain, so the dog hasmore free-dom.”

Another friend of theWoods, Penny Kruger,said that after seeing the dedication of Izinjato animal care, she and several other friendshad decided to help by collecting old blanketsandoldkennels thatBrian could repair anddo-nate to people.

She said theywerealso collectingplastic ice-

cream containers which made water contain-ers for dogs and used two-litre cooldrink bot-tles for the dip mixture given to the residents.

“This is a very demanding task and we areup to it, but we need sponsors to help with thesterilisation.

If we could get one’s co-operation or severalpeople todonate to the cause, itwouldgoa longway towards the care of these animals,” Briansaid.

THE rich history of isiXhosa, a language ofprose and poetry, is revealed in the books Isi-zwe esinembali - Xhosa history and poetry(1873-1888) byWilliamWellington Gqoba, edit-ed by Jeff Opland, Wandile Kuse and PamelaMaseko, and Imbali Zamanyange (HistoricalPoems) by DLP Yali-Manisi, edited by Jeff

Opland and Pamela Maseko.The three scholars and linguists, Opland,

Maseko and Kuse, through years of research,discovered the works of the two Eastern Capeacademics and writers, Gqoba and Yali-Mani-si, who were never given prominence as earlycontributors of literary writing in the most“marginalised”Africanlanguage,IsiXhosa,ac-cording to Professor Opland.

“ThesewriterswrotepoetrythatreflectedonAfrican thinking at the time, but because their

writing was in isiXhosa, it was never givenprominence,” saidOplandduring the launchofthe two books as part of a series at theGFIGal-lery in Central, Port Elizabeth, last week.

He said there was no standardisation of anyAfrican language in South Africa and that wasa disadvantage to future generations.

In fact, he said, all the indigenous languagesin this country were being marginalised in fa-vour of English, the lingua-franca.

Rhodes University’s Dr Maseko bemoanedthe fact that she had been exposed only to En-glish African writers like Ngungi wa Thiongoand the likesofZakesMda inheryearsof studyandhadmissed out on theAfricanwriterswhowrote in African languages because of the per-ception that Africans have no literature.

With this kind of setup, the professor said,

South Africans were missing out on the wis-dom recorded for amaXhosa, by amaXhosa inisiXhosa.

This was the literature for the adults, unlikethe one prescribed and meant for schoolchild-ren only, which many people would miss outon, saidOpland, adding that some of the poemshadbeenrecordedintheearlynewspapers, likeiZimvozabaNtsundu, IzwiLabantuand iSigidi-mi for instance.

Published through the University of KwaZu-lu-Natal and Rhodes University, the two booksand the upcoming edition by Uitenhage’s aca-demic and theologian, Solilo, the volumes stillreflect the language isiXhosa in its purity, buthave some English translations and back-groundnotes to help non-Xhosa readers under-stand them. – NCEBA DLADLA

UITENHAGE reggae groupSkank & the Roots will bebring authentic reggae musicto the Music Kitchen on Sat-urday (May 30).

The show will start at 8pm.The band, which is trying

to raise funds for its first pro-fessional album, is known forgetting people off their chairsand on to the dance floor withits signature roots sound,says lead singer Eric“Skank”.Formed in the 90s by a di-

verse group of individualswho share the same interestand vision in music, Skank &the Roots is made up of EricSkank Mooi (vocalist), Dumi-le Desmond Dabula (drum-mer), Marvin Williams (leadguitarist), Deon Manel (pi-ano), Mkhangeli (MK) Mati-

wane (bass Guitar) and PeterFranklin Liberty (percus-sions).Mooi never fails to ignite

the audience with his explo-sive stage presence. His dis-tinct wailing voice tone is attimes reminiscent of the leg-endary Burning Spear or Jo-seph Hill of Culture.Heavily influenced by Ja-

maican reggae from the 70s,Skank & the Roots have overthe years developed a uniquesound and a repertoire oforiginal songs that have a dis-tinctive South African fla-vour.Skank will be opening the

night with a few acousticsongs and then perform twosets with the Roots band fea-turing trumpeter SakhiMambukwe.Admission of R60 per per-

son will be payable at thedoor.
