vention two-day meeting with principalsyesterday at Algoa College.

plans and academic plans.Mabona was speaking at the underper-

forming schools intervention meeting withMEC Mandla Makupula and over 50 localprincipals from underperformance schoolsattended.

Mabona said the schools’ developmentleft a sour taste in their mouths but theyintended to change this before the year

ended.Mabona said they identified three fail-

ures which undermine teaching and learn-ing which were poor time management, in-sufficient attention to textbooks and verylow levels of teacher-subject knowledge.

IN a bid to keep the upgraded areas ofCentral safe and clean, MBDA have intro-duced Central Rangers who now patrolthe CBD, ensuring laws and municipal by-law offenders are dealt with.

MBDA’s Marketing and Communica-tions Manager, Luvuyo Bangazi, saidwhile the concept of rangers is not new,their town rangers are an additionalmechanism by the MBDA in a bid to main-tain the upgraded areas.

“They deal with law and by-law trans-gressions, such as criminal activity, man-agement and regulation of informal trad-ing and illegal posters. They also monitorand ensure that the cleansing and securi-ty service providers render services asper their contract standards, visitingbusinesses from time to time in a bid tochange perceptions, and provide help tothe lost, destitute, injured or sick.”

Bangazi said their rangers which con-

sist of three town rangers and two in theCBD, also work closely with the newly es-tablished Tourism Ambassador pro-gramme.

Bangazi said in order for the rangers tofulfil their jobs, they were working inclose co-operation with Police and otherlaw enforcement authorities such as theMunicipal safety and security, SARS cus-toms, and SA Home Affairs Immigra-tions.

The MBDA say the ranger programmeis a permanent feature of their develop-ments. They are also looking to expandthe programme in future, said Bangazi.

Bangazi said the operations related tothe rangers are part of the MBDA opera-tion’s budget, allocated and approved bythe Municipality.

Bangazi could not confirm how muchremuneration the rangers received, say-ing, “The rangers are part and parcel ofthe full time staff of the MBDA. As a resultincome issues are governed by employer/employee confidentiality clauses.”

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma reprimandedbranch leaders during his visit in Uitenhageon Monday saying more needed to be done toensure a strong ANC advantage come nextyear’s elections.

Zuma and several other top ranking ANCNational Working Committee (NWC) mem-bers were visiting the city in a vigorous cam-paign to engage with communities as part ofthe build-up to the 60th Anniversary of the

Freedom Charter.Zuma, who was speaking at Babs Madlaka-

ne hall, said the ANC’s regional structure hadfailed in its job in the NMB and a decisiontaken by the National Executive Committee(NEC) to clean house was necessary.

“You had a situation in the NMB where youhad strong players but they were sitting onthe bench and the weak players were allowedon the field. There are factions here and oth-ers benefit from this and that needs to stop.If we lose this region the likes of Govan Mbe-ki will be turning in their graves because wehave failed them,” said Zuma.

Zuma said they had decided to controlspending in human settlement because mem-bers were unduly benefiting. “Housing mon-ey will no longer go to the region and get lost.We told Danny and Deputy Mayor Bicks Ndo-ni that they need to ensure that there is aclean-up in the administration, and I am con-fident they will do that,” he said.

Zuma said Jordaan would have the full sup-port of the NEC during his tenure as the May-or.

“NMB is very important and we cannot losethis area. When we talk about the congress we

refer to this place. Every day we meet as theNEC to discuss the congress and what needsto be done in this Metro. It’s time we initiatepolicies of the ANC and not personal agendas,as we have seen in the past months with yourleaders,” said Zuma.

Jordaan said he had already engaged withMunicipal officials demanding answers towhy the streets of Uitenhage were dirty. Jor-daan promised he would deal with the prob-lems in Uitenhage later in the week when theNWC leaves the city.

As Zuma was charismatically giving his

speech, a scuffle broke out as two unknownmen shouted for the Nkandla report.

The two unknown men who demanded Zu-ma address the Nkandla report were draggedout kicking and screaming after receivinghuge blows to the face by ANC branch mem-bers.

The two unknown men were attending theANC’s engagement with communities as partof the build-up to the 60th Anniversary of theFreedom Charter to be celebrated in Klip-town, Soweto on June 26.

The men chanted ‘Nkandla report’ as Zuma

was delivering his speech which angeredANC branch members causing a brief brawlas they were thrown out of the gates.

During the meeting, Uitenhage branchmembers said they were frustrated by thehastily organised meeting which was over 2hours out of schedule saying they were onlymade aware of Zuma’s visit in the early hoursof the morning yesterday.

Members said they were forced to rush tothe hall in freezing cold only to wait for twohours for Zuma to arrive.

The meeting was scheduled to start at 12pmbut Zuma together with Provincial ExecutiveCommittee Sakhumzi Somyo, Nancy Sihl-wayi, Mayor Danny Jordaan and ANC na-tional spokesperson Zizi Kodwa arrived onlyat 2pm.

During the engagement, branch leaderscomplained about the corruption and ill-dis-cipline of the ANC in the Uitenhage cluster.

Ward 43 member Vuyani Xhangathi re-layed to Zuma some of the problems he saidthey had experienced with inefficient coun-cillors in the area.

Xhangathi said he had wished the Presi-dent and the National Working Committee(NWC) would have made a tour around the ar-ea before addressing branches. “If you can goaround the area, you would see the terribleconditions we are living under. There is nocouncil here and we face corruption and mis-management on a daily basis. Our councilorsdo not engage the people,” he said.

Other ANC NWC leaders who were visitingthe city were National Chairperson BalekaMbete, in KwaZakhele; ANC Secretary Gener-al Gwede Mantashe in Wells Estate and Trea-surer -General Zweli Mkhize who visited NU30 Hall in Motherwell

A two day meeting was held after prin-cipals from underperforming schools inthe province met the Department duringFebruary in East London to discuss astrategic plan of intervention.

Mabona said they were particularlyconcerned with the increase in repeaterrate which peaks from 12.4% in Grade9 to 27.2% at Grade 12. He said there isalso a concern of the drop-out levelwhich has escalated from the 1.1% ofgrade 9 to 11.5% of grade 11.

“We have a huge problem and we clear-ly must look deeply into our grade 11.This is where the problems start to arise.I am not sure whether there is rigorousmarking in Grade 11 but we need fast in-tervention for this province,” said Ma-bona.

Makupula said the drop-out and re-

peater levels displayed red flags for theDepartment and principals that neededurgent attention.

“Something is not right, I am not sureif the problem is the entire system or ifwe have to back to the drawing board,”said Makupula.

Makupula said more needed to be donein three subjects namely Life-Science,Maths Literacy and Mathematics. Headded that of the 29 460 pupils who regis-tered last year for Mathematics only 12528 had passed.

“These figures tell that we have a prob-lem. We must go back and foster a cul-ture of discipline in our schools.

“We cannot stop learning because yousay there Department has not deliveredtextbooks or deployed enough teachers.Teachers must work whether they havethose resources or not or else the schoolssuffer just as like the case we have now,”said Makupula.

TWO South African companies have heededthe message of World Hunger Day, which thisyear was on May 29, and are making a differ-ence in the lives of school-going children frompoor backgrounds.

World Hunger Day highlights the serious-ness of poverty and hunger and how they robpeople, and especially children, of dignity, edu-cation and a better life.

Statistics show that 11million people go hun-gry each day in South Africa.

Kellogg and Foodbank South Africa discov-ered that one in five children goes to school onan empty stomach.

The two companies formed a partnershipand, with First Choice Milk are making thingsbetter through theBreakfast forBetterDays in-itiative, which has the blessing and support ofthe Department of Basic Education.

The initiative is currently dishing up abreakfast of cereal and milk to 25 000 children

every school day this year in at least four prov-inces.

“Wehavereceivedsponsorship fromKelloggsince last year to feed our children with Corn-flakes and All Bran,” said Funimfundo Prima-ry School department head Kholeka Duna.

The breakfast, from 7.15am to 7.45am, Dunasaid,had improvedpupils’ attendance from400to 600 and absenteeism and late coming havedropped drastically at the school. The chil-dren’s parents are mostly unemployed or relyon social grants.

“We are very happy with this feedingscheme. We come early to school, to eat, playand study hard,” said head girl Ayolile Apleni.Head boy Mzwamabhaca Nombila said everychild looked forward to each day because theyknew that they would get something warm togive them energy.

OtherPortElizabeth townshipandNorthernAreas schools thatarebeneficiariesof the initi-ative are Adolph Schauder, Canzibe, Coega,Gertrude Shope, Esitiyeni, Kama, Funimfun-do, Soweto-On-Sea and Swartkops Primary.

THEMinisterofHumanSettlementsLindiweSi-sulusayscontractorsintheNelsonMandelaBayMetropolitanMunicipalitywill receive trainingto make sure that they graduate from beingsmall to established ones.

National government has over the next threeyears allocated R4,6 billion following a CabinetdecisioninApril toassist themunicipalityspeedup housing delivery.

Speaking to contractors at the City Hall re-cently, Sisulu said, “Ihaveyour interest atheartand it is my intention to make sure that yougraduate from being small contractors to being

established ones.”Sisulu said the work of contractors who were

already working on housing projects in the citywould continue. They had nothing to fear fromthenational government assistancebeing rolledout by theHousingDevelopmentAgency (HDA)in the municipality.

“We are here to support you.Nothing is goingto change and you are not going to suffer as aresult of these changes. We want you to acceptus,” she told contractors.

The National African Chamber of Commerce(Nafcoc)askedthat90percentoftheworkbeallo-

cated to localbusinesses; thatsmallmediumandmicro enterpises be contracted directlywith theHDA; that HDA engage material suppliers ontheirbehalf;andthat theybementoredtobeableto deliver better houses for the people of NelsonMandela Municipality, among others.

The meeting agreed that the National HomeBuilders Registration Council (NHBRC) wouldset up an incubator programme in the munici-pality for the small contractors to train them inall facets of construction from finance to projectmanagement.

“The key to our work is partnerships and we

all need to focus on our core business to makesure that we deliver faster and better qualityhouses to show people that we are committed towhat we say we want to do,” said Sisulu.

The Minister reiterated the point that the as-sistance provided to theNelsonMandelaMetro-politan Municipality was at the request of theformer Executive Mayor and his entire councilbecause delivery on human settlements hadslowed down over the years.

Before this, themetrowas doingwell in termsofhousingdeliveryandithadbecomethevictimof its own success. The aim of the Cabinet en-dorsed-decision was to make sure that the mu-nicipality delivered at the rate that they wereused to, faster and quality products that wouldnot need rectification in future. – REPORTER

NELSON Mandela Bay businesspeople setaside a day at the Nangoza Jebe Hall inNew Brighton recently to showcase theirbusiness prowess.

Sponsored by the Small Enterprise De-velopment Agency, (Seda) and facilitatedby Tsidi Limba, a local entrepreneur anddirector of Luchumo Events, the event wasaimed at spotlighting what local entrepre-neurs are doing to grow their businesses.

A total of 47 businesses from sectors in-cluding furniture-making, fashion-design,auto-bodyworks, publishing, finance,bookkeeping and recording had been rep-resented, said Limba, who presents theBayTV business programme, Fix My Busi-ness.

“In my moving around Nelson MandelaBay in contact with entrepreneurs for thecontent of the programme, I realised thatnot all township businesses were in needof a fix - in fact the majority of local entre-preneurs, as witnessed by these displays,are running successful businesses,” Lim-ba said.

With the assistance of Seda, the EasternCape Department of Economic Develop-

ment and the EC Development Corpora-tion, the day had given them an opportuni-ty to say, “Here we are, and this is whatwe do”, he said.

Nelson Mandela Bay Seda manager An-dile Yengeni said, “Seda has been aroundsince 2004. We exist in order to help localsmall and emerging entrepreneurs accessfinance.”

Yengeni said Seda was concerned thatfew people knew it was aimed at assistingentrepreneurs, so therewas aneed tomovethe Seda offices from the city centre to thetownships.

“These small businesses are adding val-ue to our communities. Without assistancemany of them fail, so we are saying thatwe will pilot a Seda office in New Brightonto ensure that we are accessible to peopleat a local level. And that means they won’teven need bus fare to come to our offices.”

Asked what she thought local entrepre-neurs would take from the day, Limba saidshe hoped it would serve, “to create a net-work among businesses in the township,to show investors that they are young en-trepreneurs who are capable and foster thespirit of entrepreneurship among the un-employed - to wake up and do things forthemselves in the spirit of Vuk’uzenzele”.

KHANYISA Education and DevelopmentTrust, a Non-governmental Organisation(NGO) under the Makukhanye Rural Peo-ple’sMovementwhichpromotes rural devel-opment held a Youth Community Dialogueat the Love-Life Youth Centre, KwaNobuhlein Uitenhage last Friday.

The dialogue, attended by Khanyisa Edu-cation and Development Trust members,AmadodanaOkwenene,Love-Liferepresent-atives and other Makukhanye affiliates wasaimed at discussing pertinent issues aroundcommonage - a legislated framework on theright topastureanimalsoncommonland,ac-cording to Khanyisa Movement Buildingand Youth Coordinator, Meluxolo Mbali.

Mbali said, “The main purpose of thisevent was to deepen understanding aboutcommonage land and raise awareness about

seriousness of the issue.”According to Mbali, unlike popular belief,

some people from KwaNobuhle townshipstill held farming up high, and that involvedyoung people.

“Failure of the South African governmentto recognise the seriousness of many blackpeople in farming proven by the fact thatthere was no commonage land prepared forthe poor in the area was discussed,” saidMbali, adding that they took a decision toelect a Land Coordination Committee whoseduty would be, among others, coordinate is-sues around commonage in the area ofKwaNobuhle, like itwas thecase in theareaslike theSundaysRiverValleyand KougaLo-cal Municipalities, for instance.

“We expect those who attended the dia-logue to report back to their constituenciesandworkhard toensure thesuccessandsus-tainability of the commonage committee,”said Mbali.

NEW Brighton women who in 2012 started anArts and Craft Project at the Red Location Mu-seum in order to put food on the table withintheir families, could be involved in a life-changing community initiative.

A felting project started by sixwomen in thisPortElizabeth townshipmakesbusinesssense,according to Annette du Plessis of the Red Lo-cation Museum.

The cooperative,Laphum’ikhwezi got assist-ance from Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP) and trained the women to de-velop a viable business in felting.

They make a unique African style of mobilephone covers, handbags, nuno felting, hats,shoes and so forth.

“It is truly wonderful to perceive their visu-alisation and design style incorporated intotheir works,” du Plessis said, but added thatfunding would soon stop and the project couldend.

“Thesewomendidnothave theskillsneeded

for this. But now, they were not only providingtheir families with a warm plate of food, theywere tapping into the niche market,” said Dor-elle Sapereof theNelsonMandelaBayDevelop-ment Agency (MBDA). adding that with morefinancial assistance, Laphum’ikhwezi mem-bers could be steering in the upward mobility.

Planning and Development Manager Saperesaid, without financial support, these womencould still be facing unemployment and all themisery that goes with it.

According to Du Plessis, since the impromp-tu closure of the Cultural precinct of the Muse-

um,asaresult of communitymembersprotest-ing for housing rectification demands amongothers, life became dull and unbearable to anumber of people who were benefiting fromthis tourist attraction.

But in less than two months of training, thedreamofa feltingproject in thewholeofNelsonMandela Bay had been born.

Recreation, Arts and Culture Director, Velis-wa Gwintsa, and Ward Cllr Kholisile Franssupport the women, a dedicated lot whose initi-ative could be a game-changer for MandelaBay.

THEY call themselves Amazing Dancers, justbecause every time they take the stage bystorm, they get a standing ovation!

These amaPantsula dancers are all fromKwaNobuhle township in Uitenhage, and theylove what they do best – and that is dancing.

They say the reason they dance isiPantsuladance is to reduce crime as it doesn’t pay.

IsiPantsula, which is one of the townshipdancing styles of the 70s and 80s, is still a styleto be reckoned with locally, nationally and in-ternationally. It can be practised by all ages.

Amazing Dancers’ coach, Mzimasi Mafutha,said: “This is no wasting time as some peoplewould think–dancinghelpsusavoid indulgingin crimebecause crimedoesn’t pay.Wealwaysrope in new blood in the art as to prepare themto stay safe before they grow.

“Performances are mostly public ones, sowhen you’re a rising star you wouldn’t like tobe notorious at the same time.”

He said the group was established in 2012 byMonde Memani whose vision was to get kidsoff the streets and out of crime. “Soon we be-came four guys who all were dance gurus. Itwas amazing how we were all so talented!

“As many people started joining in, we alsointroduced netball and soccer to make peoplepractise what they were good at.

“But the first thing we established was theseAmazing Dancers, which is still amazing.”

HesaidAmazingDancershassomefewhigh-lights. “Recently, we danced alongside award-winning singer, Ringo Madlingozi at WoolfsonStadium in Port Elizabeth.

“Sometimes we even appear on TV, and thatis encouraging as those who were lazy to cometo practice start coming.”

He said they would be glad if they can getsponsorship. “All our performers are school-goingandweoftenneedmoneytobuytrousers,takkies, panamas as they go together in thiskind of dance. We also need a sound system be-cause without music, the spirit is low.”

said local pugilist Lung-isani Jikani lost against Gauteng’s WarrenJoubert in a challenge for the South AfricanJunior Welterweight title about a month agowhile Eastern Cape Junior Flyweight cham-pionMzwabantu Dabaza took part in the elitePremier Boxing League (PBL) tournamentjust recently.Mapitiza said there were negotiations be-

tween a promoter from KwaZulu Natal andEC Super Middleweight Champion Makho-sonke Zwengu management for the latter tochallenge for the vacant SA Supermiddle-weight championship.

“This means ina space of fewmonths we wouldhave four of ourboxers challeng-ing for nationalhonours. That isno mean feat,” aproud Mapitizasaid, adding thatNelson MandelaBay still had Nom-ampondomise Xo-tyeni as the reign-ing SA FemaleJunior Light-weight champion.He said he told

that among thoselocal boxers who will be challenging for thenational titles shortly, at least one of themwould make us proud and bring the titlehome,” said Mapitiza.And, Sibongile Nkebe thinks that that box-

er would be KwaNobuhle’s Miniflyweightchallenger, Lonwabo Roboshi who is current-ly ranked at number 3 in the country.
