Ndoni was speaking at the two-day workshop for contractors of the Municipality where the min- ister of Human Settlements Lindiwe Sisulu was scheduled to attend to address SMMEs but was a no-show. Addressing the 400 SMMEs in attendance, Ndo- ni said it was a well-known fact that in the city you get an RDP house by paying a bribe. “I am not too sure what the going rate for an RDP house is but it is simply scandalous that we subject our people who have trusted us to this behaviour.” Ndoni said shoddy workmanship by contrac- tors meant that a rectification of built houses was required almost as a matter of cost. “I cannot un- derstand why government has to pay twice to get one house built. Housing officials are indifferent and unresponsive to the community’s complaints and issues. We have a challenge of having to go back to some houses and repair; we must agree with contractors that we cannot do that again. “The person that needs to be prioritized needs to be the beneficiary. We must ensure we avoid making our people angry; let’s not subject our peo- ple to the humiliation of paying bribes to get any- thing done,” said Ndoni. Ndoni said contractors and the Housing Devel- opment Agency (HDA) should cooperate with fo- rensic investigators to report and expose corrupt elements within human settlements’ value chain. He said government should also put in place pro- grammes to improve the state of black contractors. “They cannot remain small and emerging for the rest of their lives; at some point you must emerge.” The workshop was intended for Sisulu also to sign a service level agreement with the MEC for Human Settlements Helen Sauls-August and May- or Danny Jordaan in a bid to fast-track housing delivery in the region. All three though, did not at- tend. Municipal Human Settlements boss, Lindile Pe- tuna, said key problems in his directorate’s roster system were contractors being allocated work but did not start building houses owing to lack of funds. “It is important to note that there have been complaints in relation to that, especially allocation of work. “Once we allocate work, we note some contrac- tors are unable to start work because they are una- ble to raise funds. “Communities are asking ‘when are you going to start?’ But contractors are unable to start; this affects service delivery.” Petuna said the metro’s housing revolving fund was way above what the limit should be. “The limit currently should be R100 million but we are ap- proaching R200 million and this means we depend on province to provide funding.” Petuna however said flexibility is an advantage within their roster system as contractors are able to allocate work regularly and more women were also becoming contractors. “There is a lot of work that needs to be done in terms of our backlog of our sector plan. We esti- mate that by 2030 we will need to have constructed 140 000 units with the metro. Continued on page 2 . . . MUNICIPALITY HOLDS WORKSHOP: Ndoni slams RDP housing contractors

WHILE some districts in the Eastern Capehave already recorded deaths as a result ofbotched circumcision, the Nelson MandelaMetropolitan Municipality has recordednone for the past five years.

According to media reports, theWinter ini-tiation seasonhad abad startwith seven initi-ates hospitalised in the Tsolo and Qumbu re-gions.

“Some boys even lose their manhood in the

course of undergoing this age-old tradition ofcircumcision,” said Eastern Cape Circumci-sion Senior Manager Dr Luvuyo Bayeni.

Bayeni, originally from KwaNobuhle inUitenhage, believes his appointment by theDepartment of Health to the position in 2010has been a catalyst for change in the traditionthat could otherwise be losing its meaning.

Bayeni has been visiting hospitals in the ar-ea ofMthatha,Qumbu, Lusikisiki, andMountFrere to treat victims of botched circumci-sions.

In Nelson Mandela Bay initiation has not

had the same dire results.“We,have not been affected by any loss of

life in the bush or seeing our boys going tohospitals for many years now,” Nelson Man-dela Bay Mayoral Committee Fikile Desi toldExpress.

According to Desi, the NelsonMandela BayCircumcision Forum - which he chairs - hasbeen very effective.

The forum, he explained, is made up of himas representing government, traditional lead-ers, traditional health practitioners that in-clude iingcibi (traditional Surgeons), ama-

khakhatha (traditional nurses) from ama-Xhosa, abeSuthu and amaHlubi as well asDepartment of Health officials in the form ofmale nurses.

“In the metro we have some chiefs who arecoming out to claim their space in the tradi-tional chieftaincy.

“What we do is to engage them in our proc-esses and as we speak they understand whatwe are doing,” saidDesi, adding that they alsoused local structures and local clinics to com-municate messages that helped families un-derstand the rite of passage.

“Whether that is possible or not is somethingthat we need to debate further,” said Ndoni.

HumanSettlementsActingDirector-GeneralMbulelo Tshangana said the support packageapproved by Cabinet in April was not an inter-vention in the affairs of the municipality.

Tshangana said the first day of the work-shops ended a little before 8pm after contrac-tors and officials took resolutions. “This showsa dedication and passion to build a programmefor contractors.We took some resolutions yes-terday and this will culminate in a social con-

tract. The intention is to hold each other ac-countable, if any of those things we have com-mitted to do are not done.”

Tshangana said some of the resolutionswere90% of contracts to go to theMetro’s roster sys-tem; provide training and explanations of thegrading and rating systems; fix the roster sys-tem; and the SMMEs struggling to procurema-terial supplywillbeassisted.Hesaid thesereso-lutions would still need to be operationalised.

National Home Builders Registration Coun-cil (NHBRC) CEO, Mongezi Mnyani said in or-der toensure thatnorectificationswereneededin future, they would conduct a training pro-

gramme for contractors and they would alsocome up with various programmes to assistcontractors. “What we have seen is that someof the contractors have no skills, which affectsquality on the ground. In the next 6 months wewill be implementing a detailed programmeandwe hope those skills will be translated intopractical work on the ground,” he said.

Mnyani said they would also ensure thathouses that are built would be enrolled withNHBRC which means if there were any struc-tural defects theywould fix the house at no costto the consumer. “Most of these houses werenever enrolledwith us andwere never covered

in terms of the warranty funds. We will alsohave inspectors who will assist contractors,”said Mnyani. He said there were still housesbeing rectified by HDA and they were busy as-sessing more houses to ensure those houseswere corrected.

Presidentof theMetroBlackContractors,Ba-ba Ningi said there would no longer be inva-sions. “We are thinkingwewon’t toyi-toyi any-more, because the people all wanted one termforall theseyears.Wehaveitnow.NationalandtheHDAare speaking tousand thecurrentoffi-cials are able to interpret the tender system forus. We are very happy.”

AS a young boy he used to jump up and down in frontof the television to copy his favourite wrestlers’ kicks.

Now Kwaito Kid, born and bred in Port Elizabeth,has his own special move, the “Super Kwaito Jam-kick”. A kick that has felled many an opponent in theWorld Wrestling Professional (WWP) ring.“My dream was to be like the famous American

WWE-wrestler, ShawnMichaels,” said ZamaNjokwenifrom Motherwell, who fights under the alias KwaitoKid.“But neither I nor my parents believed I could make

a career as a wrestler.”By the end of 2004 Njokweni had completed his se-

cond year studies for a business degree, when his “ob-session” with becoming a wrestler took flight again.Then he met Mark Beale, CEO of WWP.“From the very first day I met Kwaito Kid, I could

see his style suited his alias perfectly,” said Beale.But his dream to become a successful wrestler did

not happen overnight.

“I trained so hard for months, and months, but didn’tget my shot in the ring,” Njokweni said.In 2006 he finally got a chance to show off his skills.“Following my first match I became more widely

known and I was invited to tour with WWP to London,India, Namibia and Congo. I never thought a guy likeme from Motherwell would see all of these countries.”Next month Kwaito Kid will be in action in front of

his home crowd during the first ever WrestlemonsterExtravaganza in Port Elizabeth at the Nelson MandelaBay stadium on Saturday, July 18.WWE’s PJ Black and WWP’s Tornado and Mr Wrest-

ling are just some of the wrestling stars who will parti-cipate in Wrestlemonster.According to Beale, Wrestlemonster is set to become

an annual event.“This year’s show will start with a Battle Royal, whe-

re 25 wrestlers will start in the ring at the same time,and fight till just one winner is left standing.”Kurt Darren, MatthewMole and Ifani will also provi-

de added entertainment on the day.Limited tickets are available at Computicket from

R40 per person.

FOR kids the mid-year school holiday is awelcome break, but for many parents - whohave to work throughout – it is a stressfulperiod of constantly wondering whetheryour child is safe.

There are some basic and practical safetyprecautions parents can share with theirchildren regardless of whether they are leftwith a caregiver, domestic staff or stay athome by themselves.“It is important that they know always to

keep entry and exit doors locked, and thatnobody is to enter the property without yourpermission,” says Adrian Good, GeneralManager: Subscriber Coastal, ADTSecurity.“If you have a home security system in-

stalled teach them how to activate and deac-tivate it and how andwhen to use other secu-

rity devices like panic buttons.”He adds that it is a good idea to have a list

of emergency contacts – including the 10111number - near the telephone and to explainto children when and how it must be used.The cold weather means that older chil-

dren are often confined indoors and thatboredom quickly sets in so they spend a lotof time online. Good says teaching your chil-dren to stay safe online is essential.

Here are some valuable hints and tipsparents can share with their children:

.Never post any personal information on-line – like an address, email address or mo-bile number.

.Think carefully before posting picturesor videos of yourself. Once you’ve put a pic-

ture of yourself online most people can seeit and may be able to download it. It’s notjust yours anymore.

.Keep your privacy settings as high aspossible

.Never give out your passwords

.Don’t befriend people you don’t know

.Don’tmeet upwith people you’vemet on-line. Your child should always tell you if anonline contact they have never met suggeststhey meet up

.Remember that not everyone online iswho they say they are

.Think carefully about what you say be-fore you post something online

.Respect other people’s views, even if youdon’t agreewith their views; there is no needto be rude

.If a child sees anything online that

makes them feel uncomfortable, unsafe orworried, they should leave the website, turnoff their computer and tell someone immedi-ately.Children and teenagers should also be cau-

tious of shopping malls which are far busierduring the holidays and a popular hang-outfor older kids.If your child is going to a movie or to meet

friends, he/she needs to look after his/herbelongings and to look out for each other.“Busy malls present a prime opportunity

for pickpockets. Teach your children to holdon tightly to their handbags, wallets and cellphones. It is also important that, if they be-come separated from their friends, theyhead straight to the mall information deskor to security and try to track them downfrom there,” concludes Good. – REPORTER

Holiday tips to keep children entertained, safe

THE most important principle in teachingyour children to bemoney savvy, is to educateyourself. You as the parent need to know howto budget, cut expenses and reduce debt.

This according to Wikus Olivier, debt man-agement expert at DebtSafe.“Children also want to see how something

works; therefore you have to show them howto set up a budget and let them allocate their

pocket money. Give them control of theirspendingmoney, because that will teach themto take responsibility.”Histipsonhowtoteachyourchildtobemon-

ey savvy include:.Pre-School - Give them a set amount of

pocketmoneywithwhich they can buy treats..Teach them to save – make a piggy bank

ormoneyboxwhere they can putmoney awayfor the toys they have their eyes on.

.Primary School - Introduce more itemsthey need to budget for to teach them to think

ahead, e.g. birthday presents for friends, toysor movies during the budget month.

.Let your child borrow money from you.Theyhavetopayyoubackwithinterestso thatthey become debt smart on money owed.

.Help them set up a neighbourhood carwash, or a nail bar for the moms’ nails in thestreet to earn their own income.

. High School - Have them open an invest-ment account at a bankwhich they contributetomonthly fromtheir pocketmoney.Theycanuse this to put a down payment on a car when

they turn 18..Add in more items to budget for such as

cell phone and data bundle costs..University – Let them take responsibility

of budgeting and paying their way. Help themformulate a budget for university fees, books,rent and anything else they need to pay for.Give them the budgeted amount and check inwith them on how they are finding the chal-lenge. Give yourself access to all the accountstatements so that youcancounsel themabouttheir spending.

the youth have decided to follow from this

year, according to Kate.“As the youth of amaRabe, we decided to

look after poor and vulnerable members inour communities. So this was the first of themany visits to follow,” saidYouth’sManyanoDeputy Chairperson Vuyokazo Ndzewuza.Ndzewuza said they felt it was not enough

for the young men and women to use theirenergies inside the church structures where-as they knew well that there was so muchneed in local communities.They gave the children items they collected

from members, such as clothing includingshoes, ready-made food and tinned stuff.“It is no good for the church youth to disre-

gard what is happening in our communities.We have a responsibility to make the changein a service of grace, that which is led by thespirit of doing good,” she said, adding thatthose children needed love, food and hope ofa better future.
