GREG NOTA

REGARDLESS of nu-merous service deliv-ery protests andthreats of boycottingthis year’s general

elections, the voting process inthe Eastern Cape was completedwithout anymajor complications.

Leading up to May 7, protestersthreatened not to vote, owing to alack of services, including water,electricity and RDP housing.In some of the voting districts,

like Timane outside Idutywa, peo-ple protested peacefully outsidethe voting station, but they werenot hindering others from voting.A strong police presence at po-

tentially volatile voting stationsensured peaceful proceedings anda limited number of instances ofintimidation were reported.Comparing results with that of

the 2009 elections, the number ofpeople who voted in the EC haddropped from 2 288 387 (total votescast) with a voter turnout of74,87% to 2 213 121 (total votescast) in 2014 with a voter turnoutof 68.30%.Although there seemed to have

been a general feeling of disatis-faction about the ruling party forfailing to provide water and elec-tricity, 1 528 345 people still votedfor the ANC.The DA became the official op-

position party in the EC legisla-ture and they obtained 10 seatswith 16,20%, the UDM received6.16% (4 seats), while new comers,EFF got 3.48%,giving them 2 seatsandCopegot 1.20%securing 1 seatin the provincial legislature.

Elections run relatively smoothly

Notwithstanding threats of boycotting the elections, the voting process mostly ran smoothly on May 7 in the Eastern Cape. More election news and photographs onpages 4 and 5. PHOTO: AYANDA MILLISA MADIKIZELA

THE Chairperson of the house of traditionalleaders in the Eastern Cape Legislature, Nko-si Ngangomhlaba Matanzima, stressed thatthere is a need to addmore subjects at the Jon-gilizwe school of traditional leadership inTsolo.

The school is meant to train the traditionalleaders to provide them with skills to leadtheir nations.Matanzima said this during the official

handing over of the R25 million revampedschool recently, in the presence of PresidentJacob Zuma.Matanzima said the school needs to teach

heritage studies, African law, ethics and val-ues, administration, public affairs and agri-culture.He said it was the responsibility of a tradi-

tional leader to ensure that his/her people ad-here to the traditional values and keep totheir roots. He called on traditional leadersto grab the opportunity of getting training oreducation and to “stop swimming in the poolof alcohol.”

In his address, President Zuma said it wasimportant to educate traditional leaders abouthow to rule their nations.He said educating a traditional leader is not

new. Born traditional leaders used to be sentto relatives or uncles for education on rulinga nation.“We need to have lecturers in this school

who have certificates or diplomas to teach inthe school of traditional leadership, not just totake an ordinary lecturer who does not havea qualification to teach in the school,” said Zu-ma.“We need traditional leaders, local govern-

ment, MEC’s and national ministers to cometogether and discuss the way forward to har-monize proper governance,” he concluded.

THE EASTERN Cape department of edu-cation Superintendent-General, Mt-hunywa Ngonzo, last week announced therelease of a bulletin consisting of 3370 neweducator posts for schools with a shortageof teachers.

These posts are only for schools with ad-ditional educator vacancies as covered bythe Education Labour Relations Council’s

Over 3 000 teacher posts for the Eastern Cape(ELRC) collective agreement 1 of 2014.The department’s provincial spokesper-

son, Mali Mtima, said the 3370 posts in-clude vacant positions for 2055 Level 1 edu-cators, while 987 are for heads of depart-ment (HODs) and 328 for deputyprincipals.“The department seeks to ensure that

teaching and learning in schools are prior-itized,” said Mtima.A total of 280 teachers are expected to be

employed in the East London district

while 101 posts have been declared for theKing William’s Town district.In October last year education MEC,

Mandla Makupula, announced a 55 796teacher post provisioning for the 2014 aca-demic year which represented a total lossof 5 024 educator posts when compared tothe 60 820 post provisioning for 2013.Following the announcement,Makupula

came under a lot of criticism from theSouth African Democratic Teachers Union(Sadtu) and DA in the province for the con-

tinued trend of cutting of teacher posts.Makupula said the declining number of

school going pupils in the province had adirect bearing on the post basket alloca-tion.DA MPL Edmund van Vuuren said the

province had lost a staggering 8 956 teach-ing posts in the last two years due to adownward trend by the department in itsannual post provisioning, adding that the2013 post provisioning made a provisionfor 3 932 fewer educators than 2012.

THE grandson of the late first black presidentin democratic SouthAfrica,MandlaMandela,committed his time collecting the elderlywithhis own transport aroundKuMvezo loca-tion to vote on election day.

Mvezo is the areawhere tataNelsonMande-la was born. From there he moved to Qunu.

Mandla was accompanied by his motherNolusapho and his wife Nodiyala. He drovehimself, since he had given his drivers leavein order for them to vote.

Before he cast his vote, he drove aroundfetching elderly people and people in wheel-chairs.

Speaking after casting his vote, Mandlasaid it was an exciting moment to vote, eventhough the pain of losing his grandfather wasstill with him. Nevertheless he said the com-munity of Mvezo benefited from his (NelsonMandela’s) legacy anddedication in the strug-

gle and though he died his legacy is alive tohis family and to the country as a whole.

“I decided to collect the elderly people todefend the freedom my grandfather foughtfor,” said Mandla, the chief of Mvezo.

Nkosi Zwelivelile, as he affectionatelyknown in traditional leadership, mentionedthe contribution of freedom fighters like hisgrandfather Nelson Mandela, OR Tambo,Chris Hani Walter Sisulu and many more.“Now we are reaping the fruits the freedomthey fought for.

“We really appreciate having this govern-ment led by President Jacob Zuma, as thecommunity of Mvezo we benefited a lot, be-cause of the initiatives that were implement-ed here in Mvezo,” said Mandla.

Although he was praising the achieve-ments, he also stated a long walk was aheadto improve the lives of the people in other lo-calities. “There are people who have not yetbenefited from this government – those whodon’t have electricity and other basic needs.”

COMMUNITY members from the Timane lo-cality in Dutywa protested outside the Za-muxolo Junior Secondary School, where vot-ing was taking place.

They complained about poor service deliv-ery and the demarcation of their ward.The protesters were demanding to be re-

turnedback toWard 1where theybelieve theybelong.Even though they were protesting next to

the voting station, they did not disturb other

residents who were voting.Dutywa Police Officials were there to en-

sure that everything was running smoothlyand that protesters were not disturbing othervoters who wanted to cast their votes.Protesters told theExpress that they started

protesting at 7am with the intention of show-ing their dissatisfaction about how the gov-ernment was treating them.Deputy Secretary of this community, No-

zukile Zwakala, said previously they were inWard 1. According to her they were treatedwell then, and had no complaints, but sincebelonging toWard 4, they feel no one is taking

care of them.“We are really suffering now because we

don’t get services from government and yetthey want our votes. Last year we decided togo toEskom inEast London to ask for electric-ity; that iswhy todaywehave electricity,” shesaid. Zwakala said in 2010 they were asked todig toilet pits, thinking that they would be as-sisted with toilets, but even that promise wasnot fulfilled. They said they don’t have betterroads and the bridge which is next to themwas damaged many years ago and it was stillnot fixed.According to her no one came to address

them about service delivery issues. She saidthey want to belong to Ward 1 again.DeputyMinister for Communications, Stel-

la Ndabeni-Abrahams, was there to addressthe protesters. She appealed to them not todisturb other residents who were willing tovote.She said theywouldmake sure that govern-

ment addresses the issues. “What they mustknow is that they don’t have the right to stoppeople who are willing to cast their votes. Asgovernment we will make sure that we willtake their grievances to the relevant peopleso that this problem can be solved.”

Sçelukubuza, indoda yakho uyicindizela kan-jani? Okay, perhaps someone will ask why weare asking this question.

Okay it’s just that all the gossip team is notyet married but on our own little knowledge wethink you get involved in marriage in order totake care of each other and treat each otherwell, so that you can build a sturdy family. Nev-ertheless mostly it does not go on that way.

Makwedini kuyakwayintoni kuni? Okay,come closer so that we can tell you the storieson this Express land.

There is this chap who has a very beautifulwife and even you dear reader if you know himyou normally used to see him walking if notdriving with his wife and you can see they arein love in front of our eyes but behind thescenes it is not like that.

You know iimpohla (single men) everyevening after work they go to restaurants tobuy something to eat before going to bed intheir rooms. They normally buy take aways butit is very rare in married men because theyhave wives to cook at their homes.

But you will be astonished to find that mostmarried men live like single men despite hav-ing wives at their homes. Like for instance re-cently we asked a guy whom we think you knowhim if we can mention him, why he always buystake away at Northcrest Spar and finishes it inthe car before going home.

He told us, thina we are better than him for

not having wives because he lives like achicken. If he reaches home after supper hasbeen served he won’t get anything.

Even if he was present when supper wasserved and he needed more he can’t ask forit. Uyabona ke kunzima emadodeni aphaphandle qha afela ngaphakathi. Mna Geshngeke ndiyivume lo nto as long ndisathengai-grocery unless ke ndayeka.

Mara singafane sibagxeke nje oomamaperhaps there is something which promptedthem to act like the way they act in their hub-bies. But bafethu when you are a husbandand wife you need to endure whatever plightyou can account because omnye wenu ulan-dele i-Bible ethi yithi nca emva komfazi wa-kho. So ulahlile abazali ngoku uzaphindeaphindele njani kubazali bakhe kuba wenawife sowungumama kuye. Nathetha ngathinibabantu abadala makwedini neh. Nokonokuba omnye wenze ntoni makuhlalwephantsi kulungiswe ukuhlala.

Look at these old timers who spend mostof their time in taverns drinking as if thereis no tomorrow. Back at home is not nice.Nqanda baba.

Xa ulambile phuma egusheni ungabeuzulisa

Uyazi uyakufumana umntu xa endwend-wele emzini athi xa ephakelwa akhalazeukuba uphakelwe kakhulu, futhi

akakuthandi kakuhle ukutya and ugqiba ku-tya. Nimcenge nina bekhaya, “Hayi khawu-tye wethu oku ukutyileyo ukutya akufaninoku sikunika kona,” Lawo ngamazwi okum-khu-thaza ukuba atye.

Duku, duku, uyabona umntu sele eqwela i-plate encoma ubumnandi bokutya nokuphe-ka kamnandi kwalowo ubephekile. Niningoku ebekhalaza ukuba i-plate iphakwe ka-khulu and yena ugqiba kutya?

No man if ulambile phumela eshashalazeniungabe ukhala ukuba ukutya kuninzi kantiuzakuphinde uqwele i-plate apha.

Sibone phaya endwlini omnye ummelwaneothe xa ephakelwa ngunaka-Iminathi wakha-laza ukuba ukutya kuninzi kodwa sivesekukhala ukrelekenqe weplate kanti every-thing is finito. Kuvele phi ngoku ukulambakuba ubuthe uhluthi. Ja, igossip kalokuiqaphele kwanto eqhubekayo phambi kwayoso be careful if it is around.

THE Bizana Village Circuit participated inthe selection of teams that would representthem in different sports codes in the Dis-trict games to be held soon.

Last week Friday they selected teams fornetball, handball, and volleyball. The mainfocus was on handball and the games wereplayed at the Love Life Centre, where fourschools competed.

Among the schools were Ndunge, Majazi,Zamokuhle and Ngcingo Junior SecondarySchools (JSS).

Speaking on behalf of handball coaches,Zamukulungisa Thole said handball was a

very rare, but very interesting sport andthat more schools should try it.

“I have noticed that not all schools havehandball, which is very sad. It is a very ac-tive sport and can be played by those pupilswho do not want to get dirty,” added Thole.

Ayanda Madikizela, a pupil from Nyanis-weni JSS, said handball was her favourite

sport because it is very rare. She said thethe day was fun-filled and they got to show-case their skills to their fellow schoolmates and parents.

Another pupil, Phindile Ndungane,from Tshayinca JSS U/17 boys’ team, saidthey were looking forward to the districtgames because they were dead set onbringing the trophy home.

The Zamokuhle and Nonkqubela U/15girls’ and boys’ teams JSS managed to win

the handball game and Majazi JSS wererunners-up and that gave these two schoolsan opportunity to represent their circuit inthe district games. Ndunge JSS came thirdbut unfortunately would not be proceedingto the district’s games.
