REPORTER

THE official opposition in the Eastern Cape,theDemocraticAlliance (DA), describedEast-ern Cape premier, Phumulo Masualle’s stateof the province address as a “very flat affair”in which he failed to address the two very im-porant issues of corruption and lack of ser-vice delivery by high ranking officials whoare not being held accountable.

“We do not want to criticise premier Phu-mulo Masualle unfairly, but it was evident

that therewas very little enthusiastic supportfrom the ranks of his own party during andafter his State of the Province Address. It wasa very flat affair,” said Athol Trollip, EasternCape leader of the DA, in a statement afterthe premier’s state of the province address inBhisho on Friday.Trollip said the premier must be commend-

ed for his plans for the Eastern Cape economyand job creation, as well as his reference tothe state of rural- and arterial roads in theprovince. The DA also welcomed his stanceon the provision of reliable electricity and the

role of green energy therein.“We also appreciate his call for fiscal disci-

pline and efforts at getting more value for lessmoney. This is important during these reces-sionary times. “Unfortunately the premierdedicated only four sentences to corruption inhis speech. His proposed partnership with theSpecial Investigation Unit (SIU) to speed upprobes into corruption cases cannot be takenseriously, in view of the contemptible attitudepresident Jacob Zumahas towards the SIU andall other security agencies,” said Trollip.Trollip also bemoaned the fact that the pre-

mier said nothing about improving servicedelivery in the province. “He said nothingaboutMECsandofficialswhoshouldbe firedif they do not do their jobs. This implies thatthey will continue to draw salaries regard-less of their efforts and outcomes thereof.“Until corruption and accountability is

taken seriously by the ANC government (ar-resting high profile politicians and officialsguilty or corruption) we will continue tohave more of the same where corruptionerodes confidence, opportunity and servicedelivery,” said Trollip.

in themedia industry, had beenworking forPondoNews since 2003. Hewas described byhis colleagues in the media industry as aperson who was very dedicated to his work.They said thenews of his passinghadbeen

a huge shock. It had robbed the industry ofa good writer who was very brave.According to his colleagues Boy-Boy once

managed to get photos evenwhen others hadrun away. They were chased by police withteargas from the Kokstad prison when in-mates had set the cells alight.“He was the only one who managed to get

the photos of the burning cells. He was a goodwriter and when I asked him where he hadlearnt to write, he told me that he was alwaysreading newspapers and learning from them.“His intro’s were very good,” said ZoliswaMayila, owner of Izwi le Afrika newspaper inKokstad, whowas speaking on behalf of otherjournalists.Pondo News Managing Director, Max Mxa-

Boy-boy as a good,humble person anda multi-talentedjournalist wholoved his work.“We were still

looking forward tohis beautiful workbut God decided totake him. It will bedifficult to find aperson who will beable fill his gap atPondo News,” saidthe message fromMxabo’s letter.Representatives

THE community must work with the munici-pality to address the social challenge of cabletheft which has left many people in the KingSabata Dalindyebo (KSD)Municipality in thedark for days.

This was said by KSD Mayor NonkolisoNgqongwa during a media breakfast held atthe municipality’s council chambers lastweek.Criminals have seized the opportunity that

loadshedding presents for them to steal cablesduring the outage time.“These criminals disguise themselves as

road workers dressed in work suits. We havelaid charges,” said the Mayor.She urged the affected communities, includ-

ing Mbuqe, Ngangelizwe and Ikhwezi town-ships, to be patient while the officials were re-sponding to the matter.“Weacknowledge that the entire countryhas

aproblemwith load sheddingbut the criminalshave seen an opportunity to steal the cablesduring theoutageperiod; hence for someareas,

the power does not go back onwhen it is sup-posed to,” she said.Ngqongwa said the municipality is in the

process of convening aCrime Summit to dis-cuss ways to decrease crime in the area andthe issue of cable theftwill also be discussed.“Wewill come upwithworkable solutions

to deal with these crimes once and for all.

We call upon KSD citizens to be our eyes andreport these enemies of development whenthey see them,” said Ngqongwa.KSD Communications Manager, Sonwabo

Mampoza, said the reckless act was costingthe municipality millions of rands whichcould be better used to render much neededservices in the community.

SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE

DESPITE the declaration of the governmentto eradicate mud schools in the Eastern Cape(EC), there are schools which are still facingthis plight, especially in the deep rural areasof the former Transkei where teachers arestill teaching in dilapidated mud structures.

Dedeni Junior Primary School (JPS) inLower Ntafufu Administrative Area, Port StJohns, is among the schools where learners(280) are being taught in unbearable condi-tions in mud structures.AtDedeni (JPS) themud structures are fall-

ing apart. This is seen by many as posing ahuge danger to learners and teachers alike.Express heard that community members

who had been helping to maintain the class-rooms by repairing them with mud to be inan acceptable state, were tired and not will-ing to continue.As a result, the classrooms are now in a

very poor state and falling apart.The learners had been tasked to smear cow

dung to maintain the floors every week.Their daily tasks include sweeping the floorsbefore lessons start as, after school, the class-rooms are used as a shelter for goats.The school was built by community mem-

bers who started it from scratch in 2009 usingtimber, and sticks with mud.Later on they registered it with the Depart-

ment of Education.Thiswas done because of the long distances

that needed to be travelled by their childrento attend schools in neighbouring villages.There is only one toilet for teachers and

learners to relieve themselves in a nearbybush.Some learners are taught under the trees

if it is not raining, but when it rains theyare all squashed into one little mud class-room.According to learners all the classrooms

leak and they have to have buckets readyto catch the water when it starts to rain.The school was built with few and small

windows. According to the teachers therearen’t enough windows and more fresh airis needed.“This is a health hazard and the situation

here is not conducive at all to give decenteducation to the young learners who arehungry for it,” said the principal of theschool Nomahlubi Jokazi.According to her she had been to all cor-

ners to get help.“I’ve tried government departments and

the private sector, but all in vain. No onecomes back to me as promised,” said Joka-zi. Shemade an appeal to any Good Samari-tans to come forward to help the youngminds of this school to get a decent educa-tion.Express contacted the Eastern Cape De-

partment of Education regarding its decla-ration.Spokesperson for the department Mali-

bongweMtima said the programme of erad-icating mud structures in the province wasan ongoing process, before the call was cutoff due to poor reception.He was sent a text message for further re-

sponse, but at the time of going to press noreply had been received.

Bafethu, you need to respect life which Godgave to you.

Do you knowukuthi today you can sleep be-ing amillionaire, eMzansi, but itwas also pos-sible that the following day you can wake upwith nothing and be counted among the poorpeople?

So, if God had blessed you with anything itmust be yours and not affect the people nextto or around you.

People turn to become arrogant once theybecome rich.

We were watching with sympathy a guywho used to drive only Mercedes Benz vehi-cles and he used to ‘class’ (undermine) uswhen we are driving our Turu-turu. He wasmonied then affording everything.

Shame, last week we saw the guy walkingbare footed from town to Northcrest if notHillcrest eUTA, but somewhere nearRichard-son Park exwaye ubhaka (carrying a smallbag from his back). Tjoe, life is changing real-ly.

The guy was not drinking cheap and heused to stay in Mthatha Country club kuzekuse kwatsho DJ Merlon.

Wayengaqhelwa and he was a tough guyubonanjenaweukubangekeubambelelenok-uba angakuqhwaba ngempama but now he isa shadow of himself because he had lost a lotof weight and you can see he suffered fromstress since there were nomoreMercs and he

could drink whatever he could be offered ifhe still drinks.

My brother we are not laughing at you be-cause we have a hope that God will give youanother chance one day.

But from now on you need to respect whatGod had given you not underestimate otherskuba uyakuyohlutha nje ngokuba enzile.

And bear in mind that there are many peo-ple out there who are battling out to attainwealth, so the chance tha you misused wouldnever return.

Nevertheless, pray to God to bring backyour happiness. Surely youwill respect it thistime around. I wonder aphi lamantombazanaayemahle kakhulu udla ngokuhamba nawoxa sowumana ukuxwaya ibag ngala ndlela.

There is a time to lose direction in life

Do you know ukuthi if you were unfortu-nate to get the right partner at a young ageyou could end up living a life of a headlesschicken especially when it comes to intimaterelationship?

So we are warning young people, to choosetheir partners whilst the time was still rightbecause time is going.

That’s why we witness old women being in-volved with boys with the same age as theirfirst borns.

Kanti nasemajiteni kunjalo wofika umntusedwaba nabantwana abancinane abekuba

sebafazini babantu because he lost directionin life. There was an old woman in ChithwaeNtelly (Mt Ayliff) who lives this life.

This lady was changing Ben 10’s like socksor pa…ash masithule.

I wonder what her children are sayingwhen seeing that practice. Mhle yena, marano guy at her age is still interested to her be-cause they know her.

Uyazi ke dear sisters once waziwa endawe-ni kunzima ukuba ufumane the lifelong part-ner especially xa usaziwa ngezinto ezi-nega-tive. Usisi ngoku akana-direction becauseeven kwaba Ben 10’s there was no future, uza-kumthini umntwana it’s just a play.

Sons if not daughters of the soil try to getoomaqondana kusakhanya kuba liyatshonailanga.

Lithatha obesamnyango limbeke em-sam

Izakudida ke le siyithetha ngasentla maraabanikazi bayo bayayazi. Eintlek, le nto ngo-lwimi lwakuyo ithi izulu lithatha obesemsamlimbeke emnyango, obesamnyango limbekeemsam. Le nto ifana nale ithi ivili liyajikele-za. Khazi kuyakwatheni kwezi ntwana zom-gosi? Asiboni ntwana ekwakukhona iibhasikokwayo sisafunda iHigh School ngoko.

Le ntwana ngoku icela umsebenzi apha ku-thi. Zazimhlukumeza ke ezo ntwana umntuowayesebenza kowazo. Sikhumbula one day

kukhona i-cousin brother kaGesh eyayi-driv-er khona xa isithi iyakumnkalela kufunekeizimele kuba izakubuzwa ukuba imali yo-kunkala iyithatha phi. Ibinganqabanga eyo-kuthiwa weba imali yakuzo.

Mara lo mntu uyasebenza uyamkela aphakowazo. Isimanga apho sikhona kukuba az-ithethi nto xa kunkalelwa zona kwaye ziban-yanzela ukuba bankale de imali iphele.

Njengokuba thina zihlupheki si-busy sil-ungiselela amakamva ethu zona azidli ngak-uzihlupha kuba yonke into ikhona kumawa-zo, kudekiwe. And ubudenge bazo kukucingaukuba obo butyebi bukayise or unina buyak-uhlala buhleli.

Tell them gossip team. Zilibale ukuba bob-omzali and nguye owakubilelayo. Okay, lentwana ibona uGesh esoloko efika ngeemotoezahlukeneyo edladleni and iibhasi azisekho.Iizincame icele umsebenzi kuba sekuyintonje yejiki phaya ezilalini emana iqhuba ama-tlere-tlere eevan zakowayo ezashiyekayo im-ana kuthutha abantu.

Inkinga ke uGesh akanawo omnye umse-benzi ngaphandle kwe-gossiping and ke yonayile yayeka ichance ikhonayayeka isikolo ya-bhibha neebhasi.

Ziphi ngoku? Nabo ke ubomi.UBawo uyakutyhilela umntu usaphila in-

gakumbi obehlukumeza abantu phambikwakho umjongile. Masiniyeke kanje ning-ade nidikwe zezi ndaba zethu siyabuya nextweek nazo zishushu uyakuzipholisela.

Life is tough

SEVERAL rugby teams participated infriendly games over the weekend at the Wal-ter Sisulu Univesity (WSU) sport grounds inBika Campus, Butterworth in preparation forthe start of the league in April.

The first game of the day was played be-tween the Walter Sisulu University Ladiesand the Ngculu Ladies rugby team.During this game the Ngculu ladies dis-

played quality rugby and fitness. Although

they won the game with a score of 15-12, itwas not an easy game for them, since WalterSisulu University’s ladies were equal to thetask.The second game – played between themale

rugby teams of Comrades and WSU – was amatch inwhich coacheswere testing the read-iness, fitness levels and strengths of theirplayers. Different combinations were alsotried while evaluating the readiness of bothteams for the season.Comrades showed their intention of win-

ning right from the start of the game. They

passed the ball very well, forming good line-outs and also defending collectively. Bothteams were determined to win the match.Comrades utilized most of their chances withtheir passing skills and the ball was quick toreach their wings. They had fast players whoscored most of the tries and registered a 17-7victory against WSU.The Comrades winning coach, Enock King,

said he used the friendly match to assess hisplayers to see how far they were with theirfitness levels in preparation for the start ofthe season and for the Easter tournament.

“By playing in friendly matches like this,we are trying to keep our players in shape andalso assess the readiness of our players beforethe kickoff of the league in April,” said King.

. The results of the ABC Motsepe SoccerLeague games played this past weekend areas follows: FC Buffalo 0-0 Mthatha Bucks,Mthatha City 1-2 La Liga, Morning Stars 1-1MattaMilan, Kokstad Liverpool 4-3 JBMilan,Tembu Royals 0-0 Highbury, Zimbane killers1-1 Tornado, Angavu Stars 4-0 FC Elliot andSUBS 3-1 Real City.
