OPPOSITION parties came out gunsblazing at a recent special full councilmeeting at the City Hall when they
criticized Msunduzi Municipality Mayor ChrisNdlela’s first State of the City Address.
Minority Front (MF), Inkatha FreedomParty (IFP), National FreedomParty (NFP) andDemocratic Alliance (DA) members voicedtheir concerns.IFP and MF: Mayor did not address servicedeliveryIFP’s Dolo Zondi said that he was concernedabout how themunicipality spendsmoney. Hesaid that the municipality needs to revampsports fields and parks.
“We did not hear the mayor addressingissues of service delivery in underprivilegedcommunities. Inareaswhereamakhosireside,there is a lack of service delivery. These areashaveno toiletsandnowatersupply.Themayordidnot tellushowyouthunemploymentwillbeaddressed,” said Zondi.
He also urged the mayor to tackle the lackof water service delivery in the Vulindlelaareas.
MF’s Rhadia Bee Singh said that servicedeliveryhas worsenedover theyears.Shesaidthat thecallcentrephonelinesarealwaysbusy.NFP: Mayor did not address unemploymentissuesNFP’sThokozaniMagwazasaidthattheparty’scommentonNdlela’sspeechshouldbetakenasconstructive criticism, with no politicalobjectives.
“Themayormentioned that the traffic in thecity has been sorted out but if you go toPietermaritz Street, Berg and Retief Streetaround 10am everyday, you will find illegalparking and traffic congestion. The mayormentioned nothing about job opportunities,”said Magwaza.
He said that the municipality should stophiring people on temporary contracts andpeople shouldnotbehiredbecause theyareaf-filiated to the ANC.
“There are many unemployed people whoare desperate for jobs. There should be justicein the hiring process,” said Magwaza.DA: How will the municipality tackle theescalating outstanding debt?DA caucus leader Bill Lambert said thatNdlela’sspeechwasfullofpoliticalrhetoricandshort on the vision and long term plan to takePietermaritzburg forward.
“The mayor failed to mention one of ourgreat weaknesses, and that is the everescalatingoutstandingdebt.AsIspeak,thiscityis now owed R1.4 billion and we seem totallyincapable of taking the necessary steps torecover the money. Meter reading is still
fraught with problems and our meter readersseem to be lacking in the necessary training.
“No mention was made of the ongoingproblem of illegal street trading. The mayortalks of us being a world class city and tells ofstalwarts like Harry Gwala, John Dube, AlbertLuthuli and other illustrious predecessors.Whatwould they thinkof our citywith somanypower outages and such appalling publictoilets, if you can even find them?” saidLambert.
He added that the mayor did not mentionhow the municipality would deal withunauthorized buildings or illegal businesses.
“We are great at making bylaws but we areincapable of policing them,” said Lambert.
DA councillor Rooksana Ahmed said,“Street lights are either left on during the dayor never on at all. It often takesmonths for thestreet lights to be repaired and this often leadsto crime - oneof thebiggest issues affecting thecity,” she said.ANC: We have a good story to tellANC’sMikeTarrsaidthatitisimportanttothinkof the 2030 big city vision. He said that thepopulation of Msunduzi has tripled over theyears but the municipality still tries to fulfilservice delivery objectives.
Ndlela said that illegal trading betweenBoshoff and Retief Street is being attended to.He said that it is important for themunicipalityto acknowledge its setbacks so that it cansucceed in meeting its service deliveryobjectives.
“Wedohaveagoodstory to tell, consideringwherewecomefrom.Weneedtomakethiscitya business-friendly city. The new organogramis in the process of being implemented in thehope that thechallengesrelated toshortagesofstaff, which bring about a lack of servicedelivery, will be resolves.
“There is a problem with governmentdebtors and we will deal with that,” explainedTarr.

INACCESSIBLEpropertiesareahugesetback for Msunduzi Municipalitymeter readers.
This is one of the reasons whysome of the meter readings are stillestimated.
AttherecentExecutiveCommittee(Exco) meeting, executive managerfor the internal audit unit, PetrusMahlaba, said that this is a problemin all areas in the Msunduzijurisdiction.
“There is a big challenge in termsof locked properties and those thathave dogs,” said Mahlaba.
Hesaidthateachmeterreaderhashis or her own dedicated area formeter reading, and this has mademeter reading a lot more effectivebecause they know where they canlocate the meters.
The issue of estimated meterreadings was previously highlightedby the Auditor-General (AG).
Thiswasanitemwhichcausedthemunicipality to obtain a qualifiedreport from the AG for the previousfinancial year. Since the AG’s reportlast year, council has made strides toachieve 100% in its readings.
As the meter readers are paid perread, the deputy municipal managerfor economic development Dr RayNgcobo said that council has revisedthe remuneration of the meterreaders, as they are trying to makesure that meter readers are paid aliving wage.
The report on meter readingstatistics for April states that compe-

REMAIN vigilant with yourchildren, especially babies.This is the plea from law
enforcement officials to parents.HomeAffairshasbecomeatarget
forbabysnatchings,aftertwobabieswere recently taken by strangers.
Policeareappealingtopeoplenottolettheirchildrenbeheldorcarriedby someone they don’t know.
While both kidnappings fromHome Affairs this year had happyendings,thismightnotalwaysbethecase. The first baby to be snatchedfrom the offices in LangalibaleleStreet was Olwethu Madlala.
He was taken in April and foundtwo months later, thanks to vigilant
staffmembersatEdendaleMallwhospottedthebabywiththekidnapper,Nokulunga Patience Mzila.
The baby was reunited with hismother andMzilawasarrested. Shewas released on bail and thematteris still in court.
Earlier thismonth, another babywas taken by a woman at HomeAffairs inmuch the samemanner asthe first.
Fanele Asemahle Dlaminiwas inthe care of his aunt at the officeswhen a stranger befriended them.After three hours of waiting in thequeue together, she ran away withthe baby while the aunt wasdistracted.
Home Affairs regional manager,Thamsanqa Luthuli, spoke outsaying that people need to be more
vigilant with their children becausetheir offices are always busy. Shesaid that there have been signs putup in the offices appealing forvigilance.
Lucas Holtzhausen, director ofSafe City, said that visiting HomeAffairs was an eye opener.
“It’s quite a shock to see howmany mothers come there toregister their babies. They arenormally alone and in manyinstances, you can see that they arefrom rural areas. This is part of theproblem. In the rural areas, every-one knows each other in a specificareaandthereisastrongtrust factoramongst the inhabitants. Whenthesemothers then come to the city,theyareunawareofthedangersthatlurk in areas such as Home Affairsand also near ATM’s,” he said.
Holtzhausen said that there are anumber of security officers on dutyat the entrance to Home Affairs andtheyneed tosensitizemothersnot tolet their babies out of their sight.
“We also find that mothers willhandtheirtoddlerstototalstrangersoutsideashopandthengoshopping.Other mothers will leave theirchildren unattended outside shopsonly to find themwanderingoff.Oneof our staff members who saw suchan incident rushed from the ControlRoom into the street to get the childto safety whilst the police wereinformed,” he said.

THE Pietermaritzburg Airport will soonget its own coffee shop.
The coffee shop tender has beenadvertised and the matter is with theMsunduzi Municipality procurementbusiness unit.
Addressing the Executive Commit-tee (Exco), the deputy municipal
managerforeconomicdevelopmentDrRay Ngcobo said, “Our key issue was tosecure a second airline to operate fromthe Pietermaritzburg Airport. As aresult, we have had to make provisionsfor SA Express. We have advertised forexpressions of interest and that mattershould not take more than two weeksfrom now.”
From March to April this year, thenumberofflight movementsincreased
PMB airport to get a coffee shop
from 812 to 1020respectively.
The Pietermaritz-burg Airport has seen agrowing number ofpassengers over theyears and the coffeeshop is set toaccommodate agrowing number ofpeople who visit theairport.
In May, thePietermaritzburgAirport displaced theRichards Bay Airport asthe second busiestairport in KZN.
The KZN Depart-ment of Treasurystated that the passen-ger numbers at theairport had been thriv-ing since 2010, and thatthese numbers havebeen increasing annu-ally between 20 000and 25 000.
The PMB MsunduziAirport, previouslyknown as Oribi Airport,was first licensed by theCivil Air Board in March1931 and it was officiallyreopened in July 1967after extensive renova-tions.
tency of meter readers isalso another obstacle toachieving 100% correctmeter reading.
The reports states thatcouncil still finds somechallenges with some ofthe readings provided asthey are not accurate.This costs council finan-cially as theyhave to sendother readers to doublecheck suspiciousreadings.

THE Msunduzi Municipality isadamant that it is going to root outfraud and corruption within itsbusiness units.
The municipality is expected tolaunch the much-anticipatedanti-fraud, anti-corruption,whistle-blowing policy and corruptionstrategy by 8 August.
At the recent Executive Commit-
tee (Exco)meeting,MsunduzimayorChris Ndlela said that they havemoved the launch date to 8 Augustsubject to confirmation at their nextfull council meeting.
“All of us are for clean govern-ance. Integrity is doing somethingrightwhether somebody sees you ornot. There must always be a stick,and for us to use that stick, we mustbe able to protect the whistleblow-ers,” said Ndlela.
Executive manager for the
internal audit unit, Petrus Mahlaba,said that fraud and corruption casesof less than R100 000 will be dealtwith by the police.
“The establishment of theScorpions, now called the Hawks,was not done to deal with fraud andcorruption of less value. That is whywe have stipulated that it (fraud andcorruption) should be R100 000 ormore for it to go to the Hawks,” hesaid.

WE are all looking for solutions to delay the signs ofageing and to have a wonderful glowing skin thatis free from any kind of blemishes.
In ancient times, the Romans used lactic andtartaric acid from milk and wine to perfect theircomplexions. These days, we have newer technolo-gies that deliver more promising results.
Hyperpigmentation refers to all the uneven tonesofourskin. Itoccursinallracesbutismorelikelyfoundin caucasian, olive and Black skin.The causes:>> Exposure to sunlight. We may not be aware ofit, but even a few minutes a day in the sun cancause harm.>> Hormones play a relatively big role inpigmentation.>> Certain medications can also do damage.>> Neglect and usage of improper skin care canleave your skin scarred.>> Acne scarring.But don’t despair, there is a solution.>> The most important long term solution is touse a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.>> If you are swimming or are spending a day atthe beach, you need to reapply sunblock everytwo hours, regardless of the strength of the sunprotection factor.>> The best way to treat pigmentation is toexfoliate the epidermal cells as this inhibitsmelanin and stops the transfer of existingmelanin from spreading to other cells.>> A proper skin care routine is vital as what wedo daily has long term effects. Using products
which have ingredients like Vitamin C, Aurbutin,Ascorbic Acid, Glykolic Acid and cerolides areimportant. Also the higher the ingredients are inthe products, the quicker the results.>> Salon treatments like microdermabrasion, skinpeeling and soft laser treat specific problems likeacne, wrinkles, pigmentation, scarring and pittedskin with a more achievable, quick result. Alsoremember that the longer you have the problem,the long it will take to treat.>> Glykolic skin peeling is a dermatological peelwhich visibly improves the appearance of yourskin without any side effects. It is specially adapt-ed to treat wrinkles, loss of elasticity, lack ofradiance, hyper pigmentation, microcystic acneand skin irregularities.There are different strengths of superficial peels.Peels can also be performed on anyone from theage of 13 at anytime.For more information,contact AsheenaLarkin atGlamourousat 074 1970991.
