OR Tambo District MunicipalityMayor, Nomakhosazana Meth,said it would take the municipali-ty less than eight years to com-plete the sub-regional water
schemes underway in its local municipalities.
She said this during the State of the DistrictMunicipality address last week Friday at DansLodge.“The municipality is implementing stand
alone and sub-regional schemes that will laterbe integrated into regional schemes, in linewith the strategic vision of themunicipality onwater services,” said Meth.The water supply schemes include the Sid-
wadweni scheme, which supplies rural villa-ges in Mhlontlo and Nyandeni Local Munici-palities and the Mvumelwano scheme underthe Mhlontlo Municipality, serving more than7 000 households in Qumbu.Themayor added that the three phases of the
Port St Johns regional water supply schemehave been completed to serve the total popula-tion of Port St Johns.“Theconstructionof thedamiscurrentlyun-
derway and on completion the infrastructureinvestment in this project would be more thanR100 million,” she said.Twenty seven villages in Libode andNgqele-
ni are also to benefit from the construction ofa dam to supplement the existing dam in theMtyu River.Other regional schemes currently underway
include Upper Culunca in Mhlontlo, Flagstaffwater supply in IngquzaHill LocalMunicipali-ty (with an allocated sum of R325 million), Cof-fee Bay water supply in King Sabata Dalindye-bo (KSD) Municipality (more than R110 mil-lion) and Ntsonyini Ngqongweni supply, amulti-year project with a total of R148 millionapproved budget.Meth said that theRosedale treatmentworks
wouldalsobeextended to theLibodewater sup-ply due towater resource challenges inLibode.“The project is expected to unlock potential
development in the towns of Libode andNgqel-eni and the total approved budget for thisproject is R146 million.”Another projectMethmentioned was that of
the Upper Mhlahlane scheme which she saidwas an old project that entails the supply ofwa-
ter to a few villages in the KSD municipality.“Due to the good yield of the source and the
demand from nearby villages, this project wasextended to cover additional villages in KSD’sward 32,” added Meth.She highlighted that the scope of work in-
cluded the upgrading of the existing watertreatment works in order to meet the new de-mand from the source with its completion ex-pected in the 2015/2016 financial year.OR Tambo Acting Municipal Manager, An-
diswa Dunywa, said the municipality was alsoin the process of replacing water pipes to pre-vent pipe bursts.“New and quality water pipes are being in-

A STATEMENT made by the Zulu King Good-will Zwelithini raised ire among foreign na-tionals who are working and residing inSouth Africa.
Recently King Zwelithini said foreignerswho were involved in criminal activities andthose selling drugs must pack their bags andget out of South Africa, because they were“messing up the country, even with their fakeclothing brands”.
He also publicly announced that he won’tapologize, since he meant each and everyword he said and he had nothing to be sorryfor.
In an interview with Express the nationalcoordinator of the Protection Of Foreign Busi-ness and Citizens, Mkululi White, said state-ments of this nature, instructing foreigners togo back to their countries of origin may fuelviolence and criminal acts linked to xenopho-bia in South Africa.
“We advise King Zwelithini to withdraw hisstatement, as we believe his utterances will
create disunity in South Africa and on the Af-rican continent.” he appealed. White stronglycondemned any form of attack directed at for-eign nationals.
“We support all foreigners who are makingan honest living, complying with our coun-try’s laws and who are respecting our consti-tution. The perpetrators of violence are blindfolded and are a threat to the stability of Afri-ca and to South African economic growth. Wehave our own people who are seizing the op-portunities of democracy worldwide. If thesereckless statements made by our leaders are
not challenged and criticised, our countrywill take the same route as other economical-ly strained and destabilised countries. Ourleaders should promote peace and unity at alltimes,” said White.
. A foreign national was recently gunneddown by unknown men in his spaza shop inthe Mmangweni location. No arrests had beenmade by the time of going to press. It is allegedthat the Somalian man was alone during theattack and he was found dead the followingday. The police were not sure if anything wastaken from the shop.

IN its endeavour to intensify the fightagainst widespread irresponsible liquortrading, the Eastern Cape Liquor Board hasclosed down Nomzamo and Tshepzen tav-erns located in Mount Ayliff and MountFletcher respectively.
The areas fall under the Mzimvubu local
municipality. The closing down of the two tav-erns was part of the board’s vigorous campaignto force all licensed liquor traders to complywith the conditions of their trading licences orto run the risk of losing their licences.
According to Liquor Board spokesperson inthe Eastern Cape, Mgwebi Msiya, they will berunning such campaigns throughout the prov-ince. He said the board was extremely con-cerned about the increase in cases of inconsid-
Non-compliant taverns shutdown

al Celiwe Binta had called on the investiga-tors not to leave any stone unturned andto make sure that the perpetrators arebrought to book soon.
She also called on community membersto work with the police, in sharing infor-mation about crimes and the whereaboutsof criminals involved.
Binta also wished constable Madolo aspeedy recovery.
erate liquor trading and would make hastyinterventions to protect communitiesagainst reckless liquor trading.
Msiya said while liquor traders make aconsiderable contribution to the economy ofthe Province, it is imperative that they runtheir businesses with a greater sense of ac-countability and responsibility, and conse-quently reduce potential costs that emanatefrom the abuse of alcohol.
“The board is not going to accept any devi-ations from the regulations and invariablyliquor traders who default will lose their li-
quor licences. The board will continue to en-force compliance to liquor traders as this willassist in alleviating the socio-economic coststhat arise from alcohol abuse. The boardneeds the liquor traders to understand thatbusiness is not only about making profit, butthey (businesses) have an obligation towardsthe communities which they serve.”
He called on the communities to report cas-es of irresponsible liquor trading to the tollfree line, 080 000 0420, so that swift actioncould be taken against traders disrespectingthe conditions of trading.

THE great grandson of the late statesman,Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela, was foundguilty by the Mthatha Magistrates’ Court onan assault charge but was acquitted on acharge of pointing a firearm at the complain-ant.
Mandla Mandela’s acquittal by MagistrateNoluthando Conjwa on the charge of pointinga firearm was due to contradicting evidenceby state witnesses.
Mandla, who is the chief of Mvezo and amember of South African parliament, was ac-cused of assaulting and pointing a gun atMthatha high school teacher, Mlamli Ngudle,in a quarrel in Sprigg Street in Mthatha onOctober 5, 2013.
In his evidence, Mandla denied that hepointed a gun at the accused, stating that thefirearm was in a holster around his waist andthat people saw it while the t-shirt he waswearing lifted up during the struggle withNgudle.. During his evidence, he stressed that

he was trying to defend himself while Ngudlewas attacking him, after Ngudle’s vehiclebumped into the vehicle of bankers withwhom Mandla was having a meeting in SpriggStreet where the incident took place.
said there was no need for Mandela to haveassaulted the complainant if he was insultinghim as per his evidence before court.
Ngudle was not in court on Tuesday. Man-dela appeared calm and collected yesterdaycompared to previous appearances when hewas shaking hands and speaking openly withthe people accompanying him.
He was trying to avoid the cameras andturned his back to journalists trying to takehis picture. He was dressed in a smart navysuit, white shirt and tie.
He was accompanied by a large entourageof elders, some traditional leaders from Mve-zo, his wife and his mother, Nolusapho.
His lawyer, Billy Gundelfinger, was alsopresent in court, as was Jongikhaya Busak-we, senior prosecutor for the state.
Magistrate Conjwa postponed the case toJune 2 and 3 for sentencing.

WITH the stormy weather of winter fast ap-proaching, a man from the Matyeba Adminis-trative Area in Tsolo has resorted to sleepingin his toilet out of fear that his two-roomedhouse could collapse at any moment.
In order to make sure he is safe, the unem-ployed Sakhele Msindo (45) sleeps in the toiletwhen there are heavy rains and it is windy.
“I am living in this house with my uncle.
I am unemployed. I only get part time jobs.The situation is very bad, because the housethat I am living in can collapse at any time,”said Msindo.
When Express visited Msindo, he was sit-ting outside the house with a neighbour. Heshowed theExpress reporter inside the house.It was difficult to enter the house, since hefirst had to remove and move around a lot ofthings, including plastic which was used asa door.
Inside the room there was no sign that this
could be a place of residence for people.Msindo said that he was receiving food
parcels, but was worried about the conditionof the structure of the house.
“It is not nice to sleep in the toilet, becauseI can get sick and it smells bad. I would ap-preciate any help to get me out of this situa-tion – before I get sick.”
One resident, Florence Sibutha, couldn’thold back her tears when she told Expressabout Msindo’s situation.
“We are his neighbours, but it is hard for
us to assist, because we are also struggling tomake ends meet. It is very hard to watch himsleeping in this situation and we hope thatthere will be a solution soon,” said Sibutha.
Ward Councillor Xolani Ngoma said thatthere is a ward committee which handled ev-erything in the area.
When asked about Msindo’s situation, Ngo-ma said all the destitute families were knownand they had a list of all of them.
“I am responsible for about six areas and inall the six areas we do have needy people. TheMunicipality don’t provide houses – we de-pend on the Department of Human Settle-ments for houses,” he said.

THE International system of human rightstogetherwith the constitution of the Repub-lic of South Africa as an expression of thedeepest commitment to “ensure” that chil-dren’s rights are realized, require everyparent to register the child immediately aft-er birth.
Registration of a child after birth is notonly a legal obligation for parents, butsomething to which the child is entitled toin order to secure his or her enjoyment ofgovernment services that are necessary fordignified living.South Africa, as a signatory to a number
of international agreements, is bound topromote these rights; namely the right to aname and a nationality.These agreements define the duties of
state parties to the treaty, covenant or con-vention.The right to a name and a nationality as
enshrined in the constitution is of para-mount importance to the survival and de-velopment of the child. In the absence of abirth certificate and/or identity document(ID), the prospects of a child’s development
are slim.The child cannot be enrolled at any school.Furthermore he or she can forfeit the right
to access government services, like child sup-port grants and other forms of assistance.The UCARC has noted with great concern
the growing number of children in many vil-lages who drop out of school owing to the lackof birth certificates and/or identity docu-ments.These children become victims of their par-
ents’ negligence. It had come to the organiza-tion’s attention that more often, the rootcause for lack of birth certificateswas the factthat their parents had no ID’s themselves.Information received from some local
health practitioners revealed that most wom-en do not visit clinics during pregnancy andas a result their babies get delivered at home.This ill-informed decisionmakes it difficult
for them to register their babies at Home Af-fairs, since a clinic card is a prerequisite toapply or a child’s birth certificate.When they get rejected at Home Affairs the
parents sometimes resort to fraudulent activ-ities, like the buying of birth certificates tomake life easier. But when they apply for IDsthose fake certificates become useless as thefraudulent documents are not recognised bythe department.
COLUMN:MTHATHACHILDABUSE RESOURCECENTRE
Nameandnationality, a child’s rightThese challenges, if not tackled head-on at
this juncture, will negatively affect the futuregeneration.It becomes very complicated for the child
to get registered if the mother had no ID be-fore she passed on, especially if there was noperson who shared a surname.Many parents do not take responsibility for
registering their children or themselves foridentity documents owing to a number of fac-tors, including negligence and alcohol abuse.Some factors that contribute significantly
to the absence of identity documents for chil-dren was the conflict among family membersor spouses which result in one partner dump-ing the child with another, without havingthe necessary documentation, like a cliniccard.It becomes a long and tedious process for
the family to successfully apply for an ID forthese children.Parents should take into account the future
of the child in whatever they do, as the child’sfuture lies in their hands.Failure of a parent to apply for the child’s
identity document is a direct violation of thechild’s right to a name and a nationality.For more information, contact the UCARC

for the Nyandeni SACC, said the occasionwas aimed at providing an Easter serviceto those people who would not be able to goto their churches for the Easter weekend.“We know that some people will be at
work on Friday and also on Sunday so wedo not want them to miss out on Jesus
Christ’s seven sayings on the cross, whichis basically the gist of the Easter weekend,”said Boko.He added that theywere also encouraging
unity among all Christians within Nyande-ni, while praying for the municipality’sprogress.Winile Ngaveli from Nyandeni local mu-
nicipality said their municipality was ledby a Christian, Mayor Thoko Sokhanyile,

holders and we acknowledge their coopera-tion in all our programmes as they assistwith service delivery spiritually and other-wise,” said Ngaveli.Municipal workers, officials from vari-

I was working but I could not saveanything because I had a lot ofdebts. In 2003 I saw Great Ham's
advert in the newspaper. I contactedhim and he came to my house. Hegave me a miracle stick which costme R700,00 and he told me to put itin my wallet. Great Ham told me tostart up a small business of my own.
In only one year, I have raisedenough money to start up a bottlestore. As I am speaking now I amswing for Quantum Taxis and evenmanaged to pay my house which Igot on bond. I'm a stress free lifewith my family now and all my kids
are in school now.

Bafethu, things are happening apha ezwenisokhile.
What is a matter ngoku boys?In our knowledge a man should propose
marriage and then it is up to the womanif she accepts or not.But, nowadays things have changed in so
much that it is not a disgrace for a womanto propose marriage – if not love – to theguy.Last weekend we surrendered our Easter
church service and attended a wedding ofour former buddy who was tying the knotwith his sweetheart of six months (whoseage is close to that of his mother, if theyare not the same age).The glittering wedding took place in Ca-
la. And it was clear that the family is richincluding nomshadikazi.Mind ke our former buddy is jobless and
he never touched i-‘span’ but whenever youmeet him you will see ukuthi he is a freeman who lives a king’s life.Who paid the lobola ke if you are saying
umkhwenyane never worked?Kaloku it was sugar mama who paid ilo-
bola and she prepared the whole weddingon her own including the bookings in anexpensive hotel for the umgosi team.Anive ningahloniphi nje makwedini
umntu unenzela isihle unilalisa emahotelenijika nima ngaye emaphepheni.Nothing we can do groot man endala to
write and spread news is our daily bread
ooIminati will starve if sakuba sicingelananabantu belahla phambi kwethu sibayeke.The wedding was of a high standard, but
our worry was how long is it going to last?Because, you can see between the two
there is no love, but there is somethingwhich forced one of them to do this.Perhaps ke it will last because anyone
meeting a lady without being in love, butafter one of them propose love then they fallin love and become a close couple in thisworld, if not heading their own family.That’s life and bathi there is no age in this
thing. WOW!!Sikhona sijongile nanka amehlo ankanke
umbombo ukuba iyakuphelela laphi le in-to.
I wonder what is happening ezwenisokhile?
We recently attended the funeral of a guyfrom Khwezi kasi eUTA but we were metwth the biggest astonishment of our lives.I wonder what did you see boys at that
funeral?Okay, it’s when we started to realise that
there are people who live double lives.What do you mean boys?Get straight to the point. There is an old
man whom we used to spot at the ‘jointies’of Lamla Street in Ngaru (Ngangelizwe)and we never thought that he could be thereverend of a church.Whenever we met him, he was always
grand drunk and he even used to go to townwithout shoes. You could see by the way hewalked that he was totally drunk and hisface speaks volumes on the fact that he isa drunk.But, at this funeral we stared at the man
who looked like him and he was among thefaith leaders at the front big table, wearinga white clerical collar. WOW!!This is unbelievable. Eventually we came
closer to him, solemnly it was the guy wethought he was and the same guy whom weused to meet totally drunk in the dustystreets of Ngaru.We were wishing to hear him preach so
that we ccould hear what he preaches, be-cause he does not practice the church du-ties once he gets into Ngangelizwe.Yenye into esenza sibe booZondani, sibe
madolwanzima ukuya ezi Caweni kubathere aremany scandals involving the lead-ership in these churches.Siyanqwena as a gossip team to visit his
church just to hear what he was preaching.
WOW!! Kanti zimbi kangaka iintlokophantsi kweezi-wig
Sizibloemele eMthini namajita am sizi-dlela imbadu ngulowo nalowo uzithe siselosakhe. Kukho ke nabanye oosisi ebebehleliapha ecaleni kwethu nabo bezenzela okwa-bo.Suke ndingazi ukuba kutheni sithi si-
yabona bayasukuma bayaleqana.
Mara ingathi bebedlala kona qha kupha-zamise ukuwa kwale nto ibisentloko ko-mnye. Ngelixa ebaleka omnye lo ebeleqwakuvele kwawa le nto besisithi zinnwelezakhe. Hey!!Kwavela intloko yenkwenkwe yasezila-
lini eyolusa amathole nengathi ibidliwangamaphela.Kanti ezi nto zifihle intloko ezinje? Masi-
yeke into zabantu bayazithanda.
Khazi ebesiyaphi naye sekucaca uku-ba uzakulwa nabantu nje?
Asikho mcimbini eNgcobo na kwacacaukuba sihlutshwa ngumfana ebeze necher-ie yakhe kulo mcimbi. Lo mfana ujongekwamntu ukuba uyijonge ntoni intombiyakhe uyayifuna na. Shame, ububona uku-ba ufanele umfana wasemzini kuba kalokuphaya inkawu idlala ngesikhwebu awazikwakuba wayifumana kanjani inzwakazienomkhitha nje ngaleya. Nisive kakuhlebesingayifuni qha sibuka sikwababaza in-dalo kaThixo. Le chap nokuba uphuma nab-anye kukhona into abayoyenza ngaphandleuyalandela. Hayi yinja yomlungu ndiya-kuxelela. Mfethu mshiye endlini kungenja-lo ngeke wonwabe xa uhambe naye kona,kona kuyathathelwana xa sisiza enyaniniubufanele and awukho mhle ncam nawemaam qha ophezulu wakubabala, so non-ophela isipho sakho. Masike sinishiye kan-je until next time.
Is it true love –andwill it last?

THE oldest football club in the former Tran-skei, the Thembu Royals FC, is in a deep fi-nancial crisis which is threatening the de-mise of the club if there is no Good Samari-tan who comes forward to save it.
The Club was established in 1955 by theRoyal families ofAbaThembu, led by the lateKing Sabatha Dalindyebo, father of thepresent AbaThembuKing BuyelekhayaDal-indyebo.The Greens, as it is affectionately known
by its supporters, is playing in theVodacomLeague, but is facing relegation for next sea-son as it is sitting at third from the bottomof the league.Express was informed that the club’s
problems started after the death of their di-rector, DZ Dukada.Quality players left the club as they were
not getting paid.Three Royals supporters – Tsepo Nqe-
keto, who is an administrator now, PeleNgombane and Lunga Jijana – came to therescue of the team even though they had nomoney to run the team. They are trying tokeep it playing in the Vodacom league, sothat anyone who is interested in the clubwill get it whilst it was still playing in thisdivision.According toNqeketo they struggle to pay
match officials and do not have money toprovide food for the players or pay for theground they hire for their home matches.“To play away games is a nightmare, be-
causewedon’t havemoney tohire transportor feed our players. For instance – we needto play in Port Elizabeth soon, but we stilldon’t knowwhether wewill have transport.
“Butwhatwe like about our players, is thatthey are not expecting anything and are play-ing for the love of the game only.“Another difficulty is that our players are
still at school. Matches that are played dur-ing the week are giving us problems, espe-ciallywhenwehave to play away. Sometimeswe practice two days aweek becausewe don’thave money to transport the players to andfrom the gym,” said Nqeketo.He said that they had tried all avenues to
rescue the team and have even asked theformer legends of Thembu Royals, but it hasbeen in vain. “We are appealing to any Good
Samaritan to come and run the team and em-ploy his or her staff – we don’t have a problemwith that. We just want to keep this brand andlegacy of AbaThembu alive for the next gener-ation.”He stressed that they don’t need a Good Sa-
maritanwhowill take the teamout ofMthatha,because it is the legacy of the dominant tribein the area of Mthatha.Thembu Royals has a rich history and col-
lected a number of cups during the Transkeileague and even after the demise of the Tran-skei League.During the last season it was the only team
that hosted Premier Soccer League side Mar-itzburg United. The game was played in theMthatha 2010 stadium during the NedbankCup and attracted a huge number of soccerlovers. They unfortunately lost the game 3-1.It is also known for producing legends such
as Thabo Mngomeni, Autor Mjanqeka, KKMaxambela, Zola Wajima Dunywa and manymore. If there is no Good Samaritan for Roy-als it would follow in the footsteps ofMthathaLiverpool which demised in the Vodacomleague and was relegated in the last two sea-sons because of financial problems and notbeing properly managed.
