THE senior manager in the office of the Mu-nicipal Manager in King Sabatha Dalindyebo,Jabu Njomane, is taking his employers, KSDmayor Nonkoliso Nkgqongwa and Municipal

Manager Zama Mnqanqeni, to court for R2,3million.

This follows on the municipality failing tocomply with or implement a court order in fa-vour of Njamoane which was issued in 2013.

Njomane lodged a case against the munici-pality after KSD failed to appoint him as act-ing municipal manager despite a resolutionwhich stated that he was eligible to be ap-pointed as acting municipal manager in theabsence of the full-time Municipal Manager.

This resolution also stated that he would beremunerated for that and he would receive acell phone allowance.

Njomane said he had never received that.Instead, when the municipal manager took amonth’s leave the KSD executive mayor ap-pointed Buzwe Soldati to act as a municipalmanager.

After a court case over the matter the Mt-hatha High Court ruled in favour of Njomane.

“I was expecting them to pay my money butuntil now it has not been done. That is whyI have decided to take legal action again,” saidNjomane.

Njomane’s lawyer, JA Le Roux, confirmedthe court order that was issued on November21, 2013 in favour of his client.Express tried several times to get hold of

KSD Muniapal Manager Zama Mnqanqeni,but all attempts were in vain. The spokesper-son for the municipality, Sonwabo Mampoza,promised to respond on behalf of the munici-pality but when contacted again on Mondayhe was not answering his phone and could notbe reached before going to print.

THE Public Prosecutions Mthatha division re-centlyheldasessionwiththe localmediatoshareinformation about its programmes and to shedsome light on their operation.

Director,AdvocateBarryMadolo, clarified thekinds of cases they take to court and those thatneed the regional court’s attention.“Firstly, with the new system, the regional

court cannowhandle any case because theynowhave the same jurisdiction as the high courtwhen it comes to sentencing,” said Madolo.For this reason there were now more murder

and robbery cases being heard in the regionalcourt.Even though the system has changed, depend-

ing on the complexity of a case, some cases werestill sent to the high court.As an example he sited the Tholeni incident

whereBulelaniMabhayi (40) allegedly rapedandmurdered about 20 women and children from1997 and was arrested in 2012.Mabhayi was found guilty on all counts and

was sentenced to 25 life sentences by the Butter-worth High Court in September 2013.

Madolo said this was one of the biggest casesthe province had ever handled and he highlycommended the SAPS for a job well done.“The Tholeni matter could easily have been a

district court matter, but we considered the factthat it wasn’t just an ordinarymurder case – thisis a serial killer and it would be wise to send thecase to the High court,” he said.Madolo cleared up somemisconceptions with-

in the community regarding the justice systempertaining to the release of suspects andcases be-ing withdrawn.He said when a case had been withdrawn, po-

lice or investigating officers are given time togathermore information about the case at hand.“We cannot prosecute without evidence and

when we withdraw cases, it does not mean theyare struck from the roll. I can admit that maybefrom our side we fail to inform the families in-volvedontheprogressof thecaseandpeoplestartto panic – which is understandable,” he said.He said they could not keep a suspect in jail

while therewas no evidence because that personcould sue them.Cases are then withdrawn and returned to

court as soon as all the necessary evidence wasgathered.

A SECURITY guard (47) was gunned down during anarmed robbery in Lusikisiki’s Central Business Dis-trict last week Wednesday.

The robbery took place at the Dlamantshontsho Su-permarket at about 4.30pm, when four men stormedinto the supermarket. They waved their guns and or-dered everyone to lie on the floor.Gunfire ensued between the security guard and the

robbers and it is believed that the security guard gotshot during the gun battle with the robbers. Policespokesperson, CaptainMduduziGodlwana, confirmedthe incident and said there was no money taken fromthe supermarket, since they believe the robbers weredisturbed by the guard. Captain Godlwana said whenpolice arrived on the scene, they discovered the bodyof the security guard a few kilometres away from theshop and next to it there were 12 empty cartridges.He saidnoarrests havebeenmadeyet, but thepolice

THE long-standing relationship betweenNedbank Corporate Property Finance andleading SA property development and in-vestment group, Billion, is once again deliv-ering economic development opportunitiesin the Eastern Cape.

The partners recently announced thecompletion of a deal that will see NedbankCorporate Property Finance providingR1.1 billion in finance to fund the develop-ment of the BT Ngebs Mall in Mthatha inthe Eastern Cape.

The funding will enable the Billion Groupto complete the third regional shoppingmall development by the group in the lastyear, and will result in the construction ofMthatha’s largest shopping centre of itskind in the region.

It will service approximately 390 000 exist-ing households in an area with a current re-tail undersupply of 477 341 m2.

Located just off the freeway on ErrolSprings Avenue, the mall offers easy accessand egress, as well as 1 975 parking bays.

According to Ken Reynolds, regional ex-ecutive of Nedbank Corporate Property Fi-

nance in Gauteng, the successful conclu-sion of the finance transaction further ce-ments the long-standing partnership thatexists between the bank and Billion Group,and demonstrates the value that can be un-locked through close working relation-ships between financiers and developers inSA.

“Given the current economic and marketconditions, coupled with a competitiveSouth African property finance sector, theimportance of trusting and synergistic rela-tionships between developers and finan-ciers cannot be emphasised enough.

“It is as a direct result of this kind of rela-tionship that has been nurtured betweenBillion and Nedbank over the years that thisdeal could be concluded in a way that addsvalue to both parties, while also contribut-ing to much needed economic developmentand social upliftment in the regions andcommunities in which the mall is beingbuilt,” said Reynolds.

Sisa Ngebulana, CEO of Billion Group, al-so points to the value of relationships as keyto the development of SA’s property indus-try, particularly in terms of the transforma-tion that must take place in order to secureits sustainability.

“There is still significant scope in SouthAfrica for growth in black-owned propertydevelopment and investment companies,but this much needed growth will only befully facilitated through forward thinkingpartnerships like the one Billion Group en-joys with Nedbank Corporate Property Fi-nance,” Ngebulana explained.

Reynolds echoed this sentiment, pointingto Billion’s impeccable track record, strongmanagement and proven development andinvestment acumen as reasons for thebank’s willingness to invest not only in thelatest mall development, but recently alsoits Forest Hill Mall in Centurion, Gauteng,and Bay West Mall in Port Elizabeth.

Among them, these three deals bring Ned-bank’s total current funding of develop-ments by Billion Group to R3.3 billion, in-cluding mezzanine and senior debt facili-ties.

In explaining the bank’s willingness to in-vest so heavily in Billion Group’s recent re-tail development projects, Reynolds pointsto the relative resurgence in retail invest-ment, particularly in the Eastern Cape, asa key factor.

“Given the retail sector’s potential todrive economic growth, employment and

community upliftment, Nedbank is morethan happy to get behind an organisationlike Billion Group that is not only highly in-vested in the region, but also serves as anexample of what can be achieved through ef-fective and sustainable transformation.”

Construction has already commenced onthe 58 808m² BT Ngebs Mall which is locatedon the busy Errol Spring Avenue in south-ern Mthatha, directly across the road fromthe city’s new sports stadium.

Anchor tenant commitments have beensecured from Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Edgarsand Woolworths, and the mall will offer atenant mix of 85% nationals, 17% local orline shops, and 2% franchises.

“BT Ngebs Mall will not only create thou-sands of sustainable jobs and entrepreneur-ial opportunities but our R60 million infra-structure investment will also assist in ad-dressing Mthatha’s road, electricity andother infrastructure challenges,” addedNgebulana,

“Mthatha is a key centre of developmentin the Eastern Cape, and the BT Ngebs Mallhas the potential to raise the value this eco-nomic hub adds, not just to the immediatesurrounding communities, but to the regionas a whole,” concluded Reynolds.

IN terms of the Election Timetable publishedby the Independent Electoral Commission(IEC) last week, political parties intending tocontest the May 7 national and provincial elec-tions, had until 5pm yesterday, (March 12) tosubmit candidates and to pay election deposits.

Parties contesting the election of the Nation-al Assembly may submit regional lists and na-tional lists or regional lists only.Those contest-ing the provincial elections must submit a listof candidates for each provincial election.

The lists of candidates may not exceed thenumber of seats in the respective legislativebodies; for example the number of candidateson the national list of the National Assemblymust not exceed 200 as this is the number of

seats reserved for the national list allocation.There will be no opportunity to supplement

the listsof candidates following thedeclarationof results. In the event that a party wins moreseats than the number of candidates on theirlist, such extra unallocated seats will be forfeit-ed.

Parties contesting all elections will thereforesubmit 19 lists (1 national, 9 regional and 9 pro-vincial).

With an election imminent, the Commissionmust determine the reserved number of re-gional seatsperprovince.Theregional listsareused to determine half of the 400 seats in theNational Assembly.

in the Government Gazette on February 26 asfollows: Regions and regional seats: EasternCape: 26; Free State: 11; Gauteng: 48; KwaZulu-Natal: 40; Limpopo: 19; Mpumalanga: 15; NorthWest 13; Northern Cape: 5; Western Cape: 23and National: 200.

The allocations were assigned using themost recent voter registration numbers for theprovinces following the final registrationweekend.

The candidate lists and documentation willbe available for inspection by the public, politi-cal parties andother interested stakeholders atthe national office of the Electoral Commissionfrom March 28 to 31. Anyone wishing to lodge

an objection against a candidate is required todo so in writing to the Commission not laterthan April 1. He/she is also required to servea notice of objection on the party concerned.

The deposit for parties contesting the Na-tional Assembly is R200 000 (up from R180 000in the previous election) while parties contest-ing provincial legislatures will pay R45 000 (upfrom R40 000) per provincial election. A partycontesting the national and all provincial elec-tionswill thereforebe required topayadepositof R605 000. These rates were last increased in2009. Parties need win only one seat in the Na-tional Assembly or in a provincial legislatureto get their deposit back.

THE Umgosi team would like to give athumbs-up to traffic officers who were con-ducting operations at all entrances of UTAand even in the CBD a couple of weeks ago.

We were not aware that the people who aretransporting us in taxis or combis, do nothave drivers’ licences or a permit to transportpeople.

But all along their driving ability was mak-ing us suspect. You see, our lives were in dan-ger because we just boarded the taxis not ask-ing about their papers. Oh!! It was more thanthe word ‘nice’ when traffic officials towedaway taxis that were illegally parked in town.

Perhaps the drivers of UTA and surround-ings will learn to obey the rules of the road.

You know what? It is not rare to see the driv-er of a vehicle in UTA just stop in front of youwithout signalling or even an apology be-cause bazicingela bodwa.

Keep it up ke gents, by doing so you arebringing back the image of original UTA, notlo siwubonayo ngoku.

Some drivers are afraid to drive in thistown like Gesh’s father because of the reck-less driving in this town.

You see ke umgosi team is praising whenthere is a need to do so. But there is a trafficofficer who spoiled the whole effort. Ngubani

ngoku lowo i-gossip seyisincoma? The guy isdriving a black VW with CA number plates –we failed to take down the registrationnumber. What did he do?

We were driving our Turu-turu down NelsonMandela Drive when we saw this car speedinglike Michael Schumacher. The guy even wentthrough a red robot. Undixelele ke ukuba aban-tu bafunda ntoni kuni nizitraffic officers nisid-la amarobot?

We were astonished when we saw this wasa traffic officer in full uniform. Mnyama njelo mfana u-active kakhulu apha ekubambenikanti naye wophula umthetho.

Practise what you preach my bru.

Ukushiye njani kanti mmbi?

Uyazi okunye kuyaxaka nyhani apha e-zweni sokhile. Yintoni kuni makwedini om-gosi? Kaloku besizityela umngqusho nenya-ma la kwaMaDlamini eMamela apho ke si-tya khona. Sihleli ecalenikwamantombazana ayi 3. Uyabazi ke oosisixa bedibene ngokubalisa nengxoxo yabofuthi ihlala ingabanye okanye omnye umn-tu.

Kukhona le ibindana kucaca ukuba yashi-ywa esokeni latshata omnye ngoku wonyeli-sa lo wathathwayo apha ebanganeni bakheukuba kukhala oosister bakhe (umyeni)ukuba yintoni na le wayithathayo imbi kan-gaka ingafundanga nokufunda. Uze ke sisiusixelele ukuba oosisi bangena ndawonikweyabantu ababini. Uze ubaxelele ukubabathi ngapha eMampondweni uze ungayi-ngeni indaba yamagutsha. Naye ude ang-qine ukuba hayi shame, mbi la sisi. Ude athiukhe wababona behamba bobabini. “Aba-fanelananga tu bobabini.” Mmawwu, bubuh-lungu bentliziyo dade, khazi wakushiya kan-jani kanti usisi lo mbi nje? Kuyacaca mossukuba kukhona apho wawungalenzi khonaixesha washiyeka nobuhle bakho wahambanendoda le yena uNobubi. Ungaba muhle un-xibe kakuhle, ufunde futhi, ubenemaliubenakho konke mara inking’ ila. Ukheuyive nengoma isisho lokho. Isimanga ke na-lo utsho le nto asiboni nanto intle ebonaabanye ababi nje. Uyabona ke sihlala si-yikhuza le nto yabantu abahamba bego-ssiper ngabanye, sithi esinelolungelo, so sisihlukana nomzi wabantu wena ushiyiwe qhaqala ubomi obutsha uxolise intliziyo yakho.Uvile moss or uthenge ICD kaRingo uve daaiding sikuringer yona.

Ukuphela kwentlonipho

Uyazi ngelixa sasi sesesgela kukhona i-ncwadi yesiXhosa esasikhe sayifunda i-chaza ngendlela yokuphela kwentlonipho.Kodwa ngelo xesha yayingekapheli kuba sa-sisakwazi ukuthi tata okanye bhuti if notmama or sisi emntwini omdala kunathi. Andmkhulu umohluko phakathi komntu ongu-tata nongubhuti. Mara ngoku ingathiuvangwa konke. Kaloku sikhwelisa ezinyeiintwana zincinci even nakuMbali kaGeshumyeke uPerm. Okay akukho nto, sihambenazo ezi ntwana sizishiya eMthatha Plaza xazisehla zithi enkosi bro, zitsho kuGesh mind.Habe kanti sekwabanjani emhlabeni, umnt-wana olingana noKamva wam sengathi brokum? Nako ke ukuphela kwentlonipho kubaikwababa badala wofika becela iskeyfuebantwaneni kuphele sebebizwa ‘ta bani’nangona enomntwana ongaphezulu le kuloambiza ‘ta’, aqhele umtwana abize naba a-ngaseli okanye angatshayi nabo. Lo nto yo-kwehlula ubhuti notata awuyifundiswauyambona umntu omdala nakubhuti wakhouthi tata ungathi bro what is that. Liyatsha-balala ilizwe sijongile niyakuze nithi wawu-tshilo umgosi ndiyanixelela.

Lixesha lokuhlala nabazukulu ekhayangoku makhuyu

Uyazi kukhona abantu abangazimisela-nga ngakuguga ungazi ukuba bayaphinobumnandi. Even nam Gesh xa sekuphumaooNuts, nooTins ndiyayiyeka le nto yoku-hamba ubumnandi kwaye negossip ndiyayi-yeka kungena abanye abasebatsha. Besila-pha eLusiki kwenye ingoji ekuthiwa yiMa-baleng. Heyi kukhona ugogo ebezipitsengebrukhwe ejiyva ngathi umenyiwe kuletavern but iminyaka besebonakala ukubaayisatsho ukuba bekufanele usephakathikwethu.

Kwabafana banamh-lanje bangenazimilo sebemthe nca, kuba ka-loku naye ufuna ukuthiwa nca de awinwephofu ke yinto ebevele esukele yona endliniezixelela ukuba akabuyeli kwakhe.

AFRO-SOUL artist Sisana Nomguquko Mla-za is one of only eight artists to be signed upby the Eastern Cape’s first home-grownrecord label.

The 28-year-old artist, from the seaside vil-lage of Port St Johns, said she is excited tohave been signed byEasternCapeAudioVis-ual Centre (ECAVC) Records.“I’ve always wanted to be able to produce

my own album. It’s all happening now; justthe way I had imagined it. I feel blessed tobe working for the label, the first of its kindin this province,” said Mlaza.Mlaza’s manager, ECAVC’s Phumzile

Gabada, saidhediscoveredMlaza inJanuarywhile she was performing at the Bridge toHeaven church in Mthatha.“I was impressed by her voice and by the

fact that she could also play the guitar. I ap-proached her and introduced her to ECAVC,who not only signed her up but employed meas well to manage her,” said Gabada.ECAVC is based at the Miriam Makeba

Centre of Performing Arts in East London,which is operated by the University of FortHare.ECVAC director, Sy Ntuli, said that he was

really excited to see local artists like Mlazabeing signed to the label.“I have seen a lot of our local artists leave

the province, because the only major recordcompanies are in Johannesburg,” said Ntuli.Mlaza’s producer, Luyanda Madophe, said

it was a pleasure to be able to finally workwith local musicians.“I’m excited about her album, which will

be out at the end of March. It will be sold inmusic outlets around the country,” said Ma-dophe. - WNA

ATHarcourts, they have a vision of creatinga strong, economically viable nation, thriv-ing in a country that uses natural resourceswisely. One of the best ways to achieve thisis through quality education.

To this end Harcourts has organised theHarcourts Wildcoast 98.6 MTB Challenge.This Cycling SA sanctioned, charity moun-tain bike race aims to raise R100 000 a yearfor the next 5 years for African Angels Inde-pendent Schools’ Teacher Learnership Pro-gramme.

African Angels Independent School, locat-ed in the rural area adjacent to Chintsa East,is expanding and there is a demand forteachers. Tomeet this need, the school plans

to offer Teacher Learnerships where select-ed candidates study their PostGraduateCer-tificate inEducation (PGCE)via correspond-encewith UNISA, and in parallel workwith-in the school under the mentorship of aqualified teacher.

This combination is aimed at taking can-didates from disadvantaged backgroundsanddeveloping themintohighquality teach-ers who would not otherwise have had theopportunity to gain a qualification withsuch significant practical experience andsupport.

Mimicking the success of the 94.7 cyclechallenge in the Highveld, Harcourts part-nered with a local radio station, Wild Coast98.6FM, and created a mountain bike racethrough the Wild Coast Jikeleza area just tothe East of East London.

The route-planning committee has put to-gether 3 routes all aimed at providing a chal-lenge while introducing riders to the amaz-ing scenery of the area. There’s a 98.6kmrace for the more extreme riders, 50km and19km races and a Kiddies’ Dash.

All races are scheduled for Sunday April6 and will centre on the Crossways VillageCentre on the Schafli Road (R102), wherethey will host a Farmers’ Market, beer tentand entertainment to keep the supportersbusy).

Prize money of R30 000 and oodles of spotprizes, including a mountain bike are up forgrabs. In addition, the first 500 online entriesat www.roag.co.za will get a rider goody bag.

But why would a real estate company ar-range amountainbike race? In addition to theobvious benefits of supporting a worthwhilecharity, Principal of Harcourts Advantage,Penny Niemand, said, “We want to promotethe lifestyle opportunities available to inves-tors and potential property owners in our ar-ea of the Adventure Province. All around theWorld cities are expanding as people chooselifestyle over suburbia. The Wild CoastJikeleza Route is ideally placed to be the ex-pansion path for East London.
