IT’S been over 5 months now since theMunicipal traffic prosecution system(Cyprus system) has been suspendedand Municipal workers at the trafficfines department in Sidwell say they

have been frustrated with no word from theMunicipality about when the system willbe operational.

PE Express reporter, Lizeka Tandwa, vis-ited the traffic department last week Friday

and spoke to the staff who said, on conditionof anonymity, that they had no way of know-ing when the Cyprus system would be work-ing.

The two counter workers PE Express spoketo, said fines which had been awarded to driv-ers over the past few months could not be de-tected in the system unless the traffic offenderproduced a letter from the Municipality.

“There have been a number of people whohave come with outdated fines from Febru-ary but we have no way of tracking themin the system. People who do not have their

letters from the Municipality or have lostthem, must wait until the system is back inorder for us to track down their fines,” saidone of the workers.

DA Chief Whip, Gustav Rautenbach, saidin addition to the Cyprus system not work-ing, the Municipal courts had been closedfor over 3 months because there was nocourt roll of cases owing to the problemswith the Cyprus system.

The Municipality in an earlier statementto the PE Express on April 30, said theywould be resuming the Cyprus system after

acquiring a new service provider called Ma-vambo through a comprehensive SupplyChain Management process.

However, Rautenbach said that whilethey had since awarded the tender to thenew supplier, almost the entire staff at thetraffic department was still left with littleto do as the computers, which captured dataresulting in fines and issuing of summonsesfor outstanding traffic debts, were still notfully operational.

Rautenbach said he had been informed ata standing committee meeting on May 20,that the suspended Cyprus system had re-sumed, and that only 4 computers of the 40used to capture data and issue fines to driv-ers were operational.After investigating these claims by the

Municipality, Rautenbach, said he couldnow confirm that the Cyprus system wasstill not operational.“At the standing committee meeting they

(the municipality) told us that they had re-sumed the use of the Cyprus system and thesystemwhile not fully operational, was nowworking. But through my investigation, Ihave now learnt that this is not accurate.”Rautenbach said after consulting some of

his sources within the security cluster helearnt that none of the systems computerswere operational.“Most of our computers are old and out-

dated. We are told that owing to budget con-straints we cannot purchase the necessarysystem, but the problem is we are still los-ing millions in fines with the way we arecurrently operating,” said Rautenbach.Municipal SpokespersonMthubanziMni-

ki denied these allegations saying they hadsince overcome all the problems and werecurrently making the system fully opera-tional. “By the end of this month we hopeto be fully operational.According to a previous PE Express re-

port, the suspension of the Cyprus system

was a result of the municipality’s failure topay their then service provider TrafficManagement Technologies R36 000 for over6 months owing to their contract expiring.The Cyprus system is responsible for cap-

turing every camera offence, parking of-fence, or fine issued by a traffic officer onits system.In the case of a camera offence, a notifica-

tion has to be sent to the registered ownerof the vehicle within 30 days of committingan offence. This also applies to parking tick-ets where offenders are notified at the timeof the offence.“Should an offender not pay the fine, the

Cyprus system issues a summons againstthe offender,” Rautenbach explained earli-er.This meant that fines older than 30 days

would be withdrawn - creating a major lossof income for the municipality.Mniki said, “In the past we have had chal-

lenges with the supply chain managementprocesses that have led to a delay in the fulloperation of the system. These issues hadto do with the lapsing of the contract we hadwith the company supplying us with thesystem and procurement of computers thatare fully compliant with the system,” saidMniki.Mniki did, however, not answer ques-

tions put to him by PE Express on howmuch money had been lost during the sus-pension or whether they were in the proc-ess of purchasing a new and improved sys-tem.

MEMBERS of the South African Police Serv-ice (SAPS) in Kamvelihle have warned mem-bers of the public not to eat muffins boughton the street as these could contain drugssuch as cocaine.

This warning came during a drug abuseawareness campaign organised by the Meth-odist Church of Southern Africa preachersfor the Grahamstown District together withthe Motherwell Circuit 232 who took to thestreets to register their abomination of DrugAbuse and Illicit Trafficking.The event was aimed at celebrating Inter-

national Day against Drug Abuse and IllicitTrafficking on June 26.

According to the event spokesperson Ayan-da Qoboshiyane, about 504 school pupils fromNqileni, Siyaphambili and NkwenkweziniPrimary Schools attended the march. Oldermembers of the community also participated.The Motherwell Ciruit programme kicked

off with a procession from NU 2 Square inMotherwell. They were followed by a demon-stration by the South African Police Service(SAPS) to John Wesley Church, VinjiweStreet, NU2 where the event was held.The SAPS including the departments of Ed-

ucation, Justice and Correctional Servicesjoined hands with the church and presentedthose present with valuable information onthe dangers of drug abuse.According to Motherwell Circuit Superin-

tended Rev Mongameli Noqayi, the partici-

pants were given a talk on the negative out-comes of drug abuse,He said they also informed themof the signs

familymembers of possible drugusers shouldlook out for.“The children were warned to open a muf-

fin bought on the streets before eating it be-cause there could be drugs stuffed inside,”said Motherwell Circuit Superintended RevMongameli Noqayi.He explained, “According to police, drug

pushers can stuff cocaine, a whitish sub-stance, inside the muffin in order to attracttheir targets as drugs are addictive.”“The Grahamstown District stands togeth-

er against all sorts of abuse, more especiallydrug abuse because of the negative physicaland emotional outcomes, and irresponsible

behaviour it results in,” said GrahamstownDistrict Bishop, Losaba.“We targeted school going children because

they are always the targets of drug lords,” saidNoqayi, adding that drug abuse in schoolswasthe reason why there was rampant crime, an-archy and disorder in many schools.Reverend Noqayi said it was the responsi-

bility of the church to help fight societal ills,like crime, drug trafficking and abuse, thatmake life a misery .“As the church we are saying that educa-

tion and everything associated with school-ing is a concern of the church. The event wasthe church’s way of showing support to par-ents and children who are suffering and havelost their loved ones as a result of drug abuseand trafficking,” said Rev Noqayi.

PORT Elizabeth police spokesperson War-rant Officer Thembi Gwe is appealing tocaring members of society to assist in herAdopt-A-School Project which is aimed athelping poor pupils achieve in education.

“Children coming frompoor families lackthe resources andmeans to dowell in educa-tion. Some lack even basic things such asunderwear, a uniform and school shoes andthey struggle to continue attending school,”said W/O Gwe.Gwe adopted Soweto-On-Sea Primary

School as a result of the desperate needshe saw when she visited the school lastyear.According to her, pupils from this school

come from very poor backgrounds andchild-headed families.

Some are Orphaned and Vulnerable Chil-dren (OVC) who, despite their child supportgrant, are still faced with mammoth chal-lenges.“I saw the need and promised to come

back,” said Gwe who has been talking tofriends and colleagues to support her cause.“There are 201 boys and 191 girls in need.

But if I can get at least 50 panties and anequal number of pairs of shoes I will be veryhappy,” said Gwe, urging people to buy theitems for donation and submit them to heroffice at Kwazakhele Police Station.She plans to do the hand-over at the

school’s re-opening in two weeks’ time.“I am calling friends, professionals and

people from big business for support. Let ushelp these children to get back their humandignity. I fear that, without panties, theycouldbe susceptible to rape andother sexualoffences,” said W/O Gwe.

THEDeputyMinister of TraditionalAffairs,Obed Bapela, condemned the recent cases ofinitiation deaths.

The 2014 winter initiation season’s deathtoll has risen to 11, seven deaths in the East-ernCape, one death inKhayelitsha,WesternCape, and three in Mpumalanga.

“Oncemorewecall on the traditional lead-ership, parents and communities to be onthe alert and report illegal schools as thema-jority of the initiates die at these illegalschools,” said Bapela.

The department issued a statement urgingtraditional surgeons to work with profes-

sional services offered by the department ofhealth to avoid deaths, some of which aredue to dehydration and septic shock whichcan be handled if care is applied.

The 2010 season on initiations was theworst with 419 initiates dying. In 2013, thenumber went down to over 100 and this isdue to measures agreed upon with leader-ship through the House of Traditional Lead-ers.

According to the statement, the family,parents and legal guardians have to play acentral role to ensure that young men arepsychologically and physically fit to under-go initiation. It is important also to ensurethat the initiates obtain medical check-upsand also receive proper after-care twoweeks

after the initiation as this is a critical timefor recovery.

“The department reiterates that owners ofillegal initiation schools should be arrestedand prosecuted. Furthermore, focus will begiven to the initiation schools in the EasternCape, Mpumalanga, Western Cape and Lim-popo where there is a high enrolment of ini-tiates,” the statement read.

“Going forward, all the stakeholders areexpected to play an active role in managingthis customary practice. It is therefore im-portant that collective efforts aremade to ridinitiationsof bogus schools andcommercial-ization of the practice in the country.”

The Deputy Minister launched the initia-tion season in Umtata with the provincial

house of traditional leaders and MEC forTraditional Affairs. The Eastern Cape de-partment of Social Development has provid-ed vehicles for all the legal schools in theprovince to ensure that they have resources.

“Suitably qualified, appropriately trainedand registered traditional surgeons must beallowed to perform circumcision onmale in-itiates at approved and designated facilitiesby the appropriate authorities,” saidBapela.

To report illegal schools, citizens are en-couraged to call the Dep. of Health’s, CollenBonnecwe on 0 012 395 8021 or Departmentof Traditional Affairs’, Modiegi Madiga on0 082 822 5878 and National House of Tradi-tional Leaders, Kgoshi Mahlangu, on 0 071461 0475 or Nkululeko Nxesi 0 072 530 8090

I would alsolike to see that with Chippa United beingbased in PE, they have a developmentstructure to have local players joining andmaking it into the PSL.”

Mario Lewis (22)- “Chippa moving toPE will most definitely be good forour city. We need this kind ofupliftment for our youth and in afinancial way for the city”.

Lesleigh Rademeyer (18) - “I don’tthink it will have any significant effecton the team or the Bay. PE’s friendlyattitude might give the team aconfidence boost but otherwise itwon’t really play a role. I see themove as unnecessary and it willcause a loss of support from CapeTown supporters”.

THEmove by PSL League contenders Chip-pa United to Nelson Mandela Bay hasbrought a lot of excitement among localstakeholders regarding it as a major boostto the metro’s economy.

Nelson Mandela Bay Business ChamberCEO, Kevin Hustler, said a permanent soc-cer team in the city had the potential tomake a positive impact on the tourism in-dustry, on the Metro’s economy and onhome town pride.

Chippa United football club was based inthe Nyanga suburb in Cape Town. The clubfinished their debut season in the NationalFirst Division in second place behind theUniversity of Pretoria. They won promo-tion to the Premier Soccer League via theplay-offs in June 2012.

In a press conference last week DeputyMayor, Thando Ngcolomba, said, “Themet-ro has always focused on maximising thebenefits of the stadium asset since beforethe stadium’s construction was completed.It was our vision that the stadium is finan-cially stable and generates a large econom-

ic impact in the region.”Ngcolomba said the municipality would

not be involved in the day to day runningof the organisation but would assist theteam with logistics. Ngcolomba, however,said he could not say how much the Metrohad invested in the move, saying theywould reveal the financial implications af-ter both parties had signed.

Access Management spokesperson, SindiXimba, said, “Port Elizabeth fans havebeen waiting in anticipation for top flightsoccer. Looking at our attendance figuresfrom past soccer matches, these were wellattended by PSL standards.

“A strategic plan will be devised in duecourse to ensure that we boost the imageof the stadium as a venue which is the homeof both a PSL soccer team and a Currie CupRugby team and Super Rugby.”

Access Management is a Facilities andLeisure Management Company operatingthe NelsonMandela Bay Stadium on behalfof the Metro. This includes stadium com-mercialization and facility management inorder to maximize benefits for the Metroand minimize cost.

“The stadium has fought tooth and nail

to try to get a variety of activities happen-ing, both bowl and non-bowl. We, as the sta-dium operator, continuously have to rein-vent our business model, strategy, targetsandmedium term goals if we are to achieveour eventual success: a sustainable and vi-able, in the long term, NMB multi-purposestadium,” added Ximba.

Ximba said Access had turned around astadium expected to become a “white ele-phant” into one of the fewWorld Cup stadi-ums in South Africa to host Super Rugby,as well as regular soccer and other eventssuch as weddings, exhibitions and confer-ences, to name just a few.

Hustler said the sporting industry in theregion deserved the support of the peopleof this city for the exposure it provided andthe potential revenue it generated.

“Tourists, and the money they spend,have the potential to bolster sales in andaround the city. Thismove can generate in-terest in our city, and their success sets usup to become a sports tourism destinationof choice,” said Hustler.

He urged the business environment andcitizens of the Bay to support the sports in-dustry so that the city could keep premier

sporting teams in the region. “It is also im-portant that we all realize the positive im-pact that this will have on our region asevents tourism is a sector that holds anenormous amount of potential to grow theBay economy,” he added.

THE Coega Development Corporation’s intern-ship programme, a key component of its ongo-ing skills development initiative, has grownsig-nificantly since inception.The internshipprogrammehasbenefitted the

youth of theEasternCape inparticular throughthe organisation’s growing national footprint.The internship programme has been imple-mented throughout the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu-Natal, areaswhereCoega is implementingvarious programmes including InfrastructureDevelopment Programmes.“The main objective of the internship pro-

gramme is to improve chances of employmentfor young graduates by giving them on-the-jobtraining, development, and experience over aperiodof 18months.The internshipprogrammeis closelymanaged by the Coega’s HumanCapi-

talSolutions (HCS),”saidZolaNgoma,CDCunithead- performance and talent management.The Coega internship programme contrib-

utes positively towards skills development andemployment creation for unemployed but tal-ented graduates, thereby improving theirchances of attaining employment in the highlycompetitive labour market.Interns are sourced from institutions ofHigh-

er Learning where the CDC operates.In the 2012/13 financial year, the CDC in Nel-

son Mandela Bay enrolled 124 interns, exceed-ing its targets of a 100 interns. It has done soagain in the financial year, 2013/14, with 167 in-terns enrolled as at 31Marchwithin the organi-zation.During the 2013/2014 financial year, 41 in-

terns were placed in permanent positions with-

in the CDC and elsewhere in other organiza-tions in the country.Eight other interns were given an opportuni-

ty to further their studies in Business AnalysisandSystemsAnalysis (BASA)courseat theUni-versity of Cape Town (UCT). Of these, sevenhave already secured permanent jobs.“There’s growing interest from the interns in

the Coega internship programme,” said Dr Ay-anda Vilakazi, CDC Head of Marketing andCommunications.“The CDC’s interns’ skills are honed under

theguidanceofmentorsandsubject-matter fieldexperts. They are exposed to a range of traininganddevelopment initiativeswithin theCDC,en-abling them to secure employment 18 monthslater upon completion of the internship pro-gramme,” added Dr Vilakazi.The CDC is the implementing agent (IA) on

various infrastructure programmes, helpinggovernment to implement infrastructure solu-tions and programmes, thus providing the nec-essary capacity and expertise. As such, it is re-quired that those contractors implementing theinfrastructure programmes consider the enrol-ment of the youth as interns, but also the enrol-ment of SMMEs in order to learn. Furthermore,the CDC encourages all service providers to im-plement internship programmes in any workdone for the CDC.To further enhance employability of the in-

terns, theCDCprovides internswithopportuni-ties to obtainadriver’s licence through theCDCflagship programme, Driver Training Pro-gramme. The programme, which forms part ofCDC’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI), isaimed at up-skilling the youth through the at-tainment of a driver’s licence. – REPORTER
