THE Ndlambe Municipality held acouncil meeting on Friday, May 30,where the IDP and Budget 2014/15were adopted.

The budget for 2014/2015, which is in effectfromJuly 1, has an increase in rates and sewer-age set at 12% and sanitation increased by100%. The refuse, water, annual and monthly

charges increase by 5.5% excluding electricitywhich will increase by 14.75% for the periodfrom July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. The capitalbudget from internal funding has been limitedto R5million.Ndlambe Mayor, Sipho Tandani, said that

they have considered all submissions and willstrive for the 12%rates increase to cater for thecommunity.“We have considered the hardships of people

and the fact that themajority of ratepayers are

pensioners. We realize that people are experi-encing hard times but we have to continue torun the municipality and provide services,”Tandani said.During themeeting itwasnotedbytheDemo-

cratic Alliance that there are councillors whoowebetweenR60 andR80 000 in rates to themu-nicipality. This was defended by ANC ChiefWhip, Charles Metelerkamp, who said thatcouncillors who have debt, inherited the debtbefore becoming councillors and that the debt

was due to their families rather than the indi-vidual councillors. Provision had beenmade topay the debt from the councillors’ salaries.The Democratic Alliance Caucus Leader,

RaymondSchenk, voicedhis disapproval of thebudget. “To say that we are disappointed is anunderstatement. A 12% increase is loadedwithbacteria and debt collection needs to be jackedup,” he said, adding that theMunicipalManag-er needs to utilize resources and maximize in-come. “We will not support 12%,” said Schenk.

WHEN Bathurst resident, Dennis Rawson,visited the Port Alfred Clinic recently henoted that the benches had broken slats andhe took the initiative to have them re-paired.

This led to Rawson speaking with SisterSylvia Strydomwho gave permission to buya few slats as they were not budgeted for bythe clinic.“As a member of the public I felt that at

least the patients should have the comfortof complete seats,” said Rawson, who pricedthe timber at Buco and decided that hecould afford to repair one or two a month.However, when Rawson asked for a dis-

count at Buco to ensure that more could bedone at a time, the manager of Buco, Vanes-sa Gerber, kindly provided the timber freeof charge.

“I had only to buy verandah bolts and var-nish. I asked if there was a place where Icould have them delivered and also if therewas a placewhere I could do the sanding andvarnishing. It transpired that a workshopand two maintenance workers, Tyali andMgadi, were on site. I chatted to Tyali whosaid that they were happy to do the work,and would start to do so on Thursday, May27. I had to go to town on Friday and droppedin at the clinic, and was pleased to see a cou-ple of slats were varnished and in place, anda loose slat was secure. Sister Strydom not-ed with glee to my wife and me that ‘Fairieshad been’,” said Rawson.Buco has also provided some paint to the

clinic for their offices. There is, however,nobody to do the painting and an appeal ismade for anyone willing to assist the clinicin any way to come forward. Anyone whowishes to assist in any capacity can contactthe Sunshine Coast Express on 046 624 1207

CONCERNED parents of Port AlfredPrimary School in Station Hill helda meeting at Jauka Hall in Nematoon Monday to discuss concerns re-garding the School Governing Body(SGB).

The meeting was chaired by Tho-zama Ngotsha who said that whilethe SGB had been invited to attendthe meeting and answer questions,none of them attended the meeting.“Wehave called thismeeting to voiceour concerns as parents and for thefuture of our children in an open dis-cussion,” said Ngotsha.Concerns which were on the agen-

da for the SGB to answer includedquestions such as why the Principal,Arthur Isaacs, andDeputyPrincipal,Mr. Forbes resigned, why there arepeople on the SGB who do not havechildren at the school and why otherteachers are threatening to resign.“A few parents spoke with teach-

ers who raised concerns, such as theresignation of Mr. Isaacs and Mr.

Forbes, which shocked many. Mov-ing forward theparents need toknowwhat is going on and so do the teach-ers. If a teacher is unhappy they donot give their all and the educationof our children is important”, saidone of the parents, Theo Willemse.Other concerns included SGB

members allegedly swearing atteachers and also being paid fromschool funds when acting as volun-teers.The latter concern was voiced by

the parents who said that the chair-man of the SGBhad renovated toiletsand taps at the school in December,2013, despite the code of conduct stat-ing that no member of the SGB orfamilymember thereof canbenefit fi-nancially from the school.The taps and toilets are also not

working correctly and parents areconcerned that it could be a healthhazard for their children.“This SGB is dysfunctional. It is

not functioning in its capacity and itis failing the school, parents and es-pecially the children.We are going tomake sure that things come right,”

said Ngotsha.Items on the agenda which were

not answered due to the absence ofthe SGB members also includedquestions regarding the shortage ofteachers at the school. It was report-ed by parents that teachers at theschool are often teaching up to fiveclasses due to the shortage of staff.Another issue which was ad-

dressed regarding the resignation ofPrincipal Arthur Isaacs was the alle-gation of theft from school fundswhich the Department of Basic Edu-cation and an audit allegedly foundno evidence of. The parents in attend-ance spoke highly of both Isaacs andForbes with Ngotsha saying that“Isaacs loved the school. He was pas-sionate andhad a vision, andhewentout of his way to make it a betterschool”.A petition was drawn up by the

parents which will be taken to theDepartment of Education with theaim of having the current SGB stepdown and let parents, who have thepupils’ best interest at heart, takeover.

AC de Sousa Attorneys (ACDSAttorneys), which is an estab-lished law firm with their headoffice in Durban, has opened abranch office in Grahamstown.

Diane Jepp is the attorneywho runs the Grahamstown of-fice.

ADCS attorneys are special-ists in Road Accident Fundclaims and Medical negligencematters.

Seeing a need for this type ofspecialist legal service in theEastern Cape, they opened theirbranch office in Pepper GroveMall in Grahamstown in March2014.

Its attorneys havemany yearsof combined experience in theseareas.

“Many people suffer personalinjury as a result of the negli-gence of others, eg a motor vehi-cle accident, medical treatmentgone wrong, etc. Our experienceover the years has taughtus thatmany people are unaware oftheir legal rights to claim com-pensation for their injuries. Peo-ple are also often unaware thatthe negligent party often has in-surance to pay for such injuries.People also often underestimatethe impact these personal inju-ries will have on them later onin life, when it is too late to claimcompensation,” said Jepp.

“The other issue that some-times prevents people fromclaiming is theperceived costs oflitigation. Most personal injuryspecialists will take on suchclaim on a contingency basiswhich means that they cannotcharge unless they are success-ful. Most of these attorneys willalso pay for the costs of obtain-ing expert reports,which iswhatwe do.

Our firm has always providedfree initial consultations to as-

sess whether the matter isworth pursuing or not. There istherefore no cost in coming tosee our attorneys to discuss yourmatter to assess whether it isworth pursuing,” said Jepp.

The attorneys at ACDS Attor-neys offices are very well quali-fied and experienced lawyers,two of them having also quali-fied as English solicitors andwho has practised for manyyears in both London and Man-chester.

Diane spent 15 years workingat some of London’s top City lawfirms in commercial litigationand later specialising in reinsur-ance,. She worked on cases andwith clients from various coun-tries, including Morocco, Fin-land, Cyprus, Bermuda and theUnited States, to name a few.

“Our opposing counsel in oneof the matters I remember wellwas Cherie Blair, wife of Eng-land’s former prime minister,Tony Blair. It was a very busyand exciting time, not many dullmoments, but I am enjoying be-ing back in South Africa and theEastern Cape,” said Jepp.

Both Antonio de Sousa, thefirms principal attorney, and Di-ane Jepp are old Rhodians andknow the Eastern Cape well.

Lifeas I see it Theresa LutgeSmith

DESPITE horror stories of high crime ratesin the country many people are still unin-formedabouthow they could reduce the riskof becoming a victim.Years ago I witnessed an elderly lady – in

broad daylight - being taunted by an assail-ant, threatening her with a knife. She juststood still, holding on to her packages withboth hands. She was clearly frightened.What happenednext impressedme.Ayoungman intervened and within seconds disa-bled the attacker. It turned out he was ablack belt karate instructor. I signed up forlessons at his school the next day.It is important to take responsibility for

your personal safety. Common sense is re-quired without being incessantly apprehen-sive. There are many simple precautions

everyone should take.Avoid walking, jogging or cycling alone,

especially after dark. Avoid short cuts anddesertedareas.Don’t be flashwithyour cashor mobile phone.Maintain your car in good condition and

have plenty of fuel for your journey; keepwindows closed and doors locked.Don’t givelifts to strangers. Don’t drink and drive.Don’t use a mobile phone when driving.On a night out, plan ahead how you are

going to get home. Stay with your party. Donot walk home alone. Be aware of your sur-roundings before using your mobile phone;switch to vibrate mode so it does not attractattention if it rings.At work keep personal belongings locked

in a cupboard or drawer. When using anATM shield your PIN from people near you.Never tell anybody your PIN (not even thebank or the police). Never accept help fromstrangers at the ATM.

Recognizing the warning signs of a poten-tial mugging, robbery or assault will helpyou stay clear of them. However, bad thingssometimes occur regardless of how pre-pared you are, and you need to think aboutwhat to do if you suddenly find yourselfwitha gun in your face or an attacker grabbingyou by the neck.Not everyone is skilled in self-defence tac-

tics. The most important thing is to avoidinjury.Rather surrender anybelongings, es-pecially when there is a weapon involved.No wallet, phone or jewelry is worth yourlife.Even if the mugger doesn’t have a visible

weapon, this isn’t the time to be a hero; onewrong move could lead to serious injury ordeath. If youaregrabbedor struckunexpect-edly, or an assailant is attempting a sexualassault, trying to escape is your best option.If not, it is instinctive to fight back. One

tactic is to isolate any finger and snap it

backwards as hard as you can; the pinky ismost vulnerable.Other vulnerable areas on an attacker’s

body include the eyes, nose, throat, solarplexus and groin. The pain of a suddenlysnapped finger or strike to the body is oftenenough to temporarily disable an attacker.Your sole goal is to escape. Signing up fora self-defence class is a good idea.

Staying safe

THE average family consists of daddy, mom-my, and 2.1 children. The “.1”must, of course,represent Buddy, the family dog.Buddy may have appeared, complete with ared ribbon, as a furry little bundle of Christ-mas cheer, nestled underneath a brightly dec-orated tree. But by the time the ornamentsand branches have been ingested by Buddy,daddy begins to have second thoughts aboutSanta’s sense of humour.

Humble beginningsDuring his first two weeks in the new house-hold, Buddy usually accomplishes one thing:changing the family’s routine! The accidentson the carpet, teething on the sofa cushions,and of course – Buddy’s insomnia at 2.00am,are all contributing factors to his ultimatebanishment to the back yard.To stave off the sheer loneliness of his exile,Buddywill invent toys and games out ofwhat-ever is available. One such game that is aspopular with dogs as hide-and-seek with chil-dren, is called “transplant the shrubbery.”

In this game, Buddy merely selects the plantwhich he considers to be most out of place.Then, with meticulous care, the plant is ex-humed.Before the plant is relocated to a different partof the yard, there is a certain ritual that Bud-dy must put the plant through. What the ritu-al actually accomplishes, only Buddy knows,but it consists (among other things) of throw-ing the plant into the air, gaining more alti-tude each time.When the ritual is concluded, it’s time for thetransplant job. Studies show, however, thatBuddy is usually so winded and worn outfrom the tossing job, that the plant lies dor-mant on the surface of the yard, and the trans-planting is actually done by daddy, not Bud-dy!The game starts over the next day, and thenext, until all the plants have been exhumed,and the dog declares himself thewinner. Star-ing about the yard, Buddy will see nothingelse of interest at this point. However... in thenext yard... as Buddy jumps the fence into

your neighbour’s plants...After the quarrel with daddy and the neigh-bours subsides, Buddy’s realm is usually re-duced to the circumferenceprovidedbya longrope tied to a tree. This is a temporary meas-ure, of course, and Buddy will do all in hispower to ensure this. This means barking ateverything and everyone.While daddy mumbles something at Buddy,and returns to the house, the dog returns tohis vocal attempts to chase the moon away.Out comes daddy. A few more words areaimed at Buddy, and voila! Buddy has discov-ered a new game. By barking, he cannot onlychase things away, but can summon someoneto momentarily keep him company!Such are the antics of the family dog, whosefuture usually lies in a classified advertise-ment declaring... “Free To A Good Home.”

Don’t Make That ChoiceFor an investment of a few rand, coupledwitha little imagination, there need be no one-wayride to the pound for Buddy, or no pawning

off the lemon to some other unsuspecting fam-ily.A few buckswill buy you awater gun, a quickand easy dog training magazine to train youto deal with your dog’s antics, and an openmind to an understanding of a dog’s point ofview.In just a few days, you can turn frustrationand the prospect of sending Buddy to thepound into a well-trained, respectable familypet.You should also exchange some ideas withyour local vet and the SPCA staff which youcan reach on 046 624-1919 or email portalfred-spca@gmail.com.A great big thank you to all who supportedour “Boet and Swaer” show which generatedmuch needed funds. A special thank you toPort Alfred High School for the hall, Port Al-fred Lions for ongoing promotion, John Dellat Dell’s Printers for the tickets and our Com-mittee members Gail for the idea and organi-zation, as well as Sandy for door-to-door pro-motion of the event.

DESPITE a chilly start to the proceedings as thesunwas barely creeping over the horizon, Satur-day soon evolved into a warm and windlessmorning.Despite the club championships taking place

later in the day, a superb turnout of 30 players(16 ladies, 14 gents) presented themselves for thedraw in the popular format of amixed 2-to-countStableford Alliance.David Groenewald teamed up with Shirley

Heny, Sonia Reynolds and Glynnis Renecle tocard an excellent 88 points to win the competi-tion.Withthecourseplayinglong,goodindividu-al scoreswerenoticeable by their absence. LizzieLambrechtsdidnot seemto see it thatwayas shenetted a magnificent 64 to lead her covey of

Heather van Harmelen, Maureen and DonaldMcGarvie into the runners-up slot with 86points.Alas, poorer scoresweremore evident on the

day, and there were none poorer than the 71points carded by Carol Lee, Sandy Fryer, An-gus MacDonald and Geoff Handley. Energydrinks were awarded to the quartet in way ofcompensation for their inadequacies, courtesyof Fresh Stop.Lizzie sank the only 2-club of the morning

(6th) and Danny Tarpani won a bottle of winefor being “closest-for-two” on the 13th. Theprize-winningbest individual net score outsidethe two winning covies was a 70 shot by JohnCrandon.
