‘Poo’ hits municipal ‘fan’>> Traumatised employees and security personnel ran for cover seconds after the first bucket of faeces was thrown

NTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

STAFF at the Greater KokstadMunicipality hid under tables,others ran for their life, ducking

from the onslaught of human faecesthat was thrown in reception byHorseshoe residents in protest onMonday.

In the disgusting scene, maleresidents ran into the offices andthrewfaeces, contained inblackbagsinwhitebuckets,ontothefloorandallover.

One resident said, just before thefaeces was thrown: “We are tired ofshit, they must smell what we [have

to] smell every day.”The men then ran into the Harry

Gwala District Municipality officesand threw the faeces inside.

This incident comes after Horse-shoe residents complained about nothaving flushing toilets.

Harry Gwala District is responsi-ble for providing water and sanita-tion.

The residents, mostly young menand women and some members ofConcerned Residents group, hadbeen,from9am,singingandshoutinginside the municipality offices de-mandingtobeallowedintotheboard-room.

Eight members of the Concerned

Residents group were in a meetingwith Municipal Manager ZamoMkhize waiting to get answers to amemorandum of demands they hadgiventheMMregardingservicedeliv-ery issues in Horseshoe two weeksago.

During a march then, residentswarned that theywould embark on a“poo protest” worse than that whichtook place in Cape Town awhile ago,and true to their word, residents em-barked on this protest.

Traumatisedemployeesandsecu-rity personnel ran for cover secondsafter the first bucket of poo wasthrown.

Kokstad SAPS Station Command-

er Ntombivelile Xhelithole, Vispolcommander and police officersrushed to the scene after being calledby municipality officials.

Municipality employee MrsNtsalaze said shewasworking in heroffice when she heard the staffscreaming.

“I heard people screaming andthen I smelt a foul smell and when Iwent into reception I saw peoplethrowing faeces all over,” she said.

CleanerNontombiQephu said shehad just finished cleaning whenmenstormedintotheofficesandthrew thefaeces.

“I am heart broken because I hadjust finished cleaning.

“I am the onewho is going to haveto clean this up,” Qephu said, crying.

GKM Spokesperson SabeloNcwane confirmed the incident, say-ing that the municipality condemnsthe act in the strongest terms.

“What the Concerned Residentsgroup did was very wrong.

“It disturbed the workings of themunicipality and the business of themunicipality was closed soon afterthe incident as it was marked as acrime scene by the police,” he said.

Eight people were arrested bythe SAPS in Monday’s faeces-throw-ing incident.

At the time of going to press theyhad not been charged.

Wellness clinic formotorists held

NTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

MOTORISTSwererelievedwhentheyre-alised they were being stopped forgoodies and their well being at a road

blockonMonday, andnot for checkingpurpos-es.

This took place when the KZN LiquorAuthority (KZNLA), in partnership with theRTI, health, transport and tourism set up amotorist wellness clinic at the triangle nearWimpy.

Stakeholderserected tents so thatmotoristscould be refreshed with liquids and gave theminformationwiththeaimofreducingroadacci-dents.

Executivemanager for social responsibilityat KZNLA Simon Manelli said as the social re-sponsibilitywingwithinKZNLAtheymakesurethere is a balance between responsible con-sumption and responsible selling.

“As part of our festive campaign, we stop

motorists and test them for diabetes and bloodpressure,we also offer voluntaryHIV tests be-cause we are mindful of the fact that its notalcohol alone that kills people on the roads,some of the time people are killed by fatigue,”he said.

“Illnesses like diabetes and blood pressuremake drivers so it is important that people testfor such illnesses.

“Another thing of critical importance is thatpeopledon’t eathealthyordrinkenoughwateron the road, that is why we give motorist a re-fresherpackof juice, energybar, appleandwetwipes,” he added.

The info packs have slogans by KZN LiqourAuthoritywhichsay:“Thatlastonefortheroad,could be your last one on Earth.” “Responsibletraders know when to say ‘no’ and trade re-sponsibility” and “Childrenwith a future don’tdrink”.

KZNLA is the only public entity in KZN thathas the right to issue licences to hotels, restau-rants, taverns, bottle stores and pubs.

He said the DA believes thatcertain individuals within the

Councillor goes beyond call of duty

NTUNTU DWEBA>>ntuntu.dweba@feveronline.co.za

A WARD 9 Matatiele councillor went be-yond his call of duty and became a policeofficer for the benefit of the community.

CllrPakkiesandhiscommunityarrestedarmed-robbery suspects in Mahangu vil-lage, Matatiele recently.

Pakkies was informed by the communi-

ty that a robbery was in progress, after theyhad called Afsondering police for assist-ance, but to no avail.

“After I received the call I rushed to thescene at midnight. I found one suspect inthe hands of the community and saved himbecause they wanted to kill him,” he said.

After apprehending one suspect,Pakkies gathered information on thewhereabouts of the other suspects.

“I asked some of the community to ac-company me to arrest the other suspectswhom I heard were dangerous and heavilyarmed. We arrested two at first, and hand-ed them to the police, with the hope thatthey [SAPS] would accompany us or takethis in their hands, but they failed to do so.

luleko Dzimande (20), Athenkosi Mzala(21), Sibongiseni Zondi (38), JabulaniMdingi (20) — some of whom are pupils,were arrested for armed robbery, housebreaking, theft and possession of unli-censed firearms.

“It is unacceptable that police are not

reliable, we can’t allow that,” Pakkies said.“I wrote to the provincial commissioner

and the national commissioner about thiswith the hope that I will get immediate as-sistance in this regard,” he added.

Motloung said he is aware of the matterand they will be investigating it.

IT was a blessing for Fullness ofChrist Ministries members lastweekend as the church held itsyear-end conference.

The three-day conference,which started on Friday, sawchurch members from CapeTown, the South Coast, Mt Frereand Mthatha flocking to thechurch headquarters in Kokstad.

It’s purpose, according to Pas-tor Fezile Kobus from the Qumbu

branch, was to revive andencourage congregants to expectgood things from God in the com-ing year, and to introduce nextyear’s theme — “Be Conformed tothe Likeness of Christ”.

“We are also here to thankGod, for He has been with us, andduring our trials and challengeshe saw us through them,” Kobussaid.

Bishop Mthokozisi Gama saideverything God promised he hasfulfilled.

“Jesus Christ, Son of God, wasborn because of God’s promise,and we are here so that the pur-pose of God stands,” he said.

Monday’s incident was appallingONMonday the municipality witnessed an un-fortunate scenewhen our offices were invadedby unknown people who poured human faecesin reception.

That incident forced the staff to abandontheir jobs and run away because of the smell.

Serviceinthemainofficeweredisruptedandthe community and staff were traumatised bythe action.

Whatwas painful is that the council speakerand the municipal manager were having ameeting with the leaders of the ConcernedResidents of Ward 1 group where we weretrying to iron out some of the issues that were

raised by them and we were hoping to find anamicable solution on those issues.

I want to stress that the municipality is will-ing to negotiate with all citizens of the munici-pality, but we will not accept unbecoming con-duct and hope that the lawwill play its role.Wecan’t put people’s lives in danger by exposingthem to hazardous action.

We urge the community not to copy whathappened on Monday.Merry Christmas to everyoneThe Greater Kokstad Municipality wishes

everyone a merry Christmas and a happy NewYear.

Open letter to the mayorMADAM Mayor when youwere inaugurated in2011we,theANCvoters,celebratedthevictoryofayoungwomanwhopromised to turn thingsaround for the GreaterKokstad Municipality.

You promised to sweep outmediocrity from your manag-ers.

We were fooled by the fewsuccesses you celebrated notknowing that you were steal-ing the legacy of the formermayor, Mbulelo Sithole.

After your election you be-haved like a spoilt goddess.Youfoughtwithmanagersandthey resigned in their num-bers. Shame on you mayorand your deputy mayor. Inyour term a lot of allegationsabout corruption surfaced.

We see a municipality thatis led with lies. In your termwe saw a lot of unfinishedprojects and the appallingstateofour roads.For the first

time themunicipality couldn’tpay service providers. In allthat the ANC shielded you. Iwishweknewwewereshield-ing a liar.

MadamMayor you inherit-edagoodlegacy,andbeingtheonly female mayor of theKokstad Municipality, youbrought it to its knees. I readwith a shock that you calledjournalists to tell themlies,notknowing that provincialTreasury has given your mu-nicipal manager a reportabout fraud and corruption.

What a disgrace.As awoman I amashamed

to call you my mayor. As anANC voter I now agree withthosewhodoubtyourabilitytooccupy that office. They werecorrect to say you are dishon-est, cruel and the dirtiestleaderwho uses dark tricks tostay in power. I hope your fel-low bed mates see the messthey causedby rewarding you

with the mayorship. MadamMayor,youcanfoolsomeofthepeople, but you cannot fooleveryone. Even though Mtolocalls us “uneducated citizen”,wewill teach you a lesson.Wewill vote for the ANC, but wewill never vote for you. Do thehonest thing Madam Mayor,resign with immediate effector you will leave us with nochoicebut to forceyou todosoby making this townungovernable.

Thekaka throwingwas thebeginning of great things tocome.Enoughwith Jojozi andMtolo. We can’t be led bycheaters and liars.

Community wake up, theANC cannot endorse corrup-tion.We cannot hand ourmu-nicipalitytotheDAandEFFbyprotecting a liar. As the com-munity we demand that re-port.Wewillmobiliseamarchto demand that report.

Kokstad Resident

Concern at unbecoming behaviourWE, as the ANC Harry Gwala Region, note with con-cern the unbecoming behaviour of the Ward 1 Con-cerned Residents group.

The barbaric action of throwing sewage in theGreater Kokstad Municipality and Harry Gwala satel-lite office must be condemned in the strongest terms.

We also state that those people are not ordinarycommunitymembers,butrepresentacertainpoliticalorganisation.

It has come to our attention that our leaders areaccused of corruption. It must be noted that the ANCis bold in fighting corruption and we understandthat none of our leaders have been found guilty of

corruption. If anyone has factual information theymust bring it to our attention.

We note that there are still infrastructure backlogsbut there are challenges that both municipalities faceand are doing all in their power to resolve them.

The Harry Gwala District Municipality has alreadystarted the Horseshoe Sanitation project that aimsto convert VIP toilets to waterborne (flushing) toilets.

This shows that the notion that nothing is beingdone to address Ward 1 challenges is misleading.

We also clarify that Councillor Phumzile Nocandais the ward councillor and the service delivery pro-grammes will go through him.

We applaud the SAPS for responding quickly toour call to assist during incidents.

We appeal to residents and stakeholders to ab-stain from destructive methods under the pretenceof raising genuine service delivery matters.

We are fully aware that this is not the view of thegeneral public, but merely a handful of destructiveelements whose cheap political point-scoring isthrough hooliganism.

We thank the Kokstad communities, particularlyin Ward 1, for supporting us and assure them the ANCwill always be their home.

• Letter shortened.

IT appears that the chickens have comehome to roost inKokstadwith the latest inci-dent by the community of Kokstad throwingfaeces in the offices of Greater KokstadMunicipality and Harry Gwala DistrictMunicipality. The DA does not condone thistype of activity but sympathise with thoseresidents who have been complaining forsome years now about raw sewage spills.

Numerous complaints, newspaper arti-cles and even a KZN Legislature oversightvisit have produced no solution to the prob-lem. It is unacceptable that the communityhas to live in these horrendous conditionsand furthermore, to be insulted by Council-lor Ndobe in his response that these chal-lenges were inherited from the apartheidera. In fact the predominate sewage crisis isin residential developments that were con-structed by the ANC-run municipality.

Offurtherinterest,attherecentpresscon-ference by Mayor Jojozi and MM Mkhize,they lamented about the negative publicity

Kokstad was receiving from the media. Thereality is that thecommunityofKokstadcon-tinue to hear rumours about corruption andmaladministration, and so on.

Most disturbing is the recent denial byJojozi and Mkhize that they have yet to seteyesonthereportof theinvestigationbyPro-vincial Treasury into the state of Kokstad’sfinances, this when Provincial Treasury in-forms us that the report was handed toMkhize at the beginning of September.

Denial and “ducking and diving” of thesituationisnotthesolution,onlyanopenandtransparent agenda by GKM will stop thenegative publicity.

The DA will be calling on the MEC DubeofCogtatocompelGKMtoreleasethefindingof thereport, toonceand forall stopspecula-tion about the financial health of Kokstad.

In the hall, we started off with Pastor Saul deliver-ing the love of Jesus, blessed by St Thomas School.

A FCA official, part of the SAPS unit, Mr. V.T Qua-sha, spoke on abuse against children and the 16 Daysof Activism Against Women and Children. The combi-nation group with their guitars and voice enthralledthe audience with gospel music.

Grade 5 pupils followed with plaintive chordsstruck as angels uncurled, rose, swayed and sang likea heavenly choir.

The fire brigade performed a wonderful dance andhad previously educated pupils about the dangers offire and safety measures that should be taken.

Our Grade R pupils (tiny graduates) assured us ofSouth Africa’s future as Jojozi, assisted by Miss Lepita,handed our certificates and did the honours.
