THE driver of this Umvoti Municipal Disaster Management bakkie was photographed taking delivery of cases of beerfrom the Cabanga Liquor Store in Matimatolo around 3pm on Thursday, 8 May.This blatant abuse of municipal property (at the expense of ratepayers) wasreported by Councillor M Yengwa thefollowing day to the municipal manager, who confirmed that the vehicle in
question belonged to Umvoti Municipality.The MM, Mr B Xulu, assured Ynegwathat disciplinary action would be takenand that he would contact him thatMonday (12 May) to inform of the actiontaken. Three weeks later that call backhas still not been made.
As no response was received from themunicipal manager, Yengwa then contacted administrator Martin Sithole,who also assured him that disciplinaryaction would be taken and he wouldreport back. Three weeks later no response has been received from any ofthe municipal officials and the driverconcerned is carrying out his daily duties...undisciplined.
Blatant abusebut UmvotiMunicipalitytakes no action
ACTING on informa-tionreceived,BuffaloSecurity personnelrecovered stolencopper cables andmaize and arrestedfour people in a wellmanaged operation.At3amlastThursdayin the Seven Oaks ar-ea, security caughtthe three men withtheir stolen goodsand handed themover to the Greytownpolice.A female, who waswith one of the men,was also arrestedwhen found in pos-sessionof twobags ofsuspected stolenmaize.
The suspects aredue to appear in theGreytown Magis-trate’s Court thisweek.
KRANSKOP and Umvoti residents arethrilled at the appointment of local resi-dent,NhlanhlaNene,as thefirsteverblackMinister of Finance in the new cabinetwhich was announced by President Zumaon Sunday.And also the first ever national cabinet
minister from the area.The overall response is that “he is such
a nice, friendly approachable guy.”Living in Kranskop with his wife, they
are both highly respected citizens of thevillage.Shopping is done at local stores and,
Minister Nene, a fitness fanatic, is oftenseen running in the area.He first hit the national headlines in
2008 when appointed deputy Minister ofFinance.Born in1958, hematriculated fromGco-
thoyi Adult Centre and completed aB.ComHonours degree in econom-
ics at the University ofWestern Cape and
also has di-
plomas inmarketing, economic policy anda certificate in macro and micro econom-ics from the University of London.A member of the ANC since 1999, he
served as chairperson of the local ANCBhambathabranchand is a regional exec-utive member.An interesting fact is that during his 15
years as a regional admin manager forMetropolitan Life Insurance, he organisedthe first ever strike in the financial sectorin 1990 - hewas a labour union shop stew-ard and led a negotiating team for betterworking conditions from 1990 to 1995.He became a Member of Parliament in
1990 and chaired the Parliamentary port-folio onFinance. Therehas beenapositivepublic response to his appointment withcomments such as “he's not some sort ofmaverick.”Business has expressed the hope that he
will be business friendly in contrast to theprevious cabinet.Renownedas an “engaging communica-
tor”, Nene is considered a good listenerand is seen as a capable technocrat whois familiar to domestic and internationalinvestors.The Greytown Gazette, on behalf of all
its readers, wishes the newMinister of Fi-nance Nhlanhla Nene of Kranskop all thebest.

THEY are angels in disguise.For the past four years, Sibongile
Shezi and Lungile Mthembu havetaught and cared for children withspecial needs at various venues.They currently have 14 youngstersat uBuhlebomvoti School, which ishoused in a section of the old RuralMetro building in York Street. TheDepartment of Education is pa-tiently waiting to register thisschool but is unable to do so untilland is granted, upon which theycan build the required classroomsetc.
Discussions have, for the pastfour years, been held with UmvotiMunicipalitybut ithasnotcomefor-ward with any offers of suitableland.
What is now needed urgently isfor some caring public-spiritedbusinessman, farmer or even themunicipality to donate land so thatthe school can be registered andbuilt. Interestingly enough, NqutuMuncipality provided land andhave opened a special needs schoolwhich was all achieved within thepast three and half years.
The two ladies are running theschool voluntarily - in other wordstheydonot receive anypayment forthe wonderful caring work theycarry out. They do not even receivea transport allowance to cover thecosts of their daily travel from theirhomes to the school. If any two areworthy of community recognitionand assistance, it is Sibongile andLungile.
There is awaiting list of up to 200children with special needs whoshould be attending such a schoolwhich caters for inclusive disabili-ties. The Department of Education
is fully committed to the establish-ment of this school. Ideally aboutfive ha’s of land is required, witheasy access to tarred roads - be-cause of the circumstances of someof the children, a hostel would bepart of the new school. The school'sname, uBuhlebomvoti (Beauty ofUmvoti),was chosenaftera compe-titionwas held to find a name. Overthe past four to five years, an inter-sectoral task team informal com-mittee, with the Umvoti DisabilityForum, was very involved but un-fortunately has not operated for awhile - but could be set up again.Thechildrenareveryproudof theiruniforms, which were bought andpaid for by Mrs Shezi herself.

DESPITE appeals from membersof the public, a councillor andMagistrate's court personnel, theDepartment of Works has takenno action to preserve or protecttheGreytownmagistrate'shouse.Windows have been broken, all
the electricity ripped out, basinstorn off the wall and broken, theshower used as a toilet...andmore.The house was vacated by
Greytown's previous magistrate,Gert van Rooyen, who contactedthe Greytown Gazette to say howshocked he and his wife had beento see the damage since it washanded back to the Departmentat the end of January.“Nothing is done to safeguard
the propertywhich belongs to the
ratepayers,” he said.Councillor Paul Buss raised the
vandalisation and lack of securitywith the Department of Work'shead office in Ladysmith...with atotally negative response.It will cost a considerable
amount of money to restore whathasalwaysbeenawell-kepthome- an unnecessary expense due tothe total “don't care a damn” atti-tude of the powers that be.

ALTHOUGH the State initiallyopposed bail for 24-year old Ph-elelani Mchunu, driver of the bak-kie that plunged into a Rietvleidam killing five schoolgoers, itwithdrew its opposition whenlearning that the grieving parentshad no objections stating that itwas an accident and they hadagreed that Mchunu should drivethe children.
Mchunu appeared in a packedGreytown Magistrate’s Court lastWednesday on five counts of cul-pablehomicide.MagistrateSCNg-cobo warned the accused that iffound guilty, he could be sen-tenced to a lengthy prison sen-tence.A police spokesman said hewouldalso be charged with reckless andnegligent driving and attemptedmurder.
The tragedy occurred on Mon-day, 12 May, when Mchunu, driv-ing the bakkie with 29 school chil-dren on the back, allegedly lostcontrol and plunged into a sludgedam.Five children died and 24were in-jured, twoofwhomare still in hos-pital. The children attendedschool in Mooi River.Amemorialservice for thefivewasheld at Senzokuhle CombinedSchool last Thursday and was at-tended by a huge crowd. The casewas remanded to 7 July.

FOR the past five years, aWaste Buy Back Centre hasbeen operating actively inGreytown. The company isrun by Greytown RecyclingOwner, Mrs H Motala, whotold the Greytown Gazettethat in 2009, the companyhad bought a four acre sitein the industrial area.
A weigh bridge and bail-ing machine had been in-stalledandthree trucksanda bakkie purchased.
Thirty-four people areemployed to work at thecentre.GreytownRecycling
take or buy back anythingthatcanberecycled-paper,plastic, polyprop, plasticand glass bottles and scrapmetal. It handles 150tonnes of waste a month.
In last week's GreytownGazette, Umvoti Municipal-ity advertised a notice of in-tention to lease land to setup ‘The Buy Back Centre’.In response to this, MrsMotala said that discus-sionshadbeenheldwiththeMunicipality and the De-partment of Environmentand both had indicated that
they would work with theGreytown Recycling Centreand assist in improving theservice - but nothing hascome of this.
At this stage it seems to-tally unnecessary for mon-ey to be spent by UmvotiMunicipality on setting up awaste buy back centrewhen an effective and effi-cient one is already up andrunning in the area and hasbeen for the past five years.

E-TOLLS could be operative in KZN at theMarianhill and Oribi toll plazas by Novem-ber.
A Sanral spokesperson announced lastweek that it would not be an additional toll,but an alternative method of collecting ex-isting tolls. Motorists would still have themanualpaymentoptionat theseplazasande-tolls were being introduced to speed upthe flow of vehicles.
Currently, 300 vehicles per hour use themanual payment system, whereas e-toll
couldspeedupthe flowofupto700vehiclesan hour. Additional lanes would be builtwhich would enable vehicles to go throughthe new e-toll
lanes at a speed of about 40kph - thebooms would lift on scanning the e-tag.
Approximately 100 000 vehicles use the
N3 and Marianhill toll plaza daily.The Gauteng e-tolls have been plagued
bycontroversyandspokesman for theGau-teng Opposition to Urban Tolling AllianceurgedKZNmotorists “not to be seduced in-to assisting Sanral to gain any traction forits ill conceived e-toll scheme.”

By Slindokuhle Mchunu.IT was an exciting and different event
for six to 10 year olds who were invitedby Boxer Superstore to compete in a cakedecorating competition last Saturday.
Greytown store manager organized theevent outside the store and the youngstershad a ball as they played with the foodsand got themselves all messy.
Some amazing talent came to the foreas each one got more and more creative.Prizeswere a R50 Boxer voucher, valid forSaturday only. It really was a fun and hap-py couple of hours for the young girls andthe parents who supported them.

ANOTHER two weeks to go and we start our racing season again.
On 7 June, you will find fanciers gazing skywards in anticipation of an early arrival from thefirst race point which is Volksrust, a distance of200 kms approximate flying time is two andhalf hours at 80 kms per hour, which is a pigeon'saverage flying speed in favourable conditions.
We progress from this distance on a northerlyroute to Louis Trichardt a distance of 700 kms.
All medical treatments and vaccinations havenow been done and the training baskets broughtout. There have been many kilometers travelledin an effort to get the birds fit and on form inpreparation for the racing programme.
Some of the later breed yearlings still havea couple of flights to moult out but should befully moulted by the first race, although I believethat as long as they have a full wing showingno gap, they should be able to do the business.
The north route, which we will be flying thisyear, has always been fairly kind to Greytown,as the birds used to fly directly over us, and, ifyou had a good one, it would drop from the packto its loft which put us on par with Pietermaritzburg fanciers. Lets hope we have that sort ofluck this year, so we can collect some combinepositions.
Anyone who happens to find any injured orflown out pigeon bearing an identification ring,please contact Trevor Tatham at 084 829 9799and I will attempt to contact the owner.

If on Saturday you needed a vet- he was on the golf course. Afarmer? They were on the golfcourse. A teacher, an insurancesalesman, site foremen, secre-tary, marketing director? Younameit, theywereallonthegolfcourse.The golfers playing in the StCathryn’s classic were greetedwith perfect golfing weather
and a showlike atmosphere.Mascor displayed their vehiclesandtractors,withtheirbannershardly moving in the wind allday.
It took the team from Digis-can CCTV defending their 2013title, and theywalkedawaywiththe trophy and title with 52points.
Mention must be made of Ja-co Botha, who drove the par 4,13th hole, measuring 340m,
where he had to play his secondshot from behind the green,back to the flag. Other shotsthat drew attention were thenearest to pin of Louis Stegenon the 9/18th and the out ofbounds shot of Mike Harri-
