Oceans of loveDRIVINGtourism>> Booming local tourism will also help boost local accommodation

NQOBILE MTOLO>>nqobile@pmbfever.co.za

THERE is a dire need for majorevents in the city.

This will not only drive tourism,but will also increase Pietermaritzburg’slocal economy.

Making a presentation at an Execu­tive Committee (Exco) meeting, TsogoSun’s head of entertainment andevents, Sizwe Jantjie, proposed apartnership with the Msunduzi Munici­pality in hosting the Golden Horse Sprintevent for the next three years.

“We don’t want the Golden HorseSprint to compete with the VodacomJuly, the J&B Met or the Sansui SummerCup.

“We believe that is has a uniquebrand with a unique positioning. It givesanopportunityasaneventforeconomicdevelopment.

“This event will drive people to thecity and influence tourism. If this eventwent national and was seen beyond theregion of Pietermaritzburg and Durban,it would allow us to use those platformsto sell tourism so that people couldcome to this region and align with anevent that does not leave the city,” hesaid.

Jantjie added that it was interesting

that the Dusi canoeists paddle down toDurban, the Comrades marathon startsin Pietermaritzburg and makes it way toDurban and the Amashovashova startsin PMB and also ends in Durban.

“We seem to be giving prominenceto events which leave the city.

“This does not help to drive econom­ic value in this region. Where people stayand enjoy the event ultimately is wherethey spend most of their money,”explained Jantjie.

He said that booming local tourismwill also help boost local accommoda­tion.

“We have four guest houses withinthis region and we will be selectinganother six in June. When we have filledup hotels and there is no place for peo­ple to stay, we refer people to theseguest houses because we know that wehave been intricately involved in gettingtheir standards up.

“This race has the potential toenhance the way people live from aneconomic point,” said Jantjie.

He said that this year, they are look­ing at bringing acts such as Micasa,Zakes Bantwini, Good Luck, Dj SHEctac­ula, Prime Circle and Mafikizolo, tomention but a few, to the city.

Jantjie said that one of the thingsthis event does not have is an impact

study.Nkanyezi Cele and Njabulo Mathe­

bula of Starlight promotions alsopresented their plans before Exco forPietermaritzburg to establish its ownjazz festival.

Both are seasoned musicians whohave worked as musicians and musicpromoters in over 20 countries.

DA councillor Mergan Chetty saidthat the municipality should focus onservice delivery and not on festivals.

In response, Msunduzi mayor ChrisNdlela said: “Let us not pretend as ifpoverty is the only thing we can thinkof. We are trying to raise a profile toindirectly address the poverty levels ofour city.

“The fact that we do not haveenough accommodation is precisely thereason that we want to develop the city.When tourism is booming, there will bea need to develop accommodation inthe city and there will be job creation.”

Msunduzi CFO Nelisiwe Ngcobo saidthat an impact study needs to beconducted on the sprint race to deter­mine the economic benefits it bringsinto the city.

Municipal manager Mxolisi Nkosisaid that three years should be a suffi­cient period to develop a brand for thejazz festival.

On April 12 and April 13, the Sunflower Fund will be hosting a fun morning at LibertyMidlands Mall in front of Pick n Pay, and are encouraging all members of the public tocome along and take part. Come and find out how you can join the South African BoneMarrow Registry, and give hope to patients in need of a bone marrow stem cell trans­plant and help raise funds by placing coins onto the ‘Flower of Hope’.Each year, thousands of South Africans are diagnosed with blood disorders such asleukaemia, marrow failure and aplasia. For many, their only chance of survival is a bonemarrow stem cell transplant. Sometimes it’s possible for a relative to be a donor, butmost patients are not so lucky and so a search for a matching donor must begin. Thechance of finding a matching donor is just one in 100 000 within your own ethnicgroup. For more information, contact Kenwyn at 083 632 3224 or kenwyn@sunflower­fund.org.za or call toll free 080 012 1082 or visit www.sunflowerfund.org.za

THE Msunduzi Municipality runs anannual verification process to see ifthere are any ghost employees withinthe organisation.

Recently, Msunduzi employees hadto queue inside the city hall with theirID books and their latest pay slips. Thisyear, the verification process took onlyfour days.

Msunduzi Municipality spokesper­son Madeleine Jackson­Plaatjies saidthat the outcomes of this verification

process will be included in a report oncethe exercise has been concluded.

“There is nothing that ‘prompted’the search. This is a verification processthat is held on an annual basis,” shesaid.

Explaining how the municipalityends up having ghost employees, shesaid that this generally happens whenpeople resign and that information isnot escalated to the human resourcesdepartment for termination, but pay­ments continue to be made to differentbank accounts.

“It also happens when line function

managers submit information for theemployment of people, but then enterinto a fraudulent collation with thoseby getting paid without working for thestate. Each line function manager isresponsible for ensuring that all peopleon the payroll and assigned to that unitare gainfully employed.”

The process of employee verifica­tion started in 2010 while the munici­pality was under administration.

The municipality uncovered 21 pos­sible fake employees. At the time,Msunduzi’s administrator JohannMettler was quoted as saying: “[We

will] then investigate how they got onthe system, why they remained on thesystem, which manager was responsi­ble … and the manager that allowedthem to remain on the system.

Any [financial] loss that the munici­pality suffered will have to be recoveredfrom those responsible.

If people were paid and they werenot working for the municipality, thenthey’ll have to pay that moneyback.”

Ngesonto eledlule ngibizwe uzakwethuehhovishni leEVER ezongibukisa umhlola.Angikaze ngiyibone into enje! Futhi angifisiukuphinde ngiyibone. Lomhlola besiwubu­ka kwi­computer, uthwetshulwe nge­cell­phone kwenziwa i­video yawo. Kule­videouqale ubone amantombazane egqoke izin­gubo ezincane, ezicishe ziveze amaqhezuezinqa.

Uma ubukisisa kahle uyabona ukuthikungcwatshwa umuntu thizeni ophelezel­we yilamantombazane nomphakathi.Ngithe sengiyilandela kahle le­video, nankalamantombazane ebambe ibhokisi lalowoongasekho ehamba nalo emathuneni. Oku­qala nje ngithuswe indlela abagqoke ngayolabo ‘sisi.’

Emathutheni kukhona isikhathi laphoumfundisi evula ivesi, abeke amazwi besekuculwa izingoma zesonto. Hhayi ke! Ku­lomngcwabo wezimanga akwenzikangalokho.

Kube ukulibeka nje ibhokisi, u­Dj wad­edela ingoma yokuzijuxuza wena owabonaemcimbini othile. Ngibambe ongezansi in­dlela labo ‘sisi’ ekade bezijuxuza ngayo

I am that old, Black woman who foundherself in a quandary facing oncoming traffic,driving a small red car.

I was supposed to be going to Boom Streetfrom Boshoff Street, but I took a wrong turn.

Iwasnot evenaware that I hadmadeamis-take.

WhenIsawabigcarcomingtowardsmeandsuddenly swerving to the pavement, it didn’toccur to me at the time that the driver wasavoiding a head on collision.

And then there were more cars in my lane.Others changed lanes and I was sitting in mycar wondering what they were all doing in mylane.

I couldn’t move. I told myself there must beconstruction ahead or something, causingcongestion.

While I was waiting for these cars to movefrom my lane, I saw this White gentleman

standing next to my window shouting at me“you stupid vark, this is a one way street.”

I was stunned.A ‘stupid vark’ indeed. How could I make

such a mistake?I was beside myself with worry.You all being calm and patient, kind and

considerate preventedme fromcausing a fatalaccident.

Not to mention that you saved my life, yousaved my car, you saved me from going to jail,andyoualso saved the lives of theothermotor-ists.

May God Bless you.If you had dragged me out of my car and

beaten me to a pulp, I would have deserved it.My biggest thank you goes out to the White

gentlemanwhomademerealisemystupidanddangerous mistake.

Meneer, you are in heart, regardless of the‘V’ word. I also want to thank you for yourpresence of mind.

If I knewwhere everyone lived, Iwouldper-sonally come to your doorstep and thank youon my bended knee.

A note ofGRATITUDE

ONE of the most frequent words used to the run upof any election process in South Africa, be it local orprovincial, is the dreaded word corruption.

Citizens are aware and ready to vocalise the multi­ple effects of corruption, pointing out its devastatingimpact on the poor and destitute.

Ministers implicated and found guilty by our judici­ary serve a few days behind bars. They suddenly fallill with a debilitating sickness and receive a presiden­tial pardon, while some are redeployed to otherdepartments within government.

What a corrupt country we live in.Some have stated that SA is rapidly sinking into

the quicksand of pervasive corruption. Our policeforce, who are supposed to serve and protect, are nowtrigger happy. With the police accountable for 700deaths, with people either killed in protests or incustody, is totally unacceptable. Police brutality is onthe increase, with many cases being investigated bythe Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD).

In the last 10 years, police personnel has increasedby 50%, which translates to 67 035 new posts. Thetaxpayer had to fund the increase to the SAPS budgetduring the same period by a staggering 222%, whichtranslates to an astronomical R66.7 billion.

With the crime statistics released by governmentshowing negligible decreases in the murder rate, andin some cases increases in car hijackings and house

burglaries, citizens are bound to ask if the investmentin police personnel is paying dividends or is it just acase of the government trying to create jobs. Intensivetraining and effective support by senior managementis lacking.

The institute of Security Studies points out that1448 police officials, who have convictions for crimessuch as murder, rape and assault, are still workingwithin the force.

South Africa became a democratic country in1994, 20 years ago. Since 1994, according to Transpar­ency International, R700 billion has been lost tocorrupt officials, service providers and in parliamentitself. The tragedy is the frequency and impunity inthe way that corruption is carried out. As SAcelebrates 20 years of democracy, we need to totallyreject an average loss of R35 billion a year. This moneycould have been used to build more schools, employmore educators, build more houses, create employ­ment and alleviate poverty.

As the election date draws closer a master planneeds to be formulated on how to minimise or eradi­cate crime and corruption. South Africans deservebetter. The gains of our democracy can be easilyreversed if corruption continues to fester out ofcontrol.

Elections and corruption

WHEN launching campaigns, all political par-ties are required to comply with the appropri-

ate municipal bylaws regulating the elevationand dismantling of party banners and postersin local government areas.

But, clearly, the ANC deems itself exemptfrom this legal requirement.

ANCvoter registrationbannersandpostersin great numbers have been evident in andaround Pietermaritzburg for some monthsprior to thevoterregistrationweekendof8and9 November 2013 - and they are still up morethan four months after that event.

Likewise, with regard to the voter registra-tion weekend of 8 and 9 February 2014, ANCposters erected for that event have yet to betaken down more than a month later.

This is in clear contravention of theMsunduzi Advertising Signs Bylaws of 2006which inter alia stipulate that political postersmustberemovedwithin14daysafter theeventconcerned.

Themunicipal manager was first informedof thisunpalatable fact inwritingon30Decem-ber 2013, regrettably, to no avail to date.

It is imperative that themunicipalmanagernowseestoit thattheillegalANCvoterregistra-tion posters and banners referred to are takendown without any further delay.

In addition, he must ensure that theprescribed fines and penalties for contraven-ing the Advertising Signs Bylaws are imposedwithout fear or favour.

THE Office of the KZN Premierhas partnered with Media24 –owners of KZN local news – to

bring the highly successful spellingbee project to the whole of KZN.

The spelling bee began in the Zu-luland community in 2010, throughMedia24’s local newspaper in thatarea, the Zululand Fever.

Because of the success of theevent, and its rapid growth,Media24 mandated that it be takenthroughout the KZN province.

The Office of the Premier, in its

Media24’s head of local papers inSouth Africa, Ishmet Davidson, saidthe company is ‘thrilled’ at the pros-pect of the partnership.

He said this will see hundreds ofspellers throughout the province

take part in the competition, whichhas hundreds of thousands of randsin cash, book and bursary prizes upfor grabs.

“Media24 sees the spelling beeinitiative as having the potential tosignificantly increase the focus anddiscipline of pupils when it comes tolearning the English language.

“Partnering with The Office of thePremier, schools and teachers, webelieve we can make a positive im-pact on education in the province,”said Davidson.

IT seems like just the other day that Intel announced its fourth generation proces­sor chip ­ codenamed Haswell.

They have however been talking about the fifth generation chip for a fewmonths. Codenamed Broadwell, the fifth generation processor boasts a stagger­ing 14nm trigate transistor. For those of you who can’t recall the size correlation:One nanometer is 0.000000001 meter.

As with pre­released items, there is always a lot of speculation floating aroundregarding specifications, improvements and support, however there are a fewthings that have been confirmed by Intel regarding these points.

Haswell (fourth generation CPU) was built to support DDR4 on the serverbased CPU’s, but Broadwell will support DDR4 on all of their chips.

TheBroadwellchipwillalsobeIntel’sfirsttrue8­coredesktopprocessormodel– the highest count currently being six.

Intel have also been addressing over­heating issues from the over­clockingenthusiasts and have vastly improved the thermal interface between theheatsink and the actual chip.

Intel have also announced an Intel Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition proces­sor which will be an unlocked chip.

Thiswillmeanthatenthusiastswillbeabletoover­clockanentry­levelproces­sor. This has not been possible for quite some time, and hopefully we will seesome interesting statistics over the next few months.

SETTLERS Pre-Primary Schoolwas recently visited by threeteachers from The School at

Columbia University in NewYork, who are studying internationalteaching methods and cultures.

Amy Liebov, Karlyn Adler and

Massiel Santos are kindergartenteachers,asit isreferredtoinAmerica,whichmeans that they teach the sameage groups of children at Settlers.

Liebov said that the trio have beenstudying various teaching methodsfromdifferentcountriesforthelastfewyears, and this year was South Africa,so they decided the best way to learnabout it was to visit a school here.

The teachers also attended theEarly Childhood Developmentconferencewhich tookplaceatCowanHouse recently.

The children at the school andteachers warmly welcomed them,showing them around and explainingto them how teaching is conducted inSouth Africa.

races taking place in the province in themiddle of the year: in Pietermaritzburgon Sunday, 22 June, and in Durban onSunday, 24 August, 2014.

DuetotheTopGearFestival,therac­es have been rescheduled, with the firstrace, the Pietermaritzburg race, nowtaking place a few months earlier thanusual.

Ladieswillhaveabitofreprievefromthe chilly Maritzburg mornings with a9am start for both distances (10/5km).The race takes place around the scenicsetting of The Oval in Alexandra Park.

The Durban SPAR Women’s 10/5kmis on track for Sunday 24 August withthe start and finish at Sahara Stadium,
