A number of reasons to celebrate extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto ries. This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses sion coverage because you never know what to ex pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the byelections and once again, hoping for positive change. We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world. The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breathtaking skyline together with a host of won derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa. After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by a South African.

MANY people either look forward to the festive pe riod and begin their countdown to Christmas in Oc tober, while others are left running for the hills to avoid the ‘silliness’ that comes with the season. As we get ready to wind down and take a breath er, we decided to reflect on some of the wonderful reasons to celebrate the year that was. Yes, we can talk about some of the lowlights as well (no pun on the word ‘lights’), but that would not be very festive at all. The team at the Fever has had a wonderful year and has shared some truly remarkable memories with you. We’ve had an actionpacked year from meeting wonderful individuals who are slowly changing their communities one step at a time to covering campaigns that shows a proactive community who are willing to fight for their beloved home towns.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world. South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy. It’s been a year since his death and many ques tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’. Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some times comes to the fore. The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

Dear Readers, TODAY marks the end of another year for the Hillcrest Fever, and as the festivities kick off for this season, let us reflect on moments that touched our lives and the community this past year. 2014 has been marked by persistent challenges in our economy with price inflations (food, electricity, fuel, etc.). We had weather catastrophes and crime

continues to destroy some of our communities. However, the one thing that continues to stand undefeated is the spirit of the Upper Highway community. Through the difficult times, our readers have once again proven that we are, without a doubt, among the most resilient and strong-willed. We have weathered all the storms that came our way and have demonstrated that we can be a community to be proud of - from our disabled horse rider achieving his goals to a local woman beating breast cancer and becoming an inspiration to others - our community stands together proud! We are confident that 2015 will be better than ever. We, at The Hillcrest Fever, have faced our

own challenges this year, but as we enter 2015 we renew our pledge to you to do our very best to continue to be the most accurate, fair and balanced source of news, opinion, features, sports and entertainment in the Upper Highway Area. We will continue to be open and honest with our readers and we assure you that the new year will be one never to be forgotten. Our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones this year and those experiencing difficulties of all types this holiday season. We extend sincere and warm wishes to our Hillcrest Fever family for a safe and peaceful festive season, and a happy and prosperous 2015. Kalisha Naicker Senior Journalist Hillcrest Fever

Protest repairs to cost thousands Hillcrest Fever

>> Municipal building windows, gates and the ablution facilities were damaged, the repairs of which will cost R60 000 SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com

IOTS erupted and brought Kokstad to a standstill last Monday after angry community members demonstrated. Their intention was to serve the Greater Kokstad Municipality with a memorandum asking for the municipal mayor and deputy mayor to step down, however this was not done. Damage caused by protesters is going to cost thousands to repair. Municipal building windows, gates and the ablution facilities were damaged, the repairs of which will cost R60 000. Acting municipal manager Nyaniso Msiya is pointing fingers at community leaders, who organised it, and said the municipality was told it was going to be a peaceful march. The march turned violent with protestors starting a fire in front of the municipal buildings in the presence of police and municipal police. “The municipality and community leaders arranged a meeting before the march and all parties agreed that the march was going to be peaceful. Community leaders were informed that failing to have a peaceful march would result in them being accountable for damages. “They told us they wanted to deliver a memorandum to anyone from the municipality except Mayor Nosisa Jojozi and deputy mayor Bheki Mtolo. But earlier in a meeting they indicated they wanted to deliver the memorandum to the office of the deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, and apparently I advised them to Google the deputy president’s office number to communicate with.” Msiya said the municipality heard that the march was not going to be peaceful as agreed in the meeting and decided to call for more police in case of violence. Business people were also told to be vigilant. The Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs was also told they would receive the memorandum.

Protest repairs to cost thousands “The march was scheduled to start at 11am, but started earlier than the agreed time and community leaders were told that by 2pm they had to leave the municipal buildings. “But things didn’t go as planned. Officials from the provincial government were available to accept memorandum, but unfortunately, community leaders refused to hand it over saying they want the deputy president to accept the memorandum, which was impossible for the municipality to arrange,” said Myisa. The memorandum was not delivered instead angry community members threw stones at the municipal building and started a fire. Msiya denied claims that the municipality does not want to release the Ernest and Young report to the public. “The municipality has nothing to hide about the outcome of the report. As soon as we have finished with it we will make it available to the public.” Kokstad Concerned Resident’s Association leaders who organised last week’s march defended themselves putting the blame on the municipality for granting them permission to march without the availability of the deputy president. Mawethu Nocanda, Mziwamadoda Sogayise and Eric Nkamba arrived at Fever offices to talk about the march which turned violent. Nocanda said the march started before 11am as arranged with the municipality, but blames police for forcing them to start at 10.30am. “Vandalism and looting of shops in Kokstad was not done by people who took part in the march. Kokstad criminals took advantage of the situation to vandalise shops and burn tyres on the road. “We apologise to Kokstad businesses and the municipality for the damage that has affected the Kokstad economy. According to Section 34, before granting a march, five parties should be involved - the magistrate’s office, SAPS, traffic department, municipal police, mayor and the municipal manager, but what surprised us was that the municipality granted the march without the court manager, mayor and traffic officers. “In all the march was said to be illegal by the municipality,” said Sogayise.

Nine on trial for Horseshoe violence >> Ward committee member opened a case after her RDP house was damaged SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com

HE trial of nine community members, accused of throwing stones at a ward committee’s house in Horseshoe, began last Thursday at the Kokstad Magistrate’s Court. Ward committee member Maggie Njangwini (50) opened a case of damage to property after her RDP house windows were damaged by a group of people in January. The attack occurred on the evening of January 25. On the same day, a community meeting, which was about to elect a ward councillor, was dispersed by police. In the dock the accused pleaded not guilty and denied charges of assaulting Njangwini’s relative and

My nine windows were stoned by the accused, from number one to number six. I never saw accused number seven, eight and nine, but it is not surprising to hear that they are implicated in this case damaging her house windows. Through their private defence lawyer, Zwelethemba Matebe of Khayalethu Nondabula Attorneys, claimed there is a bad blood between Njangwini and the accused, which is due to the election of ward candidates in the area. Accused number one, Athini Motseki, who is gaining community support to stand as the next councillor in the area, told the court through his defence, that he attended a meeting in

windows. “My nine windows were stoned by the accused, from number one to number six. I never saw accused number seven, eight and nine, but it is not surprising to hear that they are implicated in this case,” said Njangwini when cross examinated by the defence. She further said the accused planned to attack her house because she saw a group of more than 20 people singing coming towards her RDP house and as a result her brother’s son was hurt on the head during the attack. The trial was postponed for 14 and 15 July. All the accused are out on bail. Two other cases linked to the violent Horseshoe protests in January were postponed in order for the court to get a new magistrate.

During cross examination Njangwini denied claims that the accused are against Horseshoe ward councilor Phumzile Nocanda and the rest of Nocandas in the area. “I cannot confirm to this court that the accused are against Nocandas because one of Nocandas is in their camp. The relationship between me and the accused was good earlier, but it became bitter after they stoned my

Stock owners unite in fight against stock theft MATATIELE and Lesotho stock owners have united to fight stock theft on the border of South Africa and Lesotho. This week traditional leaders in both countries committed to tighten security at Qacha’s Nek border control in Matatiele. Chairperson of the crossborder committee, Teboho Seshea, said thieves are stealing stock from Lesotho and hiding them in South Africa. “Thieves in both countries know each other and we learnt that they steal stock from Lesotho and bring it here to South Afri ca, and stock from South Africa is taken to Lesotho. “Their time of stealing our cattle is going to end because we are working with SAPS, the SANDF and community leaders to fight this. The border gate is going to be patrolled day and night by stock owners.” The committee was established in 2008 by stock owners and law enforcement units to fight stock theft. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Raphael Motloung thanked stock owners for work ing with police to fight stock theft. “I want to encourage stock owners not to take the law into their own hands when they catch thieves. Police are doing their best to fight stock theft.” Supplied.

>> Pupil was allegedly beaten with a plastic pipe SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com

N 11-year-old pupil in Grade 5 at Matatiele Primary School was caned for cleaning a chalkboard during school last Tuesday. It is alleged that the teacher wrote something on the board and then left, and when the teacher returned the board had been cleaned. The teacher apparently asked pupils who had cleaned the board and the class pointed to the boy. The pupil was allegedly beaten with a plastic pipe and sustained injuries to his arm, thigh and bottom. The pupil’s guardian told Fever the pupil was taken to Matatiele Hospital after complaining about pain. A case has been opened against the teacher. “The boy has no mother so I take care of him. “The school management team asked me to withdraw the case against the teacher, but I refused because the

boy told me that this is not the first time the teacher had used a plastic pipe as punishment,” said the angry guardian. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Raphael Motloung confirmed the incident and said the teacher was arrested on Wednesday and released on R1 000 bail after being charged for grievous bodily harm. Provincial spokesperson for the department of education Malibongwe Mtima condemns corporal punishment. “I thank the pupil’s guardian for taking action against the teacher. Corporal punishment was banned years ago. Once a teacher is found guilty of such a crime the department will fire the teacher.” Mtima warned teachers who use corporal punishment to rather discipline them. The principal told Fever he is unaware of the incident, but asked for the name of the pupil and the guardian.

MATATIELE SAPS have opened a case of murder and rape following the discovery of a 77-year-old woman who was found strangled in a trunk at Shenxa village in Matatiele on Tuesday. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Raphael Motloung said the woman’s body was discovered by a young girl who noticed an open door in one of the houses in the village. “When the girl entered the house

she saw the woman’s body in an open trunk with a cloth around the neck. She ran away and called the neighbours. “It appears the woman was raped before being killed.” The woman lived alone. Police are appealing to anyone to come forward with information that can lead to a speedy arrest. - Supplied.

Community threaten to fight, shut down schools, for ward councillor SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com PAKKIES Ward 6 community members are threatening to shut down schools if their ward councillor, Tshibi Mhlakoana’s name doesn’t appear on the list of nominated candidates in the ward. On Monday, community members

were granted bail by the Kokstad Magistrate’s Court following their unrest last Friday. Public Order Police had to fire rubber bullets at them and as a result 17 people between the ages of 23 and 58 were arrested. Outside court Mamello Radasi (41) said police acted wrongly by firing rubber bullets and arresting people.

“The community was about to open a meeting to decide what steps to take to address the problem of the ward councillor after we heard that Mhlakoana is to be replaced by Ntombikhona Mfukuli as ward candidate. “Police arrived and without finding out more and opened fire on the people.”

Pakkies has more than six farm villages. The angry community threatened to shut down schools if Mhlakoana’s name is replaced with Mfukuli’s name. “We held a branch general meeting in January and nominated Mhlakoana, unopposed and Mfukuli is not part of our community,” said Nomvula Ngwenya (32).

Mhlakoana was elected as a ward councillor in 2011, and community members want him to serve another five years after the 3 August local government elections. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Dumisani Ncongo confirmed there was unrest in the area and the arrested people were charged with public violence.

SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com

HE service delivery flame, which marks 16 years of democratic local government in South Africa, reached the Umzimkhulu Municipality recently. The flame is used as a symbol of defining prestigious programmes done in the past 16 years in municipalities. This year marks 16 years of a democratic local government in South Africa where all municipalities in KwaZuluNatal use this opportunity to

reflect on the 16-year journey and celebrate its successes. During the handover of the flame communities reflected on the road the municipality has travelled towards creating a better life through the provision of service delivery over the years. It has been 21 years since the arrival of democracy and 16 years into the operation of a new local government dispensation. The flame was officially launched in Ugu District and moved to local municipalities under Harry Gwala District.

Umzimkhulu has been awarded the best municipality on IDP implementation in KZN. The municipality has also consecutively earned two clean audit awards, among other achievements. Umzimkhulu Local Municipality has spent more than R20 million on road maintenance and increased its personnel.

when not attending to a patient. Some have even been found parked in braai areas and malls. On Tuesday afternoon, two female Eastern Cape paramedics caused chaos when they parked in a disabled parking bay at Pick n Pay Centre in Kokstad, but when mall security guards told them to move their ambulance they shouted at them and proceeded to go shopping in the mall. When they came back they discovered that security had clamped one of the ambulance wheels. They shouted and called the guards names, demanding that they release the ambulance, but the guards said they had to pay a R300 fine just like other abled motorists who park in the disabled bays have to, but they refused to pay. However, the centre manager saw what was happening and finally gave the okay for the ambulance to be released. Many Kokstad residents are very concerned about the abuse of Eastern Cape ambulances by paramedics. “I used to see ambulances driving up and down in our township such as Bhongweni and Shayamoya even going near shebeens,” said a resident who asked not to be named. This was not the first time a situation like this has happened - some time ago Eastern Cape paramedics were caught shopping in Port Shepstone using an ambulance as transport. At the time of going to press, the EC Department of Health could not be reached for comment.

Alleged thieves arrested AN integrated effort by law enforcement of ficers and a private security company yield ed results when they cornered and arrested four suspects for robbery and recovered sto len goods to the estimated value of R680 000. On Wednesday, at about 9am at eMa chunwini area near Harding, a vehicle carry ing cigarettes was robbed at gunpoint and the suspects fled in two vehicles towards Ixopo. Description of the vehicle was circulated to neighbouring stations and other law en forcement in the area. The station com mander of Ixopo SAPS received information that the suspects were on their way to Ixopo and mobilised members to be on a lookout for these vehicles. Members from the Road Traffic Inspec torate spotted a black Audi fitting the de scription of the suspected vehicle driven by the suspects and pulled it over. The vehicle had three occupants inside and the driver jumped out as instructed by the members who wanted to search the boot of the vehi cle. As the members were busy with the driv er, the passenger quickly jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off leaving their friend behind with police. The getaway suspects did not get far, they were cornered by the Ixopo SAPS shortly thereafter.

Pietermaritzburg K9 members were summoned and as soon as they entered the bush with the dogs one suspect jumped out and was arrested. The second vehicle, a Ford Ranger, was intercepted by Magma Security guards in Creighton and arrested two sus pects.

MUNiCiPALiTy

Eastern Cape Provincial Department of Human Settlements MEC Helen Sauls-August has released a fiveyear human settlements delivery report covering the period 2011-2016. Housing is a basic human right, which is enshrined in the Constitution. The department, through the informal settlements upgrading programme, has reduced the housing backlog in KZN from 750 854 in 2001 to 606 616 in 2011. According to THE Census 2011 report, 7.7% of people in Eastern Cape live in informal settlements (vs South Africa: 13,6%) a reduction from

11,5% in 2007). The reports contains the exact number of units built, the number of rectified defective houses, number of title deeds and total budget expenditure on human settlements development between 2011 and 2016. The report is obtainable in all Department of Human Settlements offices and from municipality offices. That is all from us for now. Until next time, stay safe and be blessed. Thank you sweet people from sweet Matat, a destination of choice and excellence.

party has decided to consider this year when people elect candidates at branches. “During election of ward candidates com munities at branch general meetings they have been given the chance to elect two male and two females. “Now the unrest we see in branches is caused by some male candidates who are worried about the outcome of list conferen ces. Male candidates fear they might not be on the list so they keep getting communities to protest for them.” Last week communities and ANC mem bers demanded that Kokstad mayor Nosisa Jojozi and her deputy, Bheki Mtolo, step down. Nxumalo said the protest in Kokstad was not about Mtolo and Jojozi, it was about peo ple being used by individuals within the ANC who wanted to dent the names of Mtolo and Jojozi.

To resolve unrest in Kokstad Nxumalo said re gional leadership held a meeting with all 10 branches in Kokstad on Tuesday. “The meeting was fruitful and all bran ches were told to campaign for the ruling par ty, not to focus on who is elected.” He said there are councillors who didn’t complain when the ruling party removed them as candidates for 2011 local govern ment elections. Nxumalo said party members were told not to cry about not being elected, instead they should campaign for the party on 3 Au gust. Chairperson of the unhappy branches in Kokstad, Sihle Mbabala, said they are going to arrange another meeting next week to meet with ANC provincial leadership. He de nied claims that there are people in the ruling party who want to score their political goals through protest.
