This week east griqualand ONLINE EDITORIAL COMMENT

A number of reasons to celebrate 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.

To those people who are continuously going the

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.

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.

Have a safe and blessed festive season

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

Become a CITIZEN JOURNALIST

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.

HILANI Shange (33), Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Municipality Deputy Mayor says he is grateful to his ancestors for helping him survive a hail of bullets.

This after his Isuzu vehicle came under fire on Saturday at around 9pm.

According to Shange, he was going home from an ANC branch executive meeting in Ward 11 in Umzimkhulu at Kwezela rural village in Bulwer.

Shange said at home he got out of the vehicle, leaving the engine running, to open the gate and saw somebody hiding behind his vehicle.

“When I opened the gate and I heard gunfire so I ran to my yard and hid. The gunman continued shooting at my house, leaving it with six bullet holes. There were also three bullet holes in my vehicle.”

He said the shooting lasted for about five minutes, then it was quiet until the police arrived.

“My vehicle was still outside the gate when the police arrived and rescued me. I believe the gunman wanted to kill me.

“It is difficult to understand how I survived and now, although I don’t feel safe, I am not shaken.

“I will continue with my political work. What happened to me will not shift my focus as a leader of municipality and ANC. “I thank my ancestors for saving my life,” he told Fever.

It is believed that the shooting is behind the political killings that continue to ravage KZN ANC members.

The killings happened after divisions appeared between ANC Harry Gwala regional executive committee members, and which has now reached boiling point.

The tension is so bad it led to certain members hiring private security companies to protect them day and night because they received phone and SMS death threats.

Last month some regional executive members brought a vote of no confidence against their regional chairperson, Zamo Nxumalo.

Harry Gwala Regional ANC Secretary Sindie Msomi described the attempted murder of the deputy mayor “a barbaric act”.

She said they don’t want to associate the shooting of the deputy mayor with the vote of no confidence against Nxumalo.

She said they are worried because two weeks ago a shooting took place at night at ANC regional and Harry Gwala District Municipality offices in Ixopo, fortunately, no one was injured.

Police spokesperson Major Thulani Zwane confirmed the incident and said the deputy mayor survived by running, and they left him unharmed.

“Yes, I can confirm that a case of attempted murder has been opened at Bulwer.

“We are busy with the investigation and nobody has been arrested.

Harry Gwala District Municipality Ndabezitha spokesperson Tenza also confirmed the shooting at the municipal offices.

ORE than 1 000 members of Government Employment Pension Fund (GEPF) were taught about the services of the fund at a national outreach campaign in Kokstad on Saturday.

GEPF board member, Advocate Makhubalo Ndaba, assured members that despite the current world economic situation, the fund is stable and committed to paying members accordingly.

Ndaba warned members not to allow individuals, who pretend to be GEPF employees, to influence them to resign from their job in order to get the money instead of working until they retire.

“There are members who fall for the trick only to realise that it is not true. The GEPF doesn’t encourage people to resign early to grow their benefits.”

The fund is the largest pension fund in Africa, with over 1,2 million contributing members. It was established in 1996 through the incorporation of a number of pension funds serving government employees.

Pensioner Hazel Mabetshe, a former teacher, said she is happy about the outreach programme.

“This programme has opened our eyes and

educated us about not being cheated by people who pretend to be GEPF employees.”

Some GEPF pensioners asked why government doesn’t allow them to receive an old age grant as well.

“We are going to do other outreach programmes to ensure that members, who live far from our offices receive sufficient information,” said GEPF spokesperson, Mack Lewele.

Education MEC to visit Kokstad KWAZULU-Natal MEC for Education, Mthandeni Dlungwana invites district officials, principals, teachers, school governing bodies, parents and the leadership of teacher unions to the Harry Gwala District consultative meeting on transformation of the schooling system.

The meeting will be held on Sunday, 16 October at 10am at Kokstad College. The aim of the meeting will be to consult on the establishment of first Mega state boarding school as well as the establishment of an agricultural school.

ANC candidate goes ‘into hiding’ SIPHELELE NKETO Siphelele@media24.com AN ANC Ward 1 candidate, Selby Maphumulo, from the Umuziwabantu Municipality in Harding, has been put in an undisclosed “safe place” after receiving death threats.

Political parties in Ward 1 are campaigning for the by-elections that are to take place on 9 November.

The ward candidate position became vacant after ANC candidate Bongani Skhosana was shot and killed in July just before elec-

tions.

Ward 1 ANC deputy chairperson, Zimele Mkhize, didn’t divulge information about the threats that were received by Maphumulo, but said the ruling party decided to hide him for his own safety.

“Cars that are not known to people in the area are driving around here and we are scared of them. There have been threats that ANC vehicles that drive around here will be set alight.”

No case of intimidation was reported to police according to Mkhize.

Ruling party accused of nepotism COMMUNITY members of 10 Kokstad wards are accusing Kokstad ANC leaders of recruiting their own members for a Sanral project that is under way on the N2 between Kokstad and Harding.

Unhappy representatives from Kokstad Concerned Residents Association held a meeting with acting GKM manager Andile Velem to voice their dissatis­

faction about nepotism in their wards.

The meeting was protected by SAPS members in and outside municipality boardroom.

At the meeting Velem told the representatives to raise their concerns with Mayor Bheki Mtolo, who was not at the meeting.

Velem agreed that Sanral approached him about job opportunities for 60 people, but said he never recruited ANC members for the INVITATION TO QUOTE project.

Drought hits farmers hard

Horse racing east griqualand FEVER to be an annual Umzimkhulu event 14 October 2016

THE Local Economic Development and Tourism Unit at Umzimkhulu Municipality believes that horse racing will attract tourists and grow the local economy, so recently the municipality hosted a horse race that was well attended.

Thulani Cele from the Tourism Unit encouraged people to visit tourist sites in Umzimkhulu to increase their knowledge.

“We want to market tourism and the heritage of the area so that people choose to visit Umzimkhulu in the holidays,” said Cele.

Generations actress Andisiwe

Dweba, who plays “Getty” in the soapie, attended the horse race to promote tourism.

Places of interest to tourists include Kroemhoek Caves where rocks inside the cave make a “musical sound”.

There is also a natural healing spring called Isinuka in Umzimkhulu and the municipality is planning to upgrade the road to the spring so motorists will enjoy smooth driving there.

Horse racing is to be an annual event that will be held every September to bring people together and attract tourists.

ARMERS around Kokstad and neighbouring areas are praying for more rain. W The Fever visited Nchodu village outside Maluti and saw “boney” cattle eating grass next to houses because of the shortage of grass and water in nearby grazing lands.

A farmer told Fever that some people are having to slaughter their cattle because of drought.

“It is terrible to see cattle starving.”

However, recently snow had fallen and there was a slight improvement in the grass growth.

Chief Thembani Tyhali of Vundle Traditional Authority in Matatiele said the drought has affected agriculture and farming badly.

“We are praying for heavy rain to save our cattle and crops.”

Maize production in many parts of South Africa are at their lowest compared to previous years.

Vusi Ngesi of the “Grain Co.” in Matatiele said farmers are starting

“We are praying for rain for our crops.”

Margi Fleming, PRO from the Mount Currie Farmers’ Association said the drought is the worst in living memory.

“Farmers are being forced to do some belt-tightening to ensure that they are able to continue farming.

Many crop, livestock and dairy farms are experiencing reduced production due to the drought.

“This drought is placing considerable strain on the agriculture sector, which in turn will impact the local economy.”

NDZ VIEWPOINT MUNICIPAL MANAGER, NC VEZI

GREETINGS to Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma (NDZ) and Harry Gwala district communities. It is a great pleasure that we bring to you the municipal viewpoint of this new municipality that contains updates, developments and upcoming events taking place within your municipality.

The Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Municipality has a plan to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality. According to the plan, NDZ can realise these goals by drawing on the energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building capabilities, enhancing the

capacity of the municipality, and promoting leadership and partnerships throughout society.

To accelerate progress, deepen democracy and build a more inclusive society, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Municipality must translate political emancipation into the economic well being of all.

It is up to residents to fix the future, starting today. This plan envisions a municipality where everyone feels free yet bound to others, where everyone embraces their full potential, a municipality where opportunity is determined not by birth, but by ability, education and hard work. Realising such a society will require transformation of the economy and focused efforts to build the municipality`s capabilities.

To eliminate poverty and reduce inequality, the economy must grow faster

Even if NDZ Municipality achieves economic growth every year and employment rises rapidly over the next five years, there will still be a need for such programmes in the future.

In line with this administration’s commitment to create a caring municipality through redress, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Council allocated that certain projects will take priority as part of the back-to-basics programme.

The election of ward committee structures is currently under way, some wards have completed the election process and other wards will complete before the end of October.

These are the structures whereby community issues are discussed at length, and hence the outcomes of these meetings inform the agenda for the council. Through ward committees, public participation is enhanced as part of the municipal Systems Act. We encourage our community members to come forward whenever they have something they want to inquire about or discuss with the municipality, because as Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Municipality we have an open-door policy, however, we encourage our people to follow the proper channels when they want to schedule a meeting with the municipal leadership or management.

I would like to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the upliftment of Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma com-

munity, which is demonstrated by the various initiatives we have undertaken and continue to drive in this area as outlined in our integrated development plan document (IDP).

We believe that a holistic approach is needed to address the challenges here at Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and that working together as stakeholders will assist in achieving our goals. We need to work together as one community because working in silos cannot be the silver bullet with which to address many layers of issues around our communities.

It is for this reason we have numerous programmes running in order to address the socioeconomic situations that often give rise to the high levels of social ills, which this community witnesses every day.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who came and supported us at the 2016 Duzi 2 Sani, we appreciate all your support and promise that next year will be even much bigger and better.

Today one can safely say without a doubt that development exists and lives at NDZ, this is also shown by the level of public participation reflected by our community members, who constantly remind us that people govern, as they engage us in informative debates for the betterment of their municipality and because of them we strive to improve every day.

I thank you.

We urge people to use these war rooms so they can have a chance to interact with the government department officials and use these war rooms as a platform to offload their problems so that a solution can be found.

It is without a doubt that the EPWP project contributes a lot for the people of Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma in social and economic aspects. The role of public employment initiatives, such as the expanded public works programme will be considered as one of the strategies to uplift the lives of our people.

GREETINGS to the people of Kokstad.

IDP road shows The new GKM council started its 2016 IDP road shows on 12 October. This important platform is for the community and stakeholders to put their needs across to council.

The IDP is an important document that is used to uphold the 1955 Freedom Charter, which said, among other things, “the people shall govern”.

Community priorities will influence the municipality’s 2017/2018 budgeting process. Government allows us to budget according to the needs of the people because the money that is used for service delivery belongs to the public.

We encourage people to attend these meetings not only as observers, but to make a positive contribution. Mayor Cllr Bheki Mtolo will be leading the municipal delegation that will visit all GKM wards. Make sure you pay attention to the media and a municipal vehicle will be going around with a loudspeaker to remind wards about the dates of the meeting.

Save water, save lives The people of Kokstad are once again, reminded to use water carefully because the drought is not over. We haven’t received enough rain to take us above the “red line” in terms of water shortage, and this challenge is a national concern.

We appeal to people to stick to water-saving tips that were issued by Harry Gwala District Municipality. Report water leaks to the municipality or your ward councillor. We also encourage people to continue harvesting rain water especially those who can afford to buy Jojo tanks, however, don’t forget to follow water purification methods before you drink tank water. Until we get sufficient rain this challenge will remain with us and we must be patient with Harry Gwala District Municipality’s water restrictions because it is done to help us.

As we know without water, there is no life.
