Girl’s childhood stinks } Boipelo Mere
“HIER is nog ’n wurm (here is another worm),” yelled the five-year-old Chanelle Bailey. She was playing on what looked like a makeshift stoep at her home in Homelite. The reality is that the stoep was damaged by the permanent sewage in her yard and the three other yards around her house. Her ill father, Robert Bailey, helplessly watches his daughter playing next to the sewage from a distance in the same yard. With blisters covering his mouth, he sadly tries to force a smile on the arrival of Express Northern Cape’s reporter. Robert Bailey does not even have enough strength to speak during the interview and has to call his outspoken wife, Sarah, to do the talking. He explains that his throat is too sore to speak long and he is afraid of hurting the blisters around his mouth. He had just arrived from a visit to the clinic for treatment of a continuous headache. The Bailey family plans on inviting the Sol Plaatje mayor, David Molusi, for supper inside their RDP house in Homelite after they have received their child support grant. Out of concern of the terrible smell of the sewage that has flooded at least four yards in Mackeral Street, the Express reporter asks why the family allows the child to play in the sewage. “What can we do? We cannot lock her in this smelly house. She is also already used to this smell. We have been living like this since even before she was born. She grew up in this sewage,” says Sarah in a concerned voice. According to the family, they moved into the house when their first-born child, who is now 20 years old, was still a baby. They love their house and neighbourhood; they even learned how to eat here despite the smell.
“But there are times, especially during summer, when we cannot bear it. “The municipality unblocks it today, then after two days it is blocked again. When we report the problem, they take weeks to come again,” said Sarah. “These living conditions are the cause of my illness. I get weaker by the day. The clinic cannot diagnose me and I also can’t afford to go to the doctor anymore. “Even though I will go to the doctor, I am aware that I will not get better as long as I still stay here,” the father says sadly. He further explains how useless his efforts of patching the yard with soil were. “Sister, you must see the ugly things that come out of this drain when it splashes sewage. We see

Veteran soldiers to get houses HUMAN Settlements minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, says her department will focus on building houses for military veterans next month. “The policy instrument for building houses for military veterans was approved in 2006 and not a single house stands to attest that we have a housing policy for military veterans. “This is a sad state of affairs and we need to correct that immediately,” said Sisulu. Speaking at the annual Govan Mbeki Awards at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on Thursday night, Sisulu called on the department to build 5 000 houses for military veterans in September. “It is a basic tribute they deserve and it is a responsibility we need to live up to,” she said. Government will oversee the building of 1,5 million homes and informal housing upgrades over the next five years. “This is a very tough
call, but we are up to it. Our departments and entities are reshaping, understanding that we are in the fifth gear,” said Sisulu. The Govan Mbeki Awards celebrate the achievements of people who served South Africa by ensuring its citizens live in security and comfort. Sisulu recognised the late community activist Patrick Magebhula for assisting the department in shaping its policies. “Today we honour him as an internationally recognised champion and pioneer of the empowerment of the poor and acknowledge his outstanding contribution. “We and his broader family of the Federation of Urban Poor and SDI (Shack/Slum Dwellers International) will have to double our collective effort to further his work to ensure that his life passion was not in vain,” said Sisulu. Magebhula died on 4 August this year. ) SAnews.gov.za.

Seminar held to honour women } Boipelo Mere AS part of the annual Women’s Month activities, the Women Empowerment Movement International (WEMI) in Kimberley held its eighth annual seminar with the topic Women stand together. The event was attended by more than 100 people and was made even more special with Christian praise and worship songs. Dimakatso Matlakala, who is the chairperson of a disabled persons group in the Northern Cape and a community development worker, said God made women so strong and important because women carry the future and Maria also carried Jesus. “Women are made to build, they are always ready to share and they are an inspiration,” said Matlakala. Matlakala said that she knew that God loved her and would always protect her and then she gave an account of her escape from certain death. “My own son nearly killed me and he confessed to a pastor that he had been sent to kill me. As a mother I have forgiven him and as a result I am encouraging women to pray,” said Matlakala. The other speaker, who turned 80 last year, was Jeannie Sediti. Sediti thanked the government for having set aside a month for women in South Africa to reflect on their life and purpose. “Let us stand together and pray for one another because

I believe that organisations like WEMI can help. “By looking around in our area we’ll be able to identify vulnerable children who have themselves turned into parents through circumstances beyond their control. They are mostly orphans who have to raise their siblings,” concluded Sediti.

Women must help a hungry nation } Boipelo Mere THE premier of the Northern Cape, Sylvia Lucas, has set her hope on women to fight hunger in the province. She urged women to play a role in bringing back the culture of planting fruit trees in their yards. She emphasised that by planting fruit and vegetables, they will reduce the number of hungry children, some of whom loiter in the streets. Lucas urged them to adopt the olden ways where a child could just pick some fruit to fill their stomach when they were hungry. “I remember that from my school days. I was never hungry when I arrived home from school. I would pick different kinds of fruits from our neighbours’ trees to fill my stomach on my way home from school. All the children would do that. “I can’t even remember when last I saw a fig tree in a yard. What happened to the fig trees,” asked the premier. Noting the shift in the changing economic situations, the premier noted that one of the significant changes noted is the increased participation of women in agriculture as their male counterparts migrate to other economic activities. Elaborating on the role of women as people who can indeed multi-task while at the same time taking care of the family while the men migrated, Lucas highlighted the importance of investing in women-headed agricultural projects to enhance the ability to provide food to the food-insecure communities and societies. She stressed the importance of developing the requisite policy environment in order to deal with the challenges that face women within the agricultural sector. These would be geared towards addressing the historical and patriarchal nature by which agriculture has been organised in order for the sector to give expression to the prominent role that is being played by women in the sector.
THE premier of the Northern Cape, Sylvia Lucas, sets her hope on women.

Photos: Boipelo Mere “Women make an important contribution to rural and agricultural economies in most of the developing countries. “Women in the rural context continue to manage complex households with the changing profile of our families and they also pursue multiple livelihood strategies which would include, among other things, agricultural food production, tending to animals or livestock, working for wages within the sector and other rural enterprises in order to care and maintain their families,” said Lucas. “Women play a critical role in the provision of food and there are two basic variants of household food production that find expression within sub-Saharan Africa. One is where women are responsible for the
production of all or most food crops. In this variant, food plots are considered women plots. In the second variant, men and women jointly cultivate staple food crops in fields controlled by male household heads. In this type of variant, men are responsible for food production while women specialise in food processing,” she reported. Lucas quoted how women want to be part of the second phase of the radical transformation of the society which will see them play a meaningful role within the agricultural sector. “We also need to strengthen our institutional capacity in order to give prominence to this role as a department, working together with organised agriculture, both commercial and small-holder farmers. It is
for this reason that we need to ensure a greater role for the Women in Agriculture and Rural Development (Ward) initiative and the Youth in Agriculture and Rural Development (Yard) programme. We will resuscitate these initiatives to ensure that women and young people play a prominent role within the sector.” According to the premier, government needs to transcend the barriers which put women only as suppliers of labour within the agricultural sector, but also to develop them into active contributors to the sector. That, she said, needs to be made possible by the Department of Agriculture in conjunction with the National Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) by investing more in women farmers to ensure food security within the Northern Cape. “As part of our sustainable agrarian reform programme we seek to improve access to affordable and diverse foods. This we do through the provision of production inputs to different community projects, school food gardens and institutional food gardens. “This seeks to ensure improved yields of crops for greater food security,” she said.
Project aimed at instilling healthy habits Ilse Watson LIFEBUOY recently focused on improving the health and habits of the learners of the Bankhara-Bodulong Primary School. The project was launched at school last month and the result was a dramatic increase in good health practices among primary school learners. The brand visited 162 schools nationally and reached more than 100 000 learners with a project encouraging them to adopt a handwashing habit within 21 days. The campaign focused on children aged between six and 12 years old. William van der Westhuizen, brand manager, said: “The project reached not only the learners but also their families and friends.” According to the World Health
Organisation (WHO), diarrhoea and pneumonia combined are responsible for the deaths of millions of children under the age of five every year. The majority of these deaths are linked to poor hygiene and a lack of access to sanitation, but research has proven that the simple habit of washing hands with soap can reduce this figure by almost half. Lebogang Malgas, the principal of the Bankhara-Bodulong Primary School, said the campaign had taught the gr. Rs the effectiveness of washing their hands. The school was awarded a prize and chose a computer and printer. “The computer and printer will make a difference at our school. This will enable learners to have access to technology and the learners will also have the opportunity to work on the computers for longer,” said Malgas.

Funds will not be nationalised GOVERNMENT once again reassured South Africans that it has no plans to nationalise people’s hard-earned pension funds. “There is no intention on the side of government to nationalise (pension funds). What we seek to do, is to develop a culture of saving amongst South Africans. “All these tax reforms that were introduced last year and are coming into effect, are aimed at ensuring that we create better savings for the people of our country,” said Jeff Radebe, the minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation. Radebe briefed the media after cabinet had held its fortnightly meeting where they noted the misinformation about the various reforms regarding retirement funds (pension and provident funds). “There is anecdotal evidence that some workers are resigning from work in fear that government will from next year prevent them from withdrawing their retirement savings when they change jobs, and that government wants to take over retirement funds,” said Radebe. Ismail Momoniat, the deputy directorgeneral for Tax and Financial Sector Policy in the National Treasury, said Treasury had been in talks with certain pension funds. “We have been talking to certain pension funds like the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF). We’ve seen a slight rise (in resignations) but it does take a while; there’s a lag before they get information. “If somebody resigns today, in terms of the GEPF it may take up to two or three months before the GEPF gets that information and starts executing the instruction,” Momoniat said. National Treasury has been getting a
lot of queries regarding the reforms. “We’ve also talked to industry and employers. A lot of the pressure is linked to levels of indebtedness. We want to take action before people cash in their pension funds. “What people are doing is that they’re resigning from their jobs and it also means there’s no assurance that they’re going to get their job back. This is a risky action to take. The risk is also one of unemployment,” said Momoniat. Radebe said that while government wanted to encourage workers to preserve their savings until retirement, no laws had changed to stop withdrawal when workers changed jobs. The various retirement reform proposals seek to: ) Encourage individuals to provide adequately for their own retirement and the needs of their dependants and to provide for retirement funding as part of the remuneration contract. ) Make retirement funding arrangements cost-efficient, prudently managed, transparent and fair. ) Improve standards of fund governance, including trustee knowledge and conduct; protection of members’ interest, accountability and disclosure of material information to members and contributors. “Cabinet wants to assure the public that people’s retirement savings remain safe. “There is no reason for any worker – both in the private and public sector – to resign so as to access their retirement savings. “It should also be noted that those cashing out their pension or provident funds before retirement will not only get less money than they would had they preserved, but they may be taxed on early withdrawals and no longer enjoy the tax advantages,” said Radebe. – SAnews.gov.za

Passports scrapped THE Department of Home Affairs has announced that it will discontinue the issuing of temporary passports as from 1 September this year. A temporary passport was initially issued as an interim travel document due to longer turn-around times taken to issue a permanent tourist passport valid for ten years. This turn-around time has improved drastically, rendering the issuing of a temporary passport redundant. “The turn-around time for a passport applied for on our Live Capture system takes 13 days, while that applied for using the manual system is issued within 24 days. “Emergency travel certificates are issued on the same day in consideration of the nature of circumstances presented as an emergency need,” says the departmental spokesperson, Mayihlome Tshwete. The department has noted that South Africans travelling abroad and to neighbouring countries are refused entry when travelling on temporary passports. This, according to Tshwete, has resulted in accusations and claims against the department in cases where citizens are refused entry into a particular country despite being in possession of a temporary passport. Tshwete says that only an emergency travel certificate (ETC) will be issued to an applicant under circumstances of emergency travel purposes such as when a passport is
lost while abroad and travelling to countries that accept ETCs for purposes of assisting family members in distress or if a family member is deceased. According to Home Affairs, one must have a South African Identity Document (ID) when applying for a passport. Zimbabwean dispensation special permit Recently, the department announced the new Zimbabwean Dispensation Special Permit (ZSP). According to the department, this would allow permit holders who wished to remain in South Africa after their permits had expired to re-apply for the ZSP, subject to certain conditions. At the time, the Home Affairs minister, Malusi Gigaba, said the conditions included a valid Zimbabwean passport, evidence of an employment permit, a business or accredited study and a clear criminal record. “Therefore, if you hold a permit that expires before 31 December this year, the expiry of that permit being delayed until 31 December, we are extending it, and those that expire after that will be brought forward to 31 December, which is the date for termination for all ZDPs,” said Gigaba. So far, about 245 000 of the 295 000 applicants were issued with the new permits since its inception in 2009. – SAnews.gov.za

ANCYL geared for the future } Boipelo Mere BONGIWE MBINQO-GIGABA, the provincial chairperson of the Youth League of the African National Congress (ANCYL), believes that the women of South Africa should at all times be acknowledged for their resilience during the struggle because they were the only section of the oppressed population who had to endure the triple yoke of oppression: gender, class and race. She spoke after the Northern Cape’s first Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) meeting in the //Khara Hais Municipality after the eighth provincial congress in July. “The resilient spirit of the women who marched in 1956 was part of concerted efforts which culminated in the ultimate liberation of the people of this country,” said Mbinqo-Gigaba. The PEC vehemently condemned the bombardment of the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces. It stated that the humanitarian crisis could not be left to the people of Palestine alone to solve, and that the PEC joined the international community in pledging its solidarity with the people of Palestine. “We call upon our government to ban all Israeli imports into South Africa. This will send a message that South Africans are not willing to fund wars camouflaged as protection of the sovereignty of certain nations.” The PEC said the call for economic freedom in this lifetime remained a resolution of the 24th National Congress of the ANCYL and had to be pursued with the necessary discipline. The PEC added that the call for economic freedom could only be achieved if members and leaders of the ANCYL internalised and centralised the importance of education amongst the young. The PEC maintained that education had to be made “fashionable” in order to achieve economic emancipation in South Africa and said it was wrong that a small elite group in society was the only stratum to enjoy the economic benefits of political freedom. Reaffirming that unity remained sacrosanct in the ANCYL, the PEC noted that a sufficient amount of energy should be channelled towards unification in all regions of the province after their eighth provincial congress in Colesberg. According to the PEC, it reflected on two imminent political processes, the Provincial General Council (PGC) of the ANC and the 25th National Congress of the ANCYL. “The PGC of the ANC serves as a political school of the ANC and also an elective council for vacancies that may exist in the ANC PEC. The PEC is of the view that Shadrack Tlhaole and Zet Kwinana are ready to lead in the PEC of the ANC and, therefore, should be given an opportunity through either co-option or election into the ANC PEC.” The ANCYL PEC reiterated the pronouncement to support the names of Magasela Mzobe and Mawethu Rune for the position of president and secretary general of the ANCYL, reflected on the upcoming 25th National Congress of the ANCYL. “The support for these names is measured by the high levels of discipline and commitment that these two comrades displayed and are still continuing to display during the process of rebuilding structures of the

ANCYL in the country.” Cognisant of the fact that the local government elections are due in 17 months, the PEC acknowledged the mammoth task that lay ahead and added that it was positioning itself through a comprehensive programme of action to rally the youth behind that banner and vision of the ANC as a champion to create a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society. “The ANCYL is dismayed and disgusted by the attempted sabotage by a group of disgruntled ‘activists’ who masqueraded as service delivery protesters whilst infringing on the right of education of black children. “The situation in the Joe Morolong sub-region where all schools are closed cannot be left unattended. The PEC resolved to have speedy intervention in the form of a pragmatic programme with the Progressive Youth Alliance. “We call on the learners of the Joe Morolong sub-region to emulate the 1976 generation by defying and fighting against these attempts of sabotage by these so-called activists.” According to the PEC, it welcomed struggle veteran Zwelidinga Pallo Jordan’s resignation as a member of parliament. “Pallo remains our leader, teacher and mentor regardless of his mistakes. “Nothing can replace the contribution he made in our fight against apartheid. His name shall remain in the history books of our movement as one of the most esteemed and fierce fighters for South Africa’s liberation. “The PEC urges the ANC to persuade Jordan to remain in the ranks of the movement and continue to make valuable contributions towards the attainment of the national democratic society. The ANC remains his home. “We urge him not to withdraw his ANC membership and he must still continue to play a role in the South African politics as we regard him as an organic intellectual.” Extending its condolences to the Gopane family who tragically suffered the loss of four people who died because of gas inhala-
tion, the ANCYL vowed to remain a political school for the training and education of young people to become revolutionary democrats and continue to fight for fundamental transformation in favour of young people. The leadership collective will embark on the Regional Assessment Programme to monitor the state of the organisation in all regions. In line with the Constitution, the ANCYL deployed its leaders to various regions and sub-committees to ensure its presence in every region to do political work and attend to problems needing PEC intervention and service structures on an on-going basis. The PEC considered and finalised the deployment of PEC members to regions and the elected convenors of the PEC to regions

Community fed up with gangs at Club 2000 } Boipelo Mere THE community of Club 2000 are outraged about the gangsterism activities that happen in their area. That is after a weekend of terror by groups of gangs that nested at the Club 2000 park. After a community meeting that angry community members and parents attended, there is a follow-up meeting scheduled for tomorrow where a crime watch forum will be formed. Members of the police are also expected to attend the meeting. According to the Ward 31 councillor, Moses Nhlapo, the forum will only consist of men this time. He encouraged men to stand up and deal with this issue in an effort to protect their women and
children. He revealed that a similar forum that was launched in 2009, which mostly consisted of brave women, failed due to safety concerns. “As you know, women have many responsibilities. There were concerns of them leaving their children alone while on patrol and the husbands complaining,” said Nhlapo. “These boys are making our lives a living hell. We have to deal with them men to men, because they think they are men. “No one feels safe in Club 2000 anymore. The township has returned to being notorious for gangsterism as before.” During the meeting it was revealed that these gangs are not only youths from Club 2000; they are reportedly from all over

Modise thrilled to be in team } Sidwell Guduka TSHIAMO MODISE says he is thrilled to have earned a place in the 2014 Nedbank Ke Yona team. The 18-man squad, who will play against the Nedbank Cup winners, Orlando Pirates, was announced at a press conference in Johannesburg last Friday. “Being part of the team to play against Pirates is a privilege in its own, it is a great achievement for me at my age. “To come through a nationwide competition where only a few are chosen, is remarkable and something for me to be very proud of. I feel like a winner just to have been chosen for this stage and every step is a bigger achievement,” says Modise. The 19-year-old, who is currently studying Accounting at the Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State, was one of 43 000 entrants for the competition this year. “My dream is to make the starting XI for the match against Pirates. If I can achieve this, then maybe I can become a professional player in the PSL and hopefully make a career from football. “But I’m not thinking about that yet. I just focus on my next goal, which is to do well in training ahead of the big match.” Just like any aspiring footballer, Modise wishes to one day play football professionally overseas. “You don’t want to limit yourself by staying in one place for a long time, because the desire to achieve will eventually leave you if you are not progressing. You become comfortable in your surroundings. “So, I want to experience other cultures, other ways of life and experience the world for what it is.” The Nedbank Ke Yona team will be coached by Shakes Mashaba, Khabo Zondo, Owen Da Gama and Mike Mangena. The match is scheduled for 7 September. The full squad: ) Goalkeepers: Luthando Sixhaso (Western Cape) and Thabani Mpanza (Gauteng). ) Defenders: Surprise Mawela (Limpopo), Japhta Phokela (Limpopo), Sphamandla Mkhize (KwaZulu-Natal), Tshiamo Modise (Free State) and Morgan van Rooyen (Gauteng). ) Midfielders: Khanya Gwala (Gauteng), Maphosa Modiba (Limpopo), Tsepo Dladla (KwaZuluNatal), Sandile Kubeka (KwaZulu-Natal), Samuel Masina (Gauteng), Siyabulela Timbela (Gauteng), Teboho Lillane (Gauteng) and Jacob Ntema (Free State). ) Strikers: Katlego Piana (Gauteng), Mahlatse Mogale (Limpopo) and Sydney Masana (Western Cape).
