Backyard dwellers counted T NCEBA DLADLA

HE plight of backyard shack dwellers is currently being addressed by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality which yesterday launched a project aimed at housing thousands of these homeless people.

A database of the possible recipients of this infrastructural development programme, which forms part of the municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP), is currently being compiled. The campaign was launched at a meeting held at the Babs Madlakane Community Hall, KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage yesterday under the theme: The New Beginning; a Better life. Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Zanoxolo Wayile and the Human Settlement Directorate officials informed the residents of its strategy and implementation plan which starts as early as the 23 October with the counting of backyard dwellers including households with overcrowding problems. Shack dwellers remain a huge challenge for the municipality. They live in poor conditions, experience waterborne sewerage systems which are overloaded and frequently experience blockages and surges. Another problem is that of people grabbing any land, which is not always suitable for habitation, to build shacks; the so called Ukundlova (tak-

ing by force). The mayor said they were coming back to the communities as a followup to the promise they made during the IDP Consultative meetings - to come back. “We are here to talk to you about new developments taking place in the country - and here in the metro,” said Cllr Wayile. Explaining, the mayor said those developments, which he referred to as a catalyst for economic development and job creation, are about infrastructural development plans which will cost government billions of rands. “Those strategic development initiatives will benefit municipalities through the building of sustainable human settlements. We know we have a backlog of 81 000 houses. But we are not just going to build houses. We’ll build integrated settlements with all the social amenities,” said mayor Wayile, adding that his municipality is a signatory to the Intergovernmental Forum with other spheres of government to ensure the success of this plan. Nelson Mandela Bay Human Settlements Director Simiselo Nogampula explained the processes leading to the appointment of fieldworkers on a stipend to assist the process of counting the beneficiaries. “We are working closely with Stats SA to ensure the credibility of the process. Please do assist with information when fieldworkers come. We don’t want anybody to be left behind,” said Nogampula, adding that they are hoping for a process that will be free from fraud and corruption.

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME IN THE BAY

There was great excitement last week when Nelson Mandela Bay hosted the Absa Premiership match between the Phefeni Glamour Boys Kaizer Chiefs and Bloemfontein Celtic. Soccer supporters pitched up in droves at the Port Elizabeth International Airport to welcome their teams. Among them were, from left, Ludwe Bomali, Themba Ntembi and Simphiwe Jama who left no­one in any doubt about which team they support. Unfortunately for them, a resilient Sewelele (Celtic) denied the unbeaten Amakhosi a sixth win in seven outings before a near capacity crowd in the 45 000 seater stadium. Full story on page 8.
