Where are our children?

NCEBA DLADLA

F

ROM May 31 to June 7 is Child Protection Week in South Africa. This is tied up with International Children’s Rights Day celebrated worldwide on Monday, June 1.

While South Africa and the rest of the world are highlighting children’s rights to life, protection, education, good health and enough resources, the phenomenon of children being lost for years without trace is becoming commonplace.

South African now celebrates Missing Children’s Day on May 25. This day brings sad memories to those who have lost their children in very difficult circumstances.

One of these families who are left with more questions than answers, is that of Zenixole “Nontinga” Solomon who went missing from her Makangiso Street, NU6 Motherwell, home on Sunday, August 28, 2011 and has not been seen since. She was only three years old at the time.

Zenixole was in the care of her mother Khanyiswa Solomon’s cousin, Xoliswa Mashiqana, 64, who took her into her care while Khanyiswa, who later died, was very sick.

Before Zenixole’s father (whose name is not

The phenomenon of children being lost for years without trace is becoming commonplace

known) died, he left money for the child’s upbringing.

“She told me of the money and said I could use it for the child’s upbringing and education. However she died before I could do so,” said Mashiqana, who thinks Zenixole’s being missing had a lot to do with the money.

She said a relative of Zenixole’s father who lived in Motherwell had once promised to take the child away from her in order to get her “brother’s money.”

Mashiqana told Express Indaba that she had since used the money and alleges that she was assisted in withdrawing the money by several High Court officials. These officials are currently fighting legal battles to protect their jobs since the matter had been reported to the police.

“I did not know that I was not supposed to use the money until the child was 21 years of age, especially since Khanyiswa herself suggested that I use it while she was still alive,” said Mashiqana.

She said she had thought there was nothing wrong, especially since the officials, who had asked that she “paid” them R20 000, had assisted her. She gave them R15 000.

“I used the money, I admit, but I swear I do not know where Zenixole is. I took care of the child from when she was only a few months old. I loved her as my own,” said Mashiqana, adding that she had been imprisoned for about a month as she was being investigated as a suspect in the child’s disappearance.

Charges were, however, withdrawn. She said she had been tormented with worry since the child’s disappearance.

Municipality builds drainage ponds to control stormwater

LIZEKA TANDWA EVER wondered what the busy construction at the corner of Buffelsfontein Road and 11th Avenue is?

The municipality says it is building drainage ponds to control stormwater from Lovemore Heights to Walmer, and it anticipates they will be completed around 2016, depending on funds.

Municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mniki, said more than R60million had been allocated over a period of two years for the stormwater drainage and all interrelated projects in the Walmer-Gqebera and main Walmer areas.

Mniki said the project was needed to overcome the challenge of

flooding.

“There will be a series of ponds which will retain and drain over two to three days.”

Mniki said the project would include another construction that would support and be part of the broader drainage ponds development.

The King Edward commonage would still be usable as it was still part of the driving range lease.

“We will plant trees – guidance will be given by our parks department.

Residents need to be aware that the park will still be accessible, but the ponds will be fenced owing to the water they will retain.”

The municipality said it had awarded the contract to Techni Civils, with the first phase near the airport already completed.

The municipality is building drainage ponds to control stormwater from Lovemore Heights to Walmer. In the background is Walmer Links.

The development also makes provision for an internal courtyard with parking, a grassed playing area, a crèche, refuse collection, a drying yard and ablution facilities.

state land.

The purpose of the Govan Mbeki Awards is also to promote and inculcate a culture of excellence in the human settlement sector in the delivery of quality human settlements and dignity for South Africans.

“I congratulate all the winners who will proceed to compete with other provinces at the national awards. We are still beaming with pride after our success in the national awards last year when some of our projects were recognised as a cut above the rest of the country,” Human Settlements MEC Helen Sauls-August said. – REPORTER

Bay churches reject xenophobia NCEBA DLADLA THE NELSON Mandela Bay region of the South African Council of Churches (SACC) voiced its opposition to xenophobia during a very successful Africa Day prayer meeting at St Stephen’s Anglican Church in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, on Sunday (May 24).

voice, on the day of the historic descending in Jerusalem of the enabling Holy Spirit, to different nations as recorded in the Christian Catholic calender to say “No to Xenophobia”.

“This prayer meeting was triggered by the recent xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals in Durban and Johannesburg.

“We felt the church could not be silent when people, made like us, in the image of God, were under attack from our family members and friends,” said Mandela Bay SACC Chapter deputy secretary, the Reverend Siyabulela Tshatshu of St Xavier’s Anglican Church.

He said their office had noticed that the majority of South Africans did not really know what it

was to be an African.

PE clerics Bishop Bethlehem Nopece, Bishop Andile Mbete, Bishop Lunga kaSiboto, the Reverend Dr Bulelwa Hans and the Reverend Hans spoke on the day.

African Community of African Nations in South Africa (Canisa) financial director, Romeo DansoOsori, also reflected on the topic.

It was broken down into three questions: why they were here in South Africa, how did they feel about the country’s reception and how could the church assist them?

Women and the youth also stood up to be counted to say no to xenophobia. Speaking for women, Dr Hans said South Africans should instead learn the skills and expertise of their foreign brothers and sisters.

Sheriffs up in arms over summons deliveries NELSON Mandela Bay sheriffs say they have

been dealt a heavy blow by the municipality, which is said to have appointed a Western Cape company to serve traffic summonses despite the local sheriffs being promised that they would be employed to do so.

The sheriffs found out about the contracting of the Western Cape company, TMT, in a report in PE Express two weeks ago on the plight of 27 summons deliverers, who work on commission and had not been receiving an income because of the two-year suspension in the delivery of traffic summonses.

In this report, municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mniki, said TMT would be appointed to deal with the delivery of summonses.

Sheriff Llewellyn Sharp, who spoke to PE Express as a representative of five sheriffs in the Uitenhage South, PE North, PE West, Despatch and PE South areas, said they had been surprised to learn from PE Express that the municipality had appointed 33 servers on

a six-month contract effective from June.

According to Sharp, they had countless meetings with the municipality’s chief financial officer, Trevor Harper, and safety and security boss, Shane Brown, who promised they would begin serving the backlog of summonses as well as warrants as early as December 14 before the holidays began.

Sharp said they had developed an extensive proposal for the municipality which included plans to generate millions in revenue for the metro through the collection of summonses, serve warrants to traffic offenders, incorporate the 27 summons deliverers already employed by the metro as deputy sheriffs and run a call centre to communicate with offenders.

“All these plans would have far-reaching benefits for the municipality. Our goal is to assist the municipality in collecting millions in uncollected fines. We believe if we can get involved, the metro will see the difference,” said Sharp.

According to the sheriff’s proposals, the money collected would be put into a trust ac-

Swift police action nets two robbery suspects NCEBA DLADLA A QUICK response by police resulted in the arrest of two suspects, aged 24 and 21 shortly after a business robbery in Sydenham last Friday (May 22).

Police spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, said the men had been arrested just five minutes after the robbery.

“It is alleged that about 9.15am four suspects entered a shop in Uitenhage Road, Sydenham, pretending to be customers,” Janse van Rensburg said. While they were being served, one pulled out a firearm and demanded cash.

She said the owner had been taken to the back of the shop and the suspects had escaped with an undisclosed amount of

cash in the direction of Kempston Road, Sydenham.

“Immediately thereafter,” she said, “the Mount Road police received a report about a suspicious person in Sydenham and when they followed up on this information, they found a suspect hiding inside the yard of a residence in the area.”

Police arrested a 24-year-old suspect and quickly circulated the description of the other suspects who were still at large.

Meanwhile, Mount Road Crime Prevention Unit members patrolling in the area had spotted a second suspect, 21, and arrested him, said Janse van Rensburg. The cash was also recovered by a security officer working in the area.

The suspects are expected to appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court soon.

count and transferred to the municipal accounts.

DA chief whip Gustav Rautenbach said the suspension of traffic summons deliveries for two years had resulted in losses of millions of rands for the municipality.

Rautenbach said that in the past summonses had been responsible for bringing in a minimum of R600 000 in a bad month, with the average being R1.2-million a month in traffic fines.

Sharp said they had been promised by Harper and Brown last year that they would make provision for the sheriff’s proposal in the next financial year’s budget and they would finance them until then.

“We are upset that this promise has not materialised. Because of this, the 27 summons deliverers who are now sitting without work are also losing out.”

Municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mniki, told PE Express in the previous report that the municipality had appointed 33 servers on a six-month contract effective from June. “At the time of the contract’s expiry, they will be incorporated where possible into

Sheriff Anthony Makwethu said the municipality was acting like a broken record.

“They initiated the interaction and the discussions were at an advanced stage last year.

They know we have the capabilities. We are tried and tested and we can work with servers.”

Rautenbach said the traffic department was dealing with huge inefficiencies. “One should seriously consider putting this department under administration. We need this department to get back on a good level because it’s going from bad to worse.”

He said he fully supported the sheriffs taking over summons deliveries if they employed the 27 servers that the municipality had left in the cold for the past two years.

“Through this project, sheriffs will generate enough income for the municipality to pay traffic officers and ensure a strong visibility on our roads because they will be paid overtime and back pay. What more can we ask for?” asked Sharp.

No comment had been received from the municipality at time of going to print.

Where are our children?

Police spokesperson, Captain Andre Beetge said“Zenixole’s case is still open for investigation.

“The police have done everything possible to locate the little child with no success. We have exhausted every avenue with regard to her family,” he said He said the police would appreciate any assistance from anybody who might know where the child is.

Provincial Social Development Department spokesperson, Gcobani Maswana, said his department would investigate the case to ascertain what had really transpired.

According to Missing Children South Africa’s recent statistics, a child is lost in South Africa every six hours, which makes 1 460 children missing per year.

Missing Children SA coordinator Nicky Rheeder said 670 cases of missing children had been reported this year alone.

Local couple are dogs’ best friends LIZEKA TANDWA A PASSION to improve the lives of animals in the poorer communities of Motherwell and Wells Estate has led a Bluewater Bay couple and their friend to join forces and start the Izinja (dogs) project.

The project was established in March last year by Janette and Brian Wood and their friend, Hazel Grey.

It seeks to establish in township residents a sense of responsibility for and pride in their animals.

“Our main focus is sterilisation, regular dipping and deworming, and assisting and advising on general health and shelter. By working hand-in-hand with the community, we believe the lives of the animals and their owners will

be uplifted,” Janette said.

From April to December last, a total of 106 sterilisations and 40 kennels were issued. She said their aim for this year was 120 sterilisations, at a cost of R30 000. “We have already managed to raise a third of the money required.”

Brian said, “Ideally, no dogs should be chained, but the reality is that many are. If owners insist on chaining their dogs, we provide a running chain, so the dog has more freedom.”

Another friend of the Woods, Penny Kruger, said that after seeing the dedication of Izinja to animal care, she and several other friends had decided to help by collecting old blankets and old kennels that Brian could repair and donate to people.

She said they were also collecting plastic ice-

cream containers which made water containers for dogs and used two-litre cooldrink bottles for the dip mixture given to the residents.

“This is a very demanding task and we are up to it, but we need sponsors to help with the sterilisation.

If we could get one’s co-operation or several people to donate to the cause, it would go a long way towards the care of these animals,” Brian said.

Newly edited isiXhosa books reflect hidden wisdom

Professor Jeff Opland (left) and Dr Pamela Maseko with the two volumes of isiXhosa poetry that have recently been launched.

PHOTO:NCEBA DLADLA

THE rich history of isiXhosa, a language of prose and poetry, is revealed in the books Isizwe esinembali - Xhosa history and poetry (1873-1888) by William Wellington Gqoba, edited by Jeff Opland, Wandile Kuse and Pamela Maseko, and Imbali Zamanyange (Historical Poems) by DLP Yali-Manisi, edited by Jeff Opland and Pamela Maseko.

The three scholars and linguists, Opland, Maseko and Kuse, through years of research, discovered the works of the two Eastern Cape academics and writers, Gqoba and Yali-Manisi, who were never given prominence as early contributors of literary writing in the most “marginalised” African language, IsiXhosa, according to Professor Opland.

“These writers wrote poetry that reflected on African thinking at the time, but because their

writing was in isiXhosa, it was never given prominence,” said Opland during the launch of the two books as part of a series at the GFI Gallery in Central, Port Elizabeth, last week.

He said there was no standardisation of any African language in South Africa and that was a disadvantage to future generations.

In fact, he said, all the indigenous languages in this country were being marginalised in favour of English, the lingua-franca.

Rhodes University’s Dr Maseko bemoaned the fact that she had been exposed only to English African writers like Ngungi wa Thiongo and the likes of Zakes Mda in her years of study and had missed out on the African writers who wrote in African languages because of the perception that Africans have no literature.

With this kind of setup, the professor said,

South Africans were missing out on the wisdom recorded for amaXhosa, by amaXhosa in isiXhosa.

This was the literature for the adults, unlike the one prescribed and meant for schoolchildren only, which many people would miss out on, said Opland, adding that some of the poems had been recorded in the early newspapers, like iZimvo zabaNtsundu, Izwi Labantu and iSigidimi for instance.

Published through the University of KwaZulu-Natal and Rhodes University, the two books and the upcoming edition by Uitenhage’s academic and theologian, Solilo, the volumes still reflect the language isiXhosa in its purity, but have some English translations and background notes to help non-Xhosa readers understand them. – NCEBA DLADLA

The show is presented by MTN, Umhlobo Wenene and SABC1.

Express Indaba is offering lucky readers 10 free tickets to watch the sensational ensemble sing its traditional and contemporary hymns and original compositions in a quality production that has won it many fans across the globe.

The group’s 19th album, entitled Back to the Cross, was recorded in Soweto in December last year. It was launched during Easter.

The presentation is in the form and style that is unique to the ensemble and is designed to keep the audience enthralled from beginning to end.

Reggae band Skank & the Roots live at the Music Kitchen INDABA REPORTER UITENHAGE reggae group Skank & the Roots will be bring authentic reggae music to the Music Kitchen on Saturday (May 30).

The show will start at 8pm.

The band, which is trying to raise funds for its first professional album, is known for getting people off their chairs and on to the dance floor with its signature roots sound, says lead singer Eric “Skank”.

Formed in the 90s by a diverse group of individuals who share the same interest and vision in music, Skank & the Roots is made up of Eric Skank Mooi (vocalist), Dumile Desmond Dabula (drummer), Marvin Williams (lead guitarist), Deon Manel (piano), Mkhangeli (MK) Mati-

wane (bass Guitar) and Peter Franklin Liberty (percussions).

Mooi never fails to ignite the audience with his explosive stage presence. His distinct wailing voice tone is at times reminiscent of the legendary Burning Spear or Joseph Hill of Culture.

Heavily influenced by Jamaican reggae from the 70s, Skank & the Roots have over the years developed a unique sound and a repertoire of original songs that have a distinctive South African flavour.

Skank will be opening the night with a few acoustic songs and then perform two sets with the Roots band featuring trumpeter Sakhi Mambukwe.

Admission of R60 per person will be payable at the door.

THE MTN Joyous Celebration, a leading multi-platinum-selling and award-winning gospel ensemble production, is coming to NMMU’s Indoor Sports Centre, Missionvale Campus, this Friday and Saturday (May 29 and 30).

“This year’s inspirational theme, ‘Back to the Cross’, explains our focus for the year, which is all about looking back to where everything started – the cross,” said the co-founder of the gospel group, Jabu Hlongwane.

He said the title was captured through the music - a presentation and celebration of old and familiar hymns that fans knew and had grown up with.

He said, however, that they had decided to deliver the music with a new feel but still have the “joyous injection” that fans had come to love and enjoy over the past 19 years.

Tickets are available at Computicket from R190.

Callies too strong for Showvillage CALLIES showed no remorse when they thwarted Showvillage United 3-1 in their Safa Nelson Mandela Bay SAB Regional League clash at the Motherwell NU 9 Stadium on Saturday.

Londt Park side skipper Shenniel Benn was a major catalyst in his side, troubling the Showvillage defenders.

For Callies’ first goal, Benn unleashed a thunderous shot past Showvillage goalkeeper Noyuyu Tshambo. Callies’ second goal was also scored by Benn, who was the man of the match.

Quwan Tupac Haywood came up with Callies’ third goal.

Showvillage’s second-half substitutions, Sivuyile Witbooi and Monwabisi Bless, nearly paid dividends. Witbooi was brought down in the box and referee Siyabulela Ngxabazi awarded a penalty to Showvillage. Bless scored from the spot, but it was too late to equalise.

Fairview Rovers shattered Lion City’s dreams of winning the prestige trophy when they beat them 1-0. Another surprise came for log leaders Young Ideas when they lost 2-0 Hotspurs at the Moredyke fields.

In an attempt to avoid relegation, Ikamva Movers managed to overcome Ghetto Stars 1-0 at Walmer High School. Royal Bucs, who are not at all worried about relegation, disappointed relegation candidates Camper United in their 1-1 draw. Camper were leading all the way, but

Bucs equalised in the referee’s optional time.

Madrid crowned Mofa Build It champions

SELBY MADIKANE DESPITE losing their last two league games, Young Madrid were crowned as Motherwell Football Association (Mofa) Build It Premier League champions at the Motherwell NU 9 Stadium on Sunday.

After 38 league outings, Madrid deservedly collected 78 points, while runners-up Subs have 66 points with three games in hand.

Madrid lost 3-1 to Liverpool and 2-0 to Highland Spurs in their last games of the season.

However, Madrid skipper Thembinkosi Figo Matwa stated that their success was attributed to dis-

cipline, determination and dedication.

Matwa said, “Our team showed earlier that we have the makings of champions. It was a long walk to victory. The previous games had a telling effect on our boys. I am very pleased to be the first captain of the club to lift the most prestige league trophy in my lifetime.”

Mofa deputy president Eric Mbenya commended Madrid for their achievement.

On Sunday, there was an air of resignation at the stadium among Nubs supporters when their side was handed a 2-1 defeat by United Comrades.

To the dismay of fans, Fairway Stars failed to honour their game against Professionals, who were awarded soft points.

It was a most enthralling final, with both schools giving a good account of themselves.

Walmer High are expected to raise the flag of Nelson Mandela Bay in the provincial finals on August 18.

Walmer High School coach Bulelani Fina said his boys were ready for a major event.

“The boys have done it once again. I know what is expected of us and we are more than ready. Last

year we could not make it, but we have done our homework.”

Idols took sweet revenge after Brothers overcame them 4-1 in the Peefa Amarok semi-finals last month.

It was a high-spirited game, with both sides determined to take the honours.

Idols registered their opening goal from a set-piece thanks to Luck Kala. Brothers came up strongly in search of an equaliser.

Following their hard work, Brothers pulled off

their equalising goal, courtesy of Mandilakhe Nxayeka. Brothers’ goal unsettled the Idols supporters, who thought their side had sealed the game.

After the fulltime score was 1-1, Idols super substitute Nkosinathi Mandela Mava bagged the goal that saw the Veeplaas lads taking the honours for the first time since they were established.

In the third playoffs, which appeared dull, Real Aces crashed 4-0 to Real Lions. Idols walked away with R2 500, a floating trophy and 22 silver medals, while Brothers settled for R1 500 and 22 silver medals. Lions received R1 000 and 22 bronze medals.
