MUNICIPALITY PLANS TO EXPROPRIATE LAND FROM TWO HOMEOWNERS IN MIDDLE OF SQUARE DEVELOPMENT

Njoli owners kicked out REPORTER

T

HE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is planning to expropriate land, as a matter of urgency, from two property owners whose refusal to sell their property has stalled the R286 million Njoli Square Redevelopment for years.

In a media statement the municipality said it has been dealing with a long and drawn out stalemate to acquire the land since 2008 during its land acquisition negotiations with the land owners in the Njoli area.

The municipality said the proposed development affects 75 private properties and only two of those owners, namely Dr Bongani Nqini and Ms Mose, have refused the sale.

Mayoral Spokesperson Kupido Baron said during a sitting of the full council last week, recommendations were approved that the City Manager, Mpilo Mbambisa, establish a

team of officials to facilitate the expropriation of erven 3024 and 4353 as a matter of urgency to conclude the land acquisition process that started as far back as 2008.

When approached for comment yesterday

by Express Indaba, both Mose and Nqini were not available for comment.

A neighbour of both Mose and Nqina who wanted to remain anonymous said Mose wanted more money than the municipality had offered.

“She wanted more because she isn’t the one who wants to move. They want her land so she wants them to pay more than the offer.”

In an earlier interview with Express Indaba Doctor Nqini, who owns a surgery in the middle of Njoli Square said he had no intention of leaving. Development has taken place around his surgery.

Nqini, is a well-respected doctor in the area, consulting in over 200 cases daily according to him.

Baron said, contrary to human rights abuses and dispossession during expropriation prior to 1994 by the Apartheid government, “current day expropriation means the payment of market related prices determined by an independent valuer allowing the land owners to benefit appropriately from the transaction”.

Baron said the team approved by council was already intensively involved in the project that will change the face of Kwazakhele for the better and act as a catalyst for further investment in the area.

Baron said when completed the project will include: )A civic centre, supported by public transport and formal and informal commercial facilities will be established in the heart of one of the oldest suburbs in Port Elizabeth.

Community facilities and municipal functions will be accessible in the heart of the township. One of the key components of the development is a state-of-the-art library and

Cebelihle High parents lock teachers, learners out NCEBA DLADLA ANGRY parents of Cebelihle High School in Kwazakhele, Port Elizabeth locked teachers and the learners out of the school on Thursday 26 February demanding an urgent response from the Department of Education to their complaints.

According to the parents, their children’s education was being compromised owing to a shortage of teachers and furniture at the school.

Parents also complained that the school principal was not there to lead the school.

“More than 500 learners struggle to get proper education because of the shortage of three teachers at the school,” said Busisiwe Mbewu, a parent, adding that the affected classes were Grades 12, 11 and 8.

Parents also feared that the school’s matric results, that were already down to 55% in 2014 from the 70% of the previous year, would be adversely affected.

The school, that was built in 2007 after platooning since 1995, was without adequate furniture and learners were taught while standing.

“Learners have to kneel down when writing. How will they succeed in their education in a situation like that?” asked Mbewu.

Parents accuse the department of poor plan-

For a new school, parents said they wanted new furniture. They believe that a new school should have new furniture.

“Our children are now fighting each other about furniture. From time to time we are called to school to stop children fighting for desks. Some even carry knives to school,”

said Gladman Mbelekane.

The parents said the school’s principal Thobile Ntola, who is the expelled Sadtu president, was last seen at the school in 2006.

“Since he is no longer Sadtu president, we’ve been told he was supposed to have reported at the school in February 2015 but has not done so. The school’s deputy principal, Mrs Skosana, is holding the fort, without being paid for it. We want Ntola to resign and Skosana to take the position officially. She is

the one taking care of our children’s interests,” said School Governing Body (SGB) member Nomlindo Ndwanya, adding that they had written many letters of complaint to the Department of Education without success.

“We are giving the department seven days to respond. If there was no satisfactory answer by March 5, we’ll close the school, said the parents.

Provincial Education spokesperson Mali Mtima said his department was aware of the shortage of furniture in many of the province’s schools.

He said, “The national Department of Basic Education and the provincial Department of Education have a partnership to offset the current backlog in school furniture. It is in phases. We’ll ultimately come to Cebelihle High and sort out their problem.” said Mtima.

Mtima said for all the seconded educators who had to work as shopstewards at provincial and national level, an opportunity was created for someone to act in their position.

“MEC for Education, Honourable Mandla Makupula has, however, issued an instruction to deal with all the deseconded officials of the department as part of an agreement signed with social partners - to report for duty in their respective schools in March 2015,” said Mtima.

VM Kwinana honours MK soldiers THAMSANQA MBOVANE PEOPLE from all walks of life – from VIPs to teachers, elderly people to MK soldiers – were at the opening of VM Kwinana Senior Secondary School in KwaNobuhle.

Hundreds of people, most of whom were clad in traditional gear, braved the rain to attend the official opening on Friday, February 27.

Dignitaries from government, tertiary institutions, VM Kwinana family and principals, teachers from various schools across KwaNobuhle attended.

Prof. Mzobanzi Mboya, father of ac-

tor and celebrity Hlubi Mboya, was the guest speaker.

He said schools needed to start having evening classes and spend extra time on studying.

“We must use time effectively and not waste it. We must invest in education for it is the key to our future.

Take for instance a country such as Japan. They don’t waste time in that country. They have no minerals, but they are amongst the top industrial countries in the world! That is education.”

He also proposed the establishment of a V M Kwinana Foundation.

“I do not want to prescribe to people to form a foundation, but if it

were possible, I would give out R10 000 towards it.”

Principal Mawonga Blou said: “We have never heard cases of break- ins at this school, or attempts at breakins. The community is watching this school by itself 24 hours a day! Our school has 950 learners, and was built with a budget of R43 million and has 35 classrooms. It was occupied in 2012, after we were platooning at Majombozi Street in a prefab building.”

“We don’t allow hair styles here and we work hand in hand with parents to make sure that our code of conduct is adhered to. When there are challenges, we always overcome them.”

SAPS and CPF partner in Operation Fundisa at schools NCEBA DLADLA KWANOBUHLE members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in conjunction with the Community Police Forum (CPF) had a successful Operation Fundisa at high schools in the township last week.

Aimed at addressing the dangers of drug and liquor abuse, the police and the CPF members had already arrived at Tinarha High School in Kwanobuhle at 7.45am – only to find a handful of learners on the school premises, said police spokesperson Sergeant Majola Nkohli.

He said they were disappointed as they wanted to close Operation Fundisa Campaign on high note.

“The aim of the campaign was two-fold.

It had a theme of discouraging late-coming as well as educating learners about the dangers of experimenting with drugs and liquor,” said Nkohli, adding that drug and li-

quor abuse was still a huge problem facing KwaNobuhle high schools.

CPF Treasurer, Siphokazi Tyatya, who is also a student at Eastcape Midlands College, gave a motivational talk to learners and expressed her disappointment over learners arriving late at school and in the process missing out on teaching.

Visible Policing Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Goeda, delivered a speech that would be remembered with a catch-line, “Yes, we can!”

Lt Col Goeda drove home a message on the dangers of drugs. He also cited the challenge of liquor abuse, as this was one of the reasons rape victims could not easily give account of the incidents when they wanted to report cases.

A Grade 12 learner, Siliziwe Matata, became a star of the campaign when she recapiculated, and thanked visitors proficiently in English, which is her second language.

First phase of oil tank farm could be completed by 2018 METRO MINUTES IF construction of the new tank farm by Oiltanking Grindrod Calulo (OTGC) starts this year, the first phase should be completed by 2018.

Engineering News reports Grindrod CEO, Alan Olivier, as saying the project had been delayed “Owing to the fact that the tariff mod-

el of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) did not work for projects requiring new capital outlay.”

He said there were “New tariff regulations in the works for May this year, which should allow for the construction of this facility.”

The new 230 000 cubic metre facility will cost R2.9 billion “And will be used for the storage of all petroleum products with the exception of crude oil and liquefied natural

gas.”

Olivier said land was available to expand the facility to 700 000 cubic metres if required.

Construction of the new facility will pave the way for the eventual decommissioning of the existing one in the Port Elizabeth Harbour.

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is underway for the decommissioning of the existing facility. The Coega Develop-

ment Corporation has issued a request for proposals for the supply, installation and commissioning of the technical security infrastructure in support of the Customs Controlled area (CCA) in the IDZ. The CDC has also issued a request for proposals for the roll out of core customs and logistics solutions in support of the CCA that is “currently in the process of establishment.”

Minor in place of safety after rape claim NCEBA DLADLA A 14 year-old girl from KwaNobuhle is being kept in a place of safety after she was allegedly raped by her brother-in-law (40).

The Grade 8 learner is said to be fourmonths pregnant after her older sister’s husband allegedly raped her on several occasions.

“According to the girl, the man would do this when her unemployed elder sister, who suffers from epilepsy and a stress disorder was asleep,” said a concerned neigh-

bour.

According to the neighbour, they saw the girl’s tummy rising and suspected that she was pregnant. They, as elderly women, became concerned and asked the child about it, “She first told a lie about a certain boy whose name and address she did not know,” said the neighbour, “She, however, later confessed to us and in the presence of Phaphani Rape Crisis officials said that it was her brother-in-law (ngubhuti) that did this to her, adding that she was told not to tell anyone about it.

According to the girl, he would wake her up in the middle of the night and take her to the kitchen where he would rape her.

This happened on more than one occasion. She said she told ubhuti each time, that what he was doing was wrong, but he would not stop.

When neighbours alerted the man’s wife about her sister’s allegations, she would not listen.

The woman instead became angry with the neighbours and accused them of trying to cause friction in her marriage.

The neighbour said the last straw was

when they heard that the girl was asked by her sister to terminate the pregnancy through illegal means.

“The girl was forced to drink Stameta but unfortunately it was too late to abort the baby,” the concerned neighbour said, adding that they decided to report the matter to the police.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Majola Nkohli, confirmed that a case of rape involving a minor has been opened for investigation.

No arrest has, however, been made as they are still investigating.

Funeral for Saba Mbixane at Mandileni on Sunday NCEBA DLADLA THE late Umhlobo Wenene FM presenter and multiple-award winner Saba Mbixane (54) will be laid to rest at his Mandileni home in Mount Frere this Sunday, March 8.

Mbixane, who made the SATMA Awards his own since winning The Best Traditional Radio Award for Best DJ and Best Radio Programme (for Lavuth’ibhayi) in 2008, died last week in the Nelson Mandela Academic hospital.

Station Manager Phumzile Mnci stated how deep the loss was with the demise of the man popularly known as “Zaw Zaw” or “DJ Manapkin” among other aliases on the airwaves.

Messages of condolence from politicians, chiefs, the clergy and ordinary men and women have been pouring in.

Mbixane was a practising farmer. The MEC for Rural Development and Agrarian Reform Mlibo Qoboshiyane said, “Saba’s unexpected death has robbed us of a skilled, committed broadcaster, who played an important role in encouraging people of this country to take agriculture seriously and who proved to many that there was a bright future in agriculture.”

Armed with a National Diploma in Agriculture from Tsolo College, Mbixane auditioned to be a presenter for an Agricultural Programme at the then Radio Transkei in 1984 and officially joined that station in 1985 where he would prove his versatility behind the mic.

When Radio Transkei merged with radio Xhosa, Mbixane joined and shone in a number of diverse programmes that included the Breakfast Show.

The South African Communist Party in the Eastern Cape joined millions of South African in sending heartfelt condolences to the Mbixane family, Umhlobo Wenene FM, SABC and the people of South Africa.

“Saba Mbixane played an ernomous role in uplifting cultural performances and social cohesion,” said SACP EC, in a statement.

Victoria Park High and was a prominent member of Masifunde’s Drama and Youth Choir Group. Fina will be assisting with the organising and running of the programmes, while improving her script writing and production skills When asked how she felt about being selected, Fina answered, “I’m so amazed because I never thought I’d stand a chance, even though I know I have so much to offer. I am so excited and a bit nervous because I will be going into a new world. All I want to do is help out and challenge myself so I will learn more and grow into a better person. I believe I am ready for all that will be thrown at me. It won’t be easy but I’m ready.”

Billy believes this opportunity is one of the greatest platforms he has ever been given, “I feel blessed and excited yet nervous because there’s a lot of responsibility. I want to work hard and represent where I come from. This adventure came at the right time. I am so grateful for what Masifunde and weltwärts has done for me and also my family for their support.”

“It’s a huge success that they have been chosen as most of the other applicants (more than 50) are older and much more experienced,” said Laura Klapper, sponsorship administrator, at Masifunde Learner Development.

Billy will work in Bonn at Lebenshilfe e.V., a home for disabled people and stay in his own apartment on the premises. He will support them with their day-to-day activities such as grocery shopping, cooking and general assistance. Billy volunteered at the Cheshire Home in Summerstrand last year, in order to prepare himself for his duties at Lebenshilfe. He will also be taking his supporters through his life changing journey on his blog, “Life in Bonn- Restoring the quality of living”, on www.betterplace.org.

Fina will live in Oldenburg and work at Jugendkulturarbeit Oldenburg e.V., a youth development organisation and share a flat with other volunteers from countries across Europe. Jugendkulturarbeit runs Drama and Music programmes in schools, which complements Fina’s love for the performing arts. She took Drama and Music as school subjects at

BWA bursary boost for business-focused Banele REPORTER THOUGH she chose maths and science as her high school subjects, Transkei-born Banele Ndarala soon knew that was not the field for her, and she was destined instead to become “something big in business one day”.

Ndarala, 22, completed her diploma in Human Resource Management at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) last year, and was mentally preparing herself to join the job market, when a long-term dream came true.

She received a R15 000 Businesswomen’s Association (BWA) bursary, which has enabled her to register for an additional year of study, which will effectively convert her diploma to a BTech degree.

“If it hadn’t been for the BWA bursary, I wouldn’t have been able to register this year,” she said.

“It was so important for me to get a degree qualification. It will mean that I am not limited

to entry-level positions when I enter the job market… This bursary means I am able to advance my qualification – to take a step forward – allowing me to be closer to what I want to be.”

Though she is not the first in her family to pursue tertiary studies, she will be the first to attain a degree.

Looking to the future, she hopes to pursue further postgraduate courses in Business Administration. “I definitely see myself in the corporate world – that’s where I’ll be able to flourish.”

Ndarala said her “secret to success” was inspired by a speech NMMU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Derrick Swartz had given, when she was in first year. “He said in order to make it in your studies, you have to align yourself with smart people. If I align myself with likeminded people, who have the same drive to do what I’m doing, it motivates me and this becomes my driving force.”

She said another significant factor in her journey to success had been her awareness of

the sacrifices others had made for her, not least her mother Nondumiso Ndarala, a Magistrate’s Court clerk, who had contributed towards her financial needs. “So many people have been involved in my success.”

And now BWA is one of them. Michelle Brown, who chairs BWA’s Port Elizabeth branch, said, “We are very proud of our latest bursary recipient, Banele. Not only did she obtain a number of distinctions in her undergraduate studies, but she also fulfilled various leadership roles.

“As Prof Swartz said: ‘Align with likeminded people’ – and we trust that Banele feels this way about BWA! She is determined to succeed – and we are looking forward to watching her grow into a great South African businesswoman,” she said.

The Businesswomen’s Association (BWA) awards bursaries to deserving postgraduate students pursuing business-related studies, across South Africa. For more information, go to: www.bwasa.co.za/burseries.

Cycling SA, Siyanqoba give M’well Cycling Club wheels SELBY MADIKANE MOTHERWELL Community Cycling Club struck gold when Cycling South Africa and Siyanqoba Sports Development Club handed 10 bicycles with helmets over to them during a glittering function in Motherwell NU 30 Community Hall last Thursday.

Speaking during the handover, Cycling SA President William Newman said the reason they made such a generous donation to Motherwell Community Cycling Club was that the club members were so enthusiastic about cycling but had no means to procure bicycles.

“I am extremely delighted to note that cycling is regarded as one of the most popular sporting codes,” said Newman.

“We decided to come to the rescue of Motherwell Community Cycling Club because this is a club of the people with no financial means. And the cyclists of this club take cycling seriously. I want to commend the Nelson Mandela Bay Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture for their efforts in supporting this club.”

Siyanqoba Sports Development Club President Yster Xatasi said that cycling keeps people fit and healthy.

Xatasi said, “Since this club comprises mainly learners, we knew that it was going to be impossible for all of them to buy a bicycle. We therefore decided to join hands with Cycling SA to lend a helping hand to the Motherwell Community Cycling Club.”

Motherwell Community Cycling Club spokesperson Xolisa Konza thanked Cycling SA , DSRAC and Siyanqoba Sports Development Club.

Konza appealed to community members who would like to join his club, to bring along their bicycles.

Madibaz netballers aim to extend winning run THE Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s netball team is aiming at an unprecedented seventh title in a row in the first SPAR NMMU netball tournament of the season on March 7.

The tournament, taking place on NMMU’s Second Avenue Campus in Summerstrand, will see more than 50 teams from various local and provincial clubs competing across six pools – including a men’s division.

Although the SPAR Madibaz outfit have dominated the tournament since its inception in 2009, netball manager Theresa le Roux said Framesby Netball Club had excelled in last year’s competition and could deliver a surprise.

She was however confident that it would be one of the NMMU teams that would claim victory in the competitive A-section.

“Our first team dominated Pool A last year and the university’s other teams have also won several of the other pools. We are fortunate enough to have most of the top players in the province in our A and A-reserve teams.”

Le Roux said the university was able to call on the services of players

such as SPAR Proteas stars Zanele Mdodana and Zanele Vimbela, who are both fresh from the national training camp.

In addition to the more experienced players, the Madibaz will be showcasing fresh talent this year, she said.

“Our NMMU student team is full of youngsters and this will be a good start for them as they prepare for the tough Ussa and Varsity Netball competitions later this year.”

Besides the plethora of women’s teams taking part, six men’s teams are also included in the line-up, the most ever.

“The rules for the men are exactly the same as for the women,” said Le Roux.

Apart from local clubs like Framesby and Parks that have signed up to challenge the Madibaz men, there are several out-of-town teams in the field.

“We have entries from the University of Fort Hare and Aliwal North,” said Le Roux.

She said the tournament would be a good opportunity for coaches to assess their teams ahead of the big competitions of the season.

Success for Kuyga Development boxing NCEBA DLADLA FORMER Nelson Mandela Bay professional boxers are working hard to revive boxing in the metro.

This became evident when Sipho Nogampula’s Team Nompumelelo of KwaNobuhle held a boxing tournament at the Kuyga Community Hall featuring interesting bouts from male and female boxers - some weighing as little as 19 kg.

“The area of Kuyga is used to boxing. We brought the sport here because the idea was to take boxing to all parts of the metro municipality,” said Nogampula, thanking Municipal Ward 40 Councillor Thozamile Qushani for supporting the tournament.

The tournament was held under the auspices of the Nelson Mandela Amateur Boxing Organisation (NMBABO) which is under ECABO, the structure that governs open boxing in the province.

Referees and judges are qualified NMBABO Officials. “We want to sharpen the skills of our boxers so that they do well in national and international competitions,” said Nogampula.

A number of former professional boxers like Mzukisi Oliphant,

Thembinkosi Blou, China Koyana, Mlungisi Takane, Khuselikile Gada and Mzikayise Matlala, to mention but a few, were in support with their boxers.

They too have taken courses as officials of this Olympic sport.

“I am so happy this boxing tournament was held here. This area used to have boxing but it died down in the past. Being a former boxer myself I know what the sport can do in keeping the youth away from doing wrong things,” said Cllr Qus-

Camper fights tooth and nail to escape relegation axe HAVING started the season on a bad note, Camper United is pulling out all the stops to avoid relegation from ZWIFA Ntando Transport and Tours Premier League.

United reminded their supporters that it was not a fluke for them to be promoted to the premier league with their 3-2 win over the high flying Shining Stars at Zwide Stadium on Sunday.

United’s neighbours Real Dodgers were unfortunate not to have snatched a point or three when they lost to Gal City.

Dodgers should pull up their socks in order to avoid dropping to the ZWIFA First Division. Their performance so far this season has been very poor.

Following their 4-1 drubbing of Kuyasa United last week, Major Chiefs continued with their winning ways in their 1-0 victory over Zwide Pirates.

This time around Kuyasa United did not disappoint their supporters and beat Morning Stars 2-0.

In a 2-2 drawn game, fans saw Zwide Celtics and Strikers United playing their hearts out against each other. Real Crusaders also played to a 1-1 draw against Golden Aces.

He said his plans included making sure that there was a boxing club in the Kuyga/Greenbushes area.

“People of this community love boxing. They proved it with their attendance. We know that not all our children will be playing soccer.

Maybe there are boxing champions in the waiting in this our Ward,” said Qushani.

He thanked the former boxers for laying a solid foundation in Kuyga.
