Hoop vir skool met waterkrisis CARA­LEE DORFLING

S

edert die begin van die nuwe skooljaar was daar nog nie ’n skooldag wat die watertoevoer na die Despatch Primêre Skool normaal was nie.

Leerlinge by die skool wat op die kruin van Reservoir Hills in geleë is, word vroeg huis toe gestuur wanneer die watertoevoer opdroog en toilette nie kan spoel nie.

Mali Mtima, woordvoerder van die onderwysdepartement, het gesê dié situasie is ’n groot bekommernis vir die departement en hy het ’n beroep op die munisipaliteit gedoen om die probleem so gou as moontlik op te los.

‘Dit raak ’n gesondheidsrisiko wanneer die toilette nie kan spoel nie, daarom moet ons die leerlinge huistoe stuur.’

Summer Love Valentine’s Day concert Singer and performer Courtney Courus from Uitenhage is a member of the talented Courus & AdLib music group who will be performing some of the best love songs of all time during a Summer Love concert on Valentine’s Day. (See p. 5)

Die skoolhoof, Danny Jacobs sê, “Dit raak ’n gesondheidsrisiko wanneer die toilette nie kan spoel nie, daarom moet ons die leerlinge huistoe stuur.”

Hy sê verlede jaar het leerlinge altesaam 51 skooldae gemis en hulle moes vanjaar al drie keer huis toe gestuur word.

“Op ons eerste dag terug by die skool was daar nie water nie. Daar was nog nie een dag van normale watertoevoer by die skool nie,” sê Davene de Vos, departementshoof by die skool.

Die skool het in 2017 ’n slaagsyfer van 88% gehad, maar De Vos meen dit kon veel beter gewees het as daar nie bykans ’n hele kwartaal van skool gemis is nie. “ ’n Kwartaal is sowat 48 dae lank. Ons het ’n kurrikulum waardeur ons moet werk en dit is moeilik wanneer skool gemis word.”

Leerlinge vanuit ander woonbuurte en onderwysers is gevra om water skool toe te bring, om minstens water aan die skool se voedingskema te bied wat die leerlinge van kos voorsien.

“Maar nou is water ’n nasionale krisis.

Mense kan nie meer net water tap en skool toe bring nie,” sê Jacobs verder.

Hoop vir Despatch­skool se waterkrisis vir die buur-gebied, is die munisipaliteit bewus van die probleem.

“Daar is maar groot probleme, maar dit kry aandag.

“Hulle (die skool) sit heelbo op ’n kruin langs die reservoir. As daar enigsins waterprobleme is, of dit word afgesny, is daardie kruintjie alewig sonder water, dit is nou maar ’n pes en ’n pyn.”

Vervolg vanaf bl.1 Water word in emmers gehou om toilette te probeer spoel en leerlinge was hul hande in bakkies water.

Ondanks verskeie versoeke om hulp aan die munisipaliteit, is watertoevoer ’n voortdurende probleem.

Volgens Francois Greyling, DA-raadslid

=Davene de Vos, departementshoof by die Despatch Primary School, wys een van die watertenks wat deur die munisipaliteit aan die skool geleen word, maar nog nie gekoppel is nie.

Hy sê watertenks is vir eers aan die skool geskenk en waterskenkings sal volg. ’n Nuwe waterpomp, wat die watertoevoer na die skool sal versterk, is ook bestel, sê Greyling.

Jacobs sê afgevaardigdes van die metro het Dinsdag die skool besoek en hulle het genoem dat ’n nuwe pompstasie-aanleg sal volg.

“Ons is baie dankbaar vir die hulp wat ons nou ontvang. Die probleem is egter dat dit nog tussen drie en vier maande kan neem om te voltooi. In die tussentyd duur die waterprobleem voort.

Masixolo Zinto, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir infrastruktuur, ingenieurswese, elektrisiteit en energie, was nie onmiddellik vir kommentaar beskikbaar nie.

Prayer service for rain held on Market Square The drought and associated water shortage have officially escalated to the level of a disaster. Water in the dams supplying Nelson Mandela Bay will last only a few months.

The hope is on a natural solution - rain!

Therefore a special interdenominational prayer service for rain will be held tomorrow and all interested are invited to attend the gathering on Uitenhage Market Square in front of the Town Hall at 13:00.

It is organised by the Uitenhage Ministers Fraternal and the duration of the service is only 45 minutes.

“The service is being held to pray for much needed rain in the Eastern Cape, as

well as the Western Cape. Both provinces are facing a crisis of catastrophic proportions unless good rains fall within the next few weeks,” said pastor Ken du Pisanie from Philadelphia Church and a member of the Uitenhage Ministers Fraternal.

“This call goes to members from all churches and residents from Uitenhage as well as Despatch and surrounding areas to gather and unite and to humble themselves in calling on the Lord to have mercy on the land and give us rain,” said Pastor Du Pisanie. )Local businesses are kindly requested to close between 13:00 and 14:00 on Friday, to make it possible for staff to attend the prayer service.

Ten good things about the drought B

eyond the clamour around who’s to blame, conflicting scenario descriptions of Day Zero and its predicted date, individual and community responses and helpful tips, the drought - now officially the worst on record without historical precedent - has done us all some good.

This is according to a media release issued by the Wildlife & Environment Society of South Africa, who identified 10 good things about this natural phenomenon: 1. It has heightened public awareness of the reality of climate change impacts. The impact can’t be limited to water only.

Fires, migration, health, economy and security are patently part of the picture and an holistic response is required.

2. The world takes note with apprehensive inter­ est. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that climate change is the greatest threat to civilization. Other water-stressed cities like Los Angeles, Sao Paulo and Singapore consider who will be next.

3. Communities have started working co­oper­ atively and innovatively together. This is after realising that leaders global, national and local can do only so much. There are domestic street and faith based responses, workplace plans and frail support initiatives. As people work to-

=The drought has been a big boost for self­sufficiency like making use of grey water, organising a rain tank or bending the ball­valve arm down in your toilet cistern to reduce the flush volume. Residents from Despatch boost their self­sufficiency by making use of recycled water at the pump station next to Dr Verwoerd Drive for non­consumption usage or even filling up swimming pools. This water is available free of charge provided you bring your own cans or tanks. PHOTO: HEILIE COMBRINCK gether, mesh talents and grow trust more dots are joined, giving issues of sustainability and cooperative solutions new meaning and practical application direction.

4. There has been a rap­ id water literacy and nu­ meracy upgrade across society. People are interested and it is important to know what a catchment is and what happens in it.

Some people also did not know that 25 litres of water weighs 25 kg or thought about where water goes if you have to flush it.

5. Scarcity means we all need to make a plan. We need a good, appropriate, technically sound plan that

would see the saving of at least 30 million litres of water per day. Controversial water academic and activist, Anthony Turton, said South Africa does not have the dilution capacity for all its pollution. That’s even truer today. By addressing the water scarcity problem we start mitigating the degradation of rivers, wetlands, estuaries and oceans too.

6. Not satisfied with glib answers or spin­doctor­ ing. The public is interrogating the reasoning and planning in a way that demonstrates deeper understanding of and engagement with issues. Government’s ability, at all levels, to plan realistically and respond to

emergency situations appropriately is being tested and subjected to scrutiny.

Can you really flush with seawater? Are 200 water points sufficient for 3 million people? Is saltwater intrusion into our groundwater likely? - are the sorts of questions being posed to politicians and officials who are also, happily, being swept along on a steep learning curve.

7. All the practical re­ sponses to the drought have been a big boost for self­sufficiency and resil­ ience thinking. Things like organising a rain tank, bending the ball-valve arm down in your toilet cistern to reduce the flush volume

or fitting aerators to tap nozzles have been a big boost for self-sufficiency and resilience thinking that is pollinating across other areas of life including energy, waste reduction, transport efficiency and food security.

The consequent empowerment that goes with positive feedback from such efforts means a trend towards less externalization of our needs and responsibilities and a greater sense of pride in problem solving.

8. The drought is a time­ ly reminder of the abso­ lute need to decouple growth from resource ex­ ploitation and environ­ mental degradation. People’s ability to halve their

water consumption in a year and then do more shows what is possible. Can the fossil-fuel based energy footprint be reduced dramatically? Could the plastic waste stream from singleuse packaging become a trickle? Is it feasible to so increase marine protected areas and compliance and change consumer behaviour so effectively that we pull back from Day Zero on the fishing front too?

9. This kind of circular thinking has also put the spotlight on the essential need for waste water re­ cycling. Waste water recycling should be part of the new normal. The benefits are significant: less effluent to the sea, less pollution into rivers, greater water security, tighter control on commercial and industrial outflows, more training and jobs for water technicians and developing understanding of groundwater recharge implications.

10. Appreciation of eco­ system services from wet­ lands, rivers, the ocean, springs and aquifers and the need to protect these from pollution and over­ use. You can take a wash in the sea, relax in the shade of riverine vegetation and strip nutrients from your grey water with the help of a home-planted wetland. Kikuyu grass is giving way to hardy indigenous plants and local hack groups taking out black wattle and Port Jackson are water heroes.

Drotsdy sê dankie vir ondersteuning HEILIE COMBRINCK

D

anksy die publiek se ondersteuning is meer as drie ton kleinkoekies vir die Kersvakansie deur Drostdy Werkplek vir verstandelik gestremdes gebak.

Dit is nie waar die ondersteuning stop nie, vele ander skenkings is ook aan die werkplek gemaak. Drostdy is ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie en is afhanklik van fondsinsamelings om na die 56 verstandelik gestremdes by die sentrum om te sien.

“Ons was platgeslaan toe die Lotto na baie jare se ondersteuning verlede jaar ons aansoek vir finansiële ondersteuning afgekeur het,” sê Yvonne Barkhuizen, bestuurder van Drostdy Werkplek.

“Een deur het toegegaan, maar ons is dankbaar vir soveel ander deure wat oopgegaan het.”

Buiten die skerp toename van koekiebestellings vanuit ander dorpe soos Cradock, Graaff Reinet en Tarkastad, was daar ook ’n aanvraag na die werkplek se houtwerk.

“Community Chest en Goodyear ondersteun ons houtwerk-afdeling met skenkings.

Ons is baie dankbaar vir hulle betrokkenheid.”

Ander aktiwiteite by Drostdy wat bydra tot hulle fondse is die naaldwerkafdeling onder leiding van Chrizelda Martin.

“Daar kan verstelwerk gedoen word of selfs kontrakwerk. Dit geld ook vir ons houtwerk-afdeling onder leiding van Lew de Lange sowel as die kombuis. Waar gaan mens nog so ’n lekker swaar tuisgebakte brood vir net R10 kry?” ’n Weldoener uit Kruisrivier het Drostdy werkers genooi om tamaties te gaan pluk wat deur die werkplek verwerk is.

Dit het goed verkoop en ons fondse aangehelp,” sê Yvonne. ’n Ander weldoener het ’n waterverkoeler aan die werkplek geskenk en daar is vragte klere aan werkers geskenk.

“Ons het geen idee wie dit is nie, toe ons sien staan die watertoestel opgekoppel. Dit

is die heerlikste koue water en die werkers geniet dit vreeslik in hierdie somerhitte.

Baie dankie aan die skenker!

“Baie dankie aan die sakepersoon op Uitenhage wat ’n bedrag geld inbetaal het vir ons brandstof. En die vulstasie-eienaar wat dié bedrag aanvul om die vervoer van ons

werkers te borg. Dit is ’n groot seën,” sê Yvonne.

Huidiglik is daar ’n Valentynskussingkompetisie waarvan die trekking op 14 Februarie gehou word en koue poedings wat bestel kan word. )Vir navrae bel Drostdy by 041 992 4195.

Discharging of firearms: Shotspotter to aid in law enforcement “CRIMINALS must know that we are trying more innovative ways to deal with crime prevention and law enforcement and the successful implementation of Shotspotter technology is just one of the ways we are dealing with this evil.”

Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Executive Mayor Athol Trollip made this pertinent statement at a press conference held jointly with American company, Shotspotter Incorporated, and the Municipality at the Port Elizabeth City Hall on Tuesday.

Mayor Trollip said barring the necessary funding allocation, the roll-out of this technology will be considered for other crime-ridden areas in future.

Shotspotter Technology, piloted in Helenvale since October 2017, entails the strategic placement of acoustic sensors that immediately informs law enforcement of gunshots and provides precise information of the location of the crime.

The consideration for a broader roll-out of the R3 million pilot-project, follows seventeen arrests by the gang unit of the South African Services and arrests for attempted murder and possession of unlicensed firearms amongst others.

Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Cllr John Best, said before the launch of this technology in October last year, a two-week trial period showed that 99% of the shots discharged in Helenvale are not reported to the police.

“Initially we noticed a lot of gunshots in the old Helenvale area and with the technology aiding the South African Police Services (SAPS), the gang unit and the Metro Police, we could zero in on the problematic areas.

“We had about 15 streets where regular gunshot incidents occurred. This came down to about three streets at the moment.

“Three suspects were arrested for attempted murder, three for possession of firearms without a valid licence, one murder suspect was arrested and we recovered a shotgun with 54 rounds as well as a 9mm gun.

“This morning, I was informed by the SAPS gang unit that they arrested 17 suspects on suspicion of gang activity since October. In all these instances suspects were arrested when the Metro Police and SAPS responded to Shotspotter notifications following the discharge of firearms,”

said MMC Best.

Shotspotter Incorporated was founded by an engineer mathematician in the United States of America and has been in business for more than twenty years.

Ralph Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer, said Nelson Mandela Bay is not unique when it comes to the underreporting of gun violence.

“In the USA about 10% of all gun violence is reported by residents. When gun violence is not reported, the police cannot respond and as a result gun violence becomes normalised.

“By enabling the police to respond to these events in real time, we can then communicate to the community that the police do care and build trusting relationships and community capacity to address gun violence.

“We have three deployments in South Africa and the thing I have been the most impressed with here in Nelson Mandela Bay is the cooperation and collaboration between your local Metro Police and SAPS as collaboration between different agencies and different stakeholders is crucial.

“The statistics MMC Best has shared are very impressive but I cannot empha-

size enough that they are short term statistics. The most interesting statistic is an anecdotal story that was shared with me.

“The behaviour of this community changed as people are now occupying spaces that they would otherwise not have used due to the fear of gun violence.

“People are using and playing in parks again and parents walk their children to school once again. That, despite the great work that law enforcement is doing in respect of gun violence, is perhaps the greatest lever that you have.

“This is reducing and de-normalising gun violence by communities reclaiming their space.

“We are very excited by what you are doing here. We are deployed in Chicago, Detroit and New York City and other major cities but are especially happy with the work done in smaller cities to combat gun violence.

“We are delighted to be your partner,” Clark said.

The evidence gathered with Shotspotter technology is used by prosecuting authorities and it is a crucial policing tool to gather intelligence to improve response and deployment of law enforcement.

Sassa succeeds with making direct payments REPORTER THE South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has successfully paid over two million beneficiaries who receive their grants from commercial banks.

This was made possible through their Paymaster General account which was opened recently.

According to a media statement released

by Sassa, this move is a giant step towards the company ultimately paying all beneficiaries using electronic payment methods.

“It is part of fully complying with orders

of the Constitutional Court and phasing out CPS, the current service provider. As from March 1, Sassa will also do direct transfers to about 5.7 million beneficiaries who use the Sassa card,” the statement read.

This will bring about 80% of payment transactions under the control of Sassa by the end of March this year.

“By April, the only beneficiaries whose payments won’t be falling under Sassa’s direct control will be the ones paid in cash at Sassa paypoints.

“Sassa has already gone to the market for the cash payment category by way of advertising a tender. This represents just under

three million beneficiaries.”

The statement said that until recently, the legislated life insurance premium deductions of 700 000 beneficiary accounts were deducted through a third party contractor.

“Sassa is in the process of completing the takeover of this responsibility from CPS, who was managing these on Sassa’s behalf, while currently negotiating with the banking industry in order to develop a low cost banking account which will be subsidised by the company so that beneficiaries get the full value of their grants without paying bank charges.”

Such an account will not allow electronic

debits and is intended to protect beneficiaries from unauthorised debits which have been a problem in the past.

The current Sassa card is still valid and will only expire at the end of the year; by then the new Sassa/Sapo card would have been introduced.

“Sassa has gone on a countrywide awareness campaign to inform beneficiaries of these developments and to eliminate fake messages which tell beneficiaries to switch to some questionable new cards. The public is reminded to contact 0800 601 011 or alternatively 043 707 6300/6335 in case they need more clarity.”

Nuwe kuier­era met Anibrand se konsert HEILIE COMBRINCK

A

nibrand gáán vanjaar gebeur. Wel nie op ‘n feesterrein nie, maar in die Uitenhage Sportsentrum waar elf gewilde sangers oor die drie aande die dak gaan lig.

“Ons noem dit Anibrand Konsert, want daar gaan nie stalletjies en uitstallers wees soos by ‘n fees nie, net sangers wat optree,” sê Tossie van Loggerenberg, organiseerder van Anibrand.

“Konsertgangers is welkom om hulle eie piekniekmandjies te pak en eie drinkgoed saam te bring. Ek weet die mense hou daarvan, so dit gaan nogal bydra tot ‘n gesellige atmosfeer.”

Die Brandwag Hoërskool gaan ligte eetgoed en koeldrank verskaf en NGK Uitenhage-Noord gemeente gaan koffie en tee aanbied. Daar is geen kontantkroeg beskikbaar nie.

Die konsert word aangebied in samewerking met Nelson Mandelabaai Munisipaliteit en die vloerplan van die sportsentrum maak voorsiening vir sowat 800 mense.

Volgens Karen Basson, mede-organiseerder van die Anibrand Konsert, is daar ‘n opname gemaak oor watter kunstenaars die publiek graag wil sien.

“Touch of Class is baie gewild en daarom sluit hulle vir ons die program op ‘n hoë noot af. Uitenhagers hou ook van Ray Dylan want die dorp is mos sy “tweede huis,” sê Basson.

“Onder die jonger mark was Desmond Wells en Deon Groot die gewilde keuses vir

sertgangers verras word met ‘n gaskunstenaar wat tussen die kunstenaars gaan optree.

“Nog ‘n andersheid van die konsert is dat kunstenaars nie in spesifieke tydgleuwe gaan optree nie.

“Die aand moet gesien word as een vertoning wat om 19:00 begin en dit gaan bydra tot ‘n lekker kuier-atmosfeer, sê Van Loggerenberg.

Die Anibrand Konsert word van 1 tot 3 Maart gehou en deure maak daagliks 17:30 oop, vertonings begin 19:00 en duur tot laat.

Mmusi Maimane empowers local youth THANDI SETOKOE

DEMOCRATIC Alliance (DA) leader, Mmusi Maimane has committed to making the empowerment of young people his main priority.

Maimane was speaking in Motherwell last Friday, where he visited residents as part of his People’s Forum Tour. Maimane said the party had launched a one-year internship programme, called Vukuzakhe, a single portal where unemployed youth could access all the internships on offer.

“This youth internship initiative looks at how we can employ and avail job opportunities for young people.

This programme is aimed at equipping the

youth with skills training coupled with onthe-job training,” Maimane said.

He said the party had written to the business communities and have commitments from both the private and public sector to rapidly roll out this programme.

“I have also commissioned our government to ensure that they open up more opportunities for the youth,” Maimane said.

Speaking at the forum, Anelisa Mabece, currently an intern in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Mayor’s Office, commended the launch of Vukuzakhe.

“I will forever be grateful for this opportunity that the municipality has granted me.

“And I believe that Vukuzakhe will also open doors for others,” Mabece said.

Raised by a single parent, Mabece said she always wanted to make her mother proud because she knew that her mom had not sent her to school to end up being unemployed and falling prey to social ills in the township.

“I graduated in 2014 and have been unemployed since. When I came across the municipal internship programme advert, I jumped at the opportunity,” Mabece said.

She said it was a gruelling process and she was ecstatic to have been chosen as one of the four interns.

“One thing my mom has taught me is that education is the one thing that no one can ever take away from you,” Mabece added.

Another municipal intern, Bajabulile Makhaye, said in as much as education is the key to success, it is not enough.

“As the youth we need to go an extra mile – voluntary work can do wonders.”

Mmusi Maimane’s addressed the residents’ needs and concerns during his People’s Forum Tour in Motherwell last week.

PHOTOS:THANDI SETOKOE Makhaye started working at the age of 15 by helping her neighbour with carrying vegetables to her stall.

“All this I did because I wanted a reference for my CV that I would use when I applied for a waitressing job,” Makhaye said.

Maimane said that the DA had recognised that internships were not the only solution on the table to tackle unemployment, stating that mass employment can only be created by

the construction of more factories.

“The factories will then be used for manufacturing. We also need to enhance tourism and stimulate agriculture, and in key big sectors we have to have economic growth so that more people can find work.”

He said the struggle in South Africa is the struggle for jobs. “It’s not against an individual, it’s about a job. Therefore, we must deal with economic growth.”

Date for Zimbabwean Exemption Permits extended REPORTER THE Department of Home Affairs has extended the closing date for payments and submission of supporting documents and biometrics (finger prints) for the new Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) to February 15, this year.

In a statement release, the department said the cut-off date was initially November 30, last year and was extended to January 31, this year in the hope that all those who had applied online

would have made the necessary payment and provide the required supporting documents and biometrics.

“By January 29, a total of 176 605 applicants completed the entire process, which includes honouring their appointments with VFS and submitting supporting documents and biometrics.

The department plans to have completed the whole project, including finalising adjudications and issuing all new permits, by the end of September this year.

Beware: social media scams AS social media continue to gain prominence amongst South African consumers, platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have also become platforms where fraudsters attempt to catch unsuspecting consumers off guard.

Kovelin Naidoo, Chief Cyber Security Officer at FNB, says although social media scams in South Africa are not yet prevalent, compared to our global counterparts; the reality is that they do exist.

“Given that the popularity of social media is set to remain for the coming years, consumers are encouraged to constantly educate themselves and their loved ones about the latest methods that fraudsters use to get hold of their victims’ personal information,” adds Naidoo.

Latest social media scams: •Blackmail – never share personal photos or videos on social media that portray you in a compromising position as scammers can use these against you by threatening to send them to close family members or upload them on public platforms.

•Phishing - beware of fraudsters pretending to represent your bank on social media platforms. Your bank will never ask for your credit or cheque card, account number, online banking login details or password or One Time PIN (OTP) on social media platforms.

•Help and favours - be on high alert when asked for special financial favours or urgent assistance by strangers, no matter how caring or persistent the individuals may seem.

Never share your banking details with strangers and think twice before sending money to someone you recently met online

or haven’t met in person yet.

•Dating and romance scams - consumers who use social media platforms to meet companions or their life partners should lookout for fraudsters that play on emotional triggers to scam people out of their hard earned cash.

Dating and romance scammers often lower your defences by appealing to your compassionate side in order to take advantage of you.

•Identity theft – avoid sharing personal information, such as ID, passport, drivers licence, payslip, bank statement, municipal or account statements on social media.

Fraudsters can steal your information and use it illegally by impersonating you.

•Money laundering – scammers often trick people through social media platforms by claiming to have large sums of cash that they need to deposit urgently through a foreign bank account.

Do not allow your account to be used by another person to deposit or transact on.

This can put you in serious trouble with authorities as allowing proceeds of crime to be laundered through your bank account, knowingly or unknowingly, is a criminal offence.

Furthermore, never open a bank account in your name on behalf of a person you have met on social media platforms, irrespective of the circumstances.

“When all safety precautions are taken into account, social media remain one of the best platforms that consumers can use to keep up to date with the latest news and trends, interact and catch up with friends and family,” concludes Naidoo.

SPECIAL THANKS TO PROF KULA Lizzelle 46yrs from Graaff Reinet, thank you Prof Kula for helping my family, my son was a drug & alcohol addict for yrs & I tried a lot of healers and prophets but all failed until I saw Prof Kula's advert in the newspaper.

He came to our house and performed his spiritual prayers which chased away all evil and demons which was destroying my family. Prof Kula used his magic rats & short boys to bring money into our house that same night.

With his powerful miracles he prayed for us and our marriage is better now and peaceful. All thanks to Prof Kula again. Please contact him should you have any problems. You pay after the job has been completed successfully or visit him in Port Elizabeth.

John Best: Safety of Ironman athletes addressed REPORTER THE safety of international and local participants in the Standard Bank Ironman African Championships and the 2018 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in September is paramount with proactive safety measures established since last year.

Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Safety and Security Councillor

John Best gave this assurance as excitement mounts ahead of these showpiece events.

“We are determined to make sure that the only drama before and on race days will be the excitement on the course and that the safety of the participants, their families, friends and spectators is not compromised,” he continued.

“We instituted extraordinary measures to avoid incidents by deciding on a plan of ac-

Temporary call­in system at traffic centres IF an appointment to renew your drivers licence or professional driver permits (PrDP) is your preference, a new system is in place at the Uitenhage and Korsten Traffic and Drivers Licensing Centres.

Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Cllr John Best, said this manual booking system, where residents can either call in or make an appointment at the departments, is a temporary pre-cursor for a fullyfledged online booking system and a smartphone application.

“We decided to implement the temporary call-in and walk-in booking system ahead of the digital booking systems to find a quicker

way to alleviate the long queues plaguing service delivery at the centres.

“The immediate implementation of the temporary booking system will be a great help to those who cannot wait in lines due to time constraints and ailments.

“Three machines will be dedicated in Korsten to the new booking system and one in Uitenhage. Each machine will accommodate twenty-eight bookings per day “In addition to the booking system, residents who prefer to stand in the queue to be serviced, can continue to do so as well.

“Other improvements to the current service delivery model include a third Traffic and Drivers Licensing Centre at the Mother-

tion and having a number of meetings with clubs representing cyclists and Ironman South Africa to inform them of our patrol times and routes.

“Patrols are conducted by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Metro Police, Traffic Law Enforcement, South African Police Service and a number of private security operatives.

The municipality is also looking at innovative public private partnerships to involve not just community structures but residents along the routes when hosting the events,” MMC Best said.

The safety and security for the Standard Bank Ironman African Championships in April and the crown jewel on September 1 and 2 include the following: . High visibility of officers at tourist attractions . Continuous daily law enforcement well Thusong Service Centre, two centres where drivers licences can be renewed and proposals from our IT technicians to improve the Department of Transportowned computer system at our traffic departments,” said Best. ) Uitenhage Traffic & Licensing Centre 041 995 2700.
