KDM Mayor reports mid-year under-expenditure By Xpress Reporter

collection shortfall to the seven day delay in the monthly electricity billing. Factoring in the December billing would bring down the negative collection variance to just over R40 million. However it's not all doom and gloom, as Mayor Nhaca declared that the total capital expenditure for the year to date (31st December 2021) stood at R123,811 million, just over R8

million shy of the budgeted R132,382 million. The municipality's debtors book is another cause for serious concern. As Mayor Nhaca put it: “Outstanding debtors' is comprised of consumer and sundry debtors. Consumer debtors amounted to R 252,711,615 million, indicating an increase of R22,623,907 million from June 2021, with the growth in

KDM to fast track housing projects By Xpress Reporter

The recently elected Council of KwaDukuza Municipality is determined to fast track the delivery of houses to the people, through unblocking of impediments causing delays in many human settlements projects across the municipality's area of jurisdiction. As part of preparations for the delivery of human settlements projects in the 2021-2026 Electoral Term members of Council were officially introduced to Implementing Agents (IA) appointed to deliver human settlements projects within KwaDukuza. The workshop, coordinated by the municipality's Infrastructure and Technical Portfolio Committee, and chaired by the Deputy Mayor Cllr. Thulani Ntuli, looked at housing implementation/backlogs, compliance issues, access to funding and the packaging of human settlements projects into the future. It was held on Friday at the New Covenant Fellowship church hall in KwaDukuza. Members of the Council in attendance expressed a need to accelerate the turn-around time for housing projects

delivery and committed to working with implementing agents. The Mayor of KwaDukuza, Cllr. Lindile Nhaca expressed the importance of sharing information and IN collaborating with stakeholders in the implementation of human settlements. “Local government has a mandate to work with various stakeholders to provide communities with adequate access to housing, this requires Councillors to take reasonable measures and added commitments to make this possible.” Members of the Council in attendance expressed a need

to accelerate the turn-around time for housing projects delivery and committed to working with implementing agents. The workshop delved into general challenges impacting on human settlements projects, including budgetary constraints, bulk infrastructure issues, funding for bus routes, land invasion and illegal sale of Council land. With regards to the infamous Rocky Park Housing Project, the gathering heard that the implementing agent is currently completing Scheme 8 of the project, with schemes 7, 6 and 5 set to

follow shortly. The total yield for the project stands at 776. 54 Units are scheduled to be completed in the ensuing fiscal year. One of the municipality's biggest human settlements projects, the Charlottedale Housing Project, which will benefit recipients from three wards viz ward 10, 11 and 29, has not even reached implantation stage yet. With a total of 1500 units, the project is set to be included in the planning budget. Councillors in attendance at the workshop called for expeditious resolutions of hindrances so that stalled projects could be revived and finalized as soon as possible.

New online car licence renewal system launched in S.A The South Africa Post Office has launched an online service for the renewal of motor vehicle licences from any online device. The full renewal process, including payment, will be done online, leaving only the last step of accessing the actual disc, the post office said. This will be done in one of two ways: • The Post Office can deliver the disc to the customer at an affordable delivery fee • The disk can be collected from a Post Office counter. “Payment is done safely and securely through Masterpass, which the user can download from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the Apple App Store for Apple devices. “No commission is charged on the renewal transaction. The cost of delivery to door is R75 and there is no charge to the customer when it is collected from a Post Office counter.” The customer will receive an SMS when the disk arrives at the destination Post Office for collection or when it goes out for delivery. The post office said

customers can expect a turnaround time of three working days, while it may be up to two days longer for outlying areas. The service is available for vehicle owners in all provinces of South Africa except, currently, the Western Cape. The South African Post Office is working to extend the service to this province as well. The online renewal facility for motor vehicle licences supplements the renewal service at selected Post Office branches, and customers will still be able to renew their vehicle licences at these branches. Customers who renew a vehicle licence at a Post Office branch receive the new disc immediately. “The South African Post Office also offers bulk motor vehicle licence renewal for fleet operators and businesses, both big and small,” it said. “This service entails the collection of all necessary documentation from company premises, taking them back to the Post Office for processing, printing of the discs and delivery back to the offices of the customer.”

SIU clears KDM of irregular Covid-19 procurement

The Mayor of KwaDukuza, Cllr. Lindile Nhaca has welcomed the outcomes of the Special Investigation Unit into the allegations of irregular procurement for Covid-19 Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) which clears all claims of irregularities against KwaDukuza Municipality. The Investigation accounted for the procurement of goods and services between 23 July 2020 to 30 September 2021 in respect of the National State of Disaster. “We welcome the positive outcomes of this investigation. Clearly, the report sends a strong message that KwaDukuza is not about fraud and corruption, but it is an institution that is committed to providing services to the community in the best interest of the people. KwaDukuza Municipality is sitting with a total of 14 consecutive unqualified audit reports and many of such audits have been without material corrections to the Annual Financial Statements which means that we are an institution that does things by the book. We also welcome all efforts by whistle-blowers who are committed to ensuring that government is accountable, but we will always cast a dim view over naysayers who are bent on turning us into victims of our own successes”, said Nhaca. This investigation emanated from a complaint received from a whistle blower i n v o l v e d i n KwaDukuza. The allegations were that KwaDukuza incurred irregular expenditure, followed an irregular procurement process in the appointment of service providers; and service providers inflated the prices in their contracts. Summary of Findings D u r i n g t h e investigation into the above service providers the SIU identified the following: • The service providers tendered for supplying KwaDukuza with PPE items pursuant to an invitation to bid that was advertised on the Municipality's website; • This process resulted in a supplier database being created for KwaDukuza. The service providers were contacted by the SCM officials at KwaDukuza

to provide quotes for certain items; • All service providers were requested to provide a sample of the items for KwaDukuza's approval; and • Once approved the service providers were issued with orders and delivery was to take place. • The SIU investigation into the above matters revealed that

KwaDukuza advertised for the supply of PPE on their website. All service providers who responded to the adverts were placed on a supplier database according to their responses and their ability to supply chosen products within the time frames sought by KwaDukuza. The system adopted by KwaDukuza tested the

market which was found to be fair. No irregularities were identified in the procurement process”, read the report. A total of ten companies were referred to the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) with the total value of contracts amounting to R328 095. The investigation revealed that the

This should include the filling of critical senior management posts, attending to organogram, addressing underexpenditure, addressing the culture of non-payment for services, and responding to all issues raised by the Auditor General in our bid to achieve a clean audit opinion,” Nhaca stated.

challenges faced by the municipality, as reflected in the Annual Report. She said if councillors remained united in both will and effort, then nothing could hamper Council's efforts to root out the identified challenges, and thereby restore the hopes sand faith of the people of KwaDukuza. “Our success will not be measured by the amount of time we spend in meetings, but it will be measured by the impact we are making to the lives of the people. We have agreed that our administration should be action orientated and always be motivated by the desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the ordinary people of KwaDukuza.

Changes to adjusted Alert Level 1 Covid-19 Regulations also been removed. However both Ministers of Health and Basic Education will in the coming days issue directives reflecting on this new approach. The isolation period was also reduced to 7 days. “Those who test positive with no symptoms don't have to self-isolate. But for those who do test positive and are symptomatic, the isolation period has been reduced from 10 to 7 days. Contacts do not have to isolate unless they develop symptoms. At the same time, schools will also return to full-time learning and the 1m social

distancing has been scrapped,” said the statement. Cabinet says the rationale for these amendments is informed by the proportion of people with immunity to Covid-19 which has risen substantially. Government commends all South Africans who continue to observe COVID-19 regulations and protocols. “We also remind those who are yet to get vaccinated to go for their COVID-19 vaccination and continue observing basic health protocols to prevent the transmission of the virus,” added the statement.

community and the crime forum to continue working together with police to combat crime. “We have to fight for more resources for these sectors to fight criminals who are terrorising our communities,” said Khuzwayo. The new executive committee is: EM Zungu (Chairperson), Salim Tootla (Deputy Chairperson), Zibuyile Madondo (Secretary), Ash Sookthev (Deputy Secretary), John Rowland (Treasurer), S.E Mkhize (Deputy Treasurer) and Samson Pillay (P.R.O). According to Sibusiso Khuzwayo all wards in the KwaDukuza policing precinct are represented as the additional members of the executive committee. “To cater for our traditional policing we added the traditional leaders (Izinduna) from tribal authorities namely, Qwabe Tribal Authority, Mathonsi Tribal Authority and Dube Tribal Authority. Blythedale is now part of the community in blue/cpf and they secured a spot in the top 7,” added Khuzwayo.

Cabinet has approved several changes to the adjusted alert Level 1 of Covid-19 regulations. These changes are based on the trajectory of the pandemic and the levels of vaccination in the country. The changes came after a special cabinet meeting held on Monday 31 January 2021. The resumption of schooling to full-time learning in all schools was a huge announcement. Primary, secondary and special schools will return to daily attendance. The regulatory provision for social distancing of 1meter for learners in schools has

“It is time to up our game. The choice before us is clear: either we are prepared to take hard decisions and discharge our duties as elected public representatives or municipal officials in respect with our respective mandates, or we face the consequence of poor or regressed performance. We want to see harsh consequences for non-performance. In terms of Financial Management and Viability, the municipality has remained stagnant at 65%, while a tremendous jump was registered in respect of Institutional Transformation and Municipal Development, where the municipality recorded an increase of 35% from the previous year, to 75%. Another silver lining was the commendable improvement in overall performance compared to the preceding year. “The overall municipal performance increased by 21% in 2020/2021 to 68% compared to 47% in 2019/2020 due the application of mitigation strategies to improve service delivery which was affected by the national state of disaster promulgated in March 2020,” Nhaca stated.

The importance of World Cancer Day

Each year on 4 February, World Cancer Day empowers all of us across the world to show support, raise our collective voice, take personal action and press our governments to do more. World Cancer Day is the only day on the global health calendar where we can all unite and rally under the one banner of cancer in a positive and inspiring way.

The global cancer epidemic is huge and is set to rise. Currently, 8.2 million people die from cancer worldwide every year, out of which 4 million are premature deaths (aged 30 to 69 years). Urgent action needs to be taken to raise awareness about the disease and to develop practical strategies to address the cancer burden. Global

disparities in access to prevention, treatment and palliative care are g r o w i n g exponentially. World Cancer Day is the ideal opportunity to spread the word and raise the profile of cancer in people's minds, in the world's media, and on the global health and development agenda. World Cancer Day is an initiative by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). UICC is the leading international nongovernmental organisation that unites the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, to promote greater equity, and to integrate cancer control into the world health and development agenda.

Municipality launches Youth Council

“Do not use stained bank notes” says SAPS By Xpress Reporter

The South Africa Police Service (SAPS) has issued a warning alerting the public to be cautious of stained bank notes. SAPS says never accept stained bank notes as they have likely been discoloured from ink dye used in security devices such as ATMs.

“ATMs hold cash in special containers that protect cash with dye-stain technology that is activated when someone tries to break open the container. Once activated, the cash is stained with a green dye, thus defacing the notes, rendering them unusable as currency. The stained notes are

recognised as having no monetary value once they are stained,” said SAPS Police added that people who have these notes make themselves suspects of a criminal investigation that will seek to determine if they were involved in the stealing and unauthorised a c c e s s o f t h e s e AT M containers.

CCMA upholds sacking of unvaccinated worker Last week the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration ruled that the dismissal of an employee for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the employer's adoption of a vaccine mandate policy requiring vaccination was substantially fair, and rejected the employee's request to be either reinstated or fully compensated. Labour law specialist Puke Maserumule says he's not surprised by the CCMA judgment which could set a legal precedent for other matters before it and the Labour Court. Gauteng-based company Goldrush Group announced plans to implement a mandatory vaccination policy last year. Maserumule says it followed the various steps required before

implementing the policy, including consultation and providing workers with the option of applying for an exemption. Goldrush Group reportedly fired business and training officer Theresa Mulderiji after her application for an exemption from company policy was rejected. The company was unable to move Mulderiji to another position because of the nature of her job, “I'm not surprised given the circumstances here that the Commissioner concluded that... it was reasonable to expect employees to be vaccinated, procedurally they had been compliant, and the employee's refusal left the employer with no alternative where there was no other position that could be offered to the employee,”

said Puke. Commissioner Lungile Matshaka found that Mulderiji had “refused to participate in the creation of a safe working environment. Maserumule says employers have a legal obligation to provide a healthy working environment and employees are obligated to cooperate in order to help facilitate it. Maserumule says the government issued a directive on vaccination in the workplace in June last year which made "specific provisions for employers to be able to adopt a policy that makes vaccination mandatory".

During the arrest Ndlovu was found in possession of the firearm used to kill the victim. He was charged for murder and for unlawful possession of a firearm, while Mbonambi was charged for murder. Both accused made several court appearances until they were convicted and sentenced,” Mbhele explained. She added that both were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, while Ndlovu received an additional 19 years in jail for unlawful possession of a firearm. “Following the intensive investigation by the detectives, it was revealed that Nqaba hired the hitman to kill his older brother so he could inherit his late father's wealth,” Mbhele said.

Education leads to opportunities

The road to success is not an easy path but it is through periods of trials and tribulations that one learns from mistakes learn and grow to become successful. To all those that have excelled in the class of 2021, well done! Many years of hard work has paid off… the paths are many and make the right choices. Destiny is in the palm of your hand and continue to thrive and strive towards greater heights in realising your dreams. Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. The sky is the limit, reach out for the stars. The secret of success is consistency of purpose. Always remember, your focus determines your reality.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. To many that had challenges and did not do well, give it a second chance do not give up on your dreams. It might take longer but you will arrive and shine again. Every moment is a fresh beginning, enjoy 2022 despite unfavourable conditions through lock down regulations. The roots of education are bitter but the fruit is sweet. There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. Cllr Krsna Sing DA Caucus Leader Ilembe District Municipality

The Nonoti Sanathan Vedic Dharma Patshala was founded in 1920. The main objective of the Patshala was to cater for the educational and cultural needs of the community. The Nonoti School was government aided school. The Patshala sold the school to the Department of Indian Education for R240 000. The Nonoti Sanathan Vedic Dharma Patshala Educational Trust was formed and registered on 30 May 1995. At the time, R240 000 was invested in the trust. The objective of the trust was to grant load bursaries to deserving students at secondary and tertiary institutions. Despite giving bursaries, the trust grew in excess of a million rands. Around 2014 the granting of loan bursaries stopped. The treasurer relocated to Gauteng. He did not hand over financial records. The bank account was closed. The post box rental was not paid. There has been no annual general meeting held since 2014.

Drug related crimes still a serious concern Police vow to make arrests until crime is eradicated By Xpress Reporter

Police in KwaZulu-Natal have vowed that brimful prisons will not deter them from putting more criminals behind bars. Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said police officers will simply not tolerate criminality, and will not be deterred in their quest to make the province a crime-free zone. Colonel Mbhele said in the space of seven days, police in KZN had arrested more than 2000 suspects in relation to a variety of serious crimes. Mbhele's data shows that drug related crimes still remain a serious concern for law enforcement in the province. “Police officers arrested 2064 suspects for crimes ranging from murders, attempted murders, robberies, fraud, possession of suspected stolen property, theft of motor

vehicle, drugs, rape, assault with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm, possession of suspect stolen property and other crimes. “A total of 43 suspects were arrested for murder, 24 for attempted murder, 20 for robberies, 53 sexual assault and rape, 423 assault with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm, 95 for theft and burglary, 223 for fraud and shoplifting and 467 for drug related crimes. Police also seized 52 vehicles, some were stolen or robbed from the owners and some were involved in the commission of crime,” Mbhele stated. The Colonel added that police also recovered 107 illegal firearms and 503 rounds of ammunition, during the period under review. “The suspects appeared in the various courts within the province where some were remanded in custody whilst other were released on bail,” she said.

Clinical, ruthless Blitzboks crowned champions

The Blitzboks won their sixth consecutive World Rugby Sevens Series tournament on Sunday night,

beating Australia 33-7 in the Seville final. It is their fourth straight win of the 2021/22 season, and they have

solidified their status as the team to beat on the circuit, even with New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa currently unable

to participate due to Covid-19 restrictions. The Blitzboks can only play what is in front of them, and they did that again this weekend with a near-flawless display. They did not have it all their way initially in the final, and things got even more difficult when Justin Geduld was stretchered off injured, having lasted just a few minutes. The Blitzboks could not get hold of the ball in the first period, and the Australians scored the first try of the final with just a minute left before half-time as teenager Dietrich Roache dotted down under the posts. That lead was shortlived, though, and the Blitzboks bounced back immediately when nifty

footwork from first Selvyn Davids and then Christie Grobbelaar saw the latter dive over after reaching his own grubber first. Davids knocked over the conversion, and with the scores tied at 7-7, South Africa would have been pleased with that return given how little possession they had. Coach Neil Powell's men were on another level in the second period, and Grobbelaar went over for his second shortly after the restart after the Blitzboks had overpowered the Aussies at a breakdown. The conversion was good once more, and the Blitzboks were 14-7 up. The killer blow for the Australians then came when they lost the ball on their own

try line, with Ryan Oosthuizen gathering and barging his way over. Davids kicked another difficult conversion, and with the scoreboard reading 21-7 to the Bltzboks, the match was over as a contest given how clinical and ruthless this team has been. Australia received two yellow cards in the second half to South Africa's one, which did not help their cause. Darren Adonis scored the Blitzboks' fourth try, rounding off an overlap down the right, and with just 30 seconds remaining on the clock, the celebrations could begin. There was still time, however, for captain Impi Visser to go over for one more.

Barty 'humbled' after joining tennis royalty Ashleigh Barty says she feels "humbled" to have joined tennis royalty's most exclusive club with a Grand Slam crown on three different surfaces, but vowed: "There's still work to be done." The 25-year-old achieved the feat by becoming the Australian Open's first home champion in 44 years when she came from 1-5 down in the second set of Saturday's final to beat Danielle Collins 6-3, 7-6 (7/2). It followed her breakthrough French Open success in 2019 and Wimbledon last year, putting her in elite company. The only other active players to snare majors on clay, grass and hard courts are legends of the sport - Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Barty and Williams are the only two to win their first three Slams on three surfaces. Even her coach Craig Tyzzer is

amazed at what Barty has achieved. Widely seen as one of the nicest players on tour, Barty has also rapidly become its best, with her dizzying array of slices, pinpoint serving and seamless forehand typifying her allround game. She often pays tribute to Tyzzer for helping her become the player that she is, but it started at a much younger age with childhood coach Jim Joyce. Barty said she spent the night after her triumph quietly, having a few drinks with her team and getting to bed at a reasonable hour, before posing for pictures with the trophy in a Melbourne park on Sunday morning. She told reporters that becoming the first Australian to win her home Grand Slam since Chris O'Neill in 1978 was hard to compare with her other titles in Paris and London.
