Ramaphosa declares State of Disaster over KZN floods

water and electricity infrastructur e left many communities in KwaZuluNatal with dry taps and n o electricity. “To ensure an effective response to these tragic events, the National Disaster Management Centre last week classified the flooding as a provincial disaster. This was followed by the declaration of the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal to invoke extraordinary measures to deal with the situation. “However, given the extent and impact of the floods, the designation of a provincial state of disaster is inadequate to deal with the scale of the emergency and the required reconstruction and rehabilitation measures and responses. Cabinet therefore met in a special session last night and decided to declare a National State of Disaster,” Ramaphosa said.

The President added that government's response to the KZN flood disaster will be conducted in three phases, with the first phase focusing on immediate humanitarian relief through the provision of basic human needs. The second phase will be geared towards stabilization and recovery, including rehousing of displaced people and the resumption of basic services. The final phase will be centred on reconstruction and rebuilding, Ramaphosa indicated. “The Department of Human Settlements has begun an assessment of damages to houses across the province, and has determined initial requirements for the provision of temporary accommodation, repairs to damaged houses and the replacement of destroyed houses. “An immediate task is to house those people who have been displaced by the floods. Preparations are underway to provide temporary residential units and it is expected that construction of these should begin by the end of this week.

Having received hundreds of millimetres of rainfall early last week, residents of KwaDukuza were shocked when their taps ran dry, for days on end. Water shortages were so widespread that water could not hope to cover the entire affected areas.

Easter Bunny at Ballito Lifestyle Centre

Taps run dry after infrastructure battered by torrential rains On Wednesday the municipality informed residents that the storms had washed away most of the pipes, resulting in prolonged water outages. The problem persisted until Thursday, with communities expressing rising frustration at the apparent lack of intervention by officials. “The teams are busy

isolating and reinstating some areas where this has happened. The reinstatement process is not as efficient and quick as district municipality would like it to be as some pipes and backfill materials were completely washed away. “Another challenge is the replenishing of diesel at the Balancing reservoir generators in order to

maintain pumping consistently even during power outages. The dirt roads leading to the reservoir have been damaged to such an extent that refuelling is proving to be quite difficult. Water levels are being monitored hourly and pumping adjustments made as and when conditions dictate,” stated iLembe District Municipality.

Ilembe councillors inspect ongoing projects

Last week the members of iLembe Council's Infrastructure and Technical Portfolio Committee led by the Chairperson of the committee, Deputy Mayor Councillor James van Whye inspected project sites as part of playing their oversight role. Mayor Cllr Thobani Shandu and Council Speaker Cllr Dolly Shandu joined the committee when it visited the Darnall Sewer Upgrade Phase 1 project where sewer pumps Tatiana and sewer pipelines are being constructed. The committee also visited Warrenton where a pipe replacement project is taking place as well as Etsheni in Groutville where a sanitation project is being rolled out.

Public Protector assesses flood impact in KwaDukuza KwaDukuza Mayor, Cllr. Lindile Nhaca has welcomed the visit to KwaDukuza by Public Protector, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane, which took place on Sunday 17th of April 2022. The visit was part of the Public Protector's institutional oversight work on the impact of floods in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). “ A d v . B u s i s i w e Mkhwebane's visit underlines government's urgent response to this disaster. I am glad that she was able to carry her work in our area without any hindrances and interference. I look forward to her report and trust that her recommendations will make a difference in the lives of the people who have been impacted by floods. This again brings much hope and assurance that government is hard at work and utilizing all institutions and resources during these difficult times. The scale of devastation has

been immense, with an economy that was already ravaged by Covid-19”, said Nhaca. Mkhwebane visited the Monkey Town informal settlement area which was severely affected by the rainfall. She was accompanied by her team of investigators. The National Disaster Management Centre last week classified KZN under a state of disaster. This classification will

enable KwaDukuza to source intervention funding from the provincial and national government in order to provide aid to victims and to rebuild infrastructure. By virtue of being an affected municipality in the province, KwaDukuza is expected to compile its case-study and report before its respective intergovernmental forums for the purpose of funding and other interventions.

The KwaDukuza Executive Committee (EXCO) last week deployed a team of specialists composed of engineers, technicians, building inspectors and human settlements officials to areas that have been hit by floods in a bid to ascertain the extent of the damages. This organizational exercise forms part of the case study which will be subsequently escalated to the Provincial and National Disaster Management Centre.

Rescue teams have finally been able to locate the body of a female motorist whose car was washed away by floods in Gledhow last week. This has brought closure to the family of the deceased, who had been unaccounted for, for a number of days. The operation involved IPSS Medical Rescue, Umhlali SAPS K9 Unit, KwaDukuza Fire Department and members of the community.

The body was located in a dam downstream, however due to contamination in the dam, rescue teas were unable to enter and retrieve the body. A South African National Defense Force (SANDF) helicopter was then requested to assist in recovering the body. RECOVERED: The body of a female motorist was recovered in a dam in Gledhow

SMA spreads warmth through blanket donation WARMTH: The Stanger Muslim Association (SMA) has distributed blankets to ward off the winter chill and the after effects of the devastating floods. Pictured are some of the beneficiaries.

ANC calls for urgent action to help flood victims By Xpress Reporter

The ANC is calling on government to partner with the private in order to expedite relief intervention for KZN flood victims. Commenting a day after the heavy downpour which resulted in more than 50 people losing their lives ain parts of KZN, the ANC said the damage caused to infrastructure in the affected regions was enormous, in addition to severe adverse impact on the lives of those affected. The ruling party noted that urgent action was needed to provide shelter, food and other urgent necessities to the victims. “The ANC urges all its members, volunteers, supporters and the public at large to join and embrace all disaster management efforts

geared towards the humanitarian mission of rescuing all victims of floods in KwaZulu-Natal. All relief efforts should e properly coordinated to ensure that all people affected by floods get help. These conditions have the potential to further exacerbate the socioeconomic conditions of our people who are still recovering from the rippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The ANC also notes and appreciates the services of the South African National defense Force (SANDF) and other stakeholders who have been hard at work in the evacuation process. During this difficult time, the ANC calls upon residents to remain calm while all measures are being undertaken to attend to the situation,” the ANC stated.

International Mother Earth Day

International Mother Earth Day is celebrated on 22 April to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. It also recognizes a collective responsibility, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. International Mother Earth Day provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the

We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection. Environmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs.

High raw water turbidity forces Hazelmere shutdown

SHUTDOWN: Umgeni Water says high raw water turbidity has affected the Hazelmere water treatment plant

High levels of turbidity in water entering the water treatment plant at Hazelmere, in the north of Durban, has resulted in shutdown of the plant. This means that, at this stage, no water is being treated and consequently Umgeni Water, which operates the plant, is unable to supply potable water to eThekwini Metro, iLembe District Municipality and Siza Water. The water eThekwini Metro receives from the Hazelmere Water Treatment Plant is supplied to consumers in Verulam, Waterloo, La Mercy, Sea

Tides and part of Ndwedwe. Siza Water supplies Ballito while iLembe District Municipality supplies Ndwedwe and parts of Groutville with water received from the Hazelmere Water Treatment Plant. The cause of high turbidity is directly attributed to the continuous and heavy rains received in the catchments of Hazelmere Dam from Friday, 8 April 2022, until Monday, 11 April 2022. This was followed by heavy inflows into Hazelmere Dam, from where the Hazelmere Water Treatment Plant draws its raw water for treatment,

Councillor Rishi Pooran, a proportional representative (PR) councillor for the DA, has place don record sincere appreciation to the local Muslim communi8ty for coming to the aid of distressed people, following last week's torrential rains. Cllr Pooran said the Muslim community distributed 250 hot meals to those in distress last week. Much to the delight of the

through run-off from saturated ground in the dam's catchments. The quality of water from long periods of rainfall and from many catchments is often poor. The quality of water abstracted and supplied to the treatment plant began deteriorating from Tuesday night as strong inflows into the dam continued. As a precaution, Umgeni Water began reducing production of potable water. A decision was taken on Wednesday to completely stop production in order to prevent the possibility of water that is not compliant

with SANS 241: 2015 reaching Umgeni Water's customers for distribution to consumers. SANS 24: 2015 regulates drinking water quality to ensure it is safe for consumption; Umgeni Water subscribes fully to SANS: 241 and, as a mandatory requirement, ensures that the potable it produces at all of its plants is fully compliant. Work began on Wednesday to flush the process units so that Umgeni Water is able to produce water that meets SAN 241: 2015 standards. Once this has been completed, production of potable water will begin again, after which supply to customers will resume. The reticulation systems that enable supply to consumers takes a while to recover. Umgeni Water wishes to assure its customers and consumers that there will no delays in completing the work required to fully restore production. An apology is also issued for inconvenience caused initially by reduced production and supply of potable and the temporary termination of production that was imperative to ensure full compliance with SANS 241: 2015.

Councillor thanks Muslim community of KwaDukuza beneficiaries. “I am grateful to them coming to the aid of the residents over the years an am glad to help in the distribution of the food to the residents. On behalf of the

community I want to say thank you to the Muslim community for your support,” stated Cllr Pooran.

South Africa ranks amongst the high-burden tuberculosis (TB), drug-resistant TB and HIV-co-infected TB countries, globally. However, over the past decade it has made significant progress in turning the tide by adopting the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended diagnostic technologies and therapies for both prevention and management to reduce the burden of the disease. In addition, the strengthening of HIV management has improved in parallel. These interventions have caused in a year-on-year decline in TB incidence, resulting in South Africa being one of six countries to achieve the End TB Strategy milestones for 2020, namely a 20% reduction in new TB cases (incident rate) between 2015 and 2020. Another success is that South Africa is one of 18 high-burden countries to achieve a greater than 80% coverage of testing for Rifampicin (a key drug for

sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs) which may be blood stained, fever and drenching night sweats. The presentation of TB symptoms in children, on the other hand, can be non-specific and, as a result may be overlooked, due to the overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis in children more challenging. Symptoms tend to vary between children and normally depends on a child's age. The most common symptoms of active TB in younger children include fever, failure to gain weight, lethargy, swollen glands, chills and below average growth patterns. It is essential for those diagnosed with TB to take medication for the prescribed period, regardless if the symptoms improve or disappear. Non-adherence to treatment guidelines can lead to the development of drugresistant, multi-drug resistant

(MDR) and extensively drugresistant (XDR) forms of tuberculosis, all of which resist standard TB treatment methods. For infants, young children and immunecompromised children who have been exposed to someone with infectious TB disease, a paediatric TB expert should be consulted. It is very important that children or anyone being treated for latent TB infection or TB disease complete the course of treatment exactly as instructed. What can be done to prevent TB infection in the first place? An important part of TB prevention is for those with active TB infections to take precautions to protect others. This includes wearing a face mask when in close contact with other people in the initial days of treatment; staying home and taking treatment until the contagious period has passed (as advised by the

Turning the tide on Tuberculosis the treatment of drug susceptibly TB) resistance. While there have been great strides in reducing the number of TB cases, the burden remains high and efforts to further decrease the burden of disease need to continue to achieve the ultimate goal of Ending TB by 2035. What can be done to change the country's status quo as we recognise TB Awareness Month during March? The answer is threefold and involves integrated processes that rely on creating awareness of the disease, promoting health-seeking behaviour; and rallying the support of communities and stakeholders behind TB prevention programs. All these are fundamental components to turning the tide on TB. Symptoms of the disease include fatigue, persistent cough that can last for weeks, chest pains, coughing up

clinician and on average about 2-4 weeks). Other preventative measures include covering your nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing, completing the entire course of prescribed medication without any treatment interruption, frequent hand washing, avoiding public places and public transport, and ensuring proper ventilation through open windows and the use of fans. Another effective way to prevent the spread of TB is for close contacts of a person with active TB to be screened by healthcare providers, as well as being conscious of symptoms and seeking medical care if any are experienced. It is no secret that HIV and TB infection form a lethal combination. This is mainly due to untreated HIV-positive individuals being considered at higher risk of contracting TB due to weakened immune systems. According to TBFacts.org, 360 000

individuals fell ill with TB in 2019 in South Africa, of which 58 000 died. Of these mortalities, 36 000 patients were reportedly infective with HIV. For this reason guidelines have been implemented by the National Department of Health, which gives every HIV-positive person in South Africa access to TB prevention therapy. Regrettably, the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed years of progress in providing TB services and in reducing the TB disease burden globally. WHO have noted the most obvious impact in a large drop in the number people newly diagnosed with TB. In 2020, the number of TB associated deaths had increased back to levels experienced in 2017, as a result of reduced access to TB diagnosis and treatment. WHO recommends, as an immediate priority, to urgently restore access and provision of essential TB services in an effort to mitigate and reverse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investment attraction, employment creation, expansion of revenue generation, rooting out corruption, improvement of staff morale, eliminating duplication of responsibilities, ensuring timeous completion of projects and rendering quality deliverables; these are but some amongst several tasks confronting KwaDukuza Municipality. One key issue which I believe stands out as an impending catastrophe and may prove a chief determinant in judging the performance of the incumbent administration is waste collection and the ability to deal with littering. A case in point is the tabling of the Draft Budget for the 2022/23 financial period. Since I happen to reside in one of the wards affected by this scourge of littering I feel that much can be done to change the picture for the better. But what

options are available for KwaDukuza Council to tackle waste and littering? Ultimately, the elimination of littering is dependent of the shift of mindset amongst the populace; and to achieve this will require time, resources and of course political will. However, in the interim one option which is deemed not only viable but valid could be the introduction of a roadside pick-up service in the affected areas which happen to be black townships. Like all services, the question of what will be the financing implications arises. Now, without projecting the payment of rates as a sole route to financing for the service yet it is a fact that there are hundreds of businesses that keep generating profits whilst not making any contribution to the community,

there are hundreds of homeowners who are earning far above the average income bracket and whose properties risk losing value because of the snail's pace in the rolling out of much needed services as well as the appalling conditions because of waste. Another option for the municipality to generate revenue which can be directed towards efforts could be the introduction of a surcharge to a target segment amongst those who reside in the formerly privileged areas. Without decisive leadership this matter will not be attended to with the urgency it deserves. And as long as we the residents of Greater Groutville area merely rely on the mercy of others to advocate for our interests the issue of waste will be with us for quite a time.

Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele conceded a penalty that Shomari Kapombe converted to give Simba of Tanzania a 1-0 win on Sunday in a CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final first leg. A scrappy affair before a capacity 60 000 crowd in Dar es Salaam appeared to be heading toward a goalless stalemate when disaster struck the Soweto Buccaneers on 68 minutes. Veteran Jele, a 35-year-old centreback who recently celebrated 400 appearances, recklessly clattered into former Pirate Bernard Morrison. The Tunisian referee immediately pointed to the spot as Jele and his team-mates protested and VAR confirmed that the original decision was correct. Tanzania international Kapombe took his time with the spot-kick, slowly moving toward the ball before sending former Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori the wrong way with a low shot into the corner. Pirates, whose cautious attitude from the kick-off at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium suggested they had

travelled to east Africa content to come away with a draw, suddenly became more adventurous. But an attack that included Namibian Deon Hotto and Ghanaian Kwame Peprah lacked firepower and never put Simba goalkeeper Aishi Manula under pressure. Simba comfortably retained the slender lead in a match that did not live up to its high-profile billing, leaving the outcome of the two-leg tie in the balance. The clubs meet again next Sunday at Orlando Stadium in Soweto and a boost for the South Africans is a recent government decision to allow spectators to return after a two-year ban owing to coronavirus. Crowds are permitted up to 50 percent of capacity, meaning Pirates can allow 20 000 supporters to cheer them on in the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League. While Pirates are unbeaten at home with three victories and a draw in the Confederation Cup, Simba have fared poorly away from Tanzania, drawing one match and losing three others.

KDM provided R5000,00 each to 80+ deserving students 80+ tertiary students coming from different parts of KwaDukuza have again this year benefitted from the annual student financial assistance programme by KwaDukuza Municipality. This programme is aimed at assisting potential students residing within KwaDukuza area of jurisdiction, who intend to further their studies in any of the reputable tertiary institution within the Republic of South Africa. This assistance only applied to applicants who were eligible to register or those who are already studying towards a full-time under graduate qualification (National Diploma or Degree) accredited by the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). This financial assistance offered annually, is only open to applicants who do not possess any other qualification, degree or diploma. Mayor Nhaca with KDM Councillors and beneficiaries of the 2022 KwaDukuza Municipality’s Financial Assistance Programme.

The purpose of the student financial assistance programme is to provide Registration/ Admission Fee assistance to the value of R 5 000.00 to academically deserving, needy and historically disadvantaged students. Minimum Selection Requirements include Grade 12 with University entrance/endorsement. Applicants must reside in KwaDukuza (and must produce an original Proof of residents). This is another way that KDM is heeding to the call for Free Education. This assistance will also be targeting returning students and is open to all fields of study. A minimum of 60% of the available budget has covered students who intend on pursuing non-scarce skills required by local government. Another 40% is then allocated to other scarce skills required by local government.

Learners of Nyakane Combined School heaped praises to Nhaca for restoring their dignity It was an emotive scene, at Nyakane Combined School when learners and educators heaped praises to the Mayor of KwaDukuza Cllr. Lindile Nhaca for providing the school's indigent pupils with much-needed relief – school shoes. The initiative was co-convened with Inkanyiso School KwaDukuza Mayor, Cllr. Lindile Nhaca with Nyakane Combined School pupil who was a Shoes, a social enterprise that believes in the beneficiary of the school shoes program. collective power to help South Africa’s children go from poverty to prosperity, following the realisation that countless children in KwaDukuza default from their schooling because they cannot afford a decent pair of shoes. These children endure difficult journeys to and from school each day, often over rough terrain and through harsh weather. At the conferral session to handover Nyakane Combined School’s 40 shoes, Mayor Nhaca said she was motivated by the initiative primarily as a parent and as a leader of the community because something as simple as a pair of shoes should not be a hurdle to a better life for children, especially in a community like KwaDukuza where many families are yet to have first-generation matriculants and tertiary students. “I believe in a society where every child is empowered to become better than their current situation and are nurtured to be tomorrow’s leaders. While inequality, poverty, and unemployment are complex and overwhelming, making a difference can be as simple as partnering together for a common purpose - giving the gift of a pair of school shoes, as we have done today with Inkanyiso,” commented Nhaca. Mayor Nhaca further stated that the children should be opened to cascading these shoes to their siblings if the shoes are still in a good condition but are no longer of use to the current beneficiaries. Mrs Mthethwa, Deputy Principal at the school thanked the municipality for this initiative and was adamant that theirs, as educators, would be to work harder and to fortify all efforts to make the school a better and safe environment.

KwaDukuza elects ward committees

Residents of Ward 14 gathered at the Lloyd Community Hall to elect their Ward Committee representatives for the 2021-2026 electoral term. Understanding that the public participation process plays a vital part to our democracy by allowing our citizens to get involved in how their communities are governed. At local government level the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998, requires, among others, that municipalities develop mechanisms to consult communities and community organisations in performing their functions and exercising its powers. It is for this reason that in the past weeks, KwaDukuza Municipality embarked on its programme to hold ward committee elections throughout its 30 wards. These structures are commonly known as Ward Committees, and they provide a vital link between Ward Councillors, the community and the municipality. They allow for members of communities to influence municipal planning in a manner which best addresses their needs. According to legislation, the first meeting of the newly elected council must take place within 14 days after the election results are gazetted. The information given below gives a clear understanding on the importance of having ward committees, their electoral process and responsibilities 1. Why are ward committees important? Ward committees are crucial in the local government system as they are the link between the councillor and the community. The ward committee system is also said to play a critical role in giving meaning to the notion of “the people shall govern”. This is so because local government is regarded as the level of government closest to the people and ward committees are just one way to ensure that citizens give input to the decisions that local councils make. The South African Local Government Association, which is the sole representative of all municipalities, says ward committees are also important in fostering relations between ward councillors and key stakeholders at ward level, such as traditional councils and community development workers. 2. Terms of office for ward committees The terms of office of ward committees are aligned to that of municipal councils and the municipality must, as soon as possible after the results of the elections have been declared, arrange ward meetings in order for the interest groups in the ward to be identified and subsequently for the ward committees to be elected, according to the system applicable in each respective municipality. 3. Election of ward committees SALGA has developed a Code of Conduct for Ward Committee Members, which are available at all municipalities. However, municipal councils must make the rules regarding the election of ward committee members, including how often meetings take place and the dissolution of ward committees.

Volume 1

The Speaker shall call a meeting in the ward for the election of a ward committee. Nominations shall be open for 10 but not more than 15 nominees. Closure of nominations may be proposed when there are 10 nominations and, if carried, there shall be no voting if nominations exceed 10, then voting shall take place. The ward councillor and Community Participation and Action Support Unit must ensure that meetings are a fair representation of all recognised sectors identified by the municipality and a quorum of at least 100 qualifying community members are present to vote. An attendance register must also be completed. 4. What are the functions of ward committees? A ward committee may make recommendations on any matter affecting its ward to the ward councillor, or through the ward councillor to the municipal council, the executive committee or support committee. The ward committee will be regarded as the statutory structure recognised by the municipal council as its consultative body and communication channel on matters affecting the ward, including, but not limited to: - representing the community on the compilation and implementation of the Integrated Development Plan; - ensuring constructive and harmonious interaction between the municipality and the community; - attending to all matters that affect and benefit the community; - acting in the best interest of the community, and - ensuring active participation of the community in the municipality’s budgetary process. 5. More facts on ward committees - Ward committees are made up of representatives of a particular ward. - They are made up of members who represent various interests within the ward. - Ward committees are chaired by the ward councillor. - They are meant to be an institutionalised channel of communication and interaction between communities and municipalities. - Wards give community members the opportunity to express their needs, their opinions on issues that affect their lives and to have them heard at the municipal level via the ward councillor. - Wards are advisory bodies created within the sphere of civil society to assist the ward councillor in carrying out his or her mandate in the most democratic manner possible.

Kungalesi sizathu umaspala waKwaDukuza uqale olwawo uchungechunge lwemhlangano yokukhethwa kwamakomidi ezentuthuko yomphakathi kuzona zonke izigceme ezingama-30 ngaphansi kukalo maspala. Lezi zakhiwo zidume kakhulu ngelamakomidi ezigceme, kanti izona ezihlanganisa amaKhansela, umphakathi kanye nomaspala. Izona ezilekelela amalungu omphakathi ukuthi agqugquzele ezokuhlelwa kumaspala ukuthi zime ngendlela ezokwazi ukubhekelela izidingo zawo. Ngokomthetho, umhlangano wokuqala woMkhandlu omusha kumaspala kufanele ube ngemumva kwezinsuku eziyi-14 uma imphumela yokhetho isishicilelwe phansi ngokusemthethweni. Le mininingwane engezansi ikubeka ngokucacile ukuze uqonde ukubaluleka kokuba nalama komidi, ukukhethwa kwawo nemsebenzi yawo. 1. Abaluleke ngani amakomidi ezigceme?

kwamalungu amakomidi ezigceme, kubalwa nokuthi imhlangano kufanele ihlale kangakanani kanjalo nokuchithwa kwawo lamakomidi. USomlomo kumele abize umhlangano wokukhetha amalungu ekomidi kuleso sgceme. Ukhetho kumele luvuleleke kubantu abawu-10, bangeqi kwabangu-15. Kungaba nesiphakamiso sokuvalwa kokhetho uma sebevele bekhethiwe abangu-10, ukuze kungabi nakhetho. Kepha uma kuze kweqa kwabangu-10 kuye kufuneke ukuthi kuvotwe.

Kanye nohlu lwamagama alabo abayingxenye yomhlangano kumele lugcwalisiwe. 4. Uyini umsebenzi wamakomidi ezigceme? Ikomidi lesgceme lingazenza izincomo eKhanseleni kunoma iluphi udaba oluthinta isgceme salo. Noma lwenze lezo zincomo kanye noKhansela emkhandlwini kamaspala, esigungwini sekomidi eliphezulu noma ikomidi lokweseka. Ikomidi lesgceme lithatheka njengesakhiwo esisemthethweni nesisebenzisana nomkhandlu njengokuyiwona mzimba owumgudu wezokuxhumana ezintweni ezithinta isgceme, zihlanganisa kodwa zingamile kulokhu okulandelayo:

Amakomidi ezigceme abaluleke kakhulu kwinqubo yezohulumeni basemakhaya njengoba kuyiwona axhumanisa kalula iKhansela kanye nomphakathi. Inqubo yalamakomidi kuvela nokuthi idlala enkulu indima ekunikezeleni ngencazelo kulesi sisho esithi “mababuse abantu”. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ezohulumeni basemakhaya zithathwa njengalona zinga likahulumeni elisondelene kakhulu nabantu, kanti nalama komidi angenye yezindlela zokuqinisekisa ukuthi abahlali kuba khona abakushoyo kwizinqumo ezenziwa imkhandlu yomaspala.

- Ukumela umphakathi ekuqoqweni nasekwenziweni kweziNhlelo zeNtuthuko edidiyelwe;

- Ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza ngokuzimisela komphakathi ohlelweni lwesabelo-mali sikamaspala.

2. Iskhathi esibekelwe ukusebenza kwamakomidi ezigceme Iskhathi esibekelwe ukusebenza kwamakomidi ezigceme sincike eskhathini semkhandlu yomaspala. Umaspala kufuneka ukuthi ngokushesha ngemumva kokuphuma kwemphumela yokhetho, uhlele imhlangano yezigceme ukuze kutholakale lawo maqoqo abantu asesigcemeni ngasinye nanesifiso sokuthi akhetheke njengamalungu amakomidi ezigceme, ngokwenqubo evumelekile kulowo nalowo maspala.

- Ukuqinisekisa ukwakha ubudlelwano obuhle phakathi kukamaspala nomphakathi; - Ukuhambela zonke izindaba ezikhinyabeza inzuzo yomphakathi; - Ukusebenzela ukusizakala komphakathi;

3. Ukukhethwa kwamakomidi ezigceme

- Izigceme zinikeza amalungu omphakathi ithuba lokucela izidingo zawo, izimvo zabo ezintweni ezithinta izimpilo zabo, nokwenza ukuthi balalelwe ezingeni likamaspala ngokuthumela iKhansela lesigceme sabo.

Usoseshini kaSALGA usuwasungula umgomo wokuziphatha kwamalungu amakomidi ezigceme, netholakala kubona bonke omaspala. Kepha, imkhandlu yomaspala kumele yenze imthetho emayelana nokukhethwa

- Izigceme ziyimzimba yokubonisana eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ezinhlakeni ezahlukene ezikulowo mphakathi ukusiza uKhansela wesgceme ekwenzeni umsebenzi wakhe ngendlela enentando yabantu.
