Members of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature embarked on the annual Schools Functionality Programme on 17 and 18 February 2021 to assess the state of readiness in different schools for the beginning of the 2021 academic year. District Champion MEC, Hon. Peggy Nkonyeni and the Chairperson of the Education Portfolio in the Legislator Hon. Jomo Sibiya led the delegation to Maphumulo and Ndwedwe schools where schools including Sotobe secondary, Ozwathini Primary. Gcinimfundo High, Qalimfundo Primary, Qwabe Secondary, Hlalakahle Primary, Hluphizwe and Hlangabeza High

KZN legislature embarks on school monitoring programme in Ilembe were visited. This programme, on its seventh year this year, offers Members of the Legislature an opportunity to engage members of the community and stakeholders including the Office of the Head of Department Champion Mr. Thando Tubane, senior officials in the iLembe District Department of Education, school governing bodies, councillors, relevant

departments such as Public Works, Social Development, SAPS etc. as they seek their views on how best teaching and learning can be improved. This year, focus was on COVID-19 and availability of Personal Protective Equipment, availability of key resources, staffing, Teacher-Learner Support Material among others. The delegation was joined by other stakeholders including relevant organized labour and traditional leadership. Members inspected a number of things including AYESHA VADIA whether schooling began on (B. Pharm) the first day of school, the delivery of stationery, the JUNAID VADIA (Dip. Psychology) availability of teaching staff, school infrastructure and Lindley Street, (opp. CheckMart), Stanger Telefax: 032 551 2703 adherence to COVID regulations etc. Learner transport, lack of or unconducive ablution

facilities, shortage of classrooms and shortage of teachers were some of the common challenges met by the schools visited. MEC Nkonyeni said she was worried about asbestos n schools and called for the removal of asbestos in schools, “I know there is a government program to the effect and that because of resources, it is not moving at a pace that one would like however one needs to mention this because it affects teaching and learning. Asbestos causes an illness called asbestosis that affects school children who are in class for six to seven hours a day. Some even sleep in schools. That is why a decision was taken to even remove asbestos in homes. As a department of Human Settlements in the province we are busy with removing asbestos in homes particularly in townships. We definitely need to prioritise schools,” said Nkonyeni.

As a way forward, short term interventions were made where necessary including requests for District Education Department to install mobile toilets in some schools while long term inventions are actioned. Speaking at the last school, member of legislator Hon. Jomo Sibiya commended the principal of Hlalakahle Primary School in KwaNyuswa, Ndwedwe for culture he has instilled in the school, “We always encourage principals to not just follow processes and policies from government alone but to add their own personal way of doing things. The culture in this school is amazing and we can rest easy knowing that there are children in Ndwedwe who come from disadvantaged communities who can compete with learners from other well-to-do schools,” said Sibiya.

within the community. According to ward 15 Councillor, P. Mabaso the Ntshawini area is amongst areas that are troubled by the high rate of crime, “These interventions will yield positive results but we must work harder to ensure safer communities throughout KwaDukuza. We also know that we cannot win the fight on crime without the active support of communities and

individuals,” said the Cllr Mabaso. The Cllr further urged residents to be vigilant residents to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity to SAPS, “Please remember that there are those who walk our streets with nothing better to do than look for an opportunity to

steal something. As a community we need to deny them these opportunities,” said the councillor. In conclusion Cllr Mabaso commended the law enforcement for its attempt to reduce the number of crime activities in KwaDukuza and surrounding areas.

Cele releases quarter three 2020/2021 crime stats

MINISTER: The quarterly crime statistics show an increase in murder and rape cases committed between the level 1 and adjusted level 3 lockdown. According to Minister of Police Bheki Cele, who released the statistics in Hatfield, Pretoria last week.

On Friday 20 February 2021 Police Minister Bheki Cele released quarter three 2020/2021 crime statistics. In the three months from October to December last year, the country saw a 6.6% increase in the murder rate. This is according to the third quarter national crime statistics, covering the period between level 1 and adjusted level 3 lockdown, which kicked in in midDecember. On Friday police minister Bheki Cele said the statistics expose some of the gaps that exist in policing certain crime categories, “The national crime statistics from October to

December 2020 do not paint a good picture and hence force us as the police to dig deep and put the shoulder to the wheel. This means 389 more people were killed compared to the corresponding period in the previous financial year,” said Cele. A total of 2 481 people were murdered in public places and 1643 murders occurred at the home of the victim or of the perpetrator. Liquor outlets were the third most likely place to be killed in South Africa. Overall, contact crimes committed against a person decreased by 1.4%. A 5% increase has, however, been

recorded for sexual offences detected as a result of police action. A total of 12 218 people were raped between October and December last year. This is an increase of 181 cases, amounting to a 1.5% increase compared to the previous reporting period. Over 4900 of the rape incidents took place at the home of the victim or the home of the rapist. Inanda, Umlazi in KwaZuluNatal and the Eastern Cape's Lusikisiki police stations recorded the highest incidents of rape. Cele slammed claims that there was a shortage of rape kits in police stations.

Child abuse is a crime - “Love your Child”

Child abuse as a single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action which happens in relationships were there supposed to be trust but instead causes harm and distress to the child. Child abuse happens when someone caring for a child hurts a child's feelings or body. It can happen to boys or girls when their feeling hurt it causes emotional trauma that last long after a hurt body has healed. Different types of child abuse: • Physical abuse - Is when a child's body has been hurt. Hit hard with a hand or an object that can leave bruises or cuts and cause pain. Shaking, pushing, choking,

punching, painful grabbing, and kicking also can be physical abuse. • Sexual abuse - sexual abuse involve a close trusted adult or family member who abuses the child's trust. Often, the child is pressured or talked into the activity, offered gifts, or asked to keep secrets, not physically forced into it. • Emotional abuse - Is when adults caring for a child judge, threaten, put down or reject kids or teens, withholding love so the child feels bad about themselves or worthless. • Neglect - which is the failure to provide for a child's basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, love

and affection or much-needed medical care when the parent or caregiver is able to do so. Child abuse is often caused by people close to the child parents, caregivers, family friends, close relatives, teachers and coaches who are often known to the child. For example, parents who always say negative things to a child, or have a hard time talking about their children's injuries or behavioural problems or show little concern or affection to the child. Signs of child abuse, Children often find it difficult to speak about abuse the signs you can look for are, have stories to explain injuries that don't make sense or keep changing,

not want to go home to avoid being with the abuser, show signs of emotional trauma, like fear, anger, or trouble relating to or trusting others, sad or depressed etc. Parents and family are recognised as the first duty-bearers to ensure the safety of a child at all times. Children should be taught the basic rules of safety and be supervised by responsible adults at all times. The Children's Act 38 of 2005 mandates specific categories of people involved with children (e.g. correctional officials, teachers, medical practitioners, traditional leaders or volunteers) who on reasonable grounds conclude that a child has been treated in a manner causing physical injury, sexually abused or deliberately neglected, to

report that conclusion on a Form 22 to a designated child protection organisation , the Provincial Department of Social Development or a police official (section 110(1)). This report should give a clear indication of the urgency and the level of danger the child is in. A voluntary report may be made in terms of section 110(2) by any person who on reasonable grounds believes that a child is in need of care and protection (as per section 150(1)). A report can be made orally, telephonically, or in writing Child protection services may require evidence of patterns of harm or mental injury to the child as part of their investigation and assessment into the congruence of the facts and explanations. Information will be assessed within a multi-disciplinary team. Report child abuse to child lines 24-hour free helpline 0800055555

KZN launches Covid-19 vaccine rollout programme

(Formerly known as Curtain & Home)

By Xpress Reporter

KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Sihle Zikalala and Health MEC, Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu officially launched the vaccine roll-out programme at Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in Umlazi on 18 February 2021. The province has received 10,800 of the 80,000 Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses that have touched down in the country so far. Sihle Zikalala said vaccine rollout programme heralds the glimmer of hope, “The answer to the commonly asked question of why we are starting this vaccination with healthcare workers is simple: They are 3-4 times more likely than the general population to develop COVID-19. And COVID 19 cases affect 1 in 7 health workers globally. To date, 15400 KwaZulu-Natal health workers have developed COVID19, with 323 of these valued colleagues sadly passing on,” said Zikalala Zikalala said the OxfordAstraZeneca (CoviShield) vaccine has many advantages, such as the fact that it has 57% protection against moderate to severe infection with the new variant of Covid-19, and has 57% protection against moderate to severe infection with the new variant of Covid-19, “It is also extremely easy to roll-out, with a shelf life of up to 2 years at -20°C. It can be stored at normal fridge temperature for 3 months; and the fact that it is a single shot vaccine,” added Zikalala.

One of the most expensive rental properties in the area of Etete in Ward 20 is a crumbling structure that is hardly habitable by normal human standards, which has been neglected for years. This is according to the people who occupy the property along R102. And the property is partially burnt! Unfortunately for the occupants, who depend on social grants for their living, the owner of this dilapidated property is now demanding premium rent for the units, some of which have leaking roofs and cracked walls. And the property has got no proper toilet facilities. To aggravate the plight of the occupants, the landlord has allegedly threatened to evict them without following due legal process, should they fail to comply with her demands. One of the tenants who also faces eviction is Ms Thembeni Bhengu (70), who is blind. Gogo Bhengu recently moved into a threeroom unit on the property,

Press intimidate our reporter by demanding to know who gave permission to the reporter to visit the property. “I won't speak to your voice. I don't even know who you are. I don't know you, your voice sounds very nervous. You (are going to) have to excuse me,” she said impetuously before hanging up. Ward 20 Councillor Promise Dube said according to her understanding, the said property, which suffered partial fire damages a few years ago, has been occupied by a succession of people, many of them being foreign nationals, ever since “I was still in school”. Cllr Dube said the municipality was facing serious challenges in Etete from land owners who were looking to “double dip” by selling their land to Council, and thereafter continue to charge rent from occupants or to again sell the same land to unsuspecting private buyers. She promised to visit the property to establish the exact circumstances.

ETETE: Ward Councillor of Ward 07, Cllr. Bonginkosi Dindi assists the alien plants' clearance team to clear the bush outside Etete Primary ahead of the tree feeling process that is expected to be completed by end of February.

KwaDukuza Municipality has partnered with the KwaZuluNatal Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) to restore natural habitats in the area with the Alien Invasive Clearance Project at Zilungisele and Etete Primary Schools. The KwaDukuza Municipality has a mandate in terms of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEM: BA) (Act No. 10 of 2004) to limit further loss of biodiversity and conserve endangered ecosystems, ensure ecologically sustainable development and protection of biodiversity. To realise this mandate, the municipality has commenced with an initiative to remove alien invasive plants and restore indigenous vegetation at these interrupted habitats. The premise for this initiative is that alien plants take up and store water which therefore suffocates and kills indigenous plants, this also impacts the water quality and quantity in many of our areas. Furthermore, these alien species outcompete indigenous plants, the animals and bird species that nestle and feed off the indigenous plants lose their habitats, consequently resulting in their migration.

The Etete Primary School is highly infested with Gum Trees within the school, outside the fenced area of the school it is infested with Lantana Camara, Bugweed, Chromolaena Odorata, Brazilian Pepper, Seringa Berry, Gum Tree, Bugweed and Giant Bamboo where Etete River runs. The project is going to be used as a pilot project for many other related projects in the future i.e., transformative riverine, herbicide administration for alien clearance. The project seeks to create climate change resilience in communities, provide socio-economic benefits through job creation and skills development through biodiversity enhancement for the beneficiaries in order to improve their daily livelihoods. At Zilungisele and Etete Primary schools based in Wards 9 and 7 respectively, the environmental management unit received concerns pertaining to alien plants whose existence has affected these schools on many fronts, hence, the municipality in partnership with EDTEA launched the Alien Invasive Clearance Project, and the first project site is Etete primary school where clearance of the alien plants commenced on the 18th of F e b r u a r y 2 0 2 0 . Currently, KwaDukuza Municipality is working with

schools within its jurisdiction to raise awareness around areas of biodiversity, climate change programmes, food gardens, recycling, and commemoration of environmental calendar days. During these interactions, the environmental management unit gathers their needs and try to find solutions to assist the schools on environmental challenges. The river is used for domestic purposes by farm dwellers as well as the sugar cane farmer and turf grass farming. The gum trees within the property are a lightning hazard, and should they fall they can demolish the little farm school. They take up space which could be used for school expansion and sportsfield. The fields are extremely dry even though the school is settled within a flood plain of the river. Once the project reaches the final stage of clearing the alien plants, the Environmental Management Unit will conduct a MiniSass water testing and monitoring project, this is a testing tool that checks the invertebrates that are within the river to determine the water quality. This activity will further the environmental awareness on river health, waste management and determine the benefits of the removal of the alien invasive species.

KwaDukuza mourns the loss of a legend Whilst the COVID pandemic continues on its vicious path, KwaDukuza yet again mourns another loss claimed by this pandemic, Adhimoolam 'Moola' Moodley, who sadly passed last week, 15 February 2021. Moola, fondly remembered for his love of soccer and sports as a whole and contribution to the community, has left a huge gap. Moola started playing soccer for Swans and then joined Town View sporting. He thereafter formed the Glenhills Sport Club where he served as Manager and Coach. Moola also played for the over 35 team for Glenhills and Railways team from Tongaat. As part of his community

such a success that it was to become an annual event. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow us to have the 2020 soccer day, which was postponed for early 2021. Moola had such great plans for this event but will not be around to see it through however he will always be with us in spirit.” Yvonne Naidoo posted: “RIP Moola Moodley, you will be missed. Will cherish the times we spent on and of the soccer fields.” Mkhize Mlungisi Maswidi posted: “A very heartbreaking loss. RIP Moola Moodley. Will never forget the love and respect you showed me during my footballing days. Picking me up after school with your fancy cars made me look cool as a young black kid. Thank you sir for everything.” Some of the memories of a person who served the community with his soul, never once asking for anything in return. Rest in peace Mr Adhimoolam Moodley. KwaDukuza mourns.

initiatives, Moola started an academy for under privileged boys, where he coached soccer. He was part of the Glenhills Helping Hands where he was deeply involved in community work. Moola also operated a taxi from Glenhills to Stanger. Tributes poured in after it became known of his passing away. Social media was flooded with tributes and praises for this a kind gentleman who found a way into everyone's heart. Some of the tributes are: “I, Francis Moonsamy, Chairman of the Lower Tugela Soccer Federation Reunion Committee, was assisted by Moola in hosting our first soccer reunion in 2019. M o o l a w a s instrumental in getting most of the clubs to participate. He was the live wire of the Organising Committee. This event was

Manchester City cruise towards Premier League title continued unabated with a 1-0 win at Arsenal as the race for a top-four finish and the riches of the Champions League next season intensified. Everton and West Ham's victories over Liverpool and Tottenham have further opened up the opportunity for two teams outside the traditional top six to break into the Champions League.

City flex strength in depth Pep Guardiola made five changes for City's trip to Arsenal but the result was still a

predictable one as the visitors came away with their 18th consecutive win in all competitions having kept a 10th clean sheet in 13 league games. Kevin De Bruyne returned to make his first start in a month, but the fact City have not missed a beat without the Belgian represents the gulf that exists between them and the chasing pack. Guardiola's men have now taken more points than Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal combined in 2021. In a season defined by fixture congestion and an injury pileup that has decimated Liverpool's title defence, City's strength in depth has become all the more important. Despite no pre-season and the physical

demands of a congested calendar, City remain on course for a historic quadruple of trophies. They hold a 10point lead at the top of the table, face struggling Spurs in the League Cup final, will travel to Everton in the FA Cup quarterfinals and resume their Champions League campaign against Borussia Monchengladbach tonight. “We need everyone,” said Guardiola. “We have to play every three days. I am going to rotate the team even in Champions League. It's impossible to sustain this rhythm with just 11 players.”

Moyes gets better of Mourinho Hired to save West Ham from

Liverpool's fortress in ruins

Hand Sanitizers

Everton had failed to win in their previous 20 short trips across Liverpool to Anfield in the past 22 years, but knew they would rarely get a better chance than on Saturday in front of empty stands. Jurgen Klopp restored the mystique of Anfield both in the minds of his own players and the opposition. For nearly four years between April 2017 and last month, Liverpool did not lose a league match at home. With Everton winning 2-0, Liverpool have now lost four in a row for the first time since 1923.

relegation last season, David Moyes has undergone a remarkable transformation from fire to fighter to dream maker at the London Stadium. Sunday's 2-1 win against Tottenham that lifted the Hammers into fourth place was the Scotsman's first in 16 meetings against Jose Mourinho. Spurs' moody Portuguese boss insisted afterwards that he is still one of the best coaches in the world. But it is Moyes who is restoring his reputation this season after difficult spells at Manchester United, Sunderland and Real Sociedad. Tipped by many to go down at the start of the season, seven wins in their last nine league games have propelled the Hammers into fourth.
