Election postertransgressorsface finesDUMISANI ZONDI>>[email protected]

HEFTY municipal fines await politicalparties which have failed to removetheir election posters and banners

past the stipulated time of 14 days afterthe elections.

The last general elections were held on7 May and the 14 days lapsed last Wednes­day (21 May) but posters of political par­ties, including the ANC, DA, ACDP, IFP, AZA­PO and NFP still continue to festoon mu­nicipal electricity lamp poles and trees.

Although they seem to have beencleared in the CBD, election posters are stillvisible in areas such as Imbali, Sobantu aswell as Raisethorpe.

Posters that can be seen in Raisethorpeare those of the ACDP and NFP, while inother areas they are predominantly of theANC and DA.

It isnotclearwhythepartieshavefailedto take them down as they are aware ofthe by­laws of the Msunduzi Municipality.

Some of the parties were pleading pov­ertyduringtheelectionseason,sayingtheydid not have sponsors. Now they face fur­ther financial woes if the municipality en­forces its election by­laws.

In terms of its by­laws, the MsunduziMunicipality charges R110­58 per posterthat is not removed in the allotted time pe­riod.

Speaking to Echo both the ANC and DAon Tuesday said they have people who aretaking care of their respective electionposters.

Moses Mabhida ANC regional secretary,Supa Zuma, said the problem is that theANC is a big party and it is not possible toclear all the posters and banners in onesweep.

He said they have removed almost allof their election posters in the CBD but ad­mits that there are still some posters inother areas.

“I have seen that myself but we are notthe only party. In fact all political partiesstill have posters up. We have put togetherateamthatwilldothelastsweeptoensurethat there are no posters left behind,” hesaid, adding that they had about 30 000posters within the Msunduzi municipality.

Asked if they are prepared to pay the

fines, he said that will be dealt with in dis­cussions with the relevant authorities.

DA KZN leader Sizwe Mchunu said hisparty hired contractors to remove the elec­tion posters, but he himself has noticedthat there are still areas with their electionposters up.

“I have seen them, I don’t know the rea­sons. It could just be that we are trailingbehind,”said Mchunu.

He said the DA Pietermaritzburg lead­ership is dealing with the matter.

Municipal spokesperson, Thobeka Ma­fumbatha, said that in term of the by­laws,an election advertisement may be dis­played from the beginning of the day ofdeclaration of an election to the end of thefourteenth day after the election.

“Any person who fails to remove anyposter, banner, flag or election advertise­ment within the prescribed period shall beguilty of an offence,” she said.

According to Mafumbatha, the munici­pality shall be entitled to remove any suchadvertisement and deduct the prescribedamount from any deposit made in respectof the advertisement so removed by themunicipality.

If the amount to be deducted exceedsthe amount of the deposit made, the mu­nicipality shall be entitled to recover theexcess amount.

Mafumbatha said there is no timeframe in their by­laws about billboards asthe space is leased or bought by a politicalpartyfromtheownerofthatparticularbill­board.

“We have observed that a number ofposters have been removed and those thathave not will be contacted,” she said.

Edendale FET strike due to delayed results

NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>nompendulo.ngubane@mye­cho.co.za

DELAYEDresults for theprevi-ous trimester, delayed trans-port allowances and being

underminedaresomeofthereasonsthat led to a strike at the EdendaleFET College campus on Tuesday.

According to the deputy presi-dent of the SRC, Sakhiwo Zuma, thestudents decided not continue withlecturesduetotheirpendingresults.

Zuma said that the delayedresults have become a concerningmatter.Someofthestudentsarecon-tinuing with lectures without beingregistered for thenext level, he said.

“No one from the campus wasclear as to when the results will beout. As students, we felt that it waslong overdue and we were notgetting answers from anyone at thecampus. Another issue is thatstudents have not been given their

transport allowance from the insti-tution. We are in the month of Mayand not one student has receivedtheir transport allowance,” saidZuma.

He added that they are expectedtoattendlecturesbuthavenomoneyfor transport.

“We havemet withmanagementand told them about a place in thecollege that is a snake zone. Thatplaceisclosetothestudent’sparkingand it has a lot of snakes. We haveraised thoseconcernswithmanage-mentbuttheyhavenotpaidmuchat-tention. There are dangerouspythonsthathavebeenseenbysomeof the students but nothinghasbeendone. We are the most underminedFETCollege inUMgungundlovu.Weare not updated of anything con-cerning the campus and otherimportant issues that we have toknow about,” he said.

A student who asked not to benamed said the issue of results is

frustrating.“Whathappens is thatwecontin-

ue to the next trimester withoutknowing the results of the previoustrimester. That is one of the reasonswe are striking.

“If one has failed the previoustrimester, thereisnotenoughtimetostudy for the subjects that we havefailed as the results are given to usvery late,” said the student.

FET College spokesperson, LynnHoran, said that the SRC and theprincipal met and discussed theissues yesterday (Tuesday).

Shesaid theyhavesentqueries tothedepartmentofHigherEducationto find out what is delaying theresults of the students.

“The SRC and the principal aremeeting today (Wednesday) to dis-cuss the issueof the transportallow-ance.

“We can confirm that the collegeisquietandthestudentsareinclass,”she said.

“After the incident where we lost one of ourcolleagues,weengagedsomanymunicipalitiestoadviseusastowhattheyhaveintermsofpro-tection for their staff. In the end, we came upwith this protective suit.

ECHO 11TALKING TOURISMDUMISANI MHLONGO: DIRECTOR OF THE MSUNDUZI PIETERMARITZBURG TOURISM ASSOCIATION

TWOweeksago, theuMgungundlovuLiberation Heritage Route waslaunched at the Old Prison.

A high profile event attended byuMgungundlovuDistrictMayorYusufBhamjee, who is a champion of theproject, Minister of Education DrBlade Nzimande, KZN MEC for Fi-nanceInaCronje,DeputyMinister forJusticeJohnJeffreysandmanymore.

Heritage is our legacy from thepast - what we live with today andwhatwepasson to the futuregenera-tions.

Our cultural andnatural heritagesareourstrongestsourcesoflife,inspi-ration and our identity. HeritageTourismofferstheopportunitytopor-tray the past in the present.

Tourism on the other hand is animportant industry, and a powerfuleconomic development tool based onlocalheritageresources (ie:anyplaceorobjectofculturalsignificance,bothintangible and tangible, is deemed tobe of cultural significance).

The new growth path, as demon-stratedbyMzansi’sGoldenEconomy,states thatheritage, aswell as cultureand arts should go beyond social co-hesion and nourishing the soul of thenation,andshouldbegintoplayapiv-otal role in the economic empower-mentandskillsdevelopmentofapeo-

ple.Cultural or heritage tourism is im-

portant for its positive economic andsocial impact.

Economically, heritage tourismcan be a source of revenue that is ca-pable of creating jobs, providing newbusiness opportunities and strength-ening local economies, increasepropertyvaluesandopportunities fordiversified economies.

Many local municipalities sufferthe absence of tourism products, yetthey have powerful liberation herit-age iconsexistingwithin them.These

canbeusedtoignitetourismactivitiesas ithashappened inothercountries.

Msunduzi Pietermaritzburg Tour-ism has been identified as an impor-tant partner and will package this asa tourismproduct anddrive skills de-velopmentprogrammesfor thebene-fit of communitieswithinandbeyondthe district municipality.

The protection of Cultural Herit-age is a challenge for developingcountries like South Africa, particu-larly where heritage sites are widelyspread in rural areas andmaynot in-clude impressive buildings andmon-

uments. A potential solution to theproblem, adopted by a growingnumber of developing countries, is tolink smaller, local sites together intoa heritage route, which is then mar-keted as a package.

This dynamic exists within theUmgungundlovu District Municipali-tyandsuchanapproachmaybeideal.

AsIapplaudedthis initiative, Iwasremindedthattourismisgovernmentled (which puts the focus on the Um-gungundlovu District Municipality todeliver on infrastructural needs),private sectordriven (that itwill needstrong partnership as a tourismproduct) and community based(community involvement andbenefi-ciation).

ON a mission to combat illegaldumping, the Green Networkin partnership with the Duzi

Umngeni Conservation Trust (Duct)and Keep Pietermaritzburg CleanAssociation (KPCA), recently cleanedtwo dumping sites in the Ashdown

area.The project, which will be rolled

out inareas suchas Imbali, Edendaleand Thembalihle near Eastwood, isaimed at educating people about thenegative impact of illegal dumpingand the importance of keeping theenvironment clean.

“We discovered that people werediscarding disposable nappies there

becausemunicipalgarbage trucksdonot pick them up.

“It started with one personthrowing them there, and the rest ofthe community followed the trendand it became a dumping site.

“People litter because they do notknowwhatkindofenvironmental im-pact it has.

“We have also formed an

environmental committee within thecommunity, so that they will monitorthe site on a regular basis to ensurethat the place is clean.

“We are also hoping to formpartnerships with local authoritiesand manufacturers of thesedisposable nappies in order toeliminate illegal dumping,” saidproject co-ordinator Xolile Ngubo.

Pupils of nearby schoolswere alsotaught how to take care of rivers andthe importance of recycling.

“We have a serious challengewhen it comes to illegal dumping.

We feel that somehow themunicipalityisresponsibleforthis,astheir garbage trucks do not takedisposable nappies, away with therest of the rubbish,” she said.

Ukuthathaizinto kalulakungakulalisa esitokisini

NGIBONE kahle ngoLwesih­lanu ekuseni ngifika esikhu­mulweni sezindiza esikhulu

eNingizimu Afrika, i­O.R. Tamboukuthi kulula kangakanani ukulalaezitokisini uma uthatha izinto ka­lula.

Bengihamba nozakwethu on­gumhleli omkhulu ophikwenilwamaphephandaba om­phakathi kwaMedia 24 KwaZulu­Natal uDesiree Erasmus siphikele­le emcimbini wokuklomelisaabahlabene ngezindlela ezahl­ukene kwezobuntatheli.

Lapha kuklonyeliswa izintath­eli emikhakheni ehlukene,namaphephandaba jikelele.Kodwa­ke lolu daba angiluqondis­ile kakhulu emcimbini wezintath­eli. Luqondene nami ngqo. Ngazikahle ukuthi abangani bami aba­holwa nguNyikinyibhoxo bazothingidlala ukuguga nokuba novaloentanyeni.

Bengingaphethe imithwaloeminingi ngoba bengizobuyangakusasa. Bengiphethe ‘umshiniwami’ wokuthwebula nesikhwa­ma esimnyama sesudi ebengi­zoyigqoka emcimbini ebusuku.

Insizwa eyemukela abagibeliebhanoyini icele ukungibekelaisikhwama sami egunjini okuleng­iswa kulo izimpahla bese ngisith­

atha uma sengiphuma. Izihlalozethu sinoDesiree beziphakathinendawo.

Beligcwele ibhanoyi, iningi la­bagibeli kungamaqabane ka­Khongolose abelibambise kom­khulu ePitoli. Omunye walamaqa­bane bekunguSam Kikine,isishoshovu esazakhela igama sil­wela abasebenzi ngezikhathi kus­abusa uhulumeni wobandlululo.

Naye umfo kaKikine ubephet­he isikhwama esifana ncamashinesami, naso sabekwa egunjini el­ifanayo nokubekwe lona esami.

Uma sekuphunywa ebhanoyi­ni, wehla kuqala umfo kaKikinewamane wathatha isikhwama es­imnyama wasilengisa ehlombe,zaya.

Uma sengifika kuleligumbiobekubekwe kulona isikhwamasami, asisekho kukhona esinezim­pahla engingazazi. Nginelengasho ukuthi akusona esami lesosikhwama, yasuka inhlamvu lensizwa ebingibekele sona ijahe

ebhasini elilayisha abagibeli libay­isa ngaphakathi esikhumulwenisezindiza, yasithola kumfo kaKik­ine.

Umane wazihlekela umfokaKikine wathi: “Yo!, akukona uk­ufana kwezikhwama lokhu.”

Nanxa kungesisona isigamekoesitheni lesi, ngifikelwe wum­cabango wokuthi kusukela ezig­amekweni ezinjengalezi, zokunga­jwayeli ukucophelela ukuthi aban­ye abantu bagcine ezitokisini.

Ngicabange ukuthi ukuba esin­ye salezi zikhwama besilayisheokuthile okungekho emthethwe­ni, bese kubanjwa ngamaphoyisa,bekuzokwenzekani kulowo esi­banjwe kuyena?.

Bekuyothatha isikhathi esin­gakanani ukuthi kutholakaleiqiniso? Thina sikhule kukhonaamaphoyisa anezinhliziyo ezin­cane amane akuvalele phakathiathi: “Uyochaza phambili.”

Konke lokhu kudalwa ukut­hatha izinto kalula. Noma ngabekungasatholakalanga izinto ez­ingekho emthethweni, kunok­wenzeka kube khona ongathem­bekile kulaba abathathe izikhwa­ma okungezona ezabo besebekhangwa okuthile okunge­sikhona okwabo, bagcine ngokuk­wenza okwabo bese bethiabakubonanga. Ngikholwa ukuthiliyezwakala iphuzu engizama uku­libeka, lengozi yokungacophelelingaso sonke isikhathi. Sengathisingakucophelela konke esikwen­zayo ngaso sonke isikhathi. Mh­lampe nawe mfundi sewake wahl­angabezana nesigameko esinjen­ga lesi, phawula sizwe nansiinombolo ongathumela ngayo i­sms: 074696 8731 noma kwikhelile­email elithi: guy.ve­[email protected] noma nosi­[email protected].

MEHLOKAZULU secondary school inImbali have earned bragging rightsafter becoming the first finalist of the

inaugural Themba Njilo Foundation’s schoolstournament by beating their neighbouringZamazulu counterparts last Friday.

The two squared up in a final of Imbali sec-ondary schools, after eliminating their respec-tive opponents at Imbali soccer field oppositeSukuma secondary school.

The final was a culmination of a two-dayeventthatstartedonThursday,withelevensec-ondary schools, including Mehlokazulu,Sobantu, Sukuma, Zibukezulu, Fundokuhle,Mvuzo, Ikusas’elihle, Siqongweni, Willow-fountain, Zamazulu and Nsikayethu, partici-pating.

Mehlokazulu beat Zamazulu 2-0 whileSukuma netball team beat Zibukezulu’s to bethe finalists of the Imbali streamof the tourna-ment which was divided into four streams.

Forty-fiveVulindlela secondary schoolswilllock horns tomorrow (Friday) to decide thefinalist of their stream. The tournament willthen move to Edendale schools and later tosecondary schools in town. All the streams’finalists will play to decide the overall winnerof the competition at a date still to be an-

nounced.There is also a primary school component

in all of these areas.Speaking to Echo, businessman Themba

Njilo said that just as he was nursing a dreamto do something to unite the youth with sportin Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas,the local sports committee came to him for as-sistance.

He said it was easy to start the tournamentbecause the sport committee was already inplace.

“The goal is to build unity among the youthbut itwill alsohelp tobuild their confidence.Asweknow,someofthemarenotgoodinclassbutthey shine when given sporting activities. Thegameswill help them feel important again andhaveself-esteemwhichmightmotivatethemtodo well, even in class,” explained Njilo.

Njilo, who is regarded as a good samaritanbecause of his philanthropic gestures to com-munities and individual families in distress,said he sponsored the tournament with R50000 from his purse.

The money will be given to the winningschoolintheformofvoucherstoavoidtemptingpeople to use it for personal gain. The schoolwill identify their needs and they will be givenvouchers to buy.

Sweating thesmall stuff

DEVELOPINGyourselfasacoachmakesiteasi-er to develop those who are most important -footballers.

Our football coaches in SouthAfrica have tounderstand that qualifications are not the onlyfruit, continuous study and research is impor-tant in an ever expanding tree of knowledge.Presently,manyofusarecontenttositbackandenjoy certificates that adorn our living roomsor offices. Thebest practitioners in the footballcoaching business did not arrive in this worldas coaching experts.

It is self-learning, difficulties, adversitiesand open-mindedness that has led to great-ness.

Creativity is the son of dedication toknowledge. It is impossible to create withoutknowledge. Our people need to bededicated toself-improvement and knowledge.

The greatest football coaches have gonethrough some bumpy rides and rocky roads.

They say change is the enemy of comfort.It exacts a full look at one’s inadequacies.

Presently, the majority of us expect favoursfrom the game. Our people think that themerefact that they are Black or South African,entitles them to lucrative positions. We com-plain about European or foreign footballcoaches, and yet we have no claim to any foot-ball coaching literature. Qualifications,licensing and certifications are the entry doorsyou open as you step into a maze of corridorsandhallways. They are not the finishing point.Modern football demands lifelong learning.

It challenges us to keep up with contempo-rary methodologies, sport science and talentdevelopment. Football coaches are no longerbaby-sitters or drill instructors.

IfSouthAfricantalentistoblossom,coacheswill see sessions as opportunities to improveplayers.

A lazy training session stifles ability, smoth-ers development and generates a shift awayfrom excellence. A lazy coaching sessiondestroys dreams.

Wecannotexpecttobeattheworldwhileourtraining sessions are business as usual. Plan-ning should be detailed to the minute. Lastly,thecoachwhosweats thesmall stuffat trainingsweats less on match day.

No rest for Maritzburg UnitedLOCAL PSL outfit, Maritzburg Unitedwant to be competitive next season butcannot keep highly paid players thatspend most of their time in the sick bay.

This is the message you get if youlook at the recent list of names off load­ed.

It is also clear that the Team OfChoice management is not going to restduring the current off season, but areprepared to go all out to reinforce theside.

This week, United confirmed thatthey will will not retain the services ofinjury­prone Curacaoan midfielder

Orlando Smeekes and formerMoroka Swallows defender PeterPetersen.

The PMB outfit has also placedGhanaian striker Yakubu Mohammedon the transfer list, while exercising theoptions of extensions on the contractsof Terrence Mandaza, Philani Zulu andHeinrich Isaacks.

United’s boss Farook Kadodia this

budget every season and wise businessdecisions are essential.

“We are not renewing the contractsof Orlando and Petersen and we haveplaced the Ghanian born striker on thelist.

“With some of the players, it wasmore about the financial strain andinjuries,”said Kadodia.

Kadodia also explains the situationregarding Robyn

Johannes, who was released alongwith Delron Buckley and DillonSheppard towards the end of theseason.

“We choose not to exercise theoption we had on his [Johannes] con­tract, while with Delron and Sheppardtheir contracts were up.”

The Team of Choice, who have alsolost Ruben Cloete and Michael Mortonon free transfers to Bloemfontein Celticand SuperSport United respectively, willstart pre­season training on June 17.
