THE Mt Ayilff police are hunting down aman (21) who is believed to have connedabout 85 people in two villages by promisingthem jobs if they paid him R500 for medicaltests.

According to police spokesperson, Cap-tain Mlungisi Matidane, this man hadconned the people of Gillespy and Tella loca-tions in Mt Ayliff out of approximatelyR65 000.

Reports claim the man met with a localemerging businessman in Kokstad andasked him to subcontract with him, becausehe had a company that was manufacturing

building material in Pretoria and wouldneed skilled people from the Transkei towork in his company.

Local businessman Mncedisi Jajukaagreed and he sent his documentation to theman.

This was followed by a phone call whichconfirmed their agreement of work.

It is alleged that the sameman fromPreto-ria told Jajuka to hire about 85 people whowould have been sent to Pretoria for train-ing. The man allegedly asked Jajuka tomake sure that each person recruited paidR500 for medical tests when they got to Pre-toria.

People who were recruited paid the mon-ey as requested and the man from Pretoria

came down to collect the rest of the moneyfromthosewhohadnot paid.But before theycontinued with the collection of the out-standingmonies, Jakuja suggested that theygo to the police station to have an affidavittaken about their deal.

Following some questions concerning thecollection of the cash, the man was interro-gated by the police.

Captain Matidane said the man allegedlywent to fetch his identity document fromhiscar, but he never returned to the station.

“We have deployed police all over thecountry to look for this man. We are tryingto prevent more people falling victim to hisscam. We also discovered an ID in his bagwhich he left behind and an ID of a deceased

person with a fraudulant picture.”Healso confirmed that thepolice inMtAy-

liff were investigating a case of fraud andtheft.

He said they were expecting more victimsof this scam to come forward. The man whohad established a relationship with the conartist, and who had recruited people, wentback to the communities to apologize in thecompany of the police.

He told residents that he was not awareof the man’s alleged fraudulent intent. Hethought the man was there to help the job-less people of the area.

Attempts to get hold of Mncedisi Jakujawere fruitless as his phone was on voice-mail.

REPORTER

A 500-strong student body borne out of a de-sire to empower communities on legal andconstitutional matters could see parity re-stored in countless fights of people obsessedby ignorance on matters of the book.

Last year the Mthatha campus bore wit-ness to the launch of the Walter Sisulu Uni-versity (WSU) National Association forDemocratic Lawyers (NADEL) StudentChapter which consists of current andformer WSU students.“The establishment of this organisation

serves to aidNADEL in its constitutional de-velopment and transformation imperatives.We want to empower the masses by educat-

ing them about their rights as etched in theconstitution on various issues,” says Stu-dent Chapter Secretary Chuma Gqetywa, asecond-year law student.She said one of the most critical roles of

the chapter was to equip communities,through street law sessions and public dis-cussions, with the necessary legal knowl-edge so they could make the right choicesin life.The Student Chapter had been working

tirelessly since its establishment to buildand foster relations with strategicallyplaced organisations that would supple-ment its efforts to bring the law to thestreets.“We’re currently in talkswith a local com-

munity radio station to look into creating a

platform that will allow for such discourseto start taking shape,” said Gqetywa.She said a plethora of topics would be ta-

bled and interrogated during what’s set tobe a weekly show that offers the communityan opportunity to engage with different top-ics.“We’re looking at identifying reputable le-

gal experts to weigh in on the issues at handso we empower our people with soundknowledge. The community will also beheavily involved in these discussions be-cause these will be discussions about socie-tal issues,” said Gqetywa.Topics on hand will include, among oth-

ers, criminal law, civil law, consumer law,customary law, environmental law as wellas human rights.

Gqetywa said the chapter also advocatesfor constitutional development, judicialtransformation and community develop-ment. “We also assist students with practi-cal and theoretical legal support through fa-cilitating student workshops that are ad-dressed by practising attorneys andadvocates, as well as developing studentsthroughmoot court practical and communi-ty outreach programmes,” she concluded.NADEL boasts some famous and reputablenames within its ranks, including the lateChief Justice Pius Langa and former JusticeMinister Dullah Omar.WSU is also well represented in the NAD-

EL ranks with alumni Justice MbuyiseliMadlanga (judge in the ConstitutionalCourt of South Africa), Judge Mxolisi Petse(judge in the Supreme Court of Appeals), aswell as attorney Mvuzo Notyesi, who is thechairperson of the Cape Law Society ofSouth Africa.

across the country.Mbixane died after a motorbike accident in

his home village last month. After the acci-dent hewas taken to the local hospital,Madzi-kane KaZulu, from where he was later airlift-ed to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospitalin Mthatha. He died on February 26 after be-ing in a coma for several weeks.Mbixane had been working for Umhlobo

Wenene FM. He started his time at the stationby hosting a very popular breakfast show.

Hewent on to host a traditionalmusic showin 1997 and the number of listeners to thisshow increased tremendously..It was as ifMbixane knew that hewas going

to die anytime soon as in his last advert hewas asking people to close their eyes andthink about what would happen if they die.In his message in that advert, in Xhosa, was“whatever happens to me please take care ofmy children”.All the speakers at the funeral described

Mbixane as a people’s person who dislikedpeople who lie and gossip,

THE community members of ward 8 in PolarPark in the King Sabatha Dalinydebo (KSD)Local Municipality are pointing fingers atWard Councillor Edgar Maphekula, claimingthathe is failing to render satisfactory servicedelivery in the area.

“I do not know why they have isolated uslike this. We belong in this country and it isour constitutional right to get the servicesfrom the government we voted for,” said thecommunity leader Siyabonga Gidlana.When Express visited the area, people said

the areawas being neglected and claimed thatthe surrounding areas had benefited from anelectricity project years ago, but that in theirarea there was still no electricity. Accordingto them the ward councillor had made falsepromiseswhen asked about electricity for thearea. “Areas like Slovo Park, Mandela Park,now Zone 14, have electricity, but there is nohope that we would have it any time soonhere,” he said.Gidlana said the councillor promised in a

meeting that electricity would be installed asfrom April last year in their area, but theywere still waiting.“When we ask our councillor about this

promise that he made some time ago in ameeting, henormally denies everything, eventhough he told the entire community of Polar

Park at that particular meeting. We don’twant to fight, but we need development. Wehave even calmed those communitymemberswhowanted to start a service deliveryprotest.What we need is for the councillor to come tous and address us about the developments re-garding electricity in the area as per hispromise,” he said.A Communitymember, NoxoloMathe, said

Polar Park had never benefited even withfood parcels which they had heard areas clos-

THE Port St Johns municipality is mourn-ing the death of its mayor Danisile Mnya-mezeli Mangqo (40) who passed away onMarch 5 in a Durban hospital after a shortillness.

According to reports Mangqo showedsigns of illness and terrible coughing a fewweeks ago. As a result of these symptomshe visited the doctor who referred him tohospital.Port St Johns speaker and close friend to

Mangqo, Thandisizwe Khukula, expressedhis sadness abut the sudden death ofMang-qo whom he regarded as his brother.

He said Mangqo was well-known for hisactions to unite people through culture, aswas evident in the recently held culturalfestival hosted by the municipality. Heplayed a leading role in making sure thatthe festival took place.According to him Mangqo also played a

vital role in the Isingqi Sethu – an annualevent that is jointly hosted by the Port StJohns municipality and the Department ofSport, Recreation, Arts and Culture.He described Mangqo as a man of peace

and unity, who loved to see Port St Johnswell developed.“Hewas a very disciplined and respected

man,” said Khukula. Mangqo was also pop-ular in athletics circles.

PSJmourns the passing of itsmayorMangqo

er to ward 8were benefitting from. “They reg-ister us, promising to come back with whatthey have registered us for, but they nevercome.”In his response, Councillor Maphekula

stressed that Polar Park was not excluded inthe service delivery process. He said as themunicipality they were in a process of up-grading the area from an informal settlementto a formal settlement.“So everything has been approved and a

new housing structure will be implementedin the area, because we cannot electrify theshanty town housing. As soon as the housingproject starts, the communitywill be inaposi-tion to get electricity. To show that they werenot being isolated we have constructed roadsin the area trying to simplify the work whenthe housing project starts. I would like to as-sure the community of that area they are notexcluded; all the plans are in place to accom-modate them,” concluded Maphekula.

strong views on youth development, edu-cation, skills development and the allevia-tion of the plight of the downtrodden mas-ses. While being mayor, he strived for therealization of a free and just society.“We take this opportunity to thank his

family for allowing thepeople ofORTambodistrict to share his valuable life. Hismarkwill be a symbol of determination to be em-ulated by future generations, ” said Meth.Mangqo will be buried on March 21, in

ceived funding from the PSJ Rotary Club, theMthatha Rotary Club, and the East LondonRotary Club, as well as from private interna-tional funders.TheACPalso raises funds through its local-

ly based volunteer programme, and through

various fund raising initiatives such as jum-ble sales, pub quizzes, and also the sale of deli-cious chocolate balls around town.”He saidRebekkaSquire, a certified psychol-

ogist from the UK, first arrived in Port StJohns in early 2014 to volunteer for the ACP,and has since returned on a one-year contractas Project manager for the ACP.Clayton said through her efforts, the

Project had recently raised significant fund-ing which was contributing to the childrenfrom theMthumbaneCrèche getting better fa-cilities all the time.“The current development is a new class-

room and flushing toilets, which are busy be-ing built,” concluded Clayton.For more info about the Amapondo Chil-

kungatshongo khona kuhambisana nengulosometimes.Nombala sithe siyabona ungumnqawuka

nenelwe ezi sezingathi zixhuthekile emny-ama ngathi lilahle kwaye sehamba yedwakungasabonakali ziichomie.Okwakungamadoda ayemazi nawo seham-

bela kude emana ukuthi “hayi ndandiyayazila way”, Ok, wanqaba futhi nalapha empuz-weni simbona nje xa edriver around town elilolo.Wawu!! Last weekend simbonile kucaca

ukuba noko welaphekile uyabuyela nasegaz-ini. Nanko amadoda semthe mba kwakhona,nala kanye ebehambela kude ngoku sefunakuyeesiqwini akazinokuba isigulobesiyinto-ni kuba naku utyebile kwakhona angenakuye.Nizofa nje ngokuba kucaca ukuba anizicin-

geli nakufumana eli jiki nje. Asithule sijongekodwa kungekudala uzakubona enye seyibo-qoke izidlele, imbrukhwe le seyingathi ixho-nyiwe.Baxelele gossip team abeva aba bakufuma-

na la mambawu abo.

Sorry guys, this is life in EC

In order to experience life of that particularprovince sometimes you need to get hurt sothat you will be able to see a direction.Bafethu, asihlekisi ngani qha this is a fact.

Therewere guys fromGautengwhowere sob-bing of being ‘knocked’ by the girls duringtheir visit to the Eastern Cape.The guys told us that they invited the girls

whom they met in So What Lounge, UTA.

They organized everything for them frombuying alcohol on their first meeting going toa braai for themand buying airtime, let alonetransporting them from point A to point B theentire weekend.But the ladies still stole their two cell

phones and some cash. The guys realised thislater after they dropped them off in front ofa room in Fortdale where they claimed theywere staying. But when they went there tocheck, therewere no ladies and theywere justwelcomed by an old lady who said she knewnothing about the ladies and that it was justherself and her husband living in the room.Kuyabethwa eEC bafana bam akudlalwa

and oosisi bethu nabo bayaziphandela.

But it’s dangerous

We are used to seeing drivers driving whiletalking on a cell phone, but what we saw lastweek was a “masterpiece’’ but also too dan-gerous for words.There was a guy who was driving a grey

BMW in Sutherland Street.

While the guy was driving, he was alsoreading a newspaperwhich hewas put acrossthe steeringwheel. HOW!!madoda yimihlola.Sometimes we challenge the accident on ourown because you cannot read and drive.Lo nto nje ngamanzi namafutha.Ntante Machaea sinqandeleni baba kule

reckless driving yenzeka apha eUTA.

I wonder what happened to the guard whowas found emapuna-puna inside the premisesof a local business.Sondela sikuxelele iindaba ezi ungazaziyo.Kaloku last week kufunyenwe enye i-outie

egada eKopano itiphile and ishaya ngesuti ye-sele ukuba kwenzeke ntoni akukabikhomntuwaziyo kuba ibingakwazi nokuthetha.Mhlawumbi umfethu uzitshize ngamadla

South Africa’s economic outlook for 2015is expected to be less than favourable, butthe persistence of many business owners tocontinue purchasing commercial propertiesat levels experienced in 2012/2013 is avote of confidence in the future of ourcountry’s commercial property market,asserts Brett Webb, Head of SpecialisedLending: Specialised Sales and CommercialMarkets at Standard Bank.

“Despite the downturn in the economyand expectations that interest rateswill increase further in 2015, StandardBank clients are still buying property,but becoming more selective in theirpurchasing patterns. Notwithstandingthis added caution, the bank had, to datein 2014, negotiated ‘owner-occupier’transactions that were in line with2012/2013 figures, and experienced a44% upsurge,” adds Mr Webb.

Activity in Standard Bank’s specialisedlending portfolio is concentrated on owner-occupied properties worth a minimum ofR5 million and clients with a minimumturnover of R10 million and a maximumturnover of R1.2 billion. The typicalproperty purchase agreement is for aperiod of 10 years. Buyers typically borrow

between 70 to 75% of the property’s value– the owner-occupier’s equity contributionbeing driven by factors such as demand forthe property etc.

One of the strong factors driving theowner-occupier market is that a combinedview is taken on the client and the propertyto determine the client’s level of equitycontribution when a purchase is concerned.

“There is no doubt that owner-occupiersare taking a longer-term view of the marketand are making property investments onlywhen the stability and potential of theirmarkets and company cash flows have beencarefully examined.

“Factors impacting on property purchasingdecisions have also been influenced by therentals being paid in the geographical areasin which businesses operate. There havebeen instances where, in areas that are lessin demand because of their location, rentshave remained static or even declined.In others, however, where the location iscentral and ideal for potential buyers theopposite has been true.”

“The major issue presently impactingthe sales of commercial properties is thecost base related to municipal rates andenergy increases that in many cases haveoutstripped the growth in rentals. Whererentals have been low, many potentialpurchasers of buildings have held back frommaking an investment when viewing energyand rates costs.”

“Where businesses are owner-occupied,they have taken advantage of varioussubsidy schemes on offer to reduce energycosts. Typically, ‘greening’ their buildingshas involved retrofitting lighting systemsand obtaining cost-efficient equipmentsuch as electric motors. It is more difficult

to achieve these operational savings whenpremises are rented and the landlordhas to shoulder some of the cost burdeninvolved.”

“As was to be expected, the primary areaof activity in the owner-occupier segmentduring 2014 was Gauteng. In KwaZulu-Natal, the commercial property market isfairly evenly split between investors andowner-occupiers. The Western Cape isfundamentally different with investorsrather than owner-occupiers taking thelead on commercial property purchases.The Eastern Cape market is dominated bya few large investors. This makes entry intothe market in the Eastern Cape difficult forsmaller owner-occupiers and investors inthe region.”

In provinces such as Mpumalanga, NorthernCape and the Free State, a shift hasoccurred with investors, often alreadyowner-occupiers in their own right, takingthe lead in diversifying into the rentalmarket. The Mozambique Corridor, wheresignificant government and municipalspend has taken place, has encouraged thegrowth of business and stimulated activityin the owner-occupier sector.

“The same dynamics apply near the Coegadevelopment area in Port Elizabeth, andindustrial development zones that havebeen established in East London in the

Eastern Cape, as well as the Dube TradePort near Durban’s King Shaka InternationalAirport,” says Mr Webb.

“What is key to the owner-occupier marketnow is how new developments and, indeed,redevelopments are impacted on by theavailability of infrastructure. Going forward,the pace of developments and where theytake place will be influenced by municipalspend on services and access to transport.”

“This bodes well for some locations suchas Jacobs in Durban. Although this is anageing industrial area, it is in high demandbecause of its central location on theoutskirts of the Durban CBD to the existingharbour and new harbour developments.Transport costs are also contained,making it an attractive investment forpeople wishing to construct purpose-builtfacilities.”

“What will continue to drive investmentsby owner-occupiers is the fundamentaldifference that exists between landlordsand business owners looking for a soundinvestment. The investor needs to weighthe cost of his purchase or building projectagainst rentals that can be achieved.”

“For the owner-occupier, the emphasis ison a business perspective. A location will beevaluated on how it will impact on tradingactivities and the owner-occupier will bewilling to make an investment based on thisoutlook,” says Mr Webb.

TO motivate Grade 12 learners to perform attheir best, Ngwayibanjwa Senior SecondarySchool (SSS) in Mthatha hosted a “Tie Cere-mony” to distinguish this year’s 141 matricstudents from the rest of the learners.

The ceremony, attended by proud parents,the School Governing Body, teachers and fel-

low learners, was held at the school last week.School Principal Vukile Mavovana said the

ceremony was held to also change the matric-ulants’ mindset and behaviour and to moti-vate them to see themselves as a special groupof learners within the school.

“At the beginning of the year, I gave thema theme that they needed to follow this yearin order to achieve excellent results. Thetheme I gave them for the year is ‘Change’,”

said Mavovana. The principal further ex-plained the word “change” as an acronym forcommitment, hard work, attitude, nurturer,gatherer of information and engagement.

Mavovana said Ngwayibanjwa SSS wasknown for its exceptional disciplinary code,cleanliness and most importantly, for its out-standing quality matric results. He encour-aged this year’s matric class to outdo them-selves and not to disappoint the school and

their parents. “We have afternoon, Saturdayand Sunday classes, as well as Winter andSpring schools. All of these efforts are madeto ensure that our learners are equipped witheverything that they need in order to obtaingood results at the end of the year,” he said.

Parentswerealsourged to limit thenumberof household chores for the learners so thatthey have enough time to study and do theirhomework.

OR Tambo residents will soon have a sec-ond community radio station whenNgwane FM starts broadcasting on90MHz from Mthatha.

Co-founder of the station, Muzi Dlami-ni, who is a former UCR FM reporter, saidNgwane FM was formed to service the en-tire OR Tambo region. It is community-based with no strings with the municipal-ity.

“We conducted research among com-munity members to find out if there is aneed for a second community radio sta-tion. The response we got was a bigthumbs-up to proceed with our vision,”said Dlamini.

Dlamini added that the new station willsolely focus on promoting the diverse cul-tures in the OR Tambo regions and alsoto give a platform to young and upcomingartists.

“This area is very diverse when itcomes to culture and tradition and wewant to cater for each and every group.We are therefore looking for young bloodthat will be able to push our vision for-ward,” he said.

He also promised the listeners that

when the radio station hits the airwavesin September this year, radio mogulswould be among the presenters and re-porters.

According toDlamini theyare still look-ing for aspiring and talented reportersand presenters but they will inform thepublic on when to start applying.

Dlamini formed the station togetherwith Sivuyile Gova who is a former teach-er.

“We were awarded the licence by the In-dependent Communication Authority ofSouth Africa (Icasa) in February this yearandweare ready tohit the airwaves,” saidGova.

The duo assured the OR Tambo commu-nity that this new baby is not competingwith the existing radio stations.

Pan Africanist Congress of Azaniamember in Mthatha, Simosakhe Memani,said they welcome the new community ra-dio station as it would also cover sur-rounding areas including Ugie and Ngco-bo.

“Wewill not leave the existing radio sta-tions, but this shows that Mthatha is real-ly developing. There is no way we cannotembrace development and we trust Dlam-ini since he has been involved with radiofor years,” said Memani.

The faces behind the new community radio station, Ngwane FM, which will hit the airwaves on 90MHz inSeptember, are Sivuyile Gova (left) who is a former teacher, and former UCR FM reporter Muzi Dlamini.

THE Methodist Church of South AfricaClothe a Child campaign and the Departmentof Social Development have joined forces todonate school uniforms to 124 pupils in theAlfred Nzo and OR Tambo District Munici-palities.

The Superintendent of the MethodistChurch in the Clarkebury District, ReverendMzubanzi Hlongwane, said the church hasa Mission Unite desk who looks into theneeds of their community.The most recent handover of school uni-

forms at Mnceba in Ntabankulu and inMthatha was the fourth event since the start

of their partnership with the department ofSocial Welfare.He said four years ago the church had a

Dress a Child campaign and the departmentof Social Welfare had their Back to Schoolcampaign – both with the same goal of givinguniforms to pupils from destitute homes.“We identify the children and assist with

the school uniform.“Thereaftermembers of the local church in

the areawhere the child resides, will look aft-er the child and make sure that he or she hasa uniform throughout the year,” said Hlong-wane.Department of Education Development Of-

ficer, Magidela Manga, said the departmentwanted to ensure that the rights of the

learners was protected, and as such they in-troduced no-fee schools, scholar transportand nutrition programmes.Social ills were, however, difficult for the

department to address and he therefore wel-comed the efforts of the department of SocialDevelopment and the Methodist Church toassist the children.“We would like to ask parents to assist us

in addressing the problem of violence atschools among children and teachers,” saidManga.During the handover of the uniforms,MEC

for Social Development, Nancy Sihlwayi,highly commended the partnership they hadwith the Methodist church and called on oth-er organizations and churches to do the

same.Theymust however bring something to the

table, and the department will meet themhalfway.She said theywere looking at extending the

relationship with the Methodist Church tohelp the elderly as well.She had requested churchmembers to con-

sider donating an empty house, which theywere not using, to the department to be ableto create a place where old people can meetand socialize whilst being fed by the depart-ment.She also said that officials from her depart-

mentwould visit schools to find children thatneed assistance as the programme was heldevery year.

first ten minutes of the first half a Candu FCmidfielder came with a powerful long rangeshot which gave their team a goal.The first half ended with Candu FC leading

1-0. In the second half FC Nantez was all overthe Candu FC defenders as they were lookingfor an equalising goal but Candu FC’s goal-keepermade excellent saves denying FCNan-tez an equaliser.

The rain came down 25 minutes before theend of game and Candu FC decided to changetheir game plan with the hope of defendingtheir only goal of the game.Unfortunately for them FC Nantez also had

a change of plan andwasdetermined to eitherwin the game or share the point.FC Nantez’ strikers confused the Candu FC

defenders as they were attacking from all di-rections with their one two touches.In the last ten minutes of the game FC Nan-

tez created a clear chance when their strikerfound himself in a one-on-one with the goal-keeper.He beat the goalkeeper to end the gameinaone-all drawandthe teamssharingapoint.
