THE parents of two baby girlswho died within hours of eachother after allegedly receivingan injection by the same nursein Dora Nginza Hospital, have

filed a lawsuit of R2million against the De-partment of Health.

The parents of babies Lilonke Zondani (6weeks) andAsiphileDada (2) claim that thechildrenwere injectedby thenurseondutywith the wrong medication that proved le-thal. The incidents occured in January thisyear.

Lilonke’s grieving mother, Yandisa Zon-dani fromWalmer Township, said she hadtaken her 6 week old infant to the hospitalafter her child became ill rejecting breastmilk on December 31.

Zondani said the hospital ran severaltests and diagnosed her with a minor lunginfection. Baby Zondani was admitted tothe hospital’s paediatric ward and was re-sponding positively to treatment.

An emotional Zondani said hours beforeher baby was meant to be discharged onJanuary8shewitnessedanurseinjectmed-ication. The baby died shortly thereafter.No detail on the cause of deathwas, howev-er, given by the hospital.

“Whathurts themost is that thesepeopledid not give us an explanation nor did theyeven say sorry for my baby. She died andthey just brushed it off like nothing hap-pened,” said Zondani.

Zondanisaidthehospital furtherwentonto bungle the location of the remains of thebaby, saying she was taken toMount Roadmortuary then later to New Brighton mor-

tuary only to find that her child was stillat Dora Nginza hospital.

“The insensitive way the hospital treat-ed us is still painful. We had to travel allaroundthecity looking formychild’sbodyonly to find that she was in Dora Nginzahospital all along,” said Zondani.

Zondani said after much protest by thefamily the hospital agreed to pay for someof the funeral expenses. “Even the funeralarrangement seemed thoughtless on theside of the hospital. They refused that wetakepart in thearrangementseventhoughourcustomsdonot complywith theirway.We did not have a say in the choice of mychild’s coffin and they refused any inputfromus saying theywould arrange it theirway,” an emotional Zondani added.

The parents of the other baby, AsiphileDada, declined to talk to Express Indaba.Attempts to get comment from the attor-neysEgonOswaldAttorneys who filed thelawsuit on behalf of the parents, were alsounsuccessful.

Dora Nginza hospital has been plaguedwith lawsuits. In 2011 it was reported by anational newspaper that the hospital wasfacing lawsuits of up to a R100 million,many from parents whose babies died orwere severely disabled after flawed birthoperations.

“Thathospital is adeathsentence forba-bies. Another lady toldmeher twin babiesalso died at the hospital last year. No onecares about the loss and hurt that we feelasparents. I crymyself tosleepeverynightbecause I will never see my only babyagain,” said Zondani

Eastern Cape Health spokesperson,Sizwe Kupelo, said he could not com-

ment on issues that are before the courts.

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma officially openedthe Africa for African Women’s Conferenceheld at the Boardwalk International Conven-tion Centre (ICC) in Port Elizabeth on Sun-day, March 8.

The opening of the two-day conference washeld to coincide with the International Wom-en’s Day on March 8.

The theme of the conference was “LocatingWomen at the Centre of Global Economy forSustainable Development: Make it Happen”.

President Zuma said the conference wasquite opportune, as it looked at the AfricanUnion (AU) Declaration which is The Year ofWomen Empowerment and Development.

The plan, the president said, was to builda continent where people’s development andspecially women took centrestage, as this,was the time for the advancement of womenempowerment and development.

“This is a call for transformation of leader-ship in all spheres; politically, economicallyand socially,” said Zuma, adding that trans-formation should include women in the ruralareas, to ensure they get full access to finan-cial institutions.

Strides have been made in women empow-

erment and development, said president Zu-ma, adding that the appointment of Nkosaza-na Dlamini-Zuma as the AU president, wasbut one example.

“The continent is full of women Ministersand Parliamentarians but is moving a bitslowly in appointing a woman head of state,compared to other regions,” said Zuma.

Zuma, however, stated that South Africawas leading in the advancement of womencompared to other African countries. Hemade mention of women’s access to primaryeducation that is exceeding the MillenniumDevelopment Goals while women attendingprimary, secondary and tertiary educationhad improved significantly.

In all that, the president said educationwas central to the South African govern-ment. To this end, he applauded the roleplayed by the private sector in promoting theadvancement of young girls through the“Take a Girl Child to Work Programme”which provides young girls with working ex-perience.

“The SA government has taken a proactivestance to ensure that in addition to the nu-merical targetswehave achieved,we get higheducational outcomes,” said Zuma, addingthat an investment in women’s education isan investment in the nation.

The AU President Nkosazana Dlamini-Zu-ma, who was expected to address the confer-ence on Monday, could not do so. She was inDakar for other pressing commitments.

The Deputy Minister of Social Develop-mentHenriettaBogopane-Zulu, PremierPhu-

mulo Masualle, MEC for Social DevelopmentNancy Sihlwayi and her Department’s HeadBea Hackula spoke together with speakersand delegates from countries that include In-dia, Ghana and Kenya as well as speakersfrom successful cooperatives.

“DOMESTIC violence and abuse is not love.It is a lack of knowledge and understandingof the true sanctity of marriage.”

This is theviewofNocawaSinam, theHeadof Phaphani Rape Crisis in KwaNobuhle.

Sinam says domestic violence is graduallytaking its toll on members of KwaNobuhlecommunity. And if the scourge was not ad-dressed, it would continue to break up familyunits and harm children.

According to Sinam, Domestic Violence orGender-based Violence (GBV) knows no

boundaries. “It is everywhere, among therich and poor, learned or illiterate, in the pov-erty-stricken shacks or in the affluent sub-urbs”.

An example of this is a recent case of achurch bishop physically abusing his wife.

“The man would beat his wife on Saturdayevening, and expect her to lead in song duringthe service on Sunday,” said Sinam withoutmentioning the names of the couple.

According to Sinam a case had, however,been opened with the police.

It is alleged that some members of thechurchhad beennoticing that somethingwaswrong with their leaders. The bishop’s wife

would shake in fear in churchwhilst theBish-op was preaching.

“What is worse, when social workers tookthe woman to a place of safety, the man alleg-edly drank poison claiming he could not sur-vive without his wife, and mother of his chil-dren.

According to Sinam, that is typical behav-iour of an abuser. “He shows total dependen-cy on the abused only to satisfy his own self-ish needs.

“The couple has been married for morethan 18 years and the alleged abuse has beengoing on for about 10 years,” said Sinam whohas tried to provide counselling to the duo.

THE Local branch of the South African Na-tional Civic Organisation (SANCO) in Uit-enhage has spoken out on the eviction ofresident Nomathamsanqa Magwa from herRebe Street house, KwaNobuhle recently.

Express Indaba reported how the Magwafamily and four other families were evictedby the sheriff of the court in separate inci-dents and how Public Order Police Services(POPS) members allegedly shot stun gre-nades as the residents reportedly tried tostop the sheriff from executing his duties.“Because of our silence on the matter, as

SANCO, we fear we could be misconstruedas being passive and not involved in ourresidents’ struggles. The truth is, we are in-volved and aware of what is happeningwiththe house at Rebe Street,” said ChairpersonMalaki Rawula.That particular eviction, according to Ra-

wula, was legitimate, but could have beenavoided.“As SANCO, we know that Magwa rented

the house from its original owner, Thembis-ile Kota, who has since died. But before hedied, Kota sold the house toMkhize Lupond-wana,” said Rawula. According to Rawula,SANCO was not surprised that Magwa wasunable to produce a Title Deed to prove pur-chase of the house, something that Lupond-

wana, on whose instruction the court offi-cials acted, can do.“We have seen Magwa renovating and

beautifying the four-roomed house whilstKota was still alive, but sick in hospital. Atthe time, we did not know that there was no

sales transaction signed between him andMagwa,” said Mandela Madzwili, localSANCO acting secretary, adding that in try-ing to solve the impasse, since last year,they have tried in vain to ask Magwa toshow a Deed of Sale document, Title Deed

or at least an Affidavit to show she paid forthe house.“I’d like to confirm that I bought the

house in question from Mr and Mrs Kotain September 2012 and the transaction wasset for March 2013,” said Mkhize Lupond-wana, adding that Kitching Attorneys facil-itated the process of the house’s registra-tion in his and his wife’s names.“Mrs Magwa was given a notice to vacate

the premises on a number of occasions. Butshe failed to do so until we received a courtorder to evict her,” said Lupondwana.Lupondwana added that he had meet-

ings with Magwa and the local structurestrying to negotiate with her to rent thehouse from him – because he felt sorry thatshe, a woman and mother with children,had to lose a place to stay after so manyyears of occupancy, but Magwa would notlisten.“She said this is her house but she can’t

produce papers to back her claim,” said Lu-pondwana.This was corroborated by SANCO. Said

Rawula, “Magwa’s eviction could havebeen avoided, had she spoken the truthabout the house – that she thought she hadinherited it after the passing of Kota, notknowing that Kota had already sold thehouse to Lupondwana.Attempts to askMagwa for comment were

unsuccessful.

THE Coega Development Corporation(CDC) announced that it will issue a noticefor an Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) study to assess the feasibility of es-tablishing a cargo airport and an aeronaut-ical/aerospace industrial cluster in theCoega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ).

“We are happy that the project is begin-ning to take shape. Feasibility work hasbeen done by industry experts which hasyielded great potential for the project. Theestablishment of an advanced manufactur-ing cluster for aeronautical and aerospaceindustries has always been on our vision

map,” said Mogamad Sadick Davids, CDCmetallurgy business development manag-er.“Through the environmental impact as-

sessment, we are a few steps closer to de-veloping a possible new industry for Nel-son Mandela Bay, ensuring further broad-ening of the economic base and growththrough diversified industrial sectors anddevelopment for the region,” said Davids.Possible aeronautical and aerospace in-

dustrial manufacturing activity that cantake place in the Coega IDZ includesmanu-facturing of helicopters, aerospace en-gines, auxiliary equipment and parts andpropulsion units while the industry can al-so possibly contribute to aerospace prod-

uct prototypes, aircraft conversion andaircraft overhaul and rebuilding.The planned cluster will be located in

Zone 14 of the Coega IDZ, which currentlystretches across 2 086 hectares of land.“Industrial clustering for mobility in-

dustries is an accepted form of economicorganisation across the world,” said DrAyanda Vilakazi, CDC head of Marketingand Communications.“The existing expertise, skilled labour

and logistics services from the EasternCape’s automotive and manufacturing in-dustries are important strategic advanta-ges that can support the development ofaeronautical and aerospace manufactur-ing in the region,” added Dr Vilakazi.

“The CDC is perfectly endowed withskills, resources and world-class infra-structure at the neighbouring deep sea-water Port of Ngqura, to be part of the

global commercial aircraft manufacturingindustry.“Included in our plans is the construc-

tion of the cargo/industrial airport thatcan serve aeronautical and aerospace in-dustrial manufacturing.“Subsequently, this will also offer ten-

ants and investors in the Coega IDZ an im-mediate facility for air transport, whichhas been well received by the industrywith Letters of Intent and Expression of in-terests already indicated,” concluded DrVilakazi.

THE moral degeneration of society especial-ly amongst the youth and unemploymentbecause of poor education has led a localteacher to combine his passion for educa-tion and religion by opening a non-profitcollege.

St Ambrose College in Richmond Hill wasestablished in 2013 by Ralph Laing to edu-cate and empower adults and help youngpeople with learning problems.

According to Laing, the College is a non-profit company that provides a service tothe community through education, no mat-ter what their religious affiliation may be.

The College relies on anonymous fundersfor its funding.

“Our main aim is to provide quality edu-cational support for the community at largeand a moral foundation for learners so thatthey can make the correct choices in lifethat will equip them to become responsible

citizens who will contribute positively to so-ciety,” he said.

“Due to the poor matric results in the East-ern Cape we believe that it is essential thatwe offer some form of assistance to those inmatric and to adults who still need to attaintheir matric,” said Laing.

The College offers matric tuition classes,evening classes for adults who want to com-plete matric, remedial classes for childrenwith learning barriers and language proficien-cy classes, such as French and isiXhosa, foradults on a Saturday.

“Our remedial classes assist learners whodo not have any support at school owing to thelarge numbers of learners in a classroom.

“The educators cannot assist these learnerswith learning barriers as there are too manylearners to focus on.

“In addition, through programmes of voca-tionalguidancewehopetosteer learnersintheright direction so that they can make the cor-rect career choice for life,” said Laing.

In the Bridging/Preparation Year 2016

course, which will start next year, they intendto offer students a year of preparation for uni-versity and career discernment.

“This year 2015 is the first phase of our edu-cational programme which runs in the after-noon and evenings.

“Next year 2016 is the second phase of ourprogramme where we will offer a BridgingYear on a full time basis, to prepare learnersfor university as too many learners fail firstyear at university,” he said.

According to Laing the two main reasons forthis high failure right is that students cannotmake the adjustment from school level to uni-versity and are making the incorrect careerchoice.

St Ambrose College’s tuition fees are R250for registration and R50 a lesson.

From next year they will offer five matriclearners from a disadvantage background freetuition.

Participation by these scientists will focus onthe John Webb Space Telescope, Mars Explora-tion Programme, New Horizons Mission, Roset-ta Mission and NASA’s plans for a new era ofspace exploration.

Scifest Africa 2015, celebrating the theme “Sci-ence alight!” will be held in Grahamstown, East-ern Cape from 18 to 24 March.

Since astronomers are accustomed to measur-ing distances in light years, the theme will notbe a strange concept in this, the United NationsInternational Year of Light and Light-basedTechnologies.

The Curiosity Rover, a six-wheeled remote-controlled vehicle that is currently navigatingits way through the Gale Crater on the planetMars, is sure to prompt many questions.

NASA astronaut, Dr Catherine Coleman, willmake several public appearances during the fes-tival, sharing her experiences on Space ShuttleColumbia and the International Space Station,and outlining NASA’s plans for a new era ofspaceexploration.Colemanisparticularlyexcit-ed about NASA’s plans to send astronaut ScottKelly to theInternationalSpaceStationonaone-yearmission.Thismissionisset tobetheperfectopportunity to learn about how a long stay inspace affects the human body, as it will be possi-ble to compare his medical data with that of histwin brother, Mark.

PARENTS should be involved in their chil-dren’s education.

This is the belief of Pinocchio Cum - PrePrimary School, an Early Childhood Devel-opment Centre in Motherwell, Port Eliza-beth.

Pinocchio Cum - Pre Primary School orga-nised a workshop event for parents last Sun-day March 8 in order to discuss the reasons

why parents should be more involved in theirchildren’s education.

“We believe many parents don’t knowmuch about Early Childhood Development,or ECD’s daily programmes,” said NandiphaMemani, the centre’s founder and principal,adding that the workshop was aimed at help-ing them to know a lot more about ECD Pro-grammes.

According to Memani they also dealt withissues of child abuse and discipline whichparents have to deal with on a daily basis.

ELEVEN brave little girls who suffer fromlife-threatening illnesses were treated asbeauty queens by the Reach for A DreamFoundation last Friday.

On arrival at Eataly Restaurant, the red car-pet was rolled out for them and the girls re-ceived five- star treatment and pamperingfrom the professionals at Anew Your Hair.

Their eyes glowed and smiles widenedwhen they saw themselves in the mirror afterhaving their make-up done and nails pol-ished.

When they were red carpet ready, formerMiss PE Bianca Gerber (the Queen on theDay), taught them how to walk, talk and wavelike a queen.

Thereafter each girl was crowned and walk-ed the red carpet while her peers cheered heron. The eleven newly crowned queens then satdown for lunch and were spoiled with a goodiebag, muffins, croissants, cupcakes and pinklemonade.

The “Queen For A Day” project was createdto treat girls to a day out of their hospital envi-ronment and crown them Queen For A Day.

“Every girl dreams of being a beauty queenand so Reach For A Dream tries to fulfil thisdream for all our special brave young ladies,”said Charne Blume, (RFAD PE branch manag-er). She said each girl was made to feel specialand beautiful to ease the effect of their illness-es on their bodies and more importantly, theirself-esteem.

“Not only did they feel special and pam-pered on the day, but the positive attentionshowered upon them helped create positivememories that will assist them throught thehard times presented by their illness,” saidBlume.

Another purpose of the project was to raisethe confidence and self-esteem of the girls whomay feel embarrassed by their appearance asa result of their illness and/or treatment.

VARSITYCup is going one step further andputting its money where its mouth isagainst violence against women and chil-dren.

Players were hard at work at this year’sInternationalWomen’sDaywhichwascele-brated on Sunday, March 8, with the themeto“Make ItHappen”,witha focusongenderequality.VarsityCupsaid theywere takinga stand

tohelp raiseawarenessandmakea tangibledifference.FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff

International has once again backed the#KeepTheAggroOnTheField campaign inorder not only to help raise awareness ofwomenand child abuse, but also assist shel-terswhere theymostneed it: physicallyandfinancially.Prior to the Varsity Cup and Shield sea-

sons kicking off in February, Varsity Cup,through their sponsors, FNB and SteinhoffInternational, gave the participating uni-versities funds for their chosen projects –on condition that the First-team playersthemselves were physically involved inlending a hand.“These projects would not be possible

without our corporate sponsors and for thatwe are eternally grateful, but getting theplayers actively involved helps others real-ise that lending a helping hand isn’t hardto do,” explains Xhanti Lomzi Nesi, Opera-tions Executive at Varsity Sports.

The participating universities visited theearmarked shelters at the start of the sea-son to show their commitment to makinga real difference.Players and coaches helped to give face-

lifts to a number of the facilities by doingeverything fromredoing kitchens to simplepaint jobs and even a spot of gardeningalong with cash donations.To further help raise awareness of the

#KeepTheAggroOnTheField campaign, theFNB Player that Rocks (Man of the Match)of each game will wear pink shorts in thenext fixture as Varsity Cup and its playerscontinue to take a stand against gender-based violence and violence and abuseagainst children.The project follows on from last year,

when over R300 000 was donated to sheltersnationwide.At the start of the season in February,

FNBVarsityCup,presentedbySteinhoff In-ternational, vowed to add their voices to thefight against women and child abuse. All 13of the Varsity Cup and Shield universitiesaccepted the challenge to identify a localshelter or organisation that counsels andsupports abused women and children.The money it donates is drawn from the

VarsityTrust, a trustwherecorporate spon-sor’s social investmentmoney ispooledanddistributed to the selected universities.“Wemake sure that these funds reach the

right people and thatwe’re actuallymakinga difference in the fight against women andchild abuse instead of just talking about it,”added Nesi.

SWARTKOPSVALLEY United Brothers(SUBS) gave a good account of themselvesfollowing their gallant 2-1 effort over La Li-ga FC in their ABC Motsepe Second Divi-sion at Motherwell NU 2 Stadium on Fri-day.

SUBS were like a house on fire but theircounterparts put up a brave fight. SUBSright wing Sithembiso Mzambia Maloniposed some problems to La Liga defend-ers.

SUBS’ midfielder Aviwe Tise Venge fail-ed twice to beat the La Liga’s goalkeeper,Sello Tsilo, who easily dealt with his ef-forts. The first half goal of SUBS goalpoacher Vuyisani Masumpa separated thetwo sides.

The tempo of the game in the second halfwas extremely fast as both sides wanted

goals. Venge was relieved when he pulled agoal to increase SUBS’s lead to 2-0.

La Liga’s skipper Mlungisi Mdwebu, An-thony Cox, Sechaba Mofokeng and TebohoThekiso caused difficult moments to SUBSdefenders.

A perfect cross from Mdwebu was squeezedinto the back of the net by Humphrey Vikila-hle to make the final score 2-1.

La Liga threw many players forward inpursuit of an elusive goal but their opportuni-ties went begging because SUBS’ goalkeeper,Lwando Nkohla, stood his ground.

SOPHAKAMA crucified Real Crusaders whenthey thumped them 3-0 in their ZWIFA NtandoTransport Premier League game at Zwide Stadi-um on Sunday.

Following their recent impressive form, Cru-saders were reminded of their earlier winlessperformance by Sophakama who were ruthless.

The KwaZakhele-based side strikers Masibu-lele Magutyana and Ndabazandile Hulushe(brace) scored goals that sank Crusaders.

Camper United seemed to have realised thata point or two in every game would ease themfrom their worries of being dropped to theZWIFA First Division.
