POOR planning and engineering havecausedthenewR70millionIPTSroadin KwaZakhele to collapse even be-fore the end of its construction.

This was said by Municipal Public AccountsCommittee (MPAC) members during an over-sight visit.

MPAC members were less than pleased by thedilapidating IPTS road under construction inthe KwaZakhele area.

MPAC member Noluthando Mapu said theyhad received numerous complaints from busi-nesses and residents in the area who could notaccess adjoining roads owing to the poor plan-

ning.“The major problems with this planning are

that the businesses operating in the area haveno access points, the school children walking onthe roads are not safe because there is no spacefor them to cross over, church goers in the areacannot access their church and there is no sig-nage informing people where to drive. This waspoorly planned with no consideration for thecommunity staying in the area,” said Mapu.

MPAC chairman, Timmy Tutu, said he wasalso disappointed with the lack of a projectstransport plan, a road safety audit plan and atraffic calming plan.

“We can see that this road is falling apart.There are no barricades and drivers are freelyusing the lanes which are still under construc-

tion,” said Tutu.Tutu said they would investigate further and

would take recommendations made of theproject so far, to council for deliberation.

“It is unfortunate because we can’t make deci-sions now. This project needs a lot of work andso far it is lacking in so many areas,” added Tu-tu.

IPTSroadconstructionprojectmanager,Luk-holo Badi, admitted that they had failed to meettwo deadlines owing to unforeseen circumstan-ces.

“Our current deadline is the end of Marchwhen we will have a practical completion whichmeans that we mark all the problem areas onthe roads and we tackle those. We were original-ly meant to finish last year June and we extend-

ed the deadline to December. Those extensionswere due to SMME’s strikes and problems withthe salt pipelines (crossing under the road) wedid not foresee,” said Badi.

The IPTS project has been synonymous withpoor planning and allegations of corruption foryears now. Earlier reports by local newspapersdetailed delays due to infighting and corruption.

In February this year a local newspaper re-ported that the municipality had to put all newcontracts related to the system on hold for thenext four months.

The municipality said they are still waitingforanadditionalR393 millionfromtheTreasuryfor its capital and operating budgets in this fi-nancial year.The municipality receivedR230 million in the 2014/ 2015 budget.

TWO schools are fast on their way to tradingin their textbooks for tablets after donationsfrom Deputy Minister of Communications,Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, in partnershipwith Vodacom, as part of their campaign forHuman Rights month.

Douglas Mbopha High School and ChattySenior Secondary School were the recipientsof several Information Communication Tech-nology (ICT) gadgetswhich include 26 tablets,a laptop, an interactivewhiteboard, twoprint-ers, free internet connectivity and computertraining for teachers.Ndabeni-Abrahams said they were hon-

oured to be part of a programmewhere Voda-com in collaboration with the Department ofBasicEducationhas realisedagap in themar-ket.“Through this programme, educators will

be empowered by the exposure to ICT whichwill thenenablethemtoimpartvaluableskills

to learners. It is encouraging to note that Voda-com seeks to ensure that needy schools acrossthe country have ICT learning tools and inter-net connectivity,” said Ndabeni-Abrahams.Vodacom Sales and Marketing head of De-

partment, Travis Goate, said this initiativewaspart of a national launch by the internet giant.“We will provide these schools with a zero-

rated access portal which means as long as theVodacomsimcard is in the tablets, the studentswill always be able to connect freely,” saidGoa-te.The first to use the ICT gadgets were Grade

12 students who said they were elated at theprospects of using tablets for studying.“It’s amazing and we are so excited. My only

wish is that this system had been introducedearlier,” said Grade 12 pupil, Shanice Rheebok.Candice Fortune said she was also overjoyed

and thanked the school teachers for giving herthe opportunity. “Most of us don’t have thesecomputersathomeandthiswillhelpuspreparefornext year aswehead touniversity,” sheadd-ed.

JAMAICAN-born reggae artist Iqulah tooksome time off from his performance at theOne Blood Music Festival to teach his audi-ence about the importance of love.

The USA-based artist was themain act ofthe festival which was held at the GrandHotel in Central, Port Elizabeth on Satur-day 21 March.Iqulah, who regards himself as the inter-

national ambassador for love and unity intheworld, said itwas important thatall peo-ple – black, white, brown or purple – givelove in order to receive love.In his “One Love” message, Iqulah, who

as a young man was inspired by the greatworks of Bob Marley, quoted the scriptureand said, “Love your neighbour as you loveyourself. If you give love you’ll receive love.You reap what you sow,” he said.When he met a young man from Congo

and told him that he was coming to sing inSouth Africa, the young man said he alsowanted to come to South Africa but he didnot have a visa.He asked, “A visa, to go to South Africa?

One land? You know when people want togo from one state to the other in Americathey don’t produce a visa! People of Africaandpoliticiansmust openup their landandfree their people from those boundaries.”The Rastas, according to Iqulah, are call-

ing for the United States of Africa. But be-fore that happens, he said, Africans mustcome together and be united.

He said this iswhat theRastafari is about,and that it is not about smoking ganja (dag-ga) as many people would like to believe.“Smoking is little thingwhen it comes to theliberties of Rastafarians,” he said to a loudapplause.

DEPUTYMinister of Justice andConstitution-al Development Honourable John Jeffery wasinNelsonMandela Bay lastWednesday as thebuild up to the National Human Rights DayCommemoration that would be held KwaLan-ga, in Uitenhage on Saturday 21 March.

He said the engagement at ThanduxoloHighSchool Hall, KwaNobuhle had been as a resultof work done with the learners of Uitenhageduring thisHumanRightsMonth toencouragethem to know their rights.It is a celebration of the sacrificesmade dur-

ing the struggle for liberation in South Africa.Theeventwasabuildup to the30thAnniver-

sary of the Uitenhage Massacre of 21 March1985 and the 60th Celebration of the FreedomCharter, said Deputy Minister Jeffery.SouthAfrica, according to Jeffery, has come

a longway in so far as the respect for basic hu-man rights was concerned.He said, “We’ve come from far as a country

in termsof therespect forotherpeople’srights.Rememberwecome fromavery lowbasewith-out the respect for Human Rights.”Leaners from KwaNobuhle and kwaLanga

listened to the Deputy Minister speaking andwere granted time to ask questions and makecomments on the topic of Basic Human Rightsand Constitutional Development.The right to learn was uppermost for the

learners while inability to fulfil that dream asa result of unemployment, poverty and lack ofresources like bursaries was highlighted.In an event themed “Access to Justice for

All,” the learners asked questions on theworkof criminal justice systemwhich they thoughtwas dealing differently between the rich andpoor members of society.Questions also touched on the right to a

house, health and protection from govern-ment.“Why is the president of SouthAfrica (Jacob

Zuma) not accorded the respect due to him,which was never a problem with other presi-dents - people draw pictures of the presidentthe way they like?” asked one learner.“I was impressed with the level of participa-

tion from the learners. So many of them hadasked questions and I was impressed withtheir level of interest,” said Jeffery.The main event of the Human Rights Day

Commemorationwill be held atRosedale Fieldin Uitenhage on Saturday 21 March.

DESPITE the fact that a block of class-rooms was burnt down by thugs onlymonths before thematric exams, Cos-elelani High School learners stuck totheir guns and achieved an 81%mat-ric pass rate.

But determination and hard workcan only go so far, when learners andteachers are fearing for their safetyowing to the risk of the roofless struc-ture falling in on them.Coselelani High School was broken

into in August last year.School Governing Body (SGB)

ChairpersonZamileFutasaidthebur-glars gained entry into a classroomthrough the roof and tried to go intothe computer lab.When they couldn’t gain entry to

the computer lab, owing to reinforcedbrickwork, they set the buildingalight.Fortunately, the computers were

not damaged.

Futa showed Express Indabaaround the blockwhichwas left with-out a roof. Thewalls are also slanting.Futa is concerned that the brick

walls could fall in at any timeand thatthe lives of the learners going to andfrom the computer lab, are at risk.“We experienced a setback in the

school with the burning of the blockwhere we keep our computers but wechose to focus on ourwork andnot letthatbringusdown,” said teacherLan-ga Tshangana.Tshanganaadded thatnot onlywas

their 81% matric pass pleasing, butthey were happy with the perform-

ance of their other grades too, espe-cially Grade 9.PortElizabethSApolicespokesper-

son Captain Andre Beetge confirmedthat two cases were opened for inves-tigation after the incident but nobodyhad been arrested.“Police are investigating a case of

housebreaking and fire. They’ll sure-ly make an arrest as soon as we getevidence pointing to the suspect,”said Beetge.Express Indaba asked Department

of Education spokesperson LoyisoPulumani for comment, but no com-ment had been received at time of go-ing to print.

HAVE you just finished school and want acareer that is in demand? Or are you cur-rently employedwith little time but lots ofambition?Are you on amission to study in-tensively and qualify still this year?

If so, maybe you should consider doing acourse via the Institute for Certified Book-keepers (ICB) and become a bookkeeper bystudying full or part time at Boston CityCampus this year.

Kerry Damons of Boston City Campus &Business College points out that bookkeep-ing is one of the top 10 priority scarce skillsaccording to Fasset (the Finance, Accountingand related Services Seta). “This means thatthere are jobs out there for qualified book-keepers,” says Damons. “In its Sector SkillsPlan Update April 2014 to March 2019, Fassetstates that bookkeeper vacancies exist be-causeapplicantsgenerally lack the skills, for-mal qualification and experience that em-ployers require. It follows that thosewho in-vest in accredited bookkeeping courses arelikely to find excellent work positions thatoffer good pay and good career prospects.”

Howdoyoubecome a qualified bookkeep-er? You can enroll for ICB qualifications atany of Boston City Campus & Business Col-lege’s campusesnationwide.Asanaccreditedtraining provider, Boston offers ICB Nation-al Diplomas as well as National Certificates.

Thewonderful thingabout ICBbookkeep-ing courses is that they canbedone full-timeor part-time and offer flexibility that notmanyother courses canmatch. Studying fulltime at a college is a popular option with

most school leavers. People who work butwish to improve their prospects and earningcapacityusually enrol for part time studyingat a college.

Damons believes that bookkeeping is anexcellent option for people of all ages andbackgrounds. “You can enter the bookkeep-ing field on different levels,” she explains.“Whether you come straight out of school orwhether you come from a work environ-ment that is totally unrelated to bookkeep-ing, it doesn’t matter.”

She cites the example of Stanley Groot-boom. In April 2012, Grootboom made abrave decision - he resigned from his job toregister at BostonBusinessCollege Port Eliz-abeth for the ICB Certified Technical Finan-cial Accounting National Diploma. Undernormal conditions this is a two-year qualifi-cation.

But Stanley calculated the cost of beingunemployed - knowing that the sooner hegot back to employment, the better - andcompleted his course within a year. Besidesdoing it in less time, he also achieved greatresults in his studies, averaging 88% overall.Grootboom was awarded the Best StudentAward at the graduation ceremony of Bos-ton City Campus & Business College PE.

“Remember also that you can start withan entry-level course and climb up to moreadvanced qualifications when it suits youand your budget,” Damons adds. “Studyingbookkeeping certainly has lots going for it.”

erMcEwan, said several businesses in the re-gion had already enlisted for the audits.“Companieswhich spend betweenR750 000

and R45million per annum on energy are eli-gible for up to four fully funded days of directon site support,” saidMcEwan. This includedenergy assessments, identification of energyefficiency opportunities, and follow-up sup-port, she said.The audits look at a range of energy-saving

measures which businesses can implement,and how they can reduce their CO2 emis-sions.Old Grey Union executive manager, Ian

Pringle, said Grey High School had enlistedin the PSEE programme to highlight any po-tential savings on its electricity usage. Theschool has already reapedhuge financial ben-efits from enlisting Rhino Group in 2011 toswitch its antiquated hot water boilers in thehostel to energy-efficient heat pumps.“Thanks to the heat pumps, we have been

able to save about R6 000 per month on elec-tricity costs, and that includes payment forthe new system,” said Pringle.“With this PSEE audit we are able to hone

in onwherewe can save further.We are look-ingat critical pointswhere the school isusinga lot of electricity.”McEwan said one audit revealed that ama-

jor local business could save more thanR12 000 annually – or reduce its carbon diox-ide emissions by 10 tonnes – simply by chang-ing the setting on the air conditioning systemfrom 18˚C to 22˚C.According to academic and green building

consultant, Chris Allen, it was important tochange themindset of businesses by showingthe cost effectiveness of reducing the relianceon Eskom.Allen, a formerGrey pupil, is behind initia-

tives aimed at transforming the prestigeGrey campus into one geared towards energyefficiency and renewable energy.“If we can inform the minds of pupils, we

can achieve a much greater transformationof thinking in terms of sustainability and getthemto informtheir parents tomakechangesat home and also in theirworkplace,” saidAl-len, an NMMU lecturer in Building Sciencefocusing on sustainable design and construc-tion.For more information on the PSEE audits,

NELSON Mandela Bay ABC Motsepeoutfit Real City secured three vitalpoints from the gallant Kokstad Liver-pool which they defeated 3-2 at Mother-well NU 2 Stadium on Saturday.

The problem of jetlag with Liverpoolplayers was evident in the first stanzaand City’s players capitalised on this.

City’s defender Onesimo Maxengwanaheaded home the first goal in the 15thminute.

Following the first goal, SipheleleGwenu Jonas scored from the penaltymark in the 20th minute. City’s skilfulmidfielder Sakhile Nkewana scored aneasy goal in the 42th minute.

Liverpool came up with good build-upsbut City’s goalkeeper Lolly Libanzi de-nied them. In the 50th minute, however,Liverpool strikerPhelani Mkane un-leashed a salvo thatbeat Libanzi to de-crease the deficit to3-1.

City were kept ontheir back foot for al-most the whole re-maining time as theLiverpool kept on

asking questions. Mncedisi Chutshelascored the second goal of Liverpool inthe 75th minute.

Liverpool could have equalised butNhlakanipho Zungu’s efforts were fistedby Libanzi at the end of the game.

Sparks flew when the Liverpool HeadCoach was given his marching orders bythe referee.

After the regulation time the Liver-pool manager and coaches together withtheir players nearly manhandled the ref-eree whom they claimed had robbedthem.Other ABC Motsepe Second Divisionresults:*Tornado 1-1 JB Milan*Highbury 3-0 Zimbane Killers*Cacadu United 1-0 SUBS*Tembu Royals 2-1 FC Buffalo*FC Elliot United 0-0 Matta Milan*La Liga 2-2 Angavu Stars*Mthatha Bucks 6-0 Morning Stars

IT’s all systems go for the 11th Ironman eventto be held in Nelson Mandela Bay on Sunday,with this year’s event raising the bar yet again.

Now known as the Standard Bank IRON-MAN African Championship it forms part ofthe exclusive championship series and ranksamong the top five races in the world outsideof the IRONMAN World Championship in Ko-na, Hawaii.

ItplacesNelsonMandelaBayalongsidecitiessuch as Melbourne and Frankfurt.

Withafieldofover2 000participants, theracethis year also sees the deepest and strongestprofessional IRONMANfieldeverassembled inAfrica, featuring world, European, NorthAmerican and Asia-Pacific champions.

The impact of the championship status canalso be seen in the entry numbers as 609 of thefield consists of international athletes makingup 30% of the total field.

ThewinneronSundaybecomes the first everIRONMAN African Champion, a title that willcarry significant weight across the triathlonworld.

Men’s fieldAmong the continental and world champion-

ship winners who will line up together withsome of South Africa’s most promising talentsat thestartonSundayare2013worldchampion,FrederikVanLierde fromBelgium,whoiscom-ing to race in Port Elizabeth for the first time.

Van Lierde spent two weeks in the City inJanuary to train on the course and to familiar-ise himself with the conditions.

In this year’s field, there are also three of lastyear’s top 10 Kona finishers with FrenchmanCyril Viennot the highest of the lot having fin-ished 5th.

Thereigningmen’s IRONMANNorthAmeri-can champion, TJ Tollakson, and another Bel-gian, Bart Aernouts, will also be making a firstappearance in Port Elizabeth. Aernouts is thereigning IRONMAN 70.3 European championand capped off 2014 with a top 10 finish at theIRONMAN World Championship and was re-cently placed third at theStandardBank IRON-MAN 70.3 South Africa in January.

TheSouthAfricancontingent isprobably thestrongest it has ever been as James Cunnama,Kyle Buckingham and Matt Trautman are allin contention for a podium.

Buckingham is sure to get a lot of supportalong the way as Port Elizabeth is his home-town.

Women’s FieldAmong thewomencontenders the favourites

areJodieSwallowfromBritainandLinseyCor-bin from the United States of America.

Swallow has a string of high profile resultsin 2014 andmade lightworkof the toughcoursein East London winning her fifth consecutiveStandard Bank IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa ti-tle in January.

Linsey Corbin makes her first appearance inSouth Africa. Her win at IRONMAN Austria in2014 will go down as a highlight.

Fellow American, Caitlin Snow, will also beone to watch at this year’s race. Snow has Konaexperience and has raced professionallyagainst the best on a regular basis.

Exciting time for tourismNelson Mandela Bay Tourism Marketing

Manager, Titus Chuene, said the elevation toStandard Bank IRONMAN African Champion-ship has bumped up the popularity of the eventand they expect huge numbers as a result ofStandard Bank’s aggressive promotion in thepast weeks.

“It’s an exciting time for tourism in the Bayand for businesses to grow. To facilitate thisgrowth we had numerous promotions togetherwith IRONMAN such as a public participationmeeting so they can reap the benefits and bepart of this event. We also informed businessesin timeof thedifferentroadclosuresso theycanbe better prepared.”

Chuenesaid theycouldnot at that stage, givean accurate indication on how much the citywouldbegaininginrevenuefromtheeventsay-ing, “We will only assess this on the bed nights.Somepeoplewill alsobecoming to thecity stay-ing with relatives which makes it hard for usat this moment to give figures on what we canexpect. But I can say that it will be much biggerthat last year’s figures.”

PE Hotel Group’s Public Relations Manager,LineWilliams,said theirBeachHotel isalreadya hive of excitement as many of the athletesstarted arriving as early as last week.

“Because we are situated uniquely at thestart and finish line of the race, our hotel hasbecome a preferred place for the athletes,” saidWilliams.

Williams said they had also had to changetheir menus to accommodate the dietary needsof the athletes.

“The major changes to our menus were en-suring that athletes had a high protein, glutenfree, carbo-loaded diet. Also because of theirpractice times being as early as 4am we had tomake sure that the hotel’s breakfast times aremore suitable to the athletes,” she added.

Activitiesduring the IRONMANweekend in-clude activities for the whole family.

The weekend truly kicks off tomorrow(Thursday), when the registration for the Stan-dard Bank IRONMAN African Championship,the Vodacom CTC and the Spur IRONKIDS aswell as The Health and Fitness Expo opens.This all takes place at The Boardwalk Under-groundParkingLevel1.EntrancetoTheHealthand Fitness Expo is free.
