KHAYA MAGENU and NTUNTUDWEBA

THE Greater Kokstad MunicipalCouncil Chamber was nearlyturned into a boxing ring by

dividedANCcouncillorsatapreliminarysession meeting in preparation for thepremier’s visit last Friday.

KZN Premier Senzo Mchunu was toarrive in Kokstad on Saturday to cele-brate Human Right’s Day. The meetingturned chaos as ANC councillors ex-changedinsults,pointing fingersateachother.

This paper is in possession of a videoclip that shows Deputy Mayor BhekiMichael Mtolo and Cllr NtomboxoloMqikela arguing loudly. The argumentwas sparked when Mqikela questionedwhy corruption investigation reportswerenot tabled to thepremier.Mtolo re-torted asking why councillors are con-cernedabout reports that havenot beenconcluded. The harsh exchange ofwords ended when ANC Cllr TsibisoMohlakoana shouted at them sayingtheymuststoparguinginfrontofopposi-tion party members.

Fever understands that Mtolo, theformer secretary of the ANC YouthLeague in KZN, insulted other ANCcouncillors, saying they are broke anduseless and they will not come back ascouncillors in the upcoming 2016 localgovernment elections.

Among the reports questioned byMqikela is the corruption investigationreportby theKZNTreasuryDepartmentwhichwas given to the Greater KokstadMunicipal Manager, Zamo Mkhize. Thereport is believed to implicate certaincouncillorsandmanagers inthemunici-pality.

DespiteKZNTreasury SpokespersonNtokozoMaphisaconfirmingthatthere-port had been given to the municipalityon 11 September 2014, Mayor NosisaJojozi and the municipal manager de-nied being in possession of the final re-port when the Fever asked about it.

“The recommendations of the find-ingswere included in thereportand fur-ther details required can be obtainedfromthemayorandmunicipalmanageras they arenow the custodians of the re-port,” Maphisa had said.

GKM speaker, also ANC spokesper-son in the Harry Gwala region, ZolaniMhlongo said he is unaware of such anincident, but said as theRECof theANC,they will investigate the allegation andharsh steps will be taken if need be.

Regarding the investigation reportMhlongo said the ANCmaintains its po-sition that the report is not out yet.

THE Harry Gwala District Mu-nicipality speaker, MandlaNgcobo, has been suspended

from the ANC for a year, and firedfrom his post.

Ngcobo last year wrote aletter to the ANC provincialexecutive committee al-leging corruption by hiscolleagues. He blew thewhistle on party mem-bers, alleging theywent on a propertybuying spree usingcouncil money.

The letter wasleaked to theMail &Guardian. He wassubsequently chargedby the ANC’s regional

executive committee for bringingthe party into disrepute and sowingdivision within the party.

Ngcobo approached the KwaZu-lu-Natal High Court in October tostop themunicipality frommakingaalleged irregular payment to a com-

pany, which he claimed,hadbeenoverpaidbyR14 million.

Ngcobo wasalso suspendedas the speakerfor ill disciplineand miscon-duct after helost a caseagainst theawarding of asecurity compa-ny. He lost thebattle in courtcomplaining that

the companywas awarded a tenderto provide services at the municipaloffices and other properties forR241 858amonth, this is accordingto a report which notes the scope ofthe tender.

“By virture of his suspensionNgcobo will no longer be a speaker.Wehave foundhimguilty ofmiscon-duct,” said Harry Gwala regionalANC spokespersonZolaniMhlongo.

He said the disciplinary commit-tee found Ngcobo guilty of not re-specting the ANC’s internal processin line with the national generalcouncilof2010,whichstatesthatbe-fore taking the organisation to courthe had to exhaust all internal proc-ess.

“Wedecided toreleasehimas thespeaker of the municipality. At thenext council sitting in two weekstime we will select a new speaker,”said Mhlongo.

Ngcobo could not be reached forcomment.

FROM PAGE 1Global Water Day in MatatieleSOUTH Africa is one of the mostwater­stressed countries in theworld, and climate change isthreateningthewaywedependonrainfall for water provision. Wateris the most basic of needs and wecannot survive without it.

Matatiele Local Municipality islocatedin the easternuppercornerof the Umzimvubu basin, provid­ing an important catchment sup­plyingoveronemillionpeoplewithwater. The Matatiele area boasts10% of its land area as wetlands,the highest in the country. Thesewetlands act as a sponge absorb­ing and filtering rainfall, and func­tioning like an engine rechargingthe ground and surface water sup­plies for the rest of the catchment.

The municipality and the Um­zimvubu Catchment PartnershipProgramme (UCPP) hosted anevent for Global Water Day, as partof National Water Week, on 19March. The UCPP team involvedthe Alfred Nzo District, the Depart­ment of Environmental Affairs,Endangered Wildlife Trust, De­partment of Water Affairs, Con­

servation SA, Lima, ERS, WESSAandtheMalotiDrakensbergTrans­frontier Programme.

Despite several challenges, likehaving to relocate the venue fromtheNchoduwetlandstwodaysbe­fore because of strike action on theQacha’s Nek road, the event wasa success.

The event was attended bynine schools from rural villages inthe area. These schools are sup­ported by WESSA’s EcoSchoolsprogramme.

Six activity learning stationswere set up near the Khoapa wet­lands.

These consisted of a display onwater­related careers, a waterquality testing station demon­strated by technicians from the Al­fred Nzo Water Service Authorityand three hands­on stations, in­cluding soil augering to delineatewetland margins, soak pits andclarity tubes, and a station forcatching and identifiying all thenoonoos which live in water andwhich indicate water health orproblems, using a system called

miniSASS.DWS, Lima and ERS sponsored

promotional gear including caps,stickers, bags, rulers and bucketswhich were distributed to partici­pants.

Andrew Lucas, DWS WaterQuality director from KWT, saidthat their department has tried toestablish many local water fo­rums, and none have survived,while he has watched UCPP gofrom strength to strength. Heloved the hands­on aspect andencouraged councillors to be pro­active in addressing water conser­vation and quality issues in theirconstituency.

Programme director Cllr No­masomi Mshuqwana said she fi­nally understands the water cycleand how we urgently need to actnow to avoid “water shedding”along with load shedding. Shewelcomed participants and facili­tated excellent plays provided bysome of the EcoSchools, whichprove that Matat has its very ownlittle celebrities.

Shocking state ofschool questioned>> 197 pupils arecrammed into sevenmud classrooms

FEVER REPORTER

THE KZN Deputy Leader of theDA, Francois Rodgers, is towrite to the MEC of Public

WorksRaviPillayandMECofEduca-tion Peggy Nkonyeni about what heterms is the shocking state of Ham-banathi Senior Primary in Umzim-khulu.

Rodgersrecentlywentonanover-sight visit to the school.

“Uponmy visit to the school I dis-covered that 197 pupils are cram-med into seven minute, old anddilapidated mud classrooms withbroken windows, leaking corrugat-ed iron roofingandbare cement andmud floors.”

He said one of the classrooms ispartitioned off with corrugated ironand serves as a kitchen to preparefood for pupils.

“The principal and staff have touse a storeroom full of equipment asthe principal’s office and staff room.On my visit I witnessed young chil-

drenreceiving inoculations fromtheDepartment of Health officials withabsolutely no privacy,” he said.

“The irony of this situation is thaton the very same property stands amagnificent new school with anabundance number of classrooms,enough for each grade to have theirown classroom. It has staff roomfaculties, store rooms and even aguard room at the entrance.”

He said the only challenge is thatthe buildings have not progressedpast roof height.

The Fever understands that con-struction at Hambanathi Senior Pri-mary started in 2010. In 2012 thecontractors left the project, far fromcomplete, no further constructionhas taken place and the half-builtschoolandfacilitiesstandemptyandderelict.

Three years later and the build-ings resemble nothing more than ashell, with roof trusses rotting frombeing exposed to the elements.

The reason for abandoning con-struction is unclear.

Sihle Mlotshwa, the KZNDepart-ment of Education spokespersoncould not comment on thematter ashewasdrivingtoNkandla.Hesaidhewould contact the SisonkeDistrict toget clarity on the matter.

At the time of going to press nocomment had been received fromMlotshwa.

INanefforttoaddressthehighlevelofunemploymentandskillsshort-ages in Kokstad the municipality

sought the intervention of ServicesSector Education and TrainingAuthority (Seta),whichisresponsiblefor skills development in the servicessector.

Peopleofallagesandfromallcom-munitiesaroundKokstadgatheredatthe Riverview stadium for the career

guidance,skillsdevelopmentexpoonTuesday and Wednesday.

Cllr Monde Nondabula said themunicipality approached ServicesSetaafternoticing that the levelofun-employment is high in Kokstad andpeople lack skills.

“We wrote to Seta seeking its as-sistance in giving our communitiesskills that will help reduce illiteracy,the level of unemployment and ulti-matelyreducepoverty inourcommu-nities,” he said.

Hesaideven though theeventwas

organised for the youth, the careerguidance and expo was relevant topeople of all ages as unemploymentaffects everyone.

AndileNongogo, Services Seta theChief Financial Officer said their in-tervention is through funding.

“WhatwedoasSeta iswecontrib-ute money towards the developmentof skills and we do that through run-ning internships, apprenticeships,bursaries and learnerships that pro-vide skills,” he said.

Attendees were required to fill in

to R50 million in funding, dependingon the skills shortage analysis withinGKM.

Clarifying questions from thosewho do not have matric, Tshepisosaid there are apprenticeship oppor-tunities that involve on-the-job train-ingandwhichare sometimesaccom-panied with study.

“We have NQF level 1 which isequivalent to Grade 9 that enablespeople to be trained in the sector oftheir expertise, this is usually forthosewhoaregoodinsay,bricklayingorcarpentry,butwhodon’thavemat-ric certificates, so those people are

trained in thatparticular fieldandre-ceive certificates,” she said.

She added after training in theapprenticeships offered by ServicesSeta people then undergo a tradetest which enables them to beregistered as artisans if they passthe test.

Nondabula asked on behalf of theyouth whether Services Seta offersassistance forpeoplewhowant to geta driver’s licence.

“Foranyissuerelatedtotransport,people can approach Transport Setawhich is a division that deals with allmatters of transport,” she said.

Splashy debuts best new artists this yearWELL­KNOWN for breaking newartists, this year’s Splashy Fen is noexception.

The festival, now in its 26thyear, has debuted countless youngbands, many of which went on tobecome household names acrossthe country.

South Africa’s internationalblues maestro, Dan Patlansky al­ways credits Splashy Fen withhelping launch his career. He callshis debut at Splashy in 2002 hisfirst “really big gig” and one thatopened doors to more bookings.

Says festival organiser, PedroCarlo: “As one of the premier livemusic showcases in the country,Splashy is obviously a great wayfor up­and­coming artists to sharetheir music with larger audiences,and we’re passionate about givingthem that opportunity.

“Of course it’s great to have topestablished artists in the line­up,but it’s often the lesser­knownnames that make the biggest im­pression and become the ‘finds’ ofthe festival. For us, a successfulline­up is one that includes a bal­anced mix of new and establishedartists.”

Last year’s winner of SplashyFen’s prestigious battle of thebands was Mickey Burns. The Dur­ban five­piece opened the festivalin 2014, which in itself is a huge ac­colade for any aspiring youngband, gaining them invaluable ex­perience on a big festival stage aswell as wide media exposure.

The band then went on torecord their debut single Recovery,which is currently receiving airplayand climbing the charts on radiostations around the country. Mick­

ey Burns will be back at Splashythis year and are set to bring thehouse down with their new mate­rial and energetic live show.

Some other new acts to lookout for:

Howie CombrinkEat It While It’s Hot is Howie

Combrink’s debut solo album, andwhat an album it is. Not only didhe play all the instruments on eachof the 11 tracks, but he also wrote,recorded and produced the entirealbum. Having just recentlybagged two nominations for the2015 South African Music Awards,in the categories Best Newcomerof the Year and Best Adult Con­temporary Album, Combrink iscertainly hot right now.

Based in Johannesburg, Com­brink describes his music as“acoustic funk reggae folk”.

Die WolwedansArising from the ashes of The

AK Massive, Die Wolwedans hasbeen around for six months. Leadsinger and guitarist Mark McMa­hon says the four­piece band wasformed because they missed thelive music scene.

Explaining the name, McMa­hon says: “It is taken from a cultseventies Afrikaans radio show,Wolwedans in die Skemer. Wol­wedans translates into ‘The Wolf’sDance’ which is the perfect SouthAfrican hipster rock n roll name.”

Moonchild SanellyIf a sexy underground take on

a fusion of jazz, R&B, pop, rock andpoetry sounds good to you, thenthe gorgeous Moonchild Sanelly isyour lady. Recording and perform­ing with a five­piece band, this un­conventional young artist honed

her skills on the Durban musicscene. She has since relocated toJohannesburg.

Held on a farm near Underbergin KwaZulu­Natal, the Splashy FenMusic Festival is coming up overthe Easter long weekend from 2 to6 April and will offer a line­up ofmore than 80 of the country’s hot­test acts. Also included on the billare Matthew Mole, Shortstraw,aKING, The Muffinz, Taxi Violence,KAHN (frontman for The Parlo­tones), MonArk, Beast, Dan Pat­lansky, Hot Water, Urban Creep,The Anti Retro Vinyls, NakhaneToure, Majozi, Reburn, VerandaPanda, The Kiffness, Pascal &Pearceand5FMDJCatherineGren­fell, among others.

Visitors can look forward tomultiple stages, a new EDM mar­quee featuring more than 30 dee­jays, as well as a craft beer arena,drum village, loads of food anddrink outlets, plus a craft marketand retail zone.

Camping for the entire four­night, five­day festival is includedin the ticket price. Another optionis Andy’s Tent Motel offering acomfortable and hassle­freecamping experience. There is alsoa separate family campsite, or youcan choose from a wide range ofaccommodation in the area.

Sponsored by Tourism KZN,Splashy Fen has been going strongsince 1990 and is South Africa’slongest­running annual music fes­tival. With its spectacular moun­tain setting, winding river, openfields and unique vibe and charac­ter, there is simply nothing elsequite like it.

autofeverFifth-generationOpel Corsa arrivesin South Africa

>> All new fifth­generation Opel Corsa setto continue strong 32­year history

THE new fifth generation OpelCorsa will reach Opel dealer-ships in South Africa this

month. The local introduction comesjust four months after the Corsa’s in-ternationalpremierat lastyear’sPar-is Motor Show.

The Opel Corsa has established it-self as a perennial bestseller throughfour model generations spanning 32years, with over 12.4 million unitssold globally.

Togetherwith theAstra, it isOpel’s

most popular model, accounting forover a quarter of the company’s salesevery year. The new fifth generationCorsa is set to build on its reputationas an all-rounder by offering seg-ment-leading levelsofcomfort,preci-sion and efficiency.

Initially, the new Corsa will bemade available with Opel’s state-of-the-art three-cylinder1.0-litre turbo-charged ecoFLEX engine with threetrim levels:Cosmo,Enjoy,andEssen-tia.

“We have shifted the goal postswith a totally convincing and desira-ble small car that makes driving eas-ier andmore fun. The newCorsa hasclass leading connectivity, conve-nience and comfort aswell as drivingsatisfaction,” says Opel brand man-ager at General Motors South Africa,Christopher Cradock.

“Affordability and value-for-mon-eyhavealwaysbeenCorsahallmarksandwiththenewvehicle,thesearesetto continue.

“We have ensured that all deriva-tives in the new Corsa range adopt ano-compromise approach to thosemost important vehicle aspects,along with the availability of ‘optionpacks’ to enhance the vehicle to the

owner’s taste and satisfaction.”With its inspiring design, innova-

tive technology and engaging drive,the new Corsa will appeal to singlemen and women, professionals withyoung families, and young-at-heartdriverswho love great cars andwantsomething that will set them apartfrom the crowd.

TheexteriordesignofthenewCor-sa is all about dramatic surfaceswithcrispsculpturedlines.AswiththeAD-AM, the design of the new Corsa isruled by Opel’s latest design philoso-phyof “sculptural artistrymeetsGer-

Beware of unskilledworkmen

CARRYING out worthwhile im-provements to your home has timeand again been recommended bythespokesmenfor theSouthAfricanproperty sector on the grounds thatnotonlywill these increase theown-er's enjoyment of his property buttheywill, inmost cases, add more tothe value of the home than the sumoutlaid.

Bill Rawson, chairman of theRawson Property Group, says you

cannot be too careful in choosing ateam when it comes to upgradingyour home.

He says on an owner's primaryhouse, such improvements are de-ductible against capital gains tax,and in the case of enthusiastic im-provers, this has been known to re-duce the tax to negligible amounts.

Nevertheless, in undertaking up-gradeprogrammes, great caremustbe taken to employ qualified work

oper’srelativelynewmultistoryresi-dential developments, the owner ofa unit contracted with an organisa-tion to supply and install customde-signed shelving and cupboards. Incarrying out this task, the installerdrilled into awater pipe,which thenflowed strongly for several hoursflooding not only the unit, but alsoadjacent units and several of thoseon the floors below it.

"The water for the whole blockwas eventually turned off, making itimpossible for a largenumber of theoccupants to lead their lives inanor-mal way.

“Washing, cooking and othersuchactivitieshadtobeputonhold."

Rawson says when flooding oc-curs in a multistory building, thedamage costs can run into sixfigures, and although the owner'sinsurancemaycover it, inmanycas-es itwill not, and theperson respon-sible may well be sued by the bodycorporate for thefullcostof thedam-age.

In thecasedescribed, itwasclearthat the contractors didnot have thewater pipe detection instrumentwhich should be part of any installteam's kit.

If this instrument is run over thesurfaceofthewall,it immediatelyre-veals if there is awaterpipebeneaththe part tested, he says.

In another case, the installer of anew hot-water geyser adjusted thethermostat so inefficiently that thewater in it was constantly boiling.

It took almost a month for theowner todetectandrectify theprob-lem, his attention having beendrawn to it by the high electricitybills.
