“EGandUsherMemorialHospitalappears to lurch from one disaster toanother – first it was food and linenshortages for patients, now lives arebeing endangered during Eskom’sload shedding,” said Rodgers.
“The DA had previously been as-sured by KZN’s Health MEC, Sibong-iseni Dhlomo, that regular mainte-nance and inspections are undertak-enand that all emergencygeneratorsat hospitals in the province are func-tioning.
“Itwouldappearthatwhatdepart-ment officials are claiming and whatis actually happening on the groundare two different things.”
He said they have written to theMEC requesting that the mainte-nance and running records of theemergency generator at EG UsherMemorial Hospital are madeavailable to the DA.
Motha said the department hasmaintenance managers and staff athospitals whose duty it is to ensurethatallmachineryisinworkingorder.
“On the night in question, therewas load shedding and the standbygenerator kicked in and was opera-tional for an hour. However, it beganto malfunction during the secondhour of load shedding. At this point,maintenance personnelwas broughtintoinspect thegenerator.Thepowerreturned15minutes later. Itwas laterdiscovered the malfunction was dueto a loose wire, which was rectified.
“The generator is now working,and is due for its annual service inOctober.
“The department will investigatewhy there was a challenge with thegenerator when it needed to work.Most importantly, the birth of the ba-by went ahead successfully,” he said.

Horseshoe contractorstopped from working>> Concerned group described as ‘rebels and bitter losers’
NTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]
WARD 1 Councillor PhumzileNocanda described theHorseshoe Concerned
Group as “rebels and bitter losers”after a new contractor was notallowed to deliver equipmentrequired for construction in Horse-shoe as the group blocked the en-trance to the construction site on
Thursday morning.Mahlubi Transport and Plant Hire
was appointed three weeks ago toconstruct phase three of the Horse-shoe taxi route.
One of the members of the group,
Mawethu Nocanda, said they willnot allow the contractor to workin the ward until he is formallyintroduced to the community.
“We want Mahlubi Transport andPlantHiretostandbeforeussowecanask questions about the project,” hesaid.
However, threeweeksagoGreaterKokstad Municipality Deputy MayorBheki Mtolo and Cllr Nocanda intro-ducedthecontractortothecommuni-ty in absentia.
Nocanda said they told the com-munity at the beginning of the meet-ing to introduce the contractor in ab-sentia that the Mahlubi Transportand Plant Hire project manager wasin Durban.
“It isclear that theseso-calledcon-cerned group members are merelyopportunistic and attention-seekingpeople who are working against thisward instead of for it.
“They say they are fightingfor service delivery, but they are theones blocking the fast-tracking ofservice delivery - it doesn’t makesense.”
Some members were adamantthat the contractor would not be al-lowed toworkuntil he answers ques-tions fromthecommunityat thecom-munity hall.

Poet condemns xenophobic violence>> ‘When I came here for the first time I could feel the spirit of ubuntu in the atmosphere’NTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]
POET and TV presenter SheikPhirihasexpresseddisgustanddisappointment at the xeno-
phobic attacks in Durban this week.Phiri,aZimbabweannationalwho
has lived inKokstad formore than14years, said thekillingofpeopleon thebasisof theirnationality isa let-downespeciallybecauseitisperpetratedbySouthAfricanwhoknowhowpainfuldiscrimination is.
Phiri’s utterance comes after twodays of violence between locals and
foreign nationals in KwaMashu andlater in the Durban CBD.
“I won’t lie, I am really trauma-tised. Last week I was insulted by aSouthAfricanat the taxi rank-hesaidI am kwere-kwere (derogatory namefor foreigner), saying that I must goback to my country because the kingsaid so. A week later, people arebutchered and burnt to death inbroad daylight in Durban - it is dis-heartening,” he said.
Phiri has been involved in manycharity organisations in Kokstad, healso teaches at Kokstad prisons.
“Ever since I was in school in
Zimbabwe,IhavealwayslovedSouthAfrica. We studied about its historyand I fell in love with it. When I camehere for the first time I could feel thespirit of ubuntu in the atmosphere, Iwanted to help build this rainbownation,nowwiththisviolenceagainstfellow African brothers and sisters Iam really disappointed,” he said.
Phiri saidSouthAfricanshave for-gotten thevaluesonwhich itsdemoc-racy was established.
“We have forgotten what wewentthrough to be where we are asAfricans. For a person to burn a per-son alive means something has gone
for instance,” he said.“Fellow Africans, where has our
accommodative spirit gone? FormerPresident Nelson Mandela’s wife isfromMozambique, howdo you thinkshe feels when this happens? Let usove each other. Violence has never
been the solutionandwill never be. Ifthe are problems or disagreementswhy can’t we sit down and sort themout through dialogue? he asked.
He urged leaders in communitiesto condemn xenophobic violence inthe strongest terms.
Poet, public speakerand TV presenterSheik Phiri says hewas also on the re-ceiving end of xeno-phobic insults.

Peace committee fights stock theft
NTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]
A CROSS-BORDER meeting at NoMans Land (between South Africaand Lesotho) to discuss stocktheft was a great success as stockowners from both countries de-vised ways to curb stock theft.
The meeting, organised by theMaluti SAPS stock theft unit, wasin response to the growing scourgeof stock theft at the Qacha’s Nekborder. In attendance at the meet-ing were members of the peace
“Stock owners are doing allthey can to reduce stock theft, butgrowing and selling stock is the on-ly source of income for many.”
The 13-member committee,chaired by Mr Seshea and MrLeboru from SA and Lesotho re-spectively, was formed last year asa means to form a partnership be-tween the two countries that willfight stock theft.
Its efforts are slowly bearingfruit as more than 200 stock havereportedly been recovered by thecommittee.
The Sterkspruit Peace Com-
mittee, which fights stock theft inSterkspruit, has resulted in almostzero cases of stock theft being re-ported and has been invited to thenext meeting in Lesotho to offeradvice on fighting stock theft.
Stock theft has been a problemfor more than 20 years near theQacha’s Nek border, resulting inmany deaths.
At one point the South AfricanNational Defence Force was de-ployed at the border, but this diddidn’t end the problem. Commer-cial farmers have also reportedlosing millions to stock theft.

iba Spark Screenwriters Programme in 2013.He has since completed several short-film scripts,
one of which was bought by Noble Pictures in Johan-nesburg and is being rewritten for M-Net.

He was recently selected by The Writers Guild ofSouth Africa, in partnership with the Department of

“It’s a tremendous privilege for me as an individualand for my region. I look forward to learning and grow-ing and bringing that knowledge back to enrich ourlocal industry. Selling a film or series internationallyis one of my goals for this year and accomplishing itwould be just awesome,” said Johnson when askedabout being chosen for the conference.

Statue removal won’t create jobsIWAS in Cape Town recently and couldn’t stopwonderingwhat leaf those students at theUni-versity of Cape Town are on.
Their reasoning is that the statue of CecilRhodes should be removed from their campusbecauseitrepresentsourcolonialpastandper-petuates apartheid.
Well, thecouncilat theUCThassincecapitu-latedtotheirpressure.I’mquitecertainthatthecouncil took their decision just to maintainpeace in the university, good decision, silencethevandals.Whatisfunnyaboutthisreasoningof theirs (the students’) is that the entire city ofCapeTown,itsfoundation,isbuiltonourmuch-hated colonial past, so are all our cities.
Since it’s Let-Us-Destroy-Our-Past Season,will these people uproot the entire city of CapeTown. Don’t laugh at me. I’m trying to followtheir logic.
Todrivemypoint through,we inheritedEs-kom from our previous government. HowaboutwedestroyEskombecause it remindsusof our colonial past and apartheid?
Symbolism is important in politics, but Idoubt destroying statues will create employ-mentforthemasses.If theircall is“transforma-tion,”therearebetterwaysofattainingthat,re-sorting to barbarism isn’t one of them.

Rhodes,Shaka,Ghandi, partof our historyIWASsickenedasIwatchedourpres-ident giggling inanely while Mugabeinsulted South African history in theperson of Cecil John Rhodes. Icouldn’thelpwonderingwhatNelsonMandelawouldhavemadeofhisper-formance. I am sure that theMadiba,who persuaded a people with a frac-tured and wounded past, to put it allbehind them and build a country to-gether would have beenmore than alittle disappointed.
Likemanygreat characters inhis-tory (Shaka,andGhandi)Rhodeswascertainly no angel. But he achieved alot for South Africa and Zimbabwe -and left a legacy that all colours andgendersarebenefitingfromtoday.Hewas a man of his time as was Shaka,Ghandi and Churchill.
What will history say Zuma andMugabe achieved for their people? Ithas been documented that duringMugabe’s“reign”inZimbabwe,thou-sands of people died as a result of po-litical violence. What of our reveredpresident?He still hasn’t finished histerm of office, but perhaps economicmeltdown will be his legacy.
It would make sense to take whatRhodes gave this country and add toit in a significant and positive way.

Top tips for picking ahousecleaning service
>> Identify whichparts of your homeneed cleaning first,then get quotes fromcleaning services
MAKING the right choice willmean you can enjoy the ser-vices of a professional clean-
ingservice formanyyears tocome,soitisworthspendingabitoftimeinget-ting the decision right.
Here are some of the most impor-tant factors to considerwhenpickinga house-cleaning service.
Find out what is coveredWhich areas of your home do you
actually need to be cleaned? It is agood idea todecide this inadvance sothat you have a better idea when youask the cleaning service for a quote.
When you know exactly what youwant, this can help you to narrowdown the possible cleaners becausesomemaynotprovideeverythingyouneed.
For example, many cleaners andmaids provide basic services includ-ing sweeping, mopping, vacuuming,dusting surfaces, and making thebeds.However,somemayprovideex-tra services such as laundry, windowcleaning, carnet cleaning, cleaning
You should also search online forreviews of various cleaning compa-nies in your area. Many services willhave a website providing some de-tails, and you can then get in touchwith anythat youlike thelook of.
Onething to re-member atthisstageisthat priceshould notbe the onlyconsidera-tion. Youarelikelytofind a widerange ofprices, butbe warnedthat anyservicethat is verycheap may not provide the level ofcleaning that you require.
Ask essential questionsYoushouldwritedownsomeques-
tionstoaskthehousecleaningserviceand then call them up to get a betterideaofwhether theyareright foryou.For example, you could ask whetherthey are insured so that you are cov-ered for any accidents.
Youmayalsowant toaskabout thecleaners and whether they have hadany training, how much experiencethey have, and what types of checksthey havemade. After all, youwill beinviting these cleaners into yourhome, so you want to make sure youcan trust them.
Find out about the cleaningagents used
Youmayalsowanttofindoutaboutthe types of chemical cleaning agentsusedby the company. If you are aller-gic to certain chemicals, or you havechildren or pets, youmaywant themto use particular cleaning agents. Al-so ask them if they provide all of theequipment and cleaningmaterials or
whether you will have to providethem.
Arrange a trial periodA good way to decide whether a
housecleaning service is right for youis to ar-range a fewtrial cleans.That wayyou can in-spect there-sults of thefirst fewcleans anddecidewhetheryou want tohire theser-vice on along-termbasis. If youarenothap-py with thestandard ofcleaningafter a few
visits, you can look for another ser-vice.
Make your preferences clearCommunication is essential when
youfirsthireacleaner.Duringthefirstfew cleans, check the quality of theworkandmakesureyoudiscussany-thing of importance with your clean-er. For example, youmay have a pre-ferred way of making the beds orcleaning the carpet.
Rather than get cross with yourcleaner for not doing things as youwant them done, talk them throughyourpreferencessothattheycanpro-vide the best service possible.
Find the perfect cleaner for yourhome
Theseareallareas thatyoushouldlook into when you are choosing ahousecleaning service, so make sureyou keep them in mind. Finding theright cleaner may take a little while,but it iswellworthputtingintheeffortto do sobecause once youhave foundacleaneryoulike,theycouldbeclean-ing your home for many years tocome.
YOU MAY ALSO WANT TOFIND OUT ABOUT THE TYPES
OF CHEMICAL CLEANINGAGENTS USED BY THE
COMPANY. IFYOU ARE ALLERGIC TO
CERTAIN CHEMICALS, OR YOUHAVE CHILDREN OR PETS,YOU MAY WANT THEM TO
USE PARTICULARCLEANING AGENTSthe cupboards,
and more.Ask around
for referralsA good way
to start yoursearch is to askpeople youknow if theycan recom-mendaservice.Your family,friends, andwork col-leagues may beable to providea recommen-dation, and thiscould be a goodplace to start.They may alsobe able to warnyou off certaincleaners if theyhave had a badexperience.
