‘Electionsnot freeand fair’>> ‘Marriage of the IEC and ANC isdetrimental to our democracy’NTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]

ECONOMIC Freedom Fighter(EFF) members in Kokstadhavecriedfoulovertherecent

general elections saying they werenot free and fair.

This comes after ballot boxeswere reportedly found near theMzintlava River bridge on Sunday.

Outraged EFF members alsoclaimed that atmore than six votingstations around Kokstad IEC staffwere active ANC members.

Harry Gwala Regional Commis-sar of the EFF Dumisani Dlaminitold the Fever that the Electoral Actwas grossly violated by ANC mem-bers who were reportedly cam-paigning and giving out T-shirts onelection day.

“ANC members were distribut-ing T-shirts during the voting proc-ess and when we raised the issuewith the presiding officers, who arealso active ANC members, theyturned a blind eye,” he said.

Eventhoughtheballotboxesthatwere found were empty, Dlaminisaid they suspect that there wereballotpapersintheboxesassurgicalgloves were also said to have beenfound near them.

“Whoever threw those boxesaway was finished with their joband theydid itwith theutmost care.We are almost certain that therewereDAandEFFvotes in thosebal-lot papersand that iswhy theywerethrown away,” Dlamini said.

EFFmemberswent to the IEConTuesday to lay a complaint regard-ing the discovered ballot boxes.Electoral Projects Co-ordinatorNkosinathi Mlisana told the EFFthat they would investigate and re-port back to them on Wednesday.

Dlamini said if they arenot satis-

fied with the IEC investigation theywill take thematter to thepolice.Hefurther accused the IEC of being “inbed” with the ANC. “The marriageof the IECandANC is detrimental toour democracy and if not checked itmight spark political violence,something we do not want in ourbeautiful democracy,” he said.

Meanwhile,HarryGwalaDistrictIEC manager Simon Lingani con-firmed that the ballot boxes werefound empty, saying he would waitfor any action taken against him bythe IEC.

THEChinesewifeofUnderbergbusiness-man Raymond Watt, who has accusedhim and his friend Trevor Hudson of

beating her in the parking lot outside a localrestaurant lastDecember,brokedownin tearsmore than once under cross examination inthe magistrate’s court yesterday.

Sanhuan Wang (44) alleges that Watt,owner of Thaba Tours — whom she initiallymet on the Internet and latermarried inChinain 2009 — assaulted her by, among otherthings, pushing her, pulling her by herhairandkickingher in thecarparkoutside theOliveTreerestaurantonthenightofDecember15.

She alleges that Hudson joined him in the

assault and thatWatt did nothing to stop himbeating her.

She was rescued by a woman named“Lisa”who intervenedand tookher to safety.

Thedefencehas suggested thatWangwas“drunk” on the night in question and fell inthe car park, but she denied this in her evi-dence and said she only had two single shotsofwhiskymixedwithCoca-Cola to drink thatnight.

Yesterday, when defence attorney Rich-ardStretchbegan toquestionWangaboutal-leged differences and “inconsistencies” be-tween her testimony in court and the con-tents of an application for a protection orderagainst Watt which she brought on January10— three weeks after the incident—Wangbecame distraught.

She told the court it was possible that theinterpreter had failed to interpret the factthat she said she was “punched” by Watt inthe vehicle (as she stated when she appliedfor the protection order).

However, after an adjournment to enablecourt officials to listen to a recording of theevidence, the interpreter said he had notmade a mistake in that regard.

Wang later told the court there was noMandarin (Chinese) interpreter availablewhenshemadeastatement to thepolice, norher affidavit for a protection order.

Thecasehasbeenadjourned toJuly28 forfurther evidence.

EDITORIAL COMMENTElections were freeand fair

ELECTIONS, in which the opposition had its mem-bers harassed or its activities unfairly covered bythe state-owned and government-controllednews media organisations, elections in whichstate-owned news media organisations have beenturned into mouthpieces for the ruling party to theexclusion of the opposition, cannot be said to befree and fair or promote peace.

The ruling party may enjoy the advantage ofincumbency, but the rules and conduct of theelection must be fair for peace to be guaran-teed.

Peace can only be guaranteed if we are able tohold elections whose results the losers accept asreflecting the true voice of the voters. It is thereforeimportant to maintain and strengthen our demo-cratic and electoral structures if we are to witnesspeaceful politics.

The major players had to agree on the condi-tions under which this year’s elections would beheld. With all that said, in the recent elections inour country, we can confidently say they were freeand fair, despite the fact that there were some re-ported incidents and glitches here and there, butoverall they were credible, free and fair.

GREETINGS to the people of Kokstad.Election results

As I indicated lastweek SouthAfrica partici-pated in the fifth general elections on Wednes-day 7May. The electionswere historical for thepeopleofSouthAfricabecauseallthosechildrenwho were born in 1994 voted for the first time.I was also over the moon after voting in thosehistorical elections.

Like everybody I put my voice across andmadesureIchosethegovernmentofSouthAfri-ca. InKokstadinparticular therewerenoissuesof violence reported and people behaved welland respectedeachother’s right to vote.The re-sults of the elections have been released by IECand were accepted by the political parties. It isimportant to thank all the people who voted onWednesday. Their contribution will enable us

meetingsI wish to indicate that the public is allowed

to attend council meetings as they are open tothe public. As themunicipality we also encour-age the community to attend thesemeetings. Infact, I am planning to engage the speaker onmakingsurethatthecommunityispartandpar-cel of councilmeetings asmandated byMunici-pal Systems Act. With the town hall renovationin the final stageswewillhavemorespace toac-commodate the community. However, it is very

disturbing if the community members visitthese meetings just to disturb council proceed-ings. The sitting of the council is guided by thecouncil’s rules of order and everyone enteringthe council chambers has to abide by thoserules. We humbly appeal to people to respectcouncil rules when visiting council meetings. Itis not in our interest to order people to leave thechamberbecauseoftheirconduct.Wehopethatwe receive your full co-operation.

WARM greetings to the people of Umzimkhulu.A few days ago the entire nation marched to the

polling stations to exercise their right to vote, whichis enshrined in our Constitution.

This took place despite many dissenting voices

telling people to spoil their ballot papers. We greatlyhonourthepeopleofSouthAfricaforshowingmaturi-ty by not listening to them, but instead, using the op-portunity to choose the government of their choice.

We congratulate the African National Congress forits overwhelming victory in the 2014 elections. Thisshows that the people of this country entrust theirhope in the African National Congress. We shame themedia and other counter-revolutionary forces be-cause they campaigned negatively against the rulingparty. This government has actually changed the livesof the people, which has been reaffirmed by this victo-ry. Indeed, we must not disappoint our people, butmake them happy with services.

Again, it is significant for us to share with you theplans of this municipality before the end of the finan-cial year. We are unstoppable in service delivery. Thememorial hall is being demolished in order to erect a

new state-of-the-art building. This building will com-pletelychangethelookofthetownandwillaccommo-date staff and a gymnasium.

The Auditor General is on site for an audit of thethree quarters. We welcome the initiative because itaims to reduce work for the municipality. In July thefocus will be on the last quarter. If the municipalityachieves a clean audit in the three quarters, this thenwill be a sign that we are moving along the correctpath. Salga KZN was in Umzimkhulu to congratulatethe Umzimkhulu Municipality for attaining a clean au-dit in the 2012/2013 financial year. It has displayedits admiration with a token of appreciation. We arevery excited to receive a certificate that recognisesa good achievement. This is a historic moment forUmzimkhulu in achieving this audit opinion.

The Salga entourage was led by M.R. Gwala, thePEO of Salga KZN.

to pray against what they call “thedevil’swork”. Themeetingwascalled

Principal Ndlovu said that a maleGrade 8 pupil was surrounded by agroupofpupilswhohithimrepeatedly.

“We rushedwith some teachers towhere the group of pupils was andtooktheboytosafety,”hesaid.Ndlovusaid he was not sure why the pupilwas beaten. In another incident onthe same day, another group of CarlMalcomess pupils, who had beenlocked outside the school gate be-causeof lateness, became involved inafight that turnedseriouswhensomepupils, who were inside the schoolpremises, jumped the fence and gate

to get into the fight.“Someofthesepupilswerecarrying

Regarding aprayer issue Ndlovu said it is not truethat therearenoprayers in theschool.

“We have never stopped praying.Whathappensisweonlyhaveoneas-sembly prayer a weekwhere we alsoconduct announcements, and onother days prayers are conducted inclasses, to save time,” he said.

It is believed that the fight was acontinuation of what had started theprevious day (election day) in Horse-shoe between Horseshoe andBhongweni pupils. Even though thecause of the fight is not known somewho were involved said that pupilsfrombothtownshipswereundermin-ing each other. One of the parents atthemeetingquestionedthelevelofse-curity at the school, and it was re-vealed that the school does not havea security company that is paid for bythe Department of Education, but itdoes have a security guard.

Another parent urged parents todiscipline their children at home be-

Wacky winter weekend: hockeyand rugby

On Saturday, 10 May our u/7, u/8andu/9 girls aswell as u/11andu/13boys had a busy day on the sports

wards the Nelson Mandela capturesite just outside Howick. This wasquite a poignant moment as it wasexactly 20 years ago that the firstdemocraticelectionswereheld.Afterviewing the cleverly crafted steel col-umns and browsing through themuseum, we continued our journey.After a few hours of travelling staffwere starting to hear, “Are we nearlythere yet?” The response, “no, anddon’t ask that again for another sixhours,” did serve to silence a few.

We eventually arrived in the pic-turesque town of Barberton at6.30pm. After unpacking, we weretreated to a hearty supper by ourfriendly hosts at Barberton HotelSkool.

The followingmorningweheadedto the Barberton Museum wherepupils were told about the geologicalhistory of the area and were eachgiven a greenstone. We then did theHeritage Walk, which included theVictorianMuseumHouses, theblock-houseand the façadeof the first stockexchange in the Transvaal.

Our visit to Sudwala Caves andDinosaur Park that afternoon sadlyhad to be postponed due to transportproblems. This however, did notdampen pupils’ spirits. The nextmorningrequiredanearlystartasweheaded off to Malelane Gate for amorning in theKrugerNationalPark.

Plenty of impala and kudu werespottedamongotherantelopesuchaseland,duikerandwaterbuck.Guineafowl, a number of bird species,warthog, giraffe and buffalo were al-so spotted.

At one stage, an elephant cowwasseen next to the road and as the firstbus rounded the corner, it unfortu-nately upset the elephant bull thatwas crossing the road.He turnedandmade a mock charge toward the busand then decided to get slightly

angrier, but after some very tenseminutes (that felt likeaneternity), thebus driver saw an opportunity to getpast him. Needless to say, this wascertainly the story of the day as theterrifying moments were recountedover and over.

Later in the morning, we heardthat there was a pride of lion on theRenosterkop road.Weheadedoff on-to the gravel road, but due to thehighrainfall in the area, there was quite adeep drift thatwas only accessible by4x4 vehicles and our buses had toturn around thus missing this excit-ing sighting.

After exiting at Numbi Gate, wemade our way to Graskop. The daysthat followed included tours of thePanoramic Route, which includedGod’s Window, Blyde River Canyon,Bourke’s Luck Potholes andMacMacFalls and Pools.

Blyde River Canyon and Bourke’sLuck Potholes took our breath away— the beauty and magnificence ofthis area is indescribable. Somepupils temporarily conquered theirfear of heights just to see the beautyof this area.

The last daywas scheduled for thevisit to Sudwala Caves. In the amphi-theatre (where Miriam Makeba andthe Drakensberg Boys’ Choir haveperformed), our tour guide askedpupils to perform a musical item todisplay the acoustics in the caves.

Theyallsteppedontothestageandperformed a beautiful rendition of agospel song, which delivered an ap-plause from a number of other tourgroups in the caves.

It was then time to head home —leaving the majestic MpumalangaMountains and scenery, to head forthe hills and mountains of KwaZulu-Natal.
