Chairperson of the Matsheni Committee Dumisani Mdlangathi said that the municipali- ty has forgotten the building in terms of basic service delivery. “Municipal waste trucks only come in once a week but too much [waste] accumulates in that time.

CRIME, filth, poverty, drugs and violence:these are some of the things that lurk inthe shadows of what can be noted as

Pietermaritzburg’s worst building - theMatsheni Beer Hall on the corner of Retief andHoosen Haffejee (Berg) streets.

At a tour of the premises, members of theCommunity Policing Forum, BusinessFighting Crime and municipal security werefacedwith towering heaps of rubbish from thesurrounding vendors piled in the middle ofwhat used to be a parking lot.

Future of TACunder threat>> Major donors, such as Defeat, have pulled out

NOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>[email protected]

WHILE the TreatmentAction Campaign (TAC)is celebrating ten years

since the inception of antiretrovi-ral drugs (ARV’s), its future is atstake, with the organisationneeding at least R35 million tosustain its project.

The organisation was formedonHumanRightsday16yearsago,in a bid to force the government todevelop a treatment plan for allpeople living with HIV.

As it stands,majordonors suchas Comic Relief and Defeat havepulled out.

Speaking to Echo, provincialhead for TAC in KwaZulu-NatalMzamo Zondi said that theystarted to notice in November thisyear that the organisation couldendure financial problems.

“Donor priorities havechanged. This happened at a timewhen we are in a critical phase,where people think HIV is nolonger a problem.We are facing achallenge with regards to theresponse of HIV and the growth ofpoor adherence.

“If the TAC is forced to close

down, the SouthAfrican Aidsresponse isunder threat asitwillreturntothepoorlevel.Intheprovince alone, we have 44branches which are mainlylocated in underprivileged areas.”

Zondi said that since theinception of ARV’s, the organisa-tion has been able to save 2.5millionpeopleandhasbeenabletoreduce the transmission from

mother to child to less than 10%.It is also behind the develop-

ment of the 2012-2016 nationalstrategic plan on HIV, TB andsexually transmitted infections.

To date, the organisation hasbeen able to raise R2 millionthrough public donations.

“We are grateful to everyonewhohasdonated, and this alone isaninstructionthatwemustcontin-ue to fight the battle. We see theirdonationsasasignofcommitmentto the response of HIV. We appealto more people to re-dedicate tochallenges that lie ahead. Wepledge to use the next ten years tosave more lives.

“We will continue to save thegains that we have made, and wepledge to build an organisation

that is transparent, frugal and wewill continue to work to be thebetterment of the people. Wesalute our health care leaders andgovernment leaders who haveworked tirelessly in fighting thepandemic, and who have made itpossible to get ARV treatment,” hesaid.

In a bid to fight the pandemic,the organisation will on Saturdaylaunch a Safer Sexual Practicescampaign.

The launch will coincide withcelebrating 10 years since theinception of ARV’s.

People who are willing todonatemay visit www.tac.org/do-nate or pick up donation forms atTAC offices at no 249 BurgerStreet.

School demands paymentSISO NAILEA PIETERMARITZBURGschool requested parents topay a registration fee for 2015when reports were collectedlast week to ease their“financial crisis”.

Parents at WoodlandsPrimary School were leftsurprisedwhen theywere toldto pay R500 towards nextyear’s registration.

A source close to the schoolsaid the decision was takentwo weeks ago at the school’sfinancial meeting, in an efforttohelp theschool recover fromits dire financial situation.

A parent, whose name iswithheld toprotect the identityof her child, said when shewent to the school to collecther daughter’s report, shewas told the report would only

be issued on payment of theR500.

“It’s not fair. The schoolshould not worry about nextyear’sregistration…”shesaid.

Another parent whoreceived her child’s reportwithout paying the registra-tion fee said she told them shewill pay the R500 in Januarybecause she wasn’t told aboutthis beforehand.

The source added that it isillegal to withhold pupils’reports. He also said theregistration fee was going tohelp pay the school governingbody positions, cleaners andthe electricity bills.

The Department of Educa-tion spokesperson, MuziMahlambi, said he wouldengage with the school to getmore details.

USINGmunicipal public toilets will soon costR2.

The Executive Committee (Exco) agreedthat the pay-and-use toilet system for public toiletswill curb people from abusing municipal ablutionfacilities, and that this system will be exercised atthe Publicity House public toilets.

The feasibility study for the pay-and-use toiletsystem for the whole city will be conducted beforethe system can be implemented.

A report circulated at the Exco meeting, whichhad been compiled by the tourism business unit,states that the public toilets at the back ofPublicity House are used by residents, roadtravellers and tourists.

“The issue at hand is that these public toiletshave been previously misused and vandalised bythe public themselves; hence we proposethat themanagement of these ablution facilities bechanged inorder toenhanceandmaintain themonregular basis.

“A programme of regular servicing,maintenance, upgrading and monitoring of thesepublic toilets should be prioritised, since they arewithin the commercial, business area, civic andtourist facilities, therefore servicing andmaintenance should be of high standard.

“These facilities should include toilet paper,hygienic water and hand drying facilities,” statesthe report.

It further states that paying for the use of publictoilets will succeed as this has been a fruitfulinitiative in other parts of the city.

TheMsunduzihaspromised that in theprocess,no employees will lose their jobs and thatemployees will be allocated accordingly. The unitmight have to implement a shift system as analternative to overtime.

TheR2chargewill go to thecooperative thatwillbemanaging andmaintaining the toilets and apaysystemwill be installed at these ablution facilities,said the report.

Out of order toilets and horriblestench

Some of the public toilets at theFreedom Square Taxi rank, oppositethe Natalia building, are broken andcannot be used by the public.

“We use the toilets, but most ofthe time there is no water so we arenot able to wash our hands after wehave done so,” said Nompilo Mkhizefrom Northdale.

The Freedom Square taxi rankpublic toilets are free to use and most

of the time, toilet paper is providedto the public by Msunduzi employees.

It is still not clear whether or notthe R2 charge might affect themunicipal public toilets at the Imbalitaxi rank along Pietermaritz Street inthe near future. These public toiletsare a health hazard, with a horriblestench that fills the air and leakingsewage pipes. On rainy days, thesewage seeps through the pipes andgathers at the bottom end of the taxirank tar surface. A couple of meters

away from these toilets are streetvendors who sell fruit andvegetables.

Doctor Stephen Knight from theDepartment of Public HealthMedicine at the University of KwaZu­lu­Natal previously stated thatfaeces, and even the smell of faeces,on pavements is unhealthy especial­ly with fruit and vegetable vendorsaround the area.

“Unless food is prepared anddispensed in a hygienic way, it can

lead to food poisoning and gastroen­teritis, which is a problem in youngchildren,especiallythosewhoarenotbreastfed or who are poorlynourished for other reasons.

“Solid waste which is notdisposed of properly attracts flies,rats and other pests such ascockroaches. All of these, butespecially flies, are known to spreadinfection. If there are faeces on thestreet, this is totally unacceptableand needs to be addressed by thelocal authorities.”

No toilets for street vendorsThe issue of the unavailability of

ablution facilities for illegal informaltraders has been raised at theExecutive Committee (Exco)meeting. With the city structuring itsinformal trade economy, it was oncehighlighted that with illegal tradersnot having access to ablutionfacilities and water services, it isunhygienic for them to sellrefreshments to the public.

Proximity of buildingsMunicipal manager Mxolisi Nkosi

told Exco that the Publicity Housetoilets are located next to the KZNPremier’s office, the Magistrate’sCourt and Parliament, which attractlocal and international visitors, andadded that there therefore is a needto impose the R2 charge formaintenance purposes.

This week, both female and malepublic toilets at Publicity House werelocked due to renovations and theFreedom Square Taxi rank femaletoilets were out of order and couldnot be used.

Filth angers Retief Streetbusiness owners>> Owners say that the municipality has neglected to provide municipal services for area

NQOBILE MTOLO>>[email protected]

BUSINESS owners along RetiefStreet have slammed theMsunduzi Municipality for not

taking on the responsibility ofcleaning thedirty andblockeddrainsalong this busy street.

Theseowners say that themunici-pality has neglected to providemunicipal services for the localbusiness district along Retief Street,one of the busiest business districtareas in Pietermaritzburg.

Lined with filth and concreterubble, the business owners say thatRetief Street has been an eyesore tothe public for many years.

Seeing that their cries fell on deafears, these business owners tookmatters into their own hands byrolling up their sleeves and cleaningthe filthy street.

“Can somebody tell me what themunicipality is doing? We are theratepayersof thecityandyetwecleanthestreetsourselves.Whyisit thatwemust cleanwhereas there are peopleat the municipality whose responsi-bility it is to clean the streets?

“The mayor usually talks oflawlessnessbuthedoesnot know themeaning of it. TheMsunduzimanag-ers areonly interested in themselves.Thegeneralpublicneeds tobe taughtaboutkeeping their city cleanand themunicipality needs to provide dustbins for theRetief Street area,” statedone business owner.

With the Public Urban RenewalProgramme(Purp)underway,pilesofconcreterubblewereleftuncollected.Theproject is expected to face-lift the

streets of Pietermaritzburg and,among many other elements,involves the upgrade of citypavements.

Nonhlanhla Mngomeni fromNorthdale said that the municipalityshould meet the demands of its ratepayers.

“Lack of service delivery affectsboth residents and businesses. It is

about time that municipal manage-ment comes down hard on streetcleaners,” she asked.

Last week Monday, the MsunduziMunicipality’s communications unitwas sent a media query to find outwhat themunicipality is doing or hasdone to clean the Retief Street area.

At the time of going to print, themunicipality had failed to respond.

MEN In Heels marchparticipants dominated thePietermaritzburg streets this

past Saturday.Aimedat rasing awareness against

the abuse of women and children, themarch proved to be a success.

Marching from outside theUniversity of South Africa (Unisa)campus along Langalibalele(Longmarket) Street, down to theCarbineers Garden near the City Hall,a pool ofmenwhoattended themarchwore stilettos and high heels as a signof literally being in women’s shoes,and served as a tool for raisingawareness against rape, sexualassault, gender violence and childrenabuse.

This is the second annual marchhosted by the Youth of Choice wingunder the Msunduzi Municipality.

The Men In Heels March is meantto highlight the importance ofthe awareness around the 16 Days ofActivism for No Violence AgainstWomen and Children campaign.

This awareness campaign takesplaceeveryyearbetween25Novemberand 10 December.

Men In Heels March organizer,Lungelo Sithole said that the turnoutfor this year was better than lastyear.

He urged the public to get involvedand fight women and child abuse.

“I am happy with the turnoutbecause it shows that the awarenesscampaign is growing. Generallyspeaking, people get bored reading

educational information on socialissues and awareness programmes.

The Men In Heels March is aninteresting and entertaining way ofbringing such social issues to light,”said Sithole.

Gagasi FM DJ Collen Zondo wasalso present at the event. He said thatthe 16 Days campaign should beextended throughout the year.

The 16 Days of Activism for NoViolence Against Women andChildren awareness campaign endedyesterday.

NELSON MANDELA, theepitome of forgiveness>> “Moral decay is a

threat to the movement.”

NOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>[email protected]

ANC national ChairpersonBaleka Mbete has cited moraldecay among political leaders

as undermining what NelsonMandela stood for.

Delivering a memorial lecture atthe Edendale Lay Ecunemical Centreon Friday, to mark a year since hepassed on, Mbete said: “The moraldecay in our ranks is a threat towhat‘Tata’ fought for.

“The core-values of the organisa-tion seem to be decaying and little bylittle, we are losing respect.

“The state is instrumental,thereforeachaotic legislaturecannotachieve this historic task.”

Mbete further encouraged cadresto liveuptotheprinciplesofMandela,saying that he was an epitome offorgiveness.

“Mandela was able to show usthe best way to do things in thenew South Africa. He taught usto steer away from hatred and torise above anger and emotions, evenif someone has wronged you.

“He taught us that if you are aleader, you do not have the luxury of

being emotional, as youhave to thinkand make decisions.

“Tata taught us that when youare a leader, you have to be informedin order to be able to explain toothers.

“As we remember his life, we alsopay tribute to all the cadres whosacrificed their lives for all of us.”

Mbete further said that whilethe triple challenge is to fightpoverty,unemploymentand inequality,moraldecay is a threat to the movementand there is a dire need for politicaleducation schools.

Umgungundlovu district MayorYusuf Bhamjee said that Mandelarepresents the embodiment of whatthe organisation is about.

Before the memorial lecture,Mbete together with the provincialleadership visited the northernareas where they had a clean upcampaign, before laying flowers atthe Nelson Mandela Capture site inHowick.

Reflecting on our time>> The Tatham Art Gallery’s newest exhibition is made up of artworks it has acquired in the past 20 years

THE Art of Democracy: Twentyyears of collecting has openedat the Tatham Art Gallery.

The exhibition, which can beviewed in the main gallery space,showcases a selection of artworksfrom the gallery’s permanentcollection, all of which have beenacquired since 1994. The works,which are normally displayed invarious areas of the gallery in ChiefAlbertLuthuliStreet,areidentifiedbycoloured labels.

Visitors to the Tatham are invitedtoreflectonwhathashappenedinthegalleryinthepast20yearsandtoviewdirector Brendan Bell’s choices.

The selection gives some idea ofhow the growth of the permanentcollection has been affected by thechanges that have taken place inSouth Africa. Political, social andeconomicshiftshave impactedonthegallery’s acquisition’s policy, as haveexpansions inartmakingand theory.The most challenging aspects ofcollecting during this period havebeen selecting for inclusivity, thecollapse of barriers betweenso-called “high art” and craft, andfocusing thegallery’s roleasaregion-al repository of visual art heritage.

Among the artworks on show areThami Jali’sWater Container, GladysMgudlandlu’s View From BehindTable Mountain and RichardStretton’s Linenfold.

Also on show at the gallery isGenerous Friends, a showcase ofworks acquired by the Friends of theTatham Art Gallery (Fotag) for theTatham’s permanent collection.

These works can be viewed in theSchreiner Gallery from 10 am today.

“For the last 30 years, Fotag hasgenerously assisted the gallery toacquire works for its permanentcollection,” said Bell.

“This has occurred particularly attimes when funding from themunicipality for the purchase ofartworks has been reduced or cutaltogether. Fotag committee mem-bers run an annual programme ofevents at the gallery in order to raisefunds for this purpose. This exhibi-tion gives an overview of interestingand important art works that havebeen acquired for the permanentcollection through the efforts of thesebusy but dedicated friends.”

Among the works on show is apiece by Siyabonga Sikosana ofDambuza Clinic.

There are also works by HeatherConyngham - Joy and Portrait of aYoung Man, and digital prints byKudzenai Chiurai.

The Tatham Art Gallery is openfrom10 am to 5 pm, Tuesday to Sun-day. It will be closed onDecember 25and 26 and on January 1.

when we’re talking workhorsemodels.So, after pulling out all the stopswith the bells-and-whistles Legend45 package now standard as thetop-end Hilux, Toyota says it hasturned its attention to the utilitarianside of things with a thoroughre-work (pun intended) of the Hilux2.5 D-4D SRX.Already on sale, the new “raisedbody” version of the Hilux XtraCab replaces the previous low-bodyversion.In response to customers’ requests,theautomakersays: “it addresses theneed for increased ride height andground clearance, as well asimproved approach and departureangles, to tacklechallenging terrain”.Heavy-duty 16” steel wheels help the

“Saqala laphaya phansi siqhudelana namawadi

qinile ngokomoya nangokomzimba ngoba phela nathisijimile kanti nemiyalezo emnandi yokusikhuthaza isi­yenze okuningi kithi.”

Kanti umqeqeshi walesikole uMsa Coka uthe se­memi ngomumo futhi abesabi lutho.

“Hhayi thina asibesabi futhi kobonakala khona se­sishikisha kube mnyama phansi,”kusho uCoka.
