THEToti Conservancy, in light of theinadequate maintenance allega-tions,notifiedthenaturalresources

department about the situation.According to local resident Lee Lewis,

thefacility,whichisanadvertisedmunici-pal tourist attraction, is in a terrible state.“The general deterioration is clearly asign of inadequate maintenance. Earlierthis year there was an issue about thebirds allegedly not being fed. I went therewithahugebagof foodandnoticed at thatstage that the water was black, thick andmurky. That’s when we started question-ing the water quality,” Lewis said.Continued on page 3.

Sanctuary’s stinky situation

SONJA NELL>>[email protected]

FROM PAGE 1Another resident voiced her con-

cerns in an e-mail to the Toti Conserv-ancy. “The ongoing sewage stink isnow so bad that one almost doesn’twanttobreathewhilevisitingthepark.Thewater is pitch-black and thick andat the moment the water is drying upandthebirdlife is almostnon-existent,baraSpoonbillandafewducks.Some-thing has to be done as now the stenchis keeping people away.”

Acting on the community’s outcryCllr André Beetge visited the birdsanctuaryand sayswhathe foundwas“absolutely appalling”.

“The pond, canal as well as riverleadingoff theparkandeventually intothe Amanzimtoti River are totally pol-luted to the point of bubbling brown

andblacksilt.FromwhatIamtold, thissewage flow allegedly originates up-stream from the KwaMakhutha areaand increases during the night.

“Pelican and other species have al-ready died as a result, with a fewbirdsplodding around in what is now asewage pond.

“It is very clear why residents andschools are avoiding the area— it haschanged from being a serene wildlifehabitat to nothing but a stinkingsewage dam.

“The worst being that this didn’thappen overnight— it has apparentlybeen going on for some time, yet thereappears to be no urgency to seek aresolve,” Beetge says.

In response to the questions posedby the community and the Toti Con-servancy who investigated thematter,the municipality’s natural resourcesmanager at the bird park, Khumbu

Luthuli, said the oil on the water mostlikely came fromthesomewhere in theSouthgate Industrial Park, saying thatherdepartmentwouldrunwater tests.

Shesaidthatsheandhercolleagueshad decided to dig out the pond be-cause it was completely filtered up.Shealsoadmittedthatshehadnotseenany fish in the pond for some time.

The Toti Conservancy’s chairper-son, Laura Taylor also visited the parkseveral times.

“There is a thin film of fatty oil thatlooks like it has come from a kitchenfat trap, but the main problem isdefinitely not oil. The smell of sewageis overwhelming, the pond is a thicksoupy black colour and it is definitelysewage, and the source needs to betraced,” Taylor says.

The results of the water sampleswere not available at the time of goingto press.

FEVERMunicipality concedes to FaurcoAFTER a prolonged standoff be-tween Faurco Investments and theUmdoniMunicipality over the leaseto the beachfront Wimpy restau-rant, AfriForum, the national civicassociation,hasannouncedthatthepartieshavesettledthematteroutofcourt.

This entails a 10-year rentalagreement in favour of the current

lessee, Faurco.AfriForum played a key role in

mobilising public support for Faur-co’s campaign to be awarded a newlease to theproperty ithadoccupiedfor some 28 years.

The municipality sought to evictFaurco, stimulating widespreadconcernthat thiswould leadtoasig-nificant decline in the attractions of

the beachfront and the revenueproduced.

Chris Fourie, provincial co-ordi-nator for AfriForum in KwaZulu-Natal, commented that “we haveshown that the Scottburgh commu-nitywill not allowpoliticians to ruinour beautiful town and turn it into aghost town”.

Wardcommunitythreatens

>> ‘We will vote against any party that supports thereplacement of our current councillor’SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE infighting in Umdoni’s Ward 6, andparticularly Riverside Park (RP), has in-tensified with a number of participants

appearing in court on charges of public vio-lenceandabarelyveiledthreatfromcommuni-ty members that they will switch their alle-giance to rival parties if the ANC does not heartheir plea. The issue is now firmly in the open.

“Donot even thinkof removingour council-lor, Themba Ngobo, from office and give himunqualified support against threats andactivi-ties that are making his job as councilloruntenable and his life unbearable.”

Asawardcouncillorelectedinhispersonal capacity, Ngcobo can onlybe removed in three ways — legalimpeachment,defeat inanelectionorbyhisownresignation.So-calleddeployment is not a constitutionaloption.

There is no doubt thatthere is a vociferousgroup known vari-ously as the hous-ing developmentcommittee (HDC)or Committee of15 which is agi-tating for Ng-cobo’s removaland replace-ment. Corre-spondenceandopinions ex-pressedtotheFever by the

RP communitysuggest that it is a minority faction from theSanathan informal settlementwhom they accuse of racismand violence. Theviews of what claims to be the overwhelmingmajority from the wider Ward 6 communitystands firmly in defence of Ngcobo. And adogged and unequivocal defence it is. A state-ment handed to this reporter at a meeting lastweekstates that“wedonotwantourcouncillorThemba Ngcobo to be replaced by any othercouncillor as we are proud of the excellent jobhehasdoneforus.Therehasneverbeenanoth-ercouncillor inthiswardwhohasgivenservicedelivery in themanner thathehasdone”.A list

of 14 achievements credited to Ngcobo fol-lowed.Thethreat toreject theANCif it re-jects them is also clear.

“We will vote against any party thatsupports thereplacementofourcurrentcouncillor by a person deployed to rep-resent views directly in conflict withavowedANCpoliciesandwhicharedis-

advantageous to the interests ofour Ward 6 community.”

It does not seem to be impor-tant to our municipality that visi-tors or people making deliveriescann’t find their way in our town.

It cannot be that there is nomoney available to buy somepaint and have somebody carry

out this simple task, but NeelJacobs was not prepared to waitany longer andhasnowstarted torectify thispoor imageofourtownhimself.Hatsoff fortoJabobswhodoescareabouttheimageofScott-burgh.

ANDso thegood life continueswith therulingparty retaining thepower to lootthe public purse.

I feel it showswhat canbe achievedwith a little intimidation, spreadingrumours of government grants beingwithheld, promises of entry into theKingdom of Heaven, reported misuseof state resources, a party’s own state-owned TV channel, the promotion oftribalism, condoning corruption,manipulating the law, participating inan escalating crime rate, makingsimilar unrealistic promises as previ-ously and buying votes with blanketsand food parcels.

An uneducated, primitive andpliant populationmust be any govern-ment’s greatest asset. Angie is doing agreat job. Now we will see a new cropof government ministers having theopportunity to fill their personal cof-fers with tender bonuses, etc.

That’s democracy working for thepeople.

A profound quotation came to mynotice recently — “Until the power oflove exceeds the love of power therewill be no peace.” Food for thought.

THE election is over and the ANC have secured an over-whelmingvictory,andwill rule for thenext fiveyears.How-ever,basedontheprovincialvote,theDAgrewfrom15.92%in 2009 to 23.47% in 2014,with an increase of 2684 votes.The ANC by comparison grew from 65.13% in 2009 to66.24%in2014,withanincreaseof1925votes.TheDAbeatthe ANC in all the coastal voting districts and grew signifi-cantly in Umzinto.

WealsobeattheANCintheGhandinagarVD.Whatisclearfrom the results is that urban residents support the DA andruralresidentssupporttheANC.Fromouranalysisthefollow-ing reasons and influential factors have emerged.• Rural residents do not yet trust the DA.• There is still a strong emotional loyalty to the ANC.• The threats of social grants losses had a real impact.• The promises to stave off property tax, and enforcementof bylaws, tariffs and other regulatory controls, had an im-pact.• The bogus claims of white domination and a return toapartheid had an impact.• In 2016, it will be amuch largermunicipality andwewillbe callingonall ourmembersandhelpers to continue theirsupport, and to assist in the work of growing our supportbase.

Election analysis

WE, the community of RiversidePark,whovoted for theANC,havebeen insulted and threatened bythe comrades of the HDCwho callthemselves ANC.

We are happy with our wardcouncillor (Themba Ngcobo) andappreciate what he is doing for usin our community.

Whenever there is ameeting in

Riverside Park members of theHDC interrupt it, pass remarksand threaten us as well as ourward councillor.

We, the community will take astand if our ward councillor is re-placed.

On18May,therewasameetingat thepublic librarywhichwas in-terrupted bymembers of theHDC

whobecameviolentandwantedtoassaultourcouncillor.Weareveryangry at being insulted, threat-ened and called Makulas. Therewasasimilar incidentonaSundaywhen the police arrested some ofthem. We stand together with theANC, united and not divided.

Riverside Park community

We, the community, will take a stand

AS a party agent and therefore observer of the voting process at Pennington’spolling station at the library on 7 May,I would like to record my admiration forthe professional manner in which thepolling was conducted and monitoredby Raymond Sawathien, Ramba andtheir IEC team at that station.

They set the standard with excellent job descriptions and the entirefunction delivered from there on.

Rescue vs unwanted birthsFROM June we will be able to sterilise14 “underprivileged” dogs from ourrural areas a month. This will befunded by our Tale End Charity Shopin Phala Centre, Amanzimtoti.

The support from the public hasbeen amazing and no amount of say-ing “thank you” will ever be enough,but know that every single dog we dois happy and grateful.

We see the joy every time we steri-lise a dog. They seem to know that

they will never have to worry abouttheir puppies again and that they willnever have to give birth to their pup-pies in a cold, dirty place or in a holein the ground.

To everyone who donated goodiesand to those who bought, thank you.You make everything we do possible,and you guys give all these animals avoice.

There was no criticism of this state of af-fairs from those present, but the facts pre-sented spoke for themselves. While nine ofthe 12 dams within the forum’s area are

above 75% capacity, the three supplying theUmdoni area currently average59%andaredropping rapidly. Along with that comes ahost of other problems. E.J. Smith Dam atUmzinto, which is at 41% capacity from93,3% three months ago, has a conductivity
