FAMILY members of aKwaZakhele motherwho went missing justover three weeks ago,fear that theymay never

get answers regarding her disap-pearance, after her boyfriend alleg-edly hanged himself last week.

Azola Wendy Njokweni (30), whois themother of a girl (6) and an em-ployee of the Department of BasicEducation, mysteriously wentmissing on Monday, September 14.Her boyfriend, whose name is

known to Express Indaba, alleged-ly hanged himself last week. Dur-ing the investigation into Azola’sdisappearance, he denied anyknow-edge of her whereabouts.Azola’s supervisor, Antoinette

deWet, said accounting clerkNjok-weni had not turned up for work onthat day – something which wasvery unusual for her.“We thought she might be out of

town and was unable to phone be-

cause it was not her style to misswork and not communicate withus. By the time she had been ab-sent fromwork for two days, we re-ally started worrying,” De Wetsaid.After trying fruitlessly to reach

her on her cell phone, they contact-ed her family and the police.“Azola was beautiful at heart.

Everybody loved her in the payrollsection,” De Wet said.“She was a quiet person who did

not speak unless it was really nec-essary.“We knew that she had issues

with her boyfriend, who was notthe father of her child.“We knew this, because there

were timeswhen shewas physical-ly abused and told us that her cur-rent boyfriend did it.“We do not know whether she

was still seeing the father of herchild, but we know that she lovedher baby girl very much.”De Wet said they had sent out

posters and messages on Whats-App and Facebook, asking for as-sistance in locating Azola.Azola’s sister, Ntombizodwa

Njokweni (42), who has been look-ing after Azola’s daughter sinceher disappearance, said theirhome was in Ncapayi Street inKwazakhele, but thatAzola renteda flat in Ngcangca Street, also inKwazakhele.She said they had accompanied

the police to Azola’s flat. “The po-lice forced the doors of Azola’s flatopen in order to search it, but Azo-la wasn’t there.”They then took the police to Azo-

la’s boyfriend’s address to makeinquiries. The boyfriend allegedlydenied any knowledge of Azola’s

whereabouts.“He told the police he did not

know where Azola was. I was notconvinced. I asked him myself andhe still denied knowing. He saidAzola had asked that he gave hersome space,” said Ntombizodwa.Ntombizodwa said that while

they were searching for Azola athospitals, police stations and

friends, they had been shocked tohear last Friday that Azola’s boy-friend had allegedly hanged him-self.“The police told us he had left a

note, but had said nothing aboutAzola. We do not know what to doanymore,” she said.Police spokesperson Constable

Mncedi Mbombo confirmed that a

missing persons case had beenopened for investigation at theKwazakhele police station. He alsoconfirmed that the boyfriend’sdeath is believed to have been a sui-cide.Anyone with information which

could assist the police with findingAzola should call the KwaZakhelepolice station or 082 303 1028.

THE city manager could soon be sent pack-ing, but his replacement could become thecornerstone in the political battle for Nel-son Mandela Bay in 2016.

According to Prof. Joleen Steyn-Kotze, po-litical analyst from the Nelson MandelaMetropolitan University (NMMU), the rul-

ing party would face a lot of pressure if theyreplaced Mpilo Mbambisa. Mbambisa, whohas been on sick leave since the start of Sep-tember, is facing a string of fraud and cor-ruption charges. The municipality is still inthe final negotiation stages of a settlementagreement, after whichMbambisa is expect-ed to vacate his post. Negotiations are ex-pected to be finalised this month.

The metro will then have to choose his

successor carefully, said Steyn-Kotze. “It isa highly contested position because of theauthority that comes with it,” she pointedout.

“A lot of allegations of political interfer-ence have surfaced in the past, though it ismeant to be an administrative position on-ly. The next citymanager will have to be onethat is impervious to political influence.”

This decision could be an important fac-

tor in themunicipal elections in 2016, Steyn-Kotze added.

“TheDA is coming on quite strong in theircampaign. If the candidate for city managercomes fromwithin the ANC ranks, the focusshould rather be on skills and leadership,as opposed to political background.

“The city needs a manager who can riseabove corruption and lead the metro for-ward.”

DAmayoral candidate Athol Trollip was inWalmer Township last Friday as part of hiselectioneering campaign, “Sixty Wards inSixty Days around Nelson Mandela Metro-politan Municipality”.

He was accompanied by PE West constit-uency Leader and MPL Bobby Stevenson,PR councillor ThobaniNoqoli and otherDAlocal leaders. During his visit to G-West, anarea without electricity and sanitation,Trollip said this was part of assessing forhimself the dire sanitation conditions inwhich residents have found themselves,even 21 years after democracy.

“Even the road into this area shows thatthe people living here are not cared for,” hesaid, adding that the visit to Walmer, the22nd Ward, was aimed at addressing thesecond of his seven pillars launched duringhis campaign last week - eradication of thebucket toilet system.

The bucket system, he said, was the crea-tion and legacy of the apartheid govern-ment, and for which the ANC governmentshould also shoulder the blame after 21years in power.

In the last count last year, according toTrollip, there were 30 202 bucket toilets inNelsonMandela Bay and 3 000 of thosewerein Walmer Township.

“This is a travesty and a disgraceful lega-cy of corrupt, uncaring government that

has failed dignified sanitation to the peo-ple,” said Trollip, telling residents to usetheir democratic right andunseat theANC.

Distressed residents took Trollip aroundto showhimand his entourage and journal-ists the mess they were in, without propersanitation, after countless promises fromthe ANC-led municipal council.

Resident Nomaxabiso Phillip said it wasvery difficult for her family of nine to re-lieve themselves with dignity.

“We are a family of nine in a shack. Weuse one bucket which is shared betweentwo shacks. It is collected once in twoweeks, and we have to pay the collectors atip, otherwise they won’t collect it,” saidSandisiwe Noqulo, another resident.

Trollip promised to personally hand overan application to the provincial SouthAfri-can Human Rights Commission in EastLondon and to write to Water and Sanita-tion Minister Nomvula Mokonyane, de-manding an urgent and total eradication ofthe bucket system in the metro. He said hewould also solicit a meeting with mayorDanny Jordaan to demand that the budgetallocated for bucket eradication was spent.

Failing this, sick and tired residentswoulduse their democratic right to votehisparty out of the municipality.

He urged residents not to use ineffectivestrategies like toyi-toying.

“Demand change or vote themout of pow-er next year. That’s the power you have.Use it.”

THE King of AbaThembu Buyelekhaya Dal-indyebo – who is facing a 12-year jail term –has announced that his son, Azenathi Zaneliz-we Dalindyebo (23), would take the throne ifhe goes to jail.

Dalindyebo made this announcement in anexclusive interviewwithExpress last Sunday,October 4 at Bumbane Great Place.

Dalindyebo’s announcement followed ajudgement handed down by the SupremeCourt of Appeal (SCA) in Bloemfontein onThursday, October 1.

Dalindyebo had been convicted in 2010 inthe Mthatha High court of crimes like arson,assault with the intent to cause grievous bodi-ly harm, culpable homicide and defeating theends of justice.

He was sentenced to an effective 15 years inprison and he appealed. He said even now, asthe Royal family they were going to appeal inthe constitutional court regarding the judge-

ment.“So everything will depend on the outcome

of the constitutional court. But even if I am go-ing to jail, my son will take the throne as mysuccessor.

“I am prepared for anything, but if God isaroundme therewill be nothing thatwill hap-pen even in that prison and I will never giveup in praying. Even if I go to jail that is notthe end of the road. There is a life even afterthe prison,” said Dalindyebo with his face fullof shame.

Meanwhile, on the same day, Bumbane hashosted a number of traditional leaders ofAbaThembu, discussing the matter of how tosave theking.Among the issuesdiscusseddur-ing themeeting,was the clarity onwho shouldbe members of the royal house and who not.

The Dlomos who were present at the meet-ing also agreed to support the king financiallywith his court battle.

A prayer session was also conducted, ap-pealing to God to save the king from this darkcloud shadowing him.

A FORMER Molly Blackburn HighSchool matriculant, now in his thirdyear of medical studies in Cuba, sayshis encouraging grandmother, teach-ers and the support of the Coega De-velopment Corporation’s (CDC) mo-bile science laboratory initiativehelpedhim turnhis dreamsof becom-ing a neurologist into a reality.

Lubabalo Jonas, whowas raised byhisgrandmother inKwaNobuhle,Uit-enhage, is a third-year student at theEscuelo Latinona Americana de Me-dicina – an international medicalschool – in Cuba.Speaking at his old school while on

a visit home recently, he attributedsome of his success to the unwaver-ingsupporthereceived fromtheCDCmobile science laboratory initiative,his teachers and family.“My grandmother always encour-

agedmeandmy five siblings to followour dreams and said that educationand hard work were the key factorsthat propelled one to greatness.“Resources are limited in the tradi-

tionally black schools, but the CDC’smobile labs afforded us a chance toput into practice the theoretical workwe learnt in class,” Jonas said.CDC maths and science project

manager Mpumezo Ndabeni said hehad seen a significant increase in stu-dents using the services of themobilelab since its introduction in 2010, andthereafter pursuing studies in the

much-needed science, technology,environment and maths industries.About5 000pupilsayearareassist-

edbythe labs,whicharebased inUit-enhage, Mdantsane, Alice, FortBeaufort and Mthatha.During the 2014/15 financial year,

the CDC spent R1.1-million on theprogramme.“The purpose of the initiative is to

supplement physical science studieswithpracticalwork,sincemostof thehistorically disadvantaged schoolslack the resources to attend to thisimportant learning component,”saidThandiRayi, CDCCSImanager.“We believe that mobile science

laboratories can close that gapthroughtheuseofmoderntechnolog-ical equipment. TheCDC labsnot on-ly providematerial resources, but al-so laboratorymanagerswho providehands-on assistance,”Jonas, who hopes to be an astute

neurologist like American Dr BenCarson, said the language barrier hadbeenachallengewhenhe firstarrivedin Cuba, as all the modules weretaught in Spanish.However, after attending a three-

month language course, he and theother South African students wereable to translate the Spanish litera-ture.The Cuba project is a collaboration

betweenthetwocountriesandisfund-edby theEasternCapeDepartment ofHealth, with the aim of boosting thenumber of medical practitioners inthe province.Ndabeni remembers Jonas as hard-

working and “always determined toachieve the best results in class”.“I am happy that he has come this

far with his studies,” Ndabeni said.CDC mobile science lab facilitator

William Bell also recalled how fo-cused and diligent Jonas had beenwhile at school, and said he had beenone of the best pupils he had tutored.“More than half of the scholars at-

tending the mobile labs programmecontinue with their studies in thefields ofmathsandscience,”Bell said.“TheCubaproject is also a great op-

portunity for aspiring doctors, assome come from underprivilegedbackgrounds and are prevented fromcontinuing with their studies owingto financial difficulties.”

WOMEN belonging to theUniting Reformed Church inNew Brighton asked for per-mission last Thursday to prayfor the end of the scourge of po-lice killings.

New Brighton police stationcommander, Colonel SolomonSamson, accepted the callfrom amanina with openarms.He had given the church’s

Christian Women Ministry onits usual day of prayer, Thurs-day, an opportunity to evokethe Holy Spirit of God to takecontrol, police spokespersonConstable Mncedi Mbombo

said.“About 20 women accompa-

nied by church rector Rever-end Luxolo Titimana werejoined by members of staff, in-cluding police detectives andvisible policing, human re-sources, support services,community police forum andvictim support centre mem-bers - all calling on God to in-tervene,” Mbombo said.The killing of police was

wrong, the URC women said.“Police officials are humanbeings too. They are fathersand mothers, sons and daugh-ters and relatives who areemployed to look after com-munities, to provide safety.“We want to say thank you

for this initiative by the Unit-ing Reformed Church WomenChristian Ministry. Eventhough we ourselves do prayin pursuance of our jobs, weappreciate the initiativewhich sends a very strongmessage that some people outthere care. We hope otherchurches will do the same,”Mbombo said.

NATIONAL Assembly speaker,Baleka Mbethe, visited theNqadu Great Place in Willow-vale last week to hear the griev-ances of traditional leaders aft-er a request by the AmaxhosaKing Zwelonke Sigcau.

Mbethe was accompanied bythe speaker of the Eastern Capelegislature, Noxolo Kiviet, andparliamentary social develop-ment commitee chairperson,Zoleka Capa.The meeting with King Sig-

cau was preceded by a gala din-ner where the speaker and herEastern Cape legislature coun-

terpart engaged with an organi-sation representing womenfrom the royal households,called Imbumba Yamakhosika-zi Akomkhulu.The purpose of the dinner

was to discuss the role womencould play in the advancementof rural communities.Among the grievances voiced

by the traditional leaders wasthat most of the time they feltleft out by ward councillorseven though the land belongedto them.They asked the government

to ensure that it also engagedthem when taking decisions,for instance on the issue of chil-dren being allowed to have

abortions at the age of 12. Thatwas supposed to be discussedwith the traditional leaders, be-cause it involved children wholived on their land, they said.Sigcau also lashed out at the

government over the way hewas treated. He said they hadasked several times that theroad to the sea be upgraded andtarred, because it was used bytourists.“We have asked this several

times, but no one is fulfillingthe promise. To ensure thatthere is a good relationship be-tween us and the government,these problems must be ironedout. We also have a bridge inthis area which is killing peo-ple because it is not in a goodcondition.”He said he was the king of the

Xhosa nation and that evenPresident Jacob Zuma had at-tended his coronation ceremo-ny, but that he was not treatedlike the king of Kwazulu-Natal.He said he did not get enough

money from the government.For example a bus accident

had claimed the lives of 35 peo-ple in Willowvale, but they didnot get even a cent to assist fam-ily members.“Even when I am invited by

kings in other provinces it issometimes hard for me to go,because the Department of Lo-cal Government and Tradition-al Affairs in the Eastern Cape

always says there is no moneyto book a flight and accommo-dation for me.”He said if the traditional lead-

ers were allowed to work withthe government there wouldhave been a lot of changes bynow, but that according to him,unfortunately the traditionalleaders were just chased outanytime the government feltlike it.Sigcau said if the government

did not want to workwith them,it must leave them and theywould see what they could do.Mbethe said the meeting was

very important, because therewould now be better communi-cation between the governmentand the traditional leaders.“Even though I cannot lie and

say we will manage to solveyour issues immediately, wewill make sure that you get bet-ter feedback from the govern-ment.“We have to understand that

sometimes we send people tostand for us in the ANC, but notall of them do what we expectthem to do and others are cor-rupt.“We will not sit back and

watch those corrupt people doas they want,” Mbethe said.She told the traditional lead-

ers that it was important forthem to try to solve any prob-lems they might face, before go-ing to a national level.

ALVENÉ APPOLLIS

DURING apartheid, playing jazz on his sax-ophone was his escape. Today it is his wayof shaping youth in the community.

Reverend Patrick Pasha (82), of KwaDwe-si, was recently awarded the arts and cul-ture award at the EverydayHeroes award ceremony inJohannesburg for his self-less contribution in PortElizabeth’s townships.He spent the last forty

years teaching aspiringmu-sicians the art of playingsaxophone – often from hisMnceba Street home, whileat other times, at the RedLocation Museum in NewBrighton.“It all started when the

staff at the museum asked afew veteran musicians toassist with developmentprogrammes at the centre,”Pasha said.“In the endmost of the les-

sons were done from our homes. Our kidsin the township schools are denied musicas a subject, which I believe is a great loss.Music is the perfect tool to teach concentra-tion and develop memory. I think educa-tion in the townships would be better if wehad music all around.”Pasha, well tuned on the alto and tenor

saxophone, started out on the instrumentlistening to jazz records and learning byear. He has played alongside prolific com-poser and pianist Pat Matshikiza as well asSophiatown singer and dancer ThandiKlaassen.“We played our music in so called white

clubs during apartheid,” he remembered.“We had a curfew of 9pmto be off the streets. Whilewe were on stage, we hadfriends guarding thedoors and watching whenthe cops were heading ourway.The moment the police

stepped in, we droppedour instruments, put onaprons and pretended tobe waiters. Those weresome interesting times,”he laughed.“Sometimes wewere ap-

prehended, but got off thehook when we playedsome Afrikaans tunes forthe cops to enjoy.”Being a spiritual leader,

heading the Youth for Christ ministry, hebelieves that music is just one way of teach-ing the gospel.“Music engulfs the body, soul and spirit,

as does Christ. It is one way of bringingyoungsters to the Lord. I see this as the re-ward for the work I do. It inspires me andencourages me to do more.”

GAUTENG-based Port Elizabeth gospelmusic producer, SizweZako, hasunearthednew talent from the dungeons of Libode inNyandeni in the Transkei.

This musical treasure with the hoarsevoice, is Ozayo Ndamase (26). His album“Ndicele Ntonye,” shows Zako’s a goldentouch, similarly brought by great stars likeRebecca Malope and Vuyo Mokoena.It is through Sizwe Zako Production that

we were blessed by Eastern Cape groupslike Bantu Church of Christ, the Lord’sComforters and Youth with Mission fromwhere artists such as Veliswa Skeyi, Mali-bongweGcwabeandKhanyisa – tomentionbut few – had been able to cut their teeth.Through Ozayo – who was born with de-

formed feet, is blind and could not speakproperly for a long time – Zako has discov-

ered a true worshipper with great talent.Meeting Ozayowas by sheer chance, remi-

nisced Zako. He said he was assisting withthe Battle of the Municipalities TalentSearch inMthatha,where as theywere pack-ing up to leave, Ozayo came and pleaded thatthey gave him a chance.“He blew us away. I realised that this was

real talent. Ozayo toldme that for him it wasnot about the competition. He asked me torecord him, because there was this thingboiling inside him which wanted to get out.And the rest, as they say, is history,” saidZako proudly.Zako used “the best engineers” to work on

Ozayo’s sound and he is happywith the finalproduct – great praise and worship songssung with sincerity by someone who did notjust sing, according to Zako, but who also isa believer who trusts in God.“I have never been to school. I was born

withadisability. I suffered from fits andboth

my parents (Magadi and Sicelo Ndamase)died while I was still young,” said Ozayo, theeighth of nine children. He said he startedsinging from an early age.He said he joined the Assembles of God

Church and sang from hearing other peoplesing. People paid him R20 to buy bread.“I want to thank God for tat’ uSizwe Zako.

The Lord bless him,” he said.He added that he wanted to thank Bishop

Tsepho Machea too, for giving him his firstbreak at cutting a CD.He sold the music himself until he heard of

the talent searchcompetitionwhichgave himthe break to sell his music in all music storesin the country.

TOTAL Solutions is staging the in-ternationally acclaimed one-manplay, Rivonia Trial, featuringMonde Wani, at the Port ElizabethCity Hall today and tomorrow.

The production tells the story offormer President Nelson Man-dela’s famous trial, where hemadea fundamental speech that re-vealed his martyrdom againstApartheid in a fight for freedom,peace, social justice and equality.This well-written piece has had

good reviews in the US, Germany,Scotland, Sweden and England.Proud playwright, Wani, said

Mandela had once seen the pro-

duction as part of his birthday cel-ebrations and had been impressed.Other trialists who have

watched the production includeAhmed Kathrada, Dennis Gold-berg and Andrew Mlangeni.Wani boasts having had one-on-

one discussions with Mandela’slawyer, George Bizos, who sharedvaluable information on the intri-cacies of the widely publicisedcase which shook South Africaand the international community.Asked what had inspired this

beautiful story that depicts a bet-ter part of South African history,Wani said, “I read Mandela’s biog-raphy Long Walk To Freedom andI was inspired. It was a good storyto tell.”

Wani was amazed by the lovethe Rivonia trialists showed forpeople they did not even know.The selflessness they showed inensuring that South Africa wasfree was in itself touching, accord-ing to the Port Elizabeth-bornplaywright.Wani urged people from Nelson

Mandela Bay and surrounding ar-eas to come and watch the produc-tion.“We cannot celebrate the free-

dom we enjoy in this country to-day without celebrating the Rivo-nia trial. Present generationsmust know this history.”The performance starts at 7pm

on both nights. Tickets cost R100per person.

ZWIDE Football Association (ZWIFA) doublechampions,MajorChiefs, collected silverwarewhen they beat Sophakama 2-0 in the ZWIFAMayoral Cup finals at the Zwide Stadium onSunday.

Playing without their suspended skipperZuko Mafayi, Chiefs stood their ground. So-phakama gave Chiefs a headache as they keptknocking on their door.The first half ended with neither side regis-

tering a goal. Chiefs were fired up in the sec-ond half, keeping Sophakama goal stopper, Si-

yahluma Maswana, busy.Chiefs registered their first goal when

LwandoMfino scored a beautiful goal after herounded two Sophakama defenders to put histeam 1-0 ahead.Chiefs could have doubled the lead, as their

substituteAphiweWilliams failed tobeatgoal-keeper Maswana, who pulled a brilliant closerange save. Mfino delivered a nifty pass toWilliams who banged in a last goal for Chiefs,leading them to a well-deserved 2-0 win.Despite losing 2-0, Maswana was named the

man of the match, because he denied Chiefsmany scoring opportunities in one-on-one sit-uations.
