    Strikers not willing to budge on demands

    NOKULUNGA NGOBESE

    >>[email protected]

    INDICATIONS are that the ongoing

    strike action by petrol attendants,

    under theNationalMetalWorkersof

    South Africa (Numsa), might take

    longer than expected to be resolved.

    Thousands of petrol attendants

    embarkedonacountrywidestrike,

    demanding a R30 per hour pay in-

    crease, but employers are offering

    7.5%.

    Numsa spokesperson Castro

    Ngobese said: The strike will con-

    tinue until the employer gives us the

    double digits increase instead of the

    7.5% that is currently on offer. With

    the increase in food, clothing and

    transport, employees cannot keep

    up with the current economic de-

    mands.

    Ngobese said that most of the

    striking employees are breadwin-

    ners.

    The current offer will not make

    anydifferencesincetheystillneedto

    have a transport budget from the

    amount, he said.

    A female petrol attendant who

    spoke to Echo anonymously, said

    that they earnR670 aweekwhich is

    not enough to cater formost of their

    basic needs.

    We only earn R760 if we have

    worked fromMonday to Sunday.Al-

    though I will not earn anything this

    month, I fully support the strike and

    we will continue until our demands

    are met. If they could only increase

    it to R1000 a week. With that small

    amount I have to support five family

    members, pay school fees, buy food,

    pay water, electricity and clothing

    bills and travel to and from Imbali

    everyday, Sometimes you get unfair

    customerswho fill uppetrol and run

    away without paying. That amount

    is deducted from the same peanuts

    that we earn, she said.

    She added that due to economic

    demands, some have returned to

    workandareriskingtheir livesinor-

    der to support their families.

    Ngobese discouraged those un-

    ionmemberswhoareharassingand

    threatening those who are not on

    strike.

    Workerswhoarevictimisedbe-

    cause they are working should re-

    port this so thatwe can investigate,

    he said.

    NOMPENDULO NGUBANE

    >>nompendulo.ngubane@mye

    cho.co.za

    KWAZULUNATAL Health MEC,

    Dr. Sibongiseni Dhlomo, has

    urged newly qualified nurses in

    the province to acquit themselves

    professionally while on duty.

    He said his department has

    been dealingwith a litany of com-

    plaints frommembers of the com-

    munity due to a bad attitude dis-

    played by some staff members at

    hospitals.

    Dhlomo was speaking at the

    graduationceremonyof155nurs-

    es at the Royal Showgrounds last

    Thursday.

    Atotalof173nursesgraduated

    in Newcastle on the same day as

    well.

    All of thenurses are employed

    by the KZN Department of Health

    in different hospitals.

    Dhlomo said that the province

    ofKZNhasbeen found tobedoing

    better when compared to other

    provinces.

    He said, however, that theonly

    exception is the issue of bad staff

    attitude.

    This has seen the province

    grappling with a meander of

    medicolegal cases, bad press

    coverage and a litany of com-

    plaints frommembers of the com-

    munity. My message to you is

    you know your background, and

    you know where you come from.

    Weappreciate thatwhengivenan

    opportunity to uplift yourself ca-

    reerwise, you grabbed it with

    both hands. Now it is the time to

    put into practice what you have

    been learning, he said.

    Dhlomo said the nurses in the

    province have been tasked with

    the termMake Me Look like a

    Hospital.

    This entails making the hospi-

    tals clean and reducing waiting

    times both at outpatient depart-

    ments (OPD) and dispensaries,

    said the MEC.

    Theywill alsomakemedicine

    available, change staff attitude

    and make hospitals safe for both

    staff and patients, said Dhlomo.

    ThabaniMakhathini (31) from

    Imbali unit 18 was among the

    graduates.

    Hesaidhewashonouredbythe

    presence of the MEC at the cere-

    mony.

    Itwas the greatestmoment of

    my life. I have always been pas-

    sionate about nursing as a career.

    I have been enlightened in life as

    a whole and I have gained a lot of

    knowledge. As a person, I have a

    passion to take care of others, he

    said.

    Makhathini is employed as a

    nurseatNorthdalehospitalwhich

    was part of an initiative by the de-

    partment of health.

    MAFIKA DAMANE mNDEBELE AND THEMBINKOSI GUERRILLA ZONDI

    Debunking the popular myth about the revival of the ANCYL (Conclusion)

    T

    HE Role of the ANCYL in the

    Current Phase of the Struggle

    AS a way concluding, the ANC

    53rd Conference observed with

    deep concern [that] the state of the

    Youth League and its increasingly

    antagonistic relationship with its

    motherbody, seeminglydefining it-

    self outside of the political frame-

    work of the ANC.

    It also noted the state of the NEC

    with key acting positions, and the

    emerging tendency in the League at

    different levels torecallandsuspend

    members without due process.

    Thus it resolved that the incom-

    ing NEC (National Executive Com-

    mittee) should urgently intervene to

    address the situation of the ANC

    Youth League.

    The incoming NECmust, among

    other things, take all necessary

    measures to ensure that the League

    plays its proper role and acts within

    the policy and the constitution.

    The revival of the ANCYL is very

    important, since it would mutually

    reinforce the renewal of the ANC it-

    self and would also mobilise the

    scores of young people, most of

    whomwill bevoting for the first time

    in 2014.

    The task teamsmustbeunderno

    illusion that the majority of the pro-

    spective firsttimeyouth voters

    are coconuts, who either reside in

    urban areas or come from wellto

    dofamiliessincethe2011Censusre-

    port cited above debunks the

    myth that central to therevivalof the

    ANCYL there must be an attempt to

    Americanise the ANCYL.

    Thereality is that theANCYLsre-

    vivalprogrammustappealtothesig-

    nificant majority of youth under 35

    years of age who live in households

    thatreceivelowincomes,asalready

    alluded to in the preceding para-

    graphs.

    The ANCYL must continue to

    push radical youth demands, which

    are in anyway those of the society.

    The Youth League must be nothing

    else but the parliament of the young

    people. We must see the society we

    seek tobuildwithinus.Weneeduni-

    ty in action for a better and prosper-

    ing society for all the youth of our

    country; Black, Indian, Coloured

    andWhite.The futureofourcountry

    belongs toall theyouthwho live in it,

    irrespective of their colour.

    This unity will never be built

    throughfracturingordividingyoung

    people on the basis of who they are

    and what their colour is. Youth for-

    mations, especially within the na-

    tional progressive fold, have the re-

    sponsibility of championing the his-

    torical mandate of the ANC and the

    Alliance,thatoftransformingourso-

    ciety into a nonracial, nonsexist

    and democratic society.

    We hold, as the ANCYL, the re-

    sponsibility of ensuring that the

    youngpeopleareliberatedfromeco-

    nomic and political bondage, espe-

    ciallythosewhowerehistoricallyop-

    pressed.

    Lastly, central to the restoration

    of the ANCYL is to give practical

    meaning to the Decade of the Cadre

    by deliberately ensuring that the

    ANC values of selflessness; self-re-

    spect; respect for the elders; revolu-

    tionarydiscipline;constructivecriti-

    cism; self-criticism are popularised

    among the youth.

    Thesevaluesaremoreimportant

    if we are to produce young people

    who are not suffering from the me-

    firsteveryoneelseafter mentali-

    ty. In other words, the revival of the

    ANCYLisnotaboutbeingrelevant to

    a minority of coconuts, but it is

    about moving beyond resuscitating

    Congress resolutions.

    The ANCYLs revival program

    must also be about reminding the

    youththattheirdutyistolearn, learn

    and learn as instructed by Lenin.

    This learning must be coupled with

    ideological clarity in terms of the

    youths role towards achieving

    theNationalDemocraticSoci-

    ety through the National

    Democratic Revolution.

    The entitlement

    mentalitymust also be

    busted asunder and

    be replaced with a

    spirit of being a peo-

    ples servants with

    no interest except to

    recognise that the

    realreasonfortheex-

    istenceoftheANCand

    its leagues is to serve

    Classy houses mushroom in rural areas

    NOMPENDULO NGUBANE

    >>[email protected]

    W

    HEN driving or walking around

    areas such as Snathing, Sweet-

    waters, Mpumuza and Eland-

    skop, the eyes are caught by classy homes

    and onewould swear its a drive or awalk

    around the Montrose or Hilton area.

    Could it be that people are finding the

    ruralareasasplacesofcomfortandpeace,

    compared to the town environment and

    suburban areas?

    Dumezweni Zimu from Snathing and

    Patrick Mbambo from Elandskop gave

    some perspective on the issue.

    Zimus house is just along Snathing

    main road and it is a headturner.

    Some of Zimus personal reasons for

    buildinghis owncastle inSnathingare in-

    vestment, house value, comfort, peace

    and development, as he also looks at

    things with the eye of a businessman.

    At my age, I take so many things into

    perspective when making a decision.

    Buildingahouse isan investmentandthat

    shouldbeaccompaniedbythevalueofthat

    house.

    I would start by saying that building

    ahouse isabetter initiative thanbuying it.

    With the house you have built, you decide

    what to do. You decide what to add, what

    sort of paint or ceiling board youwant. As

    theowner,youare thedecisionmakerand

    therefore you decide on everything, said

    Zimu.

    He said that the value of the houses in

    town are completely different from the

    ones in the rural areas.

    A R1.5millionhousebuiltinSnathing

    comparedto theonebuilt in townarevery

    different. I have a huge site which could

    still accommodate another ten houses,

    said Zimu.

    As a business driven person, he said,

    hewould like to seepeoplenotbeingboth-

    ered by having to take a taxi to town for

    shopping.

    Businessplansarealreadyinthepipe-

    line and thatwouldhelp to create employ-

    ment opportunities. I believe that we

    should develop our own areas now, in-

    stead of shopping in town, he said.

    For Mbambo, his roots are in Eland-

    skopanditswherehewouldliketobebur-

    ied.

    I grewup inElandskopand itswhere

    my comfort is. I am free to domy ceremo-

    nies without having anyone complaining

    about the slaughtering of a cow or goat,

    he said.

    One other reason many people are

    flocking back to rural areas to build big

    houses, is thatdevelopmentsnowabound

    in these areas.

    Before 1994, there were no tarred

    roads, no water and no electricity.

    The entity that administers the retirement benefits of municipal employees in KwaZuluNatal

    was recently recognised for excellence. Seen with the awards (from left) are Bongi Mkhize (chief

    financial cfficer), Sam Camilleri (CEO/ principal officer) and Dominic Ilett (chief operating officer).

    The Checkout Supermarket

    Group has expanded its wings in

    KwaZulu-Natals City of Choice

    with the opening of its latest

    branch in the business hub of

    Pietermaritzburg. Nestled in the

    lively and bustling Pietermaritz

    Street, the latest Checkout outlet

    aims to expand its brand in the

    midlands driven by its motto

    Quality, Service, Savings.

    The Checkout brand is nationally

    renowned for its quality products

    offered at affordable pricing for

    all income earners. Checkout is

    the largest independent super-

    market chain in South Africa and

    has been in the supermarket

    industry for the past 37 years.

    The Group has entrenched its

    footprint to seven of the nine

    provinces with more than 50

    stores nationally offering superior

    pricing to all its customers. Its

    recipe for success has always

    been superior service levels

    with a customer centred ethos.

    Checkout is fully conversant with

    the diverse PMB market as it has

    a proud trading history in the city

    centre for more than three

    decades. The decision to

    resurface in the City of Choice

    was to keep the Checkout brand

    available to the middle and low-

    income earners to receive the

    best in chain store pricing at an

    easily accessible location. The

    new outlet is more spacious

    with a customer friendly

    ambiance offering a pleasant

    shopping experience. Together

    with basic food and essential

    grocery lines the store has a

    Butchery, Fruit, Veg, Bakery

    and a Deli Department giving

    our customers real all round

    value.

    Customers can expect a

    bumper opening promotion with

    something for everyone.
