Nomsa Mathangana from Ronwenirural village lost 20 cattle on Tuesday.“I don’t knowwhat I amgoing to dobe-cause I have searched for them, but invain,” said Mathangana.

ShetoldtheFeverthatifgovernmentauthorities fail to stop stock theft, theborder area between Lesotho andMatatielewill turn into a battlefield be-cause they are sick and tied of losingtheir livestock every day.

Police spokesperson LieutenantRaphael Motloung admitted that al-mosteveryweekstocktheft isreported.Motloung said cases are being openedat the Sondering, Avondale Police Sta-tion almost daily, with more than 10cases being reported.

Theborderareaswhicharemostaf-fected are Ongeluks Nek and Qacha’sNek.

He said the army is doing its job butthey cannot be everywhere on the bor-der. He believes that stock theft is notonly being committed by peoplefrom Lesotho, they also includeSouth Africans who are part of asyndicate.

The mountain areas borderingSouth Africa and Lesotho are some ofthe poorest areas and the majority ofcommunities relyonsubsistence farm-ing.

UNAPOLOGETICabout name change>> ‘As the ANC we are not apologetic about the name change and know there are people resisting change even when it is good’

KHAYA MAGENU>>[email protected]

THEHarryGwala Regional ANCchairperson and the HarryGwalaDistrictMunicipality ex-

ecutive mayor, Mluleki Ndobe saidthey are unapologetic about the initi-atives to change the Sisonke DistrictMunicipalityname to theHarryGwa-la District Municipality, and the mu-nicipality logo.

He told the Fever this after one ofthe Griqua leaders, Cyril GeorgeGangerdine andDemocraticAllianceProvincial Deputy Leader FrancoisRodgers condemned the renamingsaying that it is a waste of money.

“As the ANCwe are not apologeticabout thenamechangeandweknowthere are people resisting changeeven when it is good, but they are al-ways sceptical because they want toscore politically as we approach the2014 general elections,” said Ndobe.

RespondingtoGangerdine’sstate-ment that they should name the dis-trict municipality the Captain AdamKok 111 Municipality, Ndobe said inthe district there are so many tribesand they are treating them equally.

“We are treating all people resid-ing in our district equally whether

they are Zulu, Xhosa, Bhaca, Ntlang-wini, coloured or white people,” saidNdobe.

He said before the name changetook place they consulted all stake-holders representingcommunities inlocal municipalities including tradi-

a lot of noise.“Evennowweare charging one of

the DA councillors for not attendingmeetings, but at the same time thesame councillor is making a lot ofnoise in themedia, but fails to attendcouncil meetings,” said Ndobe.

The mayor said they also lookedthe issue of the logo to seewhether isstill relevant for use with the newname, but said they had not taken adecision to change the logo.He said adecision will be taken at the nextcouncil meeting.

He encouraged Harry Gwala Dis-trict Municipality communities to ac-cept change where there is a need asthey want to preserve the heritageand history of the nation. He also ad-vised them to submit comment to thedistrict if they wish to raise issues.

THE ANC Youth League (ANCYL), under theKokstad Sub-Region, welcomes the namechange of the Sisonke District Municipality tothe Harry Gwala District Municipality.

“We are glad that the Democratic Alliance(DA) acknowledges that Harry Gwala was astrugglehero,andthathespentallhislifestrug-gling to uplift the lives the poor and the disad-vantaged. It is on this background thatwewel-come the name change aswe believe it will in-spire confidence in the community knowingthat the district municipality has taken up therole of uplifting the poor and the disadvan-taged.

“We however caution Francois Rodgers tostop being selective in response and refrainfrom being sensational when reporting issuesof service delivery. The statement of ‘94% ofsome of the communitieswithout runningwa-ter and sanitation’ is far from the truth, and infact, it isquite theopposite in thisdistrict,asta-tisticweunfortunatelycannotsayabout theDA

leadcityofCapeTownwhichhasdecoratedthebucket system with ‘portable toilets’. We alsofeel it is highlyopportunistic thatCyrilGanger-dine can suggest that ‘AdamKok’ be the nameof choice for the district, because we under-stand that Kokstad is not the district, but partof the district. Adam Kok is also either un-known and/or does not inspire confidence tothe majority of the districts population. Gang-erdine might be correct in saying that ‘historytells him that Kokstad is the urban town of theGriquas’, buthistorydoesnotbegin there.His-tory also tells us that AdamKok and his troopsfought Faku and his clan out of this land thatis nowcalledEastGriqualand, thusbaring evi-dence to theargument thatAdamKokdoesnotinspire confidence to the majority of the dis-tricts community. We once again welcome thename change to that of stalwart Harry Gwalaand view it as a progressive move towardsbuilding social cohesion in the district.”

9Hospital helps amputee, donates wheelchairNTUNTU DWEBA>>[email protected]

AMATATIELE man who had been suf-fering for years has finally got a newlease on life.

Ntembiso Kotalana (51) lives in KwaLunda and his life has taken turn for thebetter after he was given a wheelchair bythe Tayler Bequest Hospital in Matatiele.

Kotalana’s health problems beganwhenhestartingexperiencingexcruciatingpain in his left leg. He then developed anulcer in the leg, which had to be amputatedat the Tayler Bequest Hospital.

He later had a mild stroke, affecting theright side of his body and was unable togo about without help. The situation at

home got worse when his wife died, nowKotalana lives with his two children aged19 and 20. According to the AIC, the opposi-tion party in the Matatiele, Kotana, havetriedtogetacouncillortohelpwithhissitu-ation, but were unsuccessful.

“The children had to take care of him,”said Aubrey Mhlongo AIC spokesperson.

“Then things started happening for MrKotalana when we, as the AIC, intervenedthrough our Umntu ngabantu campaign,”Mhlongo said. Mhlongo said they ap-

proached the hospital’s physiotherapy de-partment and asked if it would donate anartificial leg for Kotalana.

He was examined by a physiotherapist,but it was discovered that he would not beable to use an artificial leg because of thestroke. Instead, the hospital donated awheelchair to him.

“Mhlongo helped me a lot because heis the one who got me this wheelchair andthings are easier now, although I wish foran automated wheelchair because I canonly use my left hand to move it and it getstired quickly, but I am very grateful,”Kotalana said.

Dear Doctor Nash, My husband has an obsessionwith cleanliness at home. The maid does the cleaningand they do not last long. Currently I am doing thecleaning, and the children have to clean their rooms.My husband has to clean himself before he eats. Theprinciple is good and I am all for it, but he carries itto the extreme and this leads to criticism and argu-ments. He lives his life on principles. A thing is eitherright or it is wrong and there can be no compromise,and he is the sole judge. We must all acknowledgehisprinciples and that he is right, and heaven help theone who questions him. All this has led me to tell lies,that something has been cleaned when it has not,a white lie, but still a lie, and this worries me. It is hisobsessionality and the temper that goes with it thatscares me. How can I get him to understand that hisprinciples are good, but the way he lays down the lawand criticises drives us all away, Suggestions pleasegood doctor. Mrs. G

Dear Mrs. G, First of all thank you for the compli-ment that I can give you a solution to your situationin a few words. Following you, your husband is obses-sional, which also points to him being a perfectionist.You cannot reason with such a person. They believethat they are not wrong, and when you try to reasonwith them they get very upset and it generally endsup in an argument, because if they cannot be wrongthat leaves only you. Marriage therapy involving howto listen to your partner and what I call the “rules ofengagement”, can often help. Otherwise it is only ma-turity that can bring wisdom. Concerning your “whitelies” — frankly they sound like a desperate attemptto keep out of trouble, and they are because husbandis being demanding and perfectionistic. Go easy onyourself. You can just tell him that whatever has notbeen done hasnot been doneand that is that. Changethe subject and carry on, but wear your bullet proofvest. Good luck.

Dear Doctor Nash, My husband has a drinking prob-lem and when the pressure from business or familyhappen he drinks and often then beats me. This hap-pens about three times a year. He has had affairs witha girl at work, with a neighbor and another woman.

Then he gave up alcohol and was better but verymoody. But now for the past three months he getsup in the morning with a glass of gin, not a cup oftea, and I am scared the whole routine of arguments,fights and beatings will begin again. We have beenmarried for 19 years and I am tired. We have two chil-dren and they have seen the beatings and the blood.I am nearly 50 years old. I do not want to start again.What do I do? “Desperate”.

Dear Desperate, 10 years is a long time, but it

is not a lifetime although it may feel like it at times.What your children have seen will affect them for therest of their lives. That is a fact.

For their sake you need to change the situation.Either you and your husband get together and recon-cile and show the children how adults can negotiateand change, or you must show them what an adultdoes in a situation that you describe.

The second choice is that you kick the drinking bul-ly out on to the street. Get rid of him. He is a bad influ-ence and a worse model of how a father and husbandtreatshiswifeandchildren.Nomercy.Ifyouneedmor-al and mental support phone me for an appointment.I will also see him if he is prepared to try. Strengthto your arm.
