They were accompanied byrepresentatives from the depart-ment of human settlements,KwaDukuzaMunicipalityhousingofficials, councillors, the develop-er and partners in the project.
The Sheiks were the first of 24families to receive homes as partof the Rocky Park Integrated De-

Theunits,whichvary fromoneto threebedrooms,consistofa ful-ly-fitted kitchen, built-in cup-boards and tiled floors.
The environmentally-friendlydevelopment, which is situatedbetween Glenhills and Newtown,will eventually boast 776 unitswhichcomprise lowincome,com-munity rental and affordableunits.
Anumberof theseunitsarestillbeing constructed.
The project is piloted by theKwaZulu-Nataldepartmentofhu-mansettlementsandispartofgov-ernment’s undertaking to providelow income citizens with decenthomes.
Speaking to the Weekly, Oudh-ramsaid:“Wearesoexcitedaboutthisproject as itwill providehous-es to somany families inoneof thefirst integratedhousingprojectsinthe iLembe District.
“Home ownership is one of themost significant economicachievements for an individualand this development ismaking ita reality for many,” he said.
An excited AdamSheik said hewill now have an easier life in hisnew home.
“It is comfortable and I will nothave to worry about storm dam-age and demanding landlords. Iam so happy to have this home.Thank you to all who have helpedus get here.”
Mthembu said KwaDukuza ismoving forward after welcomingthe first 24 beneficiaries in gov-ernment’s improved housingrental stock, the integrated resi-dential development units.
‘Weareindeedmovingforward
with speed, looking at the pace ofhousing delivery in our area. Wehave expressed time and again,our approach in developing de-cent human settlements.
“Locally, this clearly indicatesthecommitmentswemadefollow-ing our 2012 Human SettlementsSummitwhich again serves to un-derline our approach to prioritiesthat have beenmapped out by na-tional government,” said themayor.
Last year, the departmentlaunchedits15-yearhousingrent-al strategy in the interest of map-ping out reasonable rental meth-ods to cater for people fromdiffer-ent walks of life.
Earlier this month Mthembujoined thepeople in therural com-munity of Thembeni, to deliver1980 RDP homes.
He re-assured that the deliverywill continue in leaps and boundswith plans afoot for sustainablesettlements.

The incident occurred in February this year.Mokoena was sitting in a police vehicle be
hind the two and allegedly shot them in theback of the head.
A fourth policeman had been asleep at thetime and when he woke up he was allegedlytold by Mokoena that ‘attackers’ had emergedfrom the surrounding bushes.

The case will thereafter be transferred tothe Durban High Court.

KNOW your human rights - this wasthe message at iLembe District Mu-nicipality Special Projects Unit’sworkshop held recently.
The workshop targeted specialprojects co-ordinators dealing withwomen, children, disabilities, seniorcitizens and Operation SukumaSakhe (OSS) from the iLembe localmunicipalities, NGOs and otherspheres of government.
This workshop was a follow up toa provincial meeting for the specialprojectsofficialsheldinPietermaritz-burg last month where a resolutionwastakenforall specialprojects focalpersons be trained on their roles andspecialprogrammesimplementationstrategy.
Human rights manager from theOffice of the Premier’s HumanRightsChiefDirectorateBhekiMkhizehigh-lighted the importance of under-standingone’srightsandresponsibil-
ities. “It is disappointing to see thatpeople only remember their rightswhen they are in trouble,” he said.
Mkhize said theonlywayhumani-ty could be brought back is if we allstartbylookingatapersonnexttoyouas a human being.
He explained the importance ofupholding fundamental rights andwhat these rights should mean to in-dividuals.
“Helping an old lady get her pen-sion or a child get their certificate isnot about money or a document. It isabout giving that person their dignityback andmaking them feel how niceit is to live in a democratic state like
ours,” he said.According to Lindiwe Zondo, the
deputy manager of senior citizens inthe Office of the Premier’s HumanRights Chief Directorate, the biggestchallenge is the shortage of old agehomes.
“There is definitely a need for onein KwaDukuza and that is currentlybeing discussed at provincial level inthe legislatureandareportwill be re-leased soon,” she said.
Zondo said another biggest prob-lem for the province is that older citi-zensdon’twant to leave their villagesor homes.
South African Social Security Au-
thority manager in the iLembe Dis-trict Municipality V Bulunga gave arun-down on the functionality of Su-kuma Sakhe in the region indicatingits successes and challenges since itsinception.

AS a member of the ANC Tugelabranch, I visited Indian and Colouredfamilies to canvass their votes for theANC.
Their response was, why shouldwe vote for the ANC whilst they areproposing the new equity bill which isdiscriminating.
Nelson Mandela made it clear thatColoureds and Indians were ‘black’and should benefit from affirmativeaction.
Today Labour Minister Mildred Oilfant proposes a bill to further undermining these communities.
They understand transformationis not taking place at a fast enoughpace but you cannot penalise peoplewho come from a disadvantagedbackground for the second time. Thisis tantamount to reverse discrimination.
The Coloured and Indian communities suffered under apartheid andthey fought in the struggle for freedom, side by side with their African
counterparts.These communities are unhappy
with the criteria used to determinetheir percentage of demographics onequity which is on a national base,they feel it should be determined ona regional basis.
The new proposed equity billneeds to be set aside. Minister Olifantlacks the foresight to introduce sucha bill at a time when the national elections are taking place on 7 May.
Indians and Coloureds had a rawdeal under apartheid, they expectbetter now.
President Jacob Zuma needs totakecognisanceofthefeelingofthesecommunities and win back their support otherwise the opposition is goingto have a field day capitalising on theirgrievances.
Let’s share the cake of equity fairlyon the basis which could benefit us all.
Let’s act and engage now, the ANCmust respond.

SOMETIMESwhenyou'rewalkingonthebeachandyounotice acou-ple carrying a garbage bag be-
cause they are picking up litter, you seethe goodness in other people, and youfeel positive about life.
When I see someone complimentanother person for no obvious reason,then it's easy forme to see that humanbeings are generally very helpful andconsiderate - whetherwealwaysshowit or not.
WhenIreadaboutlawyerstakingonpro bono cases, or doctors anddentistsperforming surgery for people whoneed it but can't afford it, orbusinessesdonating their time, money and re-sourcestohelpthosewhoarelessprivi-leged than theyare, then it's easy tobe-lievethatthereishopeforabetterworld- one that we're hopefully working to-wards everyday.
When I see kids sharing, athletesdemonstrating good sportsmanship,studentsactingwithintegrityandchar-
acter, mothers and fathers treatingtheir childrenwithdignityandrespect,successful people sharing credit withothers who contributed to their suc-cess, "famous"people showinghumili-ty, researchers devoting their time andenergy to developing products andmedicines that will serve humankind -the list could be endless - I realise thatthere are far more people working tocontribute to thegoodness in theworldthan thereare trying toharmtheworldand the people in it.
In theory, of course, I don't need towitness any of these things to know in
or insecurities.I'm very grateful when othersmake
it easy for me to see the goodness, forthoseare the timeswhenI feelmostop-timistic aboutmy life and theworld inwhich I live in. Their example makesme want to emulate them, and it thenbecomes even easier forme to contrib-ute to life positively.
So, let us continue to set our fearsand insecurities aside today, so thatwecan be able to see the goodness that isbeing contributed to this world, andeventually become 'major' contribu-tors ourselves!
Sometimesit really is that easy!
my heart that human beingsare basically good, caring,and compassionate.
But it seems that manypeopleareafraidtoshowthatside of them, so sometimesit's nice to be reminded thatthis world basically is a verygood, very positive place tolive.
And the people who areherewith uswant to contrib-ute to the positive side of life- evenifallofthemaren'tabletodosobecauseof their fears
