Sadtu threatens to ‘bringeducation to a standstill’>> ‘We have given them ample time to apply their minds and resolve the issues, but to no avail’MERVYN KRISHNA
THE South African DemocraticTeachers Union (Sadtu) hasembarked on rolling mass ac-
tion that will “bring education in theiLembe District to a standstill”, de-manding the resolution of 20 griev-ances.
These include the removal ofdistrict education manager CarolineVelakazi and Maphumulo circuitmanagers EB Gcabashe and T. Ntuli.
At a mass meeting on Monday atSadtu Park, Sadtu regional secretaryMthokozisi Mpunzana said sinceVelakazi assumed her duties, therehas been a decline in proactive rela-
tions with the district she is “sup-posed to manage”.
“Herconductof treatingourunionlikeheradministrationdeskhasbeenstomached tothe extremelimit, we [as]Sadtu are nolonger pre-pared to be ill-treated as if weare still underapartheid.
“Velakazihas never at-tended a single district task team(DTT)meeting, but instead sends thedistrict human resources co-ordina-
tor to chair them on her behalf. Weview such conduct as abdication ofduties. She reverses DTT decisionswhenever there are some which she
does not feelcomfortablewith.
“She faileddismally toconvene a sin-gle districtprincipal’smeeting.“Velakazi
has never putin place an induction programme fornewly appointed and promoted edu-cation workers under her district,
hence we have a litany of educationworkers and Sadtu members in par-ticular, misconducting themselvesand getting investigated, charged,tried and harshly sanctioned by thevery office that she occupies.”
ThesecretarysaidVelakazicollud-ed with circuit managers who are“her friends and cronies” to make“irregular appointments of educa-tors, in particular school principals”.
“Velakazi appointed a Gingindlo-vu circuit manager to co-ordinateKwaDukuza coremanagement crite-ria and used him as her guillotine toopen unfounded investigationsagainst some members, leaders andformer leaders of Sadtu,” saidMpun-
zana.Velakzai was also criticised for
abusingherofficepowersbystoppingthe St. Christopher Primary post-se-lection process for a principal duringthe day of shortlisting.
“She misrepresented the head ofdepartment’s office by telling Sadtuthat she acted upon the instructionfrom the HOD, and that was in viola-tionofHRMCircularno.15/2014pro-cedure manual.
“Velakaziandthedisplacedcircuitmanager, Mr Msane, attended agoverning bodymeeting ofWhebedeSchooland instructed thatmeeting toco-opt two principals into theirinterviewing committee whose taskwas to conduct a principalship post-selection process and such actamount to post-fixing,” the secretarysaid.
The meeting resolved to intensifythe mass action over the next fewdays, and to follow this up with astrike that would “bring education toa standstill” if thedepartment didnotmeet their demands.
“We have given them ample timeto apply their minds and resolve theissues, but to no avail,” she said.
“HER CONDUCT OFTREATING OUR UNION LIKEHER ADMINISTRATION DESKHAS BEEN STOMACHED TO
THE EXTREME LIMIT”

IHAVE always wanted to write satire, sim-ply to provide comic relief for the AverageJoe that doesn’t involve alcohol or fan-
tasies about roundhouse kicking his boss.But I can’t write satire, which is why my
wife had to offer up the introductorysentence.
Not being Devastatingly Witty or Monu-mentallyIntellectualleavesmein theratherunenviable position of having to writesomething serious, abiding by the rules andstructure, and all the while having to watchthat I don’t thump into the often hiddenrocks of libel and false facts.
Breaking rules comes with consequenc-es, and in a newsroom, those consequences
often involve a haggard sub-editor whomoans at you for incorrect grammar andtense usage, as if these things are key to theUN’s Millennium Development Goals.
But then again, as people who have verylittle to lose — invariably the very rich or thevery poor — like saying, rules are meant tobe broken, because it is then that we discov-er something about ourselves and eachother.
The recent turbulence in Parliament isa case in point.
I do not sit in the EFF or Julius Malemafan seats; I find the party and the man tobe fascist in nature and morally lacking inpractice.
Led by Malema, EFF members chanted“pay back the money” during a question-and-answer session with the president afterhe sidestepped yet another Nkandla ques-tion.
The ANC-led government has subse-quently moved to suspend the EFF.
To show that it was in control of Parlia-ment, ANC officials called in the minister ofdefence, who told the packed newsroom:“We are the last line of defence”.
This would be understandable if CapeTown had a reputation as a meeting pointfor terrorists and separatists who walk thestreets with RPGs.
In reality, the ANC overreacted. And it didso to an embarrassing degree.
By suspending the EFF, the governmentwill be creating a martyr.
A simple warning would have driven thepoint home; a penalty on their salarieswould have been better.
The EFF members may have spoken outof turn and disrupted the rules of the house,but they did not threaten or hurt anyonephysically. Pride, however, took a knock.
But the rule breaking was important.Parliament is, in theory, a place of accounta-bility.
Accountability involves answering ques-tions.
It is a place of robust debate, where thefeelings of the people — through their elect-ed representatives — can be heard.
The ANC, for all it has done for this greatnation, could have handled the situationdifferently had it put more weight on wis-dom and less on ego.
A little wisdom needed

In the hearts andminds of us AverageJoes, two thingscount — the facts andthe perceived facts.Perception tends tohold more water.
Zuma may have ledus successfully into oneof the world’s strongesteconomic blocsthrough Brics, but forsomeone who we aretold is a keen strategist,he continues to sullythe national chess-board.
He has chargedhis queen forward,leaving his king ex-posed, when all heneeded to do was playthe angle with hisknight and build awallwith his pawns.
Suspending theEFF may be “check”,but playing the endgame in the game ofkings and queens iswhat counts.
Similarly, the ANC’sattack on the publicprotector and the DAreveals a party that islosing control of publicperception. The bigquestion is why.
A party that enjoyssuch a large majority,which has dominatedthe polls and showsvery little chance of los-ing power any timesoon, is behaving as if ithas a margin so smallthat the reactionaryapproach is best.
The ANC needs bet-ter strategists. Its inter-nal media machine isfailing.
Without rethinkinghow it is being per-ceived, the ANC willneed neither fine intel-lectuals nor satirists torip it to shreds. Its once-ardent followers aredoing that already.

MUSLIMS view gambling as a self-destructive vicethat does colossal harm to society.
It gives false hope to people by portraying an es-cape from poverty and difficulty, to that of affluenceand luxury but it instead plunges them into debt anddeeper poverty.
The social impact of gambling can range fromproductivity loss, bankruptcy, suicide, crime, divorceand rehabilitation costs. It is never confined to thegambler but adversely affects spouses, children andothers.
Pathological gambling is a progressive diseasethat devastates all involved. Studies have found astrong correlation between greater availability ofgambling and pathological gambling, hence ouraversion to the request of an increase in machinesat The Ritz.
The only people that benefit from gambling arethe operators. With gambling, money from the pooris being relocated to the pockets of the rich.
Needless to say, there is a positive correlation be-tween crime and gambling. Gambling addicts resortto criminal activities to finance their habit. Our soci-ety definitely does not need to add fuel to an alreadyroaring fire of crime.
Gambling accounts for a huge slice of householdexpenditure. Problem gambling among the elderlyeats steadily at their retirement savings, money uponwhich they are dependant.
We urge the KwaDukuza Municipality, people ofinfluence and all other concerned citizens to pleasemobilise and oppose this impending disaster.
As Dr James Doughney said a couple of years agoat a gambling conference: "The harm is more unjust,more unconscionable, because government have aduty to protect."
We once again would like to confirm that we theKSSMC strongly oppose the amendment for The Ritzto have a license to increase its number of gamblingmachines.
We also request that all concerned members ofthe public to please send a letter of objection to themunicipal manager on [email protected] and Grand Gaming on [email protected]

Sunbrook stunned overwhelming fa-vourites Grove End to forge ahead 7-2 be-fore the lanky Neil Perumal moved into thefront court to reduce the deficit to threepoints (7-10). Essack troubled the GroveEnd rearguard with his wicked over-arm

produced the magic. Sunbrook hit a stone-wall as Grove End blocked solidly and ham-mered the ball with venom to level thescores as 19-19. Perumal and Preggie Pillaycombined superbly to guide Grove End toa thrilling 25-19 win.
Sunbrook introduced Devan Moon-samy at the start of the second set in thehope of swinging the pendulum in their fa-vour.
The match was evenly poised with thescores locked at 5-5 and yet again at 12-12before Moonsamy scored successive win-ners (much to the delight of the Sunbrookfaithfuls) to give Sunbrook a slender 17-15lead.
Essack enjoyed a bevy of good setsfrom Bageloo and notched up two beau-ties to extend Sunbrook’s lead (21-17). En-joying a 4-point cushion, fans expectedSunbrook to canter to victory, but a goodsolid block from the lanky Kamal Singh fol-lowed by a deft service by the pint-sizedClive Kista which left the Sunbrook rear-guard clutching straws, saw Grove End re-duce the deficit to 2-points (19-21).
