Is it reallyworth changing anamewhen thatname is internationally known for variousaspects, one of them being home to the largestcar factory on the African continent?
Is it worth spending millions of Rands onchanging a name when “insufficient funds”are so often named as the reason or excusefor lack of maintenance on basic services?These are but two of the hundreds of com-
ments, outbursts and reactions from the pub-lic on social platforms after the Eastern Capegovernment announced that it is considering
changingUitenhage’s name to “Qhagqiwa” or“Garden Town”.Comments like: “if the nameUitenhage can’t
even be spelled correctly on nameboards, imag-ine the new name”, “We will be totally lost, notknowing where the heck it is. Poor tourists ...not a good idea”, “Is a name change really nec-essary? This is a political stunt to gain votes”,“Absurd. There are far more important thingsto spend taxmoney on”, “Whatwill be the bene-fits of it? Surely themoney could bemuch betterspent on service delivery?”There were, however, a few people who felt
positive aboutUitenhagebeingnamed“Qhag-qiwa”.
The Eastern Cape Geographical NamesCommittee also announced that public par-ticipation hearings would be held after tothe local government elections on August 3.The other name changes include Port
Elizabeth (to be changed to Gqeberha) andthe Port Elizabeth airport (to be namedSipho Hashe Airport).Zukile Jodwana, a member of the Eastern
Cape geographical names committee said“This is a lengthy process and can take upto six months.“We have received the applications, but
now we have to hold public meetings in thecommunities where residents can voice
their opinions and air their grievances.“Then we must make a recommendation to
the national geographical names committee,which in turn must submit its recommenda-tions to the Minister of Sport, Recreation,Arts and Culture.”There are various notable persons linked to
Uitenhage. Saying that Enoch Sontonga, Al-lan Hendrickse, Smuts Ngonyama, SeanBurke, Ton Vosloo, Linky Boshoff, GarthWright, Deshun Deysel and Loyiso Bala hailfrom Qhagqiwa, simply lacks any signifi-cance.
)Uitenhage was founded on 25 April 1804and named in honour of General Jacob Abra-ham Uitenhage De Mist.
Uitenhage’s name changed to “Qhagqiwa” or “Garden Town”?

Die kanon van Kanonheuwel, een van Uit-enhage se bekendste bakens die afgelope
200 jaar, het spoorloos verdwyn.
Al wat nou wys dat daar eens ’n kanon ge-staan het, is die kaal voetstuk.
“Dit moes baie swaar gewees het om diékanon weg te dra, maar as iemand genoeg geldwil maak uit die skrootmetaal, sou hulle seker’n plan kon maak,” sê Dave McCleland, inwo-ner van Uitenhage.
Die kanon, wat oorspronklik deur landdrosJacob Glen Cuyler, na Uitenhage gebring is,was een van nagenoeg 90 kanonne op die Am-sterdam, ’n Nederlandse troepedraer wat in1817 naby die Swartkopsriviermonding ge-strand het.
Dié spesifieke kanon is eers in Caledon-straat staangemaak en later in 1911 na Kanon-heuwel verskuif. In 1923 het die kanon sy laas-te skote gevuur toe die hertog van Connaughtbesoek kom aflê het.
In die jare daarna het die kanon self “onderskoot” gekom deur vandale, graffiti-kunste-naars en diewe wat die hekke na die kanonal in 2014 gesteel het.
Hoewel McCleland nie ’n klag by die polisieingedien het nie, het hy wel die diefstal by Pie-ter Terblanche, DA-raadslid, aangemeld.
“Die groot probleem is dat daar nie genoegsekuriteit by die metro se eiendomme, inslui-tend Kanonheuwel, is nie,” sê Terblanche.“Wat my pla, is dat daar iemand moet weeswat dié gesteelde items moet koop.
in 1953 aangebring is het ook spoorloos ver-dwyn in 2014.
“Ek kan nie verstaan dat indien sulke itemsvan historiese waarde by skrootysterplekkeopeindig, dit nie aangemeld word nie.
Dit is tog duidelik dit is nie jou gewone weg-gooi ysters nie,” het Terblanche gesê.
)Teen die UD Nuus se druktyd het ’nmunisipale woordvoerder bevestig datdie diewe vasgetrek is en die kanonloopin veilige bewaring is. Leesmeer hieroorin volgende week se UD Nuus.Die publiek word bedank vir hulle op-
lettendheid in dié saak.

“Dit kwel my ookdat daar geen toesigoor die werkers bydie metro-eiendom-me is nie.
“As hulle teen-woordig was tydensdie diefstal, sou hul-le dit mos sien ge-beur het.”
Die metro het bynavraag gesê hy isonbewus van diediefstal.
“Die metro se se-kuriteitshoof het ge-sê geen diefstal is byhom aangemeldnie,” sê Johann Met-tler, stadsbestuur-der.
Ironies dat diéheuwel wat eens ’nuitkykpunt was ominwoners te beveilignou self onveilig is.

Die belastingseisoen kan vir enigeen ’n kop-seer wees, maar vir dié wat in ’n stryd metdie Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens (SAID)gewikkel is, is daar ’n “laaste uitweg”.
So sê adv. Eric Mkhawane, uitvoerendehoof van die nasionale belastingombudskan-toor.Dié kantoor, wat verbind is aan die openba-
re beskermer (OB), is in 2013 gevestig om asbemiddelaar op te tree en geskille tussen dieSAID en belastingbetalers op te los.“As iemand se griewe met die SAID nie op-
gelos kan word nie, tree ons in as die laasteuitweg,” sêMkhawane. “Dit is ons plig omdiebelastingbetaler se regte te beskerm en te ver-seker dat die SAID sy pligte nakom.”Die ombudskantoor is wel nie betrokke by
hofsake nie, sê Mkhawane. “Dit is buite ons
mandaat om by te staan as die belastingbeta-ler nie saamstem met die SAID se evalueringnie. Ons help wel met vertragings aan dieSAID se kant of ander administratiewe pro-bleme. Die SAID is ’n goeie organisasie, maardit het steeds ’n menslike element en fouteglip wel in. Dit is waar ons ondersoek instelen raad aan die belastingbetaler bied.”Selfs net dié probleme hou hulle bedrywig.
“In die eerste sesmaande van ons bestaan hetons slegs 156 klagtes ontvang. In die laasteboekjaar het dié getal totmeer as 2 000 klagtesgestyg.”Hoewel die kantoor in dié stadium slegs uit
Pretoria werk, kan klagtes van oor die landheen by hulle ingedien word. “Van klaersword verwag om eers die probleem by dieSAID aan te meld, maar as húlle dit nie kanoplosnie, kanhulle onsnader. Innoodgevalle,soos klein ondernemings wat op hul belas-tingterugbetaling staatmaak om hul deure
oop te hou, kan hulle direk na ons kom.”) Enigeen wat hulp benodig oor ’n geskil
met die SAID kan die ombudskantoor bel by0800 662 837 (tolvry) of www.taxombud.gov.zabesoek.

Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’sSTEM(Science,Technology,EngineeringandMaths) in Action programme, which runs inmore than 40 schools throughoutNelsonMan-dela Bay, has extended its existing pro-gramme, with special holiday schools inPhysical Science for Northern Areaslearners.
STEM in Action provided extra practicalscience sessions for Grade 10 to 12 learnersfromNorthernAreas schools at thebeginningof the year to help learners make up for losttime. These schools were closed for almost amonth, sparked by last year’s poor provincialand citywide matric results, and alleged mis-management by the provincial Department ofEducation.
The programme organised an Autumn
School in Physical Science during the Aprilschool holiday and is now running a WinterSchool in mid-year break.“The programme assisted them with the
consolidation of the first-term syllabus con-tent,” says STEM in Action ProgrammeMan-ager Isabel van Gend.“This same group of learners are attending
a Winter School which will consolidate sec-ond-term content and introduce third-termconcepts. Theywill also be schooled in exami-nation guidelines for writing Physical Sci-ence papers.”The programme exposes learners to hands-
on experiments and simulations often notdone at schools owing to a lack of resources.STEM in Action started seven years ago
with 300 learners and now accommodates2600 learners.

JumarthaMajola (84) vanNewBrighton se oëvonkel ondeund as Ray Weiss (76) vertel vandie 11 skeepsvraghouers wat hy vir ’n ophef-fingsprojek by Jo Slovo-Kabah in Uitenhagegebruik.
“Hy kanmaar aan ons een gee,” bromMajo-la, stigter van die Hoza Golden Age-klub, on-derlangs op ’n mediakonferensie Maandag-oggend.
“Jy sal jou wat verbeel. Ek kom laai joutwee vraghouers virmy op,” tergWeiss terug.Die luim is gemoedelik tussen Weiss, Majolaen ander voormalige wenners van die SeniorBurger vandie Jaar (Scoty)-toekennings.Hul-le is almal byeen in die GFI-kunsgalery inSentraal, Port Elizabeth, om voorbrand temaak vir vanjaar se kompetisie.
Celeste van der Walt, ook ’n voormaligewenner, is op die reëlingskomitee vir vanjaarse kompetisie.
“Mense leef al hoe langer ná aftrede en hoelanger ’n mens aktief bly, hoe minder van ’nmaatskaplik-ekonomiese las is jy. Dié toeken-nings gee erkenning aan mense wat hul ken-nis terugploeg en waarde toevoeg tot die ge-meenskap.”
Marietjie van der Walt van Uitenhage was
in 2015 die algehele wenner. Haar betrokken-heid by die gemeenskap het in Addo begin toesy opgemerk het hoe sitrusplukkers se kin-ders ronddwaal. As opgeleide onderwysereswas die oplossing voor die hand liggend – ’nkleuterskool vir al die kleintjies. Marietjie seywer om ’n verskil te maak het ook haar om-gewing en veral die besoedelde Swartkopsri-vier ingesluit. Daaruit is skoonmaakaksiessaam met die VLV en DA gebore.Die toekenning was vir haar ’n aansporing
omaan te houmet van die projekte en sy hoopdat dit ander pensioentrekkers sal aanspoorom betrokke te raak.“ ’n Mens hoef nie iets te gaan soek om be-
trokke te raak nie; raak betrokke by dit watoor jou pad kom,” is Marietjie se raad.Majola, wat in 2012 ’n wenner was, het ook
’n string ander toekennings vir haar gemeen-skapswerk gewen.Celeste beaam dit en sê dit is juis daarom
dat die Scoty-toekennings so uitsonderlik is.“Die toekenning is ’n aansporing en erken-ning dat dit wat jy doen, betekenisvol is.”
) Benoemings vir die Scoty-toekenningssluit op 15 Augustus en die wenners word op1 Oktober, die internasionale dag vir bejaar-des, bekend gemaak. Inskryfvorms is beskik-baar by Juanita Krauspe: [email protected] of 041 503 4400 of 083 263 3200.

Oor sowat drie weke hou die land ’nplaaslike verkiesing. Munisipaliteiteis dié deel van die regering waarmee
ons as landsburgers die meeste te doen het.
Hulle is belangrik want hulle voorsien onsvan paaie, riool en water.Oor die algemeen voorsien hulle ons van
elektrisiteit en verwyder ons rommel. Ons ge-bruik hul biblioteke, parke en dikwels hul kli-nieke. Hulle verskaf openbare vervoer enmaak strate skoon.In beter tye plant hulle Kersbome en hang
liggies op vir die Kersseisoen.
) Dit kos al hoe meer met nogmeer mense wat verbind word
Al het munisipaliteite en Eskom 4,3 miljoenmeer mense (verbruikerseenhede in ampteli-ke taal) aan die netwerk verbind van 12,2 mil-joen in 2008 tot 16,5 miljoen in 2015, kom hier-die ongelooflike prestasie met ’n duur reke-ning.Munisipale opbrengs het met 199% afge-
neem terwyl bedryfsuitgawes met 152% ge-styg het. In vergelyking het die nominale bru-to binnelandse produk (BBP) met net 29% indaardie tyd gestyg.Die bedryfsuitgawes van plaaslike rege-
rings het van 4,7% van die BBP tot 9,2% vandie BBP in ’n baie kort sewe jaar gestyg.Ja, die getal huishoudingswat deurmunisi-
paliteite aan die netwerk verbind is, het metbykans 38% gestyg en waterverbindings hetook toegeneem, maar die koste vir dienstedeur grootmaatverskaffers soos Eskom hetook gestyg.Dié finansiële druk op munisipaliteite is
nouoorgedranadie verbruiker en sakeonder-nemings wat nou sukkel om vir die dienstete betaal.
In werklikheid kan meer as R86 miljard asslegte skuld beskou word uit die totale uit-staande bedrag van R107 miljard. Dit is on-danks die meer as R10 miljard wat afgeskryfis elke jaar vir die afgelope vier jaar.Die totale skuld wat deur Suid-Afrikaanse
munisipaliteite afgeskryf word, is waarskyn-lik dieselfde as die steeds uitstaande slegteskuld.Bogenoemde is gelyk aan die volgende ver-
gelyking: as munisipaliteite al die geld wataan hulle verskuldig is insamel, sal daar virdie volgende vier jaar nie tariefverhogingswees nie.Die grootste probleem is egter dat ons ver-
kiesing hier is en niemand – nie ’n enkelegroot politieke party – het gesê dat hulle onsgeld beter gaan gebruik en munisipale kostegaan verlaag nie.Hulle wil natuurlik almal meer dienste le-
wer, maar wil nie die prys verlaag sodat onsdit kan bekostig nie.Die groot styging in tariewe en belasting op
’n plaaslikeregeringsvlak het baie meer drukopSuid-Afrikaners geplaas enhoewel ’nmenskan aanvoer dat meer mense water en ligtehet, het die finansiële druk baie meer gestygas die dienste wat gelewer is.
)Gehalte isdikwelsnieeens indiesyfers ingereken nie
Maar soos ons almal weet, is die probleemnienet hoeveel families vanwater voorsienwordof hoeveel kilometer se paaie verskaf wordnie – dit gaan ook oor die gehalte van diediens.Die gehalte van diensteword nie so goed ge-
meet nie en dit is algemeen bekend dat muni-sipaliteite water verloor. In sommige gevalletot soveel as 40%.Elektrisiteit word gesteel en verbruikers
het slegte skuld omdat hulle nie kan bekostigom vir al hierdie dinge te betaal nie.Busse word gebrand en hulle word nie her-
stel nie, wat passasiers gestrand gelaat.Rioolpype word geblokkeer en dit duur we-
ke voor dit herstel is.Inbelsentrums se telefone word nie geant-
woord nie en daarmee saam is die publiek in’n slegte bui.Selfs sakeondernemings kyk na tariewe en
die volhoubaarheid van plaaslike regeringswant hulle weet hulle gaan óf uitgebuit wordóf diensvlakke gaan daal wanneer dié rege-rings probleme ervaar.Sommige munisipaliteite het nie meer wa-
ter of geld vir krag nie. Dit is omdat die gouegans besig is om op plaaslike vlak dood tegaan.Ek het gehoor hoe sakemense vertel hoe an-
der hul deure saggies toegemaak het, óf na ’nander dorp getrek het óf bloot ’n plan gemaakhet om nie munisipale dienste te gebruik nie.Oor die algemeen is die meeste munisipali-
teite buite die groot metro’s onder erge finan-siële druk enword nogmeer onbruikbaar om-dat hul inwoners nie meer vir dienste betaalnie, infrastruktuur nie herstel word nie endiensteverskaffers nie betaal word nie.’n Mens hoor die spanning in plaaslike sa-
kekamers en ondernemings voel magteloos.Selfs die sakekamers in metro’s kla gereeld
oor die hoë tariewe en baie swak diens. Hulleis gelukkig, want in baie dorpe is die gesegde:“Jy kan nie oor die water kla nie, want daaris niks nie.”Ons gaan ’n groot ingryping op plaaslike
vlak nodig hê om diensvlakke terug te kry enteen billiker pryse. Teen bykans 10% van onsBBP kort dié deel van regering waarmee onsdie meeste te doen kry, ’n dringende herstel.Plaaslike regerings verskaf soveel dienste
en ons het optrede nodig wat die vermoë en
doeltreffendheid van hierdie vlak van die re-gering verhoog.Ek reis baie deur die landwaar ekmet sake-
ondernemings en organisasies praat en ekhoor hul frustrasie en radeloosheid.Die werkloosheid in landelike gebiede kan
baie vererger as die dorpe nie dienste teen bil-like pryse kry nie.
) ’n Paar idees om die situasie tehanteer
Daar moet meer mag aan die ouditeur-gene-raal gegee word om oortreders te vervolg.Daarmoet onmiddellikmeer geld en ’nafde-
ling om dienste en betalings aan plaaslike re-gerings te ondersoek, aan die Verbruikers-raad gegee word.Konstante diensleweringprobleme wat
maklik is om reg te maak, moet aan anderdiensverskaffers gegeeword enbetaling daar-voor moet van die munisipaliteit geëis word.Hierdie uitgawes, indien hulle herhaal
word, moet lei tot billike sanksies teen muni-sipale amptenare.Betaling aan sakeondernemings moet bin-
ne 30 dae gedoen word. Indien dit nie binne60 dae volgens ’n wettige kontrak betaal wordnie, kan ’n hof, soos die hof vir klein eisemaarmet meer mag, oortreders eerstens straf endaarna afdank indien dit herhaaldelik ge-beur.Amptenare en raadslede moet puntekaarte
kry waartoe die publiek minstens elke tweejaar toegang het. Hierdie punte moet uit kwa-liteitsaanwysers saamgestel word.Wanneer die publiek weer stem, gaan hulle
’n goeie idee hê wie om voor te stem gebaseerop diensleweringsaanwysers.

teen die departement verband met skadeaan voertuie weens slaggate, motoronge-lukke, asook sake wat verband hou metvoorsienings- en verkrygingsprosesse enarbeidsverhoudinge.“Meer as R21 miljoen van die R74 miljoen
is aan uitkontraktering van regsdienste endie verdediging van regskwessies bestee.“Net minder as R53 miljoen is bestee aan
skuldigbevindings teen die departement ensowat R9 miljoen is begroot vir moontlikeregseise in die huidige boekjaar,” aldusKnoetze.Volgens haar beloop die totale waarde
van regseise teen die departement sedert31 Mei vanjaar meer as R316 miljoen.“Dit is duidelik dat die belastingbetaler
hierdie enorme geldelike las dra as gevolgvan die nalatigheid en wanbestuur van diedepartement van paaie en openbare werke,wie se mandaat dit is om infrastruktuur inwerking te stel en dit in stand te hou.”Oor die moontlikheid dat laasgenoemde
probleem gedeeltelik aan personeeltekortein die departement van paaie en openbarewerke toegeskryf kan word, is daar in dievooruitsig gestel dat nog aanstellings gaankom.“Voorsiening gaan in die nuwe boekjaar
gemaak word vir nuwe aanstellings in dieafdelingswatmoet toesiendat diekernman-daat van die departement uitgevoer word,”sê Marawu.Volgens Marawu word die eise van
R316 miljoen indie hof betwis en is daar ooksake wat nog nie afgehandel is nie.“Die bedrag sluit in hofsake van vorige
boekjare. Dit beteken nie dat die departe-ment die geld gaan betaal nie. Die hof hetnog nie daaroor beslis nie.”Van die bedrag van R53 miljoen is R7 mil-
joen vir die 2013-’14-, meer as R41 miljoenvir die 2014-’15- en R3,6 miljoen vir die2015-’16-boekjaar.In Junie vanjaar het dit aan die lig gekom
dat ook die provinsie se gesondheidsdepar-tement miljarde aan regskoste betaal.In die 2015-’16-boekjaar het mediese regs-
koste tot R4 miljard – 20% – van die gesond-heidsbegroting van R18 miljard beloop. Diehuidige begroting beloop R20 miljard.
‘Nalatigheid lei tot enorme geldelike las’
“Dit is duidelik dat diebelastingbetaler hierdieenorme geldelike las dra asgevolg van die nalatigheidenwanbestuur van diedepartement van paaie enopenbarewerke,wie semandaat dit is ominfrastruktuur inwerking testel en dit in stand te hou.”- VICKY KNOETZE, DA-LID VAN DIE

AFTER 20 PAINFUL YEARSSISTER RHONA
Brought happiness in my broken familyFor many years I have suffered in my marriage, I had daily fights with my husband and I had no peace becauseof my jealous family, friends and my in-laws who also hated me. I felt betrayed and heartbroken by my own people,sleepless nights and stress nearly killed me. I tried many healers but they all failed to help until I heard about MamaGift on Radio. With the only R200 I had in life, Mama Gift took my fortune readings and surprised me by tellingaccurately about my husband`s hidden family secrets. They then made special prayers and gave me powerful Indianherbal holy water for cleansing and special oil. Within just days a miracle happened , all my enemies and family in-lawswho hated me came back to make peace with me. After suffering 20 painful years, today we are the happiest coupleand I am grateful. Because of Mama Gift`s special prayers of blessings, I have became a successful business woman.

Multiple cycle tour champion Anriëtte Schoe-man is set to defend her title at the JBay WindFarm MTB Classic on July 16.
“I keep on coming back to this race. I abso-lutely love the festive vibe and the fantasticroute layout. The route is one of the most fundays you can have locally,” says Schoeman.
Having been increased to R10 000 for thefirst man and woman to cross the finish line,the prize purse is also a huge draw card.
Schoeman describes the route as “a mix ofsingletrack, gravel roads, some proper climbsand loads of scenery.
“For me the best part of the race is wherewe ride through the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm.Riding literally underneath the spectacular,gigantic wind turbines is something very spe-
cial. Only once you ride so close to them doyou realise how massive and fascinating theyare.”
The Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm is the titlesponsor of the JBay Wind Farm MTB Classic– the race has traversed the farm since 2014and carries the unique distinction of beingthe only MTB event in Africa to run througha wind farm.
The three routes - 25km fun ride, 50km half-marathon and 85km ultra - will offer some-thing for all skill and fitness levels.
The race will start and finish at the Kabel-jous Hub.
