I think that this isquite outrageous,” he said.Ward 9 councillorMxolisi Ntshiba commentedthat he has had no water athis home for three weeks.“Water only comes at midnight.”Ntshiba said youmay find certain houses withwater but across the streetsare houses going without.“CFO, my bill is consistant,it does not reflect that thereis a problem with the water,”he said.Executive Mayor VumileLwana said he has heardthat before water is transportedto rural areas it issold before it reaches thepeople. He said when hehears of such allegations,he believes an investigationshould be made.

An actionplan around the resolutionswas formulated at the indabaand has already beendeveloped and will be takento the Land, Housing, InfrastructuralDevelopment andDisaster Management PortfolioCommittee, said Baart.Some of the resolutionshave already been carriedout, such as a recommendationmade by Whisson duringthe indaba that new RDPhouses should be installedwith a rainwater tank.“I think we will continueto experience these problems,”said Baart, seeingas that the Waainek plantis completely dry. She saidthey have been carting waterto supply the high lyingareas. “Unfortunately interms of the locality of someJoza areas, they are in thehigh lying areas and thatcauses a diminishing of waterpressure.”Councillor Les Reynoldssuggested that additionalpipes be used to feed waterto Grahamstown East as“we are in a crisis situationnow”. He added that somethingneeds to be done soonas the council cannot allowpeople to go without water.MUNICIPAL NOTICENOTICE OF SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGThe Municipal Manager, Ms N L Baart, as duly instructed bythe Speaker of the Makana Municipality (Clr R Madinda), herebygives notice that, in terms of Section 19(b) of the Local Government:Municipal Systems Act, Act No. 32 of 2000, a SpecialCouncil meeting of the Makana Local Municipality will be heldin the Council Chamber, City Hall, High Street, Grahamstownon Wednesday, 13 October 2010 at 16h30.MS.

6 EditorialGrocott’s Mail Friday, 8 October 2010Liberty and ProgressEstablished 1870The value ofindependenceIn by-elections held this week in Kentonon-Sea,an independent candidate, ZacheNgixingo, won Ward 4 with almost 65%of votes cast. This reflects a sharp swingaway from the ANC that in 2006 secured justover 73% of the votes in that ward. It wouldbe foolish to read too much into the resultsof a single ward, after all, the 3 578 voters inKenton are not representative of the nationalpopulation as a whole.On the other hand, on 14 October, wellknown Grahamstown advocate and formerlocal DA Chairperson, Jock McConnachieaims to launch a grouping of independentcandidates to contest next year’s localgovernment elections. He says: “The aimof the New Deal initiative is to de-politiciselocal government and to free it from thegrip of political parties which is stranglingeffective local governance and delivery bothin Makana and elsewhere.”He argues that the initiative to putindependent candidates in council would“re-assert a proper work ethic amongst ourofficials and do away with exorbitant perksand secretive decision-making by a rulingclique behind closed doors”.There is mounting evidence to showthat the politicisation of local government inSouth Africa is having a detrimental effecton service delivery, and there is more thanenough evidence to show that our councillorsare not giving constituents what theydeserve. Even the mayor of Makana Municipality,Vumile Lwana has publicly chastisedcouncillors for not turning up for meetingsthat they are supposed to attend. In fairness,there are some Makana councillors who arevery hard working and diligent, but there areothers – and the mayor knows who you are –who fall way short of required standards.Perhaps the swing vote in Kentonmeans that McConnachie could be ontosomething.South Africa’s Oldest Independent NewspaperIncorporating The Grahamstown Journal(1831 – 1920) Vol. 141 No. 81Published by the David Rabkin Project for ExperientialJournalism Training (Pty) Ltd, 40 High Street,Grahamstown, 6139Telephone: 046 622 7222 • Fax: 046 622 7282/3Website: www.grocotts.co.zaPrinted by PaarlcoldsetE-mAIl AddrESSESNews: editor@grocotts.co.zaWebsite: online@grocotts.co.zaAdvertising: adverts@grocotts.co.za or ronel@grocotts.co.zaSport: sport@grocotts.co.zaletters: letters@grocotts.co.zaGeneral manager: l.vale@grocotts.co.zaEdITOrIAlEditor: Steven LangNews Editor: Abongile MgaqelwaNew media Editor: Michael SalzwedelStaff reporters: Prudence Mini, Andile Nayika,Khanyiso Tshwaku, Olwethu XabanisaStaff Photographer/reporter: Stephen PenneyCommunity news: community@grocotts.co.zaAdvertising manager: Ronél BowlesGeneral manager: Louise ValeGrocott’s Mail is published by theDavid Rabkin Project for ExperientialJournalism, a company wholly ownedby Rhodes University.

Their interests andours are inextricably intertwined. If theyflourish, Makana flourishes. If they wither, wewither.Business people ought to have a direct sayin the management of municipal affairs. Theyshould be represented on council and theirinterests should be informing its decisions.They used to provide key leadership on councilas mayors were very often members of thebusiness fraternity with business expertise.Yet nowadays the businesses have optedout and chosen to ‘leave politics to the politicians’.They’ve done so out of a misguidedsense of self-preservation, believing that theirinterests are best served by going with theflow and being inconspicuous. Hence, for instance,when Grahamstown’s city centre wasreduced to a trash heap during the last municipalstrike, the business fraternity toleratedthe situation and even when one or two werebrave enough to confront the trashers andwere physically assaulted, they were silent.Their timidity is attributable to the tyrannyof the self-proclaimed “ruling party” and itsperceived omnipotence.It explains why, even though most in thebusiness fraternity are unhappy with howMakana is being run, they will not actively andopenly align themselves with opposition to the“ruling party” because they believe they willbecome targets for retribution if they do. Giventhe way the ANC conducts itself in Makanaand elsewhere, the nervousness of the businessfraternity is to some extent understandable,but unless the ANC is challenged or, atthe very least, engaged, it will become moreand more bloated with arrogance and thelevels of efficiency and service delivery, whichare already critical, will continue to decline.The business fraternity needs to once againorganise themselves collectively and to beginexerting direct influence on how our localgovernment functions.They must help to identify suitable independentcandidates to stand in oppositionto the “ruling party” and to represent theirinterests. The Makana New Deal initiativeprovides the business fraternity with a nonpoliticalvehicle to once again involve themselvesconstructively in our local government.They should seize the opportunity. Remainingsupine is detrimental to the economicfortunes of Makana and will, in the end, provedisastrous.Do we have any business leader who isprepared to take up the challenge?Jock McConnachieGreat effort!Congratulations to the group of third yearjournalism students and their helpers fromthe community and from Rhodes for hostinga very successful soccer tournament onSaturday in Joza.

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 8 October 2010Mountain Zebra hikingtrails re-openStaff RepoRteRShort hiking trails in the Mountain Zebra National Park havere-opened to visitors following their closure in mid-July aftera buffalo bull killed a hiker.The one kilometre Imbila Hiking Trail and 2.5km BlackEagle (previously 3km), which start and end at the rest camparea, have re-opened after the entire rest camp area and shorthiking trail area was fenced. A 4.2-kilometre electrified fencewas constructed over a period of two weeks, at a cost of overR250 000. The fence encloses the cottages, reception area,swimming pool, camping ground and short hiking trails and wasconstructed at a low level in front of the cottages so that it willnot interfere with the scenic view.“We are very pleased to be able to once again offer visitorsthe chance to experience the park on foot,” said Park Manager,Lesley-Ann Meyer. She said the short hiking trails, which areavailable to visitors at no extra cost, have always been a popularway to experience the bush and the scenic Karoo landscapes inthe park. Although the fence excludes large wildlife, visitors willstill be able to look out for spoor and signs of animals such askudu, common duiker and steenbok on the short hiking trails.Small mammals like rock dassie, scrub hare, cape hare, porcupine,ground squirrel, meerkat, grey and yellow mongoose arealso found in the area as well as vervet monkey and baboon.The two longer hiking trails: the 10-kilometre Idwala Trailand three-day, 25-kilometre Impofu Trail remain closed atpresent and will re-open later in the year as guided hiking trails.Visitors will be accompanied by an armed guide on these trails.Although the three-day hiking trail is closed, the two mountainhuts which provide overnight stops on the hike are stillavailable for bookings and can be accessed with a high clearancevehicle. The two mountain huts each accommodate 10 peoplein two bedrooms and a “hikers bedroom” with six bunk bedswhere own bedding must be provided. The huts are equippedwith solar-powered fridges, gas stoves, kitchen equipment, abraai area and ablutions.Mountain Zebra National Park is located near the townof Cradock in the Eastern Cape and conserves over 28 000hectares.NewsSOCIAL DRINKING...

10NewsGrocott’s Mail Friday, 8 October 2010Backyard boreholes draw from water tablePrudence MiniThe increase of boreholedrilling in Grahamstowncame up at therecent water indaba. Expertssay that this is robbingGrahamstown of its naturalresources.During the water indaba,Technical and InfrastructuralServices director, DabulaNjilo said a licence is requiredto drill a borehole which isissued by the Departmentof Water Affairs. He addedthat if there is an increase ofdrilling then this also needsto be reported. Makana municipalspokesperson, ThandyMatebese said the municipalitydoes not have a registerfor boreholes which is why itwas recommended during theindaba to develop a policy thatwould deal with the monitoringand approval of new andexisting boreholes. It wasalso suggested that metersbe installed to charge peoplefor depleting the local waterresources.A borehole is sunk deepinto the earth to locate, extractor use underground water.Boreholes around towncan be spotted by signs placedin front of the property. Thisindicates that the people livingon the property use waterfrom the borehole, usually forirrigation purposes. It turnsout that some boreholes aredrilled illegally which may bea reason why some run drylater.A property on BennetStreet has a borehole that wasdrilled in 1986 but is now dry.The owners utilise the waterfor irrigation purposes andhired a contractor two monthsago to drill 150 metres downbut found no water. They saida permit was not required asthey were drilling within theirDRIED UP... This borehole is located at a residence at BennetStreet.

BAART Notice No 49/2010which revealed a high saltcontent in the water. “I can'treally use it for drinking as thewater is hard and not ideal.I just use it to keep my lawnsgreen,” said the resident.“I do think there are a lot ofboreholes in Grahamstownand you will get a lot of peoplethat will say they starteddrilling because of the waterrestrictions not allowing us towater our lawns with municipalwater,“ he said. The residentsaid he did not obtain apermit to drill the borehole.Another property in Grahamstownhas two boreholesbetween 70 and 100m deepwhich is used to irrigate sixhectares of crops. The residentson the property saythat this does not diminishGrahamstown’s water supplyas they have had to rely onusing borehole water whenthe city’s supply ran dry for afew days. They acknowledgedthat a permit for the Departmentof Water Affairs (DWA)is required but are not awareof the municipality’s requirementsother than waterrestrictions.A 2004 study by SRKEngineers and Scientistsstated that 64% of all groundwaterextracted via boreholesis used for irrigation. DWAcurrently has over 34 000boreholes on their databasefor the Eastern Cape andsome of these are monitored.According to the DWA regionalGroundwater Office, thereare 11 registered boreholesreported in the vicinity ofGrahamstown.Dr Jim Cambray of theKowie Catchment Campaign(KCC) noted that when themunicipality makes the findingsof the water indabapublic we will understandtheir thinking on the useof groundwater within themunicipality. “Groundwatermust be considered as oneof the municipality’s watersources for the future andnow we need to take care ofboth the quality and quantityof this resource,” hesaid. He added that studiesfrom around the worldhave shown that this sourceis being depleted. “We needto know how long it takes torecharge our water table inGrahamstown. I have heardthat boreholes have gonedry in town and that now youhave to drill deeper for water.A proper study needs tobe conducted on our groundwater resource. Can we reallyjust keep putting in boreholeswithout any controls?”According to the lawGeneral authorisation of groundwater use in terms of Section39 of the national Water act, 1998 (act no 36 of 1998), statesthat extraction can be performed in five zones and each zone isentitled to a volume that can be extracted per hectare each year.Under Schedule 1 use of Section 39 of the act, a person can usewater from a borehole without a licence for reasonable domesticuse, small scale gardening and not for commercial purposes ofnot more than 10 cubic metres (m 3 ) or in other words five fullbaths (provided the bath is a maximum of two metres long, onemetre wide and one metre deep).Small industrial users such as people who process or bottlefood or mine on a small scale are also included under Schedule1 and may not use more than 20 cubic metres (m 3 ) per day. aborehole drilled for Schedule 1 use does not have to be registeredwith Department of Water affairs (DWa). DWa asks that individualsdo this on a voluntary basis so that they may have data onthe groundwater use of the country. If the General authorisationvolumes are exceeded, a license to use groundwater is required.Grahamstown’s regulationsThe country is divided up into different zones according to availablewater. The Grahamstown area falls under Zone C, where aperson can extract 75 m 3 per hectare each year. Small industrialusers may extract up to 20 m 3 per day.The DWa eastern Cape Groundwater Plan assists the easternCape region management to effectively execute the requiredgroundwater functions. according to the plan, there isn't much extractionmonitoring taking place but groundwater level monitoringis slowly being established.The municipality’s Water and Sanitation Services By-lawsdocument (which you can download from the municipal websitewww.makana.gov.za) states that boreholes are subject to anyrequirement of the national Water act, 1998. It also states thatthe Water Service Provider (an authorised agent) may require theowner or occupier of any premises who intends to sink a boreholeto undertake an environmental impact assessment as no personmay sink a borehole on premises situated in an area wheredolomite is found.according to geologist Dr nick Stavrakis, dolomite areas arefull of caves and tunnels so drilling into it will deplete water resources.It also removes the hydrostatic pressure support underground,creating sink holes where the sub surface falls in. “It isknown to happen that sink holes with underground tunnel systemsare so cavernous that they have been known to drain wholelakes on the surface,” he said.www.grocotts.co.za

The visitors got off to a goodstart before the rain stopped the match. With calculations done accordingto the D/L method, Makana Sona were named the winnersas they had scored 145 runs for two wickets at that stage.This meant that the Sona was 20 runs ahead of their opponents,according to the D/L method. The method is usedin cricket matches internationally to calculate the outcome ofa game in the event of adverse weather conditions or otherfactors which may lead to the stopping of a game.Neville Botha wasat the crease at 58 runs not out and Makana Sona will now faceSalem in an away match on Saturday.Chesley Daniels is is an independent citizen journalist forGrocott’s Mail.WESTHILL - POAAGE OLD ELEGANCE!Enjoy the luxury of large-sized rooms.OATLANDS NORTH - R1 995 000LUXURY WITHOUT UPKEEP - this isfor you!

This initiative iscurrently in its second phase, that of theory and practical testing,throughout all the provinces. This entails all participatingdrivers being tested on their theory and practical knowledge,as well as being taken through advanced and defensive drivingprocedures.In 2004 Brandhouse Road Traffic ManagementCorporation(RTMC) created and implemented the brandhouse/RTMC Number One Taxi Driver Campaign and formulated itwith its policy of community enrichment and not drinking anddriving, as it seeks to educate taxi drivers and other road userson road safety and highlights including driver fatigue, disregardfor traffic rules, drinking and driving, high speed driving, unroadworthinessof vehicles.This year the campaign has adopted the slogan PuttingRoad Safety First, as this encapsulates the essence of the campaign,which aims to deliver responsible role models to the taxiindustry.The campaign is carried out with the endorsement of theDepartment of Transport who has in turn linked the programmeto regional municipalities and taxi associations and this year itis once again endorsed and supported by the South African NationalTaxi Council (Santaco) as well as the National Taxi Alliance(NTA).
