SAVING WATER IS URGENT 1. Save any water in a bucket instead of letting it wash down the drain. 2. Capture and save any rain water when it comes. 3. Check your water meter and bill. Make sure that it is accurate. 4. Wash dishes wisely. Do not let them pile up, and use only the dishes that you need. 5. Use grey water, such as urine and other waste water, to water your garden. 8 February 2019 • Vol. 149 Issue: 05 Tips from http://www.h2ohero.co.za Rural needs more than rain

The Sevens Fountains community is provided with water from four bulk water tanks that are filled by Makana, as well as a borehole. Although the tanks are full, the community suffers from other service delivery and development issues. Photo: Stephen Kisbey-Green

The source since 1870 Rain is not the only thing to pray for

The other day I stumbled upon quite a humorous scene: a young boy on a bicycle was intentionally stuck in a huge pud- dle. Paying no mind to the fact that he was stuck, training wheels deep in rainwater, the little boy continued pedalling, laughing and screaming at the splash of water that came shooting up from his back wheel. The carefree nature of the scene made me smile, for it was a brief glimpse of relief from the Eastern Cape’s drought. Similar to the young boy, Makhanda (Grahamstown) resi- dents have also been in higher spirits since the rain. The hill- sides are slowly turning a faint shade of green, and jojo tanks are quickly overflowing. There is no doubt that the rainfall is worshipped and praised like a high deity, and following weeks of prayers for rain, is rightfully earned. However, rain is not the only thing residents should be praying for. This week as part of our rural drought reporting series our team visited Seven Fountains, Salem and Avondale. Ironi- Good Shepherd Primary School Monitors for 2019 were recently inducted in a special service at the Cathedral. (Back row from left) Dr cally enough, our visit was in the rain.

After searching for someone to speak to, our team met Bonakela Mbangani and Jack Gobile; two residents who struggle to access water. It wasn’t hard to believe: there appeared to be more buckets and bottles in the community than residents. Avondale is one of three state-owned farms in the area (and among more than a dozen within the municipality) where the water supply in insufficient for the community living there. Makana Municipality has earmarked drought-relief funding to sink boreholes, but meanwhile continues to deliver truckloads of water to farming communities all over the municipality - at a cost that councillors have flagged as unsustainable. No money to repair broken municipal water trucks means that Avondale and many other areas received their last delivery more than two months ago. The communities on Castle Farm and Ripley were reportedly also experiencing dire water shortages, although the Grocott’s Mail team did not visit these farms.

Grocott’s Mail is working hand in hand with communities of Grahamstown, exposing their talent for what is called vukuzenzele. We travel to every corner of Makhanda (Grahamstown) to visit people who are passionate about their gardens. Each week we showcase one garden. At the end of the month Sunnyside Garden Centre chooses the garden of the month and gives seeds to the individual or group so they can continue planting. The winners for January are the Community Works Programme (CWP) in Raglan Road Day Care Centre Clinic, under Supervisor Nobathembu Peter. “We’re very happy about the seeds,” Peter said. “This means everything to our work and the community members can see we’re doing something. I thank the owner of Sunnyside Garden Centre for giving us seeds, and I thank you Grocott’s Mail for going out and showing the Grahamstown people what we are doing as the (CWP) workers.” Malcom Southey, the owner of Sunnyside Garden Centre, said he’d been inspired by the CWP workers’ project. “The CWP workers are helping plant vegetables for people from the community,” Southey said. “They help elderly people from the community, those who attend the clinic and the old age home in Raglan Road, so I think they deserve the encouragement.” – Text and photo: Lindani Donyeli

SA vs Sri Lanka Proteas women’s all-rounder Suné Luus showed good character when she set up her side’s two-wicket win with a second career five-wicket haul in their second women’s T20 international fixture against Sri Lanka at the Bidvest Wanderers on Sunday 3 February. The hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Luus’ 5/14 in 3.4 overs was not even her career best, she took a sensational 5/8 against Ireland at the 2016 ICC Women’s World T20 in India. The Proteas swept the series with their final victory on Wednesday.

Their recent draw took the Port Elizabeth side one place above their opponents on the PSL table, and Chippa will be wanting to cause problems for the home side when they take on the Stars in Bloemfontein.
