The study seeks to investigate the effect of old age grant on poverty eradication programme in Dutywa community in Eastern Cape. Three objectives were set for the study that include: to find out the influence of old age grant on poverty alleviation; to examine the challenges faced by old age grant beneficiaries in fighting poverty; to explore coping mechanisms available for old age grant beneficiaries in fighting poverty; to find out if there are any other support services put in place by professionals or agencies such as Social Workers, Nurses, Educators and Traditional leaders in fighting poverty. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to collect data from respondents. A sample of seventy (70) respondents for quantitative approach and sixteen (16) participants for the qualitative approach were purposively selected for the study. The results reveal that old age grant gives beneficiaries an opportunity of spending, which in turn sustains impoverished and vulnerable communities. In this way, the old age grant strengthens existing, deep-rooted informal social protection systems and social networks. In the case of Dutywa community, this is seen in instances where beneficiaries of the old age grant enable many rural grandmothers to take care of their grandchildren and afford beneficiaries’ necessities. It was concluded that old age grant has positively reduced poverty in Dutywa community of Eastern Cape though it does not meet all their necessities. Appropriate recommendations were made in the study.

Kwaqal’ukulunga! These are the words of one of Amathole District sons of the soil, utata uSamuel Edward Krune Mqhayi, born in Alice in 1917, when he was lamenting on the sinking on the Mendi ship. A dark period in our history which then marked fateful moments of disasters for our nation as people lost their lives fi ghting a war that wasn’t theirs. Together with the University of Fort Hare and Umhlobo Wenene FM, our fi rst SEK Mqhayi Language Conference we held resolved that we must promote isiXhosa as a national language and establish both an Institute and a Literature Museum. This is why in our Communication Strategy there is strong emphasis on using community radio; and isiXhosa as the fi rst choice medium of talking to our people. This afternoon, manene nani manenekazi, when I look at the plight and state of our beloved District, I can’t help but liken the period that we are in as that of ukuzika kwenqanawe ethwele amathemba abantu bakuthi.

Mbhashe Local Municipality has developed the draft IDP within an approved IDP process plan and engaged in a consultation process to ensure that communities become part of the planning and decision making processes. The Municipality engaged in a strategic planning session, where a SWOT analysis was established and strategic objectives were developed. The process was followed by the development of projects emanating from the needs and challenges identified in the strategic planning session and IDP public participation. It is with great pride to highlight the effort taken by the municipality to appoint a Municipality Manager after long years of vacancies in these managerial posts who in his arrival has fast tracked the appointment of other senior managers, together with his team have reviewed our organisational structure as are about to fill all vacant posts and later ensured that this IDP and Budget processes are aligned; that the SDBIP is linked to the IDP and that public participation has been done as required by legislation and we are confident that through the Integrated Development Plan the municipality will be in a position to deliver services in line with the countries constitutional standards. With the above assertion, this IDP comes at the time when municipalities throughout the country in general are faced with genuine community civil disobediences hidden in those being mischievous protests coming from within us, while we as woman fight the war on devilish abuse of women and children, job creation to boosting our local economy and this has left our Municipality being no exception.
