Fishermen claim wildlife authority is restricting their use oi kraals

Mphathi Nxumalo

HE ENKOVUKENI com- munity in Umhlabuyalingana Municipality, near the border of Mozambique, is crying foul about iSimangaliso Wetlands restrictions on their fishing method. The community live off the fish in the Makawulana River, which surrounds the community, forming a small island. Their method of fishing is by creating fish kraals which, when they are properly formed, trap the fish. However, during a visit by an Independ- ent Media team to the area at the weekend in a boat sponsored by the Department of Transport, Sharks Board, SA Maritime Safety Authority and other stakeholders, residents pointed out their unhappiness. They claimed the wildlife authority was preventing them from “putting food on

the table”. Richard Ngubane, 50, said IsiMangaliso had issues with the fish kraals. The father of five said the fishing kraal he relied on to catch fish had been passed down to him by his father who, in turn, received it from his father. He said he had been fishing using this method for the past 2-L years, since he was retrenched. The kraals, which take up to 18 months not preclude fishing; rather, they require making it important that fishing be done Another resident, Lindani Ngubane, to build, can provide a living for about that fishing occurs within limits,” he said. within limits. said residents were angry because Isim- 1 O00 in the area.

Education cannot bus

all pupils

SABELO NSELE

SCHOLAR transport continues to pose a serious challenge to the pro- vincial Education Department, which has come under fire lately for failing to provide the service to needy rural pupils Who travel long distances to and from schools. Yesterday, the department told a National Council of Provinces ses- sion held at the Pietermaritzburg city

hall that it would not be able to meet

its targets for at least this financial year and the following year. The department provides trans- port to 47 747 pupils in the province and 46 l86 more pupils from 337 schools are in need of the service. Deputy director-general ]udy Dlamini said the target shifted With more pupils needing transport every year. “We Will not be able to meet

it [the target] in the Z017/l8 financial year,” she said. MEC Mthandeni Dlungwana ad- mitted that the department should be doing more, adding his staff are finalising “some issues with the pro-

vincial Department of Transport”. The Transport Department told the finance portfolio committee ear-

lier this year that it would need R4,5 billion to provide transport to all deserving schools and pupils. However, non-govemmental orga - nisation Equal Education has scoffed at the provincial government ’s lam-

entations, saying it Was to blame for

the inadequate budget. It accused the province of failing to motivate to the Treasury for the required funding based on a needs analysis and cost implications. In March this year, the organisa- tion led a march to the Education De- partment’s offices, calling for suffi- cient funding to be allocated for the provision of scholar transport. Equal Education also demanded emergen- cy relief for the ll schools in Nquthu that qualify for scholar transport.

SA airports ranked among best in Africa

AIRPORTS Company of South Africa airports have once again been ranked as some of the best in Africa. Transport Minister yesterday announced the results of the annual Airports Council International’s (ACI) 2015 (ASQ) rankings which measure passenger satisfaction. Upington Airport achieved top honours with first place in the Best Airport by Region - Africa (under 2million passengers per year) cat- egory Cape Town International Airport and King Shaka Inter- national Airport tied for second place in the category, Best Airport by Region - Africa for those air- ports handling over 2million pas- sengers per year. Mauritius was voted best in Africa.

T a m I n t e r -

n a t i 0 n a l A i r p 0 r t was ranked third in its category The Air- port Service Q u a l i t y (ASQ) pro- r g a m m e , under the auspices of Airports Council International, represents 98% of the world’s air- ports. Incheon in Singapore ranked first in Asia-Pacific; Amman in the Middle East, Indianapolis in North America and Guayaquil in Latin America/ Caribbean region while Pulkovo, Sochi and Sheremetyevo shared top honours in Europe. ACSA has nine airports which Peters said were the core of development nodes in South Africa. The concept of the Aero- tropolis, whereby a range of manu- facturing, logistics and commer- cial facilities, complemented by hotels, retail outlets, entertain- ment complexes and offices are clustered around an airport was likely to further accelerate the core role of our airports, particu- larly for the King Shaka Inter- national Airport and its associated Dube Trade Port, she said.. The other major Aerotropolis is directed by Ekurhuleni Metropol- itan Municipality and surrounds OR Tambo International. She also announced that ACSA planned revamps of the inter- national terminals of OR Tambo, King Shaka and Cape Town air- ports, including the realignment of the Cape Town runaway and its domestic arrival terminal. There are also plans to expand parking at Cape Town and OR Tambo and build an additional cargo terminal at OR Tambo. - Staff Reporter GCIS Communication Centre: PRETORIA NEWS: September 14, 2016 pg 5

Joburg bike lanes to go

UNDER the DA, the city of Joburg would do away with the construction of bicycle lanes, while the Johannesburg Metro Police Department has been be instructed to desist from “harassing” residents who owed e-toll fees, mayor Herman Mashaba said yesterday “In our city there will be no co-operation between JMPD and SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) on e-tolls, and I have received a commitment from the JMPD that there will be no harassment of our motor- ists about outstanding e-toll payments,” Mashaba said to loud applause as he delivered his acceptance speech during a council meeting. He said R70million had been set aside by the previous ANC administration for further develop- ment of bicycle lanes around the city “I intend putting a halt to this project. When every road in Johannesburg is tarred, maybe then we will look at bicycle lanes.” Former mayor Parks Tau came under fire from the EFF for building bicycle lanes while residents needed tarred roads and houses. EFF leader Julius Malema said the project was a waste of money meant to sideline the city’s poor. Mashaba vowed to fight c orruption and nepotism in the city and further inve stigate “suspicious” ten- ders and contracts conclude d with the city A forensic

Those f ound guilty of corruption and fraud will go directly t O jail.” Mashaba said the city had incurred R5billion in irregular and wasteful expenditure during the ANC term of office, which would not be tolerated by the DA. His party would institute open tender and transparent processes. “Another way in which I intend curbing corruption is to break large tenders into smaller pieces. No longer will there be con- nected middle men receiving tenders with their sole responsibility being to sub-tender to smaller parties. “I also intend seeing the tender adjudication process being opened to the public and media so as to prevent wrongdoing.” - ANA GCIS Communication Centre: SOWETAN: September 14, 2016: pg 4
