MAMOHLOLOMOLOI (30), mother ofThato Moloi (10), is taking the Dihla-beng Local Municipality to court.

Mamohlolo, from Fateng tse Ntsho inPaul Roux, said she would be meetingwith her lawyers before the end of thisweek to file a case against the munici-pality for the injuries to her son.

“I am meeting with my lawyerssoon. I want the municipality to pay forthe injuries to my son. They should al-

so pay me for the pain that I had gonethrough on that day,” she said.

It is alleged that the mentally chal-lenged Thato recently fell into a holewhich was left open by Mashinini Enter-prises, a company that had been con-tracted by the municipality to installsewer lines in Paul Roux.

According to Mamohlolo, her son hadlost a tooth during the incident and

had to be taken to hospital wheresome loose teeth had to be sup-ported with braces.

“He was playing outsidewhile I was cleaning the

house. We usually lock thegate because we don’t wanthim to play outside the yard.On that day he jumped over

the gate and fell into the holewhich was near the gate,” shesaid.

She said she had heard thechild screaming while workingin the house and ran outside.“I looked for him and he was ly-

ing helplessly in the hole. I helpedhim out and he was badly injured.

We then took him to the DihlabengRegional Hospital for treatment,” she

Mamohlolo said the municipalitywould pay for the pain that she hadfelt on that day and pointed out that,had the contractor covered the holewith something, the child would nothave fallen in.

“They left the holes open for aboutfour months and these pose athreat to the community. Some of

the holes are near the pavementwhere the children pass to

and from school,” she said.The DA stated that it was amazed at the

negligence of the company and was appalledby the municipality for not monitoring thework done by the company.

Piet Ramaele, the DA councillor in Dihla-beng, said they were very disappointed andthat it spoke of negligence and the uncaringnature of the municipality towards its resi-dents.

“The DA calls on the municipality to makesure that Mashinini Enterprises covers allthe holes in the township to prevent similarincidents,” he said.

Palo Ntoane, the project manager atMashinini Enterprises, said he had beencalled about the incident by a family memberthe evening of the day on which the incidenthad occurred. He said he had gone there thefollowing day to see what had happened, butsaid that he could find no signs of blood.“When I looked at the victim, he indeed hadwounds, but it was like he was burnt or some-thing like that. I asked them to go to the chem-ist for medication, but they refused,” he said.

Ntoane said the family had not yet dis-cussed the issue with him and that all theywere trying to do was to get the media’s atten-tion.

In the meantime, the hole into which Thatohad allegedly fallen, has been sealed.

TSHEDISO MAITSE, the acting manager:marketing and communications of the Dihla-beng Local Municipality, says the municipalitycares deeply for all its people, both in the com-munity and the staff in the municipality’s em-ployment, and want to ensure that while dis-charging its service delivery mandate, no oneis put in harm’s way – life or limb.“The municipality ensures that for every

project undertaken, as part of contract man-agement and also contained in every servicelevel agreement entered intowith service pro-viders, all regulations as contained in the Na-tional Occupational Health and Safety Act arestrictly adhered to. Some of the safety meas-ures contractors are expected to comply withinclude, but are not restricted to, the follow-ing: the use of safety nets and danger tapes tobarricade open trenches; warning signs; andthe shortest possible time for the filling ofholes and trenches.”He said the incident in Paul Roux that had

been reported in the media was regrettableand as amunicipality they were conducting aninvestigation and if culpability could be provenon either their part or the contractor’s, cor-rective steps would be taken.“Themunicipality does not owe any service

provider any unpaid fees, and no contractorhas ever had to abandon any project as a resultof not being paid. All the projects underwayare running smoothly and on schedule and anyassertion to the contrary is devoid of anytruth,” he said.

The ceremony was held at the Ba-ken Park Stadium in Bethlehem onFriday.

Mothibedi said the challenges thatshe had, was to transport the pa-tients to the clinic and also to collectfood for them.

“I had to take money out of mypocket and hire transport to do allthose things, but now I think thepressure is off me,” she said.

Mashinini said he was happy thathis companyhas bought a vehicle forthe hospice. He said they had seen itfit to do that for them because theywere taking care of the community.

“Not all people could have donewhatMothibedi has done. Those peo-ple who had been lying there arefrom our community and we shouldmake sure that we support peoplewho had been taking care of them,”he said.

Motebang Mokoena, son of theFree State Stars boss, Mike Mokoe-na, has donated a fridge on the day.

Mashinini has urged his col-leagues in business to come on boardand help the NGO’s and added thatthey should stop asking for financial

statement from them since some donot have it.

“We should remember where weare coming from.Weneverhad thosethings alsowhenwestarted ourbusi-ness. Those people don’t have moneyand we should give it to them so that

they would be able to talk about thefinancial statements.”

He said he knew that the NGO didnot have money to take care of thecar and he had decided to insure itfor them.

SesiNtombela, theFree StateMEC

for Social Development, said Ma-shinini has shown the world that hecares for other people and she has re-quested him to help more others.

“We would make sure that my de-partment also join the party to addvalue to the project,” she said.

MOHLAUDI MPHUTHI, Bohlokong, Beth-lehem:

LAND has always been the major source ofsurvival until the arrival of men from farfield. You cannot separate the struggle fromthe land, hence it has become an importantaspect of heritage for the emancipation of Af-ricans.The land issue has not been settled well on

the African continent. To the South Africans,history will judge Mandela as a failure in thisregard, despite winning us international rec-ognition and participation.The dawn of democracy was supposed to be

a landmark drive of land redistribution, butturned out to be a reconciliationphase. Recon-ciliation is a failed political project, as it hasnot scrutinized all angles of bridging the gapbetween blacks and whites.Whites had their millions untouched which

they have benefited from the apartheid re-gime. Blacks has to enter democracy empty-handed except for our leaders whomakemon-ey throughmeans only known to them.Whereis the bridging between people who were hos-tile to each other when met with such a sce-nario? Reparations of blacks would haveserved better if we were aiming at building

a problem-free democratic South Africa.The three ships that entered our shores

withno landhas amassedwealth andvast hec-tares of land – their mission has been accom-plished. They had coined the legislation to ad-vance the course and settle their people. Oneday blacks will wake up asking the question,“Who moved our land?”The majority still struggle to find land

whilst their forefathers once had land. Will-ing buyer willing seller is jocular and will notaddress the landmark cheat of 1913. Knowinghistory very well you still find people todaybeing driven off the land without being givenan alternative.As long as black people are without land,

their part of heritage is missing and anycourse that does not advocate for total redis-tribution of the land is a futile exercise. Peo-ple need to be settled once and for all on theland of their forefathers and Frantz Fanonwas right about the black condition.We have leaders who use their stomach to

think.Having inherited a divided society theyhave done little to eradicate the sad realitiesof the past.All our leaders have accomplished is to stay

in the suburbs and forget about the town-ships.

The struggle cannot be separated from land

the league withR250 000 and prom-ised to increase it astimewent by and nowhe has done it.Mofokeng said the

money that they gaveaway was aimed atdeveloping football inthe municipality.“I would love to see

the association run-ning the leaguewith aR1 million budget infuture,” he said.He said there were

many challenges fac-

ing the youth and at times they had pointed outthat they had nothing that kept them busy andthat was why they joined criminal activities.Mofokeng said they were not only doing this
