RURAL Development and Agrarian ReformMECMlibo Qoboshiyane was at Ludeke Pri-mary School in Libode recently as part of hisproject to enable schools to produce pupilswho consider a career in agriculture or ruraldevelopment.

Ludeke is one of several schools adoptedby theMECwith the aimof providing techni-cal support and the maintenance of schoolgardens.The department gave hundreds of seed-

lings for the school and other surroundingschools.Qoboshiyane said he wanted more in-

volvement in agriculture from young peopleand for the country to look at the EasternCape when it came to ploughing.“We want people to return to gardening.

We want to be able to produce our own milk,eggs to help with the schools feedingscheme.”

Principal Thulani Giqwa said he washumbled by the presence of the MEC at hisschool.He said the efforts by the MEC brought

hope andwould inspiremany children fromthe location - even the ones who had givenup on education.“These seedlings will assist us greatly. To

have our own garden will assist us in usingour nutrition funds for other things that theschool needs.“We don’t have much and we have to save

every bit we can tomake our school better,”Giqwa said.The principal said most of the pupils in

the area were victims of social ills like un-employment.“Most kids here depend solely on grants

which happen to support the whole familyand those situations are demoralising forthe children,” he said.The MEC is working closely with the De-

partment of Education to ensure the successof his adopt-a-school project.

Department of Education officials havebeen deployed to ensure proper links be-tween the adopted schools and the Depart-ment of Rural Development and AgrarianReform.Qoboshiyane was joined by the Progres-

sive Youth Alliance in also handing out 100pairs of shoes to needy children at theschool.The alliance has embarked on a back-to-

school campaign to supply children fromdisadvantaged schools with school shoes.

mustknowhowtousethelandandgettheir hands dirty and that will resultin good endings,” she said.“It is not our culture to buy every-

thing from the shop. As for me, I buyonly cooking oil, rice and a few otherthings which I am unable to producefrom the soil.”When the Express crew arrived at

numbers to her home to buy chickensand vegetables.She said thatwhengrowingup they

used to wake up in the morning andrush to hoe the big fields of maizewhich were owned by her father.This had created a passion for agri-

culture in her heart.She said that even at the Cicirha

Training College in Mthatha whereshe did her teaching diploma she hadexcelled in agriculture as they hadhad their own plots.Despite her age,mamaNtombomzi

is still doingeverything inhergardenand the entire yard is green.She said that even while she was

workinginLibodeasaninspectorshehad never stopped using the land asshe had hired unused fields andploughed maize and sold it.Even today Madinga uses her-

whole yard to grow produce.She also asks her neighbours to

give her unused land and pays themwith what she produced from thatland.She said the secret behind her

THE Portfolio Committee on HigherEducation and Training has called on theState Information Technology Agency toprioritise the issue of certification back-logs for the (vocational) National Certifi-cate in order to allow young SouthAfricans an opportunity to be in the jobmarket.

SITA came to brief the committee onthe progress it has made since it lastvisited parliament in August last year,when it committed to clearing the backlogin six months.The January 31 deadline was missed

and the agency asked for an extension toJune this year.Committee chairperson Yvonne Phosa

said failure to deliver on this area ofservice delivery affected many youngpeople and their employability.“The committee is adopting a zero-toler-

ance approach on this issue,” she said.“This is about the lives of those stu-

dents who are affected. These are peoplewho are suffering as a result of poorperformance by the entity despite all theefforts the government is making toincrease access to education,” Phosa said.“The failure to clear the backlogs talks

to a lack of responsiveness to the needs ofyoung South Africans and reflects badlyon the entity.”She asked SITA to outline the kind of

support it required to meet the Junedeadline and said the committee would inthe meantime raise the issue of SITA’scapacity, which seemed to be a challenge,with its counterparts in the Telecommuni-cations and Postal Services PortfolioCommittee.

MTHATHA-BORN jazz artist Kanyisawas admitted to the Chris Hani Baragwa-nath Academic Hospital in Johannes-burg after suffering a stroke on January23.

The singer, whose real name is Nomda-kazana Mnyaka, spent almost a week inhospital and is still undergoing treat-ment, which could mean that it will be awhile before she returns to the stage.The songbird is also under watchful

eye of a physiotherapist, sometimes goesjogging and is responding well.The hit-maker of Iyandibetha le ndoda

fame confirmed this week that she had be-come serious ill recently while she wason a visit in Lenasia.“My body became shrivelled, I was una-

ble to feel my left side, I was dizzy andmy mouth was twisted on one side. I wasdischarged from hospital on Tuesday last

week,” she said.Mnyaka thanked her friends who had

supported her all the way.“I was seriously ill, but their support

made me strong and defeated thestroke.”Her experience has led to her deciding

to commence a stroke-awareness cam-paign.“I went through hell and I don’t want

to see other people to go through whatI have experienced.“I need to give them information about

the malady.“Soon after I have fully recovered I

will go on the streets of this country tomake people aware of the dangers of suf-fering a stroke.”She vowed that she would beat the

stroke, no matter what.She promised to release a track which

would describe the illness and the timethat she was in her hospital bed not feel-ing her body at all.

SAJONISI Youth Radio (SYR) sta-tion manager Smiso Shozi is con-fident that the station will finallygo on air late this year.

The community station basedin Port St Johns received its

broadcasting licence from the In-dependent Communication Au-thority of South Africa (Icasa) in2013.The station was supposed to be

on air by early 2014, but a lack ofsupport meant the station couldnot broadcast at the earlier de-sired date.

Shozi said it had been difficultto secure funding when the sta-tion was supposed to go on airthree years ago.He did not want to dwell much

on the detail about funding andwhere the support had finallycome from, but he reassured thecommunity of Port St Johns that

there was no need for panic.“Things were different back

then and now we have a couple ofbusinesses who will support us.“The people of Port St Johns

and the OR Tambo region shouldnot worry, Sajonisi Youth Radiowill surely start broadcasting thisyear.

“We know that people havebeen patientlywaiting for the one-and-only youth radio in the East-ern Cape that will cover the ORTambo District Municipality.”Shozi said the station was all

about youth empowerment andthe station had been built as a so-cial movement.

Sajonisi Youth Radiowill be on air this year ­ Shozi
