Hustlers hit hospitals
Burqa­clad con artists steal from patients
Patients warn of hospital prowlers
KAILENE PILLAY
TWO women, dubbed the “Hospital Hustlers”
have allegedly been stealing from vulnerable and
ill patients at hospitals in Pietermaritzburg and
Howick.
The women, dressed in “Muslim attire” from
head to toe, have allegedly befriended groggy
patients or pretended to be relatives before
stealing their personal belongings. St Anne’s Hospital, Midlands Medical Centre
and Medi­Clinic Hospital declined to comment
on the alleged incidents. One woman, who had been admitted to St
Anne’s Hospital in Pietermaritzburg two weeks
ago, said her cellphone went missing after a
woman dressed in a “Muslim garb” visited her,
pretending to know her. “I had just returned to my ward after my CAT
scan and was really groggy and tired. I was sit­
ting on my bed eating my supper when a lady
dressed in an all­black garb visited me,” said the
patient, who asked not to be named. The patient
said she could only see the woman’s eyes and
fingers and although she did not know who she
was, she spoke to the woman. She said the woman asked how she was feel­
ing and told her that “Mummy will come visit
soon”.
“She kept talking about her mother. I asked
how she knew I was in hospital and she said
‘Mummy told me’. I was confused but thought
maybe, with my medication, I was slow in recog­
nising who this was,” she said. The patient said the woman began brushing
her hair and even opened her bedside drawers.
She said the nurses were nowhere to be seen.
“I thought I was with someone I knew.”
“She saw my nightgown in my cupboard and
asked me why I had brought the red one when
she had bought me a new blue gown,” the pa­
tient said. She said although she was confused she did
not ring the bell to alert the nurse. “It must have been the medication I was on
but I complied with whatever she said. She even
asked me to walk with her to the car because
she had toiletries for me and I just followed
blindly,” the woman said. She said the woman, “with thin and dark fin­
gers”, never mentioned a name but continued
with her to the reception area. Patient 1

Bolt keen to race SA’s golden man
RIO DE JANEIRO — Usain Bolt, fresh from
winning an unprecedented third consecutive
Olympic 100 m gold, said he was open to racing
newly­appointed world 400 m record holder
Wayde van Niekerk over 300 m.
In a thrilling night of action at Rio’s Olympic
Stadium on Sunday, Van Niekerk crushed Mich­
ael Johnson’s 17­year­old world record when he
timed 43,03 seconds to win gold in the one­lap
race. Bolt (29) is world record holder in the
100 m and 200 m and said he would fancy his
chances against the 24­year­old South African,
but over 300 m, not 400 m.
“That would be a good race!” Bolt said of
the potential staging of the rarely­run 300 m.
“This year I was hoping that I was in good
shape when my coach told me that they were
going to put on a 300 m. I wasn’t in the best
of shape. Hopefully next season, if he’s in good
shape, we might get a chance to run.”
Bolt said he was confident Van Niekerk, who
has a best of 9,98 sec in the 100 m and 19,94sec
in the 200 m, would not beat him over the latter
distance. “… but I am really proud of him because when
he came to Jamaica I said to him, ‘Listen, you
are the only person that I think can break this
400 m world record’,” Bolt said. Bolt couldn’t resist one tiny dig, however,
saying he would be world 400 m record holder
if his coach Glen Mills have had his way. “If
it was up to him I’d be running 400 m right
now, but I’ve bobbed and weaved.” — AFP.

The woman said she was told to take off her
earrings as her visitor had bought her new ear­
rings. “Thank God I didn’t take off my earrings and
the moment she left for her car to fetch some­
thing I returned to my ward and found that my
Samsung phone was missing,” the patient said.
Another patient admitted at the Medi­Clinic
Hospital in Howick had her iPad stolen after
a woman dressed in similar Muslim attire visit­
ed her on Sunday. The Witness contacted the woman last week
‘THESE ARE CRIMINALS, NOT MUSLIMS’
LOCAL Muslim community leader and academic, Mohamed Saeed, said he had heard about the incidents taking place at the local hospitals. Saeed described the Burqa (Muslim garment) as a “re­
ligious obligation” one chooses. “In that way we expect those who wear the Burqa to
behave in a religious manner and not commit crimes. To hear about this is truly disrespectful and unacceptable,” Saeed said. He said if the criminals were wearing Mus­
lim attire to commit crimes “then they are causing harm to the Muslim religion and por­
traying the Burqa in a negative image”.
He urged the culprits to immediately stop using the Burqa for such deeds and called on all the victims to report their cases to the po­
lice. Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa crosses the finish line of the men’s 400 m final far ahead of Kirani James of Grenada and LaShawn Merritt of the United States at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games yesterday. PHOTO: RICHARD HEATHCOTE/GETTY IMAGES
Patient 2
UKZN lecturer Dr Lubna Nadvi said this was a rather
unfortunate case where criminals are using religious outer garb for their criminal activity. Nadvi said that although the criminals were using Mus­
lim attire, it was really about criminals trying to get eas­
ier access to their victims and not about the clothing they wore. She said people should also refrain from as­
suming that these criminals were Muslim. and she referred us to a friend as she was about
to enter the hospital’s operating theatre.
The friend, who asked not to be named, said
her 73­year­old friend was alone in her ward
when a woman came just before the 3 pm visit­
ing hours on Sunday. “She was alone and laying on her bed because
she depends on her oxygen tank. A lady came
in and pulled her buzzer away from her,” she
said. According to the friend, the woman in Mus­
lim garb said she was in the wrong ward and
left. “It was only a little later when she was looking
for her iPad did she realise it was missing. That
lady was the only lady that came into her room
and she realised it must have been her who stole
it,” she said. Police spokesperson Sergeant Mthokozisi
Ngobese said the police were aware of the inci­
dents and urged patients and the community
to be on high alert. “People must not allow these women to take
advantage of them,” Ngobese said. CALLING ALL KZN FANS TO PUT YOUR WRITING SKILLS TO THE TEST

R2 million breathing space
Decision time for coalitions
Non­returning councillors get three months’ pensionable salary to look for new jobs
PHILDA ESSOP
SABELO NSELE
AFTER over a week of sensitive talks
between opposition parties, tomor­
row will be make or break day for coa­
litions in three large metros and more
than 20 smaller municipalities.
The DA and the EFF meet today,
after which the DA will also meet
with the UDM, Cope, the ACDP, the
FF Plus and other parties.
Coalition governments must be
formed in 27 municipalities across
South Africa where no single party
managed to garner an absolute ma­
jority in the municipal elections.
The ANC has also negotiated with
opposition parties in an attempt to
form coalition governments.
All the “king maker” parties have
already met with the DA and the
ANC behind closed doors to list their
demands.
The African Independent Con­
gress (AIC) said it has already agreed
in principle to enter into a coalition
agreement with the ANC in Ekurhu­
leni and Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, the DA said a “tenta­
tive agreement” has been reached
with the EFF on possible co­opera­
tion. If this DA­EFF agreement be­
comes official, it is possible that the
three large metros — Johannesburg,
Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay
(Port Elizabeth) — that used to be
governed by the ANC, could be joint­
ly government by the DA, EFF and
smaller parties.
James Selfe, chair of the DA’s feder­
al council, said yesterday the DA will
meet “within 24 hours” with the EFF
on their requests. Selfe is certain coa­
lition agreements will be reached in
the next two days, in good time for
Saturday’s deadline.
He said negotiations become diffi­
cult when the time runs out with is­
sues unaddressed and people make
decisions in a hurry, but he was sure
the parties had enough time. “At this
stage I am certain that everything will
be in place within the next 48 hours,”
Selfe said. The parties aim to hold their first
local council meetings on Thursday
or Friday.
The top leaders of the EFF met yes­
terday in Johannesburg to decide
their approach to the coalitions, but
last night did not react to media que­
ries except to say a media conference
is being planned for tomorrow.
The UDM said all negotiations will
take place today, while the ACDP and
Cope and FF Plus are still meeting
several parties today.
GOLDEN handshakes for Msunduzi
councillors who have not cracked the
nod to be included in the new council
will cost taxpayers close to R2 million.
The Department of Co­operative
Governance and Traditional Affairs
(Cogta) has confirmed it has budgeted
R309 million as a once­off gratuity pay­
ment to non­returning councillors.
The payment is based on a calculation
of three months of the last salary they
earned.
In Msunduzi, 22 of the 37 ward coun­
cillors who had served in the previous
term will not see another five years in
office.
While a handful of them have re­
signed, most of them are heading to the
political wilderness after they failed to
secure their futures during the parties’
nomination process.
The ANC accounts for most changes
as it is bringing about 17 new faces to
the council while the DA has about six
new people for the council chambers.
On August 29, 2011, the Independent
Commission for the Remuneration of
Public Office­bearers recommended
that qualifying non­returning council­
lors who had served a full term of office
and did not return, should be paid a
SABELO NSELE
LECTURES were suspended at the Uni­
versity of KwaZulu­Natal’s Pietermaritz­
burg campus amid student unrest yes­
terday.
The shutdown comes against the
backdrop of a tightening of security at
the University of Johannesburg and the
University of the Witwatersrand amid
fears of another wave of “Fees Must Fall”
protests.
The situation remains tense at terti­
ary institutions after Higher Education
and Training Minister Blade Nzimande
postponed the eagerly awaited an­
nouncement on the 2017 tertiary fee in­
crement on Friday at the eleventh hour.
The increment was expected to be a
six percent capping of fee increases
across all tertiary institutions. When the
announcement was postponed, student
bodies started mobilising support.
The UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus
strike started on Thursday night.
By Sunday night students had gath­
ered again and had started protesting.
While the students were complaining
mostly about the students’ funding
scheme, the National Student Financial
Aid Scheme, an SRC member told The
Witness the funding scheme would not
be an issue if tertiary education were
free.
The student leader, who asked not to
be named as he fears victimisation, said
they were opposed to any fee increments
because the fight for free education con­
tinues.
Carrying sticks and stones, students
had started gathering at the campus in
the early hours and before the lectures
could commence, they had run riot al­
ready. Students who arrived for early lec­
tures, seemingly unaware of the protest
action, were seen being sent away while
police and security personnel kept a
watch at the institution.

Cogta said most councillors do not

unable to service their debts, meet basic
financial living requirements, or pay

office.

JOHANNESBURG — Universities have raised concern over possible retrenchments should there be no fee increase for 2017, Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande said yesterday. Nzimande said yesterday that the ministry’s conundrum
was that it had to take into account “the feeling of stu­
dents, but at the same time, we must also look at the viability of our institutions”. He said he was concerned that universities would start retrenching or close down certain programmes. — News24. Make-up & Beauty Store

hand constituted a multi­stakeholder fo­

fee increments has been made.
“We urge all students to adhere to the
university rules, regulations and applica­
ble protocols in dealing with grievances,

CLEAN AUDIT FOR KZN TREASURY
KWAZULU­NATAL’S provincial Treasury department has received its seventh clean audit report from the auditor­gen­

CORRECTION
IN the graphic representation of Msun­
duzi Municipality’s new council published on Friday, August 12, the councillor named for Ward 34 was incorrect. The ANC councillor in Ward 34, East­
wood, is Michael “Mike” Amod. The Witness apologises for the error.
POLITICAL pundits are tight­lipped
on who the contenders for top posi­
tions in the Msunduzi Municipality
are following the recent local govern­
ment elections. Top positions for the ANC­led
municipality such as deputy mayor,
council speaker and chief whip are
still to be assigned. ANC provincial secretary Mzi Zu­
ma said he could not comment on
the rumours, however, the provincial
executive committee was due to meet
last night. “They will meet and decisions will
be taken there,” he said. However, rumours buzzing in the
City Hall corridors suggest the only
change from the previous council in
those positions is that of speaker. It is believed Babu Baijoo will not re­
turn to his seat as speaker and chair­
person for the full council sitting.
Rumour has it that Ward 1 council­
lor Jabulisile Ngubo will replace Bai­
joo in the council, but the deputy
mayor and chief whip position will
still be held by their former incum­
bents. According to a well­placed source
in the Msunduzi Municipality, ANC
stalwart Truman Magubane will re­
main as chief whip and Thobani Zu­
ma will remain as deputy mayor. However, rumours surfaced this
week that the ANC National Execu­
tive Committee requested that all
former placements remain in their
positions, including that Baijoo re­
main speaker. Sources refused to allow The Wit­
ness to reveal their names in the
newspaper, saying they have only
heard the rumours and that the posi­
tions are yet to be finalised. “It seems, from information we
have been receiving, that only the
speaker’s position is hanging in the
balance,” one of the sources said. The date for the inauguration of
the new councillors has also not yet
been finalised. Msunduzi spokesperson Nqobile
Madonda said the date was initially
set for this Friday, but has not been
confirmed. The provincial MEC for Co­oper­
ative Governance and Traditional
Affairs Nomusa Dube­Ncube an­
nounced that municipalities will
start reconstituting all newly elected
municipal councils from tomorrow.
The process will involve all coun­
cillors taking the oath of office and
the election of office bearers and rep­
resentatives assigned to district mu­
nicipalities. She said first sittings of the new
councils should be convened be­
tween August 17 and 24. “We ask all designated councillors
to go into these sittings knowing that
they are now servants of the people
regardless of which political party’s
ticket they were elected on. As we go
into these meetings, we appeal for re­
spect and political maturity, we must
not waste time on unnecessary pow­
er games and political theatre. We all
have a common purpose — to get
municipalities delivering services to
communities,” said Dube­Ncube.
