Aids helpline A number of reasons to celebrate 0800012322 MANY people either look forward to the festive pe riod and begin their countdown to Christmas in Oc tober, while others are left running for the hills to AIDS HELPLINE avoid the ‘silliness’ that comes with the season. 0800-012-322 As we get ready to wind down and take a breath er, we decided to reflect on some of the wonderful United we can reasons to celebrate the year that was. Yes, we can talk about some of the lowlights as well (no pun on the word ‘lights’), but that would not be very festive at all. The team at the Fever has had a wonderful year and has shared some truly remarkable memories with you. We’ve had an actionpacked year from meeting wonderful individuals who are slowly changing their communities one step at a time to covering campaigns that shows a proactive community who are willing to fight for their beloved home towns. To those people who are continuously going the

extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto ries. This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses sion coverage because you never know what to ex pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the byelections and once again, hoping for positive change. We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world. The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breathtaking skyline together with a host of won derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa. After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by a South African.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world. South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy. It’s been a year since his death and many ques tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’. Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some times comes to the fore.

>> Eviction notice said occupants had until last Friday to vacate premises The letter was signed by Msunduzi Municipality acting municipal manager, Boniwe Zulu. The occupants said the municipality should stop painting everyone on the site with the same brush, indicating that they are criminals and sell drugs. Moreover, they feel that public consultation on the renovation plans have been hazy, which includes the start and end dates of such plans. Wati Sikhakhane, who has been selling cooked food and cool drinks since the eighties there said the money he makes enables him to take care of his family, including his nine children. “Not everyone at eMatsheni sells drugs. The drugs are not manufactured at eMatsheni. As occupants we contribute towards end-of-year stokvels. How will we manage that if they chase us away?” eMatsheni spokesperson Sfiso Mtshali said it is ironic that the munici-

F the eMatsheni beer hall closes about 200 people will be without jobs, which means that more than 400 people will go hungry. This is according to concerned occupants at this Retief Street beer hall, who were served a notice of eviction, which stated they had until last Friday to vacate the premises. Part of the notice, dated 1 April, from the Msunduzi Municipality reads: “As per the Full Council Resolution dated the 9th of September 2015, it is the intention of the Municipality to: a) Shut down the beer halls on Erf 2246 Pietermaritzburg being 74 Retief Street to allow for the re-planning of the area b) All illegal occupants have until the 30th of April to vacate the property.”

pality stopped providing security and cleaning services for eMatsheni in the mid-nineties, but now they complain about crime and cleanliness at the beer hall. “We are not against the plans the municipality has for this place, but they should not remove us. The speaker of eMatsheni should be included in public consultations and meetings about the said developments. They should never conclude that we are ignorant and that we know nothing about our rights. “They should rather transform this place into a historical site where tourists can come and get information about the beer hall history. eMatsheni is our heritage,” he said. Another occupant, Mlungisi Ngubane, said that eMathseni has ex-convicts, who use the area to turn their lives around by doing legitimate businesses.

eMatsheni beer hall hawker Mlungisi Ngubane holds an eviction letter from the Msundusi Municipality while his mother Thulisile prepares the special of the day at her food stall inside the hall. “If their businesses are closed they will be forced to return to crime again. The responsibility vested on us, as entrepreneurs not as employees, is huge. “With the money we make we are able to pay debts including house bonds, car instalments, university fees, school fees and mostly we put food on the table, as it is a basic need that has no alternative. “If the municipality accuses us of criminal activities, the government must treat us equally or our right to equality is being infringed. “The fact that government had a meeting about us and excluded us means that our right to information was infringed. We were never given a chance to speak about this as our right to freedom of expression. “Drugs are a national issue, not only at eMatsheni. The remedy to it will be to demand a national response. The manner in which the government has done this is not transparent. “It is the municipality’s responsibility to create a tourism site since eMatsheni is older than 60. By law it is recorded as heritage site. With that said the municipality should clean the place and allow tourism activities,” Ngubane said. The beer hall chairman, Dumisani Mdlangathi, said on 21 April they met

with municipal officials to negotiate the resolutions made at the full council meeting. “We are still negotiating with the municipality. As far as we know, it is still business as usual at eMatsheni. We are not against development, but we are just not clear on what the municipality intends to do with this place. “Municipal officials should do their research to find out what exactly happens at eMatsheni. They can then decide what needs to stay and what needs to be removed. The national government must intervene. In the end they will need our vote.” A lecturer at the Durban University of Technology Department of Architecture, Debbie Whelan, has done research on the eMatsheni beer hall. She said the beer hall has opportunity for reuse, has good space and has viable potential. Her 16-page research titled “The beer hall fracas and contested social infrastructure in Pietermaritzburg in the 20th century” explains this phenomenon. Two weeks ago the Msunduzi Municipality was approached for comment on development plans for the beer hall, the costs, the start dates and where the current occupants will be placed, however at the time of going to print they did had not responded.

‘Giver’ a true humanitarian

Imtiaz Sooliman gives an inspirational speech at the 23rd Alan Paton Lecture. PHOTO: NICOLE JOHN

>> Gift of the Givers was established more than 20 years ago NICOLE JOHN >>news@myecho.co.za

MTIAZ Sooliman gave an inspirational speech at the recent 23rd Alan Paton Lecture at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The Alan Paton Centre & Struggle Archives have hosted numerous guest speakers over the years including, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This year the theme was “Human Rights and Humanitarianism” and Sooliman provided insight into the work his organisation, Gift of the Giver (GoG), has done over the years. GoG was established more than 20 years ago and is the largest disaster response organisation on the African continent. It has offered support to people in need across the globe to the tune of R1.4 billion in 41 countries.

Sooliman, a qualified medical doctor, explained that before he began his organisation in 1992 he was given a task by a spiritual leader in Turkey who told him to form an organisation that helps all people. “He told me that I will serve all people, irrespective of race, religion, culture, creed or geographical location.” So when he returned to South Africa he did exactly that. His organisation made history in numerous sectors and boasts 101 awards. However through all this Sooliman said his workers look at every individual with “love, kindness, compassion and mercy” regardless of where in the world they are from. “We don’t see anything, but a human being. We all bleed the same blood. Problems come in when you start to think in boxes and put labels

on groups of people,” he said. GoG workers are dedicated to responding as quickly as possible to every corner of the world where there is a need. Sooliman said the work they do is not done so that it can be reported about, and teams have often found themselves in places where no other disaster relief teams have been to before. “We go where the need is greatest, not where the flock runs,” he said. Sooliman explained that when he was given the task to start this organisation he was told the work will be done through him not by him. “The spiritual leader told me that I am just the vessel to get the work done. I don’t do any of this work on my own. “It’s through the help from South Africa and through the grace of God Almighty,” he said.

DENDALE Hospital staff, Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo and the family of the slain nursing sister Thabisa Daysen Doyisa, paid their last respects at a memorial service for her. Doyisa (46), was shot dead by an assailant using a high calibre shotgun as she arrived at her home last Friday in Naperville. Edendale Hospital CEO, Zanele Ndwandwe, who arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, says she will forever be haunted by the cries of Doyisa’s 11-year-old son who said he felt bad that he could not do anything to save his mother’s life. Ndwandwe described Doyisa as a woman of few words, humble, respectful, honest and an industrious person who always smiled. She said the fact that all hospital components converged for the service shows she was a people’s person. She reminded everyone that Doyisa was the third female nurse who was violently killed in the Umgungundlovu District since the beginning of the year. The CEO said Doyisa was taken in the prime of her life and at the peak of her career. She says the department had invested much in her when she started her career as a student nurse in 1992. Doyisa became an enrolled nursing assistant and underwent comprehensive training for general, psychiatric, community and midwife nursing. In December

Initiative teaches communities about the basics MANY people around the city enjoyed their long weekend taking part in various festivities, but journalist and community activist Jerry Barnes took his community around Panorama back to basics in an educational event. Barnes, in conjunction with Eastwood Clinic, Msunduzi Traffic Department and Gift of Givers joined hands in educating communities from Panorama, Esitimeleni and Jesmondene about road safety and health awareness. Barnes said there are many children from these areas who walk or play on the road. “It is really worrying to see small children playing on the road or walking to tuck shops without their parents. We also get a lot of adults walking on road unsafely because they are under influence of alcohol. On this one there is no need to point fingers, but a platform to educate each other is needed,” said Barnes. Eastwood Clinic staff offered advice about health care and also tested community members for illness. “In areas such as Esitimeleni and Jesmondene (Emikhukhwini) some community members are too old or too sick to walk to the Eastwood Clinic. We also identified children who are in need of vitamins,” said Barnes. Raj from Msunduzi Traffic Department warned children about playing on the road and warned parents about walking on the road after drinking alcohol. “To you my children, it’s a big no, no. You must rather play in the yard at home or in the grounds otherwise you will be exposed to danger. To our uncles, big brothers or sisters, remember that jay walking under the influence of alcohol is not good and is unsafe for everybody.” Gift of the Givers donated soup and personal hygiene packs to community members who attended the event. - Supplied.

The low levels of Midmar Dam this past weekend.

ECHO

Umgeni Water in juggling act >> Levels recorded this week Mearns (26,33%); Spring Grove (81,72%) and Midmar (45,89%)

MGENI Water is juggling the supply of water in dams in the KZN Midlands to ensure they do not reach dead storage levels. Spokesperson Shami Harichunder said to stabilise the level of Midmar Dam, water is being transferred from Mearns and Spring Grove dams into Lions River, from where it makes its way into Midmar Dam. In the upper Umgeni system the following dam levels were recorded this week - Mearns (26,33%); Spring Grove (81,72%) and Midmar (45,89%).

“Although the level of Spring Grove Dam is high, it must be remembered that this is a small dam, compared to Midmar, and its water resource depletes quickly as it fills up.” In the lower Umgeni system, which comprises Albert Falls Dam, Nagle Dam and Inanda Dam, the levels of these dams as of this week were, Albert Falls (33,91%); Nagle (81,35%) and Inanda (77,86%). “The Umgeni system remains of great concern to Umgeni Water. As a result of limited water resources within it, Umgeni Water has begun reducing potable water production by 10% at its water treatment plants and

the municipalities that receive water from this system are applying mandatory water curtailment of 15%. “The restrictions in place are necessary to ensure that Midmar and Albert Fall dams do not reach dead storage - a situation that could have dire consequences for business, industry and domestic users of water. “An estimated four million users and/or consumers ultimately receive water from this system. Projections by Umgeni Water are that if rains do not materialise and demand continues unchanged, both dams could have reached dead storage by end 2016,” he said.

Harichunder said the levels of all of the major dams within the Umgeni Water operational area are still below the levels they had been at a year ago. Harichunder said the water situation in KZN remains of grave concern due to the protracted drought in the province. He said the current situation is being “exacerbated” by high temperatures, which cause evaporation of dam surface water. Rainfall predictions for the next four months, as provided by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), remain unchanged. Information released by the CSIR suggests that a below-average rainfall

pattern is expected to continue until the end of August. “This means that the amount of water currently available in dams that are owned or operated by Umgeni Water will have to be carefully managed in order to ensure that available water lasts until the next good rains arrive. “Management of water resources at times of absence of rainfall and simultaneous reduction of dam levels involves the application of cuts in potable water production at water treatment plants and introduction of restrictions by water services authorities [municipalities],” Harichunder said.

Know your field of study for varsity, pupils advised >> Choosing a career that one likes should not be dictated by parents, teachers or peers, pupils told NQOBILE MTOLO >> nqobile.mtolo@media24.com

T is imperative for pupils to know what field of study interests them and what career they see themselves in. They also need to make sure their academic records affords them such opportunities. This was the highlight at the careers expo held at the community hall in Imbali Unit J. Sizithobile Educare, Isaac Gold Peer Education Programme and Alhidaaya Dawa Network (ADN) joined hands to make the event a success. ADN chairperson, Mxolisi Mncube, said choosing a career that one likes and is well informed about should not be dictated by parents, teachers or peers. “When I enrolled for my third year at the University of KwaZulu-Natal for a science degree I realised it was not what I wanted to do.

‘Ghost delegate’ disrupts ruling party conference SABELO NSELE DISGRUNTLED ANC branches in Harry Gwala have appealed for the party’s regional list conference to be reconvened. The party held the conference on 19 April at the Peace Initiative Hall in Ixopo, to nominate its PR councillor candidates to represent the party in the Harry Gwala Municipality. However, conference delegates said proceedings finished prematurely after provincial secretary Super Zuma apparently refused to the verification of delegates’ credentials at the request of the delegates after a “ghost delegate” was discovered in the venue. The ghost delegate was asked to leave, but delegates wanted all other delegates to be verified, believing more “ghosts” would be discovered. In a letter addressed to the provincial chairperson (dated 22 April), delegates called on the provincial list committee to revoke the legitimacy of the conference. Mzolisi Ndobe, who attended the conference, said delegates had started heckling Zuma when he refused to do the verification.

“Zuma took a decision to declare the conference closed and reiterated that he would take the names appearing in the list as they were to the provincial list committee to decide. “But the conference had not discussed those names and put them to vote. The candidates needed 60% of votes for their names to make it on that final list,” he said. Ndobe also highlighted other issues which arose at the conference. “The branches from Umzimkhulu sub-region in wards 8, 21 and 22 had lodged appeals prior to the conference, and the verdicts had not been finalised. “The branches were allowed to participate although there was an ongoing appeal,” he said. Ndobe said branches also raised concerns about the district list. He said there was evidence that the names that appeared on the district list presented at the conference differed from those reflected in the records of the branch nominations. ANC provincial spokesperson Mdumiseni Ntuli confirmed that the provincial chairperson Sihle Zikalala, received the appeal from the Harry Gwala region.

ly and teachers. By July next year I will finish my law degree,” said Mncube. Msizi Mkhize, the project manager of Sizithobile, said that each pupil that reaches Grade 12 should know what their career of choice entails. He invited representatives from institutions of higher learning to speak to pupils and give them information on what is available to study at their respective institutions. “When some pupils pass matric they don’t know what they will study whereas others do not even know that the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas) exists to ease their financial study burden. Slindile Manzini, project manager of Isaac Gold, said their responsibility is to plant behaviour change when pupils finish matric. “When they go to the next level of their life, they should be focused. They must make the right choices so they can achieve their goals. In Pietermaritzburg we provide mentorship programmes to four high schools - KwaPata, Esiqongweni, Zamazulu and Mehlokazulu. Our programme is an international programme, but due to funding we are unable to expand this to other schools,” said Manzini.

Sobantu youth celebrate Freedom Day NONTETHELELO MZIZI >>nqobile.mtolo@media24.com SOBANTU youth celebrated Freedom Day by taking part in a marathon and aerobics at Ni Stadium, the aim of which was also to promote health awareness in Sobantu. Event organiser, Nelisiswe Madlala, said: “By holding this event we are encouraging the community to live a healthy life, to exercise daily. We are also trying to make a difference in the community by building something that our youth can be known for other than drinking and misbehaving.” The Sobantu club invited elderly community people to come and watch the activities, and included the elderly from Ladysmith and Howick. “Our wish is to hold events like this every year, but we need sponsors to help us to make their wish come true. We are grateful to Thabani Zulu, the director general at the Department of Energy, for giving us a hand. We also thank Red Bull and Umgeni Water for their contribution towards this event,” said Madlala.

Basic needs in poor communities not met TWENTY-TWO years into democracy and yet our people still fight for dignity of having their own home. The government has turned a blind eye to this important basic human right for many South Africans.

The relationship between these socioeconomic conditions basically led to what we have seen lately at Copesville. It is sad that our people have to take to the streets 22 years later for their basic human rights and service delivery issues. A fair society cannot exist without a capable, service-orientated and clean government. All we ask is for basic services to be provided, we are done with empty promises and the only way we can make a change is on 3 August. The City of Cape Town spent 67% of its budget on poor communities. Cape Town is one of the best managed municipalities in South Africa. If you want your city to be well managed, vote for change, everyone deserves access to basic service delivery - vote DA. RENESHA JUGMOHAN Northdale

Consequences of ignoring water leaks serious WE are experiencing the worst drought in decades. Water-saving measures and community awareness via this newspaper have highlighted the seriousness of the problems we face. Msunduzi’s situation is worsened by ongoing mismanagement and corruption that saw infrastructure neglected, an always challenged call centre and a customer service delivery charter (2013-2030) not adhered to. Primary culprit is the New Prison failing to address water leaks due to incapacity. This ineffectiveness is a direct result of the ANC prioritising the deployment of cadres who repeatedly reveal incompetence. The municipality conveniently insulates itself from any liability,

not realising that alert ratepayers know of wastages where leaks were ignored for years, a public pool repeatedly emptied and refilled and leaks in at least two swimming pools not addressed or in the midst of being attended to. Swimming pools close at the end of the month and it is trusted that the millions of litres of precious water will be creatively recycled instead of flushed down the drain pipes. Restriction washers are normally fitted to meters of defaulting consumers to safeguard their constitutional right to water - this is not a time to cry foul but accept the punitive measures as responsible folk who care for the city and the planet.

Municipality’s IZAZISO service delivery charter, a lie Thumela izaziso nezithombe zakho ku dumisani@myecho.co.za Send your notices to Echo or e mail photos to dumisani@myecho.co.za

T is with a sense of exasperation and deep concern that one takes note of the wastage of water due to the poor infrastructure and excessive water leaks in and around the city. How can a resident log a complaint when the call centre is not functioning? The municipality’s messages about the need to save water during this dire drought has been well advertised, but unfortunately, does not seem to be prioritised. Our municipality’s service delivery charter, which states that telephonic calls will be answered within five rings is a blatant lie. Futhermore, the charter states that contact is made with the complainants when left on voicemail (24 hours response to queries) is totally untrue - it does not happen. The charter further states that the turnaround response time to

water bursts must be restored within four hours, failing which water tankers shall be provided and residents informed through the call centre, loud speakers or notices - yet another fallacy. It is obvious that during the past year or warnings, there has been no forward planning to ensure that basic infrastructure was being planned for, despite the DA mentioning this time and time again. We need to implement a computerised water management device to for quick repairs and to detect leaks aiding with reduced consumption as done in the City of Cape Town. The municipality is failing our city drastically and change is needed. Only you can save our city with your vote. NALENI NAIDOO Via email

Misuse of municipal resources a concern AT 7.30pm on April 15, an Mpofana municipal employee was seen and heard driving through Tendele village loud-haling an invitation to the community to attend a meeting at Dabulamanzi Combined School the following day at 10am, so they can be introduced to the candidate for the local government elections on 3 August. As a DA candidate in the election, I was not informed of this meeting, so I understand it to be an ANC meeting at the school. After 22 years of rule, the ANC continues to flaunt legislation by using municipal property for political party purposes. In the interest of clean govern-

ance and councillors’ oversight responsibilities, I have requested the municipal manager to investigate and report back to me as to who authorised this municipal employee to use a municipal vehicle for political party purposes. Will the employee claim and be paid overtime at ratepayers’ expense and is it acceptable for a school to be used for a political activity? To date, no answer has been received from the municipal manager. COUNCILLOR NHLALAYENZA NDLOVU DA PR councillor Mpofana

Copesville unrest reflects on ruling party THE unrest in Copesville and the torching of a much needed clinic which was struggled for, has exposed the ANC’s intransigence to the valid concerns of an impoverished community. The internal factionalism and power struggles resulted in our people being the casualty. Simply, the ANC has no time for the public in need of long overdue service delivery and this unacceptable attitude is, to put it mildly, an insult, 21 years into our democracy. Casualties also echo the vacuum in the ruling party for there is a lack of strong leadership Zuma’s weak leadership aggravates the sufferings in Copesville; the local cadres under the president’s umbrella merely prioritise party ahead of people and worsen poverty, resulting in anger. Despite the unrest sounding the dissatisfaction of the people, it is business as usual in the ivory towers of the city hall. Nothing has changed for the struggling people in Copesville since the 2014 uprising. The identical response is exploited by the ANC, where officials are dispatched to placate the irate community. Under the DA, Msunduzi will benefit from strong interactive leadership where communities will not be neglected; a sense of belonging, empathy and trust will always be prioritised ahead of corruption and general malfeasance witnessed in the city. The Copesville tragedy now gives the electorate another good reason to punish the ANC at the ballot box. It’s only our residents that can save our City of Choice from falling apart. MERGAN K CHETTY, MP Msunduzi mayoral candidate

St Charles hosts busy family fun day F

REEDOM Day was all about family for the St Charles College Preparatory School. The morning was busy with various activities taking place for the pre-primary, junior primary, senior primary and parents. The Scrummies boys and their families took part in an “amazing race”. The junior primary boys had fun football fixtures where they wore their favourite football

team’s jersey. The senior primary kicked things off with an inter-house cross-country race, and then took part in a football festival. Parents also took part in the parents’ hockey on the astro. The Grade 7 parents worked hard making and selling food to satisfy the hungry crowds. It was a fun-filled day, with the idea of family being at the centre of it all.

St Charles rugby player aims for the stars >> St Charles’ 1st XV rugby player Sibusiso Mkhize hopes to emulate Zimbabweanborn Pocock BRAD MORGAN St Charles College star Sibusiso Mkhize dreams of following in the footsteps of Free State Cheetahs fetcher Heinrich Brussouw. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Name: Sibusiso Mkhize Age: 18 Sport: rugby Ambition: to play provincial rugby ST Charles’s 1st XV rugby player Sibusiso Mkhize is proof that with the right attitude and given an opportunity, children from disadvantaged backgrounds can excel. Sibusiso attends St Charles College on a Jolivet Legacy Award, which is offered to boys who ordinarily would not have access to an independent school education to attend St Charles College. Rugby for the 1st XV flanker began at the age of nine in the Ashdown township. His mother, concerned for her son’s health in the rugged game, discouraged him at first, but that soon changed. “As time went by and I sneaked off to play rugby and was enjoying it, she saw me improving and she liked that.” His talent and ability was soon recognised and he was rewarded with selection to the Pietermaritzburg Districts team. “My game kept growing after that,” Sibusiso smiled.

Being offered a place at St Charles was life-changing, he said. “It was like a dream come true to me. When I first came to St Charles, I was concerned about there being a new dynamic to deal with, but my first day here I was warmly welcomed. It was exciting. Even today, I can’t say there is ever a boring day.” In 2014, Sibusiso made his debut for the first team. That same season he played in a match he will never forget, he said. “We lost 21-22 to Hilton College. However, I was really impressed by the way we played. From the start to the finish, everyone gave their best. Afterwards, everyone was cramping up. That was a rugby game!” A ball-winning flank, Sibusiso is stocky and on the short side. Therefore it shouldn’t come as any surprise that he names Heinrich Brussouw as one of his role models. His favourite player, however, is Zimbabwean-born Australian international David Pocock. “I’m a specialist. I believe what David Pocock can do, I can also do. I want to master it. That’s my main aim.”

Iqembu lasemzansi alizibekile phansi JERRY BARNES UMQEQESHI weqembu lesizwe labafana abaneminyaka engaphansi kwamashumi amabili nantathu (SAU23 team) uOwen Da Gama akafuni ukuthatha amashansi ngokuhlala phansi angenzi lutho kodwa ufuna leliqembu lihlale libukhali ngokuzicija nangokudlala imidlalo yesihle esezingeni eliphezulu.

Kanti amaJaphane (Japan) yona ikuGroup B namazwe afana noSweden Colombia neNigeria. Kanti lemidlalo yamaOlympics iyoqala ngoAugust 3 ize iyophothulwa ngo August 20.

uSafa ngokuhlela imidlalo yesihle namazwe afana neJapan ngoba bafuna ukuthi bethi beya eRio bebe sebedlale imidlalo embalwa. “Ngiyabonga kakhulu kuSafa ngoba phela nathi sifuna sithi sifika kumaOlympics eRio sesithe ukuzwana amandla kaningana namanye amazwe. Lokho kuzosiza abafana ukuthi bahlale becijile futhi bakwazi abazobheka nakho kumaOlympics.” Kanti uMongameli weSafa uDanny Jordaan uthe ukudlala neJapan ukufezwa kwezethembiso ezenziwa yinhlangano yakhe nalapho yathi bazoxhasa umqeqeshi neqembu lakhe ngakhokonke abakudingayo ukuze baye eRio bekulungele futhi beqonde njengothi lomkhonto. “Sasivele sishilo ukuthi siyozama ngayoyonke indlela ukuxhasa noma ukusiza nangoma ngayiphi indlela ikakhulukazi ukuhlela imidlalo yesihle ukuze bahlale besesimweni esihle. Phela bakwethu kufanele singakhohlwa wukuthi yibo futhi labafana abayobe sebedlalela iBafana Bafana kusasa, futhi amaphupho ethu eVision 2022 azofezwa yibona,”kusho uJordaan.

Like Brussouw, Sibusiso wants to play his rugby in the Free State. “I believe Free State has everything that you need as a young player. The universities are good-quality institutions,” he explained. Looking towards his tertiary education, he added: “I’ve got a dream to be a lawyer, but teaching is my thing. I like giving back to society. I would like my future to include teaching kids. I would like to focus on PE and the sports side of things.” Before then, however, Sibusiso said he will continue to enjoy his time at St Charles: “I’m in the boarding establishment and the boarders are the heartbeat of St Charles. The way the boys believe that things can happen is different. We are optimistic. The way we play comes from our belief. I believe if the 470 boys of St Charles come together as one, we can achieve anything and be amazing.” That’s a sentiment that relies on every individual and in Sibusiso, St Charles has a young man who has shown that dreams can be turned into reality.

Court case Sasfa challenges Safa ON 26 April South African Schools’ Football Associa tion (Sasfa) challenged South African Football Asso ciation’s (Safa) decision of 29 March, 2015 and 26 September, 2015, respectively to withdraw its recogni tion of Sasfa, and to withdraw Safa’s mandate to Sasfa to administer schools’ football in the country. The matter was heard by acting judge, Justice Nkosi. At the commencement of the hearing, Sasfa with drew the relief which sought to declare the Safa deci sions aforementioned, unlawful. The matter was thus argued only in relation to Sasfa’s claim that the al leged dispute between Sasfa and Safa arising from the aforesaid decisions, be referred to independent ar bitration. In relation to the merits, Safa contended that its statutes authorised it to withdraw its recognition of Sasfa, and to terminate Sasfa’s mandate to adminis ter schools’ football. Safa’s authority to do so was not contested by Sasfa. Sasfa’s main claim was that there was allegedly an agreement reached prior to the 29 March, 2015 meeting that the matter would be held in abeyance for 21 days. However, Safa pointed out that Sasfa was repre sented in the meeting on 29 March, 2015, and that the Sasfa representative did not object to the passing of the resolution, and in fact did not vote against it. The rationale for Safa taking over the administra tion of schools’ football is that Sasfa administers schools’ football only for some 3 000 in knockout competitions, and does not administer schools for the 27 000 throughout the country. Safa was thus required by the Department of Sport and Recreation SA to take over the running of schools’ football throughout the country. In relation to the request for arbitration, Safa and Sasfa had agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, but when it came before the independent arbitrator in September 2015, Sasfa objected to the appoint ment of the arbitrator, insisting that the parties must agree on the name of the arbitrator. Accordingly, the arbitration did not take place, and Safa’s offer to arbitrate the alleged dispute expired. In regard to Sasfa’s press release that certain concessions were made by Safa’s counsel during the hearing, Safa rejects these contentions not only because they are inappropriate given that the matter is pending before a court of law, but also because it is entirely incorrect. Sasfa, in its founding affidavit, had alleged that Safa had “dissolved Sasfa”. What Safa’s counsel pointed out was that Safa had not been dissolved, but had its recognition withdrawn by Safa, and that ac cordingly Sasfa may continue to exist as an entity. We wish to point out that Safa’s decisions aforementioned take effect immediately, and that accordingly, since 26 September, 2015, Safa administers all schools’ football. Supplied.

From 10 to 16 July, the Caluza Sports Complex will host a table tennis compe tition.

NQOBILE MTOLO >>nqobile.mtolo@media24.com PIETERMARITZBURG will host a national table tennis competition from 10 to 16 July at the Caluza Sports Complex and about 700 people are expected to attend. The vice-chairperson of the South African Table Tennis uMgungundlovu branch, Sandy Naidoo, said they are expecting 400 participants to compete. “We anticipate 12 regions taking part from South Africa. We are also expecting African countries to participate in the singles event. Approximately 400 participants are expected to participate. “There are two sections to the tournament. Team events are boys and girls U13, U15 and U18, as well as senior men and women. The second section is the open event. It includes boys and girls U13, U15, U18, the senior men and women singles teams. All these divisions also include doubles and mixed doubles,” explained Naidoo. The competition has already been hosted twice in Pietermaritzburg. In 2005 it took place at Epworth School sports complex and in 2008 it took place at the YMCA. “In terms of the tournament taking place in Pietermaritzburg it will be a good way for the city’s finances to blossom. “Tourists will be visiting places in Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas, and that will boost the economy,” said Naidoo. She hopes that the Caluza community and nearby communities will participate in future table tennis competitions as they becomeBARNES more familiar with the sport.

A win against the visiting Tuks will also mean moving away from the relegation zone or last position for the first time in the season. Last weekend the PMB outfit bowed out of the Nedbank Cup after going down 2-0 to Mpumalanga Black Aces away. Team of Choice communications manager Brian Zuma says their match against the Pretoria visitors will be a six pointer and he can’t imagine themselves faltering. “It is unfortunate that we lost 2-0 to Aces Find us on we really during the Nedbank Cup because Facebook wanted to advance to the next round. Our priority is the PSL status and on Saturday ECHO will be the D-Day for us. “In fact this clash will be treated like a final by both teams.

T may look impossible and may be unlikely for the local PSL outfit Maritzburg United to pull themselves out of the dreaded relegation axe at the 11th hour, but as they say anything is possible in South African soccer. Last weekend, Pmb United found themselves in a sticky situation and may find it impossible to remain in the elite league next season, after they went down 2-1 to SuperSport United at Harry Gwala Stadium. For the home side it was deja vu. They scored first but threw it away in the later stages of the game. To make matters worse, second from the bottom (15th position) Jomo Cosmos were able to register the much needed 1-0 win against University of Pretoria. Team of Choice head coach Ernst Middendorp looked frustrated, and ran out of ideas and words after the game when his side lost another home fixture. Middendorp blamed his side’s 2-1 loss on Friday evening to the unsportsmanlike behaviour of SuperSport United players.The Team of Choice had led 1-0 at halftime, but two goals in 90 seconds after the break saw Matsatsantsa

emerge 2-1 winners. However, the Team of Choice coach felt the first goal scored by SuperSport United’s Bradley Grobler should never have happened as the visitors played on when the hosts had a man injured on the field. United’s publicist Brian Zuma says the entire team is not going to give up until the final day. Zuma strongly feels that the Team of Choice will be still campaigning in the elite league in the new season and also confirms that they are not looking for excuses. “To be honest, we have to blame ourselves for this. However, we have a bunch of soldiers who are prepared to fight till the blood in their veins run no more. This team will not be relegated,”said Zuma. On Saturday the Team of Choice will travel to Orlando Stadium to face Orlando Pirates (8.15pm).
