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.

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 avoid the ‘silliness’ that comes with the season.

As we get ready to wind down and take a breath­ er, we decided to reflect on some of the wonderful 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.

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.

The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli­ ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea­ son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

No chairs, no desks at Siqongweni >> School is short of 300 chairs and desks, principal says the situation is out of control NQOBILE MTOLO >>nqobile.mtolo@media24.com

T

HE theft of chairs and desks at Siqongweni Secondary School in Imbali Unit 13 has forced pupils to fight for chairs in class while others have to stand for lessons.

Maritzburg Echo reporter visited the school and in one classroom pupils were seated on old tables that were used for woodwork, which used to be a subject on the school curriculum.

Out of a group of 35, only five pupils had chairs and there were only 11 desks for the entire group. This is the scenario faced by each classroom at Siqongweni because the school is short of 300 chairs and desks.

The thugs who steal from the school climb onto the roof to get inside, thereby damaging the ceiling, and then they steal school equipment. The desks and chairs have allegedly been seen in township taverns and residential homes.

School principal, Johannes Dlamini, said the situation is already out of control.

Not only do many pupils not have chairs or desks, they also don’t have the opportunity of learning computer skills because some years ago the Department of Communication donated 22 computers to the school, but these have also been stolen, which has resulted in the school not offering computer training.

“We are waiting for allocation of

funds around April and May. We have to buy chairs, but they will steal them again. We alert the police about the theft, but we are not winning. I ask businesses to buy chairs and donate them to the school,” he said.

The situation is worse during exams and pupils take turns to sit to write exams because they are normal-

ly divided into morning and afternoon groups.

The morning session is for Grade 8 and Grade 9 pupils and the afternoon session is for Grade 10 and Grade 11 pupils.

“Pupils at the school come from informal areas around Imbali - Imbali Phase Four, France, KwaNyamazane

and Mantshaheni. Our pupils are missing out on a lot. Printers have also been stolen and the school is not well resourced,” said Dlamini.

He appealed to the public to report to the school should they see school chairs and school desks being used outside the school.

“We need help with chairs. Even if

they are second-hand chairs, we do not mind. What makes us happy is that through all these challenges, our pupils are eager to learn because they still come to school and our teachers and staff are more than dedicated to take the pupils to the next level in education,” he said.

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education spokesperson Sihle Mlotshwa said since schools are public institutions, the public is responsible for looking after them.

“Schools are essentially public institutions and it is equally the responsibility of the public to ensure that our schools are safe.

“It goes without saying that these incidents worry us as a department.

As much as we provide schools with security guards within a limited budget, we do not believe that security guards are a panacea to all the problems of safety in our schools, hence we say that school safety should be the responsibility of everyone,” he said.

Take ARVs and holy water ­ health dept AFTER learning that an Ixopo church was using “holy water” to treat the sick, the health department have encouraged parishioners to take their ARVs with the blessed water.

KZN Health MEC Sibongiseni Dhlomo visited the St Faith’s Apostolic Faith Mission Church in Jolivet, in rural areas of Ixopo, to thank the church for encouraging its sick parishioners to attend a nearby Jolivet Clinic.

A nurse in the area, Silindile Khumalo, informed the MEC that next to the clinic was a church with a faith healer who used holy water to heal sick people.

She said the healer was very powerful and that people have absolute trust in his prowess.

It is believed that sick people would prioritise the church and its holy water and only present themselves to the clinic at a stage when they were critically ill.

The faith healer, Priest Nhlanhla Nzimande, confirmed what had been taking place. He also asked the health department to approve having the Jolivet Clinic operating on a 24-hour basis.

“Yes, people do come to the church sick, at all hours needing to be healed. Because of the good relationship we have with the nurses, we do refer some to the clinic and when they return with medication, we pray those patients use our holy water to take the medication.”

Khumalo said the relationship between the church and the clinic changed the disease complexion of the area. - Supplied.

Club hosts Harry Gwala Wheels and Runners >> Event is a wheelchair race and fun walk­run starting from Imbali crossing

Five percent water cut for PMB by next week on the cards AMIL UMRAW

HE Msunduzi Disabled Club will be hosting the Harry Gwala Wheels and Runner event, which is a wheelchair race and fun

walk-run on 15 May starting from the Imbali crossing to Wadley Stadium on the old Edendale road.

Club chairman, Lucky Bhuwane, said this year children aged between eight and 12 will participate in a two-kilometre race.

“We are excited about hosting the race for the second time. We hosted the first Harry Gwala Wheels and Runners event in 2013, which had a great turnout.

“Next year we plan to have a 15km wheelchair race, a 21km race and a fun run for the elderly,” said Bhuwane.

He said there will be lots of prizes, and winners will receive trophys.

Fee for participating in the Harry Gwala Wheels and Runners is R70 for the 10km race, R50 for five

kilometre and the children’s two kilometre race is R20.

Bhuwane is appealing for sponsorship from businesses and residents for the event, saying their contribution will make the event a worthwhile experience for participants.

“Msunduzi Disabled Club was started in 2013 and was officially registered in 2014.

“We currently have 30 members from Mandeni, Pietermaritzburg and Imbali.

“Our goals are to have more members from different areas and also to compete in international wheelchair races,” he said.

For more information about the event, contact Sandile Luvuno on 073 161 8961.

IT may be double the trouble for drought-stricken Pietermaritzburg residents if a decision is made to cut the water supply by another five percent.

A joint operations committee meeting to be held on Friday, involving all municipalities and water service authorities affected by Midmar Dam, may impose a second water reduction of five percent, bringing the total water cut for Pietermaritzburg to 10%.

If the decision is passed, the reduction may be implemented as early as next week.

This is according to the Msunduzi municipality’s process manager for water and sanitation, Brendan Sivpersad, who recently said the decision would be based on the performance of all major consumers in conserving water, after which a net effect is determined for the water supply.

“We as a municipality have been saving water, but there is room for improvement. We are trying to do our part and residents are also becoming more aware of water conservation, but we still urge everyone to tighten their belts,” Sivpersad said.

“We could be given five percent less water by as early as next week. There is a very good possibility of this happening.”

Sivpersad said with the barren period of winter looming, water authorities would have to make difficult decisions now so consumers would have water in the latter part of this year.

The decision would be made by the Department of Water and Sanitation, based on projections of water use and current conservation results.

“We will be cut off at the source.

Before, the onus was on us water users to reduce our consumption by 15%.

But now, as a directive, the department will cut our water by five percent at a time if nothing changes, until the 15% mark is reached,” Sivpersad said.

According to a report by the South African Development Community released on Friday, the drought is widespread and affects other countries in Africa, including Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar, Angola and Zambia.

“The low rainfall in these areas, combined with high temperatures, negatively affected crop conditions, leading to moisture stress and wilting,” the report said.

Salon visit leaves ECHO 3 woman temporarily blind maritzburg

>> ‘Liquid mixed with dye might have caused allergic reaction’ NQOBILE MTOLO >>nqobile.mtolo@media24.com

ONHLANHLA Ndlovu’s recent trip to a salon to dye her hair turned to a disaster, resulting in her breaking out in a rash and her waking up to her eyes stuck closed for a few days.

Ndlovu, from Imbali Unit BB, said she will never again set foot inside a salon after experiencing this ordeal.

Although she has since recovered after receiving medical attention, Ndlovu urged women and men who visit salons to be careful of those who use “illegitimate” and “unlicenced” beauty products.

“On Saturday I went to a salon to have my hair dyed. The following day when I woke up both my eyes were swollen and I could barely see a thing. I rushed to a nearby clinic and they gave me medication to flush out the toxins

from my system.

“That helped my sight improve a bit, but three days later I broke out in a rash on my chest and neck.”

Noticing that her health was compromised, she sought further medical attention.

“I went to the doctor and who told me my right eye was damaged from the inside. The doctor gave me medication to alleviate the symptoms and that helped a lot.

“I also noticed there was a tumour on my head and I was afraid that if I left everything unattended to, the situation could have worsen.”

Ndlovu said that dyeing hair was not the first time.

“I have dyed my hair before but never had such a terrible reaction.

“The products they used were not good for my hair,” said Ndlovu.

She claims the clear liquid mixed with the hair dye might have caused the allergic reaction.

Taking part in the workshop (from left) Bishop Dino Gabriel, Dean John Witcombe (Coventry Cathedral), Phila Myandu and Elaine Smallbones ANGLICAN maths teachers in KwaZulu­Natal have re­ sponded to a challenge for churches to become involved in education and are conducting free work­ shops for teachers from all churches and faiths.

Elaine Smallbones said Professor Mary Metcalfe, a former Gauteng MEC for Education, issued the challenge in 2013.

“Subsequently our Diocesan Education Conference tasked Phila Myandu, Phatisizwe Mahla­ bela and me with finding a way to assist maths teach­ ers. The workshops were developed with the help of other maths teachers and the first one worked so well that we have scheduled two this month and two more next month,” said Smallbones.

The workshops this month take place on Saturday 16 April and Saturday 23 April and will address geometry: construction, properties and problem­ solving. Although the focus will be on Grade 7 to Grade 9, maths teachers of all grades will be welcome, said Smallbones.

The workshops will run from 8am to 12.3 pm and the one on 16 April will take place at the Cathedral of the Holy Nativity in Pietermaritzburg.

“The times are the same for the following week, but the workshop will be held at St Paul’s Church, opposite the post office in Durban.

Presentations will be hosted by experienced subject advisers and teachers and based on the current Caps curriculum.

HE OTT (Over The Top) Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business (PCB) Enterprise Relay, Maritzburg’s zaniest event of the year, will be taking place on 22 April at the Royal Showgrounds.

The PCB is delighted to be partnering with CK Water and Energy Drinks, Daymed Private Hospital and the Maritzburg Fever to bring you the 2016 edition of the PCB OTT Enterprise Relay.

“The event was created because so many companies asked us to consider developing an inter-company relay like the old Stannic Relay.

Much thought went into how we could put together a fun networking and team event that was not a serious running event, but that incorporated an element of fun and brought businesses together in a relaxed environment, and the OTT relay was born,” said Melanie Veness, PCB CEO. This will be the fifth instalment of the event which has grown in popularity as far as entrants and attendance are concerned with over 100 teams and more than 1 000 people on site last year despite the weather.

“It’s because of this unique ability to attract rain in July that we have decided to move the event to a sunnier date and you will notice that it is now taking place in April,” said Veness.

Entries are already pouring in for this “not-at-all-serious” corporate relay.

“Along the route you might be charged one braaied chop to release you from prison or you might be expected to do the funky chicken, but be assured that you’ll be laughing hysterically,” said Veness.

The event is designed to bring business entities together and to build inter-company relationships as well as to enhance team morale. Participants are encouraged to bring their children and since the event is most definitely not about winning the fabulous prizes are awarded by lucky draw.

Once your team of six has completed the outlandish scamper, you are encouraged to braai at a corporate stand around the main arena at the showgrounds. To book a team for the PCB OTT contact Lorna Jones at 033 345 2747 or email func tion@pcb.org.za - Supplied.

‘Arrest imminent’ in nurse’s murder

From tears to laughter, theatre lovers can look forward to four plays at the Ashdown community hall.

THE funeral for Grey’s Hospital nurse Sindisiwe Shelembe, who was shot and killed on her way to work last Thursday, will be held on Sunday.

Her brother, Graham Shelembe, said her funeral would be held at her home.

Shelembe was driving from Howick down the N3 at Townhill, to work the night shift, when she was shot in the head through the car window.

Grey’s Hospital spokesperson Zamo Mntungwa said they would hold a memo­ rial service at the hospital’s chapel today.

Mntungwa said Shelembe had worked as a nurse at Grey’s Hospital for seven years, and had been a neonatal nurse.

Cosatu slams religious leaders A COSATU KwaZulu-Natal committee member has criticised church leaders, telling them to attend to church matters and to refrain from participating in politics.

On Saturday Zimasile Giyama was one of the speakers at the funeral service of Siyabonga Majola, an ANC activist who was touted as a possible councillor in Sobantu, Pietermaritzburg.

Giyama told a packed stadium in Sobantu that the trade union federation had more pressing issues than the Nkandla matter.

“Our advice to religious leaders is … not [to] enter the political terrain if you do not have the stomach for it.”

This was in reference to church leaders who had sought an audience with the ANC top brass pleading for Jacob Zuma to step down as president Speaking to Echo Siyabonga’s brother Nhlanhleni Majola expressed his gratitude to those who were with the family from the time of his brother’s death up to his burial. “We thank the Pietermaritzburg community, the ANC, friends, relatives, bikers and car spinners.” - News24.

The road between Durban and Cedera is due for upgrades involving billions of rands.

>> During the 2014/15 financial year, 223 contracts worth R14.4 billion were awarded

B

ILLIONS of rands are being poured into upgrading KwaZulu-Natal’s road network, with current investment in construction totalling R8.3 billion and R15 billion earmarked for the upgrading of the N3 from Durban to Cedara outside Pietermaritzburg.

On the N2 North Coast between Mtunzini and Mtubatuba, R1,4 billion will be spent widening the road from Mtunzini to Empangeni and to build interchanges at Eteza and Kwabhoboza.

Giving an overview of the major projects that the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) is embarking on in KZN, Logashri Sewnarain, Sanral’s Eastern Region manager, told stakeholders at a breakfast briefing in Pietermaritzburg that the agency was the engine room for infrastructure development and economic empowerment in the province.

She said during the 2014/15 financial year, 223 contracts worth R14.4 billion were awarded. A total of R2.9 billion was spent on SMMEs, with more than R1.7 billion going to 765 blackowned enterprises.

Training was given to 4064 people, of which 1694 were female, and 175 woman-owned construction companies were involved.

Sewnarain said several Sanral projects had won awards for excellence in construction, including the Chota Motala interchange, the Umgeni interchange, the KwaMashu interchange, Tshelimnyama pedestrian bridge and the Blackburn pedestrian bridge.

She said on the N3 between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, which is located within the Primary Growth Corridor identified in terms of the provincial spatial economic development strategy, major upgrading and realignment will be undertaken.

The road which carries up to 120 000 vehicles per day and in excess of 40 million tons of freight per annum, is coming under severe strain because of the high volume of heavy vehicles, steep gradients and limited capacity at specific locations.

“The importance of the Durban-Free StateGauteng Freight Corridor has been reinforced by the country’s New Growth Path, National Development Plan and National Infrastructure Plan and has been prioritised for accelerated implementation in terms of the Strategic Integrated Projects to ensure capacity meets future demands.

“The project’s goal is to transform the economic landscape, create new jobs and strengthen delivery of basic services while tying up with port upgrade plans.”

Sewnarain said the N3 will see two and three lanes being added, resulting in an eight to 10lane freeway over a distance of 84 kilometres.

There will be upgrading of 27 interchanges

and 95 underpass-overpass bridges will need to be upgraded.

A ring road around Pietermaritzburg is also being investigated, as is a tunnel at Townhill.

The Key Ridge stretch of the N3 will be realigned to reduce steep grades.

Preliminary designs have been completed and the detailed designs are being undertaken.

Land acquisition and the environmental impact study have commenced.

Sewnarain said Sanral fully supports the Decade of Action for Road Safety call by the Commission of Global Road Safety, and endorsed by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration.

Intended to curb carnage on the roads, the campaign was officially launched in May 2011, and has the primary goal of reducing road deaths by half by 2020.

She said Sanral has developed a tool, Netsafe, which assesses and quantifies road safety risk as a function of specific road features and the road environment. Sanral is also implementing various measures to reduce the chances of a serious injury or death resulting from road crashes.

Sanral has also, since inception, recognised that environmental management is an integral component of road infrastructure development and road management.

“A sustainable road network that meets the requirements of the people and the environment and the economy requires basic planning and innovation,” Sewnarain said.

She added there are no plans to introduce new tolls in KZN or e-tolling as in Gauteng.

“In Gauteng, we upgraded the road network and since it is a multi-lane free flow tolling system, gantries were erected to record the passage of vehicles and the transactions.

“This is not what is proposed for KZN where road users will have the choice between using manual lanes or automated lanes where the toll fee will be the same,” she said.

KZN MEC for Transport Willies Mchunu and KZN MEC for Economic Development Mike Mabuyakhulu welcomed the new automated Shesha lane at toll plazas as it saved time and did not incur any additional toll fees.

Mchunu said: “We had been properly informed by Sanral about the Shesha lane and we decided we cannot object because the lane adds choice.

“However, we stated that no further changes must be made at tolls without consultation.

We discussed e-tolls and said that whatever happens in Gauteng must not be imported into KZN. “If there are issues, they must be discussed with us.”

Horrific taxi crash kills seven

>> ‘I thought I was living my last day when I saw the taxi flying straight at me’

Rescue personnel at the scene of the crash where a taxi lost control travelling down Sweetwaters Road, smashing into a car before it rolled, killing seven passengers on Monday.

CHELSEA PIETERSE

S

CREAMING for help, frantic taxi passengers tried to climb out of a run-away taxi’s windows moments before it crashed in Sweetwaters Road on Monday morning, killing six people instantly.

Another passenger was pronounced dead on Monday afternoon in a Pietermaritzburg hospital.

It is believed the taxi’s brakes failed, causing it to speed uncontrollably down Sweetwaters Road, narrowly missing the car a mother and her small daughter were travelling in before colliding with another car and overturning, landing on a verge on Linwood Drive.

The taxi was carrying 16 passengers.

Police cars, ambulances and fire trucks swarmed around the twisted frame of the taxi as injured commuters lay moaning and wailing between six dead bodies, thrown from the taxi when it collided with the car and rolled.

With silver foil blankets covering the bodies strewn across the road and verge, emergency services worked frantically to stabilise the other 10 injured passengers, rushing them to various hospitals in Pietermaritzburg.

Linwood Drive resident Thuli Msomi was leaving for work when she saw the taxi speeding towards her.

“I thought I was living my last day when I saw the taxi flying straight at me,” said Msomi.

“I saw the speed it was coming towards me at and thought that was it.

“I felt the taxi hit my car and I heard the crash.

I only realised I was still alive when a man came and knocked on my window and asked if I was okay,” she said.

“I saw bodies flying through the air and when I got out of the car, what I saw was unexplainable.

Thuli Msomi escaped the horrific taxi crash that killed seven people yester­ day morning with a bruised arm.

“I was in such shock, I could not believe I was alive and I am lucky my children still have a mother,” she said.

Msomi said she got out of her car in a daze, running back to her house down the road, screaming and shaking when she saw her three children.

Msomi’s son, Wandile, said when his mom ran back into the house, she was in hysterics.

“We all just hugged her and tried to calm her down and when we went outside we saw bodies and people crying everywhere.”

Msomi said it was a miracle that she made it out of an accident where seven people died with only a bruised wrist.

Mother and Pietermaritzburg resident Melissa Fawell said the speeding taxi missed her car by centimetres.

“It was horrific. I had my two-year-old daughter in the car with me when I looked at my rear-view mirror and saw the taxi speeding towards me.

“I managed to swerve to the left, and I could see he [the driver] tried to swerve to the right before driving over the island and into Linwood Drive.

“It looked as if his brakes had failed further up the hill and people were hanging out of the window, screaming, trying to escape.

“I saw it take the front off a car in Linwood Drive and when it crashed, people went flying and there was just crying and screaming.

“It was like a movie. If the taxi hit me, if I hadn’t swerved, my daughter would be dead, and I probably would be too,” she said.

Pietermaritzburg police spokesperson Sergeant Mthokozisi Ngobese said the driver had been arrested on a charge of culpable homicide and an investigation into how the accident occurred was underway.

Malema not blemish­free Insult to our democracy

P

RESIDENT Jacob Zuma’s response to the Constitutional Court ruling and his dismal apology to the nation for the Nkandla saga will be recorded in history as an insult to our democracy.

The president showed no remorse for his actions. His lengthy prepared speech was simply frail extenuating circumstances for his years of arrogance and deceit. As committed South Africans will recall, it was Zuma who made fun every time Nkandla was questioned. He is on record as stating that only clever blacks worried about Nkandla.

Blade Nzimande added that Nkandla was a white man’s problem. Aside from Nzimande, ministers delivered hogwash reports to defend their salaries while the NEC remained weak-willed throughout the Nkandla narrative.

It was always asserted by the ANC that the ANC is more impor-

tant than the Constitution; no political force can destroy the ANC — it is only the ANC that can destroy itself. The Constitution is only there to regulate matters. This ultimate quote surfaces when it comes to the Constitution and the ANC’s attitude towards it. Zuma displayed this to the nation and the world on 1 April. The DA must be applauded for demanding via Parliament and the courts that it was more than enough that Zuma helped himself too. The DA has thrashed Zuma via the judiciary for it was the same Zuma, who not so long ago, asserted with a giggle: “You have fewer rights because you are in the minority. Absolutely, that’s how democracy works.”

Mr President, you and the ANC have repeatedly displayed that you are ignorant of the fact that with rights go responsibilities.

Why? I HEARD that the two-year-old I met yesterday in that candy shop was buying his last pack of sweets due to terminal cancer I heard that the 10-year-old girl living next door that we buried yesterday had dreams of meeting her favourite Disney characters but couldn’t due to heart failure I heard that those twins that blessed our screens singing on that gospel show died on an accident on their way home I heard that my friend of 10 years left a suicide note because depression got the better of him I also heard that Adalia Rose, Ontlametse Phalatse and many others

couldn’t and some won’t become kings and queens of this world Why? Why does Progeria have to take the little lives of our future guardians?

Why does cancer have to take the little lives of our future talents?

Why does mental illness have to be fatal on our brothers and sisters?

Let us love these children, care for them and show them no disease fatal or not can take away the bond we share, the fond memories we create& the brave hearts they present to the world.

EFF leader Julius Malema has become the toast of the nation after the Constitutional Court ruled against President Jacob Zuma and Parliament last Thursday.

Further plaudits flowed his way after he graduated with a bachelor’s degree, and deservedly so.

But let the nation not forget that

this is also the Malema of On-Point Engineering, which was blacklisted by the Treasury from doing business with the state for five years after securing a R52 million tender in questionable circumstances.

This is also the Malema who racked up a R16 million tax bill on a R30 000 a month salary.

Malema has done well to follow the Nkandla matter all the way to the Constitutional Court, but let us not pretend that his rise to becoming a member of Parliament has been blemish-free.

Murdered teacher a wonderful soul IT is an absolute tragedy that such a wonderful soul has been taken so abruptly.

Mrs S. Moodley was a wonderful person in so many ways. She had a heart greater than gold. She was an honest and loving woman who had the strength to push through her toughest times.

A former teacher at Springhaven Primary School, she was not just my Grade 1 teacher but a mother to me.

She never treated any of her pupils like they were just a job but she treated each one of us as if we were her very own.

Years later, when I would meet her at a supermarket or shopping mall, she would always ask how I was doing and be so proud to hear how I had excelled.

I remember when I told her I had got married, she was as proud as my own mother.

It’s honestly a tragic end to such an amazing woman. A woman of integrity honesty and love, and above all an amazing teacher. May you rest in peace my beloved teacher.

You will be missed by not only your family and friends but all your pupils.

I pray that your family find the strength to get through this difficult time. May your memory live forever.

Pele’s memorabilia to be auctioned WORLD soccer icon Pele is putting some 2 000 items up for auction, including his three World Cup gold medals and a one of a kind, a Jules Rimet Trophy that would fetch up to $1 million.

Pele, the world’s greatest footballer of all time, is offering to the public his career memorabilia at Julien’s Auction in London. Sports collectors

and investors will purchase these items and display them in their glass cabinets or keep them in a bank vault and only a select few will be able to view these items.

The Pele memorabilia is part and parcel of Brazilian heritage, history and culture. Brazil must take full ownership, and display Pele’s memorabilia in a museum in Rio de Janeiro,

Time for a bold move in municipality IN recent weeks, alleged maladministra­ tion has seen Msunduzi Municipality senior officials being suspended.

The impact of this has a negative influence on the management of the city’s affairs to the detriment of ratepayers. The MEC for Cogta, Nomusa Dube, informed the city of her investigation into the affairs of the municipality, the SIU swooped on the city, then the R8,5 million overpayment to

a local security company was exposed.

In the latest saga, acting municipal manager, Boniwe Zulu, has allegedly moved to suspend the internal audit head.

This involved driving through the streets and blocking the vehicle of Petrus Mahlaba, who refused to accept the suspension letter in traffic.

Dube initiated the investigation that in­ fluenced the suspension of Mxolisi Nkosi.

which would stay in Brazil for posterity.

All monies generated must go to charities and soccer development.

Brazil is hosting the 2016 summer Olympic games in July - what an opportune time to show off to the world - Pele’s soccer collection.

DEENA PADAYACHEE Hayfields

Ratepayers are further compromised by the internal divisions and conspicuous fac­ tionalism within the ANC, which holds the majority seats in this struggling municipali­ ty.

It is now time for Dube to take the bold move, ahead of safeguarding cadres, and institute a full­scale official inquiry into the plagued municipality.

English is a language, not a sign of intelligence T

ANELE MNGADI

HE issue of languages has always been a hotly contested topic especially in post-colonial countries.

South Africa is no exception with 11 official languages an imbalance in the use of these languages can easily be expected.

The problem comes when propaganda and the miseducation of the masses is used to make them believe that one language is superior to the others, and thus symbolises a certain level of intelligence.

According to Census 2011 only 9.6% of South African citizens are English home-language speakers.

This is a very small number for English

to be used as the main mode of communication. These are legacies of colonisation and apartheid on the black man.

This is an issue of psychological dependency, although we have gained physical liberation our brains are still chained by colonised. We somehow still seek the approval of the white man, we still see them as our musters, we want to become white, we still believe that greatness lies in whiteness. So what we do is hide the black skin under white tendencies and by doing this we begin to feel like “real human beings”.

In the words of Mark Twain, “When a country enslaves a people, the first

necessary job is to make the world feel that the people to be enslaved are sub-human. The next job is to make his fellow-countrymen believe that man is inferior and then the unkindest cut of all is to make that man believe himself inferior.”

The educated black man has no confidence of his language because he thinks of it as being backwards.

The reality is there is a hierarchy of languages - South Africa with English at the apex and all other languages at base level. It is disturbing to see this double-standard mentality when a white person speaks a native language we are amused, but the natives are taught English from Grade 2 and that

is normal.

Now we are fighting language policies, challenging universities to accommodate the African child, but the problem is deeper than that. We don’t use enough native languages - it is almost as though we are outsourcing the love of our culture and language to others. We want people to love and respect our languages. We need to work together to make being African cool again. The aim of this piece is not to turn over the hierarchy of languages to reverse the order, but rather to dismantle the existence of this hierarchy and decolonise the mind.

“Never be ashamed of being an African.” - Thomas Sankara.

No names will be taken from voters’ roll over missing addresses ­ IEC WITH just more than three months left to go until local government elections, government was trying to ensure it had all voters’ addresses in a bid to comply with a Constitutional Court ruling, MPs heard on Tuesday.

A sub-committee consisting of eight government departments and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), Eskom, Statistics SA and the South African Post Office (Sapo), had been formed to find ways of assigning addresses to households without formal addresses.

The Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs

(Cogta), led by Deputy Minister Andries Nel, discussed the country’s readiness for the local government elections at a joint committee meeting. Cogta director-general Vusi Madonsela urged South Africans to make sure they provided addresses to the IEC before the election date was gazetted by the minister.

“The question the court must help us answer is what should the IEC do with those people who are on the voters’ roll, but there are no addresses next to them.

“It’s not up to the IEC to decide whether those people can vote. The court will have to guide us in terms

of what we do,” Madonsela said.

He said there were an estimated 7,9 million people who did not have addresses at all, and millions who had generic addresses.

Nel told the committee the fact that a person was on the voters roll and had voted before did not mean the IEC had an address for that voter. He said the IEC was faced with the challenge of people who had been voting for 10 years, but had never provided addresses before.

Nel said he had also received an SMS from the IEC notifying him that they did not have an address for him, even though he had lived in the same place for 20 years. The need to have voters’ addresses was an

attempt to comply with a Constitutional Court ruling that the 2013 Tlokwe by-elections were not free and fair.

It was handed down in November last year. The court ruled that all new voters who registered had to have address details, or sufficient details of where they lived, to place them in a voting district.

According to an IEC statement issued in February, about eight million of the country’s 25 million registered voters had no conventional address details listed. Local government elections are to be held on Wednesday, 3 August.

Cogta’s Kevin Naidoo said the sub-committee, led by Stats SA and Sapo, had already started working on the problem.

Stats SA had proposed using a “georeferenced dwelling frame”, which was a complete, up-to-date database of all dwellings and other

structures in the country, to assign addresses to households.

He said the assignment of addresses did not fall within the IEC’s mandate.

IEC CEO Mosotho Moepya told reporters in Pretoria allegations that people have been removed from the voters’ roll due to confusion over addresses are urban legend. No voter would be removed from the roll if they had not yet provided an address, he said.

Moepya said the IEC had received a number of inquiries on Sunday from people who said they had been removed from the voters’ roll, after they had received an SMS requesting them to update their addresses.

“The SMS indicates we do not have their address details on record. None of them have been removed. There is no plan to remove them,” he said. - News24.

Colonial scars

Zipho Makhoba IN each one of us there exists a metaphysical guilt by virtue of us being human beings through which we are duty bound to expose and rectify atrocities perpetrated against certain segments of society.

If we can perceive such atrocities we ought to act on them, for failure to do so implicate us to the same degree as the initial perpetrator(s). This moral obligation is even more compelling when the main perpetrators exonerate themselves from the blame.

There is not even one social ill that does not have a strong and constant relationship with us blacks and we are victims through no fault of our own.

James Baldwin sums it up nicely: “If a society permits one part of its citizenry to be menaced or destroyed, then very soon, no one in that society is safe.”

The economic inequalities will perpetually undermine any progress and continue to be primary sponsors of crime, fear and corruption. Again, these economic inequalities

are now beginning to breed underdeveloped classes, namely poor class, unemployed class and stealing class.

Even more perturbing is that these “underdeveloped classes” will soon become permanent classes and their common language would be that of violence.

This affirms Adam Smith’s stance, “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the greater part of the members are poor and miserable”.

Indeed the minority of this country will forever spend thousands of rands improving the security system in their home, locking their cars at every traffic stop.

By contrast, the menaced majority of blacks will continue fantasising about the privileges of the white minority, ready to snatch at the first opportunity.

Where this snatching is impossible through the application of individual’s ability and faculties, alliances are readily formed to deprive and dispossess the seemingly privileged. The moral of the story here is that nobody is safe in this unequal society, it does not matter what skin colour you are or what residential address you have. If we decide to ignore this reality, I will have you know that you do so at our own peril.

Unless, and until we have honest discussions, but most importantly, arrangements around economic inequalities of this country we will continue to live in fear and war.

In the same vein, it is worth noting that solutions to South African problems do not lie in the individual or particular organisation(s), but in the prowess of the masses through its collective wisdom.

>> Long­serving Pirates supporter travelled from Fishing Road to present former Pirates and ex­national player Cele with hand­made gifts JERRY BARNES

T

HE spirit of sportsmanship, brotherhood, passion an respect was witnessed last weekend when the local diehard and long-serving Orlando Pirates supporter Cooper “Mot’encane” Mkhize honoured former Pirates and ex-national player Andile “S’guta” Cele.

Mkhize travelled all the way from Edendale’s Fishing Road to Imbali Stage 2 to present the Maritzburg City coach Cele with some of his hand-crafted work he makes for a living. Gifts such as the clock, vase, water bottle and a tea cup, were some of the items presented by Mkhize.

“I can do anything with my hands.

I can change old bottles into a vase. I can also design a clock with my team colours and change an ordinary safety helmet to a colourful makaraba that

Ukuqhathwa kwamaqembu nezaziso THE Edendale Football Association will be hosting a league tournament this coming Sunday Edendale Football Association tourna­ ment quarter finals

will suit a passionate supporter of any club. In fact I can do anything related to soccer regalia with my hands,” said Mkhize.

Mkhize (42) started following the Soweto giants at the age of six. He was very lucky to watch his team in the mid-seventies at old Edendale Soccer Mecca, Wadley Stadium and felt it only right to pay tribute to his hero.

“Remember S’guta Cele started his early soccer career at Imbali’s Tehuis Development Centre with the likes of Mbulelo “OJ” Mabizela, Shaun Potgieter, Diko Mchunu, Sifiso Mnyingwa and others.

“Maritzburg was very lucky that the same S’guta Cele went all the way from Imbali to play for SA U20, SA U23 and also Pirates.

“He also contributes positively to local soccer because he is coaching his former team Maritzburg City, where he started in the old Vodacom’s 2nd

Division League.

Cele said he was humbled and honoured by Mkhize’s good heart and gifts.

“I really don’t know what to say - this man, Mr Mkhize - went out of his way just to honour me and from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank him.

“He really made me feel over the moon, in the name of the game of soccer,” said Cele.

Cele started his semi professional career with the local Glamour BoysAbafana BaseThawini (Maritzburg City) before going to play for Pirates from 2001 to 2004.

He also played for Golden Arrows and AmaZulu, but was forced to retire early in his career in 2010 after a knee injury.

He played under coaches Shakes Mashaba, Gordon Igesund, Augusto Palacious and Jean-Yves Kerjean.

SHOOTING THE BREEZE

JERRY BARNES BEFORE it’s too late and I blame myself for keeping quiet, let me rather talk or suggest. As my old great writer, firebrand human rights activist and eloquent public speaker, Steve Bantu Biko once put it: “It is better to die for an ideal that will live, than to live for an ideal that will die.”

To be short and direct to the

point, the whole of KwaZulu­ Natal, especially the Greater Pietermaritzburg, is spending sleepless nights and really worried about Maritzburg United.

Needless to say, the current situation is unacceptable. I may be wrong, but let me rather not say anything about the concentration of the team for the whole of 90 minutes, but suggest a couple of things.

Believe me, if it’s done properly, my suggestions will do the trick.

Firstly, the Team of Choice management need to get a sports psychologist for a session with the whole team, especially before their game against Mpumalanga Black Aces on Saturday.

Secondly, United’s head coach Ernst Middendorp needs to bring in Vigil Vries instead of Glenn Verbauwhede. I feel Vries is more

familiar with situations such as these. He also now understands South African soccer culture more than Verbauwhede.

Thirdly and finally, Maritzburg United management, especially their public relations­marketing department must consider filling up the stadium to the afters for their games at home.

The only way to do it is to allow part of the Pietermaritzburg community members into the stadium for free. Allow at least three local schools in for free.

Also allow passionate women soccer followers in for free, at least the first 100.

On a final note, I appeal to all United’s players to play their heart out and triple their efforts in the field, it’s about our City of Choice here, your careers, sponsors, PSL status and our province.

TALKING FOOTBALL

THABO DLADLA SOUTH African football coaches are big on talking rather than on doing. I think we are lazy and expect others to do things for us. In fact, the football community in South Africa has not done much to improve the game. We still depend a lot on European

nations to produce technical and/or tactical information for our consumption.

When are we going to read technical books written by South African football coaches? It is about time our football experts start producing information and/or knowledge to develop local football. It is a shame that in a country where the first heart transplant was conducted, no research has been conducted in football. We continue doing an injustice to our beautiful game through using inappropriate training methods.

South Africans need to learn that politics do not feed and develop people. It is important that we learn to work with both friends and foe.

The winner takes all mentality is not helping the game to grow.

The game needs the contribution of many people, including your enemies. The current set-up on all levels is serving individual egos instead of players.Nations like Germany and the Spanish have shown in recent years the importance of focusing on home-brewed solutions.

This direction unfortunately, requires people that are not scared of hard work. South Africa has enough technical talent within the coaching fraternity. I think if you focus on your friends, your work will not prosper.

The youth of South Africa deserve better than the service they are getting presently.

Mind-sets need to change if the potential of local talent is to be recognised.

Unzima lo mthwalo.

Maritzburg United players celebrate a goal in one of their matches. They need to score more goals and defend well if they want to retain their PSL status next season.

‘Maritzburg United ­ not in crisis’ JERRY BARNES

M

ARITZBURG United may be experiencing an endless battling to move away from the relegation zone, but the club says the situation is under control and insists there is no crisis in the camp.

Last Saturday many of the Team of Choice die-hards left Harry Gwala Stadium heartbroken after their side lost 4-2 to another relegation zone candidate, University of Pretoria.

Many local soccer followers and pundits keep on asking - why is United, in most cases, the first ones to score or take the lead, but the always end up on the losing side?

The other million-dollar question that has been bandied about in local soccer circles is why is head coach Ernst Middendorp running out of ideas and is he actually capable of helping United retain their PSL status?

United communication manager Brian Zuma says the team was “just unlucky in some games and improvement is already there”.

Zuma also says their first-choice goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede was not the problem, it was just that the defence needed to be tight and organised.

“There has been an improvement. We won against Bloemfontein Celtic and Lamontville Golden Arrows without conceding.

“We are just not consistent. It is the players that must execute. The coach works hard on this at training.

“Our keeper Glenn had a very good game against Arrows. He has made some good saves in previous games, but the defence has to work as a unit,” said Zuma.

This Saturday at Harry Gwala Stadium at 8pm, the Team of Choice will be visited by Mpumalanga Black Aces.

The clash is expected to be interesting and to produce fireworks because Aces were

responsible for bundling United out of the Nedbank Cup when they beat them 2-0 a fortnight ago.

Zuma says fighting relegation is still on, and they still have seven games to go.

“We are still left with seven fixtures to play for before the end of the season.

“We strongly believe we are still in it and are positive that we will be able to avoid relegation.

“We trust and believe in our players and in our technical bench,” he said.
