HAZARD

>> Residents say patients urinate againt the walls of the nearby houses and leave nappies lying all over

NCENSED Copesville residents have called for the Department of Health authorities to shutdown Copesville clinic, saying that itisahealthhazardtothecommunity. According to residents, the clinic, which is in the vicinity of houses, was previously used as a pharmacy but it is now operating on a permanent basis. At the top of their concerns is the medical waste, including nappies, that is discarded negligently in their neighbourhood. With the clinic

opening at about 9am, residents claim that some of the patients who arrive as early as 5am use their backyards as toilets. “They urinate on my concrete fence daily and on my vegetable garden. I do not know what kind of sickness I will get in the long run, as these people come here because they are sick, and bacteria is contagious. “As a result, I keep my four yearold granddaughter locked inside the house because I do not want her to catch any diseases. We have dogs who also go and collect waste from this clinic,” said a neighbour who did not want to be identified.

Another resident said that they are not against the presence of a clinic in the area, but believe that it is not where it is supposed to be. “Although we do not know about health regulations, we do not think that a clinic is supposed to be betweenresidentialareas.Youcannot even tell that it is a clinic,” said Bobby Padayachee. Another resident, who also did not want to be identified, said: “It is a health hazard and also, residential areas are supposed to have privacy. There is no privacy because even if you are resting at your home, as early as 5amyou are woken by crying children and

people who are arriving at the clinic. Over the past few weeks, our homes have become a nest for criminals, because there are thieves who come under the pretence of being patients.” Despite having approached the department about the matter, the residents say that nothing has been done. Umgungundlovu health district, spokesperson Musawenkosi Mncwabe said that Masons clinic used to provide a full package and Copesville was open only as a chronic medication collection point. “Whenthedepartmenttookover

all former municipal clinics, it was discovered that Masons had huge infrastructure challenges. A decisionwastakentomovesomeservices temporarily to Copesville clinic while the district looked for a permanent solution. As a short term solution,thedepartmentisfacilitating more park homes to be erected at Masons clinic so that the services can be moved back there. A motivation for a new clinic has been made to the department. The department understands the frustrations of residents, but at the same time, health services must be provided.We ask the community to be patient, while we attend to this issue.”

Vox pop on DA and Agang’s divorce

Nomasonto Gumede

UST five days after the Democratic Alliance (DA) and Agang announced their marriage, predictions about it not lasting have proved to be true. The DA, led by Helen Zille and Agang by Mamph ele Ramphele will be no longer be campaigning hand in hand for votes in the next election, after parting ways in an embarrassing way. NOMPENDULO NGUBANE spoke to people on the street to find out what they have to say about the marriage and the divorce.

“I was against the idea from the start. If the marriage had continued, there were chances of growing the DA. Helen Zille once complained about the high pass rate of black pupils. To me, as a black pupil in South Africa who is working hard to earn good results, that was an insult. This marriage would have increased the number of votes for the DA which I still think divides people according to their race.”

Nomonde Zuma “I think it was a good idea to try and lump the two together. In a way it was promoting unity between the black and white communities. It’s a pity it didn’t last that long but it would have been a good thing.”

“It was not a good idea in the first place. In my own analysis, Agang’s majority are black people and the DA’s majority are white people. It was not clever for black people to join the DA as that would have increased votes for the party whose majority is white people.”

Lungelo Mtolo “The marriage idea was not bad but my worry about all of this was that this would have grown the voters for the DA. Obviously they would have not beaten the ANC but that small increased percentage would have done some damage somewhere.”

Ngaphambi kwesigameko sokudubula, ugwaze leli soka emqaleni emva kokuba ecele ukuthi limgibelise emotweni njengoba kade libuya ukuyobheka uZondi. Elandisa leli phephandaba unina kaZondi, uKhululekile Madlala, uthe ngokomthetho uyise womzukulu wakhe ubefuna ukubulala indodakazi yakhe. Uthe yize besekuneminyaka engaphezu kwemibili laba bobabili bahlukana, owesilisa ubenesikhwele. “Noma ngingazi kahle ukuthi kusukephi, kodwa kuthiwa emva kokuba isoka lehlise uNokuthula emotweni lahamba, uZondi ubesecela limgibelise.

Usabise ngokuthi ngizofela yona. Indodana yami encane ivule umnyango, sakwazi ukuthi sibaleke. “Emva kwalokho sizwe ukuthi ube eseya kubo, lapho efike wathumba khona umndeni wakhe, esabisa ngokuthi uzobulala ozophuma ngomnyango. Ube esevulela inhlamvu emaphoyiseni akade esefikile endaweni yesigameko, waqeda wazidubula naye,” kuphetha uMadlala.

Creating foodrich environment at schools helps to curb hunger.

WE’RE REGISTERED TO VOTE. ARE YOU?

Schools to learn to grow food JOANNE CARTY (CITIZEN JOURNALISM)

N the 20 years that Food & Trees for Africa (FTFA) has been running Eduplant, thousandsofschoolshavelearnedhowtocreate food-rich environments. “Our workshops help schools use the resources that they already have to create permaculture food gardens,” said Joanne Carty, EduPlant programme manager. “One of these workshops is to be held at Ashdown Primary School in Pietermaritzburg on 1 March 2014.” The EduPlant programme is made possible through the generous and committed support of Engen and The Woolworths Trust. “We continue to be inspired by the successful implementation of these sustainable practices, the one at Alabama Primary School in Klerksdorp over the past two years,” said Carty. “A garden is not a nice thing to have – it is essential! Unemployment and poverty is so great in our communities that many children go home to empty kitchens. We use school gardens as a teaching tool to encourage pupils to have food gardens at home,” commented project leader Charlain Strydom. The project at Alabama started when their team attended the EduPlant Cluster workshops, where they gained practical skills in sustainable food gardening. EduPlant is changing the country, one school at a time, and helpingschoolsputfoodonthetable,usingcultivation methods that are in harmony with nature. For more information, phone Hazel Moloi at 011 656 9802/3 or 071 865 2942.

HE word drama refers to action, motion, conflict and resolution of conflict. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines drama as an exciting, emotional, or unexpected event or circumstance. Even breathing alone can be a dramatic act, and so are the acts of walking, sleeping, sitting, dancing, talking, interacting, silence and non-action. There can be no story without drama. We all have our own stories to tell. If everyone has a story that can be described as dramatic, how much more about the story of the self-proclaimed creator of the earth who was the Word that became Man, the Lord Jesus Christ? Hence, one must necessarily expect a lot of drama in the story of the author of life who graced this Earth in the form of a man they called Jesus Christ. People are interested in drama. If you tell ordinary people a story that is full of philosophical quotes and references, you are more than likely going to lose their interest, unless they are intellectually-inclined. The majority of people are not necessarily interested in philosophical or highly intellectual matters. If you want to tell them something that is philosophical or requires them to think deeply and interpret what they are being told, it must be presented by

IMIZAMO ye-DA yokufolosa ngomholi we-Agang uMamphele Ramphele okhethweni kushiye imibuzo yokuthi empeleni ubani obezozuza ngakho. Akukacaci kahle ukuthi yini lena eyenza uRamphele eqale avume ukuhola imkhankaso ye-DA yokhetho njengomuntu ongaba umengameli walo abuye ashaye ingiji-khwebu. Kodwa okucacile nje ukuthi no-

ma ngabe lo mshado uwuphelanga emva kwezinsuku ezinhlanu kodwa wona vele ububonakala ukuthi uyinto ezophela maduze nje, phambi noma emva kwalo ukhetho. Enye into ecacile manje ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kukhona amalungu ala maqembu angasabuthembi ubuholi bukaRamphele nowe-DA uHelen Zille. Phela bazithathele lesi sinqumo amalungu engaziswanga.

Why so much drama in the story of Jesus Christ ? someoneforwhomtheyhaverespect, look up to or like. Thestoryyouaretellingmusthave a clear storyline and be in simplified language, (with more action than talking if it is a film script), failing which you risk not being understood by your reader or audience. Christ uses parables, and his followers are interested in hearing what he has to say, not so much becauseheiseasytofathomorunderstand, but because of the person he is, was or always be, as a God in man. Obviously,theywouldnotbeinter-

ested to hear what he has to say if he is not a healer or helper, if he does not raise the dead, if he does not heal the sick, walks on sea water, orders the storm and the wind to be quiet, and duplicates food for the multitudes to eat. In the Holy Bible, his disciples want to know why he uses parables when teaching, effectively suggesting that He is risking not being understood by the ordinary folk. He replies by saying that it does not matter because not many will see heaven after all!

But he does explain some of the parables to his would be promoters and these are a useful part of the Holy Bible to explain what the good Lord was saying to us. The story of human life revolves around drama. We are born, we live andwedie,orexitthestageoflife,and our children and their children remain behind to tell the story of our lives. Christ’s story was precisely like that, and even more than that. He was born, he lived, he died, and he was resurrected from the dead. And his followers from different

SIMPHIWE MKHIZE denominations the world over are tellingthestoryoftheircommonmaster as they seek to emulate him, and be like him and represent him in the Earth. One can’t but celebrate the story of this ancient Jesu who actually cemented his family of Christian followers that are today spread all over the world, working in different languages and operating within different cultures. I am fascinated by the dramatic events and way of thinking that is promulgated by this Christ who started and sustained this divine mission before and after he had died a physical death on the cross, and buried for three days in accordance with prophesy. Hence he is worshipped, talked about and his representatives are preachingandsinginghispraisesand honour to the glory of his father, the almighty God.

kwabadla izambane likapondo nabadla imbuya ngothi. Okunye okubuhlungu ukuthi kubonakala sengathi kunabantu abahlale belindele ukukhohliswa nokukhohliseka. Kukhona abasakholwa wukuthi uDkt. Mamphela Ramphele ucabangela umphakathi noma ududulwa wubu ‘mina’? Kwasayena uHelen Zille, ongumholiweDemocraticAlliance(DA),ulitshengisani izwe ngezinhloso zakhe, ikakhulukazi eyoku ‘thanda’ abamnyama. Asiqhubi ubandlululo kodwa kunezinto ezingeke zizitshwe ngoba kubalekelwa i ‘racism in reverse’. Izindaba ezibikwa oKhozini FM, zokuxoshwa kwesilomo uLinda ‘Mr Magic’ Sibiya, ngezinye ezithuse, zabuye zadumaza abantu abaningi kangangoba abaningi abakukholwa okubikwa ngaye. Sengathi imiphumela yophenyo ingangadumaza muntu. Njengobasitheubuholiobuhlebuhambisana nenhlonipho, ngabe siyaligwema iqiniso uma singayigxeki indlela aziphathe ngayo uMnu.

Akusiyena lo osanda kuba nenkinga kaziphu njengoba esekwazi ukugxeka abadlali beBafana Bafana abahluleke emizamweni yokukhuphula igama leNingizimu Afrika? UMfu.

U’Friji’ ukhala ngokuvalelwa amathuba ECHO REPORTER

UMCULI wasendaweni yase-Azalea owaziwa ngo‘Friji’ uJeffrey Xulu ukhala ngokukhishwa inyumbazane ozakwabo emculweni, kulandela ukuhambisa kwakhe isipho sosuku lokuzalwa kuloyo owayengumongameli ongasekho uMnu. Nelson Mandela ngo 2010. UXulu uthi ukuvela kwakhe emaphephandabeni ehambisa isipho sefriji alakha yena kuloyo owayengumengameli, kumenze waba nyamanambana kozakwabo njengoba kunezinkulumo zokuthi kukhona imali abuya nayo. Uthi kuyimanje uvaleleke ngaphandle emathubeni abaculi abasafufusa kuleli dolobha. “Kukhona nje neziteshi zomsakazo engizwe ngandlebenye ukuthi ngeke zisawudlala umculo wami ngoba vele nginemali. Angitshelwa nangemicimbieyenzekakulelidolobha yize kusuke kudingeka abaculi abazonandisa. Ngiye ngizwe ngayo ngomzuzu

wokugcina. Kamuva nje kulo mcimbi we-ANC obuseHarry Gwala, kudingeke ukuthi ngize ngikhokhe uR50 ukuze ngikwazi ukuthola ikhadi lezitatanyiswa (VIP)”, eqhuba.

Kungenzeka nokuthi akekho nasohlwini labaculi abakhona kuleli dolobha, njengoba kunamafomu umuntu awagcwalisayo ukuze sazi ukuthi ukhona. “Abaculi abangalindeli ukuthi ngoba bayaziwa, bazomenywa emcimbini.

TALKING FOOTBALL

THABO DLADLA SOUTH African football long left ICU, resides at cemetery Sipho Kekana. It is only the likes of Fikile Mbalula that think our game is in a healthy state. They need to be forgiven for ignorance on technicaltactical issues. However, he has no right to ridicule our footballers while there are no facilities in the townships. I think his office is as guilty as all of us on the state of football in this country. Gordon Igesund must take full responsibil ity for the performance of Bafana Bafana. It is interesting to note excuses coming from all corners about reasons of poor performance. Generally, white football coaches are treated differently in South Africa. I shudder to think if it was Steve Kompela, for instance, who had been in charge of BafanaBafana.Hewouldhavebeencalled all kinds of names. It is about time that people are judged on their talents and capacity instead of race/ political connections. South Africa is a democracy and people need to be treated with decency. The minister had no business calling our foot

ballers ‘a bunch of losers’. How many times has he himself failed in life? Great sports people are the product of great sports leaders. Mediocrity in football points to mediocrity in both our Sports Department and Safa. Players cannot develop themselves – they need capable leadership. It is not possible to raise the dead. A new beginning is needed. I have doubts if South African football will get better. The thing is that we do not take ourselves seriously. You find people with no history in playing and coaching football at a decent level occupying technical positions. It can only happen in South Africa that you have women as technical directors’ and technical committee chairpersons. The sad reality is that politics plays a role in most of our decisions. South African footballers are victims of poor football administration and educa tion. The likes of Mr Igesund have been coaching for many decades in this country. If they were really as good as most want us to believe, they would have players in Champions League teams. A coach’s job is to educate and develop players. This process does not end at the age of 16/17 years. It is ongoing until you retire from playing the game. Lastly, instead of criticising players and other people, it is important that we all take responsibility for the state of football in this country. This includes leaders at government level, Safa, club, school, communities levels and parents. Problems have never solved themselves. We need to learn the importance of doing the work and talking less. Unzima lo mthwalo!

Umculo nebhola kugujwa olukaBob Marley

>> They think assistant Eric Tinkler should have gone as well, instead of taking over as caretaker coach

LTHOUGH the majority of hard to please Orlando Pirates die-hards, and some former players, were relieved to see the back of Roger De Sa who recently resigned, they still feel their woes are not yet over. Most of them feel that the De Sa legacy and influence should have been totally removed. They say the newly appointed catertaker coach, Eric Tinkler, is “too inexperienced or small” for a big team like the Mighty Bucs. “It is always wise to clean the deck when you remove the head coach. Don’t leave his assistant or his right hand man behind,” said former Pirates star defender and captain, Edward “Magents” Motale. Another former captain, Dan Malesela, said the frustrations within the supporters might carry on. “People are likely to say Tinkler was De Sa’s assistant from Bidvest Wits and was brought by him to Pirates. Although the new caretaker coach deserves a fair chance, supporters are unlikely to be patient with him,” said Malesela. Local passionate Pirates follower, Cooper Mkhize says to leave Tinkler was risky.

Roger De Sa is flanked by his assistants Tebogo Moloi (L) and Eric Tinkler, who has temporarily taken the coaching baton from De Sa after he resigned recently. The picture was taken during the CAF Champions League final first leg match between Orlando Pirates and Al Ahly at Orlando stadium on 2 November 2013. “Tinkler is De Sa’s graduate and his mentality of coaching is based on his mentor’s ideas. We are not yet safe or heading in the right direction,” said Mkhize.

Another former Pirates star, Jerry Skhosana, said that players will have to stay strong and adopt a positive mentality because to wear the black and white strip is a challenge on its own.

“Personally, I don’t want to speak about their technical staff. But I would like to see players themselves playing their socks off and play like they are possesed by demons. Pirates is a big team with a lot of history behind it. Players need to be reminded that Pirates rich history and success are part and parcel,”said Skhosana. Pirates will play Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday at 8.15pm at Orlando Stadium, after defeating Bidvest Wits 2-1 on Tuesday under Eric Tinkler. Bucs’goals came fromHelder Pelembe and Kermit Erasmus while Bidvest Wits’consolation goal came from Sibusiso Vilakazi. The AmaBhakaBhaka PRO, Mickey Modisane, says their game against the Pretoria-based outfit will not be taken as an “acid” test for the team or for anybody, but will be treated with the respect it deserves. “It’s a normal league game. Our aim is to strive for excellent as usual but it is unfair for people to start pointing fingers or making assumptions about our current technical staff. They are working hard, as always, with the whole team,”said Modisane. -Jerry Barnes

Maritzburg United skipper Michael Morton and his team make will have their hands full when they play Kaizer Chief in an Absa Premiership match at Harry Gwala next Tuesday. The hardworking captain will reportedly be with the club until the end of June, when he joins SuperSport United.

ARITZBURG United and Kaizer Chiefs die-hards and soccer fans in KwaZuluNatal are in for a top draw match next Tuesday at Harry Gwala stadium. The Team of Choice management this week confirmed that KwaZulu-Natal soccer followers, especially from around the Greater Pietermaritzburg area, must relax because the crowd pullermatchisgoingtobeplayedatHarryGwala stadium next Tuesday at 7.30 pm. “It’s official and don’t even have any doubts. Maritzburg United will play Kaizer Chiefs at Harry Gwala stadium. What is important is to inform people out there to buy their match tickets early from the usual and official outlets. They are selling fast and likely to be sold out in a short space of time,” said United’s chairman, Farook Kadodia. Kadodia told Echo that two weeks ago, he was worried about the condition of the pitch at Harry Gwala stadium. “I must say it’s now a thing of the past. We are just glad that the club was able to make sure that the field is in a good condition and necessary standard.”
