RED LOCATION SHACK DWELLERS SAY MAYOR’S DECISION IS PREMATURE
Anger over museum opening NCEBA DLADLA
S
ABC2’s Morning Live Show was broadcast live at the Red Location Museum in New Brighton last Thursday to announce the opening of this museum which has been at the centre of much controversy. The filming of the opening of the
museum has, however, angered a group of shack dwellers who said they are still waiting for the houses they were promised. Claiming to represent about 400 people living in the Block 40 area, they said mayor Danny Jordaan’s decision to open the museum without them getting proper RDP houses was premature. They accused the Phase 2
leadership of selling them out. “We are two sides here. There is the Phase 2 side which has already benefited from housing development but was not satisfied with the size of the housing (they were given 40m2 whereas they wanted 48m2) and us who are in the shacks. We wanted RDP houses,” explained Tiny Maxela (51).
Maxela said that when the museum had been closed more than three years ago, the idea had been to open it only when both sides’ demands were met. “We now see them opening the museum and they are saying nothing about us who are living in the shacks. “Must we live in the shacks for all our lives? Will they blame our chil-
dren when they break into the cars of those tourists and run into these shacks?,” asked Maxela. “I am 50 years old and still in a shack. Why must I die in a shack?” asked another resident, adding that he found it painful living in squalor.

Forum to combat scourge of drugs, crime among youth NCEBA DLADLA ABANQOBI Conquerers Forum is a NonProfit Organisation aimed at fighting crime and criminality in Nelson Mandela Bay. The organisation was formed in March by Stanley Tokota, Sakhele Manona and Vera Qwesha-Manona who have all had a run-in with the law at one point in their lives. Vera Qwesha-Manona was a prostitute who changed her ways after she became a Christian. Manona and Tokota were dangerous thugs (amagintsa) who were reported on in the Express Indaba on January 13 this year, when they denounced living a life of crime and handed over a gun to authorities after attending the church belonging to Nigerian Prophet Timothy Omotoso. “When we accepted Jesus as Lord, we felt obliged to play our part in helping those we left in crime to change their ways,” said Tokota. They visit schools and tell the wayward youth that crime doesn’t pay. “Some of the boys in the township thought that I was cool, robbing banks and committing car-hijacking. But it was only a matter of time before my life would end up being on the run, in jail and even losing my life. We go to schools to tell the youth not to try this, it is not on,” said Manona. The duo asked parents not to abdicate their
responsibility, but to go back to the basics, to nurture their children and ensure good parenting. They asked township folk, and especially professionals, to provide the youth with role-models. “We work with the Departments of Education, Social Development and Justice to talk and empower the youth as well as go to jails to assist in making sure that inmates are rehabilitated and prepared to reconcile and make peace with their victims,” said QweshaManona whose life took a 360 degree turn since she became a Christian. She proudly revealed that she fell in love with and married Manona. “We were sinners but in Jesus we found love, acceptance and hope. We then dedicated our loves to be of use to the community. For that we thank the man of God who prayed for us and led the way,” said Qwesha Manona, adding that their other responsibility was to help fight against xenophobia. “Hatred and killing of foreigners is wrong. Some are making a difference in the lives of many here in South Africa. We found God and life through one of them,” said Qwesha Manona. Manona as Qwesha wrote a biography “From Grass to Grace” illustrating how she was saved from drugs and prostitution. She provides talks to young girls in schools, churches and social clubs to warn them against abandoning their schooling for a fast and furious life of risk and death.

Operation lockdown intensifies in Port Elizabeth despite resistance NCEBA DLADLA MEMBERS of the South African Police Service (SAPS) performing operational duties in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth survived gunshots at the weekend. According to police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu, this started on Friday at about 2:55pm after police in execution of a warrant, searched and arrested a suspect for possession of drugs in Voissen Road, Helenvale. “As the suspect was escorted to the police vehicle, angry community members pelted police officials with stones. A sergeant was struck on her face with a brick,” said Col Na-
idu, adding that the crowd then followed the police to the Gelvandale police station where they continued with their attack by throwing stones. This damaged private police vehicles, according to Naidu. She said they were, as a result, investigating a case of public violence. In another incident in the Helenvale area on Sunday, 5 June, around 6:15pm, SAPS members on patrol in a vehicle driving in Fitchard Street, met a group of people running towards them. She said, “The two officers heard gun shots being fired and the community directed them further up the road. Four suspects were seen running, two of them armed with
firearms. They opened fire on the police. No one was injured but a bullet penetrated the police vehicle. A case of attempted murder is under investigation.” Deputy National Commissioner responsible for National Management Interventions, Lieutenant General Gary Kruser, expressed his concern over these incidents. “Violent attacks on our police officers are unacceptable and deplorable, especially when committed by the very people we are deployed to serve and protect, the community,” Lt Gen. Kruser said. He added that every effort would be made and that all available resources used to ensure that those who preyed on the community and those who attack the men and women
in blue, would face justice. “The SAPS will not be deterred by such heinous acts in a quest to ensure that all people in the Northern areas of Port Elizabeth are and feel safe,” he said. Police urged law abiding citizens to report such incidents to the nearby police or the Crime Stop number:0 08600 10111. Callers have a choice to remain anonymous. According to the police spokesperson, the intervention units deployed in the Northern Areas have made significant inroads and several suspects have been arrested and illegal firearms and ammunition are being confiscated daily since the start of Operation Lockdown in March 2016. Police have seized at least 35 firearms to date.
Shop owner arrested for possession of unlicensed firearm NCEBA DLADLA A COMMUNITY member tipped off the New Brighton police about a foreigner with an unlicensed firearm, resulting in his arrest.
Police spokesperson Constable Mncedi Mbombo said a 27-year-old Somalian shop owner had been found in possession of the firearm at about 8.30pm on Sunday. The man, whose name cannot be published until he appears in court, was alleg-
edly seen in possession of the firearm at his Baraca spaza shop in New Brighton, according to Mbombo. “Police visited the shop in Madlongozi Street and asked for permission to search it. They found an unlicensed firearm and
eight rounds of live ammunition,” he said. The suspect failed to produce a licence for the weapon. It would be sent for ballistic testing to see if it had previously been used in a crime, Mbombo said.

pality cleaning the area. Municipal spokesperson Kupido Baron said that Thursday’s event had been meant only for the SABC broadcast. “Last week’s opening of the museum was only symbolic,” Baron said. He added that according to mayor Jordaan, the key was actually the unlocking of opportunities that would be presented by the township and creative economies which would be created by the opening of the museum. Baron said that during the time of rebuilding the museum, which has since been vandalised and windows broken, consultation and planning would continue with all the stakeholders, including shackdwellers. “Housing development was key among the residents of the area. The mayor did say he wanted Singapi Street, where the museum is located, for instance, to be developed to attract investment as is the case with Vilakazi Street in Soweto,” he said. “People should not panic as they were part of the developments forseen in the area,” he said.

Reverend Simon Gqubule laid to rest NCEBA DLADLA THE Reverend Dr Simon Gqubule (88), the first African student to qualify for a PhD degree at Rhodes University in 1973, was buried last Thursday. His funeral service was attended by hundreds of mourners including senior members of the church, government officials and business leaders at the Uitenhage Indoor Sports Centre. Flags flew at half-mast as President Jacob Zuma had declared a special provincial funeral for the April recipient of the Order of Luthuli Silver. Gqubule, a former SA Council of Churches vice-secretary, received this honour for his role in the struggle for liberation and education Those in attendance included Land Affairs and Agrarian Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti, Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas, Premier Phumulo Masualle, MEC Pemmy Majodina, mayor Danny Jordaan, speaker Maria Hermaans, Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi and economist Moeletsi Mbeki, who is former president Thabo Mbeki’s brother. Thabo Mbeki was among those, including Mahatma Ghandi’s granddaughter, who sent messages of deepest condolences as they could not make it to what was referred to by almost all the speakers, including Gqubule’s son Duma, as a thanksgiving service for a loving and caring father, priest,
academic, educationist and administrator. Masualle said, “A gentle giant has fallen, a true servant of the people is no more. The Rev. Dr Gqubule embodied values of humility. He was a gallant fighter who fought until the end.” Academics, some of whom he taught at some point in his long and illustrious career, were in attendance, some in their academic regalia. His career started at Healdtown and Fort Hare in Alice before he moved to the Federal Theological Seminary in KwaZulu-Natal from 1961 to 1991. Gqubule’s contribution to education included starting Ilitha Educational Enhancement, which helped Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils from KwaNobuhle with their studies. He was lauded as a patriot and true servant of the people who loved the betterment of society through education. Apart from being the 2014 Herald GM Citizen of the Year Award winner, he received many other awards, such as the NMMU Prestige Award (2012); Matthew Goniwe Excellence Award (2015) and the Old Rhodian Award from Rhodes University (2015). Gqubule is survived by children Duma, Thandeka and Phumla and grandchildren. He was laid to rest at the Jubilee Park Cemetery. Methodist SA Bishop Zipho Siwa said in his sermon that those left behind should ask God to allow the selfless spirit of Gqubule to fall on them so that they could carry on with the work he had started.

New Brighton actor Xabiso Zweni and dancers PE’s Finest, from the Northern Areas, proved just how talented they are as they captivated audiences and left them calling out for more during the official opening of the CASAC Eastern Cape Cultural Festival at the PE Opera House last Friday. Jordaan, who officially opened the Colleges Association for Sport Arts and Culture (CASAC) EC Technical and Vocational and Education Training (TVET) Colleges lauded Zweni for his well-crafted and presented one-man play and
PE’s Finest for their Marikana tale dance. “This is absolutely brilliant,” said Jordaan of the monologue and dance routine. “Through arts which forms part of the creative industry, Mandela Bay has found a solution to unemployment and poverty,” said Jordaan. He challenged the youth to use their creative genius as SABC Chief Operations Officer Hlaudi Motswaneng has called on SABC radio and television to play content of 90% of local music and drama. The mayor said BayTV must also create a platform for local artists to shine. “We are waiting for you, playwrites and directors, to put up productions about the Mandela Peace Park in Motherwell. This could include other Nobel Peace Prize laureates like Bishop Desmond Tutu,
former Deputy President FW De Klerk, Chief Albert Luthuli, the Dalai Lama and President Barak Obama,” the mayor said, adding that all these great luminaries were known for having delivered very powerful speeches in their careers. He said Motherwell, like the cultural precinct of the Red Location Museum, must develop a business hub which would attract tourism as part of township economy. Mandela Bay Arts Council general secretary Gcobani Poltini said as artists they were working handin-glove with the metro municipality and were thankful to the executive mayor for his support. The CASAC Festival is an annual celebration of different cultures through story-telling, debating, dance, music and poetry. Eight Eastern Cape TVET Colleges took part in the festival.

Former and future champions honour the legacy of Wonder Boy Nene NCEBA DLADLA FORMER South African Junior Flyweight, Super Flyweight and Junior Bantamweight Africa Boxing Union (ABU) champion Vuyani “Wonder Boy” Nene (51) of KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage is still the people’s champion. This became evident during a legacy tournament organised by Thubalethu Boxing Club in honour of his achievements and dedication to the sport. Nelson Mandela Bay executive mayor Danny Jordaan and senior officials from the Department of Sport and Recreation in the metro officiated at the event which was held to honour the legend who put this city on the world map during his boxing heydays.

Sanabo honoured Nene with a
Green Blazer. Explaining the gesture, Mofu said, “This is our way of thanking Nene for his role in developing the sport in this area after his retirement from the ring. Of course, he fought and became a national champion in open boxing albeit at a time when it was not yet
united.” Mapitiza thanked Thubalethu BC for coming up with such a noble idea of thinking about a hero like Nene and honouring him. “Nene is a true role model and his Legacy Project would inspire the youth more, knowing that those
who represented their city and country were never forgotten,” said Mapitiza. Teams from Nelson Mandela Bay and Sarah Baartman District Municipalities provided exciting bouts. Nene and his old adversary Ndoda Mayende also gave an exhibition and a glimpse of the battle that took place at Uitenhage Indoor Sports Centre on 15 August 1993. Local former professional boxers and some from the Buffalo City Metro Municipality including Mbulelo “Silent Slayer” Botile (IBF Bantamweight and Featherweight champion), Phumzile “Sweet Boy” Madikane (SA Welterweight), Ndoda “Happy Boy” Mayende (Junior Flyweight), Toto Mokorotlo and many others, graced the occasion. Express Indaba was also told that plans are afoot, for the refurbishment of the dilapidated house in which Nene stays at Jongilanga Street, KwaNobuhle.
Blood connects us all: Celebrating World Blood Donor Day THE South African National Blood Service (SANBS) commemorates World Blood Donor Day on June 14. This is an international day of recognition of blood donors globally. The theme for World Blood Donor Day this year is “Blood connects us all”. In the face of major communicable disease epidemics South Africa has maintained a high degree of blood safety and a reliable supply of blood countrywide. This is largely because it follows key recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) on good blood service management: reliance on unpaid voluntary donors, universal testing of donated blood,
and reduction of unnecessary transfusions. SANBS is yielding positive results across these areas:
•It is one of the 65 countries in the world that get 100 percent of their blood from voluntary donors who are not remunerated. The WHO has a target that by 2020 all countries will adopt this model. •SANBS works closely with healthcare workers who do transfusions at health facilities to heighten awareness about the correct use of blood thus reducing wastage of this precious resource. •To keep blood safe SANBS tests every single unit of blood collected daily for pathogens that cause HIV, Hepatitis B and C and syphilis which are highly prevalent in the country. South Africa is one of few middleincome countries that run nucleic acid amplification
testing (NAT) which detects the pathogens responsible for these epidemics by significantly reducing the length of the window period.
This is an investment that has given many accident victims, people suffering from blood-related diseases and mothers in labour, the opportunity to live healthy lives. Today SANBS has over 400 000 donors on its database and the number is growing. “SANBS is also getting younger as we are seeing the proportion of donations from our youth increase. We have invested in taking a targeted approach to donor education and community support that moves be-
yond the need for blood as medical response but also a unifying act of love and care,” said SANBS communications manager, Vanessa Raju. World Blood Donor Day will be celebrated in Port Elizabeth on June 11 at Baywest Mall, Centre Court in association with Algoa FM.

Classic Angels gospel group in concert this weekend NCEBA DLADLA THE Classic Angels gospel group will present back-to-back gospel shows at the NU2 Community Hall in Motherwell this Saturday and at the Babs Madlakane Community Hall in KwaNobuhle on Sunday. Both shows start at 2pm. “The shows are aimed at showcasing the talent that is identified and groomed here in Nelson Mandela Bay,” Classic Angels Music Foundation founder Unathi Hloyi said. Hloyi, a music graduate from Motherwell who is the executive producer and band
manager, founded the foundation, which covers classic and jazz music, in 2012. They will be debuting their work in the gospel music genre. While Classic Angels have performed at numerous corporate functions, jazz events, weddings and festivals in and around Nelson Mandela Bay, their gospel singing is starting to shine. Through the Classic Music Foundation initiative, Hloyi calls together aspiring musicians from disadvantaged backgrounds with a common vision of composing and sharing their love of music. “We saw a gap in gospel music and we have good voices for gospel,” said Hloyi.

Support Winter Woolly campaign this week REPORTER COMMUNITY Chest of the Eastern Cape is this week holding its annual Winter Woolly Collection Campaign called Winter Woolly Week. The purpose of this campaign is to collect much needed warm goods and non-perishable food in aid of the less fortunate communities in the Eastern Cape. Two major sponsors for this campaign are General Motors SA and Caltex EC. On Friday, June 10, employees from the Community Chest, Caltex EC and General Motors SA will participate in street collections at a number of major intersections in Port Elizabeth between 6am and 8.30am. Members of the public are invited to donate clothes and money at the following intersections: ) William Moffett/Cape Road
) Fig Tree/Moffet on Main ) Stanford Road/Aubrey Street ) Five Ways on Cape Road. In addition, there will be clothing collection boxes at participating Caltex Service Stations throughout the Eastern Cape, the Community Chest offices in Central, General Motors Dealers, Greenacres Shopping Centre and Walmer Park shopping centre until the end of June.

added that they wanted to give glory, honour and praise to God for the things He had done, both seen and unseen. “Classic Angels is a big brand and we feel the 10-voice gospel group is going to stamp its authority. The band prides itself on versatility and the music on offer is going to touch the nerve of real gospel lovers.” Hloyi said the show was aimed at helping those people facing hardships and carrying burdens to offload. He urged residents and visitors to the metro to come in droves, saying the R50 admission fee was almost nothing considering the live music on offer. Through these efforts, Hloyi said, they
wanted to bring back the culture of live music to the townships and to expose upcoming musicians to the live music culture. “We also want to bring back entertainment and positive living, especially to young people of the Bay,” he said. Guests artists also singing with a live band include hip-hop musician Azz Veritazz, who is also venturing into gospel music to show his versatility, Magnify and Fusion Elements. Durban’s bass guitarist Cwenga Mbele will be gracing the event with his presence and performance with the band. Admission is for R50 adults and R30 for children under 12.

Big football tournament for schools in Motherwell REPORTER VODACOM has partnered with Inqaku and the Motherwell Football Association (Mofa) to host a school football tournament later this month. This Vodacom NXT LVL tournament, hosted in Motherwell on June 17 and 18, will serve to promote school football in the region. It will also pilot a new player-verification and fan-communication system that is aimed at eradicating age and identity cheating and encouraging community involvement and support. A total of 62 boys and girls teams from 31 schools are expected to compete in the event. For the first time, players participating in the tournament will be issued Vodacom SIM cards. The SIM cards will act as digital player ID cards, displaying player and tournament stats when a player enters the competition USSD string. Inqaku and Safa Digital are enrolling more than 1 200 players, parents, coaches and referees in the competition system. The USSD service will be used in conjunction with the existing Inqaku and Safa Digital online registration and verification system. Family, friends and fans of the teams will be able to track the tournament’s results, logs, fixtures, and player statistics through the same USSD service. “We use our mobile phones to organise and manage our everyday lives. It was only a matter of time before we would start using them to facilitate football, cut out age cheating and build a new formalised football communications platform,” said Craig Rivett of Inqaku. “This will be the first time in South Africa that close to real-time match statistics will be available on demand for a school tournament.” According to Safa NEC member and Safa Schools Football Committee head Mzimkhulu Fina, “If this tournament is successful we would like to replicate it in all nine Nelson Mandela Bay football zones, throughout the province and across South Africa.” He added that “the goal is to continually learn, improve the technology and build up schools football”. The youth tournament coincides with the recent announcement of Vodacom’s NXT LVL soccer talent initiative that will see SA’s best 14 to 16-year-old football players attending a football boot camp with Lucas Radebe, Mark Fish, and former Banyana Banyana U17 captain Shorty Dludlu. The top players will walk away with a full scholarship to TUKS Sports High School. “Vodacom has had a long history of empowering South Africans through technology. As our youth demographic continues to grow, it was very important for us to create an engaging platform that allows young people to live their passion and realise their dreams through the discovery and nurturing of different talents,” said Mzamo Masito, Vodacom brand director. “Young South Africans often dream of making it in life and often it just remains a dream, but through Vodacom NXT LVL, any aspiring soccer player – this includes female contenders too – has the chance to be discovered and to take his or her talent and passion to greater heights. “We are looking for the next generation of soccer greats and we encourage South African youth to enter the Vodacom NXT LVL talent search,” Masito said.

NMB Handball Association hosts national champs SELBY MADIKANE HUNDREDS of spectators are expected to watch national handball championships that will be hosted by the Nelson Mandela Bay Handball Association at NMMU Missionvale Campus from June 25 to 29. According to Handball South Africa and Nelson Mandela Bay Handball Association organiser Zonwabele Hlulani they decided to bring the event to the Missionvale Campus since it is a central venue for everyone. Hlulani highlighted that their members would not have to pay any admission to the games.
“There is no admission fee. We appeal to the members of the community to come in large numbers to the games. “There will be 12 sides for males and females that will be in action. School children are urged to support this national event,’’ said Hlulani. Hlulani said that his side Vikings, under chairman Vuyisile Viva Mguca, would show the local people how they became the national champions for three consecutive years. Vikings won the national titles in 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the men’s section. “Vikings managed to be the national winners for three consecutive years in the men’s section; hence I am appealing to our local sup-
porters to come and enjoy these games. Vikings are a very formidable side that puts up a gallant performance. “The teams that will play against Vikings will have to think twice. Vikings had won National Beach Handball championships in both the men’s and female’s sections in Durban at the end of April 2016,” said Hlulani. Hlulani is a teacher at Charles Duna Primary in New Brighton while Mguca is a teacher at Qaphelani High School in KwaZakhele. Both Hlulani and Mguca serve in the NMB Handball structure. Hlulani can be contacted at 078 363 9656 for more information about the tournament and training sessions for handball.

The battle of the top-guns produces fireworks SELBY MADIKANE IT was a do-or-die game when the two top guns in the Zwide Football Association (ZWIFA) Ntando Tours and Transport Premier League – Zwide Pirates and Golden Aces – took each other on in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw at Zwide Stadium on Sunday. Pirates came to the came licking their wounds after Real Crusaders beat them 2-1 a week ago. Despite losing their first league game, Pirates wanted to cement their position on top of the log table while Aces came to beat their opponents in order to be on top of the league table. Both sides have 28 league points after playing 12 games, but the Buccaneers had a better goal difference. The action of the game was from one end to the other of the field. Aces’ star wing Aphiwe Solomon had a clear-cut chance but Buccaneers goalkeeper Thulani Lizani pulled a brave save in the 10th minute. Pirates struck back when Thembinkosi Jim sent a rocket that was saved by Aces goal stopper Mzwamampondomise Gobodo in the 13th minute.
Aces launched an attack with their skipper Tebogo Kukama, Mcebisi Mdwayi and Solomon taking charge of the midfield. Solomon sent a perfect square to their striker Simbarashe Manuere who scored Aces’ goal in the 30th minute. The Pirates midfielders looked disjointed as they changed their style of playing to playing long balls. Aces led 1-0 for the entire 45 minutes. Pirates introduced Lucky Pase into the fray for Vusumzi Kiviet Pirates midfielders Luzuko Slip, Xolani Matsau Quntu and Wandisile Sikelela who read each other like an open book. Aces goalkeeper Gobodo sustained an injury to his right leg and was replaced by Thando Barthez Mthimkhulu. Sikelela’s powerful shot was blocked by Mthimkhulu to Sinalo Catazo who scored a long-awaited goal for Pirates in the 83rd minute. Pase failed to take his side to honours following a brilliant save by Mthimkhulu in the 85th minute. Mxolisi Losta Loli who replaced Manuere had a solo run down the right flank and his effort went wide with Lizani covering his post. As things stand Pirates and Aces have 29 league points with the former still lead-

SA boxing team off to Baku for Olympic qualifiers NCEBA DLADLA SEVEN South African boxers are going to Azerbaijan capital Baku for the Rio Olympic Games 2016 qualifiers. The Baku qualifiers will feature boxers from all over the world who are hoping to represent their countries in the Olympics in Brazil. The South African team of boxers going to Baku are Akani Puzi (91kg) from Limpopo; Ayabonga Sonjica (56kg) from the EC; Luvuyo Sizani (81kg) from the EC; Sikho Nqothole (52kg) from the EC; Sibusiso Bandla (48kg) from the EC; Asanda Gingqi (60kg) from the EC and Sibusiso Malinga (64kg) from KZN. The coach is Nkosinathi Hlwatshwayo of KZN. “This is a make-or-break for the South African team, which we regard as the hidden treasure of open (amateur) boxing in this country,” South African National Amateur Boxing Organisation (Sanabo) president Andile Mofu said.
“When we were planning in 2014, we told these boxers that the target was to win the All-Africa Championships, go to the Commonwealth Games in Morocco and lastly to Baku in order to be considered for the Olympics, and so far they have done everything accordingly.” South Africa has never won any Olympic boxing medal since its return to international competitions. Mofu said he was certain, however, that Sanabo was not only taking a strong team to Baku, but the team was ready to compete against the best in the world and continue to represent South Africa in Rio. And, the boxers it seems, knew exactly what the doctor required. “I held my studies in abeyance in order to focus on boxing. The main aim is to go to the Olympics and bring back a gold medal,” said Mthatha’s Sikho Nqothole, who is in Grade 12 at Luzuko High School. He said he was looking forward to the trip to Baku as it was the
only thing standing in the way of his “ultimate dream” of bringing a gold medal to South Africa. “The two things on my mind when I started boxing in 2003 were to win an Olympic medal and to turn professional. We have had good physical and mental preparedness for the competitions that we participated in since 2014. All we can say now is, Baku here we come.” An upbeat Mofu said, “This is the team that is surely going to bring more than one medal back to South Africa.”

Man FC cruise to victory over FC Angels SELBY MADIKANE MANCHESTER FC showed their class when they thrashed FC Angels 3-1 in their MOFA Build It Premier League clash at Motherwell NU 9 Stadium on Saturday. Angels made a bright start to the game forcing the Wells Estates side to defend. Manchester FC managed to ward off the threat and came back slowly into the game. Thandisizwe Gaxa scored Manchester FC’s goal in the run of play. FC Angels’ danger man Athenkosi Taibo Taaibosch replied with a beautiful equalising goal in the 44th minute. Manchester FC skipper Vuyani Mtshungwana increased their lead to 2-1 when he banged in a superb goal. Angels came up strongly in search of an equaliser. Taaibosch was denied a goal after the assistant referee raised his flag, adjudging him to have scored from offside. Mtshungwana sent an accurate pass to an unmarked youngster, Ayabonga Badi, whose effort
counted for his side to make the final score 3-1. SUBS took Motherwell United to the cleaners when they demolished them 9-0. Young Romans came from behind with a score of 1-0 down to dash the dreams of Manchester United of winning the league title. They defeated them 2-1 in their scintillating game.

Stars came out strongly against the students who were forced to defend. Anelisa Mazizi was the most threatening player to the Madibaz defence. Madibaz wing Kamohelo Moze was denied a scoring chance by Phelisa Natasha Kolisi during a one-on-one situation. Tomorrow Stars’ long-awaited goal was finally scored by Akhona Fatyi before the end of the first half after the home side kept on knocking on NMMU Madibaz’s door. The first half score was 1-0 with both goalkeepers pulling brilliant saves. In the second half Madibaz started to put the home team un-
der immense pressure. Kolisi communicated well with her defenders and she stood her ground. Moze unleashed a long range shot which Kolisi parried over the poles. Moze came close to scoring Madibaz’s opening goal but her efforts went wide. Stars’ dribbling wizard Mazizi went past three defenders of the visiting side but her shot was well saved by the Madibaz goalkeeper. It was Moze again who missed Madibaz’s opening goal as Kolisi had the near post well covered. Kolisi was the best player of the match showing her class throughout the game.
