OVERHEAD CANOPIES PROTECT AGAINST THE ELEMENTS
New taxi rank a huge improvement STAFF REPORTERS The newly opened taxi rank in Nomzamo will surely bring a change of life to many commuters in the area. Previously, minibus-taxis at the old rank had to negotiate potholes to ferry their clients to their intended destinations. All of this has changed since the Transport for Cape Town, the City’s transport authority, came up with a new design focused on providing the residents of Nomzamo with a dignified space where they can board taxis and socialise. When Lwandle was established in 1958 by the then Apartheid government to accommodate workers for the nearby fruit and canning industry, no effort was made to provide the migrant workers with decent public open spaces and facilities. When Transport for Cape Town started drawing up the plans for the taxi rank, it was kept in mind that the residents of Nomzamo would not only use the facility for boarding a taxi, but that it would soon also become a meeting place for socialising, eating and shopping. The main focus, however, was on the safety and comfort of pedestrians. Overhead canopies have been provided at the loading areas, as well as the pedestrian walkways, providing com-
muters with protection against the elements, whether in winter or summer. Commuters have access to four male and female toilets, as well as a toilet for those with special needs. A wash bay, accommodating two minibustaxis at a time, has been constructed. TCT has also constructed six kiosks for local traders and entrepreneurs wishing to cook and sell food. Each kiosk has been provided with water, wash basins, fat traps, and an extractor. The water and electricity costs will be recovered from the traders as each kiosk is also separately metered. “We started with construction of the Nomzamo taxi rank in May last year and to date we have spent nearly R12 million. The solar panels provide sufficient electricity for the office building and 16% of the entire facility’s electricity during the peak periods, inclusive of the trading kiosks. The taxi rank will soon be equipped with batteries for the storage of reserve solar electricity to be used at night or on cloudy days, ensuring it can operate completely off the electricity grid,” said Councillor Herron. Until such time as the taxi rank operates completely off the electricity grid, the City will still see huge savings in electricity costs.

What would Madiba say if he saw us now? I grew up in the dusty district of iDutywa in the Eastern Cape and having been reared by a devoted Christian mother, I am well-versed in matters concerning the Bible and accompanying quotes. This is one of those moments in my life where I wish every human heart and mind were made known to each other. In the Old Testament, in the book of Mica Chapter 6: verse 1 to 4 entitled The Lord’s case against Israel, it reads “Listen to what the Lord says: “Stand up, plead my case before the mountains; let the hills hear what you have to say. “Hear, you mountains, the Lord’s accusation; listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people; He is lodging a charge against Israel. “My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me. I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam.”
As I write this column I’m trying to hold back the tears. Madiba left us with a promising and young democracy. When you read newspapers and listen to the news on television, 21 years into our democracy, we still read about the Roodepoort Primary School that has been closed because of a racial war. In a predominantly coloured area, an African principal and his deputy have been appointed and that sparked the violence. There are accusations of nepotism and corruption levelled against both sides. Children are the ones who are suffering as they have not attended school for three months. At Stellenbosch University, there is a movement that seeks to address the language policy, there is also an organisation called Afriforum at the same institution, that seeks to preserve the Afrikaans language and its dominance. There is also an inquest at the Elsenburg Agriculture College, where my daughter Nomgigi did her learnership in 2014. They also fully funded her bursary to study agriculture through Boland College in Worcester this year
and the next three years via the Premier’s Youth Advancement Programme (PAY). It is an esteemed institution of higher learning. They are not only helping my daughter, but countless others from the township. Last year they were giving them stipends for the whole year through the Department of Agriculture, but this year it’s a fully-fledged course with accommodation and meals. There is an issue spear-headed by Afriforum at major universities and they call this the National Prevention and Preservation, in anticipation of what happened during the Rhodes Must Fall campaign or Open Stellenbosch University movement. They say they will defend their history or heritage. There is also the issue where white males want to be recognised and possibly be compensated for conscription in the army. They say just like MK veterans, they must be compensated for fighting for apartheid.
On Tuesday, they stated their case on SAFM. What I know is that most of their ideas smack of reverse racism or an apartheid hangover. I shudder to think what the man who spent his whole life fighting racism would say. Like God, if Madiba were to be resurrected from death, he would say: “My people what have I done to you? I have brought you up out of apartheid South Africa to the rainbow nation. I have taught and told you that “Never shall such a beautiful country like ours be defined by racial superiority or supremacy”. He has taught us that God created man in his image and whoever is inflicting pain on another man is by extension inflicting pain on God. The story of Elsenburg, Stellenbosch University, UCT, TUT or Roodepoort is just the tip of the iceberg. We need real people to tackle these challenges and address them head-on for the greater good of everyone, be they black or white.
Leave our kids a legacy I love staying in eKasi; we are friends, we know each other by name and just about every other person living in our area. We are forward, we are concerned and sometimes we mind other people’s business instead of minding our own. We preach to one another about healthy living and yet most of us are obese. The culture is changing though, that is a positive thing. I see a lot of people going to the gym and some are taking to running in the street in a quest for a healthy lifestyle. I always wonder how we can live a healthy lifestyle amidst all the dirt that surrounds us. Like pigs in a pigsty. Our areas are not built like pigsties, but because we are unable to take care of them, they resemble pigsties. What went wrong with us Mz’ontsundu? In this heritage month we will see people gearing up in their traditional attire, singing traditional songs and dancing their traditional dances. But then, is heritage still all about that? What is our understanding of heritage? According to my understanding heritage is about all the things that we inherit, be it from our parents, our neighbours, our role-models, our big sisters or brothers and yes, of course, our ancestors. Moreover, I believe our ancestors left us not only the traditional dances and gear but also respect for self and each other as well as the culture of Ubuntu. My question is, what legacy are we leav-
ing the children of eKasi? We demanded better living conditions and fought for the provision of basic services. We have sewage and running water. We have toilets inside our houses, but still, some of us are wont to throw dirty water onto the streets. Walk down any street koKasi and look at the sewage system, and you will see unwanted food being tossed everywhere and we wonder why we have flies all over. What will the generation after us inherit? And what kind of society are we building? We complain that our children are being disrespectful, yet we show no respect to self and what we own. And that is the inheritance we leave for our children and we cannot expect them to act otherwise. We burn a school to gain a hospital, we burn tyres and create potholes on the streets to gain houses. That’s the inheritance we leave behind for our children. We cannot claim Ubuntu anymore as we do not care for each other’s children and properties anymore. We disrespect each other by playing loud music regardless of whether the neighbour is working night shift or not. That’s the heritage we leave behind for our children. Yet during Heritage month we hide behind the heritage wear, music and dances. Ask yourself this during this heritage time, what inheritance are you leaving for your children?
Uvuzwa njani ungazami IBhayibhile isfundisa ukuba: “ Umntu obekade elisela makahlukane nokuba. Ndaweni yalonto makasebenze enyanisekile, azixhase, abenako nokunceda abahlelelekileyo”. Esinye isiqendu sithi: “Umntu olinqenerha makangaphiwa kutya.” Kwezintsuku siva kakhulu ngenkolo ebizwa ukuba yi prosperity gospel, abathi xana beshumayela bagxininise ekuthini yizani kuYesu nizokohlukana nendlala. “Ufuna impumelelo ebomini bakho, yiza kuYesu”, bahambisa besitsho. Afike ke umntu ku Yesu, iqhubeke indlala imthe mba, angaphumeleli ebomini umntu, akugqiba ke athi ayikho lento yalo Yesu, amyeke uYesu ngoba ebeze ngeenjongo ezi ngezizo kuYesu. Akumelanga bazalwane simkhonze uYesu simkhonzela izinto eziphathekayo. Eyona nto simkhonzela yona uYesu lizulu. Xana usindisiwe, lonto ayithethi ukuba awuzokuhlangana nendlala, ayithethi lonto ukuba asizokudibana neendzingo zobubomi. Into emnandi kodwa ke kumntu omamnkeleyo uYesu yile yokuba xana sihlangana nezomeko, uYesu uyasinceda asithwalise lomthwalo usindayo. Ude uve umhlabeleli esithi: “Uyathwal`umthwalo wam, umhlobo wam”. UThixo usinike ingqondo yokucinga, wasinika nezandla zokusebenza. Ukuba uzakuthandaza ungqengqe ngecala ebhedini usithi “entabeni ka Somandla kuyabone-
lelwa”, ucinga uzakuphumelela kanjani. Impumelelo eyiyo isekuthini sisebenze nzima ngezandla zethu. Esikolweni ukuze uphumelele, sebenza nzima ufunde iincwadi zakho. Zayamanise mntwana wesikolo naba bayaziyo ukuba bayokufuna ntoni esikolweni, bashiye aba balibele kukuthi bayayicaphukela I maths okanye utishala othile abamfuni. Ukuba uzimisele, ufuna ukuphumelela sebenza kangangoko ngezandla zakho. Masicinge sithandaze sisithi: “Nkosi ndingaphuma njani kule ngxingo,” xana ungaphangeli. “Nkosi, ndinike ingqiqo,”. Apho kukho ingqeqesho, yiya khona ukuze uzokufumana izakhono zobomi. Ukuba kufundiswa ngokuthunga, yiya. Ngamanye amaxesha xa ubona umntu okwazi ukwenza Ipaving okanye iwelding, hamba naye umncedise noba akazokubhatala, kodwa ujonge ukuba wenza kanjani, yaye ufunde. Imfundo ayiphelelwa bazalwane. Isidanga onaso sesokuba uqhubekeke ufunda. Jonga nezinto onokuzithengisa, uthengise nawe. Sukuzijongela phantsi, yibanephupha ngempilo yakho uzibone uphambili. Emsebenzini osebenza kuwo, sebenza ngokuzinikela, uzimisele. Ukuba awuzimesalanga, uza kunyuselwa kanjani. Ilizwi lika Thixo lithi: “Nayiphi na into eniyenzayo, yenzeni ngomxhelo, ngokungathi niyenzela iNkosi.
You can accomplish the world! Is it not time we did things for ourselves? Have you ever wondered why our people are angry? I mean young people are angry. So are students. University students! They are angry. Everybody is angry. Except me, of course. I’m not. Why is that? Simple, I’m responsible for my life. If I messed it up, I messed it up myself. I wish there were a next time. And next time I wouldn’t mess it up. But there is no next time. There’s only now. Now is the time. Now is the time to take charge of your life. Now is the time to be responsible for your life. And say, “I am the creator of my life.” Most people do not say that. Those students that are striking and stabbing each other do not say that. They want someone to lead them. I do not. I’m a grown up. I can lead myself. Do you see what I am getting at? Maybe you are not. Maybe you are blind. But if you are not, you will know what I am getting
at. I am getting at power. I am saying you’ve got the power. There is a hit like that, I guess. It says, “You’ve got the power!” And revellers say, “Yeah!” They do not mean it. They are just intoxicated, enjoying life. You’ve got to mean what you say! Most of us don’t. We are good deceivers. We say, “Yeah” while we mean “No.” Am I right? Does the truth hit home? So when we strike and hit out, what do we want? Do we want a messiah to lead us to paradise? Yes or no, you will largely lead yourself to paradise. Ewe, be your own liberator. Do things for yourself! Believe me, I know what I’m saying. I’ve been around, and I’ve seen things. Where people are happy they are not fighting. Just look around. Go to France, Germany, Denmark ... Japan. Now ask: “How can we be like that?” The other day I told someone I wanted R15 million to invest in creating 250 jobs. This is how we should think. So look within, and find that you can do amazing things. You can! Stay positive.

City destroys unclaimed ‘amaphela’ taxis On Monday the City of Cape Town’s Traffic Service destroyed 44 unroadworthy sedan taxis, commonly known as “amaphelas”. The crushing exercise marked a first for the City of Cape Town and forms part of efforts to free up space in the Maitland Pound. The vehicles in question were all impounded between 2010 and 2012 and have been left unclaimed by their owners, even though attempts were made to contact them. Regulation 320 of the National Road Traffic Act allows for the disposal of vehicles left abandoned at traffic premises for longer than 21 days. Vehicles can be auctioned, however, but those that are unroadworthy are being disposed of by a contractor appointed to crush and compact the vehicles. “By law, this exercise could have been done a long time ago, but it hasn’t been a priority until now because space at the pound has not been an issue,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith. “In fact, we used to have a 90% collection rate of public transport vehicles that had been impounded. However, I think the impoundment release fees have started taking a toll, because now there is a full pound, which means that fewer vehicles are being collected. Hopefully this very expensive lesson will make more public transport operators toe the line, so we can make progress in ensuring safer roads.” The impoundment release fee for a vehicle where the driver does not have an operating licence is R7 000 for the first impoundment, R10 000 on the second occasion, and R15 000 for a third or subsequent impoundment.
An unclaimed sedan taxi is smashed after being kept in the pound for years. When vehicles are impounded for the driver operating contrary to the conditions of their operating licence, the first-time impound release fee is R2 500, while the second impoundment is R5 000 and the third or subsequent impound is R10 000. Between January and August this year,
A decade later, still waiting Its been 10 years since the RDP house of Thobeka Bobini was built for her and her family but to this day she has never set a foot inside her house because its being occupied by someone else. To add more, she only got hold of her title deed in 2014, although is is dated September 2005. This means that she should have stepped into the house 10 years ago. “All these years, I was told that my house was not yet built, then last year I received these papers proving that my house was built a decade ago.” She said she then took these documents to her councillor, Mbuyiselo Matha, who asked for a copy and promised to attend to the matter, which papers he later reported to have misplaced. Bobini, who also lost an eye due to crime, said she felt stripped of her dignity by not being given her house years ago. “I probably would not have lost my eye, had I been staying in a proper house,” she lamented. Councillor Matha responded thus: “The matter was reported to the sub-council and to provincial housing department. As the ward councillor, each month I have report back meetings where I report issues affecting our people in areas like housing, ser-

It has been revealed that Bobini was not the only resident facing this challenge. Themba Ndabankulu was also a beneficiary who must still occupy his house. He is still staying in a shack in Wag ’n Bietjie and has been trying to occupy a house that was in his name, to no avail. The story of Bobini and Ndabankulu seems to be just a tip of the iceberg, as many people have lodged claims with the councillor regarding their houses. The authorities should do the right thing and find accomodation for them. .

paid them (subcontracters) and they seem to have not paid their own workers.” Grobler said, unfortunately “There’s nothing we can do from our side”. Councillor J.J Maxheke facilitated a meeting between the owners of Senzwa Projects and their employees at the municipal offices in Lwandle. Lunga Vunda, one half of the owners of Senzwa Projects, explained that there was a hiccup, that they had picked up that there was going to be a shortfall regarding their financial obligations to their workers. Vunda promised to settle their debts to the workers by end of August. Siphumelele Ngetu, one of the disgruntled workers said: “What we want is our money that’s all.” Kasi Vision can report that Senzwa Projects management have met their side of the bargain, and the workers have been paid.
Senzwa Projects construction workers who were building the Eskom substation in Vulindlela downed tools recently after complaining that their salaries were not fully paid by their employers. The workers said they only received a portion of what they had worked for. One of the workers, who are paid fortnightly, said they bosses did not even tell them why they were not paid the full amount. Bambana Management, the company which hired Senzwa Projects, had to bring their own workers to carry on with the building of the substation. Senzwa Projects were hired as a subcontractor to build the substation. Gavin Grobler, site manager at the project, was adamant that “Bambana Management had

Safe circumcision expected this season It is spring and the summer season is coming in thick and fast; what with the matric exams also being around the corner. Culturally, all this means is that the initiation ritual season is also upon us. While the Xhosa boys are wont to go to the bush and their Sotho counterparts taking refuge in the mountains, the fact is both seclusion havens can be very hot in the Cape summer’s heat. In view of past deaths in seclusion brought on by a multitude of factors, the Western Cape Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Anroux Marais, has announced that the province will
not tolerate a single loss of life for any of the boys involved. She was speaking at the Western Cape Initiation Forums (Wcif) at a consultative meeting in Stellenbosch last weekend. Buoyed by the fact that no fatal casualties were reported during this past winter initiation season, she said: “The past winter initiation season has shown that all stakeholders managed to work better together. “(There were) zero fatalities and no hospitalisation incidents were reported.” She said this was a season that results in such tragic and unnecessary loss of life in
many parts of the country. “Through our partnerships, we have kept the number of incidents of harm to initiates at zero. Zero deaths, and zero hospitalisations mean people can live their culture in a safe and conducive environment.” She revealed that if the practitioners followed the prescripts of the Initiation Framework and Protocol document, these ideals could be achieved. The criteria to be followed, she said, were that traditional surgeons must be older than 40 years to be registered, that they may not perform circumcisions if not registered with the
initiation forum and without training. They may also not perform any circumcision when drunk, and that the area to be cut around the skin is hygienic and clean. Ingcibi are also required to assist amakhankatha during the first eight days. All casualties must be reported to the initiation forum, and initiates must be evacuated to ensure that proper treatment is provided by a medical doctor. The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport offers regular training, which includes first-aid, fire and environmental management and skills development.

CPUT students get serious about their brew Some 200 hours of preparation, mountain hikes with alternative healers and consultations with everyone from rastas to traditional healers, helped CPUT win a coveted intervarsity brewing prize recently. Food technology students at the university earned the top prize in the annual SAB Intervarsity Brewing Cup for the second year in a row. Entrants had to incorporate African herbs into their brew and judges commended the CPUT team for their “Tipsy Inyanga” beer. The beer is touted as having a “citrus aroma with a liquorice palate that lingers on the mouth with a crisp buchu finish”, said CPUT spokesperson Lauren Kansley. The CPUT team managed to incorporate
the tricky buchu herb into the recipe despite being pre-warned that it may prove too bitter for the average beer drinker, Kansley said. The recipe also included naartjie, sweet root (a liquorice flavoured plant), wheat and malt. Team CPUT captain, Brian Gomes-Sebastiao, said they spent in excess of 200 hours refining the recipe in the brewery. They consulted rastas, religious leaders, traditional and alternative healers to find the best, “under-appreciated” ingredients. “I went for a mountain walk with alternative healer, Sister B, and she showed me the sustainable way of harvesting the plants – which is not to pull the whole plant,
but to take only a third,” said Brian. “Thanks to her assistance we also used a buchu concentrate instead of buchu leaves for the recipe.” In 2014 the CPUT team used rooibos as a key ingredient in their brew and walked away with the “Ben Lamaletie” IBD Intervarsity Beer Brewing Challenge Floating Trophy. They’ve also won the top honour Castle Lager Best Bru Award, as well as the Carling Black Label Champion Lager. This year they also scooped third place in both the Carling Black Label category and the Hansa Pilsner Most Refreshing label for their bottles of “Brewmaster’s Daughter” and “Tipsy Inyanga” respectively.
The CPUT food technology team won first place in the SAB Intervarsity Brewing Cup for the second time. From left are Lloyd Carney (student), Food Technology lecturer Dr Zanephyn Keyser, Gareth Williams (student), Ryan Morkel (student) and Brian Gomes-Sebastiao (student).

Heritage Day, Visionlanders speak Heritage Day is around the corner, but the glaring fact is that 21 years after the attainment of democracy in our country, South Africans seem as divided as ever. What with students at institutions of higher learning still fighting for language parity. Kasi Vision writer Velani Ludidi took to the streets of Lwandle to ask questions about our ‘common heritage’.
Khanyolwethu High School learners on stage
High Schools excel at festival The 2015 Artscape High School Drama Festival competition produced winners who were announced on 22 August. The 16 finalist schools, selected from over 60 entries, spent four action-packed days presenting their extraordinary drama projects. Supported by Die Burger and the HCI foundation, the festival was initiated and coordinated by Artscape’s educational youth development programme. It aims to promote social cohesion, good citizenship and empowerment through the arts. The Festival is a catalyst
for young people to express themselves creatively how they see South Africa and Africa, across cultural barriers. Sedrico Husselman, Artscape’s School Liaison Unit Coordinator said: “This is a momentous occasion with so many groups participating and I would like to thank all the judges, teachers and artists for what they have done and it is a great honour for us to open our doors to the groups.” The overall winners are Sinelizwe Bhuza from Khanyolwethu Secondary School for best actor, including Phaphama Magagana from the same school.
MUSA MGQUBA:Heritage Day is for individuals to celebrate their ethnicity. Celebrating your ethnicity reflects a respectful and humbled personality. Now, we are exposed to certain universities that lessen the effect of education via the tool of language. This clearly shows that to some people Heritage Day is not an inclusive celebration of cultures and the acknowledgement of our diverse society. If we shared the same respect for our respective cultures, we would have had a better understanding of one another.

YAMNKELA MATOLENGWE:Heritage Day should be selfembracing. Most of our customs and rituals are being influenced by the Western culture, even our communication displays how the Western world is having an impact on our language. In light of the language barrier at a predominantly Afrikaans institution, its not nice, because this limits your social interaction even though my Afrikaans has improved.
FUMANEKILE ZOLEKA:I do not think that Heritage Day should be about celebrating/embracing only my culture or tradition, rather it should also respect and celebrate that of others too. We are a country of many cultures, and we need to celebrate those also.

Kits for teams Sikhusele Security has thrown the game of football a lifeline after they sponsored Classic FC and Poco FC with soccer kits at a ceremony held at the ACJ Phakade stadium recently. They said this was done to
encourage the teams to unearth new talent in eKasi. The company said the only benefit they’d want to derive was for the two teams to excel to great heights in the game and thereby make the sponsorship worthwhile.

Fast 11 brought to a halt

It was jubilation all around for players, coaches, teachers and spectators when ACJ Phakade Primary School girl’s soccer team won on penalties, beating Ekuthuleni Primary School from Kraaifontein in a friendly match. ACJ Phakade is one of the first primary schools in the area to establish a girls only team. This was because school teachers believed that it’s important for the girls to be involved in sport to keep themselves busy. On the day of the match, all staff came out in numbers to support their charges. To most of the girls, soccer is something new and some used to believe that it is only for boys. Now that they are playing they want to challenge that mentality and encourage other girls to play. It was clear though that these girls were still learning how to play football, because they
were not clear about their positions. The ACJ outfit seems to have the respect of their peers in this region, as they must still record a loss. After the match was drawn 1-1 at the final whistle, the teams went into penalty shootouts. Ultimately ACJ emerged victors and recorded a 5-4 win. Masixole Mbanjwa, a coach and a teacher at ACJ Phakade Primary School, said he saw a need to motivate the girls to be involved in sport and he’s happy that his team won. “I’m happy to win, though it was not a good game. I’m also happy because we are the first school to establish the girl’s team and we always win the league. “It’s a challenge to coach the girls because parents do not like it. Some do encourage them, some don’t trust that they can play soccer. Parents don’t even come and support them when they play. I always tell them sport is good and healthy,” he said.

ning the junior’s league. “These boys love football, some would come and play whether hungry or not. I told them to focus and play the game and watch out for their opponents. “A win means a lot to them, as it motivates and boosts their confidence. I’m glad that we’ve won this game today, it means more points and going up on the log. I’m happy for them too and they are happy, you can see their faces,” he said.
Helderberg Cosmos and Fast 11 u-13, both up on the log, played their league match at Nomzamo Stadium. When these two meet there’s always that kind of do or die, because none wants to give in to the other. And they always find it so difficult to beat each other because of the same level of playing and dedication from all the players. Seeing them playing was interesting, because they were oozing that sense of dedication and love of football. Through trial and error, Cosmos managed to score first and Fast 11 seemed disappointed with this development. Unfortunately it was not their day, though they played well. Cosmos repeatedly scored goals and they literary trashed Fast 11 by 6-0. Cosmos felt so good and proud of their achievement. Cosmos coach, Monde Nkukwana, said he was happy to win because they were moving up the log and they stood a Cosmos u-13 trashed Fast 11 60 in a league match recently. better chance of winPHOTO: MARTHA QUMBA
