Employees of the Extended Public Works responsible for the upkeep of streets

and open spaces around the townships of Tshwane are set to doubled-up as baits to catch votes for delegates in the African National Congress Tshwane Region conference next month.

These startling revelations form part of a document; “Discrepancy in ANC Tshwane towards conference” which was leaked by sources within the ANC. The document fingers Tshwane Executive Mayor, Kgosientsho “Sputla” Ramokgopa, as the main beneficiary of votes for the regional conference “unless there is an urgent intervention by President Jacob Zuma.”

“THERE IS a request for intervention,” according to the document, “and investigations about the matter because the Gauteng Provincial leadership is not part of the launching of branches and this might lead to unstable branch operations and loss of membership.

“Councillors are the instruments used to execute policy in the branches. They oversee the processes of hire and fire of desperate comrades in their respective wards. Poor members are given instructions of who to vote for and mandate

to agree to retain regional status quo, while members who disagree are forcefully kicked out.

“Even when people brought along copies of paid up membership in good standing forms as a proof of legitimacy, they were still declined participation. Members from Extended Public Works Program (Vat –Alles) and Rapid Response Unit are being used as voting cows in conferences to support the status quo with the fear of losing their jobs. Even when the Branch General Meeting (BGM) did not form a quorum, desperate measures are done where attendance registers were

signed as agreeing, at members’ homes,” states the document.

“Bouncers and private security companies were being used to lock out those deemed not supporting status quo. It is worse that, election program was a factional campaign that used beneficiaries of Vat-Ales who could not even respond to questions raised by community in case of ANC policies,” further stated the document.

A source who did not want his name revealed told Sosh Times thus; “Branch Executive Committee (BEC) Ward 14 leadership in New Eersterus, under Councillor Joseph “Jojo” Mogale, has been replaced by

people who support Ramokgopa. Those who have been sidelined are being accused for having voted for President Jacob Zuma against Deputy President Kgalema Motlantle during the ANC national conference in Mangaung.

“The power of the Vat Alles was also demonstrated against the former Chairperson of Ward 48 in Atteridgeville who was removed to give space to their favourite Councillor Betty Ringane. Ward 63 Councillor Conference Ntuli, who is former BEC secretary and that of the Zone in Atteridgeville, had his name invisible in the Conference Access List.

“Former Ward 51 chairperson “Chacos” from the Itireleng Squatter Camp in Atteridgeville was forcefully taken out of a meeting about the coming conference recently by the Ike Maditse security people. The casualties in Soshanguve Ward 39 are Ms. Jane Chatsha, Ms. Maria Masangu and certain man known by the name of Comrade Maluleka. Soshanguve Ward 89 Councillor Lucas Ngobeni was pushed away by bouncers.”

At the time of going to press no comment could be secured from Mr Paul Mojapelo, the Tshwane ANC Regional Secretary, his phone remained closed.

AN AFTER school altercation over a phone that has been missing since January 2014, led to a grade 9 learner being rushed to an emergency room and sadly losing part of her tongue after it was bitten off by her fellow classmate.

Mosa Maluleka a Grade 9 learner at Ubuhle –Bezwe Junior Secondary School in

Soshanguve was rushed to Clinic 2 after she was viciously attacked by her classmate, Smangele Mzishi, for allegedly being responsible for a phone that has been missing since early this year..

According to eyewitnesses, Kagiso Makaringi and Boitumelo Mashigoane, the victim was approached by her attacker who taunted and provoked her. An altercation

ensued and before they can make sense of what was happening, the victim’s tongue was bitten off and she was unable to talk.

Makaringi said; “I know for a fact that Smangele has personal issues with Mosa and she said she is going to teach her a lesson not to mess with her. She confronted her and accused her of stealing her cellular phone that has been missing.

“An altercation ensued and everything happened so fast, before we could intervene, it was all over. When I tried to speak to Mosa she was unable to respond, that’s when I realised that her tongue was bitten off,” Makaringi said.

The victim‘s mother refused to speak to SoshTimes and said; “I don’t want to speak to the media as you don’t care about my daughter but only about

gossip”.Later she was heard saying;

“That girl really hurt my daughter, but she is going to get what is coming to her. Nobody hurts my daughter and gets away with it.”

Efforts solicit a communiqué from the Gauteng Department of Education regarding the incident and cellular phones policies at school yielded no response.

Learner’s tongue bitten-off for a phone

IN A QUEST to put the brakes on acts of social ills, members of Dube SAPS and the Winterveldt Victim Empowerment Centre embarked on a campaign to raise awareness about the high levels of drug abuse in the area.

The police station has recorded a high number of children using drugs causing them to engage in unsocial behaviour.

Speaking to Sosh Times, Communication Officer and Social Crime, Sergeant Tembi Nowathe, from the Community Policing Forum (CPF) said that the aim of the campaign is to make people aware how fatal the substance is.

“People abuse substances such as alcohol and other drugs for varied and complicated reasons, but it is clear that our society pays a significant cost on these social ills,” she said.

“The toll for substance abuse can be seen in our hospitals and rehabilitation centres. They have a potential of harmful health effects. Some people are in jail due to the abuse of these drugs”, she added.

She further said that substance abuse in the area is escalating and victims are between the ages of 20 to 35 years. Abusers have caused problems at their homes and the schools they attend.

“With this kind of campaign we want to teach and help those who are victims of these drugs about their real nature and how addiction can ruin their lives,” she said.

“We ran the campaign in Kromkuil and Mashaba areas where we received a number of substance abuse complains. We hope after this programme people will be educated especially about nyaope which is causing sleepless nights to the community,” she added.

S o c i a l auxiliary worker at Dube Victim Empowerment Centre Ms. F l o r e n c e M a m a r e g a n e said that the area is experiencing higher rate of reported cases because of this lack of information.

“ T h e campaign will make people aware of dangers that can be caused by drug abuse. We are concerned about the seriousness of substance abuse and feel that it is important that we educate people about its dangers,” said added.

“Substance abuse is made up of stages. The first stage is the taking drugs t h e m s e l v e s , while the second stage is the boiling stage in which it results in serious crimes, being committed to sustain the habit, “she added.

Mamaregane further said that victims must visit the Victim Empowerment Offices every Tuesdays where they hold workshops to educate the c o m m u n i t y about drugs.

We lament the incident at the Ubuhle Bezwe Junior Secondary School, in

Block G, Soshanguve where Mosa Maluleka, a Grade 9B learner had part of her tongue bitten off by her fellow classmate. Only irrational people can do that, people with satanic thoughts, who are controlled by emotions and have no brains in their heads. The victim was taken to Clinic 2 for treatment. We wish her a speedy recovery. It is not the first incident to occur in the school premises, not long ago a grade 11 learner was stabbed to death at Central Secondary School in Soshanguve. There is a total vacuum in most schools as far as psychological help is concerned. Helping a child who has a problem should not start from the class room but from home. Learners come to school having personal problems from home, unresolved by their parents and they hope to throw away their frustrations on the lap of other people. Parents shun their responsibilities by shifting the load of communicating with their children at home and shifting it to educators at school. These educators also have their own load to deal with. The said parents do not even respond positively to communicate when invited by the educators, they just take the invitation letters to the dustbin. Charity begins at home, let us put a stop to school violence.

We as South Africans are known for our

cultural and ethnic diversity. Complexity and diversity are some of the aspects that connect us. September is a heritage month; we pride ourselves with our cultural rituals and celebrations.

People learn and are influenced by the place and the people around them. In a country like South Africa many people have learned from stories told to them. These stories carry information and ideas about life and shared customs, traditions and memories passed on from parents to children.

Culture refers to the lifestyle of a specific group of people, be it behaviour and norms (such as practising laws and morality), beliefs, values, customs followed, dress style, languages, food and special art crafts. Culture is transferred from generations to generations.

It is always changing as each generation contributes its experience and modern lifestyle throw-out things that are no longer useful to them.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (2002) described culture as follows: “... culture should be regarded as the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.”

How does culture happen?

Culture is not something you are born with. It is learned from family, school, religious teachings, television and media and the government of a country. Advertisements, magazines and movies also play a

powerful part. For example music videos promote a certain style of dress, values, expression and attitude for young people. Many young people like the cool speak of American pop music rather than talking in their home language. Schools and religious organisations also play a big role. Religion has many rituals specific to a particular culture.

South Africa is a rainbow nation because it is made up of so many diverse cultures. Cultural practices are how we talk and behave, special things we do when we have festivals, births and deaths ceremonies. We have groups with different languages, religions, race, customs and traditions e.g. Zulu, Ndebele, Tswana, Khoisan, India, Muslim and Afrikaner people. All of these people are united by being South Africans and all of their ways of life form part of our country’s identity and culture.

It is important to promote and be proud of our South

African culture and identity. This helps South Africans to understand and respect each other and to learn from each other’s cultural practices.

Heritage is also about the practices and customs that been passed on from the family, community and place where people have been raised. For example a person may have grown up in a family of medical professionals or in a proudly Zulu family where the old customs are still followed. This is part of their heritage.

South Africa’s natural heritage is its beautiful environment, art crafts, dance and music. Cultural heritage is formed by those things or expressions that show the creativity of people. These can be special monuments, like a building, sculpture, painting, a cave dwelling or anything important because of its history or artistic value. Rona maAforika Borwa ra ipela ka setso sa rona!!

Embrace your heritageBotaki le setso sa Aforika borwa

Grade 10 and 11 learners from nine provinces of South Africa will are set

to participate in the Nat Nakasa Debate Competition, in Durban.

The two-day debate competition is aimed at educating youth about the role played by journalists during the liberation struggle in South

Africa, what freedom meant to them and how they redefined their ideal South Africa through nation building, social cohesion and moral regeneration.

The competition will be hosted by the Department of Arts and Culture and the Department of Basic Education.

Currently there is also a Nat

Nakasa Exhibition underway at the Oral History Museum in Durban until the end of the year.

The remains of Nat Nakasa, who will be reburied at Heroes Acre in Durban, were successfully repatriated and brought back from New York on 19 August, by a team led by Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa.

The self-acclaimed Native of Nowhere was born in Chesterville, Durban in 1937. He worked for Ilanga laseNatal, Drum Magazine, Golden City Post and the Rand Daily Mail.

He founded The Classic in 1963 with the intention of publishing ‘African Writing of merit’.

The Department of Arts and Culture said Nakasa’s homecoming after 50 years of forced exile has a significant meaning to the people of South Africa in this twentieth celebration of freedom, “as he wrote eloquently about an ideal South Africa that would be democratic, non-racial and socially cohesive”. - SAnews.gov.za

HIGHER EDUCATION and Training Minister Blade Nzimande has welcomed the agreement between Medunsa students and university management which ended a two-week student strike.

The strike started last month at the University of Limpopo, Medical University of South Africa (Medunsa) at the Ga-Rankuwa campus.

Students boycotted lectures for about two weeks demanding the removal of certain lecturers alleged to be failing students.

Nizmande noted that the department and the portfolio committee on Higher Education equally played a part in resolving the impasse.

The Minister also called on students especially Student Representative Councils all over the country to pursue and prioritise negotiations with

management.“Where this approach reaches

a dead end, the department will always weigh in. The option of premature strikes, disruptions of academic lives is as detrimental to the institutional academic calendar as it is to students themselves.

“We are equally engaging institutions like Vaal University of Technology and University of KwaZulu-Natal, where some riots have sprung up. We call for students to be responsible as we encourage real engagement to resolve vexing issues that might be a causal effect of abnormalities,” Minister Nzimande said. – SAnews.gov.za

Modiba's beat onthe environment

withTebogo Modiba

Feature / Environment

Environmental and agricultural success stories show us not only

that sustainability of business is possible, but also how people have made it happen.

We can make these stories and their lessons accessible to people who are not knowledgeable about recycling and farming by revisiting our editorial archives to remind you about some of the achievements people have made through gardening and collecting cans.

Recycling: Two Soshanguve entrepreneurs in glass enterprise

Mr. Lazarus Mahlangu and Mr. Isaac Mashigo both spent more than two years helpless, looking for employment while

witnessing their families suffer from starvation with no hope as the unemployment rate is on a declining trend.

They ventured into glass recycling which they registered with Consol glass to be their members, to get accessibility to a programme where you are a legal glass supplier to the manufacturer.

After months of struggling to find a place to store their smashed glasses, Console donated to them a container to help them keep their product, before they can be dispatched to the manufacturer.

The entrepreneurs collect glass on a daily basis in major stores and some come from residents and tavern owners.

“It takes three weeks to fill up a 10 ton container consisting of a special type of smashed glass,” said Mahlangu

Transportation has been

a challenge for the two entrepreneurs. Distribution costs are at least R700 which is being deducted by Consol for transport and maintenance of a truck, but that did not destroy their enthusiasm to reach their goals or sustain their business.

“We want to see our business grow and create jobs that will empower our youth. Now there is less littering and we have reduced illegal dumping sites around Soshanguve,” said Mahlangu.

Farming: A long history with orange business

Pioneer of Black business, Dr Sam Motswenyane, lamented the fact that agricultural development has been left in the hands of the elderly people but should be made accessible to young people as well. Motswenyane is the co -founder of the Winterveldt United Farmers Association (WUFA),

The organisation was started in 2002, it was realised people were not utilising their land profitably and the existence of WUFA would therefore empower young people to become farmers.

He stated that Young people in Winterveldt need to acquire farming skills because only 5% of the residents are involved in food production, while land for farming is available.

WUFA citrus farms in Winterveldt have 77 000 trees which produce lots of oranges, which are supplied to Magalies

Citrus Fruit and Pick n Pay.These stories illustrate the

experience of entrepreneurial individuals in building small to medium scale businesses through new relationships with consumers and valuable retail partners.

By Tebogo Modiba

The Department of Environmental Affairs has launched a training programme “Working on fire” to

educate the youth from underprivileged communities and skill them to become fire fighters and reduce veldt or forest fires in the Gauteng province.

The aim of the programme is to graft hard each year and train individuals to help when the fire season commences.

The programme’s General Manager, Mr. Avhasei Maswime said; “‘Working on Fire’ is forging ahead to establish re-lationships with Local Fire Protection Associations. Through the partnerships, we can enter into agreement to offer them a well-trained ‘Working on Fire’ team,“ he said.

“The team can be used for the pro-tection and prevention of fire during the critical fire season. They can also assist with fuel reduction out of the fire season by slashing grass,’’ he added.

Maswime further said that these young men and women form veld and forest fire fighting ground crew, sta-tioned at the base around the province to help stop the scourge of wildfires which costs the South African economy bil-

lions of rands annually. “These young men and women form

veld and forest fire fighting ground crew, stationed at the base around the province to help stop the scourge of wildfires”.

Provincial Communication Liaising Officer, Parapara Makgahlela said that veldt fires costs the South African econ-omy billions of rands annually.

“Fire fighters are most successful when wildfires are discovered and re-ported while they are still small. Through early detection and aggressive initial at-tack of wildfires,” he said.

“In August month alone Working on Fire teams fought 73 veld and forest fires across Gauteng province. Through Integrated Fire Management System, there was a need to prevent veld and for-est fires by the use of Working on Fire teams,” he added.

Makgahlela further said the land owners and farmers must create fire belts which is able to prevent and fight veldt fires.’’

“We urge people not to start fires be-cause its is killing life stock and making difficult for pedestrian’s to use roads and we encourage landowners to form Fire Protection Associations where they don’t exit,” he said.

USING THE WORD ENTREPRENEUR

CORRECTLY

We have realized that in STAGE 1 any business person aspiring to be

called an Entrepreneur in the future has to Read, Learn, and Know, understand and have the knowledge of everything you are doing in your business. Set up the Vision, Mission, Value Statement, Quality, Objectives and Goals of the business. Set up the current and future Organisational Structure with which to move the business/Organisation into the desired future. Clarify the execution of the 8 business Functions in complementary to the Organisational structure.

In STAGE 2, the business person has to learn about Management, Administration, Leadership, Communication and Human development. It is important for a business person to know (through training) how to manage People, Money, Equipment, Machinery, Stock and the Market. Managing people means taking interest to your staff to ensure that they are well trained and processes relevant skill to the work they

do. You need to understand that employees have to (financially as well as job related) grow each year during their term of employment in your business. Dealing with employees is not a one size fits all approach. Bad people management resort to one size fits all approach. As a Manager you have to defuse confusion and constant complains within the work environment. When employees constantly go on strike be it legal or illegal, is a sign of a failing management style. Money management ensures that business grows from strength to strength and its cash flow situation improves to meet its needs. Poor management style leads to corruption. Corrupt managers a very poor in their ability to manage themselves and what they are in charge of. You don’t expect production and productivity to achieve profitability when staff has no adequate equipment to perform their duties and tasks. Managers have to ensure that employees are provided well in advance all relevant and necessary

equipment and machinery to deliver the expected target results. Old equipment and machinery must be replaced for the new once in order to get the operation growing and employees performing as expected. It is a laughable act for any business to expect to make money when their stock levels are below thirty percent of their monthly total expenses. It is the duty of every serious and knowledgeable manager to know that business trading stock should be three times more than the business monthly expenses for that business to be able to service its monthly expenses without strain each month. With the right business tools each business manger should be in a position to can calculate the growth of their market share within the given locality. You cannot be a manager and keep guessing your monthly market within your locality and expect to grow.

Administration is all about the management of the flow of documented evidence that circulates from one department

to the other within the business. Day-to-day operations are as important as long-term plans for the future .of your business. Authentic records must be kept regularly as well as on daily basis relating to all business activities. The start point of business information is as good as the end point thereof. As manager you are one way or the other expected to learn Leadership skills. Your responsibility to lead staff, Clients, business resources as well as the market needs a powerful, focused and knowledgeable manger. Communication skills are learned. Bad communication within an environment leads to discontent, low morale and hampers performance greatly. Bad communicators create unbearable and unhappy conditions for all role players. Managers cannot afford to promote gossip and expect staff to promote harmony. Managers with low self esteem cannot build anything to greater heights. The current acceptable management style is that which ensures human capital development. It is a shame for a manager to work with ignorant and unskilled employees and expect to move the business to greater heights. Bear in mind that it takes a business or any operation seven to eight years before it completely closes down. If God be on your side for your foolish acts you will be afforded a grace period to reach ten years. Many businesses are on the down slop trend and managers within these businesses are 100% unaware of the down trend. Many business people are afraid to hire educated and knowledgeable staff because they are ignorant, have no

knowledge of what they are doing in their businesses. These people are a threat to them. That is why if you aspire to be an entrepreneur in the future you need to fulfill stage 1 and stage 2.Employees are not slaves to be paid by food parcels and be given accommodation in your back yard. If you as a business person you are still doing this disgustful acts, be warned this will not last for another five years from the time you read this article. Your actions reflect a business person who will never be called an entrepreneur in the future. My advice to you is change the way you do things in order to add value to yourself, the people around you (staff and clients) and your business image.

SOUTH AFRICA’S improvement of seven pillars in the 2014/15 World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index is an indication of the country’s collective efforts, says Brand South Africa.

The WEF index was released on Thursday and showed that the country has improved in seven of the 12 pillars in which countries are assessed.

South Africa has shown improvement in macroeconomic environment; health and primary education; higher education and training and business sophistication.

Improvement had also been seen in institutions, infrastructure and labour market efficiency.

“It is pleasing that South Africa has improved on these seven pillars. These speak to the success of South Africa’s collective efforts to create the conditions that will lead to improvements in the lives of the citizens of our country,” Brand South Africa Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Miller Matola.

The pillars were aligned with the country’s National Development Plan (NDP) which is the country’s blueprint for eliminating poverty and

reducing equality. “These improvements show

that we are making strides in implementing this plan. We must collectively play our part to continue implementing this plan and improving our competitiveness,” said Matola.

The WEF report assesses the competitiveness of 144 economies and provides insight into the drivers of their productivity and prosperity.

The report remains the most comprehensive assessment of national competitiveness worldwide, providing a platform for dialogue between government, business and civil society about the actions required to improve economic prosperity.

However, South Africa’s performance in the report declined in some pillars including in the area of goods and market efficiency. The country declined in 11 of the 16 sub-pillars in this category which considerations that had impacted on the country include the effectiveness of anti-monopoly policies.

Performance also declined in technological readiness which was influenced primarily by the country’s broadband capabilities.

South Africa now ranks 56 of the 144 countries covered by the WEF Global Competitiveness Index having fallen from 53rd place in 2013/14.-SAnews.gov.za

Improvements in pillars of WEF index a good sign

THE DEPARTMENT of Trade and Industry (DTI) will move decisively to develop bolder instruments to support black industrialists and youth. Delivering the department’s Budget Vote, DTI Deputy Minister Mzwandile Masina said they will develop bolder and sharper instruments to support industrialists and young entrepreneurs.

“One of the yardsticks that can be used to measure the impact of the work of the dti in transforming the economy, as well as broadening participation, is the extent to which black people are meaningfully participating in the economy,” he said.

Work has been done to include black participation in the economy, such as the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which was enacted to advance economic transformation and participation of black people in the economy.

The deputy minister said the BEE Act and its codes were amended last year to close a number of loopholes in terms of dealing with firms that engage in ‘fronting’ and to better align B-BBEE imperatives with the need to promote the industrialisation of SA’s economy.

“Twenty years of freedom has also allowed us to analyse the extent to which real BEE has been achieved. Our sense is that although progress on the whole has been significant, we need to be more ambitious.

“The entrepreneurial, executive and management

talents of black people have not yet been fully unlocked and indeed in some sectors, established firms continue to create barriers to entry for new, black-owned enterprises,” he said.

There is a need to intensify black participation in productive sectors, especially in sectors prioritised in the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP), such as plastics and chemicals.

To facilitate a more meaningful participation of black people in the mainstream economy, the department will look at various ways of developing and sustaining black industrialists.

“I will lead a team that will work closely with the Presidential B-BBEE Advisory Council to develop specific actions in this regard,” said Deputy Minister Masina.

Supporting the youthOne such action will be the

creation of a targeted incentive to support black entrepreneurs entering the industrial sector, including film, and to focus more on the talent support.

Given the challenge of unemployment in the country, the dti has called on the private sector to make use of state instruments to fully participate in the “One Company One Job” initiative. The campaign will be driven by the deputy minister’s office working with business, labour and civil society. Additionally, a range of financial reforms are on the cards to ensure inclusive growth, access and participation.–SAnews.gov.za

His verbal craftsmanship sealed his fate for the day leaving everyone begging for more. Upon handing McKay his prize, Soshanguve Crossing, Cell C‘s Power Station Manager, Mr. Thabiso Molefe said that McKay’s talent was like no other and he was without doubt the deserving winner of the Smartphone.

“To McKay we say, enjoy your prize brother, you deserved it. We urge the community to visit our shop at the Soshanguve Crossing for quality and affordable service,” he said.

1. Welcome to Sports Talk. Can you introduce yourself to Sports Talk readers?Thank you so much. My name is Motsepe Lucas “skio” Tau (58); resident of Orchards; Pretoria.

2. Could you please tell us about your sport and how it all started?

My sport is karate and Taebo. I am the chief instructor/style head of the Funakoshi-shotokan Tae-bo dojo in Orchards. It all started back in 1977 at Mothutlung, in Brits when I did the kyokushing-kai(full-contract) style under sensei Justice Mpofu and shaihan Dave Mas. In 1982 I changed to Shotokan (semi-contact) style under sensei Edward Mtshali. I graded my 1st Dan Black belt-shudan(1985); 2nd Dan black-belt Nidan (1990); 3rd Dan black-belt Sandan(1993); 4th Dan black belt Yondan (1997); 5th Dan-Godan (2001); 6th Dan black-belt Roku (2005) and I’m now due for the seventh Dan. 3. What are some of

the highlights of your career?

Wow; that is a million-dollar question because one has achieved so much in one’s lifetime. Suffice to say, the following could be some of the highlights; namely ; representing world Shotokan Karate champs in Turkey(1988); representing S.A in Seishinkai World karate champs in Osaca (Japan) in 1996; representing South Africa Karate Team in Tokyo-Japan(2004); appointed as a national all-style coach for karate south Africa(KSA) in 2008, National coach for S.A junior and senior teams at the Common-wealth games in Edinburgh; Scotland; and appointed as an International President of Zurkhaneh sport in south Africa(2008) .

4. What are some of the most common challenges you come across in your career?

You know; challenges are many and varied but the most common challenges are lack of suitable

facilities and resources.

5. What is it according to you that makes this sport unique and appealing?

This sport requires a high level of discipline and commitment. With these qualities one becomes a respectable and successful member of the community.

6. Who, according to you, is the best Karate/Taebo of all times?

Internationally it can only be Billy Blanks (Taebo) and locally it must be Edward Mtshali from Kwa-Thema, Springs.

7. How would you want to be remembered?

As someone who has played an indispensible role in making karate and Taebo what it is today, both locally and internationally.

8. Any immediate future plans?

To develop and train as many kids in karate and

Taebo as it is humanly possible; especially those from disadvantaged areas. To produce a few athletes that will represent our country in the next Olympics.

9. If you were not doing what you are doing now, what else would you be doing?

Definitely playing soccer because I’ve captained the Mothutlung Callies Football Club at some point in the past.

10. Any memorable or best fight you ever had to date?

Beating a Japanese champ and winning 3-1 in 1997.

11. There aren’t enough women in this sport. Any particular reason?

I would agree with you there because white women command the highest number in this sport as opposed to their black counter-parts who still feel that karate is a male sport and subscribe to the myth that women

Sports

who play karate would not bear children.

12. Are there any other roles you occupy in the community?

Yes, I’m currently the President for all sports codes of Sub-region 1 in Tshwane; the Deputy President of sports in Tshwane and the executive member of Gauteng karate sports.

THE RECENT car wash fund-raising campaign organised by Mamelodi

Sundown’s Soshanguve North branch in Chris Hani, Soshanguve to help a community member whose house has been burnt down was a step in the right direction, in line with the club’s Ubuntu principle.

When Sibongile Mcina, a resident at Chris Hani lost everything she owned after her house was burnt down early this year, her life became miserable until Sundowns came along to help her out.

“It all happened one night in March early this year when my daughter and I were woken up to see the house in flames and all we could save were the clothes we were wearing. To this day we don’t know what really caused the fire but investigations are under way to ascertain the cause of the fire,” said Sibongile.

Sundowns supporters’ club National Chairperson, Eazy Mampse said that the team’s Ubuntu principle is not just a rhetoric but a reality that seeks to better the lives of the victims of circumstances, irrespective of the teams they support.

“As Sundowns supporters we believe that we are members of the community before we are Sundowns supporters. We therefore owe our love and support to the community from which we come. Our branches are fully empowered to come up with ways and means through which they can develop and improve the lives of the community members for the better,” said Eazy.

According to Sundowns National women organiser, Angela Kubheka, women have a pivotal role to play in the team from singing during games, to mobilise and to discuss issues affecting women in general.

Sundowns’ Chairperson of

Womens’ Forum and Deputy Chairperson of Soshanguve North supporters branch, Sarah Mogapi said the role that women in Sundowns play is very cumbersome but they always rise to the occasion and equal the tasks at hand without fail.

“We promise to do the best humanly possible to help Ausi Sibongile regain her life. God willing and given the amount of pledges from good Samaritans and the Sundowns family in particular. Ausi Sibongile’s house should be renovated and furnished sooner than later,” said Sarah.

Soshanguve North branch supporters club Chairperson said that Sundowns is one of the big teams in the country and it is fitting that the members of the communities from which the team draws its strength enjoy the humanitarian support and assistance from the team.

HLALEFANG MOTLOUTSI netted twice as Eersterus Downs seal a comfortable 3-0 victory over Divas F.C in week 1 fixtures of the HALFA Women’s League played at Kanana Sports Ground, Hammanskraal recently.

The league feature 8 u/15 teams and 9 senior teams, with the games playing at the centralized venue. Downs made their intension earlier on as Hlalefang Motloutsi opened her side account after a brilliant solo effort.

Later Downs thought they had doubled the lead but Kgomotso Nkoana was ruled offside. Divas’ keeper, Mothando Huma was called into action and she did well to deny Dorah Makabole after she was sent through. The visitors kept on putting the home side under pressure and they eventually doubled their lead through well-taken shot from Ashlar Mabanda.

The 2nd goal seemed to have rattled Divas as they started to launch attacks of their own and won free-kick on the edge of the box only for the shot to go straight to the wall. On the stroke of full time, Tshepang Korobele had a chance to pull 0ne back for the home side but her shot went well off target as Downs went to the break with a 2-0 lead.

Downs started the 2nd stanza the same way they started the 1st, with the 1st chance being

a goal mouth scramble but the last shot at goal went over the bar. From then both team failed to create decent chance with Downs seeing much of the ball.

On the half hour mark, Downs were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box and Motloutsi stepped up to calmly slot home to complete her brace. On the stroke of fulltime, Divas were given a chance to redeem themselves after they were awarded a penalty but Korobele sent her shot wide to hand Downs a winning start to their Women’s League campaign. The next fixtures will take place on the 27th September at Darkies Ground, Ramotse.

BRINGING SPORTS NEWS TO THE PEOPLE


By Koketso Khoza

Recently Eersterus Downs Coach Lucas ‘Jero’ Seemise expressed his

disappointment over his senior side after they failed to gain promotion to the SAB Tshwane Region League for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. Downs qualified for the play-offs after an impressive campaign in the Hammasnkraal Local Football Association

senior league which saw them finish at the top of the log.

A win at the play-offs would have saw them joining FC Temba and Mandela Kings as team to be promoted to regional league from HALFA.

“To be honest we came across many challenges going to our preparations to the play-off but still it was quiet a hard pill to swallow having to lose at last hurdle for the 2nd time in 3

years. Our preparation were so unorganised to such an extend that it broke my heart to see that we were not able to prepare as much as we wanted. We could not have training sessions as players were not able to come to sessions especially matriculants who at the time were busy at school,” said Coach Seemise.

The play-offs were played in a round robin format with teams that collected most points

earning spots in the 2nd round. Downs started bad after going down 1-0 in their opening game before playing their 2nd game 1-all. A point from 1st 2 games saw them missing out on the place in the 2nd round. Currently Downs are without a senior team and coach made it clear that a fresh start it’s an option to the Eersterus based side.

“We are trying to get players born from 1995 and have a 3 year plan. Our u/19 side players

are born in 1997/98 so they are a great option and ill start preparing them for our plan. Next season it will be a building process for the senior team and we want to win u/19 league with the same players set to feature in both divisions.

We still competing with all other divisions and that’s a great sign of us having a great foundation in the team,” concluded Seemise.

LEGAL ISSUES and tying –up of paperwork are the only hurdles standing in the way of the Bakgatla-Ba –Mmakau Sports Organisation benefitting from the R500 000 allocated for sports development by the Motsepe Foundation at Mmakau and surrounding villages in the North West Province.

This is according to Mr. Andrew Motlogelwa, who is the Chairperson of the Bakgatla-Ba- Mmakau Sports Organisation. Chairman of the foundation Mr Patrice Motsepe called for the unification of sport organisations in the area in order to ease the funding process.

Heeding the call, all interested stakeholders such as Dikgabo Arts and Recreation, Mmakau Arts Forum, Itireleng

Grannies and Mmakau Youth Development Agency got together and decided to form a single entity with the Bakgatla-Ba Mmakau being the main body.

“All the necessary paperwork have been submitted for funding. We are patiently waiting with abated breath for the completion of the funding process so that we can hit the ground running in order to advance the development of sport in our communities,” said Motlogelwa.

He further stated that; “The funds will assist the whole community without any prejudice as we have formed committees that assesses sporting codes and are in dire need of funding as sports play an important role in the development of healthy and positive youth.”
