The easier, the harder to doWhat do we advise the youth? When Isay ‘we’ I refer to those that have passedthat staged. We can never be youth again.Whether we like it or not, that stage isgone. It can never come back.So, what legacy do we leave behind? I

know it is difficult to advise the youth oftoday. They won’t listen to you. They willlook at you and say, “What have youachieved yourself?”And if you haven’t, you will recoil. You

will say nothing. But you want to saysomething. You want to tell them not torepeat the mistakes you made. You madeplenty. You thought the world was inyour pocket.But it wasn’t. It showed you what is

was. It was more than you, with its laws.And your ego was buttered. And youlearnt your lessons. And you do not wantthose behind you to repeat them.You want to advise them. You are a

nice guy. You are fair. And you mean it.What will you say to them? Is thereanything you can say? I can say plenty.The first thing I can say is: know whatyou want.You may laugh and say this is rubbish.

But for those who know, that is a prem-ise for success. The premise for successis to know what you want. Oh yeah,that’s the first premise. It sounds easy.Everything that sounds easy is difficult

to implement. Because it is easy. Easythings don’t come easy. We ignore them.We say, “I don’t want that. I know what Iwant!” If you do, why don’t you do it?Because it is difficult to implement.And you miss your opportunities. And

you fail all the time. And wonder why.You think you are bewitched! We like tosay that. After all we are black. Webelieve outside powers are powerful thaninside ones.If I know what I want, nothing can stop

me. It may take time, but nothing canstop me. You can come with yourcharms, but they won’t stop me. I amunstoppable. I know what I want!That’s my power. My power is that I

know what I want. Young people shouldknow that. This is their weapon. Theyshould know what they want. When theydo, nothing can stop them.It may take time. Good things take

time. But never, never give up!This is my advice to the youth as they

celebrate June 16. Know what you want.What do you want? Ask yourself.Search. Find out. Write it down. Or,

have it as a movie in your mind.Play it all the time. Let it be your life.

Because what you want is your life. Anddon’t share it with fools. Fools willdiscourage you.Stay positive.

A place of spiritual connectionsMBONGISENI MASEKO

A platform given to those who arecaught up in drugs and thus commitcrime was welcomed with open hands

in Khayelitsha.Masters of Arts and Prosperity in partner-

ship with Khayelitsha Religious Forum hasembarked on a journey to help residents,mostly the youth, to turn their ways aroundand kick the habit of drug addiction and tostay away from criminal activities.

The organisations host breakfast meet-ings with all the affected youth and encour-ages them to find solutions towards a clean-er life.

The programme, known as The Holy Or-der of Shetaut Neter, invites them for spiri-tual classes on Mondays and Fridays.

The order was established in 1985.It involves the philosophy of Kamau, an

ancient Egyptian. They also have a holybook titled Metu Neter (Divine Word).

Maliviwe Mazeke, the leader, said theyhave about 50 members in Khayelitsha, whohave shown a “positive interest” in the onehour programme.

Mazeke, said during sessions, they spendabout 30 minutes focusing on spiritual les-sons through which they encourage and mo-tivate members to reconnect with God spiri-tually.

The recruits are also given an opportunitytopray for themselves andopen their spirits,heart and mind realms.

“We spend 10 minutes in the prayer. Andthereafter, we spend 20 minutes servingbreakfast to the former criminals and drug-

addicts who want to change their lives. Theyare very positive about the programme andthey say they want to change for the good.They also told us that there are many otherswho are keen to change, but they do notknow the first step to take. They are happyabout the approach that we use. They do notfeel judged and they participate in findingsolutions,” Mazeke said.

The organisations also seeks to addressthe challenges that cause them to get in-volved in drugs and crime.

Mazeke also said their ultimate goal wasto see members being able to take ownershipof the processes, so they will be able to helpothers still struggling to live a clean life.

The organisation was introduced to the ar-ea 2014.

Mazeke also said the provincial Depart-ment of Social Development and Depart-ment of Community Safety were also keento be part of the programme.

Happyboy Sonyati, 31, one of the young-sters that attend the breakfast classes, said

he has learnt a lot about the spiritual sideof life through the programme.

“My aim is to seek spiritual enlighten-ment and good behaviour.”

He said they have also learned anger man-agement, apologising and admitting whenthey have wronged someone else.

History and culture are also part of thecurriculum, he shared.

The classes are held at the Site B Commu-nity Hall opposite Nonkqubela Link Mallfrom 9am.

Corrupt policeofficer arrestedSPINDOG MOTSAMAI

A Nyanga policeman has beenarrested for extortion and cor-ruption after he held a man atransom and demanded R2000 torelease him.The 37-year-old constable was

arrested on Friday after he wasreported to the Directorate forPriority Crime Investigation.“It is alleged that on 1 June

2015 the member attended to acomplaint of domestic violence.The suspect was not arrested,

but the police member demand-ed money to release him.Police said that the cop was

paid R500, and on 08 June theOfficer allegedly arrested thesuspect but did not documenthis particulars, and instead de-manded R2000 from the suspect

where-after he was released,”said Van Wyk.It is alleged that the suspect

did not have the full amount re-quested andoffered to pay the ininstalments, but then reportedthe matter to the DPCI.“A trap was set for the Police

Officer tomeet himat the PoliceStation, where the remainder ofthe cash would be handed overto him.The 37year old Police Officer

was immediately arrested andis in custody.He will appear in court dur-

ing this week,” said Van Wyk.Van Wyk urged community

members to report all cases ofcorruption and extortionwhere-after a full investigationwill be conducted to identify theperpetrators.

Death robs a soul, not memoryMCEBISI SIKWATSHA

On 10th June 2015 at the Lingelihle Hos-tels, Gugulethu lost one of its dearsons, Mzwandile Tobias Poswa.

He succumbed to a natural illness. Deathhad robbed Gugulethu of one of its pioneersfor freedom.Tobias was a true son of the soil, an indi-

vidual passionate about the plight of his peo-ple.A daring dancer from Luyolo centre, ip-

antsula lomhlaba is nomore. A soccer lover,soiled in the true traditions of non- racialsport, he fought and believed during thedark days ofApartheid that therewill be “nonormal sport in an abnormal society”.In that he held the non-racial banner un-

der the National Sports Congress high to-gether with some of his colleagues like Pil-lay Mati, the late ‘Sto’Jaxa, Tito Ndamoyi,and Dayi Matshaya Plaatjie to name but

a few.In Section 3, Tobiaswas one of the key peo-

ple in the Thembisa Football Club, in everysoccer match that Thembisa played in thosedays, you would find Tobias on the touchlines, cheering them on.He participated in the structures of the

United Democratic Front at the time andwhen theANCwasunbannedhe becameoneof those founding members of the DorothyZihlangu Branch in Gugulethu.Tobias was a very keen debater, whether

it was in politics or soccer, never ready tolose an argument, he was an ardent support-er of Kaizer Chiefs Football Club.Take a walk down to Cash’s Place and ask

Mvathuli or Paki whether as Orlando Pi-

rates supporters theywere ever able to over-whelm Tobias in a debate, and the replywould be a resounding No!.

Devout ANC manHewas an honest human being in whatev-

er he believed in, he later became chairper-sonof theANCbranch inWard 44 of theANCFlorence Beshenga Branch.At the same time he was the Chairperson

of the Committee where he stayed at Linge-lihleHostels. Hewas also actively coordinat-ing the Backyarders Movement in his ward,fighting for decent houses.A devout member of the African National

Congress, Tobiaswas selfless inwhateverhedid, and was a true example of a commit-ment to better the lives of our peoplewithoutexpecting material gain.A rare species in our days where almost

everybody wants to do everything for mate-rial gain.A true cadre committed to the noble cause

of freedom. A beacon from theworking classhas ceased to breathe.Gugulethuand indeed theAfricanNation-

al Congress have become poorer with hisparting.Mhlabandini awoneli!As people who have worked closely with

him over the years, we say “Death be notproud.”Tobias’ legacy will live on! We challenge

death’s pride because we know that even asit visit its wrath on all who live, it can nevererase the memory of a person like “Bhaji”.We challenge death’s vengeful pride be-

cause we know that whatever it might do itcan never remove from our hearts the mem-ories of our dear comrade Tobias.

Death, we fear you notI stand up to tell death that our black

mourning dress is not a tribute to its venge-ance, but a sign of eternal respect to his con-science of courage. Millions of other SouthAfricans know that a cause as just as the onethat Bhaji stood for, can never be defeated.In our journey of life this is a painful epi-

Mam’ Biki takes a leap of faithZILA MKONTO

After many years spent in theclassroom moulding the fu-tures of young learners,

Faith Bikitsha has decided to swappedagogy for entrepreneurship.Instead of the white chalk, she

now dirties her hands with blackrubber.Bikitsha is now the proud owner

Biki Tyre and Wheel AlignmentCentre right in the heart of Khaye-litsha.A veteran of 15 years in the

teaching proffession, mostly spentat UsasazoHigh School, she has lit-erally taken a leap of faith into theunknown territory of a businessdominated bymen, both as ownersand workers.Bikitsha was the head of depart-

ment of Life Orientation studies atthe school.“I wanted a new challenge in

life.”She said teaching was her voca-

tion, but even so classroom weari-ness does set in, and she could nolonger continuewith her first love.“I loved educating children, but

whenclassroom fatigue hit me, Ithought let me do justice(to thechildren) by quitting.”She says her new business,

though, still means she is in con-tact with the community.“I love being involved in peoples

lives and thiswill also allowme thespace to preach road safety,” sheshared.The newly established business

offers complete wheel service and

alignment.“We offer clients exceptional val-

ue-for-money, high standards ofservice delivery and innovative so-lutions in tyre and wheel align-ment,” she said.She said they have even intro-

duced the new Techno Vector 7

Alignment Machine.“That’s the latest 3D wheel

aligner. The machine vision sys-temcan include four cameras,” sheexplained.A faster learner herself, Bikitsha

spews technical terms like a sea-

soned mechanic.“I love cars and I adapted quick-

ly to the terminology that’s usedhere,”she offered.Complimented by five hard-

working employees, NtomboxoloMdedezane, Yoliswa Dludlu, Mzi-

masi Piyose, Siyabulela MkangisaandMawethuMbotho, thecentre isalready buzzing.“Understanding our target mar-

ket serves us well. We cater for theclientwhowants to choose afforda-bility over brand,” she enthused.

Flooding reduced in kasisThe Urbanisation Department of the City’sHuman Settlements Directorate hasworked tirelessly to put in place measuresto reduce flooding, especially during thewintermonths, in low-lying informal settle-ment areas. These interventions includethe creation of hardened gravel platformsand rolling out the City’s re-blocking pro-gramme in areas where this is possible.With the help of residents and our non-

governmental partners, the City plans to in-crease these interventions in the comingmonths.‘The innovative flood mitigation meas-

ures that we have rolled out in a number

of informal settlements have improved theliving conditions of our more vulnerableresidents by, for instance, creating gravel-hardened platforms to which residents canrelocate from low-lying flood-affected areas.These interventionsarealreadyyielding re-sults with less extreme flooding being expe-rienced in these areas.‘While this intervention is not possible in

all informal settlements, it is encouragingthat the department is aiming to roll it outin as many settlements as possible. Successhas already been achieved in informal set-tlements such as Green Park and Los Ange-les.

Investing in arts for the young mindsSafika, one of South Africa’s most trust-

ed investment houses, have elected tobe a part of the Artmode initiative in

bringing the education behind art and crea-tivity to young minds.Artmode is a talent driven event that in-

vites the public to view both acclaimed andup-and-coming artists perform their workslive in the spirit of sharing knowledge andsupporting artists in making a business outof their artwork.Safika is set to take 40 schoolchildren from

Kulani Secondary School and another 40fromSiyazingisaPrimarySchool, to theven-ue of the second edition of Artmode wherethey will get a guided tour of the exhibitionand participate in workshops facilitated byBloemfontein-born artist Atang Tshikare.Tshikare has taught art all over the world

and is known internationally for his abilityto develop creativity in young people.“Children in South Africa’s poor areas get

little exposure to art because schools veryrarely have the resources to teach it,” saidMoss Ngoasheng, Safika’s chief executive.“Yet art enriches the human spirit; childrenneed to be given the opportunity to know

about this part of life.”Ngoasheng said that he would like to see

children fromunderprivileged backgroundshave the opportunity to become artists andart curators and administrators.“We need a skilled new generation who

will understand the vital need South Africahas to preserve its heritage and proudly dis-play its art.Who knows, perhaps one of the children

we help to see an art exhibition for the firsttime, will one day be a famous artist or headof the national gallery.”The second edition of Artmodewill be tak-

ing place the evening of the 21st of May 2015at The Palms in Woodstock while the Safikasponsored school tour will take place pri-vately the week after.The venue will also be open to the public

for the week after the event with unsold art-work on display still available for sale.

Dancers to raise funds for sterilisationA group of local dancers and artists will

come together on stage to raise fundsfor animal sterilisation in theWestern

Cape.They’ll be performing at Dancers Love

Dogs (DLD) at the Artscape Opera House onSaturday 20 June.DLD founder, Brigitte Reeve-Taylor, star-

ted the annual show in 2012 as a “randomact of kindness” and has since brought hun-dreds of dancers together to change furry li-ves. Since its inception, this not-for-profitorganisation has raised over R1 Million andsterilised approximately 6500 animals.The journey began when Reeve-Taylor

rescued a puppy from alongside a busy hi-

ghway and discovered, on her journey tofind help for the animal, the miserable exis-tence that homeless animals endure on thestreets of Cape Town and its surroundingcommunities. Sterilisations, over time,make an enormous difference in reducingthe numbers of strays and unwanted dogs inour society. The money raised by DLD alsofinancially assists ownerswhowant to steri-lise their pets but find the cost too high.This year’s DLD show will be MC’d by

Brendan vanRhyn, who starred as Frank-N-Furter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent pro-duction of The Rocky Horror Show.The rest of the line-up includes CapeTown

City Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama, Vad-

hini IndianArtsAcademy,Ashley andBrad-ley Searle, the EOAN Group, Art in Motionfrom Johannesburg and Ananada Fuchs,amongst many others. There will also be aspecial appearanceby theSAGuideDogsAs-sociation, and Bob the “Frenchie” fromSABC3’s Expresso Show.Tickets for the show cost R250, which

equals the cost of two thirds of one sterilisa-tion, and are available at Computicket. Visitwww.dancerslovedogs.weebly.com formoreinformation.V Sponsors are needed to donate prizes for the luckydraw.

URyan Muller noLucinda Lesar,abaphathi ababambiseneyobakwiGaraji yakwa-EngeneseChelsea Village,eWynberg

Ziya kusoloko zikho izikhalazo xa kucetywa uphuhliso olutsha, kodwake utshintsho lungawuphakamisa umgangatho weendawoezikufutshane nalo ndawo lwenzeka kuyo uphuhliso olo. Kwenzekileoku kwezinye iindawo apho kukho iinkonzo zeMyCiTi. Siyathemba -kwaye silindele – ukuba oku kuza kwenzeka naseWynberg.

Kukho umahluko ocacileyo phakathi kwendawo ethuleyoyaseChelsea Village, nalapho ikhoyo igaraji yethu, kwakunyenendawo exineneyo engakwindawo yezothutho yotshintshiselwanoyaseWynberg, ngokuqinisekileyo abantu abaninzi, kuquka nabatyeleli,bayibona njengendawo eyoyikekayo.

Malunga ne-70% yabasebenzi abasebenza kwigaraji yethu basukaeKhayelitsha baze bakhwele uloliwe okanye iteksi xa besiyaemsebenzini. Abanye kubo kufuneka bakhwele iiteksi ezintathuukuze baze kufika apha. Amaxesha amaninzi bafika emva kwexeshalokungena emsebenzini, bebeka izizathu zokulibaziseka koololiwe,ngamanye amaxesha ukwaphuka kweeteksi endleleni.Akuthandabuzeki ukuba iMyCiTi iza kulunceda ushishino lwethukwanolunye kule ndawo, ukuze lusebenze ngendlela egqibeleleyo,njengoko abasebenzi abaninzi beza kukwazi ukufika apha ngokululanangokukhawuleza.

Kukho izikolo ezisixhenxe kwindawo yethu, kwaye abafundi abaninzibahamba ngezithuthi zikawonke-wonke ukuya kwezi zikolo besukakwiindawo ezahlukeneyo eCape Flats. Ziihambo ezinde neziyingoziezi, ezikwaziyo ukuthatha ukufikelela kwiiyure ezintathu ngosuku.I-MyCiTi iza kubafikisa ngokukhawuleza nangokukhuselekileyo ababafundi ezikolweni, nanto leyo eza kubanika ixesha elongezelelweyolokwenza imisebenzi yabo yesikolo kwakunye neminye imisebenzieyenziwa emva kwesikolo – kananjalo nexesha elingaphezulu kunyeneentsapho zabo emakhaya.

Ukufikeleleka ngokulula kwindawo yethu kuza kuxhamlisa nabanyeabantu abaninzi. Abatyeleli kunye neendwendwe abafuna ukuthengakwiindawo eneevenkile, ukusebenzisa ithala leencwadi okanye ukuzakwimisitho emininzi eseMaynardville – okanye ukuya kuphumla njeePakini yaseWynberg – baza kukwazi ukufikelela apho ngokukhawuleza,ngokukhuselekileyo nangokufikelelekayo ngokwasemalini.

Xa iqala ukusebenza inkonzo yeMyCiTi, iindlela ezisecaleni kweendlelaezinkulu zeebhasi ziya kukhuseleka kuye wonke umntu, nakubaqhubingokwabo. Oku kubangelwa kukuba iibhasi ziya kuhamba kwimiqoloyazo yabucala ebomvu kwaye, siyathemba, ukuba ziyobe zingasahambi

Sikulinde ngolangazelelo ukubona indlela abaza kuxhamla ngayobonke abantu abahlala nabasebenza eWynberg ngenxa yeMyCiTi.

Education fails economyThe unemployment rate for the ages 25 to35 is sitting at about 48%.Our unemployment rate is the third

highest in the world after that of Greeceand Spain. This simply means that morethan eight million of our young citizensare not employed. Out of those, 47% don’thave matric.Only 8% of university students com-

plete their degrees, and the majority ofthem are young black women.Our economy needs skilled employees,

so we must start to fix our educationsystem. Colleges and universities need tostart producing relevant qualificationsthat are needed by the economy. We needmore engineers, plumbers and account-ants. The focus must also be on givingpeople skills in renewable energy, waterdistribution and sanitation. Also, oureconomy is growing at less than 2% and

it’s unable to create new jobs.Our education system needs to change

and start to promote entrepreneurshipeven at primary school level. We need acurriculum that will encourage the youthto be self-employed.Our economy needs new industrialists

and innovators who will help to createnew jobs. We also need a youth unem-ployment summit to try and find solu-tions. I believe that those who don’t havejobs can come up with solutions to theirproblems.I don’t believe that young people have

any reason to celebrate Youth Month.The young people of 1976 were activistswho fought for their rights. The youth oftoday must wake up and fight for whatthey want.

ICC harassment must stopI really believe that the view to arrestal-Bashir by the International CriminalCourt in the boarders of SA is undermin-ing the agenda of African Union.I believe if International Criminal

Court(ICC) wanted to arrest him, theyshould do so in South Sudan and nothere in South Africa.the African Union(AU) should not be

quiet about this harassment of its headsof states.South Africa should not be used as a

tool to undermine the agenda of “UniteAfrica”.The foreign court should find its own

ways and means to locate and arrest theperpetrators of international law.Even this urgent court interdict

against al-Bashir in the Pretoria highcourt was a method used to defer Africa

from uniting the continent.The African Union must be vocal and

protect al-Bashir and many others whoare violated by this ICC.Besides, its only African leaders who

are always arraigned before this Interna-tional Court. In the Middle East, thePalestinians die daily at the hands of theIsraeli government, but nobody seems tocare. When people died in Afghanistanin the hands of American soldiers, didPresident Bush get persecuted. Not.The question is why not. Until the

Africa Union stamps its feet, this harass-ment of African leaders will continue.I trust that incumbent SADC chairper-

son Robert Mugabe will speak outagainst this.

Corruption: Zuma should as he saysI liked the speech President Jacob Zumamade at the World Economic Forum onAfrica in Cape Town.I raise this personally as a taxpayer

who has to pay my hard earned cash tocorruption.I hope all those who have corrupt

tendencies will not just read that state-ment, but will adhere to it.I am particularly referring to the

Police Minister Nathi Nhleko, who

publicly insulted all taxpayers.But he ruled that the cattle kraal and

chicken run at the president’s homewere part of the security features forwhich the president doesn’t have to payfor. I hope the president meant what hesaid on corruption in the presence ofworld leaders.

TORNADO BIKOKhayelitsha

OPINIONlukhanyo mangona

Downgrading of ourlanguages improperI have been pre-occupied with the poorperformance of Africans in the Mathe-matics, Sciences and Commercial sub-jects.for some time now.African children prevail in humanity

subjects and are confined in these careerspaces whilst their counterparts thrivein other well-paying careers.If black children were in some imagi-

nary place but having a fly-in-the-wallview of events, they would surely chooseto be in a white family reproductivesystem.Black children grow up in households

that have low knowledge and languagedevelopment spaces.Black children in rural areas are

grounded in the knowledge of theirlanguage of birth and learn nuances ofthat language as they grow in theirfamily.They develop a rich vocabulary but

unfortunately that pre-school learningremains in the sidelines of their econom-ic activity when they become older.Similar experiences do happen to

learners in urban black townships,unfortunately the language richness isdiluted as the urban spaces were de-signed to weaken home groundedknowledge.These children are not born in families

that are knowledge, language and textrich. The kind of learning they receiveat home is limited to the survivalisttactics, as one academic pointed out.The learning is largely behaviourist as

learning psychology theory explains.Juxtapose this with white kids who areraised in families of professionals andare in environments that are moreeducational.What I read in academia is that

learners use their home languages as thelanguage of instruction for the first fourgrades. Then they change the languageof teaching and learning to English. Thisis the second exclusion that is presentedto the black child. The first being awatered down language instruction,being English First Additional Language-whilst their counterparts do largely

English Home Language.During the transition, the learners are

then taught any conceptual subject inEnglish.Whether the books in these subjects

are written in first additional or HomeLanguage English I am not sure but trytaking your Mathematics or NaturalScience grade 4 textbook and you will bethe judge.What this proves is that our children

are given an unfair chance in life bymerely being born with a dark skin.The argument pushed by academics is

that African languages are not welldeveloped for academic use.There’s limited literature on the

development of Swahili for instance as alanguage of instruction in Tanzania.My visit to that country cemented in

my memory that Swahili is respected inthat country, unlike this patronising oflanguages in this country by using themas translation tools.No doubt other factors had to be

factored in to the debate for poor per-formance of black children but it hasdawned on my mind that the language isa colonisation tool that is being used tocontinue to further the “othering” ofblack people.The question we are going to wake up

and answer one day is “why did we letthe structural and unjust discriminationof black children go unchecked.The signs are there because in the

township children are left to wheelaround dustbins to sell scrap withnothing meaningful to do and are only adanger to ourselves.In universities children are starting to

ask crucial question about why we havebeen celebrating people who had beenmaking us sub-human for centuries.

Sick boy nearly misses grantBARBARA MAREGELE

Luxolo “Nana” Ntsantsa was left para-lysed from the waist down after a gun-man killed his mother and left him for

dead in their small shack in Site C, Khayelit-sha nearly a year ago.Following interventions spearheaded by

the team at the Iris House Children’s Hos-pice, there is hope that nine-year-old Nanacould regain mobility and one day walkagain.

For the past few months, Nana’s sistersAmy and Thandile Ntsantsa aged 18 and 16respectively, have been caring for him. Na-na’s father (his sisters’ stepfather) left them

soon after their mother’s murder, leavingthem to care for their four-year-old sisterand paralysed brother.“It was school holidays in July and Nana

wasathomewithmymother and sisterSino.He said he tried to defend her(mother), buthe was shot in the leg and spine. Sino wasn’tharmed, but when we came home, she couldtell us how my mother was bleeding,” saidAmy Ntsantsa.

Ntsantsa said they were forced to sendfour-year-old Sino to her aunt in the EasternCape as they often went without food anddidn’t have money to pay her creche fees.Ntsantsa, who is a matriculant at ManyanoHigh School in Khayelitsha, said her daily

regimen consisted of caring for Nana andworrying about his safety when shewas goneduring the day.“Everyday I woke up early, washedmyself,

I washed him andmade him something to eatfor later during the day and then I left forschool. I used to stress at school.When I came home, I first had to change his

(linen) nappy. His one foot was also swollen.We didn’t know what to do,” she said. “It wasso traumatic and painful for us when mymom passed away.She did everything for us. After she died,

we didn’t have money to buy food or pay foranything. My school used to give us 10kg ofrice, mealie pap and samp to eat,” she said.

Thandile became tearful while recountingthe incident and the siblings’ hardship aft-er their mother’s death.

Nana’s sisters, Thandile and AmyNtsantsa at their home in site C, Khayelit-sha.On 14 May this year, one of Iris House’s

care team managers, Zintle, found Nanatrying to wheel himself across an unpavedroad in Khayelitsha.

“After speaking to him, our care teammanager realised how tragic his situationwas. He lives in a child-headed household.His teenage sisters go to school during theday, leaving him to care for himself,” saidIris House Children’s Hospice chairpersonSue van der Linde.According to a 2014/15 report by the

Western Cape Department of Social Devel-opment (DSD), there are currently 119 chil-dren in 39 child-headed households record-ed in the province.This number has increased from 66 chil-

dren in 24 child-headed households in theprevious year.However, Department spokesperson Es-

ther Lewis has attributed the increase toa “better understanding of child-headedhouseholds” and improved monitoring.“The Department provides these familieswith individual counselling, nutritionalsupport, material aid like uniforms, home-work support, as well as referral to ourfunded NGOs that provide a more compre-hensive package like post school support,”she said.Van der Linde said they were touched by

Nana’s story and immediately decided tohelp him and his sisters.“With their permission we brought him

into the hospice and examinedhim.Wedis-covered that he has no feeling from hiswaist down, sohehasno control of his blad-der andbowel. Someone along the line gavehimacatheterwhichhehadbeen changinghimself too,” she said.As a result of Nana of being confined to

a wheelchair all day and poor hygiene, hedeveloped four pressure sores which wereinfected. “Wecalled everyonewedealtwithat DSD and the health department for help.He was then taken to Karl Bremner Hospi-tal and admitted on 20 May.Since then, they have performed two de-

bridement procedures on his wounds. Weput a plea out to the public for assistanceand we have received over R18,000 to dateamong other items,” she said.

Van der Linde said they were hopefulthat Nana wouldmake a full recovery withthe proper treatment and care. “The doc-tors who have examined Nana believe thathe could have full mobility with the righttherapy. So we want to get him the besttreatment possible. He had the first skingraft taken from his thigh which was doneon Friday and is recovering well. We arehoping his rehabilitation will begin in Ju-ly,” she said.“This intervention is not just for Nana,

there are also his sisters to worry about.We’ve opened a separate account and putit into a little saving for the family becausethis is a long term intervention,” she said.Nana’s sister Amy added: “We went to seeNana in hospital on his birthday. I’m sohappy that there are people who saw whatwe are going through and want to help.Since they have been helping us I’m cop-

ing at school now. I really want to do nurs-ing next year,” she said. Thandi said: “Idon’t knowwhat to say because it’s like IrisHouse feels our pain and we are gratefulfor their help.” Van der Linde said that Na-nawas a sad example of how children oftenfell through the cracks of government sys-tems.“We as Iris House couldn’t turn our

backs. He is just an example of a child whohas slipped through the cracks of the sys-tem. Nobody caught this case because itshouldnever have got as bad as it did.Nanacould be bitter; he is everything but that.He just wants to live his life. He is such abrave little man,” she said.Lewis said the Department of Social De-

velopment had been alerted to Nana’splight three weeks ago.“An official from Social Welfare worked

with Iris House to facilitate the process of(Nana’s) admission toKarlBremnerHospi-tal for immediate, emergency interven-tion,” she said.

pringbok icon mournedMessages of condolences from all

walks of life streamed in for one ofrugby’s most capped pioneer black

players during the apartheid era, Springboklegend Thompson “Sandi” Magxala, 73, whodied in Khayelitsha at the weekend.

He played 32 Tests, six of themagainst IRBnations, at a time when Tests were few andfar between, particularly for black SouthAf-ricans.

The South African Rugby Union (Saru)says he was a tough, skilful and agile lockforward who ended his Test career at hook-er. He captained bothWestern Province andthe African Springboks, later known as theLeopards, and was one of the former cap-tains whose handprints were captured inbronze by (Saru) as part of the SpringbokEx-perience Rugby Museum launch ceremony.

“Hewas a great rugbyman. Hewas a lead-er among men and a deserved legend in hiscommunity who always conducted himselfwith authority and dignity,” Saru president

Oregan Hostkins said.“I never had the good fortune to see him

play but from what I have heard he was ahard man on the field with all the skills tohold down a Test place for a decade. He willbe greatly missed.”

TheANCWesternCape, in payinghomageto the rugby legend, saidMagxala represent-ed an era where only sheer force of willwould see a black man achieving even themostmodest of dreams. This is an erawhereblack people worked in places, played onfields and obscure corners that could neverjustify their skills.

“Magxala represented those people whochose to push forward with their aspira-tions, who chose to endure the blatant ra-cism and the shutting of doors in their facesso that at least those who would came afterthem would have it a little easier thanthem,” ANC provincial secretary SongezoMjongile said.

“Hamba Kahle Magxala and we celebrate

his life and his legacy, weighty legacy towhich all of us are called to uphold and em-uate.

“As long as there is still racism in oursportsMagxala’s legacy calls us to action.Aslong as there are still stereotypes and per-ceptions that feed into selections of our play-ers, that determine who rises and who falls,Magxala’s legacy calls onusnever to rest un-til all players are treated equally and fairly.We honour Thompson Magxala and we aregrateful to his family for letting us shareSandi with them.”

Magxala is survived by five children Vuy-elwa, Thulisa, Vuyo, Asanda and Nandi and12 grandchildren andwill be laid to rest nextSuturday.

Thomson Magxala played 32 Tests for SouthAfrica during the apartheid era and had hishandprints captured in bronze at the openingof the Springbok Rugby Museum.

N2 old golfernow joinselite clubMARY­ANNE GONTSANA

GroundUp told Vuyo Sontsonga’s storyin March. He explained his love ofgolf and his hopes to someday be a

club member and take part in golf challen-ges.

The Bidvest Group have paid for Sont-songa’s membership of the King David GolfClub in Montana.

They have sponsored his R4,500 member-ship fee and a further R8,500 unlimitedgreen fees for a year. This means Sontsongacan play more or less whenever he wantsto -- for 12 months.

As we approached Sontsonga on theplush green field of King David Golf Club,he shouted to us, “I’ll be with you now la-dies; just let me hit these two balls.” He posi-tions himself, then hits one ball across thefield, where one of the club’s coaches ob-serves.

Before hitting his second ball, he mum-bles his disappointment at the “poor per-formance” he just gave.

He then hits his last ball, not to his satis-faction, but he points out that it was betterthan the last.

“I officially started here as a member ear-ly May. Remember I used to come here ev-ery Sunday, but now with this membership,I am able to come whenever I want.

My membership is 12 months and I amfinding the experience so far so amazing.It’s no comparison to where I used to play.I am happy because now I can even keepscore and monitor the strength of eachgame I play.

Prior to being interviewed by GroundUp,there had been a man who continuouslysaw me playing on the N2, and after my sto-ry was published on GroundUp, he ap-proached me and offered me help becausehe said he was from a big company. So hespoke to his colleagues and the membershipwas set up for me.

I am so grateful for all of this and I comehere every single day to play. I love golf,”said Sontsonga. Sontsonga said his biggestchallenge now was transport because itwasn’t easy for him to get to the golf club.

He took a taxi from Nyanga and becauseof where the taxi drops him off, he had towalk a distance with his gear to get to theclub and sometimes he does not have taxifare. It takes him an hour to get to the club,he wakes up at 6am, leaves the house before7am and gets to the club at 8am.

“Everyone is proud of me.”
