HEALTH: SA’S NUMBER ONE KILLER UNDER SIEGE
Tutus donate scannersMBONGISENI MASEKO
TB is recognised as the number one kill-er in the country, and to highlight theseriousness of the disease theDesmond
and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation donatedTen Electrocardiogram machines scannersrecently.The eventwasheld at theGugulethuScout
Hall in NY79 last Thursday.This year’s International World Tubercu-
losis Day (WTBD) was commemorated un-der the theme “Unite to end TB”.The ECG scans are designed to monitor
the function of the heart, while patients areon the medication to end TB.A statment released by the provincial
health department indicates that SouthAfri-ca has the sixth highest TBprevalence in theworld, But the country is numberOne whenadjusted for the population size, and is oneof the 22 high burden countries that contrib-ute approximately 80% of the total globalburden of all TB cases.The event also saw dozens of residents
testing for TB and HIV/Aids on the day.Razaan Bailey, programme manager for
Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Founda-tion, said ECGwill help in finding a solutionto treat TB.“TB is thenumber onekiller inSouthAfri-
ca. 73 percent of peoplewho areHIV positivealso suffer from TB. The archbishop (Des-mond Tutu) also had TBwhen he was youngand he spent a year in hospital undergoingtreatment. It is important that TB patientstake treatment as needed,” Bailey said.In 2014, the Medicines Control Council
(MCC) of South Africa approved the use ofBedaquiline (medication) for the treatmentof certain types of Drug Resistant Tubercu-losis (DRTB).A possible serious side effect relating to
Bedaquilline use is abnormal heart rhythm.Although this is an uncommon side effect
according to the studies, it is still recom-mended that medical practitioners monitorthis bydoingamonthlyECGscan tomonitorthe function of the heart, while patients areon this medication.Dr Jennie Morgan, a family physician at
the Gugulethu Clinic, said the ECG willmake it easy for them to monitor the side ef-
fects of the medication within five minutes.“It is important for residents to check for
TB and stop the spread. It is true that CapeTown is leading when it comes to TB infec-tions in the country. Add the fact that in in-formal settlements, people live closer to eachother and there is a lack of ventilation,” DrMorgan said.Nelisa Gagayi, 31, came in to check her
TB status on the day. “I am here to test forTB, because I heard that it is rife in the coun-try. I want to protect my children from get-
ting infected in case I am diagnosed with it.It is important that people know their TBstatus,” Gagayi said. She also said her eldersister, Nosiphiwo Gagayi, was diagnosedwith TB and she had since been cured fromit.The latest statistics show that 9.5% of TB
clients defaulted on treatment, which is anincrease of approximately 1% from the pre-vious year.The statement also said in 2015 a new
strategy, known as ’90 90 90’ was adopted by
many countries, including South Africa.The aim is that by 2020, 90% of all people liv-ing with HIV will know their status, 90% ofthose eligible for treatment with ART willbe on sustained treatment, and 90%ofpeopleon ART will have suppressed viral loads.The strategy has also been adapted for TB,
so that by 2020, 90% of vulnerable groupsshould have been screened for TB, 90% ofpeople with TB should be diagnosed andstarted on treatment, and 90% of those treat-ed for TB should be cured.

MOTIVATIONzyd mzamo
Poverty is only a state of themind, just come to think of itWho are the richest people in theworld.Please understand my question. I am
not saying, who is the richest personin the world.I am asking, who are the richest
people in the world. Is it politicians. Ifit is, the question will be; where didthey get the money. So it is not thembecause if it were, everyone would liketo become one so that they could lootthe state.That is where their riches come
from. They suppress everyone andafter that they do as they like. Theytake over the state treasury and bareveryone from speaking. So it is notthey.If it is not them, who are they. Do
you know the answer. Think about itfor a while before you answer. I don’twant you to become polemic and sayall sorts of things that are irrelevantto this topic.The richest people in the world are
business people. What is cool for thewealthy is not cool for the poor. Forinstance, the wealthy would rathertake risks than tie themselves to a 9 to5 job. They would rather take risksand fail many times over than workfor 50 years and when they retirethere is nothing to show for it. But thepoor don’t see it that way. They wouldrather work for 50 years than takerisks. When you ask them why, theanswer is obvious; they don’t wantproblems. The poor see problems. Theysee failure. They see crime. They don’twant to be robbed. Play it safe. Andstay alive.
That’s their motto. The motto of therich is; behind every problem is ablessing. I find that enlightening.Whenever confronted with problems,ask; “Where’s the blessing” It isprobably somewhere waiting to berevealed.But because we are focused on
problems, we don’t see it. We haveproblems in this country. South Africais likely to be downgraded to a junkstate. Some say it is because of thePresident. Why did he fire Nene. Somesay it is because of the Guptas. TheGuptas are in charge. They appointministers. They bankroll the Zumas.But here’s the thing; if the Guptas arekicked out, will your situation change.I doubt it. As long as your povertythinking exists, it won’t. It is not otherpeople that are holding you back. It isyou. What are you doing with whatyou have? Why are you sitting on it?I’m sure you know what I mean.
There’s no need to go there. I’ve saidit before. You’ve got what it takes. Butyou play victim. You reckon you areincapable. So you become. It is you tochange you. Once you do, you’ll takeoff. Stay positive.

U.K searching out work in bands of fellowexiles, the likes of trumpeter Hugh Mase-kela, percussionist Julian Bahula and saxo-phonist Dudu Pukwana.At 66, he returns to anold turf in thenative
yards of Gugulethu where his compatriots,Ezra Ngcukana and Winston MankunkuNgozi hail from, to performwith bass playerSpencerMbadu and the visiting British sax-ophonist Alvin Davis.

Langa station upgrade doneThe City of Cape Town has completed its up-grade of theLangaStationSouthpublic openspace at a cost of more than R10,5 million.This project forms part of the City’s com-
mitment to investing in historically under-invested areas.The upgrade of the Langa Station has en-
tailed the construction of new sidewalks andthe improvement of existing sidewalks forsafe pedestrian movement.The City’s Mayoral Committee Member
for Energy, Environmental and SpatialPlanning, Councillor Johan van der Merwe,yesterday visited the upgraded site and par-ticipated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony tocelebrate the completion of the project.Sandile Road, which leads towards the
Langa Station, has also been changed froma two-way to a one-way road to enhance pe-destrian safety and the movement of buses,taxis and private vehicles.Apart from the general landscaping aspect
of this project, the existing informal tradingspaces have also been upgraded to improvethe business environment for the informaltraders.In the same area, awall of art has been cre-
ated by local artists to acknowledge the his-tory of Langa and to celebrate its future.Newpublic seating and lighting have been
installed and a new asphalted public park-ing area adjacent to Brinton Street has been
constructed.This upgrade has involved many city di-
rectorates, including the Spatial Planningand Urban Design Department, the Trans-port for Cape TownDirectorate, and theCityParks and Economic Development Depart-ments.‘This forms part of our city-wide efforts to
create innovative and inclusive community-and commuter-friendly spaces.However, we need our communities to
take ownership of these spaces and to be ac-tively involved in the preservation and pro-motion of these spaces.It is only through the support of our resi-
dents thatwe can change the face of our com-munities by building quality-driven, safepublic spaces actively used by local neigh-bourhoods.‘We also thank the residents of Langa for
their support and in particular the ProjectSteering Committee.Without all of the stakeholders working
together, we would not have been able tocomplete this project timeously and success-fully,’ said Councillor Van derMerwe. Overthe past decade, the City has focused consid-erable attention on public space upgradesand other projects in Langa.In December 2015, 463 householders in the
City’s LangaHostel Transformation project,took occupation of their new apartments.

ANC factions fighting over postsMBONGISENI MASEKO
A pepper spray, a knife, change of ven-ue, squabbles over the rightful candi-date are all the ingredients that make
up the stew for the up-coming local govern-ment elections in Lower Crossroads, andthings are not promising to get any better.
On one side is Mzwanele Jokani,40, amember of both theANCandSanco,whohasopened a case of assault against a fellowmember of the ANC.
Jokani alleges that said member pepper-sprayed and threaten to stab him after heand other members demanded to know whytheir names were removed from the list forcandidacy as councillors in the up-comingelections.
“Instead she and her sister sprayed meand tookout aknife, threatening to stabme.”
On the day of the interview, members ofboth Sanco and the ANCwere seen filing in-to the hall for a meeting.
Jokani said they had also demanded toknow why a branch general meeting was di-verted to a hall in Ireland instead of a com-munity hall in Lower Crossroads as resi-dents had expected.
“The woman swore at and the pepper-sprayed me. I was busy on my phone whenher sister came with a knife intending tostab me, but other members pushed heraway.
“How can the regional office send some-one so violent... I did not expect to be assault-ed by my comrades, who should be the onesprotecting me instead,” Jokani said.
Lieutenant Bheki Xulu, Philippi-EastSAPS Corporate Communication office said“the case was registered, but there is no ar-rest at the stage investigation has beenlaunched,”
Sandla Mashiyi, also a member of ANCand Sanco in Lower Crossroads, said Coun-cillor Mzuzile Mpondwana of Ward 35 andother members of the ANC moved the meet-
ing to another venue without informinganyone else.
“They changed the venuewithout tellingus so that they would get a chance to votefor their own candidate without being op-posed, but we managed to find-out, hencewe stopped it(the meeting). They are push-ing for their candidate who is not chosenby the entire community.
“Our candidate would (have)been leftout should the BGM have continued. Wewant someone from the national office tobe deployed to observe our BGM, and notsomeone from the region, because we nolonger (have)trust them,” Mashiyi said.
He said the reason is that the factionalgroup wanted to vote for Mpondwana to bere-elected for the position of councillor.
But the community has chosen Mbonis-wa Nelson Chitha whom they described assomeone who has done a wonderful job inthe area in the past.
“The entire community has vowed thatno one is going to take part in the votingin this area if he (Chitha) is not the candi-date for councillor,” he added.
Mpondwana in response, said the BGMwas “disrupted” by some communitymem-bers who are “not members of the ANC.”
He said the BGM was organised by theBranch Executive Committee (BEC), andnot theward councillor and that BEC is theone that decided the venue.
“The print out of the list was not doneby the branch, but by the national office oftheANCand they are the oneswho auditedthe list (of names).
Everything was explained to everyoneseveral times. It might happen that somewho did not appear on the list had lapsedmembership.
“The ANC took a decision in Mangaungthat for someone to qualify to be a candi-date for councillor one must have been amember for ANC for at least six months asopposed to eight weeks.
They just chose not to understand it. Theyhave a personal vendetta against me that iswhy they are saying all negative things
about me,” he said. The ANC nedia office intheWestern Cape was not available for com-ment at the time of going to print.

UmqondowamaJita, a social andburialsociety based in Langa has mademuch needed donations of clothing
and groceries to a centre for the needy in thearea.The donations, as part as of the society’s
social investment, were handed over to theLanga Cheshire Home last Saturday.Mahlubi Ngqukuvana, the chairperson of
the Welfare Committee for Umqondo wama-Jita, said this was part of their ongoingproject to support those who are in need inareas where they do business.They also donated school uniform to
needy learners at Mokone Primary School,the same area last year.“We decided to start in Langa, because
that is where we are based, but we also haveother projects in the pipeline for other areasin future. We feel very happy because it isour aim to assist our communities wherewecan. We are looking at the needs of our com-munity,” Ngqukuvana said.Mnyamezeli Badlisa, manager at Langa
Cheshire Home, thankedUmqondowamaJi-ta for the donation.“It will help us a lot, because are now able

of challenges such as shortage of space.“We have 13 people on the waiting list and
we do not have space for them all. We couldonly take-in two people in the last ten years.The spaces only becomes available when amember passes away or in case a family ofone of them decides to take their familymember back,” he added.Most have become permanent residents of
the centre.UMqondowamaJita is amaleheadedburi-

Siphokazi Tyalidikazi led a perfectlynormal life, helping her mother withhousehold chores, playing with other
girls in the street or doing whatever girlsin her age took part in; until last year.
The then 13 years old Grade 6 learner atNalíkamva Primary School neglected to doher school homework; suddenly, the worldaround her and her life changed for theworst.
Her teacher, livid with anger, took outa pipe and allegedly thwacked her on thepalm of her right-hand, which she used towrite with. Using the rod to punish errantchildren is illegal in South African schools, and all educators are supposedly aware ofthis ruling.
After the beating, by a Miss Fadana, allseemed well until after school. Once home,Siphokazi reported the pain in her handand her mother rushed her to hospital. Onarrival, it discovered that she had sufferednerve damage in her hand.
Even after operations, the hand cannotfunction properly as recovery is slow, andSiphokazi has had to re-route her functionsto her southpaw, for someone born an or-thodox.
Hemotherhas lamented the extra burdenvisited on her on account of the corporalpunishment.Nobantu Tyalidikazi said she has had to
wash, clothe and help feed her daughter,
and the family has exhausted the medicalaid.
“It is really unfair that we have to bearthe brunt of the emotional and financialstrain when the culprit and the departmentshould be taking responsibility,” she said.
“Our child was injured while in thehands of the department, which failed toprotect her from the teacher and theyshould pay,” she said.
“My child has never been the same.”The mother said what made things even
worse is that the staff and the School Gov-erning Body turned against her, saying herchildwas problematic learner at the school.
“Miss Fadana turned from being a perpe-trator to a victim. The SGB even went onto convince other parents thatmy daughterwas a problem child,” she said. She hassince laid criminal charges against theteacher.
Tyalidikazi said even though the teacherhad initially apologised and made moneyavailable for the medical treatment, thefamily has exhausted its medical aid bal-ance and has fallen into depth.
“Its painful because instead of makingsure thatmy child is OK the SGB and teach-ers are trying to have her thrown out of theschool and are staging protests againsther,” she said. According to her, Miss Fa-dana will appear at the Blue Downs Magis-trates Court on 11 April. The Departmentof Education had not replied by the time ofgoing to print.
‘Teacher paralysed me’
Siphokazi Tyalidikazi shows her hand, which suffered extensive nerve damage to her hand. Withher is mother Nobantu, who says medical costs have escalated, the departement must takeresponsibility. PHOTO: MANDLA MAHASHE

CITY VISIONThursday, 31 March 201610 OPINIONS
Today’s fast-paced lifestyle has made us agreedy and self-serving society.We are too busy chasing material
possessions to see when our loved onesare depressed.Suicide is one of the scary realities of
modern life. When someone feels helplessand unloved, they start thinking aboutdeath. Many people have considered tyinga noose around their neck and ending itall. They think no one cares about theirpain.This is not the case. Suicidal people
often reach out for help but they areignored by those around them.We take them seriously only when they
are dead. We need to be alert and realisewhen someone needs assistance.Helping someone does not mean you
have to give them money. Offering ashoulder to cry on or listening to some-
one’s problems is the first step to recov-ery.Talking is therapy for the soul.However, true healing also empowers.
As the old saying goes, when you give aman a fish, you feed him for a day. Whenyou teach him how to fish, you feed himfor a lifetime.Let’s stop ignoring those who are
crying out for help. If we continue doingso we run the risk of weakening ourcommunities and we will have no one tosupport us during our time of need.Everyone feels pain and no one isimmune to suicidal thoughts.I urge everyone to listen to what their
relatives, friends, colleagues and neigh-bours have to say. Listening to someone’stroubles just might save a life.
BUKHO MAMKELIMfuleni
We need to listen tothose suicidal voices
Life holds many challenges, but our mainpurpose is to be happy.That means we should all learn to
recognise the good in every situation.We must keep our eyes open and our
minds pure to appreciate the good in life.The journey of life is much more
enjoyable if you follow your dreams withenthusiasm.Most of the time opportunities present
themselves, so we need to develop an eyeto spot them and the courage to take theinitiative. We need courage to compro-
mise on the less important things forimportant ones.We also need courage to choose the
good, even when the bad seems tempting.Courage will help us to stand alone if a
situation calls for it, yet maintain ourhappiness.We are responsible for our own happi-
ness. Be happy over the little that youhave today, for that will help you achievemore tomorrow.

Life is a journey, live to the full
Very often I come across young peoplebegging in the streets and I ask themwhy they are begging and not doingsomething with their lives.Most say their poor backgrounds
drove them to the streets, while otherssay they had to leave school due tolack of funds.The truth is, no situation is too
difficult to be defeated. If your familybackground forced you to drop out ofschool, it is your duty to devise otheroptions that will see you escape thejaws of poverty, and begging shouldnot be one of them.What I am saying is that not every-
one has to go the academic route tomake it in life. The fact that you aremaking the absence of resources anexcuse is proof that you have accepteddefeat.
Strong-minded people can grow aplant in a desert. It does not matterwhere you grew up, there is always anopportunity to explore. That beingsaid, rural areas and squatter camps,as impoverished as they are, arecapable of producing dynamite.Remember, if you keep on saying
people will never ever understand howdifficult and complicated your life is,you are unconsciously reinforcingyour unfortunate situation.Find yourself, get out of that shell
and you will see that where there is awill, there is a way. The world has ahabit of making way for those whoknow where they are going. Be like achoir conductor, who shows people hisback as he performs.

Street begging shows defeat
To build a strong nation we must betough. The situation is not bad as it looksbut its worse and its getting extremelyworse.The streets are red with blood and dark
with gloom and fear. Daylight robbery ishappening and becoming ‘normal’.Killings are a reality of each and every-day. The freedom and unlimited “humanrights” is killing the black nation. Manyyoungsters are quitting school at primarylevel and yet we are expecting profession-al engineers, lawyers and doctors.Yet every year in SONA government is
emphasizing on building infrastructurefor development. The question remains,where is this nation going.Who will build this roads, schools and
clinics for the promised development.
The only tangible solutions are that wemust get the youth back into classroomsand hours of learning should not bedisturbed.Every school must have a library, and
no girl-child should be beneficiary ofsocial grant if they are not attendingschool.The quality and standard of education
must be increased. Government shouldensure its tough to be a prisoner and nobenefits are given to those behind thebars. To be a prisoner it must not lookinteresting at all. Youth must be a afraidto go to prison. However this will only beimplementable if we start to buildmentally strong youth.

Gugs 7 heroes left us a legacy
Thirty years ago Gugulethu lost itsinnocence in a hail of gunfire onNY 111, and has yet to properly
healed.When the gunsmoke cleared, and the
chorus of township dogs reached itspeak, seven young patriots lay dead inthe dirt.They were Mandla Simon Mxinwa,
Zandisile Zenith Mjobo, Zola AlfredSwelani, Godfrey Jabulani Miya,Christopher Piet, Themba Molefi andZabonke John Konlie.Seven young freedom fighters lured
into a trap by police and murdered incold blood in the street. Brutallybutchered. Photographs of police withfirearms standing and smiling above thebodies of their victims, like huntersstanding over their trophies, revealedthe state of mind of our oppressor.If the police thought their savagery
would dissuade others from opposingthe state, it was a total miscalculation.It galvanized us. The death of theGugulethu Seven made us stronger.They did not die in vain.I remember 3 March 1986 as if it were
yesterday. It was a beautiful Mondaymorning. Around 7am. As we would sayin my language: lalizole nasebukhwenibe zinja.South Africa was in the grip of a
State of Emergency, and we knew thesound of gunfire. But this gunfire wasdifferent. On that fateful Mondaymorning the people of Gugulethu,Section 3 in particular, were literally
shaken by the sounds of blazing, heavycalibre firearms.The apartheid predator had struck. A
police unit that included Major DolfOdendaal and Warrant Officer Belling-ham had spilled the blood of ourpatriots. We were to learn from witness-es that some were “finished off” atpoint-blank range, that firearms wereplaced on the bodies to give the appear-ance that it was the police who hadcome under attack.The group had been infiltrated by
police and their deaths were as a resultof a chilling calculation.We surged into the streets in great
numbers to see what disaster hadstruck. The curious, the outraged andthe terrified, multitudes of us, runningtowards the intersection of NY111 andNY1 to see the blood spilled on ourcommunity’s breast.Christopher Piet, alone, had 18 bullets
in his body. That night, his motherwatched the television news and sawfootage of her son being dragged by achain around his neck, like a dog.Because, the police said, he may havehad explosives under his body.Although they had received some
military training, the Gugulethu Sevenwere not battle-hardened soldiers. Theywere youths activists, and members ofboth the Cape Youth Congress (Cayco)and uMkhonto we Sizwe.The seven were lured to their death
by an Askari (former anti-apartheidsoldier turned security police operative)called Jimmy Mbane.Witnesses said some of the seven were
shot with their hands in the air tryingto surrender. But Police MinisterAdriaan Vlok’s forces were very blood-thirsty that day, and were intent onmaking an example of them.
The Gugulethu Seven were martyrs;heroes of our liberation struggle. As weprepared to bury them, under the aegisof the UDF, the apartheid regime ran itsusual interference to restrict thenumbers of people who’d be allowed toattend the funeral. They failed dismally.The UDF was a mass movement of
many community structures, and itdecided that the funeral would be amass funeral.On the following Saturday no less
than 30 000 people gathered at the NY 49stadium to bury their heroes.I vividly remember the raw emotion
at the event, and the taunting andintimidation of the police in theirhippos and mellow yellows, includingthe helicopters above, which they usedto drown out the singing of freedomsongs.And I remember the pride of confront-
ing our enemy on our grounds, knowingthat our liberation struggle was arighteous struggle, and that victory wastherefore inevitable.I felt very honoured to be among the
youth from Cayco, who carried thecoffins shoulder high that day togetherwith the late Mike Coto and MelisizweZihlangu. We were marshaled by theever militant orator the late DamdaMfaco. We felt so energized, so power-ful, that we could have run all the wayto Johannesburg.That is the gift that the Gugulethu
Seven bequeathed on us. Their deathspushed the pendulum in our direction.Children growing up in Gugulethu
today are confronted by a very differentset of realties to those we faced in the1980s. They are much less likely to beshot by police, for a start.But, if we are honest, we have yet to
create the type of integrated, human,
communities in Cape Town for whichthe Seven laid down their lives.In the context of the city’s sprawling
informal settlements, townships such asGugulethu could be regarded as almostmiddle-class. But the Gugulethu of todayis still too recognizable to that ofyesterday.Too many of our people still live if
not below, the breadline. There is toomuch crime, and too many incidents ofrape and abuse. Too wide a gulf inliving standards between “suburbs” and“townships”, and we still call ourstreets, Native Yards – as in NY 1,where a monument to the GugulethuSeven has been erected.It is good to erect monuments to
fallen heroes, to acknowledge theircontributions to society. But we owemore to the Gugulethu Seven thanacknowledgement. We must activelyremember what they struggled for.Their dreams for justice and a betterlife continue to sustain us today.We owe it to ourselves and to our
children never to forget. We mayforgive, but we shall never forget!!!
Gugulethu came under stateattack 30 years ago. McebisiSkwatsha remembers whathappend.

Working on Fire (WoF) and national Department of Environ-mental Affairs’ held a fitness test in the province, recently.
Fire-fightersput to testWorkingonFire (WoF)
within the WesternCape, the national
Department of Environmen-tal Affairs’ programme tohelp fight veld and forestfires, has employed 160 andadditional participants frompreviously disadvantagedcommunities who will nowbe trained to become profes-sional veld and forest firefighters.Over the past few months,
WoF Western Cape hasrolled out a series of recruit-ment drives across the prov-ince to ensure that more op-portunities are made availa-ble in various areas fromNewlands in Cape Town toPlettenberg Bay in theSouthern Cape.“Wehad close to 1000 appli-
cants who responded to theadvertisement of employ-ment, and only 160 were cho-sen,” says WC General Man-ager, Shane Christian.These new recruits went
through vigorous testing atrecruitment sites as theyhadto complete a fitness testwhich includes a 2.4km runin under 12minutes, 40 push-ups, 8 pull ups, as well as aninterview session.“The objective of these re-
cruitment’s is to ensure thatworkopportunities aremadeavailable within impover-ished communities in theWestern Cape,” says Chris-tian.
All new recruits partici-pated in the 25 day basic andadvanced firefighting train-ing at the Training Academyin Bloemfontein and are nowqualified participants with-in the programme.Working on Fire draws
their fire fighters from thepoorest of the poor. They gothrough extensive training,and are characterized bytheir fitness, discipline andexceptional work ethic andbravery. Many of these firefighters who spend days andnights on end fighting thesefires come from the impover-ished communities on theCape Flats and Khayalitsha.Thanks to their employ-
ment in the Working on Fireprogramme as an extensionof the Expanded PublicWorks programme of gov-ernment they have been giv-en a work opportunity toearn a living and to put foodon the table.Working on Fire is a na-

Skosana’ congregation also took the time to let residents in Khayelitsha know about their “buyblack” campaign.
Skosana ‘cross’ battles hardshipMISHECK MAKORA
Way of Life Church Pastor Xola Sko-sana has launched a consumer boy-cott against so-called “white” goods
in Black areas.Skosana, who has been accused of being
behind student protests due to his “blacktheology” teachings, staged a march from
uLuntu in Gugulethu to Mandela Park inKhayelitsha on Saturday morning.
The march was supported by the studentmovements #RhodesMustFall and #Fees-MustFall, church members and workersfrom the University of the Western Cape.EFF members also took part.
Skosana said the march was black peo-ple’s outcry against backyard dwellings,
squatter camps and sub-developments.“Human Settlements breeds all the social
ills that black people suffer.For the past five years we have been chal-
lenging it by walking 11,5 km from Gugulet-hu to Khayelitsha.
“But now we are doing something.We have to deal with the circulation of
money in white hands because they impov-
erish black communities.“Black people ekasi should not buy goods
from white- owned companies,” said Sko-sana, who carried a cross.
Explaining the Cross over his shoulders,which he carried for the length of the march,he said: “Easter commemorates the death ofChrist. The cross is a symbol of brokenness.The cross tells the story of black people.”
Pastor Xola Skosana of New Way of Life Church continued his annual cross carrying walkaround the townships. PHOTOS: LINDILE MBONTSI.
Qhamisa Mpayipheli has cemented herselfas one of the most talented songwriters inthe gospel industry.
Gospel singer has contributed to the success of artistsShe began as an aspirant praise singer buthas now become established as one of themost talented writers in the gospel musicindustry.
Qhamisa Mpayipheli, a singer songwrit-er from Queenstown has been the pensmithof popular songs such as Bethusile’s‘Nyange lemihla’ and Thembinkosi Booi’s‘Siyakudumisa’. to mention a few.
“I started singing at a very young age;from being a soloist at schools I attendedto singing with local choirs in the commu-nity. I have lived all my life with music asa companion.”
She said coming from a village with abso-lutely no resources at all, this meant herdream of becoming a musician that wouldinfluence the world was far-fetched.
“Because of my genuine love for music,I joined any music group I could come intocontact with including a local gospel choir,which was three hours away from my vil-lage,’ she reminisced.
She was also fascinated by the soothingsounds of a keyboard.
Qhamisa said she continued with thegroup until it fell apart due to personalitieswithin itsself.
She then tried to convince the remainingmembers to stick it out, only to discoverthat the bone of contention was the embez-zlement of funds in the group.
Even as the group disbanded, Qhamisadidn’t stop pursuing her dream, though.
She carried on and sang alone in thestreets and nearest towns until she was dis-covered by a music coach who took her offthe streets.
The coach, a Mr Kolo, managed to influ-ence a lot of sponsors and promoters to helpthe young girl from the villages.
She did not disappoint and worked verywell with all the references.
In one of the events that Mr kolo helpedorganize, Lusanda Mcinga and her spiritu-al group was in the line up.
It was, she said, her determination to suc-ceed that through such challenges, shemanaged to release a debut album in 2015.
‘My foray into the industry began withme writing songs for various artist but itwas Nyange lemihla that launched me.
That song established my career as a songwriter.
This is the same song that made a lot ofartist be very eager to work with me.
I was then approached by a lot of artists,including Nosipho Daniels whose titletrack song was also composed by me.”
The album was nominated at the CapeTown Victory Awards in 2014.
She has also worked with ThembinkodiBooi, and composed three songs for him ti-tled: Akaludelanga, Siyakudumisa, Uzun-denze.
She has also composed for M-Siya whowas also nominated at the Crown MusicAwards in 2015;
For M-Siya she had composed a song ti-tled Onke Amadolo.
She has also worked with Iphazimula bycomposing a song titled Ebenezer on theiralbum. She is still writing for a lot of artistto date.
In 2015 she finally released her own al-bum titled Simbiza Ngamagama’ whichwas produced by the legendary Sizwe Zak-ho.
The 12 track album did well and she be-lieves that there is still much to offer fromher.
‘There are a lot of different sounds on itranging from Pentecostal influenced soundto jazzy and traditional sounds,’ she said.
Bheki Nqoko’s fascinating musical journeyhas been traced, and yes it was impeccably“Made in Ntuzuma”.
This is as South Africa and the world atlarge witness the musician’s remarkableworkmanship, as he releases his sophomorealbum, a follow-up to “Kuwe”.
The 17 track album sees the star also forg-ing a working relationship with GalloRecords, in partnership with his record la-bel, Kuwe Record.
Bheki performed with the late great BusiMhlongo and recorded with the reveredBrenda Fassie.
He said his music journeystarted in Ntuz-uma hence the album title.
“Through my musical journey and experi-ences, the album, with 17 original composi-tions was born, and I hope these experienceswill rub off on the masses.
“I believe the experience I gained from theprevious album, made it possible to bewhere I am now,” he added.
Coming from a musical family with a tro-phy cabinet displaying more than 30 awards,
Bheki’s earlier works included lending histalents to bands like Mbongeni Ngema’s Ma-ria Maria, Stax, BusiMhlongo and Ntuzumamass choir.
As soon as he landed in Jozi, Bheki starteddoing studio work as a backing sessionistworking with greats such as Brenda Fassie,and Rebecca Malope.
In 1997, Bheki’s gospel album, “Mina
Nawe”, was released under CCP Records. Heis one of the founding members of Kofifi, thatgave the country the FM Music Awardsnominated “Emakhoneni” (2005).
Bheki has produced for the late Mr Staff,Vusi Nongxa and Kofifi.
He has also written songs for the likes ofSiphokazi, Ndoh Dlamini, Kelly Khumalo,Lundi Tyamara, Vusi Nongxa, Imalini andSbu
Bheki has also appeared in theatre pro-ductions like Mbongeni Ngema’s “Maria”,“Jubilations” musical alongside S’bongileMngoma, and “Woza”, singing with the likesof the late Wendy Mseleku, Max Mntamboand Somizi Mhlongo directed by ThembaMkhize.
In 2007, Bheki started his own companyOkzin Productions and signed himself as thefirst artist.
Having written “Fly” from her previousalbum, and “Love yourself” two albums ear-lier, the star says Kelly Khumalo ap-proached him to do a song for her in the pastand it didn’t come through.
“I felt the need to come through for her,and this time felt the need to feature her on“Ngiyamthatha” – a track bout taking the re-lationship to the next level at some point.
On the track with Mbuso Khoza, Bhekisays he had already written and completed“MamaAfrica”.
“I felt there was something missing aboutthe composition.
I slept over it and felt Mbuso would be per-fect for it. He is unique, and his sense of mu-sic can’t be matched.
The tone of his voice is something else. Hehas that African tone.
I felt he was the guy to complement me onthat song.
Also, he says the track is about the appre-ciating the beauty of woman kind. It couldbe the continent as well, playing the motherto all of us.”

Soccer lovers treated to top diskiMANDLA MAHASHE
To grow support for the global-ly popular English PremierLeague, football legends spent
last Tursday mingling with fans atthe Gugulethu mall.FormerBafanaandLeedsUnited
Captain Lucas Radebe and formerArsenal goalkeeper Peter Schmei-chel took a moment to take pic-tures with locals and the EnglishPremier League trophy.The event was a build up to the
weekend’s Ultimate Fan Park Ex-perience at Camps Bay HighSchool.The fan experience football lov-
ers got to watch livematches of theEPL games on Saturday and Sun-day.According to the Barclays Absa
public relations officer, SiyabongaMahlaba, this event was to bringtogether the fans of the league andto enjoy thegamewith former starsin the midst.He also said that it was also cru-
cial for them to see locals gettingin on the action.
“We all know that the EPL is themost followed league but not inSouth African townships like Gu-gulethu. So we are trying to bringit close and what better way to dothat than to bring celebrated foot-ball legends like Lucas Radebe,”said Mahlaba.Locals were also treated to a free
shuttle from Khayelitsha and Gu-gulethu to CampsBay. Radebe saidthat it was important for suchevents to be brought in the town-ships.“We all know that the biggest fol-
lowing for football in this countryis in the townships and the morelocals are exposed to the EPL thebetter the chances of them follow-ing it,” said Radebe.
Lucas Radebe poses with the fanduring the photo opportunity inGugulethu Mall.

‘Roo’ laments lack of substance in implementationFormer Bafana Bafana captain Lucas Ra-debe says football leaders need to come to-gether to try and improve the country’sshowing at international level.Radebe stressed the need for introspec-
tion in light of Bafana’s goalless drawwithCameroon on Monday, which severelydented the national team’s chances of qual-ifying for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ga-bon next year.“We need to come together as football
people and seewhatpositive changewecanmake in order to make things to go well,”saidRadebe,who earned 70 caps forBafana
and also skippered Leeds United before re-tiring in 2005.“Because we have changed the team, we
have changed the manager and we are go-ing to keep doing that. So is there any waywe can change again?Yes, possibly, and we should go look up
to the head and say, you know what, whatideas can we come with and who can weget involved to get football to be what itused to be? Football heads need to come to-gether on this one.”‘Roo’ feels structures - such as SAFA’s
technical masterplan dubbed ‘Vision 2022’
- are in place to address the issue but theimplementation of ideas has been lacking.“People want things to change and peo-
ple talk about great things but implementa-tion has been lacking for a long time.We need to implement. Let’s get people
in places where they can make changes.“Football has to be run properly not on
the field but outside the field. We needproper structures. We have got structureat the moment with the master plan but Ithink for it to work it’s going to take a littlebit of time.Because if you talk about changes, peo-
ple still need to adapt to those changes.”. Meanwhile, Mashaba described thequestion about his job security as “very sil-ly question.”He blasted at a journalist who posed the
question: “I’ve never come to SABC andasked (about) your contract and your jobsecurity. I respect that.”Mashaba continued, questioning the ef-
fect that his naysayers were having on hisfamily.“I’m a human being. I’ve got blood, I’ve
got family, I’ve got kids, I’ve got grand-kids,” said the coach.
ON THE BALL: Sporting Code, a sport development company in Khayleitsha hosted a sportsday at the Makhaya Smart Park. Local yoouths competed in various sporting codes.
CUPPED: The past Easter Weekend saw the staging of the Dr Xolile Vena Challenge Cup (left)played by Tavern Footballers. Vena and Seven Stars energy drink sponsored the event which tookplace at the NY49 Stadium on Sunday 27 March. Aslo seen on the picture are Banana Sodingaand Liyana Vena.
