at Eastwood school>> Teachers accuse the principal of trying to scrap the teaching of isiZulu for Afrikaans
NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]
CLASSESatEastwoodPrimarySchoolhave allegedly been divided accord-ing to the race of pupils, and the
teaching staff have called it an insult todemocracy.
The alleged racial segmentation wasimplemented at the beginning of the yearby school principal Jean Vetter. Africanteachers teach Zulu speaking pupils whileColoured teachers are responsible forthose pupils who speak Afrikaans, said asource.
Speaking to Echo, teachers confirmedthisactofclassingpupilsaccording to theirethnicity and said it was racist. They saidthat last year, Vetter threatened to phaseout the isiZulu language and even took thematter to the department.
“She lied and told the department thatthere was a shortage of Zulu languageteachers. The aim was to scrap the Zululanguageandmakepupils learnAfrikaansinstead.This racial segregationhasplacedpressure on Zulu language teachers whoend up having 50 pupils in class, while theColoured teachers have a much smallernumber. At the school, we have almost80%ofZuluspeakingpupilsandit’sstrenu-ous onAfricanteachers.This implementa-tion promotes racism among pupils and itkills thespiritofarainbownation. Aschoolis an institutionwherea child should learnbut in this situation, it’s like they are fed onhow to be racist,” said the teacher.
Another teacher said that the issue ofisiZulu was dealt with last year and theDepartment of Education was informedand intervened.
“African teachers end up havingovercrowded classes to teach. The princi-pal is against the teaching and learning ofZuluandshecan’thide it,”saidtheteacher.
While theprincipal couldnot comment,KZN Education spokesperson MuziMahlambi said they will send the circuitmanagement team to the school to check ifthe allegations are true.
“They will have to check if that is donefor curriculum purposes or if it’sdiscriminatory because if the latter is thecase, then that is unacceptable,” saidMahlambi.

>> Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters told to get out of Sobantu as they visited an IEC voting station
NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]
UMGUNGUNDLOVU EFFregional convenor ReggieNgcobo has described some
ANC members in Sobantu as hooli-gans.
This after reports on Sunday thatthere was confrontation betweenmembers of the ANC and the EFF atMfenendala community hall inSobantu.
According toNgcobo,members oftheEFFwent there to check the turn-out of voters who came for registra-tion, as it was the IEC’s registrationweekend.
“Wehaddone thesamethingwithother voting districts in France andImbali Unit 14. We were not there tofight or distract anyone in Sobantu.WearrivedinSobantuandaccommo-dated ourselves outside the hall.
“Aswewere sitting there, a groupof five women started making some
noise over nothing. They startedshoutingwhichdrewalotofattentionand people started flocking in. Theywere swearing. And seeing that hap-pening, police had to intervene.
“The police had to form a humanshield to separate us from them. Wehad planned to stay there for 15minutes but seeing that the ANCmembershadmadeuscelebrities,westayed longer than we had plannedto,” said Ngcobo.
WardcouncillorThandiMatiwane
said the ANC is grateful for the EFFmembers misbehaviour. She saidwith the noise and chaos caused byEFF members, the Sobantu commu-nity came in numbers to register andtocheckif theywereonthevotersroll.
“Most people were too lazy tocome to the voting district because itwas a Sunday. We thank the EFF fordrawing attention.With all the chaosand noise, people came out in num-bers to register. We had a huge turn-out, especially with the new voters. I
would like to emphasise that mem-bers of EFF were intimidating thecommunity. They blocked theentrance and they started takingpictures using their iPads. It was notthe ANC members. Tthe communityof Sobantu was against what theywere doing and no one was hurt orbeaten,” said Matiwane.
Captain Thulani Zwane said therewas a case of intimidation that wasopened by the EFF members but noone had been arrested.

He said people from this movement collectrecyclablewastematerialsandearnan incomefrom selling the waste material for recycling.
“Most peopleunderminewastepickers andthe formation of this movement was to createthat respect and reveal awaste pickers’ contri-bution to climate change. Sawpawas thekey topromoting waste picking on an internationalplatformat theUnitedNation’s climate changetalks held in Durban last year,” said Mbata.Mpumalanga Youth Against Climate Change(MYACC) volunteer NomceboMakhubelo, saidthe organisation is there to make the youthawareofclimatechange.Theydecidedthatthe-atre and poetry would be themedium throughwhich theywould create awareness andmobi-lise communities around environmentalissues.

ANC will indeedrule for a long time>> Demystifying two main points raised by the opposition partiesagainst the ANC: The ANC shall indeed rule South Africa for theunforeseeable future!, writes THEMBINKOSI ‘GUERRILLA’ ZONDI
AS much as I have been flirtingwith the idea of writing anarticle about how the current
oppositionparties inSouthAfricawillneverdefeatthe102yearsoldAfricanNationalCongress (ANC), even if theywere to swallow their often inflatedbut bruised political egos, I mustconfess that this article is mainlymotivated by Professor MalegapuruMakgoba’s article that he recentlywrote titled “A democracy at thecrossroads.”
This article appeared in the CityPresspublicationof 19 January2014on page 30.
For thebenefit of thosewhomighthavemissedMakgoba’sarticle, letmequickly highlight what I think aresome of the key points.
TheProf.argued–andIabsolutelyagree – that since 1994, there hasbeen significant changes (both intermsofquality andquantity) inmostruralandurbanareasinSouthAfrica.These changes include, although arenot limited to, tarred roads, electrici-ty, clean running water, health facili-ties such as clinics, schools and theextension of government grantswhich are received on time.
I am pleased that at least someacademics such asMakgoba do havegutstoadmit that theANCanditsgov-ernmentisthebestthingthathaseverhappenedtoSouthAfricainthatithasmadethelatteralivewithpossibilitiesand a better country to live in, not-withstanding some challenges, mostof which are structural.
However, the main intention forwriting this article is not to whineabout well-known post-1994 struc-tural challenges such as poverty,unemployment and inequalities,including internal ANC problems ascorrectly identified by the Prof. like
“cronyism…lackof integrity,compla-cency of incumbency and at timesarrogance and a failure to deal withwaywardmembers”, which the ANCalso admits.
Instead, this short article seeks todemystify two main points raised bythe opposition parties against theANC.
Firstly, the opposition argues thattheANCgovernment has allowed theissue of corruption to reach unprece-dented levels. Secondly, that theANCgovernmenthas failed to improve thelives of theSouthAfricanpeople suchthat someopposition parties, such asthe EFF, have stopped short fromdaring to claim that the apartheidgovernmentwas better than theANCgovernment.
Let me quickly deal with each ofthese points before proceeding toargueastowhythecurrentfragment-ed state of opposition parties vindi-cates the claim that the ANC shallindeed rule South Africa for the un-foreseeable future. Whether you – as
areaderof thisarticle–agreewithmeor not, the truth of the matter is thattheANCgovernmenthasdonea lot toarrest the issue of corruption.
For instance since 1994, the ANCgovernmenthasbeenintensifyingthefight against corruption, both in thepublic andprivate sectors, from initi-ating methods aimed at preventingpublic servants from doing businesstoholdingpublicofficials individuallyliable for losses arising from corrup-tion.
Additionally, it has taken anunprecedented decision that anyANC member or ANC public repre-sentative found guilty before a courtof law, especially on charges ofcorruption, should step down fromany leadership positions in the ANC,government and society at large.
As much as the above decision isyet to be given practical meaning, itsignals a serious commitment tofighting against corruption. Moreo-ver, the ANC government has put inplace systems and programs whichhave exposed corrupt activities.However, the ANC admits that all ofthesearenotenough,henceitcallsonboththeprivateandthepublicsectorstodesist fromparticipatingincorruptactivities such as bribing public serv-ants etc.
The claim that the ANC has failedto improve the lives of SouthAfricans
is fallacious to say the least. Forinstance, the ANC government hasdone a lot to transform Bantu educa-tion toan inclusiveeducationsystem,resulting in theelevationof theseniorcertificate rate to above 70%. Arisingfrom this and other governmentinterventions, the number of gradu-ates has doubled since the ANC gov-ernment took over.
Furthermore, it is also an indis-putable fact that today more than 15million people are able to go to bedwith something in their stomachsbecause of the comprehensive anti-povertyprogramsaimedat intensify-ing social security networks, thuscontributing significantly towardsaddressing three scientific discover-iesmadebyKarlMarxasobservedbyhis friend Frederick Engels, which isthe issue of food, and shelter, in thelight of the fact that it has built morethan 3.1 million houses.
Another fact which cannot bedisputed is that the ANC governmentremains committed to fightingagainst joblessness throughdifferentinitiatives,which includes –althoughnot limited to – labour-intensive pub-lic works programs of whose incen-tives can be used by beneficiaries toaddress the issue of clothing beyondfoodandshelter, amongother things.
Therefore, it is misleading andmyopic for the opposition parties to
argue that the ANC government hasnever done nothing to improve thelives of South Africans, especiallyconsidering the fact that the SouthAfrican economy has increased from83% over the past 19 years and thatthe disposable income per capita ofhouseholds has augmented by 43%and the total employment hasincreased by more than 3.5 millionsince the Peoples Government cameinto office (see the ANC Statement on20 Years of Democracy).
Flowing from the above, I contentthat no opposition would have man-aged toscoresomeof theabovevicto-ries other than the 102 years oldnational liberation movement. Letme conclude by agreeing with fourkey reasons as to why South Africanopposition parties will never defeatthe ANC, thus making the ANC gov-ernment to be more relevant thanever before.
Firstly, it istruethat“someoftheseopposition parties are direct off-shootsorimitationsofthe‘broadANCchurch’ in some form.”
Secondly, that “each of these par-ties is led by a single domineering‘cult-like or disgruntled figure’ with-out whom these is no party.”
Thirdly, “the leader is the partyand theparty leader isnot ready tobeled by any other member within theparty or other opposition party lead-ers” (the recent five day marriage ofDAandAgangbeingarelevantrecentexample)andfinally that“someof theleadershavesuchchequeredpoliticalhistory and record”.
All of these four points mean onething to the voter which is: “this isneither the time (hopingnosuch timewill ever come) to contemplateremovingtheANCgovernmentnor togive it less support” as Prof correctlyputs it.
As a result, the ANC shall indeedruleSouthAfrica into theunforeseea-ble future.*Thembinkosi “Guerrilla” Zondi isthe KZN 221 ward 3 ANC branch secre-tary and ANC caucus KZN LegislatureSenior Researcher writing in his ownpersonal capacity.

“UMA usuphelelwe wumdlandlawothandoVezi, vala lestolosakhoes-ingezansi kwekhala, uyekele abantubazenzele izinto zabo. Ungazodlalaukuguga la,” kusho umfo kaNdosi,uNyikinyibhoxo sincokola nayengempelasonto.
Angibange ngisambuza ukuthikanti ukuguga yinto enjani. Angim-buzanga futhi ukuthi kanti uthandoolwabantu abathile yini.
Ungigcona ngokuguga nje kusu-kela endabeni yaleValentine’s DayengoLwesihlanu.Uqalengokungibu-za ukuthi ngizomthokozisa nganiumkami ngalolu suku. Ngithe ngiza-ma ukumziba, wanami shaqa.
Ngibuza ukuthi owakuphi lo‘ngqeqe’ ozongitshela ukuthi ku-fanele ngimthande nini, kanjani um-

Kodwa kuhambe kwahambangazibuza ukuthi pho ngixhuma ku-phiminawako‘Vezingokuvezaaban-tu,minawakoNdlelaezimlombolom-bo,oDwebaabadwebaendleleni, im-amba yathi iyeqa yakhoshobala’.
Akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi isith-andwa sakho kufanele usithandengaso sonke isikhathi, hhayi nga-loValentina kuphela. Abanikazi bezi-tolo bazohleka bodwa ngalolu suku
ngoba kuzomoshwa ezinkulu izimalilezi, abantu bebangisana ngezintoezinemibala ebomvu ngoba befunaukubasesitayeleninomabefunauku-bonakala ukuthi abasali ezintweni.

ON a mission to teach aspiring actorsabout different theatrical productions,Umphithi theatre in partnership withPhenduka theatre are conducting a seriesof workshops at the Winston Churchill.The workshops, which are done in partner
ship with a German arts company, areaimed at instilling the love of theatreamong aspiring actors and to teach themabout the different types of theatricalproductions.Project coordinator Skhumbuzo Dlamini
said: “This is a pilot project to facilitateworkshops to those artists who do notknow about theatre, and those who arealready involved but lack information onphysical theatre. Most artists are nottrained on physical theatre. They are usedto only one type of theatre which is musicalwhere there is a lot of music and manyactors on stage.“In physical theatre there are only a fewactors who have to perform without anyinstruments in the background. Throughthese workshops, we want to upskill aspiring actors by exposing them to differenttypes of theatre, and at the same time, linkthem with actors from Germany,” he said.He said that there is a huge gap among cityartists in terms of theatre performance,and through these workshop.,they arehoping to take theatrical performance tothe next level.
“City artists are talented but are notexposed to theatre performances and asa result, lose out on opportunities. We willbe using ‘Woza Albert’, a stage play byMbongeni Ngema, to showcase what wemean by physical theatre”, said Dlamini.He said the focus is mainly on underprivi
leged areas as there are also plans toencourage speech and drama in disadvantaged schools. For more informa

The Nitro circus is coming to town
DURBAN will be taken to the extreme whenthe aweinspiring action sports athletes ofNitro Circus unleash their unique deathdefy
ing moves at Moses Mabhida stadium on Wednesday, February 19 as part of their first ever South African tour.Led by legendary action sports star and Nitro Circusfounder Travis Pastrana, the Nitro Circus Live crewconsist of 40 of the world’sbest action sports athletes,who defy the laws of gravitywith innovative freestylemotocross, BMX and skateboarding aerial antics offtheir multimillion dollar setand famous 50foot highNitro GigantARamp.
The heartstopping showalso includes the crew pushing the boundaries onskates, scooters and a rangeof crazy contraptionsincluding a drinks cooler,Barbie car, toy trike, shopping trolley and bodyboard.The event is, in essence,perfection within chaos.Speaking exclusively to theWitness, Aaron Fotheringham arguably the mostphenomenal and compelling of the athletes said:“It’s going to be unlike anything South African fanshave ever seen before.”Nitro Circus originated as a small DVD series filmedin Pastrana’s Maryland backyard and rapidlyevolved into a successful MTV show and later a feature film. Nitro Circus Live was launched in 2010and has since captured the imagination of fansworldwide with a string of sellout shows and
recordbreaking crowds.Fresh off wrapping up their first North Americantourbycelebrating the 100th globalshowinAnaheim, the starstudded crew will finally make theirmuch anticipated South African debut, with theDurban show sandwiched between performancesin Cape Town (February 15) and Johannesburg(February 22).
Fotheringham, affectionately known as Wheelz, isthe world’s preeminentwheelchair motocrossathlete.The 22yearold was bornwith Spina Bifida, a birthdefect of the spinal cord,which resulted in him having no usage of his legs,and endeavours to changethe world’s perception ofpeople in wheelchairs bydoing nighimpossiblestunts.
The daredevil holds thedistinction of being thefirst ever person tosuccessfully perform awheelchair backflip (onJuly 13, 2006), doublebackflip (on August 26,
2010) and frontflip (on August 25, 2012).“When it [Nitro Circus Live] first started, I don’t
know if we ever expected it to grow so big. In thelast couple of years, we have toured Australia, NewZealand, Europe, China and North America, so thetime is definitely right to bring the show to SouthAfrican fans for the first time,” he said.For bookings and more information, visit www.bigconcerts.co.za or www.computicket.com

Woza Albert!at the Hex>> One of the plays for which South African theatre is bestknown internationally
WOZA Albert! is one of the plays forwhich South African theatre is bestknown internationally.
Its style of storytelling has inspired andinfluenced theatre companies around theworld, and it remains one of the most vibrantexamples of satirical anti-apartheid SouthAfrican Theatre.
This classic of South African theatre askswhat would happen if Christ (Morena) cameback to 1980’s apartheid South Africa. Theshow is primarily a satire that highlights theabsurdities of apartheid and displays thetalents of two dextrous actors, in this case TQZondi and Mpilo Nzimande, who play a rangeof ordinary characters on the street.
Directed by Peter Mitchell, the first half ofthisproductionhighlights theabsurdityofpass
laws and the ultimate control employers hadover the lives of their employees.
As it moves through to the anticipation andarrival of the saviour (courtesy of SAA), itbecomesdarkerandmoreforebodingashislifeis relived in an apartheid context.
Usingtheelementsof theatreestablishedbyJerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook, andcombining themwith South African TownshipTheatre, the creators of the piece, directorBarney Simon and performers MbongeniNgema and Percy Mtwa, evolved a piece oftheatre that has stood the test of time.
Woza Albert! will feature at the HexagonTheatre on 19, 20, 21, 26 and 27 February at6pm. Tickets cost R60 (R40 for students andseniors). Bookings at Computicket.

Birkett-Zondi pairfancied for glory>> Dusi greats tip the duo to walk away with the first prize for the 2014 water race
Former Dusi champions Martin Dreyerand Ant Stott have both tipped the crewofAndyBirkett andSboneloZondi towin
this year’s Dusi Canoe marathon that starts atCamps Drift today.
“Onpaperthereisonecrewtowinitthisyear– Andy Birkett and Sbonelo Zondi,” said Stott,normally diplomatic and non-committal.
“Butremember,thisistheDusiandanythingcan happen,” he added.
Stott,whohaswon theDusi four times, saysthat a low river may result in a closer marginbetween Birkett and Zondi and their strongestrivals, Lance Kime and Thulani Mbanjwa, butthat thesuperiorpaddlingpowerofBirkettandZondi should have too much power and willprevail in the end.
Anticipating a close race, Stott said that ifthetwoprotagonistsweresidebysideattheendof the second stage, the racemight comedowntowhich crew gets onto the narrowpath goingup the Burma Road portage first.
Dreyer, a seven timeswinner of theDusi, al-so shortlisted the 2014winner to the same twocrews, but hadBirkett andZondi ashis favour-ites to win because they had formed a closerbond during their preparations for the race.
“Sbonelo andAndy are super-focused rightnow because they have eaten, slept and drunkthe Dusi together all summer. They have beenliving in each other’s bags, and that counts inthe end,” said Dreyer.
“Asa crew, theyarepaddling really stronglyandwe all know howwell Andy has been pad-dling this past year, with his win at the U23world marathon championships,” he added.
“RememberhowhetookonHankMcGregorat the recent N3TC Drak Challenge and won?It has been difficult for Lance and Bungee(Mbanjwa) with Lance having to head back toStellenbosch University, but they will be rightthere. It will be a two horse race, “ said Dreyer.
He added that the powerful surfski duo ofmarathon world champ Hank McGregor andhisCapepartner JasperMockéwould come in-to the racemoreandmoreas it progressed,butfelt they wouldn’t be within striking distancecome the third and final stage into BlueLagoon.Stott speculated thata fewof the lesserfancied crews could finish in the top five, andwill be poised to capitalise on the smallestmis-take by anyone of the top three fancied crews.
“Watchout forBenBiggsandKarlFolscher,”said Stott. “Jakub Adam and Cam Schoemanare also going to have a good race,” he predict-ed. “Keep an eye on Kwanda Mhlope andZonele Nzuza, and Shaun Griffin and JacquesTheron will also be there or thereabouts,” headded.

Unknown development paddlers are also potential Dusi winnersDESPITE much attention on thehousehold names during the an-nual Dusi Canoe Marathon whichstartstodayat 6amatCampsDrift,unknown development paddlersare also potential winners.
The South African MaritimeSafetyAuthority(Samsa)ChangeaLife campaign has entered eightyoung canoeists from the Inandaarea for the popular Pietermaritz-burg to Durban canoe event.
All the Inanda-based develop-ment paddlers are trainedbyDusiicon Martin Dreyer. Samsa,throughitscorporatesocialinvest-ment programme, identifiedasquadofover60youngsterswhostarted their basic introduction to
canoeing, together with swim-ming and safety training, aboutthree months ago.
The squad includes Sphaman-dla Shozi, Patrick Canham, Sifun-do Gumede, Mhlonishwa Gcwen-sa, Mmeli Ndimande, NduduzoShozi, Mhlonishwa Hlongwaneand Nqobile Makhanya.
Hlongwanemaybetakenastheonly seasonedDusi paddler, com-ing in 27th position in last year’sK1Dusi. He is expected to provideleadership to the group.
SobuntuTilayi, chief operatingofficer for Samsa, said:
“One of ourmandates is to pro-mote water safety. Safety educa-tion is a key part of our functions
and the canoe race fits well withthis new project.
“We not only want tomake ca-noeing accessible to all, but wantto encourage more and moreyoungpeople to be active, and fol-low a healthy lifestyle.”
“Five schools initially tookpartin the programme,with immenseinterest shown from all. Somecouldnot evenswimbutwerepre-pared to battle rapids and take tothe water,” he said.
Today they have four crews.MapitsoDlepu, theheaderofSam-sa corporate social investmentprogrammesaidtheChangeALifeprogramme also extended to sup-porting the athletes in other areas
oftheir lives, fromeducationtonu-trition to getting their drivers li-cences, and learningkey life skills.

Dreyer added: “All these kidsare self-motivated. They want totrytheirbest.Theyunderstandthenature of the challenge and theyaredoingitpurelytoachieveagoalthat they have set themselves, notto impress anyone else.”
The Dusi Canoe Marathon willend on Saturday, February 15, atDurban’s Blue Lagoon.

THABO DLADLA
Neglected groundsWE are definitely letting down the present generationof footballers in Pietermaritzburg.It is sad that in a period when we expected things tobe a little better for football, the present administra
tion is letting us down.Why is Msunduzi Municipality neglecting the maintenance of soccer fields in this town? The situation isembarrassing and disappointing considering that thesport is played mainly by poor Black boys and girls.We have ordinary men and women like Malombo Ngcongo of Central Brothers making lots of sacrifices.Presently, we are experiencing lots of bad behaviourin our youth. Drug and alcohol abuse, early sexual involvement, criminal activities are some of the thingstearing our communities apart.People like Ngcongo spend their family’s monies torun football clubs and yet the ‘people’s’ municipalitycannot even cut grass and mark the fields. We haveregressed 100 years back. I have observed that manySAB clubs are struggling for transport, equipment likeballs, boots and even shin pads. It is crazy, for instance,that a club in Imbali stage 1 receive no support fromthe community.This is a township that has produced many people
in top positions in public and private sectors. Why doBlack people find it difficult to give back to their com
munities? It is important that we do some introspection and correct the wrongs.Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula made lots of noiseabout our footballers last week. How do our playersbecome better on unmarked fields? How do playersremain motivated in situations where coaching ispoor, there are no proper training facilities, no equipment and no food at home? It is easy to criticise whenyour children are enjoying the best sports facilities inprivate schools.I appeal to our honourable mayor and his team to
attend to the poor state of football facilities.The government cannot do everything. It is also important that we all make some contributions towardsacademic and sports education of the youth. Unzimalo mthwalo!
