THE controversial king ofAbaThembu, King BuyelekhayaDalindyebo, has announced thathe didn’t need any support fromgovernment and that the govern-

ment could also take back the stipend he iscurrently receiving.

Buyelekhaya made this announcementduring a meeting of the AbaThembu whichwas held at Nkulelekweni in Mthatha lastSunday.

The meeting formed part of consultationswith the Thembus, following a letter writtenby the president, giving the king 30 days to ex-plain why he should be allowed to keep his po-sition as king. Thousands of Thembus comingfrom as far as KwaZulu-Natal and the North-west Province gathered at Nkulelekweni.

During the meeting, all the Thembus sup-ported the king and lashed out at President-Zuma for interfering with the matters of Dlo-mos.

Addressing the meeting, King Buyele-khaya stressed that he would no longer belooking for any support from the govern-ment. “I am not worried about their stipendand I will never accept any vehicle from thegovernment. They must take their moneyand their car; I don’t need it anymore. If thereis something they gave me which I had forgot-ten to mention, they should remind me andcome and take it back,” said Buyelekhaya.

He said the members of the ANC didn’thave a problem with him, but that the leader-ship of the ANC did. He called on people notto describe the matter of his removal as trib-alism, because the Zulus had nothing to dowith the whole matter and that it was onlyan individual, namely President Zuma, whowants him out.

“Those people who are fighting me are notreal members of the Royal family. There are

only two people who are real members of theroyal house, myself and my young brother,Mankunku Dalindyebo. About my convic-tions, which were part of the complaint fromthe people who want me out, I never killed an-ybody which is a reason why I want the caseto be reviewed,” he said.

Dali Mpofu, a member of the King’s legalteam, described the case as a “fire of papers”.

He said the issue was not for the AbaThem-bu nation only, but one for all black South Af-ricans. “Don’t panic. AbaThembu must cometogether and fight this corruption by govern-ment. We had already written a letter to thePresident and we are expecting a response onAugust 11. We want him to tell us which royalfamily met and discussed the dethronementof the king. We want the President to reverse

the letter and to apologise to the King and theThembu nation.”

He said the President should also make apublic statement; failing which, by 16h00 onAugust 11, they would take further steps. Atrust which will assist in the legal battle inthis matter will be established and will be leadby local Mthatha business people and the en-tire AbaThembu nation.

THE Mthatha High Court sentenced a man(55) to two life sentences last Friday for rapinghis own two daughters over a period of time.

The rapist, who cannot be named to protectthe identity of his victims, was convicted ofraping his biological children between Febru-ary 2009 and February 2011 at their Ncambed-

lana Farms home.When the rapes started, the girls were two

and six years old respectively.During the trial, it emerged that the father

was a feared person in the community andused to rule his household with an iron fist.He was known to threaten anyone interferingwith his family and he owned a licensed fire-arm.

His wife, who married him when she was

19 years-old, 25 years younger than him, wassolely dependent on him. It took the courageof a neighbour to report the matter to the po-lice and the children were subsequently re-moved from their mother.

During the trial the mother testified thatwhen she became aware of the rapes she tookher daughters to her maiden home but thehusband forcefully fetched them.

The judge ordered that the two life sentenc-

es run concurrently.National Prosecuting Authority spokesper-

son, Luxolo Tyali said the NPA was satisfiedwith the sentence and said it would go a longway in showing rapists and would-be rapiststhat their actions would not be tolerated. “Wehope that the sentence will serve as a deter-rent to potential offenders.”

The case was prosecuted by State AdvocateEmily van Wyk.

POLICE recently made a big breakthroughin the fight against drugs after membersof the Mqanduli police arrested two menin the deep remote locality of UpperNgqwarha.

The men, believed to be drug-lords, wereoperating in Upper Ngqwarha and its near-by locations.

They were arrested with 15 envelopescontaining dagga and four pills of a drugcalled “boss” after normal patrols by mem-bers of the South African Police Services.When police entered the home andsearched it, they discovered the drugs.

Police spokesperson, Major General Za-mukulungisa Jozana, confirmed the ar-rests and said the two men were in posses-

Drug lords invading the deeprural areas in Tki

sion of drugs, dagga and a 9mm Norico fire-arm.

He said that it was the first time they hadmanaged to arrest someone in the posses-sion of “boss” in the area.

“It shows that the druglords now hadchanged their focus and were targeting thedeep remote rural areas, because there wasno place left for them in towns. We normallyused to seize things like dagga in rural areasbut not pills.

“It shows that these druglords havespread their wings to destroy rural peoplewith these drugs,” said Jozana.

He stressed that they would ensure thatthey maintain their patrols to fight the sell-ing of drugs in the deep remote areas.

He said the gun would be sent for ballistictests while the suspects would be kept incustody at Mqanduli.

THE Provincial Department of Human Set-tlements handed over new homes to 7 desti-tute families in Qunu village to celebrateMandela Month.

The elderly beneficiaries are neighbours ofthe former president, tata Nelson Mandela.In total the Department will build 241 homesfor Mvezo, Mqhekezweni and Qunu families.

The handovers formed part of the Depart-ment’s Destitute and Vulnerable groups pro-gramme which responds immediately to thehousing needs of the elderly, disabled, childheaded families and military veteran’s in theProvince.

“Today we are here in Qunu for the Mande-la Build to restore your dignity and give youan opportunity to live a better life, in honourof Nelson Mandela,” said MEC Sauls-August.

The new homes were fully furnished withbeds, kitchen cupboards, lounge suites, fridg-es, stoves and other appliances including gro-ceries from sponsors. The families were ec-

static when they walked into their newhomes. “I’m very happy; I feel blessed today,God has come down,” said an 84-year-old No-qondile Bida.

Another beneficiary 59-year-oldNophindile Nyoka, said her life and that ofher family would never be the same again.She lives with her 7 children and 12 grand-children. “This new home will accommodateme and my family; we will now be comforta-ble,” said an emotional Nyoka.

The MEC Sauls-August appealed to thebeneficiaries to look after their new homesand not to sell or rent them out.

“This asset from government is extra spe-cial because it is given to you during the birthmonth of tata Mandela, a man who gave self-lessly to the nation and should be treated assuch,” she added.

The programme was spread over 3 days,starting with the visit to the homes for finalpainting, greening and cleaning.

The second day was a Moral Regenerationprogramme through sports and the last daywas the handover of the houses.

MEMBERS of the Dlomos who are champion-ing the dethronement of the controversialAbaThembu king Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo,had explained to the media why they felt theking needed to step down and hand back thespear.

This followed a letter from the Presidentthatwas delivered to the king on Friday, July25, in which the President gave the king 30days to motivate why he should not be de-throned.The letter was based on a clause of the Tra-

ditional Leadership and Governance Frame-work Act, which states that a king or queencould be removed from office if they faced aprison sentence of longer than a year.The anti-Dalindyebo Dlomos emphasized

that Dalindyebo needed to be dethroned, be-cause he has embarrassed the AbaThembunation several times with his “ill-informedsuggestions” and other utterances.In his address, Nkosi Daludumo Mtirara,

said the king was found guilty and sentencedto 15 years in prison without the option of afine for various crimes includingmurder, ar-son, assault, kidnapping and defeating theends of justice.They also labelled Dalindyebo as the one

who brutally assaulted father JonguhlangaSabatha Dalindyebo and his mum Nomos-cow. Mtirara also said Dalindyebo smokeddagga publicly in the presence of the elders.“He fathered some of the late King Jonguh-

langa Sabatha Dalindyebo’s children and

grandchildren. He also ordered his wife to re-move a customary spear,” said Mtirara.They also claimed that Dalindyebo had

failed to attend the funeral of his motherNomoscow, his wife, queen Nolwazi and hisbrother from the Right house of King Jonguh-langa, Bandile Dalindyebo.“When we advised him to consider the wife

of thenation, he arrogantly told the royal fam-ily that “you picked her, you poke her”,” said

Mtirara. He, as a member of the royal familyhadbeen trying toadviseDalindyebo, but thathis efforts were in vain. He said as the Royalfamily they were keen to begin the process ofreviving and rebuilding the credibility oftheir monarchy, which he claimed had suf-fered much under the incumbent the King.They said that once the spear was removed,

the Royal family would consult with all otherhouses with an interest in this matter to plan

the way forward. The Dlomos who led theprocess of removing Dalindyebo, includes hisyounger brother Jongisizwe Dalindyebo.The chairperson of this group, Nkosi

Thanduxolo Mtirara, uncle to King Buyele-khaya stressed that they wanted to take thecustomary spear from Buyelekhaya, becausehe was being disrespectful.The king’s spokespeople could not be

reached for comment.

BHISHO government will have to move swift-ly andprovide support to ailingprovincialmu-nicipalities after all 45 municipalities in theEastern Cape failed to receive a clean auditfrom the auditor-general.

Auditor-General (AG) Kimi Makwetu pre-sented his 2012-13 audit reports last weekwhich revealed that themajority ofmunicipal-ities performed dismally, with at least sevenreceiving disclaimers.OR Tambo, King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD),

Alfred Nzo and Ngqushwa, again received dis-claimers. Ngqushwa Municipality has re-ceived a disclaimer for the past three consecu-tive financial audit years.The province’s twometros , Buffalo City and

Nelson Mandela Bay, stagnated and receivedqualified audits (with findings) while Amath-ole District Municipality also stagnated andreceived anunqualified report (with findings).Makwetu said Ngqushwa,Makana and Sun-

days River failed to submit their financialstatementswithin the prescribed timelines for

auditing adding that the financial statementssubmitted by most municipalities were againof poor quality, resulting in an unacceptablehigh level of material audit adjustments need-ed to produce credible financial statements.Makwetu attributed the poor performance

to poor financial management, dysfunctionalsupply chain management (SCM) and lack ofpolitical will.The overall total expenditure of the provin-

cial municipalities amounted to R37.4-billionfor the 2012-13 financial period.This amount is made of R6.6-billion for pay-

roll costs including councillors, R26.1-billionfor goods and services and R4.7-billion in capi-tal expenditure. The twometros accounted for42% of total expenditure.Irregular expenditure increased significant-

ly from R2.2-billion in the previous year toR3.3-billion during the year under review.“The province reflects a concerning picture

on the drivers of the internal control environ-ment, which is underpinned by a lack of com-mitment by political and administrative lead-ership to respond swiftly to our messages, alack of policies, procedures and controls for

document management, the absence of dailyandmonthly financial controls andpoormoni-toring of compliance with legislation,” saidMakwetu.About 84%of the provincialmunici-palities had difficulty in recovering their out-standing debts which could lead to difficultyin rendering services.DA MPL Bobby Stevenson said the heart of

EBOLA is currently ravaging western Africaand is reported to be spreading to other coun-tries. Why is the disease so contagious?

The currentEbola outbreakhaskillednear-ly 700 people, mostly in the west African na-tions of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.However, a recent traveller who died of thedisease in Lagos, Nigeria, has highlighted theease with which the disease could spread.Lewis Brown, the information minister of

Liberia, was quoted as telling Reuters that“(the disease) is a major public health emer-gency.”He said thatEbola is fierce anddeadlyand expressed fears that it may continuespreading.Is South Africa at risk?Theoretically, an outbreak anywhere on

the globe, including South Africa, that re-ceives a regular visitor influx fromwest Afri-ca, is just a plane flight or boat or bus rideaway.These include illegal immigrants, asylum

seekers, business and leisure travellers andcontract workers.HealthMinister AaronMotsoaledi has said

that there is no need for South Africans topanic. He said that precautions were beingtaken to prevent the virus from entering the

country and assured South Africans that thesurveillance activities in place were extreme-ly effective.TheHeadofMedicalVirologyat theUniver-

sity of Stellenbosch, Professor Wolfgang Pre-iser, told The Daily Maverick that the mostlikely scenario iswhenbetter-off people in thearea come to SouthAfrica for treatment - sim-ilar to the Gabon case in 1996.DrMark Gendreau who specialises in avia-

tionmedicine atLaheyMedicalCentre inPea-body, Massachusits, told NPR (National Pub-lic Radio in the US) that the virus is not thateasily transmitted.He recalled the case of a Gabon man who

had clear symptoms of Ebola and who board-ed a plane to Johannesburg to seek medicaltreatment in 1996. He had a fever above 41 de-grees C and signs of internal bleeding.Theman reached the hospital where hewas

treated and he didn’t infect anyone during hisflight or other travels, the European Centrefor Disease Prevention and Control reported,although other reports - that cannot yet beverified - state that he infected a nurse at thehospital and she died of the disease.Whether the virus spreads rapidly depends

on how many people are infected (1 201 casesreported during the current outbreak) andthe degree of travel from the outbreak area.The current outbreak is the deadliest ever

on record, and is currently not under control.

One of the leading doctors battling the dis-ease in Liberia died on Sunday after contract-ing the disease earlier in the week.Ebola kills up to 90% of those it infects; this

rate is especially high in countries with poorhealthcare and a populace unwilling to re-ceive treatment, as is the case in the afore-mentioned African nations.Aside from its lethality, Ebola is also high-

ly, highly contagious. The disease has an in-cubation period of up to 21 days and takes be-tween 1 and 2 weeks to kill sufferers oncesymptoms begin to manifest themselves.There is currently no cure for the illness.

How is Ebola transmitted?

Ebola is spread by coming into contact withthe bodily fluids of infected animals or indi-viduals, or people who died from the disease.This includes sweat, blood and saliva.The infectiouspotential of thedisease is such

that coming into contact with a single drop ofsweat or spit froman infectedperson - and thentransmitting the virus to your nose or mouthwhen you touch these organs - could cause acompletely healthy person to become infected.It is also often transmitted to medical per-

sonnel via hypodermic needles used in treat-ing patients with Ebola fever, and to lab per-sonnel who handle samples.There are several strains of Ebola. Genome

sampling of infected patients has suggestedthat the current outbreak is due to the Zairestrain, which is the deadliest strain known toman.The disease can also be caught from in-fected animals.According to the WHO, animals that may

carry the illness include Gorillas, monkeys,fruit bats and porcupines. Infected fruit batsin particular have been known to travel as faras New Zealand and do not show any symp-toms of the disease.Compounding this problem is the fact that

Ebola is a haemorrhagic virus, meaning thatit causes large amounts of bleeding in infectedindividuals. Combined with the fact that fe-ver causes sufferers to sweat profusely, onecan see how the transmission vector of the ill-ness is, in a sense, self-propagating.The ease of transmission is the reason why

so many medical professionals succumb tothe illness when treating it. In addition to thedeath of Dr Samuel Brisbane in Liberia, theSierra Leone Ministry of Health also an-nounced that its leading physician, SheikhUmar Khan is also battling the disease.Nurses have abandoned hospitals with con-

firmed cases of the disease after several diedas a result of treating infected people.Doctors treating the illnessesnowwearpos-

itive-pressure suits similar to those worn bythose dealing with toxic chemicals. – Source:www.health24.com

STRINGENT measures have been put inplace at South African airports to identifypassengers displaying symptoms of thedeadly Ebola virus and help prevent itsspread, The National Department of Healthhas said.

This follows concerns that the deadlyEbo-la virus is spreading beyond West Africaand is at risk of becoming the latest diseaseto be spread by international air travel.SAnews.gov.za reports that both ORTam-

bo International and Lanseria Airport havethermal scanners to detect travellers withraised temperatures.Once identified, the travellers will be as-

sessed by medical officials at the necessaryfacilities available, with special attentionbeing given to patients with a travel historyto West Africa.The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), as

well as the health ministry, were alerted tothe outbreak of the disease in West Africaas early as April and started addressing thechallenges posed immediately.An alert was circulated shortly after the

outbreak, prompting all Port Health offi-cials to be aware of the EVD outbreak andhave a high index of suspicion for travellersdisplaying symptoms.HealthMinister Dr AaronMotsoaledi has

confirmed that necessary steps have beentaken to detect and treat the disease shouldit arrive in the country, and that SouthAfri-can citizens had no need to panic.The deadliest outbreak of Ebola to date

has been exacerbated by the death of a 40-year-oldLiberianFinanceMinistry employ-ee Patrick Sawyer after hewas able to boarda flight fromLiberia toNigeriawhile clearlydisplaying various viral haemorrhagic fe-ver symptoms.Authorities say Sawyer, who boarded a

flight in Liberia, had a stopover in Ghana,changed planes in Togo, and then arrived inNigeria - died a few days later from Ebola.International Civil Aviation Organiza-

tion Secretary General Raymond Benjaminsaid, “Until now (the virus) has not impact-ed on commercial aviation, but now we’re

affected.”Earlier this week, Airports Company

South Africa spokesperson, Unathi Bat-yashe-Fillis, confirmed that The NationalDepartment of Health is monitoring allports of entry into South Africa.

Here’swhat travellers need to knowaboutthe Ebola Virus as detailed by WHO- Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly

known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a se-vere, often fatal illness in humans.- EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate

of up to 90%.

- EVD outbreaks occur primarily in re-mote villages in Central and West Africa,near tropical rainforests.- The virus is transmitted to people from

wild animals and spreads in the human pop-ulation throughhuman-to-human transmis-sion. The disease is not spread through theair like the flu virus but through bodily flu-ids.- Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are

considered to be the natural host of the Ebo-la virus.- Severely ill patients require intensive

supportive care. No licensed specific treat-ment or vaccine is available for use in peo-ple or animals.- Containing the virus is extremely impor-

tant as a single case can quickly turn into

Measures in place at SAairports an epidemic.- Symptoms will develop about 21 days af-

ter infection and include fever, headache,muscle pain and weakness.- Other symptoms may involve a rash,

nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain anddiarrhoea. Internal/external bleeding oc-curs in some cases, which can lead to shockand massive hemorrhage.- Travellers heading to this area should

keep abreast of where the affected areas areand avoid direct contact with people whoare sick.- Administer strict hygiene conditions by

regularly washing hands and avoiding con-tact with infected humans, if necessarywere protective clothing and gloves. –Source: www.news24.com

MATHS pupils from grade one to matric nowhave access to over 950 freemaths lessons pre-sented in their mother tongue.

This is thanks to a group of 20 passionateyoung South African university students,who invested hundreds of hours of their timeto translate over 950 Khan Academy onlinevideo lessons from English into isiXhosa.

The entire school maths syllabus is nowavailable on the internet in isiXhosa.

Pupils can either do the lessons individual-ly, or they can be used in a classroom settingin which the teachers can monitor theprogress of each pupil.

All the lessons and teachers’ modules areavailable free.

They can be played on any device with aweb browser.

While the Khan courses are available inover 30 languages, it is the first time the les-sons have been translated into an indigenousSouth African language.

A Cape-based organisation, Numeric, hasmatched the South African school syllabuswith Khan Academy lessons.

This ground-breaking translation is thebrainchild of two graduates from the Univer-sity of Cape Town, Adrian Cox and PratikPokharel, who was raised in East London.

Adrian Cox is from Durban.The two formed a non-profit organisation

called ClickMaths in 2012 in their undergrad-uate year with the belief that the best way toimprove SouthAfrica’s strugglingmathemat-ics education system is through the use offreely-available, open-source technology.

The two successfully tested the concept andthen with the help of private backers took theproject a step further with the help of a groupof 20 isiXhosa-speaking students studyinghigh-level mathematics.

The students translated the online Khanvideo lessons from English so that primaryand secondary learners can learn mathemat-ics in their home language.

Cox and Pokharel believe that the future of

education involves a system where teachersspend less time on administrative tasks, suchas preparing lessons and marking, and moretime on the truly important aspects of learn-ing. They also believe maths competency willimprove dramatically if learned in a mothertongue as well as English.

The translations are based on content fromKhan Academy, a world-class, free platformthat allows students to customise their ownlearning experience.

ClickMaths isiXhosa incorporates KhanAcademy video lessons, interactive assess-ments and advanced analytics. It is ideal forlearners in and outside of the classroom tostudy at their own pace, according to formerproject manager Monique Baars.

A teacher tool component allows teachersto monitor each student’s progress andadapts the learning experience to each indi-vidual.

In the classroom teachers canhelp learnersby monitoring their progress and goals, cre-ate personalised recommendations aboutwhat to learn next andmotivate them tomas-ter the skills they seek.

Baars says the translations have changedthe lives of many of the students who workedon the project.

It took almost nine months to complete the950 videos.

The group initially started with threetranslators and then increased to 20.

“We were very specific about the kind oftranslator we needed. Someone who couldspeak isiXhosa; had a good understanding ofEnglish and was involved in University levelmaths.

We were also conscious of the fact that thiswould be a part time job, so we needed stu-dents who were driven, ambitious and pas-sionate about maths.

“Finding the candidates was the easy partas almost all Xhosa speaking students couldempathise with the language barrier issueand wanted to become involved to help theirown communities and families.

“Our interview and selection process wasvery stringent, but we found the desired

number of translators easily,” she says.Baars says the beauty of the project is that

the translations can be done anywhere at anytime and many students actually worked atnight and during theweekend to complete thework.

All translations were then checked and putthrough a quality control check point with anexperienced linguistic expert to check forpace, tone, language and accuracy.

According to Dave Marsh, a publisher whohas backed the project, the next challenge isovercoming shortages in the availability ofbandwidth for some schools in the more re-mote areas. He says with technology evolvingall the time, however, students can accessKhan Academy tutorials using inexpensive

technology such as the Rasberry Pi, for exam-ple. This is a wallet-sized server designed inBritain for education and costs less thanR800.It holds the entire Khan Academy maths syl-labus in both English and isiXhosa and canlink to over 30 students in a class via Wi-Fi,without the need to be online.

Marsh confirmed that the long term visionof the project was to translate the syllabus in-to all the official languages. Clickmaths hasalready started on phase 2 of the project usingmathematics undergraduates at theUniversi-ty of the Witwatersrand to translate the les-sons into isiZulu.

YET again Grade 12 learners were advisedto choose Maths and Science during a ca-reer exhibition that took place in Mthathalast week.

The career exhibition was hosted by theOR Tambo District Municipality in part-nership with Anglo Gold Ashanti and theDepartment of Education at the MthathaAirport.

As the purpose of the exhibition was tohelp matriculants in choosing the right ca-reer paths and understand available oppor-

tunities in various institutions, every de-partment, Private and State Owned Enter-priseswho exhibited stressed the vitality ofMaths and Science in the modern South Af-rica. “Maths and Science will take you eve-rywhere. Our country’s economy is waver-ing, and it is mostly dependent on the min-ing sector. South Africa is in a greatdemand of engineers, and Maths and Sci-ence inGrade 12 are a primary requirementif one aspires to be an engineer regardless,”said Dr Oupa Nkagisang of the Anglo GoldAshanti to the matriculants who attendedthe exhibition. However, despite the em-phasis onMaths and Science, every subject

and careerwaswell illustrated and present-ed to the learners.

In an endeavour tomotivate schools to dobetter best performing schools in the regionwere awarded with money. Anglo GoldAshanti as the hosts of the career exhibi-tion, gave away R180 000 in cheques to bestperformers with St John’s College takingR60 000, Toli Secondary School also takingR60 000 and a learner Yolisa Liwani fromSt John’s College taking R60 000 for beingthe best performing matriculant in the re-gion last year. Liwani is currently doinghisfirst year inMedicine studies at theUniver-sity of Cape Town.

Mmm, it means the boy loves his sugarmamaand he is not shy even in public places.

Okay guys, here is a story. There is a guywhom we used to meet in the company of anold woman in UTA.Initially we thought shewas hismother but

recently we found out the truth.The guy was in a shop which is situated

near the railway station in UTA.Hey, they were holding hands touching

each other everywhere and they didn’t mindpeople who were watching them in the super-market.Theywere kissing each other in front of the

tellers when they were paying for their itemsand bekubooncam ncee bodwa abathengi-weyo.Bekwenzenjani bethuna?Uthimhlawumbe

bekungekhomali ibingenele umagriza lo?Ka-loku sibone that hype in love even the sugarmom ebengazibekanga phantsi enqabulanaye futhi ubona ukubaufuna ukulihlaba lin-gene.I wonder where are the men who are the

same age as hers e-abuser umntwananje?Ma-ra sidlala ngogogo because ezi ntwana aresaying the girls who are at their age do notgratify them and they are out there whereassugar mums, they have that warmth and ten-der care yaye badinwa yile ndlela.Shame, bangafane babe-warm, mara mna

Gesh I will never allow my boys Fifaman ifnot Bongomafin being used by the old ladywho is older than me.

Hayi, shame that boy was not shy for hissugar mama siyancoma.

I wonder uyakutshintsha nini?

Uyazi sometimes uye uphatheke kabuhlu-ngu xa ubona umntu omdala onabantwanaacting irresponsible. Kanti ke ixesha lona li-yahamba alimanga nabantwana, bayakhulaand you are supposed to be their role model.Kaloku bafethu zonke izinto zinexesha lazo

apha ebomini and kufanele uzenze ugqitheudedele abezayo.Injalo moss.Awuhlali kwezi zinto as usazi ukuba nakwi

adolescent stage wafika wagqitha. Njaningoku ukuba kube khona uhleli kuzo? Nathibantwabam sajujuma sagqitha sadedelaabanye.Ayive isitsho njalo na nengoma kwezi nda-

wo zobumnandi?Kuyakwayintoni ngoku makwedini na-

naye ngoo6 ekuseni siphuthuma empangel-weni, yena umanzi kukunxila and unuka um-phanda kuyabonakala ukuba akalalanga.“Uvelaphi Bongi? Kubuza uGesh.” “YHOO!Chomie ndivela kojujuma oko kwango-Lwesihlanu bhuti”, utsho and unamabhongongale nto yakhe.Shame, kunzima. Kuyacaca ukuba nango-

na emanzi kukunxila nje kona ikhona into

emxelelayo ukuba yi-Mondaykuyaphangelwa kuba naku esicela ukubasimkhaphe ayohlamba kwa-boyfriend e-Ngaru ufuna ukuya emsebenzini.Njani enuka umphanda, hey sorry ligama

Perhaps he blew his money in booze

Have you ever met a person who used to bea big “shot” but later on saw him/her to bedown and out?Kaloku there is this chapwho used to spend

too much money on booze – drinking expen-sive whiskies.I remember one day in Mbuqe butchery we

were compelled to wait until they finished tobraai their meat because it occupied the en-tire braaing area and they were carrying,dumpies of beers, ciders and bottles of whis-kies.Let alone being in the company of beautiful

ladies and pasop those ladies of the night canruinyourwealth if ungaphikanabo. Since theguy had money he was drinking as if therewas no tomorrow and it may happen there

would be no money in that tomorrow.He forgot one thing – that in life there is

always a tomorrow, but the problem is no oneknows what it will be holding for him/her.Oh!! Shame kwathi kanti this big “shot” histomorrow will be penniless, poor and one ofpoverty. That is life.Listen attentively, when God offers you

something, safeguard it and use it wisely andensure it will sustain you in the near futurebecause you will never know what tomorrowentails for you.Mfethu, that man now inxiba ophaqa aba

batshiphu kuthiwa ngamabhamfoqo bazinxi-tyelwa ngala ma-timer asezilalini no moreomega sandals and other expensive shoes.Where is the money? He spent it on booze

and girls.He was even asking uGesh to offer him a

job of assisting in distributing the paper butnot here in UTA, because he fears that his oldfriends at ebumnandini will laugh at himwhen they see him in the streets of UTA sell-ing the papers if not distributing free. OW!Life.Ndase ndakhumbula uGudl’abatshakazi

abanemali, xa wayesithi yena ufuna aqale aziilizwe phambi kokuba limazi yena.Try to find ukubawhat was he trying to say

mara ise ingathi uthi ungangaqali ngokudu-ma waziwe ezweni ugqibele ngokudla umhla-ba.Okay let’s leave it like this iindaba azipheli

Fourie in the 5th round ding-dong battleto score high in the penultimate event ofthe innovative boxing league.

Both boxers kissed the canvas twice inthe fight, but it was the East London pugil-ist who had the last laugh when Fourie’scorner threw in a towel and referee AlanMatakane stopped the proceedings in 2min 48 seconds. Fourie had gone down af-ter taking a vicious uppercut from the tall-er East Londoner.

This result, however, will not take Bokolowith 24 fights, 17 wins, six losses and a soli-tary draw anywhere closer to the people’sidol and favourite Xolisani “Nomeva”Ndon-geni who is standing tall on the score-board.

Fourie dropped to 23 fights, 16 wins, sixdefeats and a stalemate.

WBF Pan African bantamweight champi-on Thabo Sishwana of Duncan Village beatnational bantamweight champion TotoHelebe of Cape Town on points in a hard-

fought battle. The duo will meet again in thenot-too-distant future as Sishwana is a man-datory challenger for Helebe’s national dia-dem. Ex-two time SA Junior-flyweight cham-pion Mfundo Gwayana (Mdantsane) beat theleague’s first-timer Mzwabantu Dabaza ofUitenhage on points in the Flyweight divisionwhile a featherweight contest between Aphi-we Mboyiya of East London and Gauteng-based Limpopo pugilist Oscar Chaukewas de-clared a draw.
