BUSINESS: NDLOVINI RESIDENTS SAY NO MORE TO SOMALI SHOPS

Somalis under threatA group of residents in Endlovini in-

formal settlement in KhayelitshacloseddownaSomali shopat theweek-

end after a protest.Residents claimed that the Somalis didnot

have approval from community leaders toset up the shop.But by Monday the shop was open again.Linda Mtenjwa, who rented out his place

to the Somalis for the shop, dismissed the al-legations that community leaders were notconsulted.Mtenjwa said he had personally consulted

community leaders who had signed a letterapproving the shop.“I used to run my own shop here but I de-

cided to close this shop and opted to open theshop in Site B.And I thought I should rent out this prop-

erty to Somaliswhowere keen to run a shop.I do have a letter signed and it has a stamp

of approval from the community, to allowingthe Somalis to operate,” he said.Mtenjwa said he had pleaded with the

community leaders to set up a meeting andfind a solution.

But some residents and community lead-ers had wanted him to close the shop firstand he had refused.The residents gathered at the shop on 27

February and chanted that they were givingthe Somalis “aminute” to pack their belong-ings and leave the area.Mtjenjwa said hewould not close the shop.

“I will never chase away these Somalis be-cause theypay rent and if I chase themaway,who will give me that rent?” he said.Zuko Mafu, a community leader, said

therewere 32 Somali shops in Endlovini and

the leaders and the community had agreedno more would be allowed.He said that the people who had approved

of the shop were no longer recognised(as alegitimate structure) and had been demoteda long time ago, but they had refused to re-turn the community stamp.Mafu said the shop-owner Mohammed

Amed had been called to a meeting but hehad been “very rude”.However,Ameddenied this.”Theyare just

making up things,” he said.GroundUp

MOTIVATIONZyd Mzamo

You only live once, soappreciate gift of life“Poverty is not ordained by God; it iscaused by devil.” – Unknown.

Whether you believe it or not, it is upto you. But I think you ought to believeit and shake yourself out of your slum-ber.

Because you have been sleeping. You’vebeen believing what everybody has beensaying; that you are not the cause ofyour poverty. Someone else is. And thatsomeone is whatever.

And you can’t argue with that, especial-ly if it is political. Politics is judgemen-tal. It is bullying. It does not give youfree thought. It wants you to do as itsays. It does not allow you to be yourown boss.

And think for yourself. And arguethings out. Think about them.

Suppose it was true, that poverty iscaused by the devil. Which is true. Butfor some, it may not for reasons knownto them.

Some of which is that it may put themout of business. They don’t want to beout of business. They want to be in themidst of things, so that they may reapthe rewards of intimidation.

When you depend on an individual torescue you, while you have the means torescue yourself, you will remain whereyou are. Think about it; so many promis-es have been made.

“We will do this for you.” They are stilldoing it. And you can’t forget your lucky.You can’t forget individuals volunteeringto do things for you. The question is;why don’t you do them for yourself?

The answer is simple: you are lazy.You don’t want to take responsibility foryour life. Your poverty is not caused byyou. It is caused by others. Someone onceasked me, “Why are we poor?”

That someone who asked me that; issomeone who blows his money as soon ashe gets it. He goes out with friends. Hebuys them beer, and braai them meat.And it is fun all round the show. As soonas his money is gone, they desert him.

It is like as if he had no “friends.”Where are they? Gone. And when he ispenniless, he can’t even buy himself atoilet paper. Not to mention food. Every-day, he has to be given a plate of food.

This is how the devil operates. It takesyou away from your dream. It tells youdreams don’t work. Forget about them.Have fun. Enjoy life.

This is what it likes to say, enjoy life.Be loose. Be promiscuous. These aremodern times. Everyone is doing it. Don’tbe left behind. Do it too. You are now anadult. This is your life. Nobody has aright to tell you what to do. And youplunge into poverty. Forever gone.

Happy Homba Primary School staff and learners showing the cheque they won throughthe OMO Spar Challenge.

Schools foamin soap rivalryA Khayelitsha school is one of the threein the province to win prizemoney in theOmo Spar Schools Challenge.

The challenge is an ongoing initiativeby Unilever and 197 Spar stores acrossthe country that helps promote child de-velopment and proficiency in maths andscience.

The first, second and third schools ineach region inSouthAfricawith themosttill slip collections over the period of thecampaign each received cash prizes ofR30 000, R20 000 and R10 000 respectivelyfor use towards the upgrade of theirschool.

Homba Primary, Vanguard Primaryand Downeville Primary were theseschools, with the stores in their respec-tive collecting the highest number of tillslips in the Western Cape region.

The top 150 schools with the highestnumber of entries had each receivedminiportable science laboratories.

At a prize-giving event recently, Hom-baPrimary School principal Samkelo Tu-kulula said he was very excited.

“The Omo Spar Schools Challenge waseasy for us because of the support fromeducators, learners and parents. Theywere all dedicated and eager to win. Weare going to renovate our computer lab

with the prize money.“The community of Homba as a whole

truly appreciates what OMO has doneand I cannot express my gratitudeenough,” he said.

The OMO Fast Kids Maths App whichformed an integral part of the initiative,is an interactive online learningplatformcatering for various levels of educationalexperience and mathematical aptitude.

The platform enables learners to prac-tise their mathematical skills throughvarious exercises including numberbonds, time tables andgeneral arithmeticin the comfort and safety of their homes.

A virtual reward mechanism was usedto encourage regular engagement amongusers.

“Education has long been a key focusarea for Unilever with several school ini-tiatives in place to enhance the wellbeingand livelihood of our nation’s future lead-ers,” said Andrew Mysell, OMO market-ing manager. “The 2015Challengehad re-ceived overwhelming support fromschools and even from parents whoplayed an active role in ensuring theirchildren have a bright future ahead. Itgives us immense joy to provide the re-sources necessary for children to excel intheir academic environment.”

New-born bundle of joy’s criesraised shepherd’s curiosityMfuleni police are seeking the assistance ofthe community in locating the mother of anew born baby who was found on Saturday.

The baby was found by a shepherd whowas walking off the cows in the bushes nearBosasa temporary housing in Mfuleni onSaturday morning.

Captain Nomathemba Muavha said thesherperd heard a baby crying and saw abundle moving in a blanket unattended andnotified the police.

“The baby boy was found covered in ablanket. The baby might be few days old,”she said.

Anyone with information that can lead tothem locating the whereabouts of the moth-er is requested to contact Captain Nomath-emba Muavha at Mfuleni police Station on021-909 9593 or 082 499 4650.

Meanwhile a study revealed twice asmany children were abandoned in the pastyear compared to the year before, the ChildWelfare centre said.

Thousands of children a year are beingabandoned, with the number reaching atleast 1 200 in four provinces namely theWesternCape, Limpopo,KwaZuluNatal andFree State.

More than 40 children were being dumpedin the Free State every month.

Mondli Mvambi, spokesperson for the De-partment of Social Development, said 477

children were reported abandoned in thepast 12 months. KwaZulu-Natal is also re-porting high figures, especially of newbornbabies, but only sporadic cases are being re-ported in Limpopo.

LindaNaidoo, spokesperson forChildline,saidmore childrenwere being abandoned inKwaZulu-Natal, mainly because of poverty.

“KwaZulu-Natal is one of the poorest prov-inces in the country and that’s why we haveso many such cases.

“HIV-Aids is another cause because manymothers find themselves unable to copewiththe demands of raising an HIV-positive ba-by, she said.

Cape may take lead in jobsCape Town wants to create 200 000 jobsin the offshore call centre business overthe next five years, taking on majorplayers like India and the Philippines.But the industry needs about R312million to create 10 000 jobs.

The city’s trade and investment direct-or, Lance Greyling, said the businessprocess outsourcing (BPO) sector had thegreatest potential for job creationamongst the youth of Cape Town.

The city’s latest Economic PerformanceIndicators for Cape Town (Epic) reportreveals that, apart from tourism, the BPOindustry has been the biggest provider ofjobs – over 45 000 in the Western Capeover the past 10 years.

The 29 400 offshore jobs are more thanKwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng combined.

It is estimated that the call centrebusinesses contribute R10.9 billion to theWestern Cape’s Gross Geographic Prod-uct. Historically, India has been theleading country in terms of the offshorecall centre industry but the Philippineshas also managed to create over a millionjobs in this sector.

According to the Epic report, thecurrent domestic conditions and the weakrand make BPO a strategically importantexport industry for Cape Town in theshort to medium term.

Mayor Patricia de Lille said the citywas determined to support the BPOindustry to create jobs.

“When you give an unemployed persona job, you restore their dignity and faithand make them feel like part of thecountry,’’ said De Lille.

For the past four years, the city hadbeen trying to shift the perception thatCape Town was a tourism destinationonly, she added.

Gareth Pritchard, the chief executive ofBusiness Process Enabling South Africa(BPESA) said the country had the

potential to create 500 000 jobs in thissector.

“If we get the skills pool right, workreadiness and middle management,there’s no reason why we can’t grow thisindustry.

“We need a healthy mix of skills andmanagement,’’ he said.

“The challenge to meeting this target istwofold: raising the funds to trainthousands of jobseekers, and getting themto the point of being ready to work.

“If we don’t address the core skillschallenges, nothing will change,” saidPritchard.

BPESA is largely targeting internation-al companies to outsource their callcentres to South Africa.

Major service providers involved inbringing overseas contracts to Cape Towninclude Vodafone, Shell, Amazon, Wal-mart, Lufthansa, British Gas and EasyJet.

A proposal has been submitted to theJobs Fund to assist in the development ofskills academies, so that young schoolleavers and unemployed graduates can betrained to take up jobs as call centreoperators and managers.

The industry also requires capableyoung leaders – 10 leaders for every 100jobs.

Unemployed graduates, Pritchard said,had the potential of stepping into theseleadership roles.

According to BPESA, research hasfound that in 30 percent of cases, SouthAfrican operators serving overseascountries are offering a better servicethan their counterparts abroad.

The quarterly labour force survey,released last week, revealed that unem-ployment in the Western Cape is current-ly standing at 19.4 percent, below thenational average of 24.5 percent.

It has the lowest unemployment rate ofall provinces in the country.

come to this school are from disadvantagedbackground and he too was once one ofthem.”

She said that they school was strugglingwith the limited number of PCs theyhad andthat their donation has come at the righttime.“It has been really tough since we have a

on board and lend a hand.The schools governing body also wel-

Write to usAre we prepared, as a nation,to beat the looming recessionWhen South Africa was going through arecession a few years ago, I neverunderstood or felt the pinch. To me itwas all good.Then I didn’t have a house or car

repayments. And I never had any respon-sibilities. The World Bank has warnedthat South Africa’s economy is at the riskof falling into a recession. The bank hasalso released a report revising ourgrowth forecast to just 0,8% for this year.The International Monetary Fund fore-cast our growth to 0,7%. After all of thisdowngrading and forecasts, some peoplestill say we are safe from recession.How long are we going to be at the

edge of a recession? Will South Africabounce back despite the pressure fromthe global slowdown? Is it only govern-ment’s responsibility to fight this eco-

nomic crisis? I have personally decided tobe the CEO of my own finances, to be themanager of my expenditure.It is time for all South Africans to start

taking action and taking charge of theirfinances. We don’t have to act whenrecession hits. We should act now bystarting to record all the expenses andcreate budgets, which will help us decideon priorities.It is time to have different saving and

investment plans for different goals andto be disciplined. We can only start doingso by cutting unnecessary expenditurelike using one car if going the samedirection, avoiding takeaways, andcutting down on clothing accounts andother debt.

Our education shouldbe about how to thinkIt appears that our pupils who excel atacademic level, nevertheless struggle tosolve life problems posed by real lifesituations.This observation is brought to true life

as they enter tertiary institutions wherereal life problems are no longer a theory.Perhaps this needs us to scrutinize and

find the distinction between teachers andeducators as well as the roles theyperform.It’s possible that everyone can teach,

but not everyone can educate. Havingstudents that know the subject but fail toapply it in real life situations is notsomething to be proud of. Lack of skillsto relate to general fields of study or lifeproblems could be the main cause of thehigh suicide rate among our students.A student comes from township and

suddenly finds himself smack-bang in the

midle of a multi-racial-cultural environ-ment, may find the situation intimidat-ing, to say the least; couple this with theever attendant challenges posed bytertiary life.The basis of this can be traced from

the type of teachers that we have at ourschools, people who teach syllabus relatedsubjects [syllabus teachers] which arefar-fetched from the reality of theirworld.Take Life Orientation subject as an

example. It should command morerespect than mathematics, but has beenrelegated to a lesson on sex relatedissues. We need to be critical about suchissues. The education that we haveshould teach us how to think rather thanwhat to think as Socrates once said.

Taxi owners must supportThe taxi industry is the most successfulblack-run business sector in South Africa.Most taxi bosses have a large fleet of

minibuses at their disposal and employhundreds of drivers.The taxi business is a vital part of

township life.Because of this, I believe it has an

important part to play in fighting the tikor drug scourge.Society always complains about drug

addiction among the youth.But some of us, especially taxi drivers,

are the ones who give money to addictsto satisfy their drug craving.Our unemployed youth stand on street

corners around townships, some beingused as touts for passenegers. For this,the drivers pay them a small fee.It is a well-known fact that most of

these young people, use this money to

buy drugs. Why are we allowing this tohappen? Feeding schemes are a great wayof helping the poor.Non-profit organisations cook meals

and donate and deliver them to those inneed.Other NPOs give food parcels to the

less fortunate.Beneficiaries include the youth, some

of whom are drug addicts.These young drug-users take the food

parcels and sell them to buy drugs.Society has no moral right to complain

about addicts when it is helping to feedthis habit.Taxi associations and charities must

rethink the way they do business. Theyhave an important role to play in helpingto create a drug-free Mzansi.

MONICA LEKUSite C

Wake up and elect leaders who are honestIt is unfortunate that communities mustresort to protest in order to get theattention they deserve.Councillors campaign for votes and

disappear after elections. They don’t fulfileven half of the promises they make.They ignore those they are meant toserve and never have time to listen togrievances.

South Africans, it is time to wake up.Look at your kasi and ask yourself if anyimprovements have been made there.History will judge you when your

children have no drinking water, electric-ity or roads.It’s not too late to make a change.

MONGEZI LUBALOKuyasa

People, life has its challengesWe sometimes fail in life and that’s partof growing up.But the mistake we make is that we

tend to give up on our dreams.We even throw away all the hard work

we have already done.Maybe you were starting a business

and it failed, but that doesn’t mean youshould give up. Perhaps you were afirst-year student at university and youfailed some modules, but it doesn’t meanyou should throw in the towel.Maybe you were trying to help a friend

or a family member and things didn’t goaccording to plan–it’s also not the end ofthe world.You’re probably thinking of burning

that business plan or those pictures of a

failed relationship, but it’s not worth it.Pick yourself up and try again, but this

time you should aim higher.Les Brown wrote: “Shoot for the moon.

Even if you miss, you’ll land among thestars.”Don’t be ashamed to ask questions if

you don’t understand. Continue workingon your goals. You shouldn’t give up.Failure is not the end of the world butthe first step towards greatness.Sometimes you feel as if you don’t have

the energy to try any more or you thinkyou’re not smart enough to make yourdreams come true, but I think you arewrong. People, life is worth living.

NOMZAMO TYULUGugulethu

Elect leaders you knowOur country is approaching one of itsmost important elections ever.I personally see the municipal

elections as the most importantelections. For the problems andchallenges we are faced with daily,begin within our communities.And they are too important to me

because I don’t stay all over thecountry, but I stay within my commu-nity.And I strongly believe that empow-

ered communities means empoweredcountry. People shouldn’t underesti-mate municipal elections, for these caneither develop or destroy our commu-nities.Different communities experience

different challenges. However, unem-ployment is a common problem inevery community. Unemploymentlevels are high among the youth. Theyouth is the future. And it will alwaysbe a fact. So if the youth is mostlyaffected, then the country has nofuture.As a leader of a community youth

organisation, I take youth communityissues very seriously. I know andunderstand what our youth are facedwith daily.Many of them already lose hope

while in high school. For they seetheir siblings sitting at home beingunemployed, despite all efforts theymade to attain their matric, hoping fora better life. So if they witness thosewho walked the road before them

being unemployed and helpless, theyalso lose hope.With the municipal elections ap-

proaching, we will witness differentpolitical parties visiting communitiesas if they care about the difficultiesfaced by communities. But we knowall they care about is securing votes. Iurge political parties to try to promoteand represent the best interest ofpeople during this elections. For many,mere promises will now be made,officials will be attending communitygatherings, listening to the complaintsand needs of the community. Onceelections over, they visit us no more.Many times even candidates that are

brought forth are more active in theirparties, than in community issues. Iurge political parties identify peoplewho are already engaged with theircommunities for such positions. For ifwe alected someone who is known tothe community, they will definitelymake a huge difference.To this person it will not only be a

job, but it will be a commitment. Weneed determined and innovativecommunity leaders.Such leaders will bring initiatives

that will combart unemployment andempower our youth. And when theyouth is empowered, the community isprogressing, and a progressive commu-nity will give birth to a prosperouscountry.

ERIC SHIKOBELAvia email

Choose your leaders wiselyI would like to urge all the people toregister to vote this Saturday and Sun-day.This call goes out especiall to people

from ward 92 because a lot is at stake forthem beforere and after the elections. Theregistration stations are open 08:00am-17:00 pm. It’s crucial to register tovote even if you have not decided whichparty to vote for as yet.

Registration has it’s own benefits. Ibelieve that each of us knows whichperson to vote for in our communities.This person must have the characteris-

tics and determination to bringingdevelopment in their area. This should beirrespective of the political party thatperson belongs to.

STEPHEN SIVUYILEPhakamisa

Don’ t be discouragedIn life there are great and bad things thathappen daily. After any event, there is alesson to be learnt.Even though there are people who do

extraordinary things that need apprecia-tion, there will always be negative peoplewho always criticise.Criticism is the easiest thing to do.

Doing the right thing is often a difficulttask. Never allow negative minds todemoralise you from setting your goals inlife. Take negative criticism with yourhead held up high.People will find loopholes in every-

thing that others do, no matter how goodyou are. When people wish for yourdownfall, just keep rising high. Neverbother yourself with negative views.

BUKELWA DOHONyanga

I’d like to commend all the companiesand organisations that have alreadytaken a step to train and develop theirworkers.Equipping workers with skills and

knowledge makes employees feel appreci-ated and recognised as others will standa good chance of being promoted withinthe organisation.When companies’ production improves

our economy will also grow.I wish all companies could motivate

their workers through training anddevelopment as this will also make themfeel valued. Workers play an importantrole in the success of a company, so theyneed to be valued all the time.

Interest rates increase should be a lesson to the over-indebtedThere are many concerns over govern-ment’s plans to increase interest rates thisyear . . .Raising the interest rate always hits those

in debt the hardest.Eunice Sibiya, the head of Consumer Edu-

cation at FNB, said that if you feel like pan-icking when you think of the amount of debtyou have and that you just aren’t making itmonth to month, take action now.She warned that things are only going to

get tougher before they get better.She gave a few pointers to help you see if

your debt is getting out of control.“There are a few signs and financial be-

haviours that indicate that your financesare in trouble or that you are headed in thatdirection.“If you need to take out a new loan to pay

off old credit, then you have a clear sign thatyour finances definitely need help.“If you find yourself missing out some of

your debt repayments because you can onlyafford to pay some of them and not all, thenyou are in trouble,” she said.Eunice added that if you’re using credit to

finance a lifestyle you can’t afford, you are

sadly way in over your head.Eunice said the first step is to recognise

and admit that you have a debt problem andcommit to sorting your finances out. Thencut up those store cards and stop spendingon credit.She also gave a few tips that serve as a

good strategy to start onyour journeyof debtrecovery., Draw up a list of your debts and decide

which is the most important to pay offMake a list of all your debts. Look for

what’smosturgent or expensive.Youshouldaim to get rid of debt with the highest inter-est rates first.This includes debt such as store accounts

and unsecured loans, such as credit cardsand personal loans.“The higher the interest rate, the more

money is wasted servicing the debt’s extraexpenses,” said Eunice., Draw up a budget and prioritise your

debtOnce you have a better understanding of

your debt and which is the most urgent, youcan now draw up a budget that allows youto prioritise your “debt crunchingmission”.

, Seek professional help if you can’t man-age debt on your own“If you are drowning in debt and are una-

ble to recover on your own, a debt reviewmaybe a solution. However it should be alast resort.“A debt counsellor will be assigned to you

and is responsible for all your finances.However, it still remains your responsibili-ty to keep tabs on the progress you make inclearing your debt.“Take note that people under debt review

are not allowed to take on any extra debt oruse credit cards, and need to stick to a verystrict repayment process,” said Eunice.

An indebted man scratches his head.

Sports academy is top of the lotKhayelitsha’s CONNECT

Sports Academy was namedBest Development Pro-

gramme at the prestigious Discov-ery SA Sport Industry Awards onThursday last week.The academybeat off stiff compe-

tition from huge industry namessuch as the World Coaches pro-gramme, the Nashua Art of FastBowling, Vuka Rugby, SuperSportLet’s Play and the Sports Trust.Four members of the academy

flew to Johannesburg where theyreceived their award fromHashimAmla and Lucas Radebe during astar-studded ceremonyat theSand-ton Convention Centre.But the academy nearly missed

their moment of glory. Part of theentry criteriawas to submit ahard-copy of a video about the organisa-tion. With limited resources andfunding and just two days to go be-fore the deadline, the academyturned to Twitter to see whetheranyone could courier the all-im-portant flashdrive fromCapeTownto Johannesburg. A perfect socialmedia stranger offered to take upthe task and delivered the videowith just a few hours to spare, un-derscoring what the academy is allabout: connecting people with re-sources and opportunities.Despite not having the financial

clout or extensive reach of otherprogrammes yet, CONNECT wasrecognised by the judges for its ab-solute hands-on and holistic ap-proach to the development of un-derprivileged young people andtheir families.The award brings a financial

boost of R50 000 for the academyfrom award sponsors Vodacom,plus anadditional contribution aft-er host Dan Nicholl’s impassionedappeal to esteemed guests in the

room.Vodacom has kept the SMS line

open and those who would like todo so can still donate until the endof February by SMSing DSIA to42482 to give R30 to the academy.“We are excited to be associated

with the Discovery Sport IndustryAwards which recognises excel-lence across the entire business ofsport,” Vodacom Brand DirectorMosidi Seretlo said.“Vodacom has been involved in

numerous development initiativesover the years and we hope ourcontribution to the category wouldfurther add to the cause.”“The “Sport Development Pro-

gramme of the Year” category is agreat chance for the Awards to cel-ebrate everything that’s goodabout the social responsibility sideof the business of sport. HavingVo-dacom on board this year as a part-nermeant thatwewere able to con-tribute more actively towardsbuilding the future of sports in thiscountry,” says Claire Earley,spokesperson for the awards.CONNECT began on a small

scale in 2014 with just a handful ofchildren playing touch rugby withassistance for boxing and chess al-so provided. It has blossomed intoa fully-fledged contact academy of-fering young people fromKhayelit-

sha (aged 7 to 18) the opportunityto play regular, competitive fix-tures for clubs such as Hamilton’s,the oldest club in South Africa.The academy ensures that all

players’ needs are taken care of. Ithas a dedicated nutritional pro-gramme and also offers tutoringsupport to ensure performance inthe classroom is as on point as per-formance on the field. It also en-sures players are transported andhave thekit required toplay rugby.“CONNECT is all about access to

resources, especially the resourcesmost of us take for granted. We fo-cus on long-term sustainabilityandwhile ourmaingoal is to create

aplatform thatwill produceprofes-sional rugby players, we also en-courage our youngsters to pursueother careers in sport such ascoaching and refereeing,” saysMurray Ingram, director of CON-NECT.Boxing and chess remain impor-

tant satellite parts of the academyand while CONNECT dreams ofbranching out into other sports,consolidating its current talentwhile overcoming various day-to-day challenges remain top of thelist.“It’s a huge honour for us to be

awarded in thisway, butwe cannotlose sight of our current obstacles.Transport remains one of the big-gest issues as travelling the 40 kilo-metres between Khayelitsha andCape Town is often difficult whenrelying on public transport. It is al-so dangerous for some of our kidswhen they start returning homeafter dark, particularly in the win-ter months.“Safety is at the top of our priori-

ty list when it comes to our playersand a 23-seater bus would com-pletely change the way we run ouroperation and make it much morestreamlined,” explains Ingram.Finding sponsorships for kit as

well as medical cover for the play-ers is also on CONNECT’s wish listand the academy hopes that theaward will give them the spring-board to make these connectionsand secure these deals.The SA Sports Industry has in-

vited the academy back to tell theirstory throughavideoatnext year’sawards and CONNECT can’t waitto show them how much can bedone when a few dedicated peopleare willing to roll up their sleevesand work towards a better andmore inclusive South Africa.

Cycling club launched in garageTHEMBELA NTONGANA

Two Khayelitsha cycling enthusiastshave transformed a home garage intothe area’s newest cycling club for

young adults.“We grew up riding bicycles and we felt

that there was a gap which clubs aroundKhayelitsha did not cover,” says 23-year-oldco-founder Lubabalo Bongweni.

He started the club, known as Bonga.orgCycling Academy, with 24-year-old BongaNqobane in October 2015. Membership isfree and is open to boys and girls from 16 to26.

“We wanted to give other children that op-portunity. Not all kids are interested in soc-cer and other popular sports, and becausethere are not a lot of choices, they end upnot doing any sport,” says Bongweni.

Due to lack of funding, the club operatesfrom his parents’ garage. The pair are alsoinvolved in the Inter-Schools programme, inwhich schools compete against each other invarious sports. They currently work with 90learners at six different schools.

They also train 10 other cyclists.“We would love to get more schools in-

volved. We want to work with other schoolsaround Khayelitsha and make this a bigcompetition,” says Nqobane. He says hewould also like to expand the project to theEastern Cape where children have to walkfar to school.

The cyclists train for two hours in theweek and four hours over weekends onroutes around Khayelitsha.

On Mondays they meet at the garage forlife skill classes and career guidance.

The club only has ten bicycles, two ofwhich are mountain bicycles.

Members who have their own bikes are en-couraged to bring them and the club alsohires additional bicycles for members whotake part in competitions.

“We do get children who do not own a bicy-cle and cannot afford to buy one.

That that is also one of the challenges thatwe face. We don’t have enough funds forthings like hiring and transport,” saysNqobane.

He says the pair plan to start a club for cy-clists younger than 12, provided there areenough people to monitor the younger chil-dren on the roads.

Ntandazo Koyo, 22, is one of the club’s firstmembers. Koyo has a Level 4 Certificate inboiler making, but his first love is cycling.

He came first in the 99er Cycling and MTBChallenge in Durbanville earlier this yearand also took part in the SA Champs in Dur-ban, though a puncture prevented him fromfinishing the race.- Ground Up
