A beacon ofhope for thecommunityESTABLISHED 17 years ago tocater for abused women and chil-dren, the Plessislaer victimsupport unit has, over the years,grown into a ‘one stop’ resourcecentre. NOKULUNGA NGOBESEspoke to Teressa Thusi, a parale-gal advisor at the centre.

THUSI, who has beenworkingforthecentreforthepast16years,said that not only has the centrebecome a resource centre, but ithas also become a place of safetyfor the abandoned.

Speaking to Echo, she said:“When it was established, theintention was to give legal adviceonly to abused women andchildren. But due to various chal-lenges experienced by people, weare doing almost everything.

“We offer counselling to thosewhoneedit,weprovidemediationwhere there are conflicts withinfamilies, we give legal advicewhere it is needed and we alsohave our own outreach pro-grammes where we go out toschoolsandcommunities,educat-ing people about human rights.

“We do referrals for rapevictims and victim empowermentworkshops.Currently,wearealsorunning a workshop with tradi-tional leaders where we educatethemaboutnewacts and the rightthat they have within their com-munities.

“Sometimespeople come tousbecause they just want to be

heard.Wherewe cannot help, wegive themdirectiononwhere theycan find assistance.”

Other services that areprovid-ed by the centre include assistingwomen to make maintenanceapplications, linking the aban-doned and the vulnerable withhomes and places of safety, mak-ingreferrals forthosewhorequiresocialgrantsandofferingcounsel-ling to rapevictimswhoare there-after referred to relevant depart-ments.

Co-worker Fisani Ngcobo-Khuboni, said that while thecentre is floodedwith peoplewithvarious problems daily, the chal-lenge that they have is funding.

“Currently, we get supportfrom the Centre for CommunityJustice, which also does not haveenough money to support all ourprogrammes. We rely on donorswho also help with certain pro-grammes only. There are aban-doned infants who are brought tous by the community.

“Wedonothaveavailablenap-pies and formula to feed them,while we are looking for homesthat can accommodate them.Somepeople sleephere overnightand we do not have the starter kitto help them with food andcosmetics.

“ Ifwehadmore funding, thereis somuchmore thatwe can do tobethebeaconofhopeforourcom-munity”, she concluded.

EMPLOYEESatthePieterma-ritzburg labour offices havecalled for a departmental

investigation due towhat they callunresolved issues hinderingservice delivery.

Since last Thursday, workersput down tools after they came towork, only to find that the gateswere locked.

Employees who spoke to Echobut did not want to be identified,said they are now demanding anintervention from the nationalhead office as the provincialdepartment has failed to addresstheir concerns.

Anemployeewhodidnotwantto be identified said: “Among ourmain concerns is the investigationfeedback on the current manager,SindiZungu.Thereareallegationsof nepotism and maladministra-

tion against her, but since report-ing the matter last year nothinghas been done.

“Staff members with experi-ence and qualifications are askedto train new staff, who are thenpromoted to senior positions.

“They become bosses of theirtrainers. Our building is not takencare of, it stinks, yet about R400000 per month is paid for rent.Every month there is money paidforCCTVcameras,yet theyarenotoperating. Mostofushaveput for-wardapetitionforavoteofnocon-fidence against top management,but we have been ignored.”

They also allege that the man-ager has a huge influence on therecruitment process, which

should be the duty of the humanresources department.

Contacted by Echo, Zungusaid:“If themajorityof theemploy-ees are my relatives, why thenwould the offices be closed, be-causetheywouldbeworkingwhilethe others are on strike. If they arecomplaining aboutme, whymustthe rest of the clients suffer?”

Labour provincial spokesper-son Nhlanhla Khumalo said:“Management is awareof the situ-ation and we are working aroundthe clock tominimise the negativeimpactwhichmayresultoutof thisunfortunatesituation.Theinvesti-gation process is now complete,andhuman resourcesproceed-ings are in place.”

Nabalibhidliza iqembu bayabuyiswa!KUBONALAKA sengathi inhlanganoi-ANCilungekakhulu impela.Abantuabaningi baye bayishiye lapho ben-gazitholi izikhundla kuyo, baye ko-joyina amanye amaqembu epolitiki.

Kodwakuyayekuthiumanalaphoekhona esephelelwe yizikhundlaabuye azokhokha umoya kuyo i-ANC.Muva nje sitshelwe ngabaholi,okukhona kubo namalungu ePhala-mende, awezishayemthetho kanye

namakhansela, okuthiwa sebe-buyelekuyo i-ANCemvakokubabay-ishiya ngo-2008 bayojoyina iCope.Ubuholi be-ANC buvele babamukelangoxolo ukuba baphinde basebenzeezinhlakeni zaleli qembu.

Phela kuzokhumbuleka ukuthiumaamalunguaphezuluehambaeyakwamanye amaqembu awahambiwodwa kodwa ahamba nabalandeli.Futhi ngenkathi ehamba asina azi-

bethele ngokugxeka lelo qembu al-ishiyayo. Ngezinye izindlela asukeezamaukulibhidliza futhi uma linga-bhidlika asuke engeke esabuyela ku-lo, ayoliphemba kabusha.

Into ecacayo-ke wukuthi laboababuyayobabuyangoba ingahlaka-zekanga i-ANC ngenkathi behamba.Ukube bancipha kakhulu ubulungubayo bebengeke babuyele kuyo.

Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi un-

gasho noma yini nge-ANC bese futhiemva kwesikhathi uzibuyele kalulanje ngale kwemiqathango.

Kungenzeka ukubuya kwabokubonakale njengento ezokwenzainhlangano ibonakale njenozinzo.Kodwa ngabe labo abayivotelangokuthembeka bayakuthandalokhu?

NoRonnie Kasrils basengabuyanoma inini!

Inamuphiumthelelaimpilo yakhoemphakathini?KUNENGOMA eyayivame ukudlalwanguMnu. Welcome ‘Bhodloza’ Nzi-mandeemsakazweniwesiZuluuKhoziFM, enezinhlamvuezithi: “Umbulalel-aniomunyeumuntungobangelinye il-anga uzomdinga?”

Lo mbuzo awudingi ukutolikwangobausobalanjengezinqezeselesele.Lesi silomo sakoMphephethe sasi-dume ngamancoko anongwengobukhulu ubuhlakani oKhozini FMuma sisakaza. Sashiya emsakazwenisesingumphathi sangena emab-hizinisini. Sasivameukuyidlala lengo-ma ngesikhathi kusabhidlange ud-lamekulesi sifundazwe iKwaZulu-Na-tal. Nanamhlanje ngisamkhumbulakahle uBhodloza uma esekhuza ud-lame ethi: “Hhayi bo bafana bakithinabulalanakangakakwenzenjani?Yi-ni le engaka eniyibangayo engeke il-ungiswe ngomlomo? Wena nsizwaophetheisikhalinjengobangikhulumanje, uyakhohlwa yini ukuthi lo muntuolindele ukumbulala udalwe nguNku-lunkulu njengawe? Uzokwenze njanikusasaumausubhekenenesimolaphouzodinga khona usizo lwalo muntuocuthele ukumjuqa?” kubuza lesi silo-mo sakoMphephethe.

Yini eyenza ngikhulume kanjengoBhodloza? Isizathu ukuthi impiloyakhe ibe nomthelela omuhle, owa-khayo emphakathini. Angivumelani

kahle hle nalaba bantu abavame uku-thi uBhodlozawazakhela udumo ngo-mculo kamasikandi emsakazweni.UBhodloza ubenguthisha ngaphambikokusebenza emsakazweni. Ababe-funda naye KwaDlangezwa HighSchool, bathi wayevele eyisilomokwasesikoleni, kanti nangesikhathiesefundisa wayengaconsi phansi ku-bafundi nakozakwabo. Indaba kaB-hodloza ibuye emqondweni ngilaleleintshumayelo kaMfu. Armstrong Ma-khanya wase-United CongregationalChurch ngePhasika. Uthe wonkeumuntu kufanele azi ukuthi indlelaaziphathangayoinomthelelakwaban-ye, kanti kunjalonje, nendlela abanyeabantu abaziphatha ngayo, in-omthelela empilweni yakhe.

“Ngakhoke,”kuqhubauMfu.Makh-anya, “kufanele sonke siqikelele uku-thi siziphatha kahle ukuze kusizakalenabanye. Kukhona abaphila ngendle-la elimazaabanye, kubekhonanalaboabaphila ngendlela ebaphilisayoabanye. Vele-ke impilo injalo, inezimoezimbi nezinhle. Futhi ngeke siziqedeizimo ezimbi. Ziyohlale zikhona ziy-izinselelo. Okubalulekile ukuthi sibenobuchulenobuhlakanibokubhekananazo sizinqobe.”

Uthe neNkosi uJesu akazibaleke-langa izinselelo, wabhekana nazongqo, wazinqoba esizwa nguNku-

lunkulu. Uthe akulona iphutha ukuthiempilweni kube khona izimo ezinhlenezimbi. “Uma zonke izinto zihambakahle empilweni yakho,” kuqhubayena, “ubokwazi ukuthi kukhonaokungalungile. Kanjalo futhi umakonke kungahambi kahle, kusukekukhonaokungalungile.Abanezimotobayazi ukuthi i-battery lidinga u ‘posi-tiveno-negative’ukuzelibenamandla,likwazi ukuhambisa imoto.”

Uthe kuzokhumbuleka ukuthikwasekuqaleni impilo yoniwa ngu-muntu oyedwa ensimini yase-Eden,kodwa yabuye yalungiswa ngumuntuoyedwa, iNkosi uJesu. Yingakho ethiimpilo yomuntu oyedwa inomthelelakwabanye abaningi. Ulinganise nga-bantu okubhalwe ngabo eBhayibhe-lini njengo-Abraham athe ukulalelakwakhe uNkulunkulu kwamenza wa-busiswa kwaze kwabusiswa nezin-ganezakhenesizukulwane.Uqhubekewalinganisa nangoSawuluowayewuhlupho ebulala amakholwakodwa ngokugcina elalele iZwilikaJesu ngesikhathi eshaywa ngum-bani, laphendulwa igama lakhe wabanguPawulu wase enza okuhle em-phakathini okwaphendula izimpilozabaningi.

BHUNGANI KA MZOLO

Kasrils’s rather loud silence past

WHEN I heard of the ‘vote NO’ campaign of formerMK operative and former intelligence minister RonnieKasrils, I initially thought that someone was tellinga joke. I also thought he was mad to come up witha stunt like that.

And when I heard his reasons for this mad action,that it was because of the corruption by certain ANCleaderswhohaveenrichedthemselvesattheexpenseof the poor, I was then convinced that he has lost italtogether.

It came across as if ‘Uncle Ronnie” somehowconsidered himself a self­appointed supervisor of thecurrent leadership, and as a supervisor, he was notimpressed with what they were doing, and becausehe was displeased with them, he was going to get thepeople to withhold their votes or to give it to somenew parties until he, as the elder uncle, was satisfiedthat they were behaving in an exemplary way, atwhich time he was going to tell the voting masses toonce again vote for the ANC.

That is why the whole thing strikes me as insane.Getting the masses to vote for you is not like a

tap which you can open or close at will. I doubt thateven the much­loved Madiba, with all his charisma,could have gotten away with such a stunt.

The most logical thing Kasrils should have donewas to follow all those who had been expelled by theANC: form his own organisation and then campaignfor the election. That he did not do this shows anelement of dishonesty in his claims. That in fact mightbe the reason why he has not been able to explainhis rather loud silence during the arms deal debacleand the HIV/Aids controversy.

Kasril’s hypocrisy and incredulous double stand­ards only became clear when ANC secretary­generalGwede Mantashe explained that Kasrils was not in

good standing with the ANC as he last renewed hismembership in 2008.

Basically, what it means, is that comrade Kasrilshas not been a member of the ANC for at least sixyears. Now here is the principle underlining his hypoc­risy: If he did not renew his membership because heconsidered himself over that, having been in MK,being a minister, then why would he be taken abackif other leaders within his movement consideredthemselves to be deserving of the lavish lifestyle onaccount since they are veterans of the struggle too?He must answer that first.

Clearly Kasril, just like the leaders he seeks torubbish and condemn for their ill­found ideas of enti­tlement, himself seems to harbour his own delusionsof grandeur.

It would seem to me that if uncle Ronnie was reallydisgusted with corruption in his former party, heshould have done one mad thing to end all this mad­ness. With his background in military and intelligence,he should have canvassed his views amongst a selectfew in the army and MK and then stage a coup.

The task of this coup would be to suspend theconstitution and, in its stead, declare rule by decree.Then he would take over the SABC and announce thathenceforth, the country was under military rule.

Parliament would be suspended until freshelections have been conducted in two to three yearswhen the situation in the county had been stabilised.Then comrade Kasrils would announce that he wasthe commander­in­chief of all armed forces and pres­ident all rolled into one. He would announce that thisdictatorship was aimed at bringing about radicalchanges with regards to the economy, the land,education, health, housing, police and the situationat our porous borders.

Commander Kasrils would inform us that hence­forth, no one person owned land, as all land belongedto the state. The minerals and all the wealth of thecounty, including control of banks, would be placedfirmly in state hands.

He would announce new state shall be calledAzania and anyone who did not wish to live underthose conditions were free to leave, as long as theyleft everything that belonged to this county wellalone here.

As the new state had committed itself towardsfulfilling the needs of the revolution of the people ofthis county, all those who had stolen fom the peoplewould be put in jail, to face people’s justice at a laterstage.

UKUHAMBA komuntu emhla-beni kuyinto ebuhlungu em-ndenini, ezihlotsheni naku-

bangani bakhe kanye nalabo akadeesondelene nabo. Kanjalo nokungc-watshwa kwakhe kuye kuhlonishwefuthi umndeni uqinisekise ukuthiufihlwa ngesizotha.

Kweminye imindeni kunemikhu-ba ethile yesibongo sakhe eyenzi-wayo uma ongasekho esefihlwa. In-dlela yesimanje okugqokwa ngayonezinye zezinto ezinye ezenziwe lap-hokufihlwaongasekhozishiyaaban-ingi benemibuzo eminingi.

Isazi sezamasiko esiphinde sibengumsunguli weNomkhubulwaneInstitute uNomagugu Ngobese utheokokuqala nje singabantu kumelesiqonde ukuthi ngabe igama elishoukuhlonipha liqonde ukuthini.

Uthe okuxakayo ukuthi abantubaphambanisa indlela yokugqokanokuhlonipha, waqhuba wathikunenkolelo ethi ukugqoka inguboende kuwuphawu lokuhloniphaokuyinto engekho nje thina esikwenilamaZulu.

“Ingubo ayikaze yahlonipha,inhlonipho ikumuntu uqobo lwakhekuphela. Hhayi ekugqokeni! Ku-zomelesikhumbulephelaukuthiizin-gubo lezi abantu asebejajana ngazozafika nabezizwe.

“Thina KwaZulu umuntu wesi-fazane wayegqoka isidwaba, indodaigqoke ibheshu. Kunjalo-kenasemngcwabeni siye sibuke indlelaabantu abagqoke ngayo bese siyaqa-la siyakhononda ngokuthi ingubo

beyimfishane noma iyinde.“Kuphinde futhi kube nenkolelo

yokuthi owesifazane kumele agqokeingubo ende afake nendwanguekhanda(iduku).Ubaniowathi idukuliwuphawu lwenhlonipho. Lokho njeukucindezelwakwabantubesifazaneokwenziwa amadoda.

“Mina ukube kuya ngami ngabengithi amakhanda abesifazaneawacwalwe ayeke ukugqunywa nga-maduku.

Ngakho-ke asiyeke ukukhulumangezimpahla ezigqokwa abantu em-ingcwabeni bese siyakhonondangokuthi zinde noma zimfishane.

“Uma ukubheka konke lokhu ku-suke kuqondiswe kubantu besi-fazane okuwukucindezela,” kubekauNgobese.

Ukhwele wadilika kulabo abayebenze umcimbi emva komngcwabo(after party/ after tears) wathi lokhukuwumkhuba onuka phu.

Ukuchaze njengomunye yem-ikhuba abantu asebezenzele yonangobabesukebethi babungaza impi-lo yalowoosuke edlulile futhi bayam-valelisa ngendlela yena abeyiphila.

“Umuntu uma efuna ukwenzaumcimbi akawenze angawuhlan-ganisi nomngcwabo.

“Abantu abangasebenzisi izintoabaziqambele zona bathi amasiko,thina asiyazi leyo nto futhi yintoengekho nje esikweni lethu.

Ngizokuphindenjengikugcizeleleukuthi iduku akulona isiko lethu, ku-wukucindezela nje ikakhulukaziezindaweni zasemakhaya. Akulonaisiko lethu thina sigqoka izicholo,hhayi iduku.

Imicimbi emva kwemingcwaboihlazo elibi futhi into engakaze ibeikhona,imikhubanjeabantuabazen-zela yona elulaza isithunzi sethunjengama-Africa,” elandauNgobese.

THE name MpenduloButhelezi was popular onthe dance talent show Jika

Majika on SABC 1 not so long ago.Continuing on unearthing new

talent, Buthelezi hostedZazise (in-troduceyourself)youthshowinthecity hall last Friday.

Various artists performed toshowcase their talent. The aim ofthe youth show was to shift themaway frompotentiallyusingdrugs,said Buthelezi. Different localgroupswere present and they per-formed on stage for the audience,which was mostly youth in uni-form.

Speaking to Echo, Buthelezisaid he believes that Pietermaritz-burg has a lot of talented artistswho need support and exposure.

“I love the city of Pietermaritz-

burg and I love the people of thistown. Part and parcel of the showwas to show them love and to giveback to the community who hasbeen supportive of Mpendulo as aperson.

“In these days we find youngpeoplebeingaslavetodrugs.It’supto us to stand up and prevent thisby getting them to explore theirtalent in music, dance, poetry oranything that helps them shine. Ihave enjoyed working with localgroups and they have respondedpositively. I have met differentgroups that do different genres ofmusicandpoetry. Ithasbeenover-whelmingseeinghowtalentedandeager they are. They have enjoyedperforming and they did their beston stage,” he said.

He thanked theMgungundlovumunicipality for the support andtrust they showed him with theproject.

“I would also like to thank all ofthe sponsors that assisted me. Iwould like to thank Nandos,Jonathans Spar, themayor’s officeand 100 Warriors that sponsoredme with the sound system,” saidButhelezi.

Helping to educate the youth in their wardNOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]

Realising thateducationwasnotonly a government issue,members of ward 23 gathered

and formed the Sakhisizwecommunity education programme tohelp the youth in the ward.

The programme was formed in2011anditwasofficiallyregisteredin2012.

Speaking to Echo, programmeprocess facilitator Sbusiso Khanyilesaid their vision is to lend a hand tothe youth in the areas of ward 23,especially those who can’t pursuetheir education to tertiary level.

“There are schools that have notdonewell with theirmatric results inthe past. One of the reasons theschools are not doing so well is theshortage of books.

“Ourmain concern is exactly that,andwehaveknockedonsomedoors,asking for help with books.

“We were successful with thatinitiativeasHiltonCollegeresponded

by giving books whichwe donated tosome of the schools.

“Oneof theschoolswhowedonat-ed books to was able to do better intheir matric pass rate last year,” said

Khanyile.The school whose pass rate has

gone up from 28% to 79% last year isSiyahlomula secondary school.

“We are in contact with institu-

tions like Olwazini Centre, where wetaketheyouththatwehavementoredso they can familiarise themselveswith available skills in the centre.

“Most of them can’t afford tertiary

education and it’s one of our initia-tives to send them to institutions thatcan help them with skills,” saidKhanyile.

He said that in order for theirorganisation to be visible, theyintroduce themselves to schools.

“In that way we are able to reachpupils thatwe canmentor andassist.Whatwe do is, with the tenmembersthat we have, eachmembermentorsa group of 10 pupils.

“Afterwehaveworkedwith them,we deploy them to skill institutionsandwedoafollow-uponhowtheyaredoing.

“We are proud to say thatwe havealsomanagedtostoptheclosingofthe[Ashdown] library in the ward.

“Thatwasalsopartofmakingsurethat the youth are not being deniedtheir right to learn,” he said.

Khanyile further said they havealso worked with educationorganisations such as Soul Buddies,Whizz Kids Academy, Life and Timeand Sakhubuntu organisation inSobantu.

SA PROBLEMcannot beaddressedby foreignersBLACKSouthAfricansinpositionsofpow-

er are a very interesting species. Gener-ally,we tend to think that apartheid only

affected the poor and uneducated.Thedecisionsmadebysomeofourbrothers

and sisters in higher echelons of powershow the amount of damage caused by apart-heid. Foreign nationals find it easy to get sup-port from our public and private sectors. Ourleaders will mobilise all resources if you claimto have discovered a “Ronaldo” or “Messie.”

We believe the stories of foreigners are bet-ter than those of our brothers.

Therearepeople in theprovinceofKwaZu-lu-Natal like Jef Nkosi in Newcastle, BonganiYengwain Durban,ZephMthembuinPieter-maritzburg, the lateReggie Shelembe etc.whohave labouredforyears underdifficultcondi-tions. There have been youth football pro-grammes that produced exceptional football-ers like Imbali Te Huis.

The coaches in this programme identifiedand trainedplayers that representedSouthAf-rica in various age-group competitions. SouthAfrica would not have enjoyed the skills ofMbuleloMabizela,JimmyTau,PapiZothwane,AndileCele,SiphesihleNgobese.Thelistisend-less.

These are some of the sad stories that wehaveobservedinafreeSouthAfrica.Blackpeo-plefinditdifficulttoempowerandsupporttheir

brothers and sisters.Lack of respect for local expertise is mind

boggling. It will take South Africans anotherhundred years to reap the benefits of freedomand democracy. Ordinary South Africansare expected to make sacrifices while the eliteand their foreign friends reap all the benefits.There are no quick fix methods in football. Itisnotsurprisingthatveryfewpeoplearewillingto serve the game.

Presently, there is very little being done atthe lowest levels of the game. We are failing todo the correct things like the rest of the world.We have “priests”, women with no technicalbackground and all sorts of people leading ourtechnical evolution. It seems doing the correctthings is less important than being politicallycorrect.

I also see that the U17 team is more a Gau-tengteamthananational team.Is thisacorrectmessage fromSafa’snewregime? Is it true thatthe best talent in this age-group can only befoundatKaiserChiefs,BidvestWitsandMame-lodi Sundowns?

South African problems cannot be ad-dressed by foreigners. The sooner the leadersateverylevelofthegameunderstandthistruth,the better.

Themore things change, theworse theybe-come.
