“Right now,Vavi needsto focus onhis suspension. Other things willfollow after he is donewith his case. It was notbrave for the ANC tomake that offer. It’s likethey are buying him sincethere will be elections thisyear. If they wanted tooffer him a position, theyshould have done it along time ago. Why now?”
“Cosatu asan allianceneeds solutions onmatters that are takingplace within the alliance.We are seeing a lot of divisions and it’s high timethey resolved the issues.We have elections thisyear and it is importantthat the issues are sortedout. I support Vavi’s decision for not taking up theMP position he was offered by the party”.
“Theman hasa casestillpending against him andhe should focus on thatbefore jumping to anotherposition. You cannot offera position to a personwho has a disciplinaryhearing on pause. What isgoing to happen with hiscurrent case if he is nowoffered a position in parliament? Again, Cosatuwas wrong to fire Vavi”.
“He didgood bynotacceptingthe position. I think it wasbad timing for the ANC tomake such a proposal.They should have madethe proposal a long timeago. The question thatpeople should be askingthemselves is, why arethey offering him the position now? It was badtiming and he was bravefor declining”.

KWAZULU–Natal motorists will againhave to dig deep into their pockets fol-lowing a provincial cabinet decision to
changeall vehiclenumberplates to“KZN”reg-istrations.
After yearsof fiercely-debatedproposals toreplace town-based registrations like “ND”and “NP” in linewith Gauteng and other prov-inces, Department of Transport spokespersonKwanele Ncalane confirmed that theprovincial cabinet had approved thedepartment’s plan to require motorists toacquire new, provincial plates.
Ncalane said the current, residence-basedplates — denoting phrases like “Natal,Durban” — were “colonial”, subject to abuse,difficult for police to trace and running out ofdigits.
While details of the change-over are yet tobe announced, it is understood the new platesare likely to be aluminium—not plastic—andinclude a provincial logo, in the sameway thatEastern Cape motorists have an elephant andLimpopo plates have a baobab image.
However, at least one opposition partyexpressed dismay at the decision.
DA transport spokesperson Radley Keyssaidthedepartmentshouldinsteadfocusonre-ducing traffic accidents.
“There is no need for this change. They arebeing utterly bizarre because our currentsystem works fine. With this process, everyvehicle owner will be affected, while those inlicensing businesses will be smiling with fatbank balances”.
TheWesternCapeistheonlyotherprovinceto use residence–based registrations — andSiphesihle Dube, spokesperson for its Depart-mentofTransport onSunday revealed that thedays of the famed CA registration were num-bered too.
“Initial indications show that the WesternCapewillsoonberunningoutofCAregistrationplates. Nowwe need to convert to a standard-ised and uniform registration plates system”.
Chief executive of the South AfricanNumber Plate Association, Zurika Louw, saidthe change would improve security and caridentification — especially after severeaccidents.
“I understand that KZN wants their platesto be aluminium, which cannot be copied orburnt in the case of accident”.
Ncalane said: “There are several business-essellingfakeplateswhichprovestobedifficultfor thedepartment to trace them.Also in termsofsafetyweneedthesestandardisedplates,”hesaid.
Ncalane said the KZN department is nowseeking permission from the nationalDepartment of Transport to develop anoperational plan for the roll-out, and,thereafter, to amend legislation.
Sayingthatregistrationsshould“reflect thechange to the democratic dispensation”, headded:
“In terms of safety on our roads, we needstandardised plates. Because the nationaldepartment is the custodian of vehicle plates,we wrote a letter requesting an approval andamendment to the road traffic act”.
Ncalane could not reveal precise figures ofwhatitwouldcostmotoriststohavetheirplatesreplaced.
However, registration costs currentlyexceed R500, while basic number plates costat least R150 per set.
The planhas been greetedwithmixed feel-ings by motorists.
JoelMoodley complained therewas “noth-ing wrong” with his existing plates.
“Mymainworry is that Iwill have topay forthis. Ibelieve thegovernmentshould issuereg-istrations for free for once,” said Moodley.
But Sebastian Atkinson said the changecould help unite the people of South Africa’smost populous province.
“Itmight be a goodmove to unite us as peo-ple.Whywerewe separated in the first place?It’snice to identifyyourvehicle fromyourprov-ince when you’re outside it.
But thecost implicationwillbeaseriousfac-tor here,” said Atkinson.
Automobile Association spokespersonGraemeScalasaid therewereclearsafetyben-efits to the change.
“It might help in data collection to haveplates that reflect a province,” he said.

Echo and Witness readers help find gogoAN 87yearold Imbali gogo who had
been missing for more than three weekshas been found at Edendale Hospital.
Thembi Emily Zondi’s son Sipho saidhis mother had been admitted to thehospital three days after she walked outof her house on December 6, 2013.
He said they could not find her on theirinitial visits to the hospital because shehad been admitted under a differentname.
According to Sipho, his mother mayhave become disorientated after she leftthe family home in Wula Road, Imbali, for
her usual short walk around the neighbourhood.
He said she may have wanderedfurther away to an area where people didnot know her.
Sipho thanked the good samaritanswho took his mother to hospital.
“We don’t know how she got there.She is unable to tell us what happened andshe is still in the hospital,” he said.
Sipho thanked readers of The Witnessand Echo, saying it was an observant reader who recognised his mother’sphotograph and called to say he was
certain she was a patient at the hospital.“We rushed [to the hospital] and
found her. I cannot tell you how overjoyedwe are as a family. Please tell your readersthat the Zondi family are grateful that theywere able to find their mother andgrandmother, through an article in thenewspaper,” Sipho said.
He added that they now have a deeperunderstanding of the pain a family goesthrough when a loved one goes missing.
“We are overjoyed that our story hashad a happy ending,” Sipho said.

Youth must look to the Seme legacy to realise theirimmense potential
PHUMLANI MFEKA
‘FORGOTTEN like an oceantreasure, by minds inflictedwith convenient amnesia,
the people yearn for unspokenhistory, whose imminent discoveryfillsmanywith terror, like theAfricanSun rises to shine in its glory, so shallwe realise the vision we discover inthe ka Seme story’.
PixleykaIsakaSemewasanabso-lute genius, to the extent that he tran-scended100years into the futureandtoday serves as an inspiration toyoung Africans globally. When Semewas schooling in Inanda, the Ameri-can Board of Missionaries soonrealised that this little boy was notonly intelligent, but also precocious,industrious and well rounded in hisGod fearing ways, and they subse-quently arranged for him to go to theMount Hermon School in Massachu-setts in the USA.
This is where the giant that laywithin young Seme was awakened.
He travelled a number of times inhis efforts to study further, and thusspent a considerable amount of timein England. In the United States, hewas awarded the George WilliamCurtisMedal byColombiaUniversity,which is the institutions highestoratorical honour forhis ‘TheRegen-eration of Africa’ address.
Upon his return, there was muchabuzzinCapeTown–ablackmanand
aDoctorofLawarrivinginSouthAfri-ca on a ship shortly. Indeed, in thosedays,themainmeansofinternationaltransportwasbysea.Andsoonhear-ing of Seme’s imminent arrival, Afri-cans and others flocked to the seashore to meet this extraordinarySouth African native.
The white establishment had nochoice but to accept him for whatcredentials he bore, because educa-tion is about documentary proof andnothing else, not even colour of skin.Thedocumentaryevidenceinhispos-session buttressed only one thing –PixleySemewasextremelyintelligentand in him therewas already a judgein waiting to serve the community incourt.
WhenhewasaskedtostayinCapeTown and be a judge, Seme respond-ed by saying “I am sorry but a CapeTown judge is the last thing I have inmind for my role. My aim in comingback to Africa was to get a reconnec-tionwiththeburialplaceofmyumbil-ical cord”.
He saw the unity of Africans as asolution to this exclusionof natives in
the political, economic and social af-fairs of their own land, and thusembarked on a national campaignwhere he effectively mobilised tradi-tional leaders, African academics,intellectuals and professionalsaround this idea of his of forming aSouth African Native NationalCongress. The 31–year–old Seme’stour-de-force in succeeding to uniteunder one roof all the tribes of South-ern Africa: Zulu, Tonga, Thembu,Pedi,Swazietc,whoagreedwithhim,that the anti–tribal and unifyingCongress should be formed and weknowforcertain thatSemewasdoingsomethingthatnootherhumanbeingbefore had done in a colonial SouthAfrica. Pixley then decides to appealto someoneandsays: “Uncle, I’mcul-turally still too young to lead thesenations as president and the Zuluculture anyway demands that thehunter boy must hand over his firstpasserine kill to seniors (“Inyoniishayelwa abakhulu”) and I have gotthis bird in the hand called the SouthAfrican Native National Congress foryou, uncle”.
What we as young Africans inSouth Africa today must learn fromthispartofthePixleySemestory,first-ly, is the reality that quality educationplays a fundamental role in the life ofyoung Africans that intend on realis-ing their full potential.
We also learn from Seme’s mostsignificant achievement, that theunity of Africans has the potential toachieve everything. His refusal to bea judge in a system that deliberatelyeconomically marginalises his ownpeople, yet creates an exception forhim in those years, elucidates hisprincipled posturewhichwe certain-ly, as young Africans, must emulate.
Pixley ka Seme was young whenhe founded the ANC, however heexhibits impeccable humility andselflessnessinthewakeofmonumen-tal power, by his gesture to his uncleJohnLangalibaleleDube tobe found-ing president instead of him. Highlyeducated as he was, he was able tomaintain his respect for his culture,his people and elders for he under-stood very clearly that self-determi-nation is married with self-knowl-
edge.Theimmensepotentialamongthe
youthofSouthAfricawillonlybereal-ised through quality education andeconomic liberation. The two areintertwined, interdependent and cannever be separated!
The plight of young Africans inSouthAfricacalls forurgentandradi-cal action that will see Africans own,manage and control the economy oftheir native land. This and more canbe achieved if only we, the youth ofthis country, could follow in the foot-stepsofour forefatherswhogatheredin 1912 to put aside our differencesand unite under the banner ofcomplete liberation, which is cen-tered on economic freedom.
As the youth we are left with thetaskof ensuring thata completely lib-eratedAfricanpeopleasenvisagedbySeme, andothers after him, becomesareality inour lifetime.Weall need tosimply declare that ‘We are Africans,and we set our pride in our raceagainst a hostile public opinion.

Better schoolsto offer help tothe worst ones
Underperforming schools will not be theonly ones to roll up their sleeves and workharder, but also those that did well lastyear.KwaZulu–NatalHeadoftheEducationDepartment, Dr. Nkosinathi Sishi,said that schools that performed well willbe now facing a targeted 100% pass ratein 2014.Sishi said those schools (that did well) willagain be given the task of adopting underperforming schools to mentor them sothat they can produce better results.
He said the department has decided to increase the average pass mark from 60%to 77,4% for all schools.According to him, schools that perform under 35% will be regarded as schools at riskin terms of the South African Schools Act.“The principals of the schools that find
themselves in this category will have towrite to the head of the departmentto declare a turnaround strategy and itmust be successful.All the schools thathave performed well in the province arenow forced to set a new target of a 100%
pass rate and 100% exemptions will benow targeted.All subject advisors will also adopt theschools that perform below the 77,4% average pass rate. They will target specificcommercial subjects that did not do well.” said Sishi. He said that maths and science are still the main targeted subjects.“The department will continue with that
programme and the principals have tomentoreachother.Ourtaskofdealingwiththe schools that lack resources is stilla process. We are dealing with supplying
resources to the schools that need them.We had 3 200 schools that were suppliedwith resources. We will continue with supplying the maths and science kits toschools that need them,” he said.School Governing Body (SGB) chairper
son, Reginald Chiliza, said they will have ameeting where they will evaluatethe matric results.“We will decided on the role we can play
in helping the schools that underperformed. We will do this jointly with the department of education,” said Chiliza.

Bartman ditches United for Arrows
MARITZBURGUnitedgoalkeep-er coach Arthur Bartman hasleft the club to join the battling
Lamontville Golden Arrows, amidcoaching changes in the Team ofChoice.
The Pietermaritzburg–born, andformer Kaizer Chiefs second choicegoalkeeper, Bartman has decided tocome out of playing retirement to addexperience in the goalkeeping depart-ment of Abafana Bes’thende.
Bartman’s arrival at MaritzburgUnited as a goalkeeper coach from theNaturena-basedoutfit at thebeginningof the season was greeted with muchfanfare.
Last week, United’s chairman Fa-roukKadodia confirmed that Bartmanhas unexpectedly left his team.
“Itiswithgreatdisappointmentthatthe club confirms the resignation ofArthur Bartman from his post as goal-keeper coach. Arthur was poached byLamontville Golden Arrows before theChristmas break. It is believed that hewill return to playing. The club furtherexpresses its disappointment in the
mannerinwhichitstechnicalstaffhavebeen poached in the last six months,”said Kadodia
Abafana Bes’thende media officer,Vusumuzi Vilakazi, confirmed to Echothisweek that his teamwas looking foran experienced back–up goalkeeperandBartmanwas also on theirwantedlist.
“The club is going through a badpatch and we are trying to bolster thesquad in different departments. Yes,Bartman’s name was also on the list,”said Vilakazi.
BartmanagreedtoEchothathewasno longer with the Team of Choice andthat he was joining a new club as a“back–upplayer in thegoalkeepingde-partment”. His departure coincidedwith the appointment of SteveKomphela as the head coach and thesacking of his predecessor ClintonLarsen.
Thisweek,Bartmanwasfollowedinresigning by assistant coach FadluDavids who has joined Ernst Midden-dorp at Bloemfoentein Celtic.

Komphela is more thanjust a football coach
BETHLEHEM, or is it QwaQwa, nev-ertheless their loss is Pietermaritz-burg’s gain.
Steve Komphela is good news foryoungpeople in this town.He ismorethan just a football coach. I hope histight scheduleallowshimtime tovisitsome of our schools. Our boys andgirls can only become better peoplethrough interacting with the likes ofSteve.
Thanks to Farook Kadodia for
bringingthisguytooursleepydorpie.We hope this appointment mightawaken the sleeping giant amongstmany of our youngsters.
We can only wish him luck duringthe last lapof thePSLrace. It isalwaysa challenge to takeover teamsduringthis part of a season. I think he is in-heriting a squad of very good people.
Maritzburg United has been luckyinthelast fewyearstohaveveryhum-bleanddedicated footballers. Profes-
sional football is a job, supportersarecustomers and football fields areplayers’ and coaches’ offices.
I thinkUnited’splayersaregettingsomeone that isnot only interested inresults.
Steve is the kind of person whocares about others. South Africa isyearning for football coaches whoserve the game more than them-selves.Infact,thecultureofprofitsbe-fore service needs to change ifwe are
to succeed as a nation.Morally, it is wrong for a profes-
sional coach to also serve as an agentfor players. This compromises hisprofessionalism in the execution ofhis duties.
Generally, I also have doubts ifSouth African football will thrive un-der the present conditions. It is im-portant that the game serve playersinstead of officials.
Presently, football at club level
servesofficialsmorethantheplayers.We do things to suit officials not theplayers. I think over and above thetrainingof coaches, football adminis-trators in South Africa need a crashcourse on technical matters.

He followed upwith a second goal in about 40 min-utes, before completinghishat–trick.SiyabongaNhlangothi scored the4thonefor thevisitors.SobantuShootingStars seemed to lack the energy theyhadinthefirsthalf,afterKingsUnitedscored their first goal.
Stars coach Bha Mpisi said this
gamebeing their firstmight have im-pactednegativelyon them.“Theboyswere doing well in the first half buttheylackedenergy.Wekickedoffwithabangwhen thegamestartedandallwas lost as the game went on. In thesecond half, we created scoringchances but we were unable to con-vert those chances into goals. In soc-cer , when you create a chance, youhave to convert and that didn’t hap-
pen with us,” said Mpisi.Kings United coach Siyabonga

THE Player Cup, awarded to the win-ner of the Dusi Canoe Marathon be-tween 1953 and 1972, made its wayback to the founder and firstwinner ofthe race, Dr Ian Player, on Tuesday.
Player, a world-renowned conser-vationist and four-time winner of theworld’s biggest open water race, wasdelighted to see the trophy again.
“I’mdelighted that you found this,”thelegendaryPlayertoldDusiorganis-er Brett Austen-Smith at his home inKarkloof on Tuesday.
The story goes thus: the trophydis-appearedwithouta trace in1972afterithadbeenawardedto thatyear’swin-ner.
“Nooneknewwhathappened to it;it just disappeared,” said Austen-Smith.
“We’verecentlyrefurbishedourof-fices, and the storage was cleaned up.I went in there one day looking for a
new trophy to present to the women,when I picked [The Player Cup] andthoughtitwasanicetrophy.Itwasonlywhen I looked at the names that I real-ised it was the original winner’s tro-phy.”
The trophy was originally boughtby Player’s family, including his worldfamous brother Gary.
Austen-Smith said the trophywouldbe restoredandall thewinners’names, including that of 15-time Dusilegend Graeme Pope-Ellis, added.
Following the handing over of theold trophy, Player spoke of how therace had started and how, without thereporting of Derek Kain in TheWitness, it would never have hap-pened.
In1950,Playerwentonatripdownthe riverwitha canoeist fromSwitzer-land, whose name he could not recall.
“After reading about it in The
Witness, Ernie Pearce came up to meandsaid, ‘Let’smakethisarace’…TheWitness put the Dusi on the map,” hesaid.
Before the Dusi, canoeing was un-knowninSouthAfrica,andotherracessuch as the Fish River Canoe Mara-thon, the Drak Challenge and OzzieGladwinCanoeMarathondidnotexist.
“Until Iwas12, Iwasgoodatsoccerand wanted to play it professionally.Afterbreakingmyleg,Icouldn’tdooth-ersportssoIdecidedtostartcanoeing.I couldn’t play sport, so I started myown,” the 86-year-old said.
For this year’s race, Austen-Smithwas planning onhaving Player paddlein a K3 at Inanda Dam on the secondday. Speaking about this year’s race,Player said: “I’d like to ask the citycouncil tomake sure that the river andthe streets are clean.We should followDurban’s example.” WR.

United lose anothertechnical team member>> United assistant coach, Fadlu Davids, has jumped ship to join his old coach, Ernst Middendorp, at Bloemfontein Celtic
CHANGES are happening in theMaritzburgUnitedcampandonlytime will tell if they are for better
or worse.Last week, the Team of Choice
officially introduced former Free StateStars head coach, Steve Komphela,after partingwayswith Clinton Larsen.
Earlier thisweek,United’s assistantcoach, Fadlu Davids, dropped abombshell when he suddenly jumpedthe Team of Choice ship to join his oldcoach,ErnstMiddendorp,atBloemfon-tein Celtic.
Also this week, Supersport Unitedmidfielder Kurt Lentjies rejoinedUnited after 18 months away from thelocal outfit.
United teammanager Quintin Jettoconfirmed to Echo that the player was
started negotiating his possible returnback to us awhile ago. He is on his wayback to the team,” said Jetto.
Jetto also expects Lentjies to play amajor role in helping the team to im-prove its current position.
Lentjies (28) joined BloemfonteinCeltic in July 2012, signing a one-yeardeal.
But he later left them for Tshwane.Commenting about the recentmove
by Davids, United’s chairman, FaroukKadodia indicated that the new coach,Komphela, came with his ownassistant, Mandla Ncikazi, but the
head coach came with Ncikazi, but hedecided to quit,”said Kadodia.
Davids’s departure follows hard onthe heels of goalkeeper caoch ArthurBartman’s resignation to joinLamontville Golden Arrows as aback-up goalstopper.
Prior to joining the technical teamofthe Team of Choice, Davids was theirgoalpoacher and many were taken bysurprise when they learnt that he wasretiring from playing.
