What you had to say about “Omalume”

“I’m not against “Omalume” taking thechildren to school. They are helpful becausenot every parent can afford to take theirchildren to school themselves. It is ideal foryoung children because some of the childrenare still too young to be travelling by taxi.What I don’t like is seeing young boysdropping out of school and becoming driversof these cars.”

Ncamisile Ngcamu:

“They must stop overloading the youngones in one car. Another thing that is veryimportant is making sure that their cars arein a good working condition. They should beregistered, serviced and in good condition.The drivers must be in a possession of avalid drivers license.”

Khanyo Ngubo:

“My concern is the overloading. I believe thatthe reason they overload is because they aretransporting young children. They shouldn’t bebanned but the government should lay rulesthat they will have to follow like in any otherworking office. The cars they use must be ingood condition at all times.”

AFTERwinningasixyearbattletogetanidentitydocument,anImbali Unit 13 woman is still

unemployable, as her ID numberdoes notmatch the one onhermatriccertificate.

Zanele Gumede (29) had tore-apply for a new identity documentin 2004 after she was told that it wasduplicated with someone else’s.

Gumede, who matriculated in2003,saidthatheroriginalcertificatedid not have an identity number buthad her date of birth only, since theDepartment of Education was not asstrict at that time.

She said that her problem startedwhen she lost her original matriccertificate and had to re-apply for a

replacement.“Thereplacementwassentbackto

me, however after obtaining a newidentity document in 2011, I had toresend my original matric certificatereplacement so that it could bechanged to match my new identitynumber.

“After months of not hearinganything from the Departmentof Education, I went to check ifmy new replacement was ready,only to be told that my originalreplacement had been lost in theprocess.

“From 2011 until last year, I wassent from pillar to post. Last yearin September, I went to thedepartment’s examination section,and I was told by a womanattending to my case that I cannotbe assisted since Umalusi has now

adopted a new system.”Gumede, who recently completed

her nursing training, says that sheis battling to find employment assheisusingcopiesofherreplacementcertificate.

“The only thing I have arecopies, and you cannot certify copiesof copies. Whenever I makeapplications, I have to put inan affidavit explaining why mymatric certificate does not matchmy identity document.

“There have been cases whereI was told that it is fraud. If theDepartment of Education cannothelp me, I don’t know where else togo to.”

At the time of going to print,the Department of Educationcould not be reached forcomment.

2015 - a communitytourism year

THE year 2015 has been adopted as yearof community tourism by the MsunduziPietermaritzburg Tourism Association

(MPTA) recently.Ataseminar themed:“CommunityTourism

as a tool for Local Economic Development andTransformation’ at the Old Prison lastThursday”, it was pointed out that communitytourism is listed in the National TourismSector Strategy as one of the priorityareas.

“And MPTA as representative ofcommunities and the private sector has amajor role in driving this as spelt out in theKZN Community Tourism Strategy,”committedMPTAdirectorDumisaniMhlongo.

“Local communities have a key role toplay in tourism development, as they arethe focal point where many of the keycultural, heritage sites, historical andadventure venues that are of significance totourists are found within communities,” saidMhlongo.

“Involvement of local communities can

only help to enhance the local tourismproduct and grow domestic tourism,” hecontinued.

Ethekwini Municipality’s Durban Tourismhas achieved a lot regarding this.

SpeakingonbehalfofDurbanTourism,Nel-isa Mshengu, shared many examplesof best practice, including the InandaHeritage Route and Township CultureExperiences.

She said that Durban acknowledgesthe importanceofworkingwithCommunityTourism Organisations (CTOs) to drivedomestic tourism and therefore have astructured relationship through whichthey support the CTOs.

A variety of local key tourism productsand attractions were listed.

A stock of infrastructural needs was takenand themeeting decried the state of neglect ofmany local tourists’ attractions.

The meeting resolved to advocate forimprovement of this situation through theMPTA. - Supplied.

THE police would like the public to report any infor­mation related to illegal firearms, as these firearmsare used to commit serious crimes in communities.

Police spokesperson Captain Zenzele Ndlovu saidthat the police offer rewards to those who supplythem with information on illegal firearms.

“All police daily operations include tracing andsearching of illegal firearms. The illegal firearms in cir­culation are mainly used to commit serious andviolent crimes.

“The police informers are always sensitised aboutthe importance of supplying intelligence driveninformation about illegal firearms in the hands ofcriminal elements. The police give rewards to thosepeople who give information about these illegal fire­arms,” said Ndlovu.

He said there are also non­governmentorganisations that continue to fight thecirculation of illegal firearms.

“The disadvantages of having illegal firearms arethat there are more serious crimes like murder,robbery and rape within that community. The ownerof an illegal firearm doesn’t report loss or theft of hisor her firearm, thus the firearm is circulated to a num­ber of criminal elements,” said Ndlovu.

Just recently, the Department of CommunitySafety and Liaison MEC Willies Mchunuapplauded the police after successfully ambush­ing an alleged illegal firearm training academy in theprovince, arresting two suspects.

In a statement, Mchunu said that the departmentis concerned about the number of illegal firearms incirculation in the province.

“Our research has shown in no uncertain terms,that these illegal firearms were key drivers of heinouscrimes and criminality in the province. We aretherefore of the strong view that police should beapplauded for these wonderful breakthroughs.Furthermore, we cajole and urge our communities towork with the police to ensure that these tools ofmurder and mayhem are removed from our society,”

"The illegalfirearms incirculation aremainly used tocommit seriousand violentcrimes." ­Police spokes­person, CaptainZenzeleNdlovu.PHOTO SUP-PLIED

LETme take this opportunity towish the South African Cricketteam,theProteas,goodluckfor

theirquesttowinthe2015ICCWorldCup in Australia and New Zealand.

To the Proteas captain AB DeVilliers, we are saying go out there,represent uswith pride, hoist the SAflag aloft and bring back glory.

Show the world that our countryis made of heroes and we are proudto be South Africans.

The games are scheduled to kickoff from February 14 and run untilMarch 29.

The 2015 Cricket World Cup willbe the 11th Cricket World Cup,scheduled to be jointly hosted byAustralia and New Zealand.

A total of 49 matches will beplayed in 14 venues, with Australiastaging 26 games at grounds inAdelaide, Brisbane, Canberra,Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Syd-ney while New Zealand hosts 23games in Auckland, Christchurch,Dunedin, Hamilton, Napier, Nelsonand Wellington.

Thefinalmatchofthetournamentwill take place at the MelbourneCricket Ground.

This week it was very interesting

to chat to my neighbours, friends,colleagues, familymembers, follow-ersandexpertsaboutourchancesofdoing well, or possibly winning, theICC World Cup.

The million dollar question thathasbeen thrownaroundwhereeverI go is:will theProteasbeable toout-smarteverybodyontheworldstage?

Ialsopersonallyagree that theSAteam is one of the best in the worldand stand a good chance of bringinghometheICCCricketWorldCupfromAustralia.

Theonlypoint that Iwant all of usto remember is that our boys aregoing to face thewholeworld.All thecountries participating in this eventare world beaters and can out-mus-cle any opponents.

The ICC World Cup is alwaysexciting and its history is justunbelievable. It will be the secondtimethatthetournamentwillbeheldin Australia and New Zealand, withthefirstbeingthe1992CricketWorldCup. Sachin Tendulkar has beennamed as the 2015 Cricket World

Cup ambassador by the ICC for thesecond time, after the 2011 CricketWorld Cupwhen hewas also an am-bassador.

India are the defending champi-ons, having won the tournament in2011 when it was held in the Indiansubcontinent, defeatingSri Lanka inthe final by six wickets.

Tickets for the Pool B match be-tween India and Pakistan scheduledon 15 February 2015, were report-edly sold out within 12 minutes.

*Letmealsotakethisopportunityand wish one of our local footballstars and Woodlands born, BryceMoon good luck in his new camp.

LastFriday,Moonofficially joinedtheNorthWestbasedoutfitPlatinumStars from Mamelodi Sundowns.

As a parent and a passionatesports follower, I am happy for thisplayer because he went through alot.

Just to think that the same playerplayed for big PSL sides such asSundowns, Bidvest Wits,SuperSportUnited,AjaxCapeTown,

Lamontville Golden Arrows and atone stage, hewas a regular player inthe Bafana Bafana team,makes yousee that the player went to hell andback.

It also proves that South Africansoccer will always be dominated,ruled and affected by politics.

In order to be up there on thegravytrain,ortomakesurethatyourgravy is always spicy, you need to befriends with the big wigs or at leastbe in the right clique.

Just like in politics, in SA soccer ifyou are not in the right group, yourskills, talent and contributionwill always be overlooked orsidelined.

Brycemy boy, I amhappy for youand your family. Platinum Starsmaybe taken as a small team or notone of those household names fromJohannesburg, but believe me, it’s awell run outfit and very rich.

Your career can still stay in goodshape, go to another level and whoknows, onedayyoumight goback tothe SA senior team.

THEREisanEnglishsayingthatsays:takecareoftheroots,therestwill takecare of itself.

It is proving extremely difficult inSouth Africa to find leadership withthis kind of mentality.

People expect ababy to runbeforelearninghowtocrawl.Therearea lotof egos, power struggles andwastageof scarce resources. Empowering theyouth of this country is the last thingin theminds ofmany in football lead-ership.Thesamescenarioplays itselfoutinmanyotherspheresofourlives.

SouthAfricans have to accept thatwe are not at the level of top footballnations administratively, technicallyand also as fans of the game.

Weneedtobehumbleifourunder-standing of football dynamic is togrow. One does not become a topsports athlete by chance. It takesyears of quality training and coach-ing. Every year after failure in majortournaments, lots of meaninglessnoise is made by government offi-cials, football officials, experts andfans.

There have been no meaningfulactions since Afcon 98.

I think it should also be clear thatthe senior national team is not a de-velopmental team.

Everyself-respectingnationsendstheir best footballers to internationalevents. Age is not a factor. Peopleshould be judged on their class andperformances.National teamplayersare also not judged on their formalone, class or the level of talent anddevelopment is critical.

Playing well in a few PSLmatchesdoes not make you Bafana Bafanamaterial. Every league has its fairshare of mediocrity.

Presently,teamsinourprofession-al league do not have youth players -boys under the age of 19.

It is laughable therefore to suggestthat the present Bafana Bafana ismade up of young players.We do nothaveexcellentyoungplayerspresent-ly in our professional set-up. Thepresent team is no different fromthose of the previous three nationalteam coaches.

I think this idea that nationalcoaches candevelopplayersneeds tobedispelled.Playersaredevelopedatclub level. Generally, national teams,including youth and junior sides,meet for a few days before thematchor tournament. National coaches’jobs are to develop teams.

This maybe explains why there isso much age cheating in all thirdworld countries, including SouthAfrica.

Where do you get under-17 play-ers in a country that lacks properyouth structures?

I am afraid 50 years from now,South Africans will still be arguingabout these issues.

Talk is cheap; action requireseffort, time and energy.

I doubt if many of us are ready tosweat blood for excellent results.

When we are still importing fakeforeign football training exercises inthenameofdevelopment,appointingordinary personnel to top technicalpositions for political reasons,the youth of this country will haveto wait longer to realise theirpotential.

Unzima lo mthwalo!

Coach’s talent-spotting is putting PMB onthe squash mapKHANYISANI DLOMO

TWO Pietermaritzburg squash stars have put thecity on the map thanks to their coach BonganiKhumalo.

The widely recognised squash coach is creditedwith grooming winning players and is looking to thetownships for the next top stars.

Anele Ngubane, of Ridge Park, is ranked numberone in the country, followed by Sanelisiwe Sitholeof The Grange. Khumalo said the pair, both aged17, are examples that the best players can beproduced without top­of­the­range resources andfacilities.

“Seeing young girls excelling in this sportingdiscipline is inspiring. These girls are talented andit shows that, if a talent is adequately nurtured, wecan produce the best players in the world,” said the41­year­old.

Anele, who attends Epworth, has taken homesix gold medals.

She has been in the top 10 of the South African

ranks in her age group since 2011.Sanelisiwe, who goes to Alexandra High School,

has managed to get two medals, one of which shereceived in the interprovincial tournaments.

Squash SA honoured Khumalo in 2011 for hisdedication and contribution in the sport.

“It was exciting to be recognised and honouredby the squash body. It made me realise that we aredoing a good job. But the inspiration comes fromAnele and Sanelisiwe. They are committed anddisciplined. I am proud of them.”

He said they don’t have a permanent venue fortraining and the two use Alexandra High andEpworth High courts when they are available.

Now Khumalo is looking to different townshipsto unearth new talent. He said he will have threeworkshops this year as a drive to lure young bloodinto the sport.

“Our work is starting to be noticed. We now haveto take it further. There is a lot if talent that hasto be nurtured into a finished product. I alwaysmake an effort to make a difference.”

with Chippa United at the beginningof the 2014/15 season, but Kadodiaand Maritzburg fought hard then tokeep their man.

“WeunderstandthatSteve,likeev-ery coach, has ambitions to coach atthe top level,” Kadodia tellsKickOff.com.
