CITYmayor Chris Ndlela has issued a sternwarning to schools with outstanding bal-ancesonmunicipalservicestoeithermake

arrangements to pay, or face the risk of havingtheir services disconnected.

These services include water, sewerage andrefuse removals.

Addressing teachers from Edendale circuitduring World Teachers’ Day celebrations at theCityRoyalhotel lastweek,Ndlelasaid:“Whileweacknowledge the good efforts of ensuring teach-ingandlearningdespiteunconduciveworkenvi-ronments, we have a challenge of schools whoare owing so much for municipal services.“Schools have budgets known as “Norms andStandards”allocated forsuchservices,but somedo not pay. Some schools complained that theywereovercharged forwaterservicesmeanwhilethere were faulty meters.

“Uponour investigations,wediscovered thatonly two schools had a problemout of a numberof schools that had complained. There are somany parameters that contribute to corruption.

“Everyone must comply with the law, and ifthey do not pay, we will disconnect services”. Ateacher by training himself, Ndlela further said

that themunicipalityhas introducedan indigentpolicy for those who cannot afford paying for itsservices, such as pensioners and child-headedhouseholds.

Ndlelasaidwhileteachersaredoingasterlingjob, there is still much to be done towards im-proving the matric pass rate.

Municipal spokesperson Brian Zuma said:“The municipality has an obligation to collectrevenue for the services it provides. All recipi-ents of such services, including schools, hospi-talsandgovernmentdepartmentshavetopayfortheir provision.

“Some institutions and departments havecome forward to make arrangements to pay.Thosewhohavenot,arerunningariskofhavingtheir services discontinued”.

Askedabout thenumberof schools andmon-eyowed, he just said themayor’s commentmustbe seen in the broader context.

Bring back religious studies to the schoolcurriculum

I AM happy that in the newSouth Africa all religions arerespectedand theyareaccord-

ed the same sort of status.But unfortunately for us, that

also includes Satanism.Obviously, if I was a political

leader of note I would have op-posedany inclination to legitimiseSatanism because I think it is de-structive, counter-productive andagainstnation-building. If ration-al thinking is anything to go by, Isee no practical value in drinkinghumanbloodandthepromotionofdrug addiction, alcoholism, pros-titutionandall theanomies thatgohand in hand with Satanism.

But that’snotwhat I amtalkingabout right now. Today I wish tosaythatIfinditunfairandinconse-quential that our children do nothavereligious studiesasanessen-tial part of the school curriculum.

It nevertheless pleases me tonote that our children still pray toGod before the classes start. Itwouldnotbeverysurprisingif thatwould be stopped too because in ademocratic South Africa the con-stitutionprotectsandpromotesallreligions. But I hope the fact thatthemajorityofpeople in thiscoun-try are Christians will continue toprotect its right to be a dominantway of life or thinking.

What I am trying to say is thatas far as I am concerned it is notlogical that a religion that wasused, albeit negatively, to bringmodernity to the formerly colo-nised people should now be treat-ed equal to others because, (I maybe wrong), my common sense ob-servation tells me it is not!

I can’t say Ienjoyed thewaymyteachersusedtodrumverses fromthe Christian Bible and expect usto remember and recite these byheart. That was quite torturousand a reason to hate theBible. ButI respect the fact that, in the oldendays,haditnotbeenforChristiani-ty, many people would not have

had a formal education or be ableto read and write.

I do associateChristianitywithenlightenment, and it camewith ahigherleveloforganisationinsoci-ety, even though I do not considercapitalism to be in linewith Chris-tianvalues likesharing. Itdoesnotimpressme that in a capitalist set-up we throw oranges away in thesea instead of distributing themamongst the poor just so that wecan keep the prices stable as theyareregulatedbythelawofdemandandsupply. Price regulationornoprice regulation, I personally donot have respect for dumpinghealthyfoodforfishinthewaterastheymaynoteveneat theoranges,when there are so many poormouths to feed.But that’snotwhatI am talking about though. Whatdrives me to write today is thesheer concern thatmydaughter isnot getting exposed to theWord ofGod in class. It does not impressme that the only time she encoun-tered the Word of God outside ofthe formal church building waswhen she attended a church chil-

dren’scamp. Iamgrateful to thosechildren’s camp Christian organ-izers because today my daughtercan say a meaningful prayer andjudging from what I have heardhersayinherownwordswhenshepraysathome,Iamconvincedthatshe fully understands that God isour Heavenly Father who sees allof us – childrenandgrownuppeo-ple alike – as His own children orcreatures. But I would have lovedher to learn these things at schoollikewedid.AsIsaidearlier,maybenot in the same militaristic drillthat we were subjected to as chil-dren, but do it nevertheless. May-be bringing back religious studiesas a compulsory subject at schoolcould even help reduce incidentsof demonic attacks that disturblearning if we go back to the goodold practice of making childrenlearn about God and recite thename of the Lord. I think this isgood for them in preparation foradult lifewhen theywill recognisethegloryofGodasacreator,archi-tect and timeless interpenetratingreality that binds all.

Nkonyeni’s appointment onMonday follows the movement ofSenzo Mchunu into Premiership.

Prior toherpositionasprovin-cial legislaturespeaker,Nkonyeniwas the MEC for Health in theprovince.

Speaking about her appoint-ment, DA KZN spokesperson forEducation,TomStokes said: “TheappointmentofNkonyeniasKwa-Zulu-Natal’s next EducationMECis one driven by political impera-tives rather than education im-peratives.

“Theyhaveappointedan indi-vidual whomal-administered theprovince’s health portfolio duringher tenure as MEC. She was alsolinked to the multi-million rand“Amigos” fraud and racketeeringscandal”.

IFP’s spokesperson forEduca-tion Mntomuhle Khawula said:“Nkonyeni comes with her bag-gage,asMECforHealthfouryearsago, she presided over a depart-ment that was fraught with cor-ruption and poor management.

“We hope that when she as-sumesoffice,shewillclosethebadchapter of poormanagement andstart onnewslate.Wecannotpre-judge her, but time will tell if shewas the ideal choice for this veryimportant portfolio”. Congratu-lating Nkonyeni, ANC provincialsecretary,SihleZikalalasaid: “Wewelcomeherappointmentandwehave no doubts that she will per-form her tasks conscientiously.We are confident that she will beable to carry on with the goodwork that the department hasdone”.

South African DemocraticTeachers’ Union KZN secretaryMbuyiseni Mathonsi has wel-comedNkonyeni,buthassaidshecame at a time when their pa-tienceasaunionwasrunningout.

NationalTeachers’Uniondep-uty presidentAllenThompsonal-so has welcomed the appoint-mentandsaidhedidnotthinkthatthere was a better candidate.

Thompson said some of thechallenges that Nkonyeni wouldface included the closing down ofschools, non-payment of a ruralallowance for teachers, and cor-ruption in the school feeding sys-tem. “We’re supporting her, butif shewants tomake thingsworsethan they are now, we’re pre-paredtochallengeher,”headded.

It’s never too late to study>> Matrics – How to still do well if you deserve an A for procrastination

MANY thousands of matrics arestarting to wake up to the realisa­tion that trouble looms large on

the horizon because they have not suffi­ciently prepared for their final exams.But although the temptation might be to

just throw in the towel, there is still hopefor achieving results you can be proud of,an educational expert says.“Not everyone will approach their exam

knowing that they have done all they couldto prepare over the past 12 years, and thisgives rise to tremendous anxiety,” says DrFelicity Coughlan, Director of the Inde­pendent Institute of Education.But by changing your mindset and taking

five important steps, your marks could stillqualify you for entry into a stimulating fieldand exciting career, she says.Students who have procrastinated until

the bitter end (and many highly intelligentyoung people fall into this category)should immediately do the following(now, not tomorrow):1)Breathe, accept your situation, and re­

solve to do all you can to rectify itAs with many problems, the first step re­quired for change is acknowledgment ofthe problem. “Be honest with yourself and

face the fact that you have not yet doneenough to do as well as you would haveliked. Then, resolve to throw all you haveinto making these last few weeks count.That means being ruthless about distrac­tions, and studying like you have neverstudied before. It is only a few weeks fromyour life, but they are a few weeks thatcould make a world of difference to yourfuture prospects.”2)Assess the damage

Look at all your subjects and at all the ma­terials you need to study. Again, be ruth­less. Make sure that you have not forgottenanything. Once you know what you haveto work with and what you need to catchup on, move on to step 3 (and don’t feeloverwhelmed).3)Take time to draw up a study roster

Forget “rest time”, party time and stayingup to date with “important” TV shows,Candy Crush or your friends and frenemies’facebook updates. All your time shouldnowbefocused onyourfinal exam,andon­ly your final exam.“There will be plenty of time to play once

you’re done – and then you’ll deserve it,”says Coughlan. “Allow yourself to draw upa detailed study roster which includes time

for a second round of revision, if possible.But don’t spend all your time planning ei­ther! It’s time to get to work.”4) Now stick to it

Once you’ve drawn up your study roster,you may realise that things are not as bleakas you imagined them to be, and that youstill have adequate time left to study. Butdon’t be drawn into procrastination again,Coughlan warns.“Your roster is your lifeline now, and you

should cling to it and make it work for you.”5)For best results, study using the PROVEmethod>>Practise by writing past papers or ex­ample questions rather than just reading>>Refresh by making sure you are eating,sleeping and exercising enough (but be­ware of using these activities to procrasti­nate!)>>Organise yourself, your time and yourwork. Having a neat working envi­ronment and a clear plan forwhat you need to do andstudy every day, as well ashaving the relevant ma­terials sorted and onhand,willgoalongwayto reduce anxiety and

optimise your learning.>>Visualise by using colour and mindmaps and other strategies rather than justwords, so that you can use more of yourbrain, and>>Explain by answering questions or tell­ing friends or relatives about your work. Itis not until you have tried to explain whatyou know that you can assess if you knowenough to answer the ques­tions.

“It is possiblethat you haveneglectedyour workto sucha

degreethatyoucouldpotentiallynolongerqualify for studying in the field that youwanted,” says Coughlan.“However, every effort you make now will

ensure your chances are improved, andthat you could enter another field thatcould prove equally if not more satisfying,or that you could work your way back intoyour first choice of course by, for instance,first studying for a qualification that will

give you entry into your field of dreams.“If you put in the work now you may

very well find that you still havefantastic options available to

you when your results arrive,and you’ll be in a position to

make decisions about yourfuture knowing that whenit counted, you put in yourverybesteffortanditpaidoff. And even if it is too

late to make your Plan Awork immediately, you stillhave enough time to givePlan B your best shot.”–

Councillor Adams’ legacy lives on

Eastwoodhallwill nowbe offi-cially knownasWally Adamscommunity hall. This deci-

sion was taken during the lateformer Ward 34 councillor WallyAdams lecture at the hall onFriday.

It was after former MsunduziMunicipality’s Ward 32 councillorFrancis Grantham suggested thatAdams should be honoured for hisoutstanding and sterling workwhen he was still councillor.

He praised the late ANC-electedcouncillor for fighting for unity, de-mocracy and openness.

“Wallywasnot justaprideof thisneighbourhoodoraresident,butheopenly struggled for everybody andunited different racial groups.”

Delivering a key note address,theformerdeputymayorandtheco-ordinator of the newly launchedICW (Indians, Coloureds andWhites election campaign) underANC,MervinDirkssaiditwasdisap-pointing that most coloured peoplewere always claiming to be over-looked and kept at a distance whenelections were nearby.

Dirks said the issue of feelingmarginalised after 20 years of de-

mocracywas just to unbelievable tobe true. He pleaded with the audi-encetoproperlylookatthestatisticsand do the research to see that col-ouredpeoplewerenot left out of theANC government at all levels.

He urged Eastwood residents tolearn fromAdams’ life and keephislegacy proud and alive. Dirks saidAdams was a hardest-workingcouncillor ever produced by the lo-cal municipality.

He said the late councillor wasnot interested in enriching himselfbut fought to improvearelationshipbetween white officials and otherrace groups in the municipality.

“Hewasabletobringustogetherwhen the atmosphere was tense inthe municipality between thewhites and non-whites.

“Wally was never interested intenders ormaking himself rich, butfought for theneedsof everybody inhis community, irrespective of col-our, race or culture. He knew andmade it clear that everybody wasneeded onboard in order tomake asuccessful and democratic commu-nity.

“Adams knew that Coloureds

andAfricans reliedoneachother toachieve unity and better life. Col-oured people must never make agrave mistake by separating them-selvesfromthemajorityracegroup.

“The fact is so-called colouredsare not left out of the government.We should never exclude ourselvesbecause we are all South Africans,”emphasised Dirks.

Mayor Chris Ndlela said East-woodresidents saidAdamswasnotonly the hardest-working but also adisciplined and compliant care ofthe ANC.

“Corruption, losing sight of thepeopleyouareserving,ill-disciplineand forgetting the interest of yourcommunity is like cancer inmost ofpublic servants.”

The wife of Adams whose isWard 34 committee chairperson,Ivy Terry-Adams, said she washumbled by the speakers and thehardworkdisplayedbyherlatehus-band.

She urged the other ‘comrades’to learn fromhisworkandkeepAd-ams’ legacy “proud and alive”.–Jerry Barnes.

Lekgwathi inhot water atBucsLUCKY Lekgwathi’s future at Orlando Pi­rates looks uncertain, after he was left outof the squad for for Tuesday’s matchagainst Mpumalanga Black Aces.Bucs travelled to Nelspruit for a Telkom

Knockout last 16 clash with Amazayoni onTuesday evening.

Lekgwathi has not seen any action forthree matches, after claiming in his columnin the Daily Sun that “sinister forces” werebehind his omission from the squad for theMTN8 Final.The club captain was then absent from Pi­rates’ CAF Champions League fixtureagainst Esperance, although Roger de Sainsisted he left Lekgwathi out purely forfootballing reasons.But according to our sources at Pirates, Le­

kgwathi’s comments did not go down verywell with club boss Irvin Khoza, and theveteran skipper was hauled before a clubdisciplinary committee.‘Phinda Mzala’ has already sent a letter tothe club apologising for his outburst.“Lekgwathi has sent an official apology tothe club about his statements made in oneof the daily newspapers. The club is yet torespond and lay charges against the cap­tain,” says KickOff.com’s source in Park­town.“He is not included in the squad to play

Aces and will not be until he faces the clubDC.”Bucs administration manager Floyd Mbeleinsists he is not aware of any issues withregards to Lekgwathi as he was out of theoffice preparing visas for the team’s up­coming trip to Tunisia.– Ernest Fakude

TALKINGFOOTBALL

LAST week the Pietermaritzburgfootball community buried Nhlanhla“Bridge” Ngidi, the former CarltonAthletics F.C. left winger.

He joins other departed football-ers like Bayede Zulu, BafanaMkhize,Steve Maseko, Skebhe Ngcobo andmany other greats of yesteryear.

Football played a very importantroleduringthemostdifficultperiodinthe history of this country.

It united us and created a spirit ofbrotherhood among many of us.

Isalutethedepartedandthosestillalive like Muzi Mthiyane, ThayithaShezi of Slangspruit City Blacks, LeShezi of C.A, Bra Jacob of Vultures,Mandleni Sibiya of City Rebels, BraScara of United Tigers, Mpalampala

Mthembu of Swift Swallows.These guys andmany others kept

the football fires burning. These arethe people that inspired us when wewere growing up. I am happy thatguys like ShebelezaMakhaye contin-uetoplayaroleinthisbeautifulgame.

It is a pity that we now only meetwhen one of us has departed. Whathas happened to the spirit of the 70sand 80s?

I just cannot understand why wefind it difficult to have reunions everyyear. Presently, some of the guys areexperiencing various difficulties inlife.

We all have a responsibility to en-sure that we care for our sick formerteammates. It cannot be right that

some of us feel deserted by formerfriends.

We use to be big rivals duringmatches. I have some fondmemoriesof matches against United Tigers,Charlton Athletics and Swift Swal-lows. I remember some of the tacklesinvolvingthelateSchizo“Bafo”ZumaandaguycalledMlazafromUnitedTi-gers.

These were the two strong guys.We used to hear the sound of bonesmakingsomenoisewhentheytackledeach other. I always laugh to myselfwhen thinking about the day NothiNgcoboofUnitedTigerssayinghewillkick Sipho Shozi. He had alreadygained some considerable weight atthat time.

Everyone played football in thoseyears. I was also happy to see Ma-hewuMlaba of SiyamuUnitedBroth-ers.

He was one of the best left footedplayersofhisgeneration. Itwasapitythat his younger brother, Roy did notlive longer. Hewas also a very talent-ed footballer. It is justapity thatBlackpeople do not record their history.

I hope that one day we take re-sponsibility of recording history offootball in Pietermaritzburg.

Footballwasnotonlyplayed in theBlack areas but therewere clubs andpersonalities in Indian andWhite ar-eas. Who can forget the great RamaMoodley and Bigs Chetty. Unzima lomthwalo!

Rural talent needs to be unearthed ­ Zulu>>nokulungan@mye­cho.co.za

Speaking about his ex-perience at the team, hesaid: “Playing for Maritz-burg United is more diffi-cult than playing for somePSL teams that I have

played for. You have to ap-ply yourself more andadapt fast in order to beabletoimplementwhatthecoachhas taught you. “It isnot about passion, butabout how you can help el-evate the team to the nextlevel. There is a big differ-ence, technically, physical-ly and mentally”.
