BYTuesday afternoon, theNationalUnionofMetalworkers of SouthAfrica (Numsa)could not say if the current strike in the

steel industry will end this week.“We do not know what the agreement

outcomes will be and when they will be sortedout between the union and the employerbodies,” said KZN Numsa regional secretaryMbuso Ngubane.

NgubanesaidonMonday,theunionmetwiththe employer bodies to seek clarity on issuespertaining to the demands of the workers.

“Weareexhaustingall ournegotiationskills.If thestrikeisprolonged, itwillhaveadetrimen-tal effect not only on employees, but also on anumberof companies in the steel industry.Thisjust puts pressure on all of us involved in thenegotiations,” said Ngubane.

Numsa represents over 220 000 workers inthe metal and engineering sector in SA.

Numsawants a total ban on labour brokers,catering for the needs of employees who workshort time, ahousing allowance of not less thanR1000permonth for eachworker in the indus-try, training of staff and the recognition ofshopstewards.

TheMaster Builders of South Africa (MBSA)are also holding a strikewhich has just enteredits fourth week, causing a building materialshortage.

Ina statement,Dlamini said, “Theplumbingindustry has reported a critical shortage ofgeysers and the piling sector, which reliesheavily on steel reinforcement for foundationwork, is struggling to obtain supplies.Intimidation is taking place outside factorieswhich means that MBSA members cannotcollect roof sheeting and structural steel. Thisnew setback could well be the last straw formany struggling contractors.”

Last week, Numsarejected thecondi-tio

nal offer from the employer body, Steel andEngineering Industries Federation of SouthernAfrica (Seifsa), of a 10% increase in 2014, 9.5%in 2015 and 9% in 2016.

Seifsa eventually withdrew this offer and bylast week Friday, had announced that the newoffer on the table was 10% in 2014, 9% in 2015and8% in2016 for rateHworkers; 8% in2014,7.5% in 2015 and 7% in 2016 for rate Aemployees.

Seifsasaidthatthestrikehasalreadycostthecountry more than R300 million a day in theengineeringandmetalssectoralone.Somelocalsteel companies voiced their frustrations.

One of the management representativesfrom local company Rogue Steel said that if the

plants still continues,” said Willemse.Economist Mike Schussler said that South

African steelmanufacturing stands at 22%andcontributes to about 14%of thenational econo-my growth. He said that no production is mak-ing the economy decline.

“The strike is also hitting general purposemachinery.So it isdirectly affectingabout3,5%of the economy, ” he said.

Schussler added that the Rand will remainunder pressure more so than before.

“If the Rand weakens, it will be even worsefor prices which will again go up,” he said.

Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business CEOMelanie Veness said that there are quite anumberof businesses inthemetal industry that

have been adversely affected by the strike.She said that the local steel manufacturing

industry is a critical component which contrib-utes to the local gross domestic product (GDP),hence it constitutes some of Pietermaritzburg’slargest employers.

“An inability to meet order obligations canresult in penalties for business and/or the lossof future orders, constraining the economyfurther. Prolonged labour action can closebusinesses down, resulting in job losses, asopposed to wage increases for some.

“Prolongedstrikesalsomakeusunattractivefrom an investment point of view. They makeemployingpeopleunattractiveandincreasethebusiness case formechanization,” said Veness.

Debate overTelkomretrenchmentsNQOBILE MTOLO>> news@myecho.co.za

IT is still not clear yet whether Telkom’smanagement staff in Pietermaritzburgwill be affected by the company’srestructuring and retrenchment processes.

TheTelkomnationalofficehadpubliclystated that the management pool, whichthe company seeks to reduce, is made ofup to 2650 managerial staff.

Through these retrenchments, Telkomstates that it wants to bring services closerto people by getting rid of unnecessarylevels of management, improvingcustomer service and experience.

Telkom stated that the restructuringwill keep the business afloat as it has failedto meet revenue targets.

Telkom’s communications manager,Pynee Chetty, said that he could not exact­ly say how many members from manage­ment are likely to be affected sinceprocesses are still ongoing.

However, he said that since most of thestaff from the management pool is basedin Johannesburg, there is the likelihoodthat most of the retrenchments will hitthere. Telkom has a regional office in Dur­ban and the retrenchments might affecta small number of employees in that area,said Chetty.

“It is unlikely that we might be havingretrenchments in Pietermaritzburg,however the processes are still ongoing,”he said.

Early this month, Telkom stated thatthrough the restructuring and retrench­ment process, it is not targeting specific in­dividuals, but mainly wants to reducemanagement layers and employee costs,with the latter costing the company 30%of revenue.

3Maintenance beneficiaries unpaidfor monthsNOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>nokulungan@myecho.co.za

IMPROVEMENTS in the Electronic FundTransfer (EFT) system have been cited asa reason for delays in the payment of

maintenance beneficiaries.Last week, disgruntled mothers caused

chaos at the maintenance court offices inPietermaritz street after not receiving theirmonies for months.

While others did not receive their moniesthat were due on Tuesday, others had notbeen paid since May.

Speaking to Echo, one of the mothers,Busisiwe Mbokazi, said: “Some of us havenot been paid for the past two months.Whenever we inquire, we are told that themoney is already in our accounts but whenwe check there is nothing.

“We were told that there would be a

waiting period of five days after the payoutday, but still the money does not reflect.

Another woman, who did not want to beidentified, said that she has been waiting forher money since May. She had been hopingthat she would at least be able to pay schoolfees when schools re­opened on Monday.

“How are they expecting us to supportour children when for the past months, wehave not been paid.

“They keep on telling us that delays arecaused by FNB, as there are currently prob­lems with their system.

“Some of us are using other banks buthave still not been paid. We want theDepartment to conduct an investigation, assometimes we do not even get the fullamount,” she said.

They said that although in the past theydid not get the money on stipulated dates,it has become common of late.

Department of Justice and CorrectionalServices spokesperson Advocate MthunziMhaga said that they apologise for theinconvenience that has been caused bydelays due to improvements in the Electron­ic Fund Transfer system (EFT).

“The electronic payment environmentdemands that the department puts in placemeasures to ensure that the moneydestined for maintenance beneficiaries isprotected.

“Contingency measures have been put inplace to fast track outstanding payments.The backlog is expected to have cleared bythe end of the week.

“We remain committed to constantlyenhancing the maintenance system toensure that the interests of the mostvulnerable in society are upheld.”

Registration chaos at Plessislaer FETNOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>nokulungan@myecho.co.za

DESPERATION for space at thePlessislaer FET College continues, ashundreds of hopefuls enter theirsecond week of camping outside thegates.

The campus, which is not new tocontroversy, is supposed to havestarted lectures onMonday but had toreschedule as returning students hadnot been registered before newstudents could be accommodated.

SpeakingtoEcho,astudentwhodidnot want to be identified said thatdelays in releasing the results ofreturningstudentshavecausedahuge

backlog, as the acceptance of newstudents is determined by the numberof returning students who register.

“WecameherelastweektoapplyforN4, but we were told that we have towait for all returning students toregister first, beforewe can be consid-ered. Some of us are not even fromPietermaritzburg andwe are forced tobring our blankets and camp outsidethe gate as we do not knowwhen theywill allow us to register.”

Last year, Echo published a similarstorywhere 500 studentswere turnedaway after being told that there wasno available space despite havingpre-registered.

SRCsecretary,AyandaMtshali,said

that students havebeen told that thereis limited space this year, and only fulltime students will be accommodatedon campus.

“It is sad to see thousands ofstudents camping outside the gate,only to find out that 100 will beacceptedandonlyafewofthosewillgetaccommodation.

“Previously, students had to fill inpre-registration forms before theycould be accepted, but now it is on afirst come, first serve basis. We alsowant the Department of HigherEducation and Training to investigatehow finances are handled at thiscampus, as it seems to be the onlycollege with problems.”

NGIPHONSA inselelo kunoma ngubani ongaseaphendule umbuzo weSilo samaBandla, uGood­will Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu othi: “Nizobalekela ku­

phi uma nicekela phansi izwe lenu?”ISilo sibuze lo mbuzo emcimbini wokuphendula isoyi

lapho kuphumule khona unina, iNdlovukazi uJezanganiThomozile Ndwandwe Zulu eMkhumbane ngesonto el­edlule, lapho sekwakhiwa khona inqolobane yamaguguesiZwe. Le nqolobane izokwaziwa ngokuthi uMkhum­bane Cultural and Heritage Centre.

ISilo sichaze kabanzi ngesizathu sokuthi unina angc­watshwe eMkhumbane, esikhundleni sokuthi angcwat­shwe KwaNongoma. Sithe emva kokubonisana nezikhu­lu zikaMasipala waseThekwini, sabona kubalulekile uku­thi unina angcwatshwe lapho ehlale khona isikhathi

eside ebambe iqhaza emzabalazweni wenkululeko.Ngaphezu kwalokho, sithe nanxa iNdlovukazi uTho­

mozile ingunina ngokwenyama, ingunina wesizwe sama­Zulu onke, yingakho indlunkulu yakuthola kubalulekileukuvuma ukuthi unina angcwatshwe endaweni okuzobalula ukuthi wonke umuntu afinyelele kuyona, hhayi njen­gaKwaNongoma ngoba kuseceleni. AkungatshazwaukuthiuMkhumbaneCulturalandHeritageCentreuzohe­ha abavakashi abaningi bakulelile nasemhlabeni wonkejikelele, ubuye uthuthukise nezinga lezomnotho. Akun­gatshazwa futhi ukuthi kuzovuleka amathuba amaningiemisebenzi, kusizakale imindeni edla imbuya ngothi.

Kodwa leli phupho elihle kangaka lokuthuthukisaisizwe, lizophazanyiswa umkhuba omubi ongenele um­phakathi wokuthi uma ungenelisekile yindlela uhulume­ni abusa ngayo, bese ucekela phansi impahla nezakhiwo.

ISilo sithe: “Niyabona ukuthi bangakanani abantuababaleka emazweni akubo angaphandle kwaseNingiz­imu Afrika, beze lapha ezweni lenu. Nina­ke uma sen­icekela phansi izwe lenu nizobalekela kuphi, ngoba umanicekela phansi izakhiwo, nidicilela phansi umnotho.” An­gazi ukuthi ngumuntu onjani ongaphikisana nalo mbonowoHlanga Lomhlabathi. Asiboni ngani ukuthi wuku­phindisela emuva umzabalazo ukuthi uma sikhonondangokuhamba kancane kwezinhlelo zentuthuko, besesicekela phansi izakhiwo. Lokhu kungukumosha isikhathinezigidi zemali.

Sengathi onezindlebe angezwa. Sonke siyawukhuzalo mkhuba wokutshengisa intukuthelo ngokucekelaphansi impahla.

Kodwa­ke iSilo esaziwayo ngokuthaka izinkulumozaso ngamancoko anesifundo, sihlomise abesifazanengesikhali abangalekelela ngaso ekuqedeni ubudl­wembe. Sithe kunendawo eyodwa vo esazi kahle ukuthiuma abesifazane bengase bayincishe abayeni bawo,bathi abatholi lutho uma bengabuqedi lobu gebenguobugcwele izwe, wonke amadoda angasukuma ngazozombili alwe nobugebengu.

Pacsa tackles gender issuesNOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>nokulungan@myecho.co.za

MARKING men’s month, the PietermaritzburgAgency for Community Social Action (Pacsa)on Tuesday hosted a round table debate on

issues surrounding male identity, masculinities andviolence in South Africa.

Director of Pacsa, Daniela Gennrich, said that theaimof the debatewas to bring about transformation inmatters relating to gender relations.

“We were looking at the whole issue of masculinityand violence. We started by looking at our familybackgrounds, and how they have influenced us andhow we are communicating with our children.

“Weaskedourselveswhetherwearestill perpetuat-ing the samevalues.Wediscovered that there is ahugeproblem of violence. We tend to look for solutions tooquickly, insteadofaskingourselvesdifferentquestions.The whole motive was to find ways in which we canengage more men in bringing about gender justice.”

Guest speaker, Professor Ezra Chitando, said thatmasculinity is a socially constructed idea of who andwhat a man is and what he should be.

“Therearesomanycontroversiessurroundingmaleidentity. The first one is why we should invest in menwho are already advantaged, are we not succumbingto Western cultural imperialism and as much asmen are perpetrators of violence, they are also thevictims.

“In the face of gender-based violence and HIV, wehave no choice but to work towards the emergence ofmen who work towards the full liberation of women,children and fellow men.”

ECHOCash forwaste totackle filthNALINI NAIDOO

THE new National WasteManagement Act will see wastehaving serious monetary value,providing a solution to the country’slitter problem.

Mark Gordon, deputy director forchemicals and waste in theDepartment of Environment Affairs,said theact - ineffect since June2014- will make it more worthwhile for

people to collect rather than throwaway rubbish.

According to National Environ-mental Minister Edna Molewa,recycling has been valued at a contri-butionofasmuchasR50 billiontotheSouth African economy.

“In effect, waste will now be arenewable resource and notsomething to throw away,” Molewasaid in her recent budget speech.

Sheaddedthat theactprovides fora pricing strategy for waste manage-ment charges, the establishment of aWaste Management Bureau, andmechanisms tooversee thedisburse-mentof revenuecollected fromwastemanagement charges. Molewa saidsoon there will be a deposit-returncharge on plastic bottles.

“In terms of prioritising waste

streams, we began with plastic bagsin2002andinitiatedanationalwastetyreplan last year.Going forward,wewillprioritiseelectronicwaste,paperand packaging.”

Theminister said her departmentwill be consulting on the proposeddevelopment of regulations that willallow for:

• theseparationofwasteatsource;• the banning of plastic waste to

landfill sites;• a moratorium on new landfill

sites;• a prohibition on the burning of

waste;• a regional approach to waste

management and disposal.Molewa said there had been

an improvement in the provision ofwaste collection services in the past

five years.“This positive trend will be

sustained with more householdsbeing provided with waste collectionservicestowardsachieving80%basicwaste collection services for allhouseholds,” she said.

Her sentiments were echoed byCo-operative Governance MinisterPravinGordhanwhosedepartmentispursuing “a back-to-basics” themefor municipalities.

Gordhan, in his budget speech,said theremust be basic services andmaintenance such as the cutting ofgrass, fixingpotholes, functioningro-bots and street lights and “consistentrefuse removal.”

AS the old adage goes, evil thriveswhen good men do nothing.

This must have been what PMBbusinessman Gary Ayliffe had inmind when he pursued a man whohad stolenmetal from a cemetery, allthe way to the scrap yard where hewasplanning todisposeof it, andhadhim arrested.

Ayliffe said he was driving along

Chief Albert Luthuli Road when henoticed a man coming out of thecemetery carrying old decorativemetal.

He said he followed the man andalong the route, contacted the policeflying squad, who did not respond.Ayliffe said he encountered otherpoliceofficerswhowerealsonotkeenon attending to the matter as theywere buying food at a conveniencestore at the time.

WhiledrivingalongChurchStreet,he saw two other police officers andbriefly explained the situation to oneofficerandtookhiscellphonenumberdown.

Ayliffe said he followed the mantowards a scrapmetal dealer in BergStreet, phoned the policemen anddirected them to where he was. Theofficersarrivedsoonafterandarrest-ed the man in the scrap yard.

“We loaded the steel into my

bakkieandtookittothepolicestation.Oneofthedetectivesthererecognisedthe man as he had been arrestedpreviously for stealing scrap metal.”

Asked what motivated him to goout of his way to follow a thief, Ayliffesaid: “I just wanted to do some good,it was my obligation.”

Police spokesperson CaptainThulani Zwane said the 19-year-oldman faces a charge of being inpossession of stolen property.

Standing upagainst crime

NICOLE JOHN>>news@myecho.co.za

AN average housewife with thedesire to keep the communityinformed about PMBhappenings.

This describes Shanaaz Buxwho began Crime Alert PMB,which operates instantaneouslyon Blackberry Messenger.

Bux, known toher4000or socontacts as the friendlyneighbourhood butterfly,broadcasts traffic updates,accidentscenes,housebreak insand the like, which enables herto keep the community asinformed as possible in an effortto fight crime.

Bux said that she began tobroadcast traffic updates to herneighbours when she went outduring the day to her childrenfrom school. She said that shewould let them know wheretherewererobotsnotworkingortraffic congestion.

It was from those humblebeginningsthatCrimeAlertPMBwas born and since November2013, with just a few contacts,Bux now operates two phoneswith 2 000 contacts on each.

Bux has on her contacts listpolice members, reporters,rescue services, firemen andaveragecitizens.Whoeverseesacrime, traffic issue or anythingthat they feel other citizensshould know about, they let Buxknow and she broadcasts it toher contact list.

Bux has been the ‘first on thescene’ for many criminal activi-ties that have taken place in thecity recently, sometimes evenbeforethepolicebecauseshehasdirect contact with the citizens.

“We need to work together tohelp others. Letting each otherknow what’s going on in thecommunityaroundus,”shesaid.

Bux said that the communityresponse has been overwhelm-ing.

“People have been soimpressed with what I’m doingbecause it’s immediate and soeffective.”

Cycling is fun and entertaining to childrenECHO REPORTER>>news@myecho.co.za

PARENTS can teach their children tobesafecyclistsbygoingoutwiththemand leadingby example, said generalmanager of thePedal PowerAssocia-tion Karin Pohl.

The PPA is the largest cyclingorganization in South Africa.

Cycling can be one way where achild gets enoughexerciseduring theschool holidays, and it makes for agood day’s entertainment for thewhole family, she said.

“Cycling represents fun, freedomand fresh air, everything that’s goodabout being a child. It is also an easyway to burn calories and to learnco-ordination. Teaching children totraveleffectivelybybicycleastheygetolder develops patience, discipline,self-reliance and personal responsi-bility. Learning to cycle also teaches

essential driving skills that will makethem safer and more courteousmotorists later in life.

“Like swimming and motoring,the safety of cycling is determined

primarily by behaviour. Educationand skill development is the key tosuccess. An important considerationfor cycling with children is matchingroute selection and adult supervision

to the developmental and skill levelsof a child,” said Pohl.

Riding with children affords aparent the opportunity to supervisetheir cycling, especially at edgelocationssuchasstreetcrossings,shesaid.

“Parents should model consistentbehaviour by stopping and lookingboth ways before proceeding, andinvitethechildtoassist inassessmentof traffic conditions. When ridingwith a child to supervise theirbicycling, an ideal riding position isslightly behind and to the right of thechild. Thispositionallows theparentto watch and communicate with thechild,while also diverting overtakingtraffictopassatalargerdistancefromthe child,” she said.

Other tips when cycling>> You must always wear a helmet.>> You must ride in single file.>> Do not hold onto any other vehicles.>> Don’t swerve from side to side.>> Don’t carry another person or object that prevents you from seeing whereyou are going, and from having complete control over your bicycle.>> If you are riding on a public road where there is a bicycle lane, use thatlane.>> You may ride on any road, expect on a freeway or a road closed to cycling.>> Obey all traffic laws, including stopping at red traffic lights and all stopstreets. Proceed through intersections only when it is safe to do so.

Stylish newcomer from MitsubishiAS part of its expanding footprint in SouthAfrica, Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up for thedebut of the all-new Mitsubishi Mirage inAugust 2014.

Poised to take the fight to competitors in thebudget- and youth-focused A-segment, thisstylish entry-level 5-door Japanese hatchbackprides itself on providing fuel efficient,enjoyable motoring coupled with youthfulappeal.

The mirage range will consist of threemodels, all with compact proportions hiding asurprisingly spacious vehiclewhich is an idealeveryday run-around.

“Mitsubishi is renowned all over the worldas one of Japan’s foremost automotive brandsandweareonaresurgenceintheSouthAfricanmarket,” commented Wynand Pretorius,General Manager at Mitsubishi Motors SouthAfrica.

“TheMirage isa funlittlecarwhichreceivedan extremely positive response when it wasexhibited at last year’s JohannesburgInternational Motor Show. In these ever-increasingly difficult economic times, itmakesall the sense in theworld to introduce our newsupermini, which will be very competitivelypriced.”

Themirage is targeted at amarket inwhichpurchase price, fuel efficiency and cost ofownership play vital roles in thedecision-making process.

All new Mirage derivativeswill be powered byMitsubishi’s1.2-litre,

3-cylinder MIVEC DOHC petrol engine, matedto a five-speed manual transmission.

“The vehicle will easily keep up with thehustle and bustle of busy city streets as well asthe open roads so characteristic of SouthAfrica,” explained Pretorius. “The Mirage isalso exceptionally fuel efficient thanks toMIVEC – Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timingElectronic Control.”

Average fuel economy on the combinedcycle is just 4.9-litres per 100 km, allowing theMirage to punch above its weight on the fuelefficiency front. In fact, it is acclaimed as themost fuel-efficient non-hybrid petrol vehicleavailable in the United States.

Impressive too is that the Mirage is fittedwith creature comforts like keyless entry anda full complement of safety equipmentincludingABS,EBDanddual airbags as stand-ard. All this packaged in a funky-looking bodydesigned around Mitsubishi’s RISE(Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) impact-absorbing chassis structure.

The new Mitsubishi Mirage will be backedbyMitsubishiMotors’s comprehensive3-year/100 000 km warranty. Full details of therange, as well as pricing, will beannounced at the vehicle’slaunch.

Etios crosses over to the wild sideCOMBINING the rugged good

looks of an SUV with the fluentdrive, fuel efficiency and

manoeuvre-ability of a hatch, thenew Toyota Etios Cross is ready towrite another chapter in this budget-beater’s success story.

Speaking at the launch, GlennCrompton, vice president of market-ing, said: “The Etios delivers exactlywhat customers want – car-likeefficiency and typical crossoverstyling traits at an affordable price. Itmarks our entry into yet anothercategory in the diverse and fastgrowing sub-B segment of the carmarket.”

The Etios Cross allows buyers totap into the tough image of an SUVwithout incurring the cost.

Withthe focus firmlyonpracticali-ty and efficiency, the Cross is user-friendly, while possessing the addedrobust appeal of a crossover.

LikeitsbrothersintheEtiosfamily,the Cross has a 1,5-litre, quad-valve,four-cylinder, 66kW engine pushingout132Nmof torqueanda five-speedmanual gearbox.

Key standard features of the Etiosrange include electric powersteering, air conditioning, powerwindows, a Double Din audio systemwith USB and AUX ports, ABS, EBD,

dual front airbags and an immobilis-er.

In the Cross model, the interiorboasts a sleek dashboard withpiano-black metallic finishes and

chrome detailing around the airvents.

The masculine face of the EtiosCross is a result of the new grilledesign that extends all the way intothe bumpers, mimicking the appear-ance of bumper overriders.

The chunky front bumperis further enhanced by oversizedfog lamps with integrated turnindicators and a ribbed front scuffplate.

Completing the front end is arevised headlight cluster whichblends in with the new grille.

Bringing up the rear, the backdoor gets a stylish garnish stripand a matte black bumper,coupled with prominent “puzzlepiece” reverse light lenses.

Two new colours are exclusiveto the Etios Cross - inferno metallic(a vivid orange) and jet greymetallic.

CLIVEBarkerhaswarnedthe South AfricanFootball Association (Safa)

not to hire a foreign coach again forBafana Bafana.

Barker, who led the SA nationalteam to a 1996 African Cup of Nationsvictory,stressedthatthecountry’sfootballcontrolling body should avoid the samemistake of appointing a person who does notunderstand the SA football culture.

The well-travelled Durban born, andcurrent Mpumalanga Black Aces, coach said itwould be like Safa signing a “death warrant” if acoach from abroad or outside South Africa bordersis signed.

“Iamstill sayingour localcoaches, ImeanSAbornmentors,are thebest.LookatShakesMashabawhenhe was a senior national coach. His record wasoutstanding and is still the best until now.

“Other local coaches like Gavin Hunt, GordonIgesund and Pitso Mosimane are still the best,”saidBarker.

Barker said it must be remembered that all thecoachesthatcamefromabroadtocoachtheSAseniornational team have not produced the requiredresults.

“Honestly, all of themhave failed andwemust notthink about them again. The likes of Carlos Queiroz,Carlos Alberto Parreira, Phillip Troussier and JoelSantana all failed and it was the biggest mistake tobring them on board,” he explained.

Safawas supposed to name the new coach to replacecurrent coach Gordon Igesund this weekend, but theannouncementhasbeenpostponedandnonewdatehasbeen given.

Safa President Danny Jordaan said it was up to theexecutive committee of Safa when to choose the newcoach.

Coaches likely to make the final cut are Mashaba,StephenKeshifromNigeriaandFrankRijkaardfromtheNetherlands.

Inefficiency andlazinessTHEmore thingschange themore theyremainthe same. The poor have no future in ourcountry.

It is interesting to note that over the past 20years, football in this town has lost morefacilities. A few football training and playingfieldsinAlexandraParkhavebeengiventoelitesports like biking.

Many years of oppression have made thepoor docile, and those in power are taking fulladvantage of this situation.

It has also been interesting to note develop-ments and interests of municipalities offeringmonies to professional clubs, while poor kidsin the townships have no facilities andequipment.

We just wonder what happened to theslogans: doors of learning will open for all.

It seems our affluent status has made usblind to the needs of the poor township folk.

It hurts to see grassroots football dying inPietermaritzburg and surrounding areas. Wehave not been promoting any clubs to provin-cialandnational leagues forsometime. Ithurtsto see a situation where interests of officialscome before those of players.

Our inefficiency and laziness is destroyingthe future of the youth. Our district footballassociation needs to wake up and smell thecoffee.

It is unacceptable that administrative

blunders affect footballers. How can a teamfrom Sisonke district do better than UMgun-gundlovu teams? This cannot be allowed tohappen in a town that has produced morenational teams’ footballers thananyinKwaZu-lu-Natal. Do people understand the dangers ofsubjecting players to twomatches everyweek-end?What about the implications of not goingthroughpre-seasontrainingbecauseofadmin-istrative blunders?

Please let us put the interest of the playersfirst. BafanaBafanasuccesswill remainapipedream as long as those in power neglect thegrassroots. I think the Municipality also needto have a political will. It is sad that ourgeneration enjoyed better football facilitiesduring apartheid years.

Why the new order is failing to service thepresent footballers better boggles the mind.History will judge us harshly if we do notchange.

Unzima Lomthwalo!

starting line-up.Also, two lucky spectators will be

offeredtheopportunityofsittingonthebench and coaching their differentteams.

“It soundscrazybutboth teamswillhave a coach of the day. This is reallyabout honouring our fans and lettingthem be in charge for the day,” saidModisane.

Modisane said that the tournamentis always a full house and a mouthwateringevent.Hestrongly shotdownclaims of the event being a joke.

Pirates votes indicate that the fansare interested in attacking football.They have shown faith in the likes offormer Chiefs striker Majoro, DaineKlate, Kermit Erasmus, Tlou Segolela,Oupa Manyisa, Sifiso Myeni and theirevergreen goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

Chiefs die-hards displayed a lot ofrespectfortheirBafanaBafanakeeper,and ever-trusted captain, ItumelengKhune.
