ance, Lutho told some boys that shewas goingto fetch sugar from the crèche.The boys said they had seen a man who

was at the crèche. He also failed to tell us howhe got the keys to the crèche,” said one of theboys.Express learnt from a reliable source that

the house of the man who was suspected ofkidnapping Qudalele, was burnt down bycommunity members.This happened after a bra belonging to the

victim was allegedly found next to the sus-pect’s house.Police SpokespersonCaptain JacksonMan-

atha confirmed that the body of Lutho Qu-dalele was found with multiple stab woundsto the upper body.“The police had initially opened a case of

THIS year the Mthatha Heritage Festival willtake place in various venues in Mthatha fromSeptember 19 to 21, with the main event, TheJazz Festival, on Saturday, September 20 atthe Mthatha Country Club from 2pm.

“The festival is an annual event that has thevision of creating a lot of fun, platforms of eco-nomic growth and networks for the FormerTranskei to celebrate national HeritageMonth and as a tool to showcase its local tal-ent in style as well as its diverse cultures andtraditions,” said festival director, TandoSapepa Nogaga. “This festival is very goodfor the advancement of Mthatha’s profile asa tourist destination and the central town ofthe former Transkei,” said Nogaga.

As South Africa is celebrating 20 years ofdemocracy, the organisers said this year thefestival is going to celebrate 20 years of de-mocracy authentically and in style.

With something for everyone in this year’sprogramme, the line-up of the Jazz festivalconsists of big internationally recognizedstars like, Caiphus Semenya, Ringo Madlin-gozi, Sfiso Ncwane, Ntando, Ifani, and Mt-hathas very own Snoux Poswa, Bushy Duba-zana, DJ PK, Anger, Master Jam, DJ Martinand many more. Included as part of the festi-val is the launch of the Mthatha Heritage Cupsoccer tournament with a knockout battle be-tween the four Vodacom Provincial leagueteams, namely Mthatha Bush Bucks, ThembuRoyals, Mthatha City and Zimbane Killers.

The tournament will take place on Septem-ber 20, together with a Heritage Golf Tourna-ment and Aerobics Marathon which could be

viewed at the Mthatha Country Club.The 21km Marathon, which is dedicated to

Zithulele Sinqe, a long time record holderfrom Mthatha, will start at the MaqhinebeniLocation and end at the Mthatha CountryClub on September 20. To register for the21km Marathon, the 10km fun run and the5km fun walk, contact Siza Nyangeni fromthe Cheaters Club at 0614125677.

Nogaga said the KSD has now officially in-tegrated the Mthatha Heritage Festival intoits annual “KSD Month” programme for Sep-tember and the OR Tambo District Munici-pality has adopted this Festival as part oftheir Tourism Month programme.

“This is a unique example of partnershipbetween Local Government, the private sec-tor and the community. Most companies, de-partments and organizations that have spon-sored the festival in the past, are still onboard. This should serve as motivation for theMthatha businesses that haven’t yet joinedthis innovative initiative,” said Nogaga.

Tickets are available at Computicket andat De’leulz International at the Southern-wood shopping mall at R200 each and R500 fora VIP ticket. Festival goers are encouragedto bring their cooler boxes and camp chairs.

POLICE officials hosted an imbizo againstgender based violence in Lusikisiki last weekwith the aim of educating people about the se-riousness of killing people suspected of witch-craft.

For the past few years residents had beenfaced with various cases in different wards ofLusikisiki where elderly women had been ac-cused of practising witchcraft and killed.Most of the time it had been older women whowere the victims of these acts.

Police Spokesperson, Captain JacksonManatha, said this was done as part of Wom-en’s Month.

They regard the Lusikisiki area as onewhere there was a great need for awarenessas it was one of the areas where there was ahigh rate of women who were murdered afterbeing accused of practising witchcraft.

“Among the incidents which occurred inneighbouring Ntabankulu in April, awoman who had visited her husband’sgrave to do cultural rituals, was burnt to

death, together with others who had ac-companied her, including a nyanga,” saidManatha.

In May a 63 year old woman was kidnappedand killed. Four people were arrested in con-nection with this incident. Another womanwas killed in Qongwana location at Lusikisikiin July.

According to Manatha, community mem-bers from these areas of Lusikisiki had askedfor the assistance of the police to form com-munity policing forums, since they no longerfelt safe.

Manatha said at the moment there were notmany incidents of this nature in the Butter-worth Cluster.

A resident from the Lusikisiki area, Lukh-anyo Mthongana, said they wished govern-ment would create job opportunities so thatthe youth could have something constructiveto do, to prevent them from getting involvedin criminal activities.

“To sit in the taverns drinking alcohol andsmoking drugs lead us to do wrong things, sowe urge government to work hand in handwith us,” said Mthongana.

THE Department of Sports, Recreation, Artsand Culture, in partnership with the Provin-cial Gender Machinery under stewardship ofthe Eastern Cape Multiparty Women’s Cau-cus, will be hosting aWomen’s Day commem-oration at Cala Indoor Centre on August 29.

Inaugurated in 1994, along with a free, dem-ocratic South Africa, Women’s Month com-memorates the 1956 protest led by LilianNgoyi, Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu andSophia Williams-De Bruyn.To rise up against the legislation that re-

quired black South Africans to carry the“pass” (special identification documentswhich infringed on their freedom of move-ment during the Apartheid era), approxi-mately 20 000 women from all over the coun-try took to the streets of Pretoria – many car-rying the children of their white bosses ontheir backs – to stage a peaceful march to theUnion Buildings.After dropping off bundles of petitions, con-

tainingmore than 100 000 signatures at PrimeMinister JG Strijdom’s offices, they stood insilence for thirty minutes. A song was com-

posed in honour of this momentous occa-sion, “Wathint’ Abafazi Wathint’ imboko-do!” (Now you have touched the women, youhave struck a rock).An inspiring display of political strength,

female solidarity and inner fortitude, themarch on August 9, 1956 is both a reminderof the great womenwho helpedmould SouthAfrica and the trailblazing women who con-tinue to lead the country forward.The Manager of Communications in the

Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts andCulture, Manzandonga Vabaza, said theywill be celebrating Women’s Month.“We will then visit the projects that are in

Sakhisizwe.Acentral element of both thena-tional and provincial Strategic Priorities,are to bring women, including those withdisabilities, to the centre of the economy andsociety through various socio-economic de-velopment projects and other initiatives,”said Vabaza.In line with the national call for all prov-

inces to honour and attend the NationalWomen’s Day Commemoration on August 9,the Provincial Gender Machinery recom-mended that the province host its Women’sDay celebrations on August 29.

NomaNobanda from theMtyu location saidthe money is sometimes delayed for up to twomonths. “I started getting child maintenancefrom Libode in 2004 and things were finewhen we used to collect it from the court.”

She said things started to go wrong whenthe system was changed and their monies de-posited into their bank accounts.

“Since June this year, I have not been paid,while the employer of my ex-spouse con-firmed that the money gets deducted from hissalary every month,” she said.

A man (25) from Mt Frere is still asking him-self how he had escaped death after a merci-less attack by a group of men in the earlyhours of last Saturday.

KennyMvukelawas attacked togetherwithhis four friends. His cousin lost his life, whilethe other threemanaged to escapewithminorinjuries.

Kenny said it all started when a group ofmen attacked themwith bushknives and pan-gas without saying a word.

He thinks that the men thought they weremembers of a gang in Mt Frere, even thoughthey had nothing to do with any gangsters.

“Apparently there is tension between thegangsters fromMtFrere townand those of theLubhacweni location, so I think they thoughtwe were their enemy,” said Mvukela.

He thanked God and said, “I don’t knowhow I escaped death. I was seeing my gravein front of me when these guys were wieldingweapons over me while I was on the ground.

“I said a small prayer asking forGod to saveme, while they were beating me all over mybody and face. My friends and my cousin ran

in the other direction and these chaps wentafter them.

“I opened my eyes and asked God to giveme power to wake up, even though they werenot stopping to hit me with these swords andothers stabbing me with knives. FortunatelyGod heard my prayer because I was able towake up and run away while bleeding,” saidMvukela. What rubbed more salt in Mvuke-la’s wounds was that he ran to the police sta-tion, but the police officials on duty allegedlyfailed to help him and instead chased him outof the police station. As a result he only man-aged to open a case after he had been dis-charged from hospital.

Police in Mt Frere refused to comment onthe matter of Mvukela being chased away,but said that five suspects were arrested re-garding the case and that they would appearin the Mt Frere Magistrates’ court today.

Mvukela’s cousin Xolani Bangaza was bur-ied last Saturday at his home in Mt Frere.

AS you know guys ukuba sazi izinto ezininzion the Express land. Whatever you do youneed to be careful especially if you practicethat action under the influence of somethingand it is at night.

We were at Mabaleng tavern last weekendin Lusiki for an outing with our friends. Uyazike kwezi ndawo kuya-‘spinzwa’ kunxilwekuncwaswane.

Then, one of our buddy kucace ukuba uyewancwasa wangade awine mara ingane yahl-ala naye phaya, then xa kuzosa bohlukana za-ya ngezindlu zazo. Umfethu ebenge-busy kenomntwana ekissa ngathi wenzela abantu.

So, xa sesihamba uyasitsakela ukuba ebeh-leli nomntwana o-‘vat’ kwatsho uJoe Nina

and he is going to show us this girl. Nathi wehad an interest because simazi engena-choiceeMacherin. After having our breakfast at SipsB&B we drove to town siyobona iloja lalo mji-ta ebesichomela ngalo.

Sodibana phi ke? NgaseKFC. We drove ourTuru-turu 2 to the place and we parked infront of KFC.

There was a very ugly stout lady who wasstanding right in front of the KFC. Jokingly,uGesh uthi nakuya umntu wakho athi lo mji-ta no akunguye lowa.

Okay, he phoned the lady but the personwho picked up the phone was the one who wasstanding in front of KFC.

Umfethu wayi-‘dropper’ esithi perhaps itwas a coincidence. He redialled, the same lady

picked up the phone.Wancama wathi masihambe akanokwazi

ukuvela kumntu ombi kangaka.Sezisola nangaloo mi-kisso ayenze kulo si-

si. Shame, uqhathwe zii-disco lights notywalabamenza usisi wakho wamhle. Ngoku utywa-la buphelile kumanxa abonayo ukuba usisi loungxolisiwe. Shame, basop iziphuzo nee-lights ebusuku.

Hayibo!! Usekhona?

Uyazi izinto zininzi phandlapha, uye uthixa ungasamboni umntu ucinge ukubaakasekho kulo umagad’ahlabayo kubakuyahanjwa shame.

Don’t play big because there are signswhich show that you are not a big ‘shot’

Bafethu, there is an outie of mine who al-ways play big, iqhatha mna Gesh endingaziyoukuba ndayiphiwa ngubani.

Da marn is in Jozi and he always claimsthat he stays in Sandton.

Ngokokwazi kwam ke daai pleg iSandtonkuhlala the big guys who are monied.

Okay, I don’t have any problem with hisSandton because I’m fine in Ngolo where Istay right now.

Mara there is something which exposes theguy that he does not stay in Sandton and heis not a big ‘shot’.

Last week we met another buddy of minewho knows iJozi very well.

I was listening attentively when the newfriend asked him about some plegs of enter-tainment in Sandton.

Mara umfethu he did not gave proper an-swers instead he defended that he was notused to go out from his room after work.

Owomntu ke uhlala ekhalaza ngokunga-bikho ma-night clubs eTkei, esithi uqheleawase-Sandton.

He does not even know the street where hedwells. Ngumhlola ke lowo. Secondly, xa efikaapha unkala the cheapest staff and it wouldbe only that week of his arrival after that ub-heke thina.

He is so lucky because ooGesh they drinkcheap shame.

Even when thetime to return to Jo-zi he would comeand borrow R300 ifnot R500. Mind, keevery time whenhis around hisbank cards alwaysdoesn’t allow himto withdraw mon-ey.

Siyayibona wenale ngqondo yakhoucinga ukubauyasibalela. Oneday we will demandhim to take us to hisplace in Sandton ashe know ours.

Uyazi ezegossipteam azipheli, sowait for the nextedition where youwill get the hot gos-sip ever. Mojaa.

His music caters for all people of all ag-es. He appealed to the youth to stand upand fight for their lives in stead of spend-ing time committing crime and drinkingalcohol.

BOXING has been growing in leaps andbounds in the Mthatha region in the recentpast. This is albeit Mthatha-born boxers hav-ing moved to other regions and provinces inpursuit of better opportunies or the proverbi-al greener pastures.

Boxers like former Female SA Welter-weight champion, Rita Mrwebi, whose re-turn-fight against Julie Tshabala at the Ori-ent Theatre in East London at the weekendwas declared a draw, like being introducedas coming from Mthatha in the Transkei,even though they are currently based in Jo-hannesburg.

Former IBF world Junior Lightweightkingpin Mzonke “The Rose of Khayelitsha”Fana was born and raised in Qumbu beforehe moved to Cape Town. Fana had his recentouting against Themba Tshicila at TsoloJunction Hall for the WBF IntercontinentalChampionship at his birth-place, Qumbu.“This was thanks to the support by the lo-

cal Qumbu Municipality,” according to Box-ing South African (BSA) Eastern Cape Serv-ice Provider Phakamile Jacobs.According to Jacobs, boxing was able to

thrive in the Mthatha area thanks to the fi-nancial injention from the Qumbu and O.RTambo District Municipalities.“There are boxers like the current South

African and WBA Pan African Minifly-

weight kingpin Simphiwe Khonco andLuthando Mbumbulwana (a useful JuniorFeatherweight) that still call Mthatha home.Khonco draws big crowds in the area whenhe fights,” noted Jacobs, adding that formerBantamweight WBF Intercontinental cham-pion Bulelani Nama was still based in Mt-hatha.“We’re working hard for boxing develop-

ment here,” said Khonco’s mentor, One-more-time Dyonase.According to Dyonashe, there were cur-

rently seven local boxing clubs that trainboth professional and amateur boxers in thearea, including one club in Butterworth.Dyonase said that Khonco, the first boxer

from the area to win national and interna-tional boxing titles, was hard at work for hisupcoming contest for the vacant IBO Interna-tional Miniflyweight title against unbeatenDuncan Village, East London’s NhlanhlaNgamntwini at the Orient Theatre in EastLondon on Sunday October 5.East London’s Mamali Boxing Promotions

head Siphatho Handi, who looks after Khon-cos’ business, confirmed the fight.Dyonase said a handful of their amateur

boxers would be involved in the EC CadetChampionships at theMqanduli CommunityHall this Saturday August 30.
