LAUGHING WITHlunga adam

Are you smarter forfor this season?Oh yes we are back, smack-bang in themiddle of a broke month, and smarterthan ever.I say ‘smarter’ because 2014 seemed to

me like a year of moegoes. And no, I’mnot talking about Brickz, Oscar Pistorius,Shrien Dewani and the like. Whilewinding down the year that was, Ihappened to meet a couple of people whorelated to me notable stories about theiryear, and hence I came to the conclusionthat we had a lot of moegoes in our midstlast year. That needs to change. One suchmoegoe, who almost made a moegoe ofme, is Mawande Jamba, who is one in along list of people I call friends. You see,Mawande can sell ice to an Eskimo andat times the instinct to tell the truthevades him.So it is that some time during Decem-

ber, I met him at an eatery in kasi,where you are allowed to bring yourdrinks and chill. I noticed that the oneside of his neck was covered in a castand he told me he had been in anaccident on his way from Stellenbosch.He had been travelling in a taxi. I feltgreat pity for him and we both agreedthat we were grateful that he was sparedhis life. Later that evening, with thewaters of immortality clearly havingtaken effect on him, he comes up to meagain and says: “Eish, bro, did I tell youthat my car is a complete write-off afterthe accident? Luckily it is insured.” Myonly concern is that he is a teacher byprofession. Get my point?

Another notable moegoe is a guy I metin some loud place, and he was at painsto explain that a girl he had met at atavern vanished with his R8 000. Nojokes! The chap fell in love with the girland got way too comfortable around her,and it was to his detriment. He showedher where he stayed, gave her spare keysto his house, etc – yet I doubt ebekhewamsa nase Bhayi. This one day he wassitting at the beer hall, knocking backone after the other, when the girl paid anasty visit to his place in his absence. Heransacked it and came across the stash ofcash. Christmas had come early forunopatazana! “Ndithe nqa la mntananeetshomi zakhe bebesitya i Bell’s izolo.Iyazela phi i whiskey la wey?” comment-ed another fellow who had lent an ear asthe painful story was being relived.Stupidly, our friend retorted: “Hayimyeke wena, ndizophinda ndibenemali.”Any cure for stupidity? The chick hadalso stolen his bank card and, since sheknew the moegoe’s pin number, you canimagine just how much fun she had.Moegoe of the worst kind, our pal.There were many such stories from

various interactions I had with friendsand strangers during the festive season,and it led me to pen this article, alertingall of you to be on your guard at alltimes this year. This is the year to besmart and continue chasing thosedreams. And I reiterate: while at it,please be smart. Or is that too much toask?

Joy as stokvel members fill food basketsHard work pays off in the end and thatseemed to be the case with some kasi resi-dents after they shared their end of the yeargrocery savings in Philippi over the week-end.

These residents formed part of ninety fivemembers of the Siyakha Mothers ProjectSavings Scheme.

The organization has members fromDelft, Gugelethu, Khayelitsha, Nyanga andother surrounding areas.

The scheme has operated since the 1998and each member contributes a monthlypremium of R300.

Then each member receives about R7000worth of groceries that include a sheep, four10 kilograms of mealie meal, bread flour,samp and sugar. There is also eight ricepacks of the same size, four boxes of chicken,canned vegetable and a variety of otheritems, amongst them to prepare for theirChristmas feasts.

“I appreciated Siyakha operations andbenefits after I saw what my neighbourachieved yearly after she became involvedwith the organisation.

“This is helpful to us as struggling people.It offers us good opportunity because some-times we unable to save properly for the endof the year on our own,” boasted saidNoxoloSomfongo (41) of Delft.

“I am immensely overwhelmed that theday has arrived because I am now assuredof food for Christmas and beyond” saidShakesMakhangela (64), a father of six fromKhayelitsha.

Makhangela has been with the organiza-tion since the beginning of the year and alsoencouraged other residents to learn aboutthe advantages of savings schemes.

Mandisa Lusizi, Siyakha Project’s chair-person said they also fundraised their al-ready saved cash by loaning it to other resi-dents during the year to enable each mem-ber to receive R7000 worth groceries.

“There were 23 members in 1998 after westruggled to afford the high rising grocerycosts. “We first saved cash whichwe sharedamongst ourselves by the year end, and laterchanged to groceries after we realised thatgroceries lasted longer than cash, said Lusi-zi.

Excited stokvel members rejoice as they get their share.

ANC: Throngs celebrate 103 years

Zuma calls for business supportSTAFF REPORTER

Thousands of ANC supporters flocked to theCape Town Stadium on Saturday to cele-brate the 103rd anniversary of the rulingparty.The city centre was awash with the gold,

green and black of theAfricanNational Con-gress as supporters scrambled to find publictransport to get to the venue.Security was tight as hundreds of city law

enforcement officers, members of the SA Po-lice Service, private security and ANC mar-shals maintained law and order.Bags were searched thoroughly at access

control points, slowing down the entry ofpeople into the stadium.By 10:00 the stadium was half full, with

many still queuing at the turnstiles outside.Before the bash president Jacob Zumahad

called on businesses to help finance theANC, telling businessmen attending a galadinner that thosewho funded theparty stoodto make more money.This announcement was made at a Friday

night’s gala dinner inCapeTown,whichwasjust one of many lavish parties held by theANC lastweek to celebrate its 103rd anniver-sary.Zuma said: “We’re not forcing people ...

you can support and be a supporter, but ifyou go beyond that and become a member,[and] if you’re a businessman, your businesswill multiply. Everything you touch willmultiply.”The newspaper reported thatminingmag-

nate Patrice Motsepe and his wife Dr Pre-ciousMoloi-Motsepewere among those seat-ed at Zuma’s table.Insiders reportedly told the newspaper

that Motsepe had paid R3m to secure the ta-ble.Other tables ranged from R150 000 to R400

000 – depending on their proximity to Zuma.On Saturday, Zuma addressed an estimat-

ed 70 000 supporters at the Cape Town stadi-um as part of the party’s birthday celebra-tions.Zuma devoted much of his speech to talk-

ing about corruption, saying there was a

misperception that the ANC was largely re-sponsible for it.“It cannot be...it’s another misrepresenta-

tionof fact,” he said at theparty’s 103rd anni-versary rally at Cape Town stadium.Zuma said the ANC government had been

unique in its attempts to root out corruptionin the public service.“We cannot allow the scourge of corrup-

tion that eats at the fabric of our society andconstrains economic development [to con-tinue].“TheANCmust continue to lead in ending

corruption in the state, the private sector

and amongst our own members.”Earlier, Zumadiscussed themost pressing

challenge facing the government in the yearahead - notably Eskom’s capacity problems.“Our country needs creative and pragmat-

ic solutions to guarantee security of supplyfor our energy needs.”Zuma said the government would contin-

ue to explore alternative options in nuclear,gas and renewable energy.“The ANC is therefore putting energy as

one of our apex priorities.”Turning to social challenges, Zuma said

land remained a pressing concern for the

ANC.“Land has been at the heart of the historic

injustice of dispossession and the strippingof the dignity of the African people.“We commit that the land will return to

our people and the ANC calls on its govern-ment to act with necessary speed to put thelegislation in place, this year, to ensure thatthis happens.”However, he said that expropriation

would be done in line with the Constitutionand, hand in hand with this, would be deci-sive steps to prevent farm evictions.- News24

Entrepreneur: Your dirty shoes his money

Airport shoe shine king speaksZINTLE SWANA

Lere Mosieane Mgayiya dreamt of beinga pilot. But when that didn’t work out he

started the shoe shining business that youfind in every major South African airport.Mgayiya was born and raised in Gugulet-

hu. He wanted so much to be a pilot that herepeated grade 12 to get good enough marksto start a pilot-training career.Yet when he finally got into the industry

he found out that it was not what he wantedto do with his life. “When SAA offered posi-tions I jumped at the opportunity. But whenI became a part of it, getting a mentor to flywith me and showing me what pilots do, itwas all boring for me and I just did not seemyself doing that job for a long time,” saysMgayiya.Mgayiya won R18,000 in a competition on

a television programme where contestantshad to use their entrepreneurial skills.With his prize money he bought shares

and worked in a black economic empower-ment company called Wild Orchid.Itwaspromisingat the timebuthe figured

that itwould takehimyears to reap rewards.So he started a mobile public cell phone

business thatwasunsuccessful.Andheblewhis savings on it.At this stage Mgayiya was at “rock bot-

tom”, with no ideas. “I was considered a los-er bymypeers and family because I resignedfrom SAA and the money I invested wasgone.That created a lot of pressure for me to

look for a job. But I did not want to do thatbecause it is not who I am at all,” he says.InAugust 2002Mgayiyawas inGreenMar-

ket Square reading a newspaper articleabout a man near him who was shiningshoes. And the idea crossed his mind.“I was sitting there thinking despite all

my creativity and upbringing I was still aloser. I’m looking at this guy doing this joband trying to imagine how much money hemade a day and howwell hewas doing. I sawhim often and I thought he did not make

enough money, until I read about him.”“I did all the mathematics in my head but

I couldnot thinkproperlybecause Iwashun-gry for success and needed something tostart with that would give me an income sothat I could be able to think again,” he says.When Mgayiya told people that he would

be shining shoes, he says they thoughtworseof him for having once been an SAA employ-ee to nowbeing a shoe shiner. But it was finefor him because, he says, he was finding outwho he really was at that stage.He went to Umsobomvu Youth Fund that

is now the National Youth DevelopmentAgency and they drafted a good businessplan for him. He also went to the banks toask for loans. He asked relatives and friendstoo. Some promised but when the time cameto give him a loan, they all ran away, saysMgayiya. Eventually only his mother camethrough for him. She gave him R1,500. Theidea was to target the business travel at theairport.“It took about a year for the airport to re-

spond to my proposal, I ordered two chairsfrom a carpenter that I could not pay for be-cause the people who promised to lend memoney all ran away.Without my wife knowing I sold our tele-

vision, radio and a fridge for R10,000 alto-gether. Then I could pay for the two chairs,”Mgayiya says. “Whenmywife got back fromwork she called me screaming that we hadbeen robbed. It was kind of funny and frus-trating at the same time.”On 2 October 2003 the business started. It

was only Mgayiya and his one employee.The chairswere deliveredwithout the boxeswhere customers could put their feet. So onthe first day they used their knees to supportcustomers’ feet. Luckily, the next day theboxes were delivered.Mgayiya says, “When we started we

charged customers R15 for a pair of shoesand made about R120 on our first day.At the end of the month we were so

amazed that we made R7,000, we bought athird chair and in November we madeR8,000. Because our business depends on

business travel, we did not make money inDecember because of holidays. I started em-ploying more guys to help us.”According to Mgayiya, they first called it

The Airport Shoe Shine and customersthought it belonged to the airport. SoMgayi-ya decided to rather name it after thefounder. Today it is called Lere’s Shoe-ShineExperience. He says more customers sup-ported his business because of the namechange.Mgayiya has learned a lot from the busi-

ness. “One morning a customer asked,‘What’s in the business news today?’ I hadno clue. I knew nothing about the businessworld.He toldme to read and buy business news-

papers for customers. I started reading eventhough I did not know what I was reading.I did not understand the terms in the articles

but it took me a day at a time and I taughtmyself about the repo rate, inflation, CPIXand other terms,” he says.“In that way Iwas able to interact withmy

customers and theywere impressedwithmeso they kept coming back for the interac-tion.”Today Lere’s Shoe Shine has expanded to

five airports: Cape Town, OR Tambo, KingShaka, George and East London. He has 44employees.“The business is doing well so far and our

plan is to expand to taxi ranks, bus stations,railway stations, central business districtsand corporate organisations,” Mgayiyasays.He has since also become involved in a

business that hires chairs for events.Mgayi-ya says, “The secret about starting is to juststart.”– GoundUp

Gogo’s grant eaten by airtime deductionsMANDLA MAHASHE

There seems to be no light at the end of thetunnel for pension and other social grant re-cipients who have seen monies deductedfrom the grants.

The deductions which vary between R80and R100 have been going on since mid 2014,according to victims from Khayelitsha.

Nomathemba Nini, 68, is one of the victimswho are angered by these deductions whichshe never agreed on.

“Ever since the first deduction which hap-pened in June last year, they have been tak-ing my money every month. It wouldn’t bea problem if I had made an agreement withsomeone but I never agreed on any such de-ductions,” said Nini from her Ilitha ParkHome.

She said that the amount ranges betweenR85 to R100. On the receipt the reference is“prepaid airtime”, which drives Nini crazyas she says that she buys airtime from theshops using cash.

She said that Sassa officials treat her withcontempt every time she goes to seek help.

“I have been there more than twice and theworkers there told me to stop getting intothings that I don’t know about. I don’t re-member getting into such an agreement oreven giving away my details to such people,”she says.

She told City Vision that Sassa staff alsoeluded to pensioners grand children as pos-sible culprits.

“My 20-year-old granddaughter also hasthe same problem. Her 8-month-old child’sgrant also has airtime deduction that sheknows nothing about. This is really confus-ing and they are not giving us answers,” saidthe enraged gogo.

Two houses away from Nini’s home anoth-er pensioner, Thembeka Timoti, has thesame headache.

“I first noticed that there were deductionsin September 2014 and went to the local Sas-sa office to enquire.

They just told me that I may have agreedwith some company but I do not remembergetting into an agreement for airtime,” shesaid.

She said that many other pensioners were

complaining about the same problem but didnot have anywhere to go.

“They are the ones who are supposed tohelp us in such matters because we neverasked for this. If indeed there are people run-ning a scam they need to be stopped,” Timotitold City Vision.

Sassa officials were unable to respond toCity Vision’s questions at the time of goingto print.

Last year November the MEC for social de-velopment, Albert Frits, sent out a publicwarning regarding a scam targeting socialgrants recipients in Khayelitsha and sur-rounding areas.

According to Frits recipients were dupedinto exchanging information.

“The scam allegedly involved SASSA cli-ents being called by individuals claiming tobe representatives of the provincial depart-ment or SASSA, asking them to “validate”their personal information, including thedigits on their SASSA cards,” said Fritz.

Both women however did not remembergetting such phone calls.

The department had earlier revealed thatlast year the provincial department receivedand dealt with 235 cases of irregular deduc-tions from pensioner’s accounts.

Don’t touch me on my dreadsPHARIE SEFALI

Anelisa Sonjola from Khayelitsha says thatlast week she was mugged. And robbed ofher dreadlocks!

“I was walking to my place in Makhaza atabout 8pm. Three men approached me andasked for R2.

“I said I do not have it. Another guy whowas behind me commented on my hair say-ing that it lookedbeautiful and that it is long.I smiled and said thank you. They left andchanged their direction,” says Sonjola.

Then a shortwhile later, she says, themencame back. One of them held her by her hairand tripped her so that she landed on theground. “Before I could even screamanotherguy hit me on my face with his fist and I be-

cameweak. I was scared. I didn’t knowwhatthey wanted. I offeredmymoney, phone andthe things I was carrying which they took,”Sonjola says. “The third guy had a scissors.I was confused. I thought they were going tokill me using the scissors. I was so shockedwhen they started cutting my hair.”

She says that theway they cut her hair feltas if they were cutting down a tree, and itwas very painful.

LizoMaseko is a hairstylist in Nyanga. Hesays having dreadlocks robbed in the town-ships is common because criminals seedreads as a way of getting easy money.

“People come to my salon carrying plasticbag full of dreadlocks, selling them. Theprice depends on how clean, healthy andlong they are. The most expensive dreads Ibought from a personwere R3,400. I don’t re-ally ask where they get them from,” saysMaseko.

Aman known as Ace fromHarare, Khaye-litsha, claims that he used to rob people oftheir dreadlocks. He says that it’s easy, andthat he targeted people late at night especial-ly on weekends when people were drunk.

According to Alijah Sobuko who is a Ras-tafarian, it is not easy to rob a Rastafarianof their dreads because the criminals as-sume that the Rastafarian dreads are holyand some believe they have umuthi (tradi-tional herbs) locked in the dreads. Neverthe-less he says he knows a Rastafarian whosedreads were stolen.

Jeff who owns a salon in Mowbray saysthat people who have dreadlocks should beon alert at all times especially during the fes-tive season, because dreads are a fashiontrend. “Criminals need money and dreadsare sold at a very expensive price,” hesays.-GroundUUp

Restore unity and hopebrought by Freedom CharterThe Freedom Charter is a statement ofcore principles coming from the idea of astate that is based on the will of thepeople.It is a wise U-turn by the ANC to

reclaim the Freedom Charter as abarometer to measure what has gonewrong since the dawn of our liberation.We need committed leaders to imple-

ment the Freedom Charter at all cost. Itwill make a difference to the quality ofpeople’s lives and prospects.Our councillors have to balance the

needs and interests of the people theyserve.The new order was supposed to be

based on the will of the people, yet fruitsellers on pavements are still being

harassed by the police.The Freedom Charter tells us that our

country will never be prosperous or freeuntil all our people live in brotherhood,enjoying equal rights and opportunities.As long as there are millions of unem-

ployed, homeless people without electrici-ty or running water, the liberation isincomplete. We’re still fighting forfreedom.The unity that prevailed during the

adoption of the Freedom Charter needs tobe restored.It’s good that the ANC has reverted to

the charter.PINKY LUHLABA

Be positive about our landThis is a beautiful country and themajority of South Africans have ubuntu.Our country’s landscape attracts people

from all walks of life and many end upsettling in our country. We have goodstories to tell about all good things thatare happening in our country on a dailybasis. Yes, we have bad stories too, andthe media sell their wares by focusing onthe bad stories. Many opinion-makersincluding musicians, political analystsand politicians also focus on negativesrather than positives. This year, 2015,should be a year of hope when all of us

must project positives more than nega-tives. We need to change the way we seeand do things. We should take all the badthings that have happened as lessons.All those in leadership positions in

their respective fields should preach andpractise positive things this year. We canonly turn things around when we attractpositive things and repel negative ones,for the sake of our country and thefuture. We must stop hating our countryand lead healthy lives.

Lower pass rates a concernThere has been a decline in the pass rateof matriculants due to the attitude ofpupils. Some arrive late for school andothers stay away without permission.A decision should be made in June

each year, when the preliminary exam iswritten. Matrics who fail this examshould not be allowed to write the finalexam.Go to any public library in the city and

you’ll see it filled with children wantingto achieve their goals. We need morelibraries in rural areas.Preparation for the final matric exam

should start in grade 11, leaving the finalyear in grade 12 for revision.Attend extra lessons every Saturday

morning, where you can be monitoredand assisted if you have problems.

Peoples gym fight the bulgeZILA MKONTO

Two fitness fanatics have given up theirtime and expertise to help Khayelitsha resi-dents beat the bulge and stay healthy.Every afternoon during the week profes-

sional boxer Ncedisile ‘Jones’ Kafile and ka-ratekaThaboMakgatho assemble a “peoplesgym” outside the Look Out Hill in SpineRoad giving exercises to anyone willing tobe tormented.“We started this in June last yearwhenwe

saw people training randomly on their ownwithout any help,” said Ncedisile.Thabo said it was people’s dedication that

drove them to “want to help”.“Myself and Ncedile we noticed that these

peoplewere coming to exercise everydaybutthey had no method or mentoring so wegrouped them and we are doing the samething now,” said Thabo.After training sessions which include a

few kilo metre run, muscular and cardio ex-ercises, the duo share tipswith grouponvar-ious subject ranging from the diet and otherrelevant lifestyle matters.“Many people say they want lose weight

or get in shape as a New Year’s resolutionbut they keep repeating the samemistakes,”Ncedisile.

Every year thousands of people start aquest to be more active on January 1 and afew months later, the majority of them stop.Thabo said a few simple steps can keep

people in the routine longer, hopefully mak-ing exercise part of someone’s routine.“Peoplemust learn to set aside time for ex-

ercise. If theywant tomake exercise apriori-ty, they have to stop doing something else,”he said.He said advantages of “group training”

were that people encouraged each otherwhen they lacked commitment.“When doing it alone, you cannot moti-

vate yourself but you will keep a commit-

ment to someone else that you won’t keep toyourself,” said Ncedisile.One of the trainees taking in the gym is

Netsai Kwanisayi is upbeat.“I am doing this for health reasons and I

am already seeing the difference it makes tome,” said Netsai.Everyday she drags her 14 year old niece

Liberty Chibanda to the session.Liberty is also very excited by the tips and

advice he receives from the two coaches.“This keeps me fresh at school,”he en-

thused.Formore information on training tips call

07324060034 or 0721277356.

CITY VISIONThursday, 15 January 2015 SPORT 15Langa: Games set to grow

Youth bowled over by crickfestVOOX SONANDZI

As the Boxing Day Test matches dominatedheadlines around the world, the communityof Langa also enjoyed its December cricketfestival.

The ‘crickfest’ as Langa Cricket Club(LCC) officials call it was a huge success.

The event attracted more than 60 childrenwho came for coaching clinics and a rare op-portunity of rubbing shoulders with cricketstars like Thami Tsolekile Siya Simetu, Mal-usi Siboto all of whom were born in Langa.

LCC official Lungile Tsolekile said theevent was originally started in 2013 but dueto interest shown the public they have decid-ed to make it “annual event”.

“We decided to make a whole day event in-volving kids who would be coached by theplayers they often see on TV rather than inthe club. On the same breath we are tryingto get the community and parents involvedin the club and recruiting members,” saidLungile.

The highlight of the event was having chil-dren arriving early in the morning to takepart, and having to take part in the clinic andactually ending up hanging around thewhole day.

“This gives a view that kids are willingand want to participate. We need to have ini-tiatives to make our stadiums attractive forboth children and parents,” he said.

Meanwhile the general manager of West-ern Province Cricket Association (WPCA) ,Nabiel Dien also hailed “crickfest as a re-sounding success.”

“The launch of the Newlands Cricket HighSchool and the Langa Cricket Festival areset to accelerate the production of blackplayers at franchise and national level andrevive the game in the township that pro-

Competitive cyclists from South Africa’stwo biggest townships have been given theopportunity to showcase their talent and po-tential on the national cycling stage thanksto the support of Rand Water, the new head-line and title sponsor of the Velokhaya Na-tional Competitive Programme.A long-time supporter of cycling, Rand

Water’s partnership with the VelokhayaLife Cycling Academy will provide deserv-ing cyclists from Soweto and Khayelitshawith a much-needed platform to developtheir cycling talent, compete against thebestcyclists in the country and improve theirlives through the sport of cycling.According to Velokhaya General Manag-

er, SiphoMona, “Velokhayahasalreadypro-duced a number of top road cyclists, includ-ing Team Bonitas Captain, Luthando Kakaand TeamMTNQhubeka’s Songezo Jim and

Nicholas Dlamini.These riders have not only made their

mark on both the local and international cy-cling stage, but have inspired many town-ship youth to participate and excel in thesport.“Thanks to the Rand Water sponsorship,

the Velokhaya Competitive Team will nowbe able to build on its successes of 2014,which included gaining a number of podiumplaces in provincial events, a win in theWestern Province Time Trial Champion-ships as well as competing in the MzansiTour, SouthAfrica’s only international roadrace.”Mona said Velokhaya was “delighted that

Rand Water has recognised the many yearsof work and commitment put in by both theVelokhaya team and its management.“It’s an honour to welcome RandWater as

one of Velokhaya’s main partners for 2015,”he said.

Heavies action tellyThe heavyweight division could be about toawake from its protracted slumber.This weekend two of the division’s most

exciting fighters battle it out for the WBCheavyweight crown in a fight that has divid-ed fans and media.Big-hitting American DeontayWilder – 32

knockouts in 32 fights – faces Haiti’s Berma-ne Stiverne for Stiverne’s WBC belt. The ac-tion will be broadcast live from Las Vegason SuperSport 7, starting at 4am on Sunday.Wilder is attempting to become the first

American since Shannon Briggs in 2006 tohold a version of the heavyweight crown.TheKlitschkobrothershaveenjoyedavirtu-al monopoly on the championship for thepast decade, but Vitali’s retirement hasopened up the scene and generated fresh in-

terest in the division.Wilder, a former Olympian, is arguably

the most athletic boxer in the heavyweightdivision and he packs a ferocious punch too,having never gone the distance in his seven-year pro career.But it is also true that he has never faced

a true top-10 contender, certainly no-one asrugged or as accomplished as Stiverne.Names like Malik Scott, Audley Harrisonand Kelvin Price don’t stack up, althoughthere’s no doubt that Wilder has taken les-sons from every contest.What is undeniable is the power in his

right hand.He’s able to stop fighters with a single

punch, making him one of the most danger-ous contenders around.
