‘‘UUSSAA iiss aa ddrreeaamm aawwaayy’’MANDLA MAHASHE

Esethu Giyose, a young dancer is onestep closer to seeing her dream of per-forming on the international stage

come true. Lack of funds notwithstanding.Giyose, from Hazeldean, is one of a hand-

ful of performers to be discovered by Ameri-can talent scout Kim Myers.She and the others now have the chance

to showcase their talents inNewYork, in theUSA.Giyose was selected in September last

year after outshining her competitors in atalent show in Pretoria last year.She paved her own way when she outdid

herself in a local talent show in Langa. Shewas due to showcase her contemporarydance in New York in July this year but thematric learner has opted to finish her stud-ies first and then leave for the limelight nextyear.The Gardens Commercial School learner

said that she also needed to raise funds forthe trip. She needs around R 70 000 to makethe trip and has started approaching pro-spective sponsors.“I’m very excited about going to the USA

and getting a chance to showcase my talentsin front of other scouts and dance compa-nies.I have to focus on my matric but will con-

tinue dancing for my organisation, Dancefor All,” she said.Giyose said what started as a hobby at age

seven could never have prepared her for theattention she is now receiving, after thedance bug bit.She aspires to be a professional dancer

and is hoping to study dance at universitynext year.“I’mhoping to studydance and theatre but

I do hope that I will get noticed in Americaby one of the dance companies.I’m still not sure where I will get the funds

for the trip. I’m planning a few fund-raisingevents but I reallyneed tobe there,” she said.Giyose said the call that announcedher se-

lection is one of the highlights of her bud-ding dance career.“After we finished performing, they told

us that we can go to our rooms and that we

would receive a call if we made it.Hermother, Phathiswa, said: “We thought

it was just a hobby but as time went by wesaw that she was quite serious about danc-ing. I have seen her perform in front ofcrowds and I am confident that shewon’t getstage front oversees,” she said. Giyose canbe contacted: [email protected]

Plato saves NYyouth centreMANDLA MAHASHE

Sleepless nights and uncertaintyabout the future will be a thing ofthe past the creative collective

called Nyanga Yethu; their much belovedinitiative will not be closing down.The youth of Nyanga and surrounding

areas can now sleep easy after the MECfor Community Safety Dan Plato ad-dressed their concerns regarding theyouth initiative.Nyanga Yethu is a youth development

project that offers a space for young peo-ple to perform music, art and theatre.They also run youth centred crime pre-vention projects to also fight the scourgeof gangsterism. It is run from the ZolaniCentre in Nyanga East.There have been talks of the pro-

gramme being cancelled after Safety Lab-the organisation that ran the project-broke off all relations with Nyanga Ye-thu.Nyanga Yethu was left in the lurch as

a result, and its affairs were run by an adhoc committee consisting of local youthsuntil the questions around its closurewere cleared.On Friday, Plato assured the young-

sters by telling them to “cast their wor-ries aside as the initiative will continue.“I was approached by the young people

that run this initiative. They came to myoffice and they told me that they wereworried that the programme would be

shut down.I was surprised by this as I was very

much aware of this project and the workit does in this community,” said Plato.Plato said that he engagedwith the con-

cerned group and reassured them thatclosure was not an option.“I want to also reassure you today that

Nyanga Yethu will not be shutting down.In fact we need an even bigger space asthis is clearly two small for this crowd.Weareworking on this project branchingout to Browns Farm so there is a futureforNyangaYethu,” he said to cheers fromthe youth.He also told them to use facilities like

Nyanga Yethu to improve their lot. Platoadded that his department was lookingfor young people who wanted to study atFET colleges.“We have a very good relationshipwith

all the FET collages in the province andlast year we enrolled about 300 learners.”Chairman of the committee, Zukile

Ntentema, said that he was very happythat governmentwas finally putting trustin locals to run such programs.“Very often it is outsiders who are

tasked by the government to run suchprogrammes in our townships. They donot have faith in locals especially youngpeople. I believe that this is one of the rea-sons that youths turn to crime,” he said.It is believed thatmore than a thousand

young people take part in the pro-grammes between Thursday and Friday.

Disabled disempowered by fireNontuthuzelo Protective Workshop centrein Gugulethu is a training hub for the disa-bled people to work in factories.The centre has 41 members and it used to

run a variety of programmes such as hand-craft, sewing, woodwork and recycling.However, much of the programmes have

been halted due to lack of equipment.The centre’s Nomonde Mthakathi said

their problems started in 2008 after a myste-rious fire destroyed their workshop.“Nowwe only do plastic recycling in part-

nershipwithHangerman – a company basedin Retreat.“We lost everything in that fire and now

we are forced to share a tiny space for office,kitchen, workshop, canteen and sickroom,”she said.“We desperately need help. We need sew-

ing and woodwork machines and a new plot

where we can build a new place to operate.“This project started in 1979 and it is very

important to us because we want to ensurethat future generationswhoaredisabled canalso be empowered.“There is a great necessity for centres of

this nature to continue in our areas and pre-vent the abuse and discrimination againsthandicapped people in their homes.“The skills they learn here will also help

these men and women to access the job mar-ket or even to start their own businesses.”Nomonde added that basic education pro-

grammes are also on top of their list.The centre is subsidised by the social de-

velopment department and get stipendsfrom Hangerman, but this is not enough.One of themembers, LulamaNyamza (53),

said the centre had changed all their livesfor the better.

Gospel muso in CrossroadsMANDLA MAHASHE

Worshippers can expect a spiritual re-vival this weekend as promised bygospel star M-Siya who will be per-

forming at the Ebenezer Gospel Show on Sa-tuday 5 March.

The show will hosted by Sebe Events at theOld Crossroads Library Hall and will featureworshippers in song the likes of XolisaKwinana, EBMQ, Pastor Mfundo Tywakuand Lufefe Mdladlamba.

Siyabulela Maawu, better known as M-Si-ya, whose 2015 hit single Amanxeba cata-pulted him to the top of the industry, sayshe wants the event to be a reawakening ofthe spirit of believers.

“Many people have not had the best start

to the year. People have been retrenched,some did not manage to pass matric andhave faced other difficult situations. Wewould like them to leave rejuvenated whenthey step out because we know how toughthings can be,” he said.

He said that they also want to use the eventto thank God for the blessings and thestrength he has given many of his followersincluding him.

“You know many people have tried thingsand they have failed. I too have not managedto make the successes that I had planned.

Last year my song Amanxeba was nomi-nated Crown Gospel Awards Song of theyear but I didn’t win. I did not despair orquestion my ability.

This is the result of the strength given by

God and many people have gone throughthe same situation,” testified M-Siya.

The singer promised his ever enthrallingperformance for his fans.

“You know a lot of people do not knowthat I am also a pastor, a man of worship,they know me as the gospel singer that doesthe Nae Nae on stage. On the day I willbring a strong worship which willstrengthen the belief of my fellow worship-pers,’” said M-Siya.

He told City Vision that his 2015 albumAmanxeba was doing well and he will notbe releasing a new album this year but willat a later stage release a DVD of the album.

He thanked his Cape Town based fanssaying that it was them that managed tomake his single popular.

The people here received me warmly andit was because of their buzz that it managedto be a popular song across the country.

The show will begin at 14:00 and ticketsare available at Computicket for R100.

She bemoaned Buhlungu’s death, sayinghe left too soon.

“If I had known bumping into you the oth-er day was our last encounter, I would’vegiven you the biggest hug and tell you howmuch I appreciated your presence in mylife. You’ve been nothing but a great friend,a strong father and a great son to your par-ents. Your impeccable work ethic, drive, laughter, crazy jokes, warmth and your

bubbly persona is what I’ll always remem-ber you for,” she added.

Siya Qaku also said life will will neverbe the same again.

“For the sake of him to rest in peace wehave to let him go, this entire earth wasnever made eternal for any human kind butwe have our home which is eternity andthat is heaven.

Hout Bay Gospel singer Thandi Konana prayed before she performed in Nyanga.FOTO: MANDLA MNYAKAMA

Singer prays before praiseThandi Konana said she uses her musicto encourage people to worship God.“It’s important that as artists we use

our platform to convey a specialmessageto the nation. To me, singing is not justabout entertainment,” she said.Thandi Konana, 37, lives in Hout Bay

, but plies her singing prowess in Nyan-ga.We caught up with her during one of

her shows near the terminus.She said she started as abackingvocal-

ist for gospel singerMkhululiNdude twoyears ago. Last year she recorded the al-bum Khangelan with Ndude and Linge-lethu Music Production.Her 10 songs includeSizokhonzauJesu

Ophilayo and Siyabonga. The upbeattracks are dominated by a pulsating bass

guitar and flowing keyboard rhythms,all complemented by the singer’s touch-ing and soulful vocals. Thandi said shegrewup inTsolo in theEasternCape andadmired gospel singers Andile KaMajo-la, Hlengiwe Mhlaba and Sipho Makha-bane. She attended the Ebenezer Apos-tolic Church in Zion and was brought upby her late gogo, Khuthazwa Konana.“I am a strong believer in God and I

use my music to praise Him and spreadhis healing message.What is unique aboutmy performance

is that I start by praying. This gets myfans to absorb and understand my mes-sage.“Everyone is responsible for spread-

ing God’s grace in different art forms,”Thandi said.

Write to usAre we prepared, as a nation,to beat the looming recessionWhen South Africa was going through arecession a few years ago, I neverunderstood or felt the pinch. To me itwas all good.Then I didn’t have a house or car

repayments. And I never had any respon-sibilities. The World Bank has warnedthat South Africa’s economy is at the riskof falling into a recession. The bank hasalso released a report revising ourgrowth forecast to just 0,8% for this year.The International Monetary Fund fore-cast our growth to 0,7%. After all of thisdowngrading and forecasts, some peoplestill say we are safe from recession.How long are we going to be at the

edge of a recession? Will South Africabounce back despite the pressure fromthe global slowdown? Is it only govern-ment’s responsibility to fight this eco-

nomic crisis? I have personally decided tobe the CEO of my own finances, to be themanager of my expenditure.It is time for all South Africans to start

taking action and taking charge of theirfinances. We don’t have to act whenrecession hits. We should act now bystarting to record all the expenses andcreate budgets, which will help us decideon priorities.It is time to have different saving and

investment plans for different goals andto be disciplined. We can only start doingso by cutting unnecessary expenditurelike using one car if going the samedirection, avoiding takeaways, andcutting down on clothing accounts andother debt.

Our education shouldbe about how to thinkIt appears that our pupils who excel atacademic level, nevertheless struggle tosolve life problems posed by real lifesituations.This observation is brought to true life

as they enter tertiary institutions wherereal life problems are no longer a theory.Perhaps this needs us to scrutinize and

find the distinction between teachers andeducators as well as the roles theyperform.It’s possible that everyone can teach,

but not everyone can educate. Havingstudents that know the subject but fail toapply it in real life situations is notsomething to be proud of. Lack of skillsto relate to general fields of study or lifeproblems could be the main cause of thehigh suicide rate among our students.A student comes from township and

suddenly finds himself smack-bang in the

midle of a multi-racial-cultural environ-ment, may find the situation intimidat-ing, to say the least; couple this with theever attendant challenges posed bytertiary life.The basis of this can be traced from

the type of teachers that we have at ourschools, people who teach syllabus relatedsubjects [syllabus teachers] which arefar-fetched from the reality of theirworld.Take Life Orientation subject as an

example. It should command morerespect than mathematics, but has beenrelegated to a lesson on sex relatedissues. We need to be critical about suchissues. The education that we haveshould teach us how to think rather thanwhat to think as Socrates once said.

Taxi owners must supportThe taxi industry is the most successfulblack-run business sector in South Africa.Most taxi bosses have a large fleet of

minibuses at their disposal and employhundreds of drivers.The taxi business is a vital part of

township life.Because of this, I believe it has an

important part to play in fighting the tikor drug scourge.Society always complains about drug

addiction among the youth.But some of us, especially taxi drivers,

are the ones who give money to addictsto satisfy their drug craving.Our unemployed youth stand on street

corners around townships, some beingused as touts for passenegers. For this,the drivers pay them a small fee.It is a well-known fact that most of

these young people, use this money to

buy drugs. Why are we allowing this tohappen? Feeding schemes are a great wayof helping the poor.Non-profit organisations cook meals

and donate and deliver them to those inneed.Other NPOs give food parcels to the

less fortunate.Beneficiaries include the youth, some

of whom are drug addicts.These young drug-users take the food

parcels and sell them to buy drugs.Society has no moral right to complain

about addicts when it is helping to feedthis habit.Taxi associations and charities must

rethink the way they do business. Theyhave an important role to play in helpingto create a drug-free Mzansi.

Wake up and elect leaders who are honestIt is unfortunate that communities mustresort to protest in order to get theattention they deserve.Councillors campaign for votes and

disappear after elections. They don’t fulfileven half of the promises they make.They ignore those they are meant toserve and never have time to listen togrievances.

South Africans, it is time to wake up.Look at your kasi and ask yourself if anyimprovements have been made there.History will judge you when your

children have no drinking water, electric-ity or roads.It’s not too late to make a change.

MONGEZI LUBALOKuyasa

People, life has its challengesWe sometimes fail in life and that’s partof growing up.But the mistake we make is that we

tend to give up on our dreams.We even throw away all the hard work

we have already done.Maybe you were starting a business

and it failed, but that doesn’t mean youshould give up. Perhaps you were afirst-year student at university and youfailed some modules, but it doesn’t meanyou should throw in the towel.Maybe you were trying to help a friend

or a family member and things didn’t goaccording to plan–it’s also not the end ofthe world.You’re probably thinking of burning

that business plan or those pictures of a

failed relationship, but it’s not worth it.Pick yourself up and try again, but this

time you should aim higher.Les Brown wrote: “Shoot for the moon.

Even if you miss, you’ll land among thestars.”Don’t be ashamed to ask questions if

you don’t understand. Continue workingon your goals. You shouldn’t give up.Failure is not the end of the world butthe first step towards greatness.Sometimes you feel as if you don’t have

the energy to try any more or you thinkyou’re not smart enough to make yourdreams come true, but I think you arewrong. People, life is worth living.

Elect leaders you knowOur country is approaching one of itsmost important elections ever.I personally see the municipal

elections as the most importantelections. For the problems andchallenges we are faced with daily,begin within our communities.And they are too important to me

because I don’t stay all over thecountry, but I stay within my commu-nity.And I strongly believe that empow-

ered communities means empoweredcountry. People shouldn’t underesti-mate municipal elections, for these caneither develop or destroy our commu-nities.Different communities experience

different challenges. However, unem-ployment is a common problem inevery community. Unemploymentlevels are high among the youth. Theyouth is the future. And it will alwaysbe a fact. So if the youth is mostlyaffected, then the country has nofuture.As a leader of a community youth

organisation, I take youth communityissues very seriously. I know andunderstand what our youth are facedwith daily.Many of them already lose hope

while in high school. For they seetheir siblings sitting at home beingunemployed, despite all efforts theymade to attain their matric, hoping fora better life. So if they witness thosewho walked the road before them

being unemployed and helpless, theyalso lose hope.With the municipal elections ap-

proaching, we will witness differentpolitical parties visiting communitiesas if they care about the difficultiesfaced by communities. But we knowall they care about is securing votes. Iurge political parties to try to promoteand represent the best interest ofpeople during this elections. For many,mere promises will now be made,officials will be attending communitygatherings, listening to the complaintsand needs of the community. Onceelections over, they visit us no more.Many times even candidates that are

brought forth are more active in theirparties, than in community issues. Iurge political parties identify peoplewho are already engaged with theircommunities for such positions. For ifwe alected someone who is known tothe community, they will definitelymake a huge difference.To this person it will not only be a

job, but it will be a commitment. Weneed determined and innovativecommunity leaders.Such leaders will bring initiatives

that will combart unemployment andempower our youth. And when theyouth is empowered, the community isprogressing, and a progressive commu-nity will give birth to a prosperouscountry.

ERIC SHIKOBELAvia email

Choose your leaders wiselyI would like to urge all the people toregister to vote this Saturday and Sun-day.This call goes out especiall to people

from ward 92 because a lot is at stake forthem beforere and after the elections. Theregistration stations are open 08:00am-17:00 pm. It’s crucial to register tovote even if you have not decided whichparty to vote for as yet.

Registration has it’s own benefits. Ibelieve that each of us knows whichperson to vote for in our communities.This person must have the characteris-

tics and determination to bringingdevelopment in their area. This should beirrespective of the political party thatperson belongs to.

STEPHEN SIVUYILEPhakamisa

Don’ t be discouragedIn life there are great and bad things thathappen daily. After any event, there is alesson to be learnt.Even though there are people who do

extraordinary things that need apprecia-tion, there will always be negative peoplewho always criticise.Criticism is the easiest thing to do.

Doing the right thing is often a difficulttask. Never allow negative minds todemoralise you from setting your goals inlife. Take negative criticism with yourhead held up high.People will find loopholes in every-

thing that others do, no matter how goodyou are. When people wish for yourdownfall, just keep rising high. Neverbother yourself with negative views.

BUKELWA DOHONyanga

I’d like to commend all the companiesand organisations that have alreadytaken a step to train and develop theirworkers.Equipping workers with skills and

knowledge makes employees feel appreci-ated and recognised as others will standa good chance of being promoted withinthe organisation.When companies’ production improves

our economy will also grow.I wish all companies could motivate

their workers through training anddevelopment as this will also make themfeel valued. Workers play an importantrole in the success of a company, so theyneed to be valued all the time.

Interest rates increase should be a lesson to the over-indebtedThere are many concerns over govern-ment’s plans to increase interest rates thisyear . . .Raising the interest rate always hits those

in debt the hardest.Eunice Sibiya, the head of Consumer Edu-

cation at FNB, said that if you feel like pan-icking when you think of the amount of debtyou have and that you just aren’t making itmonth to month, take action now.She warned that things are only going to

get tougher before they get better.She gave a few pointers to help you see if

your debt is getting out of control.“There are a few signs and financial be-

haviours that indicate that your financesare in trouble or that you are headed in thatdirection.“If you need to take out a new loan to pay

off old credit, then you have a clear sign thatyour finances definitely need help.“If you find yourself missing out some of

your debt repayments because you can onlyafford to pay some of them and not all, thenyou are in trouble,” she said.Eunice added that if you’re using credit to

finance a lifestyle you can’t afford, you are

sadly way in over your head.Eunice said the first step is to recognise

and admit that you have a debt problem andcommit to sorting your finances out. Thencut up those store cards and stop spendingon credit.She also gave a few tips that serve as a

good strategy to start onyour journeyof debtrecovery., Draw up a list of your debts and decide

which is the most important to pay offMake a list of all your debts. Look for

what’smosturgent or expensive.Youshouldaim to get rid of debt with the highest inter-est rates first.This includes debt such as store accounts

and unsecured loans, such as credit cardsand personal loans.“The higher the interest rate, the more

money is wasted servicing the debt’s extraexpenses,” said Eunice., Draw up a budget and prioritise your

debtOnce you have a better understanding of

your debt and which is the most urgent, youcan now draw up a budget that allows youto prioritise your “debt crunchingmission”.

, Seek professional help if you can’t man-age debt on your own“If you are drowning in debt and are una-

ble to recover on your own, a debt reviewmaybe a solution. However it should be alast resort.“A debt counsellor will be assigned to you

and is responsible for all your finances.However, it still remains your responsibili-ty to keep tabs on the progress you make inclearing your debt.“Take note that people under debt review

are not allowed to take on any extra debt oruse credit cards, and need to stick to a verystrict repayment process,” said Eunice.

An indebted man scratches his head.

Sports academy is top of the lotKhayelitsha’s CONNECT

Sports Academy was namedBest Development Pro-

gramme at the prestigious Discov-ery SA Sport Industry Awards onThursday last week.The academybeat off stiff compe-

tition from huge industry namessuch as the World Coaches pro-gramme, the Nashua Art of FastBowling, Vuka Rugby, SuperSportLet’s Play and the Sports Trust.Four members of the academy

flew to Johannesburg where theyreceived their award fromHashimAmla and Lucas Radebe during astar-studded ceremonyat theSand-ton Convention Centre.But the academy nearly missed

their moment of glory. Part of theentry criteriawas to submit ahard-copy of a video about the organisa-tion. With limited resources andfunding and just two days to go be-fore the deadline, the academyturned to Twitter to see whetheranyone could courier the all-im-portant flashdrive fromCapeTownto Johannesburg. A perfect socialmedia stranger offered to take upthe task and delivered the videowith just a few hours to spare, un-derscoring what the academy is allabout: connecting people with re-sources and opportunities.Despite not having the financial

clout or extensive reach of otherprogrammes yet, CONNECT wasrecognised by the judges for its ab-solute hands-on and holistic ap-proach to the development of un-derprivileged young people andtheir families.The award brings a financial

boost of R50 000 for the academyfrom award sponsors Vodacom,plus anadditional contribution aft-er host Dan Nicholl’s impassionedappeal to esteemed guests in the

room.Vodacom has kept the SMS line

open and those who would like todo so can still donate until the endof February by SMSing DSIA to42482 to give R30 to the academy.“We are excited to be associated

with the Discovery Sport IndustryAwards which recognises excel-lence across the entire business ofsport,” Vodacom Brand DirectorMosidi Seretlo said.“Vodacom has been involved in

numerous development initiativesover the years and we hope ourcontribution to the category wouldfurther add to the cause.”“The “Sport Development Pro-

gramme of the Year” category is agreat chance for the Awards to cel-ebrate everything that’s goodabout the social responsibility sideof the business of sport. HavingVo-dacom on board this year as a part-nermeant thatwewere able to con-tribute more actively towardsbuilding the future of sports in thiscountry,” says Claire Earley,spokesperson for the awards.CONNECT began on a small

scale in 2014 with just a handful ofchildren playing touch rugby withassistance for boxing and chess al-so provided. It has blossomed intoa fully-fledged contact academy of-fering young people fromKhayelit-

sha (aged 7 to 18) the opportunityto play regular, competitive fix-tures for clubs such as Hamilton’s,the oldest club in South Africa.The academy ensures that all

players’ needs are taken care of. Ithas a dedicated nutritional pro-gramme and also offers tutoringsupport to ensure performance inthe classroom is as on point as per-formance on the field. It also en-sures players are transported andhave thekit required toplay rugby.“CONNECT is all about access to

resources, especially the resourcesmost of us take for granted. We fo-cus on long-term sustainabilityandwhile ourmaingoal is to create

aplatform thatwill produceprofes-sional rugby players, we also en-courage our youngsters to pursueother careers in sport such ascoaching and refereeing,” saysMurray Ingram, director of CON-NECT.Boxing and chess remain impor-

tant satellite parts of the academyand while CONNECT dreams ofbranching out into other sports,consolidating its current talentwhile overcoming various day-to-day challenges remain top of thelist.“It’s a huge honour for us to be

awarded in thisway, butwe cannotlose sight of our current obstacles.Transport remains one of the big-gest issues as travelling the 40 kilo-metres between Khayelitsha andCape Town is often difficult whenrelying on public transport. It is al-so dangerous for some of our kidswhen they start returning homeafter dark, particularly in the win-ter months.“Safety is at the top of our priori-

ty list when it comes to our playersand a 23-seater bus would com-pletely change the way we run ouroperation and make it much morestreamlined,” explains Ingram.Finding sponsorships for kit as

well as medical cover for the play-ers is also on CONNECT’s wish listand the academy hopes that theaward will give them the spring-board to make these connectionsand secure these deals.The SA Sports Industry has in-

vited the academy back to tell theirstory throughavideoatnext year’sawards and CONNECT can’t waitto show them how much can bedone when a few dedicated peopleare willing to roll up their sleevesand work towards a better andmore inclusive South Africa.

Cycling club launched in garageTHEMBELA NTONGANA

Two Khayelitsha cycling enthusiastshave transformed a home garage intothe area’s newest cycling club for

young adults.“We grew up riding bicycles and we felt

that there was a gap which clubs aroundKhayelitsha did not cover,” says 23-year-oldco-founder Lubabalo Bongweni.

He started the club, known as Bonga.orgCycling Academy, with 24-year-old BongaNqobane in October 2015. Membership isfree and is open to boys and girls from 16 to26.

“We wanted to give other children that op-portunity. Not all kids are interested in soc-cer and other popular sports, and becausethere are not a lot of choices, they end upnot doing any sport,” says Bongweni.

Due to lack of funding, the club operatesfrom his parents’ garage. The pair are alsoinvolved in the Inter-Schools programme, inwhich schools compete against each other invarious sports. They currently work with 90learners at six different schools.

They also train 10 other cyclists.“We would love to get more schools in-

volved. We want to work with other schoolsaround Khayelitsha and make this a bigcompetition,” says Nqobane. He says hewould also like to expand the project to theEastern Cape where children have to walkfar to school.

The cyclists train for two hours in theweek and four hours over weekends onroutes around Khayelitsha.

On Mondays they meet at the garage forlife skill classes and career guidance.

The club only has ten bicycles, two ofwhich are mountain bicycles.

Members who have their own bikes are en-couraged to bring them and the club alsohires additional bicycles for members whotake part in competitions.

“We do get children who do not own a bicy-cle and cannot afford to buy one.

That that is also one of the challenges thatwe face. We don’t have enough funds forthings like hiring and transport,” saysNqobane.

He says the pair plan to start a club for cy-clists younger than 12, provided there areenough people to monitor the younger chil-dren on the roads.

Ntandazo Koyo, 22, is one of the club’s firstmembers. Koyo has a Level 4 Certificate inboiler making, but his first love is cycling.

He came first in the 99er Cycling and MTBChallenge in Durbanville earlier this yearand also took part in the SA Champs in Dur-ban, though a puncture prevented him fromfinishing the race.- Ground Up
