TB patientswant moredoctors

>> They want doctors to visit them more frequentlyNOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]

SCARCITY of doctors, wrong diagnosesand fears that patientsmight be default-ing are the main concerns for the Tuber-

culosis (TB) patients in Doris Goodwin clinicnear Edendale Hospital.

According to a patient, who cannot benamed, the doctor only shows up in thewardsonce or twice in aweek. The same patient toldEcho that another concerningmatter is the re-sults of tests conducted on them.

“Afterwehavedonesometestsnooneboth-erstotellustheresults.Thepatient’ssistersaidone of her sister’s tests that she did were con-firmed as wrong at Edendale hospital.

“Theyhad taken someblood tests fromher.Thenurse thatwas helping in thewardhadnoclueofwhattheresultswere.Accordingmysis-ter, she toldher thatshewouldguess them.Shetold her that her liver was damaged.

“My sister went to Edendale hospital andthey toldher thatwasuntrue.That is verydan-gerous, those patients need intensive care andthey deserve to be checked up everyday.

“The hospital has only one doctor whocomes in once or twice aweek. We end up notknowing if they are getting anybetter orworsein there,” said the patient’s sister.

The patient said they areworried that theymight default.

“Most of us are still using the samemedica-tion which leaves us withmany questions. We

are asking ourselves if we are getting better orworse.

“Using the same medication for mothsclearlyrevealsthatoneisnotgettinganybetter.Thestagesarenotthesameandthemedicationisdifferent.Mostofushavebeenusingthesamemedication since we got in here,” said the pa-tient.

Echo has found out that the doctor come tothe wards on Monday and Friday. One of pa-tientsconfirmedthat lastweekthedoctorcameonMonday but not to all thewards and on Fri-day he did not come in at all.

Ithasbeenallegedsomeofthepatientshavedefaulted.

Umgungundlovu health district communi-cations officer Msawenkosi Mncwabe said thehospital has two doctors that cater for the pa-tients.

Hesaidonedoctorcaters for themulti-drugresistance(MDR)Tuberculosispatientsandtheother one is for anti-retroviral (ARV) initiation.

“The doctor visits the wards twice a weekwhich is Monday and Friday,” he said.

Mncwabe said the doctor starts workingfrom 7 am to 4 pm every Monday andFriday.

“According to our records none of our pa-tientshavediedasaresultofdefaulting.Ninetypercent of our patients die from renal failurenot from defaulting,” he said.

CITYmayorChrisNdlelahasissuedasternwarning toschoolswithoutstandingbal-ances on municipal services to either

make arrangements to pay, or face the risk ofhaving their services disconnected.

Theseservices includewater,sewerageandrefuse removals.

Addressing teachers fromEdendale circuitduringWorldTeachers’Daycelebrationsat theCity Royal hotel last week, Ndlela said: “Whilewe acknowledge the good efforts of ensuringteaching and learning despite unconducivework environments, we have a challenge ofschools who are owing so much for municipalservices.

“Schools have budgets known as “NormsandStandards”allocated forsuchservices,butsomedonotpay.Someschoolscomplainedthatthey were overcharged for water servicesmeanwhile there were faulty meters.

“Upon our investigations, we discoveredthat only two schools had a problem out of anumberof schools thathadcomplained.There

are somanyparameters that contribute to cor-ruption.

“Everyone must comply with the law, andif they donot pay,wewill disconnect services”.A teacher by training himself,

Ndlela furthersaidthat themunicipalityhasintroduced an indigent policy for those whocannot afford paying for its services, such aspensioners and child-headed households.

Ndlela saidwhile teachers are doing a ster-ling job, there is still much to be done towardsimproving the matric pass rate.

Municipal spokesperson Brian Zuma said:“The municipality has an obligation to collectrevenue for the services it provides.

All recipients of such services, includingschools, hospitals and government depart-ments have to pay for their provision.

“Some institutions and departments havecome forward to make arrangements to pay.Thosewhohave not, are running a risk of hav-ing their services discontinued”.

Asked about the number of schools andmoneyowed,hejustsaidthemayor’scommentmust be seen in the broader context.

I AM happy that in the new SouthAfrica all religions are respectedand they are accorded the same

sort of status.But unfortunately for us, that also

includes Satanism.Obviously,ifIwasapoliticalleader

of note I would have opposed any in-clination to legitimise Satanism be-causeIthinkit isdestructive,counter-productive and against nation-build-ing. If rational thinking is anythingto go by, I see no practical value indrinking human blood and the pro-motionofdrugaddiction,alcoholism,prostitution and all the anomies thatgo hand in hand with Satanism.

But that’s not what I am talkingabout right now. Today I wish to saythat I find it unfair and inconsequen-tial that our childrendonot have reli-

gious studies as an essential part ofthe school curriculum.

It nevertheless pleasesme to notethat our children still pray to God be-fore the classes start. It would not bevery surprising if that would bestopped too because in a democraticSouthAfrica theconstitutionprotectsandpromotesall religions.But Ihopethe fact that themajority of people inthis country are Christians will con-tinue to protect its right to be a domi-nant way of life or thinking.

What I am trying to say is that asfar as I am concerned it is not logicalthat a religion that was used, albeitnegatively, to bring modernity to theformerly colonised people shouldnow be treated equal to others be-cause, (Imaybewrong),mycommonsense observation tells me it is not!

I can’t say I enjoyed the way myteachersusedtodrumversesfromtheChristian Bible and expect us to re-member and recite these by heart.Thatwasquitetorturousandareasontohate theBible.But I respect the factthat, in theoldendays,haditnotbeenfor Christianity, many people wouldnothavehadaformaleducationorbeable to read and write.

IdoassociateChristianitywithen-lightenment, and it camewithahigh-er level of organisation in society,even thoughIdonotconsidercapital-ism tobe in linewithChristian valueslike sharing. It does not impress methat inacapitalistset-upwethrowor-anges away in the sea instead of dis-tributing them amongst the poor justso that we can keep the prices stableas theyare regulatedby the lawofde-

mandandsupply. Priceregulationorno price regulation, I personally donothaverespect fordumpinghealthyfood for fish in thewater as theymaynot even eat the oranges, when thereare somanypoormouths to feed. Butthat’s not what I am talking aboutthough.Whatdrivesmetowritetodayis thesheerconcernthatmydaughteris not getting exposed to the Word ofGod in class. It does not impress methat the only time she encounteredtheWord ofGodoutside of the formalchurch building was when she at-tended a church children’s camp. Iam grateful to those children’s campChristian organizers because todaymy daughter can say a meaningfulprayer and judging fromwhat I haveheardhersay inherownwordswhenshe prays at home, I am convinced

that she fully understands thatGod isour Heavenly Father who sees all ofus – children and grown up peoplealike – as His own children or crea-tures. But I would have loved her tolearn these things at school like wedid.As I said earlier,maybenot in thesame militaristic drill that we weresubjected toaschildren,butdo itnev-ertheless. Maybe bringing back reli-giousstudiesasacompulsorysubjectat school could evenhelp reduce inci-dents of demonic attacks that disturblearning if we go back to the good oldpractice of making children learnabout God and recite the name of theLord. I think this is good for them inpreparation for adult life when theywill recognise the glory of God as acreator, architect and timeless inter-penetrating reality that binds all.

ANC optimistic aboutNkonyeni’s appointment>> They thinik she was the best choice for the job


WHILE the ANC is optimisticabout the announcement ofthe new KZN Education

MECPeggyNkonyeni by newprovin-cial premier Senzo Mchunu, her ap-pointmenthascastdoubtsamongop-position parties.

Opposition say they believe thatshe has to double her efforts in orderto regain their confidence.

Nkonyeni’sappointmentonMon-day follows the movement of SenzoMchunu into Premiership.

Prior to her position as provin-cial legislature speaker, Nkonye-niwas theMEC forHealth in theprovince.

Speakingaboutherappoint-ment, DA KZN spokesperson forEducation, Tom Stokes said: “Theappointment of Nkonyeni as Kwa-Zulu-Natal’snextEduca-tionMECisonedriv-en by polit-

ical imperatives rather thaneducation imperatives.

“They have appointed an individ-ual who mal-administered the prov-ince’shealthportfolioduringher ten-ureasMEC.Shewasalso linkedtothemulti-million rand “Amigos” fraudand racketeering scandal”.

IFP’s spokesperson

for Education Mntomuhle Khawulasaid: “Nkonyeni comeswith her bag-gage, as MEC for Health four yearsago, she presided over a departmentthatwas fraughtwith corruption andpoor management.

“We hope that when she assumesoffice, she will close the bad chapterofpoormanagementandstartonnewslate. We cannot prejudge her, buttime will tell if she was the idealchoice for this very importantportfolio”. CongratulatingNkonyeni, ANC provincialsecretary, Sihle Zikalalasaid: “We welcome herappointment and wehave no doubts that shewill perform her tasksconscientiously. We areconfident that she will beable to carry on with thegood work that the de-partment has done”.

SouthAfricanDemocrat-icTeachers’UnionKZNsecre-tary Mbuyiseni Mathonsi haswelcomed Nkonyeni, but has saidshe came at a time when their pa-

tience as a union was

running out.National Teachers’ Union deputy

president Allen Thompson also haswelcomed the appointment and saidhedidnotthinkthattherewasabettercandidate.

Thompson said some of the chal-

lenges that Nkonyeni would face in-cluded the closing down of schools,non-paymentof a rural allowance forteachers,andcorruptionintheschoolfeeding system. “We’re supportingher, but if she wants to make thingsworse than they are now, we’re pre-pared to challenge her,” he added.

EducationHODDrNkosinathiSis-hi said that with the new appoint-ment, theyareconfident that theyaregoing to continuemoving up in as faras Annual National Assesments(ANA) National Senior Certificatesexaminations (NSC) andother pro-grammes of the department are

concerned.

It’s never toolate to study,so be prepared>> Matrics – How to still do well if you deserve an A forprocrastination

MANY thousands of matrics are starting towake up to the realisation that trouble loomslarge on the horizon because they have not

sufficiently prepared for their final exams.But although the temptation might be to just throwin the towel, there is still hope for achieving resultsyou can be proud of, an educational expert says.“Not everyone will approach their exam knowing

that they have done all they could to prepare overthe past 12 years, and this gives rise to tremendousanxiety,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of the Independent Institute of Education.But by changing your mindset and taking five important steps, your marks could still qualify you for entryinto a stimulating field and exciting career, she says.Students who have procrastinated until the bitter

end (and many highly intelligent young people fallinto this category) should immediately do the following (now, not tomorrow):1)Breathe, accept your situation, and resolve to do

all you can to rectify itAs with many problems, the first step required forchange is acknowledgment of the problem. “Be honest with yourself and face the fact that you have notyet done enough to do as well as you would haveliked. Then, resolve to throw all you have into makingthese last few weeks count. That means being ruthless about distractions, and studying like you havenever studied before. It is only a few weeks from yourlife, but they are a few weeks that could make a worldof difference to your future prospects.”2)Assess the damage

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

Forget “rest time”, party time and staying up to datewith “important” TV shows, Candy Crush or yourfriends and frenemies’ facebook updates. All yourtime should now be focused on your final exam,and only your final exam.“There will be plenty of time to play onceyou’re done – and then you’ll deserveit,” says Coughlan. “Allow yourself todraw up a detailed study rosterwhich includes time for a secondround of revision, if possible.But don’t spend all yourtime planning either!It’s time to get towork.”

4) Now stick to itOnce you’ve drawn up your study roster, you may realise that things are not as bleak as you imaginedthem to be, and that you still have adequate timeleft to study. But don’t be drawn into procrastinationagain, Coughlan warns.“Your roster is your lifeline now, and you should clingto it and make it work for you.”5)For best results, study using the PROVE method

>>Practise by writing past papers or example questions rather than just reading>>Refresh by making sure you are eating, sleepingand exercising enough (but beware of using theseactivities to procrastinate!)>>Organise yourself, your time and your work. Having a neat working environment and a clear plan forwhat you need to do and study every day, as wellas having the relevant materials sorted and on hand,will go a long way to reduce anxiety and optimiseyour learning.>>Visualise by using colour and mind maps and other strategies rather than just words, so that you canuse more of your brain, and>>Explain by answering questions or telling friendsor relatives about your work. It is not until you havetried to explain what you know that you can assessif you know enough to answer the questions.“It is possible that you have neglected your work to

such a degree that you could potentially no longerqualify for studying in the field that you wanted,”says Coughlan.“However, every effort you make now will ensure

your chances are improved, and that you could enteranother field that could prove equally if not moresatisfying, or that you could work your way back intoyour first choice of course by, for instance, first studying for a qualification that will give you entry intoyour field of dreams.“If you put in the work now you may very well find

that you still have fantastic options available to youwhen your results arrive, and you’ll be in a position

to make decisions aboutyour future knowing

that when it counted, you put in

your very besteffort and it

paid off.And even

if it is toolate tomakeyourPlan Awork

immediately,you stillhaveenoughtime to

give PlanB your best

shot.”–Supplied.

PEOPLE had to go back homes without gettinghelp at theDepartment of Labour office in Pier-maritzburg on Tuesday after workers downedtools complaining about maladministration.

Agroupofpeoplewhowerestandingoutsidethese offices told Echo that they had arrivedthere very early, hoping that they would be fin-ishedbytheendoftheday,butendedupwastingtheir time.

“Wewaited forhoursand thesadpart is thatno one from inside was prepared to give us aproper explanation. Some of us even borrowedmoney to come here, and it means we have to

borrow again,” said one of the people who didnot want to be identified.

According to some of the workers, lastmonth they submitted a memorandum to theprovincial office, demanding that an independ-ent investigation officer to be secured to probedeputy director Sindi Zungu on allegations ofmaladministration, cronyism, and worker in-timidation.

Zungu is furtheraccusedofdictatorshipandwantingtodisbandtheemployees’ tradeunion.

“Wewere told that only the provincialman-ager has the powers to intervene, and up untilnownothinghasbeendoneasshestillcontinuesto work. We will be on a ‘go slow’ strike untilour needs are met”, they said.

UMkhambathinimayorThobekileMaphu-mulo saidMthethwa’s visit was in response toa call thatwasmadebyPresident JacobZumathat they should go out to the people and hearwhatservicestheneedandthechallengestheyface within their communities.

InMaqongqothecommunityhashighlight-ed the problem of crime which is believed tobe caused by the presence of many taverns inthe area.

In his addressMthethwaassured the com-munity that their concerns will be prioritised.

“The issueof taverns isahugeconcern.Wehavedecidedthatwewillspeaktothem[tavernowners]and findout if these tavernsareregis-teredornot.Wehaveaproblemwiththosethatare registered, we are not sure if their operat-ing hours are guided by their liquor licenses.

“We have incidents of rape caused by thewhoonga drug. There are incidents of rapingof theelderly,womenandchildren.Theshoot-ing and the killings in the area will be lookedat as I have tasked theprovincial commission-er to do so.

“It’s scary how these things are happeningand we ask ourselves how exactly they hap-pen.Thismeans thatwehave todosomethingabout them. We need the community to worktogether with the police in fighting these inci-dents,” said Mthethwa.

Complaints about inept police in the areawere also raised by the dismayed communitymembers.

Maqongqo’s Stingini resident NjabuloSokhela said there is a lack of police visibilityin the area.

“Whenpolicearecalled to thecrimescenesthey take forever to come and attend to thecrime reported,” he said.

Ngobeni said they will do everything intheirpowertosortout theproblemsinBishop-stowe police station.

Manqoba Mngqithi has left Lamontville Golden

Arrows.

FOTO: GALLO IMAG-ES

IS it that crazy timeofSouthAfri-can soccer again or the recentcoaching victims were pushed?

The usual and the familiar merry-go-round of the coaches was wit-nessedagain this week in the PSL.

The formerMphophomeni Sec-ondary School teacher, ex- Maritz-burg’sMojaUnited coach (Safa2ndDivision)and theLamontvilleGold-enArrows,BrilliantManqobaMng-qithi left Abafana Bes’thende in ahuff after his team displayed aclassyperformanceagainstBidvestWitswhen theywon3-2 last Friday

night.Abafana Bes’thende came from

behind twice to beat the Milpark-based outfit during the TelkomKnockout Cup.

Then why jump ship so early intheseasonaftersuchabrilliantper-formance? This is the thorny ques-tion that has been asked endlesslyin the local football circles.

Also on Sunday morning, Blo-emfontein Celtic head coach andthe Wentworth-born ClintonLarsenresignedfromhisthreeyearposition after the 4-0 drubbing by

byMamelodiSundownsinthesamecompetition.

Mngqithi this week was onlypreparedtosay:“Ibelieveitwastheright time to leave”.

Mngqithi also refused to shedlight on the allegations currentlydoing the rounds that hewasaskedby club’s boss, Mato Madlala toleave after a string of poor results.

It is also believed in some quar-ters that Mngqithi was advised orpressurised to resign for insistingon fielding “unknown or up andcoming players” over the experi-

enced ones.Thewayhehasbeenquickly re-

placed by Mark Harrison fromChippa United has also raised eye-brows. It has been said the swift-ness of the move suggests the Dur-ban club had already had contin-gency plans before Mngqithi’swalkout.

Celtic’s management claimLarsen’s exit was unexpected andcaught them off-guard.

“Wewere not expecting it at all.We honestly thought everythingwas rosy and smooth,” said

Celtic’s CEO Khumbulani Khon-co.

Larsen’s assistant Boebie Solo-mons already has already takenover as a caretaker coach.

Khonco shot down suggestionsthat therewas tension between theformer Santos mentor and Larsen.

“Larsen has been with the clubfor three years andSolomons camein as his assistant a while ago andthey always worked as brothersand good partners.”–Jerry Barnes.

Councillor Adams’ legacy lives on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Adams knew that Coloureds

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Knockout last 16 clash with Amazayoni onTuesday evening.

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

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

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

TALKINGFOOTBALL

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

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

Football played a very importantroleduringthemostdifficultperiodinthe history of this country.

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

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

Mthembu of Swift Swallows.These guys andmany others kept

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

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

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

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

some of us feel deserted by formerfriends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

>>[email protected]

HAVING been taught how toplay soccer by his brother atthe age of seven years, he has

never lookedback.Before joiningtheteamlastyear,heplayedforFCSport-ing, Mubs FC, MDFA Pirates andRebel Spurs.

Knownas ‘Philz’ amonghis teammates, Zulu dreams of playing foroverseas soccer teams one day. De-scribinghimself,hesaid:“Iamatypi-cal youngboywho is quiet anddownto earth, but very talkative once youget to knowme”. Speaking about hisexperience at the team, he said:“Playing for Maritzburg United ismore difficult than playing for somePSL teams that I have played for. Youhave to apply yourself more andadaptfast inordertobeabletoimple-mentwhat the coachhas taught you.“It is not about passion, but abouthowyou canhelp elevate the team tothe next level. There is a big differ-ence, technically, physically and

mentally”. Hisdailyroutineincludesgoing to gym, and onhis free time herests. His all time favourite playersare the legendaryShakesKungwaneand Roger Feutumba and he alsolooks up toMichael Ballack. Speak-ing about challenges in the footballindustry, he said: “There must bemore youth structures andmore op-portunities for underprivileged kids.In most cases, there is a lot of talentin rural areas that remains unrecog-nizedbecause there is no exposure”.

TocityfansZulusaid:“Supportersmust support us in numbers, and bebehind us even when things are notgoing our way”. Other than playingsoccer,helovesdanceswhich hesayshelps him with flexibility
