“Iwas chosenbyyoungpeopleasa businessman who is able to uplift

them. I feel honoured that theyappreciate the little that I do forthem. It comes frommyheart as I donot want to see people suffering.These are our future leaders and aselders,wehaveaduty tomentoranduplift them. I am motivated to domore.

“If not guided, our young peopleoften go astray, and I am planning ahuge conference with all the youngpeople from the province tofind out what their dreamsare, and how I can be usedtofulfillsomeofthem,”saidNjilo.

Njilo, who has more than 10awards to his name mostly for hishumanitarian efforts, challengedother businessman.

“When God blesses you withsomething, he does so in order foryou to be a blessing to others. Thegovernment alone cannot reacheveryneedypersonandasbusiness-men,we also have to helpwherewecan.”

Future Leaders spokesper-son Wendy Sithole said:

“We are redefiningpositive role models. Thephilanthropist award isgiven to someone who givesor donates resources andtime to the youth without

“The mistake that the president made was to wastetime speaking about whathas been done and referring to his previous speech.That wasted time and asviewers, we lost focus andended up changing channelsto look for something better tolisten to. Hewasted toomuch timeand as aresult, Ididn’tmakesense ofanythingthat hesaid.”

Xolani Dlamini

“I’m not going to sing praisesabout what I thought of thespeech. I’m going to say what Ithink the president should havefocused on. He should havefocused on the changes that heis going to make. Again, heshould have made the youthand education a priority inhis speech but I didn’t hearhim detailing much on that.”

“We would have loved if thepresident had touched on thematter of the point system atuniversities. We do pass matricbut then we are faced with apredicament when we have togo and register at tertiaryinstitutions. They are asking forso much and that really kills themorale because we end upsitting at home and not beingaccepted at the universities justbecause of the points.”

Fezeka Mndaweni, Thobeka Nzimande and Andiswa Radebe

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma delivered the State Of the Nation address (SONA)on Tuesday afternoon. People were glued to their screens waiting to hearwhat the president was going to focus on during his second five year term.Nompendulo Ngubane spoke to young people who shared their viewsabout Zuma’s speech.

14 wounds, 12 years’ jailFamily of murdered FET student Rashmika Janthielayal in shock at sentence of killerINGRID OELLERMANN

CRIES of “There is no justice inthis country” and “It isn’t fair”greeted thesentencehanded to

the killer of FET college studentRashmika Janthielayal this week.

Her former boyfriend and fellowstudent, Claudius Chetty (19), wasjailed for 12 years for the “brutal andinhumane” slaying of the 17-year-old.

Rashmika’s mother, Shireen,broke down in tears and reactedangrily when Chetty’s aunt (who didnot want to give her name) said hisfamily was sorry for what hadhappened to Rashmika.

“Sorry is too late…Mydaughter isdead and she can never come back.Thatar***lewillbe in jail for12years,but we will be waiting for him whenhegetsout,”anemotionalJanthielay-al said before she was led away andcomforted by court preparationofficer Louann Shuttleworth.

Shireen Janthielayal said that herdaughter was afraid of Chetty andstayed home from college a weekbefore the murder to avoid him.

But when she returned to writeexams, he killed her.

Pleading guilty to the murdercharge last month, Chetty admittedhe stabbed Rashmika repeatedly inanger at the Northdale FET collegecampus because she told him shedidn’t want to continue theirrelationship.

Both were students at the college.The postmortem showed

Rashmika was stabbed 14 times.

Regional court magistrateSibusiso Mngomezulu said he didn’tbelieve Chetty was genuinelyremorseful.

He said Chetty had stabbedRashmika in front of eyewitnessesand the state’s case against him wasoverwhelming, sohe’dhadnooptionbut to plead guilty.

He said the postmortem andphotographs of the crime scenerevealed that Chetty subjectedRashmika to “inhumane treatment

and extreme brutality”.“You killed her in cold bloodwhen

shewasnotposinganydangertoyou.One would have expected you tocontrol your anger because she hadbeen your girlfriend.

“But your actions show that whenyou committed this offence, youadopted the attitude that if you can’thave her nobody will,” saidMngomezulu.

However,hetookintoaccount thatChetty was 18 at the time, that his

youth may have contributed to his“error of judgment”, that he had noprevious convictions and could berehabilitated.

He also took into account in hisfavour thathehasbeen incustody fora year.

The state did not submit that themurder had been premeditated andthe minimum sentence prescribedwas therefore 15 years’imprisonment for a first offender.

“Our hearts will bleed forever,”

saidShirleyRamsahai,arelativewithwhomRashmikawaslivingwhenshewas killed.

She and other family memberssaid they believed a 12-year jailsentence for hermurder was not fairor just.

“She left my house that morninglooking so beautiful. Her hug was sowarm. Little did I know she wouldnever come home,” said Ramsahai.

Rashmika’s father, Vicky, saidjustice wasn’t done.

Shireen Janthielayal said shewasnot going to give up and accept thesentence.

“Wewill fight in whatever waywecan. He isn’t even remorseful. It tookhim a whole year to decide to pleadguilty,” she said.

Shesaidthisinreferencetothefactthat Chetty initially applied for bailover several months and said hewaspleading not guilty.

“I’m told he could be out in fiveyears time.

“He lives, but my daughter is lostforever,” she said, tightlyhuggingherother daughter, Santhisha (16).

Judge on a mission>> Having her brother arrested for something that he did not do at the age of12 was a blessing in disguise for newly appointed High Court judge ThobaPoyoDlwati, as she would not have considered entering into the legalprofession otherwise. NOKULUNGA NGOBESE spoke to the Pietermaritzburgjudge who took office this month, after being amongst other judges who wererecently appointed by President Jacob Zuma.

BORN in theEastern Cape38 -years ago, Poyo-Dlwati is married to Dr

Hlubi-Dlwatiandtheyhavetwochildren, Elihle and Dlwati.Poyo-Dlwati moved to PMB in1996.

She has been in the legalfraternity for more than 15years where she has heldvarious positions, includingbeing the first woman to beelected as the chairperson ofthe Southern African Develop-ment Community Lawyers’Association (Sadcla).

She has also been thepresident of the KZN LawyersAssociation, co-chairperson ofthe law society in South Africa,chairperson of the gendercommittee, chairperson of theAttorneys DevelopmentFoundation in South Africa, amember of the KZN AppealsTribunalandalso thechairper-son of the Black LawyersAssociation.

“Iamhappyandhumbledasit isagreatachievementforme.

There will be challenges sincethis is a new area for me, but Iam on a mission to work. Myschedule will be very busy, as Ihave to do a lot of reading andpreparation. It isbyGod’sgracethat I am here.”

A hard worker by nature,had itnotbeen forherbrother’sarrest shewouldprobablybe ina different field.

“I was in matric when mybrother went to the mountainsfor circumcision. There was afight and one of the boys died.My brother had to spend morethan six days in prison at only12 years old.

“I felt helpless and thought ifI was a lawyer, I would havedone something to save him.That is where my passion forlaw started. I wanted to knowmoreandeventually decided tostudy for it.”

Althoughshehasbeenintheprofession for years, herconcern is that there are stillveryfewwomenintheindustry.

“Out of the 31 judges in theprovince, only 10 arewomen. Ithink the problem starts frompractise as it takes a long timefor women lawyers to developself confidence. Our society isstilltoopatriarchalandweneedto change that mindset.

“I want to encourage morewomen to forget about theirgender, as we all have theability tobewhowewanttobe,”said Poyo-Dlwati.

Her dream is to sit in theConstitutional Court one day.She would like to be remem-bered as a loving, caringwomanandanagentofchange.

New datefor KZNCapital FMDUMISANI ZONDI>>[email protected]

THE date for the livebroadcast of thelong-awaited KZN Capital104 FM will be July 18, tocoincide with the birthdayof the late, first democrati-cally elected PresidentNelson Mandela.

He told Echo onMondaythat theequipment thathadinitially stalled their firstbroadcast has nowarrived.

The station had beenscheduled to render itsbroadcasting services tocommunities around theuMgungundlovu region,and someDurban areas, byJune 16 to coincide withYouth Day.

However, Sentech failedto meet the deadline for atransmission feed.

ECHOTaking matters into their own hands

RECENTLY some PanoramaWard34residentsmistakenlypraisedtheMsunduziMunici-

pality for cutting down overgrowntrees on the corner of NavanBoulevard and Norfolk Pine.

But it was Panorama residentsEddie McDonald and his friendsBradley Van Der Merwe and TelangShiyane who took the local munici-pality’s responsibility into their ownhands when they trimmed some

problematic trees with their owntools.

Residents around the area saythat part of the road was a securityrisk when waiting for publictransport at the local bus stop(knownasthefirstturn),becausethetrees were extremely bushy andhanging into the road.

McDonald said thathedecided tocut the same trees every yearbecause it is an ongoing problem.

“I pass here every day. This placegets so bushy and when trees areovergrown or hanging on the road,it’s so riskyandverydifficult todrivethrough,” said McDonald.

Some of the people who wait fortaxisintheearlypartsofthemorninghave said that a couple of robberieshave taken place around the samespot.

A regular taxi user and RedwoodCrescent resident in Panorama, LeePillay, said that it was unfortunatethat residents around the areaweredoing the job of the municipality.

“Many years ago, we used to seemunicipal workers sweeping,picking up papers or cutting grassand trees around this area.

“But nowadays, nothing like thathappens,” said Pillay.

Another local resident,Annacleta Kenny, also confirmedthat the area around first turn andthe bus stop is not safe.

“Most of the peoplewalk throughhereandwait at thenearbybus stopfor taxis, but it’s not safe at all.

“The whole area was covered bytrees hanging on the road whichmade it difficult for cars to pass ormembers of the public to walk by.”

Ward 34 ANC chairperson IvyTerry-Adams praisedMcDonald forbeingagoodexampleinthearea,butadvised residents not to hesitate tocontact the municipality offices forcomplaints such as faulty streetlights, illegal dumping, openmanholes or long grass.

Ward 34 Councillor EuniceMajola also praised the communityresponsibility initiativedisplayedbythe residents.

19Ripples forGoodNOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]

OVER 150 schools have benefited from Ripplesfor Good, an organisation that focuses onsustainable and environmentally friendlyprojects in disadvantaged communities.

One of the schools that have benefited fromthe project is Dargle primary school in Howick.

The campaign started on a bicycle 10 yearsago, said Ripples for Good founder Maria Botha.

The schools that were part of the projecthave been repainted, had leaking water tapsfixed and more.

“I started on a bicycle 10 years ago with afirm belief that everything we complain about,we have the potential to create in a positiveway. That means starting with our children andwater connecting us.

“We have started by fixing schools, leakingwater taps and pipes, changing their lights toenergy savers and LED, but then we also sharedthe beauty in life by colouring and renovatingour schools for the children to be proud of. Thechildren participate in the process.

“Theygettocleanuptheirownschool,starting with the graffiti, then they get to paint anddo handprints,” said Botha.

The project started on 13 May and benefiteda number of communities.

This project is in partnership with ChevroletUte Force and Builders Warehouse.

They have embarked on a countrywidecampaign tointroducemoreefficient waterandelectricity systems to schools.

As part of their ongoing collaboration tosupport needy schools, volunteers fromBuilders and Chevrolet Ute Force, together withRipples for Good, have installed energy efficientelectricity systems and repaired damagedinfrastructure at many schools.

BFC street‘kids’ initiative>> NGO’s come together to address the issue of glue sniffing

NICOLE JOHN

BUSINESSES Fighting Crime (BFC), aninitiativeformedtohelpgetthecitysaf-er for the public, have joined forces

with the non-governmental organizationsector to address the issue of street childrensniffing glue.

Sally Mann,director of Youth ForChrist (YFC), said thatthe NGO sector havemet with BFC twiceand have identifiedpeople living on thestreetsasanissuethatneeds to beaddressed.

She added that atthe last Pietermaritz-burg Chamber ofBusiness NGO forummeeting, they identi-fiedasmallergroupofpeoplewhowill bemeetingon30June toputtogether a plan of action and communicatewith BFC at their next meeting.

“They [BFC] have committed to partnerwith us in trying to increase our interventionwith the children on the streets,” saidMann.

Some of the organizations partnering forthis initiative are YFC, Project Gateway, theDepartment of Social Development,Msunduzi Municipality and the CommunityChest.

Director Michael Deegan of theCommunity Chest said that glue sniffing is aproblem in parts of Africa, especially withstreet children.

“Three of the most widely abusedinhalants are the Dendrite brand and otherforms of contact adhesives and rubber

cements,” he said.Deegan added that

the United NationsOffice on Drugs andCrime reported thatglue sniffing is at thecore of “streetculture.”

Research conduct-ed found that gluesniffing amongststreet children wasprimarilyfunctional indulling the sensesagainst the hardshipof life on the street, butit also provided a link

to the support structure of the ‘street family’as a potent symbol of shared experience.

Mannemphasizedhowever that themostimportant thing tonote is that theNGOsectorrecognise that the children cannot just beremoved from the streets.

Warning to parents

NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]

PARENTS are warned to hide pornographic DVD’s from childrenas they have a high impact on young children practising sex.This was revealed at the Child Awareness campaign that washosted by the Plessislaer SAPS and Plessislaer Victim Supportat Mthethomusha primary school last Friday.

The other highlighted finding is that high school pupilsdownload pornographic videos onto their cellphones whichalso exposes them to sexual activities, said Victim Supportrepresentative Fisani Ngcobo Khuboni.

She said their investigations have revealed that the mostpornographic videos that children have access to are those thatsell on the street.

“Parents buy loads of these DVD’s at the cheapest prices,they cost only R10 on the street and they are easy to find. Themistake that most parents make is that they leave them ina place where children have access to them.

“Once the child has seen the video, they go to school andperform what they have seen. We have cases where teachershave called us to come to school where primary school pupilshave engaged themselves in sexual activities. When weinvestigate, the child often says that they have seen videos athome,” said Khuboni.

She said high school pupils download the pornographicvideos and keep them on their cellphones.

“These ones are so open about it and they are not shy aboutthe fact that they have pornographic videos. This is one of thereasons we again urge the parents to fully monitor what theirchildren are watching at home. There is parental guidance onalmost every show or movie on television. That is veryimportant and parents should be guided by that, it’s there fora reason and it should be applied in each and every household.We have had two cases in two of the primary schools wherekids were found practising sex. Again it appeared that they hadseen pornographic videos at home. Parents should hide theseDVD’s and lock them away in a place where kids can’t reach,them” she said

ECHOTALKING TOURISM

DUMISANI MHLONGO: DIRECTOR OF THE MSUNDUZI PIETERMARITZBURG TOURISM ASSOCIATION

DUMISANI MHLONGO

IT is time to reflect on successesof the tourism industry in thepast 20 years.According to President Jacob

Zuma’sStateoftheNationaddress,“The tourism industry has growndramatically. In1993,SouthAfricareceived a mere three millionforeignvisitors.By2012, thefigurehad grown to 13 million visitors.”

According to South AfricanTourism, the industry has grownsignificantlyoverthepast20years,with visitor growth outstrippingthe global average.

However, not enough is beingdone to market the countryinternationally.

The findings by Grant

Thornton, based on data since1994 and forming part of the 20YearsofTourismreport,confirmedthis.

“We’ve done exceptionally wellin a number of areas and sincedemocracy,we’vereallyopenedupasan international tourist destina-tion in a big way,” said GillianSaunders, head of advisoryservices at Grant ThorntonJohannesburg.

Growth in the tourism sectorover the last two decades includeshotels more than doubling from726 in 1994 to over 1 500; casinosgrowing from 17 often small semi-rural establishments to 38 largemega-complexes; thetotalcar-hirefleet increasing from 25 000 to 65000; and luxury coaches from 340

to720.Thenumberof internation-alairlinesflyingtoSouthAfricaalsogrew, from 21 to 76 during theperiod.

The issue of investment inmar-keting, from local to internationallevel is usually cited as a limitationformoregrowth,whichit is,buttheside of growth that pertains totransformation of the industry isalways neglected.

In 2012, the National Depart-ment of Tourism (NDT) togetherwith provinces, identified lack ofuniformity across spheres ofgovernment when it comes totourism programmes.

In lightof this, theNDT,provinc-es and the national treasury devel-oped the Tourism BudgetProgramme Structure, which

identified tourism as a coreprogramme with its own sub-programmes.

The stand-alone programmewill have three sub-programmes,namely Tourism Planning, Tour-ism Growth and Development andTourism Sector Transformation.Industry transformation was alsolisted as a critical success factor bythe National Department of Tour-ism. Twomajor players - local gov-ernment and Community TourismOrganisations (CTO) have animportant role to play in the trans-formation of the tourism industryandtheKZNCTOstrategyspeakstothis question.

Transformation of the industrywill mean enhancement of thetourism product.

ECHO

More talk thanactionSOUTH African football continues toshy away from real issues that delayprogress of our football.

Presently, we do not have coachesandplayers towinmajor internationalevents.

Since 1994, we have failed to ad-dress the deficiencies of players andcoaches in this country.

SAFA, PSL and the local govern-ment municipalities need to under-stand that co-operationwill benefit allrole players. It will benefit both clubsandthenationalteamstoputemphasison youth development and nurturingof potential stars.

Presently, there is too much noisefromhigherechelons,butverylittleac-tion.Thepoor relationsbetweenSAFAand the PSL has not helped the situa-tion.

It is worth checking what has hap-pened in German football since the2000 Euro Championship disaster.

Theywent all out to improve the fa-cilities and coaching at youth level.This saw the construction of 121 na-tional talent centres to help 10 to 17yearoldswith technical practice.Eachcentre would employ two full-timecoaches. Secondly, all professionalclubs in both Bundesliga 1 and 2 hadto put up youth academies.

This was a condition that all theclubs needed to abide with to be al-lowed to operate.

Consequently in 2010, the Germanteam came third with the youngestteaminthetournament.It isalsoworthnoting that 19 players from this groupcame from Bundesliga 1 while fourcame from Bundesliga 2.

You have young players like Gotze,Schurrle and Reus coming up, whileother youngsters likeOzil andBoateng

are now established members of theteam.

Obviously this is a team capable ofplaying in the present and the future.

It is also important to note how thisforward thinkinghashelped club foot-ball inthiscountry.Lastseason,thetopEuropean competition was contestedby BayernMunich and Borussia Dort-mund.TherearenowmoreyoungGer-manplayers featuring in theBundesli-ga. This in turn has helped in improv-ing the numbers of fans in thestadiums. People always like to sup-port the home grown talent.

Surely we are opposite of these de-velopments?

The topic is always about the nextnational coachwho can come upwithmiracles. Our club sides have also bat-tled to assert themselves in Africanclubcompetitions. Itwillbe interestingto see how an international MamelodiSundowns does in the CAF Cup.

Sure,wecanlearnfromtheGermanandSpanishmodels.However it is im-portant that South Africans developsomethingsuitable to their conditions.

This demands a lot of hard work intermsof thinking, researching and ex-perimenting. Are we disciplinedenoughtoentrust therightpeoplewiththese responsibilities?

Weneedtobeourselves if thiscoun-try is to become contenders of WorldCup glory.

The politics of us and them in foot-ball is not helping the country tomoveforward. Personally, I believe thiscountry has capable people. The chal-lenge is for those in power to learn towork even with those they do not like.

A lot of money is circulating in ourprofessional football. The problem isthat most of this cash does not benefitour youth. The TV deals and higherwages have benefited foreigners rath-er than the development of local foot-ball. The rules about foreignplayers inour professional league need to be re-viewedifweareseriousaboutempow-ering South African boys. A situationwhere a club competes with natural-ized South Africans deprives localyoung players’ opportunities to grow.

The problem with us is that thereare lots of words and promises of abrighter future, yet no governing bodyin total control of youth development.

Itwill takeBafanaBafanahundredsof years to catch up with top nations ifwe continue doing more talking thanactions.

Boys and girls are born every daywithout anyhope for abrighter future.

Unzima Lomthwalo!

Playing for youthunity in fighting

social ills>> The event will give a platform to talk about issues affecting wellbeing

ANUMBERofunder10soccerteamsare to battle it out at Zibomvinisportsground in kwaShange in the

Vulindlela area this Saturday andSundayfor attractive prizes.

The Msunduzi Municipality Ward 24soccer tournament, held just before theend of youth month, is organised byMthetheleliShangase,ThembaZondiandlocal councillor Thandiwe MercyButhelezi.

Shangase said that the winners willwalkawaywithanewsetofsoccerjerseys,atrophyandmedalsandthefirst runners-upwill alsowin a set of soccer jerseys andmedals,whilst thesecondrunners-upwillbe rewarded with a set of soccer jerseys.

He said other than uniting the localyouthundersport,theeventwill givethema platform to talk about issues affectingtheir wellbeing.

“We wanted to include netball for theward’s youngwomenbutwe couldnot af-ford it since we have no sponsorship andare financing the tournament from ourown pockets.

“We however invite all the youngwomen in the ward to support the eventsothattheywillhearthemessages.Wewilldefinitely do something for them infuture,” said Shangase.

The tournamentwill kick off at 8amonSaturday.

ShiningexamplefromEastwoodEASTWOOD is an area which has previously produced a number of professional soccer players and academics.

This is the thought of proud formerresident, and soccer player, GodfreyTenoff.

Tenoff said that criminal activitiesthat from time to time take place in thearea are normal, and not unlike otherareas in the city.

“Maybeweshouldpressuriseourlocal government to sort out all thesporting facilities around Eastwood. Itis impossible to expect this area to produce future sport stars as they didmany years ago because the sportsgrounds are in a shambles. It is shocking to think how we used to train from4pm to 8pm every day,” said Tenoff.

The Eastwood born and well travelled Tenoff is one example of successfrom the area. He is not just anoutstanding, focused character, but aliving example that Eastwood is not agangsters paradise or drug infestedcommunity, but can also produce quality future leaders and sport heroes.

“Eastwood is made up of a proudand talented community of integrity.Unfortunately, there is the wrong perception out there about the area,” saidTenoff.

He started his early schooling atEastwood Primary School and latermoved to Haythorne High School.

During his early career at juniorlevel, Tenoff played as a midfielder andas a defender for local amateur sidessuch as MDFA’s Pirates (U8, U12 andU14) and coached Craig Davis.

His former teamates say he was

always a disciplined player, arrivingearly for training and listened to thecoach.

He also played for the old, popularEastwood crowd pullers Leicester City(U16 and seniors), under the guidanceof Chris Morrison and Gallies Marais.

“Uncle Chris Morrison was alwayspassionate about the development ofjunior players in the area. He produceda lot of household names and a teamthat later dominated a lot of competitions around the Natal midlandsregion, especially the annual Padsa’sEaster tournament in Northdale,” hesaid.

Tenoff is currently based inBloemfontein where he has beenemployed as the head soccer coach ofthe University Of Free State since 2011.

After matriculating at Haythorne,Tenoff was offered a scholarship at theUniversity of Dayton in Ohio with thehelp of Gus Hornsby.

He was there from 1996 to 2000and won three Atlantic championships. He also attended coaching classes and holds a United States SoccerFederation D and C licence. He wouldlike to complete his coaching licensein the USSA and then continue to gethis CAF qualifications.

Aside from his coaching papers,Tenoff also studies for a BachelorsDegree in exercise science.

Tenoff says he has always wantedto plough back into his community andcity when he came back from Americabut was unlucky not to be given an opportunity in local circles.

“I applied everywhere, I even had aninterview at Mamelodi SundownsAcademy. Then a post for the soccermanager at the UFS came up and I applied for that job. They were impressedand as they say, the rest is history.”

Tenoff’s short but loud and wisemessage to youngsters around hisneighbourhood is to “always make education the priority because yourdreams will be limited without education.”

KwaZuluNatal needs an athletics academy says Willie MtoloTHE 1992 New York Marathon winner,1989 and 2002 Comrades Marathonrunner upWillie Mtolo said that his nextdream is to producequality athleteswhocan take the national and internationalscene by storm.

Mtolospoke toEcho thisweekafterheattendedafunctionheldbytheMsunduziMunicipalitytohonourlocalathleteswhodid well in this year’s ComradesMarathon, including overall winnerBongumusa Mthembu.

The veteran ultra athlete said that heis prepared to work around the clock toconvince provincial government, localmunicipalities, KwaZulu-Natal Athletics(KZNA),AthleticsSouthAfrica (ASA)andthe business sector to come on board inorder to start an athletics academy.

Mtolo said that it is now high time forall stake holders to stop talking and takeaction.

The Underberg resident said thatwhen he staged a training camp in hishometown for six Comrades Marathonrunners, the hardship he went throughwas unbelievable.

“You need to make sure that runnersare able to sleep and eat properly. Theenvironment is also very important for

them.”Mtolo said that for accommodation,

Mondi Forest played a very importantrole by giving his runners a place to stay.

“Theyreallysavedthesepoorathletes

a lot ofmoneybyprovidingaccommoda-tion,” said Mtolo.

TheWillieMtoloAthleticsClubownersaid that if KZN want to see moreMthembu’s winning Comrades

Marathons, or KZN athletes represent-ing South Africa at the highest level, aproper academy needs to be built.

“We need all relevant departments,federationsandprivatesponsorstocomeon board, work together and make it areality. If we are all really focused inachieving this goal, we need to stopdreaming and provide resources,” saidMtolo.

ASA new elected president, who isalso a former KZNA chairman, AleckSkhosana said that Mtolo’s idea wasgreat and needed to be put into writingfor the relevant stakeholders.
