AN organisation dedicated towrenching single, divorcedand widowed KwaZulu­Natal

moms from being sucked into theabyss of poverty may have to

close its doors after a compu­ter crash has rendered it una­

ble to operate.This means a number

of families may not have

enough food in the weeks to come.God’s Warehouse in Pietermaritzburg

provides families with food, clothing, supportand assistance through the labyrinth of thelegal system. Its mission is to stop single,divorced and widowed mothers from slidingthrough the cracks and becoming anotherpoverty statistic.

It also collects donations of used and newclothing, toys and household items for thefamilies it supports. Items that cannot be dis­tributed for various reasons are spruced upand sold to generate funds for God’s Ware­house.

The registered non­profit organisation’sreach is not limited to Pietermaritzburg as

it helps families fromRichards Bay to

Port

Shepstone, from the greater Durban areathrough the Midlands and up into the north­ern interior.

Debbie Schroeder, who founded and runsthe organisation, said the operation hasbeen brought to a standstill after the compu­ter crash. “Everything is on it. They are work­ing to recover information from the harddrive, but we need a computer to transferonto in order to operate.”

God’s Warehouse relies solely on dona­tions. A highly active social media presencehas helped with this, but it does not havefunds to replace the laptop. “Every cent weraise goes to feeding and helping our moms,”said Schroeder.

The 2011 South African census found thatnationally, 3.7% of South African children livewith their fathers while 39% live only withtheir mothers who raise the children withoutmaintenance from the father.

“Many of those [men] I have encounteredcan’t pay maintenance for their children, butcan support the new girlfriend and providefor or pay to entertain their children,” saidSchroeder.

While gender equality has improved, thegap between the difference in earnings be­tween men and women is still considerable.

“This means that should a woman fallpregnant, be divorced or widowed, it is diffi­cult for her to survive financially without the

support of the father,” said Schroeder.Schroeder is also on a crusade to ensure

“deadbeat” fathers feel the wrath of the longarm of the law. Today, she helps moms navi­gate the often intimidating and confusing le­gal system at no cost.

“This is why God’s Warehouse exists. Noparent should fall through the cracks just be­cause they are doing the best they can tokeep their children healthy and educated,”she said.

Without the laptop, this important sup­port structure will grind to a halt.

“We have sent messages to all our sup­porters and need whatever help we can get.Any donation is welcome and every little bitcounts. If more is raised, it will go straight tohelping feed, clothe and support our moms,”said Schroeder.

Lesi simemezelo sikhishwe ngu-Advocate Bheki MbilingoLwesithathuolwedlulelaphoenabekabanzingokumeleabantu abazofaka izicelo bakwazi uma sebenza lokhu.

Echaza u-Advocate Mbili uthe kunezicelo ezingu-1 900ezasala ezicelweni ezazifakiwe ngesikhathi kukhishweumyalelo wokuthi abantu bafake izicelo zabo zokubuy-iselwa umhlaba.

Utheleziziceloezingu-1900yizoezizobhekelelwakuqa-lanezizobekwakuqalakuloluhlelo lokubuyiselwakwemih-laba kubanikazi bayo.

Ukubuyiselwa kwemihlaba ebantwini kumenyezelwaemva kokuthi uMengameli wezwe uMnuz Jacob Zumaephinde wasayinda ngokusemthethweni ukuthi kuphindekuvulwe futhi kululwe nesikhathi sokuthi abantu ezwenilonke laseNingizimu Africa bafake izicelo zabo zokubuy-iselwakomhlabawabongokomthethoowaziwangeResitu-tion of Land Rights Amendment Act 2014.

“Ikhomishana yesifunda ebhekelele ukubuy-iselwa komhlaba imema bonke abantu abafunaukubuyiselwa imihlaba yabo ukuthi beze bezofa-ka izicelo zabo kule khomishini.

“Lokhukuvulelekeemiphakithininoma imi-ndeni eyathinteka ekudliweni komhlaba

Ukwenza lezi zicelo online kungenyeyezindlela yokukwazi ukuthi sivimbe ubuge-bengu nenkohlakalo engase yenzeke umaabantu befaka izicelo zabo. Siyanxusa ukuthiabantu beze kuleli hhovisi bephethe zonke iz-imfanelo ezidingekayo uma bezofaka izicelo.

“Lokhukuzokwenzaukuthi sikwaziukuthiabantu sibasize futhi sikwazi nokugwemaizinselelo ezingaba khona lapho kufakwaizicelo,” kuchaza Mbili.

Drinking spreeends in rapeNOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>[email protected]

ADRINKING spree ended in disaster fora 25-year-old Elandskop man after hewas allegedly raped by anotherman in

Scottsville last week.LindaXuluallegesthathewasdruggedand

rapedbyamaninhismid-fortiesathisScotts-ville home, after befriending him at Hlophe’sButcheryinWestStreet.Hesaid hewasaston-ished when hewoke up naked on his bed thefollowing day.

“Last Sunday night Iwasoutpartyingwithmy lesbian friend at Hlophe’s Butchery whenan old man invited us to drink with him. Hestartedbuyingusalcoholandaskedmy friendto go and buy cigarettes for us.

“As she left, he started questioning hergender.Whenshecameback,wewantedtogoto Bayside lounge to havemore drinks and hegave us a lift.

“After a few drinks, he suggested that wefind an ATM as he wanted to withdrawmoremoney.WewenttotheATMatMcDonaldscen-tre and proceeded to another tavern in WestStreet. Theplacewas sopackedwedecided tohave our drinks inside the car.

“Myfriendsuggestedthatwecallacabandproceed to a ‘stocky’ at some tavern inEdendale.Hearing that,heaskedmy friend togo and buy more alcohol. While she was out,hejumpedintothecarandspedoff, leavingmyfriend behind.”

Xulusaidhedoesnotrememberwhathap-pened after that, butwas astonishedwhenhewoke up the following day to find himselfnaked in bed with him.

“Irealisedwhathadjusthappenedandde-manded that he open the door for me, whichhe refused to do.

“On the bed there was also a pill which Isuspect was used to drug me. He eventuallygave in and dropped me off in town. I thenwent to the Loop Street police station andopened a rape case.”

He said although he does not know theman’s name he can identify him as he drivesa personalised Dodge Caliber.

“I just want to warn young people to bevigilant. He seems to be luring young peoplewith alcohol so that he can drug them.”

SAPS spokesperson Captain ThulaniZwane confirmed that a48-year-oldmanwasarrested allegedly for rape last week.

Bathi lama bhodlela anemithi yesiZulungaphakathi aphinde abe namagama esithaumuntu afisa sinqotshwe.

Ilunga lomphakathi elingathandangauku-dalulwa igama lithe: “Kuthiwa ufike ubhaleigama lomuntu ofisa ukumenza kabi okunga-ba isitha sakho noma imbangi yakho. Laphausuke umbopha ukuthi kukho konke akwen-zayo kungaphumeleli lutho.”

Elinye ilunga lomphakathi nalo elingath-andangaukudalulwalitheyizelesisihlahlasis-endaweni okungajwayele ukuhamba khonaabantu, abantu bayasazi njengoba befikaubuthaphuthaphu, ikakhulukazi labo aba-hamba ngezimoto.

Uthe:“Ngelinye ilanga kuke kwenzekangazithola senginqamula ngakhona. Eku-hambenikwamingezwaisangomasikhulumanomuntu simtshela ukuthi mhla kuqhumaisivalosebhodlela,umuthiuyobeusuqalauku-sebenza esitheni sakhe.

“Asisinye lesi sihlahla njengoba kukhonafuthi esinye esiseduze kwaso. Into esikhat-hazayo ukuthi izingane zethu ziye zidlale zizezicishe zifike ngakusona. Kuyokwenzekaniumangelinye ilangazidlalazizezifikekusona,zivule la mabhodlela?” ephetha.

Isangoma okuthiwa yisona esenza lokhu,uMnuz.SabeloDlamini,uthelesisihlahlaasih-langene nokulwa nezitha, kodwa sisiza laboabalahlekelwe izinto ukuthi bakwazi uku-sheshe bazithole.

Uthe: “Ngisebenzisa lesi sihlahla ebusikakuphela ngoba sisuke sinamagatsha. Ehlobongisebenzisa umfula. Kula mabhodlela ku-namagama ezinto ezilahlekele abantu.Ngibuyisa noma yini esuke ilahlekile. Ngishonoma ngabe ikude kanjani, iyabuya emvakwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa.”

Isazi sezamaziko uDkt. NomaguguNgobese uthe lesi sihlahla esokuvika umphe-zulu njengoba udlalela kusona.

“Amagxolo aso ayasetshenziselwa ukwe-lapha njengazo zonke ezinye izihlahla. Okun-ingi ngaso ngingakuphawula uma ngingak-waziukuzibonelamina lamabhodlela,”kushoyena.

Usihlalo wenhlangano yabelaphi bend-abuko KwaZulu-Natal uMnuz. Sazi Mhlongouthe akaze ezwe ukuthi kukhona okwenziwangalesi sihlahla.

“Ngokwazikwamisisetshenziselwaukubi-ya emakhaya, kodwa-ke ukwelapha ngokwe-lapha! Kodwa-ke kukhona phela lezo zigame-ko lapho abelaphi bewaka ngazo abantu,ngobabengazikahlengezindlelazokwelapha.

“Kungenzeka kwamanye amazwe ase-Af-rika, kodwa angikaze ngizwe ngakho laphaeNingizimu Afrika.”

The theme of the summit was “Safepassages, creating the citywe deserve”,whichwas attended by pupils, tertiary students andstakeholders fromtheSAPS, theDepartmentofTransport and the the Department of Educa-tion.

Youth co-ordinator at Cindi Mbali Mngunisaid the summit is held annually for people be-tween the ages of 12 and 23.

“Ouraimistoencouragechildparticipation,hence we have opened a platform for them todiscuss problems that may hinder their devel-

and [creates] development programmes,young people are not represented enough.

“We have identified common problems inschool safety, pupil transport and imbalancesin the education system and infrastructire.

“A memorandum of understanding will besigned and sent to the city mayor in order forthese problems to beaddressed,”saidMnguni.

One youth ambassador, Simlindile Ndlobu,said: “There are so many problems faced byyoungpeople.Thereisahugeproblemofdrink-ing and driving among drivers. We travel toschoolusingpublictransportdaily,butwewor-ry that we may not reach our destination.There are lot of criminal activities in our com-munities.

“Wearealso concernedabout the junk foodthat is sold toschoolchildrenassomeof it isnotmanufactured in factories.”

Bakhala ngokusebenzisa izindluzangasese zabesilisa emtholampilo

NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>[email protected]

ZIKHALA ngokusebenzisa izindlu zangasesezabesilisa iziguli zabesifazane emtholampiloiCentralCityclinicesedolobhenieduzenehho-visi likaNdunankulu wesifundazwe.

Lezi zikhalo zivezwe ezinye zeziguli ebezi-vakashele lo mtholampilo mayelana nendlelaoqhuba ngayo.

Esinye seziguli esikhulumene-EchouNkk.ThandekileMajoziutheubeyolandaamaphili-si esifo sikashukela agcine engazange awat-hole ngenxa yokuthi umshini wokuhlola ush-ukela kubikwa ukuthi udukile.

UNkkMajozi uthengenxayalokhuuzewa-phoqeleka ukubuyela ekhaya engazange ahl-olelwe ushukela futhi anikezwe amaphilisi.

“Ukubuyela kwami emuva ngingazangengibhekwe futhi ngithole amaphilisi kwen-zeke ngoNhlangulana. Udokotela akangib-hekanga isifo sikashukela aphinde anginikeamaphilisi ngoba umshini kwabikwa ukuthiudukile.

“Ngibuyele ekhayangingazangengenziwelutho. Kuningi okungalungile laphaemtholampilo, kunenkingayezindluzangase-se.Kumanjenjesisebenzisaizindluzangasesezabantu besilisa ngoba izindlu zangasese za-bantu besifazane azisebenzi.

“Okunyesizitholasibhaliswaunogadaimi-niningwane ukuze sibone udokotela. Lokhukuyaxakangobaasazinomalokhuukufundele

yini,” echaza uNkk Majozi.Okhulumela Umgungundlovu Health Dis-

trict uMnuz Musawenkosi Mncwabe uku-phikile ukuthi unogada nguye oye abhaliseiziguli.

Uthe umtholampilo unaye umabhalaneokunguye obhalisa iziguli, hhayi unogada.

“Unogadauyeasizeabantungokuqiniseki-sa ukuthi bami emgqeni okuyiwo kanti lokhukwenzeka kuphela ekuseni.

“Zonkeiziguliziyezibhekweemtholampilonjengenqubo yomtholampilo. Asikho isiguliesiye sibuyele ekhaya ngaphandle kokubhek-wa. Sinayo inselelo mayelana nezinsizaemtholampilo.

“Izindlu zangasese azanele ukuthi zikwaziukunelisa zonke iziguli. Sinezindlu zangaseseezine kuphela, zintathu ezabesifazane kantieyamadoda yinye. Ngenxa yokuthi zisetshen-ziswa kakhulu kuye kube khona ukuphaz-amiseka kuzona kodwa uMnyangoweZempi-lo usezinhlelweni zokulungisa lokhu,” kushouMncwabe.

I-Echo ikhulumenomunyewesifazane on-gathandanga ukudalulwa ngenkathi iva-kashele lo mtholampilo. Utshele leli phep-handaba ukuthi inkinga enkulu yiyo yezindluzangasese ezisetshenziswa iziguli zabesilisanabesifazane.

“Sekuyintoejwayelekileukuthisisebenziseizindlu zangasese zabesilisa ngoba ezabesi-fazane zingasebenzi nomazingenalo iphephalokusula (tissue),”kusho lona wesifazane.

AYACASULA lamadoda akhula eyizishimane,aqale ukuba ngamasoka esemadala bese ebonaizingane zabantu ziyizinto zokudlala.

Lamasokaavameukubonakalakakhuluumakunemicimbi efana nalo mjaho omkhuluwamahhashi waminyaka yonke oba seGreyvilleeThekwini, obungoMgqibelo.

Okucasula kakhulu umfokaNdosi, uMgiks,ukuthi uma esesenkingeni la masoka avumbukailanga seliyozilahla kunina, amanye antantath­eka eze kuyena esecela awatakule obishini. Cis­he bekusaphele ihora elilodwa ngifikile ekhayangeSonto ntambama engixoxela ngenye injiti­mane (gentleman) eyakhula iyilesishimane es­ixaka ukwenza.

Uthi isisu simane sagcwala umoya kule njiti­mane ehlonishwayo eSontweni ekhonza kulonangendlela enikela ngayo, neyaziwa ngokuhlan­zeka nokungayifuni into ebheke eceleni njen­gokuxegelwa yisimilo, ngesikhathi ihlangananembibizane ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku. Le njiti­mane, ibisihlele konke nengane yesikole ukuthiukuthi bazojabula ndawonye ebusuku ngoL­wesihlanu kweminye yale micimbi ebithe chithisaka eThekwini, eyandulela usuku olukhulu,iDurban July Handicap. Ukuthi kuhlanganwenini,kuphi, kanjani, akusasho lutho manje ngobasekonakele konakele.

UmaeyixoxalendabauMgiksubuyeanxapheyedwa azwakale esethi: “Nxag! Nazo lezi zin­gane zonakele ngokwazo man! Kubonakalangendlela eziziphophotha ngayo ukuthi zibolile.Ngeke ungitshele ukuthi imali yokuthengazonke lezi ziqholo ezizisebenzisayo ziyinikwa ng­abazali.”

Le njitimane ibihlele ukuthi izohlangana nalengane yomuntu kwelinye lama hhotela apham­bili eMhlanga. Iqashe netekisi ebizolanda in­gane. Wonke amalungiselelo abesemi ngomu­mo, nengane isitsheliwe ukuthi izofika yenzenjani ehhotela.

Akwaziwa­ke noma ingane ibinovadlwanayini ngoba kuzwakala sengathi ibuzile ukuthi in­gafika yini nomngane wayo, kwathiwa ‘no prob­lem’ kodwa kube ngumngani ongesisona ‘isitini’.Nayo­ke injitimane le, ibe isihlela nobhululuwayo ukuthi bahlangane ba ‘gruve’ ndawonye.NgekesiyidalulelenjitimanengobangabesifakauMgiks enkingeni, angabe esasipotshozelaizindaba okuyizona esiphila ngazo. Okunyeokusemqoka ukuthi le ngosi akuyona eyokuxa­banisa, kodwa eyokuphawula ngezinto ezithin­ta umphakathi.

Nangempela izilethe izingane itekisi ebusu­

ku. Pho izingane zisuke zisabonakala yini ukuthiziyizingane ngoba kusuke sekuyizintombizangempela. Mhlambe nabazali bazo basukebengeke besazibona kalula.

Akudingekanga nokuthi zize zingqonqozekaningi sezifikile ekamelweni ebeziyalelwe lona.Kusukume yona injitimane le, yavula isicabhayase icasha emuva kwaso, idlala. Lona omunyeubhululu wayo ubehleli kusofa osegunjini elib­heke ulwandle, ezishayela iwayini.

Namalambu kagesi la endlini, akhanyiswekancane ngalendlela yokuthi kudingeka uson­dele eduze kakhulu kumuntu ukuze umbonekahle ukuthi ubani.

Ithe ifika nje injitimane emva kwemizuzwanaengemingaki zingenile ‘izingane’ ziqeda ukuhla­la phansi, yayishona kweyayo ‘ingane’ iyiqabulaezindebeni ngalokhu okuthiwa yi­baby kiss. Em­va kwalokho injitimane ikhanyise ugesi kakhudl­wana ukuze kwazane wonke umuntu osendlini.Kuphele ubusoka, isisu sagcwala umoya ibonaukuthi lena enye intombazane, yindodakaziyayoyangaphandle.Nanxaayitholaengakasha­di bayazwana ngoba iyaziwa nasekhaya futhi ih­lale ivakasha futhi iyazwana nomkakhe.

“Manje bengingekho mina enza yonkelemikhuba unkabi lo,” kusho umfo kaNdosi,“kodwa sekuyimina okufanele ngiqhamukelanesu lokumtakula kule nyakanyaka asengenekuyona. Kwasalowo mcimbi obuhleliwe awu­bange usaqhubeka, kuphele konke ukuhlaka­nipha.

“Okungicasula tu ukuthi onkabi laba umabekhefuza emihlanganweni nasemaSontweni,bazenza ongcwelengcwele, bethi bona abalan­delwa yizimpukane eziluhlaza, kanti bane­mikhuba exaka ukwenza, yizikhohlakali zokuqa­la nokugcina,” esho enikina ikhanda umfo kaN­dosi.

Kazi wena mfundi wawuzokwenze njani umauzithola esimweni esifana nesale njitimane.Uma kunje, ngubani isikhohlakali ngempela kulenyakanyaka? Injintimane nobhululu wayo, no­ma nazo‘izingane’kuyefananje.Kufanele kwen­ziwe njanima kunje?.

Ubaniisikhohlakali kuyoyonke lenyakanyaka?

“The ultimate driving experience – this is how wedescribe the new Nissan Qashqai,” commented Kon­stantin von Vieregge, general manager of marketingand planning at Nissan South Africa.

“The new model represents a new lifestyle choicefor people who value their driving as part of their eve­ryday experience, and aim to make theirtime behind the wheel more than justa chore.” “New and revamped fromthe ground up, the new NissanQashqai is a vehicle that can doit all – it has the space, power,comfort, versatility and practi­cality to suit the busy and ad­venturous lifestyles of SouthAfrican buyers,” added NancyReddy, product manager forpassenger and crossover ve­hicles at Nissan South Africa.The new Qashqai arrives witha five­model range supported bythree engine variants and two trim lines.Rather than being simply a reworked originalwith a renewed lease on life, the new Qashqai is long­er, wider, lower, lighter and redesigned from theground up.

It also boasts state­of­the­art technology, in­

creased efficiency, and a sassy new character. Thenew interior, which is bolstered by the three core ele­ments of comfort, connectivity and control, is wherethe biggest leap in quality and feel has been achieved.The ergonomic layout ensures ease of use, with keytouch points and surfaces designed to enhance thesensory experience and provide long­term durability.The availability of space remains a key factor in theQashqai, and ample seating is available for five occu­pants. The 430­litre boot which is fronted by a tail­gate which now opens 150 mm higher than before,

is 20 litres bigger than that of its first generationcounterpart.

The new Qashqai achieved five stars in theincreasingly stringent Euro NCAP crash tests,

TheNissan Around View Monitor is available

as an option on all derivatives except theQashqai 1.2T Visia. This monitor incorpo­

rates four exterior cameras – on the nose,tailgate and under each door mirror – to cre­

ate a “helicopter view” of the vehicle. All newQashqai models carry Nissan’s six­year/150

000km warranty and a five­ year/90 000 km serviceplan.

144 Houses for Sale Local netball doing well, in good hands

IF you have been wondering whothe president of Mgungundlovuand District Netball Association is,

she is Matholi Nsele, a resident ofImbali Unit 18. Nsele is a formerschool sprinter, karateka and model.She finished her schooling atNjoloba and Mphophomeni High inHowick. This week Echo asked hersome questionsEcho: Explain your position or dutiesin the local netball association.Matholi Nsele (MN): I am the

president or chairperson for Mgun­gundlovu and District Netball Associ­ation. My main duty is to lead andhead the federation.Echo: Officially who are the affili­ates of your federation?MN: All the local municipalitieswithin the Mgungundlovu district.Echo: Besides you, who are otherofficials are under this wing?MN: There is Angie Xaba [secretary],Mabuyi Madlala, SthembisoMncwabe, Lungwana Xulu andArthur Maseko, to count a few.Echo: Explain how the structure isactually made up of, from local cir­cles, regional to provincial or nation­al level?MN: The federation is mostly madeup of officials from various local mu­nicipalities. In simple terms, as a dis­trict we accommodate local associa­tions right up to the regional,provincial and the national level, un­der Netball South Africa.

I remember many years ago dur­ing the days of the Natal MidlandsNetball Association under Joe Majolaand PMB­Msunduzi Municipality un­der chairman Singh, we used to haveteams and fixtures or tournamentstaking place almost every weekendor at least monthly.

We also had teams from around

the local townships like Imbali,Edendale, Sobantu, Eastwood,Northdale, Westgate and Eastwood.ECHO: Does it still happen or areyou guys active in the same way?MN: We still have teams from localcircles right up to the regional level. Imust point though that we don’t re­ally play or have tournaments everyweekend, but we are active. It is im­possible to play every weekendbecause we lack funds. In fact wedon’t have an official sponsor forlocal netball.Echo: What exactly is the positionof local netball — would you say it isgood, battling or there is a room forimprovement?MN: We are doing good, especiallywhen it comes to developing or rais­ing the bar of the game. We enjoy agood relationship with the majorityof local schools.

Echo: What do you think is stillneeded to take the local game tothe next level?MN: We honestly need more trainingof our coaches or officials to getproper papers for the game. So faronly passion is pushing most of us.The other big problem that is affect­ing netball in a big way is that thereare no netball facilities within theMsunduzi Municipality and to hireprivate ones is very expensive.Echo: We are already in the middleof the year. Are there any eventsthat are being staged by Mgungund­lovu at the moment?MN: Yes, we held a couple of eventto mark the start of the new seasonand to conduct selection of differentage groups.Echo: Are there any on going devel­opment programmes?MN: Yes, as I earlier said we enjoy a

good relationship with local schools.Most of our senior players are work­ing with local schools as develop­ment officers or trainers.

Those players are active in areassuch as Northdale, Sweetwaters, Im­bali, University of KZN and DUT.Echo: How many players are cur­rently involved with provincial or na­tional teams?MN: There are a couple of playersfrom Mgungundlovu that are regu­lars in the provincial teams and alsoat the national level. The likes ofBongiwe Msomi, Skhokho Shezi,Khaliphi Gebisela, Mitchel Segal,Minky Moahlali, Fezeka Gambusheand Precious Mthembu.Echo: I know that the Departmentof Sports and Recretaion always playa very important role in the game,can you explain this.MN: Yes, DSR are always on boardand positively support us in manyways. They help us with equipment,guidance, training, workshops, trans­port and accomodation when travel­ling.Echo: Finally, do you think the fu­ture of netball in Mgungundlovu isbright and on the right track?MN: We are doing fairly well, I meanfor our players to be regulars in theprovincial and national teams,speaks volumes about the localgame.

KZN is currently hosting a nation­al tournament this week at Durban’sHoy Park for the U19 and U21 (fe­males and males).

It started on Monday and will bewrapped up on Saturday 12 July .

Sunfoil tournament reveals new talentA TOTAL of 72 of KwaZulu­Natal’s mostpromising young cricketers were select­ed for six teams making up the eliteSunfoil development squad at the con­clusion of this year’s Sunfoil TownshipTournament.

This has paved the way for the de­velopment of the great talents of thefuture for both the province and SouthAfrica.

The tournament, which took placeat Hilton College from 1 to 4 July, is akey element of a successful develop­ment programme run by the KwaZulu­Natal Cricket Union (KZNCU) and Wil­lowton Group, manufacturers of Sun­foil cooking oil.

It provides disadvantaged young­sters within the coaching programmethe opportunity of showcasing theirtalent in a competitive match environ­ment.

Over four days, 300 young cricket­ers from KZN, Gauteng, border, Griqua­land West and Western Province, divid­ed into 24 teams of 12, played 49matches in a T20 format.

The ultimate goal of all participants

was to be selected for the elite Sunfoildevelopment teams with a view to be­ing considered for the Dolphins Acade­my in the future.

TheU15andu19SunfoilXIInvitationteam was announced at the conclusionof the tournament and these teamsplayed against the Sunfoil XI Guest

team.Shoaib Moosa, sales and marketing

director of Willowton Group said: “TheSunfoil Township Tournament, which isintegral to the overall township devel­opment programme has come a longway over the past seven years.

“The township development pro­gramme is contributing to CricketSouth Africa’s vision of cricket being atruly national sport and available to allwho want to play it and pursue excel­lence at all levels of the game,” he said.

All those involved in the tourna­ment this year have commented on thesignificant improvement in the stand­ard of cricket being played.

In addition to the players of the daybeingrecognisedintheU15andU19cat­egories, two promising cricketers,Banele Cele and Bayanda Gumbi havebeenawardedbursariestoattendGlen­wood Preparatory School and Maritz­burg College.

KZN Health MEC Dr. SibongiseniDhlomo attended the final day andstated that he was pleased to beamong sportsmen. — Supplied.

He presented prizes to (left)Makabongwe Ngcobo of Central, the U5 player of the tournament and(right) Siphamandla Mavanda of Western Province, the U19 player ofthe tournament. Three hundred boys from KZN, Gauteng, Border, Gri­qualand West and Western Province attended the four­day event atHilton College.

SA needs quality playersSOUTH Africans need to accept that fora country of over 50 million people weare not producing the quality of playersat top level who have the necessarytechnical skills required by major clubsand international teams.

There is something terribly wrongwith our football. We have allowed fail­ing philosophies to influence our game,eg. English.

Currently, Portugal ideas and phi­losophy have been added over andabove the German, English, Dutch andBrazilian methods and philosophies.

English football over the years hasalways valued hard work and determi­nation over technical skills and intelli­gence. We have a generation of promi­nent coaches in this country schooledin this philosophy. They receive more

time on national television and radiowhile the print media also give themhuge space for comments.

This is one of the reasons why foot­ball fans talk of big strikers and central

defenders. This is what the outdateddirect football requires.

It boggles the mind why footballleaders in a country like South Africacontinue hiring coaches indoctrinatedin the direct safety first mentality. Weare failing to learn from those liftingmajor international trophies. We haveallowed mentalities that value last­ditch crunching tackles, where the ballflies out of play and is booted into thestands instead of those that look todribble or pass to their teammates.

It should not surprise that fansspend 90 minutes singing and facingaway from the action. The develop­ment centres springing up all over

South Africa under foreign technicalinfluence is not helping our course.Philosophies, methods and develop­mentprogrammesimportedintoSouthAfrica will produce average footballers.

Children born in the southern partof Africa are not only different to Euro­peans, but also to those from otherparts of Africa.

Itwilltakeanewgenerationoflead­ership, both politically and in sports, toengage in these issues. Currently, peo­ple are obsessed with numbers gamesi.e. how many blacks are in a team in­stead of matters of training and educa­tion.

We complain that teams are toowhite while welcoming training ideasthat do not suit a black child. Unzimalo mthwalo!
