THE Minister of Basic EducationAngie Motshekga surprised teach-ers and stakeholders when shesaid the placement of teachers inthe Eastern Cape (EC) was not a
problem but unviable schools were making itseem to be a problem
Theminister spoke during theMount FrereDepartment of Educationrsquos stakeholdersmeeting at the Mount Frere town hall lastweek WednesdayShe said the challenge of lack of teachers
which other (viable) schools were faced withwas being addressed by theDepartment of Ba-sic Education in conjunctionwith the ECPro-
vincial Department of EducationShe said her department was in the process
of consolidatingunviable schools in rural are-as in order to address the problemof other (vi-able) schools which are operating withoutteachersShe said that while most schools com-
plained about the problem of a lack of teach-ers the actual problem was the fact thatteacherswereplaced inunviable schools ldquoAllsmall schools need to be closed down and thechildren from those schools must be taken toviable schoolsrdquoShe said in the Eastern Cape especially
there are a lot of unviable schools with manyteachers who should rather be placed inschools where they are neededldquoIn a school with 50 learners you need one
teacher since the Financing Model of theschool is according to learner numbers In ac-tual cases a school with fewer than 125learners should be closed downrdquoAccording to Motshekga they realise that
in some areas it would be hard to close downschools as they were built by communitymembers She said however that theywouldnot be going there to destroy the buildingsbut if the number of learners is small theywould have to take them to other schools Thebuildings would remain in the area for thecommunity to useShe also called on stakeholders and the
community as well as the leadership fromthe areas to work with the department andassist and provide guidance to the depart-ment of education

waiting for them after schoolAccording to Umzimvubu Local Municipal
Manager Thobela Nota correspondence hadbeen sent to the Defence Force since they do-nated the bridge to the communityThe General whom he spoke to asked him
to send information and promised to send ateam to come and assess the bridgeldquoThe way that bridge was built it would
need people with expertise to fix it We donrsquothave that kind of expertise within themunic-ipality as those kind of bridges are mainlybuilt by the soldiersrdquoHe said that in this financial year the mu-
nicipality had appointed a consultant to de-sign a permanent bridge with the hope thatin next yearrsquos budget they will receive fundsfor the construction of that bridge

MTHATHA-born Dj Stax released his latestalbum lsquoThe Beginningsrsquo in December lastyear This deep and soulful house music al-bum is the first ever house music album tobe released by a record label based in Mthat-ha The album features international and alsolocal artists Express reporter AYANDAMILLISA MADIKIZELA met up with thisson of the soul who now has his own recordlabel based in Mthatha
You evolved from being just a clubber toDJ eventually becoming a producer anda mentor Tell me how all this happened
Irsquove been a DJ since 1998 and I became a pro-ducer in 2009 after I was pursued by many DJswho noticed that I had a good ear for musicI was introduced to music production around2006 and then started to take that side ofthings seriously
Is there a defining moment that trig-gered you to become a producer
When Culoe De Song released his debut al-bum in 2009 I got inspired and decided to takemy music production seriously havingknown Culoe De Song for quite a while
Where do you get your inspiration foryour arrangements
I draw my inspiration from any good musiccomposition I listen to almost every genre ofmusic Deep house had always been the wayfor me and that is the sound that defines whoI am musically
Tell us about your music label and howyou are using it to promote local talent
My label is called iTouch Recordings andmy mission is to give our local artists a plat-form to be able to compete with the best inthe game I normally encourage them to keepworking smart in order for them to get theattention they deserve Irsquom currently work-ing with a number of artists locally with theaim of releasing their material digitally Irsquomalways open to give advice and help with therecordings
Where do you rate Eastern Cape on a na-tional scale when it comes to clubbingDJs and producing dance music
The Eastern Cape is one of the rich provin-ces in terms of music but one of the challen-ges we are facing is artists leaving the prov-ince and going to Gauteng for better opportu-nities This is due to a lack of support - be itfrom municipalities or government depart-ments I have made numerous attempts to in-volve the OR Tambo Municipality King Sa-batha Dalindyebo Municipality and the De-partment of Sport Recreation Arts andCulture (Mthatha) but they showed no inter-est in supporting initiatives that promote ourarts and culture They have their own peoplethat they prefer but those people donrsquot evencontribute to the love GDP boost These arethe kinds of challenges that I have experi-
enced but that wonrsquot stop me from doingwhat I love
Do you have any releases planned inthe near future Do you want to expandyour label
I have a lot of projects lined up for releasebut Irsquom not in a hurry because I believe inquality more than quantity The big projectthat Irsquom focusing on now is an album byMpeshnyk (Mpendulo Calaza) one the bestproducers in SA right now and it will be outin June Irsquom also looking at expanding thelabel and venturing into the hip hop marketas well and signing more artists
Where can people find your studioyour CDrsquos and your music online
My studio is located at Kwezi Townshipand people can call on 0739928095 for anybusiness related matters My album is avail-able at Musica countywide including Bot-swana and Namibia People in Mthatha canalso call the number provided if they wantto buy the cd or they can get it Musica atMthatha Plaza The title is DJ Stax - TheNew Beginnings
Any last words for our readersI would like to urge the readers to support
the local artists in whatever way they canI would like to also urge people to buy myalbum because it is not about me but repre-sents Mthatha and Eastern Cape as whole
I would also like to thank Media24 for theopportunity to communicate with the mas-ses

THE defending champions of the Safa SABLeague Coastal Stream 2010 Storm Break-ers beat AmaMpondo United FC by 1-0 at theNew Rest Stadium in Lusikisiki last Sunday
But because the game was played underprotest the result could change pending thedecision of the SAFA committee that will betasked with investigating the merits of thecase
The protest was launched after StormBreakers used as substitute MawethuNhlokwana a player who had played forAma-Mpondo last season He left but wasnot given clearance by the club
AmaMpondo captain Lethu Simayi con-firmed that Mawethu was a player they didnot give a clearance to He had used a differ-ent name ldquoMawethu was still their playeras he was not given clearance to play for an-other teamrdquo he said
The game between the two teams StormBreakers and AmaMpondo was tough as onboth sides the defenders were closing thestrikers quickly not giving them enoughroom to shoot the ball
During the first half Storm Breakersrsquo goal-keeper worked overtime After seeing thatthe defenders were not giving them achance the AmaMpondo strikers startedshooting from outside the eighteen area boxand those shots were stopped by the goal-keeper
AmaMpondo only have themselves toblame as during the first half of the gamethey had excellent chances to score but theyfailed to capitalize on them
In the second half they were not given achance to do as they had done in the first halfas this time around Storm Breakers were allover their backline and midfielders ndash untilthe AmaMpondo captain when trying tocontrol the ball stepped on the foot of theBreakers player and the referee gave Break-ers a free kick
Storm Breakersrsquo defender Mlungisi shotthe ball which was outside the eighteen areastraight to the poles The AmaMpondo Unit-ed goalkeeper was unable to stop the shotwhich was too fast for him and which gavethem the lead
Towards the dying minutes of the game
AmaMpondo tried everything to get theequalizer but unfortunately the backline forthe Storm Breakers was equal to the task andprotected their lead
In another game that was played earlier onIqhayiya FC beat FCPV FC 3-0 All the goalswere scored during the first half Odwa Gang-alazana scored twice and Odidi Mbiyose once

MTHATHA-born Dj Stax released his latestalbum lsquoThe Beginningsrsquo in December lastyear This deep and soulful house music al-bum is the first ever house music album tobe released by a record label based in Mthat-ha The album features international and alsolocal artists Express reporter AYANDAMILLISA MADIKIZELA met up with thisson of the soul who now has his own recordlabel based in Mthatha
You evolved from being just a clubber toDJ eventually becoming a producer anda mentor Tell me how all this happened
Irsquove been a DJ since 1998 and I became a pro-ducer in 2009 after I was pursued by many DJswho noticed that I had a good ear for musicI was introduced to music production around2006 and then started to take that side ofthings seriously
Is there a defining moment that trig-gered you to become a producer
When Culoe De Song released his debut al-bum in 2009 I got inspired and decided to takemy music production seriously havingknown Culoe De Song for quite a while
Where do you get your inspiration foryour arrangements
I draw my inspiration from any good musiccomposition I listen to almost every genre ofmusic Deep house had always been the wayfor me and that is the sound that defines whoI am musically
Tell us about your music label and howyou are using it to promote local talent
My label is called iTouch Recordings andmy mission is to give our local artists a plat-form to be able to compete with the best inthe game I normally encourage them to keepworking smart in order for them to get theattention they deserve Irsquom currently work-ing with a number of artists locally with theaim of releasing their material digitally Irsquomalways open to give advice and help with therecordings
Where do you rate Eastern Cape on a na-tional scale when it comes to clubbingDJs and producing dance music
The Eastern Cape is one of the rich provin-ces in terms of music but one of the challen-ges we are facing is artists leaving the prov-ince and going to Gauteng for better opportu-nities This is due to a lack of support - be itfrom municipalities or government depart-ments I have made numerous attempts to in-volve the OR Tambo Municipality King Sa-batha Dalindyebo Municipality and the De-partment of Sport Recreation Arts andCulture (Mthatha) but they showed no inter-est in supporting initiatives that promote ourarts and culture They have their own peoplethat they prefer but those people donrsquot evencontribute to the love GDP boost These arethe kinds of challenges that I have experi-
enced but that wonrsquot stop me from doingwhat I love
Do you have any releases planned inthe near future Do you want to expandyour label
I have a lot of projects lined up for releasebut Irsquom not in a hurry because I believe inquality more than quantity The big projectthat Irsquom focusing on now is an album byMpeshnyk (Mpendulo Calaza) one the bestproducers in SA right now and it will be outin June Irsquom also looking at expanding thelabel and venturing into the hip hop marketas well and signing more artists
Where can people find your studioyour CDrsquos and your music online
My studio is located at Kwezi Townshipand people can call on 0739928095 for anybusiness related matters My album is avail-able at Musica countywide including Bot-swana and Namibia People in Mthatha canalso call the number provided if they wantto buy the cd or they can get it Musica atMthatha Plaza The title is DJ Stax - TheNew Beginnings
Any last words for our readersI would like to urge the readers to support
the local artists in whatever way they canI would like to also urge people to buy myalbum because it is not about me but repre-sents Mthatha and Eastern Cape as whole
I would also like to thank Media24 for theopportunity to communicate with the mas-ses

THE defending champions of the Safa SABLeague Coastal Stream 2010 Storm Break-ers beat AmaMpondo United FC by 1-0 at theNew Rest Stadium in Lusikisiki last Sunday
But because the game was played underprotest the result could change pending thedecision of the SAFA committee that will betasked with investigating the merits of thecase
The protest was launched after StormBreakers used as substitute MawethuNhlokwana a player who had played forAma-Mpondo last season He left but wasnot given clearance by the club
AmaMpondo captain Lethu Simayi con-firmed that Mawethu was a player they didnot give a clearance to He had used a differ-ent name ldquoMawethu was still their playeras he was not given clearance to play for an-other teamrdquo he said
The game between the two teams StormBreakers and AmaMpondo was tough as onboth sides the defenders were closing thestrikers quickly not giving them enoughroom to shoot the ball
During the first half Storm Breakersrsquo goal-keeper worked overtime After seeing thatthe defenders were not giving them achance the AmaMpondo strikers startedshooting from outside the eighteen area boxand those shots were stopped by the goal-keeper
AmaMpondo only have themselves toblame as during the first half of the gamethey had excellent chances to score but theyfailed to capitalize on them
In the second half they were not given achance to do as they had done in the first halfas this time around Storm Breakers were allover their backline and midfielders ndash untilthe AmaMpondo captain when trying tocontrol the ball stepped on the foot of theBreakers player and the referee gave Break-ers a free kick
Storm Breakersrsquo defender Mlungisi shotthe ball which was outside the eighteen areastraight to the poles The AmaMpondo Unit-ed goalkeeper was unable to stop the shotwhich was too fast for him and which gavethem the lead
Towards the dying minutes of the game
AmaMpondo tried everything to get theequalizer but unfortunately the backline forthe Storm Breakers was equal to the task andprotected their lead
In another game that was played earlier onIqhayiya FC beat FCPV FC 3-0 All the goalswere scored during the first half Odwa Gang-alazana scored twice and Odidi Mbiyose once

Something has gone wrong with thestructure as it is hanging at an angle forc-ing people to hold onto the sides to be ableto cross itAn 81 year-old resident Mangwanya Gug-
wana who was busy crossing the bridgewhen the Express arrived to have a look atthe situation said she prays to God to pro-tect her all thewayuntil she reaches the oth-er side of the bridgeldquoI am fortunate because I donrsquot have to
cross this bridge everyday Butwhat about theschool childrenwho cross it everyday and peo-ple who are going to the clinicrdquo she saidWard 2 councillor Loyiso Mwezulu said

waiting for them after schoolAccording to Umzimvubu Local Municipal
Manager Thobela Nota correspondence hadbeen sent to the Defence Force since they do-nated the bridge to the communityThe General whom he spoke to asked him
to send information and promised to send ateam to come and assess the bridgeldquoThe way that bridge was built it would

nicipality had appointed a consultant to de-sign a permanent bridge with the hope thatin next yearrsquos budget they will receive fundsfor the construction of that bridge

MTHATHA-born Dj Stax released his latestalbum lsquoThe Beginningsrsquo in December lastyear This deep and soulful house music al-bum is the first ever house music album tobe released by a record label based in Mthat-ha The album features international and alsolocal artists Express reporter AYANDAMILLISA MADIKIZELA met up with thisson of the soul who now has his own recordlabel based in Mthatha
You evolved from being just a clubber toDJ eventually becoming a producer anda mentor Tell me how all this happened
Irsquove been a DJ since 1998 and I became a pro-ducer in 2009 after I was pursued by many DJswho noticed that I had a good ear for musicI was introduced to music production around2006 and then started to take that side ofthings seriously
Is there a defining moment that trig-gered you to become a producer
When Culoe De Song released his debut al-bum in 2009 I got inspired and decided to takemy music production seriously havingknown Culoe De Song for quite a while
Where do you get your inspiration foryour arrangements
I draw my inspiration from any good musiccomposition I listen to almost every genre ofmusic Deep house had always been the wayfor me and that is the sound that defines whoI am musically
Tell us about your music label and howyou are using it to promote local talent
My label is called iTouch Recordings andmy mission is to give our local artists a plat-form to be able to compete with the best inthe game I normally encourage them to keepworking smart in order for them to get theattention they deserve Irsquom currently work-ing with a number of artists locally with theaim of releasing their material digitally Irsquomalways open to give advice and help with therecordings
Where do you rate Eastern Cape on a na-tional scale when it comes to clubbingDJs and producing dance music
The Eastern Cape is one of the rich provin-ces in terms of music but one of the challen-ges we are facing is artists leaving the prov-ince and going to Gauteng for better opportu-nities This is due to a lack of support - be itfrom municipalities or government depart-ments I have made numerous attempts to in-volve the OR Tambo Municipality King Sa-batha Dalindyebo Municipality and the De-partment of Sport Recreation Arts andCulture (Mthatha) but they showed no inter-est in supporting initiatives that promote ourarts and culture They have their own peoplethat they prefer but those people donrsquot evencontribute to the love GDP boost These arethe kinds of challenges that I have experi-
enced but that wonrsquot stop me from doingwhat I love
Do you have any releases planned inthe near future Do you want to expandyour label
I have a lot of projects lined up for releasebut Irsquom not in a hurry because I believe inquality more than quantity The big projectthat Irsquom focusing on now is an album byMpeshnyk (Mpendulo Calaza) one the bestproducers in SA right now and it will be outin June Irsquom also looking at expanding thelabel and venturing into the hip hop marketas well and signing more artists
Where can people find your studioyour CDrsquos and your music online
My studio is located at Kwezi Townshipand people can call on 0739928095 for anybusiness related matters My album is avail-able at Musica countywide including Bot-swana and Namibia People in Mthatha canalso call the number provided if they wantto buy the cd or they can get it Musica atMthatha Plaza The title is DJ Stax - TheNew Beginnings
Any last words for our readersI would like to urge the readers to support
the local artists in whatever way they canI would like to also urge people to buy myalbum because it is not about me but repre-sents Mthatha and Eastern Cape as whole
I would also like to thank Media24 for theopportunity to communicate with the mas-ses

The protest was launched after StormBreakers used as substitute MawethuNhlokwana a player who had played forAma-Mpondo last season He left but wasnot given clearance by the club
AmaMpondo captain Lethu Simayi con-firmed that Mawethu was a player they didnot give a clearance to He had used a differ-ent name ldquoMawethu was still their playeras he was not given clearance to play for an-other teamrdquo he said
The game between the two teams StormBreakers and AmaMpondo was tough as onboth sides the defenders were closing thestrikers quickly not giving them enoughroom to shoot the ball
During the first half Storm Breakersrsquo goal-keeper worked overtime After seeing thatthe defenders were not giving them achance the AmaMpondo strikers startedshooting from outside the eighteen area boxand those shots were stopped by the goal-keeper
AmaMpondo only have themselves toblame as during the first half of the gamethey had excellent chances to score but theyfailed to capitalize on them
In the second half they were not given achance to do as they had done in the first halfas this time around Storm Breakers were allover their backline and midfielders ndash untilthe AmaMpondo captain when trying tocontrol the ball stepped on the foot of theBreakers player and the referee gave Break-ers a free kick
Storm Breakersrsquo defender Mlungisi shotthe ball which was outside the eighteen areastraight to the poles The AmaMpondo Unit-ed goalkeeper was unable to stop the shotwhich was too fast for him and which gavethem the lead
Towards the dying minutes of the game
AmaMpondo tried everything to get theequalizer but unfortunately the backline forthe Storm Breakers was equal to the task andprotected their lead
In another game that was played earlier onIqhayiya FC beat FCPV FC 3-0 All the goalswere scored during the first half Odwa Gang-alazana scored twice and Odidi Mbiyose once

MTHATHA-born Dj Stax released his latestalbum lsquoThe Beginningsrsquo in December lastyear This deep and soulful house music al-bum is the first ever house music album tobe released by a record label based in Mthat-ha The album features international and alsolocal artists Express reporter AYANDAMILLISA MADIKIZELA met up with thisson of the soul who now has his own recordlabel based in Mthatha
You evolved from being just a clubber toDJ eventually becoming a producer anda mentor Tell me how all this happened
Irsquove been a DJ since 1998 and I became a pro-ducer in 2009 after I was pursued by many DJswho noticed that I had a good ear for musicI was introduced to music production around2006 and then started to take that side ofthings seriously
Is there a defining moment that trig-gered you to become a producer
When Culoe De Song released his debut al-bum in 2009 I got inspired and decided to takemy music production seriously havingknown Culoe De Song for quite a while
Where do you get your inspiration foryour arrangements
I draw my inspiration from any good musiccomposition I listen to almost every genre ofmusic Deep house had always been the wayfor me and that is the sound that defines whoI am musically
Tell us about your music label and howyou are using it to promote local talent
My label is called iTouch Recordings andmy mission is to give our local artists a plat-form to be able to compete with the best inthe game I normally encourage them to keepworking smart in order for them to get theattention they deserve Irsquom currently work-ing with a number of artists locally with theaim of releasing their material digitally Irsquomalways open to give advice and help with therecordings
Where do you rate Eastern Cape on a na-tional scale when it comes to clubbingDJs and producing dance music
The Eastern Cape is one of the rich provin-ces in terms of music but one of the challen-ges we are facing is artists leaving the prov-ince and going to Gauteng for better opportu-nities This is due to a lack of support - be itfrom municipalities or government depart-ments I have made numerous attempts to in-volve the OR Tambo Municipality King Sa-batha Dalindyebo Municipality and the De-partment of Sport Recreation Arts andCulture (Mthatha) but they showed no inter-est in supporting initiatives that promote ourarts and culture They have their own peoplethat they prefer but those people donrsquot evencontribute to the love GDP boost These arethe kinds of challenges that I have experi-
enced but that wonrsquot stop me from doingwhat I love
Do you have any releases planned inthe near future Do you want to expandyour label
I have a lot of projects lined up for releasebut Irsquom not in a hurry because I believe inquality more than quantity The big projectthat Irsquom focusing on now is an album byMpeshnyk (Mpendulo Calaza) one the bestproducers in SA right now and it will be outin June Irsquom also looking at expanding thelabel and venturing into the hip hop marketas well and signing more artists
Where can people find your studioyour CDrsquos and your music online
My studio is located at Kwezi Townshipand people can call on 0739928095 for anybusiness related matters My album is avail-able at Musica countywide including Bot-swana and Namibia People in Mthatha canalso call the number provided if they wantto buy the cd or they can get it Musica atMthatha Plaza The title is DJ Stax - TheNew Beginnings

the local artists in whatever way they canI would like to also urge people to buy myalbum because it is not about me but repre-sents Mthatha and Eastern Cape as whole
I would also like to thank Media24 for theopportunity to communicate with the mas-ses

THE defending champions of the Safa SABLeague Coastal Stream 2010 Storm Break-ers beat AmaMpondo United FC by 1-0 at theNew Rest Stadium in Lusikisiki last Sunday
But because the game was played underprotest the result could change pending thedecision of the SAFA committee that will betasked with investigating the merits of thecase
The protest was launched after StormBreakers used as substitute MawethuNhlokwana a player who had played forAma-Mpondo last season He left but wasnot given clearance by the club
AmaMpondo captain Lethu Simayi con-firmed that Mawethu was a player they didnot give a clearance to He had used a differ-ent name ldquoMawethu was still their playeras he was not given clearance to play for an-other teamrdquo he said
The game between the two teams StormBreakers and AmaMpondo was tough as onboth sides the defenders were closing thestrikers quickly not giving them enoughroom to shoot the ball
During the first half Storm Breakersrsquo goal-keeper worked overtime After seeing thatthe defenders were not giving them achance the AmaMpondo strikers startedshooting from outside the eighteen area boxand those shots were stopped by the goal-keeper
AmaMpondo only have themselves toblame as during the first half of the gamethey had excellent chances to score but theyfailed to capitalize on them
In the second half they were not given achance to do as they had done in the first halfas this time around Storm Breakers were allover their backline and midfielders ndash untilthe AmaMpondo captain when trying tocontrol the ball stepped on the foot of theBreakers player and the referee gave Break-ers a free kick
Storm Breakersrsquo defender Mlungisi shotthe ball which was outside the eighteen areastraight to the poles The AmaMpondo Unit-ed goalkeeper was unable to stop the shotwhich was too fast for him and which gavethem the lead
Towards the dying minutes of the game
AmaMpondo tried everything to get theequalizer but unfortunately the backline forthe Storm Breakers was equal to the task andprotected their lead
In another game that was played earlier onIqhayiya FC beat FCPV FC 3-0 All the goalswere scored during the first half Odwa Gang-alazana scored twice and Odidi Mbiyose once

MTHATHA-born Dj Stax released his latestalbum lsquoThe Beginningsrsquo in December lastyear This deep and soulful house music al-bum is the first ever house music album tobe released by a record label based in Mthat-ha The album features international and alsolocal artists Express reporter AYANDAMILLISA MADIKIZELA met up with thisson of the soul who now has his own recordlabel based in Mthatha
You evolved from being just a clubber toDJ eventually becoming a producer anda mentor Tell me how all this happened
Irsquove been a DJ since 1998 and I became a pro-ducer in 2009 after I was pursued by many DJswho noticed that I had a good ear for musicI was introduced to music production around2006 and then started to take that side ofthings seriously
Is there a defining moment that trig-gered you to become a producer
When Culoe De Song released his debut al-bum in 2009 I got inspired and decided to takemy music production seriously havingknown Culoe De Song for quite a while
Where do you get your inspiration foryour arrangements
I draw my inspiration from any good musiccomposition I listen to almost every genre ofmusic Deep house had always been the wayfor me and that is the sound that defines whoI am musically
Tell us about your music label and howyou are using it to promote local talent
My label is called iTouch Recordings andmy mission is to give our local artists a plat-form to be able to compete with the best inthe game I normally encourage them to keepworking smart in order for them to get theattention they deserve Irsquom currently work-ing with a number of artists locally with theaim of releasing their material digitally Irsquomalways open to give advice and help with therecordings
Where do you rate Eastern Cape on a na-tional scale when it comes to clubbingDJs and producing dance music
The Eastern Cape is one of the rich provin-ces in terms of music but one of the challen-ges we are facing is artists leaving the prov-ince and going to Gauteng for better opportu-nities This is due to a lack of support - be itfrom municipalities or government depart-ments I have made numerous attempts to in-volve the OR Tambo Municipality King Sa-batha Dalindyebo Municipality and the De-partment of Sport Recreation Arts andCulture (Mthatha) but they showed no inter-est in supporting initiatives that promote ourarts and culture They have their own peoplethat they prefer but those people donrsquot evencontribute to the love GDP boost These arethe kinds of challenges that I have experi-
enced but that wonrsquot stop me from doingwhat I love
Do you have any releases planned inthe near future Do you want to expandyour label
I have a lot of projects lined up for releasebut Irsquom not in a hurry because I believe inquality more than quantity The big projectthat Irsquom focusing on now is an album byMpeshnyk (Mpendulo Calaza) one the bestproducers in SA right now and it will be outin June Irsquom also looking at expanding thelabel and venturing into the hip hop marketas well and signing more artists
Where can people find your studioyour CDrsquos and your music online
My studio is located at Kwezi Townshipand people can call on 0739928095 for anybusiness related matters My album is avail-able at Musica countywide including Bot-swana and Namibia People in Mthatha canalso call the number provided if they wantto buy the cd or they can get it Musica atMthatha Plaza The title is DJ Stax - TheNew Beginnings
Any last words for our readersI would like to urge the readers to support
the local artists in whatever way they canI would like to also urge people to buy myalbum because it is not about me but repre-sents Mthatha and Eastern Cape as whole
I would also like to thank Media24 for theopportunity to communicate with the mas-ses

THE defending champions of the Safa SABLeague Coastal Stream 2010 Storm Break-ers beat AmaMpondo United FC by 1-0 at theNew Rest Stadium in Lusikisiki last Sunday
But because the game was played underprotest the result could change pending thedecision of the SAFA committee that will betasked with investigating the merits of thecase
The protest was launched after StormBreakers used as substitute MawethuNhlokwana a player who had played forAma-Mpondo last season He left but wasnot given clearance by the club
AmaMpondo captain Lethu Simayi con-firmed that Mawethu was a player they didnot give a clearance to He had used a differ-ent name ldquoMawethu was still their playeras he was not given clearance to play for an-other teamrdquo he said
The game between the two teams StormBreakers and AmaMpondo was tough as onboth sides the defenders were closing thestrikers quickly not giving them enoughroom to shoot the ball
During the first half Storm Breakersrsquo goal-keeper worked overtime After seeing thatthe defenders were not giving them achance the AmaMpondo strikers startedshooting from outside the eighteen area boxand those shots were stopped by the goal-keeper
AmaMpondo only have themselves toblame as during the first half of the gamethey had excellent chances to score but theyfailed to capitalize on them
In the second half they were not given achance to do as they had done in the first halfas this time around Storm Breakers were allover their backline and midfielders ndash untilthe AmaMpondo captain when trying tocontrol the ball stepped on the foot of theBreakers player and the referee gave Break-ers a free kick
Storm Breakersrsquo defender Mlungisi shotthe ball which was outside the eighteen areastraight to the poles The AmaMpondo Unit-ed goalkeeper was unable to stop the shotwhich was too fast for him and which gavethem the lead
Towards the dying minutes of the game
AmaMpondo tried everything to get theequalizer but unfortunately the backline forthe Storm Breakers was equal to the task andprotected their lead
In another game that was played earlier onIqhayiya FC beat FCPV FC 3-0 All the goalswere scored during the first half Odwa Gang-alazana scored twice and Odidi Mbiyose once
