A heated argument between a daugh-­ter (21) and her father (58) allegedly led to the daughter strangling her father to death early on Monday morning.

She is now is facing a charge of murder.

The two stayed together in the house in Mame-­lodi East.

It is alleged that the deceased had an intense argument with his daughter before going to bed on Sunday evening.

According to the Mamelodi East police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Michael Mbewe: “The father and daugh-­ter had an argument before they went to

bed. The argument was so intense that the daughter sneaked into her father’s bedroom and killed him in his sleep. She then phoned her sister and told her what she had done.”

“The police were alerted and upon ar-­rival at the scene, they found the deceased dead in his bedroom and arrested the sus-­pect on the spot,” said Mbewe.

Mbewe added that the motive for the killing is still unknown and

investigations are continuing.The suspect will soon appear in the

Mamelodi Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder.

Community members of Mamelo-­di, members of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) military veterans association and the Tshwane metro attended the reburial service of the late Patrick Martin Mahlangu on October 15.

The service started at his home in Mamelodi West section B1 and com-­menced to the Mamelodi community hall and his body was finally buried at the Heatherly cemetery in Hans Strijdom Drive.

Mahlangu was buried in a pau-­per’s grave in Soshanguve cemetery in 1986. His remains were exhumed and identified by the missing per-­son’s task team earlier this year.

Mahlangu was born on Au-­ gust 26, 1957 in Mamelodi.

He worked at Siemens in Koedoespoort and was a shop stew-­ard in the union’s structure as well as being active in the association and youth structures.

Patrick became active in MK structures in Mamelodi and came to the attention of the Northern Trans-­vaal branch of the security police.

He disappeared from his Mame-­lodi home on the night of March 18, 1986, when men pretending to be MK cadres, came for him.

He was never seen again.Testimony given during the

TRC process revealed that he was murdered by the Northern Transvaal security police and his body blown up next to a railway line, to give the impression that he had accidentally blown himself up while trying to plant explosives on the railway line.

The South African community can play a meaningful role in assisting the people of Somalia who are stricken by hunger and poverty.

The South African Red Cross Society’s

(Sarcs) communication and marketing manager, Janine Mosetlhi, revealed this af-­ter Sarcs hosted the meeting to discuss the update on the Red Cross Crescent interven-­tion in Somalia and the Horn of Africa.

The meeting, attended by community and business organisations, was held at

Sarcs in Hatfield last Monday.Countries found in the Horn of Africa

include Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Uganda Kenya and Somalia.

Mosetlhi said the meeting was a curtail in making various community and busi-­ness organisations aware of the situation in African countries, to be able to make an informed decision, when they decide to as-­sist affected countries in whatever way.

“The meeting concluded that there is a sudden drastic decrease of media reports about Somalia, however, that does not constitute that the situation in Somalia has become better.

“In fact, the situation is worse. People of Somalia suffer from hunger and what makes matters worse is that countries in the Horn of Africa are stricken by a severe drought that began in October last year, leaving the population without the option of embarking on agriculture to survive,” said Mosetlhi. She added that if South Afri-­cans are aware of the situation in Somalia they could be made aware of how to handle foreigners, who are in our country to find life, accordingly.

Mosetlhi said the International Federa-­ tion of Red Cross Crescent Societies (IFRC), who belong to the Red Cross Cres-­cent Movement, has been supporting the national societies in the Horn of Africa.

“The IFRC and its member national societies are working to address the emer-­gency needs of the drought that is affecting

the population in this geographic area.National societies like Sarcs have part-­

nered with the South African public and corporates such as Vodacom to raise money to support the movement’s intervention,” said Mosetlhi.

Annick Bouvier, International Commit-­tee of the Red Cross (ICRC) deputy head of delegation in the Pretoria region, said the Pretoria region of the ICRC has worked with the Somali Red Crescent to address the humanitarian crisis.

“We have distributed food with the aim of assisting some 1,1 million drought and war affected people across the hardest hit areas of southern and central Somalia.

The first round of distribution took place in the Gedo region and other areas.

In Gedo, 72 000 people were provided with enough beans, oil and rice to cover the need for one month.

Several more rounds are planned to take place until December,” said Bouvier.

Mthobeli Tengimfene, Vodacom execu-­tive head of corporate social responsibili-­ty, also attended and said Vodacom took pleasure in commending the high number of subscribers who accepted the invitation to join the company in raising money via its SMS platform, towards the plight of the Somalian citizens.

“The R100 000 raised from subscriber donations helped raise the total contribu-­tion that has been channelled via the Sarcs to R500 000,” said Tengimfene.

The Mamelodi police cluster is looking for Tshepo Qobela (26) with regard to a rape case that was wrongfully removed from the court roll.

The court subsequently re-­issued a warrant of arrest for his arrest.

This comes after Qobela allegedly attacked a female aged 19, while she was on her way home from the ga-­rage shop on June 5 at 19:00.

He allegedly raped her in Sinoville that falls under the Mamelodi cluster.

The victim screamed and residents caught the suspect with the help of the police.

According to Captain Johannes Maheso the case was wrongly removed from the court roll and the suspect released.

The court has now re-­issued a warrant of arrest

against the suspect. The suspect’s whereabouts

is currently unknown. He stayed in Doornpoort, north of Pretoria. The suspect is a Lesotho national and speaks South Sotho.

The police appeal to members of the community to assist them with informa-­tion on his whereabouts.

Enquiries: The police on 10111.

President Jacob Zuma described children as very honest people who raise issues in a genuine manner.

Msholozi made this remark during the occasion where he was presented with the book titled Children’s letter to the Presi-dent by Dr Mukanda Mulemfo, together with primary school pupils at the presi-­dential guesthouse last week Thursday.

The book, edited by Mulemfo, comprises of 165 letters, which have been written by primary school pupils to president Zuma. The pupils who wrote the letters are from grade 5 to 7 and they are aged from 10 to 13.

Some of the letters deal with general issues such as healthcare, housing, crime and unemployment.

In many of the letters they do not only voice their concerns but also offer diffe-­rent solutions as to how government can tackle the country’s challenges.

Other pupils even raised problems related to service delivery in their own home areas.

Eurica Masinga (11) wrote: “We are currently staying in a rural area. We don’t have proper roads and we also don’t have proper toilets and no electricity. We are struggling to get clean water too. As a community we would like to ask that you please build a community hall. Also we need a high school as we don’t have one at the moment.”

Children also wrote on social issues such as racism, xenophobia and protec-­ting the environment.

Some letters even ask the president

about his personal life and family.One such is Gawie Roux (10) who

asks the president if he enjoys being the president of the county, what he does everyday, when does he play with his children and does he help them with their homework.

“Children are very honest people. They raise issues in a genuine manner and it is important that adults and leaders listen to what they have to say. That they wrote to the president of the country shows they have faith that their problems and those of the country can and will be solved. We will not fail these children,” said president Zuma.

He added that he is happy that some of the issues the children have raised are the issues that government is working hard on, such as unemployment, improving education and the health care system and fighting crime. He said he is also happy that the children who are our future lea-­ders are playing an active part in building the country. He promised to encourage all leaders from ministers, premiers, mayors and councillors to read the book so they can hear what the little ones have to say about how to improve the country.

Mulemfo said he has learned through children’s letters that children are intel-­ligent and socially conscious.

“We should never undermine children, as they know what is going on in our country,” said Molemfo.

He added that the tone in the let-­ters strongly demonstrates the respect that children have for the president, the government and the hope they have for South Africa with a bright future.

The doctors said he would not make it until the end of the year, unless Rindani Calvin Maimane gets a bone marrow donor as soon as possible.

Rindani (12) was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia leukaemia in January this year. Rindani is blood type B-­plus and desperately needs a donor.

According to his mother, Myroon Maimane, she can’t afford to pay the hospital bill and she already owes the hospital more than R22 000.

Her son bleeds continuously and spends weeks in the hospital.

Myroon said her son had to drop out of school this year because of his illness and she also can’t find a job, because nobody can look after her son.

My son has already survived three operations since the beginning of this year. Every time Rindani starts bleeding I must take him to the Tshwane District

hospital for blood transfusion.“They have already put Rindani on a

special diet and the person we depend on for food is my sister,” said Myroon.

Rindani has no blood veins, as they have collapsed and every time he goes for blood transfusion doctors use the Porth Cath through his heart, to trans-­fuse the blood to his body,” she said.

Rindani is a bright child who likes playing soccer and he is also good with drawing.

Myroon said she also joined the Tough Living with Cancer Organisation where she was taught a lot about cancer, but she is no longer able to attend the meetings because she must now stay at home to look after Rindani.

Myroon appealed to members of the community to help with food, as her son is on a special diet and he needs a bone marrow donor for a transplant as well.

Poor vision affects everyone’s quality of life.

Precious Matsoso, Director General of the Department of Health, said this at the World Sight Day celebration held at the Pretoria Eye Institute last Thursday.

Delivering the keynote address, Matsoso said poor vision affects people of all ages, pupils, those in the workforce and many others.

“Poor vision hampers pupils to learn effectively, those in the work force unable to remain economical productive and the elderly cannot maintain their independence. Everyone’s quality of life is affected,” said Matsoso.

She congratulated the Pretoria Eye In-­stitute for selecting the theme, Delivering Eye Care to the Communities, which was chosen by South Africa for the 2011 Eye Care Awareness Month and World Sight Day activities, in celebration of World Sight Day.

Matsoso mentioned that cataracts, glau-­ coma, childhood blindness, diabetic reti-­nopathy and refractive errors are the six causes of blindness. She added that 80% of all blindness is preventable.

“Primary prevention includes health education, immunisation, maternal child health services and safety promotion. It comprises a major component of primary health care,” she said.

It seems the private sector is also hands on in giving vision to the community.

From October 10 to 14, the Pretoria Eye Institute performed cataract surgery on 400 needy patients.

The referral was based on patients that are not on medical aid and are pensioners.

A large number of referrals were from the local, provincial and academic hospi-­tals.

Dr Jacobus Pauw, chairperson of the organising committee of the Pretoria Eye Institute, thanked members of the commit-­tee and the staff who played various roles to make the project a success.

A group of South Africans last week joined the international lobby for the release of five Cuban nationals held by the American government.

Angry members of Friends of the Cuban Society (Focus) took to Pretoria’s streets to demand the immediate and unconditional release of the five ‘Cuban patriots’ held by the American government.

According to the secretary general of Focus, Chris Matlhako, five Cuban counter terrorism patriots were arrested in America, convicted and given extremely harsh sen-­tences by the “politically biased American justice system, serving the interest of the Miami-based Cuban mafia”.

Focus, supported by the SACP, ANC, Cosatu, Sanco, YCL, ANCYL, ANCWL and SACC, marched to the American em-­bassy in Arcadia, where they handed over a memorandum last Friday.

Matlhako claimed for 50 years Cuba has been victim of sustained criminal and terrorist campaigns, “organised and directed by the exiled Cuban mafia, based in Miami”.

He claimed the American government supports the Cuban mafia.

“Cuba has a right to employ all reaso-­nable means at its disposal to defend its sovereignty and to combat the terrorist ac-­tivities of the Miami-based Cuban mafia.”

On the memorandum, Focus stated they believe that the contribution of Cuba to the liberation of the people of Africa was vital and based on selfless and principled internationalism.

They said the Cuban revolution and its achievements, particularly in terms of the defence of national sovereignty, interna-­tionalism, education, health, social services and participatory democracy, serve as a model and an inspiration for oppressed people all over the world.

It is also their belief that it is the duty and responsibility of all progressive forces to support the struggle of the Cuban people to defend their sovereignty and the remark-­able achievements of their revolution.

Focus blamed the United Nations (UN) of having undemocratic structures like the security council, which they claim remains the single most important world authority on international and regulating relations of national states.

They said UN decisions of the general assembly are binding by law to all national states regardless of military power or wealth.

America differs with what Focus is de-­manding and believes that Focus does not have accurate facts on the matter.

Spokesperson of the American Diplo-­matic Mission to South Africa, Elizabeth Trudeau, said as a democracy, America supports the right of all South Africans to express their opinion.

“We respect the opinions of the Fo-­cus group and forwarded their petition to Washington immediately after it was received.

“It is also important to note that the so-­called Cuban Five, tried and convicted in a UN Federal Court, are not political prisoners,” said Trudeau.

She added that one of the so-­called Cuban Five, Rene Gonzalez, was sentenced to 15 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release by the United States District Court judge who presided at his trial.

Trudeau said with credit for good be-­haviour, the supervised release phase of his sentence will now commence.

“His motion to serve that phase in Cuba was denied by the sentencing judge,” said Trudeau.

She added the visa for Gonzalez’s moth-­er was issued on October 5 and Gonzales is currently with his family in America.

For Tyson Chauke there is no other job except selling food spi-­ces for residents of Mamelodi.

Chauke is a well-­known resi-­dent all over Mamelodi. He sells food spices and calls his custo-­mers by whistling the whole day.

The 51-year-old ‘whistle’ man said he started his business 30 years ago.

He looks after his family by selling spices.

Chauke’s uncle taught him about spices 30 years ago and he has never looked back.

The whistle man stays in Mamelodi East Extension 6. He walks all day from Mamelodi East in Mandela Village to Mamelodi West selling spices.

He sells all sorts of food spices ranging from chicken spices, BBQ, curry powder, white and black pepper and more.

“Business is not always good, but you must have passion in everything you do,” he said.

Chauke wants to encourage the youth of Mamelodi to attend school, as education is the key to success. The youth must also respect their parents as well as their teachers.

He strongly advised the youth of Mamelodi to stay away from drugs and participate in sport ac-­tivities and not waste their talents.

Roman Catholic Church mem-­ bers from around Mabopane, Ma-­melodi, Soshanguve, Hebron and Ga-Rankuwa flocked to St Clare Catholic Church in Soshanguve Block GG on Sunday to witness the Macecelia choir performing on stage.

Macecelia choir comes from Our Lady of Africa Catholic Church in Mohlakeng in the Jo-­ hannesburg diocese and they per-­ formed for the first time since they released their first album called Lejoe.

This choir has more than 100 members who belong to the sodality of Saint Cecelia in Mohlakeng.

First on stage was Macecelia who sang Lejoe and the crowd stood up and started singing with the choir.

According to the conductor and music composer, Lebohang Ma-­bea, the choir is dedicated to sing and praise God with their songs.

“Our patron in this choir is Saint Cecelia who is the patron of musicians and church music,” said Mabea.

Some of the choirs that shared

the stage with Macecelia included St Clare Youth, St Clare Church Choir, St Anne’s Youth Choir from Atteridgeville, Soshanguve South Choir and The One from Klipgat.

Audiences couldn’t stop ap-­plauding when St Clare, conduc-­ted by Vusi Nhlapho, sang Inkuzi enjani. St Clare Youth Choir also showed the audience how it is done when they performed a song called Retlile.

The concert was packed with lots of entertainment and fun for the audience who had the op-­portunity to choose songs they wanted the choirs to perform.

The majority of the guests requested Macecelia to perform Lejoe. “Everyone is requesting Lejoe and we are happy they ap-­preciate our music,” said Mabea.

The highlight of the day for the audience was when a member of the audience requested the parish priest of St Clare, Father Joseph Molapo, to join Macecelia on stage and sing the song Alleluia with them.

The priest co-­operated and sang with pride and joy and youth members couldn’t stop applau-­ding their priest.

He made waves in his recent interview on 5FM and his music is well received among the black and white urban youth in South Africa.

This is the man whose star is on the rise as far as music is

concerned. Born and raised in Atteridge-­

ville, Clement Chabangu who is popularly known as ‘Skillo’ to his fans, started off as a vocalist rather than the hip-­hop star he is today.

“I realised I had a passion for music in 1995. I was in primary

school and it was an awards eve-­ning where I sang in a musical group that night. Ever since then I have not looked back,” said Skillo.

Skillo told Rekord that he star-­ted out as an RNB vocalist and did a tour with the award winning RNB group Khalil for a year.

“I just felt that RNB was a bit soft, not that I was angry but I wanted something with a wide range of expressions,” said the Atteridgeville star.

Skillo was influenced by the sounds of Bongo Muffin and Skeem. He has now released a 19-­track album, which features the song Ayoba chomi that every-­one talks about.

When Skillo is not in the studio recording, he runs an entertain-­ment company called Three Doors. They host hip-­hop events once a month at Café Karisma in Atteridgeville.

“I am in the process of shoo-­ting a video for Ayoba chomi and have been doing cameo roles for some of the finest hip-hop artists in South Africa,” said Skillo.

He quit his office job because it was not fulfilling and he found himself writing lyrics during of-­fice hours.

“I live and breathe music, it’s my forte and I needed to give it my undivided attention, so I quit my job to focus on what really fulfils me,” said the Ayoba chomi star. He further said that currently he is trying to learn more about music and the business side of it.

“If you don’t know the busi-­ness side of music, it is easy to get ripped off,” added Skillo.

Skillo features a lot of artists in his recent album, which include L-­Skills and Kay Songstress to mention a few.

If his music is anything to go by, this hip-­hop artist will contri-­bute to South African music and his name will be mentioned with the top local bands.

Hip-hop star on the rise

Skillo’s songs are on high rotation on most radio stations in the country and his music comes as a breath of fresh air in the hip-hop genre.

Mams FM started broadcasting earlier this year and already has 2 000 listeners.

The radio station is based at the Mahube complex and the idea for the station was conceptualised in 1995 by Lolo Mojela, who is now the station manager and Aubrey Mokgase. They formed a com-­mittee of 11 members, including David Mashabela of Radio 2000.

According to Mojela they ap-­plied for a broadcasting licence in 1996 and got it in 2000.

Due to a shortage of frequen-­cy spectrums, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) took Impact Radio’s licence and gave it to Mams FM, which is a geographic station.

According to Mojela, Impact Radio took Icasa to court and the

matter took six to seven years to complete and by then Mams FM’s licence had expired. The same committee applied for a new licence and they got it in 2009.

In 2010 the committee started looking for equipment and recei-­ved it on January 1. The station held auditions on March 26 and on April 26 Mams FM went on air.

This community radio station broadcasts in five official langua-ges including a Mamelodi lingo that suits the community.

Mojela said their mission is to empower the Mamelodi com-­munity. “We at Mams FM want to help our listeners change their activities and live healthier lives,” said Mojela.

Programmes that they broad-­cast touch on issues in the com-­munity and things that affect them on a daily basis.

Back by popular demand, Corner Street returns to the State Theatre after a successful run during the theatre’s Mzansi Fela Festival in 2010.

The play revolves around a certain community in a town-­ship called Corner Street where people live a typical vibrant, lively and unified township life.

The story is based on a character called Lavas, who maintains a false image to pro-­tect a fortune.

Corner Street highlights is-­sues of culture versus religion, politics versus heroism and most significantly that one should not judge a book by its cover.

It shows the extent to which one will go to get his or her

hands dirty for money.Sithembiso Blose, known as

Frank Whyt, directs the play.He was born in KwaMashu,

KwaZulu-­Natal. Blose graduated from Dur-­

ban University of Technology and did his internship at the South African State Theatre in 2008.

During his varsity days, Blose appeared in productions such as Modus Operandi, One of Us, Iph’ Intombi and Show Boat, to mention a few.

Blose has been working at the State Theatre as a develop-­ment co-­ordinator since 2009.

Corner Street is running at the theatre until October 23.

I wonder why my parents decided to name me Sinenhlanhla, which means, ‘we are lucky’.

Most Africans take the process of naming a newborn child very seri-­ously. You find situations where a mother gives birth to a child and has to wait for an older member of the family to come to the hospital and name the child.

My grandmother said that the Afri-­can name you give your child would have an impact on his or her life.

Some parents name their children with their current situation in mind while others name their children after their grandparents. Some name their children after the place they gave birth at. My friend gave birth to her first baby boy in Mahikeng where she was doing her internship and she named her child Maf because Ma-­

hikeng is known as Maftown.A friend of mine is named

Mantoa, which means ‘fighter’, but my friend doesn’t even like fighting.

My cousin’s name is Thulani, which means ‘be quiet’. Ironi-­cally he is very loud and talka-­

tive. When he enters a room he always has something to say. He is the complete opposite of what his name means.

Tswana names are also interesting because most of them start with the letter O and I. You will find names such as Omolemo, Oratile, Onthatile, Olebogeng, Oagile, Oaitsi, Om-­phile, Ohomoditse and many more.

Then we have Zulu names. I think somebody was trying to send a message with some of them.

Phumaphi which means, ‘where does he or she come from’, Simtho-­lile ‘we found him or her’, Simpiwe ‘we are given’, Sizani ‘help’, Kha-­lesakhe ‘he is in charge’ and Them-­

balethu ‘our hope’. My favourites are the two well-­

known Tsonga names that start with two letters Ti, Tinyinko and Tinst-­walo.

What is your name? I think this is the perfect time to find out what your name really means.

For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. (Hebrews 12:6).

People often don’t realise it when God teaches them a life lesson. Loving fathers discipline their children, so does God when it comes to us.

The Bible, however, says the fol-­lowing of those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour: When He sets you free, you are free indeed. (John 8:36). So, what is left is for you is to face life know-­

ing that God is with you and when you misbehave, like any Father, He won’t be pleased. When you do not listen, He will punish you, but lovingly so.

So next time you face a challenge, inspect yourself first, find out what you’ve been doing wrong, correct it, repent and ask for favour from God. He will forgive and forget your mistakes and return whatever things He took while you were under His correc-­tion. God created us and He knows the sincerity of our hearts. Once He sees that we have learnt from our past mistakes, He will bless us pro-­

vided that when He chastens us, we own up. We should realise that it’s Him and start working on ourselves so that He sees that we have indeed learned our lesson.

God loves you, even in tough times. Be blessed.

Mamelodi Sundowns failed to re-­claim second place in the Absa Pre-­miership standings when they drew 1-­all with Golden Arrows at the King Zwelithini stadium on Saturday.

The Brazilians took the lead in the second half with a well taken goal from Elias Pelembe before Musa Bilankulu equalised for the home side three minutes later.

In the 31st minute Sundowns had a chance to steal the lead when Mabhuti Khenyeza turned well to create some space on the edge of the

The Mid-­Gauteng Annual Inter Union Chess championships was held at the Pretoria University’s (UP) Mamelodi campus on Saturday.

The tournament started at 09:00 and ended at 18:00.

Seven unions from Gauteng and Northwest participated in the tourna-­ment. The Mid-­Gauteng Chess Union organised the tournament.

This prestigious annual tournament was hosted at the UP’s Mamelodi cam-­pus for the first time. The venue was sponsored by UP.

The Development Section players came from Mamelodi as well as from as far as Gauteng Central.

This was the first time this prestigious tournament included a development section and following its success it will remain part of the tournament in future.

The Gauteng North Chess Union ran the Development Section.

Approximately 800 provincial and 250 development players participated in the tournament.

In the primary school girls’ division, Lebogang Thongo won, while Imaraan Laurie won the boy’s division of the tournament.

Primary School teams consisting of six players each played five rounds and Sikhanyisele Primary School came first.

In the open section 17 players played five rounds and Lackson Malatjie came first.

Altus Sport supported by Youth Deve-­lopment through Football presented a youth street soccer tournament at the Rethabile sport grounds in Mamelodi in line with the United Nations Annual International Peace Day.

Eight teams of eight players from vari-­ous townships around Pretoria took part.

Representatives from the Tshwane met-­ro’s Sport and Northern Cluster of the Gau-­teng Department of Sport also attended the event. The Rethabile Youth Sport team won the tournament and each player received a gold medal.

They received three messages that came from Sepp Blatter, president of Fifa, Willi Lemke, United Nations Special Advisor on Sport Development and Peace and Joel Bouzou, president of the International

Peace and Sport Organisation. The mes-­sages were read to the players.

All participants received a certificate of participation from the United National Education, Science and Cultural Organisa-­tion and Global Peace Games Organisation.

Gert Potgieter, director of Altus Sport, was delighted with the outcome and asked the players to spread the message of respect, friendship, peace and fair play to their communities.

He thanked Youth Development through Football for having made the tournament possible and for the support of the Tshwane metro’s Sport Division and the Northern Cluster of the Gauteng Department of Sport.

The youth sport leaders and friends enjoyed the tournament and felt proud to be part of a global peace event that they say should become an annual event.

Youth players who participated in the street soccer tournament show their emotion after scoring a goal on October 13.

Anita Tshelame from Sikhayisele Primary School and Thabiso Mahlangu from Zamintuthoko Primary School play against each other during the Mid-Gauteng Annual Inter Union Chess championships held at Pretoria University, Mamelodi campus on October 15.

Mamelodi Sundown’s battle against Golden Arrows ends in a draw penalty area, but failed to trouble Helton da Rocha, as it sailed over the bar. Pelembe became more involved in the game towards the end of half time, supplying delightful crosses that Katlego Mphela should’ve benefited from.

The match was stopped momentarily five minutes after the interval due to bad light as a number of floodlights went off, but the stoppage didn’t affect the momentum of the match as both sides continued where they left off. The visitors grabbed the lead in the 54th minute when Elias Pe-­lembe turned one defender on the edge of the box before unleash-­ing a brilliant left-­footed strike

to the top right corner. The lead didn’t last long as Musa Bilankulu levelled the scores three minutes later. The tall defender got in front of Ramahlwe Mphahlele and goalkeeper, Wayne Sandilands, to meet another Nkosi corner with a powerful header.

The two sides failed to create more clear-­cut chances in the later stages of the match with both sets of defence determined to keep their goals protected.

Substitute Teko Modise had an opportunity to grab full points for Sundowns in the 84th minute when he made a strong run into the box, but the former Orlando Pirates player sent his shot wide.
