PHILIPPI: BABY IN RECOVERY AFTER RAT ATTACK

Rodents still rifeMANDLA MAHASHE

The mother of an 11-month-old baby at-tacked and bitten by rats lastweek saysthe family is still traumatised by the in-

cident.Nomfundo Nkathazo’s daugther Thandol-

wethu was rushed to the KTC Day Hospitalin Gugulethu after suffering multiple inju-ries after she was allegedly dragged andfeasted on by rats at her Philippi home onMonday 6 October.“I awoke to her cries but when I looked on

her side of the bed, I could not see her. Ilooked aroundand I sawher on the other endof the bed,” Nkathazo said.“She was bleeding and did not stop cry-

ing.”The 25-year-old mother later discovered

her child had been mauled by rodents whohave been terrorising the family formonths.“Theyhavebeenanuisance forquite some

time, but I never thought that they wouldfeed onhumanbeings.Wehardly sleep thesedays, because I’m worry about the safety ofmy baby and the eight other children in thehouse,” she said.The Nomyayi Street house is also home to

four adults.After their story appeared in a daily news-

paper, Nkathazo claims City of Cape Townofficials baited the area and the strip of landwhich had beenused as a dump site. But, shesaid, the vermin are still rife.“We still hear them at night and we don’t

turn off the lights when we sleep, becausethey are less activewhen the light is on,” shesaid.Little Thandolwethu was transferred

from KTC Day Hospital to Groote SchuurHospital where she underwent skin graftsurgery, Nkathazo said.“They bit off skin on her head, face and

some of fingers. Thiswhole situation angersme,” she fumed.Rats continue to be a problem in town-

ships, as City Vision reported on brazen ratswho attack homeowners after gaining entryinto homes.Mayoral Committee member for Health

Benedicta van Minnen said there is a gener-al increase in rodent numbers during Sep-

tember, October, March andApril. This, sheadded, is why most of the large-scale rodentbaiting of City Health occurs at these timesof the year.Van Minnen encouraged residents to re-

port infestation when they are spotted, butsaid the City cannot bait private properties.She told City Vision baiting in informal

settlements has increased over the last few

years and that City Health has made use offunding via the Expanded PublicWorks Pro-gramme to train previously unemployedpersons to distribute pamphlets and go door-to door to advise residents how to combat ro-dents.This is in addition to work done by City

staff.“Other measures that are in place include

the appointment of waste contractors to col-lect waste in both formal and informal areasthroughout the city, provision of rodent-proof dumping containers across the cityand ongoing waste management educationin schools and communities,” she said.VanMinned added that business premises

are also regularly inspected to ensure effec-tive rodent control measures.

THOBILE’S TAKEgladwell ndzube

No respect forinitiation rituals

I want you to journey with me to theworld of Ulwaluko. I want us to look athow this age old cultural tradition isslowly losing its respect.

I won’t try and be an opponent orproponent of this tradition. I questionsome of the things which are systemati-cally trying to devalue this tradition. Iwill not attempt to change your view tomine. Instead, I want to fire the question:what went wrong?

December is a busy month and most ofour boys get to go to the bush. It is a timewhere there is a glut of meat, as everyboy who is of age undertakes this passageto manhood.

Coupled with this are festivities. If youare health conscious, this is the only timeyour gym membership is stored far away.

The only guilt you may have is quicklyflushed away with the knowledge that assoon as the year starts, you will exerciseall the fat away.

For some this is true, but for others itis an uphill battle which can derail theroad to fitness.

Throughout our history the rite ofpassage has always been a dignified andrespected ritual. It is a passage that everyboy dreams of.

We used to look up to igrootman zethubecause they came back as “real men”and dignified.

You would not have any doubt that theyhave been to the bush.

Sometimes you would hear some of us

saying that when we become men, wewould like to be igrootman so and so.

Do you think young boys can say thesame these days? Going to the bush backthen was an honour for every young man.You went to polish an already earnedrespect.

I do not want to generalise but whilewriting this column, I needed to becareful to not give my opinion – which isnot necessarily what is happening. Youcan judge for yourself.

We send our boys in whatever statethey are and hope for the best. We sendthem there thinking magic or a miraclewould take place to change their behav-iour.

We have heard about so many thingshappening there and some of these turnout to be the opposite of what you expect-ed. We send them there to come backsober-minded or drug-free.

I know it is every parent’s wish tonurture good men for the future, but whatare we seeing is our tradition contaminat-ed by so many things.

Now that I have your attention, I need abreak and continue next week ndivumele-ni khendiyo hlengethisa.

I am starting to sweat because of therespect I have for this traditional herit-age. There are a couple of issues that Iwould like to bring to the fore and Iwould also like your input, so we can findsome resolutions to bring back respectand dignity.

If you feel that there is nothing wrongfeel free to say so, too.

You can send your input by emailinggndzube@yahoo.com. Your ideas mighthelp bring a change.Hayi bo qula kwedini! Nyanga’s voice is ignored

NDIKHO KWINANA

It is becoming unbear-ably precarious to livea normal day to daylife in Nyanga.

This communityhas become the play-ing ground for crimi-nals.

The populace of thearea are crying forhelp, but sadly no oneseems to be listeningto them.

Nyanga is one of thevery first black town-ships in the province.

If you compare this township, in termsof progress, to townships such as Langa,Gugulethu and even the baby, Khayelit-sha, you can evidently see that some-thing is not right.

You can see that this community hasbeen neglected.

I have lived here all my life and I cantell of very little changes.

Instead, we have noticed that levels of

crime have aggravated.Residents are becoming

really frustrated about allsorts of things – lack of serv-ice delivery; unemployment;sleeping without food and at-tending meetings with verylittle happening thereafter.

On a positive note, I wouldlike to take this moment andapplaud the youths andstructures within Nyangathat are currently runningprogrammes to uplift theyouth of this community.

An organisationcalledNyanga Safe Streets is mak-ing great strides in this com-

munity.Nyanga Community Policing Forum

needs to pull up its socks.Three more organisations doing great

work is the Safe Schools Programme atOscar Mpetha High School, NyangaCricket Club and Lagunya Rugby Club– keep up the good work. Let’s save ourcommunity. To all those I couldn’t men-tion: big up to you, too!

Social issues tackledMANDLA MAHASHE

Speaking out, getting educated and find-ing solutions to problems faced by com-munities was the order of the day whenthe Sowetan Dialogues stopped over inLanga last week.

The session, held at the Johnson Ngw-evela Hall on Thursday 9 October, wasattended by a host of locals and was host-ed by radio and TV personality, ShadowTwala. It saw a panel of academics, gov-ernment officials and business peopleaddress and interact with residents ona formal platform. It was hosted byBrand South Africa, in partnership withSowetan newspaper.

The panellists included Twala, Khay-elitsha entrepreneur Luvuyo Rani, busi-nesswoman Gerry Elsdon, UCT businesslecturer Gaotebale Nodoba, authorVangile Makwakwa and deputy direc-tor-general for Strategic Programmes tothe office of the premier, Dr LaurinePlatzky.

The event as well-received by resi-dents, who interacted with panellists byposing questions and sharing theirviews on social improvement.

Resident Mbuyiswa Dlangala, who re-cently published a book, took the oppor-

tunity to seek help and information onmean to distribute his work.

Rani, also a Brand SA ambassador,opened the evening’s discussions withan account of his first days in the busi-ness world. “When I started my busi-ness, I was selling computers from theboot of my car. Many negative thingswere said, as it was during a time schoolswere burgled all the time. Some peopleaccused me of selling stolen computers,”he recalled.

But, he noted, his belief and passionfor his product and business carried himthrough.

Silulo Technologies, which he nowruns in partnership with his brother, isthe leading computer technology compa-ny in Cape Town townships.

When one attendee asked Twala aboutthe challenges faced by township par-ents daily, Twala advised parents to in-stil morals and values in their children.

In her talk, Platzky emphasised theimportance of education.

“Attaining information makes it easi-er to help others – this was the lesson Ilearnt from my parents,” she said, add-ing that she was the first person in herfamily to further her studies at tertiarylevel.

Gugulethu: Valuable tombstone targeted

Brazen vandals destroy graveMBONGISENI MASEKO

Even the dead are not safe from the ac-tivities of unscrupulous criminals.

It might be years after the death ofher parents, but a Gugulethu woman be-lieves their souls are not at peace. This fol-lows the repeated vandalism of their finalresting place at Gugulethu Cemetery.

Nontanda Mambane (48) is seeing red af-ter brazen vandals allegedly stole the pho-tos she and her siblings had placed at theirparents’ grave. She also claims they brokethrough and stole the burglar bars safe-guarding the photos.

Mambane’s father, Nzima Matuka, diedin 1977; her mother, Alleta Matuka, died in1994. To honour her mother’s wish, theywere both buried in the same grave.

But when the Mambane siblings visitedtheir parents’ grave last year, they wereshocked to find the photos displayed attheir tombstone had been stolen, she ex-plained.

They were even more upset when theydiscovered the further vandalism of thegrave and the stolen burglar bars on theirvisit to the grave on Monday 06 October.

Mambane claimed to have overheard aman talking about the vandalism of hisparents’ tombstone at the same cemetery,while travelling in a bus one day.

This alerted the family and promptedthem to check their parents’ tombstone.

“My brother went there and found thatthe burglar bars were stolen. We want toknow who vandalised our parent’s tomb-

stone,” Mambane said.“I am heartbroken, because our late

brother put the photos on the tombstone sothat generations to come will see how ourparents looked. He also put the burglarbars on for protection. Our mother taughtus to respect the grave, but the thugs do nothave respect for it at all.”

The family members, she added, regular-ly visits the grave to speak to their parentswhen they have problems. “This gravemeans a lot to us,” she said.

Mayoral Committee member for Com-munity Services and Special Projects Be-linda Walker confirmed the City of CapeTown is aware of the incidents. The com-plaint of a vandalised memorial, she said,was brought to their attention last week.

“This is being investigated. A new secu-rity service provider has been appointed atthe Gugulethu Cemetery and they havebeen given specific site conditions relatingto regular patrols and preventing childrenfrom playing at the cemetery,” Walker ex-plained.

“City Parks is confident that this willlimit these acts of vandalism at the ceme-tery.”

Walker further cautioned residentsagainst using burglar bars or steel railingsat graves. “It is not recommended, as anymetal item has a scrap value and is vulner-able. We try to discourage people fromerecting brass plates on crosses and memo-rials as it is prone to theft,” she said.

Gugulethu police failed to respond toCity Vision’s media query.

Youths take to the streetMTHAKAZI MAKALIMA

The Outspoken Youth Initiative (OYI) havehad enough of the centre manager of the Gu-gulethu Sports Complex.

The march started at the corner of NY 1and NY7 to the Subcouncil 14 municipal of-fice.

The protesting group handed over a mem-orandum of concerns to City of Cape Townofficial, Thabo Bidla.

The organisation, which comprises youthmusicians and sport players from Gugu-lethu, handed over a list of concerns againstcentre manager, Monwabisi Planga.

Their complaints included allegationsthat Planga is not performing his duty ascentre manager and concerns that growth ofsport is being stifled as a result of the facilityalways being shut.

They also claim that despite the communi-ty having a state-of-the-art facility, they are

not allowed to use the facility.“It’s October, but the swimming pool is

still closed and we don’t know why peopleare not being allowed to swim,” said OYI me-member Vincent Ntunja.

“Kids can’t be taught how to swim so theymay participate in the sport competitively.”

OYI, established in 2008, is a youth com-munity organisation.

Together with sporting codes such as bas-ketball, handball, badminton, soccer, bath-house users and swimmers, they youths usethe facility for recreational and competitiveuse.

They also say there is a lack of resourcesand sporting equipment at the facility.“There is no communication with the sport-ing codes using the centre,” Ntunja said.

“Planga must be removed with immediateeffect.”City Vision attempted to gain comment

from local ward councillor Luvuyo Zondani,but was not able to do so at the time of goingto print.

The White House structure was initially envisaged as an office for the local Ward Councillorand a community meeting room. The structure was vandalised and there were seriouscommunity difficulties at the time of the implementation of the project which causedsignificant delays and damages. The City of Cape Town has therefore organized a publicmeeting to resolve the matter in order for the White House Project to be finalized.

These possible solutions will be presented at an open-day session where affected membersof the public are invited to attend and obtain additional information and submit comments.

Abass Ma­Azu (27) started a booming business of making African print basg which are selling like hotcakes. PHOTO: LULEKWA MBADAMANE

Booming business in African bagsFor someone to be called afashionista these days, theymust have African print.

But Abass Ma-Azu (27)from Gugulethu is bringing itin a new whole differentstyle.

He is making African printbags which are selling likehot cakes.

Ma-Azu, originally fromAccra in Ghana, came toMzansi five years ago.

He explains when startinghigh school in Ghana, youhave to choose a practicalsubject. He chose art, but hedidn’t enjoy.

Ma-Azu dropped art andstarted sewing. He describesthe best decision to change asthe best decision of his life, ashe soon realized he was goodat it.

He mostly sewed clothesand continued doing so whenhe arrived in Mzansi.

But he soon realised therewas a market for Africanprint bags and he founded hiscompany, Abass and TG eka-si.

He now sews bags andclothes, and puts Africanprint fabrics on tennis shoes.

But he specialises in bags,as these are most liked by hiscustomers.

He makes travel bags,satchels, handbags and purs-

es. The cheapest bag is R120and the most expensive isR900. “I’m just going slow onthe clothes, because peoplelove the bags. I always haveto have stock ready becausepeople order the bags. I do alot of bags in a day, becauseit’s so easy and I’m so used toit,” he said.

Abass makes at least 10bags a day. He sells it at theOld Biscuit Mill and touristslove his bags.

But he also sells it from hishouse and shop in Gugu-lethu.

“I love my work so much.Besides being my bread andbutter, I also enjoy it. I can’tgo for a day without makingbags. It makes me feel emp-ty,” he says.

“At times I feel like I haveso much to do and I won’t fin-ish, but when I start workingI find it difficult to stop I keepon working.”

At times, his orders are somuch that he has to contractlocals to help him with thecutting and gluing.

Thuleka Duze (40) is gladshe can help Ma-Azu andearn some money.

Music: Talented muso launches his debut album

Malizole reaches for the starsMTHAKAZI MAKALIMA

After years of working behind the scenes inthe music industry, Malizole Fololo has fi-nally released his first album Iphupha lam.Many of the tracks on the albumwere pro-

duced by local industry heavyweightsRobbyMalinga, Thebe Mojalefa and Bheki Nqoko.Malinga and Siphokazi also feature with

him in two of the songs.Over the years, Malizole has worked with

many established artists in the industry assongwriter and producer. He has workedwith the likes of Bethusile Mcinga, RebeccaMalophe, Veliswa and Theo Kgosinkwe ofMafikizolo.“I started writing songs at the age of 15,

when I wrote songs for local gospel groupsin Mthatha,” he said.The song he wrote for Kgosinkwe was his

first experience of writing a love song.“That was my best experience, as I ex-

pressed myself in another style of writingand producing a love song,” he said.Iphuphakam is a 14-trackalbumcomplica-

tion of soul, traditional and Afro pop ele-

ments. He said it is different from other al-bums and what other artists do, because heuses “hardcore isiXhosa”.He believes things have changed in South

Africa, as people live differently fromyester-year.“Our language is the only thing that still

holds who we are, so we should embrace it,”Malizole said.Two years ago he dropped three singles,

Ixesha lokonwaba, Ndiyahamba and Cosolo-lo, which were a success. The songs depicthis personal experiences as a person andthings happening around him.The 28-year-old singer credits his grand-

parents for raising him to be the man thathe is today, as well as being the inspirationforhismusic career “Iwas lovedathomeandI was able to express that throughmymusic;I could let people knowwhat love is,” he said.The albumwas launched atBirchwoodHo-

tel in Johannesburg earlier this year. At thelaunch, the legendary Caiphus Semenya –whom he considers his mentor – performed.It was not his first time he met Semenya

– he first met him as young boy at a concert.

After his surprise performance, Semenyatold him to never stop making music, hesaid. He also told him he has a brighter fu-ture in the industry, which further motivat-ed him.Malizole’s wish is to tour Africa before

taking his unique sound to the rest of theworld.“I grew up listening to other African sing-

ers. Asmuch as I never understood their lan-guage, but I felt the rhythm. Music is a uni-versal language thatmakes contact differentpeople,” Malizole said.When City Vision asked him about his

plans for the future, he said: “I want to writea song for legends that have passed on – peo-ple like Mama Busi Mhlongo; people whohave contributed a lot in the South Africanmusic industry and paved the road for usyoung musicians.”At present, he is promoting his new album

and wishes everyone could have a copy of it,especially the youth, asmanyhave forgottenabout their customs. “This album,”Malizolesays, “will remind them of who they are andwhere they come from.”

Malizole Fololo rs ready to make an impact onthe music scene.

Play your partI was very disappointedwhen I received a call aboutboys caught burgling ahouse. The caller said therewas a lead to find some ofthe stolen goods.I later found out the boys

are from our community.We thought they are niceboys who would make usproud.We need an urgent men’s

meeting, followed by acommunity meeting todiscuss the state we findourselves in. People nolonger feel safe in their ownhomes. Walking to the shopcould lead to your death;answering you phone on theroad, is like simply giving itaway; you can’t hosthousewarming as you fearyour guests will be robbed.This must be rooted out.Why have these boys

turned against their up-bringing? Why are they notafraid to dent their familyname in all of their mischie-vous behaviour? What isour community strategy tokeep those still behavingsane? This must be urgentlyaddressed.I learnt being a parent is

tough. One father gave hisboy over to the communityto do with him as theyplease. This boy getseverything at home.A mother defended her

son’s innocence. Themastermind of the fearedgang is the one who wasdefended by the mother.Most of the goods wererecovered at her home. Thiswas an embarrassment toher, who was throwinginsults at the community.We found car batteries, bagswith clothes and tracedmore good to other cases inthe community with an iPadand more clothes.Parents, you do not know

what your kid does whenyou not around.The community efficiently

worked with the police.They were the investigators;the police just arrested theperpetrators and confiscatedthe stolen goods.With a strong and vigilant

community, crime fightingbecomes easy.Communities unite must

Ebola statistics ‘scares me’Over the past month or so, eitherthan Oscar Pistorius’ verdict, oneof the talks that have kepttongues wagging has been theoutbreak of the mysterious Eboladisease. Almost every day, thenews from all aspects of mediahas been providing statistics onboth the death rate and theprogress made in an attempt tostop the rapid spread of thisvirus.While doing research with the

help of my very close friendGoogle, I managed to gather asome information to enlightenme. I thought to share this withmy fellow beings.Ebola is described as a fatal

fever transferred from wildanimals to humans – and contin-uously from human to human. Itis transmitted from animals tohumans through contact withblood, organs, and any otherbodily fluids of the infectedanimal.The World Health Organisa-

tion’s research shows that thechances of survival when youhave contracted this virus – sinceits recent outbreak – are said tobe approximately 10%.In simple terms, only one

person out of 10 infected people,is likely to survive. At themoment, all the fingers arepointing at the fruit bat as thenatural host of the virus.The human to human transmis-

sion is worse than that of HIV,because it can be transmittedthrough the use of materials usedby an infected person. These

include bedding, spoons and anyother household or workingappliances.This is one disease that, even if

the infected individual dies, stillremains active and infects thosewho have contact with the body.This is not to frighten anyone,

but merely to try and awakenpeople.When this virus was first

discovered in 1976, it was in theDRC. It s said to have causedabout 280 deaths. Again, theoutbreak that has killed morethan 1500 people this year alone,erupted on the African continentin Guinea and later spread toLiberia and Sierra Leone.

As a South African, a countryon the African continent, allthese figures make my bloodthin. If one person is infected, itmeans all of our lives are indanger.In all the articles I read, there

is not a single one which talksabout a potential cure or vaccinebeing established for this disease.However, as I have said, this

must not discourage us merelybecause it might happen. Some-where on the streets of mybeloved ghetto there is a hiddenmind, waiting to be unleashed sothat the secret formula for thecure might be known.Likhwelo ke eli mzi ontsundu

for us to empower our minds byreading and becoming moreinquisitive about our well-being.One of the methods used to

reduce the spread in communi-ties where the virus has beendetected, is communities to worktogether.Now, if the worst might

happen, God forbid, we wouldalso need to work together. Howthen would we be able to worktogether if we do not even knowwhat we are working against?Ukutsho oko ke ntozakuthi,masixelise iimbovane, zonaziqukeza ihlobo lonke zilungiselelaubusika, naxa nje zingenayoingqiniseko yokuba buyakufikangenene ubusika obo.Let us prepare ourselves for the

worst while silently praying forthe best.

Stop mistreating gay peopleOne of the most controversialthings affecting South Africa isthe gay issue.People fail to understand the

concept as a result of theircultural conditioning and person-al views. The dictionary describesa gay as someone who is attract-ed to people of the same sex.People insult gays in public as

if they are bewitched monstersacting against God’s will.Gays are human beings just

like the rest of us. They also cry,laugh and feel pain. They don’tdeserve to be beaten up andraped by cruel people who wantto “cure” them. Some peoplerealise they’re gay at a veryyoung age. Their families often

reject them. Gays are forced tolive as outcasts because they’reaccused of being evil.They deserve our respect and

should be treated like everyoneelse. It’s fine if you don’t under-stand them, but don’t judge themor treat them badly.

For more information call the Transport Information Centre (toll-free 24/7) 0800 65 64 63. Visit www.myciti.org.za

Buses serving seven routes come and go every few minutes from the new Adderley station.

Make the switch to MyCiTiIf you haven’t used MyCiTi before, then visit the newAdderley station and find out how easy it really is to use thissafe, affordable and convenient public transport service.

The opening of the Adderleystation in the heart ofcentral Cape Town’s

public transport hub offers userstransfers that are even moreconvenient than ever. Just crossthe road from the rail station andthe station taxi rank and catchMyCiTi. With buses every fewminutes in the busy peak hoursthere is very little waiting time,so there’s no more queuing in thewind and rain or waiting for thevehicle to fill up before leaving.All you need to use MyCiTi is

amyconnect card. Get yours forR35 at the station kiosk and loadwith money or Mover points – andyou can tap in and travel to yourplace of work, school or college,or simply to enjoy a day out withfamily and friends.Like using an ATM or a cellphone,

the MyCiTi fare systemmay takea little getting used to at first,

but soon tapping your card andreloadingmoney becomes secondnature. It’s the way of the futuretoo, as the plan is to eventually useone smartcard on all the majorforms of public transport.

Ask for Mover points and saveWhen you load your card at thestation kiosk, ask the cashierto load Mover points. Mover isavailable from R50 and you save30% on all fares, no matter whattime of the day you travel. Youwill be surprised at how low yourfare can be.

Load Standard for convenienceWhen you load money asStandard, you can use the moneyto pay for purchases of up toR200 at shops. So convenientwhen you have forgotten to drawmoney and you need bread andmilk for the morning.

Changes toMyCiTi services

MyCiTi services havebeen reviewed tobetter match the

services to the level ofpassenger demand on thevarious routes and at differenttimes. This is to ensure thatthe service is sustainableand that resources are usedoptimally to benefit themost number of people. Thismeans timetables have beenchanged across the system,in general with more frequentservices in the busy morningand afternoon peak and fewerservices when there is lessdemand. Some routes havealso changed. Details areavailable on the website,www.myciti.org.za and at busstops and shelters.

Nwabisa Mkabile, Nyanga“I work in Camps Bay and startedusing MyCiTi in March but CivicCentre station was a bit far. NowI get off the taxi and straight intoAdderley station, it’s great!”

James Rodgers, CBD“I use the service to get aroundthe city bowl and hardly usemy car anymore. With the newAdderley station, I don’t have towalk to Civic Centre anymore andit makes my life really easy.”

Amutujilani Charamba,Kenilworth“It is very difficult travelling witha baby on a taxi especially if youhave done some shopping too. WithMyCiTi, I simply park the pram andlock the wheels. It makes goingplaces with him so much easier.”

Heather Adams, Kuilsrivier“I’m taking my daughters to TableMountain for the day. This is ourfirst time using the service andI hope my girls will use it a lotbecause other modes of publictransport aren’t very safe foryoung girls.”

fied organisations withworthy causes.“This worked extremely

Cricket development given a boostMBONGISENI MASEKO

The first step to ensuring the growth andsustainability was taken with thelaunch of a crucial initiative in Langa

last week.The R17-million project forms part of

Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) plan to furthergrow and develop cricketers nationally, es-pecially in disadvantaged areas.The launch of the CSA Regional Perform-

ance Centres (RPCs) and Hubs was attendedby a host of dignitaries, including CSA CEOHaroon Logart and the organisation’s crick-eting general manager Corrie van Zyl.The national excellencewill latch onto the

existing development programmes of prov-inces and CSA affiliates.It will also incorporate CSA’s already op-

erating development programmes.“The current crop of schools produce 80%

of out Protea players; this programme is de-signed to broadenourbase andaccess all ourcricketing talent,” Van Zyl said.“We want to redress the imbalances of the

past. It is about refocusing and giving chil-dren from disadvantages areas the opportu-nity to have access to good sports facilitiesand coaching.”The RPCs and hubs also aims to increase

the number of cricketers in the country, aswell as improve the quality of competitivematches.It will also ensure the best coaching for

cricketers with potential, so that they canprogress onto the high performance level.Lorgat said the vision for the programme

fits with the national vision for transforma-tion.“We truly want to be first on the world

stage. Transformation is very important insport,” he said.CSA has identified 46 hubs and nine RPCs

across the country. These will all be opera-tional by November.Langa, an RPC, has been the breeding

crowd of national and international sportsstars – most notably Highveld Lions wicket-

keeper and former Protea, Thami Tsolekileand football star Thabo Mngomeni.At the launch, Tsolekile said: “It all start-

ed here [in Langa]. We will draw fromstrengths to ensure cricket does not vanish

from the area. It has always been my dreamto see the Langa continue to produce goodplayers.”The RPC will be housed at Langa Sports

Complex.

Titanic battle at CT StadiumTASMIN CUPIDO

It will be a clash of the titans when AjaxCape Town host Kaizer Chiefs in the Pre-mier Soccer League (PSL) at Cape TownStadium on Sunday.

The encounter pits the first and second-placed teams in the country’s top footballleague against each other.

TheUrbanWarriorswill look to continuetheir impressive winning home recordagainst theAmakhosiwhen they take to thefield. The Cape has not been a happy hunt-ing ground for Stuart Baxter’s charges –they haven’t beaten Ajax at home since the2009/2010 season. Their last two visits toCape Town saw them go down 3-1 (May lastyear) and 1-0 (November last year).

But continuing the winning run againstChiefs in the Mother City will not be aneasy feat for Roger de Sá’s troops. TheGlamour Boys are the only unbeaten teamin the league, having won all seven theirmatches.

Ajax boast a near-flawless record as well.They have won four matches, drawn twoand lost only one – their last PSL encounterbefore the commencement of the TelkomKnockout Cup (TKO) and the internationalbreak.

Only Mpumalanga Black Aces have beenable to pip the Capetonians’ this season,

when they defeated them 0-1 at MbombelaStadium in Nelspruit on Saturday 27 Sep-tember.

However, the Urban Warriors got overtheir first loss with ease, as they beat 3-0Aces in the TKO at Cape Town Stadium aweek later. Striker Thabiso Nkoane (two)and defender Abubaker Mobara’s goalshelped their side to a quarter-final spot inthe prestigious competition.

The PSL clash between De Sá and Bax-ter’s boys will undoubtedly dish up someexciting football, with Ajax (14) looking toclose the seven-point gap Chiefs (21) has onthem.

The last time the two sides met in Polok-wane in March (last season), the Amakhosicame out on top with a 2-0 victory.

At the back of skipper Travis Grahamand his crew’s minds will also be their nextPSL clash and the TKO quarter-final. Bothmatches will be played the week followingthe Chiefs clash.
