HE desire to speed up sport devel-

opment in rural areas has influ-

enced the Department of Sports,

Arts and Recreation to launch a

rural sports development pro-

gramme.

Minister FikileMbalula was inMthatha re-

cently for the official launch of the pro-

gramme, which aims to revive sport and un-

earth talent in rural areas.

Mbalula said the government had long been

talking about developing rural areas and now

the time had come to walk the talk.

He said the programmewould intensify the

already existing initiative in rural areas of

playing for prizes such as sheep, but now it

would have the departments backing.

No Port Elizabeth, East London or Johan-

nesburgwill benefit from the programme.We

are talking strictly rural, Mbalula said.

The 10 month programme will be rolled out

nationally, with the focus solely on rural

towns, townships and villages.

WHEN robbers stormed through the Thuso fu-

neral parlour, areamanagerSizekaThinga took

it as a joke and had no idea that she was staring

death in the face.

She said a man with a gun in his possession

had come into the office pretending to be a pro-

spective client, but had soon demanded money.

Two more robbers entered the office and

locked everyone inside.

She had been busy counting themoney at the

time and she told them they were not going to

get it and tried to hide it.

Thinga said the robbers had threatened to kill

her as she seemed to be stubborn andnot taking

them seriously.

Iwasnot shakenat all and thatwaswhy they

threatened to shoot me.

They demanded money and I tried to slowly

hide it underneath the table, but they saw me

and took it.

As he demanded themoney themanwas hit-

ting the table with the gun to show me he was

serious.

They then tied up me and my colleague and

the clients who were inside the store at the

time.

She said it was the first time they had been

robbed, but she had not been worried about the

robbers threatening her life.

No one was hurt in the incident.

A couple of minutes after the robbers had es-

caped with an unknown sum of money, it was

businessasusualat theparlouruntil thenormal

closing time.

Butterworth police spokesperson Captain

Jackson Manatha confirmed that a case of rob-

bery had been opened at the Dutywa police sta-

tion.He appealed tomembers of the community

to assist in tracking down the perpetrators.

FIVE ATM bombing suspects will formally

apply for bail in the Butterworth Magis-

trates Court this week.

The five accused appeared briefly last

week and their case was postponed for for-

mal bail proceedings.

Abel Sabelo Taole (57), Phillip Nkosi (32),

Zilindile Tabata (34), Moshe Maniki (30) and

Vusumzi Moses Kraai (48) all face charges of

possession of explosives and ATM bombing.

The police said themen had allegedly used

explosives last month to blast open an ATM

machine in Ngqamakhwe and escaped with

an undisclosed amount of cash.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant Anelisa

Feni said they believed the suspects were

possibly part of a syndicate and could be

linked to similar crimes in the Eastern Cape

and other parts of the country.

A tipoff led to the arrest of the five accused

in East London.

A Toyota Fortuner and VW Polo found

with the suspects were confiscated by the

Hawks.

The police said cash, a cord used to deto-

nate explosives and one round of ammuni-

tion had been found in the possession of the

suspects.

Feni said the Hawks were further investi-

gating the matter.

BUNTU GOTYWA

RESIDENTS of Dutywa villages say they have

lost all hope in their municipality and relying

on it for assistance will only bring more head-

aches for them.

These are the views of residents of Njemani

and Machibi whose houses were destroyed

when a tornado ripped through their villages

two months ago.

Many houses were destroyed with families

being left seeking housing from neighbours,

whilesomewereluckytohaveat leastoneroom

or hut still standing.

They say there was talk of providing them

with temporary housing after the disaster, but

nowordhassurfaced fromtheMnqumaMunic-

ipality.

The say the only help they received from the

municipality was one-time food parcels right

after the disaster struck. And since then there

has been no form of help.

Gcinikhaya Nelanis house was destroyed

and he has been living with neighbours as he

struggles to rebuild his house.

Nelanisaidhisalreadydifficult lifehadtaken

a turn for the worse when the storm hit his

house, destroying everything he owned.

He said he has no idea how he would build

himself another home as he struggled to sup-

port his family.

There were people from the municipality

who came after the tornadowho told us to wait

as they were going to give us temporary hous-

es, he said.

They didnt say when they were going to

come. We were just told to wait for them, they

would come.

Life is verydifficult nowbecause I amstrug-

gling to make ends meet and now I also dont

have a place to stay. I dont know where to go

from here, Nemani said.

Nogcinile Vunathi of Njemani village shares

a single rondavel with her two children and

says she cannot afford to build herself another

house as she survives only on a child grant.

Nothembile Mabofu said even the food par-

cels theyreceivedwerenevergoingtoeasetheir

pain. When they gave us food, where did they

think we were going to eat it outside?

Even the few houses that were left standing

do not have electricity, and we are told to pay

R1 800 for new electricity boxes from Eskom as

if this was our fault, said an angry Mabofu.

Mbhashe municipality spokesperson, Mzi-

masi Dyomfana, could only confirm that the

municipality distributed food parcels and that

they did assessment of the damage. He said the

damage was then later reported to Amathole

district municipalitys de-

partment of housing. At the

time of going to print, he

could not comment on the

promise of temporary hous-

ing. Amatholes spokesper-

son could not be reached for

comment.

THE love of words and education is the

one gift that South Africa can offer her

children in a fast-changing world.

Through words we can raise confident

children with the power to dream, create,

break boundaries and explore the world.

The idea that we can turn the tide on

the educational crisis is not a mere pipe

dream but a reality as thousands of chil-

dren around Africa take on the challenge

to improve their ability and talent to spell.

Thousands of pupils aged nine to 14 are

taking part in theMzansi SpellingBee and

proving that all is not lost with education

in South Africa.

Eight-year-old 2015Mzansi Spelling Bee

Junior Champ Mayuri Govender proved

that if you are determined enough you can

break boundaries and do whatever you

set your mind to, no matter how old you

are.

The Kimberley native is home-schooled

by her mother and is the youngest speller

and winner of the national spelling bee.

This month she will meet Queen Eliza-

beth II of England, and publish her first

book.

Slight and unassuming Kate Jones (14)

won the 2012 and 2013Mzansi Spelling Bee

finals.

Mzansi Spelling Bee spellers demon-

strate that your history and background

do not have to define you.

Mxolisi Magwaza calls the crowded Jo-

hannesburg inner city home, but his faith

and the support of his grandmother gave

him the courage to challenge himself.

Hiswinning theMzansi Spelling Bee for

two consecutive years shows that where

you come from does not determine where

you will end up.

Applications for the 2016 Mzansi Spell-

ing Bee are open to all pupils in grades

four to 11 in private and public schools in

all nine provinces.

Applications forms are available at

www.mzansispellingbee.org or send an e-mail to

THE programmes national champion-

ships will be back in Mthatha in March next

year, and prizes such as equipment for villa-

ges will be won by the participating teams.

The programmewill focus on football, rug-

by, netball, cricket and athletics.

Mbalula said winners in any of these

sporting codes would walk away with a

R1.2-millionmulti-sport facility for their vil-

lage.

We must invest in the development of tal-

ent in rural communities and equip the

youngsters with sport facilities, Mbalula

said.

The minister said the programme would

work closely with the House of Traditional

Leaders who happened to have this kind of

programme in different parts of the rural ar-

eas but with not many facilities or prizes.

Children from the age of 13 will be part

of the programme, he said. Mbalula added

that this development was giving meaning

to rural communities and no one would be

left out, as young people from rural parts al-

so deserved to play.

Traditional leaders who were part of the

launch, welcomed the ministers strategy of

evolving sport in rural areas and promised

to be fully part of the programme.

Sport stars were also on hand during the

launch to give talks and inspiration to up-

and-coming sports stars.

THE DR Mafuya Great Fast 5km race is

worth near the DR Mafuya Surgery, and

the 5km fun run will start at 8am on Sat-

urday.

Universitys first completely blind

graduate, Xolisa Yekani (37) is hop-

ing other blind students will be in-

spired to follow his example.

I am proud to be NMMUs first

blind graduate. I advocate for other

blind people because I want to bring

about change, said Yekani, who

graduated with his BA honours in

journalism.

Thank you, NMMU, for opening

your doors to us and catering for us

totally blind students.

Sadly, Yekani was not always

blind but lost his sight at the age of

eight.

Iwas a normal boy playing by the

riverwithmy friends, then suddenly

I couldnt see.

It was later revealed that Yekani

had lost his sight due to cataracts

and, because they had been left un-

treated, his corneas were perma-

nently damaged.

I come fromadisadvantaged fam-

ily and my parents could not afford

to get proper medical care, said

Yekani, who is from the village of

Dutywa in the Eastern Cape.

From 2011 to last year, Yekani was

the provincial chairperson of the

South African National Council for

theBlind and led a team that encour-

aged more universities to accept to-

tally blind students to study at their

institutions.

In 2014, he started studying at

NMMUanddecided that hewould be

a living example to help the blind

students who would follow after

him.

Yekani required all his reading

material to be in electronic format.

He uses a laptop called Book Sense

THE Portfolio Committee on Higher

Education and Training has called

on South Africans to make written

submissions to the Commission of

Inquiry into Higher Education and

Training, otherwise referred to as

the Fees Commission.

The commission was established

by President Jacob Zuma following

the Fees Must Fall protests through-

out the country last year and is

charged with determining the feasi-

bility of free education in institu-

tions of higher learning.

Committee chairperson Yvonne

Phosasaid itwascrucial forall stake-

holders to make an input to the com-

missionas thiswasanationalmatter

that had the potential for a long-term

impact on higher education and the

fiscus.

This is a legislated process where

the voices of people should be heard

on what kind of higher education

they want and what funding method

is feasible, she said.

This is really about expanding

andmaking higher education afford-

able to benefit all South Africans.

She said the committee believed

this process would allow different

voices to raise issues on free higher-

quality education in a coordinated,

structured and reasonable manner.

Members of the commission in-

cluderetiredJudgeJonathanArthur

Heher (chairperson), GregoryAlly, a

practising advocate, and Leah Thab-

isile Khumalo, a practising attorney.

Submissions can be sent to magis-

trates offices countrywide. The

deadline for submissions is May 31.

The commission is expected to fi-

nalise its work in September, after

which a report will be submitted to

Zuma within three months.

Phosa called on all stakeholders to

make use of this opportunity.

Call for submissions on free education

and a device called Job Access With

Speech (Jaws), a pocket-sized device

converting all the letters to speech.

He applauded all his lecturers for

being accommodating to his needs.

Fortunately I am very social, so

I spoke to all my fellow students and

they assisted me to get around my

classmates understood me well and

helped me.

People will try to look down on

you for being disabled, but youmust

be confident, work hard and be de-

termined toprove themwrong, show

them you can do it. Education is key

especially when you are disabled.

As the eldest of five siblings, Yeka-

ni is also the first to graduate in his

family.

I brought my sister and my wife

Bongiwe to my graduation so they

can be encouraged and motivated to

get their education too.

ducer for the SABCs isiXhosa radio

IN a bid to curb water pollution,

Walter Sisulu University, in part-

nership with the Department of En-

vironmental Affairs (DEA), will

champion water pollution research

through a partnership aimed at col-

lecting and analysing water quality

and sediment and biota samples

along the countrys coastline.

Delegates from both the DEA and

WSU were on hand to pen a three-

year R40 million agreement that

will see the DEA establish a labora-

tory within the institution aimed at

collectingandanalysingwaterqual-

ity samples.

The lab will be charged with pro-

viding baseline water quality infor-

mation that will support long-term

assessment of accumulative im-

pacts associated with ocean econo-

my; providing baseline data on wa-

ter quality of the natural receiving

environment (ecosystem function-

ing) near land-based sources of pol-

lution; supporting recreational

coastal water quality monitoring at

municipalities and to also build ca-

pacity in the field of marine water

quality, sediment and mussel sam-

ples analysis.

DEA deputy director-general, Dr

Monde Mayekiso said the National

Coastal Management Programme

developed under the Integrated

Coastal Management Act called for

the development of dedicated, co-or-

dinated and integrated coastal mon-

itoring and reporting systems to

measure progress in coastal man-

agement and reporting on variabili-

ty and trends in biophysical, social

and economic characteristics and

processes in the coastal zone.

Monitoring and reporting is one

of the measures that can be used in

the realisationof the environmental

right as enshrined in the constitu-

tion, Mayekiso said.

He said the monitoring of water

quality in marine and coastal water

on South African coastlines was

currently fragmented, uncoordinat-

ed and non-uniform, while contem-

porary monitoring initiatives did

not use standardised analytical

methodologies and protocols, lead-

ing to a number of challenges.

Inaddition, details of theanalyti-

cal methods used in many pro-

grammes arent readily made avail-

able.

It is thus impossible to get a clear

picture of the water quality status

of SouthAfrican coastal andmarine

environments at any given time, or

discern any possible trends, added

Mayekiso.

In response, the lab would pro-

duce reliable data and information

on the quality of the receiving coast-

al waters to support environmental

management.

The lab is scheduled to be opera-

tional shortly after the formal

agreementhasbeen signed,with the

first water quality samples ana-

lysed for the Eastern Cape.

It is expected that the lab will op-

erate beyond the three-year project

term, byprovidingwater quality da-

ta and information for the DEA and

other coastal water uses.

It is also expected to build compe-

tence in the field of water quality

monitoring and pollution and act as

a reference lab.

THE world-renowned musician,

rhumba king Papa Wemba, from

the Democratic Republic of Congo

has died.

Wemba (66) whose real namewas

Jules Shungu Webadio, performed

in the Eastern Cape in 2014 when

the BuyelEkhaya Pan AfricanMu-

London.

The influential Congolese music

star died after collapsing on the

cently.

While hewas performing in East

London, Wemba left his music fa-

natics begging for more of his sou-

kus rock music.

Festival producer Nomahlubi

the loss of this icon.

She said his death had left fans

Those who got the rare opportu-

nity to watch, in awe, the rhythmic

the magic that was Papa Wemba,

Mzwai said.

She described Wemba as truly

one of the greats of Africa and said

he had left an indeliblemark on the

history of music.

We mourn the loss of this icon,

and fondly remember his electrify-

ing performance given for his fans

at BuyelEkhaya in 2014, as well as

his humility and grace off stage,

SOUTH Africas National Development

Plan (NDP) has indicated that around 90%

of employment opportunities in the country

will be created by SMMEs by the year 2030.

While the public and private sector have

numerous programmes and incentive

schemes in place to assist andmentor entre-

preneurs and SMMEs, there remains a long

road to travel for each SMME before it is

able to become a sustainable entity.

In South Africa, SMMEs currently com-

prise 91% of formal business entities and,

according to StatsSA, they contribute be-

tween 52% and 57% of the countrys GDP,

said Puseletso Nkopane, events manager of

the SMME Opportunity Roadshow.

The roadshow is supported by the Depart-

ment of Small Business Development,

which was created by President Jacob Zu-

ma to offer support to small businesses.

Events such as the SMME Opportunity

Roadshow offer smaller businesses invalu-

able networking opportunities and the

chance to learn from experienced mentors

and speakers.

The current opportunities that are avail-

able for SMMEs in Africa are in areas such

as the digital economy, where businesses

are offering products and services using

technology and ICT, Alesimo Mwanga of

SEA Africa said.

If I was an SMME now I would look into

starting a business online as its easier to

expand your market access, while operat-

ing costs are reduced drastically, Mwanga

said.

Writer and businesswoman Zipho Sikha-

khane said: SMMEs should focus on indus-

tries that will drive growth and employ-

ment in the country there is no value in

starting a business in a sector with low

growth prospects.

Technologies designed especially for de-

veloping markets also present an exciting

opportunity to eradicate poverty at a low

cost.

Despite the potential that exists for digi-

tal startups, traditional opportunities will

always offer small businesses the opportu-

nity to build a sustainable business.

People will always need to have their ba-

sic needs met, regardless of the economic

conditions, so any venture that focuses on

supplying water and food could prove sus-

tainable, Sikhakhane said.

Ndzavi Derrick, an entrepreneurologist

and social media strategist, agreed that the

food industry was the way to go.

People eat, even during a recession. I al-

so strongly believe that the retail sector

still has a gap for entrepreneurs to fill by

developing products that can be sold

through retail chains.

Recently I met a lady who used a simple

formula to develop a product to solve a skin

condition that will take the industry by

storm. Theworld is full of possibilities now-

adays, said Derrick.

The state of the economy has certainly

created an environment that is increasing-

ly challenging for SMMEs, but there re-

mains plenty of support through work-

shops, roadshows and more formalised

structures.

The benefit of the current economic en-

vironment is that there are even more pub-

lic and private sector programmes and in-

centives being introduced to support

SMMEs, because SMMEs have an increas-

ingly important role to play in reigniting

growth and employment in South Africa,

Sikhakhane said.

Nkopane added: SMMEs currently pro-

vide 61% of employment opportunities in

South Africa and, as big companies shed

jobs, it is up to SMMEs to safeguard the eco-

nomy.

Valuableadvice for SMMEs

FINANCESareabigpartofeverydaylifeand

good financial habits will benefit your chil-

dren for the rest of their lives.

An essential aspect of this is the impor-

tance of credit and how it can work for or

against them.

Chris Labuschagne, CEO of FNB Credit

Card, said, Most people will need credit at

some stage in their lives and it is important

for parents to teach their kids to understand

the basics behind how credit works to equip

them with good money-making decisions.

Credit is a tricky concept, especially when

itcomestocompoundinterest.However, this

should not be a deterrent as there are ways

of demonstrating the power of credit and in-

terest through practical examples.

Demonstrating what credit is

The very first port of call is to explain

what credit is, saidLabuschagne. Theeasi-

est way to start the conversation is to show

them a credit card, as this is themost visible

form of credit, and they have probably seen

you take it out your wallet.

Explain to them that the money in this

card doesnt actually belong to you, but it is

a loan. You borrow it from the bank.

To make credit more real, walk around

your house and make your children guess

which itemswere bought on credit, saidLa-

buschagne.

At the same time you can explain which

ones you still owe money on, or those that

you have paid off. Make them understand

that credit is very important because with-

out it you wouldnt be living in your house

and driving your car every day.

The next step is to teach them the differ-

ence between good credit, which is credit to

build your wealth and bad credit. Demon-

strate that good credit is funding assets that

improveyour life, suchasyourhomeorstud-

ies to get work, while bad credit is funding

luxuriesorcoolstuffbecauseyoucantafford

them, said Labuschagne.

Understanding interest

The main concept to explain and make

your kids understand is that of interest.

It is quite complicated, so you will need

to break it down simply but, basically, show

that they will be paying more for something

that isnt always necessary.

Makereal-life examples to teachyourkids.

Find an item they reallywant, such as a new

phone and research how much it costs. If it

costs for example R2 000, with a pen and pa-

per add up themonths it would take them to

save for this item out of their pocket money.

If they dont earn pocket money, and you

wouldusuallybuy items for them, for thisex-

ercise allocate a set amount of money for

them each month, say R200.

Then say you will lend them the money.

Very broadly add on 20% to the itemand ask

if they would be willing to pay R2 400 for the

exact samephone.Workouthowmanymore

months it will take them to pay for it.

You dont need to go into detail of how in-

terest works, just show simply that theywill

be paying more for the same item, said La-

buschagne.

Thiswould be a good time to showhow in-

terestcanworkintheir favouraswell. If they

put theirmoney into a savings account, they

will have not only R2 000 to pay for their

phone, but also a bit more to spend on some-

thing else they like.

habits froman early age

REPORTER

FOLLOWING on the launch of the B-segment

Captur crossover inMay2015,Renault has ex-

panded its offering in SAs hotly contested

SUV crossover market with the new Renault

Kadjar.

Priced from R359 900, the new Kadjar com-

bines the best of three motoring worlds in

one: SUV + hatch + sportswagon making it

ready for day-to-day life, action and adven-

ture,

Its F1-inspired petrol and diesel turbo en-

gines boast efficient and advanced technolo-

gies affordingKadjar optimum fuel consump-

tion and CO emissions amongst the lowest

in its class.

Exterior

Solid and sporty by design, Kadjars aggres-

sive grille is complemented by a sleek yet

muscular build. Athletic, dynamic and sturdy

by design, it has impressive length, width,

wheelbase and ground clearance dimensions.

TheKadjars SUV-styling is reinforcedwith

an integrated roof spoiler and front and rear

skid plates. The Dynamique trim adds roof

rails and allows an option to upgrade to 19

alloy wheels.

Its distinctive new lighting identity

C-shaped zeromaintenanceLEDdaytime run-

ning lights enhances Kadjars visibility to

other road users.

Interior

From the elegant double topstitching and

body-contoured seats to the soft touch dash-

board with chrome-bordered gauges the

onboard environment is stylish and refined.

Leather seats (electric and heated) are availa-

ble as an option on the Dynamique trim.

A high-tech touchscreen infotainment sys-

tem, automatic climate control (Dynamique)

and intuitive digital instrument cluster make

motoring even more enjoyable and effortless.

The New Renault Kadjars modular cabin

boasts 30 litres of practical storage space

which is apportionedbetween thedoors, glove

box and central armrest.

Thanks to Renaults Easy Break System

(Dynamique), the 60/40 rear bench seat can be

folded down easily using the side handles on

the backrest. Handles are also located in the

boot for easy access via the rear of the vehicle.

Driving smart technology

TheNewRenault Kadjar boasts a host of ex-

ceptional high-end features and fitments.

Theultra-modern instrument panel has a 7

TFT colour screen digital dashboard with

adaptable display.

The dash provides standard information

such as the rev counter and speed, as well as

information for the navigation (Dynamique),

audio and advanced driving assistance sys-

tems. Fuel levels and engine temperature are

indicated by LED gauges.

The steering wheel is equipped with user-

friendly controls for using and configuring

the on-board computer, controls for the infor-

mation displayed on the console, controls for

the hands-free telephone, as well as cruise

control/speed limiter controls.

The second 7 screen (housed in the centre

console) is a multi-touch customisable Multi-

media systemwhich has a configurable home

page to which widgets can be added.

It offers Birdview (2.5 D) type navigation,

has anewdisplay screen for advanceddriving

assistance features, Eco Driving and Air

Quality monitoring.

Intuitive voice recognition is used to navi-

gate, control selected audio functions and

make telephone calls. The latest system has

superb audio quality and music playback in-

terface and also allows the occupants to view

photos and videos.

When on the go, Bluetooth connectivity

enables safe, convenient and hands-free te-

lephony and audio streaming from external

devices. SMSs can be received audibly and

there is a push to talk button on the steering

wheel for voice-prompted dialling.

Radio controls, including source selection

(USB&AUX) are easily accessed via fingertip

controls conveniently located alongside the

steering column.

Smart technology that crosses over into the

safety spectrum is the cruise control and

speed limiter which is standard across the

New Renault Kadjar range.

Engine

The New Renault Kadjar line-up comprises

three models all powered by forced induction

turbo engines.

The turbo diesel-powered Renault Kadjar

Dynamique 96kW 1.6 dCi (320Nm) 4x4 is the

flagship of the three-strong line-up.

Renaults 96kW 1.2 turbo petrol engine is

standard in both the Kadjar Dynamique and

Expression variants with maximum power

output of 96kW @ 5 500rpm.

All three models come standard with

6-speed manual transmissions.

Renaults engineers have adapted their ex-

tensive experience gained over the past 39

years in the design of F1 power plants, to de-

velop technically advanced engines for pro-

duction cars.

As adirect result, Renault is nowat the fore-

front globally in respect of engine downsizing

on road cars, with no compromise on power

and performance.

Fuel consumption for the petrol powered

Expression and Dynamique models is stated

at 5.7 and 5.8 litres/100km respectively (in

combined NEDC cycle) with CO emissions at

127g/km and 131g/km respectively.

Standard across the Kadjar range, ECO

mode function is available at the pushof a but-

ton and electronically modifies the engines

response to automatically lower fuel con-

sumption (by up to -12%).

Safety features

The New Renault Kadjar achieved a 5-Star

EuroNCAPrating inSeptember 2015. Safety

fitments across the range include: Kadjars

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), coupled

with Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) which

kicks in and automatically applies maxi-

mum brake pressure when an emergency

braking situation is detected. It can reduce

stopping distance by up to 20%.

The Electronic Stability Program or Con-

trol (ESP/ESC) ensures vehicle stability

and assists the driver to avoid possible loss

of control resulting from excessive speed or

slippery road conditions. It detects and re-

duces loss of traction, reduces engine power

and autonomously brakes on independent

wheels in the event of loss of control.

ElectronicBrakeforceDistribution (EBD)

automatically varies the amount of force ap-

plied to each of a vehicles wheels based on

road conditions, speed, loading etc.

Traction Control (ASR - Anti-Spin Regula-

tion) avoids wheel spin and loss of traction

during acceleration and helps to maintain

steering power and safe road-holding.

Hill Start Assist (HSA) is automatically ac-

tivated (upon complete stop) as soon as an in-

cline of at least 3% is detected. The system is

engaged by stepping firmly on the brake and

prevents any backward movement long

enough for pull off without requiring the use

of the handbrake. When stepping off the

brake, the car will hold for approximately

three seconds to allow pull off with no roll-

back.

Additional safety features include six air

bags (driver, front passenger, side and cur-

tain), seat belts with pre-tensioners, 3-point

safety belts for the three rear passengers, anti-

whiplash headrests (front and rear) and a re-

inforced sub-frame structure. In addition, two

ISOFIX positions (with 3 anchor points) are

located in the rear seats.

Optional extra

To make motoring easier and more fluid,

high-tech Advanced Driver Assistance Sys-

tems, including Self-Parking with Blind Spot

Detection and 360 Park Distance Control

with rear camera are available as an option

(Dynamique).

BUNTU GOTYWA

BOXER Sikho Nqothole said his Olympic

dream is still very much alive and he will

not let his spirits be dampened after his

ticket to the Games was taken away at the

last moment.

Nqothole, a bantamweight, thought he

had qualified for the Olympics when he

won gold in the Africa Games in Morocco

last year.

Instead, devastating news came from the

countrys Olympic committee that South

African boxers needed to qualify through

world tournaments and not continental

championships.

I felt really bad when I got the news be-

cause it was always my wish to fight in the

Olympics and my opportunity was there

and I watched it being taken away, he

said.

It made me feel that I didnt work hard

enough, but having the support of my fami-

ly motivated me not to give up on the

dream.

The Khwezi amateur boxing sensation

will get another crack at fulfilling his

Olympic dream at the International Box-

ing Association Olympic qualifications in

Azerbaijan later this month.

He said he felt rejuvenated and was rar-

ing to go.

I am prepared for the Games. I feel very

strong and I am confident that I will make

it.

The OR Tambo municipalitys depart-

ment of sport, arts and culture said it would

support the boxer every step of the way in

his quest for the Olympics.

Department director, Sakhiwe Sodo said

Nqothole had already achieved by winning

ZEKHETHELO NCAYIYANA

THE Msunduzi Disabled Club, in partner-

ship with Khayelihle Funeral Services and

Normans Driving School, has invited all

disabled sport clubs to take part in the an-

nual Harry Gwala Wheels and Runners

challenge.

The race is scheduled to take place on

May 15, with the help of the police, Msun-

duzi disaster management and Msunduzi

traffic officers.

The race will take place in Pietermaritz-

burg at the Harry Gwala stadium.

Sandile Luvuno, Msunduzi Disabled

Club chairperson, said everyone was wel-

come to join.

People living with disability do not of-

ten get these chances because most people

think that if you are disabled it means you

are unable, which is very wrong. Disabled

people can do a lot even though they are

disabled, Luvuno said.

Interested athletes can contact Luvuno

on 073 161 8961.

The 2km race entrance fee is R20 and the

10km fee is R60.

gold in Morocco and there was a need to sup-

port the regions achievers.

He needs our support more than ever now

as he prepares for Azerbaijan, and that is

why the municipality decided to have a fun-

draising event to make sure he has every-

thing he needs going to the Games.

He needs to have money and equipment

and that support we have to give until he fi-

nally leaves for the Olympics, becausewe be-

lieve he is going to the Olympics, Sodo said.

Nqothole said he was thankful for the mu-

nicipalitys support and promised to live up

to their expectations.

My fans can expect only good things from

me. I am very fit and I still have time for

more preparations, he said.

MTHATHA Bucks need three points in or-

der to escape the relegation zone in the Na-

tional First Division League.

This comes after struggling Moroka Swal-

lows lost 1-0 to Cape Town outfit Santos

over the weekend.

This means if Bucks manage to win their

next game against top side Highlands Park,

at the Mthatha Stadium this weekend, it

would be enough for them to survive in the

NFD League for this season.

Swallows are sitting in 15th position with

23 points, while Bucks are in 12th position

with 26 points and a better goal difference.

Both teams have two games remaining.

At the bottom of the league table are Afri-

can Warriors with 22 points and two games

remaining.

Bucks last fixture of the season will be

against Royal Eagles in an away game next

week.
