IKHALA ngokuhlukumezeka isaguga sase-Ashdown osekuyophela iminyaka emibili singenawo ugesi yize saqeda ukukhokhela isikweletu saso ngo-2012.

Kumanje ugogo Elsie Madondo (75) unesikweletu esingaphezu kuka-R7 000 kusukela ngo-2012 kuze kube yimanje yize ebevele engasenawo ugesi.

Elandisa leli phephandaba uMadondo uthe kuze kwaphoqeleka ukuthi unyaka odlule wonkeahambeayohlalanendodanayakheendaweni yase-Sweetwaters, ngoba enethemba lokuthi kuzothi kuqala lo nyaka u-Eskom ube usumfakelile isigubhu sikagesi, njengoba ayefake isicelo emva kokuqedela ukukhokha isikweletu sakhe.

Ugogo ohlala nabazukulu ababili uthe inkinga iqale ngo-2012 lapho ethole ukuthi unesikweletu sikagesi esingango R9 000, uthi indodana yakhe ebisizana nelinye ilunga lomphakathi bebehamba bephume emahhovisi kamasipala, okuphethe ngokuthi isikweletu sehliswe sibe u-R4 000.

Uthe: “Noma bengibuye ngingakhokhi kwezinye izinyanga, bengiwumuntu okhokhayo okwenza ngithuke ukuthi nginesikweletu sika-R9 000. Indodana yami nelinye ilunga lomphakathi bebeyilwa le ndaba, kwaze kwagcina ngokuthi isikweletu sehliswe sifike ku-R4 000.

“Emva kokusikhokha, indodana yami ibe isicela ukuthi ngifakelwe ugesi wekhadi. Kuthe ngokubona ukuthi izinsuku ziyahamba akwenzeki lutho, ngahamba ngayohlala nendodanayamingobasengimdalakantiangisaboni kahle. NgoMasingana (January) ngibuyile ngathola ukuthi inkinga isenjalo. Abazukulu bangixhumele ugesi esigxobeni, okuthe uma kugqashuka ikhebula, ngafonela abaka-Es-

kom.

“Ababuzanga lutho, bafike babhoncula ikhebula, bathi kuzomele ngikhokhe u-R2 000 ukuze bangixhumele kabusha ngoba ngiyawuntshontsha ugesi.”

UMadondo uthi waze wazikhethela ukuthi bamxhumeleugesiesigxobeningobabengamfakeliugesiwekhadi.Uthiitheindodanayakhe uma ibuza, yatshelwa ukuthi useyoze afakelwe ngonyaka ozayo ngoba emva kokuba bewuvalile, kwakufanele avuselele kabusha, aphinde akhokhe no-R2 000 ngaphezulu anqaba ukuwukhokha. “Impilo inzima njengoba ngihlala ngedwa nje isikhathi esiningi, ngize ngisizwe omakhelwane abazongibasela ngoba angisaboni kahle emehlweni. Sengiphila ngokubasaemnyango,futhinakhonangiyacabanga ukuthi kunomthelela omubi emehlweni ami, njengoba ngingasaboni kahle. Kuthiwa akunakekelweabantuabadala,kodwasinakekelwa kanjani uma sihlukumezeka kanje,” kusho yena.

Indodana yakhe uMnuz Mthobisi Madondo uthe usanda kutshelwa kamuva nje ukuthi u-Eskom unohlelo lokufakela izaguga nezingane eziphethe amakhaya ngazodwana ugesi wekhadi wamahhala, kodwa nakhona kuthiwa kusazothatha isikhathi ukuthi uhlelo lufinyelele kuwowonke umuntu.

“Umama uhlukumezekile kakhulu, futhi okusididayo ile mali engaphezu kuka-R7 000 okuthiwa uyayikweleta kusukela ngo-2012 kuze kube manje ekubeni wase uvaliwe vele ugesi ngaleso sikhathi. “Incazelo abasinika yona, ukuthi yize ugesi ubungasasebenzi, i-akhawunti isasebenza njengoba bengazange bayicishe. Umbuzo esinawo ukuthi sizoyikhokhela kanjani into esingayisebenzisanga?” ephetha.

KZN NHI sites are improving NOMPENDULO NGUBANE

K

WAZULU-Natal has a great opportunity to be the best piloting site of the National Health Insurance (NHI) as it has three districts (UMgungundlovu, UMzinyathi and Amajuba) that will be heading the NHI project, said Department of Health deputy minister Joe Phaahla.

The NHI is a government project that will ensure that everyone has access to appropriate, efficient and quality health services and it will be phased-in over a period of 14 years.

The deputy minister voiced this on his visit to the city on Friday, together with MEC for Health Dr. Sibongiseni Dhlomo.

The two were accompanied by the Department of Health HOD for the province, Dr. Sibongile Zungu.

Their visit started at Phatheni clinic in Richmond, proceeded to Imbalenhle clinic in Imbali Unit 3 and ended up at Edendale hospital.

Part of their visit was to check if the chosen piloting sites are meeting the

required elements of heading the NHI. Phaahla said that there are priorities that the piloting sites have to carry.

“Some of these priorities are cleanliness, signage, equipment and a generator for emergency situations or in case of load shedding. The aim of this visit was to also familiarize myself with the work since I have only been in office for five months. During my visit, I must say that I was impressed with Phatheni clinic, Imbalenhle and I have noticed the kind of environment when I entered this hospital (Edendale hospital).

“Phatheni Clinic have gained themselves a 78% improvement. We still have a long way to go but we are making progress,” said Phaahla.

The project is expected to officially start in the middle of 2015, said the deputy minister.

“After monitoring and finishing all the phases, the draft will be taken to parliament to be studied and to go through all the legal phases.

It will be signed and then the project will officially kick in,” said Phaahla.

Copper thieves target residential areas PHOTO: SUPPLIED

The theft of copper is extremely detrimental to the South African economy.

NQOBILE MTOLO

>>news@myecho.co.za

I

N a new spate of copper theft in Pietermaritzburg, copper thieves are now targeting homes.

The robbers on people’s premises during the early hours of the morning to steal copper taps and copper pipes.

These reports have become a norm in the Pietermaritzburg townships, as complaints have flooded from appalled residents who are crying foul that copper theft has caused unnecessary water losses at their homes.

A resident from Imbali Unit 13, who preferred to remain anonymous for fear of victimization, said that the thieves target homes around 2 and 3am.

“On two occasions these thieves have jumped over the fence and sheared the taps and copper pipes from the wall while the whole family was sleeping. When I heard the sound of gushing water coming from outside, I woke up and went outside, only to realize that the copper pipes supplying water to the entire house had been cut off the wall,” said the worried resident.

The resident added that the fact that the thieves could steal the pipes and taps in a short space of time indicates that they have donetheirhomework.Shesaidthatshehas now replaced the stolen copper pipes and tapswithplasticoneswhicharenotasresilient.

Msunduzi Municipality’s legal advisor Lelani van den Berg said that the copper thievesarealsotargetingthemunicipality’s sub-stations.

She said that the syndicates are desperate and will do anything to get copper. She said that the municipality spends a lot of money on replacing stolen cables.

“It is not only a loss for the municipality, it is a loss for hospitals and the courts. It is indeed a national crisis,” she said.

To respond to the copper theft emergency in Pietermaritzburg, last year December the Msunduzi Municipality established the electricity task team. Prior to the establishment of the municipal electricity task team, van den Berg said that six sub-stations had been hit by copper thieves. From 23 December last year to 31 July this year, the electricity task team arrested 53 suspects.

Of the 53 arrested suspects, nine were Msunduzi Municipality employees.

Van den Berg said that copper syndicates who have targeted the sub-stations are South African and foreign nationals.

“We need the community to help us arrest this situation because copper theft compromises service delivery. Some community members know who these culprits are. We need them to help us with information so that the thieves can be stopped in their tracks,” said van den Berg.

Copper Development Association of South Africa centre director Evert Swanepoel said that copper is valuable because it is the best conductor of heat and electricity.

He said the only notable copper production in South Africa is in Palabora in the north of the country.

According to the 2013 global copper mine production, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia are large

producers of copper in Africa, with 842 and 752 tonnes of manufactured copper respectively.

Lastyear,SouthAfricawasatnumber27 with 74 tonnes of copper, which made up 0.4% of the total global production.

“Large volumes of copper production will influence Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The copper tubing and cables used in South Africa are mostly produced by specialistcompanies,butweareconstantly threatened by imports of sub-standard quality. Copper mining and use is increasing,” said Swanepoel.

He said that in South Africa, copper theft is more prevalent in urban areas.

“Very little copper is stolen in rural areas as there is no market. It is very difficult to identify how much copper is stolen in every major city as many scrap merchants move the scrap around to make it difficult for the authorities to identify.

“The theft of copper is extremely detrimental to the South African economy.

Copper scrap exports fuel the theft of copper and leads to destruction of the infrastructure, which includes electricity shortages, communication disruptions and train delays. Manufacturing companiesareunabletopurchasescrapatthecorrect price and this leads to the loss of production and ultimate retrenchments.

The foundry industry has been closing down plants and more will follow if the situation is not arrested,” Swanepoel explained.

The report on world copper end use for 2012 shows that in the whole world, 7545 tonnes of copper goes towards building construction, 3679 tonnes go towards infrastructure and 13621 is used for equipment manufacture.

South Africa uses 206 tonnes of copper for building construction, 59 tonnes for infrastructure and 158 tonnes of copper for equipment manufacture.

“Bakhipha izigqebhezana zamaphoyisa ezingekho emthethweni benze sengathi babopha lona wesifazane nalowo osuku eluthiwe. Emva kwalokho nalo wesifazane naye wenza sengathi naye uyaboshwa bafakwe emotweni yize besuke bazana.

“Imvamisa emva kokuba sebeveze ukuthi bayabopha babe sebephuzisa oluthiwe izidakamizwa noma bamjove ngesidakamizwa esithile. Bahamba naye bafike bamlahle ehlathini.

“Kuye kungagcini lapho kodwa ngaphambi kukothi bamthathe bamjikejele ehlathini baye baphoqe ukuthi bagcine bethole inombolo eyimfihlo yawo wonke amakhadi abahlangana nawo esikhwameni salowo osuke eqolwa.

“Baphinde bakhiphe yonke imali yomuntu esuke isebhange,” usho kanje uNdlovu.

Umphakathi uyanxuswa ukuthi usebenzise enye indlela yokukhipha imali emabhange ehlukile kunokuhamba baziyele bona emabhange bayokhipha isamba semali enkulu.

“Okungenani uma umuntu eyokhipha imali enkulu akacele isihlobo noma umngani ukuthi amphelezeleangahambiyedwangobalokhokuyingozi.

Abantu bayaxwayiswa ukuthi bazi ukuthi ayikho inhlanhla yokuvele uthole imali intanta phansi nje ngaphandle kwesizathu.

“Amaphoyisa kumanje asephezu kophenyo ngezigameko ezifanayo ezenzeke ngenyanga edlule kuqolwa abantu ngendlela efanayo. Kunokwenzeka ukuthi lolu hlobo lwezigameko lusazokwenzeka ikakhulukazi njengoba sekuyisikhathi samaholidi kaKhisimusi sisondela,” kusho uNdlovu.

He said the R500 million that had been earmarked for the building of the new parliament precinct could be better used elsewhere.

The party statement added: “We will also further engage with KZN’s Communi­ ty Safety and Liaison MEC to assist us in bringing this matter to its satisfactory completion. We are determined to get to the bottom of this matter.”

Police spokesperson Captain Thulani Zwane said the cause of fire is unknown at this stage.

theft is rife, particularly in the Golf Road area.

“Although Risk Managament Services (RMS) are doing their best to protect us, there is an issue of safety around campus. We have boom gates and turnstiles where students have to swipeinandoutinordertogainentry.

However most of these gates are old, and don’t always work which makes it easier for intruders to gain entry.

Following the alleged rape recently, students had signed a petition that all the boom gates be closed and only people with student cards could gain entry. However it was inconvenient, especially for disabled students.

“Theft is on the rise, particularly when it comes to laptops and cellphones. While we feel that the university should beef up its security system, students are partly responsi-

ble for what is happening. We often advise female students to request RMS to accompany them when walking at night, but then you often find them walking alone. We have raised our safety concerns with management, and they have promised to come up with intervention strategies by the end of next week.”

Executive director of corporate relations at UKZN, Lesiba Seshoka, said that they have records of only three cars that were stolen in university’ surroundings this year, but not on campus “We have intensified security patrols on campus, increased the number of security personnel and have also enforced more stringent controls at access points, We are also looking to install additional security measures.”

Making children responsible on the roads

ECHO

KHANYISANI DLOMO PUPILS of 30 Pietermaritzburg schools are undergoing a road safety outreach programme to make them responsible on the roads.

Last Thursday at Slangspruit Primary School, South Africans Against Drunk Driving (SADD) and Imperial embarked on a campaign to educate pupils on how to conduct an efficient and safe scholar patrol system.

Imperial’s Niki Cronje said it is their responsibility to ensure they are

consistently creating opportunities to educate South Africans around responsible road usage. The pupils are also taught the importance of buckling up and the consequences of not buckling up and are encouraged to pass the message on within their own communities.

SADD’s Caro Smit said they are consistently looking for ways in which to improve safer use of our roads.

“The synergy between Imperial’s road safety campaign and our own outreach is very strong and as a result, we are very proud to have assisted Imperial in identifying the right schools,” said Smit.

Man supporting siblings is excited to study again KHANYISANI DLOMO

A

PIETERMARITZBURG youngster who’d almost given up on his life is grateful for the chance of a brighter future, thanks to President Jacob Zuma.

Thulebone Maphumulo (21) of Imbali township said he was speechless when the president told him on his visit to the city this week that he will receive financial support to further his studies through the Jacob Zuma Foundation Trust.

“I felt numb. I didn’t know what to say. I am extremely excited,”

Maphumulo said.

The young man said he had aspired to be a chartered accountant.

“I had lost hope, but now the future is certain. I’m grateful and I won’t disappoint.”

He had to quit human resource studies at the Durban University of Technology to look after his three siblings, aged 12, 10 and seven years old.

They were orphaned when their mother died of illness in 2011.

Maphumulo said their father went missing while he was young and the police assumed that he’d died.

“Heading the home is no

child’s play. After my mother’s death, our neighbours, friends and family supported us with food,” he said emotionally.

He completed his matric at Mehlokazulu Secondary School last year before doing a short stint in DUT. While he was studying in Durban, his friend, Lungani Mhlongo, looked after the little ones. Maphumulo was, however, forced to come back home after Mhlongo got a job.

“I was hurt when I had to leave school. But there was nothing I could do. I had no choice.

“Ihadtobestrongforthem[hissib-

lings].”

After quitting DUT, he enrolled at Plessislaer FET College on part-time basis with the help of councillor Caiphus Ndawonde.

“SometimesIdon’tattendbecause I have to look for jobs to put food on the table.”

At this stage, Maphumulo does not yet know where he will now study or what course he will do.

Although he wants to be a chartered accountant, he does not know if he will qualify, he said.

Dudu Myeni of JZ Foundation Trust has assured him she will be a “mother” to his siblings while he studies

“TAC is here to stay” ECHO REPORTER

>>news@myecho.co.za

THE KZN Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) Provincial Head Mzamowenkosi Zondi said that despite severe financial challenges, the TAC is not facing imminent closure.

This was in response after there have been reports from the media that the TAC faces closure due to insufficient funding.

Zondi said that despite the challenges they are faced with as TAC the possibilities of closing it have never been discussed.

“However if we have not raised the funding required by February 2015 we will have to make tough decisions,“ said Zondi.

“The downscaling or closure of the TAC would be a major setback to our democracy andtoSouthAfrica’sresponsetotheHIV/AIDS epidemic. More than ever, South Africa needs well-informed, membership-based organisations to empower communities and hold government and the private sector to account to the promise of the Constitution.

“Often people ask why we face this challenge. One reason for the funding crisis is that despite approximately 400,000 new HIV infections every year in South Africa, 170 000 AIDS-related deaths, including an estimated 88 000 deaths per year of people living with HIV due to TB alone, several foreign donors are withdrawing funding for AIDS and are no longer funding the TAC or other civil society organisations as they did in the past.

“Donors such as the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), who have been a key funder of the TAC, are pulling out of South Africa due to our middle-income status.

“A number of funders remain committed to the TAC and are steadfast in their support of our work. However, their contributions alone are not enough,” he said.

The Board of Directors and the National Council of TAC are both concerned about the future of the TAC and the future of South Africa’s AIDS response, said Zondi.

“The TAC has campaigned successfully for the past 16 years to save countless lives of people living with HIV and TB through our advocacy and human rights campaigns.

We have won a number of important court victories and helped set the stage for the large-scale rollout of antiretroviral medicines in the public sector.

“The TAC’s mission is far from complete. The challenges facing AIDS are far from over.

“On 1 November 2014 to World AIDS Day on 1 December, TAC will launch an innovative, bold and extensive global fundraising campaign.

“We will soon publicise our plans and we call for public support for this campaign,” he said.

72 informal settlements in Msunduzi area NQOBILE MTOLO

still enforcement in dealing with this socio-economic outcome.

Exco member Bill Lambert said that the figure is shocking.

“What startles me is that we have 72 informal settlements in Msunduzi. This is the first time that I have ever heard that we have so many. It has never been put in any document that I have ever seen. This is alarming. Now we have to start focusing on what we are going to do,” he told Exco.

Deputy municipal manager for economic development Dr Ray Ngcobo said that the national department of Human Settlement had appointed the service provider, Kayamandi, to undertake the assessment of informal settlements throughout the country.

Ngcobo said that Msunduzi was chosen as one of the pilot areas.

“They had done a comprehensive report which discovered among, other things, that there are about 72 informal settlements in Msunduzi. What we have done on the basis of that report is we are putting in place a strategy

and a plan to eradicate or to upgrade some of the informal settlements that we have.

“That report is going to come to Exco with specific recommendations. Some of the informal settlements need to be eradicated, some of them need to be upgraded and some of them may need people relocated to other housing projects that are on the pipeline.

“We are hoping that immediately after the reporthasbeenprocessedbytheportfoliocommittee, that it will come to Exco,” explained Ngcobo.

The rapid assessment for informal settlements in Msunduzi was completed in February this year.

After viewing the contents of the Kayamandi report, the economic development business unit agreed to establish a multi-sector upgrading task team.

This task team will comprise representatives from the water and sanitation business unit, roads and drainage unit, electricity, waste management, risk management, environmental health and area based management units.

Driving ‘Dakar dirty’

HEN it comes to surviving everything that the roughest terrain can put in your way there’s no motorsport event to match the Dakar Rally every January through Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.

The Toyota Dakar team, builds its competing Hilux vehicles using mostly local components. As much as 80% of each vehicle is manufactured in a specialist workshop in Kyalami, Johannesburg, by a team of local petrolheads who eat, breathe and sleep their dream of winning the world’s toughest event. The team fields two Hiluxes each year with South African drivers Giniel de Villiers and Leeroy Poulter at the wheel and guided by, respectively, by Dirk von Zitzewitz and Rob Howie.

De Villiers has reached the Dakar podium three times — he won in 2009, second in 2013, third in 2011 - and has been the team’s lead driver since 2012, putting the South African flag firmly in the global spotlight.

The customised Hiluxes have been designed in South Africa by South African engineers, in compliance with the strict rules set out by the Dakar Rally organisers.

Toyota Motorsport SA team principal Glyn Hall said: “Even though we have generous sponsors, the South Africanteamiscompetingwithitsbudgetinrands,against international teams that have millions of U.S. dollars or

euros behind them. Hall emphasises that conditions on the Dakar are extreme, each driver/navigator team being confined in a small space that goes up to 50°C in the South American desert heat, with each of them consuming up to seven litres of fluids a day – and still running the risk of dehydration. The logistics supporting the team are tremendous, says Toyota, with the team travelling with nearly nine tonnes of spare parts, tools and equipment to support the two race Hiluxes, which are packed into 78 containers for transport from Kyalami to the start of the event – and then to each stopover during the two-week race.

Furthermore,theteamtakesitsownwatertotheevent, makes its own ice, and sterilises all the racers’ equipment every night.

“Navigators only get the next day’s route the night before each stage and teams could still have to drive 400km to get to the start. There’s one rest day for the drivers but the mechanics and crew are working 24/7 for the duration of the event. The Dakar truly is a remarkable test of man and machine.”

The next Dakar Rally will run from January 4-17. 2015.

The C4 Picasso.

THE C4 Picasso was launched in South Africa in June and is available in two derivatives Seduction and Intensive. The car is powered by a 1.6 e-HDi 115 turbodiesel good for 85kW/270Nm and it’s mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. It reaches 100km/h in 11.8sec and has a claimed top speed of 190km/h.

The biggest highlight about this car is probably its self-parking function.

You select the auto-park function and drive slowly-lessthan20km/h–asthecarscansand measures a suitable parking space. Once it does, select the direction to park from i.e. by indicating left or right or into a parallel bay, select reverse and the car will steer itself into the selected bay automatically.

You have to drive slow and if you reach the end of the car park, the camera stops scanning for a suitable bay and you have to reverse or drive around again and start all over however, the car might stall and then you have to start the whole process all over.

Citroën claims a combined fuel consumption of four litres/100km. It’s safe to say this car daintily sips fuel rather than guzzles it. It averages about 6.3-litres/100km on the open road or 16.8km/litre on urban and rural roads.

PHOTO: SOURCED

The space in this car rates top-notch. The rear row is spacious and comfortable with trays that can flip down for the kiddies or for passengers to keep items such as cellphones or even use as desk space to work on.

Both front seats have massage functions.

The C4 Picasso’s facia is clutter-free and the two monitors displays all the controls re: air-conditioning, car and audio settings.

There’sevenacalculatorandfullcalendarand you can upload personal photos and set it as desktop wallpaper.

For driver and front passenger, the driver seat can’t go much lower and the steering wheel should be built so that it can reach further back into the dash.

The Seduction version will set you back R325 900.

It comes with a three-year or 100 000km warranty, five-year or 100 000km service plan, three years of 24-hour roadside assistance while the warranty can be extended to five-years or 100 000km. There’s also an optional Citroën Freedrive plan - a five-year or 100 00km warranty and a five-year or 100 000km maintenance plan.

TALKING FOOTBALL

THABO DLADLA

An abnormal situation WE are probably one of the few countries that confuse development and competitive football.

Generally, from birth to about 19 years, are the years of learning where results do not matter.

Youth teams do not have promotionandrelegation.Youthteamstrain more and compete less. Developing technical-tactical skills is more important than winning medals and trophies. It is also possible that young players,under-19s, canplayinsenior teams. This depends largely on a player’s ability.

We have seen very abnormal developments in our football concerning development. SAB and Motsepe leagues are promotional. Clubs participating in these leagues are aspiring to reach professional leagues in the near future. Why are such rules not applicable to every club playing league football in South Africa?

Where do over-23s that are still interestedincompetingatthislevelplay their football? Why introduce rules that push young people out of sport?

WhydoSafaandPSLnotintroduce national or provincial age group leagues? It is in the interests of all those involved in football business to do the right things. Generally in life, there is only the correct way of doing things. Why are we not learning from the most advanced nations like Germany and Spain? Initiatives like your Diski league etc. do not serve the interests of youth football. Young people must compete against their peers under the right conditions.

Is it possible to teach university students with primary school pupils under one roof?

This is what we are presently witnessing in South African football. I hope someone stands up and corrects this abnormal situation. We also see a similar situation developing in the national teams. Senior national teams are not platforms for player development. A player that is not making it at club level cannot be selected into a national team. Countries like Germany have 20 and 21-year olds playing in their top league.

Bafana Bafana should use PSL and players from other top professional leagues. Presently, we do not have young players in our league. The best footballers in South Africa play in the PSL. It is naïve to talk of young players while PSL coaches are not promoting any youth players. I think it is also important to understand the position of PSL coaches. The lack of age group leagues is not helping produce excellent footballers. The only talent available are players from lower leagues’ teams.

Lastly, Pietermaritzburg has not produced national teams’ players for averylongtime.Itwillbeverydifficult for local children to advance in football. The lack of football facilities and pooradministrationofthegameisnot helping the development of our players.

Unzima lo mthwalo!

Boys’ plea for overseas sponsorship TWO Eastwood Secondary School pupils, Andile Nxumalo (18)and Lindokuhle Mohlakoana (17), have reiterated their impassioned plea for them to realise their dream of playing soccer in Colombia.

Lackofmoneyisnowtheonly thing standing between the two pupils and their dream and they are urging local business people and good Samaritans to extend a helping hand.

During the school winter holidays, the two boys attended trials at Johannesburg’s Mzansi Mayfair Soccer Academy and were lucky to be selected after their impressive display.

“I think we both took this opportunity with both hands and went all out to impress. I know we both waited for a very long time for this opportunity to arrive and to flop was not an option. I know we both really want to take our careers to places,” said Mohlakoana.

Mohlakoana says it was unfortunate that we are both from poor family background and cannot afford to raise funds to attend further trials in Colombia,” said Mohlakoana.

The Johannesburg based academy head coach Edson Betancourt confirmed that both Nxumalo and Mohlakoana will have to raise R15 000 each in order to be able to travel to Columbia to try their luck.

If Nxumalo and Mohlakoana are able to raise funds before the end of October, or early November, they will be able to join the First Division team, Sabana Norte Futbol Club in Chia, Colombia. The money requiredisfortheirflighttickets, accommodation, medical insurance, three meals per day and transport to and from games.

“It is just unfortunate that we can’t afford to pay for them because we are not a profit making organisation.

“As I indicated, our academy accommodates about 50 South African children and providing them accommodation, private school and food.

“We wish we could pay their expenses but we are not in a financial position to do it right now. The club in Colombia hasn’t seen them playing, so what they can offer is the opportunity to prepare them free of charge and give them the exposure to professional clubs in South America,”said Betancourt.

Ward 34 ANC branch chairperson Ivy-Terry Adams says both boys are very talented and skilful players that deserve tobehelpedinordertotaketheir career to the next level.

“I am appealing to you good people out there to please seriously think about this type of opportunity for these two boys.

What if it was your children? I know people from around the city are good people and somebody out there with a good heart will come forward,” she said.

AFANA Bafana head coach Ephraim “Shakes”Mashaba will definitely have another tough as teak assignment on Saturday afternoon.

His charges are playing Congo-Brazzaville away at Pointe Noire for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at 4.30pm.

The former Orlando Pirates and Moroka Swallows defender is also aware that their battle will be a titanic one, and has prepared his players in all aspects of the game.

For starters, Mashaba decided to take his team for a training camp to North West and used the Royal Bafokeng Sports Complex, Platinum Stars training ground, as his base.

According to him, there were a couple of reasons for taking the South African senior men’s football team there.

“Just to be away from the busy and noisy Johannesburg is good for everybody in the team. North West is quiet and the facilities there are world class.

“Also, you must remember that in Congo, our game willbeplayedonan Deodorant artificial pitch which the Royal Bafokeng has. And I must say, it’s the best around the country.

“So we thought it would be wise to make our players train on it and try playing at least one 2 FOR friendly game on R this type of turf before going there.

It remains to be seen if Mashaba’s “Ben 10s” team will survive to outsmart and out-muscle Congo twice in the space of four days.

Bafana Bafana will not only take on their opponents on Saturday, October 11, but immediately after that game the SA side will fly to Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium to face Congo-Brazzaville again on Wednesday, October 15 at 8pm.
