Masivuke hall opens MANDLA MAHASHE

M

asivuke Primary in Philippi celebrated the official opening of their R6 million school hall on Friday.

For years, the no fee public school made use of the school foyer for their functions until the Garden City Archway Foundation came to their rescue and built the hall.

Masivuke has become the 77th school to benefit from the building of halls by this organisation since it was established 11 years

ago.

According to the school principal Ntshukumo Mbangatha the new facility has already started to bear fruits from the school.

“Shortly after the hall was handed over earlier this year, there was a remarkable increase in the number of parents wanting to register their children at the school.

The very presence of the hall in the school grounds gives it a status and quality that the community supports. There is a great sense of pride in the school,” said a gleaming

Mbangatha.

Mbangatha said that the hall would afford the learners an area where they would be able to express themselves.

“They will be able to stage theatrical plays and musical productions, learn stagecraft and gain experience that develops their self confidence,” he said. The hall would be also able to generate much needed income for the school by hosting community events.

“Reducing the shortfall of school halls is a mammoth task... Although the number of

halls handed over to schools has increased substantially, there are still over 600 needed,” said John Mathews, CEO, of Garden Cities. Garden Cities is a residential development company whose board set up the Archway foundation 11 years ago.

When the foundation began its work there were 700 schools without halls and over one million children continued to suffer from being disadvantaged. By 2019 the organisation, says they hope to completed more than 100 halls in line with the companies centenary.

A story of mordernism going horribly wrong Time was when the vicissitudes of life took a lad from one extreme to another extreme.Say what!

It meant walking from your house to visit a relative in another neighbourhood, or a stroll to meet your significant other.

Times were different then, of course, as safety was utmost in mind, which meant that one was prepared to meet any evil intent head on.

The endless walk to school was but one side of the plane of the life we lived.

Weekends were the time of the great walks in the search for the meaning of life, whether to a shopping mall or the sports ground, to kick ball with mates.

I reminisce, and that era seems eons away now, if you consider current events, when even sending an innocent child to the corner shop has parents sitting on edge.

In the mid 90’s we were introduced to a somewhat new mode of ambulation, nay, commuting: the ubiquitous “amaphela”; which seemed to take the mickey out of those long and punishing walks.

This new development was met with a great deal of excitement right around communities, if only because commuting in them cost a pittance.

We might not have been declared a ‘junk status’ country yet, but the standard of living was not too high either.

Even then, there was a semblance of dignity about the whole exercise of Black people living under harsh circumstances.

But having the means of transport that took you around neighbourhoods, meant a great deal of liberation.

Now, one needed to hitch a ride not only when one wanted to go to town, so to speak. Good times!

The Toyota Cressida sedan taxis were held in high regard, more so because back then, the drivers behind the wheels were people of a mature age. No 16-year-old would be caught dead behind the wheel of a public old banger or jalopy!

Fast forward to the present day Avanza, supposedly an upgrade from the run-down Cressida, which have become, in local speak at least, coffins-on-wheels. Justifiably so. But it seems life has been hell on earth for the commuters who find their bums on the Avanza vehicles.

That the Japanese wanted a stake in the small family car market, and so designed the Avanza, is now the stuff of legend. The

Cinema makes beautiful news K

ONE THE RUN lunga adam

local taxi industry players, smelling a quick quid, permanently redesigned these vehicles as a form of commuter ambulation. However, the Avanza serves a good purpose in the greater scheme of things. Thing is, the real owners are not even the ones causing trouble in our kasis. Needless to say, they wise say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The operators possess a general lack of respect.

Granted, these cars offer the proverbial land of milk and honey to the young men from rom the Eastern Cape who come to these shores looking for better prospects, but their behaviour is disdainful.

I have observed with dismay how they address people old enough to be their grandparents. Pity then, because it seems the Avanza is the preferred mode of transport for the majority of our people.

Recently, they(operators) have received a lot of bad press for their nocturnal shenanigans. This is tragic.

Look no further than the pages of this newspaper for stories of how these drivers get arrested for their acts of criminality.

This particular driver was accused of a string of robberies in the Vlei and Ekuphumleni areas.

According to reports, young girls and women seem to have been the victims of choice for these criminals we have come to entrust with a safe ride to our respective homes.

Eight in the evening has become associated with rape, robbery and mayhem for female commuters. To think these rides cost only R6 to any destination, life, indeed, has become cheap. The authorities must pay more than just lip service to the deeds of these unlicensed and evil drivers who prey on the weak in society.

hayelitsha’s Buhle Sithela was recently featured on Beautiful News for his vision to bring films and documentaries to his community.

Sithela,23, from Harare, has bee recognised by the Red Bull Amaphiko Academy for his entrepreneurial spirit and motivation to screen movies in ‘eKasi’ using solar power.

Prior to starting his socially-conscious enterprise, he founded the Khayelitsha Bin Clean Project as part of an assignment for his studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

He used the income from the bin cleanup operation to pay for his studies, until the funds dried up and he had to drop out of school.

However, not content with being complacent, Sithela applied for an internship with Sunshine Cinema to host film screening events in his Kasi.

It was here that he developed a passion for film-making and cinema and this inspired him to bring motion pictures to Khayelitsha. This also gave Sunshine Cinema the opportunity to develop a solar panel powered screening device that could be used to project film through a light box. His video has clocked over 340,000 views since its release on 16 March 2017.

As a young person who was denied a conventional education, Sithela understands the need for South Africans to get creative about their future.

He says his motivation is to educate through entertainment and he believes that cinema provides a world of learning resources.

Sithela said: “I’ve always wanted to screen films and thought it would be a good thing to do(so) in my community, especially since there are no cinemas in Khayelitsha.

Cinema can educate by sharing content that celebrates local heroes in the communities most affected by their stories.”

Adrian Steirn, a photographer and filmmaker, is the founder of Beautiful News.

He said: “Digital platforms and multimedia content have liberated our ability to communicate and for people to access

Buhle Sithela and share their stories.

Beautiful News is reflecting the actions and endeavours of ordinary citizens, allowing the public to access and reflect on the goodness of the communities and the people around us in our country.

Sunshine Cinema is onto this idea, and continues to equip people like Sithela to touch their communities through the medium.

Stern said a famous car manufacturer’s commitment to continually showcase the best that South Africa has to offer, has made it possible for this project to become a reality and share the greater good of the South African people with the public.

In the future, Beautiful News will continue releasing one short film per day at 4.14pm, unearthing stories across the country and capturing the diverse set of voices and uniqueness of South Africa.

As part of its massive investment in education, the network spends about R12m every year on bursary programmes.

For the current academic year, a total of 35 students were awarded new bursaries to study at institutions of higher learning.

A further 75 bursaries are also awarded to students entering their second, third and fourth year of study for 2017.

The bursary programme is complemented by a programme which integrates bursary graduates into permanent employment at the beginning of each year.

Alberts Breed from the company said: : “It’s a privilege for us as a business to be able to contribute towards the future.

As the students continue with their studies, they must make the best of the opportunity given to them and be good ambassadors for others to follow.”

Breed also encouraged the students and urged them to work hard and to stay focused.

Through the bursary, Breed said, the company’s mission is to develop future-fit leaders that are sought after, and create legacies.

“It is at achievement celebrations such as these awards where we pause and reflect and acknowledge that we are indeed delivering on our purpose.”

“We value working with government to tackle the key socio-economic challenges facing South Africa, and believe that investing in education is a critical step towards building a sustainable inclusive economy.” he added

New mobile restaurant launched MBONGISENI MASEKO

R

ealising that her love for cooking was stronger than anything else, she quit her job at a nature reserve to start a mobile restaurant.

Gugulethu’s Zimkhitha Dwangu,38, on Saturday launched her mobile kitchen, called Queenzim Grillers in NY4, opposite Sivuyile Cape Town College.

Her dish comprises different mouth-watering offerings such as burger and chips, quarter chicken, wings, pork and livers complimented with steam bread, a full meal plate, coffee, break-fast and sandwiches.

The idea of starting the business was informed by her love of cooking, thanks to her mother, Linda Dwangu.

Linda and her Siyabulela started a restaurant in their home garage growing up.

“I loved cooking since I was very young.

My mother is the best at cooking and has taught all I know about the business side of things. She and my uncle later closed their business, but the bug had bitten and the idea of starting my own stayed in my mind ever since... I am doing business with something that I love and enjoy doing,” the young Dwangu said.

She had quit her job of six years in March at the Western Cape Nature Reserve, where she worked as a Bio-diversity legislation officer, to start the business.

“My former colleagues encouraged me to start the business. I used to wake-up very early in the morning and cook lunch for them. They enjoyed my food a lot. I received a number of orders from them,” she added.

She is not new in business world.

In 2010 she ran an entertainment company called Siyaneliseka Events where she would hire a tour bus and hold a mobile parties on board.

She then added a business doing traditional decorations for weddings and also bridal showers, which have since closed unfortunately.

According to her, she has also studied Travel and Tourism and worked for the British Airways as a service agent between 1999 and 2007.

She then moved to the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport as an administration officer from 2007 to 2010.

Dwangu said she was also involved in the FIFA World Cup 2010 project called FIFA Premium Project, in 2010. South Africa hosted the world cup in 2010.

She said her dream was to have more mobile kitchens and target busy places such as music events.

With this newly launched venture, Dwangu has created job opportunities for three unemployed youth from her neighbourhood.

“I was so happy when she told me that she wanted to start the business here. She is creating jobs for our unemployed youth. We

support her. It is situated in the right place.

Students from the college will no longer have to walk long distances to buy food which exposes them to street robberies. Her food is number one, the taste is number one,” Moyake said.

Blaahs celebrate another milestone with new committee The Blaahs Society has unveiled the newly elected committee which will serve its interests for the next three years.

Bishop V.V. Mtini was invited to the pro-

ceedings to offer his blessings.

The event was held at Fezeka High School in Gugulethu following the annual general meeting.

Mtini, who is also a member of the organization, led the procedings in prayer.

The newly elected office beares were also sworn in office, their roles and responsibilities were read to them. Mr Mkuyane said the

organisation was grateful to Bishop Mtini, for the role he has played in the organisation, making sure the ship was steady even during tempestuous times, as it was not always easy to run a big concern like Blaahs.

Learners are in for a warm winter MBONGISENI MASEKO

C

ape winters can be very cruel and biting, so it was a welcome relief for learners at a Gugulethu school to be donated sweaters to keep the cold at bay.

Add to that dictionaries and you have a bunch of learners who are not only warm during the cold period, but have sharp minds too.

Last Wednesday, Vuyani Primary School learners were full of happy smiles as they were the recipients of the benevolence of a donor who wanted to remain anonymous.

The jersey donation was worth a whooping R27 000 and the dictionaries were to the tune of R3000.

Gary Appleton, from Baleka, a company which provides administrative services for small businesses, said the donor, who is their client, approached him to find a school where they can donate about R30 000.

Mahlubi Ngqukuvana, the school principal, said he had then asked the donor if they can not use an amount of about R3000 from the money to buy school dictionaries for the learners, which he felt, was also top of their requirements.

Appleton, who was not sure which school to choose, then approached Siviwe Mini, his friend, who did not hesitate to recommend Vuyani, his Alma mater.

“The client asked to remain anonymous...

That’s I how I became in involved in the process.

I am happy... It will surely make a difference in the lives of the learners,” he said.

Ngqukuvana said he was happy with the donation and thanked Appleton, Mini and the donor.

“About eighty percent of our learners are coming from informal settlements and their parents cannot afford to buy school uniform for them.

I am a language teacher so I know of the need to have dictionaries. I wish that the relationship will go from strength to strength,” Ngqukuvana said.

Nosicelo Mraqisa, the chairperson of the School Governing Body (SGB), said the donation came at the right time.

“Parents are very happy. The donation came at the right time as winter is upon us.

Some learners do not have jerseys and some jerseys do not conform to the school uniform,” Mraqisa said

Self-funded movement hopes to empower vulnerable widows STAFF REPORTER “In the blink of an eye life can change for the worst.”

These are the potent words of Balungile Sakasa-Mini, who is one of the founding members of the Widow’s Empowerment Programme (WEP).

Sakasa-Mini said in a bid to share her journey from grief to success she and Dr Nomfundo Mali founded WEP in 2017.

“WEP is a movement for empowerment and support of widows with special emphasis on township and rural women who struggle to make ends meet after the loss of their husbands,” said Sakasa-Mini.

Dr Mali said WEP was neither an organization nor a government structure.

“Amongst other things WEP’s mission is to conduct empowerment workshops and various social development activities for widows in various Western Cape townships, farm communities and rural areas in other provinces,” she said.

These workshops cover expert areas such as legal support, life coaching and psychological guidance, spiritual therapy, educational, financial and entrepreneurship skills.

The first workshop for widows was to enhance a special grieving, healing and learning space for sharing experiences, crying

and comforting each other was held recently.

Dr Mali described it is “a very emotional workshop not only for widows but for the speakers and facilitators.” “ The objectives of the workshop was fully achieved as it was a platform created for widows to share the experiences , cry together, comfort each other and begin the journey together towards healing,” she said.

The WEP ensured that the program was a success through utilizing part of salaries of the founding members to secure sponsorships from various organizations and businesses such as the Castle of Good Hope, Move Magazine, and OK Grocery store in Blomtuin, Bellville, and Cocoa by Michelle Grass, Afrikaansetaalraad, and Centre for The Book.

As part of their journey towards healing and empowerment, sessions for legal, psychological, spiritual and entrepreneurial guidance was the core of the event and will continue on a regular basis. “ We want to appreciate all the support we have received and it is our wish and our long term objective that we secure permanent support from expert organizations on these special fields identified to support the widows. We will appreciate financial and any kind of support as the WEP is currently run through our pockets,” added Sakaza-Mini.

Seven people were arrested after being caught with boxes of stolen chicken in Zwelitsha Nyanga.

Frozen chicken thieves taken in after truck hijack in Langa MANDLA MAHASHE The Nyanga SAPS has warned parents to stop taking in stolen goods after seven people were caught with boxes of stolen chicken.

According to SAPS, the three women and four men aged between 23 and 57 were nabbed on Tuesday after a truck was accosted near Langa.

“The truck was allegedly hijacked by three armed suspects when the driver stopped at a red traffic light in Vanguard Drive near Langa.

The suspects took over the driving and blind-folded the driver, stashed him inside the boot of a car and drove away with him. They later dumped him in Mfuleni,” said police spokesperson Captain Ntomboxolo Sitshitshi.

The truck was later found in Zwelitsha were more than a hundred boxes of chicken were found hidden in seven houses.

“In some of the houses the boxes were found stashed under beds and couches.

Cases of hijacking and possession of stolen property will be investigated but the suspects who hijacked the truck are still at large,” she explained.

Once charged the suspects are expected to appear in the Athlone Magistrate Court for the possession of stolen property.

“The Station Management would like to appeal to the parents of the area to refrain from accepting stolen goods and

must engage their children and teach them to refrain from such actions. Crime can only be deterred when parents take a stand to say no,” she said.

Sitshitshi also urged motorists within the Nyanga, Gugulethu and Philippi areas to be vigilant as incidents of hijackings are on the rise.

She gave the following advice to motorist to avoid hijackings: . Plan your route in advance . Be on the look-out for suspicious people and vehicles following them. Keep a safe distance between you and a vehicle in-front of you to make it easy to drive away if anything may happen. . Avoid driving with windows open and keep doors locked at all times and lock valuables in the boot of the vehicle, out of sight of the criminals. . Do not give lift to strangers . Avoid stopping at remote places and when seeing suspicious people, leave early so that you arrive at your destination in time. . Avoid using cell phones while driving She also gave tips on how to handle a hijack situation: . If confronted by hijackers, the aim is to survive the crime. Be cool and not threaten or challenge the hijacker do exactly as told by hijackers. . Surrender your vehicle and move away. Remember property can be replaced but lives cannot.

If you opt to challenge them, then you are up against the heavy might of the lawyers as these companies invest so much in them.

Your chances of winning are very slim. If people can come out and share their stories many will be so shocked to see what our people are going through.

More and more people are losing their jobs. The department of labour and the trade unions that are supposed to be defending our people are nowhere to be found.

It is sad that in this day and age we are back to pre-1994 conditions of employment. Who is going to save us?

Just this should set you on a road to chilldom, if ever there was such a place: Top cop, or ex top cop Berning Ntlemeza vs Razzmatazz Mbalula, now police head honcho. on and off and on Ipid boss Robert McBride vs present top cop Khomotso Phahlane. Former ‘Cry baby’ and shebeen regular Brian Molefe vs the ANC. The list becomes endless and exciting.

We also have the opposition versus the ANC and the secret ballot in the Concourt.

Special assignment recently flighted an expose about what is currently happening in our places of employment.

In case you are oblivious to that. Here’s a brief.

The employers have found loopholes in the labour laws and have sworn to make our lives a misery and reverse the gains made to implement those.

On the show, we became privy to a couple of cases where our brothers and sisters have been unfairly treated.

Most of the victims were citing ‘racism’. Having been a victim of the same treatment in my previous job, I refer to it as selfishness on the part of the employers.

It seems as if our people are not fit to be working in these places. They are pushed to the point that they opt to

Not all men were employable, because of their political activism or enlightment.

Which explains why employers sought out migrant labourers.

Some of the city dwellers who were unemployable resorted to selling fruit and vegetables to eke out a living and feed their families.

Some became outfit salesmen instead of becoming beggars.

Some of their women would sell second-hand clothing to supplement their husband’s meagre earnings.

Selling of tripe, offal, skaapkop and so on became the order of the day.

Some dabbled in selling mealies and sheep wool to survive. Others visited dump sites to recycle unwanted wares like pail and paint buckets, clean them and resell them.

There were no government grants then, but people didn't go to the streets to beg.

Why, if the conditions are much better now than in the past, do our people become beggars then.

When I see an African woman begging, it is unacceptable to me. It’s not about whether she has children to support or not but the fact that her age automatically qualifies her for grant, and her grandchildren as well.

There are women in the townships who sell different things in order to supplement the grant.

Begging by healthy people is more about laziness and irresponsibility, and not African at all! It’s worse with men.

Men must work!

BABY

fricans were blessed with the most important facets in life; Ubuntu, tolerance and diligence.

It is because of our love for fellow human beings, that we welcomed strangers among us, who later turned betrayed us; becoming our colonizers.

We are a very tolerant national group.

We also persevere even if prospects on the other side of the mountain do not promise much.

When even pessimism is the dominant factor, we persevere.

We are coming in from the cold, under different kinds of exploitation and oppression.

From colonialism to apartheid; from a superficial position, no one will understand how Africans went through these systems. Colonialism affected all Black people in the same manner as Apartheid did. Apartheid was another form of colonialism. Under Apartheid, triple oppression was very much clear but this doesn’t suggest colonialism was better.

As much as class is not a colour affair but the fact that Africans suffered exploitation more than other workers is indisputable.

The Black working class was exploited and subjugated, degraded and without representation.

The third oppression is gender based, including women in other national groups, where gender oppression meant not to be given equal rights to men.

But with the African woman it was worst.

The passbook was used as a tool to alienate them from their husbands.

Husband had to leave homes as migrant labourers to work in the cities.

This was after their life-style was harshly changed by colonialism through land dispossession.

They lost most of the productive lands, and were left with small arable land.

Black women were not allowed in the cities. Those in the cities did not have rights and could not be employed. Even those born and bred in the cities did not have full rights like other national groups.

What did they do to earn living, go and beg on the street? No!

“Bring services closer to people” MONIQUE DUVAL

W

ith a lack of education around how local government works, newly appointed Area Central Mayco member, Siyabulela Mamkeli, believes in working hard to provide the public with information so they can better access these services.

Since the implementation of the Organisational Development and Transformation Plan (ODTP), Capetonians have seen a shift in the mayoral committee and the introduction of four area-based Mayco members who are tasked with overseeing service delivery across various City departments in a defined geographical area.

In this week’s edition of Municipal Matters, City Vision chats to Mamkeli who now manages the area known as Area Central which stretches from Athlone to Parow and covers Manenberg, Gugulethu, Bellville, Bishop Lavis, Elsies River and Goodwood among others.

Mamkeli was born and raised in East London and first came to Cape Town during the 1990s and took up his first job as a factory worker. He has been a community activist for 18 years and he has served as Ward Youth Development Forum Chairperson under the Buffalo City Metro Municipality Youth Forum.

He has also served as a representative of Youth in Agriculture and Development under the Buffalo City Farmers’ Association and later served as the organisation’s secretary.

He later joined the DA and served as chairperson of the utility services portfolio committee until 2012.

He highlights the 2012 by-election where he was elected as the councillor for ward 45 which covers Manenberg as the turning point in his career. Mamkeli says, it was this election that he realised that voters were not interested in voting along racial lines or petty politics but wanted public representatives to help improve their communities.

He was later appointed as the subcouncil 11 chairperson and in 2014 was appointed as the Mayco member for human settlements and later appointed as the Mayco member for health.

Speaking to the City Vision at his office in Goodwood, Mamkeli says as part of the ODTP one of his first objectives is to ensure that the turn-around time for complaints and service delivery requests is reduced to just three days. “Most of the staff don’t even

Siyabulela Mamkeli know yet, but I believe that we need to be accessible to people and that is why I will be watching every City office that is providing a service is ensuring that matters are dealt with as soon as possible and that the public receives feedback.”

Mamkeli says Area East consists of six subcouncils and 30 wards. Among some of the biggest challenges, he says, is that the area has the highest number of rental stock units.

“This means we spend time tackling all the social issues and especially drugs at these units, so it remains a challenge. In addition there are many things affecting progress on housing developments as we now have gangsters who are demanding pro-

tection money,” he says.

At the top of his priority list is tackling economic development through transport orientated development. This, he says, focuses on the planned upgrade of the Bellville Public Transport Interchange and the Athlone CBD. He believes, local economic hubs need to be rejuvenated to attract investment and entrepreneurs to create employment and in-turn help relieve traffic congestion as more people can work closer to home.

Mamkeli says they are clamping down on erroneous property owners who have allowed their properties to dilapidate over time. With the recent formation of a problem building task team by the Bellville Subcouncil, Mamkeli says this is a pilot project that

they hope to duplicate in other economic hubs such as Athlone.

“We want property owners to either shape up or ship out.

As we work to develop these hubs we cannot allow the areas to deteriorate.”

In addition to formal businesses, Mamkeli says there is a need to help develop hubs for informal traders and entrepreneurs.

“If you look at the Gugulethu meat market, there is so much potential but currently the aesthetics are not good. So we will be looking at creating these markets where people can trade in a dignified manner and in a healthy way. Ideally, once these hubs are established, the business owners should form trading associations and they take over the responsibility for these areas.”

Another burning issue in Area East, Mamkeli says, is the PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL provision of services to backyard dwellers.

He says while people wait for formal housing the provision of these services is essential and the roll-out will continue.

While Mamkeli will be focusing on various improvements in Area East, he says at the centre of it all is the transversal management of all departments and bringing residents closer to the City. “While I was on a course in Johannesburg, the lecturer said that when people are protesting about service delivery, the term ‘service delivery protest’ is actually incorrect. The lecturer said it should be called non-service delivery protests because people are upset that something is not being done.

In Area East the vision is to bring services closer to the people.

Man (55) car-jacked in Gugs A fender bender took a turn for the worst in Gugulethu when a 55-year-old man was carjacked.

According to a report from the Nyanga cluster police, the man was driving his Uno along NY56 when he hit another vehicle on Monday 15 May at about 07:30.

Police spokesperson, Captain Daphne O’Reilly, says the driver of the other vehicle got out of his car and slapped the 55-yearold man in the face.

She says a second man then approached the 55year-old man and hit him with a firearm.

“The suspect then jumped into the Uno of the complainant and sped off the scene.

No shots were fired in this insident.”

Uniforms usher in era of renewal S

ounds of joy reverberated through the walls of the Endlovini Community Hall in New Crossroads as The Christ Healing Fountain Ministries held a uniform ceremony a fortnight ago, thus bringing in to the realm of their service a new era.

It was the first time in its eight years of existence that the church held the ceremony.

Church secretary Kholeka Dudumashe said the “uniforms separated congregants according to units”.

“Women of certain ages and marital status would wear a certain colour uniform,” she said.

She added that the congregants were “excited” to be part of the experience.

“It was a joyous occasion and Apostle

Mnapu remarked that though uniform separated ‘sheep from goat’, it was each and everyone’s heart that mattered,” said Kholeka.

The congregation had earlier witnessed the ordination of about 15 pastors in the service of the Christ Healing Church, which is led by Apostle David Mteteleli Mnapu.

“This is a great occasion for the ministry...

We unveil new uniforms and we unleash fifteen pastors to continue the work of God,” said Apostle Mnapu.

The 15 pastors were: Xolile Fula, Lungile Mtwana, Lungile Groom, Martha Mahote, Nobesuthu Tom, ThembinkosI Masiza, Thulani Nqoji, Masibulele Mgidi, Alulutho Sigonya, Elvis Ngcakaza, Simo Luwaca, Sivuyile Totolo, Lulama Dlelaphantsi, Nonkalipho Gwadela and Paul Simon Fumile.

Apostle MD Mnapu and Rev G Komani with two unnamed visitors to the church.

The Men’s Auxilliary are proud of their new uniforms.

Kingdom Kids performed a few songs of praise during the event

My name is Asanda from Fishoek and my no is 073 408 7423 Life is beautiful when you meet someone who keeps her word and changes life for better.

Money is no longer my problem since MAMA SARA blessed me with lots of money in my account. In years have been robbed by fake Doctors who demanded money from me without help. When I first read the testimony about MAMA SARA, I never believed, untill I tried to call her, just to find out her services. She explained about how people get rich through Short boys, Magic Wallet, Ring money, money in the house or Account and many more. I was interested in getting money in my Account since I was far from her. She asked me to provide her with my account and my names and R1000 within 30 minutes R350,000 notified in my phone. Then I went to the bank even though I was scared but there were no questions. My husband also tried Money in the house and he was shocked to see the bag full of money.Thank you MAMA SARA for saving my life.

You are indeed ablesser.

Win tickets to see Joyous Celebration C

ity Vision and MTN Joyous Celebration are giving away three double tickets and other goodies to gospel lovers for the Heal the Nation concert on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 June at the Good Hope Christian Church in Ottery.

Launched during Easter, the Heal The Nation concert was hailed as a vintage Joyous Celebration offering as it calls on people across the globe to pray for healing.

In December 2016, MTN Joyous Celebration joined hands and hearts with The Potter’s House of Dallas in the USA, under the leadership of Bishop T.D. Jakes, for a memorable and unprecedented recording. This event has given birth to the ensembles’ 21st album, aptly themed “Heal our Land” and comes at a time when our nation and the world at large needs much healing.

According to co-founder, Pastor Jabu Hlongwane, the recording and the much-anticipated album is a seed that Joyous Celebration jointly and prayerfully planted together with The Potter’s House.

“May it germinate. May it reach every heart across the globe and bear fruits that will bring healing to our land,” he says.

“We ask everyone to join us to pray for the healing we so desperately need.”

“We are celebrating our 21st anniversary, and there is a lot to be excited about on this year’s tour because we are coming of age.

The response we encountered in the USA during the recording and the support, prayers and well wishes from people here at home and across the globe was phenomenal.

For this, we are truly humbled and believe that not only will the world receive our latest offering with enthusiasm, but will also strongly relate and resonate with

“We have come a long way with MTN Joyous Celebration and are proud to be associated with this award-winning ensemble as they come of age with their 21st offering to their multitudes of fans. We

have no doubt that this will be the biggest tour in the group’s history and we hope everyone will join hands and spread the “Heal our Land” message that MTN Joyous Celebration will be sharing with communities” said Larry Annetts, Chief Consumer Officer at MTN SA.

Keeping up with their tradition and passion of nurturing, developing and introducing fresh talent, the production also welcomes “newbies” Siyakha Tshayela (Alto), Khaya Sibanyoni and Gospel Silinda (Tenors), Frank Mavhimara (Guitar), Junior Petja (Keyboard), Khola Phalatse (Bass Gui-

Young entrepreneurs geared to ‘I am HIV positive, not cursed’ fly higher as they get wings CYNTHIA MASEKO

This year’s edition of the Red Bull Amaphiko Academy commenced this week.

The Amaphiko Academy, established in 2014, grew out of Red Bull’s ongoing mission to identify and develop talented people and to help them achieve their full potential. In the past, Red Bull had focused on athletes, musicians and dancers. As a natural extension of this mission, Amaphiko was launched to “give wings” specifically to grassroots social entrepreneurs who are making a positive difference in their communities, and to inspire a broad audience to do the same.

Red Bull Amaphiko’s program was designed to provide social entrepreneurs with the inspiration, mentorship, practical skills and tools they need to take themselves and their businesses to the next level. It includes development programs such as lectures and workshops, digital know-how and resources. It also connects its participants to a supportive world-wide community of like-minded individuals willing to contribute their skills, resources and time. In just three years, the Amaphiko Academy has become a global program, spreading its wings into Brazil and the USA. This year, 16 of South Africa’s brightest social entrepreneurs will come together in Mamelodi, Pretoria, for a 10-day residential programme of mentorship, inspiration and practical skills training. Participants will have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with mentors who include leading local and international innovators, entrepreneurs and storytellers. Afterwards, they will continue working over the next 18 months with their mentors one-on-one, to further develop business and personal strategies for the plans that they will bring to life.

Thabang Mabapa is a past Amaphiko Academy participant, whose business, Selokong Sa Dimelana (SSD), focuses on the

Ntlahla Nkukwana (23): TownNtlahla’s project, I am selfmade, is an online platform that aims to improve financial literacy by teaching financial management and investment skills. farming and processing of castor oil for biofuel production. He had this to say of his Red Bull Amaphiko experience: “The support and mentorship that I received at the Red Bull Amaphiko Academy helped me to realise the potential of my business, and to understand how it could become sustainable. Amaphiko helped me lay a solid foundation and transform SSD into a social enterprise that makes an impact while driving profits.”

Red Bull believes that the social challenges of a country like South Africa are most effectively addressed when ordinary people use their creativity and energy to find innovative solutions to problems in their own communities. Red Bull Amaphiko aims to support people who do just that, helping to empower individuals creating social change, and to celebrate their achievements with a wider audience, with the hope of inspiring everyone to make a difference in their own way.

A young man, diagnosed with HIV and advised to start anti-retroviral treatment, chose instead to please his family and turn to the church for help.

Thulani Sibiya (23) went for years without taking his ARV treatment in order to please his mother. (File photo) Now Thulani Sibiya (23) is sick, he has lost weight and has to face his family’s rejection if he chooses to take the treatment he needs in order to fight the virus. His story, according to the healthcare worker treating him, is not unusual as many young people find themselves having to face down the stigma of Aids.

When Sibiya told his mother he was HIV positive, she refused to accept the news and chose instead to take him to church for prayers and holy water.

Despite knowing about the HI virus and that he needed medical treatment, Sibiya chose instead to please those closest to him and to rather trust that they had his best interests at heart.

But as time passed, Sibiya grew sick and started losing weight despite him attending church with his mother. He felt his family did not understand his illness and were treating him as though he was cursed.

Sibiya grew sick and started losing weight despite him attending church with his mother. He felt his family did not understand his illness and were treating him as though he was cursed.

“By that time I knew I had to do something about my sickness, because I could no longer expect support from my family.

I went to the clinic. My blood was taken and sputum for a TB test. My CD4 count results came back 117 and the TB test was negative. I was put on treatment immediately, but it hasn’t been easy,” Sibiya

said.

He said when he was tested positive for HIV he was aware of the importance of a good diet “Though after I tested HIV positive I was told about the importance of a good diet and healthy lifestyle.”

But as the years passed as he went without treatment, the stress began to overwhelm him.

“I neglected my health, started eating unhealthy food, smoking and drinking alcohol. Deep down in my heart I knew it was bad. My unhealthy body started failing to fight off disease and infections and my viral load was high. I became sick and I needed to started ARV’s immediately,” Sibiya said, explaining how he became increasingly aware of the need to properly handle his HIV status.

“Because I eventually started ARV treatment at a late stage with a weak immune system and high viral load, I know recovering will take a long time and it won’t be easy to fight sickness. That’s why I have been experiencing late HIV symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, diarrhoea, coughing, weight loss, fever and tiredness,” Sibiya said.

But his mother, Thokozile Sibiya, still does not believe her son cannot be healed by the church.

“After drinking church water I received the answer to my prayers. My high blood pressure has been stable and I have not taken a pill ever since. What’s wrong with having faith? I have that same faith and hope for my son,” she said.

Lay counsellor Doris Nkosi said many HIV sufferers experienced a similar lack of support from their families.

“The reason why some HIV positive people die, and don’t want to start treatment is due to the negative influence of people who do n’t accept their HIV status.

Slave Route growing strong T

he popular Slave Route Challenge took take place on Sunday.

Runners took to the streets of Cape Town in celebration of the city’s history and heritage.

The running events started at the City Hall and ended at the Grand Parade.

Crossing the finish line first in the 21.1km was Subiso Madikizela, and Siboniso Soldaka reclaiming his title for the 10km.

Madikizela, who hails from Khayelitsha said he was very glad to have won the race.

“I am utterly excited because I am currently preparing for an overseas competition where I will be running in Europe in June,” said Madikizela.

The 26 year-old runner revealed that he was on a “fundraising effort” to cover the costs of his dream trip.

“I am looking for sponsors and winning the Slave Route Challenge may open doors for me. I would like to thank my coach Ernie Gruhn for showing belief in me as an athlete,” he said.

Bulelwa Simae was the first woman to complete the 21.1km, and Vuyiseka Nkumenga took the 10km.

Presented by the Itheko Sport Athletic Club, and sponsored by Metropolitan, the Slave Route Challenge honours the heritage and culture of Cape Town, as well as the dispossessed individuals who contributed significantly to the development of the city and South Africa.

Now in its seventh year, the Sunday race attracted about 8000 runners.

Head of Branding at Metropolitan, Llewellyn Allen, who participated in the 10km race, says that the Slave Route Challenge is like no other, “the story of this race sets it apart. It’s a run with purpose – something we’re very passionate about at Metropolitan”.

He also says that the energy of the race is incomparable: “a race truly for the Cape Town community”.

Radio DJs, Carissa Cupido and Seano Loots who were a part of the “I Run This” campaign, also participated.

“The Western Cape league is one of the toughest compared to others and I hope the experience we gained will guide us to victory,” said Siheke.

The play-offs will be held in East London in July.

Should Zizwe United FC win there it will mean they will be granted the status to play in the National First Division (NFD).

“We are more than ready for the challenge. We signed on six former players from PSL and NFD. We would like to thank our supporters from across the province that were there for us through-out. Their support was

marvellous. We are still going to need their support,” Siheke said.

The side is guided by Julius Dube the former coach of Mthatha Bucks. The team only lost one game, had seven draws and won the rest of 30 games they played in the season.

Zizwe was formed in June 2014 and was formally known as Mbekweni United. )Meanwhile kickoff .com has revealed that the sale of National First Division franchise Cape Town All Stars has been agreed on in principle with the deal due to be completed this week.

All Stars have been on the market for a while now and following the completion of the first division season, KickOff.com can now confirm that the transaction will go through in the next couple of days.

All Stars were formed seven years ago.
