NY 138 Number 52.Africa has a strong reputation both as a

solo performer and band leader.He creates sumptuous piano improvisa-

tions and compositions, drawing from hisrich cultural and musical background.

He draws on influences ranging from clas-sics or carnival songs through township jazzto a Malay musical heritage.

A co-founder of the Afro/jazz group Dis-trict Six, Africa toured with his co-bandmembers Brian Abrahams and Russel Her-man and recorded two albums before finallyleaving the group in 1987.

He later toured with singer Carmel, con-tributing compositions andarrangements toher album Set Me Free.

Africa established a strong reputationboth as a solo performer and band leader.

In 1981 he left his homeland to settle in theU.K searching out work in bands of fellowexiles, the likes of trumpeter Hugh Mase-kela, percussionist Julian Bahula and saxo-phonist Dudu Pukwana.

At 66, he returns to anold turf in thenativeyards of Gugulethu where his compatriots,Ezra Ngcukana and Winston MankunkuNgozi hail from, to perform with bass playerSpencer Mbadu and the visiting British sax-ophonist Alvin Davis.

Tickets are R80 at the door.

Mervyn Africa is ready to mesmerise jazz lovers.

MOTIVATIONzyd mzamo

Poverty is only a state of themind, just come to think of itWho are the richest people in theworld.

Please understand my question. I amnot saying, who is the richest personin the world.

I am asking, who are the richestpeople in the world. Is it politicians. Ifit is, the question will be; where didthey get the money. So it is not thembecause if it were, everyone would liketo become one so that they could lootthe state.

That is where their riches comefrom. They suppress everyone andafter that they do as they like. Theytake over the state treasury and bareveryone from speaking. So it is notthey.

If it is not them, who are they. Doyou know the answer. Think about itfor a while before you answer. I don’twant you to become polemic and sayall sorts of things that are irrelevantto this topic.

The richest people in the world arebusiness people. What is cool for thewealthy is not cool for the poor. Forinstance, the wealthy would rathertake risks than tie themselves to a 9 to5 job. They would rather take risksand fail many times over than workfor 50 years and when they retirethere is nothing to show for it. But thepoor don’t see it that way. They wouldrather work for 50 years than takerisks. When you ask them why, theanswer is obvious; they don’t wantproblems. The poor see problems. Theysee failure. They see crime. They don’twant to be robbed. Play it safe. Andstay alive.

That’s their motto. The motto of therich is; behind every problem is ablessing. I find that enlightening.Whenever confronted with problems,ask; “Where’s the blessing” It isprobably somewhere waiting to berevealed.

But because we are focused onproblems, we don’t see it. We haveproblems in this country. South Africais likely to be downgraded to a junkstate. Some say it is because of thePresident. Why did he fire Nene. Somesay it is because of the Guptas. TheGuptas are in charge. They appointministers. They bankroll the Zumas.But here’s the thing; if the Guptas arekicked out, will your situation change.I doubt it. As long as your povertythinking exists, it won’t. It is not otherpeople that are holding you back. It isyou. What are you doing with whatyou have? Why are you sitting on it?

I’m sure you know what I mean.There’s no need to go there. I’ve saidit before. You’ve got what it takes. Butyou play victim. You reckon you areincapable. So you become. It is you tochange you. Once you do, you’ll takeoff. Stay positive.

There are indications that the Easter pedes-trian death toll in the metro is higher thanpreviously reported.

An unconfirmed report received from theWestern Cape Department of Health’s Fo-rensic Pathology Services indicates that asubstantial number of pedestrians were fa-tally injured in the metropolitan area overthe past Easter weekend.

These deaths occurred mostly late at nightor in the early hours of the morning. As re-ported by the Department, preliminary fig-ures obtained from traffic centres, emergen-cy services and the SAPS previously indicat-ed a single fatal pedestrian road trafficinjury in the Metro over the Easter week-end. The Department of Transport is in theprocess of confirming these reoprts.

Road deaths may be higher than reported

ANC factions fighting over postsMBONGISENI MASEKO

A pepper spray, a knife, change of ven-ue, squabbles over the rightful candi-date are all the ingredients that make

up the stew for the up-coming local govern-ment elections in Lower Crossroads, andthings are not promising to get any better.

On one side is Mzwanele Jokani,40, amember of both theANCandSanco,whohasopened a case of assault against a fellowmember of the ANC.

Jokani alleges that said member pepper-sprayed and threaten to stab him after heand other members demanded to know whytheir names were removed from the list forcandidacy as councillors in the up-comingelections.

“Instead she and her sister sprayed meand tookout aknife, threatening to stabme.”

On the day of the interview, members ofboth Sanco and the ANCwere seen filing in-to the hall for a meeting.

Jokani said they had also demanded toknow why a branch general meeting was di-verted to a hall in Ireland instead of a com-munity hall in Lower Crossroads as resi-dents had expected.

“The woman swore at and the pepper-sprayed me. I was busy on my phone whenher sister came with a knife intending tostab me, but other members pushed heraway.

“How can the regional office send some-one so violent... I did not expect to be assault-ed by my comrades, who should be the onesprotecting me instead,” Jokani said.

Lieutenant Bheki Xulu, Philippi-EastSAPS Corporate Communication office said“the case was registered, but there is no ar-rest at the stage investigation has beenlaunched,”

Sandla Mashiyi, also a member of ANCand Sanco in Lower Crossroads, said Coun-cillor Mzuzile Mpondwana of Ward 35 andother members of the ANC moved the meet-

ing to another venue without informinganyone else.

“They changed the venuewithout tellingus so that they would get a chance to votefor their own candidate without being op-posed, but we managed to find-out, hencewe stopped it(the meeting). They are push-ing for their candidate who is not chosenby the entire community.

“Our candidate would (have)been leftout should the BGM have continued. Wewant someone from the national office tobe deployed to observe our BGM, and notsomeone from the region, because we nolonger (have)trust them,” Mashiyi said.

He said the reason is that the factionalgroup wanted to vote for Mpondwana to bere-elected for the position of councillor.

But the community has chosen Mbonis-wa Nelson Chitha whom they described assomeone who has done a wonderful job inthe area in the past.

“The entire community has vowed thatno one is going to take part in the votingin this area if he (Chitha) is not the candi-date for councillor,” he added.

Mpondwana in response, said the BGMwas “disrupted” by some communitymem-bers who are “not members of the ANC.”

He said the BGM was organised by theBranch Executive Committee (BEC), andnot theward councillor and that BEC is theone that decided the venue.

“The print out of the list was not doneby the branch, but by the national office oftheANCand they are the oneswho auditedthe list (of names).

Everything was explained to everyoneseveral times. It might happen that somewho did not appear on the list had lapsedmembership.

“The ANC took a decision in Mangaungthat for someone to qualify to be a candi-date for councillor one must have been amember for ANC for at least six months asopposed to eight weeks.

They just chose not to understand it. Theyhave a personal vendetta against me that iswhy they are saying all negative things

about me,” he said. The ANC nedia office intheWestern Cape was not available for com-ment at the time of going to print.

Triple jeopardy for father, sons

Phathilizwe Kumkati, 76, and his son Nkosinathi Kumkati, 37, are living ahard life after their mobility was affected, in Khayelitsha.

Life has taken a difficult turn for a fatherand his two sons since different circum-stances forced them to be wheelchair

bound.Phathilizwe Kumkati, 76, and his sons

Nkosinathi, 37, and Simphiwe, 26, were ablebodied individuals until fate decided differ-ently.

It has taken chronic illnesses, and a caraccident to render them incapable of walk-ing on their own.The elder Kumkati was diagnosedwith di-

abetes which resulted in both legs being am-putated below the knees in 2010.

Nkosinathi developed an illness whichweakened his nervous system, and led to pa-ralysis of the legs just as he was finishinggrade 12.

The younger Simphiwe suffered sevenbrokenbones onhis left side after his car col-lided with another car in Mthatha, in theEastern Cape in 2013.

His car was driven by his friend whom hehired to drive him as he did not have a driv-ers licence.Hewasa teacherat the timeof theaccident

which left him dependent on a wheelchairfor mobility.

He taught at Mlotsana Primary School inMthatha, before he moved in the city to becloser to Tygerberg Hospital where he un-dergoes treatment.Kumkati said their day-to-day life has be-

come a struggle as they had to adapt to theirdifficult conditions.

“I was given artificial legs, but I cannotuse them now, because they are so heavy forme. Moving around on a wheelchair is alsoa problem for me because my hands are notstrong enough to drive it. Life is hard for us.At times I have to cook for us and also dowashingwhenmydaughter (Kwanele) is nothere. I also clean the house. I would be betterif we could get someone to fix the electronicwheelchair for us,” he said.

The electronically wheelchair was donat-ed to Nkosinathi by some Good Samaritansas part of Mandela Day about three yearsago.

The family had since been sharing onemanual wheelchair to go around after thatone broke down.

Theywere lucky enough to receive a dona-tion of another manual wheelchair whichwas made available by Monde Nqulwana,

South African Communist Party (SACP)District Chairperson, Mayibuye Branch inKhayelitsha, on Monday.Nkosinathi, who spends most of his time

lying on bed, described his condition as “de-pressing.”“I had a laptop that was keeping me busy

which had programmes designed for mycondition, but someone came in the houseand stole it. The computer had Dragon(Speech Recognition software) programmesand games. I also did a course in WebDesignCode in that computer. My life is depressingnow. I wish to get a laptop with those pro-grammes,” Nkosinathi said.

“Our life has changed now after we got thewheelchair, because we had to share onewheelchair.

The accident changedmy dreams in awaythat I did not expect. I was working, but nowI am wheelchair bound.

Nqulwana said this donation was part oftheir programme known as “know yourneighbour and act”. It encourages theirmembers to know about residents who areneed in their areas.

“As leaderswemust have an eye to the res-idents who have special needs, because theyare also part of the community.We say the government must have posi-

tions advertised specifically for those whoare disabled so theywill not have to competewith those who are not disabled for employ-ment. Look at Simphiwe, he has qualifica-tions, but he is sitting at home, because heis now disabled. It must be depressing forhim,”He also said there is a lot that still needs

to be done to help those who have specialneeds in communities such as building com-munity halls to be user friendly to thosewhohave special needs.

Kumkati’s yard also needs to be paved soit will be easier for them to push theirwheel-chair around.

Simphiwe Kumkati, 26, was happy to receive a donation of wheelchairfrom SACP Mayibuye Branch in Khayelitsha, last Monday. Seen here isMonde Nqulwana, the SACP District Chairperson.

Tutu foundation donates scannersTutu foundation donates scannersMBONGISENI MASEKO

TB is recognised as the number one kill-er in the country, and to highlight theseriousness of the disease theDesmond

and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation donatedTen Electrocardiogram machines scannersrecently.The eventwasheld at theGugulethuScout

Hall in NY79 last Thursday.This year’s International World Tubercu-

losis Day (WTBD) was commemorated un-der the theme “Unite to end TB”.The ECG scans are designed to monitor

the function of the heart, while patients areon the medication to end TB.A statment released by the provincial

health department indicates that SouthAfri-ca has the sixth highest TBprevalence in theworld, But the country is numberOne whenadjusted for the population size, and is oneof the 22 high burden countries that contrib-ute approximately 80% of the total globalburden of all TB cases.The event also saw dozens of residents

testing for TB and HIV/Aids on the day.Razaan Bailey, programme manager for

Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Founda-tion, said ECGwill help in finding a solution

to treat TB.“TB is the number one killer in SouthAf-

rica. 73 percent of peoplewho areHIV posi-tive also suffer from TB. The archbishop(Desmond Tutu) also had TB when he wasyoung and he spent a year in hospital un-dergoing treatment. It is important that TBpatients take treatment as needed,” Baileysaid.In 2014, the Medicines Control Council

(MCC) of South Africa approved the use ofBedaquiline (medication) for the treat-ment of certain types of DrugResistant Tu-berculosis (DRTB).A possible serious side effect relating to

Bedaquilline use is abnormal heartrhythm.Although this is an uncommon side ef-

fect according to the studies, it is still rec-ommended that medical practitionersmonitor this by doing a monthly ECG scanto monitor the function of the heart, whilepatients are on this medication.Dr Jennie Morgan, a family physician at

the Gugulethu Clinic, said the ECG willmake it easy for them to monitor the sideeffects of the medication within five min-utes.“It is important for residents to check for

TB and stop the spread. It is true that CapeTown is leading when it comes to TB infec-tions in the country. Add the fact that in in-formal settlements, people live closer to eachother and there is a lack of ventilation,” DrMorgan said.Nelisa Gagayi, 31, came in to check her

TB status on the day. “I am here to test forTB, because I heard that it is rife in the coun-try. I want to protect my children from get-ting infected in case I am diagnosed with it.It is important that people know their TBstatus,” Gagayi said. She also said her eldersister, Nosiphiwo Gagayi, was diagnosedwith TB and she had since been cured fromit.The latest statistics show that 9.5% of TB

clients defaulted on treatment, which is anincrease of approximately 1% from the pre-vious year. The statement also said in 2015anewstrategy, knownas ’90 90 90’was adopt-ed bymany countries, including South Afri-ca.The aim is that by 2020, 90% of all people

living with HIV will know their status, 90%of those eligible for treatment with ARTwillbe on sustained treatment, and 90%ofpeopleon ART will have suppressed viral loads.The strategy has also been adapted for TB,

so that by 2020, 90% of vulnerable groupsshould have been screened for TB, 90% ofpeople with TB should be diagnosed andstarted on treatment, and 90% of those treat-ed for TB should be cured.

CITY VISIONThursday, 31 March 201610 OPINIONS

Today’s fast-paced lifestyle has made us agreedy and self-serving society.We are too busy chasing material

possessions to see when our loved onesare depressed.Suicide is one of the scary realities of

modern life. When someone feels helplessand unloved, they start thinking aboutdeath. Many people have considered tyinga noose around their neck and ending itall. They think no one cares about theirpain.This is not the case. Suicidal people

often reach out for help but they areignored by those around them.We take them seriously only when they

are dead. We need to be alert and realisewhen someone needs assistance.Helping someone does not mean you

have to give them money. Offering ashoulder to cry on or listening to some-

one’s problems is the first step to recov-ery.Talking is therapy for the soul.However, true healing also empowers.

As the old saying goes, when you give aman a fish, you feed him for a day. Whenyou teach him how to fish, you feed himfor a lifetime.Let’s stop ignoring those who are

crying out for help. If we continue doingso we run the risk of weakening ourcommunities and we will have no one tosupport us during our time of need.Everyone feels pain and no one isimmune to suicidal thoughts.I urge everyone to listen to what their

relatives, friends, colleagues and neigh-bours have to say. Listening to someone’stroubles just might save a life.

BUKHO MAMKELIMfuleni

We need to listen tothose suicidal voices

Life holds many challenges, but our mainpurpose is to be happy.That means we should all learn to

recognise the good in every situation.We must keep our eyes open and our

minds pure to appreciate the good in life.The journey of life is much more

enjoyable if you follow your dreams withenthusiasm.Most of the time opportunities present

themselves, so we need to develop an eyeto spot them and the courage to take theinitiative. We need courage to compro-

mise on the less important things forimportant ones.We also need courage to choose the

good, even when the bad seems tempting.Courage will help us to stand alone if a

situation calls for it, yet maintain ourhappiness.We are responsible for our own happi-

ness. Be happy over the little that youhave today, for that will help you achievemore tomorrow.

LIZO VELEBHAYIHarare

Life is a journey, live to the full

Very often I come across young peoplebegging in the streets and I ask themwhy they are begging and not doingsomething with their lives.Most say their poor backgrounds

drove them to the streets, while otherssay they had to leave school due tolack of funds.The truth is, no situation is too

difficult to be defeated. If your familybackground forced you to drop out ofschool, it is your duty to devise otheroptions that will see you escape thejaws of poverty, and begging shouldnot be one of them.What I am saying is that not every-

one has to go the academic route tomake it in life. The fact that you aremaking the absence of resources anexcuse is proof that you have accepteddefeat.

Strong-minded people can grow aplant in a desert. It does not matterwhere you grew up, there is always anopportunity to explore. That beingsaid, rural areas and squatter camps,as impoverished as they are, arecapable of producing dynamite.Remember, if you keep on saying

people will never ever understand howdifficult and complicated your life is,you are unconsciously reinforcingyour unfortunate situation.Find yourself, get out of that shell

and you will see that where there is awill, there is a way. The world has ahabit of making way for those whoknow where they are going. Be like achoir conductor, who shows people hisback as he performs.

MALUSI DLAMINIvia email

Street begging shows defeat

To build a strong nation we must betough. The situation is not bad as it looksbut its worse and its getting extremelyworse.The streets are red with blood and dark

with gloom and fear. Daylight robbery ishappening and becoming ‘normal’.Killings are a reality of each and every-day. The freedom and unlimited “humanrights” is killing the black nation. Manyyoungsters are quitting school at primarylevel and yet we are expecting profession-al engineers, lawyers and doctors.Yet every year in SONA government is

emphasizing on building infrastructurefor development. The question remains,where is this nation going.Who will build this roads, schools and

clinics for the promised development.

The only tangible solutions are that wemust get the youth back into classroomsand hours of learning should not bedisturbed.Every school must have a library, and

no girl-child should be beneficiary ofsocial grant if they are not attendingschool.The quality and standard of education

must be increased. Government shouldensure its tough to be a prisoner and nobenefits are given to those behind thebars. To be a prisoner it must not lookinteresting at all. Youth must be a afraidto go to prison. However this will only beimplementable if we start to buildmentally strong youth.

Gugs 7 heroes left us a legacy

Thirty years ago Gugulethu lost itsinnocence in a hail of gunfire onNY 111, and has yet to properly

healed.When the gunsmoke cleared, and the

chorus of township dogs reached itspeak, seven young patriots lay dead inthe dirt.They were Mandla Simon Mxinwa,

Zandisile Zenith Mjobo, Zola AlfredSwelani, Godfrey Jabulani Miya,Christopher Piet, Themba Molefi andZabonke John Konlie.Seven young freedom fighters lured

into a trap by police and murdered incold blood in the street. Brutallybutchered. Photographs of police withfirearms standing and smiling above thebodies of their victims, like huntersstanding over their trophies, revealedthe state of mind of our oppressor.If the police thought their savagery

would dissuade others from opposingthe state, it was a total miscalculation.It galvanized us. The death of theGugulethu Seven made us stronger.They did not die in vain.I remember 3 March 1986 as if it were

yesterday. It was a beautiful Mondaymorning. Around 7am. As we would sayin my language: lalizole nasebukhwenibe zinja.South Africa was in the grip of a

State of Emergency, and we knew thesound of gunfire. But this gunfire wasdifferent. On that fateful Mondaymorning the people of Gugulethu,Section 3 in particular, were literally

shaken by the sounds of blazing, heavycalibre firearms.The apartheid predator had struck. A

police unit that included Major DolfOdendaal and Warrant Officer Belling-ham had spilled the blood of ourpatriots. We were to learn from witness-es that some were “finished off” atpoint-blank range, that firearms wereplaced on the bodies to give the appear-ance that it was the police who hadcome under attack.The group had been infiltrated by

police and their deaths were as a resultof a chilling calculation.We surged into the streets in great

numbers to see what disaster hadstruck. The curious, the outraged andthe terrified, multitudes of us, runningtowards the intersection of NY111 andNY1 to see the blood spilled on ourcommunity’s breast.Christopher Piet, alone, had 18 bullets

in his body. That night, his motherwatched the television news and sawfootage of her son being dragged by achain around his neck, like a dog.Because, the police said, he may havehad explosives under his body.Although they had received some

military training, the Gugulethu Sevenwere not battle-hardened soldiers. Theywere youths activists, and members ofboth the Cape Youth Congress (Cayco)and uMkhonto we Sizwe.The seven were lured to their death

by an Askari (former anti-apartheidsoldier turned security police operative)called Jimmy Mbane.Witnesses said some of the seven were

shot with their hands in the air tryingto surrender. But Police MinisterAdriaan Vlok’s forces were very blood-thirsty that day, and were intent onmaking an example of them.

The Gugulethu Seven were martyrs;heroes of our liberation struggle. As weprepared to bury them, under the aegisof the UDF, the apartheid regime ran itsusual interference to restrict thenumbers of people who’d be allowed toattend the funeral. They failed dismally.The UDF was a mass movement of

many community structures, and itdecided that the funeral would be amass funeral.On the following Saturday no less

than 30 000 people gathered at the NY 49stadium to bury their heroes.I vividly remember the raw emotion

at the event, and the taunting andintimidation of the police in theirhippos and mellow yellows, includingthe helicopters above, which they usedto drown out the singing of freedomsongs.And I remember the pride of confront-

ing our enemy on our grounds, knowingthat our liberation struggle was arighteous struggle, and that victory wastherefore inevitable.I felt very honoured to be among the

youth from Cayco, who carried thecoffins shoulder high that day togetherwith the late Mike Coto and MelisizweZihlangu. We were marshaled by theever militant orator the late DamdaMfaco. We felt so energized, so power-ful, that we could have run all the wayto Johannesburg.That is the gift that the Gugulethu

Seven bequeathed on us. Their deathspushed the pendulum in our direction.Children growing up in Gugulethu

today are confronted by a very differentset of realties to those we faced in the1980s. They are much less likely to beshot by police, for a start.But, if we are honest, we have yet to

create the type of integrated, human,

communities in Cape Town for whichthe Seven laid down their lives.In the context of the city’s sprawling

informal settlements, townships such asGugulethu could be regarded as almostmiddle-class. But the Gugulethu of todayis still too recognizable to that ofyesterday.Too many of our people still live if

not below, the breadline. There is toomuch crime, and too many incidents ofrape and abuse. Too wide a gulf inliving standards between “suburbs” and“townships”, and we still call ourstreets, Native Yards – as in NY 1,where a monument to the GugulethuSeven has been erected.It is good to erect monuments to

fallen heroes, to acknowledge theircontributions to society. But we owemore to the Gugulethu Seven thanacknowledgement. We must activelyremember what they struggled for.Their dreams for justice and a betterlife continue to sustain us today.We owe it to ourselves and to our

children never to forget. We mayforgive, but we shall never forget!!!

Gugulethu came under stateattack 30 years ago. McebisiSkwatsha remembers whathappend.

Skosana’ congregation also took the time to let residents in Khayelitsha know about their “buyblack” campaign.

Skosana ‘cross’ battles hardshipMISHECK MAKORA

Way of Life Church Pastor Xola Sko-sana has launched a consumer boy-cott against so-called “white” goods

in Black areas.Skosana, who has been accused of being

behind student protests due to his “blacktheology” teachings, staged a march from

uLuntu in Gugulethu to Mandela Park inKhayelitsha on Saturday morning.

The march was supported by the studentmovements #RhodesMustFall and #Fees-MustFall, church members and workersfrom the University of the Western Cape.EFF members also took part.

Skosana said the march was black peo-ple’s outcry against backyard dwellings,

squatter camps and sub-developments.“Human Settlements breeds all the social

ills that black people suffer.For the past five years we have been chal-

lenging it by walking 11,5 km from Gugulet-hu to Khayelitsha.

“But now we are doing something.We have to deal with the circulation of

money in white hands because they impov-

erish black communities.“Black people ekasi should not buy goods

from white- owned companies,” said Sko-sana, who carried a cross.

Explaining the Cross over his shoulders,which he carried for the length of the march,he said: “Easter commemorates the death ofChrist. The cross is a symbol of brokenness.The cross tells the story of black people.”

Pastor Xola Skosana of New Way of Life Church continued his annual cross carrying walkaround the townships. PHOTOS: LINDILE MBONTSI.

Qhamisa Mpayipheli has cemented herselfas one of the most talented songwriters inthe gospel industry.

Gospel singer has contributed to the success of artistsShe began as an aspirant praise singer buthas now become established as one of themost talented writers in the gospel musicindustry.

Qhamisa Mpayipheli, a singer songwrit-er from Queenstown has been the pensmithof popular songs such as Bethusile’s‘Nyange lemihla’ and Thembinkosi Booi’s‘Siyakudumisa’. to mention a few.

“I started singing at a very young age;from being a soloist at schools I attendedto singing with local choirs in the commu-nity. I have lived all my life with music asa companion.”

She said coming from a village with abso-lutely no resources at all, this meant herdream of becoming a musician that wouldinfluence the world was far-fetched.

“Because of my genuine love for music,I joined any music group I could come intocontact with including a local gospel choir,which was three hours away from my vil-lage,’ she reminisced.

She was also fascinated by the soothingsounds of a keyboard.

Qhamisa said she continued with thegroup until it fell apart due to personalitieswithin itsself.

She then tried to convince the remainingmembers to stick it out, only to discoverthat the bone of contention was the embez-zlement of funds in the group.

Even as the group disbanded, Qhamisadidn’t stop pursuing her dream, though.

She carried on and sang alone in thestreets and nearest towns until she was dis-covered by a music coach who took her offthe streets.

The coach, a Mr Kolo, managed to influ-ence a lot of sponsors and promoters to helpthe young girl from the villages.

She did not disappoint and worked verywell with all the references.

In one of the events that Mr kolo helpedorganize, Lusanda Mcinga and her spiritu-al group was in the line up.

It was, she said, her determination to suc-ceed that through such challenges, shemanaged to release a debut album in 2015.

‘My foray into the industry began withme writing songs for various artist but itwas Nyange lemihla that launched me.

That song established my career as a songwriter.

This is the same song that made a lot ofartist be very eager to work with me.

I was then approached by a lot of artists,including Nosipho Daniels whose titletrack song was also composed by me.”

The album was nominated at the CapeTown Victory Awards in 2014.

She has also worked with ThembinkodiBooi, and composed three songs for him ti-tled: Akaludelanga, Siyakudumisa, Uzun-denze.

She has also composed for M-Siya whowas also nominated at the Crown MusicAwards in 2015;

For M-Siya she had composed a song ti-tled Onke Amadolo.

She has also worked with Iphazimula bycomposing a song titled Ebenezer on theiralbum. She is still writing for a lot of artistto date.

In 2015 she finally released her own al-bum titled Simbiza Ngamagama’ whichwas produced by the legendary Sizwe Zak-ho.

The 12 track album did well and she be-lieves that there is still much to offer fromher.

‘There are a lot of different sounds on itranging from Pentecostal influenced soundto jazzy and traditional sounds,’ she said.

Bheki Nqoko’s fascinating musical journeyhas been traced, and yes it was impeccably“Made in Ntuzuma”.

This is as South Africa and the world atlarge witness the musician’s remarkableworkmanship, as he releases his sophomorealbum, a follow-up to “Kuwe”.

The 17 track album sees the star also forg-ing a working relationship with GalloRecords, in partnership with his record la-bel, Kuwe Record.

Bheki performed with the late great BusiMhlongo and recorded with the reveredBrenda Fassie.

He said his music journeystarted in Ntuz-uma hence the album title.

“Through my musical journey and experi-ences, the album, with 17 original composi-tions was born, and I hope these experienceswill rub off on the masses.

“I believe the experience I gained from theprevious album, made it possible to bewhere I am now,” he added.

Coming from a musical family with a tro-phy cabinet displaying more than 30 awards,

Bheki’s earlier works included lending histalents to bands like Mbongeni Ngema’s Ma-ria Maria, Stax, BusiMhlongo and Ntuzumamass choir.

As soon as he landed in Jozi, Bheki starteddoing studio work as a backing sessionistworking with greats such as Brenda Fassie,and Rebecca Malope.

In 1997, Bheki’s gospel album, “Mina

Nawe”, was released under CCP Records. Heis one of the founding members of Kofifi, thatgave the country the FM Music Awardsnominated “Emakhoneni” (2005).

Bheki has produced for the late Mr Staff,Vusi Nongxa and Kofifi.

He has also written songs for the likes ofSiphokazi, Ndoh Dlamini, Kelly Khumalo,Lundi Tyamara, Vusi Nongxa, Imalini andSbu

Bheki has also appeared in theatre pro-ductions like Mbongeni Ngema’s “Maria”,“Jubilations” musical alongside S’bongileMngoma, and “Woza”, singing with the likesof the late Wendy Mseleku, Max Mntamboand Somizi Mhlongo directed by ThembaMkhize.

In 2007, Bheki started his own companyOkzin Productions and signed himself as thefirst artist.

Having written “Fly” from her previousalbum, and “Love yourself” two albums ear-lier, the star says Kelly Khumalo ap-proached him to do a song for her in the pastand it didn’t come through.

“I felt the need to come through for her,and this time felt the need to feature her on“Ngiyamthatha” – a track bout taking the re-lationship to the next level at some point.

On the track with Mbuso Khoza, Bhekisays he had already written and completed“MamaAfrica”.

“I felt there was something missing aboutthe composition.

I slept over it and felt Mbuso would be per-fect for it. He is unique, and his sense of mu-sic can’t be matched.

The tone of his voice is something else. Hehas that African tone.

I felt he was the guy to complement me onthat song.

Also, he says the track is about the appre-ciating the beauty of woman kind. It couldbe the continent as well, playing the motherto all of us.”

Soccer lovers treated to top diskiMANDLA MAHASHE

To grow support for the global-ly popular English PremierLeague, football legends spent

last Tursday mingling with fans atthe Gugulethu mall.FormerBafanaandLeedsUnited

Captain Lucas Radebe and formerArsenal goalkeeper Peter Schmei-chel took a moment to take pic-tures with locals and the EnglishPremier League trophy.The event was a build up to the

weekend’s Ultimate Fan Park Ex-perience at Camps Bay HighSchool.The fan experience football lov-

ers got to watch livematches of theEPL games on Saturday and Sun-day.According to the Barclays Absa

public relations officer, SiyabongaMahlaba, this event was to bringtogether the fans of the league andto enjoy thegamewith former starsin the midst.He also said that it was also cru-

cial for them to see locals gettingin on the action.

“We all know that the EPL is themost followed league but not inSouth African townships like Gu-gulethu. So we are trying to bringit close and what better way to dothat than to bring celebrated foot-ball legends like Lucas Radebe,”said Mahlaba.Locals were also treated to a free

shuttle from Khayelitsha and Gu-gulethu to CampsBay. Radebe saidthat it was important for suchevents to be brought in the town-ships.“We all know that the biggest fol-

lowing for football in this countryis in the townships and the morelocals are exposed to the EPL thebetter the chances of them follow-ing it,” said Radebe.

Lucas Radebe poses with the fanduring the photo opportunity inGugulethu Mall.

‘Roo’ laments lack of substance in implementationFormer Bafana Bafana captain Lucas Ra-debe says football leaders need to come to-gether to try and improve the country’sshowing at international level.Radebe stressed the need for introspec-

tion in light of Bafana’s goalless drawwithCameroon on Monday, which severelydented the national team’s chances of qual-ifying for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ga-bon next year.“We need to come together as football

people and seewhatpositive changewecanmake in order to make things to go well,”saidRadebe,who earned 70 caps forBafana

and also skippered Leeds United before re-tiring in 2005.“Because we have changed the team, we

have changed the manager and we are go-ing to keep doing that. So is there any waywe can change again?Yes, possibly, and we should go look up

to the head and say, you know what, whatideas can we come with and who can weget involved to get football to be what itused to be? Football heads need to come to-gether on this one.”‘Roo’ feels structures - such as SAFA’s

technical masterplan dubbed ‘Vision 2022’

- are in place to address the issue but theimplementation of ideas has been lacking.“People want things to change and peo-

ple talk about great things but implementa-tion has been lacking for a long time.We need to implement. Let’s get people

in places where they can make changes.“Football has to be run properly not on

the field but outside the field. We needproper structures. We have got structureat the moment with the master plan but Ithink for it to work it’s going to take a littlebit of time.Because if you talk about changes, peo-

ple still need to adapt to those changes.”. Meanwhile, Mashaba described thequestion about his job security as “very sil-ly question.”He blasted at a journalist who posed the

question: “I’ve never come to SABC andasked (about) your contract and your jobsecurity. I respect that.”Mashaba continued, questioning the ef-

fect that his naysayers were having on hisfamily.“I’m a human being. I’ve got blood, I’ve

got family, I’ve got kids, I’ve got grand-kids,” said the coach.

Hockey team shines in victoryMBONGISENI MASEKO

Khayelitsha Community Hockey Clubwhich entered the annual hockeytournament for the first time, was

crowned the champions in Langa on Mon-day.

Khayelitsha Community Hockey Club(KCHC) walked away with the trophy dur-ing the Langa and Friends Tournamentwhich was held for the second time sinceits inception.

This win coincided with their 10th anni-versary, to be celebrated later in the year,they said.

The senior team, which is the only teamto participate in the tournament, was onlyformed last year.

Their wining spree started by beating ateam from Belhar 4-0, they then playedagainst a Langa team, drawing 2-2, theirthird gamewas against a team fromMilner-ton which they destroyed with 2-0 and theirfinal game was against a team from Manda-lay which they hammered with 2-1 victory.

Gloria Baartman, the coach for KCHCwas jubilant after their win.

“We are new arrivals in the tournament,but we caused a storm. We are the champs.Ourplayers enjoyed themselves in the tour-nament, in preparation for the seasonwhich starts on 09 April.

We have set our goals higher...we are go-ing to collect every trophy this year. Wewant to be top achievers,” Baartman said.

The Langa team was crowned the cham-pions last year.

Their rivals on the road to the finals areseasoned players in the league, havingplayed many years ago teams that theyplayed against having started playing inthe league many years ago.

KCHCwill beplaying in the senior leaguefor the first time this season and they claimthat they are ready to make Khayelitsha“proud.”

Captain Phumlani Zumana said this(win) was an indelible moment for them.

“We are so excited for the win. We man-aged to overcome all the challenges that wehave as a team. We lack some gear as ateam, but that did not deter us...it was en-couraging for us and now we are aiming forwinning the league this season. We want totake all the trophies,” Zumana said.

Baartman said they were always lookingfor new members to join the squad and ex-tended an invitation to those interested inthe sport, especially females, to come andjoin.

The team trains at theKhayelitshaCrick-et Oval, behind Khayelitsha SwimmingPool, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-day from 6pm to 7pm.

KC ruffle feathers looking for new broomsKaizer Chiefs are believed to be keen onoverhauling their whole strike force in thefor the next season, blaming their lack ofgoals in 2015/16 campaign to the absence ofsolid strikers.

Amakhosi are currently on a five-gamewinless streak and haven’t scored since Er-ick Mathoho’s goal against Polokwane Cityback in February, which has seen themdrop to fourth place on the Absa Premier-ship table.

With that in mind, we have been in-formed that the club are looking to rebuildtheir striking department once the nexttransfer window begins, with a host of newfaces being targeted and someof the presentstrikers facing the exit door.

It is thought that Bidvest Wits’ SibusisoVilakazi, Prince Nxumalo of Ajax CapeTown and the Free State Stars duo of SelloJafta and Moeketsi Sekola are all on theGlamour Boys’ wanted list for 2016/17 asthey seek to stop the rot up-front.

Should Chiefs be successful in their at-tempts to lure any of the aforementioned at-tackers to Naturena within the next fewmonths, then the likes of Edward Manqeleand Bongani Ndulula are expected to beloaned out, sold or released by the club inorder to make space.
