NOMPENDULO NGUBANE >>[email protected] A BOUT 300 matric pupils enrolled at Intuition Collegeinthecityhaveabandonedclassesaf- ter discovering that they are not registered for the end of year exams. Embarking on strike, the pupils have accused the institution for failure to register them with the Department of Education so they will be ready to sit for the examinations. Pupils who spoke to Echo said the matter came to their attention when they went to check if they were registered with the department. According to a pupil, who refused to be named, only27pupilshavebeenregisteredoutofmorethan 300 that are enrolled at the institution. She said affected pupils are those that are up- grading their matric subjects and those that are do- ing the whole Grade 12. The pupils say it has been two weeks pupils since they have abandoned class- es. “We were told by the department that it was too late to even register. The closing date for registering with the department was on March 15. The infor- mation that we got from the department is that it’s already too late to register. We have tried to get the answers from the principal but he has failed to pro- vide us with the answers. “Coming to college is like a waste of time because we won’t get our results. This has resulted in a strike and it’s affecting us since there are no classes. Other pupils are asking for their refund, it’s been a wasted year. “There is no use of writing the exams if we won’t get our results at the end of the year. That clearly indicates that we would have to start afresh next year,” she said. Another pupil said he encountered the same predicament in 2011. He said he did not receive some of his results of the subjects he had studied for. “The school has been giving us problems each and every year. The principal is forever without an- swers about the situation. I’m confused how such a thing could be happening at the institution,” he said. Intuition principal Sphiwe Ngobese said the problem with the pupils is that they are confusing the stages of the registering process. He said pupils who submitted all their required documents for reg- istering have nothing to worry about. “ Registering is the last stage of the process and it has not reached that stage. The process is current- ly on the second phase where the department is cap- turing all the data that is required from the docu- ments from the pupils. This process takes four months and I will call them at any time when every- thing has been done,” said Ngobese. KwaZulu-Natal education spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi said before pupils register with any insti- tution, they must come and check with the depart- ment if that institution is operating legally. “Iftheysuspectthatthereisarawdeal,theymust visit our offices so that we can help them. This is a privateinstitutionbutwewelcomethemiftheyhave any queries concerning the institution,” he said. 14 Sheffield Road, Eastwood, Pietermaritzburg 3201 • Tel: 033 390 3801/390 1106 Tel: 033 390 3786/390 1427 • Fax: 033 390 1425 MASSIVE BIRTHDAY SALE!

The campaignwas doneinpartnershipwiththeDepartmentof Social Development, where eld-erlywomenfromdifferentareasun-der the Greater Edendale weretaught on ways that they can use toprotect themselves. Local poet,Nangu‘Golide’Makhasaidthattheyhad to come dressed as elderlywomen in order to show their sup-port. He said: “We discovered that

our grandmothers are faced with alot of problems, as some are left totake care of their orphaned grand-children with only the old age sup-port grant.“Some of them do noteven know how to apply for fostercare grants for their grandchil-dren”. He said after seeing mediareports on the rape of elderly wom-en, as local poets they decided topresent them with whistles onWomen’s day, so that they wouldblow them in cases of danger. “Weare against the rape of our grand-mothers, and as the youth we can-not sit and do nothing. Wheneverthey feel that there is some danger,they should blow these whistles toalert community members”,.

Elandisa leli phephandaba uZulu uthe un-gowokudabukaendaweniyaseMlazieThekwi-ni kanti wafika eMgungundlovu ngonyaka ka-1984, efika noNdlovu.

Uqhube wathi akwaziyo ukuthi isibongosikababa wakhe nguMthethwa kanti isibongoasisebenzisayo ngesikamama wakhe. Igamalikamama uThokozile Margaret Zulu.

Uphinde wathi akazalwanga engabonikodwa lokho kwenzeka eseneminyaka emibiliezelwe.

“Sahlangana eMlazi kwelinye lamakhayaabakhubazekile sinoNdlovu (isinqan-damathe). Kwathi ngonyaka we-1984 safunaindawolaphaeMgungundlovu,nalaphosatho-

>>BHEKISISA MNCUBE writes the political survival of Agang SA and the Economic Freedom Fightersis perilous as both outfits are built around charismatic leadership.

Agang SA and EFF offer only charisma

ONE of three grounds for legiti-mate rule, according to theGermaneconomist and sociol-

ogist MaxWeber is graceandcharis-ma.

Weber defined charismatic au-thority as “resting on devotion to theexceptional sanctity, heroism or ex-emplary character of an individualperson,andofthenormativepatternsor order revealed or ordained byhim.”

Recently two political partieshave entered the political landscapeof South Africa.

These are Agang SA led by aca-demic, Dr Mamphela Aletta Ramph-ele, and the Economic FreedomFighters (EFF) led by the high schoolgraduate, Julius Sello Malema.

Both parties exhibit a semblanceof charismatic leadership.

Both leaders are self-appointedcrusaders, who, we are made to be-lieve, will ignite innovation if not arevolution in the political landscapeof our country. Both of their shortstintsat thehelmof theirpoliticalout-fits is not based on popular vote butsome ‘revelation or heroism’ thatdrives them to stand up and lead.

An analysis of Dr Ramphele andMalema’s speeches in the last 30days shows that Ramphele unwit-tingly considers leadership as ‘a giftof grace’.

She seems to believe that she hasexemplary leadership qualities thatcan save South Africa from its “im-mediate demise”. She thinks herselfa prophet ordained by political godsto perform a special duty.

On the other hand Malema wit-tingly emphasises charisma whileoverwhelmingly leaning towards po-litical demagogue.

Both leaders frequently appeal totraditional moral values and to ideasofnational grandeur.Theybothpaintasimpleblackpictureof theiropposi-tion,namelytheruling ANC.TheANCisviewedasabeast infestedwithcor-rupt leaders presiding over an ineptadministration.

Themain distinction is thatMale-ma emphasises ideas of persecutionand theneed for revenge.Theuniqueselling proposition of his politicaloutfit is the nationalisation of themines and bankswithout compensa-tion and the expropriation of land,again without compensation.

Under Malema’s tutelage thewhitepopulationwouldhave to showremorse for its apartheid sins and letgo of all “ill-gotten gains”. The blackpopulation “will not want,” becauseMalema’s government will “shep-herd” them and provide all luxuriesenjoyed currently by a whiteminori-ty.

Malema has also apologised toSouthAfricans for bequeathing thema “rudderless” leader like PresidentJacob Zuma.

By painting a paranoid picture ofthe rulingparty,Malemastrengthenshostilities between his infant EFFand the political giant the ANC.

Presenting the distorted interpre-tation of the country’s state of affairsunder Zuma makes it easier for EFFwhile it is clamouring for politicalspace.

Dr Ramphele stresses economicvalues and concern for the welfareof others. She abhors corruption, thelethargy of the public service and po-litical thuggery.

Under her tutelage South Africawill be free of corruption, economicgrowthwillskyrocket,political actorswill be upstanding citizens, and we

will all live happily ever after.Ifsheiscorrect,thenCosatugener-

al secretary ZwelinzimaVavi’swarn-ing thatSouthAfricawas“headed fora predators state where powerful,corrupt and demagogic elite of politi-cal hyenas are increasingly using thestate to get rich” won’t materialise.

This analysis shows the EFF andAgang SA propaganda machinerypaint a completely black picture ofthe ruling party and interprets everyaction in terms of a paranoid fear ofSouth Africa becoming a wastelandor at worst a pariah state over-whelmed by corruption and othersocial ills.

There are three common traits ofparties founded on charismatic lead-ership. The most obvious is politicaladventurism of their leaders.

Political adventurism in realpoli-tik means entering a political spacewith delusion of grandeur withouthavingpaidattention to the realityonthe ground.

Secondly, theseparties arealwaysshort on concrete policies. Thirdly,the founding leaders remain at thehelm long after inaugural conferenc-es and the success or failure of the

party is always predicatedonthepo-litical fortunes of the founding lead-ers. Ramphelemay honestly want tocleanse our political landscape ofcorruption and political thuggery,but politically speaking, she is naiveto think with a few learned friendsliving in Midrand /Sandton, she canmastermind an overhaul of SA poli-tics.Shewillsoonlearnthatthepoliti-cal realm is no realm for saints.

Malemaontheotherhandisaper-petual political demagogue who willdo anything to cling to power forpersonal gain.

Inconclusion,sociologistssuggestthat charismatic parties are anathe-ma to democracy and usually lackideology basesastheyare“restingondevotion to the exceptional sanctity,heroismorexemplarycharacterofanindividual person”.

Both parties do stand a chance tohold at least a seat in theNationalAs-sembly come election 2014, but tocauseadenttotheANC’massiveelec-toral support is improbable.

Sethulela abesifazane abaqotho isigqoko

UNCWABA (August) yinyanga ebal-uleke kakhulu ezweni lonke, ikakhu-lukazi kubantu besimame njengobakuyinyanga yabantu besifazaneeyaziwa ngeNational Women’sMonth.

Ngale nyanga kuhlonishwa uku-baluleka komuntu wesifazane, ika-khulu labo abalwa nomthethowoku-phathwa kwamapasi ayebizwa ngo‘dompas’ ngo-1956, bebhikisha be-libhekise ePitoli.

Ngiyacabanga ukuthi babengal-weli amalungelo abo kuphela kepha

babelwela nama lungelo ezinganezabo, abazukulu nesizukulwanesabo. Yingakho nje namhlanjesekukhona abesifazane abaphetheizinkampani ezinkulu, amayunives-ithi nezibhedlela.Kunjalonje, seben-gene bagamanxa kwezombusazwebaze baba ngabaholi imbala.

Engikholwa ukuthi akujabulisimina ngedwa, ukubona abesifazanebalaphaKwaZulu-Natal beseqhulwi-nikwezobuholiezwenikazi lase-Afri-ka nasemhlabeni wonke jikelele.Abafika kuqala emqondweni nguDktNkosazana Dlamini-Zuma oholwa i-African Union noNkk PhumzileMlambo-Ngcuka osanda kuqokelwaesikhundleni sokuba ngumqondisiosebenzangokuphelele(executivedi-rector) ophikweni lwabesifazaneenhlanganweni yezizweezihlangeneemhlabeni, i-United Nations.

Namhlanje akusethusi ukubonaowesimame esekwazi ukuvukaekuseni aye emsebenzini, kanti uku-ba kwaku sekuqala, ngabe owesi-fazane usagcina ngemisebenziyasekhaya. Yebo, angiphiki ukuthiumuntu wesifazane kumele

akhuthalele imisebenzi yasekhaya,kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi aka-vumelekile ukuba ayo sebenza. Ses-aphela isikhathi sokuthi kube yindo-da kuphela okufanele isebenze, yon-dle ekhaya. Izikhathi sezashintshangobamanjesekuphilwangokubam-bisana.

Umuntu wesifazane ngimbonanjengomuntu okumele abe noth-ando, abemnene, abe yitshe elikwaziukumelana nobunzima empilweni.

Ngisho uNkulunkulu ngenkathiethi umuntu wesifazane uyothwalaumntwana esiswini izinyanga ezi-yi-9, wayesebonile ukuthi nguyenakuphela owesimame oyokwazi uku-melana nalobo bunzima. Futhiumuntu wesifazane unamandlaamangalisayongobauyakwaziukuh-

lakaza aphinde alungise izinto, uk-wazi ngisho ukuthobisa indoda.

Ngivele ngidumale uma ngifundaamaphephandaba noma ngilaleleleizindaba emsakazweni, ngihlanga-bezane nodaba ngomuntu wesi-mame owenze into ephambenenomthetho. Ngiyaye ngizibuze uku-thi kusuke sekwenzenjani umauma-ma eselahla usana lwakhe esitam-kokweni noma emgqonyeni kadoti.

Umuntuonjaniongafuniukubonaikusasa lengane yakhe? Ang-isayiphathi-ke eyalaba okuhlale ku-bikwa ukuthi babulala amadoda abongenxa yezizumbulu zomshu-walense. Angisho ukuthi bonkeabantu besimame bangcolile ngobabasekhona abanesimilo nozwelo,nothando, nenhliziyo emnene. Uma

ungowesifazane ufunda lolu daba,ake uzifune wena ukuthi ungakulu-phi uhlangothi kulawa esengiwavez-ile. Ngabe ungowesifazane ononyanoma onobubele?

Ngiyabahlonipha ogogo, omama,nezintombi abasakwazi ukubambaiqhaza lokuba umuntu wesifazaneemindenini nasemphakathini. Nga-kho nginxusa wonke amadoda aku-qhakambise ukubaluleka kwabesi-mame ezimpilweni zawo ngobangaphandle kwabo, kufana nokuthiimpilo yabo ayiphelele. Masiyibun-gaze le nyanga yabantu besimamengendlela efanelekile, siphindesibathulele izigqoko omame abalwe-la amalungelo ethu (ngizibala nami),ngoba ngabe asikho lapho esikhonanamhlanje.

Sesaphela isikhathi sokuthi kube yindoda kuphelaokufanele isebenze, yondle ekhaya. Izikhathi sezash­intsha ngoba manje sekuphilwa ngokubambisana.

Thumbs­up toEdendale HospitalPUBLIC health facilities have been understandablycriticised many times in the past. Complaints haveranged from poor hygiene to impatient health careemployees. Shortageofmedicines,nursesanddoctorshas also been a common challenge in most of SouthAfrican health care facilities.However, my experience at Edendale Hospital hasenlightened me on the hard work that has been donein order to change the image of the hospital.My mother recently went for an operation on her leftknee as she is suffering from severe arthritis. The re­ception that we received from OOPD staff was of highquality, they are living Batho Pele principles and thisshould be commended. Keep up the good work!Admission officers and porters showed high level of

professionalism and willingness to serve people.Staff at 6B1 ward further ensured that patients getthe attention that they deserve and that patients aretreated with respect and dignity. May my experiencebe every person’s experience in this hospital. Congrat­ulations should also go to hospital management teamfor their hardwork. I am confident that the NationalHealth Insurance policy will be successfully imple­mented, and that our people will receive high levelhealth care.

Another CD by award­winning Intombi kaJehovaAS part of celebrating women’s monthIntombi KaJehova has released a 13­track CD titled Sizonge’Ezulwini.

The 32 year­old, whose real nameis Xolile Ndlovu, is a born­and­bredHammarsdale artist who currently re­sides in Pietermaritzburg. Ndlovu is notnew to the music industry as manywould remember her when she walkedaway with the Best Gospel Maskandiaward in 2010, courtesy of SABC GospelCrown Awards.

Speaking to Echo she said her newalbum, that has been available at themusic shops since July 24, is the samegospel maskandi genre music. “Whatis different about this one is that it ac­commodates everybody. It is a versatilealbum that also accommodates theyouth who enjoy dancing, she said.

“It was my wish that the CD wouldhave been released by the month of Au­gust while we celebrate Women’sMonth. This is dedicated to all the wom­en. Some of the tracks pass a messageto stop women abuse. The first track“Unembeza” is asking why people have

lost conscience. Currently there are lotsof incidents that raise eyebrows whenyou hear or read about them in thenewspapers. “Elderly and young chil­dren are raped and some of them aremurdered. These incidents gave birth tothis track. People hear music in taxis,taxi ranks, at the shops and everywherethere is music. Pastors are spreading thewordbypreachingandI’mspreadingtheword by singing and combining it withinstruments,” said Ndlovu. Asked whatcould make people flock to music shopsto buy her album, she said the rhythmand versatility. “It relates to everyone,there is even a house track that can’t beignored when it plays. “With that one,I guarantee your feet won’t stop tap­ping. The other thing is that it was madewith passion. We are praising God andthat alone should be a reason goodenough to buy the CD. “I thank all theteam members for working hard on thisproject,” she said.

Those who want information aboutthe CD can call managing directorMondli Zondi on 072 234 8803.

“I needed to do something thatwouldmakemekick theblankets toget up everymorning and it so hap-pened that image consulting wasthe field and the interesting partwas that I could still incorporate thecommunications aspect into it anddo“imageandcommunications”asthey work like a hand in glove” shesaid.

Shethenenrolledforacertificatein image consulting, fashion stylingand make up-artistry. Speakingabout her job, she said: “It is an ex-citing career and it comes naturally

to me as I am passionate about themanagement of appearances. It isnotproperlyknown inourblack so-ciety,andnothavingaproperimageresults in a lot of downfalls in thework place, corporate companiesand individual lives”. She is in-spiredbyyoungwomenwhoaredo-ing it for themselves, and womenwhohaverisenabovedifficultsitua-tions to make their mark, particu-larly inmale dominated industries.

Advising other young women,she said: “If you have a dream, youcan see it through. Find what youareasaperson,nextfindsomethingthat comes naturally, but faith con-quers it all. Self-love and self-re-spect are qualities that are primaryin the pursuit of business, and re-flectbestonyour imageandreputa-tion”.

Heronlyconcernisthatalthoughwomen are now afforded the sameopportunitiesasmen,someof themare still afraid to tap into the maledominated industries, and thosewho are already there do not offerpropermentorship to others. “Dur-ingthisWomen’smonth, letusuniteas women and let go of the Pull HerDown (PHD) syndrome and groomoneanothertogreaterheights”,sheadvised.

Msomi anetball whizUMGUNGUNDLOVU and the entireKwaZulu-Natal province would liketoforgetquicklyabouttherecentSparSouth African Senior Netball Cham-pionshipsinNorthWest lastweekendas they flopped.

However, they must count them-selves lucky because there’s some-thing to celebrate for.

Hammarsdale-born, Umgun-gundlovu and Proteas player, Bongi-we Msomi was selected as the bestcentre of the entire tournament.

Netball South Africa President,Mimi Mthethwa this week said ahandful of players played very welland displayed high standards duringthe event, but Msomi was far moreoutstanding in aspects of the game.

She also saidMsomi proved it be-yondanydoubtwhyshewasacurrentmember of the Spar senior nationalteam - the Proteas.

“She’ssuchamarvel towatch.Sheis just too perfect with the basics andwisely moves around and work hardnon-stop in all her games. She wasjust outstanding and brilliant,”saidMthethwa.

Umgundlovu teammanager BusiNkomo says Msomi is a shinning ex-ample of local netball and others can

learn a lot from her.Msomi this week told Echo that

therewasnothing“special”abouthergame, but she believes in workinghard and in team effort.

“I’mjustateamplayer,hardwork-er and I always motivate the othersnottogiveupandtopushhard.Maybewhat stood out is that I amvery disci-plined in my game and always try toperfect it,” said Msomi.

Young race ambassador

LUNGA BIYELAAFTER his father ran the MandelaDayMarathon last year,MsiziNdlo-vu from Willowfountain wanted tobe a marshal for this year’s race.

The 12-year-old Forest Hill Pri-mary School pupil wrote an e-mailto race organisers asking them if hecould take part as a marshal.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beconsidered as he is not old enough,but organisers were not about tocurb his enthusiasm. He will nowbe one of the race ambassadors.Speaking to The Witness at hisschool on Tuesday, Msizi said hewas happy and couldn’t wait formarathon day.

Ndlovuwill ride in the lead car,andwill also be given VIP status atthe finish. “My parents are veryproud of me that I am an ambassa-dor,” he said.

Msizi,who loves soccer andath-letics, hopes to run the marathonone day when he is older.

His father,MnikwaNdlovu, saidhewashappythathissonwasgiventhe opportunity. Although Ndlovuwon’t be takingpart this yeardue toinjury, he will be on the side of theroad encouraging other runners.SchoolprincipalRoslynBarnessaidthey were proud of Msizi.

“As a school, we are extremelyexcited that one of our pupils hastaken the initiative to request to bea marshal. “ We are extremelyproud that our pupils have the po-tential to expose themselves to out-side sources and not limit them-selves to the confines of the school,”she told The Witness.

Themarathonwill takeplace onSunday, August 25 and will be runfrom Manayi Hall in Imbali to theNelson Mandela Capture Site out-side Howick. Among those takingpart are Comrades legends BruceFordyce and Stephen Muzhingi,and the reigning up-run championClaude Moshiywa.

Bucs meetstrongerZamalek>> Orlando Pirates are ready for the Egyptian soccer giants.

JOHANNESBURG — “Bigger, betterand stronger,” was how Orlando Pi-rates coach Roger de Sa on TuesdaydescribedZamalek, comparing themwith fellow Egyptian club Al Ahly.

The Buccaneers stunned holdersAl Ahly in an African ChampionsLeague encounter in Egypt earlierthis month with an unprecedented3-0 away victory.

They were hoping to complete adouble over the Cairo duowhen theymeetZamalekatOrlandoStadiumonSaturday night.

“Al Ahly have built an illustriousrecord over the years,” said De Sa,“and theyare still a pretty formidablecombinationinspiteofourrecentvic-tory over them in Egypt.

“But our scouts in Egypt have toldus to expect even tougher opposition,against a physically bigger andstronger Zamalek combination, whocurrentlyhaveanedgeover their tra-ditional derby rivals.

“The videos I have been studyingof several ofZamalek’smatches,withmy technical staff, only seem to con-firm this assessment.”

De Sa intended to field a similarline up on Saturday to the one thatcaughtAlAhlyon thewrong footwithan early goal, and the Pirates coachhoped to begin the next match in thesame vein.

De Sa, however, said burly Zam-bian international striker CollinsMbesuma had only a 50% chance ofreporting fit after incurring an injuryin theMTN8 victory over SuperSport

United on Sunday.Also, tricky former Super-

Sport United striker Kermit Eras-mus remained cup-tied because hehad represented his former club in aCaf competition this year.

Unlike their Champions Leaguegame in Egypt, where only a handfulof spectators were allowed into thestadium—becauseofthepoliticalun-

res t thathad gripped thecountry—DeSawashoping for a vo-ciferous army of supporters to pro-vide vocal support for the Bucca-neers.

Sukuma just unluckyTHESouthAfricanSchoolFootballAsso­ciation’s (Sasfa) Mgungundlovu Districtmust be congratulated for putting to­gether a good show during the Copa Co­ca­Cola provincial final last weekend atthe local University Of KwaZulu Natalgrounds. Altogether, 11 KZN high schoolsfrom around KwaZulu­ Natal took part.The local representatives and hot fa­vourites were Sukuma Secondary School

from Imbali. Although the local lads didnot disappoint at all during the two­daysunder 15 event, they eventually lost 3­0on penalties in the finals against QhilikaHigh School from Durban. As the KZNChampions, Qhilika will now representthe province in the national finals in afew months’time. The 2013 KwaZulu Natal champi­ons head coach, Ndoda Ngcobo said the

only secret that took his team that farin the event was hard work and goodleaders in the side. “We were well pre­pared and our players are hard workers.Also our goalkeeper, Thokozani Mthem­bu and captain Sanele Gaxa are qualityleaders, off and on the field.“They are also fighters and strongly be­

lieve in team work,” said Ngcobo.The local coach, Nhlanhla Ngema said

Sukuma were just unlucky after trying allthe tricks available in soccer. “We werewell prepared for the event. I am proudof my players, we were just unlucky afterdishing out some good football duringthe entire tournament. “I mean wereachedthefinals,thefulltimescorewas2­2 and bowed 3­0 after the penaltyshootout. That alone speaks volumes,”said Ngema. ­Jerry Barnes

THETHE WHOLEWHOLECOUNTRYCOUNTRY LOVESLOVESA DERBYA DERBY

>> Pirates face a punishing schedule whichcould stretch to 33 matches before Christmas, ifthey manage to make the MTN8, TelkomKnockout and CAF Champions League finals.

DESPITE an already crowd-ed fixture schedule, Rogerde Sa says Orlando Pirates

relish the chance to face KaizerChiefs over two legs in the MTN8semi-final.

The Buccaneers were drawnagainst Amakhosi on Monday,with BidvestWits facing PlatinumStars in the other fixture.

Pirates faceapunishingsched-ule which could stretch to 33matches before Christmas, if theymanage to make the MTN8 Tel-kom Knockout and CAF Champi-ons League finals.

“ToplayChiefs is alwaysgreat,it isagoodteamtoplayall thetime,itdoesnotmatterwhereoratwhatstage of the competition,” De Sasays on MTNFootball.

“It is always a great match tolook forward to, the fans look for-ward to it; thewholecountry looksforward to it so why not do it nowover two legs?

“Youseeallthesupportersmix-inginthestandsthesedaysandthe

whole country comes to a stand-still, sowhynotbeapartof agamelike this?”

Both legs will be played nextweek,with the first legs onAugust20 and 21, and the return legs onAugust 24 and 25. Precise datesand venues are yet to be con-firmed.

De Sa says the two-legged sys-tem has its pros and cons.

“It sometimes becomes moredifficult than other times to playtwolegs.Youhavethechancetore-cover andcorrect things,” he says.

“If youdowell in the first gamethen you don’t want a second leg,butifyoudon’tdotoowell thenyoulooking forward to that second legto try to repair a few things.”

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefscoach Stuart Baxter is hoping thetwoupcomingmatches against ri-vals Orlando Pirates will producea lot of goals.

The 2013 MTN8 tournamentgot off to agreat start over thepastweekend with 15 goals scored in

thefourquarterfinalmatches,andAmakhosi’s coach tells Kick-Off.com he is hoping for more ofthe same.

“Ihopeso. Ihope therearea lotof goals,” he says.

Having said that,Baxter iswellaware that Derbies are closely-contested affairs and often fail tolive up to expectations.

“Derbiessometimesarenotthebest football games because of thehype, the expectations, thenervesand tension. But I hope the twogameswill reflect thequalityof theplayers fromboth teams,”hesays.

Baxter is also happy to play Pi-rates in the semis.

“Atthisstageofthecompetitionit didn’t matter who we got be-cause it could have been difficultwith any of the teams. But it is Pi-ratesanditaddssomethingextra– a little bit more spice.

“I’msurewewillgivethesup-porters a field day, but for meand Roger [De Sa] it meansmorechallenges.”-KickOff.com

Khenyezato know

his fatetoday

>> Case postponement fancied due to uncertainty

LOCALPSLgoalpoacherMabhutiKhenye-za will know his fate about his career to-day when the South African Football As-

sociation’s Appeals Board hears his case. TheLidgeton-born andwell-travelled Khenyeza washanded a 12-month ban bythe PSL DC for spitting atlinesman Zakhele Siwelawhen he was still playing AjaxCape Town last season.

He has since joined MpumalangaBlack Aces who were promoted to the PSLfromtheNationalFirstDivisionatthebegin-

ferenttuneaftersendinga writtenapology.

It hasbeen re-portedthat the PSLhas admitted they got thewrong end of the stick with re-gards to Khenyeza’s 12-month ban.

“I therefore apologise unreservedly to youand your club for any embarrassment caused.I also apologise for the League issuing a state-ment referring to the matter.”

According to Khenyeza’s lawyer MichaelMurphy the rule is clear and the player is eligi-ble to play because the matter is still pendingor on-going. Amazayoni’s CEO Mario Morfousays his clubwould be happy to see themattersorted out soon “so that the life of

the player can carry on. The club also needto carry on without any issues still hanging.”-Jerry Barnes

ning of the season.The unsporting in-

cident happened inthe league matchagainst MamelodiSundowns on April 2at Loftus Stadium.

According to theinsiders the sitting islikely to be postponedagain because the bigwigs, especially thePSL rules and consti-tution “have beencaught offside”.

Khenyeza’smatterissaidtobemorecom-plicated for both PSLand the national gov-erning body, Safa.

At first the PSL DCruled that:

–Khenyeza be sus-pended from all foot-ball activities underthe auspices of theLeague for a period of12months (in termsofRule 50.14.5 of the Rules of the League).

The sentencing and the charge were con-firmed by PSL Prosecutor Nandé Becker.

After he was sentenced his team at thattime,Ajaxfumedandblamedtheleagueforde-stroying the player’s career.

Lateron theCapeTown-sidedidnot renewKhenyeza’s contract and was clubless.

The case has taken a new twist sinceKhenyeza joinedthenewlypromotedMpuma-langa Black Aces.

Aces management and their legal teamclaim theplayers is eligible toplaybecausehismatter is still pending. He played during theirofficial first fixtureagainstKaizerChiefsa fort-night ago.
