WEEKLY REPORTER

AFTER months of deliberation and interrup­tions, the ruling party’s most influential re­gion has elected its leader.

The ANC eThekwini region held its elec­tive conference at the weekend, electingeThekwini mayor James Nxumalo as itschairman. However, Nxumalo’s victory wasby a narrow margin.

The conference was twice postponeddue to infighting and intense lobbying in thebranches.Thebattleforcontroloftheregionhad also turned physical, with at least threepeople having been shot dead in the lead­upto the conference.

Nxumalo, who is also the South AfricanCommunist Party’s KwaZulu­Natal chair­man, was elected by 253 votes against 212for his challenger, Zandile Gumede, a mem­ber of the eThekwini executive committee.

Thabani Nyawose becomes the deputychairman of the ANC in the region, with Mt­hunzi Dlamini elected secretary. The deputysecretary is Cheryl Sisoka and treasurer isPhelelani Mshengu.

Political analysts have stated that theregionalconferencehadbeeneagerlyawait­ed because of its influence on the ANC’scoming provincial and national elective con­ferences, next year and in 2017 respectively.

Many believe the region will influencewhich way the ANC, and by extension thecountry, will go. It is well known that Nxuma­lo supported the retention of KwaZulu­Na­tal premier and provincial chairperson Sen­zo Mchunu, while his challenger Gumedewas going to throw her weight behind SihleZikalala in contesting the chairmanship.

Zikalala is the ANC’s secretary in KwaZu­lu­Natal.

ZakheleNdlovu,aseniorpoliticalanalyst

has said that “Zuma is pretty much a lame­duck president”.

“He is in his second term and has very lit­tle influence in who his successors are. Theelection of James Nxumalo will furthererode his influence in KwaZulu­Natal as itis known that Nxumalo is closer to premierMchunu. It would be interesting who thiscamp will support as the candidate for ANCpresident.”

After his election Nxumalo said he washumbled by his elevation.

“Our conference has also been a hugesuccess because the newly elected leader­ship has been warmly welcomed by all dele­gates. I must say that I was so impressed be­cause when the results were announced, thefirst person who congratulated me wascomrade Zandile Gumede, who also con­tested the position,” he said.

Nxumalo also said delegates were un­equivocal in wanting an executive mayor forthe city. “The delegates said they believethat an executive mayor would help inspeeding up service delivery.”

Valentine’s treatfor local pupils>> Tongaat HulettDevelopments putsthe heart back intoValentine’s Day

WEEKLY REPORTER

THE Tongaat Hulett Development(THD) team hosted a different kindof Valentine’s Day celebration on

Friday, 13 February.A six­member team, which forms Ton­

gaat Hulett Development THD’s socialcommittee, ran a two­week fundraisinginitiative, asking colleagues and othermembers to donate what they could sothat 31 underprivileged children fromBlackburn Village could receive newschool uniforms. Donors were asked,rather than spending R20 or R30 on choc­olates or flowers, to give that money tochildren in need.

The bags and treats were handed overto the eager children.

Development director at THD, KarenPetersen, said the social committee tookthe initiative to start the selfless project,giving up their personal time and financesto ensure the message of love was felt bythose in need this Valentine’s Day.

“The Social Committee contactedBlackburn Primary School which is basedin the heart of Blackburn Village. This isnot an affluent area and we always give

driven and supported, and the idea wasto back bring some heart into Valentine’sDay.

“We wanted to move away from thecommercial and put compassion back in­to this day. It’s a day of love for everyone.”

Once the social committee had raisedthe R6 000 needed to buy the uniforms,they spent time after work searchingshops for the best items at the most af­fordable prices, carefully packing 31school bags with a full school uniform,socks and shoes as well as a special bagof treats.

“When we put our minds to it, thereis so much we can achieve. And there isso much more we can do.”

Although a THD initiative, she said apositive spinoff of this Valentine’s Day ini­tiative ties well into the organisation’sSocial Sustainability and Innovation Pro­gramme (SSIP), which aims at ensuringall the communities based near TongaatHulett developments are uplifted andempowered in an organised manner.

The SSIP has three programmes cen­tred on community improvement; the So­cial Development Programme ­which thisValentine’s Day donation forms part of–Open Space Management, as well asEconomic Participation Programme.

These greatly improve the lives of thoseinimpoverishedcommunitiesthroughjobcreation, skills’ development, education,infrastructure development, health, wel­fare and environmental upliftment.

PrincipalofBlackburnPrimarySchool,Kevin Sevlall, said all the 192 pupils fromGrade R to Grade 6 came from impover­ished homes, but the 31 identified werethe most destitute.

“These children had no school uni­forms and it is something thaty they needalmost every day,” said Sevlall.

“The pupils at the school are alwayschanging and these are new children,starting at the school, who had very little.This donation makes such a difference totheir lives.”

Young Kwanele Dlamini politely ac­cepted the donations and, with a hugesmile told the team, “Thanks for the gifts.I can’t wait to open the bag and seewhat’s inside.”

As of next term, the school will bemoving to better premises at nearby Cor­nubia Phase 1A the pilot project of eThek­wini’s subsidised housing developmentallowing easier access to the school formore children. It will be renamed the Sol­omon Mahlangu Primary once it is offi­cially opened.

According to councillor MichaelAbraham Plane Street, which is cur-rently undergoing an extensive up-grade, and rehabilitation pro-grammehad an intended date for re-pair scheduled for November 2014.

“This would have created enor-mous challenges during the holidayperiod. Itwas therefore put off till theNew Year after schools and factorieshad opened.

“The process involved undercut-tingandremovalof largequantitiesofthepresent roadsurface tomakewayfor the laying of a solid foundationdeep down.”

Abraham said before the actualwork commenced on the road in linewith engineering principles, holeshad tobedugon thepavements to in-spect what services were placed un-derneath-servicessuchaswaterandelectricity lines and Telkom cables.This process is called proving.

He said the work is estimated totake about three months dependingon weather conditions.

How can weteach moralswithout religion?

IHAVE often wondered how atheists andsecular people go through life withoutGod.I have asked myself what hope you

have for the future without a supernaturalbeinginyourcornerlookingoutforyou,andI have wondered even more what moralsmean to someone who is Godless (God­free?).

The first decade of my life was quiteturbulent as my family consisting of atleast four children at a time and my mothernever really stayed in one place for more

than a year or two. In this way, I do not re­member that we settled and subscribed toany church as a result.

I really got exposed to the life of churchmuchlater inthedecadeandonlythenwasI smart enough to ask myself some ques­tions.

If memory serves, I think I was nine andsuffering the pain of my first (of many)wisdom tooth. I asked myself, who is God?

From what I had seen at the time I con­cluded that God was there to keep humanbeings in order and to try to keep themfrom killing each other.

Satisfied with my answer, I reasonedthat since I was a good person at the timethat I did not need God and that I did notneed religion.

As time went by and as I listened topriests from all denominations of church,I started to realise that all the stuff theywere saying from that ‘black book’ madea lot of sense.

In fact, I thought that all the goodthings the book said such as "do not steal","do not kill another human being", etc,were so obvious that I thought it a bit re­dundant to attend church.

But, I continued to attend since, by vir­tue of my mother, I did not have muchchoice in the matter.

As time passed and I slept under thebenches at "cross­night" (overnightchurch services) and I noticed that everytime the preacher said these things, hepromised the grown ups and the other kidsthat we would go to heaven if we did thesegood things as God demanded.

This confused me quite a bit (existen­tialism can get very interesting for an ado­lescent).

I mean, is it not obvious that we shoulddo unto others as we would like to be doneunto us?

Why the promise of bliss to add to it?And why perpetuate the promise of beingbranded a child of Satan if I am naughty?

I have always kept a cynical view of reli­gion for these reasons.

Anyway, when I first learned of athe­ism, I had this idea that atheists were devil­worshipping freaks, despite my own skep­ticism about God and religion.

How can you seriously be a good personwithout having God guide you?

Through pop culture that I had wit­nessed from my more­than­fair share oftelevision, I saw good deeds from peoplewho did not acknowledge God in any oftheir works and trying this out myself I rea­lisedhowmuchmorepureitwastodogoodwithout the promise of heaven or prosperi­ty.

Now, do not get me wrong, I am notgoodie­two­shoes (this phrase alwaysconfused me), I have just been luckyenough to not get in a lot of trouble (rela­tively speaking), but I think I have a goodgrasp of what makes a good person good.

So, how do you live without God? Howdo you dissuade your children from evilwithout sending them to Sunday school?

I think that you can be a good personby loving those close to you (and everyoneelse) and remembering to do to otherswhat you wish to be done to you.

I don't think you need the Bible for that.

ANC, your time is upI WAS mortified and greatly disillusionedhaving watched the fiasco that eruptedduring the State of the Nation (SONA)on 12 February.

The disruption and disturbance fromthe EFF comes as no surprise to the entirenation, but what was really disconcert­ing and totally disgraceful was the tact­less and boorish manner in which the rul­ing party (ANC) handled the entire mat­ter.

From the jamming of the transmissionsignals,totheSAPSbeingcalledintopar­liament chambers – this party blunderedtheir way through the SONA being com­pletely undiplomatic and injudicious andcommitting a gross violation of the con­stitution.

The very same constitution that manyfought for, even to the point of death, toensure that it becomes the foundationof our democracy.

A democracy that seems to be brushedoff and trampled upon by the ANC.

SONA took us back to the days of theoppressive apartheid regime when thegovernment of the day oppressed andcontrolled everything and tightly heldthe reins over what was broadcasted andwhat the people had access to.

The brute force that was used in theremoval of the EFF MPs was redolent ofthe apartheid security forces violently re­moving protestors in an effort to silencetheir cries for liberation.

The evasiveness of the speaker of thehouse in answering simple questions viz,“Was the SAPS called into the cham­bers?” was indicative of her bias and in­competence in functioning as a neutralspeaker of the house.

She, however, chose to act as thepresident’s personal bodyguard andspokesperson. It’s time to sanction a newcompetent speaker of the house.

For too long the ANC has been givencarte blanche in ruling this country, butno more.

It is time for truth and accountability.The ruling party has been enforcing lawson others yet think of themselves asabove the law.

ThereactionofPresidentJacobZumato the debacle that unravelled in parlia­ment was completely improper and un­becoming for a leader of a nation.

To merely laugh off a matter withoutso much as some words of explanationto placate the situation or even an apolo­gy to the nation and the entire world thatwas watching was unacceptable andvery suggestive of the inept and unprofi­cient leader that he is.It most certainly doesn’t augur well forhim as the leader of this nation.

I don’t foresee a favourable and pros­perous future for our country if this is thecalibre of leadership that the ANC is pro­ducing to rule in our land.

This ANC­ruled government needs tobe more accountable and transparent tothe citizens whom they serve and to stophiding behind their bullying tactics.

But then again honesty, accountabilityand truth are not qualities that they canidentify with.

SONA has made it lucid and crystalclear that the ANC doesn’t have what ittakes to rule South Africa with wisdom,integrity, accountability and honesty.So, ANC your time is up!

Annet Govender

WITHthebrutal killingofbabyJamieNaidooinChatsworthstill freshinourminds, another little droplet of love,Shahiel Sewpujan has been brutallykilled. Something in society has gonedevastatingly wrong when innocentchildren who are unable to defendthemselves become victims.

Is itacaseofcriminalswhoexhibitantisocial behaviour towards chil-dren, who have been exposed toabuse in childhood themselves whileit must be categorically stated that itis myth that survivors of abuse be-come abusers. Abusing childrencouldbea conduit to release their an-gerandmayevengivethemavantagepoint to assert their power.

It is alleged that Shahiel had an is-sueaboutgoingtoschool.Thisappar-ently annoyed the aunt and grannywho gagged him. He was asthmaticwhich resulted in him losing hisbreath and consciousness and a fewdays later he was found dead in amanhole near his home.

Why would an adult, in this casefamilymemberswho livedwithnine-year-old want to gag him? The emo-tional and intellectual factors of theperpetrators to comprehend thegravity and consequences of their ac-tions must be considered.

The cycle of abuse becomes amo-notonoushabitresulting inanuncon-trolled aggressive behaviour pattern

without considering the circum-stances such as culpable homicideand murder.

People have inadequate copingstrategies and believe that violence,suchashittingachild, is theonlysolu-tion to remedy deviant behaviour.

Takingcareofchildrenisaskill likeany other profession, therefore if aperson who is trusted to look afterchildren cannot cope with parentingwill need to seek professional helpfrom health-care workers or frompeople who have adequate experi-ence looking after children.

An abused child will have a senseof conflict in their minds. They willhave to balance their emotional con-nectedness with the family memberwhile at the same time being abusedand betrayed by the same person.Imagine the dilemma in the mind ofa child.

It is difficult for the child to under-stand and reconcile their emotions.

Children need to be continuouslyloved and empowered. Theymust betaught to speak out about any formofharm inflicted on them be it physicalor emotional.

The law enforcement agencies,child welfare organisations, con-cerned communities and childrencourts must work collectively to re-duce and eradicate harm to our chil-dren. It is an obligation on every sin-gle adult to protect the future of ourcountry by protecting our children.

Society cannot allow our beautifulchildren tobeslaughtered.Enough isenough.

South Africanstandard ofeducation,alarmingWATCHING news reports and reading storiesabout matric caused a time of reflection forme recently.

I completed my schooling in the earlynineties and it seems as though I schooledin another country.

Firstly, the requirements and pass rateswere extremely high, which is not a bad thingconsidering we were about to be unleashedinto the working world.

Secondly, the feeling of seeing your namein the paper meant you passed and could en­ter tertiary education because it meant youreceived good marks.

Today, you need 30% to pass, whichmeans you could get an E aggregate.

Pupils don’t have a high target to aim for,yet it is still a challenge to achieve.

This was unheard of in the nineties.I am extremely grateful to have complet­

ed my schooling then.However, I would like to write one of the

matric papers to see if I would have passedwith straight As if I wrote in this decade.

It scares me because these pupils areprobably not ready for the next stage in theirlives. Matric is the tip of the iceberg.

SMILE AWHILE

TWENTY one years into democ-racy, society faces new chal-lenges.

The scourge of drug abuseamongst youth has gripped commu-nities and is threatening the very fab-ric of society.

But what are the underlyingcauses of this addiction? Is it morecomplex than we think?

Local movie The Dance grappleswith this question as it follows the

journey of two youth,who leave theirinsulated rural lives and make theirwaytothebigcity, facinghardchoicesthat they have to make.

Featuring the talents of Kajal Bag-wandeen, Rory Booth, and MishqahParthiephal, this isapoignantstoryoflove and betrayal which is brilliantlyshot and well told.

Fromthewriter /directorofWhiteGold, Jayan Moodley this time withBonie Sithebe, both proudly Durban

female filmmakers, have collaborat-ed as writer/directors to bring themovie to life.

TheDanceisashort filmproducedaspartoftheAfricabyWomenprojectrun by the National film and VideoFoundation (NFVF).

Debuting at the Durban Interna-tional Film Festival in 2014, the filmwill be screened this Thursday 19February at 8.30pm on SABC 1.

THE health dangers of load shedding South Afri­ca's electricity crisis threatens to cripple the econ­omy, but it can be downright dangerous to yourhealth too.

Load shedding has become a way of life inSouth Africa as Eskom battles to keep the coun­try's lights on. To cope with electricity demands,it has implemented scheduled power outageswhich, by all accounts, should continue until April2015.

Electricity is essential for public health facili­ties so when the supply is unstable it could be fa­tal for patients undergoing emergency treat­ment,surgeryandthoseinintensivecare.Further­more, organs, vaccines and medication that needto be refrigerated can also spoil or become inef­fective.

How to prevent health issues during loadshedding:

Keep your first aid kit close by in case any acci­

dents happen in the dark, especially if you havechildren or older people living with you.

Dangers to health equipmentFor those who suffer from emphysema, make

sure that portable respirators are always charged.Asthmatics should also keep their nebulisers

charged.Anyone who uses oxygen, such as those suf­

fering from chronic bronchitis, sleep apnoea andother restrictive lung diseases, should keep an ex­tra oxygen tank so they can keep breathing easily.

Power outages can also impact dialysis ma­chines for home patients with kidney disease. Ifyou miss a dialysis session it can lead to 'lifethreatening hyperkalaemia. If you don't have al­ternative power sources, it would be best to ar­range dialysis treatment at a hospital.

CELLPHONE technology, and its cheapavailability, has made a huge difference inthe way society communicates and thespeed with which one can get and stay intouch.

However,thisprovidesalucrativechan­nel for scammers and snoopers, who usethe technology to steal money, identities,and even to track movements and listento conversations.

Irate residents from around the city arecomplaining of these SMSes and calls.

Durban man Robert Young said that hiswife received an SMS that she wonR50 000 in a competition and when shecontacted the company which was men­tioned in the SMS, she was told this wasfake.

He said the later that same day he re­ceived an SMS that he won R250 000 inan OMO competition and when he calledthe number in the SMS to claim his prizehe was told he can fly to Port Elizabeth tocollect the winnings or provide his bankingdetails for it to be deposited.

Young says that these scams are get­ting out of hand and he wants to warn oth­ers to always delete these types of SMSand not fall victim to it.

Another resident Mrs M Peters says shereceived an SMS for a ‘Weekend Away’scam.“Ireceivedacallfromapersonclaim­ing to be from MTN and informing me thethat I have won a weekend away to an un­named resort located on the KwaZulu­Na­tal North Coast or any other place.

“They request that I redeem the prizebefore a certain period. The caller also saidthat the prize can be exchanged for a cashpayment in the amount of R 20 000, how­ever first I need to purchase two R 180 MTNairtime vouchers. I then contacted my ser­viceproviderwhoinformedmeit isascam.”

OMO is also advising those that re­ceived the SMS to not respond.

A message on the company websiteread: “We are concerned to hear that thereare criminals sending fake messages tosome of our customers saying that theyhave won money from OMO.”

In addition OMO said that the companywill never ask customers to pay money intoany bank account in order to claim a prize.

Standard with the new Renault design, F1­in­spired 66kW turbo engine, most up­to­date smarttechnologies and unmatched safety levels.

Crossover design:New Sandero Stepway takes Renault’s new de­

sign identity to the next level. Its up­sized diamondshaped badge is suspended within the black frontgrille works well with the car’s crossover DNA: raisedground clearance (193mm), 16” wheels, front andrear silver skid plates, fog lamps with chrome sur­roundings, wheel arch trims and roof rails with silvertreatment.

Fuel consumption and efficiency:New Sandero comes with efficient solutions de­

signed to help drivers’ reduce their fuel consumptionand CO2 emissions. This allows for a frugal fuel con­sumption figure of 5.4­litres/100km and a CO2 emis­sions figure of 124g/km gaining exemption fromEmissions Tax.

Fuel consumption and efficiency features in­clude:

* The lifetime timing chain on the 66kw Turboengine requires no maintenance.

* Controlled oil pump: the variable capacitypump stabilises the flow in the pump in order to limitthe energy losses and reduces consumption.

* Full aluminium engine with a weight reductionof ­15kgs

weeklywheelsFifth­generation Opel Corsaarrives in South Africa

>> All new fifth­generation Opel Corsaset to continue strong32­year history

THE all new fifth generation Opel Corsawill reach Opel dealerships in SouthAfrica in March. The local introduction

comes just four months after the Corsa’s in­ternational premier at last year’s Paris Mo­tor Show.

The Opel Corsa has established itself asa perennial bestseller through four modelgenerations spanning 32 years, with over12.4 million units sold globally. Togetherwith the Astra, it is Opel’s most popularmodel, accounting for over a quarter of thecompany’s sales every year. The new fifthgeneration Corsa is set to build on its reputa­tion as an all­rounder by offering segment­leading levels of comfort, precision and effi­ciency.

Initially, the new Corsa will be madeavailable with Opel’s state­of­the­artthree­cylinder 1.0­litre turbocharged eco­FLEX engine with three trim levels: Cosmo,

Enjoy, and Essentia.“We have shifted the goal posts with a

totally convincing and desirable small carthat makes driving easier and more fun. Thenew Corsa has class leading connectivity,convenience and comfort as well as drivingsatisfaction,” says Opel brand manager atGeneral Motors South Africa, ChristopherCradock.

“Affordability and value­for­moneyhave always been Corsa hallmarks and withthe new vehicle, these are set to continue.We have ensured that all derivatives in thenew Corsa range adopt a no­compromiseapproach to those most important vehicleaspects, along with the availability of ‘op­tion packs’ to enhance the vehicle to theowner’s taste and satisfaction.”

With its inspiring design, innovative

technology and engaging drive, the new Cor­sa will appeal to single men and women,professionals with young families, andyoung­at­heart drivers who love great carsand want something that will set themapart from the crowd.

The exterior design of the new Corsa isall about dramatic surfaces with crisp sculp­tured lines. As with the ADAM, the design ofthe new Corsa is ruled by Opel’s latest designphilosophy of ‘sculptural artistry meets Ger­man engineering’. This design language canbe seen in the complex curvature of all thesurfaces, reinforced by quality details suchas the Opel signature ‘wing’ LED daytimerunning lights and silver vision bulbs in theindicator lights to avoid an irritating yellowtint when unlit.

gest powertrain offen­sive in the company’shistory which includesthree new­generationengine families and willsee 17 new engines in­troduced by 2018.

The new Corsa re­ceives Opel’s state­of­the­art 1.0 litre ecoFLEXDirect Injection Turboengine. First introducedin the recently­launched Opel ADAM, italso is the highlight ofthe fifth­generationCorsa.

The engine offersoutstandingly sophisti­cated driving refine­ment and responsive­ness together with fru­gal fuel consumption –proving that high driv­ing comfort and plea­sure can be combinedwith excellent efficien­cy.

Developed from ablank sheet of paper,this engine is the first ofa new family of smallpetrol three­ and four­cylinder units which willbe progressively intro­duced in the Opel range.A three­cylinder archi­tecture has been select­ed to reach new levelsof fuel efficiency forpetrol­powered cars.

As some customershesitate to opt forthree­cylinder enginesdue to their rather highlevel of noise and vibra­tion, the 200 engineerswho developed Opel’snew generation unit inRüsselsheim over thelast three­and­a­halfyearsputcomfortatthetop of their develop­ment priority list.

Will the Proteasbloom or wither?>> Local coach says it’s South Africa’s time to shine

WEEKLY REPORTER

WILL the Proteas bloom in the2015 ICC Cricket World Cupor wither away in the quar-

ter-finals?President of Manor Cricket Club,

Narendra Singh (a die-hard supporterof the Proteas) said: “It’s time for theProteastobloom.ItistimeSouthAfricawipe out memories of previous WorldCups and concentrate solely on the jobat hand.

“I believe that the Proteassquad is a well balancedside that can go all theway. Proven batsmenlike AB de Villiers andHashim Amla can pileon the runs and a solidplatform for the likesof Rilee Rossouw,Jean-Paul Duminy, Da-vid Miller, Faf du Plessis,QuintondeKock andFar-haan Behardien totake controland sethuge tar-gets.

“Good, long partnerships are alsothe key. Good cleanhittingmust be theorder of the day to get the ball over theropes inAustralia andNewZealandasa lot of batsmen are getting caughtshort of the boundary.

“Thewizardryof ImranTahir couldbe ourmatch winner in disguise. Tak-ing wickets regularly is the answer todisrupting the opponents batting mo-mentum, and this will surely be a keyarea together with bowling at thedeath.

“We have all the stars and inthink it’s our time to shine, ‘KeNako’. IsincerelyhopethattheProteas can bloom and thistime come home as a bunchof winners”.

So where will the Pro-teas fall short?Will they beexposed yet again in thequarter-finals or semi-fi-nals of the ICCWorld Cup orwill they finally overcome

the hoodoo in theknockout

stages ofthe tour-

namentandgoall theway to clinch thecoveted title that have eluded them?

When the quartet of young strokemaker Quinton de Kock, Amla, AB deVilliers,FafduPlessisbattletokeepthescore-boardticking,whocanSouthAf-rica depend upon to take them out oftheir misery? They lack a genuineworld-class all rounder (gone are thedays of LanceKlusener, ShaunPollockand Jacques Kallis).

Yet, tournament favourites Austra-lia boast a depth in batting which in-cludeall-rounder JamesFaulknerandGlen Maxwell together with the bowl-ing pedigree of Mitch Marsh.

They have justified their favourit-ism at the top of the leader-boards,having lost Warner (22), Watson (0),Smith (5) cheaply, but went on from70/3 in the 10th over to amass 342/9in their allotted 50-overs against Eng-land on Saturday before going on tocrush their rivals by 111 runs in theopening fixture of the 2015 ICCWorldCup.

New Zealand, have been quoted bybookmakers as second favourites be-hind Australia to clinch theWorld Cupon home soil. After their demolition ofSouth Africa in awarm-up game, theywallopedSri Lankaby98-runs in theiropening ICCWorld Cup fixture on Sat-urday.

The Proteas’ batting has becomevulnerablewhenchasingatarget-hav-ing lost more than 10 of their last 18ODIs when batting second. Com-pounded with South Africa’s problemischasingatarget inexcessof250runs(batting at a rate of 5 runs per over).

They lost almost eight times out often times when set a target a target ofmore than 250-plus. After their jitterystart on Sunday despite beating Zim-babwe, therearemanySouthAfricanswho think that the Proteas will witheraway.
