How to stay financially comfortable atRetirement
many articles have been written about beingfinancially prepared for retirement but veryfew articles talk about what you need to do tostay financially comfortable.
It is more difficult to deal with financialchallenges when you are retired than whenyou are young. So take these steps now tostay financially secure and look out for thefollowing risks:
Inflation risk is a reality and happens whenyour pension doesn’t keep up with inflation,e.g. in 2005 R20 could buy you three bags ofrice, but now it’ll only buy you one bag.
this leads us to the longevity risk – living long and possibly running out of income.the savings we have when we retire may not be enough to support us in our goldenyears, especially with medical technology that lets us live longer.
another risk that gets overlooked is consumption risk – consuming more than whatyour financial plan can support. Schedule an annual review of your investments andstay in touch with your financial affairs.
then there’s investment risk – the risk of making the wrong investment decisions.there isn’t much time to fix any wrong investment choices after you’ve retired soget a qualified financial adviser to help you.
Your financial partner before and at retirementWe can help with one of the biggest financial decisions that will impact the restof your life. Contact the Pietermaritzburg branch on (033) 345 7301 or visit us at291 Pietermaritz Street, Pietermaritzburg.

Siyabongangemibono yenu>> Abanye bathi kudlalwa ngoSathane ngoba engeke aziphendulele
KULE ngosi yanamhlanje sicelaukubonga kakhulu kubobonke abazwakalise imibono
ngemibiko esisanda kuyishicilelangezingozi zasemgwaqweni.
Sikhuluma lapha, ikakhulukazingengoziyezinganeezaziphumaem-khosini woMhlanga eNyokeni,KwaNongoma enyakatho yeKwaZu-lu-Natal neyeloli eyenzeka empam-banweni yemigwaqo uRichmond noFields Hill ePinetown entshonalangayeTheku.
Okusijabulisa kakhulu kubafundibethu, ukuthi batshengise ukuse-mukelangazozombili izicelozokuse-benzisa le nkundla yesiZulu evuliwekumaphephandaba eFever/Echoukuthi bazwakalise imibono yabongokukhululeka, ngoba sikholwa
wukuthi yiyona ndlela leyo engale-kelela ekuvuseleleni ubuntu em-phakathini.
Sijatshuliswa nawukuthi abantuasebeke bazwakalisa imibono yabo,akusibona nje abantu abadlalayo,abazichithela isikhathi, kodwakuyazwakala ukuthi ngabantu aba-vuthiwe ngokomqondo.
Nokho abanye basishayele izinc-ingo bangathanda ukuthi imibonoyabo ishicilelwe nanxa beyincomainkundla abavulelwe yona yokubekaimibono. Abanye baphawula ukuthinanxakwamanyeamaphephandabaeFever/Echo sikhona isikhalasokubeka imibono yabo ngesiZulunjengakwi-Echo, bayasijabulela es-inye esiqhamukayo ngoba asisoze
sanela isikhala abasidingayo ngobaziningi ngendlela exaka ukwenzaizinselelo ababhekene nazo.
Ngenxa yokuthi udaba lwengoziyaseFieldsHillselusenkantolo,ngekesingene kulona kakhulu. Kodwa sin-gakuphawula ukuthi abaningi basa-didwa wukuthi sathathwa kanjaniisithombesengozi,sithathwawubaniuma ngabe sathathwa ngumuntunokuthi wayaze kanjani ukuthi ku-zoba khona ingozi.
Ngenxa yokuthuthuka kwe ‘tech-nology’, kukhonaabathi kungenzekaukuthi ingoziyathwetshulwayi ‘cam-era’ eyayisemotweni ethile ngoba in-ingilezimotoesezikhiqizwakulemin-yaka, ziphuma sezinawo lapho za-khiwa khona.
Kukhona nabakholelwa wukuthiyimisebenzi yenkolo kaSathane (Sa-tanism). Kukhona abayikhahlelangazo zombili eyenkolo yobuSa-thane. Bathi kudlalwa ngoSathanengobaengekeaziphendulele.Bayazi-bekanezizathuzokuvikelauSathane.
Okubuhlungu wukuthi nomasekubikwe kabanzi ngezingozi emg-waqweni, kwexwayiswa nangokugi-jimisa izimoto zize zeqe ijubaneelisemthethweni, kukhona abashay-eli abasaphikelele nokwephula imi-thetho yomgwaqo.
Sibhala lolu daba nje, kunowesi-fazanewomdabuwaseHillcrest ents-honalanga yeTheku ocele singalida-luli igama lakhe, oshayiswe yimotoyashaya yachitha (hit and run) kulo
leli dolobha elincane. Kumanje ku-vulwe icala elingunombolo OB833/10/2013. Kwenzeka lokhu nje,selokhu uqalile uMfumfu (Ocotober),owaziwa nge ‘Transport Month’kwexwayiswawonkeumuntungoku-qikelela ezomgwaqo.
Nathi siyanxusaukuthiwonkeos-ebenzisa umgwaqo nganoma iyiphiindlela, azame ngakho konke okuse-mandleni ukugwema ingozi. Ayikhointo edlula isineke, ukubekezelanokuhlonipha emgwaqweni.
Masikhumbule futhi ukuthi aku-sizona izimoto kuphela ezidala izin-gozi,nabahambangezinyawobayay-idala inxushunxushu, ikakhulukaziemigwaqweni emikhulu esemad-olobheni.

Engathi sekudlalwa ngabo abezindlu zocingo nodakaABANTU baseImbali Unit BB bakhalelainto yokukhalelwa njengoba nje sekunemizi emisha eyakhiwayo kodwa eyabo ingaphelile.Phela laba bantu badilizelwa imizi yabo
eyabe yakhiwe ngocingo nodaka ukuzebakhelwe imizi emisha eminyakeni emineedlule.Kodwa sekuvele kwaqalwa ukwakhiwa
kwezinye izindlu zingavusiwe ezabo.
Phela hhayi ukuthi laba bantu bakhaliswa ukuthi beqiwe kade bephambili ohlwini kodwa bathi olwabo uhlu selubekweeceleni yize badilizelwa ezabo yiwoumasipala uMsunduzi noMnyangowezeNhlalo yoMphakathi.Ngakhoke baqinisile ukuthi uma kukhona noma yini eyakhiwayo efana nendlu,kufanele kuqalwe ngabo. Ukwakhelwakwabanye bona bekhona kuwuphawu
lokuthi sekuvele kwakhohlwa ngabo,okusho ukuthi abazibonele.
Laba bantu kukaningi bekhala bethibahlalaemiqashweninasezihlotsheniokwenza bangabi nayo indawo lapho bengenza khona izinto zabo zangasese.Uma beshonelwe abakhululeki ukusukela emzini yabantu beyongcwaba. Nomabefuna ukwenza imisebenzi akulula ukuthi yenzeka kahle ezihlotsheni.
Uma kuwukuthi le mizi okuthiwa iyakhiwa manje iyaqhubeka, kuyosho ukuthibengagcina ngisho beyinhlekisa kulaboabazoyithola kuqala.
Asethembe ke kodwa ukuthi kuzobanjengokusho kwekhansela lesigceme uPhili Sithole ukuthi ukwakhiwa kwalezizindlu kuzokwenzeka maduze nje. Phelakade sasiyizwa le mpendulo!

SIYABONGA MSHENGU
The Arts and Culture Department should learn to take our artists seriously
WHEN the ANC established its department of arts and culture(DAC) in 1982, it was not just a
mere amorphous and ludicrous gesture,but it was initiated to mobilise South African cultural workers at home and abroad.It was also to engage a broad range of people in the culture of protest and resistance,its goal broadly being the democratictransformation of arts and culture in ourcountry.For decades instruments of division and
subjugation, arts and culture were seen bythe DAC as unifying tools of liberation forall South Africans.In 1993 the Culture and Development Conferences (CDC), convened by former ANCpresident Oliver Tambo, was held in Johannesburg, primarily to draw up an inclusiveand nonsectarian national arts and culture policy for South Africa. The importantthing about CDC is that it was not concerned with questions of liberation, butthat of governance.Some of its objectives were: to bring to
gether creative workers from across thecultural and political spectrum and provide a showcase for their work and creations, and to provide a platform for allstakeholders to make their contribution todeveloping a new culture dispensation.
The call for a ministry of arts and culturewas sounded at this conference, and shortly after the election, the ministry wasformed with Dr. Ben Ngubane at the headand Winnie Mandela as his deputy. All theabove mentioned efforts demanded a lotof seriousness, commitment and dedication on the part of the ANC, and it was nota child’s play.But since the attainment of our freedom
in 1994, it seems as if our department ofarts and culture has forgotten that it wascreated on the premise of transformingSouth Africa’s cultural landscape for thebetter. Our artists are perishing in destitution in the presence of the DAC. Artistic andcultural organisations struggle to get financial assistance from the department.The reason being that it is highly bureaucratic and this bureaucracy being the maincause of its inefficiency and dysfunctionality.These faceless, cynical and jealous offi
cials with their red tape, who perceive andtreat arts and culture with frivolity and insensitivity, are the chief stumbling block tothe development of our artists. Let alonetheirnotbeingpassionateandknowledgeable about the arts, they are there, just likeany other employees, to support their families.Foryears, ItogetherwithlocaljazzguitaristZazi Mncube, bass player Langa Mthalane,Vusi Msomi and Sabelo Mwandla, both theactors, tried to approach the departmentto assist our Take Four Musical Organisation, to no avail. This transpired despite the
fact that we had all the required documentation. When we realized that they wereutterly reluctant to assist us, it became vividly clear to us that pestering them was afutile exercise.
Bhekabona Qwabe, the late freelancedrummer, and Smanga Zibula, the guitarist for the local jazz band, Fate for Africa,are some of our highly talented musicianswho died without having been supportedin their creative endeavours. Even the artists who called themselves, uMgungundlovu Concerned Artists, under the chairmanship of Kwenza Mthembu, in June this year,raised this matter of our artists being takenfor granted by the department, with theMEC for Arts and Culture, NtombikayiseSibhidla Saphetha.These departments of ours are very good
in terms of returning funds allocated tothem back to the National Treasury, butextremely incompetent when it comes tospending them to the benefit of eligiblepeople. South Africa is a land of plenty, soseeing our artists suffering is iniquitous.But then how do we expect our artists in
this part of the world to flourish when ourvery current national minister of arts andculture, Paul Mashatile, regarded his appointment to head the ministry, as a political demotion? Do you think our honourable minister who feels as having been relegated can work diligently to address theplight of our creative workers? Do our municipalities together with their ward councillors comprehend the importance of thearts in their communities?
I received with jubilation the news thatWinston Churchill Theatre had been revamped. But how do we take pride in thephysical structure of the hospital withoutcherishing health practitioners, and isn’t ridiculous to admire a university’s exquisiteness and denigrate its lecturers?South Africa has a high rate of unemployment, and in the ranks of the unemployedwe have artists who only need governmentsupport to do their creative work, whichcould help in the reduction of unemployment. Even the private sector has the social responsibility to assist our artists. Howdo you explain the philanthropy characterized by selectivity, the philanthropist whocan’t operate without the media? Shouldour good Samaritans be selective in termsof rescuing the indigent artists? Should thewhole world know when I have been assisted, and is being generous quietly not beneficial or an anathema? I don’t think knowing why some of our philanthropists can’tbe dissociated from politicians, and viceversa, is a problem.The indispensability of the arts in human
existence is indisputable, and music is aclassic example: weddings, parties, celebrations, churches, funerals, political gatherings, electronic media, schools and othersettings, music plays a pivotal role and isunavoidable. The contribution of our musicians in the political struggle can never bedisdained and trivialised.
Our theatres have always been sacredspaces because our stories, poems, musicand dance have been soldiers that escalat
ed the liberation struggle which ultimatelydismantled oppression. Theatre in SouthAfrica has always been a dynamic forumthat has given us courage to grapple withthe state of our nation. Our writers, standup comedians, satirists and communitybased artists have utilised their immenseand remarkable talents to create and nurture a climate that has allowed us all tobecome active participants in our democracy.
Our artists are our nation’s conscience;they give us a window on our world, butalso give us glimpse of an imaginary world.They have incredible gift of uniting us allin a common celebration of humanitywhen we are able to laugh, cry, feel sorrowand experience hope.Musa Nkuna, a supremely gifted South African opera singer, says: “We are culture, wedefine our own culture, and we are responsible for our culture. Because culture is social glue that keeps societies and communities together, any little crack will causethings to fall apart.We earnestly entreat and appeal to the
department of arts and culture to changetheir attitude towards our artists, thisthing of belittling our artists should cometo an end. Our society, as well, should takearts and culture seriously, for the nationthat doesn’t embrace its cultural aspect isdoomed to deteriorate.

THE South African pride and the only Mzansiteam campaigning in the high profile CAFChampions League, OrlandoPirates look set tomake another piece of history.
TheMightyBucsistravellingfortheirCham-pions League semi- final showdown on Satur-day against Esperance in Tunis.
Pirates only need a scoring draw to reachthe final phase of the tournament.
A fortnight ago the Soweto giants played toa goaless draw at Orlando Stadium during thefirst leg of the semi final.
Reaching the Cham-pions League final andwinning it will surelybring back good oldmemories to Piratesdies-hards when theyclaimed it in 1995.
During the historicyear, theBuccaneershadquality players all roundand in all positions suchas Gavin Lane,
Mark Fish, EdwardMotale, Jerry Skhosana,HelmanMkhalele, Bren-don Silent, Papi Kgo-mane and WilliamOkpara, just to count thefew.
Pirates former star defender, Motale be-lieves the SA side
is standing a good chance to make it to thefinals, but will have to dig deep, be united andbe strong mentally and physically.
“Thefirst thingtheymustunderstandisthatthere’s
a lot in stake. The opponents are likely to doanything just to play mind games for them tolose focus.
“The players must also remember what isthe meaning
of reaching the CAF Champions League fi-nal. Conquering Africa and earning anotherstarwillbeground-breakingandanotherhisto-ry for Pirates as an SA side.
“Personally, I thinkthisteamcangothroughandwinprovided that theyplay likea team,diefor one another from the first whistles.
“For me, I think, with a strong and rightmentallity they
are standing a good chance,” said Motale.He further said the only thing that carried
Pirates through during their “old glory” dayswas “unity and brotherhood”.
Pirates assistant coach, Teboho Moloi saidhisteamwasreadyforthebigstageandagruel-
lingencounteraway.Hesaid the onlyway towinis to have a winningmentality and going fora kill.
“It’s an away gameand won’t be easy at allbut we can win it if weplay with the rightframe of mind and atti-tude.
“In games like thisthe attitude and strongmentality counts a lot togo through,” explainedMoloi.
Pirates veteran de-fender, captain and anatural leader, LuckyLekgwathi is expected
tobebackinthefoldafterSiyabongaSangweni,who acted as a skipper recently,
picked up an injury.It is left to be seen if the personal problems
Lekgwathi had with the head coach, Roger DeSa and other techical team members are nowsorted and if he is in the good shape to play.
His presence and his leadership skills areneeded in the team. A plus for Pirates is thattheir industrious midfielder, Thandani Ntshu-mayelo will be fit to play.
IfPiratesachieveascoringdrawagainstEs-perance, they will advance to the final wheretheywillmeet eitherCamroon’sCotonSport orAl Ahly of Egypt.-Jerry Barnes

THABO DLADLA
TALKINGFOOTBALL
PRESENTLY, the majority of us seek more faults andweaknesses than solutions for South African football. We are failing to understand that the future andthe strength of our game depends on everyone involved.We need to move away from the thinking that indi
is being violated in our country.Football is more about what happens inside the fieldthan many useless things people talk about. It isabout dominating the ball and making the right decisions. Football is both an art and science. Young people therefore need to be trained to develop their abilities. Trainers/ coaches themselves need to be empowered with knowledge and skills.We need to develop a culture of excellence in foot
ball. Managers, referees, coaches and players shouldstrive to do their best. Aristotle says: “We are whatwe repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act buta habit.” If nations like Germany and Brazil can doit, nothing can stop us.Unzima lo mthwalo!
viduals can provide all solutions. It is not by chancethat other nations are doing well. There is alwaysthe right or correct way of doing things. South Africans must start to do things the right way. Thisis a simple formula for success.We cannot claim to be a football loving nation
while there are no facilities. Government cannotclaim to be behind football while facilities in mostareas are either in disrepair or nonexistent. Players need decent training and competition fields todevelop their skills. The numbers that Danny Jordan is talking about in terms of players and matches will not materialise without facilities.We are a country that has no respect for sports.
It is the last thing in our priorities. We find it easyto erect tents and park vehicles thereby destroyingthe turf. People do not understand the value ofquality facilities in terms of training and competition. It is also obvious that the understanding andappreciation for quality fields will take many yearsto materialize. It takes some time to change thethinking through training and education.A country that hosted the top world footballers
in 2010 has no business subjecting their childrento play under dangerous conditions. We cannot betalking of unmarked fields with uncut turf in 2013.The conditions do not encourage our young to takeup this beautiful game. I think we spend a lot ofenergy talking about useless rights for young people. The right to play and develop sporting skills

TKO matchesexpected toentertainTHIS week, South African soc-
cer will switch to the interest-ing annual Telkom Knockout
series.It is interesting to note that the
2012 TKO Champions, Bloemfon-tein Celtic, are not only already outbut have also suddenly parted wayswith their head coach, ClintonLarsen.
Although the Free State–basedoutfit still insist that thedepartureofthe Wentworth–born and formerManningRangersplayerwasnotex-pected and took them by surprise,indications are clear that poor re-sults were the main reason.
“Larsen’s resignation took all ofus by surprise and we did not see itcoming,”saidCeltic’sCEO,Khumbu-
lani Khonco.Echo has reliably learnt that los-
ing to BidvestWits 3–0 in theMTN8fixture and also the disappointing4-0 loss to Sundowns during the re-cent TKO games broke the carmel’sback, and Phunya Selesele did nottake it kindly.
Currently as things stand, theTKOtrophyseemstobeanopenracebut it will bewise to pay attention tothe likes of Kaizer Chiefs, Super-Sport United, Mamelodi Sundowns,PlatinumStars andOrlandoPirates.
The only side expected to hoistthe KZN flag aloft is LamontvilleGolden Arrows, who are scheduledto meet the ever–travelling Pirateson 23 October away at Orlando Sta-dium.
