Stick to resoltionsWhat are your resolutions for this year?Do you have any? I tell you when I hearda radio personality say that she does nothave any, I thought she was cool. Youcan’t have what you can’t do. You betterdo as you say.Don’t say and not do, if you know what
I mean. And she said that. She was likesmart. She sounded reasonable. And theguy that asked her agreed with her. Myonly qualm with her is that she is adangerous. She is a dangerous rolemodel. Role models be careful. Don’tmislead your fans. People look up to you.And when you say you don’t set goals,you say its okay to do nothing.You get my drift. It’s okay to do
nothing? But it is not okay not to donothing. It is okay to do something. Notnothing! I want to emphasize that. I wantto emphasize that because I am alarmed.I am alarmed at the lacklustre we have
become. Doesn’t she want to be a betterradio personality than she was last year?I know it is difficult to say you want tobe better than you were last year inpublic. People will think you are high-minded. Just because of that you do notthink about it. Have you thought to bebetter than you were last year?Have you thought to be a better
teacher? Have you thought to be a bettercop? Have you thought to be a betternurse? Have you thought to be a betterstudent? Have you thought to be a betterjournalist? I can name them all. Sufficeto say, “Have you thought?”This is why we do not go anywhere in
life. We do not think of performance. Wethink of acquiring. I want to have abetter car. I want to have a better phone.Not I want to do this, or that. I want toprovide a better service to my clients.That could be a better resolution, youknow. Do something for other people, andnot for yourself. That’s right, you heardme right. This year, put others first. Notyou. I can hear you say I must be crazy.You won’t do that. You will always comefirst. Others will come last. Life is agame. How you play it determines howhappy you will be. If you want to behappy, forget yourself. No, you can’tforget yourself. You will always be you.Wherever you go you will be there.You can’t be someone else. That can
never happen.But you can think of others. They can
always come first in your life.This is a kind of a resolution you can
adopt. It is something not done. But forthis year, you can. Let your clients comefirst. Not you. Stay positive.

There seems to be no light at the end of thetunnel for pension and other social grant re-cipients who have seen monies deductedfrom the grants.
The deductions which vary between R80and R100 have been going on since mid 2014,according to victims from Khayelitsha.
Nomathemba Nini, 68, is one of the victimswho are angered by these deductions whichshe never agreed on.
“Ever since the first deduction which hap-pened in June last year, they have been tak-ing my money every month. It wouldn’t bea problem if I had made an agreement withsomeone but I never agreed on any such de-ductions,” said Nini from her Ilitha ParkHome.
She said that the amount ranges betweenR85 to R100. On the receipt the reference is“prepaid airtime”, which drives Nini crazyas she says that she buys airtime from theshops using cash.
She said that Sassa officials treat her withcontempt every time she goes to seek help.
“I have been there more than twice and theworkers there told me to stop getting intothings that I don’t know about.
I don’t remember getting into such anagreement or even giving away my detailsto such people,” she says. She told City Vi-sion that Sassa staff also eluded to pension-ers grand children as possible culprits.
“My 20-year-old granddaughter also hasthe same problem. Her 8-month-old child’sgrant also has airtime deduction that sheknows nothing about. This is really confus-ing and they are not giving us answers,” saidthe enraged gogo.
Two houses away from Nini’s home anoth-er pensioner, Thembeka Timoti, has thesame headache.
“I first noticed that there were deductionsin September 2014 and went to the local Sas-sa office to enquire.
They just told me that I may have agreedwith some company but I do not remembergetting into an agreement for airtime,” shesaid.
She said that many other pensioners werecomplaining about the same problem but didnot have anywhere to go.
“They are the ones who are supposed tohelp us in such matters because we neverasked for this. If indeed there are people run-ning a scam they need to be stopped,” Timotitold City Vision.
Sassa officials were unable to respond toCity Vision’s questions at the time of goingto print.
Last year November the MEC for social de-velopment, Albert Frits, sent out a publicwarning regarding a scam targeting socialgrants recipients in Khayelitsha and sur-rounding areas.
According to Frits recipients were dupedinto exchanging information.
“The scam allegedly involved SASSA cli-ents being called by individuals claiming tobe representatives of the provincial depart-ment or SASSA, asking them to “validate”their personal information, including thedigits on their SASSA cards,” said Fritz.
Both women however did not remembergetting such phone calls. The departmenthad earlier revealed that last year the pro-vincial department received and dealt with235 cases of irregular deductions from pen-sioner’s accounts.

President Zuma calls for business to support the ANCSTAFF REPORTER
Thousands of ANC supporters flocked to theCape Town Stadium on Saturday to cele-brate the 103rd anniversary of the rulingparty.The city centre was awash with the gold,
green and black of theAfricanNational Con-gress as supporters scrambled to find publictransport to get to the venue.Security was tight as hundreds of city law
enforcement officers, members of the SAPS,private security and ANC marshals main-tained law and order.Bags were searched thoroughly at access
control points, slowing down the entry ofpeople into the stadium.
Zuma addressed an estimated 70 000 sup-porters at the Cape Town Stadium as part ofthe party’s birthday celebrations.Zuma devoted much of his speech to talk-
ing about corruption, saying there was a
misperception that the ANC was largelyresponsible for it.“It cannot be...it’s another misrepresen-
tation of fact,” he said.Zuma said the ANC government had
been unique in its attempts to root out cor-ruption in the public service.“We cannot allow the scourge of corrup-
tion that eats at the fabric of our societyand constrains economic development [tocontinue].“The ANC must continue to lead in end-
ing corruption in the state, the private sec-tor and amongst our own members.”Earlier, Zuma discussed the most press-
ing challenge facing the government in theyear ahead – notably Eskom’s capacityproblems.“Our country needs creative and prag-
matic solutions to guarantee security of
supply for our energy needs.”Zuma said the government would contin-
ue to explore alternative options in nuclear,gas and renewable energy.“The ANC is therefore putting energy as
one of our apex priorities.”Turning to social challenges, Zuma said
land remained a pressing concern for theANC. “Land has been at the heart of the his-toric injustice of dispossession and the strip-ping of the dignity of the African people.“We commit that the land will return to
our people and the ANC calls on its govern-ment to act with necessary speed to put thelegislation in place, this year, to ensure thatthis happens.”However, he said that expropriation
would be done in line with the Constitutionand, hand in hand with this, would be deci-sive steps to prevent farm evictions.

Anelisa Sonjola from Khayelitsha says thatlast week she was mugged. And robbed ofher dreadlocks!
“I was walking to my place in Makhaza atabout 8pm. Three men approached me andasked for R2.
“I said I do not have it. Another guy whowas behind me commented on my hair say-ing that it lookedbeautiful and that it is long.I smiled and said thank you. They left andchanged their direction,” says Sonjola.
Then a shortwhile later, she says, themencame back. One of them held her by her hairand tripped her so that she landed on theground. “Before I could even screamanotherguy hit me on my face with his fist and I be-
cameweak. I was scared. I didn’t knowwhatthey wanted. I offeredmymoney, phone andthe things I was carrying which they took,”Sonjola says. “The third guy had a scissors.I was confused. I thought they were going tokill me using the scissors. I was so shockedwhen they started cutting my hair.”

She says that theway they cut her hair feltas if they were cutting down a tree, and itwas very painful.
LizoMaseko is a hairstylist in Nyanga. Hesays having dreadlocks robbed in the town-ships is common because criminals seedreads as a way of getting easy money.
“People come to my salon carrying plasticbag full of dreadlocks, selling them. Theprice depends on how clean, healthy andlong they are. The most expensive dreads Ibought from a personwere R3,400. I don’t re-ally ask where they get them from,” saysMaseko.

Aman known as Ace fromHarare, Khaye-litsha, claims that he used to rob people oftheir dreadlocks. He says that it’s easy, andthat he targeted people late at night especial-ly on weekends when people were drunk.
According to Alijah Sobuko who is a Ras-tafarian, it is not easy to rob a Rastafarianof their dreads because the criminals as-sume that the Rastafarian dreads are holyand some believe they have umuthi (tradi-tional herbs) locked in the dreads. Neverthe-less he says he knows a Rastafarian whosedreads were stolen.
Jeff who owns a salon in Mowbray saysthat people who have dreadlocks should beon alert at all times especially during the fes-tive season, because dreads are a fashiontrend. “Criminals need money and dreadsare sold at a very expensive price,” hesays.-GroundUUp

The cell phones were recovered at a housein YB Block Site B where they were kept,”he said
Both suspects aged 28 and 25 were respec-tively arrested for perjury and appeared inKhayelitsha Magistrate court on differentdates.

Restore unity and hopebrought by Freedom Char-terThe Freedom Charter is a statement ofcore principles coming from the idea of astate that is based on the will of thepeople.It is a wise U-turn by the ANC to
reclaim the Freedom Charter as abarometer to measure what has gonewrong since the dawn of our liberation.We need committed leaders to imple-
ment the Freedom Charter at all cost. Itwill make a difference to the quality ofpeople’s lives and prospects.Our councillors have to balance the
needs and interests of the people theyserve.The new order was supposed to be
based on the will of the people, yet fruitsellers on pavements are still being
harassed by the police.The Freedom Charter tells us that our
country will never be prosperous or freeuntil all our people live in brotherhood,enjoying equal rights and opportunities.As long as there are millions of unem-
ployed, homeless people without electrici-ty or running water, the liberation isincomplete. We’re still fighting forfreedom.The unity that prevailed during the
adoption of the Freedom Charter needs tobe restored.It’s good that the ANC has reverted to
the charter.PINKY LUHLABA

Be positive about our landThis is a beautiful country and themajority of South Africans have ubuntu.Our country’s landscape attracts people
from all walks of life and many end upsettling in our country. We have goodstories to tell about all good things thatare happening in our country on a dailybasis. Yes, we have bad stories too, andthe media sell their wares by focusing onthe bad stories. Many opinion-makersincluding musicians, political analystsand politicians also focus on negativesrather than positives. This year, 2015,should be a year of hope when all of us
must project positives more than nega-tives. We need to change the way we seeand do things. We should take all the badthings that have happened as lessons.All those in leadership positions in
their respective fields should preach andpractise positive things this year. We canonly turn things around when we attractpositive things and repel negative ones,for the sake of our country and thefuture. We must stop hating our countryand lead healthy lives.

each year, when the preliminary exam iswritten. Matrics who fail this examshould not be allowed to write the finalexam.Go to any public library in the city and
you’ll see it filled with children wantingto achieve their goals. We need morelibraries in rural areas.Preparation for the final matric exam
should start in grade 11, leaving the finalyear in grade 12 for revision.Attend extra lessons every Saturday

Peoples gym fight the bulgeTwo fitness fanatics have given up theirtime and expertise to help Khayelitsha resi-dents beat the bulge and stay healthy.Every afternoon during the week profes-
sional boxer Ncedisile ‘Jones’ Kafile and ka-ratekaThaboMakgatho assemble a “peoplesgym” outside the Look Out Hill in SpineRoad giving exercises to anyone willing tobe tormented.“We started this in June last yearwhenwe
saw people training randomly on their ownwithout any help,” said Ncedisile.Thabo said it was people’s dedication that
drove them to “want to help”.“Myself and Ncedile we noticed that these
peoplewere coming to exercise everydaybutthey had no method or mentoring so wegrouped them and we are doing the samething now,” said Thabo.After training sessions which include a
few kilo metre run, muscular and cardio ex-ercises, the duo share tipswith grouponvar-ious subject ranging from the diet and otherrelevant lifestyle matters.“Many people say they want lose weight
or get in shape as a New Year’s resolutionbut they keep repeating the samemistakes,”Ncedisile.Every year thousands of people start a
quest to be more active on January 1 and a
few months later, the majority of them stop.Thabo said a few simple steps can keep
people in the routine longer, hopefully mak-ing exercise part of someone’s routine.“Peoplemust learn to set aside time for ex-
ercise. If theywant tomake exercise apriori-ty, they have to stop doing something else,”he said.He said advantages of “group training”
were that people encouraged each otherwhen they lacked commitment.“When doing it alone, you cannot moti-
vate yourself but you will keep a commit-ment to someone else that you won’t keep toyourself,” said Ncedisile.
One of the trainees taking in the gym isNetsai Kwanisayi is upbeat.“I am doing this for health reasons and I
am already seeing the difference it makes tome,” said Netsai.Everyday she drags her 14 year old niece
Liberty Chibanda to the session.Liberty is also very excited by the tips and
advice he receives from the two coaches.“This keeps me fresh at school,”he en-
thused.Formore information on training tips call

CITY VISIONThursday, 15 January 2015 SPORT 15Langa: Games set to grow
Youth bowled over by crickfestVOOX SONANDZI
As the Boxing Day Test matches dominatedheadlines around the world, the communityof Langa also enjoyed its December cricketfestival.
The ‘crickfest’ as Langa Cricket Club(LCC) officials call it was a huge success.
The event attracted more than 60 childrenwho came for coaching clinics and a rare op-portunity of rubbing shoulders with cricketstars like Thami Tsolekile Siya Simetu, Mal-usi Siboto all of whom were born in Langa.
LCC official Lungile Tsolekile said theevent was originally started in 2013 but dueto interest shown the public they have decid-ed to make it “annual event”.
“We decided to make a whole day event in-volving kids who would be coached by theplayers they often see on TV rather than inthe club. On the same breath we are tryingto get the community and parents involvedin the club and recruiting members,” saidLungile.
The highlight of the event was having chil-dren arriving early in the morning to takepart, and having to take part in the clinic andactually ending up hanging around thewhole day.
“This gives a view that kids are willingand want to participate. We need to have ini-tiatives to make our stadiums attractive forboth children and parents,” he said.
Meanwhile the general manager of West-ern Province Cricket Association (WPCA) ,Nabiel Dien also hailed “crickfest as a re-sounding success.”
“The launch of the Newlands Cricket HighSchool and the Langa Cricket Festival areset to accelerate the production of blackplayers at franchise and national level andrevive the game in the township that pro-
duced Thami Tsolekile and South Africa’slatest test debutant, Temba Bavuma, saidDien.
Bavuma, born in the same street in Langaas Tsolekile, was involved in the second testagainst the West Indies at St. George’s Parkin Port Elizabeth as SA middle-order bats-man during the festival and could not at-tend.
The Langa festival, sponsored by CricketSouth Africa (CSA), the WPCA and support-ed by Kookaburra and Sportsman’s Ware-house, lured about 1500 people.
Simetu, Siboto, Tsolekile and Bavumahosted four participating teams.
“The festival will be an annual event onthe CSA- and WPCA-calendar,” said Beres-ford Williams, president of WPCA.
“The purpose of the festival was to revivecricket in one of the most important hotbedsof cricket development in the Western Cape.Langa is one of eight transformation hubsin the area.
