To succeed you haveto do your own thingWhich is the bestway to success inlife? I guess there isno particular way.But there must beone. Imagine yourchild asks you,“Daddy, which is the best way to succeedin life?” What would you say?I guess you will say, “Go to school,”
finish and klaar. You wouldn’t want toargue further. That is why our childrenare rudderless. They don’t know where togo, and what to do.They are just trapped in a Catch-22
situation.But there must be a way to success in
life. This Monday morning I woke upearly to unblock my nose. I went outsidefor fresh air.And guess what? I heard some noise -
boys and girls singing. It looks like theywere up the entire night. And they werecelebrating their feat. What a way tosuccess? I don’t think it is.But these fools think it is. I am sorry
to use the word fool. But at times you donot know how to describe people likethat. Surely they are not smart. Althoughthey think they are.And those coming after them are seeing
this. They are grinning from ear to ear.They think it is the best thing in theworld. And they are telling themselveswhen the time comes, they are going todo that.
Of course they are.Who is going to stopthem? No one. Whois stopping thesecurrently? No one.And the current onessaw this kind of
behaviour from the previous fools.And they don’t pause to ask the
question; “How are they living today?”How are the mad ones living today? No,
really, let the question be asked. Let usnot be afraid to ask the question.The trouble with stagnation is that
there is no freedom of expression.You are not allowed to ask. You are
expected to emulate. What if you do notlike it? What if you hate it?That’s the trouble. You can’t. If you do
you are out in the cold.Most people don’t want to be out in the
cold. They prefer to be in with the crowd.If the crowd is wrong, so be it. They willbe wrong too.“I am limitless!” said Sibusiso Vilani, a
mountaineer in a radio interview recent-ly. “Anything I want to achieve is in myhands.” How many of us can say thatabout ourselves?I bet not many. Most of us depend on
others. We see what they do, and do that.We don’t do what is according to us.Oh, well, Vilani is doing what is
according to him. That’s the way tosuccess. Do your own thing.Stay positive.

“Heart eating lover” nowup for sentencing after pleaSANDISO PHALISO
The Zimbabwean man who murdered his la-lleged ove rival and removed his heart be-fore eating it with “fork and knife” pleadedguilty at the Western Cape High Court andis now facing sentencing.
Andrew Chimboza (35) murdered Mbuy-iselo Manona because Manona was alleged-ly having an affair with Chimboza’s girl-friend, the court heard.
In a four-page plea, which was read outin court, Chimboza admitted that hestabbed Manona (62) to death in a fit of rageat the Gugulethu home of his girlfriend, No-monde Soloshe-Tshabalala, in June 10, lastyear.
He has been in custody since.The police officer who arrived first at the
scene Mlungisi Landule told the court hefound the Chimboza “eating raw meat (theheart) with a knife and fork laying besideshim”.
Landule said as he was inspecting theroom, Chimboza continued eating the “rawmeat” and “he was full of blood from hismouth downwards”.
The forensic pathology doctor, Ingram Al-lie, who examined the deceased body, toldthe court of the deceased injuries saying“the jaw was exposed and all the ribs werefractured on both sides”.
Allie said when the body of the deceasedwas presented to him “the heart was pre-sented separately in a plastic bag in pieces”.
In his plea explanation, Chimboza said onthe day in question he had gone to repairwindows at Soloshe-Tshabalala’s homewhen a jealous Manona attacked him.
“The deceased knocked me in the face and
accused me of sleeping with his woman. Irealised that he wanted to stab me.”
Chimboza said he then stabbed Manona.Mitigation of sentencing is currently un-
derway in the case.Sitting at the dock as Landule explained
to the court what he saw, Chimboza couldbe seen fidgeting with a nervous look on hisface.
Landule told the court that upon enteringone of the bedrooms, Chimboza was eatingwhat appeared to be raw meat while a blood-ied knife and fork were on the floor next tohim. He told the court Manona’s body wasin the same room.
It appeared as if he had cuts to the sideof his head and on his chest.
In his plea explanation, Chimboza says hekilled Manona after the man attacked himin a jealous rage, accusing him of sleepingwith his girlfriend.
Mbuyiselo Manona was killed.

Write to us Poorest neglected by newelite; there are alternativesThe ruling ANC elite does little for thepoorest of the poor.
Which leads me to believe that theANC is not honest, and only the PAC isthe alternative for the poorest of thepoor.
Public hospitals are poorly equipped,which still means that the ANC is nothonest, instead, the PAC is the alterna-tive for the poorest of the poor.
Public schools in the poor areas areneglected and understaffed so theygenerally produce poor results whichmeans the ANC is not honest and thePAC is the alternative choice for thepoorest of the poor. The three evils ofUnequality, poverty and unemploymentare a daily threat to stability in SouthAfrica. The poorest of the poor aregenerally guaranteed to remain poor;they have an alternative choice in thePAC. Our land and our natural resour-ces such as gold, diamond, copper,
platinum, iron, alluminium, coal,manganese, is still controlled by thewhite minority, twhich means the ANCis not honest and that the PAC is thealternative for the poorest of the poor.More prisons are built, that means ANCis not honest and the PAC is the alterna-tive for the poorest of the poor.
Only the ANC elite have access to thebest resources that means ANC is nothonest PAC is the alternative for thepoorest of the poor. PAC says poorpeople first and no empty promises. ThePAC says no to neocolonialism, neoliber-alism, neocapitalism and imperialism.PAC promotes Pan Africanism, Blackconsciousness, African nationalism,African scientific socialism and Africansocialist democracy.
PAC says political freedom withouteconomic power is no freedom

Food subsidies will help usIn times of hunger even the greatPharaoh introduced contingency plansthat were supposed to free his peoplefrom hunger.
That was long ago. The king sacrificedsome of his possessions to help hispeople. It was all done with limited tradeand resources.
Today millions of people in ourcountry go to bed without food.
The main reason is the unwillingnessof the state to provide a food subsidy.
Two raw materials are turned into
South Africans’ staple food, namelymealie-meal and wheat.
It’s about time we had food securitymeasures implemented by government.
The state’s principle should be to putpeople first.
The dignity of our people is at stake,as 37% of the population is unemployed.
A food subsidy will at least bring backhope to those who are really in need.
The majority of hungry people areAfricans.
A food subsidy will also enhance the
economy of the country in many ways. Itwill curb criminal activities and improvepeople’s health.
Government will spend less on health-care if people are well fed.
The list of benefits is endless!All men can’t work, but all men must
eat and therefore live.There’s a food subsidy in Dubai, a
country that’s richer than America.ZANE BANDLA

Skenjana could not have imagined thatshe would one day be the owner of a booming
business when she signed with KhayelitshaCraft Market as an employee, way back in2002.
She had so little knowledge of the art ofbeading, but with help of her employers shegrew to the level of mastering it.
She has also worked for Cape Craft and De-sign Institute where she underwent moretraining and also obtained a certificate forsewing.
“I then thought of starting my own busi-ness...I worked from my house in Makhaya,in 2008. I first trained a lady from my streetto help me and I employed her. It was noteasy when I started,” Skenjana shared.
She registered her business and soon or-ders started flowing in.
The former domestic worker has since
flown to Mexico, in North America, whereshe has sold her work.
“They loved our work and they bought it.My goal now is to train anyone who is inter-ested,” she added.
She also got orders from as far as Pretoria,Amagqirha and many more clients.
She makes tradi-tional necklaces,beaded ties, beadedpens, beaded mugs,key holders, ear-rings and manymore products.
Skenjana hassince trained someteachers to teachlearners at Nompu-
melelo Special School, in Gugulethu, Vuza-manzi Public Primary in Khayelitsha and al-so Litha Sewing Co-operative, also in Khaye-litsha. She said the business has helped herto raise her four children aged, 32, 21, 18 and15 whose father died in 2006. She shared thespace with Andrea Dondolo, actress andmanaging director of Township Talent, atLookout Hill.

There’s a message in his vibeMANDLA MAHASHE
Onweekdays he is known as amodest fellowwho commutes to work and back but onweekends a lyrical monster is unleashed on‘cyphers’ and performance stages.Andile Ntame, 22, aka Big Voice Biggy,
fromMarcusGarvey in Philippi, is a rapper.When one listens to his latest single
“KhawuthiNdibuze” that has been onheavyrotation on community stations it’s hard toimagine why he is called big voice.“It has nothing to do with the pitch of my
voice but rather the magnitude of the mes-sage I deliver.It’s about the issues that I bring forward
with my voice,” he explained to City Vision.One of the key messages he hopes to bring
across is that people living with albinismshouldn’t be boxed in one negative corner.“When people see me they have this nega-
tive perceptive that unfortunately is rife inour communities. Butwhen I take themicro-phone I blow all those perceptions away.I prove that I am good in something de-
spite the negative stigma i get in the commu-nity,” he said.He is currently working on his mixtape ti-
tled ‘Umlilo’in which features the likes ofLoydness and Madness, Axo and Manqoba.Biggy,who is part of ahiphopgroup called
Amagintsa with Loydness, began his careerin 2011 and labels his style of music as Bang-er.Big voice said he is inspired by another
popular hip-hop artist Zakwe, from KZN,
for his lyrics and authenticity.“He is original and he doesn’t talk about
a lifestyle that he doesn’t live. I admire ev-erything about him from his flow to his per-formances on stage. Collaborating with himis one of my biggest goals,” he said.He says thatwhathe enjoys themost about
being a perfoming artist is that it gives hima platform to change people’s minds.“I love how before I go on stage I’m a no-
body but after I showcase my talent the peo-ple who had no regard for me become myfans.I hope that throughmymusic I can change
the way people living with albinism areviewed in our communities,” he said.Follow him on his Facebook page: Big

Ntokozo Gospel Group’s music will nurture your soulMANDLA MAHASHE
Ntokozo Gospel Group has been gainingmany followers over the years as a result oftheir beautiful harmonies, but with theirlatest offering, they can only get even better.The group, which was established in 1998
in Butterworth, paid theMother City a visitrecently, and boy, did they wow gospel lov-ers with their offerings.The main culprit being their latest album
titledBekaniNanti Iwundluwhich capturedthe imagination of those lucky enough tohave caught the eight member group onstage.They performed in churches in Delft
Khayelitsha andHoutBay during their briefvisit.“The reception was amazing and we were
blessed with audiences that received uswarmly.
As a result some have requested that wereturn in the near future. That gave us anindication of how much they loved our mu-sic,” group member Ndabele Mtoto sharedwith City Vision.The group has released three traditional
gospel andworship albums over the 17 yearsof their existence.“Over the years we have grownmusically
and as a result of such growth we haveworked with some of the best people in themusic industry,” said Mtoto.The group’s latest albumwas produced by
well known music maker Sibusiso Mambawhile they collaboratedwithmembers of thepopular Ncandweni Spiritual group.The 12 track album is said to represent the
group’s growth and maturity in the musicindustry.The album is available at Bellstar Bell-
With lyrics about Cape Town suburbs andthe use of colloquial terms, international ar-tist Charl “Babyboy” Pilwan is celebratinghis hometown in his new single.While Babyboy was raised in Retreat, he
has spent the past 13 years between Chinaand America, where he works as a perfor-mer and promoter.He’s worked with some of the industry’s
biggest international acts like Chris Brown,Nelly and Ne-Yo and achieved considerablesuccesswith his ownmusic in countries likeEngland and Portugal, but now the singer isready to come home.Babyboy plans to do this by promoting his
music locally and creating a fan base, whichwill allow him to work in Cape Town again.He will be visiting the Mother City to pro-
mote his new single, Apple Green Dutsanwhich features Afrikaans rapper Die Bar-
heid and saxophonist Donveno Prins.“I wrote Apple Green Datsun, in just one
eveningabroadwhen Iwas incrediblyhome-sick,” Babyboy explains.He says he always knew the soundhewan-
ted for the song: “A full horn section witha vibrant Kaapse Klopse sound that evokedand brought to life good memories of CapeTown”.Babyboy met Die Barheid when the two
performed together on the CTV show, HipHopAvenue. As soonas they finished filminghe took Die Barheid straight to the studio tolet him listen to some of the new music hehas been working on.“The moment Die Barheid heard Apple
Green Datsun, we both knew, that was thetrack I would feature him on.”Babyboy rates Donveno as a consummate
professional and says he immediately un-derstood his vision when the two startedworking together.
“Onceyouhave experienced thebrillianceof Donveno you understand how he is inspi-red by the music and he came up with hissax solo on Apple Green Datsun in the mo-ment.“Although Babyboy has already performed
Apple Green Datsun to an audience at theV&A Waterfront Amphitheatre in Decem-ber, the song will get its official launch thisweekend.Babyboy will be at the African Drum Café
inElsies River on Saturday. Tickets cost R40at the door, but can also be booked on 079785 2233.He’ll also be at Mzoli’s from 15:00 on Sun-
day 8 February. Entrance is free as long asyou purchase meat at the venue.The song will be available on ITunes and
Babyboy says fans can also request AppleGreen Datsun on their favourite local radiostations. Since the song is for Cape Town, heplans to distribute the single at taxi ranks.
Charl “Babyboy” Pilwan’s new single is acelebration of all things Capetonion.

New road race planned for MayAnew road race launched in Cape Town thisweek is set to change the country’s athleticslandscape.Top road-running athletes and coaches
have called for more options in middle-dis-tance races to follow the example set by theFNB Cape Town 12 OneRun organisers.The inaugural 12km race carries a prize
purse of R300 000.The event, which will take place on May
17, has attracted elite middle- and long-dis-tance runners, such as Shanghai Interna-tional Marathon champion Stephen Mo-koka.Other accomplished athleteswhowill par-
ticipate includeElroyGelant,MapasekaMa-khanya and René Kalmer.Domestic athletes have been yearning for
something new, and renowned endurancecoaches Michael Seme and Jean Versterhavewelcomed the new event on theMotherCity’s road-running calendar.“The short format is not something new
in middle-distance running, but the goodthing about [OneRun] is it is run on flat tar,”Seme said during the launch of the race heldearlier this week.“And the kind of money they pay will
come in handy for athletes who are not inthe Opex programme – that is if they win onthe day,” he added.
The operational excellence programme,or Opex, is administered by the SA SportsConfederation and Olympic Committee.It offers medical, scientific and financial
support to high-potential sportsmen andwomen.“Longer races are boring, if you think of
10 000m events,” said Verster. “But this onebrings together the guys who normally raceon the track.It is a fast and flat course and I expect some
good times on the day,” he added.This is the year of the IAAF World Cham-
pionships and strong contenders plan to usethe OneRun race to focus on building speed,as it will be run on a flat course in the citycentre.“It is going to be a good personal experi-
ence for me because the race won’t disruptmy trainingprogramme,” saidMokoka,whois targeting qualification in the 10 000m attheWorld Championships inBeijing, China,in August.“Shorter races are also good for the devel-
opment of athletes,” he added.Gauteng Marathon champion Makhanya
said: “It’s a great idea because these typesof races are mostly in other countries.“It’s a new challenge for me to take on the
OneRun as a fun race and it is a must runfor everyone.”
OneRun will follow a few weeks after theSA Senior Track and Field Championshipsin Stellenbosch, Western Cape in April.The organisers said negotiations were un-
derway to include top international runnersand they expected to attract 15 000 entries.Other key athletics events to watch over
the next fewmonths include: The 12th annu-al JPMorgan Corporate Challenge, which isexpecting 13 000 entrants.The 5.6km road race will start and finish
at The Wanderers Club in Johannesburg on
March 26.The Sasol Marathon on Saturday, when
athletes from around the country will con-verge at the DP de Villiers Stadium in Sasol-burg.The event includes 42km, 21km and 10km
races, as well as a 4.9km fun run.Pre-entries for the first two races closed
yesterday but late entrieswill still be accept-ed at the stadium on race day from 4.30am

Budding boxers do battleZILA MKONTO
Young boxers fromaccross the townshipswill paint Makhaza red, literally speak-ing, next Saturday, ValentinesDay, whenthey participate in an amateur tourna-ment staged by the Grassroots BoxingAcademy (GBA) at the Desmond TutuHall from 10am.GBA head coach Jongi Kanko said all
his chargeswere ready to show their com-munity and opponets what they aremadeof.“My boxers have been waiting for this
moment, and I can see from their effortsthat they are ready to rumble,” saidJongi.Training along them is the club’s only
professional boxer Myolisi Xayo whohelps motivate them and keep them fo-cussed.“We have future champions here and I
think given proper guidance like ourcoach is giving them they will develop in-to to class,” said Myolisi.But if the lads from Makhaza think it’s
going going to be “lovey dovey stuff” theyare mistaken because top township clubslike Luvuyo, Umanyano and Mfulenihave vowed to send in strong boxers tothe tournament.Jongi believes his stars Thulani Mah-
lombe, Thobela Breakfast,Lwazi Sidodo,Sean Makamola, Darlington Mohauleand Lady Lavisa Matiwane will come outvictorious.“This is my core team and they mean
business,” he warned.He said the club was using the tourna-
ment to add its voice to the fight againstcrime and other societal problems likedrinking and smoking amongst theyouth.“We hope to attract more youths into
the gym and involve their parents in thesport. On Saturdays we have classeswhere various volunteers come out andhelp boxers with their school work,” hesaid.Admission fee will be R5 and proceeds
wll be used to help the academy’s work.Call Jongi on 0616575564.
