“Conditions are but the outward manifes-tation of thought.”So said Venice Bloodworth.What are conditions? Conditions are
your life. It is what you experience. It isthat which is created by your thoughts.But is it true?Have you created these conditions? Is
what you are experiencing, what youcreated?Most would tend to disagree. They
would say they did not create what theyare experiencing.They don’t like what they are experi-
encing or what they are experiencing islousy.They want to do better than that which
they are experiencing.Some would say what they are experi-
encing was imposed on them. But bywhom?They don’t know, but they did not ask
for it. If it were by them, they wouldprefer something better.These are people who don’t believe
conditions are as the result of thought.We have to be scientific here.We’ve got to think in a crooked way.Yeah, that’s right.For a long time we have been lazy. We
have been blaming others for our situa-tion.And as long as we continue that way,
nothing will change.
We will continue to experience thesame conditions, which is tough luck.We do not want to experience these
conditions. It is not nice.But what is nice? What is nice is the
life we want to experience.And what kind of life do we want to
experience? This bogs down to individu-als. We have to take responsibility. Noone should tell us how to live or whatkind of life we ought to experience.We should decide that ourselves. But do
we? Are we doing that all the time? No,we are not. We are playing a game of hitand miss. It depends on luck, we say. Ifyou are lucky, you are on.If you are not, hard luck. I have been
experiencing something of a miracleunfolding before my eyes. Some guy Iknow has been living his life in a differ-ent way. Before he had been lazy.Before he had been waiting for his
kam-kam. If it is not there, he is makingcredits all over the show. And when it isthere, he blows it.After a day or two, he is back to square
one – broke.And he goes around making a nuisance
of himself, if not annoying people. Peopleknow him and his ways. They havestopped giving him credits. To feed hishabits, which are cigarettes, he collectscans and sells it.This man’s life has changed. Thought
has come into him. It is not a big change,but you can see what happens when aman thinks for himself. Then thingshappen. Imagine what could happen if hethought bigger...Stay positive.

Harare: Man behind bars for two decades
Cop’s tenacityfinally pays offSPINDOG JW MOTSAMAI
Justice prevailed when LundiMgayi was sentenced to 20years in prison at the Khay-elitshaMagistrate’s Court lastweek.
The 27-year-old was foundguilty of fatally stabbing hismother on 10 November 2012.
But the case was mysteri-ously struck off the court rollafter a few appearances incourt.
This did not sit well with theinvestigating officer.
Detective-Constable Kh-anyiso Nyudwana of Hararepolice fought hard to take thecase back to court.
“I vowed to work hard andmake sure that the law takesits course,” Nyudwana said.
On that fateful day, the po-lice were called to attend to agruesome scene at a house in Allan BoesakStreet in Mandela Park, where Mgayi’smother was found with multiple stabwounds.
Mgayi had locked his mother inside thehouse where he stabbed her to death.
The incident was witnessed by residentswho, when they heard the screams, tried torescue her but could not gain access to thehouse. He was immediately arrested andcharged with murder.
But after the case was struck off the courtroll, Nyudwana fought hard for the case’srevival.
“After I traced the suspect, he was re-ar-rested and was remanded in custody untilhis sentencing last week. He was sentenced
to 20 years in prison,” he said.Nyudwana added he still has “mixed feel-
ings about the conviction.”He said the Mgayi was also found guilty
of fatally stabbing his sister in 2011, butwashanded a suspended sentence.
“For me, the victim and her relatives jus-tice has prevailed and there was no sus-pended sentence this time around,” Nyud-wana said.
Harare police station commander TJRaboliba hailed Nyudwana as a “dedicatedpoliceman who wants justices for all”.
“His hardwork finally paid off andwe areproud of Nyudwana. He worked tirelesslyto make sure that the law takes its courseand justice is served,” said Raboliba.

What happened to our child? Tywaku family members Ayanda, Nobathembu and Richard want toknow how Bukhosibethu Tywaku (18) drowned at a matric study camp. PHOTO: LINDILE MBONTSI
Journos kickedout of serviceMBONGISENI MASEKO
The Luhlaza High School principal, Mano-no Makhaphela, ordered City Vision jour-nalist to leave the school during the memo-rial service for two drowned learners onThursday.
Mbongiseni Maseko was called by thefamily of the late Bukhosibethu Tywaku,18, one of the drowned learners, to cover thememorial service held at the school hall.
Bukhosibethu and Odwa Macuphedrowned in a pool while attending a matriccamp at Strandfontein three weeks ago.
Maseko and two of his colleagues MandlaMahashe and Mthakazi Makalima, had toleave after the principal became hostile or-dering them out.
He sent a teacher to call Maseko, who wasbusy taking pictures soon after the familyarrived.
He then walked him out of the hall andonce they were outside the principal
“pushed me on the back,” Maseko said.“Who are you? I do not want you here in
the school. You must leave and do not goback to the hall otherwise I will force youto leave. This is a sensitive matter,” Ma-khaphela said.
Maseko made it clear to him that he wasthere to do his job and that he was calledby Tywaku’s family.
City Vision team then decided to leave.City Vision reported about the story of
drowned learners where Richard Tywaku,the father of Bukhosibethu, blamed theprincipal for poor management which leadto the incident.
Tywaku said the principal was “responsi-ble” for the death of the learners.
Nobathembu Tywaku, the sister ofBukhosibethu, contacted Maseko after thememorial service and said she was not hap-py about the manner in which it was con-ducted. She said that was “not a memorialservice.”
One man’s dirt is another man’s business.This is fast proving to be true for NkomishLaundry Service (NLS) that started operat-ing only two years ago.
NLS managing director Mzoxolo Kuttaannounced that they have extended theirbusiness to cater for the people of Harareand surrounding areas.
“We opened a new shop at the Hararebusines centre because we saw people weretravelling long distances from Kuyasa, Ma-
khaza and Mandela Park - we have taken thebusiness closer to their homes now,”saidKutta.
Kutta started Nkomshish Laundry Serv-ices in February last year.
“We saw a need in the community andstarted slowly by offering our services tosports clubs and schools. Now everyone inKhayelitsha knows about our services,”Kutta said.
He attributed his business’ success to thefact that people who work are too busy togive their washing 100% attention.
“We know our people are busy and havingto keep an eye on your washing while wait-ing for it to dry is an added burden. We aredoing our best to keep them happy,” he toldCity Vision.
And the business has boasted with scoresof happy clients since its establishment.
As a result of his growing business Kuttatook a “tough decision” and resigned from
his job at the City of Cape Town’s social de-velopment department.
“I felt I was not giving my businessenough attention – now my focus has shiftedand grown. I will make this a brand namein the townships,” Kutta, who has been vis-iting business forums and workshops tobroaden his scope, said.
He said next week he will be attending theEkasi Entrepreneur Conference to markethis service.
Thamsanqa Kutta of Nkomishish Laun-dry Services believes many of you do nothave time to wash your clothes and he offershis hand.
NLS offers a bulk laundry service that canbenefit schools, sports clubs and individu-als.
If you are finding that washing is slowingyour life down, give Kutta a tinkle on 078789 2857 and he will leave your clothing andmaterial healthy and smart.

Growing entrepreneurschances of successThree struggling entrepreneurs recentlyshared their stories of how an organisationfocusing on entrepreneurship helped themgrow their businesses.BusinessBridgeCEOTomParrybelieves
the success rate of the programme is as aresult of a different approach to businessand entrepreneurship training. The organi-sation trains people in communities.It works in Khayelitsha, Philippi and
Mitchell’s Plain. The aim of BusinessBridge is to tackle unemployment, povertyand provide high quality education.“We have trained 900 entrepreneurs and
have started training another 250 people.One of the best outcomes is a woman who,after the trainingwas been able to bring herchildren to love her more because she cannow look after them,” Parry said.“She also now employs five other women
and she is training them to run their ownbusinesses in the future.”He further said that it was not easy when
they first introduced the concept in SouthAfrica, but that it has had a tremendous im-pact in communities.Thumi Kgaphale, owner of Bob Masters
Salon in Khayelitsha, said that he attended
a sales course at Business Bridge. Thecourse, he said, has changed the way heruns his business.“Before I had a hand-to-mouth existence,
but I have learnt to track my expenseswhichmade ahuge impact inmybusiness,”he said.Mitchell’s Plain resident Melton Oppelt,
who has operated a taxi business for 20years, said: “Business Bridge is a brilliantinitiative. It is important that you knowhow to manage your business.”Dr. Mike Herrington, one of the speakers
at the event, also said that small businessexcessively contribute to the economy.“Theybring innovationand change.With
the necessary training, failure of business-es diminishes and this is where BusinessBridge plays such an important role,” Her-rington said.DrLauraPoswel of theAbdul Latif Pover-
ty Action Lab Africa, who researched theimpact of the work of Business Bridge, saidthat they focus on programmeswhichmakean impact.“We identified Business Bridge as a key
intervention which could reduce povertyand unemployment,” she said.

Young woman ploughs back in a different wayNQWENELWA JOBELA
It takes a village to build a better future forthe today’s youth.AndLungelwa “Lungi” Tuhas started giv-
ing to those in need, teaching the communi-ty that you do not have to be rich to makea difference.“I come from an underprivileged family –
my mother is a domestic worker and raisedtriplets and our younger sister. She madethe most with the little she had,” she said.“We always had children living with us;
my mother always opened our home forthose in need.”The 25 year old has a passion for working
with children. She heard a cry for help fromyouths in her community and took up thecause.In January she attended the Went to Afri-
ca Jam Youth Camp in Simon’s Town andnoticed a boy sitting onhis own. She said shecould see the hurt and the anger on his faceand went over to hug him.“He cried and said he didn’t know why he
did drugs and committed crimes, but he
wanted to stop,” Lungi said.“My family life led to me always wanting
to help others. My siblings and I are thesame; we live to impact people’s lives ratherthan impress other people.”This year this triplets, Lungi and her
brothers Lunga and Lungisa , celebratedtheir birthday at Bathandwa Children’sHome in Makhaya.“I remember sharing the idea with some
friends; they said I was crazy, but I knew itwould be fine. I don’t earn a lot, but with thelittle I have I wanted to make a difference.My friends can afford drinks and food them-selves, so I decided to give back to those whocan’t afford it,” she says.“It was a beautiful, fun and emotional day.
After the event, I felt that my heart was atpeace.”Nothing excites Lungi more than being
able to wipe someone’ s tears and replace itwith a smile – especially a child’s smile.“Children appreciate whatever you do for
them. You do not need to give them money– all you need to but give them is love anda little bit of your time,” she said. Lungelwa “Lungi” Tu with youths from her community.
Final examinationis not the finish lineIt is that time of the year when the sunseems to rise too early; the days are longand warm; and the sun sets at 20:00.The promise of summer is upon us.It is a time of relief for those of us less
fortunate, with limited shelter to call ahome.Those of us who appreciated the respite
from the cutting winter chill and rain ofthe Cape... at least for the next threemonths or so.However, it is also a time of anxiety,
fear and insecurity coupled by a sense ofbeing overwhelmed for others.To some, the year seemed to fly by so
fast that they do not feel adequatelyprepared for one of the most life chang-ing experiences of their lives – matricand umeluko.It is a time when those writing matric
examinations look back at the journeythey have travelled; the valleys and thehills they have climbed; the momentswhen they nearly gave up; the strugglesto pay the school fees when their parentslost their jobs; enduring a lesson in classon a cold winters day on an emptystomach; and waking up with the birds totravel to faraway schools because theirparents want the best for them.It is worth looking back, as some gave
up on this journey as a results of thesefactors.Think back on all those people who
were in your class in creche and Grade 1.Where are they?You have persevered and endured. You
had determination and were focused.The gang wars, taxi wars, service
delivery protests, shack fires, demolitionhomes, muggings and the boys forcingthemselves on you has not broken yourspirit.You have taken it in your stride. In
fact, you have soared above it all becauseyou know where you want to be in life.The matric exams won’t stop you. You
have overcome bigger challenges in life.This is even more true for those who,
immediately after the exams, will enter anew phase in life.Umeluko is a right of passage – a
transition from childhood to adulthoodand a phase which indicates that anindividual is ready to serve his communi-ty and nation, ready to contribute to thenurturing and guidance, and providedirection to the generation after him.This is umeluko.It is not about age.It is not about
ukubuyisa yonke lemigido ubuyikhupha. Itis not about showing the world howextravagant your ceremony can be.It is about appreciating how far your
offspring has come, celebrating your roleas parent in the nurturing, guidance andraising a young man who is ready tocontribute to the community, society andthe world.It is a moment to be proud of – as a
young person for you have come far. Alsotake a moment to reflect on you life’swork as a parent.As a community, we are fully behind
you as future leaders.It would be a gesture of affirmation of
our pride in you if all the churches andplaces of worship would sent aside aSunday of the month to bless all thosewho will be or are writing exams, as wellas those who are preparing to move on tothe next phase in their lives.We are proud of them as they are the

Harmony FC was crowned under 15 champs after a tough season. Harmony FC under13 team also basked in their own glory.
Langa football clubs end season on a highIt was a busy weekend for Langa Local Foot-ball Association – a weekend which saw athedecider andaweekendwhichwas soughta champion.In the juniors section , Harmony Football
Club was crowned champions of under-13and under-15 leagues, despite this being the
club’s first year of existence. They showeda great hunger than the other teams.The senior sectionwaswon by Citizen FC,
who played to a goalless draw in their lastgame.Citizens were the defending champions
and will now participate in the SAFA Cape
Town regional play-offs. They stand achance to play in the third division, the SABLeague if they win all their games.Langa LFA chairperson Eric Gum
summed up his feelings about the season.“It was a great feeling to see the teams
fighting for the league on the last day,” Gum
said.“it shows that there’s healthy competition
among our teams.”He also wished Citizen FC all the best for
their upcoming play-offs.The play offs will start on the first week

Rowan in demandSupersport United goalkeeper Ronwen Wil-liams is emerging as a high-profile target forbothKaizerChiefs andOrlandoPirates,whocould find themselves in a pricey tug of warfor the player.Officials and agents say Williams is the
top target forOrlandoPirates to replace Sen-zoMeyiwa, tragicallykilled inabotched rob-bery last week in a dastardly deed thatshocked the country. Pirates would only beable to move for the 22-year-old Williams inthe January transfer window, while Chiefswill know then about the future of their first-choice keeper Itumeleng Khune.
Khune has been linked with a possiblemove toMamelodi Sundowns as his contractwith Chiefs heads to a close in July nextyear. Khune (27) has been in talks withChiefs, who are keen to tie him down to alengthy contract that will keep him at theclub, but if no deal is done by the end of theyear then he is allowed, in terms of PremierSoccer League regulations, to sign a pre-con-tact for next season with another club.
Sundowns’ ability to payastronomical sal-aries, way above the means of the rest of thePSL teams, means Khune could be temptedinto a move across the Jukskei River just asprevious Chiefs No 1 Brian Baloyi was 10years ago in what was then a shock switchof allegiance.IfKhunegoes toSundowns, as is beingpre-
dicted, then Williams is likely to also beChiefs’ top choice as a replacement. It will
then allow SuperSport the benefit of a possi-ble tug of war for the services of their goal-keeper which could net the club a handsometransfer fee.Pirates have a close relationship with Su-
perSport and have bought from them play-ers likeDaineKlate,ThandaniNtshumaleyoand Kermit Erasmus in recent years.Williams,whohaswon twoBafanaBafana
caps this year, has made a strong impactsince his professional debut as a teenager inthe 2010-11 season. Earlier this year hetrained at Bundesliga club Hannover ‘96 inGermany.

Khayelitsha BMXers showtheir mettle in AfricaAnita Zenani, the only girl in the four-mem-ber BMX team of Khayelitsha’s VelokhayaCycling Club, brought back a bronze medalfrom theAfrican andSouthAfrican champi-onships last weekend.The 16 year old said: “Even though I was
competing in a division higher than I amsupposed to, I did very well. In the South Af-rican Championships, I managed to getfourth spot, while I came third and won abronze medal in the African Champion-ships.”She believes she will be better equipped
to compete in the division next year. “By thetime my counterparts get to the division,this experience will help me claim thatnumber one spot. I just need to work veryhard for the championships next year.”Bayanda Ganyaza (16) had bruises to
show for his efforts. “I qualified for the fi-nals, having come number one in my heat,but my bike broke and I couldn’t catch upto the rest in the finals,” he said.“In the African Champs, I fell when two
riders hit my bike and couldn’t finish therace.”Team captain Wanga Moshani (16), who
was racing in the same division asGanyaza,said: “I did not qualify for the finals becauseI messed up my start. In the African Cham-pionships, wewere both targets of other rid-ers. They succeeded in ending our race be-fore we finished. I learnt that I must workwithmy teammate, becausewe couldn’t exe-cute our strategy which was to protect eachother so that one of us could win the race.”
Coach Thembinkosi Sosiba was happywith his team’s achievements, did despitethese problems.“My teamwas hot,” said Sosiba. “I’m hap-
py with their performance. The teams theyfaced have better resources, but we put upa good fight.”
