PHOTO: CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL DANCING IN THE MOTHER CITY WITNESS: “He(Chimbodza) was eating raw meat, with a knife and fork beside him” ‘Heart eater’ up for jail SANDISO PHALISO The Zimbabwean man who murdered his la- lleged love rival and removed his heart be- fore eating it with “fork and knife” pleaded guilty at the Western Cape High Court and is now facing sentencing. Andrew Chimboza (35) murdered Mbuyis- elo Manona because Manona was allegedly having an affair with Chimboza’s girlfriend, the court heard. In a four-page plea, which was read out in court, Chimboza admitted that he stabbed Manona (62) to death in a fit of rage at the Gugulethu home of his girlfriend, Nomonde Soloshe-Tshabalala,on June 10, last year. He has been in custody since. The police officer who arrived first at the scene Mlungisi Landule told the court he found the Chimboza “eating raw meat (the heart) with a knife and fork laying besides him”. Landule said as he was inspecting the room, Chimboza continued eating the “raw meat” and “he was full of blood from his mouth downwards”. The forensic pathology doctor, Ingram Al- lie, who examined the deceased body, told the court of the deceased injuries saying “the jaw was exposed and all the ribs were fractured on both sides”. Allie said when the body of the deceased was presented to him “the heart was pre- sented separately in a plastic bag in pieces”. In his plea explanation, Chimboza said on the day in question he had gone to repair windows at Soloshe-Tshabalala’s home when a jealous Manona attacked him. “The deceased knocked me in the face and accused me of sleeping with his woman. I re- alised 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 could be seen fidgeting with a nervous look on his face. Landule told the court that upon entering one of the bedrooms, Chimboza was eating what appeared to be raw meat while a blood- ied knife and fork were on the floor next to him. He told the court Manona’s body was in the same room. It appeared as if he had cuts to the side of his head and on his chest. In his plea explanation, Chimboza says he killed Manona after the man attacked him in a jealous rage, accusing him of sleeping with his girlfriend.

LAUGHING WITHlunga adam
My uncle is the best“You’ve got an uncle in the furniturebusiness... Joshua Doore,” so says afamiliar TV advert.This week I want to touch on the kind
of relationship your favourite columnistenjoys with his uncle; a topic that I amsure will resonate with most of you.
In many families, there will always bethat one member who is a character andat most times it happens to be an uncle.In the case of my uncle and me, wehappen to have two things in common –a sense of humour second to none and anoticeable liking for the waters ofimmortality. Whenever time allows, wewill pop in at our favourite wateringhole for two-nyana and, believe me,those are often classic moments.
At every given opportunity he willpoke fun at me.I remember during the festive season
he saw me coming in wearing not only ababalaazed face but the same clothes Ihad been wearing the previous day.Soon he sent me an SMS, saying: “Aphakwa Thandi akungenwa nge uniform,especially at your age (re: the redT-shirt).”
Need I tell you, also, that textingseems to be his favourite hobby. Hesimply revels in it. He will be sitting infront of me but, instead of just relayingthe message verbally, he will write a fewwords on his mobile phone and pass iton to me. Sometimes it does not matterif 10 pairs of hands touch the phonebefore it reaches me, so long as I get themessage. On one such occasion I wassitting next to some guy.Space was an issue, so we sat tight
against each other, and he then wrote:“Uyilumkele le chap ihleli ecalenikwakho, yi gay.” When I stood up tolook for somewhere else to sit, he justcould not hide his smile, before sayingthat he was just joking.
Somehow, he also seems to think Iknow every girl in Lower Crossroads,for he would be asking me: “Mtshana,uyamazi la mntana?”The other time he saw me sitting and
chatting to a beautiful girl and then heasked, via the phone of course: “Is she?”Just last week I was sitting on one sideof the table with a friend, while he saton the other side just in front of us withmy gf.
So my friend and I were sharing jokesand started laughing at the top of ourvoices. A short while later we heard myuncle and my chick bursting intolaughter. When I asked what they werelaughing at, his response was that theywere merely trying to show us that theycould laugh just as loud.Through our secret conversations he
also lets me into the world of others. Iremember how, after one girl came tohug me, I heard a beep on my cheapcellphone. It was a text from him (whoelse?), saying: “I don’t care how youknow that girl. Just stay away fromher.” The other time he showed me aguy who was busy on his tablet andremarked: “Uyabona ke la mjita, uyat-handa ukukhupha la phone yakhe xaebona abantu.” I must say whenever Isee the chap and his phone, I laughsilently. Before I go, I must mention thisvery funny story. This past weekend heintroduced me to a friend of his, whosename is Yure. I immediately asked him:“Zingaphi iiyure enizakuzichitha apha?”This put him in an awkward position, infront of his beloved friend, who is wayolder than me.
Then on Monday morning he sent anSMS that said: “Ndiyacinga ukuba yihour yokuba kuphangelwe.”Forget the uncle in the furniture
business. This is thee uncle. At any hourof the day, he will make you laugh.
TECHOLOGY: School community delighted after donation of computers for the learners
Catching up with the rest in techMANDLA MAHASHE
Gone are the days where parents had to taketheir children away from Hlengisa JuniorSecondary in order to get good education.That was the message of the day when the
school received 16 personal computers fromOld Mutual last Friday.The school had been struggling to source
funds to upgrade their old PCs.“The computers we had previously were
quite old and didn’t have the programmes tohelp improve the learning process like thesenew ones.principal Zamuxolo Petros shared: “We
have been knocking on doors for assistance,and we are only happy that Old Mutualopened their doors for us,”.He said that the computers were going to
be pivotal in their efforts to produce betterresults for pupils.“At this school we have a problem with
maths and we are pleased with the arrivalof these computers as they have pro-grammes that will make learning mathe-matics much easier.
We have relationships with other schoolsso now we can use the information we re-ceive from them and practice at our ownlabs,” said Petros.He expressed his gratitude to Old Mutual
for the donation, and also paid specialthanks to regional director of groupschemes, Vuyo Boysie who was determinedto oversaw the success of the initiative.Speaking during the handover ceremony
held at the schools computer laboratory,Boysie alluded to the company’s stance oneducation and community development asone of the major drivers of this initiative.He encouraged the pupils to make use of
the facilities afforded to them.“I knowmany of you believe that you have
it bad but many people had it worse in theolden days.Some of the people that made it today had
to go to school without shoes but you guyshave such facilities to assist so that you cansucceed,” he shared.He added that it would be disappointing
to learn that in a few months the PCs wereredundant and were laid to waste.

Brighter future for tots after upgradeMBONGISENI MASEKO
Heady days are over for the staff and chil-dren at Lehlonolo Pre-school in Europe, aft-er they premises were given a face-lift cour-tesy of an international drug company.
Martha Makura, head of the creeche, saidthe surprise could not have come at a bettertime, 27 years to the day she started herschool.
The material used to build the school hasnow been upgraded from the old shacks tonew ones built with Ajuga fire-resistant fi-bres.
Lehlohonolo Pre-School, which is alsoknown as Cipla Foundation’s Early Child-hood Development (ECD) Campus, deservedthe upgrades, if only because the informalsettlement of Europe, like many others, isnotorious for fires in summer months andbiting colds in the months of winter.
Ajuga, an initiative launched in February2013 by the Cipla Foundation, sees state ofthe art, fire-resistant structures deployed inareas that have the greatest risk for thesefires, thus putting the lives of many toddlersat risk.
But with the new structural up-grade,such risks will be a thing of the past.
The centre, the first of its kind in the prov-ince to be upgraded, is set to benefit at least
100 children , and will be run in partnershipwith the Ikamva Labantu Charitable Trust,which is a Non Governmental Organisation(NGO) that supports township pre-schoolsin and around the city.
The trust will be responsible for oversee-ing the running of the campus.
David Grier, Cipla Foundation’s Manag-ing Trustee, said the initiative will not onlybenefit the children, but also become an op-portunity for employment to women fromthe community to run the crèche.
Grier said investing in the early stages ofchildren’s development is a highly expen-sive process that involves collaboration be-tween many parties including Government,NGOs and private investors.
“We have recognised that we needed tocreate a more cost-efficient solution that ac-tually places the needs of the children at thecentre of the design,” he said.
He also said Ajuga ECD project workedtowards fulfilling the needs of the most vul-nerable members of society by providing aplace that provides not only quality educa-tion but sustainable nutrition, a safe envi-ronment and hygienic sanitation facilities.
Makura said, at first, she did not believetheir(Cipla) promises of building the cam-pus after they visited the creche during aMandela Day, celebration about two years
ago.“I did not evenwant them to take pictures,
in the misguided belief that it was scam touse the pictures for ntheir own to fundrais-ing purposes,”she shared.
But come back they did and today thecreeche boasts a new safe structure.
“When the first truck came (with buildingmaterial) I cried, but it was tears of joy. Iwould like to thank Cipla and everyone whoworked very hard at upgrading our creche,”Makura offered.
She promised that she and her staff willnot disappoint .
“We will turn our campus into a Model Cinstitutions,” she joked.
She said she had had to use her bownfunds and dig deep into her pockets to startthe school./
Being an outsider, she alluded to the factthat some commuity members did not takekindly to her when announced plans to startthe creeche.
Councillor Relene Arendse, ChairpersonPortfolio Committee Social Developmentand Early Childhood Development for CityofCapeTown, said theywelcome such initia-tives and that theywill assist crèches to reg-ister and also meet the requirements forsuch projects. Grier said based on the suc-cess at Lehlohonolo, they were now ready toroll out the project to other areas.
IN THE SWING: Martha Makura, the founder of Lehlohonolo Pre-School, was happy Cipla fullfilledits promise to make an upgrade to the centre, Europe informal settlement, on Thursday.

Creche burgled thrice in this new yearMBONGISENI MASEKO
Nolungile Educare Centre has already suf-fered a spate of break-ins, barely a nmonthinto the new year.Oddly, the second break-in took place
while they were busy with fixing the dama-ges suffered in the first two burglaries.The daily operations at the centre- which
operates from Elukhanyisweni CommunityCentre, in NY74, Gugulethu, were brought
to a screechinghalt after the centrewas bur-gled for the third time since the beginningof the year.Principal Nontsikelelo Dunywa said she
was shocked to find a mess when she cameto open for workers who were there to re-place copper cables which were stolen dur-ing a burglary which took place about threeweeks ago.Dunywa said the string of burglaries has
dealt them a blinding blow, because, instead
of empowering the young ones, they have toscramble for resources first.“It will be very hard difficult for us to re-
place the stuff. We are still struggling to re-place the things that were stolen last year,”she said.Among other things that the thugs nor-
mally go for are the faxmachine, computers,heaters, blankets, mattresses, kettlse, grad-uation gowns and receipts.The stolen items were in Dunywa’s office.
The second burglary left toilets for boysnot working as copper cables were stolen.The centre, which looks after about 150
children during the day, suffered three bur-glaries last year alone and there were otherreported burglaries in the previous years.“We hired a security guard last year, but
he had to stop working, because the centrebelongs to the city, we are busy following aproper procedure regardinghaving a securi-ty personnel here,” Dunywa said.

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 ofbenefits is endless! All men can’t work,but all men must eat and therefore live.There’s a food subsidy in Dubai, acountry that’s richer than America.

Chantal finally laidto rest with dignityTIYESE JERANJI
FAMILY and friends ofChantal Abel (28) fromBrowns Farm in Philip-pi, breathed a collectivesigh of relief after herbody was laid to rest,weeks after they pleadedwith the public to helpthem financially.
Abel had died of TB, and herbody lay at the mortuary for atime, as her family struggled toraise enough funds for her fu-neral.
They were even advised tocremate her at one stage, butculture prevented them fromdoing so.
Which was why they sentaout a clarion call for help.
Their pleas for help evenmade their way to the localnewspapers.
Monica Mahlanyana, a busi-nesswoman and funeral direct-or, saw their pleas for help andpromptly jumped into action.
Mahlanyana is the owner ofAvuyile Funeral Services , andshe felt obliged to help the fami-ly in their time of distress.
Thus Abel was laid to rest atthe Delft Cemetery on Saturday.
Mahlanyana basically car-ried the funeral expenses on hershoulders, as she supplied thecoffin, transportation and the ,tent.
She said when she saw thatthe corpse was going to be cre-mated, she felt a chill down her
spine.The following day she got into
touch with the family and toldthem that she was going to helpthem with the funeral.
“I wasn’t going to forgive my-self if her body had been burnt,after I read of their plight.
“I’m happy that I was there tohelp the family in their time ofneed,” she offered.
Mahlanyana said she wentout on a limb to make Abel’s fu-neral special.
“Knowing that I did the bestI could and made the family feelspecial, makes me sleep betterat night,” said Mahlanyana.
Belinda Abel, a family mem-ber said it was like a dream.“The undertaker made us feel sospecial.
Everything was done up tostandard we didn’t feel like wecouldn’t afford.
She didn’t just come out withcheap things but the best for us.
May she be blessed for whatshe did because without herhelp we couldn’t have affordedany of that,” said Abel.

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 has grown in leaps and bounds with their new album testament to that.PHOTO: NGG
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.
