Notaxi’s my name; I come in peaceToot-toot, hooting,screeching tyres,vroom-vroom, carrevving, cuttingand straddlinglanes, stopping inthe middle of theroad, not indicatingwhen turning orstopping...brake
lights NOT work-ing!
Blaring music,and swearing...If allthis is familiar toyou, you must havemet me.
My name isNotaxi, that’s it, ataxi driver.
Traffic cops areobsessed with me,if only to issuetickets every day.
Police pounce onme for negligentdriving, motoristshate me for incon-siderate andhazardous driving,
passengers love me,or so I would liketo believe.
Call me notoriousor famous –everyone knowsme, they call me bymy name.
I drive a taxi,and hey, I’m damn
good at it, dude.Let me tell you a
bit about my life.I won’t bore you
with the pastexperiences thatlanded me thiskind of job, sufficeto say my name isNotaxi and I’m a
taxi driver.My day starts at
03:30 when I wakeup, I rush for thefirst batch ofcommuters in thetaxi rank who arerushing for thefirst 04:20 train.
Some either comevery late to thetaxi rank or thetaxi isn’t full ontime.
Then theybarrage me with allsorts of words like“drive fast, driver,or we’ll be late,”.
Or “we’ll missthe train, we can’tafford anotherwarning for beinglate at work”.
Then the wordsof my elementaryteacher ring in myhead: “The custom-er is always right”.
This prompts meto drive like alunatic.
Unlike most ofyou who arereading this letter,I haven’t got thebenefits andluxuries of perma-nent employment.
I don’t have astraight salary, asthis industry iscommission-based.
I have to make alot of trips if I needto put food on thetable for my kids.For every R100 thatI bring to theowner, I’ll probablyget R30.
At times I exceedthe speed limit anddrive on the yellowline because myboss needs themoney to pay off
the instalments onthe taxi I’mdriving.
There are noretirement annui-ties, ProvidentFund or PensionFund, or even theUIF.
My corporate lineis from hand tomouth, finish enklaar.
Next time youcruise with yourluxury car to yoursecured permanentworkplace, pleasespare a thought forme.
My day ends at21:30 every night. Idon’t usually meanto be rude to you,but it happens asyou sometimesstand in my way.
Just like you, Ihave a family toprovide for, bills topay and futureambitions.
I had a name anda surname from myparents but that allchanged the day Istarted doing thisjob.
Now everybodycalls me Notaxi.How things change.
If one of us doessomething wrong,we all shoulder theblame.
We are likebrothers, united,named and labelledunder the samename.
Mind you, wecome from diversebackgrounds, withdifferent levels ofeducation; some ofus are humble bynature, some
talkative, somelaid-back andrespectful, butwhen we get here,they tarnish uswith the samebrush.
I don’t go all outto make people’slives a living hell.
I don’t intend togive traffic cops ahorrid time.
Please under-stand my predica-ment. I’m astranger to my ownkids(because of theearly morning riseand late shifts), thesame way I’m astranger to you.
I don’t intend toinjure any motor-ists or my passen-gers because Imight also getinjured along theway.
I do this becauseI have no alterna-tive.
Accidents dohappen, and theseare not caused byus alone.
Other road users,including pedestri-ans and animals,do cause mishaps.This is the only jobmost of us havedone all our lives.
We want to do itexpediently andeffectively as wepossibly can, butwe need you tounderstand.
We have timeconstraints andmany obligations. Idon’t expect you tomove out of theroad the same wayyou do when youhear a siren.
But understandthat for my breadto be buttered, Ihave to be on theroad.
If you are not ina hurry you canjust show somecompassion bypolitely moving tothe side as long asyou don’t put thelives of other roadusers in peril.
I reiterate thattaxi drivers are notrude or baddrivers, it’s thepressure exacted onus that makes usbehave the way wedo.
But then, we allknow that attitudeschange over time.

‘You are never too old to learn’MIKE NKALANE
Mboniswa Mcutshwa dropped out of schoolin 1969 to go and work in the mines.Today, Mcutshwa, 63, has decided to drop
his overalls, dust his shoes and be back ina classroom.He has now enrolled at the St Francis Cen-
tre for Adult Education, where he is study-ing with children young enough to be hisgrandchildren.The Gugulethu man is a living testimony
to the old adage: “you are never too old tolearn”.It was 46 years ago that he was asked by
his parents to drop-out in Standard Six orGrade 8, to go seek work in the cities.“It was the norm for boys then to go and
work in the mines in order to provide fortheir families.“Parents only expected boys to herd their
livestock; that was what was important tothem; more than anything else,” he shared.“I had no option but to dowhatwas expect-
ed of me. I went to the mines at the tenderage of 15. The money I earned at Diepkloofmineswas used formy circumcision.At thattime you had to pay for your manhood cere-mony, unlike today.”“Therewere no bursaries... you had to pay
for your education,” says Mcuthswa.He is the oldest in a class of 17 students.
His subjects include Life Orientation, Com-puter Studies,Mathematics, EconomicMan-agement Science, Xhosa and English.GroundUp paid him a visit in his mathsclass.His teachers described as anadorable and
model student who was deprived of the op-portunity to reach his full potential.Nandipha Sigonyela said: “He shines de-
spite his age,”.“It is easy to notice that he is a product
of royal education. He possesses so muchgeneral knowledge.Mcutshwa adds: “It was never my inten-
tion to quit ... If I had my way, I would havecompleted my Junior Certificate.Mcutshwa says today’s children ‘lack am-
bition and desire,’.“Education in these days is so easy, unlike
in the past, wherewe had to dig for the infor-mation.There are computers today where you do
your research.In the old days, textbooks were the only
means of access to information.”“Today’s children start learning at an ear-
ly age. In the past, we were admitted bymeasuring our arms!The armhad to go over the head and touch
the other ear.Then you were admitted. As a result of
that unfair admission policy, I studied laterthan people my age, because I am short,” hesays.“I study with children the same age as my
grandkids.I always wonder why are they only com-
pleting their matric now at night school. Itis because they did not make use of the op-portunities presented to them. Life Orienta-tion is about their daily lives. I fail to under-standwhy they fail suchapractical subject,”he says.His wife, Lindiwe,55, is a cleaner at Plum-
stead Primary School.She says she did not approve at first when
her hubby told her of his plan to go back toschool.“I thought: does this old man know what
he is letting himself in for..I thought he’dmakeus the laughing stock in the family, butmy biggest worry was that children willtease him, resulting in him dropping out
again.”But after seeing his progress, she now
wishes she could join him.“I would like to join him, but I work late.
He is an inspiration to the family and theneighbourhood.He is a living example of achievable
dreams.GroundUp

Principal in court for defying dog orderAftermanymonths of frustration,Mdzanan-da Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha seems tobewinning in the battle to get aman accusedof burying a dog alive, to comply with an or-der of the court.Manono Makhaphela was found guilty of
ordering wo janitors at his school to haveLily buried alive.The incident took place in October 2011.Makhaphela had ordered two janitors to
“get rid” of the stray dog as it was regardedas a nuisance.The school’s kitchen cleaner then report-
ed the incident to the Mdzananda AnimalClinic, who immediately rushed to saveLily, from his 1.5 meter grave.He had been there for about 20 minutes,
according to a witness.After being found guilty, his punishment
was a fine of R6000, with R3000 payable im-mediately and the other half suspended fora period of 5 years on condition than an ani-mal protectionawareness programwas to beimplemented at the school no later than 18July 2013.Mdzananda highly supported the animal
education program as this would enablehundreds of children to be exposed to animaleducation.Today, nearly two years later, only R1000
has been paid and no educational programhas been instilled at the school.In 2014 the Mdzananda Animal Clinic re-
ported the case back toNational ProsecutingAuthority; frustrated that no punishmenthad been adhered to by the offender.Jane Levinson,MdzanandaAnimal Clinic
project manager said: “Wewere low on hopethat anything would change.It was with great joy that we received a
phone call with the news that the principalhad been found, placed in jail for a day andis expected to appear in court later thatmonth,” said .“It was a long, tiring day, but that it ended
with hope,” said JaneThe principal has been made aware that
he has a criminal record in his name andthat he has until the July 18 to start a hu-mane education program at the school if hewants the record against his name to be re-moved.Levinson said according to her observa-
tions, Makhaphela seems to at long last un-derstand what it will be like to live with acriminal record and is showing some formof co-operation with the organisation, as hewants the criminal record expunged.“We are thankful for the National Prose-
cuting Authority for taking this action and
we can only hope that Mr Makhaphela will
be ready on the 18th of July.He will need to send a progress report to
the Mdzananda Animal Clinic every sixmonths for five years based on the progressof his education program at his school.

Itwasnot only day of joy but thatof reflection for 22 members ofthe South African National De-fence Force who were awardedmedals for their years of serviceon last Friday.In the medal parade staged at
the Nine South African InfantryBattalion (9SAI) base just out-side Khayelitsha the memberswere awarded the medals for 10and 20 service.SANDF spokesperson Ser-
geant Nkosinathi Nkosi saidthat the event was special as itacknowledges the hard work ofmembers.“To stay in the SANDF for that
long one needs to be disciplined,loyal and execute your dutiesprofessionally.It shows that they are exem-
plary members with clearrecords,” She shared.NineSAI is oneof 28 battalions
in the countrywith each consist-ing of around 800 members. Itwas established in 1992.Major General Lungile Yam
presided over the ceremony asthe commanding officer of all 48battalions in the country.Friends and families gathered
to see their loved ones receivethe medals of honour.Joyful as the mood was, the
ceremony was also used to paytribute to members of the battal-ion who fell during the battle ofBangui, in the Central AfricanRepublic.In March 2013, 13 SANDF sol-
diers were killed and 27 injuredduring an attack by the Selecarebel forces in that country.Yam further revealed that
there were follow-up attacks onthe SouthAfrican army, but thatthere were no fatalities like thefirst.He told the recipients that
each medal was a reward forselfless dedication.“Over the years you have sac-
rificed, proven you loyalty andprotected our country.These medals are a symbol of
your bravery, service and loyal-ty. I believe that each citizen de-serves an opportunity to hear ofthe struggles you go through toprotect this country.But in the same breath, I am
happy that their families are notneccessarily aware of the battlesthat their sons and daughtersface on foreign soil.After allwedo this so that they
can go to churches, weddingsand parties with a peace ofmind,” he said.Yam also thanked the families
of members for giving them tothe army.
Twenty Two members of the SANDF were awarded with service medalsfor 10 and 20 years of service with the national army.

Kiddies set to shine with IkamvaMANDLA MAHASHE
The future of sports in Samora Machel is setto be a whole lot brighter with the launchof Ikamva Sports and Performing Arts Initi-ative(Ispai) over the weekend.
The organisation, whose main objective isto create a network of sporting organisa-tions, also has coaches that facilitate sport-ing clinics at various schools in the area.
Yongama Fayo said: “We found that thereis no correlation between the arts and sportsbodies in the area.
We all use the same facilities most of thetime, minus the working relationship,”.
Fayo is a consultant with Ikamva.He said that the biggest problem was the
lack of access to professional outfits forsports stars in the township.
“We have a lot of talented children in ourarea but they hardly get the chance to showthey mettle to scouts.
We will facilitate these workshops so thatthese youngsters can be groomed and theirtalent exposed,” he shared.
Thandiseka Mabusela said that there wasa need for an organisation that will highlightthe opportunities available to sporting hope-fuls.
Mabusela is the Deputy chairperson of Is-pai.
“If we can identify their prowess from ayoung age, we can work on it...we will pre-pare that child to be the best that they canbe,”.
Ispai has roped in schools like Naluxolo,Samora Machel and Sophumelela HighSchool in the programme.
The art of drawing has been long lost inlocal schools, and the organisation haspromised to venture into this genre to, help-ing little enhance their latent talents.
Perfomance as an arts form will also be
looked into.Ikamva began their work earlier this year
by placing sports coaches in the schools inthe area.
One of the coaches is Beverly Shumayowhose task is to mentor young soccer play-ers.
“It’s going great as the kids are excited andare really dedicated. There is definitely a tal-ent but it just need to be worked on and I’msure in a matter of years we will have superstars coming from this area,” she said.

Learners to benefit watching the ‘Truth’Cape Town learners are set to get an enor-mous boost from this year’s Artscape SetWorks Season, following the return of theEnglish set-workplayNothingbut theTruth.This is an Artscape production done in as-
sociation with the Siyasanga Cape TownTheatre Company .The drama will be staged between 06 – 13
May 2015 at the Artscape Theatre.Nothing but the Truth forms part of the
Artscape educational youth developmentprogramme that aims to promote social co-hesion, good citizenship and empowermentthrough the arts.The 2015 programme intends to fostermul-
ti-cultural consciousness while honouringthe legacy of Mandela.Theatre legend John Kani scripted the
high quality production.His work has been widely performed
around the world, including New York,where he and Winston Ntshona won a TonyAward in 1975 for Sizwe Banzi Is Dead andThe Island.Kani has also won numerous accolades,
including Life Time Award (SAFTAAwards), Avanti Hall of Fame Award, Hiro-shimaPeaceCultureFoundationAwardandwas also voted 51st in the Top 100 GreatSouth Africans in 2004.Nothing but the Truth is aimed at Grade
12 English learners from the greater CapeTown area, who will get the opportunity toexperience the playwhich is taught as litera-ture.The two hour play will once again be pre-
sented as a full stage production that will al-so appeal to the general public.Marlene Le Roux, Director for Artscape
Audience Development and Educatio said:“The purpose of the educational programmeis to assist grade 12 learners academicallyby presenting plays which are taught as lit-erature on a theatre stage, therefore puttingit in its intended setting,”.“We will also be introducing learners to

ber.Nothingbut theTruth is a thought provok-
ing story of our recent past, a historical edu-cation of Apartheid and the struggle for free-dom of our people.The play is about a man coming to terms
with the past by letting out every bit of re-sentment and hatred about the past that hehas been harbouring within.It is a direct play about how some people
saw the TRC as an excuse that allowed peo-ple who were guilty of all sorts of crimes
against humanity to be set free without pay-ing the price. The production features wellknown TV personalities such as Chris Gxa-
laba , Zoliswa Kawe, and Noxolo Bodlani.Ticket bookings are R40.00 per person,

Artist doing it on their ownThe arts fraternity of Langa is tired of ex-ploitation and a lack of development. Tochange the status quo, they have decided toembark on a process of organising them-selves.On Saturday April 4, they spent the whole
day in a workshop at Guga S’thebe mappinga way forward.The process was led by interim steering
committee consisting of Sylvia Mdunyelwa(chairperson), Nomkhitha Bavuma (deputychair), Phila Mtwana (secretary) and KweziKobus (deputy secretary).“Our main aim is to unite all artists from
Langa to ensure that no one fro outside justparachutes into our community and ex-ploits our talent to the detriment of artists.We need gatekeepers to protect ourselvesand ensure our own development,” said leg-endaryu jazz singer, award-winning film ac-tress Sylvia Mdunyelwa.“As young artists we’re very excited with
this development as it will ensure that welearn from the vast experience of our veter-ans such as Mama Sylvia,” said DJ Sebz’
one of the workshop participants.“Thanks to our internationally recog-
nized jazz diva Sylvia, the workshop was aresounding success,” said Phila Mtwana.Luyanda Ntwanambi believes the process
will facilitate the teaching of arts to youngchildren in the community so that they canbe kept away from negative influences.The workshop was facilitated by Ayanda
Mpono from theAfricanArts Institute, a or-ganisation that aims ‘to developand sustaincreative practice and the protection andpro-motion of the continent’s cultural heritageand assets.Veteran artist Kwezi Kobus expressed
heartfelt thanks to Ayanda for the sterlingjob he did.“This only the beginning and we hope to
grow this bigger,” said Kwezi.Another workshop will be on April 18 at
the same venue from 9am. All artists fromLangaarewelcome toattend.Acontributionof at least R50 towards refreshments on theday will be greatly appreciated. For detailscall 0829604978.
