April 2016 only 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP MANDLA MAHASHE A Nyanga East woman has learned the hard way that belonging to a burial so- ciety does not always guarantee many happy returns and a peaceful service for one’s dearly departed. Nocawe Luzipho joined Isikhumbuzo Fu- neral Services in 2013, and amongst her ben- eficiaries was her brother Sonwabo. The society is headed by one Lulamile Phindiso who is based in Du Noon. When Sonwabo,39, passed away in Janu- ary this year, Nocawe said she duly ap- proached the burial society for a claim and pay-out, so she can bury her brother. It was not to be. Instead the society refused to proc- ess her claim, because she owed them R30 on outstanding bank charges. Nocawe (43) said since joining the compa- ny in 2013, she has never defaulted on premi- ums, and was shocked when Isikhumbuzo refused to bury her brother. “When my brother passed away after fall- ing out of his bed, it was painful and confus- ing but I found solace in the fact that we had a funeral insurance. I then visited their offices in Du Noon to submit papers for a claim. I was shocked when I was informed that I had defaulted and they were not going to help me out,” she said, sobbing. She was told she owed an amount of R30 for bank charges as part of her premium of R150 and therefore the association wouldn’t pay her out her lump sum of R10 000. “I was so confused because this was never properly communicated with me. They told me that I needed to have paid R30 for bank charges.” But Nocawe said she remembers the issue being raised in a meeting held in Nyanga last year, although there was no consent from the general meeting to the proposal. “Many people were not happy with the way things were done regarding this issue.” Her lapse has cost her dearly. She claims there was no written communication to members. It has also come to light that apart from the premuims, a member looses bene- fits if the had not paid up an annual fee of about R250. However, Phindiso is adamant that his or- ganisation has done nothing wrong by refus- ing to pay Nocawe. “We have had countless meetings with our members regarding this R30 fee and by now 95% of our members are aware of the ar- rangement.

loans in order to bury her sibling.“I had to borrow R5000 from a neighbour and my sib-
lings also had to take loans.“The R10 000 could have gone a long way towards the
costs of the funeral.”“What irks me most is that I have never failed to pay

Go to ‘Mashonisas’ to cover funeral expenses at own perilMost working South Africans have to fi-nancially support their parents, siblingsand extended family. Sometimes this fi-nancial responsibility goes beyond regularexpenses like groceries or electricity bills,to major costs such as paying for a funeralin the event of losing a family member.CEOofFNBLife, LeeBromfield sayspeo-
ple who do not plan for the loss of a lovedone usually have to take up debt of tens ofthousands for burial expenses. He says thedesperation to get money for a funeral canlead to poor judgement and exploitation.“When people do not qualify for a loan
with reputable credit providers such asbanks, they are likely to go to ‘Mashonis-as’, also known as ‘loan sharks’. Such indi-
viduals find themselves at themercyof ille-gal practices like having their IDs or bankcards withheld until they settle the loan.The reality is that all these risks can beavoided if people plan properly.”Bromfield says the easiest and most ef-
fective solution is to take up funeral coverto protect yourself, your immediate and ex-tended family. “Even though takingupcov-er may not seem like an urgent need now,the risks of not owning any cover are farbigger,” he adds.He says people who are considering tak-
ing up funeral cover should do the follow-ing:Work out your needs• The number of people you would like
to cover will give you an immediate senseof the type of cover you need. Rememberto include those thatmay be from extendedfamily but rely on you financially.Know how much you can afford to pay• Funeral plans are relatively cheap com-
pared to other forms of insurance, but youstill need to have the budget to pay yourmonthly premium. Despite this, youshould not base your ultimate decision on-ly on cost, consider value as well.Approach trusted insurance providers
with simple processes• There is nothing worse than being sent
from pillar-to-post when claiming fromyour funeral insurance provider. To avoidthis, take cover from a provider you trust
and one that will not ask you to producea long list of document when they need topay you. The simpler, the better.“Everyone hopes to give a decent burial
to a loved one but this becomes very diffi-cult if people do not properly plan for such.Nowadays, the cost of living is quickly ris-ing so it is important to be prepared for allpossibilities that could dent your finances,such as losing a loved one.• The number of people you would like
to cover will give you an immediate senseof the type of cover you need. Rememberto include those thatmay be from extendedfamily but rely on you financially.Know how much you can afford to pay• Funeral plans are relatively cheap.

hu resident and producer Dj Tse,was released early this year, butis now charting in radio stationssuch asMetro FM, 5FM, YFMandhas even reached Botswana.Despite its suggestive title the
singer says the song is not asraunchy as people might think.“You know there is a miscon-
ception in the night life that it’sthe guys that always pay for thenice time. So with this song weask ladies to show us they too canshow up and show us that theydo pay their way,” he grinned.He spoke to City Vision while
he was preparing to come back toCape Town after spending amonth in Jozi promoting the sin-gle.He said that hewas blownaway
by the reception across the coun-try.“The majority of the radio sta-
tions that the songwas submittedto have play-listed the song andits already charting. Right nowit’s on the top 10 on 5FM, its num-ber three on Oskidos Top 5 onMetro FM. Everyone is talkingabout it so I feel we are going inthe right direction,” he said.Ramba started his foray into
the entertainment industry as atiny dancer in the late ‘90s, strut-ting his stuff at every opportuni-ty.
“I used to participate in brandactivations at the rank where abig truck with a sound systemwould invite locals to dance-offs.
I won quite a few of those as achild and the freebees that camewith it,” he notes.
He became a DJ but in 2012 hetook a decision to be a performingartist and has been releasing mu-sic and performing since.
His turning point has beensigningwith Jozi based record la-belLConcepts inFebruarywhichhelped himpushhis latest album.
Teddies Kupe, founder of LConcepts Records and executiveproducer, said that he was so im-pressed with Six that he trackedhim down to sign him.
“We first met in 2012 when Iwas working with another labeland doping a lot of work with Ka-lawa Jazmee. I had visited CapeTown and I bumped into him instudio and he told me about hsdreams and goals. At the timenothing came out of our chat asI was working on deep house. Ithen went on to start my own la-bel and I needed a fresh sound;I ran into this song online andthen trackedSixdownandhe stillremembered me,” explainedKupe.
He said that there was some-thing special about the song andhas been receiving rave reviews.
You can find Six on Facebookand Twitter.

after many battling to find a publishingcompany that would accommodate us.They kept on rejecting my first book un-til I was later joined by Pastor Xola Sko-sana, and we formed a partnership,” hesaid.Nketle said Lesedi House’s vision is toassist aspiring authors to get started inwriting their own books and getting thempublished.Since its establishment, Lesedi House
has already attracted the likes PastorNozewu who has published a book calledImihlinzo.Others include musician Don Laka whowrote the Re-Introduction Of African His-tory,NalediMoleo (SAfmpresenter), Andi-le Gaelesiwe (Khumbulekhaya presenter)and other authors.Their aim is to “reach out to African au-thors and help them get their stories out.”Nketle said the bookshop was the first

ship with the Infecting theCity Festival has announced
that the second annual Kasi-2-KasiPublic Art Festival will be held inDelft and Khayelitsha in April.The first program will start atthe Suburban Shopping Centre inDelft on April 23 with performan-ces leading to the Black Box Thea-tre, at the rent office.The second leg will be at theKhayelitsha Mall with performan-ces leading to the last performanceopposite Harare Police Station.The festival is regarded as one ofthe premiere public art platformsin the country.It is presented in different com-munities and its previous show-case in Gugulethu on March 14last year received great acclaim.“This year’s festival will featuresemi-professionals and establishedchoreographers, directors and vi-sual artists,” said Kasi-2-Kasi Pub-lic Art Festival Artistic director,founder and curator Mandisi Sin-do.Sindo said the public art festivalaims to introduce other forms ofcreativity to young, upcoming andestablished directors, choreogra-phers, musicians, poets, visual art-ists and to audiences.“It is a festival that benefits notonly Cape Town based artists butinternational and national artists

State must save oursouls from loan-sharksThis is for all of you who find yourselvesbeing an victims of ‘oomashonisa’.As black society we always have
financial problems no matter how muchwe earn, sometimes we end up turningfor cash loans, from “dream demons” oroomashonisa.You must be asking yourselves how do
I know what I am talking about.I am talking about those people in our
society who give you R100 then you pay awhopping 50% or 30 % interest.To be frank, I was once a victim of
these people because of my financialproblems.My problem with this is the way
mashonisa’s behave, they want you tolisten to them, but they don’t give youstraight answers, they are aggressive,they bully, they are rude and full ofthreats.Some keep our Sassa cards, bank cards
or IDs.They even manipulate their own
system when it comes to the intereststhey charge. I’ve seen their rudeness tovulnerable people. What compels them todo all of these things to their clients?.Their businesses are not even regis-
tered, and as a result, they don’t evenpay taxes, albeit sitting with hugeinterest.Most of this mashonisas are sadistic,
once the beast comes out of them, theybecome so demonic the even make youpay money that you not compelled to pay.Violence has always been a subject
close to Mashonisa’s.In law you must be registered to own
this kind of business and you must paytaxes.Most of these Mashonisas abuse people
verbally, emotionally and physically, butthey get away with it because most of thepeople they dealing with are not educatedabout their rights.But I think it’s time for the law to act
on this matter because people are facedwith abuses daily by these Mashonisas.Its seems a lost battle as ordinary
citizens have to confront a Goliath wecannot win.We just can’t fight back.Mashonisas manipulate the system and
people are scared to come out and talkabout the abuse they are subjected to bythese people.Most of these loan-sharks don’t even
value their clients, so I am pleading withthe law to have a look at this matter.Just because you are lending people
money that does not give anyone a rightto treat others like animals.If a person cannot pay, the law must
take its course, but before you do that,you need to be a registered entity, whopays tax. There is no justice for victimsof Mashonisas.It has become common cause to see
elderly citizens in tears because of theabuse meted out by these loan-sharks.The state must help us.

Teach us about our AfricaOn numerous occasions I have bumpedinto people who claim to have donehistory at school but frankly they areblank when it comes to South Africanhistory, let alone African history.This gives rise to the question: “whose
history is being taught at schools”?Dwelling on Western history: the Jewishholocaust, the Cold Wars and the FrenchRevolution does not help us, if we do notunderstand our own history.It’s really disturbing to find that South
Africans know nothing about our heroesthe likes of Bhambata kaMancinza,Jong’umsobomvu kaMaqoma, RobertSobukwe, Antony Muziwakhe Lembedeand many others.People know that WWII started in
1939-45, but none know about the Battleof the Blood River (Isandlwane) in 1879or the Imfecane Wars between Xhosas
and Sotho-Tswanas.This is overwhelming, it brings me to
wonder what kind of history is beingtaught at our schools.What do we hope to achieve by
teaching people about Hitler instead ofCheike Anta Diop, Thomas Sankara orPatrice Lumumba?They are Africans, and Western
history has no historical significance tous in any way.No wonder Africans have less self-con-
fidence, they do not know the greatnessbehind our continent.Peter Tosh once said: “you can’t blame
it on the youth”, it should be ourstruggle heroes who should be advancingAfrican studies but instead they arefighting over seats in parliament.

My dreans for South AfricaIn order to build a strong nation, weneed to be tough.The situation is not bad as it looks but
its worse and its getting extremelyworse. Our places of living have becomepools of blood.The streets are red and doom and
gloom is the order of the day.Daylight robberies have become the
norm. Deaths are a daily reality.Unlimited “human rights” are killing
the Black nation. The young are leavingschool at primary level and yet we areexpecting engineers, lawyers and doctorsfrom them.Every year the government is empha-
sizing on building infrastructure fordevelopment. But where is our nationheaded. Who will build the roads,schools and clinics for these develop-
ments.The only solution is to force the youth
back into the classroom, without adisturbance to the hours of learning.Every school must have a library. Nochild should be beneficiary of socialgrant if they are not attending school.Education should be a priority. The
quality and standard of education mustbe set to higher outcomes.Government should ensure that
prisoners do not have it easy, anddeprive them of any benefits.Do not make the life of convicts seem
tantalizing enough for people to brazenlycommit crimes, knowing that they areguaranteed three meals a day and freeeducation.

Whose freedom is it anyway?As much as Apartheid was a crimeagainst humanity, it had the unintendedelement of uniting Black people aroundpertinent issues.After 1994, we became the reflection of
who we were, and if you do not have aclear identity of self, one would fall intothe abyss of becoming whoever some-body else said they are.By the 2010 World Cup, people still
carried the false hopes that the worldcup would change their lives and be thepanacea to our problems.After the spectacle, they were left in
the same squalor as they were in before.Just as happened in 1994.We had hoped for jobs and some of us
even believed that we would suddenlymove to the suburbs. Its called a pipedream.No one wants to talk about these
milestones because it leaves a bitter
taste in their mouths.In 1994, Blacks believed that the closed
doors would be opened by the democrat-ic government.We find ourselves begging for jobs, we
are bought with food parcels and t-shirtsin order to keep the government inpower, the public transport system isworse than it was. We are still deniedhigher education due to the exorbitantfees on registration. This goes againstthe spirit of the Freedom Charter.We are told that there are bursaries
available, but NSFAS is a loan scheme.It would seem that we were taken for
a ride in all manners of our freedom.This Freedom was imposed on us in theknowledge that the political space wewill dominate, but not the economy ofour country.

Amanda’s going places with artAmanda Ntambo has always been
dreaming of becoming an actress anda singer.
Amanda,18, from Lower Crossroad inPhilippi East, realised her potential whilestudying arts at Chris Hani High School inKhayelitsha.Her passion for acting and singing was in-
fluencedbyherShakespearenperformancesat the high school festivals in 2003 and 2004.Her class teacher, Darlington Sibanda, de-
scribedherasoneof his best dramastudentsand that she was born to be a star.“The biggest challenge since I started this
art career is thatmy family never supportedme. This frustrated me a lot and I could notconcentrate properly at school.“But I told myself that it’s my life and I
will do what I want,” she said. Amanda saidart is the most beautiful thing that one can’treally explain.“I’m fulfilled when I perform because I ex-
press myself through art. My life is onstage,” said Amanda.She has performed abroad and at the an-
nual Grahamstown Arts Festival. “Theseachievements, together with themedals andcertificates I have won, make me happy.”When Amanda completed her matric last
year she obtained a distinction in drama.“Despite this, my family still wanted me tochoose a different career. My aunt, Pamela
Sasa, is the only person who believes in meand she ismy rolemodel. “She has been sup-portingme financially andemotionally fromday one. “She gives me money to go to per-formances and she treats me like her own
child. “I sometimes worry about becominga burden to her. I study at the City Varsity.Even thoughmy fees are expensive my auntpays for everything,” she said.“I want to see myself on the big screen. I
also dream of owning an acting agencywhere I could pass on skills and help young
aspiring actors. “Youngsters my age shouldhold their heads high and follow theirdreams.“Don’t let anyone stop you from doing
what you want in life.“And don’t stop praying. And have faith
in what you do,” added Amanda.

Woza Albert asks tough questionsThe beloved and renowned South Afri-
can classic,WozaAlbert is at theBaxterthis week, directed by Fleur du Cap
winner Mdu Kweyama.Woza Albert, which means “Rise Albert”,
was written by Percy Mtwa, Mbongeni Nge-ma and Barney Simon in 1981. The piece isstill regarded as one of the most successfulplays to come out of South Africa, winningmore than 20 prestigious awardsworldwide.
Mdu Kweyama’s version of Woza Albert,brought to stage by arrangement with DAL-RO (Pty) Limited, was first performed at theLittle Theatre last year as part of the BarneySimon tribute by the University of CapeTown.The two-hander stars Sizwesandile Mnisi
and Oarabile Ditsele who play various rolesthrough mime, singing, dance and physicaltheatre - from a vendor, barber, servant to
a manual labourer and soldier.The play is a political satire that imag-
ines the second coming of Christ in apart-heid-era South Africa. It looks at a widerange of characters in South Africa at thebeginning of the 1980s and attacks the passlaws that prevented Black people frommoving freely at the time. The productionuses the metaphor of Morena (Jesus) to
show what would happen if he came back toSouth Africa during apartheid. Would helike what he saw? And if he saw the atroci-ties of the time then why would he not doanything about them?Woza Albert runs in the Baxter’s Golden
Arrow Studio until Saturday 9 April with a14:00 matinee on Saturday.V Tickets cost R100 and are available at Computicket.
