This time four-year-old Lubabalo Mtheka- la spend five days in hospital after menacing rodents gnawed at his right hand at his Phantsi Kwecingo informal settlement home on Sunday 19 October. His father Vusi (41) said his son sustained a number of wounds after the initial bite. However, things turned for the worst when little Lubabalo’s entire body started swelling the Tuesday after the incident. “He woke up crying, saying that his body was paining. Then we noticed that his body was swollen. We took him to the clinic. Thereafter he was sent to Mitchell’s Plain Hospital,” Mzukuza explained. He and the toddler’s mother, Nokulunga Mthekala (24) were concerned about their son’s life. “We soon realised our fears that he may have been infected or poisoned, as a result of the rat bites, were true. We thought we were going to lose him. But the hospital staff told us that he was going to be fine,” he said. The area has been plagued by rats since 2011, Mzukuza said. He believes the City of Cape Town is com- pounding the problem by not effectively dealing with a dirt container adjacent to their house. “The rubbish is not collected in time, Scrap collectors make things worse by leav- ing the container open after foraging for metal,” he said. “It’s easy for people who do not live here to say we should clean your yards so that rats won’t breed here, but we do not have a yard. We cannot control what people do. Peo- ple use the area outside our home as a toilet, which adds to the filthiness. The rats thrive that way.” When City Vision visited the home, Mzukuza said he once encountered a rat in- side their kitchen, adding the rodent did not flinch when he saw him. Mthekala said the rats destroy everything they deem edible. “If you have leave food unattended or in a plastic container, they will bite their way through the covering,” she explained. “At the moment, we don’t have electricity so they are not visible, but they will become more active when we have electricity.” City Vision previously reported on three incidents of rodents attacking humans in the last two months. At the time, Mayoral Committee member for Health, Benedicta van Minnen, advised residents to rodent-proof their homes. “This includes removing piles of wood, refuse and other material in the vicinity, which could possibly provide a place for rats to breed; sealing off of all openings around pipes, doors, windows and holes or cracks in the floor; and repairing and sealing all openings on the roof,” Van Minnen said. She further added that residents should not dispose of waste in stormwater drains, as rats are attracted by domestic waste and foods dumped in these drains. “Residents can help to curb the rat prob- lem by keeping their areas clean, disposing of waste in bins and keeping the bins closed, Van Minnen said. “Where waste is placed in large refuse skips, the waste must be placed in bags first. This will also help to control cockroach and fly activity.” Little Lubabalo Mthekala (4) is the latest victim of flesh eating rats in the townships. He is pictured with his mother, Nokulunga Mthekala. PHOTO: MANDLA MAHASHE

A country in mourning
I want to kick start this week’s columnwith a request to observe a minute’ssilence for our fallen hero, SenzoMeyiwa.On Monday we woke up to the sad
news of the murder of our nationalpride, whose life was cut short as aresult of the ongoing carnage rippingthrough our country.It is a shame that we lose our young
men and women through senselessviolent acts.We lose people who had bright
futures and a lot to plough back intoour country.We are deprived of role models who
would have taken our country to thehigher echelons of sport and manyother spheres.With each soul we lose through
violent acts, the whole country takes aleap back to the dark ages.I cannot think how many times we
have seen mothers crying and experi-encing trauma when their beloved kidsare mercilessly and brutally murderedat the hands of faceless people.I cannot imagine the deep hurt some
of the fathers go through when theuntimely news of the murder of theirkids breaks.It doesn’t end with the parents, as
the whole family reels and sufferspsychologically.At times I wish the perpetrators
could put themselves in the shoes ofthe bereaved family members and gothrough the anguish, pain and trauma.
It is a sad state which we findourselves in at this day and age. Wefeel we are not protected. We live bychance, because someone, somewherecan just decide our faith and end ourprecious lives.Our lives are in the hands of people
who are hell-bent on ensuring onlythey enjoy the freedom our brothersand sisters fought for.Is this the price we have to pay? Is
this what the future hold for Mzantsi’schildren? Is Mzantsi going to be ruledby the barrel of the gun? If so, what isdifferent from the previous regime?The callous murder of people is far
too frequent. When democracy wasushered, we thought everything wouldbe fine. We thought that our liveswould improve for the better. Whycan’t we live together in peace? Why isit that we find it so easy to take livesas if we are animals?Enough is enough. We call upon
those who have made it their task tobe executors to be human again.Let’s use Senzo’s death as a lesson,
showing we are losing too many youngpeople who could make remarkabledifferences in our country.We have lost a great goalkeeper. We
all mourn his sudden passing. Ndi-vumeleni ndithi hamba kahle ndodana.I was so looking forward to the derby
between Kaizer Chiefs and OrlandoPirates this weekend, but someone elsehad ulterior ideas.I never thought I would be writing
this column, mourning the senselessmurder of Senzo.Anyway, kuthiwa izicwangciso
A group of fed-up Nyanga residentsexecuted a citizens’ arrest of a trou-blesome “thief”.This after the man allegedly bur-
gleda shack.Heallegedly gain entryby cutting through the zinc shelterand stole several items, some ofwhich were recovered from him.Residents took the man to the po-
lice stationwhere hewas taken intocustody.But the handover was not con-
ducted before the alleged criminalwas roughed up by the fumingcrowd.“The suspect was admitted to hos-
pital as a result of injuries sustained[during a beating] . He is currentlyunder police guard,” said Nyangapolice spokesperson Captain Ntom-boxolo Sitshitshi.She further applauded residents
for handing over the suspect, butwarned against taking the law intotheir own hands.“This is exactly what we always
urge people to do – when they arrestsomeone, they must bring that per-son to the station,” she said.“But they must not assault the
suspect, as they will get themselvesinto trouble with the law.”

Enticing audiences through rhythmic soundsMANDILAKHE MONCO
The sounds escaping from the wooden in-struments are harmonious and melodic.The group of men controlling the instru-
ments are young and energetic. From theirstage persona and body language, it is clearthey love being behind the marimba sets.The local marimba band, which forms
part of Gugulethu’s Phatizwelethu ArtsProject, is growing from strength tostrength. Thanks to the help of the organisa-tion’s founder, Solomon Xulu, the band hasshowcased its talents on various stages, in-cluding the prestigious Cape Town Carnival– a cultural explosion of local talent.The project aims to passionately serve un-
der-served youthswho are not ordinarily ex-posed to arts and culture.The marimba band, comprising Thando
Solundana, Phumzile Sibanda and SongezoFikizolo,weremembers ofMzanzi Sounds in2008. The three wanted to start their ownband, but financial constraints crippledtheir plans.After several requests to the provincial
Department of Arts and Culture for funds topurchase a marimba set, the three wereabout to give up hope.But then they met Xulu at a job centre in
Nyanga East, in 2008.Xulu is an expert in makingmarimba sets
and the group soon proposed that he manu-facture a set for them. In return, he would
manage the band.Xulu, an internationally recognised tradi-
tional dance choreographer, singer andsongwriter, took them under his wing and

Motorists put bread onwindow washer’s tableDerrick Sangcosi (38) from Khayelitshacleans vehiclewindows for any handouts atthe Mew Way and Jeff Masemola Drive in-tersection.
He started doing this kind of work afterhe lost his job.
When Derrick approaches motorists, hewaves at them and shows them the windowcleaner and a bottle filled with water andsoap.
He said that he first waits for approvalfrom the motorists before he cleans theirwindows.
Some generousmotorists pay himR10 forhis service.
Derrick used to work as an assistant ata Cape Town shoe distributing company be-fore he lost his job in 2004.
He then started looking for piece jobs tomake a living.
But when he could no longer afford thetravelling cost, he started cleaning car win-dows.
He said that he started at the busyMande-laBoulevard inCapeTownbefore hemovedcloser to home in Khayelitsha.
“I struggled to get money to take a trainto go look for work and decided to start thiswork,” Derrick said.
“Even though it’s not an important job,it’s better than sitting at home doing noth-ing.
“At least I’mable to survivewith the littlethat I make. I’m dedicated to what I’m do-ing.”
“However, I need a permanent job to sus-tain myself properly because piece jobs areunpredictable.”
The single man has no kids but supportshis relatives in Qumbu, Eastern Cape.
“I am grateful to the motorists who sup-port me. The little that they give me goesa long way,” he said.
Motorist Zamile Balindevu (52) said he isproud of Derrick because he is doing a goodjob.

Think before you make a choiceWe look at and identify whatpupils go through when decidingon the career paths they wouldlike to pursue.There are many things to
consider when choosing a career,because we want to make sure wewill not regret the career path wewill aspire to do for the rest ofour lives.When a pupil matriculates, he
or she has already set out,through the influences of mentorsteachers, parents and society, tofurther his or her studies. In theprocess, he or she will achieve ahigher qualification and ultimate-ly earn a decent salary and livethe “good life”. In most cases,parents force their kids to studybecause they want a better futurefor the child. What these parentsdon’t realise is that this couldlead to the biggest failure in achild’s education career. Most
teenagers are unsure about theircareer paths; they choose whatthey are interested in at the time,only find out that the course ofstudy is not for them. They endup dropping out and wasting atuition fees. It is recommendedthat kids who are unsure abouttheir future while doing matric,should take a gap year and gointo the working world to experi-ence what life has to offer andthe requirements needed toachieve it.They would find out, through
experience, what life they want topursue. They would have gainedexperience and responsibility too.It is important to know where
you are going in life. At the endof the day the life you pursue,with the support of others,depends on you.

It’s time to spread the love in kasiGrowing up in the township hastaught me many things.I have come across many tough
and joyful times. That being said,I have noticed something ismissing – we are no longersharing love. As I write, I’mthinking: “Ekasi there is no suchthing as love.”We often cry about the ills of
our society, such as non-motivat-ed youth, low self-esteem and thebad behaviour of our children.That is something they have
learnt and inherited from us, theelders. Now you are wonderinghow is that possible...
Take note of Kasi life.When we are drinking and
smoking, we promote it as beingcool and exciting.When we fight or beat someone
up, we put lots of pride in it.Children think it is some sort ofsuper status.I watch some neighbours on
grant days. It’s always a party,with noise and lots of drinking.Even the little ones are offered asip. Right after the “party”, it’swar time and swearing rules theneighbourhood – all of this, rightin front of everyone.However, it is rare to hear
mama and tata saying in front ofthe children ndiyakuthanda. Tobe honest, I can’t even rememberhearing when couples are drunk.Why that is, I don’t know.Let’s continue to share love,
hug each other and remindchildren that they are loved bycontinuously telling them.Let love not to be scarce in
homes and families. This canchange the society at large andensure that people live in harmo-ny and peace, as they feel com-fortable and loved.

Grim experience at day hospitalOn Saturday at 20:30, I visitedGugulethu Day Hospital with myson, who has been in an accidentand injured his right arm.I first went to the admin block
to open a folder, which didn’ttake too long, and then took thefolder to the Trauma Unit.
We waited there for more thantwo hours. I asked the securityguard when my son will behelped, as he was in pain. Butshe said we would have to waitlike other people. She thenexplained the process.My son was attended to at 03:00
the doctor then informed us thatwe would have to wait for anambulance to arrive. My son wasreferred to Mitchell’s PlainHospital.The doctor who treated my son
was very helpful and treated my
son with respect and dignity. Wewaited until 06:00, with theambulance coming and going.I asked the security whether we
were waiting for a specialambulance, as an ambulance wasvisible, but no one was calling us.She again said we have to wait.At 06:30, I asked the doctor who
treated my son whether I couldtake him to Mitchell’s Plainmyself.We left Gugulethu KTC and
there were other people, who hadarrived much earlier thatevening, still waiting for aconsultation.The staff who worked the
evening of Saturday 25 Octoberwere not wearing name tags –from the cleaner to the securityguard, nurses and doctors.The security officers has no
way of communicating withpatients. They are cheeky.At the Trauma Unit, a guard
told a woman: “Here, you willlisten to what I say and you don’tcomment.”A man, also a staffer, passed by
and said: “At Gugulethu DayHospital Trauma Unit there is nofirst come, first serve. If youdon’t have blood, you are not anemergency.”I am not sure how they deal
with internal bleeding andserious illnesses.The hospital needs urgent help.
The conditions they are workingin doesn’t help. They need to finda way of dealing with theirworkload and stop ill-treatingpatients. I won’t go there again.

Knuckle down and study hardFormer president Nelson Mandelasaid: “Education is a great enginefor personal development”.As Grade 12 pupils start
writing their final exams, I wishthem nothing but luck. I wouldlike to urge all matrics to makeus proud by unleashing their truepotential and excelling.I also urge teachers and
parents to offer their undividedsupport to the pupils so they canbe motivated.I humbly ask everyone writing
Grade 12 exams to put everything
on hold in pursuit of their goal.You need to be committed and
study hard. No success will comewhile you sit around relaxing.Make use of educational
programmes on television and thestudy advice in different newspa-pers. Know that success is shy –it won’t come out when you arejust sitting around.You need to put on your boots
and walk like a soldier. Knowthat by obtaining your matriccertificate, you will have takenthe first step towards pushing
back the frontiers of poverty inour country.Never mind your challenging
circumstances at home, you mustknow that the sun sets to riseagain. Start now and prepare foryour exams, for the world has ahabit of making way for thosewho know where they are going.And bare in mind that my goodwishes will never see the light ofday if you don’t work hard. Yoursuccess is our pride.

The trouble with ‘chequebook’ justiceHow are we expected tounderstand justice? Whensomeone steals a chocolateworth R10, he or she is sen-tenced to five years in jail.Then there’s Oscar Pistorius, atrained and experienced gunhandler. He fatally shoots hisgirlfriend and is charged withculpable homicide. He sen-tenced to five years in jail andmay only serve 10 months. Ifyou take someone’s life, youshould serve a lengthy sen-
tence. Judge Thokozile Mas-pia’s controversial verdictraised many eyebrows, withsome arguing the justicesystem is a “chequebookjustice”. Years back WilliamNkuna was charged with themurder of his cop girlfriendthanks to circumstantialevidence. He was sentenced tolife in prison. Oscar’s wasgiven a slap on the wrist.

Khanyi Mavi
Dropping sick beatsMTHAKAZI MAKALIMA
Khanyi Mavi is a hip-hop starwho is not afraid to speak hermind and be herself.She believes themusic indus-
try is filled with people fakingwhat already exists and saysshe will not follow trend.The isiXhosa rap artist is de-
termined to leave her mark.Born and raised in Gugu-
lethu, Mavi has not allowed hercircumstances to restrict herfrom following and achievingher dreams in a male-dominat-ed industry.However, she never per-
ceived the industry as filledwith testosterone. “As soon aswe stop saying rap is for men,we will see it that way,” Mavisays.“There have been women in
the industry for a long time; it’sjust that they were not SouthAfricans.”Mavi started performing at
open mic sessions in 2001 andshe released her first singleKhalingoma, produced byMan-az, in 2011. Her first album iN-tombi-Zifilile” was launched ayear later. The album is availa-ble at African Music in LongStreet at R100 or on iTunes andAmazon.“The musicians I have
worked with include Manaz,Kosh and Korianda, all produc-er/singers. Some songs alsofeature Driemanskap, Jacob,Andiswa and Unathi ‘LadySlice’.”She chose hip-hop because it
“spoke” to her. “It had attitudeandword play, and I gained oth-er music genres through hip-hop,” Mavi explains.“The music had a lot to say
and itwas saying the things, theway they should be said. I justloved the music.”Her stand-out career high-
light was the launch of album.“Itwas the first timemyCDwas
released. Many people showedtheir support and the responsefrom the audience was amaz-ing,” she says.“The cherry on top was sing-
ing sensation Lauryn Hill wasalso there and performed.”Mavi describes writing and
recording songs as “beautifuland fun”, but acknowledgesthat the biggest challenge forany up and coming artist isfunding.“You have to have money to
pay for the beats, using studiosand promoting you album,” shesays.“Nothing is free. And it’s
even harder for up and comingartists.”She has showcased her skills
abroad, strutting her stuff onstage in Sweden with other art-ist from South African actsDriemankap, DJ Humner andThe Cutt.“We collaborated with a
Swedish artist last year; thesong was released in August,”Mavi says.Language barriers are non-
existent when it comes to herdream of becoming an interna-tionally-acclaimed artist, sheexplains, as oversees crowslapped up her music.

Chapterz’ jazzy vibeNot so long ago, five young pas-sionate artists came up with anidea to start a band.But they never dreamed their
success would be as advancedonly two years after establish-ment.Formed in 2012, Chapterz is
relatively a young band butthey are quickly leaving im-prints on the jazz scene.Bass guitarist Prince Mafu
said their vision to “tell storiesthrough music and bring joy tothe lives of people from differ-ent chapters of life”.Since their formation, Prince
said, they have “spread the gos-pel ofmusic in different forms”.“Chapterz focuses on various
genres, such as standard jazz,
African jazz, funk, gospel,house and R&B music,” he ex-plained.And they have had the oppor-
tunity to showcase their musiconvarious platforms, includingplaying back-up for jazz vocal-ist Nono Nkoane, live onSABC’s Expresso.Last year, they also per-
formed at the Cape Town YouthJazz Festival and the ArtscapeYouth Festival.With many future concerts
linedup, the band is also polish-ing its act for Hectic9 auditionsnext month.“We want to do well in that
the competition, so that we canput our name in people’sminds,” Prince said.

Mischievous taxi drivers andmotorists blow their horns andwhistle wildly as members ofthe Feminique Fitness Club(FFC) jog through the busystreets of Mfuleni.But FFC founder Yonela
Khetsheza is adamant they arenot bothered by lurid commentsthey often get from men on thestreets.“The things they say are rude,
but we don’t let it discourageus,” Yonela said.Yonela started the FFC when
she realised young women needto train.“We don’t only provide only
physical fitness, but also the ac-companying emotional supportneeded by women in town-ships,” she said.The battle against the bulge
involves more than poundingyour body.“A large majority of women
in townships have insufficientknowledge and guidance on nu-trition and exercise – we pro-vide that here,” she explained.The club is a community
building initiative throughshared physical fitness, Yonelasaid. Themembers exercises to-gether two or three times aweek in Mfuleni.
Her dream is to eventuallyopen a fully-equipped gym.The birth of Yonela’s son pre-
sented the impetus for a bigdream.Having studied sportmanage-
ment, she knew the value ofstaying healthy and fit. Shestarted jogging in her neigh-bourhood to loseweight – an un-usual sight in a township, de-spite it being only 40km fromCape Town CBD.But Yonela believes fitness is
not only about losingweight. “Ithelps boost self-esteem andbuilds community networks,”she said.Her enterprising spirit was
channelled when she decided tovolunteer as a sport facilitatorat local NGO Afrika Tikkun.“The idea for the club was
born from talks among my col-leagues and myself. I hated thatthey would find a diet onlineand just start it. They wouldcome when it hadn’t worked,”Yonela explained.Interactions with other wom-
en inspired her to start the club– and she leads by example.“Iwalk towork; I always have
a bottle of water with me; and Ijog back home,” she said.By day, she teaches basic
computer skills and runs hergym class at night. A lack of in-
door facilities hasforced the womento exercise outsideMfuleni Satdium.Yonela says that
the communityworker in herkeeps her going, aswell as the oppor-tunity to impactlives.Vuyokazi
Gamtele (22) saidbeing part of theclasses keeps herfocused.“We share ad-
vice and tips, andstick to each likefamily,” she said.Lusanda Gxil-
ishe said the gymoffers the women achance to bondand share experi-ences, while beat-ing the bulge andunfitness.“We are a happy
family; we encour-age more womento join us,” shesaid.

le Ndawo (17) couldn’t describe hisjoy when his team was crowned thechampions. “I’m proud; it shows weplayed well throughout the season. Ihope that we will defend the titleagain next season, get involved intournaments and further develop theteam,” he said.The game also marked the end of
the season for both teams. They will
