Thank you to the grade 10 and 11 pupils from rural/previously disadvantagedschools who have submitted their entry forms for theKZN Premier Spelling Bee Maritzburg regional event,
to be held on 23 August 2014 at Eastwood Hall, Pietermaritzburg.
ON 9 August, 58 years ago, over 20 000women of all races and ages, fromevery corner of South Africa, marched
together towards the Union Buildings inPretoria in protest against pass laws thatproposed even further restrictions on themovements of women.
The national march, lead by Lilian Ngoyi,Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu and SophiaWilliams-De Bruyn, petitioned againstpasslaws,alegislationthatrequirednon-whitepeople to carry at all times a documentthat would ‘prove’ that they were allowed toenter what was previously known as a ‘whiteonly area’.
These women delivered a petition,containing over 100 000 signatures to PrimeMinister J.G Strijdom’s offices where theystood in silence for 30 minutes.
Theyendedthemarchsingingwhatbecametheir anthem, ‘wathint’ abafazi (You strike awoman, you strike a rock).
Inaugurated in 1994, along with afree, democratic South Africa, the publicholiday commemorates the 1956peaceful march by the women as a steptowards the freedom that everywomanenjoystoday.
Every year, Women’s Day is celebrated andhomage is paid to the women of the nation,mothers, wives, sisters and daughters whofought tirelessly against the tyranny of theApartheid government.
Strike a woman,strike a rock
>> Wathint’ abafazi,wathint’ imbokodo,uza kufa! When you strikethe women, you strike a rock, you will be crushed, you will die!

ItisclearthatSouthAfricanfootball now belongs only tothosethatare“educated.”Themasses that make huge sacri-fices at grassroots level haveno say in the direction of thegame.
It is also sad that the politi-cal “liberators” have becomenew colonizers. How do youexplain situations where for-eigners determine the techni-cal direction of our game?
The conclusion is thatBlack South Africans hatethemselves.This is the reasonwhy those inpositionsofpow-er think others, Black in par-ticular, lack capacity to do
good work.Itisdisappointingthatafter
20 years of democracy, themindsarestill trappedincolo-nial state. Presently, the foot-ball world is realizing the im-portance of culture, biologicalqualities, climatic conditions,mentalitiesetc.inthedevelop-ment of the game.
Success can only beachieved by those who aretrue to themselves.
South Africa is the onlycountry that confuses youthfootball with amateur game.
How do you explain the in-troductionofagerestrictionincompetitions like SAB andMotsepe League? What is go-ing to happen to boys over theageof21whoaregoodenoughtoplayinthis level?Arewenotdriving young people intodrugs, alcohol and other anti-
social activities?Why introduce age restric-
tion in these promotion/rele-gation competitions and notapply the same rule in thePSL? Football has two pillarsi.e. youth where there is nopromotion/relegation andseniorswhereperformance isexpected. Presently, SouthAf-rican young footballers arenot properly handled. Facili-tiesareindisrepair, thereisnoproper coaching, and admin-istration of competitions ischaotic.
The introduction of theseanti-football rules is makingthe situation worse.
The fact that we also bringtechnicians that tells kids thatyouneed tobe tall to play foot-ball is turning our game into ajoke.

season and a couple of national players.She said quality, balance and leadership
were very important and the local team wasblessed with all of it.
“We are very lucky that in local netballcircles, especially around the Mgungundlovudistrict, there are a couple of players whohave had a chance to play at a provinciallevel. The likes of Minky Moahloli, KhaliphaGibisela, Fezeka Gambushe and Nonhlanhla“Skhokho” Shezi had a big impact in theBrutal League Cup. Also players like BongiweMsomi and Precious Mthembu bring therequired experience and stability needed in
the team because they are regulars in thesenior national team, the Spar Proteas,” saidNsele.
District manager of the local sports andrecreation department, Busi ‘Mphathi’Nkomo, this week said that she was happywith the hard work put in preparing the teamfor the Cape Town event.

Good deal for United>> But tough kickoff to the season against Mamelodi Sundowns on Friday
AS a way of ensuring thatMaritzburg United stay inPietermarizburg, the
MsunduziMunicipalityhas injectedamassive financial boost into the club.
The R36 million, three-year dealthat was struck between parties onMonday comes after attempts by theNelson Mandela Bay Metro in PortElizabeth to lure the Team of Choicetouse its stadiumas itshomeground.
The decision has been hailed as awise one, as it will ensure that localfootball loversarenot leftstrandedbythe only PSL outfit in the city.
It is also believed that the decisionnot to relocate will perpetuate thelegacy of Pietermaritzburg ofproducing top talent for the PSL.
Many years ago, local soccerstructures produced quality playerswho played for PSL giants and wereregulars in the national teams.
Players such as Arthur Bartman(Kaizer Chiefs, African Wanderers/Golden Arrows), Shaun Potgieter
(Ajax Cape Town/ Orlando Pirates),ShaunDonnelly(JomoCosmos/Ama-Zulu), Mbulelo ‘OJ’ Mabizela (Orlan-do Pirates/ Mamelodi Sundowns,Chippa United and MpumalangaUnited),Andile ‘S’guta’Cele (OrlandoPirates/ Golden Arrows), RowenDolphin (AmaZulu), Shane Morrison(AmaZulu), Sifiso Mnyingwa(AmaZulu) and Sandile ‘AK47’Ndlovu (Sundowns/ MorokaSwallowsandDynamos) toname justa few.
The Eastwood born Morrisoncaptained theSAU17 teams thatwonthe Cosafa tournament in the midnineties.
Dolphinwasatonestageacaptain
of the SA U20 team under ShakesMashaba.
During the era, the city hosted anumber of regional, provincial andnational tournaments, includingBafana Bafana, SA Under 23, KaizerChiefs and Orlando Pirates playingagainst local PMB school teams.
There is also a belief that if themunicipality and United’s vision canbe fully supported at all politicallevels, national events will surelycome back and that might boost thelocal economy.
The deal is worth R12 million ayear and theTeamof Choicewill nowofficially flash the MsunduziMunicipality logo on their sleeve.
“It ishistory.Ourpartnershipwiththe Msunduzi Municipality is uniqueand ground-breaking,” said Unitedchairman, Farouk Kadodia.
The deal was concluded a littleover a month after United turneddown a similar offer by the NelsonMandelaBayMetropolitantorelocateto Port Elizabeth.
“I think the most important factwas that the club had its loyalties toPietermaritzburg, based on thedirectors’ own interest in the city,”said Kadodia.
There are conditions attached tothe deal, which involve performanceand also the development of localplayers, while the city also wants to
spread the game to other venuesother than the current home groundof the Harry Gwala stadium.
United took the opportunity toparade their 16 new players, mostof them youngsters recruited fromtrials, to make up for the loss of over10 of its players.
Unfortunately, the Team ofChoicewillofficiallykickoff theirnewleagueseasononacontroversialnoteaway in Pretoria tomorrow night(8pm).
United will face last season’sleaguewinnersMamelodi Sundownsat Loftus but won’t be allowed to usethree players loaned from the City ofTshwane outfit.
“Yes we won’t be able to use thetrioon loan fromSundowns,SibusisoKhumalo, Kwanda Mngonyama andAbel Mabaso. Unfortunately it’s thename of the deal and the game,” saidUnited head coach, Steve Komphela.
