Get to know Ivan Mahangwahaya

Ivan Mahangwahaya success in football comes by a dint of sheer hard-work. He is clearly exemplary role model and will definitely instill key character traits in young stars who are following in his footsteps, because he has proved beyond doubt that perseverance pays off. Today The Only Truth website puts Mahangwahaya on a spot and reveal all you want to know about your favorite player: Selaelo: where did you start playing football? Mahangwahaya: well, some of the things I might not remember because it has been a very long time. Basically, everyone starts locally, so I started playing at my home team Dragon Stars FC. You know, in the olden days football was mostly played by old people, actually ‘older men’. I started playing when I was 12 years old, playing amongst men, because at some point I played football with my two elder brothers and my uncle. I also played football in the streets, in Ravele village and also at school level. I then played for Highlanders FC under 17, in a league sponsored by lottery South Africa. Lottery used to sponsor us with jerseys which were branded lottery, and it was oversized jerseys for an under 17 player, so no one in the team had his size that can fit perfectly. Selaelo: hahaha I see those Lottery jerseys Mahangwahaya: yes, and we played well and took position one on the log. I think I played two seasons at Highlanders FC, and in the past when you have played for Dragon FC, you wouldn’t be allowed to also play for Highlanders FC, but I was the first one to do so. Then, I was promoted to the senior team, things didn’t work out, and I went back to Dragon Stars, the team was struggling and we started it afresh and I ended up becoming the owner. During my time as the owner of Dragon Stars, we won the league in 2006-2007 season, and I still have that trophy in my cabinet at home. Selaelo: interesting... Mahangwahaya: Yes, I then went to Benny’s Care during my secondary schooling, and played for Benny’s Care, I later became the captain of the team, given the arm-band by Wiseman Maluleke who is currently at Polokwane City. I then quit playing football and became a coach of Razwimisani Special School footballing team, where I coached people who are differently abled. The team performed well to such an extent that we went to Polokwane where we beat all Provincial districts and ultimately represented the Province in Stellenbosch, where we were beaten by Mpumalanga province and missed out on a chance to go to Greece. At some stages during those tournaments, I played as a player coach, and that is where I started believing in myself again. Remember, I quit playing football from 2009 to 2010. So in 2011, that passion, zeal and hunger was revitalised, and that is when I went for Black Leopards trials where I was competing with about 500 trialists. Selaelo: jaa neeh! Mahangwahaya: Yes, at the trials we had People like Phumudzo Manenzhe who were also doing trials, I was given a chance to play in the last 10 minutes of the game, but I was not selected. There I was, seating down minding my own things when Black Leopards Development Coach Moses Muthelo came to me and asked for my numbers, although I was not selected he saw something special in me. I gave him my friend’s (Thabo Mamphaga) number because I didn’t have a phone, and said he will call me. Selaelo: mmm Mahangwahaya: The coach did call Mamphaga and asked him to tell me to come because the development side league was recommencing. The side was playing at Vodacom at the time, which is the third division of the league. Our first game before the league resumed, we played against Black Leopard senior team, and that is when Sunday Chidzambwa recommended that I should be signed. I remember “Mukalaha” (David Thidiela) saying “He is our player, playing for the development team, so I don’t see any problem. Let us keep on monitoring his progress”. After two seasons at Leopards development things didn’t work out according to plan, I then asked for my clearance, which was denied. I then went to Dynamos FC for trials, and the team was playing in the NFD coached by Joel Masutha. That is where I met Phumudzo Manenzhe again doing trials, and during those trials Phumudzo would be playing as a striker while I was playing behind as a second striker. That is where we connected and started to know each other, but of course I knew Phumudzo as he played for Orlando Pirates. Then Dynamos decided that they wanted to sign me but it was difficult because I still had clearance issues with leopards. Look I ended up going back home, there is a PSL DC case that I won which is a public knowledge. Black Leopards got relegated from PSL and Dynamos relegated from NFD, then David Thidiela called me and said I must come back and that the team had a new coach who was Costa Papic. Selaelo: Go on! Mahangwahaya: I went for another trials at leopards, I remember being rejected for close to five times, like I would be called and after playing the coach would say I am a good player but the problem is my age. At the time there was under 23 year’s age rule in the NFD and I was 25, and the coach would say that at my age he wanted someone with experience. I was called again and I pushed myself harder and performed very well, and I was selected among players who would face Moroka swallows, a week before the league resume. Selaelo: mmm! Mahangwahaya: I remember when I went to the dressing room, I saw David Zulu who was part of the starting line-up but not at the pitch during the warm ups, seemingly not feeling well, I think he was having a running stomach or something, and I realised that he won’t be able to play. I then went to Joel Masutha and reported the matter, and he said to me “go quickly to the pitch and play and the coach won’t notice”. I then went and warmed up, then played the game and I scored two goals in 15 minutes, then the coach Papic immediately substituted me as someone who was not performing. The coach didn’t see that I was the one who scored those two goals. Selaelo: hahaha hai Vhanna! Mahangwahaya: like seriously, God works in a mysterious ways. Then after I was substituted, Swallows equalised. Lerato Chabangu scored two goals and equalised, his first goal was through a free-kick while the other one he dribble past defenders and scored. At the end of the game we drew 4-4. When we went to the hotel, Chief Thidiela who also attended the match and saw me scoring those two goals, went to the coach and suggested that I should sign, he said to the coach that I scored two goals. Papic said “I didn’t see him scoring”. After that the coach asked for forgiveness and said let us go and sign. That night I signed a 5 year contract, and that is where my professional career kick-started. During those 5 years, together with my former team mates we helped Leopards gain promotion to the PSL. Selaelo: Now tell us about your time at Bidvest Wits, and how are adjusting? Mahangwahaya: When I came to Wits, I sustained an injury two months after signing. I have just played my debut game against Maritzburg United in the Telkom Knock out cup. I think I am not yet 100% fit, I created few chances, but there are things that one reflects on after the game and try hard to improve. I am adjusting very well, it is much easier when I have players like Phathutshedzo Nange, we were signed together from Black Leopard, so we are very close. At training, they respect us because we have been in this game for so long, a lot of players know about us. For example we played against former Jomo Cosmos players like Thabang Monare, and Nonyane in the NFD (National First Division). It is very difficult to adjust in a team, when you are unknown or from a different country. Selaelo: Were there any other teams in the league interested in your services before you signed for Wits? Mahangwahaya: Of course, there are teams that were interested, but when I learned that Wits is also interested, I had to consider them, I mean a big team is a big team. Selaelo: Any advice for young-stars out there? Mahangwahaya: I would say stick to what you know, during my journey in football I had dreams, like I saw myself playing in the PSL. Today it is a dream come true, so I had a dream which I realised. You can’t just jump all the way to the PSL from nowhere, I mean it is very rare. You must be willing to learn from other people, I learnt a lot from people like Phumudzo Manenzhe. As young-stars I feel they should not be afraid to approach legends of the game for advice. If there is trial at Leopards or any other team, they must go there and not be afraid because football is not for spoilt-brats. As much as you are ready celebrate success you must also be ready to receive rejection. Selaelo: Mahangwahaya thank you so much for you time Mahangwahaya: Any time!

EFF Darling Herman Mashaba resigns as Johannesburg Mayor

City of Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba has announced his resignation from both the DA and his position as the executive mayor during a press conference. Mashaba will step down as a DA councillor on November 27 which will automatically make him relinquish his position as mayor.

There has been a rift between DA members since the Afri-Forum performance during the General election in 2019. Some of the people who are likely to be shown the door is the party leader Mmusi Maimane, the close ally of Herman Mashaba.

There is also speculations about racism in the DA, with black members reported to be treated differently. According to the specifications, this saw Lindiwe Mazibuko shown the door, and it was reported at the time by the party that she was going to further her studies at Havard University, which arguably was partially true.  The other one who is waiting for the axe to befall is Mmusi Maimane, who is reported to have lost his influence amongst his party members.

Today Herman Mashaba says he  is resigning because he could not work under a DA that has elected Helen Zille as the federal council chairperson at the weekend. According to Mashaba, Zille’s victory yesterday was a triumph of people who have been against a pro-black narrative that he has been fighting for.

“The election of Helen Zille as the chairperson of federal council represents a victory for the people in the DA who stand diametrically opposed to my beliefs and value system, and I believe those of most South Africans of all backgrounds,” he said

Herman has been in the DA for quite some time now,  today he just wakes up and start to realise that DA has been against the Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa? Unbelievable
“I cannot reconcile myself with a group of people who believe that race is irrelevant in the discussion of inequality and poverty in South Africa in 2019.”

“It is not in my nature to quit anything in life. I succeeded under the darkest days of apartheid when I was told that I could not be a businessman. However, I cannot be a willing participant, in good conscience, in a process that is placing narrow, internal interests of a political party ahead of the needs of the five million residents of Johannesburg,” said Mashaba.

Meanwhile,  ANC said Herman Mashaba's resignation as mayor of Johannesburg and from the Democratic Alliance had very little to do with the weekend election of Helen Zille as the DA’s federal council chairperson. Quoted by sowetan newspaper  ANC regional spokesperson Jolidee Malton said "His resignation is informed by the dire financial crisis that he has plunged the city of Johannesburg into. He has over time been able to get away with lies about the financial affairs of the city,".

"Just because he lost a battle in the party, he throws his toys out of the cot." he concluded

Rumours doing rounds is that Herman Mashaba is likely to join EFF, he had a good working relationship with the EFF and some point acknowledged the EFF for his strides as Johannesburg Mayor. Julius once claimed that Herman Mashaba is an EFF mayor, more because he was seen to be implementing EFF policies than that of the DA.

Elliott eliud Kipchoge Kenyan ( Fastest marathon distance runner) sprint 26.2 miles Vienna marathon under 2 hours

The name Elliott is arguably  derived from the Holy Bible, from the name Elijah, spelled Elias in some versions of the Holy Bible. It is the name associated with Miracles, but some use this name to fake miracles just like Elliott who was raised from dead by controversial pastor Alph Lukau in South Africa .  We want to write about a man who  has, through his hard-work done something that left the world in awe.

On the 12th of October 2019, Elliott Eliud Kipchoge ran the marathon distance on a special course in Vienna, Austria, achieving a time of 1:59:40 in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge . When we converted 26.2 miles to Kilometers we found that the marathon distance was 42 Kilometres

How fast was Elliott Kipchoge? to brake it down, when we calculate his average speed we found that he ran  21, 197km per hour, 10, 598 KM per 30 minutes and 5, 299 KM per 15 minutes, approximately he was running 5,89 metres per second. That is lightning fast and unbelievable Nonetheless, The run did not count as a new marathon record, as standard competition rules for pacing and fluids were not followed and it was not an open event. The achievement was, however, recognised by Guinness World Records.

They say you can't sprint a marathon,  Elliott did the opposite. He goes beyond the limit. Elliott perseverance and endurance supercedes that of the cheetah which only maintain a certain speed for four to five hundred metres before it has to stop and cool down in order to prevent over-heating.

The Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the marathon and formerly the 5000 metres, also won the Olympic marathonin 2016 and set the marathon world record of 2:01:39 on 16 September 2018, at the 2018 Berlin Marathon. His run broke the previous world record by 1 minute and 18 seconds. It was the greatest improvement in a marathon world record time since 1967.

Let us hope that he will not be subjected to hormonal testing since he has done what a human being thought it is not possible. We have witnessed runners like Caster Semenya banished from running with her fellow ladies by athletic governing body.

School Football in South Africa, the tales of three boys from Sinthumule Scondary School in Ha-Ramahantsha

Although School football is extremely undervalued, it is school football in South Africa that has produced many legends, the likes of jerry Sekhosana and Brian Baloyi to name but few. Rowan Thovhakale ,Lebohang Mphasha and Tsepo Masepa are brilliant footballers who are walking on the footsteps of legends. They grew up together in dusty streets of a village called Ha-Ramahantsha, next to Louis Trichardt town in Limpopo province, South Africa. Football to them is not a pastime, but a lovely sport which they are passionate about. Growing up in a rural areas might be a disadvantage to becoming a professional footballer, but for Rowan,Tsepo and Lebohang (Lebera) is not in that perspective. The three boys are working hard day and night to pursue their dreams of playing in major leagues like Premier Soccer League (PSL). Everything that we are seeing flying in the air didn’t start there ,even an aeroplane started on the ground and being a genius is not only about great performances at schools , is about your hardworking. What is interesting about Tsepo,Lebohang and Rowan is that they are also working hard at school. Just to give a brief description of these starlets ,

Rowan Thovhakhale is a middle fielder, who knows what to do with the tempo of a game. He is comfortable on the ball, has perfect skills, killer passes, and short passes and long passes. He can be an engine of any team, he reminds me of former FC Barcelona legends Xavi and Iniesta. The way he takes penalties, he magically always sends goalkeepers to a wrong direction? On the other hand, Lebohang ‘Lebera` Mphasha is a dangerous left footed player. I feel pity for both goalkeeper and nets when Lebohang is on the field because he is a great shooter, dribbler and makes good runs with a ball .Lebo is also a free-kick specialist. Normally we find Lebera playing free role, this position is in front of middle fielder but behind the striker (Central Attacking Mid). Tsepo Masepa is a left back with speed and he plays with confidence. He is capable of defending and attacking. He is a solid defender and not tall but you will find him shielding tall men. He brings crosses and passes to the strikers Tsepo,Rowan and Lebohang with their school teammates played a huge role for their school called Sinthumule Secondary School. They won trophies, medals and prizes .They played schools tournament in 2018 where they won gold medals, prize and trophy. The interesting thing about these three players is that they played all matches for their school. It wasn’t easy for Sinthumule high to win tournaments, but through Tsepo,Rowan, Lebohang and their teammates they made it. I remember, in one schools tournament where sixteen teams were grouped four-four Sinthumule salvaged number one on their group and went all the way to win the final. . One of the dangerous sports academy known as BENNY SPORTS ACADERMY was also part of the tournament but the efforts of Tsepo ,Rowan and Lebera shown them the dust. After winning that competition they went to Tzaneen for Transnet tournament where they competed with four schools. They played league of four teams where Sinthumule took third positon and won bronze medals. After that competition the three boys were selected to represent the province of Limpopo in a national tournament containing all South African provinces. The three took part in all games representing their province. They went all the way and lost in the quarter finals where they had a chance to play for third position where they won against Mpumalanga province and ultimately won a bronze medal in the completion. Tsepo,Rowan and Lebohang are also playing in Vhembe SAB league (known as Castel) in stream E. Last season 2018/2019 they played for Zamenkomste Liverpool FC where they also won tournament called Collins Sebola, which players call it ‘Hollywood’ may because Hollywood Bettting Company was sponsoring the tournament. Collins Sebola tournament was a top eight, just like the PSL MTN8. To add to their achievements, Zamen Liverpool FC also made it to top eight as they took number seven on the log of 18 teams in 2018/19 season. Lebohang scored 15 goals with 12 assists, Rowan scored 10 goals with 23 assists and Tsepo as a defender came out with 4 goals. Tsepo,Rowan and Lebera have signed contracts with Makhitha Oscar Stars FC for this season 2019/2020. Makhitha Oscar stars normaly take position two in SAB Vhembe league on stream E. one wonders what will happen to Makhitha Oscar stars when they have three intelligent players like Rowan,Lebo and Tsepo. Personally, I would like to see players like them playing in the NFD or PSL, even Bafana-Bafana needs players like them. I believe that through their hard working they will make it.

Donald Trump deny visas to low-income (uninsured) immigrants

Donald Trump was quoted by News agency Ruuters “While our healthcare system grapples with the challenges caused by uncompensated care, the United States Government is making the problem worse by admitting thousands of aliens who have not demonstrated any ability to pay for their healthcare costs. ”

The statement, issued by the White House, said it would not affect any individual’s eligibility for asylum or refugee status. The measure will take effect on Nov. 3.

According to a study conducted by kaizer family foundation, In 2017, there were 22 million noncitizens residing in the United States, accounting about 7% of the total U.S. population.

Further, the research indicated that Noncitizens are significantly more likely than citizens to be uninsured. "Among the nonelderly population, 23% of lawfully present immigrants and more than four in ten (45%) undocumented immigrants are uninsured compared to less than one in te (8%) citizens . Moreover, among citizen children, those with at least one non-citiz parent are nearly twice as likely to be uninsured as those with citizen parents (7 vs. 4%)".


What is clear here is that this immigration policy will deny visas to uninsured, low-income immigrants, while allowing the rich to move America, and that this is about cost cutting measure by US government. It will come as a heavy blow to those who want to go to America to look for opportunities.

The irony is that trump himself is said to have been raised by an immigrant. "Trump’s Scottish mother Mary Anne Macleod met the Republican candidate-elect’s father Fred on a holiday or trip to New York in 1930. She was apparently introduced to him at a party by her sister, Catherine".- The National, a Scotland Newspaper

The newspaper also claims that it has proof that Trump's mother was a poor immigrant. " Mary Anne Macleod Trump was a poor immigrant who arrived in New York with just $50 in her purse and worked as a domestic servant in the city for at least four years".

I have seen many people who were raised in a poor backgrounds, but immediately when they rise to the top they forget where they come from. They tend to make it difficult for others who want to climb up the lather.  For Trump is like hating the person he sees reflected on the mirror, he is the product of immigration if the reports are true.

Trump's idea might be good in terms of cost cutting measure and for the economy but his hate against immigrants while he is said to be a  President raised by a poor immigrant makes it difficult to commend his policy.


South Africa is introducing the National health issuance (NHI) , and South Africa being the America to the African continent it would be regrettable to see the country going the trump route and ban all legal immigrants because of their financial backgrounds. The NHI will come with its own challenges a specially because our health system is already in crisis and that South Africa has high unemployment rate.

In South Africa the person who is vocal about immigration is Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, but he is against illegal immigration rather against "poor" legal immigration.

Why the ANC, DA, and EFF funded by dodgy people or organisations like Guptas, Mazzoti and Bosasa

Every party does it, including the so- called nice ones, or those claiming to be fighting for the poor.

To me it is undemocratic, because it distort the very democracy that all these political parties claim to protect and our democracy is always bought by the highest bidder. The rich and the powerful have long been generous benefactors to political parties in this country since the dawn of democracy.

When the rich hand over large wads of cash to political parties, they automatically make their votes count more. The next thing these donors will be invited to a gala dinner with the leaders of  political parties to discuss their views. They do not find it difficult to get a meeting with party leaders to discuss and promote their views on what the next government should do, policy matters and which tender must go where. They literally become lawmakers. That is undemocratic and it should be against the law.


According to an article written by mail-guardian about the list of people funding political parties written in 23 April 2019,  EFF donors was the VBS Mutual Bank, alleged tobacco smuggler Adriano Mazzotti, and his co-director of Carnilinx, Kyle Phillips.
DA was funded by the Guptas, Steinhof, while the ANC was funded by Bosasa amongst others

All these political donation are wrong, not because are from so and so  or to this or that particular party, but because all donations that are worth Thousands and thousands of rands to any political party are wrong.

In January 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law the Political Party Funding Bill, it seeks to provide guidelines and new regulations on the funding of political parties. It also includes, among other measures, a ban on donations from foreign sources and a requirement for parties to disclose all donatioEvery party does it, including the so- called nice ones, or those claiming to be fighting for the poor.
