Xenophobic attack to zimbabweans

I echo the same sentiments with the deputy minister of Home affairs Malusi Gigaba quoted on Sowetan 20 November 2009 page 4 saying “Farmers who employed illegal immigrants fanned xenophobic attacks”. Gigaba went on to say employing illegal immigrants because their rights are not protected makes them vulnerable to exploitation and undermines the locals’ rights to employment. Please farmers stop taking advantage of the vulnerable immigrants, because in so doing you would be forsaking other competent South African job seekers as they do not concede in being paid insufficient amount. STOP treating our fellow vulnerable immigrants like dogs.

But most importantly I would like to discourage everyone who engages himself/herself in xenophobic attack. I still can not make head nor tail of how as blacks, as Africans hate one another so much. We still crying foul of racism yet ironically we are bearing haterage at one of us. Do we think whites would love us, when we do not love our fellows? Charity begins at home.

Please SAFA don't disapoint us again!!

Thank God we finally got rid of the "Big Nose" Santan, who disgracefully put our much-loved team BafanaBafana at number 80 as far as fifa ranking is concerned. It has been a trend for SAFA to mismanage the South African football for years, with the likes of Molefe Olifant, Ivin Khoza who steered our foot ball down the drain. When SAFA takes on the Brazillian couch - Santana they knew quite well that he lacked international experience and that he was hopping from one club to the other in Brazil without success. As a matter of fact SAFA never delved deeply into Santana’s credentials; instead they fall into Carlos Pereira’s trap and took his words for it.

Now is the time for a new leadership, I would be disenchanted a great deal, if SAFA take on Pereira as the head Couch to take Bafana Bafana to the world Cup. The time is ripe for Bafana to get a local couch, the couch who fully understands our foot ball style and our players. We have no time to waste, only few months left. We have couch like Shakes Mashaba, Jomo Sono, Garvin Hunt, Clive Backer and Gordon Igisund. And beyond reasonable doubt tall these couches have a great acumen to take Bafana to greater heights, let’s forget about Pereira and his crew because we have a bottle of talents right here at home.

Why am I saying Local couches? Since South Africa was allowed to participate in sports in 1992, couches that have been successful were local couches. Your Clive backer, Jomo sono and Shakes Mashaba, none of the over sees couches did well in Bafana Bafana, so it is high that we start to value the talent that we have.

Hopes are high that Christian Nematandani would bring measure development and changes to South African foot ball fraternity, yes he must not disappoint. The previous regime was characterized of lack of accountability, invisibility, clumsy and silence when it comes to South African foot ball. Nematandani should not take the job ahead of him frivolously because there is still a lot of work to be done. Look at Ghana, Ivory Cost, where were they in the last six years? They were small teams, but look at them today; they have developed in such a way that South Africa can not be compared with them. Its all about development at the grass roots level, SAFA still have a challenge to development of young stars as far as soccer is concerned. Please Nematandani DON’T DISAPOINT US LIKE OTHERS DID!!!!

DLGH Celebrates Mandela Day in Style

By Tshimangadzo Muleya

I was privillaged to be part of the Department officials who extensively contributed in changing lives of the poor in the Province. Lives of the destitute families dramatically changed at a lightning speed on Mandela Day when the MEC of Local Government and Housing Mr. Soviet Lekganyaneand the Department officials built them Houses as a present during Mandela day on Saturday 18 July 2009. The Houses were built in Mohokone (Bolobedu) and Ga-Marishane (Janefurse) respectively. Mandela Day is an annual celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life and a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make an imprint and change the world around them.

It was all go at the venue and the MEC, Mayors and the officials showed absolute commitment when building the house of the destitute family. “If Nelson Mandela dedicated 67 years of his life to serve humanity, surely each and every one of us can spare 67 minutes of our time as a way of saying thank you to him by serving and doing good to others” Said the MEC.

I was queit impressed to see the MEC Mr. Soviet Lekganyane, who looked like a qualified brick layer putting up Matjatji’s house. The MEC further indicated that the department will continue to accelerate services delivery and pursue the development of integrated and sustainable human settlements in honour of Madiba and other heroes and heroines. “Tata, we wish you a happy, blessed birthday and continued good health” These were the concluding words of Lekganyane and the construction of the house continued.

Ms Matjatji Rabothata the head of the deprived family which was living in a roundavel muddy house with a thatched roof which shown signs of age, was completely shocked by the developments. The family could not build themselves a decent house since Matjatji was relying on her disability grant to look after the family. “I am very happy for being granted the opportunity to own a decent shelter, more especially on this special day, birthday celebration of our icon hero Tata Nelson Mandela. I will cherish this day for the rest of my life” She said.

Meanwhile it was also an idyllic day for Sinah Madishana, who looked pretty much content with the four roomed house present that DLGH was building for her. “Now I’m rest assured that my family will be safe, come what may, I wouldn’t worry” Said Sinah fighting tears back as she spoke. “Even now I still can not believe that this is my house, I still wonder how the department tracked me down in my hard times; I thought no body cared. As from today I depend on Government to look after me and my family and I know that this Government will never forsake me” She smiled radiantly

Madishana family have been in the grip of plummeted winter degrees and a burning summer heat and heavy rains for years as the shabby shack they live in could offer less protection. The family occupied the shack after their house was accidentally bent up in 2007.

“I’m here on behalf of the MEC of Local Government and Housing Mr. Soviet Lekganyane, who is at Mopani, Mohokone today. “The house we are building for the Madishana family is a true symbolic of government commitment to housing and other basic services. It won’t end here; we will make sure that we fulfill the mandate that our people have given us. This also shows that our government cares for the people as Mandela did in his 67 years” Said the MEC of Education Dickson Masemola with a short speech before laying bricks to the house of the destitute family

The above story clearly indicate that the government is actualy doing its best to change lives opposed to the media's perspective. At first, with the little knowledge that I had, I was a bit sceptic about of services by government in the province, but know with the light that I have I tell you government is doing much in changing ordinary's people lives. The problem that I realised is that "we believe heavily on the media" which always try by all means to write everything bad about the government in order to sell their publications. Some of the stories they write about the government of course their true, but do you think evrything about the government its all bad? I dont think so.

Jabu Mahlangu skills down the drain

It is very perturbing to witness South African foot ball stars like Jabu Mahlangu forfeiting their God given talents in a slapdash fashion. I personally think that Jabu has been one of the most fortunate footballer in the country as he was given enough support from almost all big teams in the PSL and overseas.

He played for Kaizer Chiefs, Supper sport, Orlando Pirates, SV Mattersburg ,Swedish club Östers IF and Platinum Stars. All these clubs awarded him an optimum edge to realize his dreams in the world of foot ball but he kept behaving like a spoilt brat. Thanks to Muhsin Ertugral for your invaluable help you gave to Jabu, you really tried to assemble this boy as he had numerous off-field and disciplinary issues. They say you can take a horse to the river but you can’t force it to drink, so did Muhsin by taking Jabu to play in an Austrian club SV Mattersburg.

Jabu had everything going for him and he missed the boat. As we are speaking he would be one of Bafana Bafana best attacking Middlefield as we are heading to the confederation cup, yet ironically he is sent parking by his current club platinum stars owing to his renowned mysterious misconduct. I used to agree with those who used to say “when Pule is on song, the opposition dances”. He was a crowd puller at his former and first professional team, Kaizer Chiefs. Let Jabu eat a humble pie, because he has no one to blame but his attitude.

it was not an ordinary accident

According to one of the website the Masvingo-Harare road is a two lane route. The place where the crash occurred is on a kilometre-long (0.6 miles) stretch of clear road, sandwiched between two commercial farmlands. As the nation ponders on the latest tragedy, many questions are being asked and concerns are being raised over the security of government officials. How a convoy of three vehicles, with one in the middle carrying the second most important person in the land, got involved in a car crash, is what has perplexed me.

How the oncoming lorry, which apparently belonged to a partner of the US government aid agency USAID, is thought to have crossed into the prime minister's path, sideswiping the right bumper of Mr Tsvangirai's Land Cruiser, which then rolled off the highway?

If you look at the circumstances surrounding the accident, they show that there is not as much security as one would have wanted, not that you can prevent an accident, but I'm sure it must give a lot of lessons about the security framework. I have learnt that when Mugabe travells he goes with the minimum of fifteen vehicles, motor bikes and ambulances.

It's very depressing, I think happening within the first three weeks of the new inclusive government. It's unfortunate that the public will find it unbelievable and that could threaten the whole framework of the new government, especially with another cresh of onether MDC leader when he was from the Suzen Changarai funeral.

It is supprising to hear that at the clinic where Mr Tsvangirai was treated, there was heavy security, state agents and armed police. It appeared like a state expression of loyalty, to avoid giving any credence to conspiracy theories.

I couldn’t agree more with the Zimbabwen Minister of Finance Tendai Biti that Logic would have demanded that police escort be provided to warn other traffic... and this tragedy could have been avoided.
