Editor’s Note 

Freedom 

Charter – a 

blueprint 

for local 

government 

elections 

Last month I attended a 

workshop organised by 

Xolani Nxumalo - 

Editor 

Inkosi Albert Luthuli (Ilembe Region) Progressive 

Professionals Forum (IAL PPF) at KwaDukuza 

Council Chamber, in preparation for local 

government elections. It was facilitated by this 

forum’s Chairperson, Sithembiso Kubheka, the 

former Mayor of Ndwedwe Municipality. 

What emanated from that workshop is the 

importance of the Freedom Charter in local 

government elections. Kubheka emphasised the 

importance of this document in service delivery. 

He stated that the rationale behind plan for the 

ruling party to be in charge of all district and 

local municipalities, is to get an opportunity to 

implement this document. It was adopted on 

26 June 1955 in Kliptown, as a roadmap to free, 

united, non-racial, non sexist and democratic 

South Africa. It has 10 key principles which 

speak to a free, united and democratic country 

which are as follows: The people shall govern; 

All national groups shall have equal rights; The 

people shall share in the country’s wealth; The 

land shall be equally shared among those who 

work it; All shall be equal before the law; All 

shall enjoy equal rights; There shall be work and 

security; The doors of learning and culture shall 

be opened; There shall be houses, security and 

comfort; and There shall be peace and friendship. 

Kubheka said this is how a free united and 

democratic South Africa was envisaged decades 

ago and this serves as a clear mandate for the 

ruling party to execute through the use of elected 

public office and state organs. Furthermore, this 

roadmap also serves as the foundation for any 

progressive and revolutionary government policy 

seeking to change the lives of the people for the 

better. That is the reason all people are urged to 

go out in numbers to cast their vote on 3 August 

2016.

SMMEs benefitted from the 

construction of the Ballito Interchange 

Thandeka Ngidi 

The Ballito Interchange 

was officially opened by 

the National Minister 

of Transport Dipuo Peters and 

Provincial MEC for this department 

Mxolisi Kaunda, at an event held in 

Shakashead Sports field recently. 

They were also part of the delegation 

that started with laying of the wreath 

at the taxi and train accident scene 

that took place in Shakashead last 

year. At the actual event, people also 

observed a moment of silence for 

accident victims including Thulani 

Mashaba, an ANC leader from the 

Musa Dladla Region who also lost 

his life in a road near Ballito last 

year. 

The construction of this project 

commenced in January 2011 and 

was completed in July 2014. It is 

funded by SANRAL with the final 

investment amounting to R123 

million. Apart from improving 

the road infrastructure, SANRAL 

is also contributing to economic 

empowerment and poverty 

alleviation by ensuring that small, 

medium and micro enterprises 

(SMMEs) are exposed to work 

experience that would otherwise 

not have been possible. A number 

of SMMEs were involved with the 

construction of this interchange 

accounting to an investment 

amounting to 18% of the total 

contract value, said Nazir Ali, CEO 

of SANRAL. He also urged young 

people to finish their studies as 

SANRAL has bursaries to offer those 

interested in the construction and 

MEC Mxolisi Kaunda speaking at the official opening of Ballito Interchange 

engineering field. 

Kaunda said that the bridge which 

forms part of the interchange 

brings unity amongst residents as 

it brings together all road users. 

He talked about the importance 

of the interchange in fast tracking 

traffic going to and from the Dube 

Tradeport. Other reasons for 

improving the interchange was that 

of looking at the current and future 

traffic demands generated by the 

proposed developments surrounding 

the Ballito area and the King Shaka 

International Airport nearby. 

MEC Peters urged people to be 

vigilant when using the roads 

as many accident memorials are 

surrounding South African roads 

and these accidents could have 

been prevented if people would 

stop driving at a very high speed 

and under the influence of liquor.

The big tree of the SMMEs has fallen

Empowerment (BEE) concept and 

prominent businessman, Donald 

Dawort Bongani Mkhwanazi (63),

great blow to the business fraternity 

and African National Congress

of Zululand and University 

of KwaZulu-Natal, was one of the 

masterminds behind the establishment 

of African Bank as a member 

of National Federated Chamber of 

Commerce and Industries (Nafcoc). 

At that time Nafcoc was under the 

leadership of Dr Sam Motsoenyane. 

He was born in Durban and operated 

most of his business interests 

within the KwaZulu-Natal province.

and Co-Chairperson of Finance & 

Investment Subcommittee of the US/

He was also a director of 

his company Don Mkhwanazi Client 

Project. He also served as a board 

member of Transnet. 

Office A,Suite 13, Sanhall Office Park,1 Kirsty Close, Ballito, 4420, www.smme-news.co.za

Nonto’s Business Corner 

Always go local 

Women making a difference 

We visit Zama Phakathi Foundation 

– Support South 

African products 

Recently there was a decision 

made by Sabc to play 90% 

local music, which has already 

helped people within the music 

industry by widening the gap for 

new artists to enter into the market. 

That decision was well received by 

South Africans. Is there also a need 

for a similar situation within other 

markets such as clothing, produce and 

technology to increase local buying? 

Take a look at your shoes, now your 

watch, then think back to what you 

had for breakfast. How many of those 

things do you know are produced 

locally ? Supporting Proudly South 

African products is something we 

all know we should do, but very 

Funding 

few people make a conscious effort 

to do. We have all heard of the 

benefits of buying locally it creates 

jobs which helps boost the local 

market, it also has a lower impact on 

the environment. Yet despite these 

positives there is still a shortage of 

consumers who buy only local. 

That may be drastic, the decision to 

buy local shouldn’t be forced onto 

the consumer. It should be decision 

made by the customer unconsciously 

realizing that the product has more 

value. The advantage that local 

businesses have is that they are on the 

ground and more in touch with the 

needs of the local consumers. Local 

producers should be meeting those 

needs at the right price. A majority of 

South Africans are not aware of the 

importance of where the item is made 

so they are decisions are based on 

practicality and affordability. 

So in order to encourage local buying 

you as an entrepreneur must pay 

attention to the competitors and 

understand the needs of the South 

African buyer, so that they buy a local 

product not out of patriotism but 

because it is the best option. 

Survey question ? Do you try to buy 

strictly local products ? 

• Yes 

• No 

• I don’t even pay attention

building simply with bricks and mortar 

but it also builds SMMEs through our 

incubation programme and community 

development programme Siyavuselela. 

The Siyavuselela social development 

programme rebuilds schools, tertiary 

buildings, churches, hospitals and the 

townships. The aim is to make sure that 

when we go into a community to work 

we not only construct a building and 

but to leave the area in a better position 

then they were be before we arrived.” 

Ncala also emphasizes the importance 

of having your paper work in order even 

if it’s to help in the community make 

sure you have a ‘social licence’ bring 

on board the relevant stakeholders and 

constituents so they are able to empower 

the masses. Bringing on board the 

relevant stakeholders is exactly what 

makes BASA more than just an awards 

show for construction. The other half of 

BASA also provides builders workshops 

and an R&D unit with various topics 

under the theme of build a better 

tomorrow while celebrating today’s 

success. 

“We have achieved a lot as a nation 

we now have black construction at a 

grade 6 level, women and youth, that is 

success. But we still have gaps people 

at construction sites are hired and fired 

at will with no contracts or letters of 

appointment so they get no benefits, 

issues of foreplan ,and occupational 

health and safety etc we can’t sit around 

and point at who is doing what wrong 

but we can find the gaps and work on 

them.” Bass hopes to get the ball rolling 

in doing just that

Understanding Costing and Pricing 

By Phumelela Projects 

One way to prepare for this is 

to save any profit you make so 

that have some ‘spare’ money 

to see you through these difficult times 

or that you can use to pay someone 

else to keep your business running 

when you can’t do it yourself. 

Costs 

Remember – the basic materials you 

need to make a product, for example, 

cotton, fabric, needles, are called the 

raw materials for making clothes. The 

goods you sell are your stock. Think of 

a day in your business, from the time 

you get up in the morning, to catching 

the bus or taxi to your business, then 

making your product or selling your 

goods or service, until when you finally 

return home. 

All businesses have three main kinds of 

costs: Startup costs, changing costs and 

fixed costs. 

Start-up costs 

Start-up costs are all the costs you will 

incur when you start your business. 

They include items you buy only 

once, like equipment or machinery, 

as well as raw materials or stock. They 

also include things like licenses and 

deposits which are not part of your 

monthly costs. Some businesses need 

more money to start than others, but 

you will always need some money 

to invest in your new business. Ask 

yourself the following questions: 

• How much money do I have to put 

into the business? 

• Do I need to get a loan to cover my 

startup costs? 

• Where would I get such a loan? 

• What interest would I pay on a loan, 

over what period of time? 

Changing / variable costs 

The costs that go directly into making 

or growing your product, offering 

your service or selling your goods, are 

called changing or variable costs. They 

are called variable costs because they 

change each month, depending on how 

many products you make or goods 

or services you sell. A dressmaker’ 

variable costs could include needles, 

cotton and fabric. While a vegetable 

farmer’s variable costs would include 

seed, fertilizer and pest control 

products. 

And the builder’s changing costs would 

include bricks, concrete, nails and 

paint. 

Fixed costs 

All the other costs of running the 

business, such as rent, salaries and 

wages and loan repayments, are 

called fixed costs. These costs do not 

go directly into making the product 

or offering the service but are as 

important for running the whole 

business. They are sometimes called 

the running costs or overheads. Most 

of your running costs are fixed costs 

which stay the same each month. 

A farmer’s fixed costs could include 

time and labor, salary, and loan 

repayment. 

While a builder’s fixed costs would 

include rent, time and labor, salary and 

rent. 

Pricing 

It is very important when we 

are starting our business that we 

understand all the costs involved so 

that we can charge the right price for 

our goods or service and still make 

a profit. It I important that we also 

consider the salary we need to pay 

ourselves. Although we are working for 

ourselves, we still need to earn a salary 

so that we can live and pay our own 

expenses that we had when we used to 

work for a boss. Even though we work 

for ourselves we still have to pay rent 

for our home and buy food for our 

family. 

So, it is important that you remember 

to include a salary in your fixed costs. 

You need to be practical about how 

much you pay yourself, especially 

at the beginning. It may be that you 

have to pay yourself a lower salary 

to start off with and then when your 

business gets going, you can increase 

your salary little by little. Budgeting is 

very important when we start our own 

business. 

Let’s look at these examples: 

Thandi mzini wants to start selling 

sweets and cold drinks at the market 

near the bus station. She has heard that 

there is good money to be made in this 

business. Thandi estimated how much 

she will need to start up her stall. 

Her startup period is 3 months and 

then she believes she will be making 

enough money (profit) for the business 

to support itself. Thandi has R1500 of 

her own. She manages to get a loan of 

another R1500. She must pay back the 

loan over 12 months with 20% interest. 

20% of R1500 = R300 

R1500 + R300 = R1800 

R1800 divided by 12 months = R150.00 

This means that Thandi must budget 

(allow for) R150 each month that 

she has to pay to repay her loan. 

In addition, she needs to take into 

account all other costs as well as the 

salary she wants to earn from her 

business. 

Is she wanted to earn R800 per month 

to start and she need to buy a table to 

put into her stall and some stock then 

she needs to work out what her costs 

would be: 

Repay loan = R150 

Salary = R800 

Tressle table = 80 

Stock = R250 

Total costs would be: 

R150+R800+R80+R250 = R1280.00 

(To be continued).

Saving the Youth 

through Volleyball 


Ryan Mdlalose is dedicated 

to taking young people of 

Macambini off the streets 

through volleyball. 

Since last year he has been teaching 

a group of young people how to 

play this sport at Macambini Sports 

ground. This ambitious team has 

already participated in a handful of 

tournaments thus far coming short 

on several occasions but their spirit 

remains solid. Since volleyball is not 

a popular sport, Ryan and his troops 

host tournaments from time to time 

as they look to test their strengths 

against teams from Ndulinde and 

Mandeni. “My aim is to see young 

people progressing in this sport, I 

always tell these young boys that 

there are endless opportunities” said 

Ryan speaking about his dreams for 

the team. Although sponsors are 

hard to come by, these young people 

are adamant that one day someone 

will invest in their dream. “Our 

biggest problem right now is the 

playing field. It is not favuorable and 

also we do not have a proper playing 

kit” further commented Mdlalose. 

It is worth mentioning that this is 

the only volleyball team in this area, 

despite that setback Ryan hopes that 

one day his team can be recognized 

and mentioned in the same breath 

as soccer and rugby teams. “A huge 

number of our players are students 

and I also understand that during 

exams they have to focus on their 

studies because the aim is to also 

ensure they do well at school” 

concluded Mdlalose.
