R15m stadium ‘a waste
of taxpayers’ money’
Cogta MEC gives EMLM 48 hours to provide a report
ZINTLE BOBELO
Co-operative governance and
traditional affairs (Cogta) MEC
Xolile Nqatha said the
controversial R15m sports field in
Lesseyton clearly appeared to be a waste
of taxpayers’ money, stating during his
visit to the facility on Thursday that
people had to be held accountable.
Nqatha further gave council speaker
Bongiwe Van Heerden 48 hours to
provide a report on what steps she
would take to ensure councillors who
were present at the unveiling of the
sports field, dressed in ANC regalia,
would be held accountable.
“That, from where we stand as
government, has put the municipality
into disrepute.
“The speaker who is responsible for
the code of conduct of councillors must
provide a report within 48 hours while I
continue with the investigation.
“If I am not happy with her response I
will have to then take the matter up
myself. That will include, depending on
how she responds, giving the councillors
48 hours on why they cannot be
s u s p e n d e d .”
This follows the unveiling of the
below-standard R15m sports field,
reportedly initially budgeted for R22m,
which caused widespread criticism on
social media.
Nqatha said the public had every
reason to be as outraged as he was.
“What is clear here is that we have to
forge ahead with the investigation as
Cogta and ensure there are
consequences for whoever is said to
have been responsible.
“I am not a technical expert but what
I have seen and what I have read, there is
no value for money here.
“There has got to be accountability
as to whether due processes were
followed in appointing the service
provider. It clearly appears to be wastage
of taxpayers’ m o n e y.”
Nqatha said the red tape normally
used to cordone off a crime scene that
was used during the unavailing was
appropriate for the occasion as the
sports field was indeed a suspected
crime scene.
DA leader Helen Zille, who did a
mini tour around the facility after
descending on the area on Thursday,
said using R15m to construct a
substandard facility showed contempt
towards the impoverished community.
“The running track looks as if grass
has just been cut on a field and a bit of
white paint poured in various places that
has already faded and eroded.
“This is a stadium that was budgeted
for R22m, R7m cannot be accounted for,
you can hardly get to the stadium
because of the roads and when you
come here it is not even worthy of the
name stadium,” Zille said.
“This is another get rich quick
scheme from some ANC cadre who has
clearly benefited from this contract.”
EMLM manager Nokuthula Zondani
was, however, adamant that open tender
processes were done and that the
amount was spent accordingly.
“We are in a position to supply all
the necessary documentation. There has
been a lot of work done underneath that
people are not in a position to see but
fortunately we do have technical experts
that can elaborate further on what has
been done and spent.”
Zondani said the municipality would
fully cooperate in any investigation.
In a statement, EMLM spokesperson
Lonwabo Kowa said the municipality
regretted the manner in which the initial
announcement on social media of
M o n d ay ’s handover was shared, saying
minimal details were provided.
Kowa said the project scope entailed
the erection of 780m palisade fencing
and the construction of a rugby and
soccer field (site clearing, layering of
grounds), as well as rock blasting.
“The project scope also entailed
earth works – excavation and levelling of
grounds, layer works G5 imported subbase
layer; 13mm crushed stone which
is 75mm thick; top soil and transplanting
of kikuyu grass, athletics track – g ra s s e d
track – layers of crush stone, drainage
system to ensure its viability, ablution
facilities [two blocks] – construction of
14 toilets and eight showers, change
rooms – showers and benches, borehole
drilling, equipping and water
reticulation installation, rain water
catchment tank, high rise water main
tank, sewer system with sceptic tank,
electrical installation, guard house and
steel grand stands,” he said.
The EFF has called for the arrest of
municipal officials and said in a
statement that it had opened a case
against the municipality.
The ANC provincial executive
committee and the regional leadership
in the Chris Hani district made a site visit
to the facility on Tuesday and called on
the EMLM to do a forensic investigation.
“The ANC will not be hesitant to act
on those who have committed any form
of wrongdoing,” elections provincial
coordinator Mzonke Ndabeni said.

EFF dump rotten meat in office
Members protest at EMLM over power outage, claiming elections sabotage may be behind it
ZINTLE BOBELO and LUVUYO MJEKULA
An extended power outage in Komani Street
left EFF members with no choice but to
protest inside the Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipality (EMLM) technical services office on
Monday, where they dumped rotten raw meat
which they claimed had been spoilt by the
electricity outage.
Lindani Mdlokolo, of the EFF, said the five-day
power interruption had affected daily operations
at the party’s offices situated in the area.
“This is an office that works closely with
community members. We deal with cases
affecting community members because when you
are the vanguard of the community there are a lot
of cases that come to your attention.
“We have documents that we need to make
copies of. For five days we were without
electricity. Food that was refrigerated was later
rotten as a result of the outage.”
Mdlokolo said an effort to communicate the
matter to the ward councillor was made.
He said the matter was also reported to some
of the EFF members.
“We decided to take this upon ourselves.
We had to take out the spoilt food from the
refrigerators and show them the situation so they
could also experience the pungent odour we were
e x p e r i e n c i n g .”
He added that the outage could have been
political sabotage.
“This is election time and this office belongs to
a political organisation. For them to derail our
political programme, power had to be cut off. That
is why we had to reach that conclusion.”
When The Rep arrived at the technical services
offices, municipal employees who could not bear
the stench sat outside as they waited for the
building to be cleared.
Mdlokolo said the power had been restored on
M o n d ay.
Meanwhile, residents in Phola Park,
Nkululekweni, Khayelitsha, Nomzamo, Railway,
Magxaki and Eskom also experienced electricity
cuts, with no power for four days.
Last week, the municipality had indicated on
its Facebook page that a power line in the Phola
Park area was burnt, resulting in low voltage in
those areas.
Some households had no electricity, while
some were unable to connect normally.
Amberdale and Madeira were also recently
affected due to a cable fault, according to the
m u n i c i p a l i t y.
Community members of Mkwayi, Sigxeshe
and Mongalo streets in Nomzamo said they had
lost appliances, food and their patience due to
non-stop power outages over the years.
Speaking on behalf of the residents after
another futile visit to the Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipality’s technical services department to
seek assistance, Nontsikelelo Mahela said the
community felt they were being treated unfairly.
Mahela explained that their power problems
got worse in winter.
“We only have electricity about twice a week.
When it does come back, it goes on and off all the
time, sometimes about 10 times a day.”
She said their dispute with neighbouring
Marikana informal settlement over illegal
connections had still not been resolved.
According to Mahela, residents of Marikana
had made illegal electricity connections from
certain homes in Nomzamo, causing a system
overload that resulted in persistent power cuts.
The municipality, in partnership with the
police, had gone on a door-to-door drive to cut
the illegal connections but the problem soon
resurfaced. They attributed this to the upcoming
local government elections.
“Marikana has many potential voters and the
municipality would not want to lose those votes.
“Our issue will probably receive attention only
after the elections,” Mahela said.
“We have had no electricity for the past two
days and we do not know if there will be power
when we return home.
“We don’t get help from the technical services
department any more. They avoid taking our calls
because they know our numbers by now.”
The situation is so bad they have to ask foreign
shopowners for airtime to make calls to the
municipality. When that does not help, they come
together as residents, collect money among
themselves and take taxis to the municipal offices.
“My plasma TV was damaged and I had to buy
another one. We are struggling despite that we
have electricity boards and are paying rates.
“We are in pain,” said Mahela.
EMLM spokesperson Lonwabo Kowa did not
respond by the time of going to print.

The Hawks embarked on a human
trafficking awareness campaign in
Chris Hani this week, as the district
is one of the regions affected by the
problem, which includes children.
The campaign was led by EC
H aw k s ’ spokesperson, Captain
Yoliswa Mgolodela, representative
Captain Lulama Jack and Petros
Majola of children’s rights
organisation Khula Community
D e ve l o p m e n t .
Majola said: “We had an
incident where a woman from
Ezibeleni sold her 11- year-old
daughter to marry a 65-year-old
man for money.’’
He said in Cala, a woman was
currently in court for having sold
her baby.
Another case he mentioned was
that of three women and a man who
were sentenced to 24 years’
imprisonment for trafficking a 12-
year-old girl for sex to a Bangladeshi
in Whittlesea for money.
“The Bangladeshi man was
sentenced to life imprisonment for
raping the girl,” Majola said.
Mgolodela said: “Human
trafficking affects people in a
number of ways.
“Some are made sex slaves,
others are exploited through hard
labour while others are forced to
become porn stars and they use
drugs. Victims can be taken from
their homes to other cities or
countries. Sometimes you hear that
someone was found dead with
missing body parts.’’
She said some parents sold their
daughters at a tender age for
marriage to much older men, while
others sold their children for sex to
make money.
Mgolodela said the awareness
campaign was embarked on to
make local people aware of the
problem, as some became victims
due to their lack of knowledge.
Poverty was one of the reasons
behind the problem.
She said some victims fell prey
after responding to fake highpaying
jobs advertised on social
media.
“We will also be meeting with
traditional leaders because some of
these cases occur in villages.’’
She advised that if people were
suspicious of the legitimacy of a
certain job or a bursary, they should
report it to the police.
A meeting was set for this week
to discuss matters concerning
human trafficking in the region.
A roadblock was also held on
the N6 to make motorists aware.
Today (Friday), the awareness
campaign will conclude with the
launch of a book by Zintle Feza,
who was trafficked from Komani to
Hillbrow in Johannesburg in 2011
at the age of 16. The title of her
book is Neglected.

Artist’s signed
print auctioned to
boost SPCA coffers
Blue Crane on canvas sold for R2,800 — R2,300
given to the animal welfare centre
ZINTLE BOBELO
A showcase of creative
paintings of nature and Eastern
Cape scenes was exhibited at a
cheese and wine auction and
preview evening in Top Town
last week Thursday.
The art exhibition, which
was set to run throughout the
weekend, featured works for
sale by the host, Magdel Jerrard,
and her students, Nadine Botha,
Anne Moore, Chux Fourie and
Maggie Dreyer.
“I have been painting for
many years and it has always
been a passion for me to try get
people to recognise their own
talent.
“Art has always been
important, since I was a child. I
was always aware of nature and
a n i m a l s ,” said Jerrard.
With Covid-19 having
disrupted social activities,
Jerrard birthed the idea of
exhibiting her own work at her
studio.
“We have little going on in
the community at the moment.
“It has been a big step for me
and I was encouraged by my
daughter and my husband. They
wanted me to experience the
joy of having people share my
t a l e n t ,” she said.
“You can never be too old to
paint and be creative.
“Very often I look at an
empty canvas and think, what
am I going to put on there, and
then it just comes to me.”

was auctioned to assist the organisation at a recent art
exhibition Picture: ZINTLE BOBELO
An unforgettable piece that
Jerrard still holds close to her
heart is an elephant she painted
for her daughter in 2001.
She said aspiring artists with
a passion for painting needed to
pick up the brush and paint
what they saw.
“Very often I find myself
hesitant. I ask myself ‘Can I
really create the beauty that I
see?’
“You doubt yourself, but as
the years go by you gain
confidence.
“Young artists struggle with
that. It is always amazing to see
them grow and the joy when
they have completed a picture.”
A Blue Crane signed print on
canvas was auctioned for
R2,800, of which R2,300 was
given to the SPCA.
“Animals are neglected and
the SPCA is in need,” said
Je r ra r d .
Marguerite Moorcroft of the
SPCA welcomed the donation.
“Once again, people are
giving to us and we are grateful.
All of this will be put to good
u s e ,” Moorcroft said.
EMLM head’s appointment in dispute
ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA
The Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality (EMLM)
administration authority may appear to be
undermined by the municipal manager after the
technical service department director was
appointed without the administrator’s approval.
This was revealed in a leaked email addressed
by the administrator, Monwabisi Somana, to
municipal manager, Nokuthula Mgijima, on
September 1, when the subject read:
“Appointment of staff on the payroll without the
pre-approval of the administrator.”
The unstable relationship between the two
crucial powers in the municipality is nothing new.
It was one of the areas that a standing
committee on public accounts (Scopa) report
stated would be looked into.
In the email, the administrator clearly states
clauses 4(a) and (k) as the terms of reference
which outline the role and responsibility of the
administrator against the municipal manager, as
conferred on the administrator by the MEC.
“The municipal manager will continue to
perform her other powers that are not related to
financial management, but everything that has
financial implication must first be ratified by the
administrator, and [k].
“The municipal manager shall present to the
administrator all reports [including recruitment]
that have financial implications before them being
presented to political structures. The final
approval of any recruitment will have to be
granted by the administrator,’’ Somana wrote.
In the email, the administrator said
appointments had been presented to him for final
a p p r ova l .
He added that, as had been previously
communicated to Mgijima, such appointments
were considered irregular and could not be
affected. ‘’Any cost incurred for deviation thereto
will be carried by those responsible for such
appointments.
“Also, be reminded that the municipality is
currently in court over unlawful appointments at a
great cost to the fiscus of the municipality.’’
In response to the email in which she copied
the mayor, Luleka Gubula, and the CFO, Mgijima
wrote: “It is with regret that the administrator is
unable to interpret the terms of reference [TROs]
or is selective of interpreting and applying these
T R O s .”
An insider said the appointment still happened
in spite of the technical service director,
Nkosinkulu Zwelethemba, not being registered
with the council of engineers, adding that a
similar incident had occurred in the employment
process of the current supply chain manager and
the revenue manager who, according to him, did
not meet the requirements of the positions.
The source said the municipal manager and
the CFO were hell-bent on undermining the
authority of the municipality.
“It is not appropriate for them to flout every
regulation to do with the benefaction of people
who do not meet the requirements, neither qualify
nor have the capacity to deliver to Enoch Mgijima
people.
“The revenue manager does not meet the
requirement, he does not have the necessary
qualifications the advert requires or meet supply
chain management, ’’ the insider said.
They also flouted the policy of recruitment.
There is an email from the executive mayor,
Luleka Gubula, where she says this needs to stop.
EMLM spokesperson Lonwabo Kowa said:
“The issues and correspondence in question are
internal matters.
“A statement will be issued when any of these
matters become issues of public interest.”

MBALENTLE STOFU
The Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM)
and the department of health launched their leg
of the national Vuma Vaccination Weekends
campaign in Whittlesea last week, a few days
after president Cyril Ramaphosa announced the
programme while addressing the nation.
The government aims to use the campaign to
intensify its Covid-19 vaccine rollout on
weekends, to get to the target of vaccinating
70% of the country’s population by the end of
the year.
The local institutions also used the launch in
Whittlesea to educate and encourage residents
to vaccinate, while notifying them about their
i t i n e ra r y.
Door-to-door vaccinations would ensure
people were vaccinated in the comfort of their
homes, they told the residents.
CHDM mayor Wongama Gela assessed the
process and was pleasantly surprised by the
good turnout by men.
“I am happy that men came in numbers.
Normally women are the ones who come out
most to be vaccinated.
“People need to be educated about the
vaccine – there are myths circulating that are
making people sceptical and wary.
“We would like to change that and that is the
reason why I came out to educate and comfort
people that none of the statements are true and
to encourage them to be vaccinated,’’ the mayor
said.
Local resident Yanga Dinga said: “I was
vaccinated today and there is not much I am
feeling but I appeal to the youth to be vaccinated
and not sit at home and be scared.”
Nomabandla Phanya, a human immuno
virus programme manager in Enoch Mgijima,
said: “The purpose of this is to bring services
closer to people who cannot reach them and feel
they are too far so that we also reach the aimed
percentage of the population. This is to combat
the spread of the virus.
“It offers protection to an individual and
people around them by reducing the risk of
infection or severity of the symptoms.’’

Fields of
n i g h t m a re s
Little did I know when I
saw a Facebook post by
the Enoch Mgijima
Municipality that they
would be opening a sports
stadium at Lesseyton, that I
would be walking into an
intense media storm.
I have been keeping tabs on
the progress of that field since it
was started in 2019 because, as
a sports practitioner, I had a
vested interest in the
development of such a facility in
that village.
When I rushed there on
Monday to actually witness the
handover and finally be able to
check it out properly, I had not
expected that such a seemingly
innocuous event would turn out
to be the number one trending
bit of news in the entire c o u n t r y.
I have never seen such a
furore caused by four poorly
thought-out pieces of
photography. If this was meant
to be a feel-good story and
intended to show that the ANCled
municipality is delivering
services to the most
marginalised communities, it
has blown up in their faces.
I do feel sorry for the
communications people in that
municipality who will now be
used as the sacrificial lambs and
blamed for the whole PR
disaster this sports stadium has
become.
When you intend to host an
event of this nature in the very
charged-up atmosphere of
elections, you must think long
and hard about how you go
about doing it.
What I saw when I arrived at
the field on Monday at about
1.15pm was the exact antithesis
of what needs to be done when
hosting such an event. Anyway,
that is not my business.
During the event, no one
mentioned that the cost of the
project they were handing over
was a whopping R15m.
I nearly fell off my chair a
IN TOUCH
Phumelele P Hlati
couple of hours later when I saw
the Facebook post by the
m u n i c i p a l i t y.
I know the area the field is
built on is particularly rocky
underneath and e x t e n s ive
earthworks were done to get it
to the level needed, but n e ve r
imagined the overall cost wo u l d
amount to R15m.
I am sure the forensic audit
or a release of the detailed cost
breakdown would help explain
it. I am not holding my breath,
though. The story has now got
legs and will probably trend for
the next few weeks at least.
This particular municipality
has been very callous when it
comes to sport.
Almost all the sporting
facilities under it have collapsed
and are in a deep state of decay
and neglect.
They keep spending millions
of tax payer’s money to erect
them, then either leave them
unfinished like at Ilinge or do
half jobs like at Lesseyton.
We thank the election
fervour for the attention they are
now getting.
How do you hand over such
a major project without inviting
any of the established sports
bodies in the area?
The municipality should go
back and hold someone
accountable for this whole mess
and relook at their dismal
attitude towards sport and sport
facilities.
KOMANI WEATHER

mostly sunny. There will be a moderate breeze and the maximum
temperature will be 29°C.
On Saturday the temperatures will range between 7 and 24°C at
the maximum and it will be partly cloudy, with the breeze picking
up somewhat.
There will just be a gentle wind on Sunday, which will dawn at

Learning to write in PR
gives one the upper hand
In my PR degree years, I was never taught
how to write. Yes, I was taught the basics of
h ow the media works, but not how to craft
a story.
Because of my passion for writing and
my persistence, I was lucky enough earlier
in my communication career to get a
mentor who was willing to teach me how
to write.
I think without knowing – my love for
words started in school because the subject
that I e n j oye d most at Queenstown Girls
High was English.
When I started my career in PR,
I actually wished I had done journalism
instead.
Though I wasn’t taught how to write
during my tertiary education years, it didn’t
stop me from pursuing my dream to learn
how to write.
I knew I wouldn’t be the best
PR/communication expert I wanted to be if
I didn’t know what made a good story.
I also knew early in my career that it
would be difficult to sell a story to a
journalist if I didn’t know how to come up
with a newsworthy angle.
The ability to write in PR gives any
communication professional an upper
hand over their peers, even when applying
for a specific job in this area of expertise.
My passion to write helped me become
the PR professional I am today.
However, over the years, I made
the mistake of thinking I could turn any PR
hopeful into a writer as well.
My old-school colleagues and I have
learnt the hard way that some young PR
professionals are just not meant to be
MUSICAL STYLING

writers, no matter how hard we tried to
teach or train them – they just didn’t

That is why, in some big PR agencies,
you find people who are specifically hired
as in-house writers, while others are client
service managers who take briefs from
clients, coordinate everyone who services
that client and makes sure e ve r yo n e
delivers according to the expectations.
Over the years, my love and ability to
write worked to my advantage because it
turned me into an all-rounder.
Instead of relying on a writer to take
my client brief and draft a story – I have,
over the last two decades, been able to turn
business ideas into compelling stories.
As much as this became an advantage
for me, especially when companies were
thinking of downsizing and retrenching, my
essential skills and consistent delivery
helped me avo i d being considered for the
YO U R VOICE opinions on the street
cut. However, this also worked against me
at times and a lot of PR professionals who
are writers will understand this.
Being efficient and knowing how to turn
around stories at a moment’s notice also
became a curse because it gave my
colleagues the impression that writing is
e a s y.
In most of the corporates I worked in, I
found a lot of colleagues expecting me to
write something quickly. To quote them
verbatim, they’d say: “Please write a story
quickly for me, I’m sure you can just slap
something together in 30 m i n u t e s .”
Someone who doesn’t know what it
takes to write a good story thinks it’s easy to
just churn out stories.
For most writers, if we had to write a
story when we got to the office in the
morning, we’d start preparing the angle and
writing it in our heads beforehand.
If we didn’t do that homework in our
heads, we would end up staring at a blank
page or producing sub-standard work.
However, I would like to encourage
young PR professionals to take the time to
learn to write because this will always give
one an advantage.

The Rep recently
reported that plans were
afoot to build a shopping
mall at Ezibeleni after
years of waiting. Intern
Mbalentle Stofu asked
Komani residents for
their thoughts about the
d e ve l o p m e n t .
Mncedisi Kamati
of Victoria Park
This will be a great
SIPHO
MAHASHANA
opportunity to create
jobs. Considering
Ezibeleni is quite far
from town now they will
not have to travel to
town to buy groceries
and everything will be
close. I am happy.
Sipho Mahashana
of Newvale
I am very happy
about this initiative. It
LINDA
TYEPUSI
truly shows that our
government cares about
our people. The thought
of bringing services
closer is good because
sometimes I would see
them struggling to get
transport to town.
Linda Tyepusi
of Kings Park
I am excited for our
town, I hope this is true
CHRISTINE
PLETZEN
because people lie
about such things,
especially when
elections are close.
Christine Pletzen
of Top Town
I think this a great idea,
considering that people
are in need of jobs and
good quality products
and the services will be
much closer to the
MELI
SIWUNDLA
people of Ezibeleni.
Meli Siwundla
of Army Base
I am happy for the youth
of Queenstown. These
days jobs are scarce. This
is an opportunity for
them to be employed
and at least they will not
have to travel to buy
goods. They will now be
able to walk.

Rollout of national
Aarto is on track
REP REPORTER
The implementation of all
four phases of the Aarto
national rollout
programme, announced on July
1, is on track, according to a
statement from the Road Traffic
Infringement Agency (RTIA).
“We look forward to Phase
Four on July 1 2022, when the
Points Demerit System and
Driver Rehabilitation
Programmes will become a
reality for non-compliant road
u s e r s ,” the statement said.
The agency earlier
announced the phased Aarto
(Administrative Adjudication of
Road Traffic Offences Act)
national rollout programme
would begin on July 1 this year.
In the statement, it was
pointed out that the last phase of
the rollout programme would
wrap up the entire
implementation by July 1 next
year, with the Points Demerit
System and Driver
Rehabilitation Programmes

being introduced. “The phased
rollout approach being the first
of its kind in South Africa and
the continent is progressing as
planned, simultaneously
addressing system challenges
and dependencies that
accompany such a critical road
safety intervention,” the
statement said.
Phase One, from July to
September this year, has seen
the agency increase its national
footprint through the
implementation of seven Aarto
service outlets and online
services such as the Aarto
website and deployment of the
Aarto mobile application.
Phase Two in the period
between October and
December this year will witness
the proclamation of the Aarto
Act 46, of 1998, as amended in
67 local and metropolitan
municipal areas coming online
with the Aarto process.
This is accompanied by the
appointment of the independent
Appeals Tribunal and
11210
Tenders
introduction of electronic
service of documents.
Implementation partners in the
Aarto value chain are all on
board as the preparations for the
full-scale national rollout are
intensifying.
There is an adjustment of the
current incremental
introduction of Phase Two,
projected to culminate on
December 1 this year, to
coincide with the National
Road Safety festive season
programme launch.
The agency, in its July
statement, was transparent with
the challenges that accompany
the implementation of such a
huge project, aimed to address
road safety and compliance
with road traffic laws.
The department of transport
oversight committee is
managing the implementation
of Aarto with all key
stakeholders, together with the
lead entity, the Road Traffic
Infringement Agency, under the
guidance of its board.

Junior soccer stars in warm up for league
ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA
The Komani Safa junior soccer
league for Under 15 and U13
kick-started on Monday after
some of the teams took part in a
pre-season tournament to gear
themselves up over the weekend.
Phoenix FC proved to be in
good shape after beating Aces by 5-
2 in the final at the Dumpy Adams
Stadium on Saturday.
The victory followed after
Phoenix FC had beaten DMD by 3-
0 in the semifinals, while Aces beat
Kaizer United 2-1.
Enoch Mgijima junior league
convener Ringo Klaas said 16 U15
and 18 U13 teams were competing
in the league, which was divided
into streams A and B.
Klaas said Phoenix Bird FC,
Kaizer United, Black Stars, Aces
and Real Rovers were the only
football clubs with U10 grassroot
teams that would compete
tomorrow (Saturday).
Tomorrow the girls are also set
for their share of action when the
U15 teams from Kaizer United,
Phoenix Bird FC, Black Stars,
Valgas and 7 Stars will play.
Phoenix, Kaizer United and 7
Stars are the only clubs with teams
for U13 girls.
Klaas said girls were a priority
structure in Safa and the grassroots
teams were crucial in the league
and formed part of the Safa
technical master plan 2022 vision.
“We cannot end the season
without allowing the juniors to
compete in the league, especially
with the disruption of Covid-19 that
prevented pupils from being active
in sport for so long.
“This is why we are making use
of the opportunity the school
holiday has presented us.’’
He said the Komani and
Ntabethemba zones had began
with the league, while Ezibeleni,
Ilinge, Machibini, Dongwe and
Whittlesea were yet to begin.
Springboks
back on top
of the world
MAXWELL LEVINE
South Africa reclaimed the No 1
ranking from New Zealand after a
pulsating Rugby Championship match
on the Australian Gold Coast with a
tantalising 83rd minute penalty by
Elton Jantjies to beat their All Blacks
arch rivals 31-29.
The Springboks endured a gloomy
tour of Australia, losing three matches
on the trot. This was after the highs of
a British & Irish Lions tour win and
kicking off their Rugby Championship
with two wins against Argentina.
They started the Australasian tour
with back to back defeats to the
Wallabies, which culminated in the
All Blacks taking the No 1 spot in the
World Rankings going into the 100th
Test match between the two sides.
The All Blacks defeated the Boks
19-17 in the 100th test match between
the two sides, which made it three
losses for the World Champions.
In the aftermath of that defeat and
in the weeks leading up to the 100th
Test, the Boks were slated in the world
media as being “b o r i n g ,” having no
tactical acumen, a game plan that was
unattractive and relying too much on
the kick-and-chase game.
The final match between the
Springboks and All Blacks was set to
be an epic affair. It was in this match
that the Boks had to prove to everyone
that they are a force to be reckoned
with.
Belief, brutal strength, bloodymindedness,
ball skills, breakdown
bastardry, and pure brawn were the
key factors in turning around their
HIGH SPIRITS: The Springboks elated after their hard-fought victory against the All Blacks Springboks end Rugby
Championship third, but top world rankings AAP Image/Dave Hunt via REUTERS
fortunes and playing like a world
champion team. The Bok triumph in
the last match was built on the
foundation of Eben Etzebeth, Malcolm
Marx, Duane Vermeulen, Steven
Kitshoff, Lood de Jager, Siya Kolisi,
Kwagga Smith and Bongi Mbonambi
up front, who tormented the
opposition with brute force.
That laid a perfect attacking
platform for the backs, with South
Africa on the day, balancing the
kicking and attacking game perfectly.
The main turning point was the
substitutions. First the entire front row
went on to the field in the 38th minute
and the tactical substitutions of
bringing in Elton Jantjies in at pivot for
Sbu Nkosi, and Frans Steyn at fullback
for Willie le Roux, who had a terrible
game.
Elton Jantjies turned hero after
slotting the final penalty. His
contribution was immense after
coming on as a sub, assisting in
Makazole Mapimpi’s try, slotting two
penalties and a drop goal.
It was probably the best
performance by the Springboks in this
season’s Rugby Championship,
particularly producing second half
performances in their last two matches
that were a difference from teams of
the past, who could not play past the
80th minute.
With the win the Springboks are
firmly placed back at the top of the
World rankings and will be heading to
their end of the year tour brimming
with confidence and with renewed
energy after spending two weeks with
their families.
