“Applications were to be delivered to21 Chief Albert Luthuli street and theclosing date was 21 January 2015. Thecontact person was a certain MJ Sitholewho included his office number andcellphone number.

“However when we went to the stipulatedoffice, we were redirected to the Nataliabuilding as the department’s head office,

only to be told that the department knewnothing about it,” he said.

Lwazi Mdletshe said when he tried tocontact Sithole on the contact numbersprovidedon the advertisement, it said theydidnot exist.

“It’s the beginning of a new year andmany people are desperate to find jobs.Peoplemust be vigilant when they aremakingapplications.

“Weare luckythatwhoeverwasconningus,did not ask for money,” he ended.

SAPS spokesperson Captain ZenzeleNdlovu warned the public about job scams.

“It is believed that somepeople are beingmislead about jobsadvertised.

“Some people even askfor money with apromise of a job.

“Public members areadvised to visit thehuman resources offices

forthatparticular companyordepartmentand request official confirmation of theadvertised post.

“Members of the public have the right to laycriminal charges against fraudsters.”

KZN Department of Health spokespersonSam Mkhwanazi said:

“No payment whatsoever is involved inthis process.

“Anyone who purports to offeremployment for a fee on behalf of thedepartment must immediately be reported tothe police.”

What you had to say about “Omalume”“I’m not against “Omalume” taking thechildren to school. They are helpfulbecause not every parent can afford totake their children to school them­selves. It is ideal for young childrenbecause some of the children arestill too young to be travelling bytaxi. What I don’t like is seeingyoung boys dropping out of schooland becoming drivers of these cars.”

Ncamisile Ngcamu:

“They must stop overloading theyoung ones in one car. Another thingthat is very important is making surethat their cars are in a good workingcondition. They should be registered,serviced and in good condition. Thedrivers must be in a possession of avalid drivers license.”

Khanyo Ngubo:

“My concern is theoverloading. I believethat the reason theyoverload is becausethey are transportingyoung children. Theyshouldn’t be bannedbut the governmentshould lay rules thatthey will have to followlike in any otherworking office. The carsthey use must be ingood condition at alltimes.”

Nathi Sibisi:“Omalume” save

time. A child wontbe late, unlike if theyuse a taxi. With“Omalume” they aresafe, they fetch themfrom home, leavethem at school inone car. It is a relieffor a parentbecause they knowat what time theyshould be expect­ing them fromschool.”

2015 - a communitytourism yearTHE year 2015 has been

adopted as year of communitytourism by the Msunduzi

Pietermaritzburg TourismAssociation (MPTA) recently.

At a seminar themed:“Community Tourism as a tool forLocal Economic Developmentand Transformation’ at the OldPrison last Thursday”, it was pointedout that community tourism islisted in the National TourismSector Strategy as one of the priorityareas.

“And MPTA as representative ofcommunities and the private sectorhas a major role in driving this asspelt out in the KZN CommunityTourism Strategy,” committedMPTA director Dumisani Mhlongo.

“Local communities have a keyrole to play in tourism development,as they are the focal pointwhere many of the key cultural,heritage sites, historical andadventure venues that are ofsignificance to tourists arefound within communities,” saidMhlongo.

“Involvement of localcommunities can only help toenhance the local tourism productand grow domestic tourism,” hecontinued.

Ethekwini Municipality’s DurbanTourismhas achieved a lot regardingthis.

Speaking on behalf of DurbanTourism, Nelisa Mshengu, shared

many examples of best practice,including the Inanda HeritageRoute and Township CultureExperiences.

ShesaidthatDurbanacknowledg-es the importance of workingwith Community TourismOrganis ations (CTOs) to drivedomestic tourismand therefore havea structured relationship through

which they support the CTOs.A variety of local key tourism

products and attractions were listed.A stock of infrastructural needs wastaken and the meeting decried thestateofneglect ofmany local tourists’attractions. The meeting resolved toadvocate for improvement of thissituation through the MPTA.

Not all women are worthpaying for

SIMPHIWE MKHIZE

IT is common for males to avoidpaying lobola for women, and theadvent of a lobola app, though

meant to be for entertainmentpurposes, touches on very pertinentissues.

Indeed, beauty or physicalappearance, cooking, wealth orearning an income, are some of thethings that most men take seriouslynowadays.

It is not surprising that somewomenshould find theappoffensive.

Forstarters,nowomanlikesbeingevaluated or critiqued, especially ifthey are lacking in some of thematters raised in the app.

Personally, I do not support thepaying of lobola and if someoneshould wish to marry any of mydaughters, they could have herwithoutpayinganylobolofees.Andofcourse I would not expect mydaughter to contribute even a singlepenny towards that wedding, if it is awhite wedding.

Yes,mydaughters arenot for sale.In other words, what I have done

to support them i.e. paying for theireducation, health, food, transporta-tion, shelter etc, cannot bemeasuredin monetary terms. But of coursethere is a catch: she is welcome tocome back home any time if the

husband isnot treatingher right, andthehusbandwouldbeexpectedtopayfor her children’s upkeep oreducation.

In that way, no one would feelcheated out of their money.

I am of the opinion that love is notabout making money for me as aparent, but a conscious decisionbetween two people that they wouldlike to spend their lives together.

Apparently,many guyswould liketo start families, but they havefinancial constraints. I find it unac-ceptable that some parents shouldstand in the way of a young couplewho wishes to start a family justbecausethepoorguyisnotfinanciallystrong topay themfor theirdaughter.

But thenaparentwouldargueandsay how is a guy who cannot affordpaying for lobolo planning to takecare of his or her daughter?

TheNgunipeoplerefer to loboloasa relation-building gesture ofgoodwill, and they are proud of theirdaughters who bring money to themin this way.

I must quickly state that I havenothing against anyone who acceptslobola fees or payment for theirdaughters. In fact, having beenmarried for ten years to my late wife(God rest her soul), I realise that wemaleshavenorighttocomplainaboutpaying lobola.

Women (of course not all of them)generally give more in a relationshipin termsof householdduties. Besidesbringing children to the worldthrough a laborious process, what ittakes to raise a child is painstakingand it is general knowledge that thewoman folk often bear the brunt for

it all.In fact I salute every mother -

married or not (including the manysingleparentsout there) - for thehardwork that constitutes beingamother,let alone single parenting.

Women are the ones who have tosee to it that children eat, if they haveclothes to wear, their cleanliness, ifthey have a roof over their heads, thelist is pretty long. Whatever iscontained in the Children’s Act - agood mother is familiar with it morethan the father is.

However, the number of fatherswho are referred to as the ‘newman’is rising because of advocacy andawarenessworkthathasempoweredmany men about children’s rights,including the right to a shelter,security and the right to be free fromemotional, mental, sexual andphysical abuse.

As a newly graduated singleparent who has enjoyed the input ofa useful partner for a decade, I ammore appreciative of the value of acompetent mother and wife.

Hence Ibelieve it isnotnecessarilywrong for those who like the idea ofreceiving money for their daughtersin the form of lobolo to be critical ofthenew loboloapp, if it discriminatesin accordance with the value (or lackthereof) that the makoti will bring ornot bring to her new family.

I really liked that witty lobolo appinvention. It is entertaining. Howev-er, women can rest assured that inreal life, somemendonotget toknowthe true value or quality of theirwomen before they marry them.

Has lobola lost its meaning?

PHOTOS: NOKULUNGA NGOBESE"Although this application is

meant to be playful, nowadays wehave lost the meaning of whatlobola is. There are deductions andadditions as if we are items in ashop. It should go back to the wayit was before, where the intentionwas to create relations betweentwo families."

Nokwazi Lugayeni:

"Paying for school fees, clothingand transport is the responsibilityof parents, however when it comesto lobola negotiations, theyconsider all those things. It's likethey expect to be repaid for whatwas their responsibility from thebeginning. After lobola negotiations,there is still a lot of exchanging ofgifts. Some even ask for laptops aspart of the negotiations. It's likeparents are selling us."

Nandi Gabisa:

"Nowadays, lobola is more aboutshowing off how much you can affordrather than culture. Sending your childto school is like taking an investmentpolicy as parents expect more when itcomes to lobola negotiations. There isa lot of money that is wasted andyou find that people are gettingmarried for all the wrong reasons.”

Andile Mkhize:

"The main purpose was toestablish relations between twofamilies. Although there hasalways been an exchange of giftsin the process, they were not asexpensive as they are now. Peopleeven ask for electric appliancesnowadays which is not ok."

Sfiso Xavier:

WITH software developer Robert Matsaneng having developed a lobola calculator app to beinstalled on smartphones, NOKULUNGA NGOBESE spoke to city residents to find out if lobolastill serves its purpose or if it has become a money making scheme. Matsaneng said that

the app is intended to be playful, as it gives an estimate of how much dowry one is worth. It considersage, height, weight, waist size, and how attractive a person is, qualifications, type of job, whethershe has been married before and if she has children.

"Some pay lobola and end up notgetting married because of theexpense. After negotiations, there arethings such as umembeso andumabo which cost a lot. I think theway lobola has been made to beexpensive is also contributing to thedivorce rate, as you find youngmarried couples divorcing becausethere are so over­indebted."

Fellow principals fromschools across Pietermaritz-burg took time out of their busyschedules on Friday topersonally express their wellwishes, while Heather pupilsrandomly popped in toMoodley’s office betweenclasses for a last hug orhandshake.

Moodleysaidhewassadtobeleaving and he “can already feelthe hollowness settling in”.

“I was always the first one inand the last one to leave andwhen I think about Monday, Ican’t comprehend what I’mgoing to do all day out of thisroutine,” Moodley said.

“It will be difficult to make

that mental adjustment.”Throughout his term as

principal since 2002, Moodleyhas been instrumental inmaintaining a 95% pass rate atHeather Secondary.

“I’ve triedmy best to takemyschool to a certain level and Ihope it can be taken to newerheights in the future.

“The school is very close tomy heart,” Moodley said.

An avid sportsman, Moodleywill be replacing his days in theclassroom with time on thegreensasheplans to takeupgolfin his spare time.

He also hopes to do charitywork for temples around PMB.

Moodley specialised inAfrikaans and economics andhas taught someof the country’stop pupils.

“I’ve had a very closerelationship with my students,but the rules still apply. Myphilosophyis thatnoteachingorlearning takes place withoutdiscipline,” Moodley said.

In his absence, the title ofprincipalwillbepassedontothecurrent deputy, Daryll John.

The Island is nowplaying in PMBTHEHexagonTheatrewill, from

17 to 21 February at 6pm, beshowing The Island, a play

starring Mpilo Nzimande and TQZondi and directed by PeterMitchell.

The play is written by AtholFugard, John Kani and WinstonNtshona.

“But just remember this, brother,nobody laughsforever!There’ll comeatimewhenthey’llstoplaughing,andthat will be the time when ourAntigone hits them with her words.”is one of the salient highlights of theIsland.

John and Winston are twoprisoners on Robben Island, boundby ideology, proximity, shackles anda deep affection.

As they rehearse for a perform-ance of Sophocles’ Antigone atthe prison concert, John learns thathis release is imminent; Winston is alifer.

This classic South African playbalances hope and despair as itidentifies with Antigone’s struggle ofright and wrong, the law of Stateversus the law of the heart.

Itexposesthedepthsofcrueltyandinhumanity while affirming the

dignity and courage of the humanspirit.

The Island is remembered as oneof the fewplays thathelped to changethe world.

Its tour of America was crucial inbringing the Americans to impose

sanctions on South Africa - a movewhich helped topple apartheid.

Tickets are R70 (R50 for studentsand seniors).

MARITZBURG United chairmanFarouk Kadodia is confident that hecan secure the services of coach

SteveKomphelabeyondtheendoftheseason.The former Free State Stars boss was

linked with Orlando Pirates after the SowetogiantspartedwayswithVladimirVermezovicin December, but the Buccaneers seem likelyto staywithcaretaker coachEricTinkleruntilthe end of the campaign.

Komphela was also heavily linked withChippaUnitedatthebeginningofthe2014/15season, but Kadodia and Maritzburg foughthard then to keep their man.

“We understand that Steve, like everycoach,hasambitionstocoachatthetoplevel,”Kadodia tells KickOff.com.

“But we have bent over backwards to

accommodate him in Maritzburg and weare confident we can keep him.”

Kadodia also points out that Piratescould have approached Komphela afterVermezovic’s departure, and didn’t. Butthat doesn’tmean thatKomphela,whohasguided theTeamofChoice to seventh in thelog standings, won’t be a target of Bucs atthe end of the season.
