Two arrested in ‘execution­style’ murderAMIL UMRAW

TWO people were arrested last week for themurder of Gugulethu Gwamanda, who was shot“execution style” last month.

The suspects, aged 28 and 34, were arrestedand charged for allegedly killing Gwamanda (58)in a plantation outside Thornville in March.

The suspects were arrested by PlessislaerCluster task team members after an “intensiveinvestigation” following the murder.

The officers made a breakthrough when theyreceived information from residents about thewhereabouts of the suspects.

The suspects were traced and the first one wasarrested in Howick on 15 April.

The second suspect was arrested in the Oribiarea in Pietermaritzburg last Thursday.

Police spokesperson Major Thulani Zwanesaid that on 13 March Gwamanda went to thePietermaritzburg CBD to shop using her ToyotaVerso. She never returned home.

The next day, at about 9am, a passerbynoticed a vehicle parked on the side of the roadat Maynde farm, Thornville.

Inside was the body of a woman who hadsustained several gunshot wounds.

“The motive of the killing is unknown as herbody was found in her vehicle,” Zwane said.

The arrested suspects are expected to appearin the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court today.

At the time of the murder, police sources, whocould not be named, said her body was found withfive bullet wounds and it appeared to be an“execution­style” murder.

It is believed that nothing was stolen from thecar and a file containing divorce papers that werehanded to her last month were found in thecubbyhole.

Gwamanda was a Sweetwaters resident anda teacher at the Umthoqotho High where shetaught history and Zulu.

She was married and had four children ­ twoboys and two girls.

UKZN students marchagainst xenophobiaAMIL UMRAW

UKZNstudentsgatheredintheirhundredsonSundaytoprotestagainst the wave of xenopho-

bicattacksthatbroughtPietermaritz-burg to a standstill.

More than 200 students andlecturers rallied together at theUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal’sPietermaritz- burg campus.

With anti-xenophobia placards inhand, thegroupmade theirway from

the library lawn on the maincampus, to the commerce section,down to agriculture on Carbis Roadand back.

March organisers said they willhold another protest next Friday,when they will march from thecampus to the Office of the Premier.

One of the organisers, SandileKheswa, said they held the marchbecause they were tired of nobodydoing anything to prevent thexenophobic attacks.

“We think what is happening iswrong. Most foreigners have been inthe country for many years. Duringapartheid, other countrieswelcomedSouth Africans, and now when theyneed us most, we are chasing theirpeople away,” Kheswa said.

Pietermaritzburg was plaguedwith xenophobic violence lastWednesday.

Thousands of foreigners were lefthomeless and more than 50 foreign-owned shops were looted.

On a mission to beautify PMBAMIL UMRAW

ONE man has taken it upon himself tobeautify Pietermaritzburg with flowers.

Driving along most of the main roadsentering the city, motorists may have

noticed a dash of added colour on theroadside ­ a bloom of reds, pinks, yellowsand greens.

The initiative of brightening up the citywith a “companion planting” strategy wasa brainchild of horticulturist Mbulaheni

Tshivhase, who is in charge of Msunduzi’snorthern districts.

Tshivhase felt that there is a need toaesthetically improve the image of the Cityof Choice.

Ashamed by Msunduzi being labelledthe dirtiest capital city during a Ward 28public meeting, Tshivhase, who wasappointed at the municipality last year,

planting”, as Mbulaheni describes it,consists of arranging plants and vegeta­bles together. The project started in ChotaMotala Road where hundreds of flowersand vegetables were planted on theislands from East Street to the NorthdaleHospital.

Tshivhase said it all began with a callfrom a Springvale resident whocomplained of illegal dumping and poormaintenance at a substation.

Even though he is in charge of thenorthern suburbs only, Tshivhase haspledged to spread the project across thecity, with plans for other main roads thatenter the city centre such as Alan PatonAvenue, Peter Brown Drive, Sweetwaters

Road and Edendale Road.“We want to ensure that as workers

drivefromthecitycentretotheirrespectiveresidences, their stress levels should besoothed by the aesthetics of the flowers,”Tshivhase said. We need residents ofMsunduzi Municipality to have a senseof ownership and ensure that a clean andsafe environment is created,” he added.

Tshivhase appealed to residents not tobe tempted to pull out the plants.

“We need the City of Choice to competewith Toronto in Canada and Dubai and wecan only achieve that if we look after ourplants. The more beautiful our city looks,the higher the property values will go,”Tshivhase said.

Manor residentsdemand lower rentCHELSEA PIETERSE

RESIDENTS of Manor Flatsin Pietermaritzburgprotested with placards

andchantslastweek,complainingabout their increased rent anddemanding ownership of theirflats.

The large group of residentsgathered outside the flats earlyin the morning, displayingpainted signs conveying theirgrievances.

Resident Banu Vally said theflats had been her home for over20 years and housed low-incomeearners.She said over the years,therenthad increasedastronomi-cally and residents couldn’t affordwhat the municipality was de-manding of them.

“We want ownership of ourflats or if not, affordable rent,” shesaid.

“Thepeoplelivingherearelow-income earners and we cannotafford what the municipality istelling us to pay.”

The crowd marched to the cityhall to hand over a memorandumto the mayor however, they wereallegedly told the mayor and his

deputy were unavailable.“We handed over our

memorandum to councillorEunice Majola who accepted it onbehalf of the mayor, saying shewould hand it over to the mayor.”

ManorFlats resident of over24years, Wilma Bester said she andher husband had been strugglingto pay rent and the rate has in-creased by 15% every year.

She said national housing

owned the flats until 1997, thentheyonlypaid10%of their incometowards rent.

“Some people would pay R300and others R200, it all dependedon their salary.

“Every year since 1997, it hasgone up by 15%.

“It is now around R2 000 for athree-bedroomflatandR1 800fora two-bedroom flat.

“The people who live here are

gardeners, pensioners and low-income earners and cannot affordthe increases,” Bester said.

Vally said although residentshad not been threatened witheviction, those who could not paythe high rates would surely betold to leave and the communitydid not want that to happen.

Msunduzi Municipality did notcomment at the time of going topress.

UKZN graduatesrealise dreams>> One graduate used

to be a security guard

AMIL UMRAW

SOME of the country’s finestacademics have graduated fromthe University of KwaZulu-Natal,

some against all odds to further theireducation.

Bongisiwe Shelembe obtained herMaster of Science degree in chemistry,cum laude.

Shelembe grew up in rural Msingain KZN and was one of 11 children inher financially challenged family.

Shelembe experienced hardshipsand challenges at university as shecame from a school where Englishwasn’t the language of instruction.

“I would walk around with adictionary just so I could communicateas I was not proficient in English,” shesaid.

Another graduate started hisworking career as a security guard innorthern KZN.

Dr Sipho Buthelezi used the threeyearshespent in the jobtoplanthewayforward to a better life.

He started saving and eventuallyhad enough money to resign from hissecurity-guard position to register atthe university.

He now has a PhD in public policy.UKZN scientist Dr Adriana Marais,

who is among the final 100 shortlistedcandidates to possibly go to Mars on a

one-way mission, also obtained herPhD last week.

Maraismayonedayhavethechanceof investigating the planet, with thehopes of being in the final team of fourwho aim to be the first humans tocolonise Mars in 2024.

Six mechanical engineering stu-dents - Damien Raghubeer, MatthewWoods, NicholasWitteveen, Peter Sin-clair, Saien Rugdeo and Shuvay Singh- part of the team who created anaward-winning solar-powered car,graduated with BSc engineeringdegrees last week.

The graduates worked on the 2014solarcar, iKlwa,whichcamefirst in theSouthAfrican category and third over-all in the 2014 Pretoria to Cape Towneight-day Solar Car Challenge,covering a distance of 2 418,3kms andracing against teams from all aroundthe world.

The UKZN team have since signedup to participate in the 2015 WorldSolar Car Challenge, scheduled to takeplace in Australia this year.

Hulamin, the major sponsors ofiKlwa,haspledgedafurtherR1 millionto send the team to Australia as it wasso impressed with their performancelast year.

It will be the first time an Africanteam has entered this internationalevent.

Sewage pipe woes for Mpophomeni woman

NOKULUNGA NGOBESE>> nokulungan@myecho.co.za

LIFE is miserable for a Mpophomeni woman who,since December, has been living with a foul stenchfollowing a burst sewage pipe.

Dudu Gumede from EmaRomeni area told Echoshe has been reporting the matter to themunicipality since last year, but nothing has beendone. The problem started when a sewage pipe,connecting four houses, burst last year. A neighbourhad even called his own plumber to fix the problem.

“The problem started in December after heavyrains and water flooded into my house. Things gotworse as I started seeing faeces in front of my house.I reported the matter to the municipality andplumbers were sent to the area where they checkedand confirmed that a pipe had broken somewhere.

“They promised to come back, but up until nowI am still waiting. I reported the matter to the wardcouncillor, but the problem continues.”

Gumede said one of her main concerns is that thesituation has become a health hazard as herneighbour’s waste also floods into her house.

“No one can bear a foul smell for so long. Myyounger son developed boils recently and I believeit’s due to the environment I am living in. I don’t knowwhat else to do as I have reported the matter.”

Ward 8 councillor Sipho Ndlovu said he isunaware of the matter, but will investigate.

“I only know of one house in the area that hasa huge storm­water problem, but municipalplumbers are working on it. I will have to investigatethe matter as I don’t think someone could live witha burst sewer pipe for this long,” said Ndlovu.

EdendaleHospital to becommendedI RECENTLY had a nose operationEdendale Hospital. After hearing alot of negativity regarding this hos­pital I was very pessimistic abouthaving the operation.

However, due to the pain anddiscomfort I was experiencing Iwent to the hospital to betreated.

The patient administration sec­tion was filled to capacity. I walkedin at 6.30am and was expecting tobe there until the afternoon. I wasseriously mistaken.

Never before had I seen suchfast, efficient and courteous ser­vice — in no time I was being ush­ered to the surgical outpatient de­partment, and there again thenurses were simply amazing, theirefficiency was outstanding.

I had my operation done thereon 16 April and was discharged thefollowing day. My sincere thanks toDr Skinner, Dr Govender and DrPretorius for their kindness and re­assurance and the excellent workthey did.

To the day and night nurses offemale ward 4F, I have never beforeseen such outstanding work ­ fromlooking after the patients to thecleaning of the ward, your patienceand dedication to your job are fan­tastic.

I would recommend this hospi­tal to anyone. Let not the word ofmouth deter you, but experience itfor yourself.

Respect andconsiderationneededIT rips my heart into a 1 000 pieces to seethe current xenophobic and racist attacks.

The idiots involved in such violenceneed to be brought to justice. There aremany forms of peaceful tactics that can beused to resolve problems and the only waywe can all co­exist is if we compromise andrespect one another.

You cannot have your bread butteredon both sides.

Mostimportantly,peopleoughttoedu­cate themselves and come to their senses.Our freedom fighters sought shelter in oth­er countries and many foreigners stood bythem during the struggle. Many foreignersnow seek shelter in South Africa and a lotof them come from either refugee campsor countries with worse conditions. Theyshould not be ill­treated. On the contrary,and I’m no expert, but if need be, consider­ate quotas should be placed on foreignerscoming in, if they are over­populating ourcountry.

Apartheid has long gone. We need tomove from racism in all forms or else wewill lose our country in a way we haven’tbefore.

Let’s not promote hatred of one anotherWHAT is happening in our beauti-ful country regarding the destruc-tion of colonial and apartheidstatues at this juncture of ourhistory is wrong.

The statues should serve to re-mindusofpastgenerationalfigurespriortoourtimesandeventheexis-tence of our forefathers.

I havenever seenall the colonialor apartheid figures in question, Ihave only read about them.

The ways employed in dealingwith removal of statues is totallywrongandmighthavedireimplica-tion for us as a diverse nation. It istakingusback in termsofmulticul-

tural heritage.IwishEcho, as a people’s paper,

would conduct research and findout fromtheyoungwhat theiropin-ion is and what is going on in theirmind.

As faras Iunderstand, this issueneeds special attention from rele-vant authorities.

They must deal with it accord-ingly to avoid racial divisionsamongSouthAfricans.AsyoungasI am, I would like to see South Afri-cans always at peace with eachother asMandelawould have likedto see happening.

Those statues played a signifi-

cant role to where we are now, so Ibelieve theyshouldbekept inacer-tain place so thatwhomeverwantsto remind him or herself aboutthem can go there.

The fundamentalmessages thatcome with them are more impor-tant than it is thought by others.

History is part of development.Wherever you go, there is history.Let’s not destroy what is ours, weshould protect it and preserve it.

Let’s not provoke our ancestorsby promoting hatred of oneanother.

Afrophobiamust be sternlydealt withDESPITE on­going efforts by society andthe government to curb hate crimes likexenophobia, further stern steps must betaken to address discriminatory violence.

Like other forms of crime, xenophobicviolence threatens social cohesion andeconomicgrowth.Perpetratorsofdiscrimi­natory crimes especially, frequently go un­punished, which sends a message that for­eigners, refugees and immigrants can becriticised and attacked with liberty.

Stern measures like strengthening andmore visible law enforcement, and prose­cuting offenders, would help to addresshate crimes and send a clear message thatxenophobic violence will not be tolerated.Furthermore, strategies must be put inplace to help promote peaceful co­exis­tence between all who live in South Africa.

Moreover, a commission must be set upto look at and address the root causes ofhate crimes like the current wave of Afro­phobic violence we are witnessing.

Statements and speeches from politi­cal parties and members of Parliamentmust translate into action.

Most importantly, businesses and thegovernment must work together to createjob opportunities for the millions who areunemployed and are living in extreme pov­erty.

NICOLE JOHN>>nicole@pmbfever.co.za

WILDLANDS ConservationTrust is appealing to PMBschools to get involved in its

Clothes for Life project and collectclothes which can be barteredallowing those in underprivilegedcommunities to earn a living.

“There are many women in ourcommunities who do not workbecause theycannot finda jobor theycannot leave their home because ofsocio-economic reasons. There isalso a very real need for good-qualityclothing for our underprivilegedcommunities,” said BronwenBainbridge, Wildlands Partnershipsmanager.

Wildlands has a base of about10 000“green-preneurs”whogener-ate support for themselves throughthe barter of trees and waste forbuilding materials, small businessgrants, bicycles and educationalsupport.

“Bartering clothing allows thesegreen-preneurs to generate cashfrom the bundles of clothing they arebartering trees and waste for. Theycan also clothe themselves and theirfamilies by growing trees forWildlands and collecting waste intheir communities.”

AportionoftheclothingWildlandsreceives is donated to disadvantagedschools andnon-profit organisationsto give to patients seeking help fromclinics, or people living in homes andshelters. Any school or organisationcan get involved and collect clothingby organising a collection campaignwith Wildlands. The public can alsodropofftheirbagsofclothesattheHil-ton office at the Quarry Centre.

Schools can use this campaign to

fundraise for their outreach projects.Makro has comeonboard to sponsorgift vouchers for those who partici-pate and has sponsored clothing.

“There is no end date for thisinitiative. Organisations need tochoose how long they would like torun their campaignbeforeWildlandspicks up the bags,” said Bainbridge.

Makro is sponsoring vouchers inreturn fordonationsand thereareal-so prizes to be won.

“There are rewards you willreceive forhelping localcommunitiesand contributing to environmentalsustainability,” she added.

Gospel singergoes solo>> ‘I found the inner self of Sphumelele as an artist’

NOMPENDULO NGUBANE>>nompendulo.ngubane@myecho.co.za

SHE is the seed of the2009 talent show I wantTo Sing Gospel, created

and produced by ThokozaniNkosi.

After drawing viewers’ at-tention with her Zion rhythmsongs she joined the JoyousCelebration gospel group.However, her seven-yearjourney with Joyous Celebra-tion has come to an end asSphumelele Mbambo is nowgoing solo.

SpeakingtoEchoaboutherjourney Mbambo said she isembarking on journey that ispartofherdream.ShepraisedJoyous Celebration forgrooming and growing her inthe music industry.

“I learnt somuch, butmostimportantly, I found the innerselfofSphumeleleasanartist.Dreamingalone isnot enough-theysayactionspeakslouderthan words. This is exactlywhat I’m doing. I knew that Iwas born to be a singer and Iknow I’m here to help peopleandservetheirspiritualneedswith music.

“Life has taughtme that asapersonyoucanrisefromanysituation. I have been withJoyous Celebration for sevenyears and I’m grateful forevery experience and lesson Ihave been able to grasp. Oneof the important factors in lifeis to never change, just beyourself andbydoing that youarebeingtruetoyourself,”shesaid.

It is common for artists notto succeedwhen they take the

solo route, but Mbambo saidmusic lives in her and there-fore she won’t have that chal-lenge.

“It does happen, but if oneis aware of his or her expecta-tions in life nothing will stopthat. It is a strength and hun-ger for success that drives aperson to the right channels.Trials and tribulations are al-ways there, but the power ofthe Almighty covers every-thing.Thesongs formyalbumare ready. I cannot say exactlywhen my album will be out,but I know thatpeoplewill en-joy it,” said Mbambo.

Mbambo said she lovespeopleandspendsalotof timewith friends. She is not shyand believes that nothingbeats thepowerofprayer,andshe is the last born child athome.

‘Welcome to Gomora’ at HexagonFROM 22 April to 25 April, the HexagonStudio Theatre will showcase Welcome toGomora at 6pm.

The play is about a once peaceful townwhich has been transformed into a para-dise for gangsters and rapists.

With the people of the town fed up withan incompetent police force, a group of vigi-lantes try to take justice into their ownhands. Led by a former pastor who is seek-ing revenge for his wife’s death, they rise torestore justice and order in town.

Things soon take a turn for the worse, asit becomes evident there is no mob justice

without bloodshed. With the death toll ris-ing, the township is divided into two groups- those who are for the vigilantes and thoseagainst them. Yet no one dares to speak un-til a young man takes it upon himself tostand against the mob.

The show is a project for drama and per-formance studies students, performed withenergy and vitality, with vibrant new talentheralding a new generation of performers.

Tickets, at the door only, are R40 andR25 for concessions.

Women want midlife­crisis cars tooIT turns out women are alsosusceptible to buying midlife­cri­sis cars, at least according to asurvey by Ipsos.

It’s a common theory thatwhen a man reaches middle agehe will rush to buy the new carhe’s had his eyes on years.

A survey by global researchspecialist Ipsos claims to showthat women want midlife­crisiscars too.

The survey revealed that, onaverage, one in four respondentswere likely to buy a midlife­crisiscar – 30% of men and 21% ofwomen.

The sexes differed, however,

on the type of vehicle they werelikely to buy ­ top pick amongmen was a sports car (24%),among women an SUV (19%).

You might think of a redsports car as the classic midlifecar but according to the survey20% said that they wouldchoose a black vehicle; 19% opt­ed for silver or grey. Blue and redwere tied on 17%, yellow wasdead last with two percent of thevote.

The Ipsos survey also showed29% of men were “feel good”about middle age but only 22%of women.

Overall, respondents felt

positive about later life, saying itwas “a time for fresh opportuni­ties and experiences”.

Robyn Farrell, 1st for WomenInsurance executive head, said:“Reaching middle age should beatimeofcelebration–you’reold­er but wiser and better equippedto deal with all that life throwsat you.

“This is reflected in your insur­ance premium, too, as once youhit the big five­oh you can usuallybenefit from lower premiums be­cause you’re viewed as a more re­sponsible driver due to theamount of driving experienceyou have.” ­ Wheels4Women.

IN a move to curb South Africa’sappalling road death toll,Transport Minister Dipuo Peters isproposing restrictions for goodsvehicles on public roads.

According to the department,the restrictions will affectcommercial vehicles with a grossvehicle mass (GVM) exceeding9 000kgs.

The intended regulations willbe published for public commentand discussion later in 2015.

The new regulations state: “Noperson shall operate on the publicroad a goods vehicle the grossvehicle mass of which exceeds9 000kgs from 5pm to 8pm,Monday to Friday (except publicholidays) and from 6am to 9am,Monday to Friday (except publicholidays).”

Essentially vehicles with a GVMof more than 9 000kgs can onlyoperate on public roads from 9amto 4pm and 8pm to 6am during

week days. There are, however,provisions for emergency servicevehicles.

“This provision shall not applyin case of emergencies, to thedriver of a fire­fighting vehicle, afire­fighting response vehicle, anemergency medical responsevehicle, a rescue vehicle or anambulance, who drives such vehi­cle in the performance of his or herduties, a traffic officer or a personappointed in terms of the SouthAfrican Police Service Act, 1995(Act No 68 of 1995), who drives avehicle in the carrying out of his orher duties or any person driving avehicle while responding to adisaster as contemplated in theDisaster Management Act, 2002(Act No 57 of 2002).”

Transport departmentspokesperson, Ishmael Mnisi,states that the regulations are in“draft form” and will have to bepresented to his party’s cabinet,discussed in Parliament and willincorporate public input. He statesthat the department hopes toimplement the proposedregulations by the end of 2015.

MAYBE all of us saw and witnessed ug­ly scenes of xenophobia in many wayslast week. Some areas around the citylike downtown Copesville, Swapo, Ez­inketheni in some parts of Masukwanawere badly hit and our foreign brotherswere brutally attacked.

I am totally against it in many ways.Maybe I am heartbroken because themajority of the people who enjoyed theattacks were criminal elements andjust wanted to loot and fulfil their actsof crime. Talking from personal experi­ence and as person who has been for­tunate to travel out of our bordersmany times, I have come to the realisa­tion that some of us South Africans areshort­sighted or misinformed aboutforeign nationals in our country.First ofall we need to understand that SouthAfrica is on the African continent andAfrica belongs to all of us.

I remember my first experiencewhen I travelled to Swaziland, Nami­bia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Botswanafor national sport events, and for politi­cal reasons. Our foreign counterpartsare always good, positive and welcom­ing to all South Africans and spoke vol­umes about us as their neighbours.

Also any South African who visited,toured or went into exile during theapartheid years was well looked after.Our national teams such as BanyanaBanyana (SA senior Women’s team),AmaGlugGlug (SA U23 men’s team),

Bafana Bafana (SA senior men’s team)andevenPSLsideslikeOrlandoPirates,Kaizer Chiefs, Jomo Cosmos and Ma­melodi Sundowns, will tell you that 25years ago to travel to Africa was inter­esting and the treatment was alwaysgood, except of course the mind gamebefore matches. Some of the local as­sociations like the Pietermaritzburgand District Soccer Association (Pad­sa) visited Lesotho and were acceptedwith warm hands. All of us face chal­lenges to mend or change the goodSouth African image or local imagethat has been dented by few a criminalelements. I take my hat off to the wayour local SAPS, our municipalities, poli­ticians and religious leaders respondedto these xenophobic incidents aroundthe city. The fact is that if Pietermaritz­burg, the KZN capital, and Durban failto control or totally eliminate these at­tacks, it willmeanweareunableto lookafter our economy and peace.

The majority of foreigners aroundour the city are hard­working business­people. They brought economy to usand created jobs for some of us. Otherscame to South Africa, or to our city, totake their sporting talents to anotherlevel, others came to work here.

Let’s remember that most of ourprofessional clubs around KZN ­ Mar­itzburg United, AmaZulu, Golden Ar­rows, Thanda Royal Zulu and even themajority of tertiary institutes, hospitalsand high schools ­ recruited a lot of ourforeign brothers or sisters in order toimprove lives or to work in South Africa.

I encourage local businesses,churches, municipalities, councillorsand evenusasindividualsto stop xeno­phobia and embrace our African broth­ers. Let us all live in peace and harmony.

Mouth­wateringCup semi­finals>> ‘Competition of Sunrises’ this bumper soccer weekend

JERRY BARNES

SOUTH African soccer followersare in for a bumper weekendwhen the “Competition of Sun-

rises” - the Nedbank Cup semi-finals- take place.

This weekend Ajax Cape Town,SuperSport United, Vasco Da Gamaand Mamelodi Sundowns will be vy-ing for a place in the Ke Yona finalscheduled for 17 May.

The first semi-finals will be a datebetweenAjax Cape Town and Super-Sport United on Saturday at CapeTown’s Athlone Stadium at 8:15pm.

UrbanWarriorsheadcoachRogerDe Sa says their assignment againstthe Pretoria outfit will be interestingand tough.

“SuperSport United will be inter-

esting visitors. We respect them andwe are just lucky this game will behosted by us.

“We will try our best to representour followers in our back yard in agood way. We are also lucky becausewe are familiar with weather condi-tions in Cape Town and our visitorsare also likely to find it interesting,”said De Sa.

OneofUnited’slong-servingmem-bers and star defender ThaboSeptember this week told Echo hissidewill be careful as visitors and ex-pect endless fireworks.

“Weareexpectinga toughone, es-pecially as visitors. We are also ex-pectingthemtocomeatus fromalldi-rections and make conditions toughfor us. I expect endless fireworks,”said September.

The other semi-finals, the secondone, is scheduled for Sunday whenVascoDaGamafromthenationalfirstdivision and Cape Town will lockhorns with Mamelodi Sundowns atLucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

Da Gama’s leading goal scorerMbulelo Wambi says their approachwill be cautious because their oppo-nents areabig teamwhoalsowant tobe in the final.

“We respect them as PSL giants,but we know that if we win this, wewill already be in the final,” saidWambi.

Sundowns head coach PitsoMosimane believes the only way toovercome the visitorswill be to go forthe kill from the first whistle because“there are no small teams in the cupgames”.

It remains to be seen whether the team willcelebrate like this when they come up against Vasco Da Gama on Sunday.
