News24.com | Phepsi Buthelezi on Sharks back row: ‘We’re not the biggest but we’re fast and evasive’

  • Sharks back rower Phepsi Buthelezi said the Durban side might not have the bulkiest loose-forwards in the country but they punched well above their weight.
  • The Sharks have changed tact from the time the Du Preez brothers, Dan and Jean-Luc, bossed the back of the scrum.
  • Buthelezi said he appreciated the youth focus in head coach Sean Everitt’s team selection.

Sharks back rower Phepsi Buthelezi said the Durban side might not have the bulkiest loose-forwards in the country but they punched well above their weight.

The Sharks have survived on relatively lighter, fleet-footed, ball-playing loose-forwards who have seen them in great stead, especially earlier this year, after Sikhumbuzo Notshe moved there from Western Province.

It’s quite the change of tact from the time the Du Preez brothers, Dan and Jean-Luc, bossed the back of the scrum, with their traditional South African pure beef style of forward play.

READ | Phepsi Buthelezi and Scott Mathie reunite on opposite sides

Buthelezi, however, leaned more towards what he’s seen at the Shark Tank as a possible recipe for success.

“The Sharks are very blessed with loose-forwards,” he said.

“I think we’ve probably got some of the best loose-forwards in the country. Most of us are probably not as big as the other loose-forwards in the other teams.

“We are guys that generally like to play with ball in hand, we are very fast and very evasive and we’ve also got guys that are very good on the ground, which helps our game plan.

“Playing alongside Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Henco Venter, guys that have been around and have done their time and accumulated so much experience – being able to learn from them and grow – is really massive for me.

“We all know how amazing Notshe has been this year and to learn from a guy like that is a massive opportunity for me.”

The former SA Under-20 captain has been used as both a blindside flank and eighthman during Super Rugby Unlocked, playing well enough to force head coach Sean Everitt to find a place for him in the starting XV weekly.

Gradually, he has turned his potential into tangible, awesome performances in the senior team.

The Sharks have pinned their future hopes on young guns like him, JJ van der Mescht and Dylan Richardson, who are all 21.

Buthelezi said he appreciated the faith shown in youth.

“It’s very good and it’s something that we really appreciate as youngsters,” said Buthelezi.

“Especially to be backed in such a big game against the Cheetahs, who hadn’t lost a game yet up to that point. We know how exciting the Cheetahs are as a team.

“And to be able to have the opportunity to run out again, as youngsters looking to grow in this union and take this union forward, we appreciated that from coach Sean.

“The guys went out there to make sure they put their hands up and get the job done for the union.”

As for which position he prefers, No 7 or 8?

“Where the Sharks need me, I’ll always be willing to play there for the team,” Buthelezi said.

“But I would say, getting a chance at No 7 earlier in the season was probably really good for me to be able to see and experience the game from a different perspective.

“We all know that for a South African No 7, you need to be big, tall and physical. You’re basically the main ball-carrier.

“Defensively, your role changes quite a bit, you’re not always going around the corner but you’re mostly keeping the width on the blind.

“I needed to make those kinds of minor adjustments and I was able to make them.

“I prefer No 8, especially going forward, because I think I am better in the role of playing the link between the forwards and backs.

“At No 8 I am able to play generally in the wider channels. I feel like that’s where my strengths are. I definitely don’t mind playing No 7 but, looking at playing for the Boks and stuff like that, No 8 would be the better position.”

Buthelezi is expected to start again against Griquas on Friday night (19:00 kick-off). Everitt will name his squad on Wednesday.

News24.com | National Assembly rejects EFF’s motion, adopts one recognising efforts of farmers and farm workers

  • The National Assembly rejected the EFF’s “divisive” motion to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the plight of farm workers and farm dwellers.
  • Instead, an ANC amendment to the motion was passed, which notes “individual and collective efforts of farm workers, farm dwellers and farmers and the role played by the farming sector in seeking solutions”.
  • Two parliamentary committees will review the relative legislation, conduct public hearings and report back to the House by the end of next year.

The National Assembly adopted a motion on Tuesday that recognises the role of farm workers, farm dwellers and farmers in the agricultural sector, but also that the sector is faced by many challenges, as proposed by the ANC.

Originally, it was a motion proposed by the EFF, which was debated last week in a heated mini-plenary of the National Assembly. 

The EFF’s motion was condemned as divisive, and ill-advised as there are already portfolio committees dealing with these matters.

EFF MP Sam Matiase, who proposed the motion, said the black MPs who did not support it were “house n*****s”.

On Tuesday, the motion was put to the full National Assembly, with the ANC and DA proposing amendments which replaced the whole EFF motion.

ANC MP Judith Tshabalala presented her party’s motion to the House.

It acknowledged the “policy and legislative progress” made by the government to improve relations between farm workers, farm dwellers and farmers and noted that despite this progress, challenges remained.

She said despite the progress made since 1994, farmers, farm workers and farm dwellers were faced by persistent crime, violence, human rights violations and inadequate housing and water provision.

Tshabalala also noted the “individual and collective efforts of farm workers, farm dwellers and farmers and the role played by the farming sector in seeking solutions”, while strained relations continued in some parts of the country.

She proposed that the Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Reform and the Portfolio Committee on Employment and Labour review the legislation, with an eye on improvements and conducting public hearings, to report back to the House by 31 November 2021.

The DA’s motion, read by chief whip Natasha Mazzone but proposed by MP Annelie Lotriet, acknowledged that the agricultural sector – and all those involved in it – played a critical role in the well-being of every citizen.

The DA proposed an amendment:

  • recognising the role of the agricultural sector in the economy;
  • recognising that the future of the sector is dependent on the wellbeing of everyone in the sector;
  • acknowledging that all farmworkers should enjoy the respect and working conditions consistent with labour laws note; and
  • noting that many farmers and farmer’s organisations have expressed their concern about the maltreatment of farmer workers.

Matiase’s proposed motion noted that farm workers and farm dwellers were amongst the most vulnerable group of people in the country.

“Historically, the relationship between farm owners and farm workers has always been mediated by violence and this dates back from the violence of forceful dispossession of the land to the slave-like work conditions on farms, from the complete disregard of the human rights of the young and the old to the forceful and illegal evictions of people who have stayed on these farms for generations.”

The motion “further acknowledges that it is also common practice among farmers to pay workers with wine, instead of money, therefore creating alcohol dependence that is destroying any prospects of a better future for farm workers and their families”.

The EFF wanted an ad hoc committee to assess legislation affecting farm workers and farm dwellers in South Africa, and recommended legislative amendments to provide for more comprehensive protection of farm workers and farm dwellers, and conduct public hearings with all interested and affected parties, including farm workers themselves, unions organising on farms and civil society organisations.

The DA’s amendment were not approved, but the ANC’s amendment was, and the motion was passed as such.

News24.com | Brackenfell High: ‘The right to protest is fundamental’ – Ahmed Kathrada Foundation

You Need Posted on by

  • The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation condemned the violence at the Brackenfell High School.
  • The foundation said it had, in the past, demonstrated in a similar way outside schools on issues of racism.
  • It was also concerned about the alleged segregated event attended by matric pupils.

 

The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation (AKF) has condemned the violence EFF supporters were subjected to at the Brackenfell High School in Cape Town.

The foundation said it had, in the past, demonstrated in a similar way outside schools on issues of racism.

AKF anti-racism manager Busi Nkosi said the foundation considered the right to protest as fundamental in the fight against racism and other social injustices.

“Those opposing the EFF’s right to gather and protest at the school seemingly did so on the basis that the EFF had no right to be in ‘their’ area. This mentality is one that must also be condemned,” said Nkosi.

Nkosi added that they are concerned about the alleged segregated private event attended by matric pupils.

He said it needed to be probed independently.

Nkosi lashed out at the dismissive attitude of the Western Cape education department, saying it indicates a serious lack of understanding of the gravity of the issue.

“In a country where issues of racism are at the forefront of the lived experience of almost all of its citizens, it is time that we acknowledge its existence and find ways of engaging around lasting solutions to eradicate it from both the private and public life.

“As we do this, we need to also have a conversation about how to deal with instances of alleged racism and whether the existing mechanisms to deal with these are sufficiently utilised and whether they are effective.”

“Let us also be mindful of the learners, who have to write their examinations in this unconducive environment, and put their interests first in all that needs to be done.

“These pupils have had to cope with the effects of Covid-19 and a hugely complicated academic year and do not need the added pressure of violence and conflict outside of the school,” said Nkosi.

Nkosi said the issue of racism should be probed by the SA Human Rights Commission and the provincial education department, with possible assistance from its national office.

“The South African Police Service must ensure that protests are conducted within the confines of the law and with little or no impact on the exam environment required by the learners of Brackenfell High School,” said Nkosi.

Meanwhile, EFF member Sibongile Nkasayi has opened a criminal case against a man who was caught on camera assaulting her with a baseball bat outside the school.

Earlier on Tuesday, the education department reiterated that the event was not a school function only for white people.

Education MEC Debbie Schafer said, if this was the case, the department would have acted immediately against the school.

“Firstly, had the media reports been true that this was a “whites only” matric function organised by the school, the WCED would most certainly have acted against the school immediately. This would have been a violation of our Constitution,” said Schafer in a statement.

“However, the school did not organise, host, arrange or endorse this event. It was a private party for 42 of the 254 matriculants in that school year.”
