Editor’s Note

A
       Around this time last year, we were
       putting final touches to our 2020 New
       Year’s Resolutions - oblivious to what was
happening in the Far East. On top of our resolutions
was hosting a Springboks match at Mbombela
Stadium, pulling out all the stops for the fifth edition
of the Mpumalanga Cultural Xperience and gearing
up for Mpumalanga Cycle Tour. Little did we know
that the events in China would change life as we
know it.

The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic threw a
spanner in the works in all our plans. Events were
cancelled, lives and jobs lost and the economy sunk
into a recession. As a people, we had to adapt to
a new normal and come up with innovative ways to
keep the ball rolling to save lives and livelihoods.
                                                                      Sibongile Nkosi
What you are reading is one of the innovations the department came up with during the
lockdown - a digital version of Tibuya Emasisweni. The outbreak of Covid-19 has made it difficult
to continue business as usual. We needed to find new ways of informing the public on the work
that we do and that is how the digital newsletter was born – giving credence to the words that
we must make the best out of everything life throws at us.

The Covid-19 curveball forced us to move some of programmes to digital terrain. We delivered
Lockdown Grind on the department’s social media pages, partnered with national TV stations
Moja Love (Youth Power and Sekwanele) and SuperSport (Mpumalanga Sport Awards) to
celebrate province’s youth, women and honour our athletes, respectively.

  “What you are reading is one of the innovations the department

HOD’s Foreword

N
        ot to beat our own drum but the Department
        did a good job in mitigating the effects of
        Covid-19 in the sport and creative industries.
It has been a tough and testing 12 months for all
of us and it took a collective effort to minimize the
virus’ impact on society, especially on the sport and
arts fraternities.

The Mpumalanga Covid-19 Relief Fund, setup by
the Provincial Government, was a fillip for artists and
athletes, who could not earn an income during the
lockdown period.

I want to thank all officials, who worked hard during Head: Culture, Sport and Recreation Mr Godfrey Ntombela.
the lockdown to provide relief to athletes and artists. The officials pulled all the stops to ensure
that the Department’s services were delivered with minimum interruptions.

These men and women went the extra mile during this difficult period. I would also want to thank
MEC Lindiwe Ntshalintshali for providing leadership as we navigated uncharted territory.

In tough conditions, the Department delivered the Fifth edition of the Mpumalanga Cultural
Xperience. Unfortunately, the Mpumalanga Cycle Tour and the Rugby World Cup champion’s
match were cancelled.

As I write this column, the country is in the midst of a second wave of the pandemic. Just as the
country was able to weather the storm of the first wave, I am optimistic that we will once again
defeat the invisible enemy - it all depends on our attitude.

We need to continue observing Covid-19 health and safety protocols - keeping a safe social
distance, wearing of face masks that cover both the mouth and nose, avoiding large gatherings
and unnecessary travelling.

That said, here’s to a safe, sound and healthy 2021 - hope springs eternal.

                  “I want to thank my officials, who worked hard
                  during the lockdown to provide relief to athletes
                  and artists. The officials pulled all the stops to
                  ensure the department’s services were delivered
                  with minimum interuptions”

                                                      star athlete has made sporting history by
                                                      qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics (30 July – 8
                                                 August 2021) and Junior u/20 World Championship
                                                 (17 – 22 August 2021) in Kenya.

                                                 Banele Shabangu has qualified for the 100m relay
                                                 in the Olympics as well as 100m and 200m relay
                                                 in the World Champs. Shabangu, who hails from
                                                 Barberton, is over the moon on making the squads
                                                 after years of working hard. “I’m quite excited about
                                                 my recent achievements. I’m the only junior athlete
                                                 who will compete with seniors in Tokyo,” says the
                                                 sprinter.

                                                 There is more good news in store. Earlier in the
                                                 year, the 18-year-old sprinter was announced
                                                 as one of six Puma Future Stars track and field
                                                 stars ambassadors. “The Puma School of Speed
                                                 delivered spectacular results and making the
selection process a difficult one. These six athletes really impressed us. We look forward to being
with them every step of the way as they continue to excel in the exciting sport of tract and field,”
explained Puma’s Brett Bellinger.
                                 “So what can the world expect from Shabangu, I Maleka?
Shabangu first gained prominence She responded. She predicts a good showing at the
when representing Mpumalanga premier events in the world of athletics.”
in Drie Stokkies at the National
Indigenous Games Festival. She
won her first gold medal at the festival in
2017 and went on to dominate Drie Stokkies.
After her exploits at the festival, she was
awarded a scholarship at Prestige College in
Hammanskraal, Gauteng. It was at Prestige
College that she blossomed in 100m and 200m
athletics and became one of the school’s star
performers.

Two years ago, her Drie Stokkies mentor,
Dorcas Maleka said the following about the
athlete: “She’s one of the brightest talents in
Indigenous Games circles. It is only a matter
of time before the whole country sits and notices her immense talent. She is hot and wanted
property in the country. The next step is for her to set the athletics alight with her talent.” Maleka’s
words have come to full fruition as the sprinter princess is on the cusp of greatness.

The Barbertonian is the second Drie Stokkies player to qualify for the Olympics, following in the
footsteps of Luvo Manyonga in 2014, who went on to win an Olympic silver medal in Rio Olympics
and was crowned Commonwealth Games champion.
So what can the world expect from Shabangu, I ask Maleka. “I predict a good showing at the
premier events of athletics,” she responded.

                                                                                                    5

What is drie stokkies?
The game is played by a team consisting of six players
– three boys and three girls – who compete against
another team of the same number of players. An athlete
that wants to participate in this game should have the
ability to get maximum lift from the grass to jump over
the sticks. The three sticks are placed one meter from
each other on the grass. Players of the two teams line
up, run and start to jump. The players should only step
once between the sticks. When a player jumps between
the sticks s/he is not allowed to touch the sticks with his
or her foot.

                                                      How do you score?
                                                      The player from the team that jumps the last
                                                      (stretcher) should jump to reach the furthest
                                                      point with his or her jump. Where that player
                                                      stops, the last stick needs to move to where
                                                      his or her heels lands.

How do you win?
Measurements from the middle stick to the end
stick will determine the winner.

What is the Puma School of Speed?
Launched in 2016 and Headed by the World’s
Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, the PUMA School of
Speed Series is committed to the development
of athletics talent in South Africa by identifying
exceptional young South African athletes who
believe that their future is #ForeverFaster.
In addition to representing the brand, the six
(6) PUMA contract winners, aka Future Stars,

Sounds, stuff of Cultural Xperience
I
  t’s not how the Department had planned to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Mpumalanga
  Cultural Xperience, but the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown
  regulations resulted in muted celebration. The “Xperiencers” sounded the call to party in a
responsible manner in line with the Covid-19 health and safety protocols.

Our photographer was there to capture some of the moments at the Soul Session Xperience,
Comedy Xperience and Gospel Music Awards.

Africa. Walutfota Lolumanti became a classic radio series on Ligwalagwala FM.

He was one of five (5) SiSwati authors honoured by the department and National Library of South
Africa as part of the Classics Living Legends Project. The other four were Dr JJ Thwala (Author
of Umkhunsu), Prof JP Shongwe (Author of Bangani), ES Mathunjwa (Author of Lidvume
Laphangalala) and AT Fakude (Labhoboka Litfumba), who have all written some of the best
books in SiSwati.

 The Classics Living Legends project was initiated in 2008 to honour authors by reprinting their
books and donating them to libraries and reading clubs. The project is aimed at encouraging
people to visit libraries and to read in their indigenous languages. During the past twelve years, the
Classics Living Legends has reproduced 94 titles, many of which were out of print.
