Johannesburg- The South African National Under-20 side, Amajita are through to the finals of the CAF Youth Championships after beating Cameroon 2-1 at Peter Mokaba Stadium to progress 3-2 on aggregate.
Despite falling behind to an early strike by the visitors, Shakes Mashaba’s boys never lost their nerve and their 2-1 victory was true value of their historic efforts.
Cameroon took an early lead (1-0) in the 3rd minute when Noubissi Marius’s low shot gave Jethren Barr no chance. Barr looked jittery in the opening minutes and could have been punished further moments later.
Pierre Kunde then saw his powerful shot fly over the bar as the visitors upped the antic.
Amajita had to again defend in numbers in the 25 minute as Cameroon threatened but a timely tackle by captain Ayabulela Maqwaka saved the situation.
Siyanda Ngubo then saw his shot blocked inside the box as Amajita pushed men upfront searching for the equaliser.
They finally got the equaliser with seven minutes to go to half-time when Fagrie Lakay went on a solo run before burying a thunderous shot into the roof of the net.
Moments later Ngubo could have given Amajita the lead but decided to pass the ball inside the box when taking a shot could have been a better option.
Cameroon then hit the crossbar on a sweeping counter-attack through Tabekou Ouambe.
Lakay then got a second in the dying minutes of the second half to give the home team a 2-1 advantage.
The second half began at the same frantic pace as the first half with Cameroon looking to quickly hit back.
But they were pegged back as Amajita hit the bar from a free kick soon after through Lakay.
Pule Maraisane then saw his chip tantalising over the bar after being set up by Ngubo.
Amajita v Cameroon line-ups:
South Africa: Jethren Barr, Madisha Motjeka, Bongane Mathabela, Ayabulela Maqwaka, Siyanda Ngubo, Pule Maraisane, Aubrey Maphosa, Denwin Farmer, Fagrie Lakay, Tshepo Chaine, Morne Nel.
Subs: Khumbulani Mkhize, Tebogo Moerane, Hashim Domingo, Tioto Leepile, Siphelele Luthile, Mpho Mathekga, Dikgang Ngcobo

DJ TIRA’s ex-wife, Lale Ngcobo, has allegedly gone into hiding from a Durban businessman who is umashonisa.
And some Durban-based loan sharks who used to provide Lale with loans now accuse her of using Tira’s name in a bid to get cash and then vanish.
One of them, businessman Sbu Hlongwane, now cries foul. Apparently, Sbu lent Lale R10 000 early last year with an agreement that she would pay it back after 30 days with R3 000 interest.

Johannesburg – South Africa wanted public servants who would truly serve the needs of its people, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday.
“We need a public service… that is going to conserve our resources. We need public servants who are not going to steal our money. We need public servants who aren’t corrupt,” Ramaphosa said.
“We need public servants who are going to serve the public… Our Constitution requires that all people in South Africa be served by a professional public administration that works fairly, equitably and without bias.”
He was speaking at the launch of public service month and the Thusong service centre at Maponya Mall in Soweto.
Humble service
Ramaphosa said citizens had a legitimate expectation that services would be provided in a timely manner and close to where they lived.
“Where payment is required, these services should be affordable… We want a public service who are going to be humble.”
Public servants needed to become agents of change, enablers and facilitators.
“They need to collaborate with citizens to resolve complex service delivery challenges,” the deputy president said.
Time to re-invent
“If we hope to address the triple challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality, the public service has to re-invent itself. It needs to find new ways of adding value and effecting change.”

Leadership within public service was also very important, as it determined the direction and redeployment of sources, and was a repository of knowledge.
“It needs to be visionary, proactive and responsive,” the deputy president said.
“It needs to respond to people’s needs, and be accountable, transparent and development-oriented.”

Johannesburg – Cosatu’s general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says President Jacob Zuma should adhere to the public protector’s recommendations or challenge them in court, the Sunday Times reported.
Vavi told the paper that Thuli Madonsela’s recommendations “reigned supreme” and that her office was a critical foundation of democracy.
“We’ve accepted that those recommendations have to be implemented — all of them,” he was quoted as saying.
Vavi said some of the criticism Madonsela had received was “absolutely disgusting to say the least.
“Everybody has had a field day. Some people even made comments about the shape of her nose,” said Vavi.
“The public protector has to be respected.” The Congress of SA Trade Unions was backing Madonsela after she was attacked by the African National Congress following leaks of her official reports to the media. the Sunday Times reported.
In March, Madonsela found that Zuma and his family had unduly benefited from the R246m upgrades made to his private Nkandla home.
She said government had built a visitors centre, cattle kraal and chicken run, a swimming pool, and amphitheatre for Zuma.
She recommended he pay back some of the money that went into the upgrades.
