Street Photographer in polokwane, South Africa

2011-03-04T00:12:00.000-08:00

Walking through the park in the town centre of Polokwane, South Africa, it would be impossible to miss street photographer, Phineas Molwantwa. The 51-year-old father of four lives 20km from the town. He has a small home at the foot of the hill, where he grows his own corn and breeds pigeons. But Phineas also has an inspiring entrepreneurial vision which he realizes through street photography.

Every day he travels by bus to Polokwane with his camera and his printer. He sets himself up in the park and takes pictures of passers by, charging R20 per print. With a background in photography that dates as far back as 1975, Phineas has a good eye for that perfect snap.

With the FIFA World Cup being hosted in South Africa, and one of the stadiums on his doorstep, Phineas has enjoyed the business that this has brought him. Whether he’s taking photos of Algerian fans hugging South African locals, or tourists out for a walk in the park, this street photographer is delighted to be benefiting from the soccer tournament.

“I didn’t have any idea how the World Cup would turn out, but I am very happy to be part of it. I will take this opportunity to photograph the tourists and make some money to support my family.”

All you do is move around town, go to weddings, public Hot spots, entertainment parks etc and offer a person a same time photo while he/she waits.

E45 000 sponsorship

for Mayor’s Golf Cup

MBABANE- The Mbabane Mayor’s Cup Golf challenge slated for this Sunday has received a total sponsorship of E45 000.

Canon is the main sponsor as they have sponsored the tournament to the value of E30 000, while the corporate sector of the Mbabane City contributed E15 000.
The tournament to take place at the Mbabane Club was officially launched yesterday by Mbabane Mayor Zephaniah Nkambule.

He requested residents of Mbabane to attend the tourn-ament, adding that it was a forum where issues affecting the city at both corporate sector and individual level would be discussed.
Canon’s Managing Director Cassim Suleman said despite the credit crunch, his company saw it worthwhile to sponsor the tournament for the City of Mbabane.
He explained that this was the company’s second sponsorship for the tournament, stating that the first one was in 2007.
Mbabane Club captain Mervyn Lubbe said the club was ready to host the tournament.
A total of 14 teams have registered for the Mayor’s Cup Golf Challenge billed for the Mbabane Club on Sunday.
The tourney has attracted a large number of corporates who will participate in a Four-ball setup (i.e. a four member team per corporate). The game will be played on four-ball two score fashion.
“The winning team shall receive the floating Mayor’s Trophy plus four individual prizes. The next four follow-up teams will also have individual prizes. There shall be refreshments for all after the presentation. The Mayor will do the presentation of prizes,” he said.
Dlamini said each team should be composed of four players, stressing that each team will pay E1 000.

Below is a draw for Sunday’s tournament:

1. Mbabane Mayor’s Team
2. Mbabane Motors
3. Wesbank Swaziland
4. African Alliance
5. Central Bank of Swaziland
6. Canon Swaziland
7. First National Bank
8. MTN Swaziland
9. Real Image First
10. Real Image Second
11. JSMM
12. Kapson Investments
13. Standard Bank Swaziland
14. Swazi Observer

Mbabane City PRO Bongani Dlamini requested the teams to contact him at 6284845 or alternatively Fred Maphandzeni (6022536).
“During the games and after, the business people/corporates will have the chance to talk amongst themselves and Mayors on issues of mutual interest and the general governance of the City. This will be the best opportunity for the parties to share ideas.

The first tournament in 2005 was sponsored by the Standard Bank Swaziland. In 2006, the main sponsor was MTN Swaziland and support sponsor was NedBank Swaziland whilst in 2007, MTN remained the major sponsor with Canon Swaziland as a co-sponsor. MTN Swaziland also promised to sponsor last year’s event which could not because of the political turmoil that engulfed the Council then. Unfortunately, this year, MTN Swaziland could not extend the same olive leaf,” he said.

Sunset Pics at Malolotja Nature Reserve , Swaziland

2009-04-07T03:26:00.000-07:00

Info on Malolotja Nature Reserve:

Malolotja Nature Reserve is situated in the heart of Swaziland's highlands and is the last unspoilt mountain wilderness left in Swaziland. In addition to astounding hill top views you may see numerous animals from ten or more species, plus a unique highveld birdlife.

Several rivers feed this reserve and tend to follow the lines of weakness in the hard quartzite ridges and have cut gorges and deep pools out of the rock and created rapids and waterfalls.

The Malolotja Falls -the highest in Swaziland - cascade over 292 feet (90metres) into thick Afro-montane forest.

The well watered lowlands offer a variety of habitats with swamps and lush plains thick with tall grasses, orchids and lilies, while ancient cycads grow in shaded spots. There is a profusion of wild flowers most of the year. The upper reaches of the river have crystal clear streams and pools good for swimming.

This park is not for the self drive amateur as apart from a meagre 15 miles (25km) of driveable road, the rest are 4x4 trails more suited to a mountain bike. However perseverance allows you to access seldom visited parts such as the top of Ngwenya Mountain.

ANIMALS & BIRDS

Zebra, wildebeest, reedbuck, blesbok, red hartebeest and oribi graze the grasslands while other animals including leopards, serval, aardwolf, jackal and bushpig tend to keep out of sight.

Birdlife is prolific with colourful attractive species like louries, sunbirds and sugarbirds, blue cranes and swallows as well as a breeding colony of bald ibis, who nest on the cliffs near Malolotja Falls.

Hlane Royal National Game Park, Swaziland: Trip report

2009-04-02T05:04:00.000-07:00

Hlane (meaning ‘wilderness’) is the Kingdom of Swaziland’s largest protected area. It is an immense flat lowland thick with 1,000-year-old hardwood trees like knobthorn, leadwood and tambuti with some grasslands and shallow pans.

Hlane has survived the ravages of poaching and competing land uses to emerge as one of Swaziland's best parks and you can self-drive or take guided walks with rangers.

The park has accommodation with an authentic bush feel in self catering thatched huts without electricity. There is also a more modern self-catering camp with family cottages.

This is a malaria FREE area...!!!!

Day Game Drives are Available and are a must, as this is the only way 2 spot the big cats, ie Lions, Leopards and cheetahs...As these are in a protected part of the park and only open 2 Park Vehicles...Game drives are E150-00 PP (2008 Pricing..)

Look out Point overlooking the local Dam.

These were spotted an eyes distance from the main camp....
