The IPL will be played over two months. Moodley’s big break came after he was referred to the team’s management by one of India’s top billionaires whom he had worked with from August last year after a knee injury.
Moodley, who has been practising at Durban’s Kings Park for the past 11 years, said his love for sports began growing up in Merebank, where he would spend hours on the road playing different sports with his neighbours.
Although his ultimate goal is to be part of the Olympics, he said having worked as a physiotherapist for South African teams and individual sport stars, it was a matter of time before he reaped the rewards.
Elaborating on his role in his current job, Moodley said, ‘My job entails overseeing the performance and recovery of the players. Part of management work includes ensuring that I have the best team working to the best of their abilities in ensuring quick recovery of the players.’
His work will also include performing physiotherapy treatments on players and travelling around the country meeting suppliers, team management and players, and planning team and individual programmes.
Moodley has developed a number of treatment programmes and some of them are widely used by other therapists and practitioners.
‘All treatment programmes are individualised using my own techniques. I have developed the most appropriate post op physiotherapy protocol that is now being accepted internationally. Other programmes include how to look after elite sportsmen on a specific level and the Sumeshen Moodley back mobilisations, which l have started teaching,’ he said.
He said his qualification obtained from the University helped him jump-start his career. He believed it laid a good foundation that allowed him to be an independent thinker and challenge the norms. It was the ideal platform to gain the required knowledge, and instilled a work ethic and understanding that things have to be done properly.
He advised recent graduates and students to be humble and be prepared to work 25 hours, seven days a week. ‘Work is not going to come to you, you have to go out there and get it. Be confident in your abilities and have the courage to tell people you are the best and, therefore, they should associate with you. No matter what you do, do it with intense passion and perfection.’
He plans to assist students with extra-curricular experience and skills to help students become more successful. Moodley said after the premier league, there are plans for him to be in charge of the performance of the top athletes in India.
He said another goal includes, at some point, lecturing across different fields from physiotherapy to management ‘having developed strategies that work in practice and in businesses.’
Kusukela kwesobunxele, yiMenenja kaMasipala uDkt Tsepang Nakin, uSolwazi Betty Mubangizi, uKhansela Matsepiso Setenane neMeya kaMasipala uMnu Momelezi Mbedla.Click here for English version
USihlalo Wezocwaningo wokuqala we-NRF-DST eKolishi Lezifundo Zomthetho Nezokuphatha, uSolwazi Betty Mubangizi, usanda kwethula isifundo esinohlonze esigcawini sokucija omasipala kwezokuphatha ngesonto lomhla we-12 kuNhlolanja ngowezi-2019.
Enye yezinhloso ezinkulu zikaSihlalo Wezocwaningo Ku-Sustainable Local (rural) Livelihoods, engaphansi kweSikole Sezokuphatha, Ubuchwepheshe Nokubusa esiseKolishi Lezifundo Zomthetho Nezokuphatha (SMIG), ukulekelela abacwaningi nezikhulu zikahulumeni ukubumba nokuqinisa indlela efanele yokuphatha kuhulumeni ukubhekana nobumpofu nokucwaswa wumphakathi.
Enye yezindlela zokwenza lokhu wukusungula amaxhama okubambisana phakathi kwezikhungo zemfundo ephakeme, izikhulu zikahulumeni nezinhlaka zomphakathi ezindaweni ezisemakhaya.
USolwazi Mubangizi ucobelele amakhansela, izikhulu zikahulumeni nabaholi bomdabu bakaMasipala waseKhaya waseMatitiele, isethulo sakhe esigxile ezinhlosweni zikasiHlalo wezoCwaningo okuhambisana nombono nomgomo kaMasipala.
Isethulo sakhe sigcizelele ubumqoka bamakhono anobuntu ezinhlelweni zokuphatha, ukwazana nobudlelwano ekuthatheni izinqumo kanye nobuholi nokufaka wonke umuntu ekufezeni umbono nomgomo kaMasipala.
Weluleke ngobumqoka bokubona izindawo ezimbalwa lapho izinto zenziwa khona ngendlela esezingeni elicokeme kuMasipala, ngenhloso yokufunda nokuthi leyo ndlela ilandelwe kweminye iminyango nezinhlaka.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uxoxe ngesifiso se-NRF sokuthi imiphumela yocwaningo ifinyelele ebantwini abaningi nokwandisa isibalo sabafundi abenza iziqu eziphakeme. Ngemuva kokuvakashela eMatatiele phambilini, uSolwazi Mubangizi waxhumana nezikhulu zikamasipala nezinye izinhlangano ezinothando lokuthuthukisa izindawo ezisemakhaya.
Eminye imiphumela yalokhu kwaba wukwazisa ngezinhlelo zezifundo zaseNyuvesi zemfundo ephakeme. Kumanje, kunenqwaba yabafundi balezi ziqu e-UKZN ngenxa yalobo budlelwano. Kumanje babili abafundi beziqu zeMastazi nezobuDokotela emikhakheni ehlukene abalulekayo ngokocwaningo abalwenzayo.
UMnu Momelezi Mbedla, iMeya kaMasipala, ebonga uSolwazi Mubangizi, uthe bayabonga ukuthi i-UKZN ifuna ukuthuthukisa isizinda samakhono aseMatitiele.
UDkt Tsepang Nakin, iMenenja kaMasipala, uthe umagange ngomkhankaso wokuthola imali yokuxhasa abafundi abenza iziqu zemfundo ephakeme, ocwaningo lwabo lungakhulisa isizinda solwazi sikaMasipala, lube luthuthukisa izinhlelo zentuthuko.

Umfundi wakudala wase-UKZN nongoti kwezokudla okunempilo, uNkk Penny Kaye (uMa-Burns), ozoklonyeliswa yiNdlovukazi u-Elizabeth wesiBili nge-MBE.Click here for English version
Lo mklomelo omkhulu ukhishwa yiNdlovukazi yamaNgisi, u-Elizabeth wesiBili, minyaka yonke. Lo mklomelo utholwa wumuntu owenza umsebenzi oncomekayo emphakathini nozinikele.
UKaye wathola iziqu ze-BSc Dietetics ne-Diploma ephezulu eNyuvesi yaseNatali (esibizwa ngeNyuvesi yaKwaZulu-Natali) ngowe-1991.

Said Nzimande: ‘I am pleased about the expertise Londeka brings to this think tank to tackle grave challenges at a time when the digital revolution is presenting us with excellent opportunities to find solutions. Among others, she will be providing direction and guidance to ensure integration and seamlessness within the transport sector while charting ways to modernise the transport system.’
Being part of this panel is a humbling experience for Ngubane. She believes that transportation is an essential part of the development of any country and in South Africa, the public transport industry comprises three main modes of transport.
‘Despite the available modes of transportation, South African transport is still plagued by several challenges. The relationships between transportation and the economy are very complex and poorly understood. Transportation is a massive enterprise with substantial direct and indirect effects on economic productivity and economic growth,’ she said.
Ngubane believes that the panel is important as it will be a driving tool in ensuring that there is proper co-ordination between the available modes, its users and the governments on local, national or regional levels.
‘The transport system involves multiple modes across space and thus affects a multiplicity of areas, users and governments on local, national or regional levels
‘Lack of co-ordination among the many actors involved results in inefficiencies and poor use of resources. The need for institutional co-ordination across space and function is critical to developing an integrated and comprehensive transport system,’ she added.
Ngubane is a young upcoming academic with years of research experience specialising in qualitative research methods. Her niche area is safety promotion with the focus on conflict and violence prevention.
She is currently doing research on the state of public transportation in South Africa.
One of the recipients, Mr Rashae Govender from Durban High School, received the UKZN Outstanding Achievement Award for Mathematics and Physical Sciences in Grade 11.
Top achieving Maths and Physical Science learner at Danville Park Girls’ High School, Ms Sanjana Rupnarain, received a trophy for Top Combined Maths and Physical Science learner in Grade 11.
