Petrus Du Plessis Interview
Saint Charles College rugby heading in the right direction.
With Saint Charles College kicking off their winter sports program against Michaelhouse this Saturday we are posting up a series of videos we did towards the end of last year as we caught up with 1st team coach and Director of Rugby, Petrus du Plessis.
Petrus has a long distinguished career in coaching rugby and athletics holding an ASA level 1 and IRB level 2 qualifications.

Maritzburg College hockey overcome Northwood challenge in emphatic fashion
Maritzburg College dominated in their hockey matches against visiting side Northwood, and of the 18 matches played, College won 13, drawing 4 and losing just one in scoring 51 goals with 14 against.
Here’s the 1st XI match report v Northwood from Dylan Coombes, Maritzburg College 1st team coach and director of hockey:
Get in the driving seat with the best. Contact Trish at info@trishsutton.co.za
“Maritzburg College welcomed KZN rivals Northwood to a newly surfaced Pape’s Astro in the opening fixture of the 2019 winter sports season.
“Exceptionally hot conditions would challenge the intensity with which the College 1st XI normally go about their business.
“The 2019 season has also welcomed the introduction of a change in format where four 15-minute quarters [the international norm] have been introduced at 1st team level.
Check out the Maritzburg College first team squad 2019 here on the Maritzburg College Facebook page
https://web.facebook.com/Maritzcollege/videos/1053482648177380/
“The match started with both College and Northwood testing the waters with caution.
“College enjoyed most of the possession; however the first quarter came to a close at 0-0.
“It took until 5 minutes before halftime before it was College who would break the deadlock through debutant D. Bruyns.
“Bruyns showed great instinct in sneaking ahead of his defender in what was very limited space to expertly get off a forehand shot – opening his and College’s account for the 2019 season.

Halftime saw the match evenly poised with only the single goal separating the two teams.
College came out with good intentions in the 2nd half, the frontmen appearing to be revved up by the halftime chat, and showed some exciting interplay and dynamic skills.
“This pressure resulted in College’s 2nd goal, where a baseline circle entry, some good stickwork-and-a-shot from Bruyns saw the ball deflect up with no danger, falling at the far post, where S. Ngcobo was perfectly placed to make a simple finish, putting College 2-0 up.

“Seven minutes later College would win their 5th penalty corner, which saw captain G. Pio step up and slot the ball into the bottom-left corner to see the scoreboard read 3-0 in favour of College.
“Just 4 minutes after College extending their lead, a scrappy patch of play saw Northwood capitalise on poor defending and open their account, a simple finish stemming from fine skill on the baseline (3-1).
“This saw the 3rd quarter out and with the fourth and final quarter left College found another gear and showed some good control.
“College would be rewarded for good pressure and G. Ngcobo found himself perfectly positioned in the back of the circle, where he finished superbly with a forehand strike into the bottom corner.”

Northwood win the big one but overall it’s Maritzburg College’s day
Maritzburg College fielded an impressive 23 rugby teams on Saturday, 9 March 2019 – in the main these were against Northwood, but a number of other schools and development sides were also involved.
Of the 17 games against Northwood, College won an outstanding 16, narrowly losing one.

The first XV match on Goldstones proved to be an exciting contest.
Herewith a report from Maritzburg College first XV head coach Cameron Fraser.
“The highly anticipated fixture of the day did not fail to deliver as the game between the Maritzburg College 1st XV and the highly rated Northwood 1st XV was a spectacle to behold for the neutral and schoolboy rugby follower alike.
More from the second XV match by photographer Justin Waldman.
“Northwood started off very well with a piece of individual brilliance from their left winger Makhaza, crashing over the whitewash for their 1st score of the match. The try was not converted, which left the scoreboard at 5-0.
“College won a scrum in the middle of the field soon after the kick-off and Anele Nzimande managed to outwit his opposite number to dive over under the crossbar. Jacques van der Walt converted, putting College in the lead 7-5.
“Unfortunately, ill-discipline cost College in very kickable areas of the field and Northwood capitalized by slotting both penalty goals.

“The Northwood left wing Makhaza managed to cross the line again after another well-executed scrum attack from them. With that last try, Northwood were ahead by 16 points to 7 at half-time.
“Soon after the whistle for the start of the 2nd half blew, Northwood managed to capitalise on another College handling error and scored a converted try to go 21-7 up.
“College looked livelier in the 2nd half and managed to pull back an early try by Siya Ningiza in the fifth minute, converted by van der Walt for the score to read Northwood 21 Maritzburg College 14.
More from the second team game courtesy of photographer Justin Waldman.
“College looked motivated in the 2nd half and had the lion’s share of possession for the first 20 minutes.
“College won a number of penalties, with which they were able to pin Northwood back and eventually off a lineout in the Northwood 22, Philani Simamane managed to fool the defenders with a dummy pass and cut straight through the middle of the Northwood defensive line to score College’s 3rd try. Van der Walt once again slotted the conversion which saw the scoreboard reading 23-21 to Northwood.
“With a scrum in the opposition 22 and 15 minutes to go, College looked menacing, but the ball was lost in contact and the loose ball was kicked through several times by the Northwood fullback eventually for the ball to be grounded in the College in-goal area.
When it’s a cliffhanger finish, PMB-based Clox Scoreboards will never let you down. http://clox.co.za/
“After that try against the run of play, the score saw Northwood leading by 30 points to 21.
“Even though the writing was on the wall for College, they did not stop and with space out wide Michael King managed to score a try in the corner with 4 minutes to spare, leaving Northwood 30-26 to the good.
“As the clock ticked down, College looked threatening, but as fate would have it College lost the ball in contact with one minute left.”
Northwood secured the scrum and ate up the leftover time with short pick-and-go options and the Durban North side were left to reflect that their 30-26 triumph was the first by Northwood over Maritzburg College in the school’s history.
The moment: Northwood supporters rush on to Goldstones to congratulate the first team on the school’s first-ever first XV victory over Maritzburg College.
“Northwood made better use of their chances on the day whereas College could have executed better. Congratulations to Northwood on their victory, it was a hard-fought battle and an entertaining match.”
A big KZN10.com thank you to Maritzburg College first XV head coach Cameron Fraser for the report.

St Charles College first XI riding the wave
The St Charles College first XI were the only KZN side to win all three matches at the hugely successful 2019 edition of the St Alban’s College Independent Schools Festival in Pretoria last weekend.
These are heady times for Saints cricket. Indeed it is arguably the most momentous time in the history of this highly regarded education institution’s sporting arm – most certainly in the cricket sports code – since its inception all those years ago in 1875.
The Coca-Cola Schools T20 National Franchise Finals are from March 15 to 17 at Tuks in Pretoria and for the first time a St Charles College first XI will be at The Big Show, and in Jono’s opinion have a very real chance of making the Gold Medal Match and a tilt at the SA T20 trophy.
St Charles College first XI captain Wessly Madhevere brings the X-Factor to matches.
The more-recent Journey to ISCF (it actually began 3 years ago when the nucleus of this side entered he first XI arena) had its inception last Wednesday during the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Dolphins Franchise Final when the evening at the PMB Oval heralded a comprehensive 38-run win over KZN Coastal champs Westville.
The KZN Inland winners were simply electrifying in the title showdown, be it batting, bowling or fielding.

Saints’ differentiators are a match-winning spin trio, Ka-Boom blast-offs at the top of the batting order, brilliant running between the wickets and a – in my many years – never-before seen ability to effect direct run outs from any position and every possible angle.
Talismanic captain Wessly Madhevere won yet another man-of-the-match accolade.
A bus trip to Pretoria that began before dawn Thursday was long and tedious but the Saints led by 2019 ICC U19 World Cup Joint Player of the Tournament Wessly Madhevere quickly settled down and proceeded to take their record number of wins in succession to a new high of 16 victories from 16 starts.

KZN10.com asked Saints head coach Murray Cole-Edwardes, who is also the Head of Middle School, to tell us more:
“Thanks Jono, always good to talk cricket with you. Yes, after last Wednesday night’s heroic efforts against Westville in the final of the Coca-Cola Dolphins Franchise T20 tournament, the Saints XI were quick to dismiss any rumours of tiredness and complacency.
“The boys quickly applied their minds to the festival where they were set up for three testing encounters against challenging opposition. With rain delays on the Thursday, the 2-day game against St Andrew’s Bloemfontein was reduced to a single-innings game on the Friday.”
Don’t get caught on a sticky wicket. John Smithers has got your back. Call John now at 082 337 2049 or go to www.midlandssepticservices.co.za
Jono says: Given that Friday allowed for a minimum 120 overs (20 overs or more in the last hour) there was still a lot of cricket to play in the match.
Back to Murray: “As mentioned, Thursday’s cricket never got off the ground, so Friday morning Saints won the toss and chose to bat, expecting to bat out their allotted overs.
“The Saints had to work incredibly hard on a difficult wicket at Cornwall Hill College and managed to accumulate 161 in 59 overs.

“Under exceptionally trying circumstances, this was probably our most accomplished batting performance of the season, Clive Madande and Wes Madhevere, scoring 38 and 36 respectively.
“In reply, St Andrew’s School Bloemfontein never came close to reaching the target of 162. Our tall opening bowler Kian Channon was in irresistible form up front and finished with figures of 5 for 17, earning his first bowling accolade for the 1st XI.
“At one stage St Andrew’s Bloem were 6 wickets for 5 runs… Channon was simply unplayable, hitting his areas on every delivery.
The St Charles College first XI with the Coca-Cola KZN Inland T20 trophy after outplaying hosts Michaelhouse in the final on 8 Feb 2019.
“Day 3 saw the scheduled 50-over match reduced to a Saturday afternoon T20 – the incredible wind and rain the night before was something else.”
Jono: Numerous veterans of the unpredictability of Highveld weather said this particular example was extreme – even by their standards, apropos the testimony to passion, organisational skill and faculty to think on their feet that was ISCF heads Craig Hoyer and Krinesan Moodley in pivoting at quick-speed to dilute the effect of three unplayable fields by condensing the day’s scheduled 50-over fare into the T20 format on the available grounds, thus ensuring that every side got a game in.
Murray: “So everything was set up nicely for a crunch game against hosts St Alban’s, in front of distinguish guests.”
Guess who popped in to see the Saints in action at St Albans? Last year’s head boy Matt Mortimer. Hair considerably longer than this pic of last year, attire considerably casual-er, and fully into Varsity mode. Great to see you Matt.
Indeed, many parents and boys stayed on after the morning T20s to watch what was expected to be a cracker – the 2018 Titans champs vs the 2019 Dolphins go-to boys.
“St Charles College were asked to bowl first and were superb with the ball; our outstanding leg-spinner Jason Login doing the damage with figures of 3 for 19 in 4.
“However, for the first time this year our fielding was sub-standard and allowed St Alban’s to reach a modest but defendable target.
“Be that as it may, the Saints boys would have been content to chase 117 off 20 overs if you had offered it to them before the game.”
The undisputed leaders in KZN scoreboards PMB-based https://clox.co.za/
Jono: St Albans kingpin, stylish left-hander Jordan Proudfoot, was looking in imperious form and his demise in the 40s signalled an ultimately fatal fault in the host side’s momentum.
Jono again: Masterblaster Clive Madande has been in remarkable, match-winning form for Saints this year, be it with the bat, ball, in the field and even behind the stumps, which occurred for a period during the St Andrew’s Bloem game. Sans protective leg-guards, groin protector or helmet, Clive proceeded to produce a top-class wicketkeeping display.
Let’s get back to Murray.
“Clive began the innings in scintillating fashion and continued his magnificent form, scoring 54 in Saints reaching 80/0 in 10 overs.”

Jono again: That left 38 off 60 with 10 wickets in hand. A doddle, surely? But St Albans thought otherwise.
Inspired by a probing spell of Jordan Proudfoot off-spin, Saints PMB became rushed in looking to finish the off the match and their fans went through many an anxious moment that is not reflected in the 5-wicket outcome.
That said, the Clive Madande gem was the kick-blast that set the Saints win up, and a quick-fire 23 by skipper Wes Madhevere sealed the 5-wicket St Charles College victory in an encounter much appreciated by the large, festive crowd.

The final game of the festival was the T20 against St David’s on their home turf. On a blistering hot morning, Saints won the toss and chose to bat. Again, Madande was in top form, scoring 43, and was ably supported by Humphrey van der Merwe, who made 23.
Once again St Charles raced to 80/1 after 10 overs. With 9 wickets in hand and oodles of batting to come, the remaining 60 balls were perfectly set up for Saints to launch for a total around the 180-200 mark.
Unfortunately the Saints never capitalised on this start and only managed to score 136.

However, the Saints bowlers, now renowned for their spin attack, squeezed the St David’s batsman and, in truth, the contest was over as soon as that dynamic Saints spin trio of Madande, Login and Madhevere were introduced.
Murray: “Jason Login was again the pick of the bowlers, with 3 wickets. He continues his good form with bat and ball and highlights his position as one of the leading cricketers in the province.”
Jono says Amen to that. The Login Factor is becoming a thorn in the side of every opposition.
St Charles College head coach Murray Cole-Edwardes leads from the front. Communication is clear, discipline paramount and the observance of cricket etiquette non-negotiable.

Mention must also be made of the massive contribution that the widely regarded Saints first XI assistant coach Lucky Dladla has made to this team.
Ever-observant, nothing gets past Lucky’s knowledgeable cricket brain. The Murray-Lucky link is a winning combination.
Murray again:
“It has been a privilege to coach these boys this year. 16 consecutive wins against top opposition is testament to all the hard work the team have put into training sessions.
“They have remained humble and after each victory, worked harder. For us, it has all become about the team.”
“Our highest accolade at this wonderful St Alban’s-hosted-and-organised festival came on the Saturday afternoon, against St Albans.
The hospitality team said the St Charles College boys were their favourites because of their humility and manners. There can be no higher praise.
“On behalf of the 1st XI we would like to thank the St Charles College community for their support. We endeavour every match to make the Saints Family proud. We would also like to thank St Alban’s College for being such welcoming and able hosts.”

Fideli Certa Merces … To The Faithful One, A Certain Reward
Nic C and Roeland B make the best Black Friday Super Sale blush
Last Friday Kearsney College made it 3 excellent outings from 3 for the KZN10 vs English tourists Wellington College. This followed the Wednesday clash at Hilton that saw the visitors saved by the rain, and the Thursday clash buttoned up by Michaelhouse.
Bowling was at its best in the performances of Hilton College U17A off-spinner Nic Campbell and Michaelhouse first XI seamer Roeland van den Berg, who were in irresistible form, snapping up 12 wickets at a giveaway price.
Back to the Kearsney match: After the disappointment of the Feb 9 first XI drubbing to the tune of 9 wickets by the Hilton College first XI at the Jack Hart-Davis Oval, the Kearsney 1st XI enjoyed a morale-boosting 7-wicket win against visiting England school Wellington College.
(To be fair, Feb 9 was not all a tale of woe for the Kearsney Cricket programme, as the U14A’s and 16A’s beat Hilton).
Feature pic* Hilton College U17 finger spinner Nic Campbell was devastating in picking up a six-fer virtually nothing against Wellington College. A Philippa photo image
So on a balmy Friday Feb 8 at the AH Smith Oval, Kearsney won the toss and elected to field first against Wellington College UK in a match reduced to 45 overs per side.
A somewhat sticky wicket gave some advantage to the bowlers with wickets falling at regular intervals.
Kearsney College U15s and the Chatsworth Regional Performance Centre XI had a cracker T20 at Chats Oval.
Pick of the Kearsney bowlers were Chase Kelly with 3/19 in 9 overs, ably supported by Joshua Stocks as well as newcomers Matt Murray and Matthew D’Eramo.
Wellington College made 141/9 to which Kearsney replied with 142/3.
Louis Nel (45) and Dylan Hulett (61*) played well, working the singles nicely and punishing any loose deliveries.
A good win by 7 wickets for the home side in a match played in good spirit.

This Kearsney win was preceded by last Thursday Feb 14’s equally emphatic 6-wicket T20 victory by Michaelhouse over the Wellington lads on the Roy Gathorne Oval in Balgowan.
The strongly built seamer Roeland van den Berg ran through the heart of the Wellington innings in picking up a six-fer next-to-nothing as the English tourists were bundled out for 88.
Michaelhouse ran down the target with 30-plus balls to spare, with a Luke Gammie 53 underlining the six-wicket House win.
To complete the back-to-back-to-back domination of the three KZN10 teams over Wellington College (a stately school with its own 18-hole golf course), their first match was a 40-over Wed Feb 13 vs a Hilton College U17A team led by Colby Dyer, the 16-year-old Dolphins U19 Cubs Week wrist-spinner and handy batsman.

Hilton made 222/5 in 40 with Slade van Staden hitting a majestic unbeaten 127 in his first innings for his school, and Ethan Bain 29. Wellington were teetering on 74/8 after 20 overs when the weather conditions forced the match to end.
Hilton U17 off-spinner Nic Campbell conjured up a stunning exhibition of control and guile in setting his six-pack up.
Nic’s flight, line, length and turn were fundamental in his six wickets coming at a price that would make the best Black Friday sale blush.
Campbell’s skill set up a series of batsmen in quick succession – enticed forward and bowled through the gate.
For the Slade batting and Campbell bowling alone it was worth the trip up or down the N3 for the group of Hilton fans and UK parents at the Jack H-D Oval.

* Thanks for the Kearsney-Wellington info Neil Peacock.
Meanwhile, a match that took place towards the end of last month has recently come to my attention.
Kearsney U15’s emerged winners in the last over of a low-scoring yet thrilling Momentum Friendship Games encounter with the Chatsworth Regional Performance Centre side at the immaculate Chatsworth Oval.
Captain Callum McKoen top-scored for Kearsney U15’s in that last-over 8-run win.
McKoen played a controlled innings of 43 off 42 deliveries (3x4s) to help his side recover from a shaky start (the total was 4 runs for the loss of 2 sticks).
Nothing quite like it when a plan comes together. Go Kearsney U15s!
Kearsney eventually posted 101/6 after the allotted 20 overs.
Matthew Bergsett (9) helped McKoen to steady the ship, notching up a 32-run stand for the third wicket before Chatsworth RPC’s Bonga Shezi (1/17) got Bergsett to leave Kearsney 36/3 in the eighth over.
Despite losing his partner, KC skipper McKoen continued the battle at the crease, recording three boundaries as he played the role of the aggressor in a 42-run partnership with Bryce Wiggett (17).
McKoen was finally dismissed, with Chats RPC’s Vumani Magwaza (1/19) taking a smart caught and bowled to remove the dangerous Kearsney skipper just seven runs short of a half-century.
Nothing makes a Kearsney Old Boy smile more than a KC team with clear vision. Consult the experts. Make an appointment. http://www.hilliarandgray.co.za/contact/
Following the dismissal of their captain, Kearsney College added a further 19 runs to end on the triple-figure score for the loss of six wickets.
Mohammed Shaik (1/3) and captain Kamaran Naraidu (1/17) were the other wicket-takers for home side Chatsworth RPC U15’s.
In reply, the Chatsworth RPC got off to a slow start.
The hosts could only score 15 runs in the opening five overs before Joshua Page was skittled for four in the sixth over.
Ryan Naicker then partnered with Ndumiso Xolo (8) and the pair took their side to 41/1 before disaster struck.
Teamwork is key when it comes down to making every ball count in your favour. Kearsney 15s have got this one!
Chats RPC lost four wickets in four consecutive overs, one of them Naicker (27) at the expense of just six runs thanks to three run outs and a wicket from Wiggett (1/13).
Faced with an uphill battle on 47/5 after 15 overs, requiring 55 runs to win, the Chatsworth outfit had to dig in to secure a result.
Braydon Naidoo and Asanda Khanyile fought hard to add 20 runs to the score before the latter was bowled by Lethu Gwarube (2/9) for nine.
Mihir Behari (15) joined Naidoo out in the middle and got off the mark with a lovely drive to the boundary before adding another one 3 balls later.

Mihir’s efforts to up the run rate were short-lived, though, with Kearsney U15’s Jayce van Eeden (2/16) claiming his wicket.
Heading into the final over, the home side required 17 runs for the win but despite conceding nine off it, Van Eeden kept his nerve.
Van was the man for the moment, dispatching Braydon Naidoo back to the hut for 16 and helped restrict Chatsworth to 93/8 in their 20 overs to take his team to that slender 8-run victory.

Michaelhouse vs Maritzburg College
An epic clash between two schools in a rich vein of form. Michaelhouse again were led by all star performers Kwanele Khumalo and JC Oelofse who, when their team needed crucial baskets, were able to click into a higher gear and maintain the Michaelhouse lead.
Maritzburg College fought manfully the whole afternoon, but crucial defensive lapses at key moments cost them dearly and were never really able to exert enough pressure on the Michaelhouse team to knock them off their stride.
An encouraging sign for the College program was that not one game was lost in the U14 and U15 age groups whilst in the open age groups there seemed to be a great deal of parity.

Pivotal Talent can change your game
“Pivotal”: of crucial importance in the development of success.
“Talent”: a natural aptitude, gift or skill.
KZN10.com introduces Will Hardie of Pivotal Talent:
Jono says, “Hi Will, I am so chuffed to discuss subject choice and career guidance options with you, as it is close to my heart, based on my history, as well as my having children who will shortly be faced with the challenges these crucial choices can have on their future in the workplace.”
Feature image: Maritzburg College Old Boy Joel Stransky and Michaelhouse Old Boy Will Hardie, Pivotal Talent business partners.
Jono continues, “I went the traditional psychometric testing route when I was in grade 9 and then again in grades 11 and 12.
“Unfortunately the results were so off the mark that it took 14 years in the ‘workplace wilderness’ before I stumbled – purely by chance, into sports journalism, an occupation I have happily been in for close on 25 years now.
“If only I had had the opportunity to go the Pivotal Talent route.”
Pivotal Talent’s Online SubjectChoice (Grade 9) & CareerGuide (Grades 10, 11 & 12) solutions replace uncertainty with accuracy in directing your children’s full potential. Check out www.careerguidesolution.co.za
Upon accessing the Pivotal Talent web link, KZN10 is your reference code in completing the assessment.
“So what is Pivotal Talent, did you devise it or is it a product that originates from elsewhere?
Michaelhouse Old Boy Will Hardie says, “Thanks very much for the opportunity Jono!
“Pivotal Talent is a proudly South African-based technology entity (part of the Pivotal Group of Companies) and is a powerful web-based analytics tool that accurately & scientifically helps individuals predict their core interests, skills and performance strengths relative to available and evolving career fields.
“The solution was founded and developed by Dr Juan Swartz to primarily help companies more accurately and intelligently recruit, develop and retain key staff in their organisation.
“However, as the solution evolved and matured, a further opportunity was identified to help students, sports professionals and individuals interested in a career change.
“From a Schools Focus perspective, and for the purposes of this discussion, Pivotal Talent offers SubjectChoice for Grade 9s and CareerGuide for Grade 10, 11 and 12s.”
Jono says, “Will, your Pivotal Talent business partner is Joel Stransky, one of the founding members of the Pivotal Technology Group AND the 1995 Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok flyhalf – I was sitting behind the posts when Joel snapped over that matchwinning drop-goal!
“Will, you were an accomplished loose forward in your days at Michaelhouse and then at Varsity. Joel was at Durban Varsity around the same time you were playing for Maritzburg Varsity; did you ever play in the same team or perhaps against each other?
Joel Stransky & Will Hardie are Pivotal Talent. KZN10 is your reference code in completing the SubjectChoice (Grade 9) or CareerChoice (Grades 10, 11 & 12) assessments at www.careerguidesolution.co.za
Will says, “Jono, I wish I had played in the same team as Joel! Unfortunately, that never materialised for me. However, I did play against Joel in my Michaelhouse grade 12 year (we got hammered) when he was at Maritzburg College and we may have crossed paths on the rugby field at Varsity.”
Jono says, “So Will, what was the unique motivation for you and Joel around Pivotal Talent?”
“Jono, we believe that Pivotal Talent is a world-first augmented intelligence (AI) analytics solution that goes well beyond the traditional aptitude & psychometric evaluation process and which very accurately helps to predict an individual’s full potential.
“It’s a carefully calibrated questionnaire that can scientifically and automatically match an individual’s interests and skill-set to suitable careers (and, in turn, also subject choices).
“In short, Pivotal Talent is a cost-effective and efficient online assessment that takes no more than 60 to 90 minutes to complete; is simple and very easy to follow and generates a highly detailed, individualised report instantaneously.
“As an aside, my 2 older children, currently studying at University, both completed their Pivotal Talent SubjectChoice and CareerGuide assessments at School and are now studying degrees that are 100% aligned to respective careers – as predicted originally by Pivotal Talent!”
Jono: “That happy situation would certainly take the weight off many parents’ shoulders, including a number of moms and dads that I know.
“So what makes Pivotal Talent a fresh option, when our high school boys and girls must make subject-choice or career-choice – and thereby tertiary studies – decisions?”
Pivotal Talent SubjectChoice (Grade 9) and CareerGuide (Grades 10, 11 and 12) takes the uncertainty out of choosing the right subjects for you.Upon accessing the Pivotal Talent web link www.careerguidesolution.co.za and completing one of the assessments, please use the KZN10 reference code.
Will’s response: “Jono, we believe that the Pivotal Talent value proposition, namely SubjectChoice and CareerGuide, is a unique solution to what can be a daunting undertaking.
“Apart from the obvious ‘softer’ benefits of Pivotal Talent, such as convenience (can complete the online assessment anywhere in the world and on any device), being substantially more cost-effective and its instant reporting capability, the compelling differentiators we advocate are as follows:
“Unique algorithms for matching – Pivotal Talent uses complex and proprietary algorithms which scientifically match individuals based on the skills, characteristics, capabilities and faculties that predict performance to the unique tasks, performance criteria and success factors required in different careers.
“Scientific approach – Pivotal Talent is based on objective, validated research from top global institutions compiled from research into multiple fields over the last 60 years, and we use this information in our model to more accurately match individuals with the right career options.
“Automated – Pivotal Talent is an automated solution. Results are available immediately after completing an online questionnaire, and focus is provided to help individuals develop a plan of action that moves them towards a particular career path and ultimate employability.
“Multifaceted – The suitability of a career path is based on, 1) how the scholar measures against the key performance criteria in that career path, 2) the scholar’s interest in the tasks performed in the career path, and 3) the desirability of that career path, including elements such as opportunities.
Jono says, “Will, I found the 4 differentiators mentioned above particularly interesting… it makes a lot of sense. So with respect to the genesis of the Pivotal Talent model – did you and your team research and then align with international ‘best practice’ variants in establishing the necessary validity and reliability of the Pivotal Talent blueprint?”
Will: “First and foremost, our solution is theoretically valid, as it only draws on corroborated research from the top institutions globally. We ensure reliability and validity by only incorporating constructs that are supported through extensive quantitative research.
Replace uncertainty with accuracy in directing your child’s full potential. Use KZN10 as your reference code in completing your Pivotal Talent online SubjectChoice (Grade 9s) or CareerGuide (Grade 10, 11 & 12) assessment. www.careerguidesolution.co.za
“Our solution is corroborated by integrating constructs that have been found to be predictors of performance across different fields of study.
“These theoretical models are then validated by statistical analysis, whereby the model utility -and thus the predictive power of the model within the client’s environment – is tested to ensure precision and accuracy.
“Where construct validity is a theoretical concern, our model is based on constructs that have been theoretically postulated to have a causal link to performance.
“Accuracy and precision are our main proof points, as our solution is not a standardised assessment, but rather an analytical model that accurately and precisely predicts performance in a career.”
Jono: “Will, once again you have hit on a point that resonates with me, Accuracy and Precision, something sorely lacking in my case when it came to subject- and career-choice decisions during my schooldays.
“Will, is there anything else you would like to add?”
“The Pivotal Talent SubjectChoice and CareerGuide have been available to the South African market for 2 years now and have already seen a lot of interest and adoption across several provinces and multiple Schools. The feedback from Schools, scholars and parents has been incredibly positive on all fronts.”
Jono wraps it up: “Thanks for the chat, Will; I have personally found this to be one of the most interesting and rewarding interviews in my going-on 25 years in the media workspace. I have no doubt that Pivotal Talent will greatly assist Scholars to accurately predict subject choices and career choices – the 2 areas of uncertainty that plague our children and parents daily – and yet are both so crucial in plotting the way forward.”
Will’s response: “Thank you for the opportunity to share the exciting Pivotal Talent SubjectChoice and CareerGuide story with you Jono. KZN10.com has a fantastic following thanks to your efforts, and Joel and I are hugely excited at the prospect of working with and adding value to your wonderful cause. All the best!”

Basketball Results 28 January
Here are this last weekends basketball results. With rain and drizzle across the province many of the matches were cancelled but there were still a few entertaining fixtures.
St Charles College vs Maritzburg College
As our preview last week pointed out, this clash would be something to savor and it did not disappoint. With the rain causing the cancellation of all outdoor games the Samukela Khumalo Arena was the focus for the afternoon. Overall a good day for College played 4 won 4.
Michaelhouse vs DHS
Saturday was a relatively successful day for the Michaelhouse basketball program winning 7 and losing 6 against visitors DHS and filler fixtures from Hilton College.
The first team game pitted the undefeated Michaelhouse team against perennial power house DHS. It was a battle of the star performers as Kwanela Khumalo of Michalehouse scored 26 energetic and powerful points to lead the team in scoring. On the other side was Buyani Ngcemu who must be one of the best schoolboy basketball players in the province at the moment. He continually made crucial baskets to try and keep DHS in the contest.
Early in the fourth quarter the DHS guards started placing extreme pressure on their counterparts and cut the lead to 2 points. But, as was the case the whole afternoon, back would come Michaelhouse lead by Khumalo who was simply to good on the day to stretch the Michaelhouse lead.
Kkumalo was ably supported by KZN Schools team mate JC Oelofse whose deft touches around the basket and feathery outside shooting created many mismatches in the DHS ranks and contributed 17 points of his own. The final score of 69-59 indicates a fairly comfortable day for Michaelhouse but credit must go to the DHS boys as the showed tremendous grit and heart to keep the game close.
Kearsney vs Clifton
Kearsney would be well please on the day winning 12 of the 13 matches the played against Clifton College and Maritzburg College. On the day the Kearnsey College shooters relished playing at home and took full advantage of their home court. Clifton will be well please with the fight shown by their U15A boys.
Hilton College vs Northwood
A good day for Hilton College at home winning 8 and losing 4 against Northwood, Michaelhouse and Grace College. A good home win for Ayanda Shange as he continues to work with his 1st team.
