inance Minister Nhlanhla Nene has asked South Africans for their views on the upcoming Budget Speech and the general state of the economy.

Minister Nene will table his Budget Speech in parliament on 25 February.

Minister Nene has asked the public to contribute its ideas on how the dynamics of the country's cities can be changed so it can improve living conditions, modernise transport and communications infrastructure and expand economic activity.

He also wants to know how government can reinforce support for exporting businesses and improve their competitiveness and by so doing increase the capacity of the economy to create more jobs.

Minister Nene also wants ideas on how to improve the country's ability to expand the skills base of the economy.

In October last year, the Department of Finance said government had no option but to adjust expenditure and increase taxes so as to return the fiscus to a sustainable path.

responsible fiscal framework. Besides limiting headline spending, in February we will provide certainty as to how our large state owned enterprises will be run and how they will be held to account – particularly since their service delivery is so critical for investors to determine if projects are viable.”

The Minister said there had to be an improvement in the way in which communication with the private sector occurs.

“Increased consultation about perceived problems in the economy, in particular before the drafting of legislative bills, would help to reduce uncertainty as well as the need for revisions to legislation. We are working with business, community and labour to find ways to mend our fractious labour relations,” he said.

Additionally, government is reducing red tape and finding ways to unlock investment potential.

“South Africa offers significant opportunities at home and abroad. We are forging ahead with our regional partners to create a continent that is strong, resilient and competitive.” - SAnews.gov.za

“This decision was informed by the difficult economic environment, both locally and globally, as well as the high level of debt government has accumulated since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008,” Minister Nene said.

The budget framework announced by the Department of Finance in October seeks to restore balance to public finances, boost investment and ensure government improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the expenditure of public funds.

“In line with the National Development Plan (NDP), our medium term objective is to ensure that government spending promotes economic growth and enables increased investment by the private sector,” the department said.

SA Seeks To Stimulate Investment In Electricity Sector outh Africa is looking at ways to encourage investment in its electricity sector, as well as find ways to unlock investment potential, says Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene.

“We are looking at ways to encourage the private sector to invest with us, to build up the electricity capacity of the country and encourage further investment,” said the Minister, who was speaking at a dinner held on Thursday under the theme 'Reimagining Africa's future and South Africa's role in Africa's integration'.

He said the Department of Energy's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Programme has been a success story that speaks to government's commitment to work with the private sector as well as its desire to encourage investment.

Minister Nene said the most pressing constraint to future investment in South Africa was the electricity shortage.

“We need this to grow our market at home and to provide our regional partners with a rising market. The most pressing constraint to future investment in this country is our electricity shortage.

Eskom Moves Into Stage Two Load Shedding Sanral Responds To

D

ue to a shortage of generation capacity, Eskom has moved to stage two load shedding.

“We moved to stage two in order to manage our reserves at our pump storage schemes and gas turbines so that we can better manage the rest of the week,” said Eskom Acting Chief Executive Dan Marokane on Tuesday.

Stage two load shedding began at 11.30am and is set to continue until 10pm.

Earlier today, the power utility implemented stage one load shedding following yesterday's load shedding.

Stage one load shedding allows for up to 1 000MW to be shed off the grid, while stage two allows for up to 2 000MW to be

shed. Stage three of load shedding allows for up to 4 000MW to be shed.

“At our pumped storage schemes (which use water to generate electricity), the dam levels are low because we were not able to pump the water back to full capacity over the weekend.

“This is a result of us having to use our pumped storage schemes over the weekend to meet demand. Ordinarily, the weekends are used to pump our dam levels to maximum capacity in preparation for the forecasted increased demand in electricity during the week,” said the utility.

The power grid is extremely constrained and will remain so for the rest of the summer.

Eskom has urged consumers to switch off geysers, air

conditioners, pool pumps and all non-essential appliances throughout the day to reduce electricity demand.

Customers are advised to check load shedding schedules, which are available on the Eskom website (http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za ). They can also contact the customer call centre on 0860 037 566. Municipal customers are urged to contact their local authorities.

Moody's Downgrade The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) says it is not surprised by the downgrade over the e-tolling system by credit rating agency, Moody's Investors Service.

Sanral chief financial officer Inge Mulder said: “Sanral is solvent, although non-payment of tolls has had a negative impact on the debt levels on the toll portfolio.

“The non-toll portfolio, which covers 85% of the national road network, is healthy. Sanral was not surprised by Moody's downgrade of its rating from stable to negative.”

Mulder said the ratings agency had warned at the time of the previous two ratings (July and November 2014) that any failure by Sanral to generate e-toll revenue leading to deteriorating cash flows and growing borrowing needs would lead to a downgrade.

“We were ahead of forecasted income at the time when the E-toll Advisory Panel was announced by the Gauteng Province.

“Since then, income has dipped appreciably and Moody's itself makes a correlation between the increase in the non-payment of etolls and the decision by the Gauteng province to establish a panel to assess the socio-economic impact of e-tolls – something that could have sparked speculation among the general public that the etoll project may be abandoned.

“We now await the outcome of the process led by Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa on e-tolling to provide policy clarity as well as the funding model for the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP). With policy certainty, we can devise a plan to repay our debt, which should improve our rating,” Mulder said.

The road agency operates two portfolios - toll roads and non-toll roads. The non-toll portfolio consists of funds from the national fiscus, an amount of approximately R10 billion per annum.

The funds are used by Sanral to manage its non-toll network which accounts for 85% of the total national road network of 21 403 km. There are no funding challenges with the non-toll portfolio as it is business as usual.

The agency tolls are financed through the capital markets by issuing bonds and the ones operated by the concessionaires are financed through private sector capital on a Build, Operate and Transfer basis.

“The second portfolio accounts for 15% of the total road network, and constitutes of agency tolls (1 832 km) and those run by concessionaires (1 288 km).

“Importantly, there is no crosssubsidisation of funds between the toll portfolio and the non-toll portfolio,” said Mulder.

Premier Mabuza Gives A Life Present To Miss Mpumalanga's Mom Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza on Tuesday, 13 January 2015, gave what he described as a “life present”, an upmarket luxurious three-bedroom house, to the mother of the current Miss Mpumalanga, Natasha Dos Santos.

Speaking at the house handover ceremony in Tekwane outside Mbombela, Premier Mabuza explained that he donated a house built through his DD Mabuza Foundation after he was “touched”

by Natasha's story that regardless of being crowned Miss Mpumalanga in April last year, she came from a poor background and that her family lived in a shack on a mountainous area.

Ever since she won the 2014 provincial beauty contest, Natsha had never parked her car at their yard because the home was inaccessible; hence the Premier built them a house at a decent stand.

“I was touched by her [Miss Mpumalanga] attitude that regardless of the background, she was determined to win. As a provincial government we always ask her to go motivate the learners at the schools, but we needed to ensure that she spoke with confidence knowing that she had a better home.

“I thought we should give her mother the present of their life, she has managed to raise her children under the difficult circumstances.

As for Miss Mpumalanga, she should continue to be the best role model; we are sending her to school to pursue her tertiary education, the DD Mabuza Foundation is giving her a bursary for free,” said Mabuza.

He added that the house was like “Freedom Day” to them.

have the roof over your head and that you are secured. Today is your Freedom Day,” said Mabuza.

This was not the only house the Premier donated today. He gave another three-bedroom house to a single mother of nine children, Ms Joana Thabethe at Ngodini. The Premier thanked the sponsors of both houses saying they displayed a good gesture in changing the lives of others for the better.

“This is a basic problem in the country that as long as we have unstable families, we will not have a nation. In our case, we have broken families, therefore we do not expect a good society to emerge. Everywhere we go, we see struggling families, but we believe that one day we will conquer this war and we will have stable families.

A three-bedroom house Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza donated “The impact which the sponsors have done is huge and is valuable, these families will now have their dignity restored. We are in the middle of this road, it is a long, hard, winding and painful journey, but today these families are stepping into their democracy,” said Mabuza.

The Premier urged other people to contribute in changing the lives of others instead of fighting amongst each other. He added that people should share their wealth in order to be blessing to others.

“We can only succeed when we are united and people will respect,” said Mabuza.

Both houses were financially sponsored and built by Deep Space Construction and Nemotcon Holdings as from November last year. Again both companies further donated school uniforms, furniture and food parcels.

“As from today, you will have a peaceful sleep knowing that you

Premier Mabuza Awards Bursaries To Three Emalahleni Learners Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza on Wednesday, 14 January 2015, awarded bursaries to three Mabande Comprehensive School learners in Phola Township in Emalahleni Local Municipality for being the school's top achievers.

Premier Mabuza visited the school near Ogies, west of Emalahleni Municipality, as part of the school visits programme countrywide.

The Premier was impressed with Sibusiso Masango, Deborah Maphanga and Sithembiso Mbanjwa maths and physical science results as they were the top three achievers, and he subsequently awarded them with free bursaries to pursue their tertiary education at their preferred institutions.

He congratulated them and committed to give more free bursaries and laptops if the current

class of matric at the school would achieve a 100 percent pass rate.

“We congratulate these learners for their efforts, it is not easy to be at school and on top of all end up passing. It must have been a long journey for them growing up and concentrating on their education, ours is to try encourage and take them to their next destination,” said Mabuza.

Mabuza took time to inspire other learners saying they should stay away from alcohol and drugs, but should look after themselves.

“Stay away from nyaope, do not even taste alcohol, it is for the elders because they can handle themselves when they are drunk.

Start today to prepare for your final examinations, stay next to your teachers and look after yourselves.

“We can only make the face of the country look better if we make you the better people. We expect the best, and we believe in you that you can do it. As for the Grade 12 class, we want to say this is your last year at the school, we do not need you here next year, go and work and make us proud,” said Mabuza.

He warned the girl learners not to be distracted by the desire to want to earn the child social grants. He said they should have the desire to have children once they have completed school and studied for their desired qualifications.

“We want young women to be liberated too, but somehow it looks like the child social grants seem to be distracting them, really babies are more than social grants, we want Mpumalanga Premier inspires the learners to stay focused on their all girl children to be at school education at Mabande Comprehensive School in Emalahleni learning instead of queuing for the grants,” said Mabuza.

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY

Water Quality Results Overview Report

OVERALL

January 2014 – June 2014 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION This report indicates an overview of water quality status for the last six months (i.e. January 2014 – June 2014) across Mkhondo Local Municipality jurisdiction area. The report is generated from the monthly water quality results received from Gert Sibande District Municipality Water Quality Laboratory.

However the report provides summary information on water quality results as required for legislation compliance and thus includes percentage characterisation of water quality against national standards limit/standards for the specified period.

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY OVERVIEW FOR SIX MONTHS

2 OVERVIEW WATER QUALITY RESULTS Mkhondo Local Municipality serves as the Water Service Authority (WSA) and also Water Service Provider (WSA). The municipality provides access to water for the communities within its jurisdiction in accordance to the constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996), the Municipal Structures Act (Act 117 of 1998), Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000) and Water Services Act (Act 108 of 1997).Approximately 70% of the total population of Mkhondo Local Municipality resides in rural villages. The municipality uses its internal expertise and capacity to provide water services to the consumers with the four Water Supply schemes, (i.e. Amsterdam, Driefontein, Piet Retief and Rural Water Supply Scheme).

2.1 Mkhondo LM Water Schemes 2.1.1 Piet Retief Water Supply Scheme The Piet Retief water supply schemes abstracts raw water from Assegai river for treatment in two water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 12.4ml/day and distributed to over 45 000 population including communities in Piet Retief, Harmony Park, Kempville, Retville, eThandukukhanya and the surrounding areas.

2.1.2 Amsterdam Water Supply Scheme The scheme utilizes one water treatment plant which has been upgraded to 6.3ml/day. The plant is situated on the North Eastern side of the town on the banks of Dorps Dam along the Thole River where abstraction point is. The treated water is distributed to over 9 700 populations which includes Amsterdam, KwaThandeka and the surrounding areas.

2.1.3 Driefontein Water Supply Scheme The Driefontein water treatment plant has a capacity of 7.5ml/day and receives raw water from Heyshope Dam and is located towards the South West of the dam.

The plant provides water to a population of approximately 31 830 residing at Kwa-Ngema and Driefontein. It is planned that water supply will be extended to Dirkiesdorp community.

2.1.4 Rural Water Supply Scheme Drinking Water is provided to rural villages through the operation and maintenance of over 500 boreholes and four water tankers.

The municipality experience challenges in these schemes related to water shortage, backlog and poor drinking water quality compliance caused mostly by contamination due to poor sanitation. A team has been established to specifically address the needs of water in the rural villages, utilising the services of the MRTT and outsourcing water from the boreholes and other sources.

2.2 Water laboratory in use The municipality is using an independent laboratory GSDM Water Quality Laboratory. However the laboratory does perform some of the water analysis inhouse and also outsource for the other tests to Mhlathuze Water Quality Laboratory (Fully accredited laboratory) as per the National Specification of drinking water, SANS 241:2006 requirements.

From Mkhondo Local Municipality approximately 45 water samples were taken every month for analysis at independent laboratories.

2.3 Water Quality Parameters All the samples gets analysed for each point and a total of 17 water quality parameters ranging from: • Microbiological (E-coli, Total coliform, Heterotrophic count); • Physical (Conductivity, PH and Turbidity); • Chemical group (Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphate, Iron, Manganese, etc.); 2.4 Mkhondo LM Water Quality Overview During the three months period of January 2014 – June 2014, over one thousand five hundred and zero two (1502) water samples were taken. The samples were taken from different positions of water supply schemes which include the treatment plants, reservoirs, household taps and boreholes and over 25 534 analysis were undertaken from those samples.

Only forty eight (82) sample points failed to comply with class I of SANS 241:2006 and the other 1161 samples complied with Class I of SANS 241 and thus equates to over 95% compliance.

Acceptable (Green )

1161 sample points or 94% compliance

Needs attention (Yellow)

82 sample points

Failure Aesthetic (Orange)

0 sample points

Failure health Max (Red)

0 sample points

The sample points that needs attention, marked yellow (i.e. failed to comply with Class I of SANS 241:2006) and most of them falls within the Rural water supply schemes such as Rustplaast and Thokozani area and the cause may be poor sanitation systems in those rural nodes.

3 CONCLUSSION The municipality remains committed in safe guarding public health through continuously and consistently monitoring drinking water quality. The six (6) months water quality results presented in this report with 95% compliance confirms the fitness of drinking water for consumption. The municipality is confident about the overall quality of drinking water supply at each and every tap, exception being some of the settlements are under Rural Water Supply Scheme.

To sustain the excellent water quality achieved over the past six months, the following actions are currently or planned for implementation: • Continue with process controller’s learner ship programme in the next financial year through assistance from LG seta, DWA, GSDM and COGTA, • Install an online water quality monitoring systems at Treatment Plants and Reservoirs • Extend the licence contract and operate the Municipal Assistants Software which will assist in reporting and continuously publishing the status of drinking water quality through the net, effective implementation of maintenance plan, etc.

• Implement the recently developed water safety plans which includes management of water quality risks (i.e. Water Quality Risk Assessment) • Fill up the vacancies of the operators and ensure continuous reporting • A team has been established to specifically address the needs of water in the rural villages’ i.e. (Backlog eradication programme), utilising the services of the MRTT and outsourcing water from the boreholes and other sources (e.g. ponds).

We embrace DWA policy that “Water Is Life” hence the Water Conservation Water Demand Management initiative is being formulated to stem water losses, increase revenue and improve the quality of Water Service Delivery with the ultimate objective of reaching the presidential directive of halving water losses by 2014. The municipality shall continue with the implementation of an Action plan for the acquisition of Blue drop and Green drop award in the financial year 2013/2014.

Water Quality Results Overview Report

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY OVERVIEW FOR THREE MONTHS

July 2014 – September 2014 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION This report indicates an overview of water quality status for the last three months (i.e. July 2014 – September 2014) across Mkhondo Local Municipality jurisdiction area. The report is generated from the monthly water quality results received from Gert Sibande District Municipality Water Quality Laboratory.

However the report provides summary information on water quality results as required for legislation compliance and thus includes percentage characterisation of water quality against national standards limit/standards for the specified period.

2 OVERVIEW WATER QUALITY RESULTS Mkhondo Local Municipality serves as the Water Service Authority (WSA) and also Water Service Provider (WSP). The municipality provides access to water for the communities within its jurisdiction in accordance to the constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996), the Municipal Structures Act (Act 117 of 1998), Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000) and Water Services Act (Act 108 of 1997).Approximately 70% of the total population of Mkhondo Local Municipality resides in rural villages. The municipality uses its internal expertise and capacity to provide water services to the consumers with the four Water Supply schemes, (i.e. Amsterdam, Driefontein, Piet Retief and Rural Water Supply Scheme).

2.1 Mkhondo LM Water Schemes 2.1.1 Piet Retief Water Supply Scheme The Piet Retief water supply schemes abstracts raw water from Assegai river for treatment in two water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 12.4ml/day and distributed to over 45 000 population including communities in Piet Retief, Harmony Park, Kempville, Retville, eThandukukhanya and the surrounding areas.

2.1.2 Amsterdam Water Supply Scheme The scheme utilizes one water treatment plant which has been upgraded to 6.3ml/day. The plant is situated on the North Eastern side of the town on the banks of Dorps Dam along the Thole River where abstraction point is. The treated water is distributed to over 9 700 populations which includes Amsterdam, KwaThandeka and the surrounding areas.

2.1.3 Driefontein Water Supply Scheme The Driefontein water treatment plant has a capacity of 7.5ml/day and receives raw water from Heyshope Dam and is located towards the South West of the dam.

The plant provides water to a population of approximately 31 830 residing at Kwa-Ngema and Driefontein. It is planned that water supply will be extended to Dirkiesdorp community.

2.1.4 Rural Water Supply Scheme Drinking Water is provided to rural villages through the operation and maintenance of over 500 boreholes and four water tankers.

The municipality experience challenges in these schemes related to water shortage, backlog and poor drinking water quality compliance caused mostly by contamination due to poor sanitation. A team has been established to specifically address the needs of water in the rural villages, utilising the ervices of the MRTT and outsourcing water from the boreholes and other sources.

2.2 Water laboratory in use The municipality is using an independent laboratory GSDM Water Quality Laboratory. However the laboratory does perform some of the water analysis inhouse and also outsource for the other tests to Mhlathuze Water Quality Laboratory (Fully accredited laboratory) as per the National Specification of drinking water, SANS 241:2006 requirements.

From Mkhondo Local Municipality approximately 45 water samples were taken every month for analysis at independent laboratories.

2.3 Water Quality Parameters All the samples gets analysed for each point and a total of 17 water quality parameters ranging from: • Microbiological (E-coli, Total coliform, Heterotrophic count); • Physical (Conductivity, PH and Turbidity); • Chemical group (Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphate, Iron, Manganese, etc.); 2.4 Mkhondo LM Water Quality Overview During the three months period of July 2014 – September 2014, over six hundred and fifty (650) water samples were taken. The samples were taken from different positions of water supply schemes which include the treatment plants, reservoirs, household taps and boreholes and over 12 376 analysis were undertaken from those samples.

Thirty one (31) sample points failed to comply with class I of SANS 241:2006 and the other 697 samples complied with Class I of SANS 241 and thus equates to over 96% compliance.

Acceptable (Green )

697 sample points or 96% compliance

Needs attention (Yellow)

31 sample points

Failure Aesthetic (Orange)

0 sample points

Failure health Max (Red)

0 sample points

The sample points that needs attention, marked yellow (i.e. failed to comply with Class I of SANS 241:2006) and most of them falls within the Rural water supply schemes such as Rustplaast and Thokozani area and the cause may be poor sanitation systems in those rural nodes.

3 CONCLUSSION The municipality remains committed in safe guarding public health through continuously and consistently monitoring drinking water quality. The three (3) months water quality results presented in this report with 96% compliance confirms the fitness of drinking water for consumption. The municipality is confident about the overall quality of drinking water supply at each and every tap, exception being some of the settlements are under Rural Water Supply Scheme.

To sustain the excellent water quality achieved over the past three months, the following actions are currently or planned for implementation: • Continue with process controller’s learner ship programme in the next financial year through assistance from LG seta, DWA, GSDM and COGTA, • Install an online water quality monitoring systems at Treatment Plants and Reservoirs • Extend the licence contract and operate the Municipal Assistants Software which will assist in reporting and continuously publishing the status of drinking water quality through the net, effective implementation of maintenance plan, etc.

• Implement the recently developed water safety plans which includes management of water quality risks (i.e. Water Quality Risk Assessment) • Fill up the vacancies of the operators and ensure continuous reporting • A team has been established to specifically address the needs of water in the rural villages’ i.e. (Backlog eradication programme), utilising the services of the MRTT and outsourcing water from the boreholes and other sources (e.g. ponds).

We embrace DWA policy that “Water Is Life” hence the Water Conservation Water Demand Management initiative is being formulated to stem water losses, increase revenue and improve the quality of Water Service Delivery with the ultimate objective of reaching the presidential directive of minimising water losses by 2015. The municipality shall continue with the implementation of an Action plan for the acquisition of Blue drop and Green drop award in the financial year 2014/2015. This has been the plan and part of the turnaround strategy for Water Services which was adopted by council in July 2011.

Mining Amendment Bill “constitutionally Flawed” President Jacob Zuma says he sent back the Mining and Petroleum Resources Development Amendment Bill to the National Assembly last week, because as it stands, it does not pass constitutional muster.

The Presidency on Monday said the Bill was sent back in terms of section 79(1) of the Constitution on the basis that the definition of “This Act” is likely unconstitutional.

QUARTELY WATER QUALITY RESULTS AMSTERDAM, PIET RETIEF AND DRIEFONTEIN WATER SUPPLY SCHEMES

Statement from the Municipal Manager Mr. A N Mahlangu:

It gives me great pleasure to present water quality results for the first quarter of financial year 2014/2015 to the residents of Mkhondo Local Municipality, for Amsterdam, Driefontein and Piet Retief Water Supply Schemes. This publication illustrates our commitment on the provision of Quality Water Services to the residents of the municipality.

The commitment of publicizing Water Quality Results is outlined in the Water Services Customer Charter that was recently developed and adopted by the council. In the Water Services Customer Charter, the municipality commits itself in making quarterly and annual results available to consumers through Municipal website, Local Newspaper, Municipal notice boards, Municipal Annual Reports and at DWA MYWATER WEBSITE. Amsterdam Water supply scheme utilizes one water treatment plant which has been upgraded to 6.3ml/day. Treated water is distributed to over 9 700 populations which include Amsterdam and surrounding areas. Piet Retief water supply scheme abstract water from Assegai river for treatment in 2 water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 12.4ml/day and distribute to over 45 000 population including communities in Piet Retief and surrounding areas Driefontein water supply scheme receives water from Heyshope Dam and has a capacity of 7.5ml/day. The plant provides water to a population of approximately 31 830 in Kwa-Ngema and Driefontein. It is planned that water supply will be extended to Dirkiesdorp.

I urge the residents of Mkhondo local municipality to also work with the municipality in ensuring that the use of clean water is maintained and not misused and ensuring compliance against general limits of Water quality as stipulated in Section 6 of our Water Services Customer Charter. Consumer’s responsibilities in Section 6 of Water Services Customers Charter include the following: • Adherence to Municipal Bylaws, • Avoid misusing clean water through gardening and washing cars • Pay for services over and above any free allocation

“… The amended definition elevates the Codes of Good Practice for the South African Minerals Industry, the Housing and Living Condition Standards for the Minerals Industry and the Amended Broad-Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for South African Mining and Minerals Industry to the status of national legislation.

“In addition, in terms of Section 74 of the Amended Act, the Minister is given the power to amend or repeal these instruments as and when the need arises effectively by-passing the constitutionally mandated procedures for the amendment of legislation,” said the Presidency.

It further said as amended, Sections 26(2B) and 26(3) appear to be inconsistent with South Africa's obligations under the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) and the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) as they appear to impose quantitative restrictions on exports in contravention of GATT and TDCA, and in so doing render the State vulnerable to challenges in international fora.

The Presidency said the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) and the Provincial Legislature did not sufficiently facilitate public participation when passing the Amendment Act as required by Section 72 and 118 of the Constitution in that the consultation period was highly compressed and there appears to have been insufficient notice of the public hearings held by the provincial legislatures.

“The President is of the view that the Bill should have been referred to the National House of Traditional Leaders for its comments in terms of Section 18 of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act in that the Bill impacts upon customary law or the customs of traditional communities by.

“Allowing persons to enter upon land to conduct an investigation after notifying and consulting with the owner, occupier or person in control in terms of Section 50 and in so doing, ignores the consent principle in customary law,” said the Presidency. – SAnews.gov.za

Mpumalanga Education Raises The Bar For 2015 School Camps Improve Mpumalanga Matric Results Mpumalanga Education MEC Reginah Mhaule says schools in the province will be supported according to their specific needs to ensure that they improve their results.

The MEC said her department will intensify the school based intervention programme as a way to improve the general performance of schools. She addressed school principals in a meeting held to discuss plans for 2015 in Middleburg on Thursday. “… You [should] indicate the kind of support you [want] so that we can improve our results in a qualitative manner,” she said.

The MEC said the department will continue to support learners through programmes such as radio lessons and dial-a-tutor. “I will be happy to hear from schools that obtained 100% on what have they done differently to get these results. It is an issue of sharing good practices,” MEC Mhaule said.

She encouraged primary school principals to look at issues relating to the Annual National Assessment (ANA) results and identify areas that need improvement. “It is our firm belief that it's only a solid foundation that may yield sustainable positive outcomes. I am happy that the department has started operationalising the Early Childhood Development Institute on 19 January 2015.

“It is the first of its kind and will help us improve teaching and learning at an early childhood Development level,” MEC said.

MEC Mhaule said the province had a steady improvement of Grade 12 results since 2009, and that it was currently standing in a favourable position compared to other provinces. “… For the first time, all our four districts are performing above the national average. It is a fact that you have worked around the clock to ensure that the province obtains these results. For this reason, I wish to take this opportunity to thank you dearly,” the MEC told principals.

The province took position five in the 2014 grade 12 results with a 79% pass rate.

Grade 12 numbers decline The MEC was concerned about the declining number of grade 12 learners over the years, saying it was not reflective of the actual number of grade 12 learners that were in grade 11 the previous year.

“This means that there is an unconfirmed anomaly that is within our system, holding back some of our grade 11 learners who should be progressing to Grade12,” she said.

She said the 2014 Grade 12 results showed that the province was not doing well in mathematics and physical science. This is based on

the number of learners that are doing these subjects, as well as those that are passing the subjects.

“In 2013, there were 19 400 learners who wrote mathematics, 11 301 passed it obtaining 58.3%. In 2014, there were 17 767 learners that wrote Mathematics, 10 050 passed obtaining a 56.6% pass…

This is a representation of learner enrolment decline as much as it is also a pass percentage decline,” the MEC said.

She said it was the same reality for physical science.

Choosing subjects carefully The MEC urged school principals to take note that bad subject combinations had long-term effects on the learners' future.

By: Joy Themba: DoC, Mpumalanga The Mpumalanga class of 2014 did For the second year in exceptionaly well in their matric succession, Hoërskool Nelspruit exams. The provincial aggregate managed to maintain 100% pass reached 79% pass rate. Despite the rate, with 348 distinctions.

She further outlined that the results had been The Education department declared credible by Umalusi. plans to improve last year’s results.

It plans to intensify its school-based intervention support in the 84 schools that did not achieve more than 60% and are declared dysfunctional.

Furthermore, the department will conduct workshops on an on-going basis for Mathematics, Physical Science, Accounting and Economics advisors. Top learners received equipment like laptops, tablets, iPhones, microwave, kettle and bar fridge from sponsors. One learner received a Toyota Etios, sponsored

by Imperial Toyota Nelspruit.

Eskom Stage 2, Msukaligwa (Ermelo & Surrounding Areas)

She asked for learners to be taught subjects that will enable them to get admission at post matric institutions. “One learner came to my office last week pleading for a bursary and met the requirements to study towards a bachelors' degree.

The learner had achieved level 6 in business studies, level 7 in dramatic arts, level 6 in English home language, level 6 in history, level 6 in life orientation, level 5 mathematical literacy and level 6 in siSwati first additional language.

“The dilemma was that we could not support the student because of the subject stream but I wondered if there was any university in this country that will admit her with such a combination,” MEC said.

Rooting out poor performance The MEC urged school principals to ensure that the number of dysfunctional schools decreases this year.

“In 2014 we declared that the 94 schools which performed below 60% will be declared dysfunctional and we also said that there must be no such school in 2015. “This number was reduced to 84 but of concern is that we had 52 new entrants in this category. Our view is that had it been that these 52 schools obtained their previous results, the province would have attained its 10% target,” the MEC said.

Out of 45 081 2014 grade 12 fulltime candidates who wrote 2014 matric examinations, 9 466 did not make it. The MEC encouraged all schools to support learners who will be writing supplementary examinations, scheduled to start from 16 February to 24 March 2015. “… These learners must be fully supported. We must ensure that all learners who qualify to write supplementary examinations should be encouraged to register on time to receive support from their respective schools. “There are learners who failed for the first time. I have issued a directive that these learners should be re-admitted to our schools without fail,” the MEC said. - SAnews.gov.za

Khanyisa Weekly - Gert Sibande

A Date With God The race still continues I would like to thank God for another year, where we are given a chance to run a race until the end, we ran last year even though it was not easy but we made it, even now we will continue with it by correcting our mistakes, some mistakes cannot be fixed but we can always do better than last year.

The holy spirit has been talking to me about love and forgiveness, let us put the past behind us and look forward to what is ahead of us, maybe you were hurt by a family member, friend, an in-law etc because there are always people who feel good when hurting other people.

Please do forgive them even if it is not easy to forgive but it is worth it, anger holds your blessings.

When they are angry, you just

forgive them, because the devil doesn't come directly knocking at your door and say hello I am the devil, but he uses people to come and hurt you, you might end up not achieving your goals because of the devil in them, so the best thing you can do is to let it pass and you will find peace within you.

Whatever you do, please let it go and continue with the race, do not give up because others did not make it, you are not a looser but you are unique and different keep your mind focused on the goal you wish to achieve and you will thank me.

All is well dont forget to smile because Jesus still loves you
