Rape victims now help others Sibonelo Ngubane and Sylvia Mbanjwa with the children who lives at the Velile Victim Empowerment Centre full time.
Velile Victim Empowerment Centre in eMbalenhle is the brainchild of a rape survivor, Sylvia Mbanjwa (41). This courageous woman opened the centre in 2010 to empower other vulnerable women and children. Presently there are 22 vulnerable and abused children and seven women living at this centre. Sylvia bears her own emotional scars from years abuse. She said there was something wrong mentally with both her parents and her father left them when she was only two years old. Sylvia was a mere nine years old when she was first raped. The culprit was a trusted family member who continued to abuse her throughout her school years. As a young woman, she was violently raped by another man in KwaZuluNatal. When she found out she was pregnant, she made the tough decision to keep the child. She came to live with family in eMbalenhle and supported herself and her infant daughter by selling spices and clothes. Her daughter is now 21 years old with a child of her own. Her own ordeal prompted Sylvia to
open a place of safety for vulnerable and abused women and children. “As a victim, I saw many parents in eMbalenhle who abandoned their children when they go to the taverns,” said Sylvia. The Velile Victim Empowerment Centre is dependent on sponsors and donations. Sylvia thanked all her supporters for their regular donations. Another woman who made the Velile Victim Empowerment Centre her permanent home, is Sibonelo Ngubane (25). She was raped by her own brother, the infamous eMbalenhle serial rapist, Sipho Nkosi. Nkosi was sentenced to life imprisonment earlier this year on several counts of rape. Sibonelo fell pregnant because of the rape. She is raising the child on her own, as well as another child who was also conceived through an act of rape. “God is our helper. We pray with the children each night,” said Sibonelo. The women living at the centre are responsible for all the children’s needs, including food and laundry. If you want to support the centre, contact Sylvia at 076 797 9142.
Willie’s health deteriorates The Bulletin reported about Willie Brink who was left in his hospital room in Evander Hospital with a pile of paper towels covered in faeces on the floor. According to Deon Coetzee, Willie’s friend, he was neglected. A case of assault was opened against Deon after he complained to the nurses and security guards about the condition of the room. Willie was transferred to Witbank Hospital and is connected to a ventilator. “I do not understand how his condition worsened like this, he was admitted to hospital with a broken
leg” said Deon. According to Deon Willie has no life function anymore. He and his wife, Shirley were not able to speak to doctors at Witbank Hospital because the doctors are only available between 10:00 and 11:00 and Deon and Shirley can only visit during the evenings because they work during the day. In the meantime Deon was summonsed to appear in the Evander Magistrate’s Court on 1 August in connection with the assault case. According to Evander Police Deon assaulted one of the nurses, but Deon denies it.

Fire fighters pelted with stones Residents pelted firefighters with stones while the rescue workers were responding to a fire in Extension 22 in eMbalenhle on Tuesday, 20 July. The fire engine was damaged. Govan Mbeki Municipality is concerned about the rising number of attacks on firefighters when they respond to scenes. “The extent of the fire could not be ascertained because the members had to leave the scene after being stoned,” said Bheki Kubheka, acting head of marketing and communications at Govan Mbeki Municipality. According to him, there have been several similar incidents. “We urge residents to refrain from attacking firefighters as they are placing lives and property at risk,” said Bheki.

Bank employee sentenced Tankiso Gerald Radebe (28), a former Standard Bank employee was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment for fraud. Radebe worked in Evander and transferred money from a client’s account to a fraudulent account in August last year. A few days after the transfer, R40 000 was transferred into Radebe’s account and a case was opened at the Mpumalanga DPCI (Hawks). During the investigation, the Hawks
discovered that R70 000 was also involved in this case. “There is no court which can sentence an accused without evidence, this was demonstrated when W/O Sipho Patrick Nyathikazi pursued the case,” said the Mpumalanga DPCI provincial head, Maj.-Gen. Mokoena, Mpumalanga DPCI Provincial Head. He further treasured the judiciary for their constant resolve by eliminating offenders from the community to the place where they will learn a lesson.
Cop killers sentenced Sydney Mashaba (44), Frans Nathibela (45) and Khayelile Welcome Ngubane (38) have been sentenced in the Evander Regional Court to life imprisonment on 12 July. The three men were found guilty for murdering a police officer on 18 February this year. Const Phumlani Nxumalo (44) was off duty on the day of the murder and parked his vehicle alongside the road at Kinross, Afghanistan. The three men approached him and ordered him to get out of the vehicle. Const Nxumalo tried to defend himself and was hit over the head with a firearm. He fell down and the trio sped off with his vehicle which was later found abandoned at Duba Park next to a tavern. Const Nxumalo tried to get up and run
to get help, but he succumbed and died of his injuries a few meters from the scene. The trio hijacked a woman on 19 February, took her to the bushes, undressed her and left her there naked before fleeing with her vehicle. They then went to Middelburg where they committed robbery. They were arrested on 20 February and investigations positively linked them with all three cases. They were found guilty on 10 other charges including hijacking, the possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, the theft of a motor vehicle and robbery. Two of the accused were sentenced for an extra 20 years for the other charges against them and one of them was sentenced to an extra 18 years’ imprisonment

AfriForum bekommerd oor water Die AfriForum-tak op Secunda, het op 10 Julie ’n aanmaning aan Govan Mbeki Munisipaliteit gestuur oor die toestand van Secunda se rioolaanlegte- en pompstasies. Volgens die aanmaning, eis AfriForum dat die munisipaliteit voor 18 Julie antwoord met ’n plan om die besoedeling stop te sit. Dit volg nadat AfriForum met hul naisonale blou- en groendruppelprojek gedurende Junie en Julie die watergehalte van riviere en spruite op Trichardt, Evander, Secunda en Kinross getoets. Volgens Hillel Coetzer, AfriForum se streekskoördineerder vir Mpumalanga-Wes, het ’n geakkrediteerde waterlaboratorium die toetse gedoen en AfriForum het ’n versoekbrief aan die waarnemende munisipale
bestuurder gestuur en versoek dat die munisipaliteit dringend aandag aan die waterkwessie moet gee. AfriForum het egter nog geen terugvoer van die munisipalteit ontvang nie. “AfriForum is bekommerd oor die toestand van die riviere en spruite, omdat nie een van die toetse gewys het dat die water op standaard is nie,” het Hillel gesê. “Die toetse dui daarop dat rioolstorting in die omgewing plaasvind.” AfriForum beplan om verdere stappe te neem en die nodige owerhede van die situasie in kennis te stel. As jy die AfriForum Secunda-tak wil ondersteun, raak by dié inisiatief betrokke. Vir meer inligting, skakel 081 217 3155.

Michelle vier perfekte verjaardag
Michelle Fick het vanjaar haar 40ste verjaardag gevier en besluit om dit by die Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis te bestee. “Toe my famlilie en vriende my gevra het wat ons gaan doen vir my verjaarsdag of ons op ’n bootreis gaan of ’n partytjie gaan hou, het ek gedink wat wil ek hê,” het Michelle gesê. “Ek het besef daar is niks wat ek wil hê nie, maar ek het ’n begeerte in my hart gehad om kinders wat niks of niemand het nie, te help.” Michelle het dus al haar vriende en familie gevra om die geld wat hulle op ’n geskenk vir haar sou bestee, liewer te skenk vir haar projek by die kinderhuis. Dié projek het so ontplof dat sowat 150 mense Saterdag na die Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis toe is en hulle het sowat R40 000 se items geskenk in die vorm van verf, nuwe kombuistobehore, klere en kos vir die kinders. Michelle en haar span het die minigholf-bane by die kinderhuis opgeknap, nuwe swaaie ingesit, bankies ingesit, die mure geverf en orals gehelp waar moontlik.
Sy het besluit om meer as kos en klere te gee omdat sy glo daar gaan altyd ’n behoefte vir kos en klere wees. “Ek wou iets meer blywend ook gee of agterlaat, dit is hoekom ons die plek opgeknap het en nuwe speelgoed ingesit het,” het Michelle gesê. Sy het gedink net haar vriende en familie sou deel word van dié projek, maar baie meer mense het belanggestel nadat Michelle ’n webwerf geskep het en haar idee op sosiale media gedeel het. “Dit is regtig wonderlik as mense politiek buite in die koue los en kan fokus op die dinge wat ons eenders maak,” het sy gesê. “My grootste verwagtinge vir dié dag is oortref.” Ondernemings van verskeie plekke in Suid-Afrika het ook hul harte oopgemaak en van skryfbehoeftes tot sjokolade vir die huismoeders wat by die Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis werk, geskenk. “Ek glo dit is ’n groter hand wat dié projek in my hart kom plant het en ek sou dit nie sonder die hulp van almal wat betrokke was kon doen nie.”
Michelle Fick spandeer haar 40ste verjaarsdag Saterdag by die Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis.
Nicolette laat vroue skater Natacha C, ’n kabaret-sanger van Mbombela en spreker, Nicolette Steel, het vroue Saterdag vermaak tydens ’n vroue-oggend wat by Plaas Holfontein aangebied is. Val van den Berg het dié vroueoggend gereël ten bate van Marietjie Skool. Die tema vir die oggend was ‘Tel op jou Kop, jou Kroon val af’. Nicolette het vroue laat skater met haar snaakse staaltjies. “Ek het geleer om myself lief te hê,” het Nicolette gesê. “Jou brein luister heel eerste vir jou stem voor enige iemand anders se stem. “Ons oortuig onsself ons is nie goed genoeg nie en wag dan vir iemand anders om vir ons te vertel ons is goed genoeg.” Sy het vroue aangemoedig om net positiewe leesstof te lees en hulself besig te hou met positiewe dinge. “Jy moet net neerkyk op mense as jy hulle wil ophelp of seker wil maak hulle het genoeg.” Nicolette het afgesluit met ’n gedig wat sy self geskryf het. In dié gedig het sy haarself afgevra wat sy nog alles wil doen as sy oud is en sy het besluit op dinge soos om met ’n aandrok te gaan swem. Val het Minuteman Press, Holfontein
Plaas, Dadiva, Elizabeth Hire Decor & Events, Spar, Westpack en Divergent Photography vir hul ondersteuning bedank.
Natacha C, kabaret-sanger, het die gehoor bekoor met haar stem.

Michelle het almal wat betrokke was of iets geskenk het, bedank. Hulle het ook die huismoeders bederf met ’n medikuur en pedikuur. “Hulle was so dankbaar dat ons hulle voete gewas het, my dag was volmaak.” Haar grootste begeerte is dat elke persoon wat Saterdag daar was, aangeraak moet wees en huis toe moet gaan met ’n wens om betrokke te bly by dié kinderhuis. Sy het met trane in haar oë vertel van die eerste keer toe sy Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis besoek het. “Ek het een seuntjie ’n drukkie gegee en toe ek weer sien het ’n hele ry seuntjies by my kom staan om ’n drukkie te kry.” Daar is altesaam 84 kinders by die Kosmos Kriel Kinderhuis en die staatsubsidie is slegs vir 60 kinders. Michelle het gesê die kinders het na die dag na haar toe gekom en gesê dit was die beste partytjie wat hulle al ooit gehad het. “Een seuntjie het vir my ’n teddiebeer gegee en toe ek by die huis kom het sy naam daarop gestaan, toe het ek besef dit was sy teddiebeer wat hy vir my gegee het,” het Michelle gesê. “Dit was die beste present wat ek nog ooit ontvang het en die teddiebeer is nou op my bed.” Michelle woon al vir 21 jaar in Pretoria, maar sy het op Secunda grootgeword.

Jacob also encouraged the children to read more as they received books from a stakeholder in the community. Jacob thanked Jabu Nekel who sponsored the books and said if there is anyone who wants to sponsor any books, they can contact him. “They must not just play soccer, they must learn other things as well,” said Jacob. All children taking part in sports between the ages of 10 and 15 are welcome to attend Jacob’s life skills programme. For more information, contact Jacob at 082 705 1247.
