Fire alert! This fire started near Skyhill and spread to the field behind Extension 22. The fire department were at the scene and controlled the fire. The local fire department controlled a fire on Sunday (4 June) that ignited near Skyhill and ran all the way to the open field behind Extension 22. Their main concern was to keep it away from the houses. One of the firemen said a fire always has two points and they usually focus on fighting the veld fire at the point where it is most critical. More veld fires and house fires occur in the winter. Bheki Khubeka, Head of Marketing and Communications at Govan Mbeki Municipality, said people caught
starting fires, can be fined with as much as R5 000. He urged residents not to throw rubbish over their walls into the field or to start fires in their yards in order to burn rubbish. According to him, the most common cause of house fires is people who forget tto turn off their stoves. “People must also test that their heaters and electrical blankets work properly. “Check the heater’s wiring before using it and make sure your electrical blanket does not have any tears before using it,” said Bheki.
Oil heaters are safer to use. Gert Kuun, Chairman of the Highveld East Fire Protection Association (HEFPA) said it is crucial for farmers to make firebreaks. “It is determined by law.” Gert said effective firebreaks on your property borders will protect your property and prevent a fire from spreading to neighbouring properties. Other tips to follow when making a firebreak are: • Warn your neighbours if you plan to burn firebreaks. • Plan your firebreaks programme with
your neighbours • Insist on your neighbours presence when firebreaks on boundary belts are being made. • Ensure that weather conditions are acceptable for burning firebreaks. • Burn firebreaks early. • Do not light fires in the open air if you cannot control it. • Do not leave a fire unguarded before it is properly extinguished HEFPA has meetings on a regular basis, to join them or for more information, contact Gert at 082 084 6921. - Jana Oosthuizen

Equip your child to deal with bullies
With Child Protection Week celebrated from 27 May to 2 June, Capt Lizzie Koekemoer of the Sexual Offence, Child Protection and Family Violence Unit, gave some tips on school bullying. One can never fully ‘bully-proof’ a child, but you can empower your child against bullying. According to Capt Koekemoer, the most effective way of protecting children from being bullied and from becoming bullies, is to make sure they grow up in loving relationships rather than relationships n which power or force is used to control them. She gave the following tips: • Be your child’s ‘go-to’ person or confidant. Make sure your child always feels safe and free to tell you about ncidents with the other parent, siblings,
other children at school, at sporting events or at home. • Stay connected with your child through thick and thin. Lonely children are more likely to be bullied. Keep lines of communication open no matter what. • Supervise electronic communication such as the Internet, social networking and text messages. Understand cyberbullying where children may feel helpless against what is being said or shown in pictures about them online. • Help your child think of ways to react to possible bullying incidents such as them being teased about wearing glasses. Perhaps there is a phrase they can utter to make the other person thing twice about making comments like that in future. • Coach your child to handle
teasing. Bully attacks start with verbal harassment. The manner in which the victim responds to the first verbal aggression, determines whether the bully continues to target the particular child. • Teach your child respectful selfassertion. Children need to know they can get their needs met being respectful. Build inner confidence. Teach your child how to stand up for him/herself. • Teach your child basic social skills. Bullies prey on children whom they perceive to be vulnerable. Role play with your child on how to join a game at the playground or introduce him to another child at a party. • Advise your child not to respond to possible bullying by fighting or bullying back. It can quickly escalate
into violence and trouble. Practice ‘cool down’ strategies, such as counting to 10, writing down words of anger, taking deep breaths or walking away. “If your child has already been exposed to bullying, do not hesitate to intervene,” said Capt Koekemoer. “Speak up for your child, your job as a parent is to protect your child. “That means that in addition to teaching your child to stick up for himself, you may need to call or visit the teacher or school principal. “Take it serious if you discover that the bullying is getting worse when the bully finds out that your child told you or if threats of physical harm are involved. “Sometimes it helps to approach the bully’s parents.” In most cases, teachers or counsellors are the best people to contact first.
Bethal’s crime rate drops The crime rate in Bethal dropped since the community started working with the police to fight crime. According to the station commander at Bethal Police, Lt.Col Petrus Nzima, the police revived different structures to help them. These structures include the community policing forum, businesses against crime, sector patrols with the neighbourhood watch and informers. “The community realised that the
The winners of the competition among schools are Sisanda Nkwintya, Sithembiso Mokoena, Johannes Nkosi, Mbalenhle Thabethe, Const Thomas Mogadime, Sibusiso Sithole, Evence Motha and Sakhile Maseko.
Police hosts competition The local Drug Addiction Committee (LDAC) that comprises of stakeholders and members from other government departments and non-government organisations hosted a competition among schools about crime in Bethal. The competition was based on substance abuse and the purpose was to explore the pupils’ knowledge on substance abuse. The pupils had to make presentations which was assessed. In the presentations, the pupils had to be able to convey what a drug is and what drug abuse is. They also had to present the classification of drugs, for example what is socially acceptable drugs, inhalants, over the counter drugs, prescribed drugs and illegal drugs. Pupils also had to describe the signs and symptoms of substance abuse, the effects of substance abuse and include programmes rendered for substance abuse by all departments according to the prevention and treatment for substance abuse act 70 of 2008.
More than 150 pupils and from different schools and their teachers took part in the competition Thandanani Primary School won the primary category while Lamlile Primary School finished second and Imbekezelo Primary School finished third. Ikhethelo Secondary School won the secondary schools section while AD Nkosi School finished second and eMzinoni Secondary School finished third. The top schools received floating trophies and the pupils received gold medals that were sponsored by United Motors. “As the local drug action committee, we thank all the schools for positive participation in the competition, teachers for their hard work in preparing the pupils, the pupils for their commitment towards the competition and not forgetting the organising committee for making the event a success, as well as the Bethal Hindu Community for helping us with a venue,” said Const Thomas Mogadime, spokesman of Bethal Police.

police cannot fight crime alone and they took the initiative and started helping the police with patrols in and around Bethal and surrounding farms,” said Lt.Col. Nzima. “I want to thank the community for the support as without them we cannot win this battle against crime.” He encouraged the community to join the forums and to report crime to the police by contacting them at 017 647 9929/30 or 112.

Sasol hosts girls for a day
Sasol hosted a Bring a Girl Child to Work initiative on Thursday, 25 May where about 80 high school girls from various schools in the area had the opportunity to visit Sasol and explore the different employment opportunities at Sasol. The aim of this initiative is to offer pupils valuable information that can help them in their career choices and
also to inspire them to reach for their dreams and to grasp every opportunity to grow and develop their natural talent. Ronel Kotze gave pupils a word of encouragement. She was the first female vice president in operations at Secunda Synfuels Operations. Rethabile Ndjibu said she believes Sasol is one of the best companies to
work for. Sasol currently employs 30 100 people working in 33 countries and has a turnover of R172,9 billion. The girls were divided into groups and had 15 minutes to speak to Sasol representatives of different disciplines. These individuals shared about their work and spoke to the pupils about what they do at work every day and what exactly their jobs entails.

Dominator’s Den fighters excel at Fight Star 24 Cedric ‘The Dominator’ Doyle, owner of Dominator’s Den ,obtained a first place in the South African Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (SABJJF) Championships that was held in Springs on 27 May. Doyle is a blue belt fighter. Two of his students, Kerwin de Waal and Paul ‘Piksteel’ Ronge, both white belt fighters, finished second and third respectively. Rudolph ‘Bizkit’ Pretorius and Ronge took part in the Fight Star 24 competition held in Germiston on Satuday and excelled. Ronge won the first round with a rear naked choke and Pretorius won in the second round with a total knock out. Doyle said Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best of all the traditional martial arts. “We focus on ground fighting, either submitting your opponent or choking him out,” said Doyle. He reckons this type of martial arts is the best way of unarmed self defense. He invited parents to send their high school boys with aggression or addiction problems to a practice
session. “We thank God for keeping us save in this amazing sport,” said Doyle. “Even though it is a dangerous and
violent sport, I still believe I can take God to every area of my life.” He thanked the club’s sponsor, Roman Alarms, for the support.
