Inner-City Gazette

By Moses Moyo mosesmoyo@icloud.com

olice Minister Fikile Mbalula recently visited Cape York building a abandoned and hijacked building in the Johannesburg CBD at the Cnr of Jeppe and Nugget Sheet. The police minister got a first-hand view of some of Johannesburg’s hi-jacked buildings and illegal settlements. While he was on the prowl for criminal activity, he acknowledged those living in these buildings, need a hand up. Mbalula said his office will meet with Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba to discuss solutions. He says while he sympathises with people who live in these spaces, it’s often also home to

crime dens. “I came from there, I mean… it is bad. It’s terrible and we need to do something, and we are going to do something about it,” he told media. “The general has spoken about Cape York building several times, we need to speak to the City of Johannesburg.” Cape York building is owned by Jamal Ibrahim, an Ethiopian businessman whose interests are in the property business, according to municipal records he purchased the building in 2014 for an estimated R9.2 million. Ibrahim has always insisted his intention was to turn it into a profitable residential and retail space. However, he said his charge had been stalled by the ‘non-assistance’ of the South African government in the matter. Speaking during the Ministers visit, Station

Commander for the Johannesburg Central Cluster police, Brigadier Ivan Perumal said a crime-combating operation on the building was necessary. “Cape York is responsible for a number of robberies that have been taking place within the vicinity. Our intelligence is telling us that criminals seek refuge inside this building after committing robberies,” said Perumal. “An operation was arranged from early on in the morning, during which time we managed to get four cases of dealing in drugs and one for stolen property.” The City of Johannesburg’s Group Forensic and Investigations Services spokesperson, Lucky Sindane said onus was on the City to assist owners of abandoned buildings in taking back their proper-

ties. In addition, he said one of the City’s key priorities is an urban revitalisation in the inner city. “Engagements with various stakeholders in terms of investing the inner city is an ongoing process. To the owners whose buildings have been hijacked, we ask that they give us the necessary details, and in conjunction with other stakeholders, we will assist them in winning back their buildings,” said Sindane. The Minister urged the inner city community to join hands with police to fight the scourge of crime and thanked property owners who have invested heavily in high tech technologies to keep the Inner city residents safe he acknowledged them as partners in the fight against crime. — @Moses_Moyo

It’s a good time to build a career in the travel and tourism industry

ne billion people are waiting for an opportunity to travel, says United Nations Secretary-General. Tourism is a one of the fastest growing industries in South Africa, as it includes opportunities for homemakers as well as corporate professionals alike. What is all the fuss about? Between January and July, more than a million (1 371 049) overseas visitors arrived on our shores. That is 221 796 (or 19.3 percent) more people than last year’s January-to-July period, according to Statistics SA. “Despite complaints about a slow economy, tourism is one of the sectors of the economy that keeps growing,” comments Linda Greenberg of Boston City Campus & Business College, an award-winning private higher education institution which has been delivering quality education for over 25 years at its 40 plus support centres nationwide. “For all South Africans this is great news because it means more job opportunities for both entry level and experienced tourism professionals.” Greenberg believes the tourism campaign is very valuable in creating awareness of the beauty of South Africa to would-be tourists while at the same time highlighting the importance of tourism to the economy.

“A campaign on tourism gives job seekers of all ages and backgrounds an opportunity to do some research about the industry and see where they can possibly fit in.” According to the UN, reaching universal accessibility in tourism is a shared responsibility of all parties involved in the tourism value chain, as well as a business opportunity for companies and destinations. “Everyone should be able to access leisure and tourism services on an equal basis. Yet 1 billion people around the world living with disability, along with young children, seniors and persons with other access requirements, still face obstacles in accessing fundamentals of travel such as efficient transportation and public services, and a physical environment that is easy to navigate. Even with modern technologies, those with visual, hearing, mobility or cognitive impairments are being left behind in many tourism destinations,” said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon in his official message last year. Boston’s Greenberg believes that tourism in SA will grow even bigger if local companies and destinations fully embrace the concept of universal accessibility.” People in South Africa are renowned for their-

hospitality and warmth. Opportunities for B and B’s in our own homes offer everyone a way to earn some money, especially when large world sports tours and such are taking place. Hotels should also start offering additional services to people with special needs, the same way they already cater for specific groups of tourists, for instance business travellers (conferencing facilities) and families (baby-sitting). “Seeing the United Nations speaks of one billion tourists that still need to enter the market, it means that future possibilities are truly exciting,” she says. “By all accounts, it seems to be a good time to enter the travel and tourism industry and to build a long-term career in it.” To enter the industry, she points out, you need to get a good qualification and practical experience in fields such as travel and tourism operations, reservations and front of house, event planning, event management, hospitality management, and hotel and catering. “We at Boston offer various study options in these fields,” she says. “What makes our tourism training stand out is the fact that we focus on getting students work ready in a short space of time. “We are dedicated to assisting students in mastering the different areas of tourism so they are able walk into a job the moment they complete their studies by us. And the wonderful thing is that we have built such a good reputation over the years that travel and tourism companies come to us for student CVs when they need to recruit new staff.” For more information, contact Boston on 011 551-2000, e-mail info@boston.co.za, visit www.boston.co.za, or Facebook. A wide range of study opportunities are available and you can select from a degree, various diploma and higher certificates, or short learning programmes in travel and tourism, IT, management, HR, accounting, marketing and more.

Microbreweries – Craft beer is art Staff Reporter news@inner-city-gazette.co.za

raft beer brewing has evolved from being a home-brewing hobby to a precise and complex process, aimed at delighting craft beer lovers who have become enthusiasts of this new era of beer where there are more distinguished tastes on offer in the market. As a supplier of gases, which is vital to the brewing process, Air Products has been playing an important role to support microbreweries in creating craft beers suited for this local, expanding and trendy craft beer market. Words such as hops, vessel, malt and fermentation comes to mind, but it is much more complex than simply adding certain ingredients together and hoping for the best taste once the ‘beer’ has matured. Craft beer brewing has become a form of art and the use of the correct gases, at the correct time, in the correct quantities are vital in ensuring the best outcome. Air Products supplies gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen to a number of microbrewies in Gauteng. Craft beer is an art – a brewer is able to create unique beer by producing small quantities which delivers strong flavours. The ingredients used by microbrewers are different to those used by large, commercial brewers. The introduction of craft beers to South African beer drinkers has created a new excitement in the marketplace as there is now a wide range of tastes available and beer drinkers are no longer restricted to the same brands and styles which have been available over the last few years. Air Products’ Freshline Product Manager Nelisiwe ‘Neli’ Dlamini explains the use of Freshline oxygen in craft beer brewing: “Brewing craft beer is an intricate process and it is important to ensure a secure supply of oxygen to the brewery – malt and hops, water, yeast and oxygen is required for the fermenta

Craft beer is an art – a brewer is able to create unique beer by producing small quantities which delivers strong flavours tion process and without the oxygen, the entire process and ultimately the quality of the beer is affected. Air Products has formed a strong relationship with a number of microbreweries in Gauteng and is proud to be associated with their growth in market share in the last two years. For breweries such as Drayman’s Brewery, Mad Giant and Ubuntu Kraal Brewery it is of extreme importance to ensure that gases are available during specific parts of the brewing process, as delays or interruptions as a result of a lack of oxygen and other ingredients will have an impact on the final product. According to Chief Beer Officer at Ubuntu Kraal Brewery, Ndumiso Madlala, Air Products has been a part of their operations from the beginning when the brewery was being commissioned. On the role of Air Products in their operations, Madlala states: “It is important for us to ensure that our product is available to our customers at all times. With the assistance of Air Products, we can ensure that our beer is available to our Soweto Gold lovers through the focus on prompt delivery and efficient customer service”. “As a chemical engineer and a beer lover myself, quality is of the essence, whether it be the clarity or taste of the beer. Through Air Products’ commitment to ensure a supply of product when we need it for our delicate brewing processes, we can pride ourselves in the quality and availability of our blends as the market demands, especially in the light of

the fact that we also sell our beer at the brewery” says Eben Uys from Mad Giant. Dlamini concludes: “We are fortunate to form part of the growth of the craft beer market. With the knowledge, skills and insight of brewers such as Kallmeyer, Madlala and Uys, the growth of craft beer is inevitable. There is no question – Air Products will be supplying the product needed by the brewers to continue to brew quality craft beer”.

Mad Giant brings together science and an immense love of beer – the brand’s co-founder, Eben Uys, is a thirtysomething chemical engineer whose thorough understanding of froth has made its way into scientific journals. The craft brewery is located in the 1 Fox Precinct, a collection of restored warehouses in Johannesburg’s historic Ferreirasdorp district. The spectacular downtown craft brewery consists of Mad Giant brewery’s shed that is very easy to find – it has a huge retro-style sign on its roof and a spacious beer garden that stretches around the building. Inside the space. Striding behind the bar is a giant metallic Mad Giant sculpture, and there’s also a small shop selling Mad Giant-branded glassware and bottles of beer. The brewery also shares space with the exciting Urbanologi restaurant known for its unique Asian-inspired gourmet tapas. Declaration: The Inner City Gazette editor visited The craft brewery as a guest of Air Products South Africa (Pty) Limited manufactures, supplies and distributes a diverse portfolio of atmospheric gases, specialty gases, performance materials, equipment and services to the Southern African region.

Rea Vaya and Metrobus fares to go up on July 1 Staff Reporter news@inner-city-gazette.co.za

rom Saturday July 1 commuters who use the City of Johannesburg’s two bus passenger services – the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and Metrobus – will pay more for their rides. The City’s Mayoral Committee on Transport, after consultation with all stakeholders, including the Commuter Forum, approved a 6% fare increase for Rea Vaya and a 6.2% fare hike for Metrobus for the 2017-2018 financial year. Between them, Metrobus and Rea Vaya transport almost 100 000 commuters across Johannesburg a day. The increases are in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the City’s pro-poor budget and other market-related cash fares. Commuters – including adults, pensioners and scholars – who use multiple trip coupons or tags are urged to take advantage of the 25% discounts on offer. For Metrobus users, this means that cash commuters will pay R10.80, up from R10.20, for a single trip. According to the bus company, monthly trips will cost:  Between R421.20 and R1 053.00 (for 52 trips);  Between R356.40 and R 891.00 (for 44 trips);  Between R113.40 and R283.50 (for 14 trips);  Between R97.20 and R243.00 (for 12 trips); and  Between R81.00 and R202.5 (for 10 trips). Scholars in uniform will pay R7.80 cash, up from R7.20, for a single trip, while 130 trips for the term will cost R760.50. Forty-four trips will cost R257.50 and 10 trips R58.50. Learners will get a 25% discount for multiple

trip coupons. Fares for children aged between three and 12 will range from R7.80 to R18.80. Pensioners will pay R185.00 for 200 trips valid for a year irrespective of the number of zones travelled. They also get a 50% discount on multi-journey trips if they travel during off peak time – that is between 8am and 2pm. Normal adult fares will apply if the pensioners travel during peak times. Commuters with disabilities will pay R371.00 for 100 trips valid for six months irrespective of the number of zones travelled. They will get a 50% discount on multi-journey trips. Smartcards will be sold for R64.00. Private bus hire and contracts will be increased by 7%. Metrobus hires out 38 buses to schools, hospitals and private companies. Rea Vaya fares will go up by 80c – from R6.20 to R7.00 – for the shortest trip, while the furthest point fare increases by 40c – from R14.10 to R14.50. A single trip card will now cost 40c more at R15.00 Smartcards will be sold for R28.00 at Thokoza Park, Indingilizi, Orlando Stadium, Diepkloof, the Kingsway campus of the University of Johannesburg, Park Station, Johannesburg Art Gallery and Carlton Eastbound stations. The penalty fee has increased to R14.50 and the inspector fare evasion penalty to R25.00. Almost 80% of Metrobus and Rea Vaya commuters use coupons. As a result those who buy coupons or Smartcard for multiple trips enjoy a discount, which makes them far cheaper than cash fares. For more information commuters can call 0860 562 874 or (011) 403 4300 for both companies or go to www.mbus.co.za or www.reavaya.org.za.

hando Roto proved he is on track to run a second sub-10 time in the 100 metres in the next few weeks when he won the 100m in 10.11s recently at the Bilboa-meeting in Spain. The conditions did not favour fast times. It was rainy and cold, and the track was rock hard. Given this Roto is sort of satisfied with the way his race played out. “It was not one of my better races, but given the circumstances, I am satisfied. Unfortunately, I did not have the best of starts, but I made up for it by being able to accelerate towards the end of the race. It was a confidence booster to come so close to running a 10.0s,” said the Tuks-athlete, whose next race is on 2 July in France. Clarence Munyai, the South African junior record holder over
