#Bua Mzansi “The campaign will develop and utilise

technology to enable the public to nominate and engage with potential candidates and ensure that they are properly scrutinised” - David Lewis By Moses Moyo - mosesmoyo@icloud.com

orruption Watch recently launched a mass public awareness and mobilisation campaign, Bua Mzansi, in a bid to ensure that the Office of the Public Protector remains a safely guarded cornerstone of South Africa’s democracy when the new public protector takes office later this year. The current public protector, Thuli Madonsela, (pictured) ends her term on 19 October 2016. Madonsela has earned widespread respect for her commitment to tackling corruption, and to holding government accountable for the quality and performance of its administration, without fear or favour. According to David Lewis, the executive director of Corruption Watch “Bua Mzansi, Sesotho for Speak up South Africa, is a nation-

wide public awareness and participation campaign to highlight and monitor the appointment process and ensure that it is conducted in a transparent manner and is influenced by public opinion.” This campaign encourages the public to take an active part in nominating and voting for suitable candidates, creating avenues for vigorous public engagement and dialogue about the role of the public protector, while also exploring new ways of engaging and amplifying the public voice. “The campaign will develop and utilise technology to enable the public to nominate and engage with potential candidates and ensure that they are properly scrutinised. “It will also make participation in

the process easier through the use of a crowd-voting application that will seek to influence the president’s decision on the selection of the new public protector.” Continues Lewis. “The timing of this campaign is opportune, as there are other critical appointments due to be made during 2016.” David Lewis said. A new head of the South African Human Rights Commission will be appointed to take over from Lawrence Mushwana, and three very senior judges will leave the bench this year, namely Constitutional Court judge Johann van der Westhuizen, Supreme Court of Appeal president Lex Mpati, who is retiring in May and Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, who retires in November. “We hope that this campaign will generate a public debate on the most effective and democratic method of appointing the leaders of all Chapter 9 institutions and other key posts that require independence, for example judicial appointments and appointments to leading law enforcement and prosecutorial bodies”, Lewis continued “The public protector plays a critical role in the fight against cor-

Public Protector Thuli Madonsela

ruption in South Africa, and this crucial position is therefore open to the danger of political interference, and vulnerable to executive influence, for this reason — ‘Bua Mzansi’ seeks to ensure that every step of the appointment process takes place in the public spotlight

to safeguard the independence and integrity of the Office of the Public Protector and that public voice is influential in making the appointment of the leader of an institution precisely charged with protecting and advancing the interests of the public ” , Lewis concluded.

unday, the 20th of March was the International Day of Happiness, and Afrika Tikkun celebrated with an Open Drumming Circle Insta-event at Maboneng Precinct. Ten drummers from Uthando Centre in Braamfontein came with 20 drums. The public was invited to the drumming session and to dance in the drumming circle. We toyi-toyi for joy. It was a moment to celebrate. Why did we do this? Because as challenging as times are in South Africa there are many good news stories to celebrate. Afrika Tikkun is a good news story, the children and youth who come to our centres are good news stories. We are good news stories. Here are some other reasons to be happy in South Africa: 1 - South Africans are at least being honest with each other… it means we can have honest debate, and carve out a way forward. 2 - South Africa has the largest ARV programme in the world and as a result the life expectancy of the average South African has increased by 3 years. 3 - South Africa has a courageous Public

Ex-US missionary jailed for abusing Kenyan orphans Kenya - A former US missionary has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for sexually abusing children at an orphanage in Kenya. Matthew Lane Durham, 21, had committed “heinous crimes on the most vulnerable victims”, the US court said. Durham targeted orphans while working as a volunteer at the Upendo Children’s Home in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, between April and June 2014. He is the latest charity worker in Kenya to be convicted of sex crimes. Although Durham said he was innocent of the charges, he added that he was sorry that the accusations against him had damaged the orphanage. “The Upendo kids do not deserve this,’’ Durham said. Judge David Russell said Durham, who appeared in court in a prison-issued orange jumpsuit, was the abused children’s “worst nightmare come true”, it reported.

Tanzania - Teachers in parts of Tanzania’s capital Dar es Salaam are being given free transport to and from their schools. Kinondoni District Commissioner Paul Makonda said he hopes to expand the scheme across the entire city. The trips on the “daladala” bus taxis will be paid for by the city’s associations, echoing a scheme where soldiers travel for free on buses. Mr Makonda set up the scheme after First Lady Janeth Magufuli visited a local school in February.

The ID cards are expected to be available for 3,000 teachers by the end of the week.

Nurse acquitted of marriage wrecking Botswana - Due to lack of evidence, Mogoditshane Kgotla this week declared a 32-year-old nurse innocent after she was brought to court, charged with marriage wrecking. The verdict did not go down well with her accuser Kelesitse Mosotho, 30, who insists that Lesedi Dabutha is sleeping with her husband. Mosotho’s allegations did not end there. She also accused Chief Keabetswe Dihutso of being biased, claiming that he was ‘paid off’ to reach his decision. “For sure I know Dabutha is sleeping with my husband. She paid the Chiefs so that I lose the case,” she claimed. During the hearing, the aggrieved wife told the court that Dabutha, who works as a nurse in the children’s ward at Princes Marina Hospital, confessed to her that she had had sex with her husband. Mosotho explained that after this, her husband, moved out of their marital home and suspects that he has moved in with Dabutha. “I always see them walking together and people have told me they frequently see the two of them standing in front of Dabutha’s house. She is the reason there is no peace at home,” Mosotho fumed. Mosotho was give 30 days to appeal the decision and she seems certain to do so as she expressed her disappointment over the ruling.

News Briefs from around SA Bogus NPA official nabbed

33-year-old man, who pretended to be a National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) official, was arrested recently after he received cash in exchange for services which allegedly included having Paralympian Oscar Pistorius’ murder case destroyed. The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) said the man was arrested in Pretoria soon after he received a deposit of R40 000. Hawks spokesperson Brigadier

Hangwani Mulaudzi said the man had allegedly masqueraded as an official from the NPA and “demanded R250 000 from Pistorius, promising him that he would ensure that Pistorius’ murder case was squashed”. “The Hawks were informed of the matter and an operation was conducted,” Mulaudzi said. “The suspect was arrested next to the Pretoria High Court and he has been charged with corruption and further charges cannot be ruled out.”

Easter road safety operation launched

Tshwane Mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa

retoria Law enforcement authorities have intensified their operations in preparation for the increase in traffic volumes heading into the Easter weekend. Tshwane Metro Police Department launched its annual Easter road safety operation by holding a roadblock at the Wallmannsthal off-ramp on the N1. City mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa, who was at the roadblock, urged motorists to drive carefully. Roads leading to various destinations become death traps during the long weekend, Ramokgopa said. Tshwane metro police officers warned motorists exceeding the speed limit, among other unlawful behaviour on the road, that they would be fined or arrested. Motorists were also urged not to drink and drive. The legal alcohol limit of 0.05g/100ml is exceeded after just

two standard beers, and motorists suspected of being over the limit will be breathalysed. Metro police spokesman Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said an intense plan involving all stakeholders was in place to ensure a positive outcome and promote road safety. Traffic officers would be maintaining high visibility on all national routes. These would be accompanied by roving roadblocks and roadworthiness tests for all vehicles at strategic points within the metro. Acting deputy chief of police Jenny Malan said they were determined to ensure the safety of all motorists and passengers during the Easter weekend. The Road Traffic Management Corporation said there would be zero tolerance for traffic violations. Spokesman Simon Zwane said it was urging all passengers to wear seatbelts and for children to be in child seats. The president of Concerned Tshwane Liquor Traders, Oupa Mthombeni, said most accidents were a result of drunken driving. He said the organisation was holding a campaign in the communities encouraging liquor traders not to sell alcohol to driving customers. He added that they planned to confiscate car keys of motorists who were drunk, or call their next of kin to fetch them.

Education

Take grade 11 as seriously as matric W Dr Felicity Coughlan

Throughout one’s school career Grade 12 – Matric – is viewed as the ultimate year, the year in which you have to account for what you learned in the decade before, and the year whose results will follow you for the rest of your life.

hat learners and parents don’t realise, is that Grade 11 can arguably be considered as important, if not more so, than one’s final year, an education expert says. “There are at least five reasons why Grade 11 learners should take this year very seriously, and put as much effort into it as they will next year,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest and most accredited private higher education provider. She says the penultimate school year is a significant one because it provides: 1) Insurance “The effort you put into Grade 11 can be considered as insurance should something go awry in the future,” says Dr Coughlan. “There are an increasing number of institutions that make provisional offers based on your Grade 11 results, and many will still admit you even if your

Grade 12 is a little less strong. But if your results in Grade 11 are weak, you have nothing to fall back on.” 2) Exam focus Teachers set Grade 11 exams to mimic the format and complexity of grade 12, says Dr Coughlan. “That means that taking your Grade 11 exams seriously will help you understand how you are doing and how ready you will be for your final exams. It helps you to work out where you need to apply more focus. “This year’s exams provide a measure of where you are, and should be treated as part of your preparation for your finals.” 3) Opportunity to experiment Dr Coughlan says that Grade 11 allows some time for experimenting before crunch-time arrives. “Learn new study methods and stress management methods, and experiment with things you have not done before, like study

Pikitup intensifies its contingency measures

ikitup, the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, is intensifying its contingency measures to counter the effects of the waste collection service disruptions, despite intimidation by some striking workers. Residents and business owners are urged to keep bins and excess waste outside their properties to ensure that waste is collected through the contingency measures put in place. It is important to note that in certain instances collection is done during the night and may continue throughout the week until normal services resume. Residents and business owners are urged to recycle their waste in order to reduce the waste going to the landfill sites and where possible to drop off their waste at their nearest garden refuse sites. We appeal to communities to work with us in order to ensure the safety of the third party contractors. Contingency measures: l We are collecting waste from the municipal clinics and hospitals, and from some of our bulk customers. l The Dailies service is currently only taking place on a period basis. l Decanting of all the Garden Sites is currently taking place. l We appeal to our commercial customers to liaise with their customer service consultants to schedule emergency collection.

l Collection of recyclable materials continues in participating areas. Areas not being collected as a result of intimidations experienced: l Northern areas: -Ivory Park -Diepsloot -Parts of Alexandra l Central areas: Parts of Doornfontein including Hostels in the inner city CBD l Southern areas: -Central Camp Depot: Orlando East, Meadowlands, The exit from Goudkoppies and Diepkloof. -Zondi Depot: Zola, Protea North, Mndeni, Dobsonville and Mapetla. -Southdale Depot: Mangololo, George Goch and Denver. -Roodepoort Depot: Zamimpilo, Slovo and Kathrada. -Waterval Depot: Westbury and Riverlea. -Avalon Depot: Freedom Park, Lehae, Lenasia South and Lawley. Services not being offered: l No Street sweeping or litter picking is taking place except for the various CBDs across the City of Johannesburg. l The bulky waste service is not being offered at this stage.

groups and mind maps. Finding a variety of study techniques and approaches that work for you will allow you to enter Grade 12 with a revision system that will make you perform at your best.” 4) Opportunity to test timing If you keep good track of how long it takes you to master different kinds of work, that will allow you to draw up an accurate study plan next year. “Knowing your pace of work means you will be able to revise with enough time allocated right from the start, so that you don’t run out of days before you run out of work to revise.” 5) A chance to carefully evaluate post-matric options Assessing their Grade 11 results and performance empower learners to make better decisions about their post-school direction, including about which options are available to them, what courses to apply for and where.

“Learners should start working out their ‘points’ for higher education entrance from Grade 10,” says Dr Coughlan. “This means they should thoroughly research the courses they want to study and the results they need for their application to be accepted. In Grade 11, learners are then able to monitor how realistic their aspirations are and where they need to do more work, which will reduce uncertainty when applying.” Matric does not start in your last year of school, Dr Coughlan says. “Matric is not a year-long event, but rather a two-year long project. If you start applying your mind to your final exams right now and take the long view coupled with a strategy, you will be able to deliver your absolute best when you sit for your finals in a year and a half’s time, and significantly improve your chances of being able to follow your dream post-Matric.”

Ready for the road l

Preparation is key for travelling by car, truck or van

Making sure a vehicle is ready for a road trip is an essential part of the preparation

hether the destination is a few hours away, or requires multiple days of travel to reach. Definitely there is all the planning that goes into long road trips, and those can be especially hard on your vehicles. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning for your first extended road trip of the year, you want to make sure your vehicle is up for the drive. As far as vehicle safety is concerned, tires are one of the most important aspects to be aware of checking on a regular basis. Tire blowouts or leaks are the most common causes of vehicle breakdowns. Every car should be equipped with a lug wrench, jack and tire iron. Inspection of tires, including tread depth and proper inflation, is a high priority. That especially includes having a spare, and making sure all tires are in good condition for the road. Timing for removal of winter tires in favour of summer or all-season replacements depends on the brand involved, temperature and road conditions. A professional should be consulted in each case for more precise information about each brand of tire.

Inspection of tire tread, depth and proper inflation, is a high priority

Looking under the hood can be ominous for those not mechanically inclined, but before a trip, several areas should be checked out, whether it is handled by a professional mechanic, family member or friend. Check your engine oil levels and your washer fluid and lights to make sure they are in good condition. In addition to under the hood and beneath the vehicle, interior aspects should be checked as well, including making sure child seats have not expired or suffered damaged and head restraints are properly set. When adjusting a head restraint, drivers should make sure it is level with the top of their head and as close to the back of their head as possible. You may need to adjust the back of the seat, at the same time, you want to make sure your passengers have their head restraints set properly as well. Keeping a basic roadside kit either in the trunk or inside the vehicle is a good idea at all times, but essential for a long road trip. Important items to have on hand in case of a minor or major roadside emergency include a first-aid kit, flares and/or a flashlight, spare fuses, jumper cables or a portable battery booster, gloves, rags and cleaner, a pen and paper, snacks and water.

Youngsters impress at Under-17 tournament

Bidvest Wits’ Under-17 soccer team

idvest Wits’ Under-17 soccer team became the first South African team to reach the final of the star-studded Future Champions International tournament after edging out Mexican side Tijuana, only to fall at the last hurdle when they were overcome 2-1 by Atletico Madrid. The Spanish giants – who have now won the eight-year-old tournament a record four times – were the same team that accounted for Orlando Pirates’ semifinal exit. The week-long tournament, played at the Nike Centre in Klipspruit,

Soweto, was organised by Global Sports International in partnership with the Gauteng Provincial Government, South African Football Association (SAFA) and the City of Johannesburg. Though Bidvest Wits lost, the local soccer fraternity was generally impressed about the growing stature of local football. Bidvest Wits had a golden opportunity to claim gold when Atletico Madrid had a player sent off midway through the second half, but poor shooting and indecisiveness in front of goal were their undoing.

Bidvest Wits coach Dillon Sheppard was, however, all praise for his charges and said the future was bright for them. “To reach the final in such a starstudded tournament is victory in itself for us. We can only improve from here. Watch this space,” he said. Bafana Bafana coach Shakes Mashaba was equally impressed, saying there should be more of such tournaments and urged corporate South Africa to come to the party. “We’ve a lot of talent in this country, it just needs to be unearthed and developed. This was a wonderful tournament and a boost to our soccer,” he said. Sharing Mashaba’s sentiments was Pirates coach Augusto Palacios, who said his charges learnt a lot from featuring in the tournament. “We can only get better from here,” he said. Former Moroka Swallows winger Finky Sekete was one of the soccer veterans who attended the games. “My generation was robbed of the opportunity to play international football. We can only wonder what it could have been had our democracy arrived a bit earlier, in the 1970s or 1980s,” he said.

Malesela rewarded ►Chippa

United coach Dan Malesela has signed a new three-year deal that will take his tenure with the Club to 2019

alesela affectionately known in football circles as ‘Dan Dance’ joined the Chilliboys back in December 2015 initially as an assistant to then Coach, Roger Sikhakhane. He took over the reins from Sikhakhane when the latter was suspended and later vacated the coaching post. ‘Dan Dance’ has guided the Club to sixth position in the Premiership standings only four points behind fifth placed Mpumalanga Black Aces who are on 37 points with seven games to go. Chippa United Chairman, Siviwe ‘Chippa’ Mpengesi said; “We are delighted that Malesela has signed a new contract effective 12th March 2016. He is a man of principle, who lives and breathes the game. He exceeded our expectations hav-

ing joined us only as an assistant coach back in December. He fulfilled his mandate to keep the team in the Premier Soccer League. The team is playing an exciting brand of football and the new contract is a reward for his passion and hard work he has put into the team in the past couple of months. We want him continue to develop the team and the Club. We want him to continue with his work to identify the best talent in the Eastern Cape and beyond. I have no doubt we have an exciting future ahead of us with him leading the team.” Malesela who guided his charges to a draw against Maritzburg United recently said; “I want to stay and continue with the work we started couple of months ago. The team is making progress, but we cannot rest on our laurels. I am pleased with the support I am getting from everyone at the Club. “I am grateful for the opportunity and I am looking forward being part of this growing brand for a long period. I must also add that I am humbled and grateful of the support I have received from the fans in and around Eastern Cape and during our away matches,” added Malesela.
