New Look? New Media! Cabinet re-shuffle

ithout a doubt, the newspaper looks different. More ‘magazinelike’ and more visual, this new layout celebrates our milestone of becoming a certified grassroots publication. As young as we are (four years to be exact), we felt that the only way to sustain our brand is to accommodate the ever-changing demands of the readers into the paper.

Research tells us that South Africa and the continent at large has a youthful population, with over 70% ranging from ages 15 to 35 years. This group of people, sadly, do not read newspapers that much. This is simply because the World has now introduced what we now call ‘New Media’ and this is how the news of the day is told and shared. According to Wikipedia, New media refers to on-demand access to content anytime, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive user feedback, creative participation. Another aspect of new media is the real-time generation of new, unregulated content. This means that since people access content 24/7/365 using digital devices such as smartphones and computers, Mapepeza Newspaper has no choice but to join the trend. The internet has bought about the second visual revolution in newspaper design with even more colour and use of visuals, even more brevity, more easy-to-digest articles. That is where we are today, and the challenges of the ‘internet age’ are what all newspapers are still trying to answer. For now, as the Television shows, Magazine and Newspaper titles and radio stations move online; we have to now prepare the communities we live in to now embrace and utilize the World Wide Web. Our online presence is still active on the social media platforms (created for us): full articles and pictures on Facebook, links and alerts on Twitter, daily updates on Google plus and LinkedIn, and all the previously published Mapepeza Newspaper editions ready to read on Issuu.com Mapepeza Newspaper will still bring the same content, only the presentation has changed. We quote the words of Oliver Tambo who once said: “A nation that does not take care of its youth does not deserve its future.” That is a very important quote that helped us decide to transform the publication – looking forward to greater and a more prosperous South Africa. We support the second phase of the implementation of the Government’s National Development Plan (NDP Vision 2030), where now the focus is on radical economic transformation. In response to that, Mapepeza Newspaper has radically transitioned to become what you’re seeing now. Thank you for the support and active participation in making this paper a reality. Our team promises to continue Engaging, Educating and Empowering Communities ad infinitum! - Stephen Seakgwe

SAPS: We are ready to provide safety during Easter Holidays

The South African Police Service (SAPS) working together with other law enforcement agencies in the province is geared up to ensure that all people are and feel safe during Easter holidays through Operation Paseka (Safer Easter Holidays) that is already underway as from today. It is common knowledge that crime escalates during this period and this requires extra deployment and vigilance by the police to prevent and combat crimes through enhanced visibility including safety on identified national roads, within residential areas and any other places where people are expected to assemble in large numbers. As in previous years this time, members of SAPS have been deployed in accordance with the Back-to-Basic approach to ensure that, those who travel, visit or stay within the boundaries of the province are safe. Even though the police have been deployed to ensure a safe and secure environment as well as stabilising identified crime hot-spot areas, an urgent request is made to all our communities to work together with the police including taking preventative measures to safeguard themselves and their properties as together we will achieve more. Members of the community are urged to

take heed and apply the following safety hints: • Do not drink and drive, avoid speeding by leaving your departure point on time. • In case of pedestrians, do not drink and walk on or along the road. • If you know that you will be away for a longer period, do not leave your house unattended, rather leave another person to take care of it or report your absence at your police station so that the police can make turns at your place during patrols. • To avoid hijackings, know your destination and be alert if you get lost. Never leave keys in the ignition when alighting the car to open the gate. • To avoid mugging, if you are waiting to be collected, do not wait outside. Always try to wait inside a building. • If possible, avoid walking alone. Your best defence is having other people nearby. • If you walk alone, plan your route carefully and stay in well-lit areas as much as possible. Motorists are warned to exercise caution, be alert and avoid at all costs giving lifts to hitchhikers as some of these people victimise the same motorists who offer them lifts by robbing them.

BACK TO BASICS Kicks into Phase 2! “Let us emphasise unity within local government, in honour of OR Tambo” - Zuma

pic: Kopano Tlape GCIS

President Jacob Zuma the 3rd Presidential Local Government Summit held in Midrand, Johannesburg under the theme “Tranforming Municipal Spaces for Radical Social and Economic Development”. The two day summit was convened by the President to provide strategic direction for the new term of local government and discuss a focused action plan that will help transform the local government to ensure radical socioeconomic transformation in line with the Back to Basics Programme (B2B).

n April 6, the third Presidential Local Government Summit was officially opened by convenor President Jacob Zuma at Gallagher Convention Centre under the “Transforming Municipal Spaces for Radical Social and Economic Development” The aim of the Summit is to continue supporting the Back-to-Basics programme in our municipalities as a building block for what the NDP defines as developmental local governance. To this effect, he Summit also intends to agree on ways to further strengthen the system of local government in the second phase of the B2B programme, in the following areas: 1. Addressing spatial injustice and spatial dislocation; 2. Building resilient communities; and 3. Forge government-wide agreements on approaches and concrete actions to advance radical social and economic transformation at a local level. The Summit reviewed progress towards strengthening our system of Local Government based on reflections of the successes and challenges of the Back to Basics approach, and concomitantly function as the formal launch of the B2B programme’s second phase. The first day saw interactive panel discussions on the following topics:

Panel 1: Intergovernmental and stakeholder roles and responsibilities towards radical social and economic transformation at local level. Outcome: Municipalities were urged to understand roles and responsibilities towards radical social and economic transformation at local level and what opportunities and challenges are faced as we seek to advance the agenda for radical socio-economic transformation. Panel 2: Intergovernmental and Stakeholder cooperation and collaboration to ensure resilient municipalities thorough focused Disaster Risk Reduction strategies. Outcome: Municipalities must build effective Early Warning Systems to support Disaster/Climate change mitigation strategies. Panel 3: Transforming the economy of space: intergovernmental commitments towards radical socio-economic transformation. Outcome: Spatial transformation is needed; this means planning to build the economy and social infrastructure for the benefit of all, and provide more opportunities and choices for all people in a spatially just society. The above panels will assist not only to shape the outcome of this important summit, but also go a long way in strengthening local government.

LAST QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA REMEMBERED! AFRICAN ARCHIVES THE HER IMPERIAL MAJESTY EMPRESS MENEN (WOLETE GIORGIS)

mpress Menen Asfaw (Baptismal name Walatta Giyorgis) (25 Magabit 1883 Ethiopian Calendar, 3 April 1891 Gregorian Calendar – 15 February 1962) was the Empress consort of the Ethiopian Empire. She was the wife of Emperor Haile Selassie the First.

Every great man in history came into the world from the womb of a woman. Historically black women have been the pillar of strength throughout Africa and the Diaspora. Without examining the contributions made by black women throughout the ages, the full story of the black experience and struggle cannot be told. This report aims to focus on the life and works of a virtuous woman, Empress Menen, Queen of Queens of Ethiopia. H.I.M Empress Menen was born on 3rd April 1891 in the Egua village of the Ambassel region of the Wollo province. She was baptised Wolete Giorgis in the St Delba Giorgis Church. Her name Menen was given for the most beautiful respected ladies. Woizero Menen was the granddaughter of Negus (King) Mikael from the Wollo province.

Gauteng to review initiation school laws

The Gauteng Provincial Government will revisit the regulations of traditional initiation schools in terms of section 12 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. Social Development MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza said the death of initiates in the traditional initiation schools and the secrecy of those who die in the schools are some of the reasons that made provincial government to revisit the regulations. “It is also in the spirit of finding solutions to the challenges facing us and the desire to restore dignity, safety and values of cultural initiation practice,” MEC Mayathula-Khoza said. The MEC was speaking during the child and youth care Non-Profit Organisations (NPO) stakeholder engagement, which is currently underway at Turffontein Racecourse, in Johannesburg on Thurday (April 6).

Her father was Jantirar Asfaw and her mother was Woizero Sehin, daughter of Negus Mikael. Empress Menen was known to be kind, compassionate and devoutly God fearing. She knew her native language of Amharic and was a well read and skilful writer, having gained various acadamic qualifications including home economics and spinning - an Ethiopian tradition. Woizero Menen Asfaw was given in marriage by her family, to Dejazmach Ali of Cherecha, a prominent Wollo nobleman, and bore him a daughter, Woizero Belaynesh Ali and a son, Jantirar Asfaw Ali. This marriage ended in divorce and Woizero Menen then married Dejazmach (Prince) Amede Ali Aba-Deyas, another prominent nobleman of Wollo. She had two children for him, a daughter Woizero Desta Amede and a son Jantirar Gebregziabiher Amede. Unfortunately Empress Menen's second husband died suddenly. Woizero Menen was married to Dejazmatch Tafari Makonnen (later known to be Emperor Haile Selassie I), in a church ceremony on 30 July 1911, in the province of Harar. Emperor Haile Selassie as Governor of Harar in His twentieth year said of HIM Empress Menen

"...Her character is such that, apart from goodness, there is no evil or malice in her. Ever since, we were married, we lived together, by virtue of her being fertile, in one family joy, as well as sadness..." For the first time in Ethiopian history, Empress Menen was crowned Queen of Queens, alongside Emperor Haile Selassie I, King of Kings on 2 November 1930 at St Giorgis Church in Addis Ababa. Their sacred and happy union lasted forty-seven years during which time they had six children three daughters and three sons and many grandchildren. She was not just an Empress, leading a secluded life in a palace away from the people; she was a champion to many causes such as, building and visiting churches, schools, hospitals and social service institutions; H.I.M Itegue Menen sought to serve the people instead of demanding services from them. It is not possible to recount all of Empress Menen's good deeds. Her passing at the age of 72 was mourned not only by every Ethiopian but by many others over the world. Source: www.jah-rastafari.com

Legends Moroka Swallows Fly Down To SAB League! Maccabi crowned Gauteng champions! Maccabi were crowned champions of the Gauteng ABC Motsepe League stream, while former PSL giants Moroka Swallows suffered relegation yet again.

XAVI ALONSO RETIRES!

“Lived It. Loved it. Farewell beautiful game” That was the Caption to the tweet that legendary Spanish Midfielder Xabi Alonso posted on his Twitter timeline on the March 9 announcing his retirement from football at

the end of the current campaign. It is understandable that the former Liverpool and Real Madrid man wanted to end his career still at the highest level and he believes that Bayern Munich is the highest

level. “I’m incredibly proud and happy to play for.” Alonso calls time on a career that was trophy laden, one that will see him go down as one of the greatest passers of the ball ever.

www.issuu.com/mapepeza

Maccabi secured the league title in emphatic fashion after they thumped AmaBEE FC 4-1 on the final day of the season and will now progress to the National First Division play-offs. Moroka Swallows were relegated to the SAB League (Fourth tier) after they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Orange Vaal Professionals, who finished the season in second spot. The Dube Birds have now been relegated for the third successive season. They dropped out of the Absa Premiership in 2015, before being relegated from the NFD the following year and have now failed to beat the drop once again. Five years ago Swallows lifted the MTN8 title and fast forward to now, they will be plying their trade in the fourth tier from next season. Mofolo BET Stars were the
