On Tuesday, June 2, Executive mayor Mondli Gungubele, said the project was close to his heart. “The condition these families were living in was unacceptable. It really moved me. “We thank everyone who contributed their time and skills to make this possible.”

“Former members who left the SAPS due to retirement, were dishonourably discharged or dismissed, left pending the finalisation of disciplinary and/or criminal proceedings or left due to ill-health retirement or medical boarding, will not be considered for re-enlistment,” said Phahlane.

Former members applying for reenlistment will be subjected to a thorough screening process, which will include, but not be restricted to: psychological assessment; fingerprinting; reference-checking; medical testing and checking of previous

Only those former members who have good attendance and disciplinary records need apply. The applicant should also have successfully completed basic police training and relevant functional police training courses, among other requirements.

The SAPS has already placed advertisements regarding this process in South African Sunday newspapers (City Press etc).

TEGWAN’S NEST PRIMARY SCHOOL BENEFITS FROM SASOL!

ELECTION OBSERVER APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!

APPLICATIONS for organisations to observe the 2016 Municipal Elections are open until 5pm on Friday 24 June 2016. Observers, both foreign and domestic, are extremely valuable to the election process. 1. Neutral outsiders, who have been present and seen what has happened during voting, counting and the determination of results, can tell the world that the process was transparent, free and fair. The opinion of an impartial witness carries a great deal of weight. 2. It's also possible that the presence of observers has a stabilising effect on would-be troublemakers and ensures that everyone concerned is on their best behaviour. 3. International observers, from organisations such as the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and the Commonwealth, often have vast experience of elections in various parts of the world and are able to give us invaluable advice and support.

What they do

Observers keep an eye on voting procedures, the counting of votes, and the determination and declaration of results.

KATLEHONG WOMAN IS ARRESTED FOR LYING TO THE COPS! ON Wednesday evening, June 8, the Katlehong FCS members arrested a 38 year old woman at Khumalo section in Katlehong for allegedly giving false information to the police. It is alleged that on 2012 a woman opened a rape case on behalf of her ten year old daughter. Her daughter was six year by then when the rape case was opened.

Some of the dagga confiscated by EMPD officers during the Bumper-to-Bumper raid operation in Vosloorus A joint operation of EMPD and SAPS members conducted a special operation at Vosloorus hostel between Friday midnight and Saturday morning (27 and 28 May). Mnguni hostel was the main target as information provided pointed to the hostel harboring dangerous wanted criminals and those involved in serious criminality. The police focus was on blocks G, H and I. Ten males and two females who are between the ages of 21 and 39 were arrested for public drinking

and an elderly couple of was arrested for possession and dealing in dagga. About 56 cases of beer were confiscated from a tavern operating illegally without a valid permit. Intelligence-driven periodical swoops on the hostels in Vosloorus will take place until those who are wanted as well as those who commit crime and use the hostels as a hiding haven are caught. All the arrested persons were charged at Vosloorus police station and appeared in the Vosloorus Magistrate’s Court on Monday, May 30.

During the opening of a case, a woman gave the statement that her daughter was raped by her husband (biological father). The father was arrested for rape on the same day. He stayed three month in prison, until the investigation discovered that he was not the suspect on the rape case and the case was acquitted in court. A case of perjury is opened against a mother of a child. A woman is arrested for perjury and she’s expected to appear in Palm Ridge court today.

CLASSIFIEDS BUSINESS

egativity is like venom that rushes through your blood system, gushing up to destroy your nervous system or shut down your brain from positive functions. It convinces its victims to accept defeat and failure as though it is normal to do so; it paves your way towards your fall and destruction. Negative attitude smiles at your face whilst waiting for that hour when you will fall on your knees and utter words like “I can’t” or “It’s not for me”, it always compares you with others but not the right ones. This disease drains your ability, potential and hope, places you in lonely dark corner where only you and your shadow discuss nothing but negativity.

Yes we all get challenged sometimes, but that does not mean we are what our challenges put us through, it takes one with a simple positive mind-set to break the negative stereotype and see beyond the dark moments. Shake off any form of negativity in your life; watch your utterances and statements for they shall be the foundation of your future. Word of caution from the editor:
