HALALA FOR CHANDRE AND SAKKIE! The Monday of May 29 is a day to remember between Chandre and Sakkie Vosloo. The two lesbian lovers who got legally married in their hometown of Nigel in Ekurhuleni, and they officially tied the knot amongst friends and locals. “It is not easy to fulfil a marriage promise regardless of your sex, gender or colour, said Sakkie. The couple further added that South
Africans must begin to realize that marriage is for those who love each other unconditionally. “I am not a promoter of same sex marriages but I fully condemn the killing of women and children, especially lesbians in our country.

GOD REMEMBERED RATANDA! “South African citizens of Ratanda Location in Heidelberg are beginning to enjoy the gifts of the Holy Spirit,” said Pastor Dhlamini of the Christ Rehoboth Church during his weekday sermon. Congregants were seen falling and the pastor explains why this is happening: ‘The anointing power of God that is vested in the Word of God is breaking and tearing apart all the demons and evil spirits. There is not eating of grass, cow dung or chewing of newspapers by our people. The man of God has allowed his master, Jehovah Almighty God to use him to preach the Gospel of salvation to the poor and vulnerable,” he advocated. Every Wednesday evening the Church hosts a ‘Deliverance Service’ open to everyone who can attend. The Christ Rehoboth is located in the Extension 5 section of Ratanda. Contact Pastor Dhlamini on 0732888660.
The Expo will officially open on 9 June at 10:00 with a panel discussion on the relevance and importance of June 16 to today’s youth followed by the graduation ceremony of the K53 Learner Driver Instructors. One of the highlights of the Expo is the launch of the Tshepo One Million programme on 15 June where the Gauteng government and 20 companies that have made commitment to empower young people will sign the partnership agreements. Planned activities at the Expo include the following: • Relaunch of the Tshepo 1 Million youth empowerment programme, 15 June. • Exhibition – 200 exhibitors to provide information and services on Careers, Jobs and Entrepreneurship drawn from the private sector. Young people can also look forward to services such as obtaining matric certificates, applying online for admission, health screening. • Dialogues, seminars and workshops: 30 dialogues on a variety of topics. Former President Thabo Mbeki will deliver the second Annual Youth Month Lecture on 15 June focusing on the life and contribution of the former President of the ANC, OR Tambo. • Sport and recreation activities including the OR Tambo Social Cohesion Games. • Cultural performances by up-and-coming and established artists. • Book fair, cinema and theatre: Kalushi will be screened alongside other movies and young writers will be provided an opportunity to promote their works. • June 16: National Youth Day programme encompassing wreath laying at the June 16 memorial, a walk by 15 000 youth from Orlando Stadium to Nasrec and official programme at Nasrec to be addressed by the Premier David Makhura.

And indeed, the African national Congress (AnC) guided by the legacy and the values of Or Tambo will deliver on the promise. Each leg represents each local municipality. And, we are the heart and soul of local economic growth and development in our region. And the cooks are the elected councillors and staff
that are to be prepared and trained to deal with the challenges and opportunities of the 4th industrial revolution, to ensure that the dish is just what the our communities have ordered. We call upon, all trade unions that now is the time for – an integrated call not for only decent work and decent wages; but for skills transformation and uptake in all our various sectors of the economy.” she said in the sODA speech. The speech by mayor Modisakeng also spoke on the objectives of her administration this year: These developmental priorities are: • the establishment of business incubation and innovation centres, tourism and entertainment development, • Agriculture and agro-processing opportunities, • Green economy opportunities; • the establishment of a logistical hub, and • Advanced manufacturing. “We have a lot to do – to increase the size of the cake than to only ration it out.

Business should also invest in socioeconomic programmes that reduce inequalities, poverty and unemployment as a practical demonstration of their social citizenry. “Meanwhile, government must recover lost ground by playing an active and meaning role as globally investors do not have much faith in the ability of government to deliver on their promises,” said Mayor Masina.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba said he was happy to see that Ekurhuleni is looking to promote investment in advanced manufacturing. “Essential infrastructure and services should be provided in such a way that they encourage the agglomeration and `connectedness’ that promote inclusive economic growth and development. “We need to create high density, high-activity mixed-use nodes and spines, along public transport corridors, and we need to invest in efficient mass public transport along these spines,” said Minister Gigaba. Gigaba said for the Metro to achieve inclusive economic growth it needed to engage other stakeholders, like PrAsA on how Ekurhuleni public transport systems will interface with the services provided by the entity, Transnet, ACsA and sAA with regard to their capital investment plans and what they can do to bolster the Aerotropolis.
