DUDUZA’S VELI GAMBI FINALLY SENT TO PRISON!
Veli Gambi (27) was found guilty and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment for armed robbery. On February 25 this year, Veli robbed his 30 year old male victim at the corner of Khumalo and Nala Streets in Duduza. A case for armed robbery was then registered and Gambi was arrested and detained the same day. The matter was placed before the Nigel Magistrate Court and on the 26th of February this year the suspect appeared. Veli was found guilty on the charge of armed robbery on the 28th of July and was sentenced to 7 year imprisonment. The court also declared Veli unfit to possess a fire arm.
A robbery took place at the Victorian Shopping Centre during Saturday night of August 5. The store manager at Heidelberg’s Total Sport discovered that the shop was burgled into during the night after he saw clothes, bags and plastics lying all over the shop. Upon further investigating inside the shop and storeroom, he found that the storeroom was ransacked, two safes were grinded open. Cellphones from the safe and undisclosed

T
he official results of this year’s Local Government Elections, held on August 1-3, were announced at the IEC Results Operations Centre (the ROC) in full view of political party leaders, government officials and the media. According to the IEC, in the 2016 Municipal elections, about 55% of 26.33m registered voters were women. In 26 municipalities in #LGE2016 no party achieved a majority – which are known as hung councils. A record of 1.3 million new voters registered. Of the 213 municipalities contested in the elections, ANC achieved majority in 161 municipalities, DA in 19 & IFP Inkatha in 6. 9301 council seats contested in the municipal elections, excluding District Council seats, the ANC won 5080 seats (48.3%), DA 1723 seats (13.8%),

In 26 municipalities contested, no party achieved a majority – which are known as hung councils. The City of Ekurhuleni is one of the metropolitan municipalities labelled as a ‘hung council’, where the ANC managed to wrestle control of Ekurhuleni in Gauteng with 109 seats while the DA trailed with 77 seats followed by the EFF with 25 seats. In addition, the commission admitted that the elections were not free of challenges.

MONUMENT TO HONOUR WOMEN OF ‘56
President Jacob Zuma and deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa are delighted to witness these works of art dedicated to the Womens march against pass-laws in 1956 at the Lillian Ngoyi square in the City of Tshwane. President Zuma said the launch of the Women's Living Heritage Monument at Lillian Ngoyi Square was a symbol of the bravery and patriotism of South African women, and a monument to their contribution to the liberation and democracy that South Africa has achieved. The monument tells the story of women’s contribution to the liberation struggle and features four statues of the heroic stalwarts, Lillian Ngoyi, Sophie De Bruyn, Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa. “Their march was not in vain. We recognise many others who dared the apartheid state in 1956 and marched to Union Buildings, and also women in every part of the country, who contributed in various ways to the freedom we are enjoying today. “We also recognise women who have contributed to building this country - the factory workers, domestic workers, farm workers, those who work on our roads and every other sphere.” President Zuma said while much had been achieved, there was still some work to be done. “Some communities are still waiting for water, electricity, sanitation and housing. Women are still struggling as they travel long distances to fetch water. “It is for this reason that work is continuing to improve the lives of our people each day. Government will not rest until decent basic services reach all our people.” The unveiling of the struggle herione monument was officially done on the morning of Women’s Day, August 9.

Top five reasons to support small businesses
5
SUPPORTING THE LIFEBLOOD OF SOUTH AFRICA’S ECONOMY, BUY LOCAL BRANDS. SUPPORT SMMES THIS SEPTEMBER 2 ON #SMALLBIZFRIDAY Article from NSBC and Nedbank
The countdown has begun for South Africa’s biggest small business day of the year, Small Business Friday on 02 September. But why is it so important for the nation to get behind small business? Here are our top five reasons to support small business:
1. Convenience
Small businesses are local and often just around the corner which means that supporting them will save you both time and the energy needed to commute to larger centres.
2. They offer that personal touch
Enjoy great service from someone that really appreciates your business. When you frequently visit a small business you build a relationship with the employees and owner. It is a great feeling to be known and remembered by the person
from whom you make purchases frequently. They can offer special advice, help you when you’re in a ‘fix’ and connect you to other locals you may otherwise never have met.
3. They offer unique products/services
Small Businesses add personality and spice to your local community. In a world filled with an ever increasing amount of franchises, where every mall looks the same, small businesses give a community a special flair and often offer distinctive products and services you can’t get anywhere else. The nature of a small business often also allows them to cater to your specific needs with customised solutions.
4. Your purchase has a positive impact on the business owner, the employees, their families, the community and South Africa
When you support a small business you are not helping a CEO buy a third holiday home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or
dad put food on the table, a family pay a bond, or a student pay for university fees.
5. You’ll be making a positive impact on the economy and assisting in alleviating unemployment One in four people in South Africa are unemployed. What happens when we all elevate our support and shop at our local small businesses? A higher percentage of small businesses will survive and grow, their infrastructure will expand, they will employ more local people – alleviating unemployment, driving job creation and making a real contribution to the economy. Support #SmallBizFriday and help us to mobilise all those around us to join in and build the frenzy. Help us mobilise the nation to make a difference to your community by choosing small business!
MathsTech team gives back to Ratanda!
COMPILED BY: FlamBOYant South Africa
On Saturday, August 6, the team of students enrolled in the MathsTech programme gave back to the Ratanda community as part of their Mandela Day celebrations. The group of high school learners, graduates and local artist were organized by MathTech founder, Paul Nkosi. The journey began in Lehae La Bana, an early childhood development centre in Ratanda, to paint the walls of the crèche to the delight of the facilitators of the place. After the painting was completed, the team moved to Lebone Drop-in Centre. The kids from around the area (some enrolled in Lebone) were invited to be entertained by the MathTech team, who bought along music artists Da-Mazz, Stylez and DjMakgabane. Three graduates and proud beneficiaries of MathsTech shared their life experiences and their journey since graduating from the programme. The children of Lebone drop-in centre were given brand new school shoes and shared fun moments with the MathsTech team of high school learners from Ratanda and Soweto. Founder Paul Nkosi said that the programme began in Soweto back in 2007, where he decided to establish a local division for the learners in Heidelberg. In 2010, the first batch of learners was selected, including graduates Thabo Mosikidi, Thabo Thamae and Sibusiso Ncube. Since then, MathsTech has enabled learners to pass with flying colours and giving them an advantage when enrolling in universities and colleges. He also thanked the young people who are currently using the programme to improve their maths and physical science knowledge, encouraging them to pass with flying colours in the upcoming year-end Lindiwe receives shool shoes from Paul Nkosi and the MathsTech team alongside Lebone drop-in centre facilitators and local artists. examinations.

This Is Good
Our motivation is based on the following story! An old story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, “This is good!” One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!” To which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail. About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way. As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right,” he said, “it was good that my thumb was blown off.” And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. “And so I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.” “No,” his friend replied, “This is good!” “What do you mean, ‘This is good’? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?” “If I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you.” – Author Unknown The morale of the story is that we must see the best out of every bad situation. Sulking and giving in a challenging moment will not help but destroy us .Never allow bad situations to permanently close the doors to your destiny, sometimes we need those stones to be thrown at us in order for us to build our steps up to our better future. Always find an opportunity out that opposing situation, that kind of an attitude will see you through all the times. Come on now just look at that challenge you are faced with right now and say “This Is good”

Bigger, better Leaderex 2016!
A bigger and better Leaderex opens its doors to the public on August 24 2016 – a day for executives, professionals and entrepreneurs to network, challenge conventional thinking, and learn from the country’s top CEOs and thought leaders, writes Cara Bouwer. Building on a successful debut in 2015, this year the organisers, Leader.co.za, in association with the JSE and leading think tanks, have stitched together 50 events that focus on key priority areas for South Africa, including entrepreneurship, innovation, economic growth, investing and, of course, leadership.
Over 100 respected thought leaders and entrepreneurs will share practical insights and advice on the day, representing one of the largest collaborations of its kind in the country – and the top networking platform for professionals. Leaderex 2016 has built on this hunger for
knowledge transfer and is again offering this hugely successful initiative. For the entrepreneur, funding, mentorship and enterprise development are core themes, tying in with topics such as self-leadership, the role of civil society, socially oriented businesses and an overarching drive to get South Africans to take collective ownership of their future. These themes run throughout the Leaderex platform, hardly surprising when you consider the strength and vibrancy of South Africa’s worldclass business education sector, and the focus on skills across all sectors. Leaderex takes place on 24 August 2016 at Sandton Convention Centre. Entry is free if you register online at www.leaderex.com before 19 August.
