MZANSI CELEBRATES Matric exams end on good note! TWO DECADES OF THE CONSTITUTION!
Did you know that 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the South African Constitution?
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. No other law or government action can supersede the provisions of the Constitution of any democratic country. South Africa’s Constitution is one of the most progressive in the world and enjoys high acclaim worldwide. Our Constitution sets out how all the elements of government are organised and contains rules about what power is wielded, who wields it and over whom it is wielded in the governing of a country. On Saturday, December 10, The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DOJ&CD) will lead South Africans in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Constitution in Sedibeng.
THE STORY OF THE CONSTITUTION!
The Constitution was signed into law by former President Nelson Mandela in Sharpeville on 10 December 1996 and came into operation on 4 February 1997. The signing of the Constitution in Sharpville was a commemorative gesture in remembrance of the people who died during a peaceful demonstration against the vicious
pass laws on 21 March1960.
As the late President Mandela described it, the signing of the Constitution in Sharpville marked the closure of a chapter of exclusion and a reaffirmation of our determination to build a society of which all of us can be proud. The drafting of the Constitution culminated from protracted deliberations and negotiations between various political parties and interest groups in South Africa. It was subjected to pensive scrutiny by the Constitutional Court, which was established in terms of the 1993 interim Constitution. The signed Constitution came into operation on 4 February 1997 and has since then drastically transformed the legal, political, social and economic landscape of the country. A Constitution is a body of fundamental principles according to which a State is to be governed. In South Africa, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and all other pieces of legislation must align with its provisions. It provides the legal foundation for the existence of the Republic, sets out the rights, rights and duties of its citizens, and defines the structure of the government, among others.

Posing and having fun in the rainy weather, Ratanda matriculants know where the party is at - Flamboyant SA headquarters. It's Pens Down as their final exam has been done and dusted.
Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi has thanked all officials, learners and parents for a successful 2016 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination process. Wednesday, November 29 marked the last day of the NSC examinations. The marking of the exam papers stated on November11 and will end on December 15. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will release the results on 4 January 2017, while the Gauteng Provincial Government will release the results on 5 January. Meanwhile, MEC Lesufi also reminded
parents that the online registration system is now closed. MEC Lesufi said parents who still have to confirm offers of placement should do so as a matter of urgency because if they don’t, they will lose those offers. “The department is now finalizing the enrolment processes and the districts will continue to assist parents with placements where space may still be available and this might not be close to where their parents work or reside. Priority is, however, given to those who applied on time,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za

Well-coordinated teamwork between the EMPD Equestrian Unit members and Rentrak (vehicle tracking company) officers resulted in a truck, stolen along R50 road in Bapsfontein, being recovered and two suspects
The vehicle tracking company smelled a rat when the truck’s signal was intermittently disrupted and the truck suddenly took a nonplanned route. On being alerted, the EMPD Equestrian Unit members jumped into action and were able to track the hijacked truck’s movements from R50 until it got onto R21 at
A six-fin jammer (a gadget used to immobilize signals) was found in the hijacked truck. The hunt is on for two vehicles with about four occupants believed to have been involved in the hijacking and suspected accomplices to the two arrested suspects. The driver of the hijacked truck was dumped in Thembisa.

Digital migration set to be completed in 2018! The Department of Communications is aiming to complete the process of migrating from analogue to digital broadcasting at the end of 2018, says Communications Minister Faith Muthambi.
“To prove that we are moving with speed to [make] the project a reality, in October 2016, we initiated the registration process of government subsided set-top boxes (STBs) in the SKA [Square Kilometre Array] area and this made residents of Keimoes and Kai Garib in the Northern Cape the first people in South Africa to experience digital migration in December 2015.

HIJACKED TRUCK WITH STOCK WORTH R700 000 RECOVERED WITH CARGO INTACT - TWO ARRESTED!
Two men aged 31 and 38, were charged with possession of a hijacked truck at Lyttleton police station while the driver was assisted with laying a charge of hijacking at Welbekend police station, after police recovered a hijacked truck with stock valued at thousands of Rands.

“Last week, we officially turned off the analogue television transmission, whereby over 3 700 households in the town of Carnavon, Vanwyksvlei, Brandvlei, Vosburg and Williston were successfully migrated to the much awaited digital platform. “We are now eyeing to complete the digital migration project in the country by the end of December 2018,” Minister Muthambi said. The SKA area and other border-lying areas were prioritised for STB registration and installation to prevent signal interruption from neighbouring countries as the world migrates to digital broadcasting. The rollout of STBs, however, will take place across the country. STBs convert digital signals so
they can be viewed on ordinary TV sets.
“Our role as government is to guarantee that this transition process runs smoothly and is fair. We are coming to your town and please be patient,” the Minister said. Registrations for government subsidised STBs are now underway in the Free State, Mpumalanga and Limpopo. Registrations for STBs will open in the North West, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape and Gauteng at a later stage. Poor households are urged to register for free STBs at their local post office. Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) acting Director General, Donald Liphoko, has described digital migration as a people centred project. “As the reception of digital TV requires viewers to connect a set-top box to an existing analogue television set or to acquire a digital TV receiver, as government, we will be distributing more than four million STBs to the poorest of the poor. “Digital transmission results in improved reception quality and since it uses radio frequency spectrum more efficiently, it allows more programme channels in the same frequency bands,” Liphoko said.

TEMBISA’S RECYCLING FACILITY OPEN!
READY TO WORK: MMC Ndosi Shongwe hands over the keys of the mini truck to chairperson of the Masupatsela Cooperative Salphy Nkoane, alongside sponsors Europen Union's Barth Van Uythem. Some people see rubble as mere rubbish, but Salphy Nkoane of Tembisa views an opportunity of earning a living and saving the environment at the same time. Now she works safely and efficiently in cleaning up alongside other local recyclers. Nkoane is the chairperson of the Matshupatsela Cooperative, a recycling entity which she started with members. The cooperative has since grown to 18 members most of whom are women. There was joy and ululation from the
Tembisa cooperatives as the City of Ekurhuleni, with its partners the European Union handed over the Sethokga Waste Minimising Facilitation on Friday, November 25. The facility has an office, a recycling warehouse, light midi trucks, trolleys, bailing machines, manual forklifts for use by the three cooperatives – all costing the City and its partners about R17 million. Through recycling, gas emissions are reduced and greens jobs are being created.
Member of Mayoral Committee for Environmental Management Cllr Ndosi Shongwe officially opened the recycling facility, during his speech, she pleaded with the cooperatives and residents of Tembisa not to vandalise the property. “As a Metro we are about creating jobs and opportunities and with this facility we are supporting the initiative by members of this community (Tembisa). Take care of this facility, protect it as it provides opportunities for some of you,’ she said.
NEW CITY MANAGER FOR EKURHULENI!
The City of Ekurhuleni has appointed Dr Imogen Mashazi as the new city manager. Dr Mashazi, an Ekurhuleni resident, was appointed by the Council at the November council sitting held in Germiston yesterday. She takes over from Khaya Ngema who left the position in August.
Executive Mayor of Ekurhuleni Cllr Mzwandile Masina congratulated Dr Mashazi and wished her well in her new appointment. “I have no doubt in Dr Mshazi’s capabilities. This is a woman who has been in local government for
3
20 years and that speaks for itself. She has come through the ranks from being an operational staff member to being the chief operations officer - therefore she understands local government very well. “She understands the systems, policies and most of all the processes of ensuring that we deliver quality, sustainable and predictable services to our people,” Masina said. Prior to her recent appointment, Dr Mashazi was the city’s Acting City Manager – a position she acted in for three months. Dr Mashazi has been appointed the city manager for five years.

Sanitary towel policy may boost women’s economic independence amandla.mobi welcomes Minister of Women, Children and Disabled People in the Presidency's announcement on 22 November 2016 that the Department is working on a policy for sanitary towels. Minister Suzan Tshabangu advised the policy should be ready in 2017. This came during a joint sitting of the National Assembly (NA) and the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) to debate 16 Days of Activism for no violence against women and children. When women and girls lack money to buy sanitary towels, they may miss work or school and end up financially reliant on men. This could lead them to staying in violent relationships they’d otherwise leave. “This is a huge step in ensuring that the dignity and health of girls and women is prioritised. We welcome this announcement and hope to be provided with more specific time frames to ensure that implementation phase is reached as swiftly as possible,” says aman-
dla.mobi Executive Director, Koketso Moeti. The announcement comes over five years after President Jacob Zuma said in his annual State of the Nation Address that free sanitary pads would be provided for those in low-income communities. It also comes over a year since amandla.mobi and Live VIP began calling for the provision thereof. “Over 4, 900 people supported the campaign, upon whose shoulders we stood every time a presentation was to be made to the portfolio committee who postponed many times - raising questions about the lack of political will,” added Moeti. It is noted that this comes just before the beginning of the 16 days of activism, which would have been a farce to commemorate for as long as this was unaddressed. “The amandla.mobi community will continue to collectively challenge the many barriers faced by Black women and children and this announcement is vindication that it is possible,” says Moeti.

Deputy President Ramaphosa warned that unless the country acts now to reduce new infections, gains made in the struggle against Aids will be eroded. “Unless we act now to reduce new HIV infections, the health and lives of millions more South Africans will be put at risk. Unless we act now to reduce new HIV infections, millions more will be vulnerable to tuberculosis. Unless we act now to reduce new HIV infections, we will struggle to sustain our antiretroviral treatment programme,” he said. If South Africa doesn’t work to reduce the infection rate, many young lives will be lost, the Deputy President said. Deputy President Ramaphosa, who prior to his main address received a Memorandum of Understanding from the Treatment Action Campaign, said he is well aware that young women often find themselves in desperate situations. These young women need not feel alone and should seek help and support from parents, grandparents and health workers, among others.

FIGHT LIFESTYLE DISEASES THROUGH EXERCISE!
Lack of physical activity is one of the contributing factors to lifestyle diseases such as obesity and other illnesses.
It is for this reason the City of Ekurhuleni initiated a Fit for Free Aerobics Marathon programme last year – a mass athletic session involving about 33 community aerobics clubs.
PICK UP POINTS: Area Tembisa
The Ekurhuleni Fit For Free Aerobics Marathon is back on December 10 and all residents are invited to spend three hours of aerobics sessions. At its inception, the programme was only offered in the communities of Katlehong, Vosloorus, Tembisa, Daveyton, Kwa-Thema and Tsakane. Now the programme has expanded to Reiger Park, Thokoza, Palm Ridge, Zonkezizwe, Dawn Park, Spruitview, Duduza, Etwatwa, Phomolong, Germiston, Rondebult, Wattville and Dunnottar. Other new areas include Winnie Mandela, Esselen Park, Birchleigh, Tswelopele, Alra Park, Langaville, Green Valley in Buhle Park, Boksburg North, Dukathole and Villa Lisa.
