T
he Ratanda Primary School has been awarded with various prizes from the Department and the Tiger Brands Foundation, including the installation of an industrial grade kitchen. The official hand-over ceremony took place on Thursday (April 4), with Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga, Lesedi Municipality Mayor Lerato Maloka and Sheila Sisulu of the Tiger Brands Foundation.
The qualities that have made Ratanda Primary School a winning school are its successful adherence to the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) guidelines, innovation in
implementing the Programme, and its promotion of nutrition education. The school won the prize in March last year. Lerole Primary School from the Free State Province was in second position with Sijabule Primary School from the Mpumalanga Province in third position. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has, since 2010 through the NSNP Awards, recognised schools, Districts and food handlers who have shown excellence in delivering on the mandate of the NSNP. The DBE expressed it’s gratitude to all partners who continue to add to the efforts to extend the reach and service levels of the Programme. Tiger Brands Foundation is sponsoring several of the prizes
that were awarded, including the provision of an in-school breakfast programme to the winning school. The NSNP Best School and District Awards are but one of the ways in which the Department acknowledges and encourages schools and Districts to showcase excellence and share best practice.

Muso o i k emi s el i t se ho News pholosaNōkaeaVaal! New tractors for emerging farmers!
On Thursday (April 11) Gauteng MEC for Economic Development, Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development, Lebogang Maile launched the Agriculture Commercialization Programme at Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve by handing over 50 tractors and relevant implements to small holder farmers. The Commercialization Programme aims to support and empower smallholder farmers to become commercial farmers who will contribute meaningfully to food security, poverty alleviation, job creation and most importantly economic growth. Farmers who qualified for the tractors were selected through a rigorous process which included amongst others that: • A farmer must be farming on 100 hectors and above. • A farmer should already be having market access. • A smallholder farmer in production. In his speech at the launch
of the Commercialization Programme, MEC Maile said that the launch is a demonstration of the Gauteng Provincial Government’s commitment to support and grow farmers to become commercial farmers. “Farmers must use the tractors for the purpose outlined and for the Gauteng government to achieve its objectives of the transformation, modernisation and re-industrialization programme.” MEC Maile. Farmers are the drivers of agricultural production. However, the viability of smallholder agricultural activities are often constrained by poor technical skills, high input costs, limited financial resources and limited access to effective equipment and technologies, resulting in the application of less effective farming techniques and poorer production outputs. According to Maile, Government still sees the neeed to support farmers to improve the productivity and viability of their agricultural activities.

EMPD appoints four Directors at Its Operations Division!
The long overdue directorship posts at Ekurhuleni Metro Police (EMPD) Operations Division were eventually filled at the beginning of April when four Chief Superintendents were promoted. The delay in filling the posts which lasted several years were due to the rationalization of the EMPD structure which displayed specific anomalies requiring modifications. The four directors appointed have among themselves operational experience spanning ninety-one (91) years and had been acting in the positions for some time. Their ap2 |
pointments are with effect from 01 April 2019. “We are earnestly elated that finally the directors with such rich experience are occupying these crucial positions and that their experience will stand them in good stead in their responsibilities to contribute in making the organization to function efficiently and effectively. We believe that in the process of discharging their managerial duties they will transfer the skills they have acquired over the years to officers of not so long a standing in the department,” the Chief of Police Isaac Jabulani Mapiyeye said.

Sasol, Govt open coal mine in Dipaleseng! Chris Hani honoured!
The 26th anniversary of the late Thembisile ‘Chris’ Hani was once again hosted by the City of Ekurhuleni on Wednesday (April 10). The commemorations started with the Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Thomas Nkobi Memorial Park in Elspark, south of Ekurhuleni. This is where political leaders joined the community in remembering the late South African Communist Party (SACP) leader, who was assassinated on 10 April 1993 outside his home in Dawn Park, Boksburg. To pay tribute to him for his selfless contribution to the liberation of the oppressed masses, the city will roll out a programme to champion the ideals for which he stood. The city conferred the Freedom of the City to Chris Hani posthumously in November 2006 and declared April, the month in which he died, the Chris Hani Month. In March 2017, the Chris Hani’s grave, Chris Hani Memorial and Walk of Remembrance were declared National Heritage sites by
the South African National Heritage Agency. The City’s executive mayor, Mzwandile Masina joined the Hani family and other political leaders in laying fresh flowers at the gravestone of the late Hani. Some of the politicians included the African National Congress Secretary General Ace Magashule, Gauteng SACP Secretary Jacob Mamabolo (as acting Premier) plus leaders from national government, SACP, SANCO, COSATU and the MKVA laid wreaths on the grave of Hani. Mayor Masina and the Council Chief Whip Jongizizwe Dhlabathi joined the leaders in delivering messages of support to the family of Chris Hani. Thembisile “Chris” Hani (born 28 June) 1942) was renowned for his fearlessness and impeccable leadership qualities, led the anti-apartheid struggle until his death. He was a leader of the military wing of the ANC, uMkhonto WeSizwe and the South African Communist Party (SACP).

On Friday (April 12), Sasol has officially opened yet another colliery in its host province of Mpumalanga, where it beneficiates coal into high value fuel and chemical products at world scale. Meaning 'success' in Nguni, Impumelelo is one of three world-class mines Sasol has constructed in the last decade as part of its R14 billion mine replacement programme and includes Thubelisha and Shondoni. The inauguration was attended by Minerals Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe. With an investment of R5, 6 billion, Impumelelo will have the capacity to produce 10, 5 million tons per annum. The colliery currently employs 1760 people, most of them from nearby communities in Mpumalanga. "In addition to sustaining some 4000 jobs, the new mines are critical to securing coal supply to Sasol Secunda Synfuels Operations up to at least 2050," said Sasol Joint President and CEO Bongani Nqwababa. A unique feature of the mines is the investment in technologically-advanced measures that Sasol has made to ensure the safety of its employees as well as the environment. "These include Proximity Detection Systems on our production electrical trackless machines, which warn and eventually stop the machine from operating when a person is too close," said Nqwababa. Another technology measure that the mines have
is an electronic trigger LED flickering light system to enhance the underground safety precautions. This system visually draws miners' attention when there is movement in the roof. Other investments are in a variety of noise reduction technologies. Sasol's mining business, which falls under its upstream portfolio, is the third largest producer of coal in South Africa with an output of some 40 million tons per annum. The Coal business contributes 13% to Sasol's earnings and is integral to the global integrated chemicals and Energy Company's longterm sustainability. Dipaleseng Muncipality’s executive Mayor, Cllr Mafunda Makhubu, thanked the Sasol and the Mineral Resources department for opening the mine in the area. The mine is opened outside the Balfour area. Over 7,500 employees are working at the Synthetic fuel giant in South Africa and around the world. The mine will be contributing to the company’s demand for coal in its production. The R14 Billion mine replacement programme by Sasol also includes the Thubelisha and Shodoni mines (both in Mpumalanga). Sasol is also a member of the Presidential Youth Employment Service (YES) programme, employing young people. A further 250 young people will be added to the prgramme by July this year.

We also have physiotherapists from Heidelberg Hospital that we work with, so they come and help us. The Altegang Stimulation Centre began on 2013 but started operating the following year. The name is a Sesotho term meaning 'Success.' Stimulation centres usually provide support to children living with multiple disabilities, assisting parents and guardians in taking care of their little ones. " We thank our Nigerian brothers so much, at least some people are able to support the little good that we do in this place," said principal Julia Molema. The items that we donated include groceries, toiletries, toys and some funds for the teachers to continue doing their work in caring for the kids.

Masandawana fight to reach semis! It was action packed evening in Alexandria (Egypt), a solid performance from the Brazilians means that they now move onto the semifinals! Despite losing 1-0 against Al Ahly on Saturday evening, the 5-0 victory at the Lucas Moripe Stadium a week earlier had all but guaranteed the South African side a place in the last four, though there was still work to be done. Onyango proved once again why he is Africa’s undisputed No.1 as he pulled off some breath-taking saves to deny a determined Al Ahly. The home side started the game with incredible intensity knowing that they had to put more than five goals past Onyango to have any chance of overturning the first leg heavy result of the quarter-final fixture in Atteridgeville. Al Ahly, the eight-times champions were eliminated on a 5-1 aggregate score, setting up Sundowns with a semi-final fixture
against Wydad, who finished above the Brazilians in Group A of the competition last month. The first leg will be played away in Morocco, with Downs having the advantage of hosting the second next early month.
