We have received the baton from our predecessors who for the past 16 years have worked hard to bring us this far. Gratitude goes to former mayors Bavumile Vilakazi (posthumously), Duma Nkosi, Ntombi Mekgwe and Mondli Gungubele for ensuring that we receive a sound and progressive metro.

Municipal Ward Committees: What you need to know
With most councils having been constituted following the 2016 Local Government Elections, the focus now shifts to another important aspect of the local government system in South Africa - the formation of ward committees.
According to legislation, the first meeting of the newly elected council must take place within 14 days after the election results are gazetted.
Why are ward committees important?
Ward committees are crucial in the local government system as they are the link between the councillor and the community. The ward committee system is also said to play a critical role in giving meaning to the notion of “the people shall govern”. This is so because local government is regarded as the level of government closest to the people and ward committees are just one way to ensure that citizens give input to the decisions that local councils make. The South African Local Government Association (SALGA), which is the sole representative of all municipalities, says ward committees are also important in fostering relations between ward councillors and key stakeholders at ward level, such as traditional councils and community development workers.
Terms of office for ward committees
The terms of office of ward committees are aligned to that of municipal councils and the municipality must, as soon as possible after the results of the elections have been declared, arrange ward meetings in order for the interest groups in the
ward to be identified and subsequently for the ward committees to be elected, according to the system applicable in each respective municipality.
Election of ward committees
Salga has developed a Code of Conduct for ward committee members, which are available at all municipalities. However, municipal councils must make the rules regarding the election of ward committee members, including how often meetings take place and the dissolution of ward committees. The Speaker shall call a meeting in the ward for the election of a ward committee. Nominations shall be open for 10 but not more than 15 nominees. Closure of nominations may be proposed when there are 10 nominations and, if carried, there shall be no voting if nominations exceed 10, then voting shall take place. The ward councillor and Community Participation and Action Support Unit must ensure that meetings are a fair representation of all recognised sectors identified by the municipality and a quorum of at least 100 qualifying community members are present to vote. An attendance register must also completed.
What are the functions of ward committees?
According to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, a ward committee may make recommendations on any matter affecting its ward to the ward councillor, or through the ward councillor to the municipal council, the executive committee or support committee.
The ward committee will be regarded as the official structure recognised by the municipal council as its consultative body and communication channel on matters affecting the ward, including, but not limited to: • representing the community on the compilation and implementation of the Integrated Development Plan; • ensuring constructive and harmonious interaction between the municipality and the community; • attending to all matters that affect and benefit the community; • acting in the best interest of the community, and • ensuring active participation of the community in the municipality’s budgetary process.
Ward committees: FAST FACTS
Ward committees may also be set up in municipalities where the ward committee model is being used. The purpose of a ward committee is: 1. to get better participation from the community to inform council decisions 2. to make sure that there is more effective communication between the council and the community 3. to assist the ward councillor with consultation and report-backs to the community. Ward committees should be elected by the community they serve. A ward committee may not have more than 10 members and women should be well represented. The ward councillor also serves on the ward committee and should act as the chairperson. Ward committees have no formal powers but can advise the ward councillor or make submissions directly to council. It should also participate in drawing up the integrated development plan (IDP) and budget of the area.

ALL EFF COUNCILLORS
PAY BACK THE MONEY!
The leadership of the EFF has called for their municipal councillors to help in getting the party out of debt.
The Economic Freedom Fighters’ 761 councillors will forfeit 50% of their salaries for the first three months on the job to help the party service its election campaign debt. They have also been called upon to buy vans and not sedans to use for the party’s campaign for the national elections in 2019, as well as for servicing their constituencies. In a text from the party’s secretary general, Godrich Gardee, the party outlined conditions for councillors, including: • Each councillor shall forfeit 50% of his salary to the organisation to pay off election costs (for three months) and thereafter a 10% levy of gross salary; and • No one is permitted to owe the organisation this 10% levy, and provincial secretaries
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM ETU
should ensure all councillors pay without fail. The party is said to have incurred serious debt during its election campaign. The party had to source funds for election material all the way down to ward level because candidates and branches had no capacity to do so. Based on the current salary scale of the lowest paid councillor – about R16 000 – the party would, in the three-month period, recover at least R24 million. An EFF insider said the party took out a loan worth millions with Standard Bank to sustain its campaign. “Some were even willing to forfeit their salary for a whole year, but we decided that half the salary was a better option,”

I've been tamed yet again, When she gave me her numbers I felt my world rebuilding from its foundation, she's expecting a call or maybe a text from me before she sleeps, maybe I could be her sweet dream tonight, I may have touched the bottom of her heart, the soft part of her heartbeat, like a muse with no speed, I've uttered white lilies in words which have found a place in her to nourish and grow. Its silly how time flies, it's almost supper then prayer before I take a nap, I believe its time I wrote something for this miss, a sweet message to be her lullaby, just something short from my heart to her phone screen.
On Wednesday, August 24, the local Christ Embassy Church members held a motivational speaking session with the matriculants of Kgoro ya Thuto Secondary school in Ratanda.

Beki Nhlapo of Christ Embassy, Mrs. Phumzile Makhubela of The Place lounge and Eatery.
Heidelberg Mall Shoe Collection Drive doubles the love!
Hey Princess, I still appear goose bumps when I call you that, somehow I blush alone, I end up making giggling sound when you on my mind, Da Poet here, I wanted to call and hear that voice again before I sleep, suddenly something said no do not call, send her a text rather, I mean she might be with her mother, you don't want to cross that line with her father So I poured my heart lyrically and believing that you'll read it before you sleep, You've touch my heart at large, You've built a bridge that combined our hearts, I'll never promise you heaven and earth nor sun or moon, I'll give you my time and heart, as for love I'll be at best, your love seems to complete me, I would appreciate it if we could start a new chapter of this fiction. Romeo and Juliet closed their chapter ours has just began, we the new era of love, not their rebirth or re sketched, we are what they dreamt of being, we are the living dream they had. I just wanted to say good night, yet am still pouring what my heart and mind agrees on, for the first time in my life this two organs wanting the same thing, can I please take care of your heart To be continued......

On August 23, Heidelberg Mall doubled the love and donated 421 pairs of shoes to Indawo Yosizo as well as shoes, blankets and sanitary items to nine girls at Shalom Orphanage. The mall’s initiative started as a meaningful drive to collect shoes, of any style, colour or size to assist those most in need after the owners of Heidelberg Mall asked residents how the mall’s social initiatives could best help them. The Shoe Collection Drive made its first stop at Indawo Yosizo, a nonprofit organisation offering a range of
social work services to the community of Heidelberg. Since opening in 2007, the centre continues to provide HIV/AIDS counselling, various empowerment programmes, and a feeding scheme to help support 700 people and 250 children from Ratanda and other vulnerable communities in Heidelberg. After being informed that a helping hand was needed, Heidelberg Mall also donated 12 pairs of shoes, 20 small blankets and 30 packets of sanitary pads at Shalom Orphanage. For over 15 years the home has opened its doors to 600 children and currently offers a safe haven for 72
children who rely on the centre for food, shelter and clothing. Chris Bendall, Heidelberg Mall General Manager says he is grateful for the opportunity to help support local organisations who do wonderful work in making a positive difference in people’s lives. “The ongoing support from shoppers and the Heidelberg community continues to inspire us to lend our help where it’s needed most,” he said. To add your support, simply drop off a pair of shoes at the Heidelberg Mall Centre Management Offices.
