by Mapepeza Reporter The efficient delivery of essential services to citizens remains the fundamental driving force for government. To this end, Gauteng Premier David Makhura has initiated the Ntirhisano Roadshow - a programme which aims to unlock service delivery challenges such as issues of human settlements, water and sanitation and the supply of electricity in the Gauteng Province. The Ekurhuleni leg of the Ntirhisano Roadshow programe kicked-off at the beginning of August, where the Premier, Executive Mayor Cllr Mondli Gungubele and their teams visited Wattville and Etwatwa to identity areas that need urgent provincial government intervention. The second installment, which took place last week, included the official renaming the former Natalspruit Hospital in Vosloorus to Thelle Mogoerane Hospital.

of the country. “A country that does not respect its past does not have a future. The naming of Thelle Mogoerane hospital is an indication that we are a government that acknowledges the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for our freedom” said the Makhura at the renaming ceremony on Thursday (August 20th). Mogoerane’s elderly mother Christine expressed her joy after all the years of feeling grief and unhappiness, thinking that her son had lost his life in vain. Thelle died at the tender age of 24. The delegation visited Kwesine Hostel and Palm Ridge Extension 9 on Wednesday, and held a community and stakeholder engagement meeting at the Thokoza Indoor Sports Hall on Thursday. Member of Mayoral Committee for Human Settlements, Cllr Aubrey Nxumalo, noted that issues raised by hostel residents such as depleted building infrastructure, as well as storm water and drainage systems problems.

Doing business with govt to be made easier Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene will soon launch the Central Supplier Database (CSD) which will simplify the process of doing business with government.
The Minister announced the development and future use of the CSD in the budget speech earlier this year. “The Central Supplier Database (CSD) will be the source of all supplier information for all organs of state. The CSD will reduce the exchange of compliance documents in paper form, eliminate multiple registrations with different organs of state, and ultimately reduce the cost for both business and government by enabling electronic registration and verification processes,” said National Treasury in
a statement on Wednesday. The CSD will interface with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to verify tax clearance certificates and the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) for business registration and business ownership information. It will also verify supplier information with the register for tender defaulters and database of restricted suppliers. From 1 September 2015, prospective suppliers should self-register on the CSD website www.csd.gov. za
Apart from registering and capturing supplier information on the CSD, suppliers currently on any database of organs of state need to maintain their re-
cords through the existing supplier systems for the period 1 September 2015 to 31 March 2016.
The period from 1 September 2015 to 31 March 2016, will be referred to as the Interim Period. During the interim period, suppliers that register on the CSD must provide their CSD supplier number and unique security code that will communicated to them, as well as any other relevant documentation (not yet electronically verified by the CSD) to the organs of state that they want to do business with.
WHAT’S YOUR STORY? WRITE TO US. GOT A STORY TO TELL THE PEOPLE? DO YOU WANT TO SHOW US YOUR TALENTS? NEED SOME PUBLICITY?
The launch will take place in East London, Eastern Cape, at the Industrial Development Zone (IDZ – Business Centre), on September 1st. SAnews.gov.za

It is also reported that the complainant was on her way to work from Ratanda’s Extension 3 going to extension 4 at the Ratanda Development Centre where she works, while walking on an open field near Elma petrol filling station she came across two males whom one of them asked her where she was going and she responded by saying she was going to work where she works as a facilitator for boiler making. He is welcome to come and register also to come view the place. On her surprise the suspect was not interested in all that. The suspect was interested in robbing the complainant that’s when the suspect asked the complainant what was inside the bag and
wanted to see. The complainant refused and the suspect took out a knife threatened to stab the complainant. The suspect took the complainants hand bag with cellphone and cash inside to the value of R1000. The suspect was arrested on the same day and was never given bail. Investigation by detective sergeant December Mateki and assistance from community members led Sphamandla Shezi to appear before Heidelberg Regional Court on Monday, July 27 for trial where he was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. The sentence is without an option of a fine. He was also declared unfit to possess a firearm for the rest his life.

“We know that the living conditions in the hostel are not desirable and measures are underway to correct this. The municipality has planned a budget for demolition and building of a new the hostel that will be done in phases from the 2016/2017 financial year. Residents will be notified timeously and provision for temporary accommodation will be made available,” said Nxumalo. While the planning phases of the construction of the new hostel are underway Ekurhuleni’s Water and Sanitation officials will revisit the hostel to fix the identified leaking water pipes and taps. In closing the meeting in Thokoza, Makhura highlighted that South Africa is a government by the people and for the people, therefore residents should speak out and inform the municipality of issues that need to be corrected to help move the country and its people forward. Those who did not get the opportunity to attend any of the public meetings can still bring their concerns to the attention of the Ntirhisano panel by texting the word “IMBIZO” to 37190. Their matters will then be logged in the Ekurhuleni EMIS system (service delivery monitoring system) for further intervention.

Mpumalanga. “The suspect is alleged to have conspired with his business partner who is also a suspect, to obtain the duplicates,” RTMC.
“The vehicles owned by the suspect were stopped by the Road Traffic Management Corporation’s (RTMC) anti-corruption unit and upon inspection, identified that the vehicles were deregistered, one unlicensed, and the other tampered with,” RTMC said.
RTMC CEO Makhosini Msibi said unroadworthy vehicles are one of the key issues that contribute towards accidents on the roads. “The RTMC warns heavy vehicle operators that it will not tolerate unscrupulous conduct as it leads to avoidable deaths on the roads," RTMC CEO Makhosini Msibi said. – SA.news.gov.za
