Zuma suspends Cele and fires ministers Ron Sibiya President Jacob Zuma has proven his commitment to fight corruption in government when he fired two cabinet ministers and suspended the police commissioner. President Zuma showed both Minister of Co-operative Governance, Sicelo Shiceka and Public Works Minister, Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, the door. He further suspended the National Police Commissioner, General Bheki Cele. Public Protector, Thuli Mandonsela, accused Shiceka of wasting taxpayers’ money on overseas travel and hotel accommodation and lying about it when called to account. Mahlangu-Nkabinde was implicated in the dodgy R1,78-billion police headquarters leasing deal, which Mandonsela described as unlawful. In the special media briefing held at the Union Buildings on Monday, Zuma an-

nounced that the Minister of Public Service and Administration, Richard Baloyi, has been appointed Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. Deputy Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform, Thembelani Thulas Nxesi, was appointed the new Minister of Public Works and the department will no longer have a deputy minister. Zuma decided to suspend the National Police Commissioner from duty with immediate effect, pending the outcome of an enquiry. During the period of suspension, Cele is entitled to his full salary, allowances, privileges and benefits. Major General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi will act as National Police Commissioner. The cabinet reshuffling has further seen Deputy Minister for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, Dina Pule, appointed Minister of Communications and ANC Member of Parliament, Thembisa Stella Ndabeni has been appointed the Deputy Minister of Communications. The Minister of Communications, Roy Padayachie, has taken over the Public Service and Administration portfolio and Deputy Minister of Communications, Obed Bapela, was appointed Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation. The Deputy Minister of Public Works, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu, is now the Deputy Minister for Women, Children and Persons with Disability. Chairperson of the portfolio committee on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Lechesa Tsenoli, has been appointed as Deputy Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform. “I have also appointed a commission to investigate the arms deal. The esteemed members include Justice Willie Seriti, Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Justice Willem van der Merwe, Deputy Judge President of the North Gauteng High Court and Justice Francis Legodi, Judge of the North Gauteng High Court,” said Zuma He added that Justice Seriti would chair the commission, which is expected to complete its work within two years. Most of the opposition parties have welcomed Zuma’s cabinet reshuffling but also criticised him for taking too long before acting against corruption.

Church sets up new record with blanket Suzette van Huyssteen
The Guinness World of Records has given the giant blanket knitted and sewn together by the women of the Hatfield Christian Church in Pretoria, the thumbs up. The blanket was officially given world record status last week. In an e-mail the Guinness World of Records’ management team confirmed that the Ladies Ministry of Hatfield Christian Church had successfully set the new Guinness World Records’ title for the largest hand knitted blanket, non-crochet. Project leader and Ladies’ Ministry head, Ingrid Trusler, said there was great excitement when the announcement was made last Sunday at the church service. “Hundreds of women contributed time and effort to this project and it was only through team effort that we achieved our record,” Trusler said.

In June, the big blanket was divided into 361 individual blankets that were handed out to vulnerable communities in three areas of Pretoria. The blanket was 557,34sqm in size and weighed over 332kg. 3 610 balls of yarn were knitted into 12 635 squares. It took an estimated 45 000 hours of knitting, the equivalent of five years and 37 days, if one person knitted for 24-hours per day. Each blanket has John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life knitted on it. “The people who knitted prayed while they knitted and we believe that each blanket is blessed and will touch lives,” Trusler said.

The ANC Youth League’s (ANCYL) will march to the Union Buildings today after their original request for a night vigil was denied. During a meeting to discuss the march proceedings between the ANCYL, the Tshwane metro police, the police, the metro’s Emergency Services and the Presidency on Tuesday, it was decided that a memorandum will only be accepted today, thus making any gathering at the Union Buildings on Thursday night unlawful under the Gatherings Act of 1993. In terms of the act, an organised march may only be granted if a representative is available to accept a memorandum from complainants. The Presidency indicated that no representative will be sent and thus
the permission for the night gathering was dismissed. The march for Friday was, however, approved by the metro police and will therefore continue as planned today, culminating in the handing over of a memorandum, demanding free education, the immediate abolishment of labour brokers, jobs for the youth, better housing and sanitation for informal settlement dwellers and access to water. According to the metro’s head of Community Safety, General Daniel Manganye, the city is ready for the march. Manganye told Rekord that traffic in the inner city will be affected but the metro police will make sure that motorists do not suffer as a result of the planned march.

Electricity saga continues Minister halts The electricity saga continues with Adriana Randall, DA spokesperson for finance, who is leading a campaign to have residents who have fallen into a dark pitfall of high electricity accounts, to find a way back into the light. “I have seen accounts where residents have been charged up to 71 days in advance. Incorporate this amount with the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) rates’ increase and you have people who cannot pay and are stranded with no water and no electricity.” She told Rekord that she views the advanced projections of
the metro on accounts as irresponsible and unfair to residents. “In some cases where meter readers are unexpectedly locked, the metro is no longer allowing residents to submit meter readings, residents do not get any service from the metro when they query their accounts and if they are unable to pay, the metro simply cuts the services. This is not effective management, it’s a hostage situation.” During a public meeting held last week to discuss the electri city account debacle, Randall admitted that the residents’ responses had been positive and she is determined to make the metro realise the seriousness of the situation. “I have received numerous accounts from residents across Pretoria. This is to show the metro that the complaints are not isolated incidences as they insist.” She further urged residents to make contact with their ward councillors to address Isak Pieterson submits his elec tricity account as part of a campaign to have electricity accounts corrected after double readings and rate increases where passed onto residents over the past three months.
their high electricity accounts. “Residents will be able to make arrangements with the metro to pay their accounts. Some simply can’t afford the full amount and we therefore urge residents to work with their ward councillors to have payment arrangements made.” Karen Meyer, DA councillor for Community Safety, said residents should consider prepaid meters as an alternative. “With prepaid electricity, residents will be able to manage their consumption, however, the only way a prepaid meter will be installed is when all accounts with the metro has been settled,” she warned. DA leader, Brandon Topham, stated that the metro had to seriously re-evaluate their customer service capabilities. He also said that in some cases the metro seemed to be willing to come to a workable solution, but that the capacity to do so was hampering their efforts. “Residents are frustrated and angry, the metro seems unfazed and simply expects residents to pay. I urge the metro to improve their consumer relations and thus their service delivery.” Rekord is still awaiting an explanation from the Tshwane Media Centre on why residents’ accounts were charged more than 31 days in advance and why residents, who’s meter boxes are padlocked, are no longer allowed to send in their own metre readings. Enquiries: Adriana Randall on 083-263-8667.
all roadworks The Minister of Transport, Sibusiso Ndebele, has called for an immediate halt to any further roadworks on Gauteng’s freeways until the toll issue has been resolved. Nedebele released a statement on October 23 saying that although the first phase of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Plan has delivered good road infrastructure, it was an expensive exercise that has drawn sharp critique from the public and that consultation is the only way forward. “All spheres of government should be part of a consultation process with all affected parties, consumers in the main. Good infrastructure is a necessity for a better future for our country, but this requirement must not leave our people even poorer,” said Ndebele. The Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) is accusing Ndebele of holding Gauteng motorists hostage after his statement to stop any further road maintenance works until the toll issue has been resolved. Howard Dembovsky, national chairman of the JPSA, said the organisation is shocked with what they describe as Ndebele’s lack of foresight. “The first phase of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Plan has not been completed yet, unless the first phase only included the N1 and R21 freeways. The N12 and N3
Tel: 012 326 6460
freeways in Johannesburg are in such a shocking demolished state of dilapidation that they constantly cause crashes and daily gridlock traffic. Calling a halt to their reinstatement as usable freeways is little short of insanity,” Dembovsky said. “There is a vast difference between calling a halt to planned tolling and calling a halt to the construction of roads, which have been demolished by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) and its contractors.” He added that the answer to implementing and maintaining roads infrastructure in South Africa lies in the coming up with workable solutions that would benefit the public and from spending money collected from existing taxation and possibly even reasonable tolling on the roads infrastructure. “Minister Ndebele said all these processes, including a consultative process initiated by the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, should be allowed to reach their logical conclusions to ensure that all parties concerned and their respective views are brought on board. The matter of tolls must be discussed and resolved. Failing this, Ndebele and Sanral are lining themselves up for legal action and possibly even criminal charges for destroying what roads were in place before the project started,” Dembovsky said.

Bernard Jacobsz se twee Indiese Ringnekpapegaaie, wat verlede Woensdag dood is.
Woede oor dooie voëls ná krieketvuurwerke Koos Venter
Dit is nie net Suid-Afrika se krieketspan wat verlede Woensdag op SuperSportpark ’n verlies gely het toe Australië hulle ’n krieketloesing gegee het nie. Bernard Jacobsz, ’n inwoner van die voorstad Doringkloof, wat reg langs die krieket stadion woon, het twee Indiese Ringnekpapegaaie verloor. Hy is daarvan oortuig dat die twee voëls gesterf het as ’n direkte gevolg van die vuurwerkvertoning wat teen ongeveer 11:30, direk na afloop van die krieketwedstryd, plaasgevind het. Jacobsz het aan Rekord gesê dat voëls net so sensitief is soos honde vir die geraas van klappers en vuurwerke. Volgens hom raak hulle verbouereerd en vlieg dan histeries in enige rigting. Hy vermoed een van sy papegaaie het sy nek gebreek deur iewers aan die kant van die hok vas te vlieg. Die ander voël is vermoedelik dood aan ’n hartaanval, wat volgens Jacobsz ook algemeen voorkom as dié voëls skielik onder stres geplaas word. Jacobsz het die Titans Krieket se bestuur per e-pos gekonfronteer oor die vuurwerke wat so laat in die aand geskiet is. Malcolm Drysdale, kommersiële be stuurder van die Titans, het in sy skriftelike

antwoord sy spyt uitgespreek oor Jacobsz se verlies, maar hy hou vol dat alles vooraf in orde was en dat die vuurwerke binne die wet en met die polisie se toestemming geskiet is. Ook kol. Neels Kleynhans, woordvoerder van die Lyttelton-polisiestasie, het bevestig dat al die nodige reëlings vooraf getref is. Kleynhans het aan Rekord gesê daar is ook vooraf kennis gegee aan al die plaaslike gemeenskappolisiëringsforums in Centurion dat daar ’n vuurwerkvertoning sou wees by die krieket. Rick Allan, woordvoerder van die DBV, het aan Rekord gesê daar was verlede week meer as een klagte oor die vuurwerke en dat ander diere ook dieselfde aand beseer is. Hy het egter benadruk dat daar ook vroeër die aand donderstorms in Centurion was en dat dit moeilik is om die vuurwerke alleen vir enige afwykende gedrag van diere of voëls te blameer. Allan het gesê hulle besef die polisie keur die skiet van vuurwerke in sommige gevalle goed. Hulle sou egter graag wou sien dat daar te alle tye vroegtydig duidelike kennisgewings deurgegee word aan inwoners van die omgewing waar die vertonings sal plaasvind.

Ditchy vind ’n tuiste Natalie Grobler Die verhaal van Aspoestertjie het ’n werklikheid geword in Pretoria. Dit kom na Ditchy, die eens verwaarloosde Afrikanishond, van ’n ashoop na ’n paleis verhuis het. Ditchy se hartseerverhaal het ’n paar maande gelede in Silverton begin toe sy in ’n onbedekte mangat gekry is. Die Silverton-brandweer en Waltloo DBV het haar uit die gat gered en sy is vir ontwatering en skok behandel. Se dertdien was sy by die DBV woonagtig en het gesukkel om ’n huis te kry totdat Johann Human Rekord deurgeblaai het. Human, die ridder op ’n wit perd van Waterkloof, het Ditchy se verhaal gelees en vir sy vrou Mara gesê dat hulle haar moet aanneem. “Ek het op die berig oor Ditchy afgekom en was verstom dat niemand haar wou aanneem nie. Dit is toe dat ons besluit het om haar een van ons eie te maak,” het hy gesê. Op 15 Oktober het Ditchy na haar nuwe huis verhuis. Volgens Human is sy nog baie besitlik en van die eerste dag af wou sy niks
weet dat die ander honde naby Human kom nie. “Sy is heelwat rustiger noudat sy reeds ’n paar dae by ons is en ons leer haar dat ons nie meer liefde gee vir die een as vir die ander een nie. Sy is jaloers op Mtsatsi (’n boerboel) en weier dat sy alleen op ons bed slaap. Hulle albei slaap saam met my en my vrou op ons bed,” het hy gesê. Die gesin van sewe bestaan uit Human en sy vrou Mara, Mtsatsi (boerboel), Zeus (’n Na-politaanse boerboel), Snowy (’n Switserse herdershond), Pustache (’n Labrador) en Ditchy (’n Afrikanis). Human het gesê dat vier van sy honde optelhonde is en dat Mtsatsi die enigste hond is wat hy gekoop het. Hy het gesê dat al sy honde ewe veel bederf word en dat daar nie een is wat bo die ander uitstaan nie. “Elkeen het sy eie bed, word gereeld gebad, kry lekkernye en baie liefde. Ons het die afgelope sewe jaar nie met vakansie gegaan nie omdat ons die honde het. As mense nie na ons toe kom vir Kersfees en Nuwejaar nie, dan vier ons dit alleen saam met ons diere,” het hy gesê.

Give the gift of denims Denims are a fashion statement in most wardrobes, but many underprivileged adults and children do not have this luxury and therefore Rekord, together with The Grove Mall, will be hosting a Denim Drive promotion during October in aid of charity. Collecting denims for charity is Rekord’s brainchild and they aim to collect more than 5 000 pieces of clothing from October to December. The Grove Mall, who proudly associates themselves with an array of community projects, grasped the opportunity to host the Denim Drive promotion in conjunction with the newspaper. Schools in the area have been contacted to participate and to open their hearts and wardrobes by dona ting denim clothing. Tyger Valley College, one of the participating schools, is very excited about the project and hopes to make a difference within the community. The Grove Mall has also partnered with the local radio station, Impact Radio. “Impact Radio and The Grove Mall have done several community projects together,
so it was natural contacting them to be a part of an important promotion such as the Denim Drive,” said Leanne Nell, marketing manager of The Grove Mall. She said they are extremely dedicated to projects such as the Denim Drive promotion and urges businesses and shoppers to open their hearts and donate any unwanted denim clothing in good condition. Residents still have an opportunity to donate their denims until October 28 at various collection bins within the mall. All denim items will be displayed within the mall on October 29 together with a Miss Charity pageant hosted by Tyger Valley College. The contestants were carefully selected and will be judged on beauty from within, displaying friendliness, caring and considerate traits, natural beauty and whether she is charity oriented and driven. Miss Charity will have to commit to initiate and involve herself further in charity drives, with a minimum of ten hours in 2012.

Stephen Selaluke
Social issues inspire up and coming artist Gavin Emmanuel He is soft-spoken and has a smile that lights up the room and once you mention the word art, Michael Selekane’s eyes start sparkling. Rekord caught up with Selekane at the Ifa Lethu offices in Groenkloof. “I love the smell of oil on canvass,” said Selekane as he ushers Rekord into a boardroom that are filled with Selekane’s artwork. Selekane was born in a tiny village in Mpumalanga in 1986 and his first encounter with art came during his primary school years. “There was an art class in primary school and I went to that class as a way of dodging other classes, because most of the time nothing was done in that class,” said Selekane. As time went on the class became operational and held an art competition, which he was selected for.
“I had a teacher who spotted the talent in me and supplied me with art materials,” added Selekane. The highlight of his career came in 2007 after completing matric. Selekane joined Tshwaraganang Art School in Mabopane. “The school exposed me to various forms of visual art and it was then that I realised I had fallen in love with the oil painting medium,” said Selekane. During the same year Selekane won the Ifa Lethu art prize, which cemented his conviction to seek advanced training in art. Social and political issues inspire most of Selekane’s paintings. Selekane exhibited at Grahamstown Art Festival and the Pretoria Art Museum this year. He will auction two of his works in London next year in March, during the London Celebrates South African Heritage moneyraising event that will be hosted by the Ifa Lethu Foundation and renowned jazz artist, Hugh Masekela.

A photography competition for local young people is looking for the next Ernest Cole. The University of Pretoria, in partnership with the Hasselblad Foundation, the Swedish Embassy in Pretoria, the American Embassy in Pretoria and supported by the Ifa Lethu Foundation, opened the Ernest Cole Photographer Exhibition on its campus in Mamelodi. Ernest Cole is a world-renowned photographer born in Eersterust and grew up in Mamelodi. Cole died in New York in America in 1990. The exhibition of this world-renowned apartheid-era photographer started on September 29 and has been well received at the Mamelodi campus of the University of Pretoria. It closes on November 30. As a tangible attempt to connect Cole’s work with the Mamelodi community, the partners in the exhibition are hosting an educational programme as well as a photography competition for local pupils.
The photography competition is a key component in the activities around this acclaimed photographer’s work and will culminate in the top three entrants receiving various prizes, not the least being a three-month internship with one of the country’s leading corporate photographers, Fanus Schoeman of Live Moments. Schoeman, who spent over 20 years as a Defence Force photographer, now owns Live Moments. “I feel strongly about passing on my experience and skills to the next generation of young, talented would-be professional photographers,” said Schoeman. “They not only need the technical aspects of the profession but also the business and marketing skills required to establish themselves as truly professional photographers in whatever specialisation they choose.” The competition is open to young people from 16 to 22 years. The American Embassy also offers digital cameras to the top three entrants. Those wishing to enter can obtain an entry form from the University of Pretoria, Mamelodi campus at the library.

Pupils show driving skills
Thirty winners were announced from 140 grade 4 to 8 finalists out of 562 schools in Pretoria for the Learner in Traffic-cycle 4Life project on October 15. The project was held at the Tshwane metro’s bus depot at the corner of Church Street and DF Malan Drive. The winners who were identified from this group each went home with a new bicycle. They were also treated on an excursion to Kwandaba Game Lodge on October 22 and 23, which is nestled next to the Rust de Winter dam as well as a tour through the Kolonnade centre. All the schools that participated in the project are from the Department of Education’s District D1, D3, D4 and D15. According to Felicia Molefe, chairperson of Learner in Traffic-cycle 4Life, more than 562 schools participated. In total 363 schools and more than 132 000 pupils from grade 4 to 8 wrote the first theory test compared to 120 000 who wrote it in 2010.
The metro police’s social crime and prevention and road safety education provided the track and evaluated the practical competition to identify 30 winners. According to Molefe, assistant director of the Road Safety project, it was decided that the 2011 Learner in Traffic-cycle 4Life competition was to use information, which emanated from the multimedia package from the Road Traffic Management Corporation, supplied to the schools. “The multimedia package was supplied to the schools to support teachers with ten theory lessons per grade. Gauteng traffic police from the Department of Community Safety team printed the 130 000 question papers,” said Molefe. The metro police, social crime prevention and road safety education provided the track to evaluate the practical competition to identify the 30 winners. Patrollers from community safety were part of the activities.

Athlete revels in his new motorised knee Suzette van Huyssteen The first ever motorised prosthetic knee in South Africa was introduced in Pretoria on October 14. Icexpress Progressive Prosthetics announced at the Innovation
Hub that two of their clients, paralympic athletes Kim Robinson and Derik Schutte, are the first in South Africa to be fitted with the Össur Power Knee. The motorised knee is a ‘smart’ prosthetic limb with the ability to recognise and memorise its user’s walking style while making real time adjustments based on changes in speed, terrain and stride. Schutte (19) an above-knee amputee, who won a bronze medal in the F42 javelin event at the International Paralympic Committee World Championships held in New Zealand, was fitted with the Power Knee technology for the first time on October 14. “After only two days, I was able to shift and share the weight that I usually put on my below-knee side, or good leg, to the above-knee side. I don’t tire as fast as I did previously,” Schutte said. Icexpress Progressive Prosthetics is seen as the market leader specialising in advanced prosthetics and bionics in South Africa. “We are honoured to be the first in South Africa to offer the Össur Power Knee as well as similar bionic technology to our clients. “Our aim is to assist prosthetic users to get back to leading normal, happy and physically active lives,” Johan Snyders, CEO of Icexpress said.

DVD recalls air raid Natashia Hudson
Edward Jardim, a Pretoria based videographer with a passion for history, has recently produced his second video documentary, Assault on Cassinga, on the controversial airborne attack that took place on May 4, 1978 at Cassinga during the Angolan Border War. This DVD is a follow-up on the documentary, Attack on Cassinga, which was also produced by Jardim and released in 2009. Jardim, who received no major funding and handled all the creative processes himself, spent most of his spare time during the last two years putting his latest war documentary together. The video documentary revolves around
the first full-scale airborne attack that the South African Defence Force carried out. The target of the air raid was a South West African People’s Organisation (Swapo) base in Cassinga, Angola. The 60-minute documentary features exclusive interviews with Lieutenant General Denis Earp (former chief of the South African Airforce 1984-1988) and Lieutenant General Jannie Geldenhuys (former chief of the South African Airforce 1986-1990). It also features exclusive interviews with helicopter pilot, Brigadier General John Church and fighter pilots, Major General MJ du Plessis and Lieutenant Colonel Dries Marais. The DVD provides a detailed account on the role that the South African Airforce played during the dramatic attack.

Editorial
COMMENT
Police are on the alert after several incidences of xenophobic violence took place last week in Laudium, Atteridgeville, Soshanguve and Alexandra. Rumours are afloat that more violence is planned for this week. This calls to mind the terrible scenes of xenophobic violence we experienced in May 2008, leaving 70 people dead. Now as a new bout of protests has reared its head, South Africans are worried about how to avoid a repeat of the horrific violence. In the dictionary the term ‘xenophobia’ is defined as a hatred or fear of foreigners. It describes xenophobia as an ‘attitude’ rather than an ‘action’ or ‘practice’. For South Africa this definition needs to be rewritten. Here xenophobia can’t be separated from violence and physical abuse. This hostility against foreigners is explained in terms of limited resources. In the post-apartheid epoch a realisation that delivery is not immediate has meant that discontent and indignation are at their peak. People are more conscious of their deprivation than ever before. This is the ideal situation for a phenomenon like xenophobia to take root and flourish and to find a scapegoat. In November we will be celebrating the National Day of Tolerance and government and the Tshwane metro must commit themselves to listen and find solutions to people’s concerns and to condemn looting and attacks on foreigners under the guise of service delivery protests.
Coming of age Paradox Pless wishes he was born in another era. This rushed modern life of the Stone Age is not for sissies. When someone said that this year, julle gaan klippe kou, they meant it literally. He knows his history well and is aware that there were eras when living was slow and easy and one could spend one’s day strolling around a beautiful garden and keep oneself busy by naming animals. How difficult can that be? How many times can one name a ‘lion’ a ‘lion’ or a ‘tiger’ a ‘tiger’? One guy tried to make it interesting by bringing some variation into it, by naming one a ‘Bengal tiger’ the other an ‘Indian tiger’ or ‘white tiger’. But his wife said he

was being racist. Even then there was trouble brewing in paradise. The wife was having an affair with a real snake of a guy who was peddling fruit and drugs and who persuaded her to try boom. But the present age was getting to him. The company he worked for, Stone Implements Inc was starting to retrench people because they could not afford to keep up with new technology. Iron implements were all the rage now and countries, like China, were starting to dump iron on their market. The new-world rulers, the Neanderthals, were trying to change the name of Pless’ city to Gondwanaland. Imagine bringing up his two hundred children without a sense of history and permanency and forever moving about like a continent adrift. Things around him were changing
Stadsrade is ten spyte van die wonderlike wet op verbruikersbeskerming, eenvoudig bo die wette verhewe en boelie die verbruiker. Hoes en betaal, maak nie saak wat reg en billik is nie. Ek sal my nie verbaas as die rade hoë rekeninge gebruik om korttermyn tekorte te finansier nie. So iets sal oneties wees. Oor die afgelope twee maande het ek verskeie belastingbetalers gehelp met buitensporige rekeninge. In 100% van die gevalle was die fout by die raad en is die foute vinnig reggestel maar toegegee, eers na betaling. As inwoners sal ons dringend moet saamstaan en iets begin doen want mense word armer en minder kan betaal.

Man averts highjacking A resident from Villieria writes: I want to thank the brave black man that risked his life to aid my daughter during a hijack attempt on October 12. My daughter, who was on her way home, stopped at the traffic light in Boom Street when a man reached through the window, brandished a knife, grabbed the ignition key and demanded her cell phone. A huge black man, presumably from the taxi behind her, came to her aid and overpowered the assailant. He said to the man ‘it is you people that give us a bad name’. He asked if my daughter was okay and if she had lost anything. She told him her car key was mis sing. He retrieved the key and handed it to her. Needless to say my daughter was upset, grateful to be alive and failed to take much notice of her rescuer or where he came from. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Compost scammers hit again Johnny Mynhardt from Annlin writes: I was a victim of this scam and feel obligated to prevent this from happening to other residents. On Saturday afternoon a white pickup with a couple of compost bags on the back stopped in front of my house. The driver said he noticed that my grass had some grey patches and asked if they could fix it up with compost and fertilizer. I asked him the price and he said it was R85 for a 50kg bag and they will do all the work. I also asked how many quickly. If you took too long to make a decision you might be in for a surprise. Like the leader of the Gondwana Youth League. He and his followers decided to claim and expropriate a piece of land, which he claimed was ancestral land. Where he got his ancestors from, nobody knows, because the present generation was only the sixth generation of people on earth. Anyway, the morning he and his followers arrived at the piece of land it was gone. It was taken away by the continental drift and was already a piece of another continent. Well, he could not sit around being depressed and longing for the good old days. He has to get up and wake his wives and kids. The kids must get ready for the Sterkfontein Primary School and wives for hunting, even if it is only for bargains.
Wat sien jy in die kruis? Ek doen verlede week personeelopleiding by ’n skool vir serebraal gestremdes. Na die tyd gee hulle vir my ’n pragtige kruis wat deur een van die leerlinge gemaak is. Wat die kruis besonders maak, is dat die lyne van die kruis gevul is met klein spieëltjies. Wanneer jy na die kruis kyk, sien jy jouself. Terwyl ek terugry huis toe dink ek aan die verhaal van die man wat na die bekende skildery van die Mona Lisa staan en kyk het en toe skielik hardop sê: “Ek kan nie dink dat mense so opgewonde oor die skildery word nie. Die kleure is dof, die agtergrond oninspirerend en om alles te kroon is dit nie eers ’n mooi vrou nie.” Waarop een van die personeel wat dit gehoor het, antwoord: “Meneer, wan-
bags would be needed and this is where the scam starts. He said that he was not sure but estimated two to five bags. We agreed and I tended to my dogs for five minutes. When I returned they were busy raking the fertilizer over the grass. He said they had emptied 28 bags on my lawn. I checked the pick-up beforehand and noticed around ten bags full of compost, they obviously had additional empty bags in the vehicle. They charged me R2 380. In the end, I only agreed to pay for ten bags, but I feel residents should be warned.

Sportscar breaks the law within 3,3 seconds one could be breaking the law within 3,3 seconds if one drives the new McLaren MP4-12c. This rear engine lightweight McLaren
Robert Mabusela With Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele’s proposed speed limit of 100km/h
promises to be the ‘first genuine no compromise sportscar’ according to McLaren brochures at the Johannesburg International Motor Show recently. The MP4-12c deserves to be called a supercar, as 200km/h is reached in 9,8 seconds or 8,9 if the car is fitted with Corsa tyres, which will play an essential role in reaching the top speed of 330km/h a bit faster. Supercar manufacturers lost unecessary weight that hinders the achievement of maximum performance. Not only did the acceleration improve, but other performance improvements include braking 100 to 0km/h in a distance of 30,5m, handling and fuel efficiency releasing only 279g/km, which just might save you from having to pay CO² emission tax. The whole weight shedding is made possible by using a carbon fibre MonoCell structure. Fuel figures stand at 11,7l per 100km, releasing only 279g/km of CO². The McLaren is powered by a 3,8l V8 engine that boasts 441kw/h, with torque outputs of 600Nm at 3 000rpm right up to 7 000rpm. The engine will be put up against German rivals Audi R8 GT, Porsche 911 Turbo PDK and Japanese Godzilla Nissan Skyline
The McLaren MP4-12c, featured at the Johannesburg International Motor Show, produces an impressive 441kW achieving 0 to 100km/h in 3,3 seconds.
GT-R, not forgetting the Godzilla killer Lexus LFA, as seen on YouTube. All rivals have between 368kW (Porsche 911 Turbo PDK) to 441kW (McLaren MP4-12c). According to specs, the McLaren is the most favourable with the fastest 0 to 100 in 3,3 seconds, that is if you are rolling on standard tyres. Overall, the McLaren was smartly built, with high mounted exhausts and every single component designed from scratch.

Proteas val vas in eerste eendagwedstryd Koos Venter
Die Duckworth-Lewis-stelsel was nog nooit regtig vriendelik met die Suid-Afrikaanse krieketspan nie en verlede week in Centurion het dié twyfelag-tige metode om onderbreekte wedstryde uit te sorteer, weer nie die gewenste uitwerking gehad nie. Suid-Afrika het die eerste eendag internasionale wedstryd teen Australië op SuperSportpark in Centurion met 93 lopies verloor, nadat die eerste somerreën Woensdagaand oor dié voorstad uitgesak het. Die wedstryd is vir byna vier ure vertraag en toe spel uiteindelik kort na agtuur eers weer moontlik was, is die wedstryd tot 29 boulbeurte aan ’n kant verkort. Nadat Australië 183 lopies vir vier paaltjies aangeteken het, moes Suid-Afrika volgens mnre Duckworth en Lewis 223 lopies in 29 beurte jaag om te wen. Hulle is egter almal uitgehaal vir slegs 129 lopies, met die Titans-speler, Faf du Plessis, wat die hoogste telling van slegs 27 kon slaan. Gelukkig het Suid-Afrika die bordjies verhang deur die afgelope naweek in Port Elizabeth in die tweede wedstryd met 80 lopies te wen. Nog ’n Titans-ster, Morné Morkel, is in Port Elizabeth as man-van-die-wedstryd aange-wys, nadat hy vier Aussies uitgehaal het in tien boulbeurte terwyl hy net 22 lopies afgestaan het.
Die veteraan kolwer van Suid-Afrika, Jacques Kallis, kon nie veel help om sy span se probleme op te los in verlede week se eendag internasionale wedstryd teen Australië in Centurion nie. Hier word Kallis deur Pat Cummins vir net 15 lopies geboul. Foto: simondp@ actionimage
Chess champ in SA Garry Kasparov, World Chess Champion for eight years and the world’s top rated player for 21 years, is coming to South Africa from Moscow in November. This special occasion is part of a joint venture with the Pretoria-based chess educational project Moves for Life (MFL). President Jacob Zuma is the patron of Moves for Life. Kasparov announced that he wishes to link his Kasparov Chess Foundation to MFL to take the successful MFL formula to other African countries. He has added that he plans to work with MFL to make Johannesburg the chess capital of Africa. Kasparov said he was greatly inspired by the words of President Zuma last October, when he spoke so movingly on the many benefits of chess for children. He said he was happy to join Zuma and
the South African Moves for Life programme in a commitment to bring chess to schools across the country and for turning Johannesburg into the continental chess capital. Kasparov will be visiting South Africa as the guest of MFL from November 12 to 15 to promote the Kasparov Chess Foundation link up with the Moves for Life programme. Mickey Scheepers, MFL operations manager, said the game of chess impacts positively on maths, science and comprehension abilities, while also imparting valuable life skills to children. In learning to play chess, children are mastering a wide range of skills such as pattern recognition, classifying information, reasoning by analogy, following principles, calculating possible sequences of events and critical thinking.

Junior Bulle in die eindstryd Hoewel die Blou Bulle se Curriebekerspan vir die eerste keer in 10 jaar nie daarin kon slaag om vir die halfeindrondte van die Curriebekerreeks te kwalifiseer nie, het die unie se twee junior spanne Vrydagaand vir ’n troosprys gesorg toe beide spanne na eerskomende Saterdag se eindwedstryde van hul ligas deurgedring het. Paul Anthony se o.19’s en Nollis Marais se o.21’s sal eerskomende Saterdag alles gee om weer die twee junior trofeë in Loftus Versfeld se effens leë vertoonkas staan te maak. Albei die Bulle se junior spanne het vanjaar heel bo aan die punteleer geëindig. Hulle sal eerskomende naweek alles in die stryd werp om die glipse van die afgelope paar seisoene reg te maak en weer die ligbloues se oorheersing van junior rugby te onderstreep. Verlede jaar het albei die spanne in hul onderskeie eindwedstryde teen die WP vasgeval, maar vanjaar is daar geen teken
van die streeptruie in die eindstryde nie. Die Bulle se o.19-span speel Saterdag teen die Leeus, terwyl die o.21’s die Sharks se juniors sal aandurf. Die o.19-span, onder leiding van die voormalige SA-skole kaptein, William Small-Smith, het die jong Cheetahs Vrydagaand maklik met 48-13 geklop. Die Bulletjies se opwindende hardloop rugby was een te veel vir die Vrystaters en hulle het uiteindelik ses drieë teen die Cheetahs se een aangeteken. In die o.21-wedstryd is die patroon herhaal, met die enigste verskil dat die teenstanders die jong Leeus was. Curriebeker-staatmakers wat steeds o.21-spelers is, soos CJ Stander, Arno Botha, Louis Fouché en Francois Venter het ’n groot verskil vir die jong Bulle gemaak. Hoewel Fouché ’n bietjie gesukkel het met sy korrelwerk na die pale, het hy steeds 17 punte met die skoen aangeteken. Stander, Botha en Venter het elk ’n drie gedruk as hul aandeel vir die helfte van die span se ses drieë.
CJ Stander, in aksie vir die Blou Bulle se Curriebekerspan, het verlede Vrydagaand ’n groot verskil gemaak met sy kookwaterspel vir die Bulle se o.21-span. Stander het sy span se laaste van sewe drieë gedruk.
Die sterk en vinnige flank, Arno Botha, het vanjaar reeds puik spel vir die Blou Bulle se Curriebekerspan gelewer. Vrydagaand in die halfeindrondte van die Absa o.21-reeks teen die Leeus was hy weer een van die uitblinkers in die jong span van die Blou Bulle wat na die eindwedstryd in dié reeks deurgedring het.
Bekende rugbyspeler sluit by Klofies aan
Koos Venter
Die oud-Springbok en Bloubulkaptein en ster losskakel, Naas Botha, is terug in rugbyafrigting met ’n langtermyn doelwit. Botha het verlede week aangekondig dat hy van volgende seisoen betrokke sal wees by rugbyafrigting by Hoërskool Water kloof. Hy sal nie ’n spesifieke span afrig nie, maar sal al die afrigters bystaan en ook veral aandag aan spelers se individuele vaardighede gee. Botha, wat vroeër by die Pretoria rugbyklub afgerig het en ook as direkteur van afrigting by die Valke bedrywig was, het gesê hy sien die geleentheid wat hy by Waterkloof kry as ’n manier om terug te kom

in die afrigtingsbedryf. Hy het erken dat hy langtermyn planne het in hierdie verband. Hoewel hy reeds op ’n hoër vlak betrokke was, het Botha gesê hy sien daarna uit om met skoolseuns te werk. “’n Mens moet iewers weer begin en waar beter as by ’n skool soos Waterkloof,” het Botha gesê. Hy het ook sy teleurstelling uitgespreek oor skinderstories dat hy skole soos Water kloof en Garsfontein teen mekaar afgespeel het ter wille van geldelike gewin. “Ek het met albei skole gepraat en die saak sonder emosie probeer opweeg. Daarna het ek ’n rugbybesluit geneem. Daar was geen sprake van ’n oorkopery nie,” was Botha se antwoord aan die stigters van die skinderstories.
