VOORSPOED: Annzuette Erasmus.

Die Alberton-polisiestasie sê totsiens vir een van hul mees geliefde kollegas, Annzuette Erasmus. Annzuette het in 1991 op Klerksdorp haar polisieloopbaan afgeskop, waarna sy in 1998 by die Alberton-polisiespan aangesluit het. Sy het in Desember laas jaar, op 41-jarige ouderdom en met 23 jaar diens op haar naam, besluit om haar uniform op te hang en ‘n nuwe werk met nuwe uitdagings aan

te pak.

Na ‘n bedrywige lewe van verdagtes vang en agter tralies sit, het Annzuette hierdie jaar met haar nuwe werk by die sekuriteitsmaatskappy Ntamo Technologies in Alberton begin.

Ntamo Technologies verskaf tegnologiese sekuriteitsprodukte, soos alarms en kameras, aan besighede in die elektriese- en spoorwegindustrie.

Annzuette is aangewys as die algemene bestuurder van die kontrolekamer.

Sy is egter baie opgewonde om vir die eerste keer in haar lewe kantoorure te hê.

“Elke dag [in die polisie] is ‘n nuwe ding; jy kan nie dagboek hou nie,” verduidelik sy. “Ek was 24/7 beskikbaar vir die gemeenskap. Ek het absoluut gelewe vir my werk.”

Annzuette het drie kinders, waarvan die jongste 15-jaar-oud is, en haar kinders het almal grootgeword met ‘n polisievrou-ma wat baie tyd saam met hulle moes opoffer om die gemeenskap op te pas. Annzuette sien uit om met haar nuwe werk meer tyd vir haar persoonlike lewe te hê, maar sy gaan nog af en toe uitgaan op patrollies oor naweke. “Dit sal altyd in my bloed wees,” sê sy ferm.

Annzuette beskryf haar polisieloopbaan as ‘n groot avontuur. Sy het al talle verdagtes gevang en gearresteer, in hofsake getuig, misdaadtonele gesien, skooldeursoekings gelei en sy was ook ‘n paar keer al betrokke by skietery. Sy beskryf met oorgawe hoe sy al alleen in die polisievoertuig verdagtes, wat met gesteelde motors probeer wegjaag het, gejaag het. Hulle het ‘n metropolisieman doodgery en ander motors van die pad af gedruk. Sy moes uiteindelik op die verdagtes skiet om die arrestasie te kon uitvoer, en sy het al drie die verdagtes self gearresteer. “Dit was seker vir my die mees opwindendste skietery waarin ek al betrokke was,” vertel sy opgewonde.

Bo alles was haar grootste dryfkrag die wete dat sy ‘n verskil in die gemeenskap maak. Sy was veral diep geraak deur gesinsgeweld en kindermishandelingsake waarby sy betrokke was in die sosiale misdaadvoorkomingsafdeling. Sy het in hierdie afdeling die Alberton polisie se traumasentrum help opbou en gedurende haar tyd daar is dit al twee keer aangewys as die beste traumasentrum in Gauteng.

Annzuette was self ook al benoem as die beste kommunikasiebeampte van die jaar in Gauteng.

Haar beste vriendin en kollega by Alberton polisie, Amanda Hattingh glo dat dit juis Annzuette se klein hartjie en haar bereidwilligheid om te help is wat haar so ‘n goeie polisievrou gemaak het. “Sy was altyd daar vir backup,” verduidelik sy.

Almal by Alberton-polisie is baie hartseer om vir Annzuette te groet, maar hulle is dankbaar vir haar groot bydrae tot gemeenskapsveiligheid in Alberton.

“Daar is niemand wat haar ‘bootse’ kan volstaan nie,” sê Amanda tussendeur haar trane.

A note from the Editor There is no doubt that we are now fully back in the swing of things. Traffic is back on the roads, kids are back in class and if you’re reading this – tame TIMES arrived at your gate.

The past two weeks have taught me a critical life lesson. Scenes of independence displayed by matric students as they were at schools to collect their statements, paralleled with the clinginess of the young ones who for the first time stepped into ‘big school’ showed me the reality of how quickly things change. As I write we are in the fourth week of 2014. My advice this week is to make each day count, before you know it another year will have gone.

A few congratulations this week, firstly to Annzuette Erasmus for her 23 years of diligent service in the Police service, fifteen of which were spent serving the community of Alberton. Secondly we congratulate the grade one class of 2014 for reaching this new stage in life, all the best. Lastly to the

top achievers of 2013, who are profiled from page 13 – 15.

Dr Daan Grobler The first company to build in this new township was CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd, and they had no easy time of it. The land is low-lying, and the Natal Spruit’s wetlands made building a misery, with every truckload of stone or sand sinking to its axels in the marshy ground.

Nevertheless, the premises were urgently required, since the South African Air Force was one of their major clients, and required repairs to their Harvard aircraft. The first steel and re-enforced concrete building went up in the record time of 20 days, and was followed almost immediately by a second and a third building.

Fuchs did not depend exclusively on the Air Force, and when the war ended in 1945, they found they had sufficient work from manufacturing agreements with Electrolux and Westinghouse not to have to scale down their production.

By 1948, Alrode was proclaimed a part of Alberton, and once again the town was on an uptrend. With the dramatic expansion the old services were becoming inadequate, and the sewerage and sanitation system needed upgrading. (Farewell to the last of the beastly buckets!) The Town Council applied to the Province for a loan of 300 000 Pounds for

this purpose, and to acquire more land for the location.

Carl Fuchs bought eight acres of land in Alrode from the Town Council at 275 Pounds per acre as soon as his Heidelberg Road operation could not handle the capacity any more.

Carl Fuchs’ Metal Craft House Factory displayed the CJ Fuchs roof and top sign and it became a landmark in Alberton.

The firm had previously been housed in Marshall Street, Johannesburg. Here they manufactured water heaters and spray pumps, all painted by Mrs Emily Fuchs and her assistant Jack, and marketed by Carl Fuchs.

Fighting a losing battle Instead of fixing the root of the problem, the workers allegedly blocked Mr Robert’s pipes with tar to stop the water from draining onto the road

Amy-Mae Campbell amymae.campbell@tametimes.co.za A resident from Sparks Close in Randhart has been battling to keep the walls of his house from collapsing. Mike Roberts has spent over R300 000 over the past 11 years in an effort to drain storm water from his property.

Mr Roberts’ house is built on clay ground and it is located on the lower end of a slope.

Unlike soil, clay does not absorb water and it moves to the lowest point of a slope. Due to this process, rainwater from the neighbours who live higher up on the slope flows to Mr Roberts’s property and floods his house. His walls have also started cracking as a result of the moving clay and it has been a nightmare for him to try to keep his house from sinking into the ground. To make matters worse, his property insurance cannot cover the expenses, as these problems existed before Mr Roberts had bought the house.

Mr Roberts has approached the neighbours and the municipality, but neither has been able to assist him with getting rid of the accumulated storm water. In a desperate attempt to save his home, Mr Roberts has installed a pump that diverts all the storm water away from his property and onto the street. The pump pumps water out every hour in moderate quantities, which helps to decrease the water level of his property.

According to Neighbour Law regarding the drainage of water in an urban environment, Mr Roberts has the right to discharge the water away from his property and onto the

adjoining street; as long as the steps are reasonable and no injury is done to the lower neighbour in the process.

The local municipality has granted Mr Roberts permission to continue with this method.

However, potholes are forming along the street where the water is being pumped out, and residents in the area are complaining about it. The municipality has sent workers to patch up the street a few times, but instead of fixing the root of the problem, the workers allegedly blocked Mr Robert’s pipes with tar to stop the water from draining onto the road.

This causes storm water to accumulate once again.

Mr Roberts has proposed that the municipality link his water outlet to the existing storm water drainage system down the road, which should solve these problems, and according to Mr Roberts it would not cost more than approximately R600 to do. But his suggestion has fallen on deaf ears.

If Mr Roberts decides to form drainage holes in his walls, he will be rid of the water, but it will merely become the next neighbour’s problem. At this point, Mr Roberts feels as though he is fighting a losing battle. Perhaps the municipality can intercept and assist all of the residents, including Mr Roberts, and allow for the simplest solution that would prevent any community member from suffering harm.

Residents seek answers and restoration:

Rand Water responds

Following the article placed in tame TIMES last week, Rand Water has given some answers regarding the questions raised by the residents of Agapanthus Street in Brackenhurst. tame TIMES received a call from Jacques Le Roux who explained that Telkom had been out to the street and had sorted out their lines.

order to ensure amicable solutions are sought.

3) All enquiries or complaints must be forwarded to Rand Water’s Customer Service Department, and together with the Communication Department all complaints will be noted, investigated and the outcome will be relayed to the parties concerned.

Rand Water’s response came in the form of the following statements: 1) When Rand Water began the project, the only wall that had collapsed was at the corner of Agapanthus and Hennie Albert Streets.

This is where the pipe jacking works were being done. As a result, the electrical fence (diamond mesh with shading for privacy) was installed as a temporary measure. Once the project (pipe jacking works) is completed, the wall will be rebuilt.

2) Rand Water has a Customer Service Department where such complaints can be logged. The company will thoroughly investigate all the claims for authenticity in

Pipes remain uncovered. See the full story at www.tametimes.co.za and comment on the story if you are experiencing similar problems.

At the time of going to print, tame TIMES was unable to get comment from the council.

Many animals still need homes Alberton SPCA had a very busy December.

While most of us were off enjoying the holiday, the dedicated staff at Lincoln Road took in over 400 animals. Thankfully some were reunited with their owners, but many are still available and looking for homes. If you are thinking of getting a pet, go take a look, remember the motto - Adopt, don’t shop.

As a plea to the community the SPCA requests that any found animal be reported to them, as many people are searching for their beloved pets and it becomes heart-breaking for them not knowing the whereabouts of their pet.

The Christmas stand at Bracken City raised over R30 000 and the Alberton SPCA would like to send a special thank you to Mr Andreas of Pick n Pay Brackenhurst for allowing them to use the space in front of his shop.

The Tree of Light had over 1000 discs on it and for the first time in many years the

SPCA had a stand at Alberton City where they raised over R12 000.

SPCA would like to thank Krystle Geach of Mustard Seed Marketing for organising the stand.

Another special thanks go to everyone who gave generously of their time to ensure the stands were open and also to all those who bought items, donated and generally supported all fundraising efforts.

The 5 cent campaign is proved successful and has to date raised over R18 000.

So if you have any spare 5 cents lying around, or other change, go drop it off at Lincoln Road cause every cent counts.

The SPCA would like to wish everyone a happy 2014 and inform of the full year of fund-raising events that will be posted on their facebook page (Alberton SPCA, Gauteng).

Stocks of the popular CD calendars are still available at R25 and can be purchased at the SPCA premises in Lincoln Road.

Dress for Less Boutique at CMR The CMR Alberton started the “Dress for Less Boutique” a few years ago with the idea of helping people in need as well as some people in our community.

This project was started with surplus clothing that we received as donations.

The clothing that we receive first and foremost go to clients of the CMR and other individuals in need. After we have sorted through the clothes and distributed what is needed, the rest goes to the Dress for Less Boutique. On a Friday afternoon from 14:00, some clients as well as several ladies from the community come to buy the clothes.

The price is affordable and enables the ladies to sell it again to others, which helps them to be independent and be able to provide for their families. It also helps

the CMR Alberton as these ladies are not on our books anymore and we can use our recourses to help others. Money that our office generates out of this project is then used to buy food for food parcels.

There is also a big need for men’s clothes and shoes (especially small sizes), children’s clothing and home ware.

We also need toy and bicycle donations, as most of the children in the affected area have none to keep them stimulated.

If you have any item in your house that you do not use or need, please donate it to CMR, 18 Lenin Street, Raceview, Alberton. Anything that you cannot use is a gem in someone else’s hands.

For donations or any other information please contact Ankia at 011 907 2922.

For more information contact Ankia Jooste: 011 907 2922 www.cmralberton.org.za www.committedtocare.co.za

Water leakage resolved In last week’s edition of tame TIMES, a story ran about a complaint about clean water going to waste at the premises of Genpak. Hundreds of litres of clean water had gone to waste.

According to Elize Roellofze they reported this problem as early as December last year, but all the municipality did was promise them that the problem will be

UPDATE

sorted out. When tame TIMES arrived at Genpak’s offices last week it was found that the municipality was busy fixing the problem.

Elize said, “We’re very happy that this problem is being sorted out, our clients and staff can now access the building without the embarrassment of the water flowing towards the reception area.”

Hulle sê dat ‘n mens so oud is soos wat jy voel, en dat ouderdom maar net ‘n nommer is. Maar as ‘n mens mooi oor hierdie stelling nadink, is dit effe problematies: in ons samelewing is ons geneig om aanvaarbare gedrag te koppel aan ouderdom. As ‘n vrou van 50 in ‘n mini rooi rokkie rond wals omdat sy 20 voel, of ‘n omie van in sy 50s in News Café ‘n drankie geniet saam met die jeug om dieselfde rede, weet ek nie so mooi of dit nog geregverdig kan word deur hierdie stelling nie.

Ek en Gysie het nou die dag ‘n lywige debat gehad oor hierdie stelling en ons besluit toe om dit self te toets. Ons was besig om inkopies te doen in Eastgate vir allerhande ditjies en datjies, toe ek oorkant die Milky Lane ‘n stampkarretjiebaan sien. Dit was een van daardie spontane oomblikke wanneer ‘n mens net ‘n gier kry om iets te doen, maak nie saak hoe laf of “buite jou ouderdomsbeperking” dit klink nie.

Gysie kon skaars boe of baa sê, toe sit ek klaar in ‘n karrretjie, besig om my gordel vas te maak. Die cherry op die koek was dat die stampkarretjies vir laerskoolkinders bedoel was. Ek en Gysie toring toe soos reuse bo almal uit. Gysie is ‘n lang man en hy moes omtrent soos ‘n padda sit, met sy kniëe langs sy ore, net om behoorlik in die karretjie te pas en die pedale by te kom.

Toe die stampery begin, was dit ook omtrent ‘n ander storie. Al die kindertjies op die baan besluit toe om vir ek en Gysie om elke hoek en draai te stamp, omdat ons duidelik nie so ingeoefen soos hulle was nie. Voor ek nog ordentlik asem kon skep, doef! Kom die volgende stamp weer.

Die volgende oggend word ek wakker met twee yslike bloukolle op my knieë en ‘n baie stywe nek, maar ek moet erken dat ek en Gysie lanklaas so lekker gelag het! Ek het vir net ‘n splitsekond ‘n flits gesien van die jong Trixie en Gysie toe ons net ontmoet het in ons tienerjare. Ons het geweet hoe om pret te hê en laf te wees en ons het voluit geleef.

Tip: Moet nie toelaat dat jou ouderdom jou terughou nie. Wees spontaan en probeer bietjie iets wat buite jou gemaksone of oudersomsbeperking lê. Wie weet? Jy voel dalk soos ‘n nuwe sikspens!

beradingsentrum / counselling centre

When leading a discussion on depression, the term ‘depression’ needs to be clarified.

We can distinguish between three different concepts of depression, namely symptom, syndrome and disorder.

A symptom is normally related to the environment and are short lived. This describes the common sad or down feelings all of us occasionally experience in life, caused by minor events. A syndrome encompasses deeper feelings of sadness and are less common than symptoms.

This kind of depression also impacts a person’s life on various other levels, such as motivation and sleep, and is normally caused by more significant life events such as loss of a loved one through death or divorce.

This kind of depression can be successfully overcome with therapy. Care should however be taken if the symptoms persist beyond a reasonable adjustment period following the loss of a loved one. Next week more on the disorder.

Padwoede-treurspel: Chop-shop uncovered Aanklag bly Moord Jody Nel (Beeld)

’n KwaZulu-Natalse man wat ’n jong pa van Alberton glo in ’n padwoede-voorval doodgeskiet het, word van moord aangekla.

Michael Sinequan (56) se regspan het gister in die Palm Ridge-landdroshof aan die OosRand bevestig hul aansoek aan die direkteur van openbare vervolging om die moordklag tot ’n klag van strafbare manslag te verander, het misluk.

Hy het glo op 9 Junie 2012 twee skote met sy .357 Magnum-rewolwer op Owein Lombard afgevuur en hom noodlottig gewond.

Lombard was ’n elektriese kontrakteur.

Sinequan, ’n pensioentrekker, het destyds in Brackendowns gebly. Hy het intussen verhuis.

Hy het in 2012 in sy borgtogaansoek aangevoer Lombard het hom aangerand en dat hy ter selfverdediging twee skote afgevuur en weggejaag het.

Die voorval het in Michellelaan gebeur nadat die mans se voertuie byna in ’n botsing betrokke was.

Sinequan is aanvanklik van strafbare manslag aangekla, maar dit is in Maart verlede jaar in moord verander.

Sy regspan het die klag sedertdien sonder sukses probeer terug verander.

Sinequan se regsverteenwoordiger het in die hof gesê hulle is gereed om met die verhoor te begin.

Voordat dit gebeur, moet die hof ’n aansoek deur die verdediging aanhoor. Hulle wil hê ’n staatsgetuie wat die voorval sien gebeur het en intussen na Australië geëmigreer het, moet op die staat se onkoste na Suid-Afrika gebring word om in die verhoor te getuig.

Adv Johan Olivier, aanklaer, wil die getuie via ’n regstreekse video-uitsending ondervra.

Albei partye is daarna gereed om met die verhoor te begin.

Die saak is tot middel vanjaar uitgestel.

Lombard se vrou, Tersia, het buite die hof gesê sy het ’n siviele saak teen Sinequan ingedien.

“Ek doen dit vir ons seun, Tian (7). Hy was vyf toe sy pa dood is.”

Be safe at work It’s the New Year and you’re either eager to start work or still dreaming about the holidays. Either way as you return to work it’s important to keep security top of mind.

Whether you’re returning to your old job or starting a new one, Clive Humphrey, Managing Director of ADT Central Region says now is a good time to refresh all precautionary routines that might have grown stale.

“When starting a new job, it’s always wise to take a practice drive to the office before your first day, familiarising yourself with the route and any possible crime hotspots on the way.

It will also give you an accurate idea of how long it might take you to reach the office, which allows you to give yourself enough time to reach the office safely. Rushing to work is never a good idea, both in terms of road safety and general awareness of your surroundings.

It also increases the chances of slipups such as forgetting to lock the doors and closing all windows at home, not to mention forgetting to activate your alarm,” Humphrey remarks.

Once you’ve arrived at your destination, be sure to park in a safe area that’s not isolated.

Survey your surroundings before getting out and locking your car. “Be sure to keep all

Following a tip-off from a member of the community, Brackendowns SAPS arrested a tenant in Brackenhurst for possession of stolen vehicles and suspected of running what the police described as a chop-shop.

Upon arrival at the suspect’s rented home, police ran a license plate authentication on a VW Polo that was parked in the garage.

The initial test result showed that the vehicle was clean, however when the VIN (vehicle identification number) did not match the registration, police confirmed it as a stolen car from Graskop.

The suspect, who was not at the house at the time of the police arrival, was called by his partner (wife/girlfriend) and arrived at the house and was subsequently handcuffed.

A second vehicle, also a VW Polo, was found to also be stolen (from Nigel). Police tested three more cars in the yard and a fully stripped van body. A search inside the house revealed several other questionable car and motorcycle parts, including one motorcycle engine with an engine number that did not match the suspect’s Suzuki Boulevard registration. Police also uncovered cast iron cylinders, which police explained are used

IRON CYLINDERS: used to punch engine numbers on engine blocks were recovered in one of the bed rooms in the house which also had several motorcycle parts laid on the bed and floor. to stamp engine numbers on engine blocks.

During the search of the premises the suspect insisted that he worked as a mechanic and that the vehicles in question were in fact his clients’ and had been left there so that he could fix them.

Speaking to tame TIMES, Col V Arikum reiterated a warning to VW Polo and Toyota Fortuner owners to never park their cars outside their driveways or leave gates open, as car thieves have worked out a way to easily steal these vehicles.

valuables, such as handbags or laptop-bags, pinned close to your body. And never talk or SMS on your cell phone while walking. This makes you an easy target.”

Once you’ve reached the office building safely, consider introducing yourself to any security staff that may be on duty. “Ask someone to show you around the building, having them point out where the emergency staircase, fire hoses and panic buttons are situated.

It’s also a good idea to save all relevant security numbers on your phone in case of an emergency,” he says.

Be alert when driving home, especially at intersections. “By the end of the work day we are generally feeling fatigued and less aware of our surroundings. Keep an eye open for anyone who might be following you, and if you notice anything suspicious contact the police or your security service to meet you at home. Survey the area before driving into your property.

“Don’t become complacent, even though you’ve driven the same route to work many times. Staying alert and aware of your surroundings is the best bet to getting to and from work safely,” Humphrey concludes.

How to deal with unsatisfactory matric results

Grade eight initiation Marais Viljoen

*Supplied by GDE Learners who did not perform as well as they would have liked, have an opportunity to write supplementary examinations in February and March 2014, or they can rewrite a few subjects in October and November 2014. Detailed information on

the procedure to follow when applying for supplementary exams appear at the back of every Grade 12 learner’s statement of results. The closing date for applications to write the supplementary examinations this year is 24 January.

Conditions for entry as per the regulations governing the supplementary examination: If a candidate has not met the minimum promotion and certification requirements in the final external examination, but requires a maximum of two subjects to obtain the National Senior Certificate, he or she may register for a maximum of two subjects for the supplementary examination in the year following the final external examination.

These two subjects must be subjects that the candidate sat for in the previous end of year examination.

If a candidate is medically unfit and as a result was absent from one or more external examinations, he or she may register for the supplementary examination.

If there is a death in the immediate family of a candidate, or other special reasons for the candidate’s absence, he or she may register for the supplementary examination.

A candidate who provides documentary evidence that he or she qualifies for admission to a higher education institution

or for an occupation, but does not satisfy the higher education faculty requirements or the requirements for the specific occupation, as well as a candidate who is one requirement short in meeting the minimum admission requirements for Higher Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor’s degree programmes, may be allowed to register for a maximum of two subjects.

In a case where an irregularity is being investigated, provisional enrolment for the supplementary examination may be granted to the candidate concerned, pending the outcome of the investigation.

A candidate who was unable to write or complete one or more of the national Senior Certificate examination question papers for reasons other than illness or injury may apply to write the supplementary examination, provided that a written report is submitted by the principal of the school to the Head of the assessment body.

Steering clear of Grade eight initiation fly-by-night colleges Hoërskool Alberton Fancy footwork: The grade 8s completing obstacles on the rugby field at Hoërskool Alberton. No-one was exempt from the balancing beam.

*Supplied by Lange 360 - on behalf of the Independent Institute of Education Every year thousands of matriculants with Bachelors and Diploma passes scramble to secure a space at universities and colleges. What many of these eager applicants do not realise, is that not all private academic institutions are as legitimate as they claim to be.

Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of the Independent Institute of Education (IIE), SA’s largest and most accredited private higher education institution, has cautioned prospective students to carefully scrutinise institutions before signing up to ensure that they are legitimate.

“Thousands of newly matriculated young people are being turned away at universities due to space constraints. It is encouraging to see so many prospective students who are considering private higher and further education institutions as alternatives.

It is therefore most regrettable that there are still some unscrupulous people exploiting students’ difficult situation, for fraudulent and selfish financial gain,” says Dr Coughlan.

“Most private institutions operating throughout the country are registered and accredited and almost all offer a viable alternative for students seeking a post-

school study opportunity, but it is a travesty that the actions of some taint the whole sector,” Coughlan says.

Students must check the credentials of private institutions and ensure that it is registered and able to offer the qualification for which they are applying.

Private institutions are required to adhere to the same rigorous quality assurance processes as state universities, meaning that if you register at the right private institution, you are able to gain a qualification of equal standing and quality.

“There are a few key questions to ask to which there are some simple answers, and if an institution is able to respond appropriately, it is worth considering,” Dr Coughlan says.

“Students eager to sign up in the current climate where spaces at tertiary institutions are scarce, may be tempted to forego this little bit of additional hassle. But failing to make the effort makes you enormously vulnerable to scamsters.”

According to Dr Coughlan, if students take the time to ask key questions, they contribute to strengthening the private higher education sector by making it harder for scamsters to continue to operate.

Rude awakening: A group of nervous grade 8 intimidated by the mighty water pistol.

Before signing up, students must ask the institution: 1) To show their certificate of registration with the Department of Higher Education. It should detail the campus, provider and the qualifications offered. No certificate – no go.

2) Whether it is accredited by the Higher Education Quality Committee of the Council on Higher Education. All higher education qualifications need to be accredited. If they are not accredited, they will not appear on the certificate referred to above. There is no other document detailing the accreditation; which is why checking if the qualification is on the certificate is an essential step.

3) For the SAQA NQF identity numbers. All the qualifications must be registered on the NQF

by SAQA. All the key information about the registration of an institution is available at the Register of Private Higher Education Institutions, which is kept by the Department of Higher Education and Training. The information is also readily available from reputable institutions.

Alternatively, students can phone the Department of Education’s toll-free number (0800 202 933) to check whether private institutions are registered.

Fordyce revisits Rietvlei Parkrun Shané’s dancers have swag

Shawn Mackrell, Bruce Fordyce and Toni Mackrell.

Rietvlei Parkrun was once again visited

by Bruce Fordyce on 11 January. The nine time Comrades Marathon winner officially opened Rietvlei Parkrun last year November.

Parkrun is free and is held every Saturday at 8:00. It is a 5km timed event taking place around the world every Saturday. Whether you walk or run, Parkrun encourages you to bring your family and friends, young or

old, and enjoy exercise outdoors in your community. Dogs on leads also welcome.

Discovery Vitality members can earn 500 vitality points every time they participate.

The national sponsors are Discovery Vitality, Adidas and Blue Label Telecoms.

The local sponsor for Rietvlei parkrun is Seeff Properties JHB South.

To find out more please visit www.parkrun. co.za and download your barcode.

Shané Van Straaten, principal of Shané’s School of Dancing, and several of her students competed in the IDO World Hip Hop, Electric Boogie and Breakdance Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark last year, in which 35 countries participated.

To qualify to represent South Africa at the International competition in Denmark, the dancers had to compete at various national competitions in South Africa.

Great results were achieved in Denmark.

Shané qualified in the Adult 2 Section – small group and formation. For the small group Vision she obtained a gold medal, and for the formation Full Circle she obtained a silver medal.

Her dancers qualified in the 16 and over section. Their small group Swag came 14th and the formation “Creed Elite” obtained 22nd place. Due to this being a very young group with five members under the age of 16, it is an excellent achievement.

Joshua Buys, a teacher and choreographer of Shané’s School of Dancing obtained seventh place with his Electric Boogie Solo.

Champs in the water Perfect Stroke Swimming Club would like to congratulate Jordan Roothman, Leah White, Erin Graham, Francesco Caporrino, Brad Gunther, Darielle Naubereit and Cade Moreira, who qualified to compete in the prestigious Central Gauteng Aquatics Open Champs held at Ellis Park from 5 – 8 December 2013.

Triple amputee Lucas Sithole is showing he is on top form and determined to get closer to his career dream of becoming world no 1.

BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS: Sithole made his ambitions known early when he won his first title for 2014 in Sydney. (Photo from www.itftennis.com) South African sports star Lucas Sithole has already stamped his mark on 2014 by winning his first title of the year - the Apia Sydney International Open, which took place from 10-14 January.

World number 2, Lucas Sithole had a great

year in 2013, where he won the quads singles title at the British Open in July 2013 and became the 1st South African to win a US Open grand slam singles title in SA Sports.

Triple amputee Lucas Sithole is showing he is on top form and determined to get closer

to his career dream of becoming world no 1.

The quads event at the APIA Sydney International Open, along with the British Open and Airports Company South Africa SA Open, is considered one of the top six events on the NEC International Wheelchair Tennis tour.

Although Sithole took the title, it was not all smooth sailing. He lost his match against former world no 5 Jamie Burdekin (GBR), where Sithole took the 1st set 6-3, but the determined Burdekin took the next two sets 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4).

Despite this shaky start, Sithole stayed focused and managed to bounce back after his loss, winning all the other round robin matches comfortably, including the quads singles final match against Britain’s world no 7, Antony Cotteril 6-1, 6-3.

The South African’s superb performance and comfortable victories secured him his first title of 2014.

SA Sport Awards winners Kgothatso Montjane and Lucas Sithole along with Evans Maripa competed in the Melbourne Open from 1619 January. Sithole and Montjane will play in the Australian Open Wheelchair Tennis Championships Grand Slam in Melbourne 22-25 January.

Nigeria dashes Bafana’s CHAN hopes

South Africa fell out of the CHAN 2014 tournament on Sunday as they were beaten 3 – 1 by Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

The game, which was the last of Bafana’s Group A fixtures, took place at a packed Athlone stadium and was a make or break for Bafana, who failed to secure a place in the second round of the tournament when they played to a 1 all draw with Mali on Wednesday, 15 January.

South Africa were 2 – 0 down in the 30th minute thanks to some questionable defensive errors and decisive striking via the boot of Ejike Uzoenyi and a cracker by Ifeanyi Ede from the penalty spot.

South Africa failed to play to their strength, which is a pacey game of carpet football; instead they panicked and were forced to use an aerial ball to bypass the Nigerians resilient midfield. Again and again this tactic failed because of the size and strength dominance the Nigerian defence enjoyed over the home team’s strikers.

The mountain became even higher when Uzoenyi curled his 64th minute shot around the fully stretched Moeneeb Josephs, scoring Nigeria’s third goal and sinking the hearts of many Bafana fans. Bafana did manage to momentarily replace the smiles on their fans’ faces when Bernard Parker converted from the penalty spot after Katlego Mashego was brought down by a tackle from behind, but unfortunately this was too little and too late.
