Eskom crossing the line Stephanie Conradie
stephanie.conradie@tametimes.co.za Members of the public were invited to attend a combined Ward Council meeting on 7 August to discuss the proposed placement of overhead power-lines by Eskom through the Alberton CBD. This meeting was held in preparation for the meeting confirmed with Council members that will take place on 14 August at the Alberton Civic Centre. The committees and members from Ward 37 (the directly affected area), Ward 38 and Ward 94 compiled a letter which was presented to Council on Monday, as an invitation to the Public Meeting confirmed for 14 August. The full letter can be viewed on our website). In the letter it states the objections raised by the affected parties, such as: the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was not up to standard and did not clearly indicate that Alberton would be affected, and no public participation took place before decisions were made. The letter also states that Eskom ignored the views and opinions of those residents in the neighborhood affected by the power-lines. The health and wellbeing of those living in the vicinity of the power-lines had also not been taken into account. The community believes that their constitutional rights have been violated and that they must be provided with answers by both the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and Eskom on the way forward with this project. The EMM Officials are not attending meetings on request and it appears that the project lacks transparency, as no answers can be

We hope that the public will take an interest in this very serious matter and make the most of this platform created for them to raise their views and give inputs for submission to Eskom. Ward Councillors urge each and every community member to attend the meeting on 14 August at 19:00 at the Alberton Civic Centre, Conference Room on the ground floor.

Celebrating Women’s Day in Eco style
This survey forms part of a survey that the Alberton Heritage Society is conducting as a continuance of that done in New Redruth, and due to the successful feedback from that survey, it is felt that other suburbs should be similarly surveyed, in the interests of preserving heritage throughout our town of Alberton. Please answer the following question as truthfully and objectively as possible, and return the reply by no later than 1September 2014. This survey is not necessarily linked to the views of the local authority. Life teaches us so many lessons, but it is up to us whether we learn from these lessons or just let them fly by. Unfortunately, too many of us just let them go and in the end we learn a harder lesson than what was originally intended – just a thought. It is our responsibility, as a newspaper, to inform the community of incidents that happen in Alberton; and, despite the good relationship we have with the community, we also have to share the bad news that dwells within Alberton. Unfortunately this issue of tame TIMES has quite a bit of bad news, but we also have a fair amount of good news. Always stay positive and try to make a difference where possible.

GUEST SPEAKERS: Hannon Bothma, Kate Emmerson and Nico Panagio. On 9 August Thaba Eco Hotel, in partnership with Pam Golding Properties and tame TIMES, celebrated National Women’s Day with women from all over Johannesburg. Proceeds were raised in aid of the EPIC Foundation, which helps rape and abuse victims. Ladies attending the event were requested to wear hats and to bring handbags filled with items suitable for rape and abuse victims. The handbags were then donated to the charity on the day, and Alta McMaster from the EPIC Foundation expressed their gratitude to all the ladies for their support. Nico Panagio, from Survivor and 7de Laan fame was the MC for the day, and had all the ladies flocking to his side to have their picture snapped with him. His good looks, wit and charm certainly added to the enjoyment of the day. The Glam Guru Hannon Bothma entertained the ladies with step-by-step make-over shows and gave them advice on how to look their absolute best in just a few minutes. He chose two ladies from the audience and did his Glam magic on them to show just how easily his tips worked. Kate Emmerson gave a vibrant, interactive and inspirational talk about how you should declutter your life physically, mentally and spiritually.
MAKLIK MOOI: Glam Guru demonstrates his make-up advice using his Hannon products. The day was filled with great prize giveaways and there was a dress-up photo booth where ladies could take selfies and upload them to the organiser’s Facebook page. Of course there was a delicious three-course meal. A big thank you goes to Taryn Porteous(Thaba Eco Hotel) and Linda Nunes(Pam Golding) and their teams for making it a spectacular day for all the beautiful women in attendance. A happy Women’s Month to all our women readers.

Police remain mum over fatality
Eleven Eikenhof protesters arrested

According to family and friends, a man from Steeledale died at the Brackendowns police station after trying to capture cellphone images of a friend who was allegedly assaulted at the station. An eyewitness said that Richard Chirwa was choked by a police officer who had arrested him for drinking and driving. According to the eyewitness, who was also one of four passengers in the car, they were travelling when they were stopped by police in Brackenhurst on 26 July. The police noticed two bottles of beer in the car and arrested Chirwa and another passenger on the scene. The 29-year-old female eyewitness said she and her brother were then asked to join the two suspects in the van. She told the media that she and her brother were taken to different entrances to the station, where they joined Mr Chirwa again a few minutes later. She went on to say that the other suspect was lying on the floor in front of other police officers, with his face bleeding. She said when Chirwa wanted to capture pictures of the injured man, the officers asked him to stop taking the pictures and confiscated his cellphone. The police then told Chirwa that they were going to draw his blood to check for alcohol, but he refused to allow them to do so unless they returned his cellphone first. It is alleged that one of the officers pepper-sprayed Chirwa and then throttled him until he collapsed. The following Thursday evening, Chirwa’s family said they wanted answers. They were suspicious because police were telling them a different story from the eyewitness. According to the family, the death certificate states that his cause of death is still being investigated. Richard’s wife, Maureen Chirwa, told tame

DECEASED: Richard Chirwa, who died in police custody on 26 July TIMES that the police said her husband collapsed when a standby nurse tried to draw his blood. The family had asked for a meeting with the police to explain the incident, but a meeting could not be confirmed. They are now busy making arrangements to send Richard’s body back to Malawi, where he was born. Provincial Police spokesman LieutenantColonel Lungelo Dlamini referred tame TIMES to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid). Ipid spokesman, Moses Dlamini, was not available for comment.
Arson case postponed The 57-year-old gardener who set Jenny van Tonder’s car alight while she was seated inside it, briefly appeared at the Palm Ridge Court on Wednesday 6 August. He stands accused of malicious damage to property and attempted murder and will appear in court again on 18 August, allowing him to apply for legal aid. Jenny sustained serious burns to her face,
chest and arms. Her son, Peter van Tonder, told tame TIMES his mother is recovering well at Chris-Hani Baragwanath Hospital. “We appeal to everyone for support on 18 August when the bail application will take place,” Peter said. “We hope that bail will be denied because he (the suspect) has threatened other’s lives as well.” Follow Jenny’s recovery on Facebook: Healing Jenny
The intersection of Vereeniging Road (R82), which leads to the R550 and the R554 in Eikenhof, saw violent protests by angry Jacksons Informal Settlement residents last Wednesday and Thursday. In reaction to the demolition of some shacks on Wednesday, residents threw stones, burned tyres, destroyed robots and covered the road with rocks. Eleven people have since been arrested for acts of public violence. Mondeor SAPS spokeswoman Cst Elizabeth Mnguni, explained that the Department of Human Settlements had moved some residents to RDP houses in Lehae last December, leaving some stands vacant. It was agreed that the residents could stay on the land on condition that no new shacks or people moved on to the vacant stands. However, when the Department came to do an inspection, it was found that new shacks had been erected. Two weeks’ notice was given for the shacks to be removed, but this instruction was not adhered to, which led to the shacks being demolished. Motorists bore the brunt of the protester’s anger, with numerous vehicles being damaged by bricks and massive rocks. A 26-year-old motorist told tame TIMES, “I was coming from Eye of Africa and when I got to the intersection to get on to the service road,
bricks were thrown at my vehicle. I ducked while trying to drive to get away. It was evident they were aiming for me.” Her vehicle has extensive damage: her windscreen, the driver’s window and the back windows of her car were smashed and there are numerous dents on the vehicle. She has since gone for trauma counselling, and will be going for more. Mondeor SAPS, SAPS Public Order Policing (POP) Unit and JMPD came to disperse and control the irate mob. Rubber bullets were needed to control the crowd on both days, and teargas was used on the second day, when eleven people, both men and women, were arrested. Thabile Nkosi, the ward councillor for the area, came to the scene on Wednesday to try to calm the situation down by facilitating negotiations. She was not successful, however, as residents began protesting again as early as 5:00 on Thursday morning. A source informed tame TIMES that protesters pulled residents out of their shacks at 4:00 in the morning, telling them to join in the protest and threatened to burn their shacks down if they did not. While tame TIMES was on the scene on Thursday, protesters threw rocks at the journalists, hitting two; but fortunately no injuries were sustained.

Care Centre receives 67 hampers Mandela Day is all about helping to change lives for the better. Employees at Henkel South Africa have been doing exactly that. They have put together 67 hampers with Pritt stationery, colouring-books and treats for the Tamaho Child Care Centre in Thokoza. The hampers represent the 67 years that Madiba devoted to making a difference and were presented to the crèche on Friday, 1 August 2014. The company also donated musical and sporting toys, as well as puzzles to the school. The crèche – an initiative of Henkel South Africa – has become an integral part of the community. With its head office in Alrode and almost 65% of its employees living in the area, the company is committed to supporting this community. It started Tamaho almost six years ago after realising the need for a fully equipped child care centre in Thokoza. At the handover, employees played games with the children. Mr Pritt, one of South Africa’s most loved characters, also attended and ensured smiles all around. “Mandela Day offers people an opportunity to embrace a culture of taking responsibility for changing the lives of those around them – for the better,” says Tracy Mitchley, Marketing

Missing dog tame TIMES run over
Sjoe mensies, in my jonger dae as jy getrou het, het ons ‘n kombuistee vir die bruid gehou en haar so gehelp om haar trousseau vir haar huis bymekaar te kry. Maar was julle al by ‘n meer onlangse kombuistee? Ek was oor die naweek by my kleindogter se kombuistee, en dit het heel rustig begin met die normale huis-goedjies wat vriendinne en familie vir haar as geskenk gegee het. Kompleet met die lieflike versnaperings en sappies. Later die middag, nadat ons die meer konserwatiewe gaste vaarwel groet, o my siel, toe begin die aktiwiteite behoorlik. Ek is mos ‘n bok vir sports en het besluit om maar te bly, en het ek vir julle baie nuwe goed van vandag se jongmense geleer. Hulle noem dit mos nou ‘n ‘bachelorettes’. Die bruidsmeisies het natuurlik als gereël en pluk toe daar baie truuks uit die hoed. Sonder om te veel uit te brei, het die aand eers in die vroeë oggendure geëindig, ek het baie nuwe dinge geleer, en heimlik wens ek dat ek ook so iets kon beleef voordat ek getrou het. Mens leer nogal baie oor die manlike geslag en oor die huwelik by so geleentheid. Tip: Dit is somtyds nodig om bietjie uit jou gemaksone te klim sodat jy nader aan jou kinders en kleinkinders kan leef, en tye vol pret met hulle te deel.
This dog was rescued on Monday 4 August after being run over by a car in Jacqueline Street, Randhart. Many thanks go to the kind souls at Randhart Vetwhonursedhimbacktolifeoverthreedays. Please contact Jackie on 083 417 2182 if you know who the dog belongs to.

Mega church next to South Crest Relieved Resident writes:
The residents of South Crest have been objecting to the development of the mega church complex next to the N12 freeway for over two years. Two site inspections, appeal meetings and an environmental impact assessment (EIA) later, the residents were relieved to receive the news from Bruna Haipel that the outcome of the EIA identified three key points on which permission for the development to go ahead has been refused, pending an appeal by the developers. Five species of rare and/or endangered plant species were identified growing on the ridge. We, as residents, also know of the small mammals,birds and insects that contribute to the wonderful biodiversity of the ridge that
Ek het onlangs ʼn video greep gekyk waarin Francic Chan (ʼn Amerikaanse Pastoor) sy hart deel oor die vervolging van Christene in veral Indië. Hy wys ook video-grepe van die marteling wat Christene in Indië deurgaan, baie van hulle sterf as gevolg van hierdie wrede vervolging. Wat my hart so aangegryp het is dat ek, soos Francis Chan en baie ander, geweet het van martelaars in die 21ste eeu. ‘n Vinnige Google soektog lewer maklik die
separates our suburb from the busy freeway. The detrimental effect of daily heavy traffic down a residential street was also taken into account, since the church complex includes a Bible college, creche and student accommodation. Also instrumental in the refusal were the many other objections the residents brought to the table. We are more than relieved that our special ridge is safe from development, at least for the time being. It is proof that public participation and a united community are not just a waste of time and effort. May the residents of the greater Alberton area take this lesson to heart in fighting the giant power pylons planned to pass right in front of the Civic Centre.
resultate op van hoe baie mense wêreldwyd vir hulle geloof vervolg en vermoor word. Omtrent 400 mense sterf daagliks as ʼn direkte gevolg van hulle geloof in Jesus. Vervolging vind plaas in 131 van die 196 lande van die wêreld. Die sien van hoe dit gebeur het die statistiek egter vir my van syfers na mense verander. Ek is geskok en hartseer oor hierdie elke dag gebeur sonder dat ek eens aan een van hierdie broers of susters gedink of vir hulle gebid het. Vandag vra ek vir jou om saam met my vir hulle wat vervolg en vermoor word te bid. Opreg voor die Here vir hulle in te tree.

DRS visits St Mary’s Children’s Home
Emma Griffin-Coetzer, Nthabiseng from St Mary’s Children’s Home and driver Peter. Diagnostic Radiological Services supported St Mary’s Children’s Home on Friday 1 August. This diagnostic X-ray practice, which has eight branches situated in and around Johannesburg, identified the need within the community to help St Mary’s Children’s Home in Rossettenville, south of Johannesburg. The various branches pulled together and collected all sorts of items included on the Children’s Home’s wish-list, ranging from clothes and toiletries to much needed groceries.
St Mary’s Children’s Home has been open to children since 1902 and has six houses that can accommodate a maximum of 12 children at a time with two house-mothers per house. This charity relies solely on the generosity of the community to continue providing a caring environment for these children. DRS felt very humbled to be shown around the houses and felt privileged to be able to donate towards helping these children even in just a small way. DRS would like to continue supporting St Mary’s Children’s Home in the future.

Mad Hatters’ fundraiser Madeleine van Niekerk, an Out of Africa Winter Queen finalist from Alberton, hosted a Mad Hatters High Tea party on 2 August for CHOC. Funds were raised through function ticket sales, donations and raffle ticket sales. The Out of Africa Winter Queen Beauty pageant is a national competition which has fundraising for childhood cancer awareness as its main mission. The mission of the Out of Africa pageant is to help women all over the continent “to be the change they want to see in the world.” The pageant gives finalists different tasks, one of which is to raise funds, of which a percentage will go to CHOC. Madeleine is also part of the Awareness for Childhood Cancer Campaign. Guest speakers included Nicky Strydom from Alberton whose daughter Sarah was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma just before her eighth birthday and has been in remission for 10 years. She wrote a book called Spunky that is about her cancer experience and how, against all odds, she became a provincial badminton player. The book started as a scrapbook when she was in hospital having chemotherapy and ended in her Matric year. It is available from Exclusive Books, from Nicky Strydom herself or from the website www. heartspacebooks. com. Another guest speaker was Raynolda Makhutle, a volunteer from Cancervive who has battled with cervical, ovarian and colon cancer, and is currently in remission. She would like to thank the sponsors, who made the event possible:

9 Common Birth Control Side Effects and how to deal with them: and it sometimes sloughs off. Ibuprofen or a little bit of oestrogen hormone can improve this condition.. Reduced Libido: switch to an androgen based (testosterone-like) method.
Unplanned pregnancy is one of the challenges facing South Africa. According to WHO 50% of unintended pregnancies are among women who were not using birth control at the time they became pregnant. Strategies for prevention of the above include the following: - Educating and empowering women about birth control - Helping men and women at risk of unintended pregnancies choose appropriate contraception - Correct use and consistency of the chosen method - Promoting the use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). LARC are methods that require administration
less than once per month/cycle. They do not require ongoing effort on the part of the user for long, effective use and rapid return to fertility after discontinuation. The following methods fall within the above category: Intrauterine devices, Mirena速 and Copper devices Implanon速,Depo Provera, Nur-isterate and combined vaginal rings Hormone-based birth control often comes with side effects that can range from slightly annoying to bad enough to make you discontinue the method. The lack of hormones in some of the methods alone is a major benefit to many women who simply prefer hormone-free birth control option.
Nausea, headaches and dizziness will resolve spontaneously in three months. If it does not, take pills with food or switch to another method. Breakthrough bleeding can be annoying because it is often unpredictable and prolonged. It is common with progestin only methods (Depo Provera, Nuristerate, Implanon速 and mini pills). They cause thinning of the lining of the uterus
Mood swings Studies have shown that this is due to a lack of pyridoxine in the body. Pyridoxine tablets may relieve these symptoms. Women with persistence of these side effects despite treatment must switch to a non-hormonal method. Weight gain and breast tenderness: because of fluid retention, usually improves after a few months. Drosperinone-containing methods can prevent this side effect. Vaginal thrush is more common with methods containing high doses of oestrogen.
Women are not aware that birth control pills can be used to treat and prevent a variety of problems and have health benefits. These include treatment of the following conditions Irregular, heavy and painful periods - Premenstrual syndrome Endometriosis - Acne, excess hair (hirsuitism) and loss of hair (alopecia) Reduction of endometrial, ovarian and colorectal cancers - Improves rheumatoid arthritis and iron deficiency anaemia

About
Howdoesnon-invasiveLaser Lipotechnologywork? Non-invasive Laser Lipo technology works with a patented cold laser conductor that is passed over the skin. Cold laser technology was originally designed to speed up healing, but doctors soon noticed that it could also liquefy fat cells painlessly. In contrast to Liposuction, the non-invasive Laser Lipo does not remove fat cells - it drains them. The fat can then be drained by the lymphatic system of any healthy person, causing reductions of a few inches a week. The Laser Lipo works by focusing the cold red laser, which permeates to the fat cells and triggers the cell membranes to break and release the fat from the cells. It is safe, painless and completely non-invasive.
LaserLipo
www.realsimple.co
Cell Breakdown The breaking down of the fat cells starts when the laser penetrates the skin and makes contact with them. Pores form on the cells causing them to “sweat.” Water, glycerol and free fatty acids then emerge from the cells and occupy the space beneath the fatty layer in the skin. The fat cells therefore become smaller.
Wheredoesthefatgo? LymphaticDrainage Laser Lipo treatments cause the liquefaction of fats, and the liquefied fats are then drained through the lymph drainage system. The effectiveness of fat drainage during and after treatment, therefore, depends on proper functioning of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing wastes from the body.
What happens after each treatment? You will be able to resume normal activities immediately, as the Laser Lipo in completely non-invasive, causing no downtime whatsoever. After the treatment, however, it is advisable to do some sort of cardiovascular activity to move things along, e.g.: use a whole body vibration machine, Stairmaster or treadmill; take a brisk walk or jump on a mini trampoline.
Source:
The fat cells reduce in size and the lymphatic system then removes the fatty liquids through the venous system, where they are processed in the same way as fatty foods that are digested. Not only is the procedure quick, safe and pain-free, but it is also healthy.
The most natural-looking glow, of course, comes from well-cared-for skin. Here’s how to get it:
Stick to gentle cleansers. Use a nonsoap product (like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser) morning and night to wash away grime without irritating skin. Even out your skin tone. If you have dark pigmentation spots, ask your dermatologist for a prescription-strength skin lightener (which usually contains hydroquinone). Or try an over-the-counter lightener with hydroquinone. Products with vitamin C or licorice extract may help, too. Don’t forget sunscreen. Wear one with SPF 30 daily to protect your skin’s tone and texture. Get your antioxidants. Look for a free-radical fighter, like vitamin
C, or promising ones, like coffeeberry and idebenone, in your day or night cream. Antioxidants protect skin from sun damage and help refine its tone. Smooth skin. In the morning, apply a lotion that contains alpha hydroxy acids to slough off dead skin cells. Use an over-the-counter retinol or a prescription-strength retinoid at bedtime. These products encourage cell turnover and collagen production. Begin by applying a pea-sized amount every other night, as retinoids can be irritating at first.

After Care After Laser Lipo treatments, clients are encouraged to follow a sensible health and exercise routine. The Strawberry Laser procedure does not harm the body in any way and will maintain the body’s tendency to store fat in the areas where the work has been carried out. This is an important health factor, as it prevents the fat being stored in different places, such as around the heart or other vital organs. If clients exercise and eat sensibly and regularly, their body shapes will retain the effects of the treatment.

Helping children of struggling mothers All working mothers need crèches or day-care centres for their children with decent facilities. Mothers, however, who do piece jobs and send their children to township crèches or day-care centres, cannot always insist on the upholding of accepted norms and standards. Many cannot even afford to pay the monthly fees, with the result that there are women running township day-care centres who are forced to look after children in very difficult circumstances. These women often work without pay, looking after the children simply to keep them off the streets. The children in their care need to be stimulated and the CMR Alberton has been giving informal training to some of the day-care ladies on how to keep them busy with colddrink bottle-caps, pictures in magazines etc. If you would like to get involved as an individual or a company doing your bit for social responsibility, please contact Ankia on 011 9072922.
Desiree Oliphant and Johann Herbst at Bennie Boekwurm Nursery School When Mrs UN SA 2014/15 finalist Desiree Oliphant arrived at Bennie Boekwurm Nursery School, she had two things in mind: firstly, to engage the little ones (3-6 year-olds) about the importance of Safety First and, secondly, to teach them about the importance of the Police. SAPS Brackendowns Police W/O Khumalo did a powerful “bluelight-siren-demonstration.” Though the toddlers were a little scared at first, they soon warmed to it and enjoyed it in the end. The children were also given an interactive pep-talk on bullying by AKESO’s qualified psychologists, and spoiled with toys sponsored by Toys For Africa. “Another surprise element for me was that Mr SA finalist Johann Herbst Mr SA also agreed to join me in making this day special for the kids in our community,” Desiree said. Johan and Desiree, both finalists from Alberton, will do many more collaborations together, in aid of the community. The highlight of the day was of course the pamper sessions (hand massages) for the little divas for Women’s Month, courtesy of the beauticians from Infinity Nails & Beauty Parlour in Alberton.

JOZI AWAITS THE PRESETS: Australian electronic duo will be at the Vodacom In The City festival on 3 October.
The Presets, an Australian electronic duo, will soon be making their way to South Africa to be part of Vodacom’s In The City festival which will take place on 3 October 2014. The Presets have been recognised worldwide for their incredible live performances, playing hundreds of shows and key slots at renowned music festivals like Glastonbury, Coachella, Exit, Melt, Parklife and Splendour in The Grass. Australian duo Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes met while pursuing a mutual interest in contemporary music, where they then joined the instrumental, experimental band Prop, and in 2003 formed the more techno, dancefocused duo The Presets. The band quickly became recognised for their
ability to fuse elements of dance music with energy more akin to that of a rock ’n’ roll show. Their single My People is the longest charting single in Australian chart history. After releasing three landmark albums in the last 10 years with 2005’s Beams, 2008’s Apocalypso and 2012’s Pacifica; 2014 sees The Presets regroup, refocus and refine while 2014’s No Fun sets The Presets on a nihilist path to techno-decadence. Along with the alreadyannounced line-up of MGMT, Rudimental and Crystal Fighters, The Presets will deliver jolts of excitement, a change of perspective and a new way of experiencing techno at this year’s Vodacom In The City.

In a smashing evening of stand-ups, sketches, parodies and comedic brilliance, six of South Africa’s top comedians walked away with the industry’s top accolade – a prized Waldo statuette. The 4th Annual South African Savanna Comic’s Choice Awards® (CCA) was a hit. Held on 2 August at The Teatro at Montecasino, audiences were treated to an impressive variety show featuring zombies, ridiculously funny musical ensembles and satirical routines. Did we mention zombies?
Scooping up this year’s Waldo’s were: The Savanna Newcomer Award: Loyiso Madinga The Breakthrough Act Award: Kagiso KG Mokgadi The Times Comic’s Pen Award: Chester Missing The Savanna Audience Choice Award: Elton Mduduzi Ntuli The Lifetime Achiever Award: Mark Banks The Comic’s Choice Comic of the Year Award: Loyiso Gola Show highlights included the event’s first-ever fully vernacular set, which went down a storm, as well as the world premiere of ZANEWS’ latest music video, ‘Wrecking Ball,’ starring Thuli Madonsela’s puppet. A surprise return of Corné and Twakkie further fuelled rumours of a much-anticipated comeback for the duo. Of course, as is always the case with comedy, controversial content was thrown in for good measure, this time in the format of Riaad Moosa appearing as Shrien Dewani in a rap collaboration with Nik Rabinowitz. Breaking into song with Duran Duran’s ‘Notorious’ (as ‘Pistorious’), it was surely one moment the audience will not forget any time soon. The best events need the best partners to support them and the comedy industry thanks Savanna, Mzansi Magic, The Times and Kaya FM 95.9 for helping to make comedic history. SA’s FUNNIEST MAN: Loyisa Gola.

tame TIMES wens Derick Minnie en sy vrou Ruanda Minnie baie geluk met die geboorte van hul dogtertjie op 7 Augustus in die Clinton Kliniek. SLAG-HOU: Robbie Coetzee and Stokkies Hanekom wys goeie Leeus verdediging. *Foto deur: Christiaan Kotze Die Xerox Goue Leeus het hul 2014 Absa Currie Beker seisoen die afgelope naweek behoorlik afgeskop met hul 125 jaar vieringe en ‘n 41 -13 tuisveld wen teen die Vodacom Blou Bulle. Ondersteuners het in groot afwagting voorberei vir die derby tussen die twee Gauteng spanne. Maar die Leeus span het die wedstryd oorheers op Ellispark stadion en reeds in die vierde minuut met 7-0 voorgeloop ná ‘n drie deur die senter
Stokkies Hanekom. Nog ‘n strafdoel deur Marnitz Boshoff maak die telling 10 – 0 binne die eerste 10 minute. Die Bulle het baie bal-besit weggeskop en dit het in die Leeus se guns getel. Die eerste helfte eindig 23 – 3, en maak dit byna onmoontlik vir die Blou Bulle om in te haal. Hoewel die tweede helfte goed vir die Bulle span begin het, het die Leeus steeds oorheers en gesorg dat die Bulle net een

drie in die wedstryd druk. Met vier drieë gedurende die wedstryd verdien die Leeus beslis hul bonus punt. Marnitz Boshoff het hom goed van sy taak gekwyt en Jaco van der Walt het ook gewys dat hy ‘n betroubare plaasvervanger is toe hy pale toe moes aanlê nadat Boshoff ‘n armbesering opgedoen het. Die Leeus is ‘n groot gunsteling om die Curriebeker te wen, en het hulself reeds in hierdie wedstryd bewys.
