Ekurhuleni should open their tender processes Stephanie Conradie
stephanie.conradie@tametimes.co.za According to a statement released by DA Gauteng spokesperson for Finance Ashor Sarupen MPL, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality can no longer drag its feet on the issue of opening its tender committee processes to public and media scrutiny, after Premier David Makhura announced that the Gauteng Provincial Government would begin to open up its tender processes. Sarupen went on to say that during his time as a DA Councillor in Ekurhuleni, he has tabled several measures to open up the various committees awarding tenders, but was obstructed each time. A motion tabled in this regard was rejected by the Speaker of the Ekurhuleni Metro in early 2011, and the DA managed to bring the issue for debate in October 2011 to the council floor during the revision of the city’s Supply Chain Management Policy - at which point the measure was voted down. “Mayor Mondli Gungubele routinely dismissed my calls and attempts to open tender processes in the city up to scrutiny,” Sarupen said. “Ekurhuleni has had countless scandals - the awarding of large scale tenders, including IT tenders, a R700-million water meter tender that is now the subject of an SIU investigation and most recently, a tender for R32-million that was awarded to
undertake an ‘institutional review’.” Zweli Dlamini, Ekurhuleni Mayoral spokesperson, told tame TIMES that there is no proof in the allegations that Mayor Mondli Gungubele is not responding to any calls. He also mentioned that the matter regarding the tender processes should go through the municipality administration as it would be unethical for the Mayor to get involved in the tender processes. Themba Gadebe, spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, was not available to comment on the matter. Sarupen is of the opinion that if there is truly no corruption to hide in Ekurhuleni, the Mayor and the council should follow Premier Makhura’s lead and finally heed his call and institute an open tender process in the metro. Clr. Izak Berg said: “IRASA supports opening the tender committee processes to public and media scrutiny and will support the DA on the motion. I agree that there are too many scandals currently in Ekurhuleni related to tenders. The ANC must realise that they work with public funds and they must be accountable to the public how they spend the money. If the ANC has nothing to hide then they will follow in the footsteps of Premier David Makhura’s announcement that the Gauteng Provincial Government would begin to open up its tender processes.”

The SAPS East Rand Sports Club held their quarterly fun sports day at Brackendowns Policing Precint. The sports day took place at Sundowners, where SAPS teams from across the East Rand participated in a 5km or 10km fun run and some participated in the 17km fun cycle challenge. Between 100 and 120 members participated on the day. “The aim of the SAPS East Rand Sport day is to enhance the fitness of the members as well as team-building,” said Captain Lourens Engelbrecht from Brackendowns SAPS. After the sport in the gruelling heat, SAPS members enjoyed boerewors rolls and colddrinks while catching up with their colleagues from other stations in Ekurhuleni.
Dames Klub begin lente op ‘n goeie noot
If all Alberton’s dogs barked when chasing burglars, it would be the most secure town in the world. But this was not the case, and the Council had decided to increase tariffs to cur-tail (excuse the pun) the number of hounds destroying the serenity of the East Rand “gem town.” This was said by Alberton’s Town Clerk, Mr A.G. Lotter, in commenting on the 500% increase in the licences of certain dogs. “Instead of enforcing the number of dogs one can own, the Council feels that the introduction of the higher tariffs will have the desired effect. Some people have ten or more dogs – and many of them bark at anything, including street lights. It would be a marvellous state of affairs if all Alberton’s dogs barked at something justified. But street lights never hurt anybody,” he said. The current tariffs are R1 per dog and spayed bitch, and R2 unspayed. From next January, Albertonians will have to pay R2 for a dog or spayed bitch, R10 for an unspayed bitch and R30 for each additional unspayed animal. The notorious dog licences of yesteryear.
Op 11 September het die Alberton Dames Klub die lente behoorlik gevier. Die talentvolle Marimba spelers van Stoneridge Primêre Skool in Eden Park het die dames kom vermaak. Die skool het die Marimba orkes 5 jaar gelede begin, en die groep was selfs al na New York en Oostenryk uitgenooi om daar op te tree. Die talentvolle Jodie Jansen, begelei deur die bekende Rudi Geldenhuis op klavier, het ook vir die dames viool gespeel en hulle weggevoer met hul musiek.
Part of the circular cemetery before it was repaired and cleaned up. Attend the Heritage Day ceremony to see the transformation.
Heritage Day The Alberton Heritage Society invites all interested parties – past or present inhabitants of our town - to join us at 11:00 on Wednesday 24 September, the Heritage Day public holiday, for the unveiling of the plaque containing the names of the pioneers buried in the two cemeteries on the corner of 9th Avenue and Hendrik Potgieter Street. With great respect for those pioneers and their families who founded Alberton, lived, worked and died here, we have repaired and cleaned up the circular cemetery (the so-called traffic island) and the adjoining empty stand. The two areas are the first farm cemetery of Elandsfontein and also the first town cemetery. There will be an interesting talk on the background of both cemeteries, a wreath-laying ceremony and reading out of the names of those buried there. If you will attend, please contact Yvonne Grobler on 082 875 1215 (e-mail yvonnegr@mweb.co.za) or Magda Alberts on 083 298 699 (e-mail albertshm@iburst.co.za).

Eleven mall robberies have taken place in just 25 days in the province of Gauteng. The robberies began on 13 August and the most recent one occurred on 8 September. Most of the crimeso- have involved armed men robbing cellphone and high-end electronics stores. The low level of security in these stores and the speed with which criminals are able to convert the stolen goods into cash has made them highly attractive targets. Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Lesetja Mothiba, said during a media briefing on 9 September, “As the Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, speaking for myself and my management, this spate of robberies and attacks on malls is of great concern to us. The festive season is soon approaching and Gauteng SAPS will increase visibility in and around some of the malls that we have identified as high risk. We have identified 12 malls where we will increase visibility, which will include the deployment of Nyalas.” A national team of detectives has been assigned to assist the local authorities with their investigations. The police have worked with Business against Crime and South

Africa Banking Risk Information Centre to attempt to stop the surge of business robberies. Meetings will be held with the management of the various malls to discuss the improvement of security systems in malls. A breakthrough has, however, been made in the police’s investigations. This followed an intense investigation and several leads from Crime Intelligence on the robberies. Four suspects, aged between 28 and 44 years, were arrested at their hideouts in Brixton and Doornfontein. During the arrest police confiscated a 9mm pistol and three semiautomatic rifles, as well as 97 live rounds of ammunition. The suspects are in custody and will be charged with the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. The possibility of more charges being added has not been ruled out. The investigation will focus on their alleged involvement in the robbery at the Black Chain Shopping Centre in Diepkloof in Soweto, ATM bombings, taxi violence and business robberies. Shoppers and businesses are encouraged to be vigilant until the safety measures can be implemented.
Alberton stores affected by this crime wave
Three cellphones stores in Alberton have also been robbed during the past few months. The most recent cellphone store robbery was at the Vodacom store in the Lemon Tree Shopping Centre in New Redruth, on 15 August. On Thursday 31 July the Telkom Direct store in Alberton City Mall was targeted, and on 14 July, also in Alberton City, there was a robbery at the MTN Store.

Absa charity golf day in Alberton
tame TIMES
Oscar Siziba, Absa Head of Business Banking in Gauteng (second from left) and Absa clients at the charity golf event. On 9 September, Absa’s Business Banking unit in Gauteng hosted a charity golf competition at Reading Country Club in Alberton. They raised an amount of R72 000 for the Orlando Children’s Home, a centre for underprivileged and orphaned children in Soweto. Oscar Siziba, Head of Absa Business Banking in Gauteng said: “This is the first year that Absa has organised the golf day and we are delighted to have generated this amount of money for the Home. This will assist us in fulfilling our commitment to contributing just over R100 000 per year
in cash and kind to the Orlando Children’s Home over the next three years.” Among the donations received were also full bursaries for four students at Orlando Children’s Home. This winter, the bank’s employees brought some warmth to the Home by donating winter garments, blankets, non-perishable foods and toys. Absa began its relationship with the home in April and has since rebuilt and replaced old and derelict parts of the residence, donated a new jungle gym and installed a new irrigation system.
Happy birthday Bracken City By Zeb Mathobela
On Saturday 6 September, Bracken City celebrated their birthday by inviting the community to celebrate the day with them. Shops in the centre, including the gym, showcased what they sell. PRO of Bracken City Lyn Kench stated that Bracken City celebrates their birthday every September. She explained that they would like to give back to the community for supporting them, and so they had a luxury hamper giveaway. Children were entertained with a jumping castle, free flavoured slush cold drinks, free candy floss, colouring tables, giveaways, and, of course, birthday cake. John Malipa, a member of the community, said that “Bracken City brought entertainment, laughter and freebies to the community to enjoy,” adding that he liked watching people from the gym do their workout outside and enjoyed eating a boerewors roll while watching his children play on the jumping castle.
Suksesvolle manne-aand Wicus van der Merwe, Kobus Strydom en Thys die Bosveldklong. Hoërskool Marais Viljoen het op Woensdag 3 September hul jaarlikse manne-aand in die Alberton Burgersentrum aangebied. Die aand was ‘n reuse sukses en 470 mans
het heerlik gekuier en die vertoning, “Bokkoms en Biltong” aangebied deur Thys die Bosveldklong en Wicus van der Merwe, geniet. Terwyl die manne bietjie van hul ‘stress’ ontslae geraak het deur al die gelag vir Wicus se sin vir humor en Thys se musiek en sang, is die nodige fondse, soos begroot deur die skool se beheerliggaam en die manne-aand organiseringskomitee, ingesamel vir die teikenprojekte by die skool. Die Lions rugbyspan se voorspeler en Kaptein, Derrick Mienie, was onder andere weer een van die eregaste by die funksie en as oud-Marais Viljoener het hy tydens die veiling van rugby- en sport memorabilia die skool bedank vir sy rugby

agtergrond en die gemeenskap vir hulle toegewyde ondersteuning. Die fondse sal aangewend word tot die opgradering van die skool se sportfasiliteite en ook gedeeltelik vir die aankoop van twee nuwe skoolbussies wat as ‘n noodsaaklikheid geïdentifiseer is. Mnr. Paul Els, voorsitter van die manneaand bestuur, wil graag almal in die gemeenskap bedank vir hul positiewe deelname en ondersteuning by die manne-aand 2014. Ook ‘n spesiale woord van dank aan die hoofborg: Randow Paneelkloppers, brons borge; Fedility Security, Don’t Waste Services, Evergreen Turf en die prysborge wat bygedra het tot die sukses van die aand.
Top 10 Mrs United Nations SA
Desiree Oliphant On 29 and 30 August, Forever Resorts and Hotels in Pretoria hosted the Top 15 Mrs United Nations SA finalists and the management and CEO of Mrs UN 2015. The finalists also participated in the annual SPAR 5km Women’s Race/Challenge. Alberton and Johannesburg South can be very proud of Brackendowns resident Desiree Oliphant who is not only part of the Top 15 but, in fact, part of the Top 10. “To the entire Alberton community, my sponsors, fans and followers on social media, I would like to say thank you more than a million times for your support. I could never have done this without you,” Desiree said. “All thanks to God and my family...my rock, my anchor,” she continued.

Letters&NoticesFoto’s is ‘n wonderlike ding Bad experience selling my house
Anne Swanevelder writes: I would like to hear from others if they have had bad experiences selling their houses. I chose a well-known real estate group and their agents to sell my house. When we signed the offer to purchase, the real estate agent convinced me to use their preferred attorneys to do the transfer. The attorneys have given me invoices and quotations without invoices for amounts that do not add up to the amount that they owe me, and I am now struggling to get my monies from them. They have given me an account showing that they kept back R10 000 for a plumbing certificate, although there is no law requiring one to produce a plumbing certificate when a house is sold. They also kept back R15 000 for an Electric Fencing COC, and both the Electrical Fencing COC and the Electrical COC was handed in to the attorneys’ reception. I have phoned the real estate agents as well as the house-owner, but was told they cannot help me. It seems once they receive their commission, they want nothing to do with the seller. The house is a beautiful home in Alberante, Alberton, that was well maintained. Another agent informed me that I am not the only person that went through this experience. I had to appoint another attorney to help me with this case. My attorney wrote a letter to the abovementioned attorneys stating the following: “It is apparent from what has transpired in this matter that the only person in whose interest you have acted herein appear to be the Purchaser (and possibly youself).” To date neither myself nor my attorney has received any response to the letter. I do not want this to happen to anyone else and therefore I am writing this letter. Please let me know if anyone has had the same experience. Contact me on anneswanevelder@vodamail.co.za.

Neville Peters skryf: Hello Trixie, Jou rubriek van 2 September, stem ek volkome mee saam. Foto’s is ‘n wonderlike ding. ‘n Paar jaar gelede het ek besluit om myne uit te haal en drie foto collages van 1,20m x 1.00m gemonteer met omtrent 350 foto’s daarop – vanaf 1943 tot en met die middel ‘90’s - en dit teen die muur opgehang, in plaas van om altyd die Albums uit te haal. Dit het my verbaas hoe dit vriende en
familie se aandag trek om te sien hoe ons 20, 30, 40 en 50 jaar gelede gelyk het asook opgetree het. Ek sit ook baie kere met ‘n traan in my oog as ek na diese kyk van lede wat aangestap het na groener wei lande. Hoop en vertrou die wenk sal ander lesers aanmoedig om dieselfde te doen. Groetnis tot werderom, Jou Bondgenoot
Tannie Trixie skryf: Hello Bondgenoot, Baie dankie vir die brief, ek waardeer dit so baie dat jy my rubriek in die tame TIMES geniet. Ek sal graag die collages wat jy laat maak het wil sien, ek vertrou dat dit baie inspirerend is. Ek moedig graag saam met jou ander lesers aan om ook hul albums wer aft e stof en die foto’s kreatief uit te lê sodat dit altyd sigbaar is.
ʼn Wonderlike gedeelte in Lukas is die gedeelte wat bekend staan as die Emmaus gangers. Jesus loop saam met twee persone op ʼn pad tussen Emmaus en Jerusalem, en soos hulle stap breek Hy vir hulle die Woord oop. Lees gerus die teks gedeelte om jou geheue te verfris, ek wil vandag graag ons aandag op twee aspekte fokus. Die eerste is hoe Jesus geduldig en belangstellend luister na hulle weergawe van gebeure. Hoewel Hy baie goed bewus is van elke detail wat in Jerusalem afgespeel het rondom Paasfees, stel Jesus belang in hoe hierdie twee persone dit beleef het. Hy luister na hulle vrae en onsekerheid. Jesus
Groete, Trixie
stel belang in hoe hierdie Emmaus gangers hulle wêreld en belewenis daarvan aan Hom openbaar. Die tweede is hoe Jesus dan Sy perspektief en die Woord rondom hulle openbaring met hulle deel. Hy begin by die Bybel en deel dan Sy Koninkrykperspektief met hulle. Later besef hulle dit was ʼn Godsontmoeting. Jesus stel vandag steeds belang in hoe jy jou wêreld en gebeure daarin beleef, en steeds breek Hy deur Sy Gees die Woord oop sodat ook ons nuut kan verstaan. ʼn Godsontmoeting gebeur wanneer ek en jy ons lewens sommer so op pad na Emmaus met Jesus deel.

Hierdie afgelope naweek het ek die wonderlike voorreg gehad om my Universiteits vriendin se 80ste verjaarsdag by te woon. Sy woon langs die kus, in Durban, so dit was sommer ‘n kort wegbreek so tussen die ryery en gekuier. Gysie kon die naweek ongelukkig nie saam my gaan nie, en dit was ‘n redelike vreemde gevoel want ons doen al die jare alles saam. Maar so tussen my en jou, was dit eintlik goed dat hy nie saam gegaan het nie want my kêrel uit my universiteits dae was ook by die verjaarsdag. Hy is nog altyd as Neville die rebel bekend want hy het altyd op sy motorfiets rondgery, en in daardie dae was dit vreeslik rebels om ‘n motorfiets te ry. Heimlik was dit baie lekker om hom weer te sien. Dit het my teruggevat na my stres-vrye studente dae waar ons sommer so sorgvry op sy motorfiets geklim het en ‘road trips’ gehad het. Hierdie naweek het ek weer daardie gevoel teruggekry toe hy my om die blok op sy motorfiets gevat het. Maar die hoogtepunt vir my was toe ons almal, wat saam studeer het, op die strand gaan sit en na die skemer staar, dit was ongelooflik mooi met die branders wat voor ons breek. Tip: Die rebel in jou mag maar so af en toe weer sy/haar kop uitsteek, herleef die jong dae sodat jy die rustiger dae waardeer.

Young life lost in accident
TRAGIC: The accident scene A young man tragically lost his life, and two others were injured on the morning of 10 September when their vehicle rolled on the R59 near Midvaal in Johannesburg South. ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found the light motor vehicle on the side of the road, lying on its roof. On assessment, paramedics found that one man had already succumbed to his severe injuries. Two other men lay inside the wrecked vehicle. Paramedics carefully removed the patients from the vehicle before they could begin their treatment. Once freed from the vehicle, paramedics treated the patients and provided them with advanced life support. The AER24 Helicopter was called in to transport one of the critically injured to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment. The remaining patient was transported to hospital by ambulance for further treatment. The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.

Law enforcer and son locked up On 9 September at the intersection of Ring and Voortekker roads, an intoxicated officer of the law caused havoc by threatening a motorist who nearly fell victim to his erratic and dangerous driving. On investigating the traffic situation with a view to easing the congestion, Metro Police officers from Alberton Precinct were confronted by this seemingly drunk man and his son, who hurled abuse at them and started attacking the Metro Police officers with a baton and their fists. The pair were arrested and charged at Alberton police station. According to witnesses and the victim interviewed on the scene, the intoxicated man in a BMW sedan missed vehicles by inches after running a red light and did not take kindly to being called to order, EMPD spokesn, Wilfred Kgasago said. “He allegedly attacked one of the motorists with an expandable steel baton and one of the motorists apparently removed the BMW keys from the ignition, so the man called his son for the duplicate keys. On the arrival of his son, the man grew more incensed and they both attacked the Metro Police officers who had to

AA does NOT support e-tolls The Automobile Association has taken note of a South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) media statement in which SANRAL spokesperson Vusi Mona made reference to studies conducted by the AA regarding the costs of traffic congestion to the economy. “The AA agrees that traffic congestion has a considerable impact on the effectiveness of the economy,” the AA said. “However, the Association is concerned that reference has been made to its name and views in the context of a SANRAL press statement which promotes e-tolling, a system which the AA has consistently opposed,” the AA added. “This may give rise to uncertainty over the AA’s exact stance,” the Association commented. In 2007, the Association was one of the original objectors to the funding of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement System via tolling. It said that tolling increased the cost to the end-user and concentrated the funding burden on a limited number of citizens. The AA said there were more equitable ways of funding roads which had low or no collection costs, such as taxation and the fuel levy. “References to studies we have done or the mention of the AA’s name by SANRAL spokespeople should not be interpreted to mean that the AA has changed its stance on the issue of how best to fund the roads which need to be built to relieve congestion,” the AA commented.”We wish to re-affirm that we remain opposed to e-tolling,” the Association concluded.

Sharing our heritage
tame TIMES celebrates
Heritage Day
The GCIS (Government Communication and Information System) have launched the Tell Your Story Campaign to get ordinary South Africans to share their stories of what it was like growing up in apartheid South Africa, to consider what change democracy has brought – and to present a vision for the future. This act of sharing allows South Africans a platform to talk about the pain of apartheid, their experience of democracy – and of the South Africa they would like to live in. This is important so that we can move forward as a nation that has documented its history,

Heritage Day
When one thinks of South Africa, one thinks of beautiful landscapes, incredible weather, great people and fantastic food. More than anything else, one thinks of enjoying all the above around a scrumptious braai. It is one heritage common to all South Africans - to gather around fires and braai. It
is the one activity every South African likes to take part in. Join generations of South Africans all around the country and celebrate National Heritage Day by firing up your braai and enjoy making great memories with family and friends.
Braai Ready.
Fire Starter.
Tips for a great fire
Before your planning starts, make sure your braai is in working order and clean for use before the day. If you are looking for a new braai, check out Jetmaster’s extensive range of wood, charcoal, or gas braais at the Jetmaster store at Clearwater Mall or Menlyn Shopping Centre or visit www.jetmaster.co.za.
