Bedfordview Police Station Commander Colonel Sevha Shiburi s t o o d before the learners of Klopperpark Primary School on Wednesday morning last week and addressed them with words of hope. He was among a team o f officials from the Bedfordview area who

visited the school on the day to hand out uniforms and clothes to learners from disadvantaged backgrounds. Other authorities present were from the Ekurhuleni Emergency Services and Metro Police, the Bedfordview Community Policing Forum and the SAPS mounted unit. Representatives from Stellar Transport and AA Diamonds, sponsors of the generous handover, were also present. “I used to go to school with worn-out shoes and torn trousers,” Colonel Shiburi told the learners. “But I am here to tell you I made it. Today I stand in front of you as an overcomer.” Earlier, the strong team of uniformed authorities had driven in convoy to the school, in officially marked vehicles, sirens on and lights flashing in a brilliant display of unity. The tame TIMES had been a part of this electrifying convoy. By the time the procession arrived at the school, the learners were gathered outside in the assembly area, and were singing in unison for the guests. An emotional Mr Ceilan Naidoo, the school principal, explained that the school was a miracle of community effort. He told the story of how it had started in 2000, from the existing Klopperpark Preschool. “The primary school was started with the existing Klopperpark Preschool facilities in place. There were no classrooms, nothing that would make for a respectable primary school. At the time, there was also no nutrition programme for disadvantaged learners. Many of the learners came to school hungry with just water in their stomachs.” He explained how, through partnerships with faith-based organisations, and government, police and NGO officials, the school had become what it is today. Officials addressing the children reminded them to do their schoolwork with their whole hearts, to make only choices which they would be proud of, and to embrace their education, which was the key to overcoming any obstacles to a bright future. “We are here today because every child matters,” said Mr Naidoo.

I recently sat in on an assembly at Bedfordview Primary School. The school’s theme for the month of March was ‘perseverance’ and a video clip relevant to the topic was projected on the screen for the learners. The clip (https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=CxmbmcDrXRk) shows the efforts of a determined pig called Ormie to get a jar of choc chip cookies from off the top of the fridge. The poor thing tries everything to reach the biscuits. In one scene, he ties plungers to his hooves, hoping to walk up the side of the fridge. Of course, everything goes horribly wrong - the fridge doors flap outwards with the pressure from the plungers and he lands up with one plunger stuck over his tail and another over his snout.
24 March 2015
In another scene, he tries to catapult himself to where the biscuits are and ends up being flung far into the distance. In another, he jumps from a plane, kitted out in skydiving equipment, hoping to land on the top of the fridge – to no avail. But he doesn’t give up. He tries everything – rocket propulsion, a trampoline, a trapeze swing, a chainsaw, a fishing rod … Eventually, he collapses against the fridge in exhaustion and the cookie jar tips over, releasing a rainfall of biscuits. He reaches out and grabs one and is about to take a bite out of it, when the jar itself falls down, covering his mouth. Oh dear! Maybe at times you feel a little like Ormie the pig – whether it’s trying to get the service delivery you expect (see page 3), or trying to overcome an addiction (see page 8). Or maybe you’re trying to get your business off the ground in tough times (see page 7). Others have made the same journey as you and have overcome (read Colonel Sevha Shiburi’s encouraging words on page 1). Don’t you dare give up! “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again …” (Proverbs 24 vs 6).

Poor attendance at important meeting
Fewer than 10 Edenvale residents attended a meeting on the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality 2015/2016 budget at the Edenvale Council Chambers on Tuesday last week, despite the meeting having been advertised in various places, online and in print. Councillor Eddie Taylor, DA Shadow Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for finance, briefed Edenvale residents on the budget at the meeting, supported by local ward councillors Heather Hart and Bill Rundle who were ready to answer any questions that
residents might have. “Residents and ratepayers missed a golden opportunity to interrogate how the Metro is spending their money and what service cost increases to expect in the next three years,” said Clr Hart after the meeting. She explained that, according to the Municipal Systems Act, every budget has to be subjected to public participation before final approval. “The usual budget Imbizos are often very poorly attended by Edenvale/ Bedfordview ratepayers,” she said. “Just a few come to voice their opinion or to listen
to what is being said. We held this meeting to give the community the true picture of how the Metro wants to collect and spend money, and to let them engage in intelligent debate if necessary.” “It is a fact today that families have to make decisions on the basis of affordability when it comes to family or for that matter, personal finances,” said Clr Rundle. “Running a home today takes up the biggest chunk of one’s disposable income. This is why it is very important to keep up to date on issues that will affect your cash flow, in this case, the
increased costs in water, electricity, rates and taxes and most other services that the local government structure provides.” He explained that most communities had their own specific needs and these meetings gave residents the opportunity to give their input and state their demands. “Failure to participate is tantamount to writing a blank cheque for the Metro to do as they please.” A meeting enabling further public participation before finalisation of the budget will be held on 16 April.

DRAFT BUDGET UNDER SCRUTINY
COMMITTED: Local ward councillors Bill Rundle and Heather Hart with Councillor Eddie Taylor, DA Shadow Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for finance.
Heather Djunga heather.djunga@tametimes.co.za As much as 34 to 38 percent of Ekurhuleni’s water is “unaccounted for” in official records. This surprising statistic was presented by Councillor Eddie Taylor, DA Shadow Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for finance, at a recent meeting on the 2015/2016 Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality’s proposed budget at the Edenvale Council Chambers on Tuesday last week. Clr Taylor alleged this figure should be well below 30 percent and was a reflection of how much water was being lost through leaks and wastage, caused by the ageing infrastructure. He said the Metro had plans to fix this infrastructure but this was a ten-year project – in the meantime, he said millions were being lost from the Metro’s coffers

through water wastage each year. He said he believed officials needed to treat water leaks the same as they did a fire. “When there is a fire, they despatch firemen immediately and attend to the problem at hand with a sense of urgency.” “The Ekurhuleni Metro is losing in the region of R400 million each year because of water wastage,” he said. He said presently there is a massive shortage of water – one of the reasons water has gone up 14.5% in the draft budget. “Last year, it was estimated this increase would be only 8.1 percent; however Rand Water has increased the costs of bulk water due to the water shortage.” The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality had not provided comment at the time of going to print. *See next week’s tame TIMES for more indepth news on the budget.
Concern over Morninghill robberies Heather Djunga
heather.djunga@tametimes.co.za Police have urged Morninghill residents to remain vigilant following a spate of house robberies in the area. Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesman, said there was a problem with house robberies in the area and that he was aware of four to five incidents which had recently occurred. Among these was an incident in Sugarbush Street, on 12 March, around 11.30am, in which six armed men, one with an AK47, tied up a young man and demanded his valuables. “A resident returned home from the shops and noticed a grey Audi Q5 parked next to his gate,” said Sergeant Nhlabathi. “He used the remote control to open his gate but realised it had been jammed.” He said the Audi had pulled up behind the man, and someone had come out from it, pointing at him with a firearm. “The men exited the vehicle and demanded the man’s keys and watch, taking him inside the house, where they tied him up.” He said the men had demanded to know where the father’s firearm and money were. “He heard them moving up and down the house and then things went quiet. The men had fled the scene with the valuables. The man’s domestic worker then helped to untie him.” These concerns over Morninghill Security were raised at the recent meeting of the Bedfordview Community Policing Forum (BCPF), which was chaired by BCPF chairperson Gavin Henry, where questions were raised as to how the perpetrators were gaining entry into the pristine suburb, which is marked off with boom-gates. Ward 20 councillor Jill Humphreys expressed her concerns that a boom-gate was not sufficient to secure the area, as many of the crimes had involved ‘gangs’ of perpetrators,

in some instances, carrying AK47s. “The community needs to work together with police officials to alleviate crime in the area.” Organising a security meeting for Morninghill residents was discussed, and Clr Humphreys said she wanted this initiative to come from the community - as authorities needed their willing cooperation as far as crime prevention in the area was concerned. It was suggested the community employ a system similar to that of the Bedfordview Residents’ Action Group-monitored area, whereby special vehicles were deployed consistently to comb the area for crime. Such a system has been effective in keeping the crime in the RAG area under control. A local nursery school in the area also informed the tame TIMES they were increasing security measures following the threat of crime in the area, and would be demanding that special identity stickers be carried on the vehicles of caregivers and parents before they were allowed on to the nursery school premises. Sergeant Nhlabathi said residents needed to stay alert and follow basic safety precautions, such as keeping security gates locked, and alarm systems activated. “A household was robbed when the doors were left open for the dogs and cats. Don’t make it easy for the perpetrators to enter. Also, when you come home from the shops, make sure that you aren’t being followed and if you suspect this is the case, drive to the nearest police station.” He said the police had identified shortcomings in the security of the area and residents needed to be especially vigilant on rubbish collection days, when employing gardening services and around construction sites. “We have identified positive leads and are working on these.” He said he wanted the perpetrators to know: “We know who you are and we are coming for you.”

YOUR WORLD THIS WEEK Dutch man threatens to urinate on artworks
CELEBRATES HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
Artist Rob van Koningsbruggen was banned from Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art after he threatened to urinate on works, including those by South African born artist, Marlene Dumas. A two-and-a-half-year feud between Van Koningsbruggen and the museum was sparked when Van Koningsbruggen was allegedly left off the invitation list to attend the
museum’s grand reopening after a facelift. A few days before the reopening he allegedly wrote an email to the museum, threatening to urinate on the artworks, which his attorneys countered with a claim that Van Koningbruggen’s comments were meant as satire and his sense of humour was misinterpreted as anger. www.artnetnews.com
PUTIN L AUGHS OFF RUMOURS Human Rights Day is linked with 21 March 1960 and the events of Sharpeville. According to www.parliament.gov.za, on that day 69 people died and 180 were wounded when police fired on a peaceful crowd that had gathered to protest against the pass laws. It was more than a protest against the pass laws of the apartheid regime. It was an affirmation by common people, rising in unison to proclaim their rights, and it became an iconic date in South Africa’s troubled history. The Sharpeville massacre is regarded by many as the defining moment in South Africa’s struggle for liberation. info: www.parliament.co.za, photo: www.coolipadwallpapers.com
Russian President Vladimir Putin made his first public appearance in 11 days on 16 March. He laughed off speculation about his health and told Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev in St Petersburg that life would be boring without gossip. He cancelled a number of scheduled events, including a visit to Kazakhstan that was due to take place on 12 and 13 March, as well as the signing of an agreement with South Ossetia. Upon his return to the limelight, he ordered the northern fleet of the Russian navy to conduct a massive combat readiness exercise. www.theindependent.com
20 KILLED IN TUNIS SIEGE At least 20 people were killed at the Bardo National Museum in Tunisia on 18 March after two gunmen stormed in, sparking a three-hour siege and hostage situation. According to Tunisian Prime Minister, Habib Essid, at least 44 people of various nationalities were wounded, including two South Africans. The attack happened a day after Tunisia announced a major seizure of weapons from jihadi groups,
AIRA SIA SEARCH CALLED OFF
Rescuers called off the search for the remaining passengers of Flight QZ8501 on 17 March, almost three months after the Airbus A320-200 went down in stormy weather on its way to Singapore, killing all 162 people on board. The international search, which included ships and aircraft from several nations, has been scaled back in recent weeks, with only a small number of new bodies found. A total of 106 bodies have been recovered, the last three found over the weekend of 14 March. www.news24.com
triggering speculation that the museum attack might have been launched in revenge, The Guardian reported. Mounting anxiety that jihadi violence is spilling over Tunisia’s border from the neighbouring country, Libya, caused troops to be deployed on the Libyan border to intercept what the authorities believe are terrorist groups bringing in men and equipment. www.theguardian.com
Six killed by lightning
Six people died and five were injured when they were struck by lightning on the N8 about 20km outside Botshabelo. The men, aged between 20 and 40, are construction workers who took shelter from the rain in a structure close by. The five who sustained minor injuries were treated on the scene by ER24 paramedics and other services and transported to a local hospital. www.er24.com

South Africa finally seems to shaken off the choking monkey on their backs during the pool stages of every Cricket World Cup series by winning their first ever knockout match at a World Cup. Captain AB de Villiers boldly declared on 17 March that they would not be choking in the quarter-final match the following day. Thanks to an incredible team effort, this prediction came true. Dale Steyn was back to being fast and furious, Imran Tahir and JP Duminy were exceptional in their execution and Quinton de Kock looked like the player he was before the ankle injury that nearly ruled him out of the World Cup. JP Duminy’s haul included a hat-trick, three for 29. Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first, leaving the Proteas chasing just 134 to win. The Proteas reached their target in the 18th over, trashing Sri Lanka with nine wickets and 32 overs to spare. South Africa headed to Eden Park, Auckland for the semi-final match against New Zealand, taking place today (24 March), placing the Proteas one step closer to World Cup victory. However, this World Cup has been ‘’more unpredictable than most women’’ according to journalist Michael Mentz. The quarter-final victory has united South Africa like only sport can, but the nation should wait before they place the champagne on ice for the finals taking place on 29 March.
Health activists worldwide swear by the benefits of walking as a means to get fit and improve overall health. The Modderfontein Conservation Society offers the community the chance to walk in the tranquil beauty of the Modderfontein Nature Reserve area in the company of good friends and nature lovers.

the first Saturday of every month. For the month of April, a Walk in the Reserve will be held every Tuesday, from 8am, as well as on Saturday, 11 April, from 8.30am, and Sunday, 26 April, from 7.30am. A bird walk will be held on the first Saturday of the month.
