“Women’s World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women, men and children of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer on the first Friday in March each year. This involves more than 176 countries. South Africa has been part of observing this movement for 85 years now,” said Chaplain Manganye. “Every year a different country is responsible for the compiling of the programme to be used on the day. This year it was the responsibility of The Bahamas. Each country has its own World Day of Prayer CHAPLAIN: Fredolene Manganye Committee, which adapts the programme to
speak to the needs of each individual country. As Manager Spiritual Care, I thought it befitting to observe this day, even after the first Friday, because the whole month of March is still International Women’s Month. This became a regional event, as the Regional Commissioner then gave approval for all Management Areas in Gauteng to become a part of the day. Our team also invited the following sister departments: SANDF, SAPS, JMPD and EMPD, as well as churches in the surrounding areas.” “The theme for this year is ‘Do you know what I have done to you?’ based on the Scripture from John 13:1-17.” The event was held at the NG Kerk in Boksburg.

ACDP: why is
Eskom Minimising
reducing experienced apartheid suffering white engineers?
17 March 2015
EDITOR
Opinion piece by Felicity Hawthorne
Eskom’s recent decision to reduce the number of white engineers by 1 081 and white artisans by 2 179 has met with some serious criticism. ACDP President and Boksburg resident, Rev Kenneth Meshoe, said last week, “We question the logic of such a decision that will impact negatively on and hamper economic growth - this with our businesses already losing profits due to sporadic load-shedding.” “Previous Eskom reports indicated that the entity has a maintenance backlog of three to four years which will require many skilled individuals to address. The ACDP believes it is unwise to let go of experienced engineers who are well positioned to help address this maintenance backlog.” “The ACDP calls on Eskom to reconsider this decision and use all available engineers to address this backlog so that we do not experience nation-wide blackouts.” “We further call on government not to allow their obsession with race to cloud their common sense, but to allow all experienced engineers, regardless of colour, to help solve our electricity crisis.”
Human Rights Day Remember the past and celebrate the future on Human Rights Day
Human Rights Day (21 March) was officially declared a public holiday in 1994 following the inauguration of former president Nelson Mandela. This national day off is both a stark reminder of the tragic Sharpeville massacre and a celebration of South Africa’s unique constitution, which gives equal rights to all. THE SHARPEVILLE MASSACRE On Monday 21 March in 1960 police opened fire on a crowd that had gathered at the Sharpeville station to protest pass laws, stipulations that required Africans to carry books and produce them for law enforcement officials on request; 69 unarmed people were killed and another 180 were injured. While little is known about what really sparked this tragic event, Joe Tlholoe, one of the nation’s most acclaimed journalists who was a high school pupil at the time, recalled that the Pan Africanist Congress – under the leadership of Robert Sobukwe – appealed to all African men to take a stand against such a humiliating law, leave their pass books (also known as the dompas) at home, go to their nearest police station and demand to be incarcerated for not carrying the demeaning document. The police then, upon seeing the masses of people marching, opened fire on the crowd in a state of fear. Today, the South African constitution protects individual rights, like the right to move freely without a pass book, with its inclusion of the Bill of Rights (only a supermajority of Parliament can influence any changes to the bill), and citizens are entitled to basic human dignity and more in the country’s current democracy.

Apartheid destroyed lives and futures, and petty apartheid was demeaning and dehumanising. I remember walking home from school in 1971 as a little white girl of eight, carrying a small brown school-case and wearing my regulation straw-hat. The route my parents had shown me passed the train station and every day I read the signs above the three separate ticket offices from left to right: “Whites/ Blankes,” “Kleurlinge/Coloureds” and “Blacks/Swartes.” For me, even at that age, this clearly and unequivocally denoted a hierarchy of social status that was set in stone. I wondered what it was like to be a black woman queuing for a train ticket. Like all the white South Africans of my generation, I grew up having privileged access to movies, parks, restaurants, beaches, hospitals, trains, buses, libraries, even the Post Office. I received an excellent government education at a cost to my parents of only R17 a term; I had full citizenship and the right to vote when I turned 18; I was socially respected, never subjected to racial slurs or insults and could move freely about South Africa without a pass-book. My family owned property in the 87% of the country’s land that was White – I was not expected to share a tiny corner of a Bantustan in the 13% of the country’s land that was Black. So, it is strange to hear now that there is a campaign called Boycott Divest Sanctions (BDS) to label Israel an apartheid state. It is also sad, because it is a campaign that is 100% negative; and unjust, because it minimises the suffering of black South Africans under apartheid. In Israel, Arabs and Jews share hospitals and buses, restaurants and schools. There are also Arab judges, soldiers and Members of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament); and the Israeli Proclamation of Independence declares that Israel will “ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex.” On Sunday 8 March, outside the SA/Israel Expo at the Sandton Convention Centre, a group of 300 to 400 Boycott Divest Sanctions (BDS) activists, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) members and a few non-Zionist Jewish demonstrators gathered to protest against the expo. A security guard who witnessed them said they claimed that they were not against Jewish people, but against Israel. According to a news24 report which featured footage supplied by the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, “Supporters of Israel trying to attend the SA – Israel exhibition had to be escorted through the crowd by police, while chants of ‘go back to your land’ and ‘we will kill you’ can also be heard.” [http://www.news24.com/Live/SouthAfrica/News/WATCH-AntiIsreal-protest-in-Joburg-turns-ugly-20150311] On Wednesday 4 March, DEISI (Defend Embrace Invest Support Israel) President Rev Kenneth Meshoe was heckled and intimidated at Wits University while addressing a crowd on why Israel is not an apartheid state. The day before that, reported the Times of Israel, Palestinian human rights activist Bassem Eid was prevented from completing a lecture at the University of Johannesburg by protesters “associated with the BDS movement in South Africa.” For this attack on freedom of expression to happen only 21 years into our new democracy without an outcry from our local media speaks volumes. Have we already forgotten the era of forced removals, censorship and detention without trial?
I often wonder if we truly treasure life, or if we only feel our own is important. The other night I was on my way to have an evening out, playing some pool. We passed a homeless beggar. But unlike the usual thing you’d expect from a beggar, standing and trying to beg for some money, he was just sitting on the island next to the road. I had to call him to get the money I had in my hand for him. He stood up, grateful, but as we drove off I had the image of this man sitting next to the road, hopeless and tired. He seemed extremely tired and downtrodden. Although I offered this man some money for him to buy some food, I still felt powerless. This made me think: how much do we truly treasure life? Do we understand that life was created as one unit, and although we are individuals, that relationships are what make us whole? And these relationships are not only those with my family or friends, but all those who possess this which makes us similar - life. The struggle for human rights was not only a cause for the right of people to have a right; it was also for us to understand that regardless of the race, gender and economic status of a person, we should respect the gift of life and understand that it is only through that gift that any other right is needed. I think we as a society are striving for better, but in the process leave the best behind - each other. Let us truly care again...

Man killed by train On Tuesday 10 March, a 32-year-old man was killed when he was hit by a train at Angelo Station in Boksburg. According to Lieutenant Ngobese, spokesperson for the Boksburg Police Station, at around 7:30am a man disembarked from a train travelling from Johannesburg to Springs at the Angelo Station, where he waited to board
another train. When the marshals at the station approached the man, he jumped from the platform and ran across the railway tracks. As the man crossed the tracks, he allegedly slipped and was hit by an oncoming train. The reason why the man ran from the marshals could not be determined, but it is speculated that the deceased man could have been travelling

illegally, without a train ticket, and attempted to escape the marshals by running across the tracks. According to William Ntladi, spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni Emergency Services, paramedics arrived on the scene and found a man under the train. The man was declared dead on the scene.
FREE FROM THE SKY
ADVERTORIAL
Most South Africans obtain their water from dams that are generally remote from where the concentration of users are. This leads to expensive pipelines, pumping costs and high maintenance requirements over great distances at rates not sustainable into the future. Additionally, household water consumption per capita is increasing and the population is growing. Thus new ways must be found to reduce, reuse and store water. National Water Week, 16 – 22 March, culminating in #WorldWaterDay on March 22, offers an opportunity to reconsider the value of water and the need for sustainable management of this scarce resource. It is also the right time to reassess rainwater harvesting as one of the prime solutions. Rainwater harvesting is simple and easy and offers huge advantages. To consumers it offers self sufficiency in water supply and the convenience of not being dependent on remote water sources. To the environment it offers a reduction in flooding and erosion caused by covered and sealed surfaces. Rod Cairns, Managing Director of JoJo Tanks, believes that a water secure world is a joint responsibility and that every South African should invest in some sort of system to save water. “We live in a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464mm (compared to a world average of about 860mm). Furthermore, rain tends to be concentrated in certain areas and does
not fall consistently throughout the year,” says Cairns. “These facts, combined with increasing pressures on water resources and infrastructures in South Africa and worldwide, indicate that there may simply not be enough water to meet our future needs and the need to save water will be forced upon us. We need to think of rainwater harvesting as part of a sustainable water strategy. With water prices under pressure to sustain infrastructures and water interruptions recurring more often, rainwater harvesting systems offer significant benefits including convenience, water security and value,” he adds. Although our first step should always be to reduce the amount of water we use, our next step should be to look at replacing the high quality drinking water we use for low grade uses such as toilet flushing, irrigation, household cleaning and car washing, by installing rainwater harvesting tanks. JoJo Tanks would like to encourage all citizens to adopt a water conservation approach that is a combination of reducing the amount of water used, being sensitive to the many competing demands placed on this fragile resource and most importantly, to supplement non-potable water usage with rainwater that is free from the sky. Concludes Cairns, “Water is the lifeblood of the planet. To conserve it we need to shift our reliance from centralised water supply lines to decentralised rainwater harvesting at point of use – a more robust, resilient and planet-
friendly approach. Collecting rainwater from our own roofs may eventually be the only
way of ensuring an adequate water supply during droughts.”

CRISIS CENTRE FUN DAY AND MODELLING SHOW On Saturday 7 March, the Community Crisis Centre held their fundraising fun day at the Reiger Park Secondary School grounds. There were food stalls and jumping castles, and even the Ekurhuleni Metro Police choir entertained the crowd with some melodious tunes; but the highlights of the day were definitely the Mr and Miss Reiger Park Teen modelling show and the dance competition. Both experienced and novice models took to the catwalk to strut their stuff, with categories ranging from babies to 21 years in the modelling competition. The dancers had the crowd screaming at the top of their voices, clapping along and moving their bodies as they enjoyed the talent they displayed with their creative moves. The judges – Nicolette Jacobs, Clinton Solomon, Asanda Luwanca and Courtney Arendt – had a very difficult task in choosing the best from the different modelling categories, but in the end their decisions per category found favour with the crowd. The overall winner in the boys’ category was Evan Krause; and Bodean Peters was crowned the overall women’s winner. OVERALL WINNERS: Evan Krause and Bodean Peters

Soccer star in the making By Bianca Mare’ Former Reiger Parker, 9-year-old Duane Bennett, son of Clyde and Ruchenda Bennett, a learner at Freeway Park Primary School, is one of twelve boys who have been selected to represent the South African Rand United Team in the Netherlands at the Robin van Persie International Tournament at the end of May this year, where they will be competing against youth academies from Germany, England, Belgium and Holland. Not only do they have an opportunity to meet and interact with Manchester United’s world renowned striker, Van Persie, but they also have a chance to
showcase their skills with a possibility of being selected to play for his junior team. Duane has previously been selected by Manchester City School of Football as a junior player, featured on their poster, met the former South African soccer coach Clive Barker and hopes some day to represent his country internationally, as well as to be the best midfielder our country has ever seen. Grassroots is giving these boys a great opportunity to display and enhance their skills on an international level by empowering the young men to pursue their dreams. Not only has Duane’s gift made room for him to travel internationally, but it has also
placed him one step closer to fulfilling his dream of becoming like his hero Lionel Messi. He does, however, need financial help and sponsorship to make his dream come true. If anyone wishes to assist this young resident of Boksburg to realise his dream and add to the stars from your community, you can contact the following people: Mr Clyde Bennet - 083 562 0405 Mrs Ruchenda Bennett - 076 597 532 Email me @ biancamare39@yahoo.com

JOGGING CAN BE FUN
By Palesa Yates Jogging can be fun – once you have overcome the initial discomfort of getting fit. After a few weeks, when you no longer sound like a steam-train, look like a beetroot or feel the pain of a stitch in your sides, you can enjoy the wind on your cheeks as you fly downhill or experience the sunrise in a whole new way. The health benefits, though there are many – stress relief, weight control, better sleeping, improved digestion, cardiovascular fitness, increased muscle tone, stronger bones – will no longer be your primary motivation for putting on tekkies. The birds will sing for you, the sun will rise for you and the road will call your name. Here are a few hints and tips to get you there: Put safety first It is always wise to have a medical check-up before starting an exercise programme. Jogging is dangerous for some. After personal health risks, however, motorists are the greatest danger on the road for joggers. Wear bright and/ or reflective clothing, run facing oncoming traffic, listen for vehicles, never run outside with ear-phones and always watch out for the odd drunk driver making his or her way home at 5 or 6 in the morning. Ladies, choose routes where there are people and avoid places that provide good ambush spots for potential attackers, like streets lined with trees or bushes. Greet everyone, thank motorists who give way to you and never wear large items of jewellery or display cellphones or iPods. Avoid running in the dark – missing manhole-covers can do grievous bodily harm. Unlike popstar Madonna, we cannot all afford to hire bodyguards, but jogging in a group offers substantial protection. Stay alert and scan the road in front of you. This way you
can change your route suddenly to avoid a suspiciouslooking person. Tell somebody exactly where you are going and when you expect to be back. Carrying any weapon other than pepper-spray or a set of keys strategically protruding from between your fingers is probably not a good idea, because your Taser could be used on you. Your best defence may be to throw sand in an attacker’s eyes and run like crazy. Buy good shoes, drink enough water and protect yourself from the sun. Your running shoes should be your most expensive pair. The first step is the hardest Take it – soon. Enjoy yourself Running should be pleasant, not a punishment. New Year’s resolutions should last beyond 2 January, so always leave enough juice in your legs for tomorrow’s workout. Make exercise a habit It has been said that a new habit takes three weeks to form. Exercise on the hottest, coldest, wettest and windiest days and this will give you the courage to hit the road every other day. Fight boredom Join a club, find a jogging buddy or just observe your surroundings. Palesa has encountered many interesting things while out jogging, including a three-legged dog, a car that had just lost a wheel, and a cyclist with two small dogs on leads. Once, she came across a driver who had just rolled his car on a pavement claiming that he had “had a little too much to drink.” Needless to say, the paramedics in attendance did not believe him. Relax Let your arms swing. Remember, however hard the road or high the hill, you will definitely feel extremely good after your run.
