candace.king@tametimes.co.za Concerned Johannesburg South resident Hilary Weed is fed up with sewage water seeping into her place of residence. In an unresolved matter that has been going on for nine years, sewage water is flooding the back of the Rockridgeview complex on Soutpansberg Drive in Oakdene. The residential property is located on a koppie
recently tested and the results showed that there is a high volume of E. coli bacteria in the water – this can then only mean that there has to be a leaking sewer connection somewhere on the property,” explains Weed, who is also the current Chairman of the Rockridgeview Body Corporate. She adds that the complex’s sewage pipes run out at the front of the property. “I highly suspect that the flooding sewage water is running
I highly suspect that the flooding sewage water is running from the United Cerebral Palsy Children’s Home situated above the complex at the top of the koppie with a steep gradient rising behind it, so the sewage water seems to be coming from the top of the koppie, as it is running down the back of the complex. For several years, Weed has been trying to get the sewage water problem curbed via all possible avenues; however, the Council has failed to fix it. “This has been going on for years and I am being shoved from pillar to post and no one wants to sort it out,” she says. Weed told tame TIMES that several teams from the municipality have come to the complex to inspect the water. “They are quick to arrive, but leave even sooner. They simply won’t address the problem,” urges Weed. Some teams from the municipality have stated that it’s merely spring water. “The water was
from the United Cerebral Palsy Children’s Home situated above the complex at the top of the koppie,” says Weed. “The water is on municipal property – as far as I know the line stops where the rocks start,” she says. “Really, when does this become my mess and not the municipality’s? Can they not run a camera from the top and see if there is a crack? Maybe the pipe they ‘fixed’ hasn’t even been fixed or not fixed properly. It is not acceptable!” she adds. Amidst the mess, Weed would like to thank Andrew Kruger from the City of Johannesburg as well as DA Councillor of Ward 56 Dennis Jane for their efforts in assisting in the matter. tame TIMES will be continue to follow this story as new developments unfold.

Orlando Children’s Home receives school supplies
Waterstone College win at KES to take the Johnny Waite B Section title
After a thrilling final against King Edward VII School (KES), Waterstone College became the youngest school to win the Johnny Waite Shield. The youthful team defeated St Stithians in the semi-finals and Trinityhouse in the quarters, before taking on favourites KES in the final which took place on 18 February. The team from the South batted first and struggled to reach 97/9 in their 20 overs against some tight and accurate bowling. Star batsman Codi Yusuf, who scored 63 off just 33 balls in the semi-final, was unable to do the same here, but a late partnership of 42 between Kyle McClean (28) and Jarod
Jardine (12) at least set KES a target. After an aggressive and positive start, the KES batsmen were strangled in the middle overs by spin twins Keagan Malan (4-3-10) and Jarryd van Eeden (4-2-10), with Yusuf taking the final wicket as KES fell 20 runs short. The Shield completed a hat-trick of recent titles for Waterstone, following victories in the 50over Johannesburg Schools Cricket League A Section in both the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons.

On Thursday 12 February the Orlando Children’s Home received a donation of 4046 items of stationery and uniforms in order to assist its children to go back to school with dignity and take their futures into their own hands. The handover followed the Back to School Swop Shop hosted by Southgate Mall from 16 January to 1 February where shoppers could donate new or used uniforms, backpacks, books and other stationery to assist the learners who could not afford the necessary items. “The love that you have shown makes us truly and honestly delighted; thank you for thinking of Orlando Children’s Home and for each and every person who has been part of this,” says Mirriam Mazibuko, Director of the Orlando Children’s Home. “This drive
promoted the spirit of helping and giving amongst our children, while giving them confidence, which will impact our children’s academic performance throughout the entire year.” Southgate Mall takes this opportunity to thank the Johannesburg South community and beyond for their generosity and support of this successful initiative. Southgate Mall continues to keep a finger on the pulse of its community’s wellbeing and will launch a special Maths Learning Centre called NuMiracle in April 2015, which it is envisaged will bolster and ignite the love of mathematics at high school level for the learners who will be selected for this programme.

PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
LOBBYING FOR LAND REFORM
Neil Gopal, Chief Executive Officer of SAPOA The South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) has raised concerns over South African President Jacob Zuma’s announcement during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday 12 February 2015 regarding restrictions on foreign land ownership. During President Zuma’s SONA to a joint sitting of Parliament, he stated that land ownership by foreigners will be prohibited. The President’s statement raises concern about the possible impact on foreign land ownership of property companies, game farms as well as foreign investments in hotels in South Africa. “Foreigners will not be allowed to own land in South Africa,” said President Zuma. He added that foreigners would instead be eligible for long-term leases. “In this regard, the Regulation of Land Holdings Bill will be submitted to Parliament this year,” he noted. President Zuma said more than 36,000 land claims had been lodged nationally, with a cut-off date of 2019. “We are also exploring the 50/50 policy framework, which proposes relative rights for people who live and work on farms,” commented the President, “50 farming enterprises will be identified as a pilot project.” In light of South Africa’s coastline characterised by high-value properties owned by foreigners, the ANC’s land reform proposals will have a significant effect on the property industry – currently an estimated 7% of land in South Africa is owned by foreigners. The ANC’s proposed reforms regarding land ownership is a great concern, believes SAPOA. The ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe said last month that there should be “a ceiling on land ownership.” Mantashe said that if legislation were
passed, “its application retrospectively is an issue which will be tested constitutionally. The government must pass the law and test it constitutionally. It must comply with constitutional requirement.” “The ANC has committed that land will be returned to our people and the government must move with the necessary speed to put legislation in place to effect this,” said Mantashe. “The implementation of such a policy would reduce foreign investor confidence in South Africa, affecting the economy as a whole,” highlights Neil Gopal, Chief Executive Officer of SAPOA. “The issue of land reform proposals in South Africa is nothing new,” he says. “As the issue escalates, it has the potential to hamper investor confidence in the country and curb foreign direct investment flows. Foreign investment in property boasts benefits for the commercial property industry, and with such proposals put forward, the industry falls prey to negative knock-on effects,” adds Gopal. SAPOA feels that the change in policy is not justified. “South Africa’s property market is best served by a policy framework which offers investors certainty of land tenure, the promotion of domestic and foreign investment and which supports the allocation of land to its highest and best use on a sustainable basis,” explains Gopal. “While we support initiatives to redress the injustices of the past in a balanced manner, we don’t believe such land reforms will be positive as the policy is discriminatory and will most likely impede foreign direct investment and job creation,” adds Gopal. Adding to the existing concerns regarding land ownership, SAPOA is simultaneously concerned about the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) and how the implementation thereof will function alongside the current proposed land reforms. SAPOA is eagerly lobbying for the implementation of Section 60 of SPLUMA which will solve the backlog of property development projects that have been halted. More than R12-billion in property projects nationally across the board are being held up due to the holdup of certain provisions of Section 60 of SPLUMA. “I don’t believe that the Deeds Registries are in any position to provide reliable or accurate information on the actual extent of foreign land ownership in South Africa. Until we know this, one cannot implement policy changes,” says Gopal. “We would like to engage with government with the view of jointly finding solutions to this matter,” concludes Gopal.

Fikile Mbalula has risen to a new level of cool, some may say. The Sport and Recreation Minister is already known for rubbing shoulders with celebrities such as US singer Brandy, but has now set his own bar higher after hooking up with rap mogul P Diddy. Mbalula attended the NBA All Star Weekend – an event that sees the likes of musicians Rihanna, Jay-Z and Beyoncé on the guest list. The Minister spent time with Floyd “Money” Mayweather and P Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, at the function, of which a splash of pictures was uploaded onto his Instagram account. He captioned one of his photos: “Bye-bye New York, it was great super rawkus. See u soon sun Jo’burg is calling #hastalavista (sic)”. (iol.co.za)

KAMANGA THE KO KING Professional boxer and personal trainer Paul “The Natural” Kamanga has been labelled a young boxing legend – the up-and-coming super lightweight was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raised in the South of Johannesburg in Linmeyer and schooled at The Hill High School. Sponsored by Studio 88, Kamanga is being trained by former professional fighter Anton “Irish Terrier” Gilmore, who honed Kamanga from being a street fighter to an all-round boxing pro. At the tender age of 21, Kamanga has become a jabbing force to be reckoned with, boasting several boxing achievements under his belt. He is a champion of the World Boxing Association Pan African junior welterweight belt title. His next big fight will take place in mid-April.
