Johannesburg Emergency Services. Twice-daily queues of residents holding buckets became a common sight in Delmas Street, South Hills the past week. Since Friday 19 September to 26 September, these residents did not have water, because of the problems Rand Water experienced at their pump sites, which resulted in water not flowing into the reservoirs at the normal rate. The Eikenhof pump site provides water to the South Hills reservoir, which in turn supplies all the above areas.
Last Tuesday over 40 residents of Linmeyer and the surrounding areas gathered in Michael Street, Linmeyer to voice their concerns to several news stations. Among these was the placement of the water tanker at the water tower in South Hills, which made it very difficult for residents, especially pensioners, to transport buckets of water back to their homes.

Waiting for water CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Fortunately these complaints were heard, and another tanker was brought to Risana Road. Two questions constantly on the lips of disgruntled residents, however, were “Why were we not warned before?” and “What are their back-up plans in times of crisis?” Other complaints were that vagrants and non-residents took advantage of the water tankers, emptying them quickly; and that the water from the tanker had a bad odour, raising suspicions that the tanker was not cleaned before being filled with water. Ralf Bittkau, DA spokesperson for water, joined the residents’
protest and explained that the problem did not lie with Joburg Water but rather with Rand Water, as their pump stations were not working due to a faulty transformer, which meant that water could not be pumped to residents’ homes. “There is water - the problem is just getting the water to the people,” Bittkau said. He added that it had been said that it would take City Power 14 days to replace the faulty transformer. Bittkau said that Rand Water felt it had no responsibility towards the people and was passing the buck on to Johannesburg Water. When tame TIMES phoned Justice Mohale from Rand Water, he declined to answer
the questions posed, as the Minister of Water and Sanitation, Ms Nomvula Mokonyane, was on her way to visit Rand Water Central Depot. Thereafter he was not available for comment. According to a Department of Water Affairs media release, however, “The Rand Water Board has reported that the main
cause of the interruptions could be pinned down to the ageing infrastructure, vandalism as well as power supply shortage to pump water upstream into reservoirs to supply the affected communities.” The water finally came on at 14:00 this past Saturday.
FEEDBACK: Ralf Bittkau, DA spokesperson for water, explains the situation to residents.
Community included in Heritage Day celebration Laurelle Williams
laurelle@tametimes.co.za
The community of Ward 57 was invited to a Heritage Day celebration on 24 September by Clr Fay Chame. The recently elected councillor told tame TIMES that she wanted to include the community in her celebration as she recently became the ward councillor and really wants to create a true sense of community in her ward. The event took place at South Rand Recreation Centre. Community members
had a chance to speak about their different cultures; various dance groups from the suburbs that fall into Ward 57 showcased their dancing skills; the youth took part in a modelling competition and Linda Kok from Moffatview CPF explained to everyone what measures are being taking to keep the area safe. The MC for the event was Labelz D’glamore. Clr Chame catered for 300 residents with
the help of generous sponsorships from Pick ‘n Pay Steeldale, Sunrise Sweets, Meatco, Aggie’s Bakery and Moffatview CPF.
HOSTS: Clr Fay Chame and Labelz D’glamore
MODEL: One of the modelling contestants.

Stand firm for what you believe in
I would just like to thank the readers who personally sent emails with kind comments regarding last week’s column. I am very privileged to be able to write openly about my faith and belief in Jesus Christ and the way I see it is that I have been blessed with this platform and will use it to the best of my ability to share the love I receive from my Friend Jesus. If that is my one and only purpose in life - to spread the good news - I am okay with that and I will serve my Father faithfully. However, this past week an obstacle was placed in my way, when I was told my expression of faith offends people. According to my human nature, this hurt me deeply, firstly, because it is a great honour and privilege that I can share my faith and give God the glory He deserves. Secondly, if I offended someone I would have appreciated it if they could have come and told me personally, as Matthew 18:15 reads, “If a brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” How can I fix my faults or avoid offending someone if I don’t know what I have done wrong? My Home Group leader said that if I am doing something that is not of Christ, the Holy Spirit will prompt me and show me and once again I welcome that, as the last thing I want to do is to be a bad ambassador for Christ. However, God is still - and always will be – good, as in these situations He prepares you for what is coming. On Monday I experienced Nianell performing her latest songs from her album Just Be and I urge people who like inspirational music to buy this CD as it is beautiful, truthful and speaks to the soul. The song Just Be says: “So be the miracle you want to see, be all the love you want to feel, and make it real - see the magic of what you can be, and believing is what will set you free, free to be who you are meant to be.” Each song is a constant reminder to stand firm for what I believe in. I do not say that I have it all figured out and that I do not have faults of my own – as, if I were perfect, I would not need Christ in my life. I have many faults and I invite Christ into my life to fix these faults and change me for His purposes. In the end, it does not matter who shares the good news of Jesus Christ as long as someone is sharing it.

Is this E. coli Bacterium? Upgrade of Moffatview
SAPS is needed
FOAMY WATER: What the Molotswana stream looked liked two week ago Residents of Chelverton Avenue, Mondeor woke up to a terrible stench on 22 September and when they took a closer look at the Molotswana stream that runs through the same street - it was covered with foam. “The pollution in and around this stream is unacceptable. This stream flows into the Klipriver Nature Reserve,” a frustrated resident said. The same resident told tame TIMES, “Last year in August I contracted the E. coli after we had a picnic next to the Bloubosspruit in the Nature Reserve. I was admitted to hospital and was extremely sick. I didn’t have any contact with the water. We only had a picnic next to the river on the grass in the Reserve. On 10 August 2012 it was announced on MNet’s KYKNET that E. coli has been found in the Klipriver. We immediately alerted my doctor in Mondeor that the bacterium is in the Klipriver Nature Reserve.” The resident is concerned as many people, including school learners and residents have contact with this stream and the Klipriver. “The Gr R to Gr 3 learners from Hartford College regularly have a clean-up in this stream. Who is going to take responsibility if one of these kids contracts the E. coli?” The resident added that there is not even one frog or crab in the stream. “Where are the small fish that once were found in this stream?” tame TIMES requested comment from Joburg City Parks. Jenny Moodley of JHB City Parks said, “We will have to refer the request to JHB Water and the CoJ’s Environmental Department for comment.” tame TIMES has done this and is awaiting comment. Morné Brits-Chairman of Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve Association was also asked for comment. His response has been received
and will be published next week. What is E. coli ? *Sourced from www.medicalnewstoday. co.za. Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, is a bacterium that is commonly found in the gut of endotherms (warm-blooded organisms). Several types of E. coli exist as part of the normal flora of the human gut and have many beneficial functions, such as the production of vitamin K2. They also prevent harmful bacteria, known as pathogenic bacteria, from establishing themselves in the intestine. Most E. coli strains pose no harm to human health, except for serotype O157:H7, which can cause food poisoning in humans and can become life-threatening.The patient will typically experience symptoms within three to four days after being exposed to the bacteria; however, in some cases they may appear within a day or a week later. INFECTED individualS may HAVE: • Abdominal pain - typically, the first symptom is severe abdominal cramping that comes on suddenly. • Diarrhea - a few hours after sudden abdominal pains, the patient typically has watery diarrhea. A day later there may be bright red bloody stools, caused by sores in the intestines. • Nausea • Vomiting - note that many patients who become ill may not vomit • Fever - note that many infected people may not have a fever • Fatigue - diarrhoea causes loss of fluids and electrolytes (dehydration), making the patient feel sick and tired.
Residents who fall in the Moffatview SAPS policing precinct feel that the police station situated at 75 Outspan Road, Moffatview needs to be renovated and made bigger. “The station is just too small and cannot accommodate all the residents that fall in the precinct. The residents, and especially the criminals, are not taking the station seriously due to this - and this doesn’t help as the station has already been labelled due to some officers being crooked and taking bribes from drug dealers and prostitutes,” a resident told tame TIMES. He added that, although certain detectives and officers are trying their best, their efforts are not being seen. When tame TIMES asked Moffatview SAPS management if there are any plans to make the station bigger, the response was, “Yes, the Provincial Office is in the process of making plans.” However, no date was given.
Laurelle Williams laurelle@tametimes.co.za
The station was first a satellite station but became a fully fledged station in April 2012. Currently, it has 108 police officers who are originally from different units at other stations, although most of them came from Booysens SAPS. Colonel Mfanangana Shadrack Khoza heads up the station as Station Commander, with 28 loyal years to the police force under his belt. According to the resident who spoke to tame TIMES, “The station needs a new Client Service Centre, new cells and proper offices, not the rent-a-homes that are now being used, and at least another 20 SAPS officers should be employed there.” There are several prefab offices at the back of the permanent building like the ones used at Booysens SAPS station. “If Mondeor SAPS station can get a renovation, why can’t Moffatview also get one?” the resident asked.

Khoza joined the police in 1986 at Hammanskraal College. He was posted to Brixton SAPS as a student and promoted to the rank of Constable in the same year. In1990 he became Sergeant Khoza and, in 1993, a Warrant Officer (Inspector). He served at Brixton for 12 years, then became a Captain and was transferred to Alexandra SAPS. In 2000 he was promoted to Superintendent level (Lt Colonel) and was placed at Sandton SAPS as Head of Vispol. In 2005 he became Colonel Khoza and in 2009 he was transferred to Booysens SAPS. In 2012 he was transferred to Moffatview SAPS as the Station Commander.

Just Be
Laurelle Williams laurelle@tametimes.co.za
The multi-award-winning and talented singer-songwriter Nianell has just released her seventh album Just Be. As usual, the popular singer shifts boundaries with her brilliant compositions, passionate interpretations and inspirational lyrics. tame TIMES enjoyed the massive voice of Nianell at a recent live performance of songs from her latest CD. The whole CD speaks to one’s soul - not only is her voice a direct gift from God, but the wise and honest words in her songs are also uplifting and inspiring. Just Be features 15 songs, eleven of which are new, original compositions. The album also features four well-known favourites: Karen Carpenter’s We’ve Only Just Begun, Lionel Ritchie’s moving ballad Hello, the duo Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence and Cat Steven’s Morning Has Broken. Nianell specifically chose these four songs, because she grew up with them and they all have a special meaning for her, and she manages to give each one her own interpretation. With Just Be, Nianell comes full circle - she returns to her roots and the style of her first two albums, Who Painted the Moon? and the double-SAMA-award-winning Angel Tongue. Healing flows strongly through sound and melody, while her lyrics gently lead listeners to a place of inner peace. The overarching theme on Just Be and in Nianell’s own life is unconditional love. She believes that unconditional love is the core of every being and that the purpose of our life is to become this love. “With my previous albums, I shared my heart, but with Just Be, I open my soul - I think this is my most honest album to date,” Nianell said. Stand a chance to win Nianell’s new CD Just Be – see competition details on page 14.

in mortgages commended
Last week the National Credit Regulator (NCR) released the Consumer Credit Market Report (CCMR) and the Credit Bureau Monitor (CBM), which are based on the data submitted to the NCR by registered credit providers and credit bureaus respectively. These reports cover credit market information up to June 2014. New credit extended for mortgages grew by R2.3 billion (7.6%) when compared to the previous quarter and R3.08 billion (10.25%) when compared to the quarter ended June 2013. The value of the mortgages debtor’s book was R834 billion as at June 2014, which amounted to 53.18% of the total debtor’s book. A total of 90.62% of the mortgage repayments were up to date as at June 2014. Nomsa
Motshegare, CEO of the NCR, commended the latest trends in consumers seeking assets building credit. She encouraged consumers to know their credit status, to live within their means and to use credit responsibly. The total value of new credit granted increased from R105.60 billion for the quarter ended March 2014 to R107.19 billion for the quarter ended June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 1.50%. There was an overall quarter-on-quarter growth for all credit types with the exception of “developmental” credit, which declined. The number of applications received for credit increased by 696,000 from 9.67 million in March 2014 to 10.37 million in June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 7.21%.
The following were some of the most significant trends observed in terms of credit granted for the quarter ended June 2014:
of 1.34%. • The secured debtor’s book, which is dominated by vehicle finance, increased from R331.72 billion for March 2014 to R340.36 billion for June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 2.60%. • The credit facilities debtor’s book, which consists mainly of credit cards, store cards and bank overdrafts, had a quarter-on-quarter increase of 2.45% from R190.58 billion to R195.26 billion. • The unsecured credit debtor’s book decreased from R172.97 billion for March 2014 to R172.20 billion for June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 0.45%. • The short-term credit debtor’s book decreased from R707.34 million for the quarter ended March 2014 to R704.99 million for the quarter ended June 2014, a decrease of 0.33%. • The developmental credit debtor’s book decreased from R31.67 billion for the quarter ended March 2014 to R26.10 billion for the quarter ended June 2014, an decrease of 17.58%.
• The value of new mortgages granted increased by 7.60% quarter-on-quarter from R30.84 billion to R33.18 billion. • Secured credit, which is dominated by vehicle finance, increased from R35.35 billion for March 2014 to R35.76 billion for June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 1.14%. • Credit facilities, consisting mainly of credit cards, store cards and bank overdrafts, had an increase of 2.31% quarter-onquarter from R16.22 billion to R16.59 billion. • Unsecured credit increased from R18.82 billion for March 2014 to R19.32 billion for June 2014, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 2.64%. • Short-term credit increased from R1.23 billion for the quarter ended March 2014 to R1.29 billion for the quarter ended June 2014, an increase of 4.75%. • Developmental credit had a quarter-onquarter decrease of 66.53% from R 3.14 billion to R 1.05 billion. As at June 2014, the total outstanding consumer credit balances (or gross debtor’s book) was R1.57 trillion, representing a quarter-on-quarter growth of 1.16% and a year-on-year growth of 6.96%. The trends for outstanding balances for the quarter ended June 2014 were as follows: • The mortgages debtor’s book increased from R823.33 billion for the quarter ended March 2014 to R834.37 billion for the quarter ended June 2014, an increase
The banks’ share of the total outstanding consumer credit as at June 2014 was R1.33 trillion (84.60%), retailers was R36.29 billion (2.31%), non-bank vehicle financiers stood at R58.45 billion (3.72%), and “other credit providers,” at R146.92 billion (9.36%). Other credit providers consist primarily of pensionbacked lenders, insurers, non-bank mortgage lenders and securitised debt. Comparisons in this release that are “quarter-on-quarter” refer to a comparison between the March 2014 and June 2014 quarters, and “year-onyear” refers to a comparison between the June 2013 and June 2014 quarters.

We continue to victim blame Tiana Davids writes:
Gysie het hierdie afgelope naweek sy suiker behoorlik opgejaag. Ons het die Pick ‘n Pay se Smaak van Johannesburg bygewoon saam met ons kinders. Ons het gehoor dat daar ‘n hele paar van ons gunsteling restaurante daar sou uitstal. Gysie het nog altyd ‘n soettand gehad en hierdie naweek het hy nie geweet waar om die streep te trek nie. Hy het by al die bak en brou stalletjies geboer. Koek, macaroons, sjokoladefontuine en meer moes alles deur Gysie se verteringstelsel beweeg. Vir ‘n man met ‘n familiegeskiedenis van suikersiekte, was dit na my mening baie onverantwoordelik. Tog kap Gysie terug en sê dat mens slegs een lewe het en dit moet geniet. Al kom dit jou duur te staan? Tip: Geniet jou lewe. Moet nie altyd terughou nie, maar weet ook wanneer genoeg genoeg is.
We are not from this world Anandi Spies writes:
I loved Journey to 30 Something this week. It is so amazing when you give your life to Jesus, as you see everything different from the way the world’s standards are. We are not from this world, only passing through to eternal bliss to see Jesus Face to face.
This letter is a response to the Rape is a male problem article. Perhaps I am angry because I am someone who took part in the Slutwalk, or maybe it is the fact that I am a human being (despite what Mrs Yates said) who is completely shocked that someone would even write an article of this nature as she did. The Slutwalk was created to stop people blaming the victims. Maybe people who have been raped live with the shame their whole lives because they know that people will ask them, “What were you wearing? Where you drunk? Did you seduce him and then say no?” Men, women, and even children take part in the walk, screaming different chants, such as, “No means No; Yes means Yes.” Many people watched as we took to the streets with our posters and signs held high, informing people that rape is not all right. The buzz you feel afterwards is something no one can explain so it saddens me when I read an article that degrades the Slutwalk and those who take part in it. The first thing that caught my attention in the article was the fact that it was titled Rape is a male problem. Women are not the only ones who are raped, and this is acknowledged and mentioned at the Slutwalk. Rape is everyone’s problem, even if it has not directly affected you in anyway. We cannot place it on one gender as it can happen to everyone. The women who take part in the Slutwalk are not giving up their dignity as Mrs Yates claims. Many women dress in casual clothing. Dress style does not equate dignity. There is no right/wrong way to dress, and if there is, it is only because old men with power put those standards there. Many women who were dressed in jeans and a T-shirt have been raped. Children and
babies have been raped. Men have been raped. Even nuns have been raped. Should we blame all those people for their outfits as well, or is it only okay to do so when the skirt is above the knee? It is incorrect to claim the Slutwalk is just about women, since a lot of men take part in the event as well. A group of men do the whole walk in six-inch heels and tight short dresses, something only three or four women do. I believe Mrs Yates should first take part in the Slutwalk and see what it is all about before she claims that woman are voluntarily giving up their dignity. The most shocking part of the article is the last paragraph which states, “They could choose to portray themselves as human beings with hearts, souls and minds as well as bodies; but, instead they attract male sight-seers with all the wrong intentions.” Since when does taking a stand against something mean we are not human beings? Many of the people who take part in the Slutwalk have either been raped, know someone who has been raped or just want to take a stand against the injustice of rape. We cannot sit back and allow someone to insult people who are taking a stand against something that is a growing problem. I fail to understand how screaming “No means No” and “It’s a dress not a yes,” with signs that show why we are protesting will “attract male sight-seers with all the wrong intentions.” This event is worldwide and it will continue to grow each year. We have to join together to fight this continuous battle against not only rapists, but also against those who put down the fight. If being human and having dignity means wearing long dresses and keeping quiet when an injustice occurs, then I will continue to have no dignity and not be a human.
Response
Dear Ms Davids, Thank you for your response. In my article I said, “Rapists are always responsible for their actions and women or girls should be able to wear miniskirts on taxis or bikini tops in public without being attacked.” I, too, have marched against rape – just not in slut attire. We agree, I think, that rape is a crime. Where we disagree is on how to prevent this horrible crime that robs women of freedom everywhere. Online reports on
the 2012 miniskirt march in Joburg attracted many male comments (since removed) on the “hotness” of the marchers – missing the whole point of the campaign, which was to fight rape. Headlines included: Man at a mini skirt march (Daily Maverick), Miniskirts paralyse Joburg (www.io.l.co.za) and Mini-skirt march WATCH IT ON VIDEO – Sowetan LIVE. Keep marching, my sister!

All for Him G Sanders, a fellow believer writes:
Thank you, Laurelle Williams, for your testimony in last week’s Journey to 30 Something editorial and, most of all, congratulations on having the courage to proclaim and print your faith. All for Him
Brighten the corner By Ikaneng Sydney Kokoropo. FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF LEARNING Have you ever wondered why some people learn quicker, better and more effectively than others? Have you ever wondered how you learned to drive a car, to swim or even to ride a bicycle? In this journey of life we are all life-long learners, whether it is at home, at work or even at church. Our attitude towards learning determines to a large extent how well we learn. It thus becomes of great importance to be aware of what assists us to learn, and what hinders our learning process. Learning is different from simply gathering data or information. Learning brings about a new behaviour or a new action. It also generates a potential for improving our lives. I, therefore, would like to share what Julio Olalla, the founder of Newfield Network, refers to as enemies of learning and friends of learning. These attributes help us to navigate our path in life. We can choose to honour them, or cast them aside, Olalla says. Enemies of learning - Inability to admit that we don’t know - When we don’t know, but act as if we know - Not prioritizing learning – being too busy to learn - Ignoring the domain of emotions and its impact on learning - Ignoring the body as a domain of learning - Confusing learning with acquiring information - Not giving others permission to teach us - Distrust – not trusting ourselves and those who teach us Friends of learning - Willingness to admit that “I don’t know” - Active listening - Openness and trust - Respect and admiration - Curiosity – willingness to inquire The ability to triumph begins with all of us opening ourselves to new possibilities, new opportunities, new ideas, and new choices. This is possible if we embrace the friends of learning.

Traditionally, the month of September is a difficult time at the South African National Blood Service (SANBS). Owing to preliminary examinations and preparations towards the final quarter of the year, blood drives at schools and universities are generally not possible at this time of year. This, together with poor turnouts at companies and organisational blood drives, has placed immense pressure on the blood stock levels. “SANBS needs to maintain a blood stock level of 5 days at all times by collecting 3000 units of blood per day to meet the demand of the thousands of patients who are reliant on blood transfusions for their survival. However, at the moment we have only 1,6 days of blood stock available, and we are concerned that, should this continue, we are looking at a major crisis as we head towards the festive season,” says Vanessa Raju, Communications Manager of
SANBS. It is only with the help of selfless blood donors that SANBS is able to rectify this situation. They have implemented a cut-back approach, according to which they are not fully able to meet requests by doctors. For example, if a doctor requests four units of blood, SANBS may only be able to offer two units, and this approach will continue until the blood stocks recover. SANBS is encouraging all regular donors and those who have made a conscious decision to join this cause of “saving lives” not to miss out on their next donation date. This is also a reminder to all donors who selflessly donated blood on Mandela Day to remember that they are due to donate again and to continue making every day a Mandela Day. Members of the public who meet the minimum requirements to give the gift of life by becoming regular donors are urged to visit SANBS as soon as they possibly can.
Minimum blood donor
requirements:
• Aged between 16 and 65 years • Weighing 50kg or more • Good health • A sexually safe lifestyle

Murdered while Bullying is not cool having a braai Mondeor SAPS and JMPD hosted a talk on bullying for all Grade 7 learners of Mulbarton Primary School on 25 September. In picture: JMPD Officer Sefoto and Sgt Gqoba from Mondeor SAPS with three learners.
SAPS celebrates heritage The SAPS JHB Cluster (Booysens, Mondeor, Moffatview, Langlaagte, Sophiatown, JHB Central, Fairlands and Brixton SAPS) celebrated Heritage Day a day early on 23 September where each station cooked a different cultural meal and enjoyed sharing the meal together.
The departments involved were Communications, Social Crime Prevention and Women’s Network. Various cultures and traditional dress were showcased in a beautiful mirage of colour with the joyous celebration starting in the parking lot before the event started.
Mondeor resident, Pierre Brydges (47), was shot in the chest and killed while he and his family were braaiing on Heritage Day at his residence in Bellefield Road. At about 20:00 four men jumped over the wall and accosted the deceased and his family. “As the deceased stood up, one of the suspects shot the deceased in the chest. The suspects, all armed, searched the house and robbed them of jewels, cellphones, TVs and a white Nissan Maxima with a registration number of SCF 937 GP. The suspects were driving a Kombi, with an unknown registration number,” Cst Elizabeth Mnguni, spokeswoman for Mondeor SAPS said. A case of murder and armed robbery has been opened at Mondeor SAPS. Brydges leaves behind his fiancée Bronwyn Walton, his daughters Reo and Jordyn Brydges, his parents Annelore and Werner Kienhofer, his brothers Glen Brydges and
Frank Kienhofer and numerous close friends. The funeral will be at 15:00 on Friday 3 October at the St John Bosco Catholic. The family have requested to please not bring flowers but instead RIP: Pierre Brydges. rather donate the money to The Door of Hope Children’s mission( www.doorofhope. co.za). tame TIMES sends their deepest condolences to the family and friends of Pierre Brydges. May God comfort them at this extremely difficult time.
Taking to the streets Members of Booysens SAPS, Booysens Youth Desk and Take Charge Campaign took to the streets of Turffontein to hand out pamphlets to the community. Booysens Management would like to thank all role-players for their participation on the day.

Every occasion is the most important.

Having a meal out of the blue creates free rein to choose as you see fit. If it is a special occasion, however, this creates a set expectation about the evening. A date, for instance, requires a restaurant with a certain amount of elegance and class. The same is true for catering for VIPs, which comes paired with even higher expectations. Use the guidelines of social convention to ensure that the evening is acceptable for the people and the event. C
When choosing a restaurant it is incredibly important to consider the area and condition of the restaurant in question. The first indication of the quality of a restaurant is its appearance. The most expensive restaurant can seem cheap and quick if the building it is in is not up to scratch. The appearance and cleanliness of the restaurant can have a definite effect on people’s perceived notion of the food they will receive. Finding a restaurant that is both clean and aesthetically pleasing will put your guests at ease and start your meal off on a good note.

There is food for every mood.
People are picky creatures by nature and finding something for everyone’s taste is one of the hardest parts of choosing a place to dine. A place with a narrow selection is bound to find someone unhappy with their lot. A set menu is a very dangerous proposition unless you know for a fact all your guests will enjoy the food. Most modern restaurants have websites with their entire menu available for perusal. This is a great way to know what choices the

A sticky topic when it comes to dining and often a source of great unhappiness is the price of the meal. No one is willing to break the bank for a meal and this often stands in the way of having a good time. The best advice for this situation is to go with a clear idea with what your budget for the evening is. That gives you both the freedom to spoil your guests as well as not having to search your purse for loose coins. Following these guidelines goes a long way towards finding the perfect restaurant. A bit of extra effort really goes a long way to ensuring that your meal is thoroughly enjoyable. Remember the most important part of dining is having a good time.

President: winners of Roodepoort Series
Golden Mile runners
Four Randeor learners: Lesedi Nyembezi (u/15); Rendani Magoro (u/15); Monique Hoosain (u/19) and Dillon Fries (u/17) participated in the Gauteng Cross Country Championships in Vereeniging on 21 September. Monique Hoosain won overall first place and Randeor School salutes her.
TALENTED RUNNERS: Lesedi Nyembezi, Rendani Magoro, Monique Hoosain and Dillon Fries
RUGBY CHAMPIONS: President’s senior rugby team Hoërskool President High School senior rugby team were crowned champions in the Roodepoort Rugby Club series for High Schools as President was victorious in each game. They started off the series with a good win against Bryanston High in the first match, scoring all the bonus points they could. President kept on winning in their pool games against HTS, Nic Diedericks and Kagiso, and then took the quarter-finals and the semi-finals in their stride, beating Fochville XV in that game. However, the night of the final was cold and harsh, and playing against Krugersdorp High School was an uphill battle. With the wind at their backs, President kept just ahead of KHS and went into half-time with an 8-5 lead. The second half was tough and defence was crucial.
30 September 2014
President held out against wave after wave of KHS attacks. Their tiger-like defence paid off and President got out of their half, winning a penalty and the subsequent line-out on KHS’s 22-metre line. President’s forwards started a rolling maul, an unstoppable machine in the game. Winning another penalty and kicking it out on the 5-metre line, earned President a second rolling maul, and this time, even pulling it down could not stop President from barging over the KHS defensive line and scoring the second try of the match. With minutes left in the game, President held out for a final victory, winning the game 13-5. President was crowned the champions once more of the Roodepoort Series.
Chess team goes to provincials For the first time in Mondeor High School’s history, the chess team made it through to the provincial championships. At the championship the team won half of their matches.
10-year birthday bash Mulbarton Remedial School celebrated their 10th anniversary on 23 September. The school day started with a special assembly, with all learners’ parents invited to attend and have a birthday cupcake courtesy of the school. In the assembly, learners shared why their school is special to them and each teacher and staff member received a thank you gift. Ten balloons were let off into the sky with a wish from each class for the school attached to it. The learners let off steam playing on jumping castles, while teachers and parents enjoyed talking about the
past ten years. The school was founded by Pat Van In in January 2004 and started off with 17 learners. Today, Mulbarton Remedial has 149 learners and 15 staff members. Van In, the principal, told tame TIMES, “I saw there was a need for an affordable remedial school in the south.” A special gesture from the learners was the gift to the school of their first honours board, on which the first head prefect’s name, Teshaan Maharaj, was inscribed. tame TIMES wishes Mulbarton Remedial School a happy 10th birthday in 2014 and many more in the future.

The Monster vs Iron Lion
Page 15
Artistic gymnasts shine Twenty four Resilience Gymnastic Club Artistic gymnasts (levels 1-3), took part in this year’s friendly competition as well as the Central Gauteng Regionals in Pretoria during August. After diligent training and hard work by coaches Roxanne van Herwaarde (owner), Tracy van Herwaarde and Angie Enslin, all the gymnasts did extremely well, with several gymnasts being placed in the top three in their levels and age groups. All the gymnasts qualified for the North Zone Competition (Mini-Nationals), which was held
in Kempton Park on 5 and 6 September. Bronze, Silver and Gold medals were awarded to all gymnasts according to their overall marks. Most of the Resilience gymnasts received gold medals for their performances and all will be awarded with their Provincial Colours. “We are extremely proud of this year’s success of our gymnasts. Thank you, gymnasts and coaches, for the extra hours put in and thank you to the parents for their support,” van Herwaarde said.
WHO WILL WIN? Iron Lion or The Monster Carnival City plays host to EFC 34 this Thursday night. Striking specialist Sibusiso “The Monster” Mdoko challenges the champion Leon “Iron Lion” Mynhardt for the lightweight title. Mdoko, the showman from Cape Town, is a crowd favourite with an impressive finishing record. “The Monster” has put away all three of his last opponents and has never been finished. Another must-see-clash is between Francois “Franaconda” Groenewald and the most dominant athlete in EFC history, Demarte “The Wolf” Pena, for EFC Gold. Pena is renowned for his grappling-based fighting style. Groenewald is a world bronze Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu medalist. He has vowed to be the man to upend Pena`s devastating ground game, and bring his nine-fight winning streak to an end. In addition to these, there are 11 more action-packed bouts for EFC followers to sink their teeth into. EFC, the Extreme Fighting Championship, is the biggest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organisation on the African continent.
DIRECTIONS TO

The doors to Carnival City’s Big Top Arena open at 15:30, with the event kicking off at 16:00. Everything will be done and dusted by about 23:00. Tickets range in price from R225 to R790 for VIPs.
