There were by-elections in four wards in the City of Johannesburg on 2 July. Ward 57, which includes La Rochelle, Regents Park &Ext, Moffatview, Rose Acre, South Hills, Elandspark, Tulisa Park, Linmeyer, City Deep and Heriotdale, was retained by the Democratic Alliance (DA), and their candidate Faeeza ‘Fay’ Chame is the new councillor. Chame went up against former Clr Bev Turk, who left the DA earlier this year and joined the African National Congress (ANC), and Lwazi Jali from the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). The DA won with 66.09% of the votes; the ANC received 33.61% and the IFP, 0.31% of the votes. “I am overwhelmed, but very excited and relieved. There is a lot of hard work that lies ahead for me,” Chame told tame TIMES. Out of the 17 624 registered voters in ward 57, only 3 913 votes were cast, with 12 of them counted as spoilt votes. The DA received 2 578 of the votes cast. South Hills is a big concern for Chame,

due to the drug and alcohol abuse in the area. “Children are not going to school and people are stealing to support their drug habit. There is a need for change here and I believe I can make a difference,” Chame said. Her vision for the ward includes youth upliftment, in which she wants to involve business; she also wants more SAPS members patrolling in the area and feels that the elderly residents of the ward are forgotten and neglected. “Their rent is too high. How are they supposed to live on their R1 350 pension?” Chame explained that she is there to serve the community and hopes they can speak with one voice. “We (the DA) are very transparent and look past colour and race, and I ask the community to work alongside me so we can make ward 57 a better community to live in.”

Who is Fay Chame? 11°/ 0°
Faeeza Chame, also known as Fay, has been staying in the south for the last 15 years. The past five years she has been in Kenilworth, but for ten years before that she stayed in South Hills. As a result, the South Hills community is very close to her heart. “I know these people,” she said. Chame was introduced to the DA in 2002 by former Clr Bev Turk and became Turk’s righthand woman. She was also made chairperson of ward 124 by PR Clr Tyrell Meyers three years ago. “This is when I really discovered what the DA is about. Meyers showed me all the dilapidated buildings that people were staying in and I saw there was a need for change,” Chame told tame TIMES. Chame is married and is family orientated. Her children, however, are grown up and, because of this, she can focus fully on her duties as ward councillor.

Thank you for voting for me Clr Faeeza Chame writes:
I would like to thank the residents of ward 57 who took their time to vote for me in the local by-elections on 2 July. In my 10 years as a DA activist I came in contact with different kinds of people, and I was involved in various charity organisations, and in that time I was elected as the
chairperson for ward 124, and was chosen as the acting chairperson for the Democratic Alliance Women’s Network. One project in particular was Nomsa’s soup kitchen. What I experienced here and during my time has just pushed me to do more to help those in need. There was one building in particular situated in the heart of Joburg CBD, Moth building. The people that live there really touched me; these are families that go many nights without food, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Their living conditions are those of the poorest of the poor. In experiencing all this hardship what I saw just made me more determined to make a difference in my community. I would say to you today that how my view of politics has changed I now know we need to focus on the personal issues that people have and the value of acting to improve
our lives and those of our neighbours. It is one of the reasons that my focus is on the youth of this community. I want to bring back values because we should respect our senior citizens and make ward 57 a better place to live for all of us. My priorities will be to ensure that commercial development happens in a sensible way so that our heritage and culture is respected. The results are a clear warning to the government that they need to have a serious re-think not just nationally, but with local policies as well. As the newly elected councillor I will accept the responsibility whole-heartedly and I pledge that I am here to listen, to act and to serve the people of my local community. I will do so as part of a team that is focused on planning and delivering essential services. .to meet the needs of our growing community. I would like to encourage more of you to get involved. Remember your future lies in your hands. Once again, thank you.
Best of luck to Fay Bev Turk writes: I would like to thank all the voters who voted for the ANC, but, more importantly, well done to the DA. I wish Fay Chame the best in her new position as councillor of ward 57. GRACIOUS: Bev Turk outside South Rand Recreation Centre on 2 July.
Break my heart for what breaks Yours Last week Monday I came to work only find out my dear friend Ndu Ngwenya’s girlfriend had lost her two-year-old son. As he told me the news and I saw the tears run down his face, my heart broke for him. There is a Casting Crowns song with the words “break my heart for what breaks Yours”. In this moment, I honestly felt this was happening. The despair and hurt in his eyes was so real that I felt it through my mind, body and soul. It is always hard to understand that God’s plan (taking a young boy from his loved ones so early) is one that brings hope however we need to know and believe that it is. God would not harm us; there is a greater picture. “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” Jer 29:11. I pray that the family is open to God being their comfort, allowing their hearts to be peaceful knowing that their little one, Kamz, is rejoicing in heaven with Jesus. For me anyone up in heaven with Jesus is something to rejoice about. Another shock this week was the news of Daryl Impey testing positive for Probenecid. From what I understand this is used to mask the use of doping drugs. I do not want to believe this as knowing Daryl on a personal level from my younger days, he would not do this. He would not take such a risk to mess up what he has worked so hard for. He is living his dream and now his dream has come to a complete halt. I am in agreement with many other people that have welcomed and applauded his honesty in releasing a personal statement on Tuesday. In takes a great deal of courage to let your fans and the world know that there is evidence of suspected doping against you, knowing that it is going to offset mixed emotions that will in turn hurt him, his team and his family. I do not know how this situation is going to play out, but I pray there is some logical explanation and that Daryl’s dignity and honour can be restored. I just think of how his heart is breaking in this time and my heart breaks with his. Be strong Daryl. I still believe in you.

Early morning havoc A man in his 20s sustained critical injuries while 15 other taxi commuters sustained minor to moderate injuries on 3 July on the N12 highway near Kliprivier. ER24 paramedics rushed through the early morning traffic and arrived on the scene to find a wrecked taxi lying on its roof in the middle of the road. The occupants of the taxi who were scattered on scene were assessed and one was found to have sustained critical injuries. He was airlifted by the ER24 helicopter to Chris Hani
Baragwaneth Hospital for urgent medical treatment. The remainder of the patients were treated for their injuries and were transported to various hospitals in the area for further observation. Witnesses on scene said that one of the taxi’s tyres had apparently burst, causing the taxi to lose control and overturn multiple times. Local authorities were on scene to investigate further.

More damages from over voltages Over voltages that cause major damage to electrical appliances seem to be becoming a trend in Johannesburg South. Reports, however, of the vandalisation of sub-stations being the reason for this have not been confirmed. A resident in Yarmouth Road, Mulbarton took a photograph of the power reading on 28 June at 21:52 with a reading of 406 vac. The resident stated, “It started at about 18:30.

Is it wrong to wear Residents want True overalls in Parliament? North traffic calmed Opinion piece by Palesa
Did last week’s forceful ejection of EFF MPLs from the Gauteng Provincial Legislature undermine the dignity of our provincial law-making institution? Why did the Honourable Members refuse to obey Speaker Ntombi Mekgwe’s instruction to change out of their red hard hats, overalls and domestic worker’s uniforms? Did the EFF discredit themselves or the ANC? After all, the best loved and most respected leader of our democracy, President Mandela, pioneered the fashion statement that was the Madiba shirt. With it, he always wore comfortable shoes and avoided jackets and ties. The Speaker of the UK Parliament traditionally sat on a woolsack to remind MPs of one of the main industries which kept the country going. It seems that even the Gauteng Speaker herself did not object as much to the working attire of EFF MPLs last week, as to the “Asijiki” inscription on the backs of them which she interpreted as a party political slogan belonging to the Economic Freedom Fighters. “Asijiki” is, of course, the EFF’s equivalent of the ANC’s “Amandla!” Used since the expulsion of the Honourable Malema from the ANC, it symbolises the determination of EFF members to continue going forward, that is, not to return to the ANC. The Secretary to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature Peter Skosana issued a statement condemning the “unbecoming conduct
*Photo taken from ewn.co.za.
of EFF Members” which caused “delays in the House sitting.” In it he referred to a Ruling of the House stipulating that all Honourable Members should, when executing their duties, “be dressed in a manner which accords with the decorum of the House and which does not display party affiliation.” The EFF, according to the statement, had been thoroughly informed about this issue – even workshopped. It appears that they then deliberately overstepped the mark in order to force a confrontation. According to their statement, “The EFF will never be bossed around to abandon the worker overalls in parliaments across the country because this is who it represents.” They point out, quite rightly however, that “What the speaker forgets is that EFF is there not because she employed it, but because more than a million South Africans voted for it.” What is definitely most un-Parliamentary and very disrespectful, though, is their description of the speaker as “a walking anarchy that is now undoing freedom of expression right in the house of democratic law making,” and the quite unnecessary and extremely derogatory comment that “The ANC demoted her to speaker precisely because she has no other political credentials to be used meaningfully elsewhere.” The EFF is making headlines and making politics popular, but is it maintaining respect for the democratic institutions that represent the rule of law in our country? You are the voter – you be the judge.
Over 200 signatures have been collected from concerned Mulbarton residents requesting that traffic calming measures be implemented on True North Road. Mario Stelli of Jawitz South said, “Traffic is especially heavy at peak hours as the stretch of True North (between Saron/South and The Broads) services three nursery schools (Genesis and two Cuddle Inn schools); three schools (Glenvista High, Harvest Christian and Mulbarton Primary) as well as the Mulbarton Hospital, Mulbarton Shopping Centre and the illegal taxi rank. Residents believe that some form of traffic calming feature needs to be implemented here as a matter of urgency.” PETITIONER: Mario Stelli hands the petition to According to Stelli, drivers entering Councillor Paul Smit. True North have to take tremendous Mulbarton residents by submitting the risks; the greatest concern, however, is that young children have to cross True petition to the Johannesburg Roads Agency and to ensure that action is taken to North on their way to school. Councillor Paul Smit has agreed to assist implement safety measures.

It takes a great deal of courage and determination to go to Hollywood and attempt to break into the industry, but this is exactly what Letticia Bissondut has done. It is now nearly two years down the line and the actress’s show reel is growing. The ex-Glenvista resident booked her first job, a national commercial for Dominos, at her second audition. “I got to work with an incredible director Wayne McClamy and it was a really amazing experience for a first job in LA,” Bissondut said.

Individuals think, feel and behave differently and each one’s unique combination of characteristics or qualities forms his or her distinctive personality or character. Differences in people, especially at work (but also at home) can lead to problems because they can cause sub-optimal performance. We spend our time concentrating on our differences and being irritated by them, as opposed to celebrating our differences because we understand them. A group made up of people with different personalities is much stronger than a group of people who are all the same. The word personality comes from the Latin word persona and means “mask”. In the ancient Latinspeaking world, masks were worn in theatre to show a person’s character and not to cover it up. There are numerous personality theories and ways of testing personality and this article is not meant to be an in-depth look at theories or tests. Instead, it is a way of looking at personalities so you can recognise and understand the differences and thereby cope better. As with anything in life, it is always better to start with understanding yourself. What is your personality? Why do you think, feel and behave as you do?

Personalities in the workplace
When you can recognise personality traits in yourself and understand them, it is easier to widen your observations to other people. One way of categorising personality is the analytical/ driver/ amiable/expressive test. Of course people are unique and so their personalities often do not fit squarely into one category but may overlap others. You can take a quiz http://www.retaildoc.com/ retailerresources/personality-test to see which one you are. Compare your findings with those of your friends and colleagues. Each personality type has both strengths and potential weaknesses. These are summarised in the table below: Peter Urs Bender’s Guide to Strengths and Weaknesses of Personality Types http://www.peterursbender.com/quiz/swtable.html Recognising the pros and cons of each personality style can help you manage your colleagues and customers better if you take into account how they would like to be communicated with. You can read more about how to communicate with each personality type http://www.peterursbender.com/quiz/ swtable.html *Colleen Qvist is an Empowerment Coach and Speaker.

Break a record with WODAC The World of Dogs & Cats & Pet Expo (WODAC), Complete Dog Food and Ford Motor Company, are calling upon animal lovers in Gauteng to help them break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most pet food collected in a seven-day period. The aim is to collect a minimum of 20 tons of pet food from 1420 July, in order to break the prevailing record of 15 tons convincingly. “Animal shelters across the country look after scores of loveable pets in need of a good, nutritious meal while they await adoption. So apart from being a fun opportunity for Gauteng residents to contribute to a Guinness World Record attempt, donors can draw inspiration from the fact that the real goal behind this initiative is to collect as much pet food as possible for donation to participating animal welfare organisations,” said Henk Jutte, managing director of Complete Dog Food. Animal lovers, and those who want to be part of a bona fide Guinness World Record attempt, are asked to drop off their donations at participating Ford dealerships in Gauteng, from 14-20 July and at WODAC, which runs from 18-20 July at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. Gavin Golightly, Marketing Manager at Ford South Africa, added, “Many people see their pets as part of the family, and offering cars that allow people to travel with their furry friends is something we at Ford are very proud of. With several pet-friendly vehicles in
our range, Ford started exhibiting at WODAC last year, and is doing so again this year.” In keeping with the spirit of generosity and fairness that characterises this Guinness World Record attempt, members of the public will decide, via a Facebook Challenge, how much of the donated food gets distributed to each of the approved animal welfare organisations. “It’s only fair that if you’re donating the food, you should get to decide who gets how much of it,” explained Brian Blades, Managing Director of WODAC. “To have your say, go to the Facebook Challenge and cast your vote for the organisation of your choice. The challenge will run from 2 June to 20 July and the percentage votes for each shelter will determine their share of the food.” The grand weigh-in, of what will likely be a mountain of pet food, will take place under strict supervision at the World of Dogs & Cats & Pet Expo (WODAC) on 20 July. The welfare organisations that currently stand to benefit from this drive include Kitty and Puppy Haven; Animal Ambulance; Animal Anti-Cruelty League; Animals in Distress; Barking Mad; FORA; Wetnose; SPCA Springs; Mdzananda Animal Clinic; Santa Cause for Paws; Woodrock Animal Rescue; Hellen White; Angels Refuge; Claw; SPCA Benoni; Animal Instincts; Pet Save and Purr Paws for life.

Decline of our suburbs Norma Rudham writes:
Sjoe mensies, is ek en Gysie nou vir jou vrot van die griep! Dit begin eers by ‘n loopneus en ‘n krapperige keel, wat vinnig vererger. Ons slaapkamer lê byna toe onder al Gysie se sakdoeke. Nie een van ons het eers die energie om die ander te dokter nie. En dit is gewoonlik die lekker deel van siekwees: jou geliefde bederf en vertroetel jou tot in die sewende hemel. Nee kyk, nie hierdie keer nie, want ons is albei ewe pap! Ons het al die boererate en medisyne onder die son probeer, maar op die ou einde moet mens maar wag dat die aaklige virus sy gang gaan. Ek dog nog al die jare dat ek en Gysie slim is wanneer ons ekstra vitamine-c bruispilletjies drink- net om tot ons verbasing met ons doktersafspraak uit die perd se bek te hoor dat ‘n mens se liggaam net die nodige hoeveelheid absorbeer en die res uitskei. Antibiotika is ook ‘n storie op sy eie. Ek het op ‘n stadium antibiotika vir elke kwaal gedrink. As ek net teveel gesnuif het, dan het ek solank ‘n kursus begin. Die enigste probleem is dat al my natuurlike bakterieë nou vernietig is. Ek krap my stukkend en krul om van die maagkrampe. Daarom kon ek nie hierdie keer weer antibiotika drink nie; nou moet ek maar geduldig met ‘n bloedrooi, skurwe neus langs Gysie in die bed lê en wag. Boonop dit is hy nog so ‘n klakous ook! “Nee Trixie ek kan nie meer nie. Ek is op my laaste. Ek kan nie slaap met die slym in my bors nie. Maak vir my asseblief gemmertee,” en so hou dit aan. Dit sal my ‘n les leer, want ek wil mos nie my drukkies en soene terughou wanneer Gysie siek is nie. Nou is ons maar ewe sleg. Tip: Probeer om nie by jou geliefde aan te steek nie, want dit is tog so lekker as een darem die ander kan versorg. Weerhou maar daardie soen of druk totdat jou ander helfte gesond is. Anders as jy weer kyk, is die hele familie siek.
Regarding recent articles about the way our suburbs are deteriorating the following are a few observations of what I have observed driving around the South: Down Nascrec Road in the vicinity of the show grounds and FNB Stadium some of the areas which are frequently used for dumping have been barricaded off so that cars cannot gain access to dump. Booysens corner seems to be looking more respectable and Kliprivier Road (the gateway to the South) is also all right until one reaches the Council flats. This area looks dreadful, with broken-down walls,
graffiti and piles of rubbish all over the place and garbage spilling out of the skips. Would it not be possible for our Councillors to try to organise some extra skips or maybe to obtain a few additional bins from Pikitup and place them next to the skips to accommodate the overflow? I would like to encourage residents to continue objecting and writing to the newspaper about unacceptable incidents of all kinds, as that is the only way that we will ever be able to prevent the decline of our suburbs.
Share with us or keep quiet Steve Rudd writes: Manny de Freitas should stop treating us like Jacob Zuma treats his supporters. I am neither ignorant nor poorly informed and have been a loyal DA supporter for many years but as a result of the garbage that is spewing out of his mouth at the moment, I am seriously considering whether I should be voting for the DA or if I should just spoil my vote because I could definitely not vote for the ANC. He has been on a mission to bad-mouth Bev Turk and other DA councilors who left the DA and joined the ANC at every opportunity. I believe that they are wrong for doing this but maybe they did so because of the poor management by de Freitas and others in the
DA. Why was Bev Turk left to work for the party for so many years and not brought into line long ago if she was as bad as he says she was? Any manager who allows employees to continually transgress the rules and does nothing about it is worse than the transgressor and should be fired. If, as he says, she was under disciplinary action, please let him share the facts with us and cut out the nonsense because all he is doing is making his own name smell. I am sure that if we were to dig into his background, we would find something not quite right as well. Or is he an angel? Share with us or keep quiet. We are not idiots.
Bandanas change lives
By purchasing a bandana for R25 you can make a difference and offer those fighting leukaemia and other life-threatening blood disorders the chance of a future. National Bandana Day is 12 October. The Sunflower Fund encourages the public to buy a bandana from their nearest Pick n Pay or local Round Table, in both South Africa and Namibia, and to wear it to show their support for patients who put up a brave fight against these diseases on a daily basis and lose their hair because of chemotherapy treatments. Funds raised through National Bandana Day go towards paying for the expensive tissue typing (DNA) tests that need to be done before new donors can join The South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR). The Sunflower Fund relies heavily on this fundraiser to continue testing donors to help patients suffering from leukaemia and other life-threatening blood disorders, who require a bone marrow transplant in order to survive. “Please support this campaign and help make a difference, as together we can save more lives and we cannot do this without your support,” Tarryn Corlett, Chief Operating Officer for The Sunflower Fund, said. For more information on National Bandana Day and The Sunflower Fund, please call the toll free line on 0800 12 10 82 or visit www.sunflowerfund.org.za.

Tradition is a guide and not a jailer. - W. Somerset Maugham Young people are often blamed for not being in touch with traditions. My view is that the preferred stance of detachment from the ways of those who came before is not really a reflection of a non-caring generation, but rather an active protest against the inconsistencies which result from living a progressive life void of any of the anchoring characteristics of tradition when things are going well, and the sudden retreating to the “old way” when life’s tides turns. You cannot impose tradition on youth, encourage pioneering and forward thinking and expect anything less than generational friction. With recent experiences I have come to understand where Mark Twain was coming from when he said “The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it.” Often the things we call tradition just make it all right to avoid the process of thinking. Why, you ask? Well, life in itself is progressive and tradition is nothing else but a way of doing things. So if life and the things of life keep progressing, how do we remain grounded in the old ways and expect perfect synergy between different times? The inability to draw a clear logical line between an idea and the way in which one should execute it can be a source of many frustrations between generations; I think these frustrations are actually the telling signs of a needed paradigm shift. What if “should” were “could?” What if the way things were done yesterday only served as a guide as opposed to a circumstantial prison? Whether in business, relationships or any other aspect of our lives, we need to accept that yesterday’s solutions may not be suitable for solving today’s problems adequately. We need to accept that the search for a state of correspondence between the two (today’s problems and today’s solutions) is not necessarily a malicious rejection of old ways – it is a response in line with the nature of life, which is progressive. Tomorrow cannot be allowed to be like today. Let’s chat, share your views on our topic of discussion on voice@tametimes.co.za or tweet @NietoVoice.

Burning of dog not confirmed by SAPS The Star reported last Thursday that a dog was set alight by National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) members in the Booysens area. However, when tame TIMES contacted W/O Lorraine Van Emmerick, Booysen SAPS spokeswoman, the following morning, she said no case had been opened and they had not been called out to assist. The Star stated that “protesters clad in NUMSA red vandalised several factories in the Booysens area of Johannesburg, as
well as vehicles parked around them. They were armed with knobkierries, tree branches, sticks and hammers. The protesters tried to set alight a building, but the owners quickly put out the fire. However, a dog was engulfed by the flames and burnt to death.” The Numsa strike started on 1 July, with over 200,000 Numsa affiliated workers demanding a 12 percent wage hike across the board, a R1 000 housing allowance increase and the scrapping of labour brokers.
Brazen thieves Mondeor SAPS arrested two 23-year-old men in Columbine Avenue on 26 June for possession of suspected stolen property. When Sgt Mphahlana and Cst Mnisi stopped a suspicious-looking white bakkie going down Columbine Street, the three occupants sitting in the back of the bakkie jumped out and ran away. The two officers then arrested

the driver and the remaining passenger. After finding the bakkie loaded with electrical appliances, they investigated the matter further and determined that the property had been stolen in Colworth Street, Mondeor the very same day. The suspects were detained at Mondeor Police Station.
Missing person Weekly Arrests: Joseph Mbuyiseni Magubane, aged 52-years-old, went missing in September 2013. He was last seen at The Glen Shopping Centre. He is from Vosloorus. If you have seen him please contact Moffatview SAPS on 011 405 1500.
Do you know this man?
This man is wanted by Booysens SAPS as it is believed that he can assist with information regarding a serious incident that took place in Turffontein on 28 June. Anyone who has any information on his whereabouts or is able to assist the Booysens Detective Branch with contacting the said person should please contact WO Yende on 011 433 5200 or 082 557 6984. All information received will be kept confidential.
Domestic Watch meetings
RECOVERED: Sgt Mphahlana ARRESTED: The two suspects with stolen goods.
Three injured on Columbine
Three people were injured on the morning of 4 July when a taxi collided with a truck and light motor vehicle at the Columbine Avenue and Golden Highway intersection. When ER24 paramedics arrived on scene, they found a man in his thirties in a critical condition, trapped inside a large truck which lay on its side. Jaws-of-life equipment had to be used to free the patient from the truck before advanced life support could be performed. Once freed
from the vehicle, he was treated and then transported to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital for urgent medical treatment. The driver of the light motor vehicle and taxi both sustained moderate injuries in the collision. Paramedics treated them for their injuries and then transported them to a nearby hospital for further observation. The cause of the collision is not yet known, but local authorities were on the scene to make further investigations.
Tracking system assists in arrests Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Intervention Unit members received a lookout alert for a Toyota Dyna truck that was stolen in Bedfordview on 18 June. Later that same day the unit was able to arrest two suspects, and to confiscate the truck and an accomplice vehicle in Eikenhof. The tracking system fitted on the truck was what enabled the officers to make a speedy arrest because they were able to co-ordinate the search with the tracker company. The stolen truck’s trail was followed from Kliprivier Road, Alberton and through Kibler Park and eventually cornered on R554 in Eikenhof.
The male suspect found driving the truck was arrested and he informed the Metro Police that his accomplice was escorting him in a white Kia sedan. The accomplice was then pursued and arrested as he attempted to get away. Implements used for breaking open motor vehicles were found in the Kia sedan. A docket of possession of a stolen motor vehicle was registered at Mondeor police station against the fifty-something pair. Both confiscated vehicles were booked in at Aeroton SAPS pound. The duo appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.
It is a disturbing fact of life for residents of the suburbs that criminals targeting their homes tend to use their domestic workers as ports of entry to their homes. If these workers are not educated, informed and encouraged to be on the lookout for crime and criminals, they become easy targets. It is therefore highly recommended that employers of domestic and garden workers encourage their staff to attend the Domestic Watch meetings that are run in conjunction with the Community Police Forum of Mondeor. The July meetings are: Mulbarton- 15 July at 10:00 at Jungle RumblePanorama Shopping Centre Glenvista- 15 July at 14:00 at New South Vet Clinic, Biggersberg Road, Glenvista Kibler Park- 9 July at 10:00 at Klipriver Recreation Club, Peggy Vera Road, Kibler Park Mondeor - 8 July at 10:00 at Sasol Garage, Swartgoud Street, Suideroord For more information please call 082 461 6968 or e-mail psteyntraining@absamail. co.za.

Highway runners fined The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) has warned pedestrians not to cross highways, but their warning has fallen on deaf ears as 30 men were recently fined R200 each for crossing highways on foot. “It is illegal and dangerous to run across a highway. The Metro has a huge problem with pedestrians, especially on the M1 motorway between the Crown Mines and the Booysens off-ramp,” JMPD Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said. The JMPD did a raid on the M1, M2, the N12 and the N1 highways.

tame TIMES Choosing the right formula of foundation Different formulas of foundation are designed for different skin types. Just because you like the packaging doesn’t mean it’s right for you. If you have dry skin, use a cream or liquid foundation. If you have oily skin, go for oil-free formulas, powder or mineral foundation. Exfoliate and moisturise By exfoliating and moisturising your skin you are allowing your foundation and the rest of your make-up to go on smoother and look good for longer. Remember – your foundation sits on top of your skin. Prime, prime, prime Never skip this step. It is the setting step for your foundation and one that will also help you save on product. A primer creates a flawless canvas for your foundation and helps hold it in place and prolong wear. Use the right tools to apply it Apply your foundation with a foundation brush. This will help deliver the correct
amount you need, effortlessly onto your skin. If you are applying mineral or powder foundation, use a fluffy powder brush or kabuki brush to help buff on the product properly.

ALasting foundation
Less is more This tip applies to most make-up products. Start off with less foundation on your brush and gradually apply more if you need to.
Use a finishing powder If you are using a liquid or cream foundation it is always best to finish off your look with a dusting of finishing / translucent powder. This helps seal your foundation and stops it from “sliding” down your face. Think of it as a top coat, like you apply on your nails as the last step of your manicure. *Sourced from www.beautysouthafrica.com.

Laurelle Williams
@laurellewilliam twitter.com
Red Helen was announced the winner of the South African leg of Wacken Metal Battle on 28 June at Rumours Lounge. This has afforded the band the once-in-alifetime opportunity to play at the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany- the biggest heavy metal open air festival in the world. The band will represent South Africa and compete against other international metal bands in the international metal battle, performing alongside top metal bands such as August Burns Red, Devin Townsend Project, Motörhead and Slayer, to name but a few. The festival celebrates its 25th anniversary and takes place from 31 July to 2 August. Red Helen consists of Brandon Pratt (lead vocals), Greg Van Kerkhof (vocals and bass), Liam O’brien (guitar), Erick Gerber (vocals and guitar) and Matt Sletcher (drummer). All band members stay in Alberton except for Sletcher who stays in Randburg. “This is mind-blowing even if we don’t win in Germany just performing at this festival is a
victory in itself,” Pratt and Van Kerkhof told tame TIMES. “It is something we dreamed of while growing up,” Pratt added. Having performed all over South Africa in many different settings and towns, Red Helen has been received extremely well by crowds of eager fans. Besides their critically acclaimed live performances, they have attained great achievements along the way. In 2014, front man, Brandon Pratt was named Best Vocalist, at the first annual South African Metal Music Awards. The metal band will be the opening act for Unearth and Protest The Hero at the Krankd Up Music Festival at Sundowners in September. Red Helen is currently in studio, recording their highly anticipated debut album, “Trading Past for Pathways” with well known, South African producer, Clinton Watts of Watts Productions.

I was torn between watching TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION in 3D or X-MEN: DAYS OF THE FUTURE PAST. Tempting as it was - being a true Marvel Comics fan at heart - I let my heart do the talking, and as usual Wolverine and the gang did not disappoint! This instalment of the X-MEN trilogy has upped the ante! Between the high-octane actionpacked sequences, the riveting story line, witty dialogue, outstanding performance’s, awesome soundtrack and breath-taking special effects I soon lost all sense of time, forgot the present and found myself in the DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and 131 minutes flew by! X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST sees Hugh Jackman who plays Wolverine brave a trip from a post-apocalyptic dystopian ‘end of days’ like future to the past; in a quest to
change the course of history and to protect man and mutant kind. How he gets there is a story in itself! This time around we also see Mystique take centre stage. In her portrayal of Mystique, Jennifer Lawrence manages to bring a warmth to the fish-like cold-blooded (in every sense of the word) mutant, who up until now we have considered to be anything but warm. This is not your typical good-versus-evil and hero-versus-villain storyline. It has so many unpredictable twists and turns that you will be left clutching the edge of your seat. As with any good rollercoaster ride I, for one, was thrilled; and, as one would say once one’s wobbly legs touch the ground and balance is restored, ‘’I wanna go again’’! X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is a must-watch and definitely better on the big screen.

COMMITTED TO PROVING HIS INNOCENCE: Daryl Impey is confident he will clear his name. *Photos sourced from www.darylimpey.com. Cyclist Daryl Impey released a personal statement last week Tuesday after his exclusion from the ORICA Green Edge Tour de France team as a result of receiving a positive test result for Probenecid. Impey stated, “Further to the announcement of the Tour de France team and in the interests of full disclosure, I confirm that on 23 June 2014, I was notified by William Newman, the President of Cycling South Africa, about an adverse analytical finding for Probenecid following an in-competition test at the national time trial championships on 6 February 2014.” “I had no knowledge of Probenecid nor have I ever taken the substance knowingly in any manner. I am committed to drug-free sport and fully
intend to take all steps necessary to clear myself of any suspicion.” “The notification came as a complete shock to me just days before the start of the Tour de France, particularly since anti-doping tests conducted on me on 8 and 9 February 2014 yielded no adverse results.” “I immediately flew back to South Africa and was present at the analysis of my B sample on 27 June 2014, the results of which confirmed the initial analysis.” “I am extremely distressed by the finding, as I have always raced clean throughout my career. Every result that I have achieved to date has been as a result of hard work and dedication on my part.” “I notified my team immediately after being informed by Cycling South Africa of the adverse finding.
I would like to thank them, my family and friends for their support during this difficult time. I remain confident that I will be vindicated and proved innocent of any wrongdoing.” The Australian team has shown support to Impey stating, “ The team would like to underline that it respects Daryl Impey’s right to prove his full innocence and will not comment any further until the process has run its due course and final conclusions have been made. As per the team’s code of conduct, Daryl Impey will not feature on the team’s roster until the case has been closed and he is fully eligible to ride.” It has been reported that Probenecid is classified as a diuretic and masking agent and is used to mask the use of doping substances, anabolic drugs in particular.
