Kind gesture leads to death Laurelle Williams

The next minute I felt a gun against my neck and he said ‘Ry net .’ My friend saw the gun and tried to get it away from him, there was a struggle and I heard gun shots. By that time I had managed to loosen my seatbelt, stopped the car and run away,” the shocked man told tame TIMES. He added that he had run towards Rewlatch to a man who had witnessed the entire incident. Together, they went to Moffatview SAPS and, while they were there, another resident phoned in, saying a vehicle was parked in front of his house with a bleeding man in the passenger seat. It was the complainant’s vehicle with his business partner in it; however, ABANDONED CAR: The vehicle was abandoned by the hitchhiking the vehicle was not in the place hijacker after the passenger of the vehicle was shot dead. the complainant had left it.

and hijacking had been opened. Fay Chame, the ward councillor for the area (Ward 57) was on the scene. She told tame TIMES, “Firstly I send my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased man. He was a father, a husband and a son. I must also add that I am quite disappointed, as the body was lying there from when the incident happened at 9:30 and was only removed before five when the deceased’s family arrived.” Chame added that in this day and age one simply cannot give lifts to hitchhikers. “I do feel the police need to be more visible in this area, as if they were visible on this day maybe this death would not have occurred. The sad thing is that the suspect was most probably going to steal the car for drugs sadly, most of the crime in this area stems from drugs. I hope the suspect is caught and justice is served.” tame TIMES sends their deepest condolences to the deceased’s family and friends. May they be comforted by our Heavenly Father.

The 34th Jaguar Concours Day was held on 14 September at The Glen Shopping Centre with 45 entries across six different categories. Nearly a hundred years of Jaguar history were displayed at the competition, which is held annually by The Jaguar Club of South
Africa. The oldest Jaguar there, a 1938 SS Jaguar Saloon, was just as breath-taking in its glory as the new Jaguar F-type, with all the cars there having been masterfully restored to their original condition. The cars were judged by a panel of members
from the Jaguar Club, based on their appearance and - even more importantly on the authenticity and originality of all their parts. “The true value of these cars lies in their authenticity,” said the Head Judge when asked about the judging process. “These cars are worth far more now than they were when they were first made.”
Aspen does it for Irwin Aspen Nature Estate held a Spring Day fun walk/ride on 13 September to raise money for Irwin’s Animal Shelter. The day consisted of dance shows, a reptile
and bird talk and of course the 5km and 10km walk/ride. Well done to Jay Trikam, the first cyclist to finish the 5km route; and Tony Correia, for winning the 10km run.
SUPPORTING PARTNERS: Katherine Jutronich from Aspen with representatives from Irwin’s Animal Shelter.
Family first
I was very blessed to be able to celebrate my Gran Eileen’s 80th birthday with her in Pennington, KwaZulu-Natal two weekends ago - firstly, because God blessed me with the finances to fly down for the weekend; and secondly, and most importantly, because my Gran is still with us and we could celebrate together. I must admit my view on family has drastically changed since I became a re-born Christian. It has become so clear how important family is and how you must treasure the relationships you have with your relatives. It makes me wish that my eyes and heart were opened much sooner to Jesus Christ so I could have had many more years treasuring my family, not only from the age of 29 when I became a believer. I think of my grandfather - I did not make an effort for his 80th birthday - yes, I might have phoned but I could have also gone and celebrated with him, but it is too late now, because he has been dancing in heaven with Jesus for two years now and I will have the chance to apologise to him soul to soul when my time on earth comes to an end. On this weekend, I was so at peace - I was content and never once thought about work. My stress was washed away by the crushing waves of the sea and it was so clearly revealed to me that my life is not only about chasing stories, making deadlines, paying all my bills every month. That is only a part of life, and the least important. My life with God and my family is the most important - there is a Laurelle outside of my work and she is at peace and in love with life and her journey with God. My focus should be on that journey; however, that is easier said than done. By this Thursday I was so boggled down with work, by stress and emotional conflict, it was like the weekend away never happened, but all I have to do is remember the smile and joy on my Gran’s face at her party to remember that family comes first.

City of Johannesburg hosts AMEU Convention The City of Johannesburg, in conjunction with City Power, will host the 64th Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (AMEU) Convention to be held at Gallagher Estate in Midrand from 5 to 8 October. The theme for this year’s convention is “Moving towards Southern Africa’s electricity networks of the future.” The AMEU is an association of municipal electricity distributors as well as national, parastatal, commercial, academic and other organisations that have a direct interest in the electricity supply industry in Southern Africa and most South African municipalities are members. The AMEU promotes quality of service and management excellence among its members in the field of electricity supply, and facilitates communication between its members within the technical, economic and political environment, in order to influence change. “As proud hosts of the 2014 AMEU meeting, the City will showcase its capabilities and ability to use information and communication technology (ICT) to merge dimensions of smart utilities, smart mobility, green environment and
infrastructure development. The objective is to improve the profile of the City of Johannesburg as a prime destination for investors, tourists and events alike and position it as a world class African city,” said Clr Matshidiso Mfikoe, the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Environment, Infrastructure and Services in the City of Johannesburg. In the interests of electricity distributors and all categories of end users in the electricity supply industry in Southern Africa, it also provides an advisory service to its members and their customers. The thematic sessions will focus on key issues such as cable theft, moving towards Southern Africa’s electricity networks of the future, smart grinds, tariffs/pricing, smart metering, embedded generation, the impact of the new health and safety (construction) regulations on municipal and design electrical engineers. In addition to the statutory meetings, progress on several electricity initiatives will also be presented during the convention. Follow AMEU on twitter @The_AMEU or website on www.ameu.co.za

Gold - Joburg’s heritage South Africans celebrate their diversity of cultures, beliefs and traditions on Heritage Day, 24 September, with Tourism Month, so it is fitting for Johannesburg residents to celebrate the heritage of Egoli - the City of Gold - as well. Become a tourist in your own backyard and visit Gold Reef City. THE GOLD MINE TOUR While taking the gold mine tour, tame TIMES learned how Johannesburg came into being and how gold was discovered on the Reef, as well as something of the lives of the pioneering men and women who formed an integral part of our rich and fascinating heritage. The gold-pouring demonstrations and the underground tours of the mine are equally enlightening. Visitors can go down to level 2, which is 75m

under ground. Unfortunately, due to acid mining, all the other levels are immersed in water and cannot be viewed, but visiting the second level is extremely interesting and offers a glimpse into the tough lives of Jozi’s early miners. Visitors are assisted by tour guides who are on hand at all times to answer questions. Hard hats and flashlights are provided, and it is advisable to wear flat, comfortable shoes. During the gold-pouring demonstrations, visitors can feel the heat, and see and touch a real gold bar. To go to Gold Reef City is to be transported back in time to a mining town from the 1880s, where you can walk around authentic homes of miners and sit over the river, panning for gold.

Letters How can we help you to boost our profits?
Sjoe mensies! Die afgelope naweek was vir ek en Gysie een van ongewone avontuur. Ons het behoorlik soos twee waaghalse opgetree! My jongste dogter het ons bederf met kaartjies na Pretoria se lugskou! My ore suis nou nog van die straalvliegtuie wat vlak bo ons koppe hul toertjies uitgevoer het.Ek kan my nie verbeel hoe dit moet voel om teen 1000 km per uur deur die lug te trek nie. My maag is uiters sensitief, so ek sal dit beslis nie hou nie. Gysie het op die grens gedurende die oorlog soms in helikopters gevlieg. Hy vertel dat dit van die beste dae van sy lewe was; vol avontuur en adrenalien, al was dit ook hartseer. ‘n Mens onthou maar die soet bo die suur daarvan. Boonop die spoed van hierdie straalvliegtuie kos dit blykbaar net so duur: om en by R250miljoen per straalvliegtuig! ‘n Mens kan amper nie glo dat so ‘n lugmasjien wat slegs twee vervoer so duur kan wees nie. Ek dink dit is bloot om te pronk! Tip: Laat jou waaghalsige kant toe om so af en toe die leisels van jou lewe oor te neem. Al lyk dit hoe belaglik of mal, dalk ontdek jy dat jy brawer is as wat jy gedink het.

Rehabilitate rather than punish A teacher and parent writes:
With regard to the Mondeor High disciplinary hearing and punishment: Are we not supposed to rehabilitate rather than punish? I am not condoning their actions, but I believe that these are children
who are adolescents, who are under peer pressure. They should be taught responsibility and forced to appreciate animals. The verdict was fair, considering their age.
The Johannesburg SPCA would like to say a very big thank you to Vabakshnee Chetty, the well known SABC2 News and SAFM news anchor who visited the JSPCA on 18 September and made a substantial financial donation to the work they do. Vabakshnee is JSPCA’s ambassador and completely embodies what the JSPCA believes in and has shown continuous
commitment towards their work. The donation is just in time for International Rabies Day which falls on Sunday 28 September. The aim for this day is to educate communities on the importance of ensuring their pets are vaccinated - not only against the potentially fatal disease of rabies, but other diseases as well.
A group of some one hundred supporters, including various direct descendants of General Koos de la Rey, gathered at Langlaagte on 14 September at the exact place where he was killed in a police roadblock one hundred years ago on the evening of 15 September 1914. Some of the people present laid wreaths at the foot of a two-metre high white cross. René de Villiers, who arranged the event, paid tribute to the venerated veteran of the war against the British Empire which took place from 1899 to 1902. Both warrior and peace-maker, he strove for unity in Afrikaner ranks at a time of great Protect yourself, your family and your community by political turmoil in ensuring your pets are vaccinated against Rabies and the country.

the Union. According to de Villiers, the big question, which to this day remains unanswered, is whether de la Rey would have joined the Rebellion. That his substantial influence one way or the other would have made a difference to the outcome of the Rebellion – which in fact petered out after some months - is not disputed. “It is ironic that a roadblock-trap set for a common criminal and bank robber had such a profound influence on the course of South African history,” de Villiers said. Prof Koos de la Rey from Rayton, a descendant of the late General’s uncle, stated, “It is important that this day be remembered for he laid down his life for this country. Something which has been passed on from one de la Rey generation to the next is to get things to work, and the General achieved this.” A commemorative plaque will be erected to replace the old plaque, which was stolen. Anyone who wants to make an input about the wording of the plaque is invited to contact René de Villiers on 083 317 4339.

DirectfromParliament Transport Department is becoming the Department of Deception
I recently wrote to By Manny de Freitas MP, the chairperson of Shadow Minister of Parliament’s Standing Transport, Member Committee on Public of Parliament for Accounts (SCOPA), Johannesburg South Themba Godi, requesting that the CEO of Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), Lucky Montana, be summoned to Parliament to account for the spending of public money on political propaganda unrelated to the mandate of the agency. My request was as a result of the appearance of an insert in 8 national newspapers, entitled the “The Jacob Zuma Legacy Special,” totally sponsored by PRASA, a state-owned entity. Replies to questions I posed to the Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, claim that the newspaper insert appeared in nine publications and cost the taxpayer an astronomical R4 642 725,57. It was commissioned “… to tell PRASA’s story, through advertising, [and its] bold and ambitious plans to bring the best passenger rail services in the country…”. The 16-page insert was simply a glorification of President Jacob Zuma’s previous term as head of state with no reference to PRASA’s own mandate. This was a pure political propaganda exercise. The insert bears no connection to PRASA’s mandate. Replies by the Minister to other questions I posed indicate that another governmentowned entity, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) is also not sticking to its mandate. I have been fighting the increasing, but furtive, intimidation attempts by Gauteng traffic authorities in conjunction with SANRAL. Motorists are stopped at road blocks where SANRAL-branded vehicles are imposingly parked. The Minister’s reply in this regard reads, “I trust the Honourable Member will agree that every possible means must be used to combat criminal activity on our roads to reduce the unacceptable high level of carnage.” This is a no-brainer. Of course I and all South Africans are united in the fight against our unacceptably high levels of road carnage! The issue is that SANRAL is using taxpayer’s money to conduct activities outside of its mandate. Other government enntities already exist to fulfil this exact mandate. The reply confirms that “approximately R772 100” has been spent on these law enforcement exercises, “...a small price to pay to improve road safety”. How can over R700 000 be viewed as “a small price to pay?” This statement is made in a vacuum, with no empirically measurable way of determining that indeed these exercises actually contributed to road safety. Replies to other questions I posed to the Minister confirm that over R1 billion went to irregular expenditure. The figures tell us a story - taxpayer’s money is not being respected; procedures and proper approvals are simply being ignored. The R1 078 476 847 could have been better spent paying off the SANRAL R1 billion e-toll debt that Minister Dipuo Peters admitted it has. The waste of money that I describe could have been better utilised in ensuring the provision of better, improved and cheaper services to millions of South African commuters and businesses, irrespective of the mode of transport that they use.

Designer tile, tap and sanware retailer, Italtile, has added a distinctive bling to our southern suburbs. Following a very stylish grand opening in September last year, there has been growing interest in their exclusive ranges imported from around the world. Notes Italtile The Glen manager, Francois Kruger, “The market in the southern suburbs has taken a remarkable step up. A rising affluence has seen an increase in the demand for lifestyles that involve superior quality with broader range.” Italtile’s exclusive basin, toilet and bidet ranges from world-renowned Swiss manufacturer Laufen are a case in the point. Whether you’re wanting a large, double-basin design statement or a sleek little guest loo touch, your options are plentiful. And the effect truly beautiful. The tile range caters to the most discerning style as well as a conscious pocket. The taps on display look like they belong in the movies. A star-studded range, but at accessible prices. Adds Kruger, “Shoppers are a lot more informed these days. We’re all exposed to international trends and fashionable product developments. There is also a wider appreciation for premium design and quality that not only sets you apart, but delivers real value because it lasts longer.”

Traced and nabbed
A 24-year-old woman was arrested in Bez Valley, Jeppe on 16 September for a house robbery and possession of stolen property. The incident occurred on the same morning in Jane Street, Ridgeway. She was arrested by the Mondeor Tracing Team through one of the cellphones which was stolen in the house.
RECOVERED: on the same day
A 34-year-old suspect was convicted to five years imprisonment on 11 September for attempted hijacking due to the good work of lady in blue Sgt LP Sithole.
ARRESTED: A 24-yearold woman
Found with crocodiles in house
Council
Neighbour catches hijacker
Two suspects were arrested in Verona Street, Rosettenville on 3 September for possession of an endangered species when three small crocodiles were found in their house. SAPS Organised Crime members arrested the suspects, who said they had bought the reptiles. Mr Ndlozi from Nature Conservation was called to the scene and identified the crocodiles, which the suspects were keeping in a glass tank, as a protected species.
The incident occurred in Kingsley Crescent in Mondeor, when the would-be hijacker tried to rob the complainant as she was reversing out of her driveway. Fortunately, her screams made the suspect flee and brought her neighbor running. The brave neighbour apprehended the suspect and the case was assigned to Sgt LP Sithole for further investigation.
Moffatview SAPS sector 2 CPF public meeting18 October The Sector 2 CPF will be having their public meeting on 18 October from 14:00 to 16:00 at Marian College, East Road, Linmeyer. All residents of the following areas are requested and encouraged to attend: Oakdene, Eastcliff, Glen Eagles, Towerby, Townsview, Glenanda North and Linmeyer.
No water, huge frustration
Residents in several areas of the City of Johannesburg spent their weekend without water, standing in queues at water tankers waiting to fill buckets for their most basic needs. This comes after the water supply in the four storage facilities, Alexandra Park reservoir, South Hills, Quellerina and Waterval towers, became depleted. Rand Water is currently experiencing problems at their pump stations and, as a result, water is not feeding into the above reservoirs at a normal rate. They are working on rectifying the situation and Joburg Water said on Friday that they expected the water supply to improve by Sunday. The suburbs affected by these reservoirs include Malvern, Benrose, Denver, Westdene, Coronationville, Winchester Hills Ext 3, Tulisa Park, Rosettenville, Bezuidenhout Valley, Kensington, Risana, South Hills, Quellerina, Waterval, Bergbron, Whiteridge, Robertsham and the surrounding areas. Joburg Water made temporary supplies of water available by placing water tankers at: South Hills Tower, Malvern (Corner 1st and Persimmon Street) and Westdene (Corner of Fourth and Thornton Roads and in the parking lot of U-Save shop).They are in the process of deploying more water tankers to
other affected areas. On Sunday Joburg Water said some water reservoirs towers had good recovery rate of the storage facilities resulting in residents starting to get water supply. Other areas in the South that experienced low pressures include: Crown Garden Tower – Crown Garden, Winchester Hills, Meredale and surrounding areas Brixton reservoir &Tower – Brixton, Crosby, Langlaagte, Mayfair, Braamfontein, Forest Hill, Crownthorn and surrounding areas. Joburg Water has appealed to all residents to use water sparingly; because, if the demand continues to increase, the reservoirs and water towers are going to run very low, resulting in no water in some areas. DA councillors concerned The Democratic Alliance councillors in the City of Johannesburg are extremely concerned about the continual water and power outages that the residents of the City of Johannesburg experienced last week. “Not only do these outages outrage our residents and City dwellers, but cause severe
lack of confidence in the City Council’s ability to secure services to its inhabitants and businesses,” PR Clr Peter Stewart said. He added that the residents of Johannesburg not only experience severe shortages and outages of water and electricity, but also suffer as a result of a severe administrative disaster in the billing department. Clr Fay Chame, who is the ward councillor of South Hills and Tulisa Park, told tame TIMES, “This is a crisis and Joburg Water could not indicate to me by when the water will be restored. I have Old Age Homes in my ward that haven’t had water since Friday. The government should have a back-up plan for what is happening now.” Share your thoughts on this article with at laurelle@tametimes.co.za

You can park this pen anywhere
DESIGNER PEN: The limited edition Duofold Parker pen retails at R350 000. At the official launch at Scarlet Ribbon in StoneRidge Centre, Parker showcased the new additions to their Duofold, IM&Urban and Jotter ranges. Parker has spent 125 years pioneering innovation, style and unique craftsmanship in fine writing instruments, giving consumers the confidence to write their own stories and now new finishes have been added to the world renowned brand.
Parker IM Pink Pearl will seduce modern women looking for a stylish writing accessory.
Duofold: Parker revives three of its most historical colours: Big Red, Lapis Lazuli and White Ivorine of the emblematic Duofold. Created in 1921, with acrylic finishes and an 18K gold nib, the elegant and premium pen encapsulates Parker’s unique writing experience. Duofold continues to be the flagship of Parker and is seen by collectors as an icon of fine writing pens. A replica of the limited edition Duofold pen that is retailed at R350 000 was also showcased. The pen is encrusted with gold and diamonds. Parker reveals six new luxurious and contemporary finishes for its IM and Urban lines. The new collection is inspired by the emblematic Vacumatic pen which took the industry by storm when it was first launched in 1933.
Jotter: Parker celebrates the vibrant history of the iconic Jotter ballpoint by unveiling four new editions in a retro colour palette: Coral, Grey green, Pink and Whiteness, inspired by early models from the 1950s. This stunning 2014 revival is a one-year special edition release which celebrates Parker’s 125th anniversary of pen-making excellence.
Parker IM: The distinctive design of the sophisticated IM Brown Pearl with its satin shine and the smart Emerald Pearl with its timeless graphite tones are perfect for business and personal writing. The delicate
Urban: The Urban line revives the Golden Pearl and the Silver-Blue Pearl finishes that immediately impress with their intense colour radiance and premium satin touch. The Urban Amethyst Pearl joins the range with a bold contemporary colour directly inspired by the historical Vacumatic.
Parker is recognised worldwide for its use of high quality materials and the company puts its renowned expertise into every pen through rigorous testing and attention to detail. In 1962, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain awarded Parker the Royal Warrant, a mark of recognition for Parker’s commitment to the highest standards of service and excellence, which the brand maintains to this day. Parker continues to believe in the importance of writing, because the words we speak can be heard by many, but the words we write transcend time. For more information on the new ranges please visit ww.tametimes.co.za or www. parkerpen.com.
The risks of tax evasion and avoidance Faced with rising expenses and income which cannot keep up with inflation, many ordinary South African taxpayers are tempted to try to find ways to avoid or evade paying tax - but such efforts usually often end up costing the wouldbe tax dodger more than he or she would need to pay in the first place. Johan Swart, tax manager, Legal and Tax said, “Tax evasion is outright illegal, while tax avoidance is frowned upon by government and SARS, and both are arguably immoral. Though taxpayers can sometimes feel frustrated by how government spends public funds, paying tax is a legal obligation and a part of the social contract.” Tax avoidance defined Tax avoidance can be defined as trying to reduce or delay paying tax by exploiting loopholes in tax laws and regulations. SARS has closed off most tax avoidance loopholes such as: • Getting your company to pay your salary into a trust so that you can flow the income to different companies and individuals and benefit from the lower tax rates that low-income earners pay • Invoicing your sole employer for your salary through a company As an example trusts should not be used as tax avoidance schemes, such as streaming income from rental and capital gains through family trusts, but to protect assets for various reasons. Trusts can however be complicated and expensive to set up. Whether you are rich or poor, the bottom line is that SARS takes a dim view of tax avoidance. The Tax Administration Act contains antiavoidance clauses to prevent tax payers from trying to avoid tax. This law means that SARS can ignore any arrangement or agreement entered into for the sole purpose of creating a tax benefit and force you to
pay the full tax amount owing. Tax evasion defined Tax evasion about using illegal actions to evade paying tax, primarily: • Failing to declare your income from all sources, including salaries, commissions, rental, interest, and income earned from offshore investments. • Declaring false expenses or inflating expenses to benefit from a tax deduction. • Penalties for tax evasion can be steep if you are caught—up to 200% of the tax evaded. For example, if you receive R 25 000 in foreign interest, the tax payable would be R 4 000. If you do not declare this income, the penalty will be R 8 000, on top of the tax payable, making the amount due to SARS R12 000. Legal, acceptable means of reducing your tax bill There are, however, some legal ways to reduce the amount of tax that you pay that SARS approves of. These include deductions such as: • If you receive a travelling allowance, to optimize the tax benefit. • Tax deductible retirement annuity contributions. • Income protection premiums (insurance against injuries or disabilities that leave you unable to work). • Donations to registered charities. • Medical aid contributions and medical expenses. A good tax consultant can help you to take advantage of these tax benefits. “No one likes paying tax, but taxes are essential to keep the country running smoothly, pay for public services and invest in infrastructure. Ordinary taxpayers suffer when others do not pay their fair share – they end up carrying more of the tax burden. The tax burden is far lighter when we all play our part,” Swart concluded.
Spring/Summer trends 2014/15 Spring has finally arrived and it is all about confidence and power with looks ranging from tribal glam, luxurious sportswear and couture ready-to-wear. This doesn’t mean that you cannot embrace your feminine side, as the latest designs add a softer more sensuous side to the season. The tribal warrior look is back sending out women “warriors” dressed in chequerboard prints decorated with Indian beadwork, embroidery and ostrich feathers. This tribal look is made to be worn with confidence and pride. The athletic trend has been lingering for a while, but this Spring/Summer designers have added a high fashion attitude to the classic sportswear look. While technical fabrics made an appearance, it is all about luxury. Relaxed jumpsuits are glammed up with shiny fabrics; mesh tops made of suede are matched with basketball shorts and silk track pants. You can also wear a tank top with black netted track pants embroidered with gold. It is all about working out your style this summer. The line separating couture from ready-towear is fading as designers are differentiating
themselves with impeccable craftsmanship, couture fabrics and detail - again featuring embroidery and bead work transforming the well-known couture style fashion into an everyday street wear look with a touch of femininity.
10 must-have items for Spring
Slip-on flats: Typically low lace-less comfy flat beach sandals available in every variation this season. Colourful coat: This outerwear appeared in most collections in modern pastel colours. Pleats: Get a skirt or dress with pleats to complement your chic look this season. Bomber jackets: This look can be toned down for a softer look with floral prints or silk fabrics. Logo/slogan Tee: Make a statement with a branded Tee or a slogan that express something about you. Metallics: Fashion featuring lame and colours like gold will be spotted everywhere. Crop tops: If you dare expose a little bit more
skin, a crop top is a must-have. Shirtdress: Versatile and easy to wear for different occasions. Techno florals: Floral prints can complement your look and add femininity.

Last week Randeor School held their first revue in 25 years - En Route last week. The school held an Eisteddfod last year and due to the response of the children and the discovery of their talent, a decision was made to hold the revue. The children performed three nights in a row from last Wednesday to Friday. Wednesday and Friday performances were for family members and school learners, while on Thursday night, SGB members and other VIPS were invited. The show, which included dance sequences from various songs would not have been possible without Hardi van der
Westhuizen, who put the entertaining show together, and Gail and Jolene who were the dance choreographers. The whole revue incorporated all the learners, as the hospitality learners made all the eats for the VIPs, the cosmetology learners did the participating learners’ hair and make-up and the woodwork learners made the props. Well done to Randeor School for putting on such a professional show - the joy and smiles on the children’s faces while they performed will forever be remembered. To see all the photographs of the revue please visit tame TIMES Facebook page.

arrangement, with Colin Hall the contact person to help resolve any queries. Badge-holders can bring guests into the parade ring, using day badges that will be distributed from information kiosks on the various racecourses. The dress code has been revised and relaxed, but does not allow short pants and sandals. Also, children under 12 years of age may not enter the parade ring for safety reasons, and now that the introduction trial period has been successfully concluded, stricter measures will apply to ensure that access and dress code are adhered to.
