Last Wednesday was an exceptional day for South African Climate Reality leaders, Ella Bella, Catherine Constantinides and their exclusive guests when their 24 Hours of Reality event, hosted at 54 on Bath, featured a live conference call with former US Vice President and Climate Reality Chairperson, Al Gore. 24 Hours of Reality is a global awareness drive, spearheaded by Al Gore. It aims to educate the public about the true “cost of carbon” in numerous globally pertinent situations. The official event kicked off at 11:00 PST on 22 October and featured numerous expert-led discussions, presentations and educational sessions at several locations across the globe. The Nobel Laureate congratulated the Miss Earth South Africa and Generation Earth organisations for all that they do to assist with climate change adaptation. Gore touched on key points relating to the true global cost of carbon, which were later discussed in greater detail by the Constantinides sisters. Their presentation focused on climate-related issues specifically affecting SA, such as drought and the implications thereof, which include famine, rising food prices and food shortage-related conflict, as well as the true cost of SA’s coal dependent energy sector and the effects of the increasingly erratic global weather patterns. “The effects of climate change are felt every day, across the globe, from steadily increasing average temperatures to the rising levels of the world’s oceans, and yet climate change is still considered to be a notion concocted by
scientists and environmentalists as opposed to a reality facing global citizens,” Constantinides said. To view the conference call with Al Gore please visit http:// y o u t u . b e / Pusz3xRVarQ.

two special accolades: Best 4 Star Hotel in Gauteng by the Lilizela Tourism Awards for 2013 and the status of being a Fair Trade Tourism Business. The great news was shared with their staff at their monthly Mountain Tea event, where more goodness was celebrated, including the TYB Community Awards. This month two organisations were recognised, Sanitary Sisterz and D&D Tactical Security. According to Palesa Kgoadi, founder of Sanitary Sisterz, povertystricken girls could miss up to 50 days of school per year due to a lack of access to adequate sanitary products. Through donations, Sanitary Sisterz is able to care for 350 girls in four schools in Soweto, by providing them with a Dignity Pack. These packs contain a bar of soap, toothpaste, roll-on and sanitary pads, which cost R100 to collect. Sanitary Sisterz relies purely on donations and educates girls on caring for themselves. Their award was accompanied by a cheque of R10 000 from the hotel. ACCEPTING AWARDS: CEO of Thaba Ya Batswana, Reuben D&D Tactical was recognised for the great impact they have on the Louw, with recipients of TYB’s latest community awards, Palesa community. The security company not only monitors and protects Kgoadi (Sanitary Sisterz) and Donnovan Ledwick and Kayde homes, but actively engages and apprehends criminals regularly.

What do you do for your pets during
fireworks?
Towards the end of every year there are various celebrations and calendar events that involve the use of fireworks Guy Fawkes, Diwali, Christmas and New Year. Each year there are sad stories where an animal is hurt due to trying to escape the bangs of fireworks. Why not make this and the coming years different? You as a pet owner need to ensure that your pets are kept happy and safe during this time. Even though JSPCA will continue to strive to stop fireworks, in the interim your pets still need to be taken care of. What works for you may work for other pet owners. Let JSPCA know what you do and they can share this with the community. Some advice from JSPCA - Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise earlier in the day. Try a light jog or brisk walk, play a game of Frisbee or fetch to tire him out. Jogging with cats is not recommended. - Keep pets indoors when thunderstorms or fireworks are expected, preferably with human companionship. - Close all windows,curtains and doors
where possible to block out flashing lights and sounds. - Provide toys, treats and other distractions to keep pets occupied. A frozen treat like a chicken stock popsicle is advised. Try to stay home with your pet if fireworks or thunderstorms are expected. - Speak to your pet’s vet about supplements and medication available for managing anxiety caused by loud noises. - Turn on music or the TV to muffle the sounds of thunder or fireworks. Nothing too loud, classical music is great. It is most effective when you first play the music well before the thunderstorm or fireworks start, at a time the dog is already peaceful and relaxed. Sparky will begin to associate the music with being calm and content. Then play the music a couple of hours before the thunderstorm or fireworks start and continue to play through bedtime. Make sure your pet is micro-chipped or appropriately tagged for easy identification if they become lost. Like JSPCA on Facebook: Johannesburg and Krugersdorp SPCA

Larry Thompson writes: I have a number of questions regarding the whole e-tolling process, the first of which is: what happens to all the money collected via the fuel levy (I’ve heard figures of R40 billion or more bandied about)? This levy was imposed on us to pay for road maintenance and upgrading, yet I wonder how much (if anything) has actually been allocated for that purpose over the last 20 years. This alone would have covered the full cost of the Gauteng upgrade process. Secondly, what is the actual cost of the upgrading of the highways, excluding the massive cost of the e-toll gantries? We then need to strip out the cost of administering this cumbersome system, which will include a budget for law enforcement. My guess is that this cost will be much more than 40% of the total costs of the whole project, which we are now expected to pay for. The whole argument, which is used in favour of the project, seems to revolve around a “user pays” principal. To state that those who do not use the highways do not gain from the upgrade is nonsense. If the highways are not in place, all roads in Gauteng will take extra strain (which is probably what will happen with people trying to avoid the tolls). As the economic heart of South Africa, an increase in transport costs here will affect prices throughout the country. There is already an exemption for mini-bus taxis that won’t have to pay tolls, so where does the “user pay” principal apply here? Or is this “concession” possibly due to the fact that there will be difficulties in enforcing payment from an industry that is notorious for flouting the law? Let’s look at an alternative funding method. Ignoring the fact that we already pay by means of the above mentioned fuel levy, why can the authorities not add an extra cent or two per litre to the cost of fuel in Gauteng? The price already differs to other regions, so they cannot claim it can’t be done. Yes, it will mean a little extra strain, spread across all road users, but the cost would be far lower and far easier to administer. Finally, what happened regarding the public hearings that took place a couple of months ago? These were rolled out with great fanfare to appease the public once it became known that there was major opposition to e-tolling. As far as I am aware, there were only dissenting voices at these hearings, yet nothing has changed. I have always been under the impression that public hearings are held to actually gauge public opinion, not just to tick a box on a ‘To Do’ list and then to ignore the outcome of said hearings. What has become of “listening to the voice of the people”? Apart from government, SANRAL and those who will benefit financially from this system, has anybody made positive submissions regarding this system? There are many other unanswered questions regarding this debacle, but I believe that these points alone should be enough to put a stop to the project. It may be an over-simplification of a complex situation, but I believe that this makes a strong case for civil disobedience if the powers that be refuse to listen to the majority and refuse to look at alternatives.

REASONING: Robin Harwood feels that Kirsty Theologo’s death has led him to God. Last Thursday the South Gauteng High Court, sitting in Palm Ridge Court, heard clinical psychologist Suzette Heath’s testimony about Robin Harwood, one of the four accused in the Theologo trial. Heath was requested by Legal Aid to do a clinical psychology evaluation on Harwood. Harvey Isha, Courtney Daniels, Lindon Wagner and Harwood are accused of murder, attempted murder and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Kirsty Theologo passed away in 2011 after her and Bronwyn Grammer were doused with petrol and set alight on a hill in Linmeyer in what was supposed to be a soul selling ritual. Grammer survived. Lester Moody and Jeremy King are

already serving their sentence after pleading guilty. Heath says Harwood is fit to stand trial and he knows the difference between right and wrong. She also went on to say that he is trying to find meaning in what he did and that he feels that Kristy’s death has led him to God. She added that he hasn’t shown remorse in the true sense of the word. The court heard Heath stating that she did question whether Harwood was telling the truth to her and that it was noted down in her hard copy statement. A lot of questions regarding memory was raised. Heath responded that memory is complex. “It could be perfectly possible that he stated something earlier but couldn’t remember later, or it could be him trying to lessen his contribution to the murder, “Heath said. Heath went on to explain that the social pressures of being in a group, the fact that they were going to ‘deal with the devil’ and the intake of drugs and alcohol all played a factor in Harwood doing what he did. “He wasn’t thinking of the consequences but rather of what he was going to get from it.” Heath said. The group had planned to sell their souls in order to get wisdom, fame, power and money. Each of the accused (except Isha) chose one of these as their wish on the night of the ritual. The trail continues today. Accused no four, Lindon Wagner’s psychologist takes the stand.
Copper pipe theft harms vulnerable children Over the past month Cotlands has battled a series of copper pipe thefts that have left the non-profit organisation without water. The consequences are dire as the child care unit, which houses and cares for abandoned babies, cannot provide these children with one of the most basic of human rights – the right to water. The theft further impacts on the organisation’s charitable work in the community, as funds that should be used to improve the quality of life for vulnerable children now has to be channelled towards the repair and replacement of piping. “This is an unnecessary spending of donor funds. As a non-profit organisation that depends on the goodwill of others we cannot
afford these kinds of costs,” said Cotlands CEO Jackie Schoeman. This is the third copper theft incident this month. The theft has already cost the organisation more than R5000. The cost of replacing the copper pipes with plastic is yet to be determined. Cotlands appeals to its neighbours and to the community at large to be vigilant and to assist in preventing further damage to its property. “Cotlands provides a valuable service to the children of Johannesburg and we appeal to those who steal and to those who buy stolen copper to think about the consequences of their actions,” added Schoeman.

Dragon boat race: the good, the bad and the funny
AVID COMPETITORS: It was all smiles and hyped-up energy for the tame TIMES team.
GOOD SPIRIT: The NuDebt team still happy after falling into the dam after a win.
SOJO and Golden City Dragon Boat Club held their 10th Annual Spring Festival at Old Ouens Pub and Sports Bar at Wemmer Pan Lake on 19 October. The event entailed three aspects - the good, the bad and the funny and tame TIMES was there to capture everything. The good The Annual Spring Festival raises funds for Breast Cancer Awareness. A tribute was paid to Rachel Katz from Reach for Recovery who passed away early this year after a recurrence of cancer. She was not only a breast cancer survivor, but will be remembered as the vibrant woman who over the past nine years actively gathered breast cancer survivors to take part in the dragon boat race. Eight teams took part. The DA team was definitely the loudest and should be awarded the spirit award. New teams that took part were T.U.P.A, Signman and NuDebt, who made a definite splash on the day. tame TIMES took part for their second year. Other regulars were Weir Minerals, Reach for Recovery and SOJO. The SOJO team won for the third year running. Weir Minerals came second, and Signman was third. tame TIMES came fourth. The bad According to Nicky Vakaloudis, CEO of SOJO, the final approval from The City of Joburg’s Joint Operations Committee (JOC) for the event was positive. However, that day JMPD started issuing parking tickets to the public. “This fiasco chased away a good
number of spectators and caused irrefutable damage to the event. No member of the VOC (Venue Operations Committee), apart from one EMS officer, showed up to assist with the safety of the event. Disappointments rolled on when the fire engine did not arrive as promised; only four out of twenty SAPS members were present to police the event; only two out of eight JMPD events and bylaw enforcement officers arrived, just in time for their free lunch; the electrical boxes were not operating and the stall keepers had to make other plans to cook food for the public,” Vakaloudis said. tame TIMES has requested comment from EMS events. The funny Hats off to the NuDebt team, as said they made a definite splash at the event. This occurred after their second race, which they won. With their elated victory the boat capsized with all members having to swim to shore. Their good spirit was seen as all of them came out of the dam with a smile on their face and they were back in dry clothes for the final race. They placed sixth. The organisers would like to thank PIKITUP for providing litter bins, EMS Pier Department for the bicycle medics, the Red Ants for portable toilets, the jumping castle sponsored by Stallion and the SAPS Water Wing team for ensuring safety on the water. Bialla Morena Belly Dancing Studio and Elvis for the entertainment, Old Ouens for the use of the venue, and Clr Bev Turk.

Norma Rudham writes:
Al ooit gewonder wat jou grootste vrees is? Ek praat nie van spinnekoppe, slange of ander uitlandse spesies nie. Ook nie van verdrink of versmoor nie. Ek praat van jou diepste innerlike vrees. Gysie het altyd gelag vir myne, tot hy eendag besef het wat ek regtig daarmee bedoel. My heel grootste vrees op hierdie aarde is dat ek eendag dalk my aardse tyd met die ewige gaan verwissel sonder dat ek werklik gelewe het. ‘n Mens sien hierdie soort ding elke dag. Ek raak sommer hartseer wanneer ek met iemand gesels en besef dat hulle net bestaan, dood is voor hulle gelewe het. Gys sê altyd dat jy ‘n jong iemand kry (kom ons sê vyftig) wat die lewe aangryp met alles in hulle. Hierdie jong vyftigjariges het gewoonlik ‘n moderne haarstyl, dra klere wat nie lyk asof dit uit die groot depressie ontsnap het nie en rond hul voorkoms af met ‘n bypassende glimlag. Dan kry jy VYFTIG. Die mense wat jy kan sien nie eers die moeite doen om ‘n ‘mid-life crisis’ te beleef nie. Dit sommer net heeltemal oorsien en wag vir die lewe om verby te gaan. Dít is my grootste vrees. Ek weet nie van julle nie, maar ek dink hierdie is die perfekte geleentheid om in die kar te klim en vir my ‘n lekker nuwe lipstiffie aan te skaf - ‘n helder rooi wat wys: ek lewe! Tip: Moenie doodgaan sonder dat jy gelewe het nie.
The time of fireworks that is dreaded by pet owners and animal welfare societies will be with us again. I would just like to appeal to members of the public that whatever the occasion, be it Dewali, Guy Fawkes or New Year, can it please be a time of peace and goodwill to all, which these occasion are supposed to be? We are all tired of seeing all the complaints appearing in the papers year after year about the disturbance and upset caused as well as the irritating letters appearing in the defence of this practice. There is enough upset in this country with all the strikes, fraud, murders, drugs etc, without neighbours fighting among themselves. I don’t know if our ward councillors have anything in mind to try and control this issue, such as appealing to home owners or taking up petitions. Any effort to avoid the usual friction will be appreciated. I await their comments. I did notice that a communal celebration with dancers and fireworks was held at Gold Reef City. I think this is a step in the right direction. I don’t know if the celebration area is close to any homes but hopefully not. Let’s hope we have an uneventful and quiet period from now until the end of the year, and first and foremost let us consider the animals.

I complimented them on their efficiency, for which they were very grateful. I referred an application for a friend who is computer illiterate to Angel. She immediately sorted the application and sent me an e-mail. She also phoned the friend, who was not home yet after he left our home, and left a message. He phoned me back and was very impressed with the quick results. Your actions have really had good results. I do hope that things will get moving now.

by Manny de Freitas MP The decision and actions by the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) to ignore the 9800 objections from people in Midvaal to amalgamate this local authority into the new Emfuleni Metro speaks volumes about its impartiality, which clearly isn’t there. For months now the citizens of the Midvaal municipality have been hard at work expressing their opposition to this amalgamation. After all, who can blame them? Midvaal is the best municipality in Gauteng. The ANC provincial government itself released results of its report that ranked Midvaal as the best in Gauteng in terms of quality of life. Due to its rapid economic growth, Midvaal is the fastest growing municipality in the province. In December 2010 Midvaal was ranked 23rd of 231 municipalities, placing it in the 10% of high scoring municipalities in the country. Recently Midvaal moved up 10 places in the annual Municipal Productivity Index for South Africa, placing it within the top 5% of all local governments in the country. Not everyone is happy with these successes, certainly the ANC isn’t. Midvaal has shown up all the other ANC-run councils. The giant metros in Gauteng are particularly annoyed, especially considering that they have a healthier rates base, infrastructure and budget and yet can’t get their act right the way that Midvaal has. They appear oblivious to the fact that the ANC policies of cadre deployment, continuous mal-administration and corruption, their arrogance and attitude of unaccountability are a great part of the problem. In order to stop Midvaal from achieving those “thorn-in-their-side” successes, and to stop that pesky mayor and his committee from continuing this good work, the ANC did what it has traditionally done: use its loyal and subservient institution, the MDB. They intend to make Midvaal disappear, ensure that it is “swallowed up” into the Emfuleni Metro so that it can feed off the Midvaal successes. They then start providing the sub-standard service that the rest of Emfuleni and surrounding areas have been getting so that the DA’s excellent legacy can start disappearing. I have no doubt that the Demarcation Board will defend itself as an independent and democratic institution that works for, and respects, the will of the people. If this is the case, I find it rather strange that Mayor Baloyi was prevented from sitting in at the Demarcation Board’s announcement on its Midvaal decision. This is unthinkable and ludicrous; surely the mayor of the affected local authority should’ve been allowed to listen to a MDB decision made about the municipality he leads. The MDB actions tell us where they stand. Every legal tool will be used to fight what is the ANC’s main objective: to be in power and control no matter what. The ANC can no longer take the fact that more people of Midvaal from all communities continue to vote for the DA election after election. The more the local council does for its people, the more its people personally enjoy its fruits and want to return the government that so effectively and efficiently serves them. This is the basis of democracy.
What’s in a Word? Big words in the Bible Grace
By Shaun Mackay
Grace is a little rote prayer that some people utter before eating, or it’s what a figure skater shows as she spins through the air. But grace in the Bible is different. In fact, the key word in the New Testament for Christianity is “grace”. It means to receive something that is totally undeserved and unmerited. If an inferior person receives favour from a superior person – and has no right to such treatment – that’s grace. John 1:17 says, “...grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” “Grace” expresses a glorious mystery of Christianity. Until someone has discovered the extent and depth of their corruption and demerit before God they will never appreciate grace. Grace means God acts in spontaneous goodness to save people from themselves; He loves the unlovely; He pardons their sins, accepts them, leads them to enjoy Him and helps them to overcome all obstacles that arise. God’s grace saves people from sin and brings them to a true and happy knowledge of their Maker. He doesn’t charge for Jesus. If you don’t think that the word grace is the best Bible word you have ever heard, you can be 100% sure you haven’t understood it.

Tour of the South Gauteng ready for the Article supplied by SOJO. Recently SOJO and KlipSA took members of the Section 79 Economic Development Committee on a tour of the South of Joburg to see the good, the bad and the promising. The committee’s leader, Clr Willie Van Der Skyf embraced the opportunity to engage with the private sector outside of the Inner City to find out what is happening beyond the concrete jungle. The tour began at the Metro Civic Centre (Braamfontein), with a presentation by Andrew Barker on SOJO and KlipSA’s background and their efforts to enhance job creation through sustainable economic growth and social development that add value to the natural assets. Seven key features of the presentation were investment in sustainable economic and social development, the KEEDZ Model (Klipriviersberg Economic and Ecosystem Development Zone), authority strategies and plans, spatial and economic linkages and integration, investment and development opportunities, Southern Joburg Interface and mine impacted areas. These key features were pointed out on the route. The route included: - Wemmer Pan precinct - the “underutilised” reinstated musical fountains, tenant leasing difficulties, diversified sporting activities, dilapidated Santarama and tourism opportunities of the hop-on-hop-off topless red bus were noted. - Turffontein precinct - new opportunities concerning the transportation corridor, Wits University study on Rosettenville on the historical value of the area, and horse racing entertainment
were highlighted. - Moffat Park - showed how the City could make better use of the park area instead of a housing project. -Joburg skyline - opportunities for the City Deep freight logistics hub. - Reading Interchange - where the R59 becomes the start of the southern development corridor and the Verreauxs Eagle nesting platform mast could be seen deep into the Meyers Farm valley from the freeway. - Kliprivier Drive - potential for the multi-project initiatives such as KUBiC (Klipvier Urban Biodiversity Corridor) and challenges relating to illegal dumping and general lawlessness were pointed out. - Thaba Ya Batswana - all saw the breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve and enjoyed delicious treats and stretched their legs. - Panorama node - the commercial opportunities were explained. - Klip Valley - revival of intensive urban agricultural activities mixed with tourism and the multitude of sporting opportunities were discussed. - Klipriver Recreation Centre - a future education and environmental centre is being considered. Afrisam Quary was the last stop before moving to the mining belt past Southgate, Nasrec, Gold Reef City and into Crown City. Richard Bennet from iProp explained that the developments in these mining land areas have been taking place since the 1970’s. The Committee saw the developments in Crown City and the R2 million camera project initiated by Edcon and Tsogo Sun for the Crown City and Ormonde Precincts.
2013 Matric exams The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) assures all parents and matriculants that it is all systems go for the year-end 2013 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations for grade 12. The 2013 NSC examinations started on 28 October and end on 29 November. The department has registered 99 504 full time candidates writing at 1274 sites across the province. Results will be announced on 7 January 2014, and all learners are urged to go to their schools on this day to collect their results. While GDE cannot predict matric results, they remain optimistic that they have given learners the best possible chance to pass these important exams. From March this year, learners from 425 priority schools attended the Secondary School Improvement Programme (SSIP). Classes were held every Saturday throughout the year as well as during June/July and September school holidays. Since schools reopened for the fourth quarter, the same learners attended walk-in camps to further help with revision and exam preparation. The GDE will provide support during the exams and over weekends in some areas for learners who have questions.
Many schools will offer daily and weekend support to learners for the duration of the exams. Candidates throughout the country signed pledges committing to honest behaviour when writing the examinations. Ms Creecy urged every Gauteng learner to do their best over the next few weeks to study and write carefully, “During examinations remember to have sufficient rest the night before, have all the necessary material, read the entire question paper, read instructions and plan your time carefully.” The MEC encouraged all parents to regularly check on their children’s emotional state and give them words of encouragement and support during this difficult time. “Always remember that even if your children do not do as well as you expect, encourage them to soldier on and try again,” she said. Examinations are a stressful time for learners and we urge parents and friends to be supportive during this period. Learners can phone Childline 08000 55 555 for counselling assistance.

Dancing is in their blood Perservance is Monique’s middle name
Randeor School’s dance group was awarded the floating trophy for outstanding dance performance in the Mixed Dance category at the 2013 Eisteddfod. The learners did all the choreography and music themselves and their coach Mrs Tanya Davies only assisted as facilitator.
Learner conductor achieves excellent results Randeor School’s mixed choir achieved second place in this year’s LSEN Eisteddfod with 95%. This is the first year that the conducting was done by a learner. The choir master, Mrs Hardi van der Westhuizen, decided to empower choir member Keletso Quasha, by allowing him to conduct so that she could play the piano for the choir.
Monique Azoz holds her award with pride and is accompanied by her mother. Randeor School learner Monique Azov received the Johanna Hawkins Floating Trophy for outstanding perseverance in extreme difficult circumstances at the annual school gala evening. Monique is challenged in her walking and every step at school is done with great difficulty and endurance. Although she finds it difficult to walk, she is always an inspiration to others and is always positive with a happy attitude. She has overcome many obstacles in life and is doing very well in her scholastic work. She needs time to complete tasks, but does it excellently when completing a task.
Randeor School learner, Nathan Johnson received gold in the 2013 LSEN Eisteddfod for his solo of Bruno Mars’s song Catch a Granite. The 2013 Eisteddfod was hosted by Randeor School and nine schools participated. Some schools came as far as Rustenburg and Klerksdorp for the two day event that takes place every year in October. Each LSEN school that participates gets an opportunity to host the event and next year the Eisteddfod will be hosted in Rustenburg.

SunCares unearths talent Ndu Ngwenya
ndu@tametimes.co.za The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City was filled with excitement as the stars of the Tsogo Sun initiative SunCares prepared themselves for what was to become a magical night. The SunCares Arts Academy is one of Tsogo Sun’s CSI programs, which aims at providing learners the opportunity to change their lives and communities through the arts. During 2013 the program empowered 480 students from 12 schools around the Diepsloot and Johannesburg areas, through interactions with facilitators from Minimax Performing Arts and local celebrities. They shared some of the basics in drama, dance and life-skills. The two weeks preceding the extravaganza were a culmination of the SunCares Arts Academy curriculum, in which learners were involved in a series of concerts adjudicated by members of the National Eisteddfod Association, who through an elimination process chose the final group who were the performers who got to grace the Lyric Theatre’s stage. The high standard level of artistry displayed at the final concert often had the crowd in the theatre in awe. One young performer, Kamohelo Machabe even received a standing ovation for his individual performance. At the end of the night, SunCares patron PJ Powers announced the night’s winners and took on the stage, accompanied by all the young superstars together with the facilitators, to perform the closing song.

Rapport
Cloudy Johannesburg skies threatened the success of Saturday 19 October’s Diwali celebrations at the Gold Reef City (Apartheid Museum) parking lot, which was transformed into a colourful Eastern-wonderland with vibrant performers and a strong contingency of Hindu devotees and members of the Jozi public. Diwali is one of the more important celebrations on the Hindu calendar. This year the First Rand Group, through FNB and Tsogo Sun, took the celebrations to the iconic venue. Entrance was free on the day, ensuring as many as possible could enjoy the displays of the partaking organisations, ranging from restaurants, various cultural entertainers and clothing dealers. The younger at heart were kept entertained, as they waited for the famous fireworks display, by a show and shine car competition hosted by Speed and Sound magazine. The Highlight of the
Ndu Ngwenya ndu@tametimes.co.za
show eventually arrived and just in time to light up the cloudy Johannesburg skies, much to the delight of all around. More photographs of the colourful sky can be viewed on the tame TIMES website, www.tametimes.co.za. Check out our YouTube page for a video of the sky.

Lanzetti survives Highway day-pass for non-Gauteng residents French drama
The IAME International Final for X30 karts took place in Lyon, France on 20 October, and 17-year old Glenvista High School’s Sebastian Lanzetti survived officialdom and tyre troubles on his way to 11th place. Lanzetti was invited to France for the X30 finals after winning the South African championship and although faced with a track he’d never seen before, he was confident of a competitive showing. As drivers readied themselves he familiarised himself with the track and used practice to get the Zanardi chassis dialled to his liking, before the serious business of qualifying. As expected, qualifying proved how close the racing was going to be. Lanzetti got down to work and posted the 15th fastest time in a field that saw the top 22 drivers covered by less than one second. The action in the 10-lap qualifying heats was tense and an impressive 10th place in the opening race boosted confidence and morale. Unfortunately a penalty in the next race dropped him down to 21st place. “I don’t think I deserved to get the penalty, I wasn’t to blame for the incident and even had video footage to prove it,” rued Lanzetti. Heat three saw him at his best and he bagged an important 12th place, which secured 13th place on the grid for the PreFinal.
Rain was predicted for the finals, something Lanzetti looked forward to as he’s always had good results in tricky conditions. However, with European drivers often racing in the rain he didn’t really have much of an advantage. The pre-final was run on a damp track, and after spending the early laps nibbling at 10th place his tyres began to go off and he slipped back to 18th place when the chequered flag came down. There was consternation in the Lanzetti camp before the finals. Although he had new wet tyres, a set of rims to mount them on couldn’t be sourced. He was faced with the prospect of racing on tyres that were already well past their best. To make matters worse, he was starting from 18th on the 30 kart grid, which is bang in the middle of the danger zone, where visibility is at its worst because of all the spray. He judged the start perfectly and made up a number of positions through the first corners, which proved to be rather fortunate as he escaped a five kart accident behind him. By the end of the lap he was in 11th place. As the race wore on so his tyres became less effective and his challenge for a top six finish faded, replaced with a matter of surviving. He was unable to hang onto 10th and at the end of the 20-laps he was in 11th place.

People who don’t live in Gauteng don’t have to pay for the upgrading of the highways in that province. However, if they travel on those roads, they will have to get a day-pass - which is easy to do. The application of the user-pays principle is authorised by law and has been carefully considered, in the construction of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) and in many other instances, as a matter of policy by the National Treasury, in collaboration with other departments and agencies of state. “There were a few funding methods the Government considered in funding the GFIP. One was the much touted fuel levy, which was found to be unfair and unsustainable in the long. The fuel levy is a nationally raised tax. It

would be inequitable to expect all road users in the country to pay for heightened levels of road services in Gauteng while they do not enjoy the benefit of similar roads in their provinces. After careful consideration, Government decided to use the other funding model, that is, users of the inner Gauteng highways have to pay. The userpay model is sustainable over the long term and fairer - if you don’t use the upgraded highways, you don’t pay,” explained the communications manager of the South African National Road Agency (SANRAL), Vusi Mona.

However, the user-pay principle kicks in for all who use the tolled roads, even those who don’t live in Gauteng but have to travel through the province or have business within it. This is best done by obtaining a day-pass. It cannot be done through a retailer but there are three other options: - Via the e-toll website - www.sanral.co.za - Going to a conveniently located e-toll Customer Service Centres - in some shopping malls and along the highway itself - Phoning the e-toll call centre at 0800 SANRAL (726 725). “If you’re not a Gauteng resident, the e-tolls won’t affect you in any way - except on the occasion that you do have to use them. The e-tolled roads are only 20km in a province that has a road network of more than 3 000km, and there are plenty of alternative roads in Gauteng,” Mona said.

The Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile is a horse racing event that everyone looks forward to. This year new and regular celebrity faces will be spotted at Turffontein Race Course on 2 November, with 16 of the finest thoroughbred racehorses racing for a charity. The best thing about this race is no matter if a racehorse comes in last, the charity partnered with it will still receive prize money. A definite win-win situation. Phumelela’s National Marketing Manager, Michael Varney said, “Emperors Palace’s sponsorship of the Charity Mile has always gone deeper than the race day itself, and through our partnership it is imperative that our legacy projects benefit from more than just the cash contributions, but in other ways such as extra-curricular activities.” Varney refers to when 30 children from the Peermont Children’s Trust’s Jongifundo Primary Aftercare Centre were given a demonstration by the SAPS’s Mounted Police Unit, which included caring for a horse as well as an understanding of the important role that the mounted unit plays in keeping the local community safe. The Charity Mile Barrier Draw took place last Wednesday at 64Live at Emperors Palace. Media got to see who all the celebrity faces are and what charity and newspaper they will be partnered with. The avid horse breeders got to see where their horse would start. There is no gate fee and the day itself offers something for the whole family, including a kid’s carnival, celebrity autograph signing, beer garden and of course top class South African horse racing.
