“Three women found in the merchandise hideout houses were arrested for unlawful possession of suspected stolen goods.” Three women aged 20, 22 and 39 were released by the Palm Ridge Court on Monday because of a lack of evidence after they were arrested for possession of stolen goods to the approximate value of R1 million. It is alleged that the three women, who are neighbours residing in Sali section in Katlehong, were found in possession of more than 200 boxes containing jeans valued at more than R1 million. Captain Mega Ndobe, Communications Officer for Katlehong Police Station, told tame TIMES that North West police officers were investigating a case of a truck hijacking which occurred in the early hours of Friday morning. “During
investigations, the truck was spotted in the Alrode area. Police followed the lead and proceeded to Katlehong, where more than 200 boxes containing jeans valued at more than ±R1 000 000 were recovered inside three different houses in Sali section. Three women found in the merchandise hideout houses were arrested for unlawful possession of suspected stolen goods,” said Ndobe. It is alleged that a truck was hijacked by five armed suspects who were driving a silver VW Polo fitted with blue lights. The truck-driver was left stranded in North West and police are still looking for five suspects involved in the hijacking - the investigation continues.
“THE EVIDENCE:” Police officers remove the stolen boxes from one of the suspect’s houses in Sali section in Katlehong.

SPCA reaches out to Katlehong pets Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za Hundreds of dogs, accompanied by their owners, flocked to an open space opposite Katlehong North Police Station to have their dogs dipped, vaccinated for various diseases and to receive educational tips on how to keep their animals healthy at all times. Speaking to tame TIMES, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) inspector from the Germiston/Bedfordview branch Jade Nel said they are embarking on an outreach programme targeting people who cannot afford veterinary services. “We are doing dog vaccinations, dipping and an animal educational campaign. We have also taken injured or unwanted dogs away from the public and many dogs were given treatment. Our mission is to come to the township once a week, but due to financial constraints, we will only manage to come once a month. We will also identify spots in the township where we can deliver our services. We were impressed, however, that most of the dogs we inspected are well looked after,” explained Nel. Dog owner Kabelo Kgwadi said SPCA officials vaccinated his dog for opportunistic diseases. He added that dog-owners were also encouraged to bring their dogs for treatment on a regular basis.
HAPPY: Dog-owners are excited about the SPCA outreach programme.

Young drug fighters Carnival Foods turns 20 awarded certificates Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za
Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Ukhanyiso Primary School pupils who took part in the Ke Moja No Thanks I’m Fine Without Drugs eight-module programme were recently awarded with certificates for completing the course. The programme, which was sponsored by the Department of Social Development, targeted Grade 4, 5 and 6 pupils, clinics and churches around Kathorus. It was facilitated by representatives from Tsohang Youth Project Pupils, who taught about drugs and their consequences, and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Isaac Mavuso, chairperson of Tsohang Youth Project said, “We were educating the learners about different types of drugs and their sideeffects. Learners were taught about healthy
lifestyles and confidence building so that they would not be subjected to peer pressure, as it is one of the causes of drug abuse.” He added that the programme was interesting, with many educational activities, such as singing and playing games related to fighting drug abuse. Matome Makgalo, the principal of Ukhanyiso Primary School, said, “The programme effectively prepares the learners for high school, where the challenge of drug abuse is at its peak. The programme prepares the youngsters about the dangers of drugs and how to behave when they reach high school.” Angel Mkhambela, a Grade 6 pupil who is a beneficiary of the programme, said it was fruitful because it prepares the youth to be responsible, to refrain from drugs and to abstain from sexual intercourse.
Carnival Foods’ 20-year celebration has coincided with the country’s 20-year celebration of democracy. 680 Carnival Foods members of staff from all the branches, including Mpumalanga, were part of the celebration, dressed in their traditional regalia and company T-shirts. They handed out free jiggies snacks to members of the public and also had a lunch feast, with suitalbe refreshments, at their Alberton North premises. Manny De Agrela, Managing Director of Carnival Foods told tame TIMES that they were proud to celebrate 20 years of trading.
“When we started the business we wanted to create for ourselves, but as the company grew, we realized that we had other responsibilities, including catering for our employees. For the past 20 years, the company has grown successfully and we have created our own individual family. We believe in making the best product at a reasonable and affordable price. It is our social responsibility that often reminds us that people are most important,” said De Agrela. He added that they manufacture jiggies snacks, cornflakes and an energy drink branded under their name. De Agrela said they are expanding their brand to other cereals and snack products.
DRUG FIGHTERS: Ukhanyiso Primary School learners are proud to have completed the drug awareness programme facilitated by Tsohang Youth Project.

Three suspects arrested for unlawful possession When Katlehong Station Commander Brigadier George Manganye joined his relief commander on Tuesday morning to patrol the Katlehong area, they made three arrests.

The Kathorus, Kwatsaduza, Greater Benoni, Boksburg and Tembisa sub-regional netball under-16 and under-19 teams recently battled it out for the ultimate netball crown at the Tsakane Stadium. The event is the brainchild of the Gauteng Department of Sport in partnership with the Ekurhuleni Netball Association, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council and the Ekurhuleni Sports Council. It is an annual event which is bearing results, as every year talented athletes are unearthed. The games ran from 9:00 am to 4:00pm in cool, favourable weather. Teams which took part in the u/16 competition were the Kathorus A and B teams, the Kwatsaduza A and B teams, the Greater Benoni A and B teams, one Tembisa team and one Boksburg team. The teams battled it out in two pools, with each pool having four teams. The two top performing teams in each pool emerged victorious and proceeded to the semi-finals. The finals took place between Kathorus B and Kwatsaduza B, with Kwatsaduza winning 5 - 3. Boitumelo Rampou was voted as the player of the festival for the under-16s

from Greater Benoni. The nine best players were also selected, and will be assisted next year to form part of the high performance centre in Gauteng.

The winds of change are blowing within the Local Football Affiliates (LFA) in SAFA Ekurhuleni as the elections for new executive members has been kick-started in all corners of the City of Ekurhuleni. Candidates are rolling up their sleeves in all 14 Safa Ekurhuleni affiliates as preparations are made to replace the old order with a new one. The LFA elections, which run from October to December, started early this month in Ekurhuleni. Some of the LFAs that are contesting elections within Kathorus include Thokoza Local Football Association (TLFA), Vosloorus Local Football Association (VLFA), Eden Park Local Football Association (ELFA), Zonkizizwe Local Football Association and other LFAs in Ekurhuleni. Safa Ekurhuleni Executive member Buti Mofokeng said the prerequisite for LFAs to contest the election include compliance - contesting LFAs must have legitimate bank accounts and up-todate annual reports. He said chairman’s reports, organizational reports and treasurer’s reports are also a necessity. “SAFA Ekurhuleni will pay visits to all the affiliating LFAs starting from this month until November. The objectives of the visits are to help the LFAs in making sure they meet the requirements to contest the elections. We also want to give them election guidelines and workshop them about the SAFA nomination process. After we complete the workshop and visiting process, the respective LFAs will commence with their respective elections,” said Mofokeng. For more information about the Ekurhuleni LFA elections, listen to Kasi FM Scoreline Show Zero2Six from 6-9 am this Saturday or phone Ekurhuleni SAFA electoral committee member Buti Mofokeng on 078 508 7808.
