Police nab child murder fugitives
INNOCENT VICTIM: The late Siphosihle Dladla ( reconstructed image) After 11 months on the run, child murder suspects Bongani Dladla and Cindi Mkhonza were finally arrested last week Thursday. The innocent victim of the alleged crime was 7-year-old Siphosihle Dladla, the biological son of 36-year-old Dladla and the stepson of the 20-year-old Mkhonza.
Both were arrested on the same day at around 01:45 am at Zone 1 in Zonkizizwe. They were charged with murder and appeared for the first time before the Palm Ridge Court on 11 July. The case was postponed to 25 July, when both the accused will make a formal bail application and the State Prosecutor will also indicate which further charges will be added to the main charge of murder. Siphosihle was found dead on 17 August 2013 next to a house in Hlongwane Section in Katlehong. The SAPS Victim Identification Centre at the Forensic Science Laboratory in Pretoria put together a frontal image of the deceased in order to assist with the possible identification of the young boy, whose identity was unknown at the time. The reconstructed picture of the deceased was sent to the media and on 16 October he was identified by his biological mother at Germiston State Mortuary as her son Siphosihle Dladla. The investigating officers from Katlehong Serious and Violent Crime Investigative Unit, Detective Warrant Officer Polane Mokadi and Detective Constable John Lekalakala began a day-and-night investigation to find the perpetrators. After some time, they discovered that Siphosihle’s father was also
the uncle of Siphosihle’s mother. Siphosihle’s great-grandmother stated in an affidavit that her son Bongani Dladla started abusing Siphosihle’s mother, Winephi Dladla, at the age of 13, after the young girl’s mother (and Siphosihle’s grandmother and Bongani Dladla’s sister) passed away. The great-grandmother reported the matter to the Department of Social Development which intervened, but no charges could be laid, as Siphosihle’s mother refused to co-operate. At the age of 16, she fell pregnant with her uncle’s child and the great-grandmother chased them both out of her house, after which they went to live together in Thokoza. At the age of 17, Winephi could no longer take Dladla’s abuse and decided to leave him, taking the infant Siphosihle with her. During November 2012 the young single mother was no longer able to look after her son and took him to his father and the man’s new girlfriend, Cindi Mkhonza, so that they could take care of him. On 11 October 2013, friends of Bongani Dladla, Wellington Mbatha (64) and his wife Elina Mabuyisa (60), went to Thokoza Police Station to report a missing child. They were arrested for perjury and Winephi Dladla,

Siphosihle’s biological mother, was also arrested for child neglect, but the case was later temporarily withdrawn. Captain Piet Rossouw, Communications Officer of Vosloorus Police Station said, “We are celebrating the work of the detectives for catching the fish. This is a lesson to all criminals that they can run but they cannot hide - South Africa is too small and the long arm of the law will catch them.”
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Detective Constable John Lekalakala, Detective Captain Apner Radebe and Detective Warrant Officer Polane Mokadi managed to hunt down the child murder suspects.

SHOES AND SCARVES: Rufus Moagi and a representative from Banareng Office Suppliers hand over donations to Musiiwa Agnes Magodzho, Manager for Lotsha Support Organisation. Banareng Office Suppliers, in partnership with Orlando Pirates Football Club, donated 500 pairs of shoes and scarves to underprivileged children from Lotsha Support Organisation in Dikole section, Katlehong last week. Speaking to tame TIMES, Musiiwa Agnes Magodzho, Manager for Lotsha Support Organisation, said, “We are delighted with the donations, as some of the parents and guardians of the children could not afford to buy new shoes for them.
Some learners go to school wearing torn shoes and the donations are a relief to parents and children as they will be warm during this winter.” Rufus Moagi, Managing Member of Banareng Office Suppliers said, “We requested the shoe donations from Orlando Pirates Football Club to donate to disadvantaged children. It is a way of giving back to the community and making a difference.”

Maphumphum ready to fly high in radio broadcasting
POPULAR: Phumzile “Maphumphum” Mlangeni is eager to climb the broadcasting ladder.
Lebo Mosolodi lebo.kathorus@tametimes.co.za Phumzile “Maphumphum” Mlangeni is steadily climbing the ladder to stardom, earning respect both from the community and her colleagues in the radio broadcasting industry. Mlangeni’s passion to entertain motivated her to join leading Ekurhuleni community radio station Kasie FM in 2008. She did not allow circumstances to be a stumbling block in the way of her dream of being a radio personality. “I underwent an intensive six weeks of training at the radio during the graveyard shift. I got my first break in 2008 when the station management offered me an opportunity to read funeral announcements between 7:30pm and 8:00pm on Thursdays,” explained Mlangeni. As if that were not enough, she received a second golden opportunity at the radio station to present Ezakwantu Traditional Music on Saturdays between 9am and 12pm. A third opportunity came in 2010, when she was
asked to present Asimdumise Gospel Show, which was broadcast on Sundays between 6am and 9pm. Maphumphum’s popularity in Kasie FM soared and paved the way for her nomination for several broadcasting awards. “Kasie FM listeners religiously followed both my shows in the comfort of their houses,” she said. “Hence, I was nominated twice in the South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA) and twice in the South African Broadcasting Corporation Crown Gospel Awards. Last year I was also nominated in the Annual Zion Music Awards (AZMA). Despite several nominations I got lately, it was unfortunate that I did not win any award yet.” “However, I am confident that within a matter of time I will win one of the awards. My nominations are an indication that audiences are steadily starting to give me recognition in the broadcasting industry,” said Maphumphum. Her short-term goal is to co-present shows with her role model Dudu Khoza from Ukhozi FM and, later on, she would like to work for a leading national radio station.

Mandela Day specials at new Meat Express
501625B/P322
BIRTHDAY DEALS
Meat Express recently opened a new butchery at Naledi Mall in Vosloorus in an effort to provide even more customers with fresh meat at affordable prices. Speaking to tame TIMES, Meat Express Manager, Ricardo Martins, said they are trying their level best to keep their prices as low as possible so that they can reach most households in the area. He appreciates the enormous and loyal support they receive from the Kathorus community. “We have various boerewors types and A-grade meat ranging from mince, chalk, brisket, chunks, chicken, fish and other meat ranges. We have diversified our shop so that we can be a one-stop shop and be convenient for our clients. Our store offers bulk at a discount price to local traders who are buying meat, so they can make a profit,” said Martins. As part of celebrating Nelson Mandela Day, Meat Express will have a number of special offers and products will be sold at the lowest possible prices. Martins praised former president Nelson Mandela for opening up business opportunities for white South Africans to operate in townships. “We always remind our staff that, for a business to be successful, they should strive for cleanliness, quality product and consistency. We are sending our clients SMSes as part of acknowledging their support. However, the competition is stiff; hence we always strive to meet our clients’ demands,” concluded Martins.

Nurturing township jewels in roller skating Lebo Mosolodi
outshined his competitors in the Roller Skating Europe Tour Championship held in Hungary and won a gold medal. In the second round of the same competition held in Germany, Magcai obtained positions 3 and 4 in successive rounds. “We then produced two talented ladies namely, Bonolo Pitso and Nokuthula Khumalo. They both qualified for the SA test but only Khumalo managed to proceed to the trials where she obtained position 2.” “It was most unfortunate that Khumalo could not proceed to represent the country because only position 1 competitors were allowed to represent the country,” explained Pitso. He said Zithulele Nkosi is another jewel unearthed from Katlehong. Zithulele qualified for the Eastern Cape Championship and obtained position 3 in 2013. “This year we produced two skating rising stars, Kutlwano Mogotsi (18) and Katiso Mokoena (17).“ “They both made it to the South African Club trials. Karabo Sehlogo is also undergoing the Artistic Skating Athletics test. If she succeeds, she will represent South Africa in Spain.”
lebo.kathorus@tametimes.co.za Kathorus Roller Skating Club founder Itumeleng Pitso is on a mission to transform the lives of Kathorus youngsters, training novice roller skaters to be world champions. His initiative is often seen as unattainable by doubting critics due to Katlehong’s bumpy roads and the misconception that the sport can be afforded only by the elite few. Yet he tirelessly continues to unearth shining jewels in abundance in dusty Kathorus. Pitso founded the club in 2008 and it has been a revelation within roller skating circles. “In 2009 I competed in the South African Roller Skating Championship held in Pretoria and obtained position 3 in the Over-17 category. Again, I competed in the 2012 South African Open Inline Championship held in Sun City in the North West Province and won it,” he said. The second jewel to be unearthed from the club was Luyanda Magcai, who represented South Africa twice. Pitso said Magcai
