Gauteng envisages 90% Matric pass-rate Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za David Makhura told the learners of Kathorus that the province is envisaging a 90% Matric pass-rate this year during a pre-examination ceremony for Grade 12s held at the Vosloorus Civic Centre. Makhura said the class of 2014 is the best Matric class ever since 1994. “You are Mandela’s children and we want no less than a 90% Matric pass-rate for Gauteng province. We expect the best from you because you are the next generation of leaders. If you do well, you belong to university,” said Makhura. He added that the fact that they are children of domestic and mine workers is not a reason to stop them from achieving their dreams. Panyaza Lesufi, Gauteng Education MEC, acknowledged the support from religious leaders, stating that “All my schools will choose God, not Satanism. All pastors are welcome in my schools in Gauteng.” He said they will help the learners to achieve a 90% pass-rate and give the dropouts survival skills. Starting from next year, Grade 11s will be empowered with training for the K53 driver’s licence. “As from next year, at
all high schools in Gauteng from Grade 8 to12, each learner will have a tablet. Gone are the days when learners would have to borrow textbooks and carry school bags. We are investing in Information Communication Technology education in Gauteng. We have to close the gap between the rich and the poor and we are starting in the townships,” said Lesufi. He said they were also consigning the chalkboard and duster to history, replacing them with the white board. “We love our children and we want to rectify the problems of the past. The top three Matric students in each township school will be awarded with bursaries that will cater for them until they conclude their schooling. We don’t want anything to stop learners to access the best education. Sweat and tears both taste salty, but with tears you are going to get sympathy and with sweat you are going to get good results,” concluded Lesufi. The religious leaders also prayed for the learners and encouraged them to seek the wisdom of God to prosper. Sibusiso Leope Education Foundation members also motivated the Matrics to work hard
and achieve their goals. The national Matriculation examinations started earlier
this week, on Monday 27 October.
GRADE 12S: Katlehong High School learners are excited to be writing their Matric exams.

We welcome all our readers to the end of the month of October, which was filled with both exciting and shocking news. Firstly, the nation is mourning the loss of Bafana Bafana Captain and Orlando Pirates football goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa (27), who was shot and killed in Vosloorus at an alleged house robbery incident. The community of Kathorus is also saddened and shocked at the incident that happened in their area, giving them a bad name and making them question their safety as residents. tame TIMES sends their deepest condolences to the family of Meyiwa, his friends, relatives, soccer fans and the nation. The Matrics have started their examinations this week - we also wish them good results and all the best in their journey of writing. We encourage them to find the time for adequate rest and revision. We also appeal to the
parents or guardians of the Matriculants to be supportive by relieving them from duties at home so that they have enough time to concentrate on their schoolwork. Lastly, the community of Kathorus was delighted that their hero Sam Ntuli’s gravesite was declared a Gauteng provincial heritage site. We acknowledge the Gauteng province for honouring the local heroes who fought for our freedom. As the festive season is around the corner, we encourage people to practise safety measures everywhere they go. As for me, I am always vigilant. Let me close my car window now - the robots are green and I am ready to go, cheers for now.

The children from Kids Care Early Learning Centre based in Ngema section in Katlehong were delighted to receive food donations from Meat Express Katlehong branch. Meat Express donated meat, mealie-meal and cool drinks to the centre. Centre manager Elsie Mangoaela told tame TIMES that they were both relieved and delighted to receive food donations from the shop. “We are very grateful to have a business that cares for the community.

privileged give to the poor, they are increasing their blessings,” said Mangoaela. Ricardo Martins, manager at Meat Express Katlehong said, “It is our social responsibility to give back to the community that supports our business. The food donations were a way of appreciating the community.” Kids Care Early Learning Centre has 80 learners and is appealing for funding in terms of food, a structure to provide outdoor shade for the children and sponsorship. Those who are interested in assisting the centre can visit them at number 125 Ngema section in Katlehong or call the centre manager on 072 596 0692.

Community stops Community drug rape of 5-year-old fighters awarded A 30-year-old man was arrested for attempting to rape a fiveyear-old girl in the open veld between Sunrise and Zonkizizwe Extension 6 on 21 October. Sergeant Rufus Tema, communications officer of Zonkizizwe Police Station, said the crime was reported by a woman who saw the suspect walking with the child while she was sweeping her yard. The complainant, who is not related to the child, alleges that the suspect either looked away or obscured his face when she looked at him. His behaviour appeared suspicious to her and she alerted other community members, who decided to follow him. When they caught up with him, they found the suspect next to the girl child, busy undoing his trouser belt. He was then taken to Zonkizizwe Police Station where an attempted rape case was registered against him and he was arrested. He was expected to appear in Heidelberg Court within 24 hours of his arrest.
Two men nabbed for truck hijacking Two male suspects, aged 30 and 38 years old, were arrested for truck hijacking along the R550 Road next to Zonkizizwe. According to the complainant, he had just bought food from the Petroport garage on the N3 highway next to Zonkizizwe and, on his way back to the truck, three men forced him into it. They tied his hands together, ordered him to sleep and then drove off with him, stopping after a few minutes. Police officers on patrol spotted the stationary truck in the middle of the 4550 Road. After approaching the vehicle, they saw three suspects running into the mielie field nearby. Then a chase ensued and the police managed to arrest two suspects. The suspects were searched and one of them was found in possession of a cellphone later identified by the hijacked truck driver as his. The third suspect is still at large. The arrested suspects are expected to appear in Heidelberg Court soon for truck hijacking.
Vosloorus Crime Prevention Youth Desk and Victim Empowerment members were recently awarded with certificates for their completion of the Ke Moja No Thanks I’m Fine Without Drugs programme sponsored by the Department of Social Development and facilitated by Tsohang Youth Project.

Woman attacked near M7 A 27-year-old male suspect was arrested by Zonkizizwe police officers for attempted armed robbery and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm on 20 October. According to the 23-year-old female victim, she was walking alone in an open space between Zonkizizwe Extension 3 and the M7 Road in Zonkizizwe at about 08:00 when she was approached from behind by the suspect. She alleges that the suspect drew a knife and demanded that she hand over her cellphone and money. The victim resisted and a struggle ensued, with her managing to overpower the suspect. Alert community members saw the incident and helped apprehend the suspect and take him to the police station. The suspect is expected to appear in Heidelberg Court within 24 hours to face charges of attempted armed robbery and assault.

Ekurhuleni West College Centre for Entrepreneurship recently conducted a five-day workshop for cooperatives around Kathorus to empower them with business skills. Sanesiso Khumalo, Programme Manager, New ventures Creation and facilitator of the workshop, told tame TIMES that the workshop is targeting registered cooperatives that are operating but have not yet received formal training. He said they have partnered with Letsatsi Solutions, Gauteng Enterprise Propeller, to present their programmes and assist cooperatives. Khumalo said they taught the cooperatives cooperative management, typical business management skills and assisted them to be sustainable. Shelly Thebe, programme manager of Letsatsi Solutions, said, “We taught them that they should treat cooperatives as a business that contributes to the economy and employment creation, not as family sustenance. We urged them to utilise the knowledge that they have learnt in the workshop and consider exporting their products”. The 12 cooperatives that were part of the programme said it was fruitful in that they were taught how to run a business, compliance with government policies such as tax clearance and submitting the correct documents for funding applications.

New home for Ekupholeni Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za The relocation of the old Natalspruit Hospital from Katlehong to Vosloorus has not meant the operational closure of Ekupholeni Mental Health and Trauma Centre. The Centre recently unveiled their new home on the grounds of Zimeleni LSEN School, a stone’s throw away from the old hospital. The centre officially opened their new home at Msomi Street, in Maphanga section at Katlehong. Antje Manfroni, Director of Ekupholeni Mental Health and Trauma Centre said, “We felt strongly that we needed to continue to provide services in Katlehong. This will be our home for many years to come” Their new home currently has two park home structures and a big green fence. They have received a donation of trees and team members have already started conceptualizing additional structures and landscaping. Ekupholeni was founded in 1994 in response to extreme political violence. The organization has evolved along with the community in order to provide for urgent and relevant needs: they support young children whose parents have passed away, teenagers raising their younger siblings, youth who are HIV positive, girls and women who have been raped, men who have lost their wives. The Centre is a place of healing. Their thirty-one staff members provide counselling and support to about 7 000 children, youth and adults every year. They are also appealing for sponsorships for paint, gardening supplies, furniture and a playground. People can visit the Centre at its new home at Msomi Street, Maphanga section, Katlehong or call on 079 526 7833. For rape crisis centre services visit them at the new hospital in Vosloorus, at their park home at J. Dumane CHC or call 079 526 6439. In Thokoza, visit them at Kathorus Family Center on Yende Street. They are continuing to run services from Dresser Clinic, Emabodweni, and at their satellite offices in Zonkizizwe. Their Centre’s administrative office will remain in Observatory - the contact details are: 011 648 9820.

We need to comply with the law, but we have our own, internally-driven programmes based on our core values, one of which is to take Care over what we do. We also borrow from international standards such as ISO 14001 which specifies the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS) for small to large organisations and is based on the Plan-Check-Do-Review-Improve cycle, calls for ‘continual improvement’ as a fundamental principle.

This enables SANRAL to comfortably As a member of the World Road Association, SANRAL also benefits from comply with legislative requirements, and to contribute to wider participation in international environmental debate and keeps pace with environmental and natural resource conservation issues, says Makoa. latest developments. SANRAL’s environmental management practices are monitored by its Risk In line with the “continual improvement” imperative, SANRAL undertakes Cluster which reports to the Board. Research Much of SANRAL’s research is aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Initiatives include: • Replacing tar with asphalt, which is bitumen-based and more environmentally friendly. • Recycling of road construction materials. Aggregate, bitumen and asphalt dug up from old roads is reworked and used when they are upgraded, reducing the need to transport new materials and for quarrying, which can often adversely affect the environment. • Using solar panels and micro wind turbines to power variable messaging signs alerting road users to problems ahead.

Research extends beyond roads to adjacent reserve areas where SANRAL needs to establish the most sustainable way to conserve sensitive or threatened vegetation species. An example is collaboration between SANRAL and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University on research to establish guidelines for conservation of the Fynbos Biome along the N2 road in the Eastern Cape. Regulatory compliance SANRAL’s construction work is subject to government approval based on environmental impact assessment studies and the granting of permits to undertake specific activities.

Nowhere to run for Senzo’s killers Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za
The police’s team of forensic experts has revealed the identity kit of two suspects alleged to be involved in the murder of Bafana Bafana captain and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa. The descriptions of the two suspects are as follows: both suspects are believed to be in their late 20s or early 30s, with one being tall, slender, and dark-skinned with dreadlocks and the other, short, dark and well-built. The football star was killed during a house robbery in Mzamo Section 28 in Vosloorus on 26 October. It is alleged that the deceased was visiting his girlfriend, Qinisela hit-maker Kelly Khumalo, when two men entered the house and confronted the seven occupants while the third suspect waited outside. It is alleged that the suspects demanded cellphones and money and took a cellphone which was on charger. During the incident a shot was fired and the goalkeeper was hit in the upper body. He was taken to Bophelong Clinix hospital in Vosloorus where he was declared dead on arrival. The three suspects fled on foot but police have launched a manhunt. General Riah Phiyega, National Commissioner of Police, expressed condolences to the Bafana captain’s family and friends and the soccer fraternity for the sudden and untimely death of
Senzo Meyiwa. “A multi-disciplinary task team has been established to investigate the murder of the 27-year-old Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa,” she said. “The team will be led by the Gauteng Deputy Provincial Commissioner for Detective Services, Major General Tebello Mosikili. Investigators that are forming part of this team are a combination of detectives from the National Investigation and Provincial Investigation teams, National and Provincial Crime Intelligence, Visible Policing and the War Room. Investigators are back at the crime scene and busy combing the scene for more evidence. One cellular phone was taken during the robbery,” said Phiyega. Dr Irvin Khoza, Orlando Pirates Chairman tweeted, “To the media, I encourage you to assist us in finding Senzo’s killers and bringing them to book. Let’s assist the police.” A reward of up to R 250 000- (two hundred and fifty thousand) is on offer for information that can lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. Cases of murder and house robbery are under investigation. Anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the perpetrator(s) can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or SMS Crime Line on 32211. In mourning for the soccer star, the Soweto Derby has been postponed.
Police are appealing to anyone who can identify the suspects pictured in the ID Kit images above to come forward.
N12 crash: Scaw greens Katlehong Driver granted bail Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za
Roedolf Walker Roedolf.Walker@tametimes.co.za Isaac Maruding, aged 44, who is on trial for three counts of culpable homicide and one count of reckless and negligent driving, was granted bail of R7 000 on 27 October. The bail was granted on the grounds that the accused was not considered either a flight risk or a risk to the general public should he be released. Magistrate Samuel Hlubi drew special attention to the fact that Maruding was present for his previous sentencing and questioned why this time would be different. “Detaining an accused is only to be done when there is a genuine risk of either the accused not attending his trial or when the release will be undermining the purpose of justice,” said Magistrate Hlubi. “The state has failed to convince the court that this is the case.” There are several conditions attached to Maruding’s release on bail. The accused is to stay in his verified home address in Viljoenskroon and he is also not allowed to leave the Viljoenskroon area without permission from the investigating officer. Maruding had to hand over his licence to the investigating officer and he has to report to his local police station every Monday between 7:00 and 16:00 until the time of the trial. The trial has been postponed until 12 November to allow further investigation by the state.
As part of their greening initiative, the Scaw Metals Group planted 1000 trees and distributed them among Katlehong schools and in wards. 700 trees were distributed to wards 58 and 101 and the remaining 300 were distributed to the following schools, with each getting 20 trees: Sonqoba Primary School, Phumalane Primary School, Vumbeni Primary School, Eketsang High School, Ekurhuleni School for the Deaf, Kabelo Primary School, Katlehong High School, Keketso Primary School, Maitjibulo Primary School, Tshabalala Primary School, Khumalo Primary School, Morojaneng Primary School, Matshediso Primary , Aaron Moeti Adult School and Phumelela Primary School. Scaw Metals Group partnered with Food
and Trees for Africa in the planting of trees at Keketso Primary School. Dudu Ndlovu, executive communications corporate social investment at Scaw Metals Group said, “We are supporting the schools close to our operational area and where our employees reside. It is also part of our social responsibility to increase environmental awareness by greening the communities.” Collins Ntota, principal of Keketso Primary School said, “We are over the moon, especially when we talk of trees. We cannot have schools without trees. They provide us with paper and books, which is knowledge thus the vitality of trees.” Jeminah Mkhize, Eco premier at Food and Trees for Africa, said they are assisting Scaw Metals Group in the planting of trees and they are excited about bringing change to the learning environment by providing shade and reducing dust for learners.
Home safety tips Fences/Walls -A high fence around a house with lockable gates is much safer than a high wall, due to the advantage of the improved visibility that it provides. -The primary aim of the fence is to make access/intrusion difficult and to allow dogs to move freely around the house. -Ensure that your gates are locked at all times and that the keys cannot be reached easily and are not lying around. -Security gates with sturdy locks in front of each outer door are recommended, as well as burglar proofing covering all windows. The following devices prevent easy access: window bars, security doors, security gates, razor wire, additional locking devices on doors, strengthening of doors, peepholes in doors, safety chains on doors, an intercom system between the house and the gate, front door or garage. Alarm Systems An alarm system, preferably connected to an armed response company, can act as an effective deterrent. In the rural environment a siren/alarm on the
roof that can be heard over a long distance and can be activated by means of a switch/panic button in the house, is recommended. A few switches/panic buttons in different rooms of the house should preferably be installed. Alarms must be able to warn the occupants of any intrusion into the house. Various forms of alarm systems can be used, including: mechanical and/or electrical (purchased types), i m p r o v i s e d systems, threaded tins, threaded pieces of iron, gravel on window panes, pathways or around the home, obstacles that can make a noise when moved, biological systems such as dogs, geese and ostriches. Security Lights -Security lights on the outside of the house improve the physical protection of a house, farm or smallholding. -Day and night sensor lights are
GREEN BELIEVERS: Jeminah Mkhize, Eco premier at Food and Trees for Africa and Collins Ntota, principal of Keketso Primary School recommended. -The lights must be directed away from the house and must allow the occupants to use the windows without being observed from outside. -Be aware of possible shadows and blind spots. Safety Precautions -Ensure that all doors are locked at all times, and that windows are closed when you are not at home. -Large dogs serve as a deterrent. At least one dog should be trained to sleep inside the house. -If you leave your residence, inform your family/ neighbours of your intended destination, the time you expect to return and the route you will be driving, especially if you reside in a rural area. -Ensure that tools such as axes, spades, picks, ladders, which can be used in an attack, are locked away when you are not using them. -Vary your daily routine. -Get into the habit of not falling asleep immediately after switching off the lights, remain awake for a while.

Farewell Kabelo Grade 7 pupils
MOVING ON: Grade 7 pupils of Kabelo Primary School enjoy their farewell party.
Tshabalala Primary School debate team obtained position two in the Action Poetry in Sesotho category at the Provincial Live Skills Competition held recently in Pretoria. The school debating team was also awarded for Achievement in Literacy and Achievement Award.
By Zeb Mathobela The Grade 7 learners of Kabelo Primary School were recently given five-star treatment at their farewell, which was held at Isolomizi Bread & Breakfast. The pupils looked stunning, matching the décor of the place, which was also on point. They spent a day enjoying themselves and celebrating
all the hard work which had been put in over the years. Grade 7 learner Dibakiso Baloyi said, “We were all waiting for this day to come and we really set the bar high for the next year’s Grade 7s. The expectation we had actually belittled what we experienced. We had a great time.” Jabu Radebe, principal of Kabelo
Primary School said, “We are proud of the learners and wishing them all the best in their examinations that they are about to write.” Educator Priscilla Mathobela said, “We want this farewell to be a memorable experience for our Grade 7 learners as they prepare to enter the next phase of their education.”
MEC concerned about white elephant libraries
Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za
Members of the Gauteng Legislature recently converged on Somhlolo Soccer Grounds for their parliamentary debating session in the sphere of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR). The SACR MEC Molebatsi Bopape complained about libraries which are now becoming white elephants in some parts of the province. She reminded the public that they should start taking ownership of libraries in or nearby their residential areas. Bopape also urged members of the public to report any form of vandalism that might take place in public institutions. “We will make sure that the new libraries we are building will be fully stocked with relevant study materials, books and computers.
Well trained librarians will be in charge of the daily operation of libraries. In the province, we are building about eight libraries annually. On each library we spend in the range of R8 to R12 million. We have minimal budget that we should spend wisely,” said MEC Bopape. She promised that a new archive centre will soon be built in Mogale City and that people should use the facility for research purposes. Members of the legislature also raised their dissatisfaction about the poor spelling of street-names. The MEC announced that bursaries are available for Matric learners who want to pursue studies in art, music and sports; and that Somhlolo Soccer Ground will soon be converted to an artificial soccer pitch.
The SACR MEC, Molebatsi Bopape, has promised to bring positive changes that will improve the lives of people in the province.

Road safety campaigns for pedestrians
Page 15
Walk Alive this Transport Month “There are motorists who enjoy over speeding and beating stop signs, making it difficult for us to cross the road,”
WALK SAFE: Nomzamo Booi-Malatse wants pedestrians to be empowered with road safety regulations. Nomzamo Booi-Malatse is calling for the Department of Transport to conduct more road safety awareness campaigns targeting pedestrians during Transport Month in October. She says pedestrians need to be educated on how to use stop signs and robots to cross the road. Some people walk on the freeway, resulting in their being killed or injured by vehicles travelling at high speed. What type of car do you drive? I drive a Hyundai ix35. Tell us why you love your car It is very comfortable, nice and fashionable. It is the best car in South Africa and it won’t let you down. What special features does your car have? It has a big boot, a reversing camera which is part of the car security when I am reversing and blue lights inside when it is dark. Would you allow anyone to drive your car? No, because we drive differently and someone could be involved in an accident
while driving my car. What is your dream car? Mercedes Benz C-class 2014 model. It is because the car is an executive vehicle, makes me proud, and l feel like a queen when l am driving it. Do you agree with people who say women are bad drivers? No, I totally disagree; women drive carefully, are patient on the road and scared of causing accidents. What advice would you like to give to road-users to avoid road carnage? Motorists should adhere to the road signs, tolerate each other on the road and be helpful if someone is in trouble. Speed kills and motorists should refrain from overspeeding. Do you think the police officers are doing their duty in enforcing the law on the road? Some are doing their work while others are not; some are renowned for taking bribes from road offenders instead of enforcing the law.
THINK LEARNER: Mpho Malatse says pupils’ safety must be a priority on the road. “Be alert on the road, use the pedestrian crossing lane, and look left and right twice before crossing the road. Always be watchful. If the car is coming from the left and you are standing by the left, wait for the car to turn. Then you can pass, and do the same when you are at the right side,” says Mpho Malatse, warning pupils to walk alive during this Transport Month. The 10-year-old Grade 5 pupil is concerned with reckless driving constantly claiming the
lives of pupils on a large scale on the road every year. She said some accidents are caused by a lack of road safety information being given to pupils, and negligent and reckless driving. “There are motorists who enjoy over speeding and beating stop signs, making it difficult for us to cross the road,” she says, adding that, “There are also pupils who are playing in the middle of the road, making it hectic for motorists to pass and causing accidents,” said Malatse. “We are appealing to local government to create more playgrounds and parks so that we will have a dedicated place where we will play because the shortage of these facilities is a major cause for pupils to end up playing on the road,” she said. Malatse said that at her school they are taught about road signs, safety awareness and rules of the road. They have school safety patrollers who assist pupils to cross the road when coming to school in the morning. “We also plead with motorists to respect our school patrollers and to stop when they are instructed to do so and give way to learners. They are some motorists who don’t adhere to the patrollers’ instructions,” said Malatse. Asked for her advice to motorists, she said, “We are young, and we still need to live long to pursue our education - please tolerate us on the road and keep us safe.” Malatse is inspired by famous television talk show host Oprah Winfrey. She said her shows cover real issues that affect people, such as physical, mental and physiological abuse. She dreams of becoming a surgical doctor and enjoys travelling and outdoor life. Malatse’s favourite meal is spaghetti bolognaise.
