Tshwaragano Primary School in Thokoza is delighted to have a total of 10 sets of twins in 2015 - for the first time in the history of the school. Josephina Mathoto Tlou, principal of Tshwaragano Primary School and a mother of twins herself, said, “It is like a continuation from home to school. Twins are a blessing, so we feel honoured and special to have many twins at the school. We have separated them, because it is difficult to teach
them in one class. We have realised that they are always looking at each other; and, if one gets sad, it affects the other twin. They also lose attention when attending the same class.” Rowena Seremane, an educator at the school, said they are very excited to have 10 sets of twins. “They know that they are twins; some are identical while others are not. Twins bring joy and it runs through the family genes,” said Seremane. Learner Refilwe Malinga, who is a twin to Naledi, said, “We fight a lot but we love one another because we are twins. I feel the pain when my twin is beaten. l don’t want anything that will hurt her.” In Grade R there is one set of twins, namely SEEING DOUBLE: Ndebenhle and Ndabikhona Mthethwa. Tshwaragano Primary In Grade One there are five sets of twins, School’s ten sets of namely Busisiwe and Sbusiso Nkosi, twins Princess and Prince Nkomo, Luyanda and Lwandile Sibiya, Thandeka and Themba Hlatshwayo and Instore Cutting & Edging Wholesale Builing Supplies Mapasela and ALL COLOURS CHIPBOARD Roll-up Door Mpasi Tsilo.

Happy Valentine’s Day February is the month of love. As l pass by all the shops, peering through the windows, I see Valentine’s gifts and decorations on display and many people from different age groups holding or buying those gifts. This shows that people still love and care for one another. We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this Saturday and some people are anxious, as they are not sure whether they will
receive presents; while others are excited and optimistic that they will be receive something from their loved one. I believe that Valentine’s Day is not only for couples, but for anyone that you care about and need to express your affection to. It could be a friend, family member or relative. People should not just wait to receive presents, but should practise being the first one to hand out gifts. As part of celebrating the love month, the City of Ekurhuleni is hosting the High Schools debate finals at Alberton Civic 730 Outeniqua Street, Alrode South Entrance, Centre today.

Miss Earth SA hands out stationery packs

tame TIMES THOKOZA
Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Eden Ridge Primary School learners were extremely delighted to receive full stationery packs from Miss Earth SA IIze Saunders. Miss Earth SA 2014, together with her team, handed out the stationery packs to the learners. Catherine Constantinides, Executive Director of the Miss Earth organisation said, “We are giving learners tools to be educated with. The stationery drive campaign basically is for the learners to dream, to draw colours - as we believe one colour pencil draws a thousand dreams.” She said they have a long-standing relationship with the school and if the need arises, they help. Nkwe Rankapola, principal of Eden Ridge Primary School said, “It is a brilliant initiative which enhances lifelong learning in the classrooms. They are also leading by example that education is a societal issue. Every year since 2012 they always come to our school to give support.”

Hostel-dweller artist Bheki “Umgquzeni” Nqotheni recently released his third Maskandi album titled “Umalema,” which sends a strong message against employment agencies that are used to exploit hard-working employees. Speaking to tame TIMES, Umgquzeni said the album consists of 11 Maskandi hit tracks. He said the title track urges Julius “Juju” Malema to fight for the abolishment of employment agencies. “We are calling for Malema to lead workers in their fight against employment agencies. Malema’s political influence surpassed most politicians; hence EFF is the third largest party countrywide. The party attributes its great success to Juju’s influence,” said Umgquzeni. He said another hit track coming out from the album is dubbed S’khebhereshe (prostitute), “The song is inspired by the alleged separate rape incidents involving Cosatu Secretary-General Zwelinzima Vavi and President Jacob Zuma. It is unfortunate that there are ladies who deliberately accuse men of raping them. In both these high-profile alleged rape incidents, victims want to extort money from alleged rape suspects instead of demanding justice.” “Another hit track coming from the album is called Umuzikababa. The track highlights brutality often suffered by young children who are left looking after their parents prior to their eventual death Enrolments Now Open For 2015! - when their parents Includes Internship & Life Changing Workshop No Matric Needed & Foreigners Are W Welcome died, their next of kin sold the parent’s house, disregarding Pay Cash In Full, Get 10% Off, Choose Any 2 Courses the consequences And Receive A FREE Tablet PC of their actions,” www.itbc.co.za explained Umqguzeni. 6 Month Office Admin / PA 6 Month PC C Technician Technician In this recent album, CompTIA Strata Internet & Computing he worked with CompTIA A+ 801, Office 2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, reputable artists CompTIA A+ 802, Access, Outlook), CompTIA Network+, Skills for the Admin Assistant, including Sixaxa Customer Service, Customer Service, Touch Typing & Mastering the Interview.
