We welcome you all once again in our midmonth edition of November. I am amazed at how time flies as we are almost at the end of the year; most people are planning on how they will spend their festive season holidays. This is the time of the year where we look back and assess what we have achieved in the year 2014. If we are not satisfied and have not achieved anything we have to start planning our goals for next year now. It is also the rainy season, so we advise drivers to be cautious and to refrain from speeding as the roads will be wet and slippery. People who are residing next to river banks should try to find alternative places for now to avoid being victims of floods. Parents should also make sure that their children are not playing
in the river or dams to avoid drowning. They should take their children to the municipality swimming pools where it is safe and there are responsible people in charge of the facilities. At this time of the year, most companies, organizations and different stakeholders are hosting parties, graduation ceremonies and functions. If you want your events to be covered in the newspaper, don’t hesitate to contact our editorial team. It is raining outside and I don’t want to get wet, so I am going back inside the office. Cheers for now. Charity Moyo, tame TIMES Kathorus Editor.
Natalspruit Hospital is pleading with the community to collect the unclaimed bodies of patients who died while receiving care at the institution. The hospital management has noted with concern a worrying trend of unclaimed bodies being left for weeks at the hospital mortuary. Although some of the bodies have been in the mortuary from September 2014, they have not yet been collected by family members for dignified burial. The hospital management would like to appeal to community members to come forward and collect the bodies of their loved ones. If they are not collected within 21 days, the institution will be left with no option but to carry out a mass burial for all unclaimed bodies. Members of the public who would like to arrange for collection of the remains of their loved ones should contact the hospital

Kathorus celebrates Senzo’s life As part of celebrating the life of soccer star Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, who was shot and killed in Vosloorus - tame TIMES Kathorus, in partnership with Chris Hani Mall, Kasie FM and Orlando Pirates Vosloorus branch, hosted a memorial service. The memorial service was held at the Chris Hani Mall parking lot and attended by Orlando Pirates supporters in particular and football supporters in general, wearing their favourite teams’ regalia.

Several speakers from various stakeholders spoke about how Senzo inspired and motivated them to watch soccer with his acrobatic skills and
tactics. Vosloorus Police officers from Charity Moyo the Crime Prevention unit were also charity@tametimes.co.za part of the event and highlighted the need for the community has to work with the police to fight crime. Senzo Meyiwa was shot during a house robbery in Mzamo Section 28 in Vosloorus on 26 October while visiting his girlfriend singer Kelly Khumalo.

The suspects were identified as a result of information received from witnesses as well as the public. One suspect, Zenokuhle Mbatha, a 25-year-old Vosloorus resident, was charged on the basis of positive identification by some of the witnesses and has been remanded in custody. He first appeared on 31 October at Boksburg Court and the case was postponed to give him time to get legal aid.

TO ADVERTISE Residents Call 011 862 8500 to speak to a sales executive warned to stop digging trenches time
Ekurhuleni residents have been warned to stop digging trenches in the street and to apply for speed humps instead. These traffic calming measures play a significant role in ensuring the safety of all road users, particularly vulnerable ones like young children. Communities across Ekurhuleni also recognize the need of these measures. Some even go to the extent of damaging roads by unlawfully digging them up to create “speed trenches” that force motorists to slow down. The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality has taken note of this trend and wants residents to know that there is no need to take such action – which in some instances is driven by the lack of knowledge on the correct processes to follow to have traffic calming measures installed. Thabo Xaba, father of a three-year-old girl from Katlehong, supports the digging of trenches and the creation of speed humps by residents on municipal tarred roads. “Cars speed through the road, with no regard or consideration that there are children who play in the streets. As a driver myself, I know that a hole in the road forces a driver to slow down,” he said. Another community member, Lebohang Montle, who is one of the diggers creating trenches, said he is frustrated by the lack of speed humps on roads in his neighbourhood. “There have been five accidents already and one of them resulted in the death of an old man who was hit by a speeding vehicle. The funny thing is that the police and the councillor know about this problem and we have signed more than five petitions. Everyone was involved. The school, the church and the community members all signed but still there are no speed humps,” said Montle. His frustration is shared by many communities; however, the implementation of methods such as speed humps, raised pedestrian crossings and mini-circles is determined by a set of national guidelines. Where a need has been identified, residents can apply by filling in a Traffic Calming Measures request form. Phillip Nice, Manager: Road and Storm Water at the EMM said, “The Metro’s Roads and Storm water Department evaluates every request for traffic calming measures and implements them as per the national guidelines and policies for traffic calming. Each request is evaluated and prioritized. When the request is warranted, the oversight committee approves the Preliminary Design Report and then the request is added to the waiting list for implementation.” Residents are advised to ensure that the form clearly identifies the street(s) name or the affected area, the envisaged position of the traffic calming measure being applied for and a description of the nature of the problem(s). The request form should have the signature of the ward councillor and all the supporting residents in the affected area. Communities should take note that it may not be possible to place traffic calming measures, be they of a certain type or any type at all, on all roads. This is because of the classification of roads according to their purpose. For instance, a Class 3 road is a “higher order” road which in terms of the afore-mentioned guidelines does not warrant the installation of physical traffic calming measures. This is because Class 3 roads need to be functional as access and mobility routes. Implementation of vigilante methods will also therefore contribute negatively towards the functionality of the roads. Traffic Calming Measures application forms can be obtained from ward councillors’ offices.

Silindile a contradiction of her name Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za
WOMANPOWER: Silindile Malwane wants to play a role in transformation of the electrical engineering field. Silindile (waiting) Malwane (20), is a contradiction of her name as she does not wait, but seizes every opportunity that comes her way in an endeavour to make a difference. She describes herself as a person who delights in bringing new perspectives to the artificial landscapes created by society. “Boys often take advantage if we (ladies) depend on them for survival. That is the reason I have chosen the Electrical Engineering Diploma course, which is aimed
at eradicating the misconception that some professions are solely designed for men. While growing up, I was inspired by my elder brother who was an electrical engineer. That is when I made the decision not to take one of the conventional careers that are favoured by ladies such as nursing, teaching and police officer. I want to take part in transforming the society and career path of the generation coming after me,” said Malwane. She said there are business and employment opportunities in the electrical engineering field that have yet to be exploited. Malwane said numerous places in rural areas have no electricity and there is still plenty to be done in the electrical engineering industry. “These various opportunities need to be seized by women in a bid to eradicate the misconception that some careers are meant for men. I’m currently doing N5 in Electrical Engineering and I hope to get my learnership before I get my N6 certificate.” “We appeal to the business sector to give us opportunities to do job shadowing in their respective companies so that we could have the required job experience.” “We appreciate the financial assistance we are getting from the national government, but it is not enough,” concluded Malwane.

Thokoza police arrested 8 suspects
The Thokoza South African Police Services (SAPS) have arrested eight suspects in their operation to crack down on criminal activities in the area. Speaking to the media, the station spokesperson Constable Patrick Mashiyane said a 31-year-old suspect was finally arrested in connection with murder after he had been on the run for some time. “The suspect’s three accomplices have already been arrested for a murder that took place early last year in Thokoza in Mamello
Street. The deceased was Velaphi Nicholas Ndlovu, who was assaulted and stoned to death by four suspects driving a VW Golf. We arrested three and finally managed the arrest of the final suspect last weekend,” explained Mashiyane. Police arrested two suspects for possession of drugs, one suspect for possession of stolen property and another two suspects for common assault. A suspect was arrested for drinking in public and another for common robbery.
Thokoza crime Meyiwa suspect walks free Charity Moyo successes charity@tametimes.co.za Thokoza SAPS members in charge of crime prevention and those working on a special operation arrested 34 suspects from 31 October to 2 November for various offences. The suspects were arrested for the following crimes, among others: Possession of dagga:..................3 Possession of drugs:...................6 Possession of ammunition: .........1 Assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm:...................4 Drinking in public: ......................17 Murder:.......................................1
Charges against Zanokuhle Mbatha, 25, from Vosloorus, who was implicated in the murder of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates Captain Senzo Meyiwa, were withdrawn at the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. According to the Magistrate, not enough evidence was found linking the accused to the charges. Mbatha was arrested following investigations by the police that apparently implicated him in the murder of Meyiwa. After his arrest, Mbatha spent days in custody; he appeared in court for the first time on 31 October, when he was remanded in custody. Meyiwa was shot and killed in Vosloorus, while visiting his girlfriend, singer and actress Kelly Khumalo on 26 October. It is alleged that two unknown African males entered the house and demanded cellphones before shooting Meyiwa and running away.

Study, work or gap year?
- counting the life-time financial cost Although most Matrics currently writing exams think they have a plan for next year, there are many who are still undecided about the right thing to do. Unfortunately, there are also many who will have their plans thrown into disarray by their results or changed personal circumstances. So the key questions a significant number of Matrics will have to face in the coming months are: • Should I study or work next year? • What about a gap year? • What happens if I study and fail? “While no one can predict with 100% accuracy the way things will turn out, there are a couple of realities to take into consideration,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of The Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest and most accredited private higher education institution. “The first thing to note is that graduates generally earn more throughout their lives than those without post-school qualifications and they are more likely to find employment,” she says. “So if you are in a position to get a higher education, you must certainly choose that route rather than just going straight into the workplace.” A 2009 study by the Southern Africa Labour
and Development Research Unit indicated that earnings showed a linear improvement from Matric to a degree. At the time, a person with an average Matric received R1 100 a month in their first job, but this increased to R3 100 a month with an average diploma or certificate and rose to R5 400 a month with an average degree. People with tertiary education were also twice as likely to be employed, according to the research. “This differential will generally follow people throughout their careers, with no narrowing of the gap between graduates and nongraduates over a career span. Together, these are compelling reasons to study,” says Coughlan. “However, it is equally important that you study something that is employable, that is recognized by employers. You must also choose an institution that will provide you with two additional critical things: firstly, the curriculum and learning process should enable you to master work-ready skills so that you have a competitive ‘hit the ground running’ advantage. Having a portfolio of work at graduation, for example, allows you to instantly showcase what you have learnt and what makes you an attractive prospect to potential employers.”
“Secondly, you must choose an institution that will give you the best possible chance of succeeding and completing your qualification in the minimum time. Every additional year of study leaves a long-term financial impact, so consider things such as student support, class sizes, and the quality of lecturing and facilities.” Although taking a gap year is a popular option for many Matrics, and can be an attractive prospect after having spent 12 years on school benches, its pros and cons should be carefully weighed, says Coughlan. “Unfortunately, a gap year puts you a year behind your peers in terms of studying and earning potential; but if you use the time to make some money or gain life or work experience and you incur no debt, it could be worth considering - particularly so if it also means that when you do eventually start your studies, you are more focused and able
Page 11 to succeed and graduate in the minimum time.” Coughlan says that, from a financial perspective, the student who studies straight after school and graduates in three years is significantly better off than Matriculants who elect any other option – be it entering the workplace or taking a gap year. “However, the student who takes a gap year, rather than studying a year and failing, is better off than the student who fails and repeats one year - and much better off than the student who has to repeat two years.” Coughlan says that the numbers to demonstrate the impact of these scenarios are clear – even if one uses very simplistic calculations that ignore living expenses, the cost of debt and any other particular condition. “Time is money - and wasting time has a sustained financial impact throughout a person’s productive life,” she says.
