Happy Heritage Month

A nation that does not know its heritage is like a tree without roots. It will not weather storms well, it will sink when floods erupt and it will perish before its due date hence our nation is proud to celebrate Heritage Month. People who do not embrace their heritage will leave the nation’s orphans in confusion because they will rely on foreign cultures to survive, adopting their ways of life, cultural values and beliefs. The nation will be CELEBRATING THE PAST: Inqubela Primary School swallowed, their forefather’s history will be educators are proud to celebrate Heritage Month. erased and ultimately the nation will not exist. It is because of these deep-rooted beliefs that Nqubela Primary School was one of the In Zonkizizwe, Manzini Primary School had Heritage Day remains an important day in our organizations that celebrated Heritage Day. a heritage function, and Kenneth Sibisi, nation’s calendar so we can celebrate our Principal Pinky Mbele said, “Heritage means the principal of the school said, “Heritage existence, culture, diversity and uniqueness. embracing our culture, our tradition and is a concept of Ubuntu, language, culture, Dressed in their traditional regalia on the remembering where we come from.

Happy Heritage Month September is Heritage Month, but in most cases people fail to understand the meaning of heritage. Firstly, we tend to define a person as belonging to a certain race or tribe because of the food they eat, their language and the clothes they wear, to mention a few characteristics. Heritage is about our traditions and roots that show where a person belongs. It is crucial to know where we come from, as this is what guides us in life. With westernisation, most people are neglecting their cultures and becoming assimilated into other peoples’ cultures. On the other hand, those people whose cultures we are following are not even copying ours, which means they are proud of their cultures. This is a lesson to all of us to be proud and to preserve our own cultures. As we celebrate Heritage Month, let us all show pride in our cultures by wearing our traditional regalia and doing all our cultural activities as a symbol of honouring this month. Happy Heritage Month…..
Cheers for now. Charity Moyo

Ekurhuleni to register churches
In a mission to resolve illegal land occupation, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) is calling upon the religious community to come forward to register their organizations and have them placed on the municipality’s database of churches. The accreditation process opened on 11 September and will run until 10 October 2014. Religious leaders can obtain and also submit application forms for accreditation at their nearest Customer Care Area (CCA) offices. The forms will be collected from the CCA by the Health and Social Development Department and feedback will be given to the applicants after the database has been formed. The registration will serve as part of an accreditation process to determine the eligibility of churches to access land and municipal facilities. This stems from discussions which took place at the Religious Summit held in Germiston in December
last year. At the Summit, religious leaders articulated their difficulties in acquiring land for their churches and four options were presented as a proposed solution for these: option 1 - leasing of schools owned by Department of Education as a short term solution; option 2 - leasing of Council-owned facilities as a short term solution; option 3 leasing and acquiring of Council-owned land as a long term solution; and option 4 - EMM to construct Church Precincts, where space shall be shared by various churches on a rotational basis. While the Metro’s Real Estate Department pursues these options, the Health and Social Development Department has established an accreditation process which serves to gather information on the churches that exist within the region. Accreditation will provide the EMM with an indication of whether a religious formation meets the basic criteria to bid for Council-owned land.
According to Ekurhuleni Metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe, accreditation of churches will ensure the optimization of resources by streamlining processes that will lead to proper land management and further ensure accountability. The accreditation database will also be used when engaging with external stakeholders such as the Department of Education on the use of schools as places of worship. Gadebe urges churches to apply to register. He said accredited churches will distinguish themselves from non-accredited churches and will therefore have the advantage of being eligible to obtain land through the bidding process. “The accredited churches will qualify to be prioritized for the use of municipal facilities as a place of worship and the accreditation is free of charge,” said Gadebe.
VANDERBIJLPARK. – What happens when a renowned female South African rock singer, guitarist, and song-writer teams up with an Indian-born South African comedian, actor and doctor? Magic! This is according to Alwine Naude, Alumni Coordinator at the Vaal Triangle Campus of the North-West University (NWU Vaal) and organiser of the NWU Vaal Alumni Gala Dinner 2014. This year, alumni and friends of the campus from across South Africa will be treated to a unique entertainment experience featuring Karen Zoid and Riaad Moosa. The theme of this year’s event is “Celebrate” and the event serves a dual purpose; not only does it serve as a platform from where the campus can celebrate its alumni community
but also the 10th anniversary of the founding of the North-West University. The NorthWest University (with its three campuses) came into being on 1 January 2004 as part of the transformation of the higher education landscape in South Africa. The institutions that came together to create the NWU were the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education (PU for CHE) and the University of North-West (UNIBO). In the case of the Vaal Triangle Campus, the staff and students of the Sebokeng Campus of the Vista University were also incorporated. The event will take place at the Quest Conference Estate in Vanderbijlpark on Thursday 30 October and the cost amounts to R2 300 per table of ten guests or R250 per
person. For more information or bookings, please contact Alwine on 082 802 9299 or send an email Alwine. naude@nwu. ac.za .

OF HOLIDAY AND MEMORIES AT SUN CITY
MORE BLESSED TO GIVE: Pastors give maize meal to a needy woman. The Gospel For All International Church from Ethiopia, which is based in Palm Ridge, has donated food items to underprivileged community members of Palm Ridge Extension 9 and Phola Park Extension 5. The community members were delighted with the donations, with some even fighting for food and all of them saying that the church donations provided welcome relief
for their hunger. Speaking to tame TIMES, Pastor Ashano Tanirap from Gospel For All International Church from Ethiopia said, “It is because of the mercy of the Lord that our church members donated food that we handed out to impoverished community members. We have a challenge of xenophobic attacks and this initiative is a way of showing humanity to fellow South Africans.”
Crime fugitive nabbed in Thokoza
CAUGHT AT LAST: The arrested fugitive with the police officers who are showing off the recovered 9mm pistol and ammunition An Audi A3 sedan driven erratically on Khumalo Street in Thokoza attracted the attention of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department Community Liaison Unit officers patrolling in the area. The police officers stopped the vehicle and recognised that the driver had been arrested in January 2013 on a charge of a business robbery committed at the Carnival Mall in Brakpan. They also recovered a 9mm Norinco pistol without serial numbers and eight live rounds of ammunition. It was confirmed that the 33 year-old suspect residing at Sparrow Hawk flats in Germiston had been on the run for months after skipping his trial. Charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition were registered at Germiston Police Station. A pending case on skipping bail will be heard in the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court soon. He is expected to appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.

Palm Ridge contestant reaches top 25
Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za The youngest Mr South Africa contestant, Keamohetse Rampaku (21) from Palm Ridge has now reached the top 25 of the national competition which began with 118 participants in February this year. Rampaku said the journey so far has not been a walk in the park. “It was difficult with
challenges and fun at the same time,” he said. “It is challenging to maintain a balance between two competitions and schoolwork, but I am managing. I am also a top five contestant in the male category of The Face of Varsity 2014 and am preparing for the finals to be held on 2 October. On the other hand, I am a media student at Boston Media House College,” said Rampaku. He said a lack of resources was also a challenge in the Mr South Africa competition. “The competition demands that the contestant has to be mobile, connected and source their own sponsorship for the competition tasks. We are financing the competition activities from our own pockets which is a bit challenging, but teaching us to be independent,” he said. Rampaku said the tasks for the competition are lifestyle-related and involve charity work in the community and leadership skills. He
said he has done motivational talks on drug awareness and eradication in schools around Palm Ridge. “Mr South Africa is based on leadership and intellectual skills. It is different from a normal beauty pageant - it helps with interpersonal skills and being able to relate with people.” Giving advice to those of the younger generation who want to take part in the competition, he said, “Nothing is impossible: as long as you have a vision, you will succeed
in the competition.” Rampaku is optimistic and working hard to be part of the top 12 contestants who will make it to the grand finals in November.

MY REAL LIFE HEART-BREAKING LOVE STORY! By: Mrs JR. Govender 44; (Alberton)
“WE HARDLY TALKED WITHOUT HIM FIGHTING ME OVER SMALL THINGS” I was so happy in a relationship with my lovely husband but after some time, he changed into something else. we rarely talked to each other at home and something simple could cause a big fight. He abandoned me with my children & we didn’t see him for 2-years. He moved out with a new girlfriend, which was a very painful experience to me. Over the years, I had tried seeking help from different people but they
only kept on asking me for more & more money without any single results till I met Akeem. He had helped my divorced sister re-unite with her ex-husband within 3 days after visiting Akeem. He charged me Mrs JR. Govender and her lovely family; 3-days after
R100 consultation fee. He then told me all my problems with out me mentioning a Akeem performed special prayers for her husband to return back home after 2-years of separation single word to him. Akeem told me that my husband was in a relationship with another lady & he showed me that lady live in a mirror. I was shocked! The image in the mirror was of a lady who was working with my husband. She had put a spell on him to ignore our children & cause fights between me and him. Akeem then performed a special prayer for me to remove all the bad spells my husband’s girlfriend had sent to me. After 3-days, my husband returned back home & asked for forgiveness. Today we are a happily married couple. I wish I had known Akeem long before, I couldn’t have lost my husband to another woman. There is no amount of words to thank Akeem, rather than telling everyone about him. I have since referred him to many people whom he has also helped! Financial Problems Love Relationships Work Crisis HE ALSO HELPS PEOPLE WITH; Family Problems Bad Luck Health Problems and Many More.......

Police dedication 77 suspects Missing arrested 28-year-old man appreciated Lebo Mosolodi

DEDICATION ACKNOWLEDGED: Constable Kabisile Moela and Constable Tebello Mononela The dedication of Thokoza Police Station Constables Kabisile Moela and Tebello Mononela was much appreciated and their work was showered with words of praise by the Democratic Alliance (DA) PR Councillor, Edson Mokoko. According to Councillor Mokoko, a complainant at Thintwa allowed a tenant to rent a shack in her yard in Thintwa Section in Thokoza for a monthly rental fee. “Within a short space of time, the house owner was stunned when the tenant started disowning the agreement. The tenant further verbally assaulted the house owner and threatened to take legal action against the house owner. The landlord reported the matter to the Community Police Forum (CPF) and the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco), without any success,” explained Mokoko. The landlord finally asked for the intervention of DA councillor Mokoko and both reported the matter to the Thokoza Police Station. The men in blue acted with vigour in a bid to restore law and order. “I was impressed
by the level of commitment, professionalism and dedication demonstrated by the two constables, Moela and Mononela. They both frequented the complainant’s house, showing concern after death threats were publicly made by the tenant against the landowner during their altercation. Both police officers successfully defused the tension and finally restored stability. Finally, the tenant dismantled his shack and left the yard of the landowner. Our police officers should learn from these dedicated police officers by responding to crime scenes on time in a bid to save lives,” concluded Mokoko. Thokoza Police Station spokesperson Captain Godfrey Maditsi said they were happy that the members of the public were recognising good work done by police officers. “It is an honour to get such a positive comment. The public should report police officers who are not executing their duties as stipulated so that management can start dealing with them accordingly,” concluded Maditsi.
ATM /bank syndicates on the rise Vosloorus SAPS are warning the community of Kathorus about syndicates that target clients withdrawing cash from ATMs or banks. The syndicates operate mostly at malls, targeting unsuspecting shoppers. Captain Piet Rossouw, Communications Officer of Vosloorus Police Station said, “The community should be aware of fraudsters waiting to defraud them at the malls. The fraudsters are targeting people withdrawing money from ATM machines, banks or money outlets. A member of the syndicate will walk up to an unsuspecting person who recently withdrew cash and drop a bundle of money. A second member of the syndicate, who will also “witness” the money being dropped, will approach the unsuspecting person who recently withdrew cash and show the person the abandoned bundle of cash lying on the ground. The syndicate member will then convince the unsuspecting person to follow him quickly to a spot where they can share the abandoned cash. As soon as they reach a spot where they cannot be seen by the public, fellow syndicate members arrive and rob him or her of their money.” Below are some useful crime prevention tips: At the ATM: - Be alert and conscious of your surroundings when using the ATM. - Never give your card or PIN (Personal Identification Number) to anyone, for
any reason. - Do not write your PIN on the card or anything that is kept with the card. - Do not insert your card until asked to do so by the display screen. - Never use an ATM with a blank screen and, if the ATM is obscured from view or poorly lit, leave immediately and find another ATM. - Stand close to the ATM and use your body and hand as a shield to make sure nobody sees you keying in your PIN. - Also, make sure you keep your hand over the card slot to make sure nobody can swap or take your card. - Never accept help from strangers when using an ATM. You should be wary of strangers asking for help. - Criminals work in teams - one distracts you while the other steals your card or money. - If your card is retained (swallowed) by the ATM, it is advisable to phone your bank’s toll-free stop card line immediately and stop your card. - Never allow a bystander to call the toll-free stop card line on your behalf - they could be tricking you into thinking your card has been stopped. - Guards are placed at ATMs to discourage criminal activities and therefore cannot help you with transactions. - If you need help, ask a bank official. - It is advisable to set a daily ATM withdrawal limit at your branch.
In a bid to bring law and order to the Kathorus area in Ekurhuleni, police officers arrested 77 suspects for various crimes over the weekend. Speaking to Tame TIMES, Katlehong police spokesperson Mega Ndobe said six suspects were arrested for one murder in Eden Park. “One suspect was arrested for the theft of a firearm and the theft of cash in Vosloorus. Another suspect was arrested for indecent assault and yet another suspect was arrested for shoplifting. 15 suspects were arrested for possession of dagga in various parts of Kathorus,” explained Ndobe. He also said eight suspects were arrested for drinking in public and one suspect was arrested on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant. Ndobe said other suspects were also arrested over the weekend for various crimes ranging from assault, theft and fraud to using a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent.
Zola Ntsodo (28) went missing on 2 September 2013. He was last seen on his way to board a taxi going to Johannesburg from Kwanele section in Katlehong. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts should contact Warrant Officer France Sithusa on 082 524 5381\ 011 617 363 \ report to the nearest police station.
MISSING: Zola Ntsodo
Five suspects arrested for numerous crimes Four men and one woman suspected to be linked to a string of robberies, murders and hijackings were arrested on Monday around 6am in Katlehong. A stolen firearm, a toy gun resembling the real thing, three stolen vehicles, twenty-four cellphones, several bank cards and wallets were recovered by the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Community Liaison Unit members. Subsequent to receiving a tip-off, Metro Police officers kept the men under surveillance for five long days so as to check the activities they were engaging in as well as their movements, EMPD spokesperson, Wilfred Kgasago said. “The staking out of the suspects’ residences in Katlehong commenced on Wednesday last week. The Metro Police officers decided to pounce on Monday and two suspects were apprehended in Phooko section - one
of them with a girlfriend - and another two in Phadima section,” Kgasago explained. Since reliable information had been received that pointed to the four men working together in committing the crimes, they were all charged with possession of a stolen 9mm CZ75 pistol and ammunition, as well as possession of three motor vehicles. The Toyota Corolla, Toyota Conquest and the VW Golf 5 were hijacked in Springs, Benoni and Meyerton respectively. The former two were hijacked in August and the latter was hijacked on 7 September. The charges were registered at Katlehong North Police Station. In-depth investigations are underway to verify the four men’s involvement in a string of crimes committed recently in Ekurhuleni. They are expected to appear in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court soon.

Crissy’s Spring Strawberries ‘n Cream Trifle Ingredients: - 1kg bought sponge cake, cut into 2-3cm pieces - 300ml tub thickened cream, whipped - Strawberries, washed, stalks removed, halved, to decorate - Pure icing sugar, to dust - Strawberry compote - 3 x 250g punnets strawberries, washed, stalks removed - 375ml (1 1/2 cups) dessert wine - 55g (1/4 cup) caster sugar - Vanilla custard - 35g (1/4 cup) custard powder - 55g (1/4 cup) caster sugar - 625ml (2 ½ cups) milk - 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or strawberry essence - 250g mascarpone cream cheese
Method:
Step 1 To make the strawberry compote, stir the strawberries, wine and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5-10 minutes or until strawberries are soft but still hold their shape. Set aside to cool completely. Step 2 To make the vanilla custard, combine the custard powder and sugar in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk and cream until smooth. Add the vanilla essence. Whisk over mediumlow heat until the mixture boils and thickens. Boil, while stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming. Set aside to cool completely. Remove and discard the vanilla bean. Fold the mascarpone cream cheese into the custard. Step 3 Place half the sponge cake in a 3 litre (12-cup) capacity glass serving bowl. Top with half the strawberry compote and half the custard. Repeat with remaining sponge, strawberry compote and custard. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight to chill. Step 4 Top with cream and strawberries. Dust with icing sugar.

Kasi FM celebrates 7th anniversary Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za
Kasi FM celebrated its seventh year anniversary yesterday at Mlando Restaurant in Katlehong. The event coincided with Heritage Day, with a line-up that featured reputable local artists including Thebe, Dj Clock, DJ Mshega, Bucie and Soul Phenduka. Residents Dj Pakiso and Mgabe showcased their music skills behind the turntables and entry at the gate was R30. Speaking to tame TIMES, the station’s longest serving disc jockey Jabulani “DJ X” Xhasa said the radio station was conceptualised and registered in 1997. “We first went on air on 16 June 1998; from then on we only broadcasted exclusively for special events for nine years. In 2007 ICASA finally gave us a permanent licence to broadcast on a fulltime basis. During our existence as a community radio station, we managed to produce household names within broadcasting, including Aldri Sam Pear, Karabo Maila and Mpho Phuthini,” explained DJ X. Pear is now a news reader at Power FM and Maila has relocated to Limpopo, where she is working for Capricorn FM as a radio presenter. Phuthini hosts the afternoon drive show at Jozi FM, and also features in advertisements and presents a television show. DJ X told tame TIMES that Kasi FM will remain committed to developing the Ekurhuleni community and that listeners should continue to use their f a v o u r i t e radio station productively.
PART OF OUR HERITAGE: Local artists entertained the crowd at Kasi FM’s seventh birthday celebration held at Mlando Restaurant.
Face of Eastrand workshop empowers ladies Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za The Top Notch Event Company recently hosted a workshop at Park Joint in Katlehong in a bid to empower ladies and mobilise support for the Face of East Rand Beauty Pageant to be held on 11 October. However, the event organisers have not yet confirmed the venue. Twenty-five beautiful ladies converged on Park Joint to be part of the workshop. According to Top Notch Event Company Chief Operating Officer (COO) Abongile Dubaduba, the positive message they sent out on the day is that “Ekurhuleni young ladies should always remember that everything is possible in life. However, for them to realise that, they should start today by acting on their beliefs so that their dreams can come alive. Our objective is to empower and motivate beautiful young Ekurhuleni ladies. We would like to take this opportunity to remind them that the Face of East Rand Beauty Pageant will take place on 11 October at a venue that has yet to be chosen,” said Dubaduba. Their next assignment is to embark on a roadshow to Kwa Thema schools and next month they will host a charity event at Iketsetse Orphanage Home.

Consumption matters Lebo Mosolodi
lebo@tametimes.co.za Gone are the days when driving a car was judged by the sound of its engine - today’s car owners think much more about affordability, style and good fuel consumption. It is because of the above-mentioned facts that William Nonkevu fell in love with his Polo vehicle. Speaking to tame TIMES, Nonkevo boasted that he never has a king-size headache when filling up with diesel at the filling station. What car are you driving? I am driving a Polo 2004 model. Is this your first VW car? It is my first VW car and I am addicted to it.
How much diesel do you use every week? I pour about R150 diesel per week. I use my car to travel to work and back home in the township. Have you travelled outside the province in this car? I have travelled to Cape Town, and poured about R1 600 of diesel. I also travelled in this car to Rustenburg and poured about R300 diesel, and travelled to Polokwane and poured R600 diesel. What advice do you give to fellow motorists? They should always be patient on the road and respect other people on the road. Motorists should take their cars regularly for wheel balancing, service their engines and inspect their car tyres.
TRUE LOVE: William Nonkevo is proud of his car’s diesel consumption.

Youth urged to stop copying others Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Zirnobia Silver is very concerned about how peer pressure affects the lives of youth at tertiary level. She said it is a big challenge, in that some are imitating lifestyles that can endanger them. “In high school it was better, because there were stringent rules compared to tertiary level. Smoking at high school was prohibited, while in tertiary it’s a fashion and no one can stop anyone,” said Silver. She said peer pressure is a challenge in that it can lead to the youth finding negative ways of sourcing money such as prostitution, sugar daddies and crime. Silver says that young people do these things in order to have money to buy the latest fashion trends, drive nice cars and cellphones and to be someone else. She added that these behaviours can also lead to their dropping out from school and committing suicide when the pressure becomes too much to handle. Her advice to youth who are affected by peer pressure is: “Be yourself - find yourself before imitating someone else. It is not always where you come from that counts, but what you make up your mind you want to be. Work hard - you will excel and you will be able to be what you want be,” explained Silver. Silver said heritage means going back to our roots and knowing where we come from.
HAPPY TO BE HERSELF: Zirnobia Silver is proud of who she is and will not imitate other people’s lifestyles. She is studying electrical engineering NCV level 2 at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus campus. Her hobbies are dancing and reading.

lebo@tametimes.co.za
The Skippa Soccer Academy will be hosting football trials for male and female soccer players in the under-7 to under-15 age categories at Eden Park Stadium for seven days, starting from 1 October. According to the founder of Tshwane Highlanders Football Academy, Alpheus Tshantsa, both current and former footballers will attend the event. Speaking to tame TIMES, the event organiser Mzwandile “Zane” Hlako said their objective is to expose youngsters to soccer in a bid to channel their energies in the right direction. “Successful footballers at the trials will have the opportunity of being placed with soccer academies and professional soccer teams. Soccer academies will also pay for a successful player’s accommodation and education fees,” said Hlako.
Some of the soccer stars previously placed in professional soccer teams by the Skippa Soccer Academy include Malizole Kalipha, who is now playing for Wits Junior, Jacob Monokwane, who is playing for Kwazi FC campaigning in the Vodacom league and Bheka Dlamini, who played for the Super sports United under-19s last season. “We have invited soccer scouts from various academies to attend the event. It will run from 7am until late in the afternoon. Players are urged to bring along soccer boots, training outfits and lunch boxes. The registration fee is R350 per head,” concluded Hlako.

Kathorus roller skating team surpasses expectations Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za The Kathorus Roller-skating Club’s debut appearance at the South African Championship Artistic Show held recently at the Port Elizabeth Municipality Hall in Motherwell remains the most memorable experience in the team’s calendar so far. The event gave roller skaters a seven-day platform to showcase their dancing and storytelling skills while wearing roller-skates. Speaking to tame TIMES, Kathorus Roller-skating Club Team Manager Itumeleng Pitso said their team had eight representatives who competed in the H Group Opening. “We were impressed by the level of commitment shown during the competition. Our team members surpassed even their own expectations in their debut appearance when they were officially elected to position three. We were competing against eight experienced teams countrywide and got bronze for our efforts,” explained Pitso. He said they would use the wealth of experience gained in their debut season productively going forward. Pitso promised that they would prepare well and work hard for the same competition next year; although, according to the Kathorus team leader, the date and venue of next year’s skating competition has not yet been confirmed.
