charity@tametimes.co.za
Bobbi Brown donated R366 700 to Heart Beat in Vosloorus as part of their Pretty Powerful Campaign which aims to help women of all ages “be who they are” by supporting educational or job skills training programmes. Heart Beat children competed for Mini Miss Pretty Powerful and Little Miss Pretty Powerfull on the day of the handover. The beauty pageant contestants had their faces made up with Bobbi Brown mascara. Mini Miss Pretty Powerful was won by Lesedi Ramothibe, the first princess tittle went to Enhle Ntshangase and Karabo Mokabo was crowned the second princess. The Miss Little
Powerful title was won by Bongiwe Ngobese, the first runnerup was Samkelisiwe Kubheka and the second princess was Nonhlanhla Chiliza. Sue Fox, managing director of Estee Lauder, said, “Bobbi Brown raised money for Heart Beat through the sales of Bobbi Brown mascara. The main objective is to empower women and give them confidence. Heart Beat is a centre for orphans and vulnerable children and Bobbi Brown is giving them the ability to reach
anywhere. It is also part of our corporate social responsibility.” She added that she was proud of the children who took part in the beauty pageant with Bobbi Brown make-up on their faces. “The children were walking very tall with pride and enjoying themselves.” Project manager of Heart Beat, Silas Gumede said, “We appreciate the donations and we will make sure that we will provide quality service to the children we are serving. We also hosted a beauty pageant to appreciate Bobbi Brown as its focus is on boosting the confidence of the girl child.”

I have had enough of people talking about their rights. Some say it’s their right to know how the government is spending their tax money, while others say it is their right to know the whereabouts of their partner and to browse through their cellphone because they are in a relationship. The question is: do people know their actual fundamental human rights, as declared by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the constitution of the Republic of South Africa - as listed in our bill of rights? On 21 March it is Human Rights Day, and we will be celebrating our rights. People will be educated and made aware of their basic rights. This is because there are some people who don’t know their rights and they are some who are abusing them intentionally and some without being aware of what they are doing. It is especially important for children, women, the elderly and people with disabilities to know their rights, as they are the most vulnerable people in the society. In short, however, everyone has the right to life and access to health facilities and all children have a right to education. This fortnight we have an article from a local DJ who is educating people about their right to life. The community of Ekurhuleni is also encouraged to write in with their views regarding the State of the City address to be held on 25 March at Germiston Civic Centre. For more information on how to do this, please read this copy of the tame TIMES newspaper. The Kathorus’s Got Talent Show has been launched for the first time in Kathorus, with the mission of unearthing local talent and there is an article in the paper informing people how to enter the competition and stand a chance to win R10 000 in cash. Don’t miss this lifetime opportunity to make your dream a reality - as for me, I can’t wait to see you shine. Cheers for now, from Charity Moyo, Editor for tame TIMES Kathorus.

The people of Ekurhuleni have never let us down in terms of letting us into their thoughts and we are confident that they will once again come to the party and tell us their expectations”. “As a government of the people, we view public participation in our work as a key component of taking Ekurhuleni forward. I therefore appeal to our residents and opinion makers to participate in this process because we desperately seek their views,” explains Executive Mayor Mondli Gungubele. Residents can give their SOCA tips through suggestion boxes at Customer Care Centres, the city of Ekurhuleni’s Facebook page, the municipal official website: www.ekurhuleni.gov.za and by emailing their tips to SOCA.tips@ekurhuleni.gov.za.

Robbed twice in a day Lebo Mosolodi
lebo@tametimes.co.za An Ethiopian national shop-owner in Vosloorus Extension 28 was robbed twice in one day by the same suspect – once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The incident left the shopowner without his profit for the day, and also concerned about his safety. According to the investigating officer Detective Sergeant Michael Bilankulu, the victim knows the 26-year-old suspect Thabo Khaya. So he was able to alert the sector police patrolling the area quickly, and the perpetrator was arrested. The suspect was finally found guilty by the Vosloorus Court and sentenced to prison. On the first count, the suspect was found guilty for aggravating circumstances and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. On the second count, the suspect was found guilty of robbery with a knife and was fined R1000 or three months in prison. Vosloorus Police Station spokesperson Captain Piet Rossouw raised his concerns about the escalation in robberies of foreignowned tuckshops that took place between August and December 2014 in Vosloorus.
“The arresting and sentencing of Thabo Khaya might contribute significantly to the recent drop of foreign tuckshop robberies. Criminals should be reminded that crime does not pay,” concluded Captain Rossouw.
WELL DONE: Detective Sergeant Michael Bilankulu is excited about the sentencing of Thabo Khaya.

Roof lookout gets 6 years Tisetso Gift Mofokeng (22) was found guilty of business robbery and sentenced to six years imprisonment for the first count of house-breaking with intention to rob, and 15 years imprisonment for the second count of robbery with aggravated circumstances at Vosloorus Court recently.
Mofokeng and his two accomplices were on a mission to rob a foreign spaza shop in Vosloorus Extension 7 on 20 July last year at about 2:40 am. His two friends gained entry to the shop through the roof. Mofokeng remained on top of the roof as the lookout, waiting to pull them out when their mission was accomplished. There were two people sleeping inside the shop – the owner and a friend, whom Mofokeng’s armed accomplices assaulted, demanding money. They took R2 600 cash, airtime to the value of R1 800 and cigarettes to the value of about R650. The suspects noticed that the keys of the shop were at the door and used them to make their exit. Detective Constable Fihlang Molefe said the neighbours heard the noise and called the police patrol vehicle that was in the area. “The police arrived immediately at the scene and found Mofokeng struggling to get off the shop roof. He was arrested for business robbery but his two accomplices are still at large. One of the victims was seriously injured and was taken to Cape Town for brain damage treatment,” said Molefe.
DETECTIVE CONSTABLE FIHLANG MOLEFE: is working hard to make sure that perpetrators of crime face the full might of the law.

The Right to Life Saturday 21 March is Human Rights Day, and 2015 marks 21 years of a new democratic dispensation in a country that is troubled by a disturbing past but has forged ahead to enact one of the most liberal constitutions in the entire world. We spoke reconciliation when the opposite was expected; blood was spilled and sacrifices were made by ordinary people to ensure we had equal treatment irrespective of race or gender, among other things. We indeed have a lot to celebrate, including the contributions made by the women and children of our soil, who kept things together when it was impossible to do so - they still deserve a lot of support from all sectors of our
country. As we gear up to commemorate this iconic day, shivers go down my spine when I constantly read and hear about the plight of women losing their lives at the hands of their partners. There are high numbers of women killed by the men in their lives in fits of rage; these men at times turn to kill other family members and then commit suicide. Why such carnage? What went wrong with men? Let’s take a moment and reflect on the rights of women versus domestic disputes that keep arising; let’s be reminded of the love that brought us together before committing crimes of passion. There’s a lot of good men in our country:

Joyous Celebration holds auditions
Lebo Mosolodi

The Love Awakening Ministry is embarking on a crusade to revive the spirit of ubuntu, change learners’ social behaviour, fight abuse and preach the Word of God. Speaking to tame TIMES, Pastor Dumisani Dube said he is excited about this positive initiative, which touches about 13 schools in Vosloorus, Phumula and other neighbouring areas. “We are active mostly in Phumula Primary School, Leondale Primary School,

but other schools we seldom visit due to a shortage of transport. I started the programme in 2009 owing to my brutal sexual experience at a young age. There are lot of learners who have been sexually abused and suffered a variety of social ills.” He said to be sexually abused brought low self-esteem, resentment and bitterness in his life. Dube said his terrible experience made him a violent child and he grew up as a drug addict. He preaches at every morning assembly in Phumula Primary School about the Word of God, hosts motivational sessions and holds deliverance sessions for learners possessed by demons. “The cause of malfunctioning in most families where learners come from is due to lack of Godliness in their homes and lack of parental care. Some parents create houses for their children to stay in, instead of building warm homes for them to live in and grow up as responsible citizens. My ambition is to build responsible future citizens without social ills. We teach learners the importance of knowing how to conquer in life and regularly host group discussions concerning crime. Our workshop assists learners to build positive characters and self-esteem,” said Dube. The Love Awakening Ministry hosts training sessions for its youth support group, which runs from 12pm-14:30 on Saturdays at Phumula Primary School.
JOYOUS CELEBRATION: performs at one of their gigs. MTN Joyous Celebration will host auditions for the cast of Joyous 20 starting from March, giving the public at large a chance to be part of this wellknown gospel ensemble. Auditions will be held in most major cities across the country, kicking off on 31 March and running until September 2016, when they conclude the Joyous 19 tour. If anyone thinks they have what it takes to be a part of this amazing project, this is their chance! Applicants need to register by sending an SMS to a number and will in turn receive a reference number that secures their place in the auditions. Auditions will be held in each of the Joyous 19 tour hosting cities within the week of the performance, starting with Johannesburg and including Port Elizabeth, Durban, Middelburg, Bloemfontein and Rustenburg. Shortlisted and successful candidates will be informed between
September and October 2015. “There is so much talent in Mzansi and we are looking forward to adding some unique, new and fresh talented vocalists and musicians to our choir and band to be introduced and unveiled to the South Africa public through the Joyous 20 production,” says co-founder of the gospel group, Lindelani Mkhize. Larry Annetts, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN SA said they believe that these auditions are crucial for music development in the country and will play a major role in further unearthing the kinds of musical gems that our country is so richly blessed with. For the Gauteng leg of the auditions, the SMS line opens on Wednesday 4 March 2015 and closes at midday on Monday 30 March 2015. Interested individuals over the age of 16 years must first decide if they are auditioning as a vocalist (soprano, alto, bass or tenor) or as a musician playing an instrument. Then they must SMS “AUDITION GAUTENG VOCAL” or “AUDITION GAUTENG INSTRUMENT” to 38008 to register – SMS charged at R10. They will then receive a reference number securing their registration. Auditions will take place at the end of March at the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS). Pre-registration is compulsory in order to audition. Meanwhile, MTN Joyous Celebration also launches the much anticipated Joyous 19 CD and DVD titled Back to the Cross from 3- 5 April at the Big Top Arena in Carnival City.

Local films showcased Duo claims rightful place in hip-hop Lebo Mosolodi
lebo@tametimes.co.za Kathorus based Extreme Film and Music production house officially screened two of their short films to the public at Kwa Ditselana Cultural Village in Katlehong. The short films that were screened on the day were Okwami Okwezandla and Inguqukho. According to the production house Managing Director Abongile Ntsatha, the objective of showing both films in the township was to showcase local talent to the public. “Okwami Okwezandla short film is about a young boy whose parents choose a career path for him. The rebellious youngster finally drops out in his final year at university to pursue a music career. The other film, Inguquko, is about a girl who fell pregnant and abandoned her tertiary studies. Both films were recorded in Kathorus and feature actors from Ekurhuleni and Alexandra,”
explained Ntsatha. The films were written by the talented Xolisa Mpafa and produced by Extreme Film and Music production house. Mpafa said it is high time people revived the culture of township cinema in order to build the film industry. He said he was concerned that nowadays people tend rather to purchase DVDs and watch them in the comfort of their homes. “There is a lot of acting talent in the township that needs to be nurtured in the right direction so that they can realise their dreams. Our production house provided a necessary platform for aspiring actors and film-makers. I am looking forward to the Inguquko short film being shown at the upcoming showcase Durban International Film Festival. Cinema fanatics should expect more from the Extreme Film and Music Production House,” said Mpafa. Entry to the screening was free of charge and it ran from 12pm until late in the evening.
Bongani “Voxyzie Bone” Dlamini and Simphiwe “The Brawl” Shipyana have claimed their rightful spot in hip-hop music with their latest offering of Streetwise Legend.

rappers MEC PROMISES TO Underground and spinners to shine FIGHT RURAL CRIME Lebo Mosolodi
lebo@tametimes.co.za
Growing up in a township like Soweto and Alexandra, one would never think that rural areas exist in Gauteng. This is partly due to the fact that we associate rural spaces with all other provinces except Gauteng. The reality is that one has to be knowledgeable about the spatial development of the area and what constitutes a rural area. Due to the special focus on urbanisation in our province, such areas are often not prioritised and yet they contribute substantially to the economy of the country. The same could not be said about the Gauteng government, which has identified rural safety and development as one of its key areas of focus. This is largely due to the fact that challenges such as infrastructure development which hampers the provision of services, farm killings, stock theft and labour issues faced by rural communities contribute to instability in the province. Thus, a comprehensive and holistic strategy must be formulated if the safety of these communities is to be guaranteed. South Africa is characterized by high levels of poverty and underdevelopment, especially in the rural areas. Statistics South Africa reported that in 2006, 43.74% of the population lived in rural areas, and these figures are likely to have increased in the past few years. In his State of the Nation address in May 2009, President Jacob Zuma stated that “comprehensive rural development linked to land and agrarian reform and food security” was priority three in the Medium Term Strategic Framework for 2009-2014. Farmers, farm workers and residents within and adjacent to rural communities are often soft targets by criminals. This is due to the remoteness of farms, high market value of properties, long distances between farms, villages and the police station as well as basic infrastructure, such as road networks, that all hamper service delivery and increase response time by the police. As a result of all this, the Department of Community Safety in conjunction with National Civilian Secretariat for Police and the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development convened a Rural Safety Summit recently. The summit was attended by Farm Owners, Farm Workers, Farm Tenants, Transvaal
Agricultural Union, Agri S.A, African Farmers Union of South Africa, Agri Gauteng, Farmers Workers Union, who respectively adopted an implementable programme of action (POA) against crime. A TASK TEAM WITH A CLEAR PROGRAMME OF ACTION WAS ESTABLISHED AND WILL DEAL WITH, AMONG OTHERS :
Establishment of rural safety unit per rural station Plot numbering linked with the cell number of the farm owner, so as to ensure safety on the farms and improve accessibility for policing Allocation of proper rural vehicles for rural policing Constant communication between SAPS Rural Safety Coordinator(s) and Rural Safety Forum Chairperson. Safety Forums to incorporate municipality as per the area’s needs Farmers must hire legal and documented workers and create profile cards to be verified at local stations Induction of both farmers and workers on labour law by the Department of Labour, to minimize abuse of workers Farmers working together across racial lines Government must build or improve on social services such as schools, clinics and recreational facilities in rural areas Education and awareness drive on the criminal justice system in rural areas. Education and awareness drive on AgriBEE, so as to empower workers
The task team will commence with the implementation of these recommendations within two months and will report back on the progress made in the next six months. Sizakele Nkosi- Malobane is the MEC for Community Safety in Gauteng

A group of Katlehong artists under the banner of Ellymark Communication is hosting an event called the Unrecognised Rap Attack at Kromvlei in a bid to give unrecognised artists a platform to showcase their talent. Speaking to the media, event organiser Simphiwe Shipyane said the first edition of the event would be held on April 4 and it would then become an annual occurrence. “Unrecognised rap artists to be featured in their line-up on the day include K1 Dime, Sir-Bigger, Hospital Case, Wolf Pack Clan and Jay Stash. Car fanatics stand a great chance of witnessing some of the township’s most reputable BMW-spinners that will showcase their driving skills. The car-spinner line-up includes Eric Maswaya, Skopas and the Magiya Brothers. Artists will be ferried from backstage to the front of the stage by the car-spinners who will also add a little bit of fun by showcasing their driving skills to the cheering crowd. Gifted rap artist Kwesta from Kathorus, and many more, will be guests of honour at the event,” said Shipyane. For more information about the event contact Simphiwe Shipyane on 079 756 5775.

Back To The Cross Easter launch
MTN Joyous Celebration, SA’s most celebrated Gospel ensemble, makes a massive comeback this Easter, as they pave the way for the momentous road to Joyous 20 – a significant milestone for the group which will be celebrated throughout the year. MTN Joyous Celebration is launching their 19th live DVD recording from 3 to 5 April 2015 at the Big Top Arena in Carnival City. This year’s inspirational theme, Back To The Cross, explains their focus for the year, which is all about looking back to where everything started: The Cross. This will be interpreted through the music as the group celebrates old hymns that fans know and love from years gone by, but this time they will have a new feel or “Joyous injection.” Joyous is not only revered in South Africa, but also on the continent and internationally. They have involved other countries too, not only by visiting them but also by singing in their languages as well. Joyous has involved numerous African languages in many of their projects just to make sure that everyone is included in the project. Joyous Celebration was founded 19 years ago by Lindelani Mkhize, Pastor. Jabu Hlongwane and Pastor Mthunzi Namba. They have established this vision together and are still working on it as it grows bigger and better every year. They gave birth not only to Joyous Celebration as a brand, but also to many Gospels stars who started with Joyous Celebration, like: Ntokozo Mbambo, William Sejake, Ndivhuwo Matumba, Margaret Motsage, Sharon Dee, Vicky Vilakazi, Mahalia Buchanan and Thabo Mdluli, to name a few.

However, there are still some of our athletes that have proceeded to the national championship. We are optimistic that they will make us proud and raise our flag high,” said Nkosi.
Ekurhuleni South District Sports Coordinator Yvonne Schalk said they have entered 120 athletes in the provincial championship in all events, but only about 30 proceeded to the finals. “We obtained position three behind Ekurhuleni North and Tshwane South. We got a total of five gold medals and other medals. Last year we got a total of 15 medals,” concluded Schalk.
