Celebrating 20 years of HIV-positive living Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za An extraordinary woman who has survived many trials and tribulations, Mpho Mazamane, recently celebrated her 40th birthday and 20 years of HIV-positive living at her home in Paradise Park in Vosloorus. Mpho has withstood many storms. At the age of 15 she was gang-raped by nine boys, but tested afterwards for HIV and found to be HIV-negative. She survived the rape and went through counselling. When she was 18 years old, she married an abusive man whom she later divorced. At the age of 20 she was married again - to a man who infected her with HIV, although it was only a week before his death that her late second husband
confessed to her that he had been HIV-positive when he married her. “When I was pregnant with his baby and went for a check-up, it was confirmed that I was HIVpositive. I gave birth to an HIV-negative baby boy, but I was in a state of denial and was rejected by my family. So I ended up staying on the street. I attempted to commit suicide several times and went to live at Nkosi’s Haven in Berea - a place for HIV-positive and destitute mothers,” said Mpho. Through counselling, Mpho told tame TIMES, she managed to pull herself together and started motivating people with HIV. In 1998 she was given the Best HIV and
AIDS Educator of the Year award. “I marketed myself as an HIV motivational speaker and companies contracted me. In 2003 I met my present husband who is HIV-negative, I told him about my status and we have been living happily together for 12 years. We have two children who are HIV-negative. We practise safe sex and conducted artificial insemination when we wanted children.” Mpho added that she is not on antiretroviral drugs. “I believe that talking about HIV and breaking the silence heals. I look after myself. HIV alone does not kill but it invites other opportunistic infections to kill.” In 2007 she started a centre

called Onkabetse Care Centre in Vosloorus that is taking care of 105 children who are rape victims, HIV-positive or from child-headed families. Her family, relatives and friends who attended the party described her as a person with a bubbly personality and an inspiration to other women. Her husband Tony Mazamane said he married her knowing her status and was charmed by her honesty. He encouraged other men to get tested and said that a positive-and-negative couple can live together happily.

FIRST NEW NATALSPRUIT BABY: Nonzwakazi Msindo holds her newborn baby boy. The newly built Natalspruit Hospital in Vosloorus, which is due to be officially opened today, welcomed its first baby on 20 August. The bouncing baby boy was delivered at 08:50 at the new facility, weighing 3, 95kg. Mother Nonzwakazi Msindo, who is from Palm Ridge, was relocated with other patients from the old hospital to the new facility in Vosloorus. Holding her bundle of joy Msindo said, “When MEC Mahlangu said this is a stateof-the art hospital she was not exaggerating. This is a beautiful facility and I am honoured that my son, Mohamed, is the first baby to be born in the hospital. This is an historic moment for both of us. The relocation was smooth with no hassles. I would like to thank all the staff members who helped me with the delivery of my baby.”

Why demolish the old Natalspruit Hospital?
Tshidi Hlahane, a concerned resident, writes: The MEC and other leaders should really reconsider demolishing the Natalspruit Hospital based on the following: 1. Which stakeholders were consulted about the demolition and on what basis did they agree to the decision to demolish the Natalspruit Hospital? 2. Is there any form of transport arrangement for the unemployed families of sick patients so that they can travel to see them at the new hospital? 3. There are many home-based care organisations that operate under unhealthy, if not poor, environments. Could the old building not be used by such organisations?
Acting hospital Chief Executive Officer Dr Patricia Africa commended the maternity ward staff who delivered the baby. “While we are still settling in, our staff are seeing patients - this birth bears testimony to that. I take my hat off to the maternity ward personnel for the swift delivery of this baby. This is the beginning of a new era in terms of service delivery for the community,” said Dr Africa. “As you would know, moving house is quite a complex process, so we plead with the community to bear with us until we have settled down, but we will not turn any patients away,” she added. The newly built 821-bed regional hospital offers services such as: Family Medicine, 24 Hour Casualty, Speech and Language Therapy, Ophthalmology, Radiography and Eye Nose and Throat Clinic.

Young drivers are negligent Long walk to women’s freedom Lebo Mosolodi
lebos@tametimes.co.za Nicky Motloung of Vosloorus has spent more than four decades behind the wheel, and is not impressed with the wild attitude often demonstrated by young drivers on the roads. South Africa’s alarming road carnage does not surprise this veteran driver, who attributes it to a general lack of respect on the road, and the disregard of his fellow motorists for road regulations. What car are you driving? I am driving a white Toyota Condor and it is my favourite car. Why do you like it? Condor is a Toyota brand - this means its fuel consumption is always economical compared to other brands available on the market. Is this your first car? This is my eighth car. I once owned a VW 1800 Sports, VW Fox, Toyota Corolla 1.6, VW Sports Two Doors, Toyota Twin Cam, Mercedes Benz 1984 2030 E, Toyota Condor and Mercedes Benz 240 E. What car have you been driving lately? I am driving my favourite Toyota Condor and Mercedes Benz 240 E. When did you start driving? It was in the 1970s. I have been driving ever since and obtained my driver’s license in 1980. Have you ever been involved in a car accident? I have never been involved in a car accident because I am a cautious driver. What is the secret of driving for such a lengthy period without being involved in
an accident? Drivers who were taught during apartheid respected authority more than today’s drivers. How bad were road conditions during apartheid in the township compared to conditions today? It is ironic, because today’s road conditions are far improved compared to apartheid roads, but there are a lot of road accidents. During apartheid, people observed the rule of law. Why do we have huge road carnage today? There is a greater volume of cars often found on our roads compared to the past, especially during peak hours.
Women inspired to dream big As part of celebrating Women’s Month, various stakeholders gathered at Vosloorus Civic Centre during the month of August to motivate and inspire women in economic and social matters. Sergeant Sibongile Mambane of Vosloorus Police Station Social Crime Prevention said, “We invited women from different organisations to celebrate Women’s Day by motivating each other to start small businesses. We are encouraging women to come forward and report domestic violence, not to hide their abuse. We are also urging them to join support groups and other organisations for support and motivation.” Gertrude Tumelo Khara, a member of Kathorus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), explained to women how her organisation assists small businesses in the area. She said they mentor them, conduct workshops for them and assist with business plans. Khara motivated women to be innovative, creative and to bring fresh ideas for starting small businesses. Local businesswoman Nhlanhla “Ntsakantsaka” Zitha shared her business history, inspiring other women to start small in business. A former street vendor who used to sell vegetables and contribute to stokvels, she now runs a successful pub and restaurant in Vosloorus. “Women should learn to be independent and start small businesses to sustain themselves. Starting a business does not take large sums of money
BUSINESSWOMAN: Nhlanhla “Ntsakantsaka” wants to inspire other women to start small in business. and big loans - l started small. The secret to running a successful business is customer care, cleanliness and a good approach.” The event was organised by Vosloorus Police Station Social Crime Prevention and Victim Empowerment Centre, in conjunction with Kathorus Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
As the women of South Africa celebrate 20 years of democracy, Mandisa Sithole from Leondale Gardens still feels that there is nothing for women to celebrate as they continue to be physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially abused by men in relationships. “Abuse is still a challenge that women are faced with daily. In most cases men don’t appreciate the role women play in relationships. There are men who are bloodsuckers, depending on women financially and also physically beating them for their hard-earned money,” said Sithole. She added that it is very common for men to cohabit (vat-en-sit) with women for many years without paying lobola. Sithole said marriage is every woman’s dream and they are scared to ask men when they will marry them in case they are seen as being too forward. She said cohabitation also affects women spiritually and emotionally. “Women should learn not to settle for less if the relationship has not progressed, they should leave and move on. They should not accept cohabitation and remain silent about abuse because they fear the end of the relationship. There are women who are also scared to leave abusive relationships because of their children. Women should learn that their happiness should come first; and that, if one door closes, another one will
open. They will find someone who will appreciate them and take care of them,” said Sithole. She also appealed to men to treat women with the love and dignity that they deserve. “A woman is a human being who truly loves deeply and has a fragile heart. Women are like gold - they are an inspiration; advisers and men cannot Mandisa Sithole progress without a women’s support,” she said. Sithole added, “Mothers play a crucial role in our lives and girls should respect them. They stood with us through good and bad times. As young ladies we will also grow up and experience the challenges that they (mothers) once faced if we don’t change the social ills affecting them,” concluded Sithole. Our Vosloorus diva is a student at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus Campus and currently studying Engineering Related Design Level 4. She enjoys cooking, singing and socialising with friends.

charity@tametimes.co.za A 32-year-old male suspect is wanted by Vosloorus Police Detectives for fraud. According to Detective Sergeant Stanley Hlongwane, after seeing an advertisement for a Toyota Venture for R30 000 on the OLX website, the complainant called the suspect, who was selling the car. The suspect demanded a deposit of R10 000 to hold the car and gave him bank account details. The complainant deposited the money as asked. The two were then supposed to meet after two days once bank clearance had taken place, so that the complainant could collect the car, but the suspect did not arrive for the appointment. The complainant is from Vosloorus and the suspect, from Sunset View in Pretoria. The complainant later realised that the seller had defrauded him and opened a case at Vosloorus Police Station on 28 December 2013. “We managed to speak to the suspect via his cellphone and he said that he was prepared to pay the money back. He is still at large even now,” said Detective Sergeant Hlongwane. He added that a warrant of arrest was issued to the suspect on 21 February this year. Detective Hlongwane warned the public to be vigilant when responding to advertisements and not to pay large sums of money before receiving the

charity@tametimes.co.za
FOR BETTER DAYS: Nthabiseng Nkhosi, Makhososama Cebekhulu (Grade 6 learner from Thabang Primary in Vosloorus) and Pailsa Seripe from Kellogg’s had breakfast together before building a living garden wall for the community this Women’s Month. In celebration of Women’s Month, staff members from the Kellogg’s factory plant visited Thabang Primary School in Vosloorus to have breakfast with the learners and their mothers. They also worked together with parents and learners in building a living garden wall for the community, to encourage sustainable
healthy living. The Women’s Month activity was aimed at empowering women, learners and their community as part of the Kellogg’s Breakfast for Better Days Initiative, which has committed to serving over five million breakfasts to thousands of children.
Spiritual Corner
As we celebrate women, “the flowers of the earth,” in their month of August, there are many who are still being oppressed. This month we encourage women to be pure of heart and to fear the Almighty. The Bible says, in Proverbs 31 verse 30 and 31, in the New King James version: “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,. But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands.” We motivate women to be strong and learn to pray for their families all the time, and they shall find favour from God for their requests. 1 Peter 3 verses 6-7 in the Holy Bible says: “For this is the way of the holy women of the past who put their hope in God Who used to make them beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him master, you are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.” By Evangelist Khotlhello L Tsoku

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.
BEAUTIFUL: 25 ladies from Ekurhuleni attended the Face of East Rand workshop.

AFTER PLAYING LOTTO FOR 5-YEARS WITH OUT WINNING “I USED AKEEM’S SUPER MAGIC RING & WALLET AND I WON SAME DAY”
Mrs KK Lebohang, 48; (Vosloorus)
After my husband lost his job, we decided to start up a small business but it collapsed too. We struggled to pay the car & house bond, Finally the bank repossessed them. Without any income my only option was to play lotto & casino in order to pay bills. But for 5-years I could not win a single game, so we were supported by friends & family to pay bills. I tried seeking help from different prophets but they only kept on asking me for more & more money without any single results. Luckily I met an old friend of mine in town, who told me how Akeem had helped her win lotto with a super magic ring & also was using Akeem’s Happy moments; Mrs KK Lebohang shows off her two winning lotto tickets at the money wallet to get money daily without even working for it. I decided to go & have my last chance as I was in a financial crisis. I booked an appointment & paid grocery store. For 5-years she had tried & failed to win till she met Akeem R100 consultation fee.
And without me saying a single word to him, Akeem told me all my problems that I had. I was shocked to hear my exact problems that had brought me to him.
He then performed a special prayer to cleanse me, thereafter gave me the FREE super magic ring & money wallet for lotto & casino games. It was on the weekend when I played lotto & casino; I was so surprised I had the winning numbers after 5-years of trying & failing to win. If you have tried everything & nothing seems to work for you, don’t lose hope! Visit Super magic Ring; Magic Money Wallet; (receive money daily) Akeem & experience a new beginning in life. You won’t be disappointed; (for lotto & casino) Without him my life could have been so miserable.

lebo.kathorus@tametimes.co.za A group of 10 teenage boys from Kathorus who believe that their disadvantaged background should not determine their altitude in life are rolling up their sleeves and showcasing their tumbling talent despite a lack of sporting facilities. It is because of their strong self-belief and positive attitudes that they established a gymnastics club three years ago. The members of the group include: Vusi Mazibuko, Mduduzi Khanye, Tshepo Matshoyi, Thulani Nkosi, Musa Mkhonza, Katlego Mogotsi, Mogomutsi Mokoena, Sihle Mazibuko, Mpho Mokoena and Senzo Moloi. “We did not want to wait for sponsorship to be dropped on our doorsteps before we could embark on our journey to stardom. We do not have training equipment and sporting kit, but that is not a hindrance. We are practising tumbling after school and during lunch hour in our school. I am impressed by the level of commitment demonstrated by my colleagues since starting the team three years ago. The dramatic increase in their confidence levels indicates that we are moving in the right direction,” said Mazibuko. Their mission is to represent South Africa in continental and international gymnastic competitions in the near future. However, for them to realise their dream, they need sponsorship, sporting kit and a dedicated gymnastic instructor to help them on their road to stardom. “South Africa’s youth is blessed with talent.

Chiefs and Pirates set to clash The Soweto Derby Dream Cup final MTN Top Eight between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates is set to take place on 20 September at a venue that has yet to be confirmed. Pirates and Chiefs showed little respect for other teams when they walloped their opponents with an avalanche of goals to book their place in the final. The Sea Robbers, as Pirates are affectionately called by their supporters, reached this point after walloping BidWits 3-1 at Orlando Stadium. Pirates striker Kermit Erasmus scored the opening goal, which was cancelled by Wits forward Getaneh Kebedi. Lehlohonolo Majoro came from the bench and scored two spectacular goals to make it 3-1 in favour of Pirates. Then the Bucs marched to the final on a 5-1 aggregate score. Amakhosi continued their winning streak at the expense of Platinum Stars Football Club. George Maluleka scored a free kick goal spectacular to open a goal feast for the Naturena based team. Reneilwe “Yeye” Letsholonyane tapped in a second goal after getting an immaculate cross from his teammate Tsepo Masilela. Katleho “Killer” Mphela put the final nail in the Dikwena’s coffin when he scored the third goal towards the end of the second half. The final score was 3-0 and the aggregate score was 5-0 in favour of Kaizer Chiefs. The Premier Soccer League has advised soccer fanatics to buy their tickets in good time, as both teams command huge fan bases. This is the first Cup Final in the new season between South Africa’s two main football powerhouses.
