New mall brings convenience shopping ekasie Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za
There was a buzz of excitement, overcrowding and somewhat of a stampede last week Friday at the official opening of the Vosloorus Crossing Mall at the corner of Brickfield and Bierman Streets opposite Chris Hani Mall. People from Kathorus and the neighbouring suburbs came in numbers to do their shopping at the mall, as the prices were marked down by certain percentages for the opening specials. The opening also coincided with the end of the month, when most had been paid. There was great entertainment as well, from local and national artists who drew the crowd’s attention, namely Kwetsa and Busie.
Maganta Mofokeng from Katlehong said the mall has created employment opportunities and residents are happy that a Nike factory shop is available at the new mall. “The clothes are cheap. We used to travel to East Rand Mall and Woodmead to buy at a Nike factory. It was costing us money and time; sometimes we would travel there only to find out that the products we wanted were out of stock. We are happy that the shop is now accessible.” Nosipho Tholimpa, another resident said, “We enjoy shopping at the new mall. All the items are on special; howevers it is overcrowded.” Xolani Mkutswana, from Orange Farm said he came all the way to Vosloorus because of the variety of shops in the new mall.
Most residents were excited, but at the same time concerned about the traffic jam at the corner of Brickfield and Bierman Streets. Some suggested that an open road should have been constructed before the opening of the mall, as there is too much traffic congestion. They also called for more visibility of traffic police to control vehicles to avoid congestion that could lead to accidents. The following stores are part of the new mall: Nike factory store, ABSA Bank , Rage, Matrix Computers, SGodi demo TV appliances, The Fish & Chip Co, Capitec Bank , Pep Cell, Spar, Anita’s Cosmetics, Net 1 Financial services, OBC, Fair Price, Builders, Best Buy Beds and Cash Crusaders.

Chris Hani Crossing Mall to give R10 000 to charity
We welcome you to the second-last tame TIMES Kathorus edition of 2014. This is a Christmas bonus for our readers, as it follows only a week after the previous edition and precedes the last paper of the year by only a week. This does not mean that your favourite newspaper is going weekly, but just that we are giving the community of Kathorus space in our paper for coverage of all their festive season events. The newspaper will remain a fortnightly publication. This is a good opportunity that you must not miss. If you are having end-of-year functions, closing parties, school awards or any events that you would like the community to read about, don’t hesitate to call our editorial team. A friendly reminder, though: please notify us in advance, at the latest, a day before the event. Even if you call us on the
day of the event we will attend it, but we don’t encourage that because sometimes our diary is fully booked, with a lot of events to cover. Please note that all your events are important to us - we will make sure to prioritize them whenever we can. This week we are commemorating a year since our fallen hero the former president Nelson Mandela passed away. We have to embrace his legacy and make sure that we continue from where he has left us. We are also celebrating International World Aids Day and we seen many organizations taking it upon themselves to make people aware and prevent the spread of the disease. This year’s theme is zero stigma and zero discrimination. We have to refrain from treating people living with this virus as inhuman but rather show them love and support so that they can live longer. People must also be faithful to their partners and practise safe sex. In an effort to reduce the spread of HIV / Aids, South African Breweries has distributed a total of 19, 3 million condoms to more than 11 800 local taverns in the country. Lastly, during the festive season crime is rife, so we have to make sure that we are safe at all times and remember not to walk around with large sums of money. As for me, I am tired - it has been a long day, so let me go and rest. Enjoy reading your favourite free kasie paper. Cheers for now,

Mayor thrilled with clean audit The Executive mayor of Ekurhuleni Cllr Mondli Gungubele has expressed great excitement at the news that the city and five of its entities achieved clean audits in the 2013/14 financial year. Speaking at a handover function hosted by the Office of the Auditor-General (AG) in Pretoria this week, an elated Gungubele thanked the political and administrative leaderships of the city for ensuring that ‘they conducted government business in line with the requirements of the
Municipal Finance Management Act.” “This is a mission of fulfillment. Let me express gratitude to the leadership of the Gauteng Province as well, for having demonstrated true commitment to the audit imperatives of the Office of the Auditor-General. Gratitude must also go to my predecessors for their role in ensuring that a solid foundation was laid towards the clean audit,” he continued. Turning to the AG’s office, the Mayor thanked the team for “their robust, frank and truthful attitude” in assisting the city in achieving its goal. “When the late Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Mr Sicelo Shiceka launched Operation Clean Audit 2014, we knew that if we applied our minds as a team the mission was possible. Prior to this great achievement we DELIGHTED: Cllr Mondli Gungubele, Ekurhuleni Mayor is thrilled with the city’s clean audit.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: Anna Zondo, Managing Director of Focus Community Development Centre with Miss Chris Hani Crossing Mall, Jerry Ramohapi; Public Relations Officer of Vosloorus CPF and Lebohanga Matlala, Marketing Manager of Chris Hani Crossing Mall at the launch of Shop to Give This Christmas initiative.
Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Chris Hani Crossing Mall launched the Shop to Give This Christmas initiative recently, which will see one out of five charities walk away with R10 000 prize money. The initiative is targeting charity organizations and only five qualified after being evaluated through site visits. These include: Khaya Family Centre in Katlehong, Gugulethu Parents for the orphans in Vosloorus, Usizo Support Organisation in Katlehong, Vosloorus Community Forum ( CPF) and Focus Community Development Centre. For any one of the charities to win, shoppers who purchase any goods for any amount at any of the stores at Chris Hani Crossing Mall must drop their till slips in one of the five in-centre charity boxes. The boxes are placed at entrance 2 opposite the entrance to Edgars. By dropping their till slip in the box of their chosen charity, they nominate the organization. The charity organization with the most till slips will win. Chris Hani Crossing Mall is also selling shopping bags have had four unqualified audits in a row and this gave us hope that our ultimate objective would be achieved sooner than we thought,” he said after receiving the city’s award. “Ekurhuleni is only 14 years old. It was established after the amalgamation of 11 erstwhile administrations which used to constitute the former East Rand. One of the most difficult attributes of the joint venture was the streamlining process of the various administration systems while ensuring that there was no disruption to service delivery.” “Indeed that was achieved, albeit with some difficulties due to the different systems that each of the towns employed before the merger. Fourteen years later, all the hard work has finally been rewarded,” Gungubele pointed out. “What this clean audit also
for R10 each as part of the initiative. The last day for the dropping of till slips is 22 December; on the 24th the prize money will be handed over to the winner. Lebohanga Matlala, Marketing Manager of Chris Hani Crossing Mall said, “We are a community based mall and everything that happens in the area also affects us. This initiative is part of giving back to the community, so we encourage people to participate in this initiative.” Anna Zondo, Managing Director of Focus Community Development Centre said, “I am excited about the initiative. We are two years old, but we have managed to touch more than a thousand lives. The money for the competition will help us in our campaigns and office resources.” Meanwhile, Jerry Ramohapi, Public Relations Officer of Vosloorus CPF said, “We are appealing for shoppers to drop their slips in our box. We are working with the patrollers; the money will help to buy those uniforms and food. They cannot fight crime with empty stomachs and they are dedicating their lives for the security and safety of the community.”
means to us as a city is that we have put in place good systems and processes for handling public funds.” The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality stole the show this week when it scooped a total of six clean audits. Clean audits went to the Metro and five of the city’s entities: Brakpan Bus Company, Ekurhuleni Development Company, Lethabong Housing Institute, the Greater Germiston Phase Two Housing Company and Pharo Park Housing Company. The only entity that was unable to achieve a clean audit in the city was the East Rand Water Company which was described by the Office of the AG as a “low-hanging fruit” - a clear demonstration that a clean audit for them is also imminent.

AIMING FOR ZERO: Nthabiseng Jikeka, the founder of Nozipho Support Group, pins a red ribbon on Mehlo Phakathi, facility manager at Vosloorus Poly Clinic on World AIDS Day. The nation continues to fight the battle against HIV/Aids. On Monday, World Aids Day was celebrated with a variety of activities conducted to raise awareness about preventing the spread of this epidemic. This year’s theme is “zero stigma” and zero discrimination,” as well as “zero new HIV infections and zero Aids-related deaths”. Many activities took place in Kathorus to honour this day and make people aware that HIV can be prevented.
The Nozipho Support Group’s outreach was one of them. Members of the organization spent the day handing out ribbons and conducting talks at Vosloorus Poly Clinic. Speaking to tame TIMES, founder of the organization Nthabiseng Jikeka said, “We are informing people that there is life after HIV/ Aids. We are encouraging them to get tested and know their status; and, if it happens that they test positive, they should change their lifestyle. They should eat healthy, exercise regularly and refrain from drinking.”

Youth must be responsible Road carnage during festive season CAN be Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za The festive season is approaching and many parties and other functions will be taking place - this is the time of year when many youth are involved in negative activities that could ruin their lives. So, 22-year-old Zanele Ndlovu from Vosloorus extension 28 phase 5 is warning the youth to act responsibly during this time. She said at year-end everyone wants to enjoy themselves and show off what they have achieved throughout the year. People, said Ndlovu, are eagerly waiting to receive presents and to buy expensive clothes and electrical gadgets. “The festive season is too demanding and young women should stay away from sugardaddies. They are running to them because they can afford to buy them expensive gifts and take them to luxurious places of enjoyment. The Ben 10s should also stay away from sugar mommies, as such relationships are short-lived and end badly every time,” said Ndlovu. She said youths want to draw attention to themselves and to join a certain socioeconomic level that they do not belong to. Ndlovu said this desire can lead them into murky waters, as some end up doing criminal activities and engaging in prostitution just to obtain certain material things. Ndlovu’s advice to youth is: “We have to get educated and seek employment and then we will have our own money. Love yourself and
accept who you are - if you don’t, no one will love you,” said Ndlovu. The 22-year-old is doing an electrical engineering course at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus campus and dreams of becoming a qualified artisan because she enjoys working with her hands. Ndlovu’s hobbies are singing and watching television.
NOT TOO THIRSTY: Brian Tshiendananisi’s car is economical on fuel.
avoided
Lebo Mosolodi lebo@tametimes.co.za Brian Tshiendananisi has mixed feelings about the Polo Vivo vehicle he uses daily to conduct his duties as a Katlehong based police officer. He cited that the car is not well balanced on the road; nevertheless, its fuel consumption is economical compared to most other cars. What car are you driving? I am driving a Polo Vivo sedan. When did you start driving it? I started driving the car last year and it has been forever good to me.
RESPONSIBLE: Zanele Ndlovu is proud of herself.

As the festive season is now upon us, what advice would you like to give to motorists? Motorists should refrain from drinking and driving. They should avoid speeding and take their cars for services at reputable mechanics. Most schools will soon be closed for the holidays, so motorists should be cautious on the road because children will be playing on the streets. What is the first thing you do when travelling a long distance? I make sure that I inspect my car before
embarking on my journey. If there is a minor problem, I fix it on the spot to avoid further damage. How much petrol you spend on this car per week? Firstly, this car is always on the road 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It is amazing, because I only spend R600 petrol on the car every week. We use the car for police duties. Have you travelled any long distance in this car? I have travelled to Limpopo and back without a challenge. For that trip, I only spent R600 on petrol to go to Limpopo and come back to Katlehong.
Ministry Academy TRC to restore hope students graduate in Buhle Park By Raymond Mokwena
MEN OF GOD: The new graduates (holding their certificates) are flanked by the other pastors. By Raymond Mokwena The Ministry Training Academy situated in Vosloorus Extension 9 Marimba Gardens recently held a graduation ceremony. Three students - Piet Magudulala, Joel Legodi and Sam Kunene - were awarded ministerial diplomas and certificates at The Glory of God Lutheran Bapedi Church of South Africa. Bishop Maine, founder and lecturer of the Ministry Training Academy, invited as guest
speakers pastors from various churches in Ekurhuleni who previously graduated with him from another ministry training institution to share their experiences and motivate the graduates. The graduates were told that they are God’s chosen ones and it is their duty to spread the Word of God to the world. One of the graduates, Joel Legodi, said, “I have learnt a lot through his training course in Ministry Training Academy and have plans to work under God’s wing in spreading what I have learnt.”
The Restoration of Hope Committee (TRC) is tackling issues affecting young people as a way of restoring hope and unity among Buhle Park residents by conducting a parental workshop. The workshop was held in a classroom at Buhle Park Primary School recently. The issues discussed included drugs and alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, respect, security and inspirational role models. The purpose of this parental workshop was for both young and old people to present solutions on how to tackle these
issues. Parents were also advised to take responsibility for transforming their children’s lives by teaching them respect and good communication skills. Xolani Shongwe, the TRC organization manager, encouraged parents to adapt to modern times instead of being stuck in the past - so that they can understand life challenges that young people are now faced with in the 21st century. The TRC is appealing for sponsorship in terms of equipment such as: printers, computers and stationery. Anyone who is willing to help can contact Xolani on 073 657 9764 or Linda on 084 910 4438.

Enough with domestic violence
Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za As the nation celebrates the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children campaign, domestic violence is on the rise - but people are still not aware of the signs and consequences of domestic violence. Domestic violence is often thought to include only physical violence; but the acts, behaviour and consequences of domestic violence vary in nature and frequency. Domestic violence can take place in any domestic relationship, not necessarily between those who are married to each other – parents, guardians or other family members can all be involved. There are also different types of abuse, namely: sexual, physical, economic and emotional abuse. Captain Piet Rossouw, spokesperson for Vosloorus Police Station said, “If a person is abused they have the right to apply for a protection order at the nearest police station or magistrate’s court; or to lay a criminal charge at the police station and apply for a protection order. It is the intention of the SAPS to treat victims of domestic violence with sensitivity and care. We are mandated to treat victims with respect and protect their dignity; listen to what victims have to say; not insult or blame or suggest that it was their own fault that they were abused; assist them with empathy and

They will take a victim’s statement in privacy and not in the presence of the abuser or the public; and decide on the basis of the statement whether to arrest the abuser and take his/her firearm, as well as determine the victim’s needs and how to assist him/her. They will also serve a protection order on the person against whom it was made, as directed by the court; and note the complaint in the Incident Register at the station as further proof that the matter has been reported. The police officers also help the victim to find access to medical attention, shelter and victim counselling

Public drinking a serious offence Charity Moyo
charity@tametimes.co.za Police are concerned at the growing perception that public drinking is legal in the townships. Constable Patrick Mashiane, spokesperson for Thokoza Police Station, would like to warn the community that public drinking is illegal and is, in fact, a criminal act. “When a person is caught drunk in public or drinking in public, they will be arrested. During this festive season people have a tendency of drinking in public hence we are warning you to stop it or else you will face the law,” said Mashiane. He added that illegal shebeens will be shut down and that the police will continue with their daily operations to make sure that the community is kept safe during the festive season.

As the festive season approaches, everyone is planning a delicious dish to prepare for different functions such as Christmas parties and family gettogethers. This fortnight in our cooking column we are sharing with you Crissy’s delicious and extremely appetising Christmas cake.
Crissy’s Christmas Cake It’s-goodto-know tips
You should make this cake at least three weeks ahead of Christmas, because if eaten too early it’s crumbly. If you don’t want to use alcohol, use the same quantity of orange juice. Instead of covering it with icing, you could brush warmed apricot jam over the cake, then arrange glace fruits and nuts on top.
Method
Ingredients - 175g (6 oz) raisins - 350g (12 oz) glace cherries, rinsed, thoroughly dried and quartered - 500g (1lb 2oz) currants - 350g (12oz) sultanas - 150ml (¼ pint) sherry, plus extra for feeding - Finely grated zest of 2 oranges - 250g (9oz) butter, softened - 250g (9oz) light muscovado sugar - 4 eggs - 1 tablespoon black treacle - 75g (3oz) blanched almonds, chopped - 75g (3oz) self-raising flour - 175g (6oz) plain flour - 1½ teaspoon mixed spice
To finish and decorate Crissy’s Christmas cake: About 3 tablespoon apricot jam, sieved and warmed icing sugar, 675g shop-bought almond paste and a packet of royal icing mix to cover 23cm/9in cake
Put all the dried fruit in a container, pour over the sherry and stir in the orange zest. Cover with a lid, and leave to soak for 3 days, stirring daily. Grease and line a 23cm (9in) deep round tin with a double layer of greased greaseproof paper. Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Gas Mark 1. Measure the butter, sugar, eggs, treacle and almonds into a very large bowl and beat well. Add the flours and mixed spice and mix thoroughly until blended. Stir in the soaked fruit. Spoon into the prepared cake tin and level the surface. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 4-4½ hours or until the cake feels firm to the touch and is a rich golden brown. Check after 2 hours, and, if the cake is a perfect colour, cover with foil. A skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. When cool, pierce the cake at intervals with a fine skewer and feed with a little extra sherry. Wrap the completely cold cake in a double layer of greaseproof paper and again in foil and store in a cool place for up to 3 months, feeding at intervals with more sherry. (Don’t remove the lining paper when storing as this
helps to keep the cake moist.) Decorate with almond paste and royal icing.
To prepare the Christmas cake ahead: Prepare the fruit and soak in sherry 3 days ahead - this is essential to plump up and flavour the fruit. Make the cake and wrap as in stage 4. Store in a cool place for up to 3 months, following stage 4. You could also freeze the cake before decorating, for up to 3 months; defrost at room temperature.
This recipe was contributed by Crissy. Enrol now to empower yourself for 2015 and get a free course. Crissy has many courses that can help the community create their own employment. They are currently offering two 4-day Christmas baking and cooking courses.

How to register lobola custom marriages The end of the year comes with numerous challenges and some positives. There are some employees who still qualify for a 13th cheque or what is often called a bonus. Although many have other plans for their fortunes, some have decided to use their bonuses for lobola. The parties wishing to register the union have various options available to them. Firstly, either party, even the woman, can take the lobola letter to the Department of Home Affairs to register a customary marriage. This has to be done within three months of the date of the lobola negotiations. Secondly, parties can request the soonest available date and then present themselves to the marriage officer at the Department of Home Affairs and conclude a civil marriage, since South Africa recognizes civil unions as well. Thirdly, parties can solemnize their marriage through the church. It is in the interests of both parties to register their union in one form or another. There are many instances in which women have been dealt a raw deal just because they did not have a document to prove their marriage, especially when the lobola custom had been concluded but not registered and their husbands either died or left them. Therefore, women should always be assertive and take it upon themselves to ensure that they protect their interests at all times. This does not necessarily mean they love their partners less – it just means that they save each other a great deal of trouble and heart-ache in the long run. Should you need further advice on these issues or any other legal matter; you can contact Smangele Zwane at Kathorus Legal Advice and Referral Clinic (KLARC). It is a non-profit organization which offers free legal advice to community members. The organization is situated at Sassa building (Poly Clinic Street) in Vosloorus. Consultations are on an appointment basis. To book for an appointment, please call 0827712190 during office hours.
