The R84-billion “Modderfontein New City,” driven by the Hong Kong listed Shanghai Zendai Group, will satisfy the demand for both accessible information technology and costeffective integrated public transport systems. This will see Modderfontein become a centre with population densities similar to some of the world’s major urban centres. According to Anthony Diepenbroek, CEO of Zendai Development South Africa, “The South African city of tomorrow will be driven by the twin needs of access to information technology and viable integrated public transport systems. Both of these factors are aligned to prevailing development principles which demand that population densities maximise economic delivery of services - the higher the population density, the less the cost of delivering what are the cornerstone requirements of any major new urban development.”

“South African lifestyles are changing. Many households are facing challenges associated with urban sprawl. People wishing to own homes are finding that to afford a suitable home they are forced to live outside urban centres. The penalty for this is that numerous families are allocating an estimated 40% of their monthly income to transport. In some cases, this challenge restricts the dream of home ownership for many families.” Many South Africans consider the prospect of high-density living extreme, but this is because no city has previously been purposefully designed with this in mind. Living closer to work means that a larger part of monthly funds that would have been spent on transport can be saved and these savings re-purposed for housing and household funds. If this is done in an area with convenient access to recreational activities, this becomes an attractive place to live and work. Africa is growing rapidly. It is estimated
that the population will double by 2050. The largest contributor to this is the vastly increasing middle class. In South Africa alone the middle class boasts 8.3 million people. This growth in the middle class is creating the demands that a new integrated response to construction will satisfy. “When these factors are taken into account, the advantages of a sustainable (properly planned and developed) ‘smart city’ at scale come into their own,” said Diepenbroek. “With ‘Modderfontein New City’ becoming home to an estimated 100 000 people when it is completed and offering functional development zones which complement urban living (from a bustling CBD to an international conference
and exhibition centre) catering for work, life and play with the most extensive access to urban open space in Gauteng the stage is being set for the creation of a city that will rank with the best in the world.” “Considered development like ‘Modderfontein New City’ is where the future lies.”
Sasonah receives generous donation On Tuesday 9 September, real estate group Harcourts Full Circle donated R10 000 to Sasonah Lodge Care Centre in Germiston. Sasonah Lodge Care Centre accommodates patients with Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease or any other form of dementia. They have recently also opened a cancer care unit for terminally ill cancer patients. According to Simon Smith, CEO of Harcourts Full Circle, the Harcourts Foundation was launched on the back of an overwhelming response from the Harcourts franchisees wanting to make a difference in their local communities. “By assisting Sasonah Lodge Care Centre, which does so much for so many, with so little, we are upholding the Harcourts Foundation’s commitment to providing support to help, grow and enrich our communities,” Smith said. With the donation, Sasonah Lodge Care Centre will be making upgrades to the property in Germiston. “We don’t receive a subsidy from the government and sometimes we also don’t receive payments for patients, so donations like this mean a lot to us,” said Colleen Nunn, Owner and Nursing Sister at Sasonah Lodge Care Centre.

A cut above the rest Arion Bezuidenhout professional hair stylist at DNA salon recently came second in the Men’s Cut division of the Employer’s Organisation for the Hairdressing 2014 Hair Championships. The Championships were held on 1 September in an open arena at Gallagher where top stylists competed for the prize. They had 35 minutes to create a short, fashionable hairstyle before the judges started scrutinising their work. Bezuidenhout came fourth in the ladies styling division. “We were judged not only on creating a trendsetting, fashionable hairstyle, but also on the various technical aspects of a good haircut,” said Bezuidenhout. “Even colouring, cutting and styling are a must to satisfy the judges. The preparation for the Championship was quite extensive. Hours were spent on conceptualising to be able to create the perfect style. Then a model had to be found who had both the perfect face and was willing to be styled. “It is actually quite a process to do this,” explained Bezuidenhout with a smile. “Not everyone is willing to have such haute couture styling done on them.” Finally, the model’s hair has to be coloured and prepared for the final cut. All this was done in just two weeks. “It was quite hectic in the salon. Between this and preparing a portfolio for the SA Men’s Hair Championships, I was very busy.” Bezuidenhout recently heard that he is a finalist for the SA Men’s Hairstyling Championship. For this championship he has to style six models in a full stage production. “I’ve always been fond of setting my own trends instead of following set rules,” he said. “This level of conceptualising and trendsetting, I think that’s what sets a true hairstylist apart from the mundane everyday hairdresser. It’s something I enjoy doing and where I feel my true skills lie.”

Eleven mall robberies have taken place in just 25 days in the province of Gauteng. The robberies began on 13 August and the most recent one occurred on 8 September. Most of the crimes have involved armed men robbing cellphone and high-end electronics stores. The low level of security in these stores and the speed with which criminals are able to convert the stolen goods into cash has made them highly attractive targets. Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Lesetja Mothiba, said during a media briefing on 9 September, “As the Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, speaking for myself and my management, this spate of robberies and attacks on malls is of great concern to us. The festive season is soon approaching and Gauteng SAPS will increase visibility in and around some of the malls that we have identified as high risk. We have identified 12 malls where we will increase visibility, which will include the deployment of Nyalas.” A national team of detectives has been assigned to assist the local authorities with their investigations. The police have worked with Business against Crime and

South Africa Banking Risk Information Centre to attempt to stop the surge of business robberies. Meetings will be held with the management of the various malls to discuss the improvement of security systems in malls. A breakthrough has, however, been made in the police’s investigations. This followed an intense investigation and several leads from Crime Intelligence on the robberies. Four suspects, aged between 28 and 44 years, were arrested at their hideouts in Brixton and Doornfontein. During the arrest police confiscated a 9mm pistol and three semi-automatic rifles, as well as 97 live rounds of ammunition. The suspects are in custody and will be charged with the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. The possibility of more charges being added has not been ruled out. The investigation will focus on their alleged involvement in the robbery at the Black Chain Shopping Centre in Diepkloof in Soweto, ATM bombings, taxi violence and business robberies. Shoppers and businesses are encouraged to be vigilant until the safety measures can be implemented.

BCC to host JVW School League finals Bedfordview Country Club will be the host of the 2014 JVW Girls School League Finals. JVW Girls School League ended last week, with a few matches being caught up before the finalisation of the schools which will make it through to the final stages of the league. With more than 55 teams registered in the 4-term schools league this year, competition has been tough. The quarter-finals will be played this week at Bedfordview Country Club, with the semi-finals and finals to be played after the upcoming school holidays. Banyana Banyana Captain and JVW founder, Janine Van Wyk is really impressed with how the league has grown in the past three years. ‘’It is so great to know that the girls are continuously improving, and good to see the league strength with every year.

AA does NOT support e-tolls The Automobile Association has taken note of a South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) media statement in which SANRAL spokesperson Vusi Mona made reference to studies conducted by the AA regarding the costs of traffic congestion to the economy. "The AA agrees that traffic congestion has a considerable impact on the effectiveness of the economy," the AA said. "However, the Association is concerned that reference has been made to its name and views in the context of a SANRAL press statement which promotes e-tolling, a system which the AA has consistently opposed," the AA added. "This may give rise to uncertainty over the AA's exact stance," the Association commented. In 2007, the Association was one of the

original objectors to the funding of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement System via tolling. It said that tolling increased the cost to the end user and concentrated the funding burden on a limited number of citizens. The AA said there were more equitable ways of funding roads which had low or no collection costs, such as taxation and the fuel levy. "References to studies we have done or the mention of the AA’s name by SANRAL spokespeople should not be interpreted to mean that the AA has changed its stance on the issue of how best to fund the roads which need to be built to relieve congestion," the AA commented. "We wish to re-affirm that we remain opposed to e-tolling," the Association concluded.

Bar fight leads to arrest SAPS East Rand fun sports day Primrose police arrested a 23-year-old suspect last Monday for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. This occurred at a tavern when an argument between two drinkers led to a bar fight. The victim reported that he asked a fellow-drinker to apologize for trampling on him, but the other man started swearing at him instead and then followed him around, saying that he was not scared of him. The victim tried to avoid him, he said, but to no avail, as his pursuer then grabbed him, strangled him and hit him in the face with a beer-bottle before taking out a sharp object and stabbing him on the upper body. A Primrose detective followed up the matter and the suspect was arrested. He appeared at the Germiston Court and the matter was postponed for plea and trial. The police would like to make an appeal to the community not to take the law into theirr own hands.
12 years for house robbery A house robbery case that occurred on 29 August 2012 in Apple Street, Primrose has been finalized, thanks to the investigating talents of Detective SGT Ngqoleka. The 27-year-old Kelvin Thabiso Manyathi was arrested, found guilty on 25 August and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. The station commander of Primrose SAPS, Col Mduduzi Khuzwayo and his management would like to thank the detective for leaving no stone unturned when investigating this matter. “It is only through hard work and dedication this can be achieved,” he said.

Dagga in microwave Thirteen chief superintendents for EMPD Primrose police arrested two suspects, aged 33 and 36 years, for possession of dagga at Makause informal settlement on 7 September. The first incident happened while police were doing foot patrols in the informal settlement in plain clothes and a man came to a tuck-shop to buy dagga. The undercover cops watched as the unsuspecting tuck-shop worker opened a microwave oven and took out some dagga for her customer. The police then approached her and asked permission to search the premises. They found 17 ziplock plastic bags containing dagga inside the microwave. The second incident happened when the police saw three men behaving in a suspicious manner. They asked to search them and found four ziplock plastic bags containing dagga on one of them. The man in possession of the drugs was arrested. Both suspects were detained at Primrose SAPS and have since appeared at Germiston Court, where their matters were remanded for plea and trial.
In order to ensure efficiency and effective control and planning at first line management level, EMPD management has prioritized the urgent appointment of thirteen Chief Superintendents, the majority of whom will be deployed in the operations division. The appointees were promoted from within the organisation with effect from 1 September.
All the new appointees, save three, will be working in the operations division. The three have been deployed in logistics, internal prosecution and data management. Ahead of their challenging responsibilities, the new Chief Superintendents will undergo intensive training at the EMPD Academy to hone their managerial, technical and communication skills.

Sharing our heritage
The GCIS (Government Communication and Information System) have launched the Tell Your Story Campaign to get ordinary South Africans to share their stories of what it was like growing up in apartheid South Africa, to consider what change democracy has brought – and to present a vision for the future.
The sharing of stories has a way of nurturing, teaching and persuading change in others
Page 7
tame TIMES
This act of sharing allows South Africans a platform to talk about the pain of apartheid, their experience of democracy – and of the South Africa they would like to live in. This is important so that we can move forward as a nation that has documented its history, is aware of the sacrifices made by many South Africans to achieve this freedom – and who can create a future South Africa that all can call home. The sharing of stories has a way of nurturing, teaching and persuading change in others. South Africans from all walks of life have already begun sharing their stories. To read more about these stories, the campaign and learn how to share your story visit: www.gcis.gov.za/tell-your-story-campaign. Submit your video and /or text to electronic@gcis.gov.za;
“ Here are our stories”
The Acting CEO of the GCIS, Ms Phumla Williams tells of how she became politically aware, of when she was detained and leaving the country to receive military training. She explains how living in the democracy of today was worth the fight of yesteryear. “We sacrificed quite a lot of our lives as young people but when I look back I feel we have made a contribution. South Africa would not be where it is now had we not been resolute about changing the system. Have we made a difference in 20 years? Certainly we have made a dent. My kids no longer know any differences in terms of race. They see South Africans as South Africans. When I was growing up I saw South Africans as black and white. My son and my daughter went to a school that has all the basics. I’m working as a senior manager in the public service and I don’t think that would ever have been possible.”
Judge Yvonne Mokgoro: The former Constitutional Court judge from 1994 to 2009 and chair of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund tells of the difficult times faced by her and her siblings and how important education was for her. “Throughout my childhood because we were four girls my dad raised us as strong girls… He raised us to know that girls could also have an education and a profession.” Judge Mokgoro looks back at our history giving advice to the youth. “Make sure as a citizen that you play a role in helping to build your country. This is your country. You don’t have any other. You’ll be building it for yourself, your children and your children’s children. You can’t go around the world looking for another country. Ask yourself what you have contributed to building this country.”

I Heart Joburg brings the heat There is a trend in the music industry with a number of popular music festivals, where you are no longer entertained by one opening act and one main act, but rather by a stupendous line-up of major international acts that makes you feel like you should have paid more for your ticket - and that is just what we got at the I Heart Joburg Music Festival on 6 September at Ellis Park Stadium. We all love Joburg, and nothing makes you love Joburg more than having your favourite local artists perform on the same stage as acts they probably look up to and aspire to. The Arrows, Zebra and Giraffe, Kwesta, The Graeme Watkins Project, iFani and CrashCarBurn all came with guns blazing giving the crowd just what they want, an aweinspiring home-grown explosion of talent. Sponsors Microsoft, Lumia and Steyn Entertainment set the bar very high with this one, offering us heavyweight artists who have never performed in South Africa before. International acts kicked off with T-PAIN, who brought along his Auto-Tune effects. B.o.B surprised the crowd by jumping off stage and into the crowd, the most crowd engagement I have seen in a while by any artist who has performed in SA. The crowd also got a pair of Timberland’s which B.o.B had on. Panic! At The Disco performed their infectious hit I Write Sins Not Tragedies, whilst Jason Derulo got the ladies screaming and wiggling along to his greatest hits. If there was a main act of the night it would be
Durban based country pop duo Connecting Stars have just launched a self-titled album with a country sound that can be likened to such bands as Lady Antebellum. The single Stuck from the album was the duo’s first attempt at seizing the American
Jessie J, not because of any special effects she brought to the stage but rather that voice. All she needed was her voice and that was more than enough, with her singing her most popular hits and two new tracks from her upcoming album SweetTalker. Fall Out Boy closed the show and performed the new track Centuries from their as yet untitled new album, following a brief hiatus.
Jessie J’s was a highlight of the I Heart Joburg Music Festival this past weekend.
market and has met massive success, climbing to number 30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts in America. Martin and Cheryl Engel, who collectively make up the duo Connecting Stars, have had extensive careers in the music industry as producers, songwriters and performers.

South Africa’s biggestGPS obstacle race, the Jeep Warrior COORDINATES Race for the Brave attracts only the most • 26°14’.15’’ S | 28°00’.48’’ adventurous competitors menE and women of steel who are fit, fast and a little crazy. Team Fight Club, a group of eight men from Bedfordview and the surrounding areas - Clint Barry, Mike Lemon, Gregg De Laney, Marcus Herbert, Paul Firth, Andrew Foster, David De Freitas, and Ronnie Seiler - completed the Rookie Race in the time of 1 hour, 36 minutes and 49 seconds. The Rookie Race is five kilometres long with 15 obstacles and has been designed to give each and every competitor the opportunity to share in the crazy fun of obstacle racing. The Rookie Race is challenging, gets competitors dirty and allows entrants to experience an overwhelming sense of achievement when they complete the race. Paul Firth, one of the Team Fight Club
members, told tame TIMES, “The most enjoyable thing about the race is that it brings people together - people with the same heart and the same purpose in mind. One of the rules for the race is you have to finish together as a team and this builds relationships and also enables everyone to have fun together.” When asked what the hardest obstacle was, he explained, “One of the obstacles requires your team to get into a pit which has gumpoles placed over the pit from left to right. The gum-poles are placed at different heights which you as a team have to get over. It becomes difficult due to the height of the poles and the loose tyres placed through the gum-poles.” There are three other categories in the Warrior Race - Warrior Bratz (1km with 8 obstacles), Commando (10km with 20 obstacles) and Black-Ops (16km with 30 obstacles). For more information visit www.warrior.co.za. tame TIMES would like to congratulate Team Fight Club and hopes to see them competing in the Black Ops soon.
