EFF election campaign stage burnt to ashes Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) two tents, erected on Friday night at Sam Ntuli stadium in Thokoza, with 100 plastic chairs, four sound speakers, and a table, in preparation to host an election rally was set alight in the early hours of Saturday morning. Gardee Godrich, EFF Commissar for Elections said the incident happened around 3:30 to 4:00 am on Saturday. He said there were 50 members of EFF looking after the tent while singing and it happened that they took five minutes’ walk to the stadium entrance gate and when they came back everything was burning. “We suspect that the perpetrator was laying in ambush, patiently waiting for my members to lose sight. The suspect might have used a gorilla warfare tactic and he is highly trained. We suspect that African National Congress (ANC) is behind the incident. We received threats that the ANC is plotting to disrupt our rally and we also informed the police about the threat,” said Godrich. According to the press statement issued by EFF they condemn the torching of its marques, stage
and sound system, allegedly by ANC members. It states that EFF will however continue to do everything in its power to protect its events, its members, and its right to exist. They call on the Independent Electoral Commission to act with speed and decisively against the ANC. EFF further called on all their members to stand their ground and continue campaigning for the agenda of the economic emancipation movement. Responding to the matter, Thandi Mahlangu, Deputy Secretary of ANC in Ekurhuleni region said, “The ANC does not know anything about the allegations and no threats were made against the EFF.” Captain Piet Rossouw, Communications Officer of Vosloorus police station and duty officer confirmed that the incident happened. “A case of malicious damage to property has been opened by EFF and registered at Thokoza Police Station. There are no arrests that have been made and no injuries reported. There is still no evidence of what caused the fire and the forensic team is still investigating. The rally continued without any incident of violence reported. We appeal to the public with information regarding the incident, to report to the police,” said Rossouw.

“The chosen one” rise
Lebo Mosolodi lebo.kathorus@tametimes.co.za
Bonga Mthembu has the ability to keep radio listeners glued to their favourite Kasi FM channel while informing, educating and entertaining the listeners with great local music. His reputation as one of the finest presenters in Ekurhuleni earned him a nickname “The Chosen One”. Mthebu said he does not have any academic background in broadcasting, but learned his craft through working experience in Kasi FM. “I joined Kasi FM in 2000 after matriculating and never looked back. Between 2000 -2003, I was working as a newsreader for the same radio station and I was later mandated to be a head of news. Then I was given a 3am-6am slot called Kuyavukwa (wakeup). As if that was not enough, I was shifted to 9pm – 12 pm hosting a popular show called “The late Night Affair”. I have also hosted the 9am- 12 midday show called Browsing Around”, said Mthembu. Currently, he is hosting “Kasi to Kasi show” starting from 12am -3midday. Listeners are passionate about his show because he tackles social problems and community development topics. His choice of music is appealing across all ages. “I have been chosen two times in succession as finalists of Ekurhuleni Community Awards. Last year I was for the first time chosen as the best radio personality in Ekurhuleni Community Awards which is a greatest honour in the City of Ekurhuleni. My role models are Cyril Bongani “Kansas City” Mchunu and Fana “Khabzela” Khaba,” said Mthembu. He is currently married with two kids living in Mavimbela Section at Katlehong. His dream is to move to greener pastures when the time is ripe but eager to learn from his predecessors in broadcasting industry.

Kathorus Rollerblades Club members collected 14 medals at the South African Opening Inline Speed Championship held at Mandela Village in Pretoria recently. According to Kathorus Rollerblades Club chairperson, Itumeleng Pitso, their skaters were competing in the 200 and 300 meters Time Trial race. “We competed in the under 13, 15, 17 and over 17 divisions for both male and female categories. Out of 17 members we had on board, we managed to collect 8 gold, 3 bronze and 3 silver medals. “It was not by surprise that two of our teammates Kutlwano Mogotsi (17) and Katiso Mokoena’s (16) names were
shortlisted for the trails in team South Africa. They both competed in the junior category for the national championship. We are confident that they will make it to final team list of team South Africa because of the magnificent support we are giving them. Trails will commence from July at Mandela Village in Pretoria,” said Pitso. The top three performing skaters in each category of team South Africa will automatically qualify to represent the country in the International World Speed Championship to be held in Argentina in November.
