Fighting war against hunger Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za Gone are the days were former Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK)cadres used the barrel of the gun to fight for land ownership, this time around they are fighting a different war against hunger by practising farming. 15 former MK members from three different cooperatives, namely; Jalamba, Kateko and Mthebe have amalgamated to form one cooperative based on plot number 91 Old Heidelberg road in Vosloorus. Their plot is about 10 hectors of land and they keep livestock; they have about 135 cattle, 150 goats and sheep and more than 100 pigs. Speaking to tame TIMES, Christian Tunywa, spokesperson of the cooperative said, agriculture was part of their training in exile. He said they were born and bred in rural villages where they used to head cattle and farm. “We understand that the riches of our country come from the soil, hence we are defending the economic gains of the revolution through farming and livestock ranching. People are not paying attention to farming especially in urban areas and we need to make a mark,”
said Tunywa. He said they want to end the myth that black people are not commercial farmers but they practise substance farming. “We want to close a gap of the country depending on white farmers in terms of food security. We want to prove a point that black people are also capable of commercial farming,” he said. Tunywa said they are aligning themselves with the policies of the government to empower the youth. “We have employed eight members of the youth and encouraging them to love animals and pursue careers in agriculture. Farming is the back bone of our economy. We are also going back to our roots and teaching the youth not to fear cattle,” said Tunywa. He added that the challenge that hinders their progress is scarcity of resources. He highlighted that their intention was to also to do both commercial farming and livestock keeping but they don’t have the resources. Tunywa appealed to the government to invest in existing black farmers. For those who want to buy cattle’s, goats, sheep’s and pigs for weddings and functions should contact the cooperative at 011 892 0429 \ 078 858 4474.

Charity Moyo charity@tametimes.co.za The centre for orphans and vulnerable children, Heart Beat, Vosloorus branch, was recently upgraded, revamped and officially re-launched. The centre used to be a four room house. It is now a double story centre, complete with a board room, three offices, a large kitchen and three bathrooms. They have planted grass around the centre, constructed pavements and decorations for children. Silas Gumede, project Manager for Heart Beat, said there was a challenge of space in the centre, the four room house could not accommodate all the children and people who were coming to receive food parcels. “The children are happy and proud of the new look of the centre. They now
have enough space for different activities. We acknowledge the sponsorship from Mixtelematics for the upgrading of our facility. The vision of the organisation is to nurture, empower and support orphans and vulnerable children to be future responsible leaders,” said Gumede. Riette Botha, executive at Mixtelematics said they have a good relationship with Heart Beat. “We focus on developing people, especially children. We were looking for a partner that shared our vision and Heart Beat became one of them. We assisted with the upgrading of the facility. We are looking forward to sustaining the long term partnership and we are committed.” Heart Beat Vosloorus branch caters for orphans and vulnerable children around the community.

Vosloorus schools participated in Human Rights Public Speaking Charity Moyo Competition charity@tametimes.co.za Lethulwazi Secondary School and Thuto Lesedi Secondary School were the finalists and took part in the fifth Peermont School Support Programme (PSSP) Human Rights Public Speaking Competition held at the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg recently. The schools that participated are from Ekurhuleni and Sedibeng and there were two groups of the juniors (Grade 8-9) and seniors (Grade 10-12). The schools that took part are ,General Smuts from (Vereenging) , Germiston High from (Germiston) Lethulwazi Secondary and Thuto Lesedi Secondary from( Vosloorus) ,Sunward Park High from (Boksburg) , Tembisa Secondary ( Tembisa) and Unity Secondary (Daveyton). General Smuts Secondary School won the competition for the juniors and seniors, the winners were awarded with floating trophies, certificates and ipad minis. The other schools that participated were also awarded with certificates and iPod shuffle’s (mp3 player for music). The theme for the event was “President 4 a Day” the learners were tested to think about the challenges South Africa is faced with, the issues that concern the learners most, and how they would address these matters if they had the power to do so. Further to public speaking and cognitive benefits of compiling debates, the campaign aims to encourage the learners to become active citizens, to think pro-actively and not to accept the status quo. Speaking to tame TIMES, Clifford Elk, Director of PSSP said, “The performance of the learners was excellent and they are getting better every year. The debate answers were brilliant, they expressed the challenges they are faced with as young people and suggested possible solutions. We are also embracing our constitution and principles for our future and it is important that we engage our learners.” The PSSP Human Rights and Public Speaking Campaign was launched in 2010 to introduce dialogues at school level about Human Rights, the Bill of Rights and the South African Constitution. The campaign has successfully created awareness around current issues and challenges facing the youth by allowing learners to associate with these challenges in a personal manner.

Youth must be faithful to partners: Charity Moyo says Mahwayi charity@tametimes.co.za Marcia Mahwayi, a 22 year-old from Marimba Gardens in Vosloorus says youth are faced with the enormous challenge of sustaining their relationships. “In most cases the youth are unable to date one person and be faithful to them. They are caught in a dilemma of dating many boyfriends or girlfriends. It is because they will be after some material gains and when the partner fails to satisfy their needs they decide to date someone while still in a relationship with the previous partner,” said Mahwayi. She warns them to be careful and know what they want before involving themselves in relationships. “Some of the reason for the youth to date more people at the same time are peer pressure and lack of relationship knowledge. They might be influenced by friends and some are after money, not love,” she said. Mahwayi said dating many partners have negative consequences and that it can lead to unwanted teenage pregnancy, stress, depression, HIV\ AIDS and even criminal activities. She
said it can lead to fights between the partners who are being double crossed that might result in one being murdered. “I warn youth to be faithful and commit themselves to one partner. All the love triangle stories that we read about on the media leading to the death of another partner is a reality. We have to choose carefully and when we feel that we are no longer interested in our partners, we rather separate from them and start again instead of double crossing them,” said Mahwayi She concluded by saying education is the key and that the youth needs to be educated by their parents about relationships. Mahwayi is studying a course in Electrical Engineering N6 level at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus Campus. Her dreams are to become a qualified electrician. Mahwayi’s hobbies are watching television and reading magazines. Marcia Mahwayi warns youth to be faithful to their partners.

A fan of German cars
Happy Khumalo happy@tametimes.co.za
Kagiso Mashise is showing off his car. Kagiso Mashise loves German cars, he says they are easy to maintain and comfortable to drive. He said since the cost of living is very high his car is a relief as it is economic on fuel consumption. Mashise said his Audi S3 is fast and suitable for the family. What model is your car? Audi S3 2002 model Tell us why you love it? I love German cars because they possess powerful engines, and they have everything I need in a car. Is there any special feature that you added on your car? No everything is still standard.
Do you have any traffic fines? No I don’t have any; I owe money for the e-tolling system. How much do you spend on fuel? It is a big car but very good on fuel consumption. I do not really know how much I spend per month because I drive around a lot. Is there any long distance that you have travelled? I have driven from Johannesburg to Limpopo. What do think about the E-tolls? I do not like the E-tolling system and I cannot afford them as we are paid less money. I do not support it.

response with more than 500 downloads from the datafilehost link. He said it is also played on Voice of Wits FM and University of Johannesburg FM. “The single is a way of expressing the hard work that we implement when doing our work .It is sending a message to people that they should not take us for granted because of where we come from. We also have experience in what we are doing and we are requesting to be treated with professionalism. The song is also directed to outsiders who come to our territory and poke their nose in our business,” said Dladla.

Dladla said they still got more to offer and they need the support. “We are bringing a fresh style of rhyme and panstula. We are appealing for the community’s support by attending our gigs, downloading our tracks, following our twitter page and liking our Facebook page,” said Dladla.

J BROWN
This 1 day prayer fixed my marriage and financial problems. One day I was reading the newspaper when I saw J Brown and decided to call her to help me out of the misarable life I have been stuck in for 25yrs. My marriage was ruined and my financial status was driving me crazy. She helped me within 5 days and my life was changed completely without spending money on other doctors or priests. I referred 2 of my friends to her and she did not dissappoint them either. Thank you J Brown

will begin with preparation for the tournament. “On the 11 May our team will be competing against the best karate athletes in the world for trophies. Our team have six karate athletes which consist of three males and three females. The athletes we are sending to compete in Japan are, Thabiso Mosebi, Tshiamo Maphopha, Siphiwe Nkosi, Sibusiso Tshanyela, Katleho Hlatswayo, Lerato Nkopane and Mathapelo Pule. Tshiamo Maphopha will be on standby in case one of our athletes gets injured during the preparation for the tournament. This is a well balanced team which is why we are expecting six medals from them after the competition.” The event organisers expect each Dojo across the world to send some representatives to attend this camp so that they could take knowledge back to their members, students to increase their level and standard of individual Dojos.
