Millions of South Africans are settling on their decision on who to vote for or eagerly campaigning for their chosen political party before tomorrow’s general election. Billed as the most important election since the country transitioned into democracy, all eyes are on whether the African National Congress (ANC) will retain its majority. With countless issues, ranging from corruption to factional battles, hampering the governing party, their two biggest rivals, the DA and EFF, have made great inroads into the political space once occupied solely by the ANC. Tomorrow South Africans who are eligible
to vote will make two important decisions – who they wish to represent their beliefs and values Nationally and Provincially. National and provincial elections are two different elections to choose representatives to the National Assembly and Provincial Legislatures. National vote: You are voting for a political party to represent you in the National Assembly. Provincial vote: You are voting for a political party to represent you in the Provincial Legislature. As residents of Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg South, your current Gauteng premiers are:

The African National Congress (ANC) is the Republic of South Africa’s governing political party. It has been the ruling party of post-apartheid South Africa since the election of Nelson Mandela in the 1994 election, winning every election since then. The party aims to end discrimination in all its forms and transform South Africa as rapidly as possible into a united, nonracial, nonsexist and democratic country.
The main opposition party in South Africa and governs the Western Cape and various Metro’s throughout the country through coalitions. The DA’s main aim is to put a job in every home and they want to unite our diverse country through honest and accountable leadership. They also state that they will protect property rights and believe the Constitution should be left unchanged.
The EFF is the third biggest party in South Africa. The party has been marred in controversy since inception. The party is rooted in socialist values with have campaigned for land expropriation and job creation for black citizens. Their manifesto states that they plan to create special economic zones to lure investment, with tax breaks for companies employing at least 2,000 people.
The United Democratic Movement is a centreleft, social-democratic, South African political party. They are led by charismatic former African National Congress and Transkei homeland leader, General Bantu Holomisa, and aims to unite South Africans from all communities in a new political home, built on the foundation of the principles and ideals of our National Constitution.

The party believes South Africa needs a political system based on Christian values, anchored in principles of justice, truth, love, respect for life and peaceful co-existence. The party is divisive in its approach and finds very little right with South Africa. It seeks a new vision for the country with a strong focus on the rights of minorities.

A note from the editor On Wednesday 8 May, South Africans will make their way to the voting booths once again to have their say in who will run the country for the next five years. The elections are a time to look to the future with hope that those we put our trust in actually deliver on their promises and act with integrity. But it’s also an opportunity to look back at some iconic images that make up the voting history of our still young democratic country. Whether it’s the lines of people stretching into the distance waiting with pride for their first chance to exercise their newly won freedom, or Nelson Mandela casting his vote as part of his decades-long fight for freedom, voting in South Africa more so possibly in any other country is an emotional experience. What does voting mean to you? tame TIMES wants to to hear from you!

Alberton girls soar to greater heights Ek en Gysie het sondag gaan uithelp vir ‘n fietswedren. Ons was vreeslik opgewonde tot hulle ons bel en sê ons moet 06:00 die oggend reeds op ons pos wees. Ons het klaar ingestem so Sondagoggend is ons 05:00 uit die bed en oppad. Mense, dit was koud. Toe ons daar kom, tussen niks en nêrens, brom Gysie:”Ons gaan nie eers ‘n koffietjie kry nie”. Die ander mense daag toe op met ‘n kragopwekker en ‘n ketel. Toe ons alles gereed het sit ons die ketel aan, en net daar vrek die opwekker. Ons het so aanhou sukkel vir seker 20 minute en toe maar moed opgegee. Toe die eerste fietsryers verby kom stop hulle ons hande vol watersakkies. Die fietsryers gryp dit om te drink, maar die helfte bars oop en binne minute is ons sopnat. Ons deel piesangs en lekkers uit en glasies met koeldrank. Die atmosfeer maak sommer op vir die koue. Die een vrou sê toe die ‘pro’s’ gaan nou verbykom. Ek gryp sommer weer ‘n klomp sakkies en storm in die pad in. Ek hoor iemand skree vir my om te pasop maar dis te laat. ‘n Groot klomp fietsryers storm op my af teen die spoed van ‘n Ferrari en almal skree vir my om pad te gee. Ek wou nog koes toe is ek in die middel. Maar is die klomp boosaardig kwaad vir my. Daar staan ek, verleë, met my watersakkies, en koes en vra omverskoning soos ‘n stout kind wat gevang is. Op die kantlyn skater almal soos hulle lag, veral Gysie. Toe die eerste bondel uiteindelik verby is loop ek hom storm en druk die watersakkies teen sy rug stukkend. Toe is hy die een wat rondspring en gil. Blykbaar moet jy glad nie die pro’s pla nie. Tip - Partykeer is dit beter om Nee te sê, veral as jy niks weet van iets af nie.

Herman Mashaba negotiates private electricity deal for Joburg
Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba says there is a way for the city to never experience electricity outages again as a result of problems at Eskom. In addition to spending on repairs to substations and switching cables from copper to aluminium to prevent theft, he wants to go private by striking a deal with the Kelvin power station - an independent power producer. “If our residents are paying for it, and it is not being generated by Eskom, there is no rational basis to preventing us from using the 200MW produced at Kelvin to mitigate the crippling effects of load-shedding,” the mayor said in his state of the city address on Tuesday. “This is the equivalent of what we have to shed in Johannesburg, during stage 2 load-shedding.” Mashaba said the city had a contract with
Lions Clubs Citizen of the Year 2019
Kelvin during previous rounds of loadshedding. However, Eskom withdrew from funding this arrangement and in December told the city it could no longer offset its load-shedding requirements with the power generated in Kelvin. “I have initiated a team of people from the city to meet Eskom to inform them that we will offset our load-shedding with the power produced by Kelvin. Should this not be achieved, I have informed our legal teams of my intent to go to court with Eskom so that we can mitigate loadshedding in Johannesburg.” Mashaba said a team from the city was also meeting Kelvin managers “to see whether a new contract can be negotiated that would see their output increased, and sold to the city at a cheaper rate than Eskom’s”.
Plan to stay warm and save money this winter Thinking ahead will often save you money. Last-minute decisions or leaving things until they become a crisis generally don’t. It’s why prepping your home for winter is usually time well invested. While winter weather isn’t the same across South Africa – wet and windy in the Western Cape, dry and bitter in Gauteng – it’s cold just about everywhere. DirectAxis spoke to some experts about how to prepare your home for winter. We asked that their tips had to be things that most home owners can implement without too much expertise. Unsurprisingly, keeping out the cold topped the list. Although insulating your home is a good idea anyway, doing so at a time when the electricity supply is under pressure is doubly beneficial. Not only will you save electricity, which is going to get more expensive, but it’ll be easier to keep warm if there is more loadshedding. Check your doors and windows for draughts. It’s relatively easy to fit self-adhesive rubber seals to the bottom of doors which are letting cold air in. Alternatively, you can make or buy a sausage-dog draught-stopper to block the gap. Do the same with windows. Repair glass that isn’t fitted properly or where putty or seals are damaged, fix windows that don’t seal and replace any worn or missing weather strips. Although these seem like small steps, sustainability websites claim that you can lose up to 15% heat through draughty doors and 10% though unsealed windows. Curtains are better than blinds for keeping out the cold and retaining heat. When there is a bit of warmth and sunlight you can keep them open to warm the house and close them at night to keep the warm air in. Once you’ve finished at ground level move to the ceiling. If you don’t have insulation, consider getting some. It’ll keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. It’s not difficult to fit, but if you have doubts about your DIY abilities, call in the experts. Every house differs, but expert opinion holds that an average house will lose about 25% of heat through the roof. While you’re up there, check if you have a geyser blanket. Heating water requires a lot of energy, up to 40% of household electricity usage, so insulating your geyser will save you money in the long run. Geyser blankets aren’t very ex-

pensive, around R300 on average. When you’ve finished insulating the inside of your house, check the outside. If you live in a winter rainfall area, clear your gutters of leaves and other debris. Water in clogged gutters can break the brackets that support them. The water also needs to go somewhere. If you’re lucky it will pour harmlessly over the side, hopefully not above an entrance. If not, it can blow up under the tiles and damage ceilings and fittings. While you’re up there look for loose, broken or missing tiles or ridge tiles. These can cause leaks or allow wind in, potentially causing more damage. Also check that seals around chimneys or other fittings such as skylights are intact. Take a walk around to see if there are any trees that might blow over or branches that could break and damage the house or installations such as satellite dishes. You may be able to trim them yourself, but if the tree is too big, you don’t have the right equipment or aren’t sure about what you’re doing, it’s best to get in a professional. Bear in mind some indigenous trees are protected, so if you’re not sure ask an expert. Pack away or cover garden or stoep furniture that you aren’t going to use. Winter weather can damage wooden and metal furniture and even plastic perishes when exposed to the elements. If you live in a region prone to high winter winds, consider that outdoor furniture which gets blown around could be destroyed and can also damage anything it hits. While you’re looking around outside, check the lighting. It gets darker earlier in winter, so this is a sensible security precaution. Well-lit paths and approaches will help deter criminals. There’s also the practical benefit that it will prevent you or any of your family or friends tripping and falling in the dark. DirectAxis’ chief marketing officer, Marlies Kappers, says the experts agreed that preventing problems is always less expensive than fixing them afterwards. “Thinking ahead and spending a little on some basic household maintenance will save money in the long run. Small improvements to your home will also help retain or even increase its market value.”
Recently the Lions Clubs of Multiple District 410 (South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland) held their annual convention at Misty Hills, where many awards were handed for outstanding service by Lions from all the Districts. In addition, the clubs also nominated a non-Lion individual as ’Citizen of the Year’ for exceptional service in their community to enhance the quality of life for the less fortunate people around them. For this outstanding service, the winning candidate is given the Lions Clubs International Melvin Jones award. This is the highest recognition achievable within Lions Clubs International, and every Melvin Jones fellow is recorded for posterity at Lions Clubs International Headquarters in Oakbrook, Illinois on a special board set aside for this purpose. This year the winner was an exceptional candidate, pensioner Antoinette Venter of Alberton, who, having successfully raised three children, whilst working as a teacher at the School of Achievement, was widowed after 37 years when her husband Johnny passed away a few years ago. Far from giving up, she turned her energies towards fulfilling her passion, that of helping people in need. She is now involved in arguably the most extensive social support network in and around Alberton. Some of the organizations Antoinette assists are; Alberton Lions, Earth Angels, Helpende Hande, Happy hearts, LOTS, Stepping Stones, Afriforum, Mama Rose feeding scheme, Sharing is Caring, Caring Association, Jabulani, Khaki Bos boys’ home, Karina + Northam elderly council flats, Alberton Retirement Village, local informal settlements, H.E.L.P Forum, RATA, and Alberton SAP Victim Support.
It is hard to believe that all of this has been crammed into a minor 4 years, yet, on a daily basis ‘Tannie A’ as she is fondly known, collects and distributes food, clothing, and other household necessities to 23 families in dire need. She personally collects, sorts and makes up packs of donated items be it fresh fruit and vegetables or multiple other staple needs. People also visit Tannie A when they are hungry, and there is always a meal and a smile ready for them at her home. This gentle angel of kindness demonstrates daily her passion to help others and says the past 4 years have been the best years of her life, bringing truth to the saying that it is in giving that we receive. What a worthy winner of the Lions Club International District 410 ‘Citizen of the Year’ award, and now also a Lions Club International Melvin Jones member!

Suspect arrested for possession of drugs
Brackendowns SAPS members in conjunction with CPF, FOX and CPS Security participated in a special operation and did a high visibility patrol in all sectors. Brackendowns spokesperson Captain Lindi Moloi stated that while the members did a stop and search in Sector 2 they arrested a 23 year-old man for possession of
drugs. The suspect appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s court on Friday morning, 26 April. The Acting Station Commander Lieutenant Colonel Hutchons praised the initiative taken by all stakeholders involved in the fight against crime.
Man killed in hit-and-run
A man was killed on Wednesday evening in a hit-and-run incident on the N1 highway near the Xavier offramp in Ormonde, south of Johannesburg.
Man shot outside his Boksburg home
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene at 19:24 to find the local authorities already in attendance. The body of a man was found lying in the slow lane of the highway. Paramedics assessed the man and found that he had sustained numerous injuries and showed no signs of life. Nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead. The vehicle in question was not found on the scene. Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
A 24-year-old man was shot and killed outside his Boksburg home during an attempted house robbery on Tuesday morning, 30 April. Reports received show that the man’s body was covered in silver foil outside the garage door. When a woman arrived, believed to be his fiancée, she burst into tears. Friends and family members arrived on the scene, crying and comforting her. Police spokesperson Capt Mavela Mason-
do told TimesLIVE the man was shot by two armed robbers about 5.45 on Tuesday morning. Masondo said the man and his mother had just pulled up to their driveway when they were attacked. They were ordered out of the car and told to go into the house with the robbers, Masondo said. “It is believed the man fought with the suspects who then shot him in the upper body,” he said. The man was declared dead on the scene.
