Video of Fight at Hoërskool President goes viral
“the victim was the one that first attacked.” Hoërskool President in Ridgeway, in the South of Johannesburg has suspended four learners after a video of a fight surfaced on social media on Thursday, 24 January. TimesLIVE reports confirmed that the fight happened on Tuesday and the learners were suspended the same day. In the video of two schoolboys, one boy punches another boy in the head about six times before the beaten pupil falls down. After the fight, four learners come to the aid of the beaten boy and help him to his feet. “No one knows what caused the fight,” Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said on Friday during a visit to the school in Ridgeway. tame TIMES understands that Lesufi feared the video might become a racism issue because one learner is white and the
other is black. “I’m very reluctant to use race and I’m also reluctant to enter the domain of who is right and who is wrong,” said Lesufi. At the start of the video, the beaten learner is holding a belt above his head. Lesufi said according to preliminary information “the victim was the one that first attacked.” “The report says the victim took the belt off prior to the video being taken.” The school has set down a disciplinary hearing for Thursday, 31 January. “We need to get to the source of the fight,” Lesufi said. If the learners are found guilty after the hearing, “they must find space somewhere, not in our schools in Gauteng,” said Lesufi. “We can’t transfer one problem to another school. We are very firm. We are not denying them their rights,” concluded
5 ways unnecessary idling damages your car In winter months, many drivers still idle their cars to warm up the engine despite driving the latest car models. Some drivers also believe that idling doesn’t use a lot of fuel and that it’s better for the car’s engine to idle than to restart. Over the years, there have been many inherited beliefs about car idling that have influenced our driving habits, however with modern cars they are nothing more than outdated myths. Idling isn’t harmful to your car but excessive and unnecessary idling can have a negative impact. Here’s why excessive idling damages your car: 1. Idling in cold weather harms your engine: Before the 1980s, car engines relied on carburettors to keep the engine going. Idling was essential to warm up the carburettor before driving. Today’s cars use electronic fuel injection systems that, together with more sophisticated engines, alternators and leading start/ stop battery technology, make idling unnecessary. The best and fastest way to properly warm up your car’s engine is to start driving gently for the first few minutes. 2. Idling wastes petrol: A common myth is that idling uses less fuel than starting your car. The truth is that 10 to 30 seconds of idling burns more fuel than restarting your car. For every two minutes you idle, you could have driven
1.5 kilometers. Save more fuel by turning off the engine whenever you’re going to stand still for more than 10 seconds. 3. Idling drains your battery: Your car battery powers all the electronics in your vehicle and needs to be recharged by the alternator. When your car is idling, the battery charges slower and takes more strain from electronics. Fortunately, Raylite batteries, exclusively available at Battery Centre, offer greater power reserves, faster recharge times and twice the lifecycle of standard car batteries. Get your battery checked for free at a Battery Centre near you to ensure you never run out of power. 4. Idling burns up oil: The moment you start your car, engine oil gets circulated and used. Idling for long periods will therefore use more oil and you’ll need to refill your oil more often. 5. Idling causes engine damage: While idling, the fuel in your car is only partially burned. Long periods of idling can produce a build-up of fuel residue and cause engine damage. Keep in mind that fuel is also an excellent thinner and cleaner, which means it can also wash away oil that keeps the engine components lubricated. There are more than 12 million registered vehicles in South Africa, and if everyone cut down on unnecessary idling, we would significantly reduce pollution. Idling is history, the future of driving is start/stop.

Support the Germiston High School Rowing Club
The St Andrew’s Rowing Committee are proud supporters of the rowing development team at Germiston High School. Germiston High School Rowing Club is a small dedicated group of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, who, despite the odds, persevere and achieve excellent results. They are always struggling for funding, but were dealt a devastating blow last week on 17 January, when a severe storm destroyed their boatshed at Victoria Lake Club, damaging the majority of their boats. With ‘Community’ being one of our
school’s core values, and in our effort to support local communities, we would like to appeal to our St Andrew’s family to pull together to assist the Germiston development team; and make it possible for them to participate in the South African Rowing Championships in a few weeks. If you would like to make a financial donation in your personal capacity, please follow the website provided below, to support the team’s efforts to recover from this unfortunate event. The funding is supported by Rowing South Africa (www.rowsa.co.za).
