tame TIMES UNDERSTANDS THAT
BAKWELA WAS KILLED DURING AN ALLEGED GANG RIVALRY FIGHT BETWEEN THE “STK (STOUTKINDERS)” AND “IDV” GANGS. GARIN JOEMATH garin.joemath@tametimes.co.za
It is with great sadness that the community learned of the death of Grade 10 Forest High School pupil, Daniel Bakwela (16), who was stabbed to death at the school on Monday, 3 June. tame TIMES understands that Bakwela was killed during an alleged gang rivalry fight between the “STK (Stoutkinders)” and “IDV” gangs. Three learners were reportedly attacked: two were hospitalised but Bakwela died on the scene. Reports confirm that Bakwela allegedly got into a fight with the accused that was on his way to write an exam. It is alleged that after the first exam session the accused was standing outside the school with his friend. It is believed that Daniel and five other young men attacked the accused.
According to TimesLive the mother of the deceased is in mourning and a scuffle involving alleged gang members broke out at the first court appearance of the accused on Wednesday. The pupil accused is 19-year-old Muhammad Mowela, a fellow learner from Forest High School. The 19-year-old states that he “came under attack” and was defending himself, his legal representative said in court on Thursday, 6th of June. According to TimesLive during the bail
application Moela submitted a written affidavit, which was read by his attorney Mudi Mavhengani. He argued that it would not be in the interests of justice to be denied bail as he had been attacked by alleged “Stoutkinders” gang members, popularly known as the STKs. “On the day in question, I had come under physical attack by the members of Stoutkinders gang, as they are called. The deceased [Bakwela] dropped a knife that he had in his hand. After I had beaten him with a stone, I then picked up the knife … and stabbed one of the gang members, so that I can run for my life. These gang members chased me as I was running back to the school,” read the affidavit. The National Prosecuting Authority said it did not oppose bail as Moela was not a flight risk. The magistrate, BC Molwana, said he would not make a ruling following material defects in Moela’s affidavit, missing signatures in the prosecution’s affidavit, and because he still had to read up on the school’s policy on age limits and other legislation. The bail application of 19-year-old Muhammad Mowela, was postponed to Monday, 10 June. This story will continue in the next tame TIMES where we will report on the magistrate’s decision on the bail application.

Local hospital hopes to inspire learners An enthusiastic group of eight grade 8 and 12 girls from a number of local schools were recently given a behind the scenes glimpse into a number of careers in healthcare when they got to spend the day at Netcare N17 Hospital in Springs as part of the 17th annual Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work initiative. In welcoming the learners from Springs Girls High, M.O.M Seboni Secondary School, Erasmus Monareng Secondary School, Thuto Lesedi Secondary School and Kenneth Masekela Secondary School, Jaco Du Preez, general manager of Netcare N17 Hospital said that the hospital was committed to empowering young South Africans. “At Netcare N17 Hospital we know that women are vibrant and dynamic contributors to the economy. We are fortunate in the health care environment to have females as the vast majority of our staff and thus we can relate completely to the empowerment and skills development of women.” “A career in healthcare is immensely rewarding. Prospective candidates will find that all categories of healthcare skills are highly sought after. To consider a
career in healthcare one should have a passion for people, a willingness to conquer daily challenges and the ability to show compassion to those in need. In order for one to pursue one’s dreams, one has to have love for what one is doing,” he added. During the course of the day, the learners participated in a comprehensive programme which included various activities aimed at exposing them to the opportunities available within Netcare. The programme for the day included a tour through the various departments in the hospital including the pathology laboratory and the X-ray department. The learners also participated in an infection prevention and control discussion and were given a CPR demonstration by Netcare 911. The informative and educational sessions were specially compiled to make the girls feel as much a part of the hospital as any employee. According to Peter Warrener, human resources director of Netcare, the company has taken part in the initiative as part of its commitment to help shape a future for young South Africans one that is rooted
in inclusivity, gender equality and empowerment. This year 26 Netcare sites, including hospitals, Netcare head office and the Netcare shared services centre, hosted girl learners. Over the years of Netcare’s participation in this worthy initiative, it has given just on 3 800 girls exposure to different career opportunities in the private healthcare
sector. “This year, female senior managers and influencers within Netcare once again empowered young women with information and knowledge to assist them in building their own careers. In addition, we aimed to impress on them that they have the power to contribute towards social change, particularly when it comes to gender equality.”

are paid for their recyclables, whilst teaching environmental awareness, responsibility and sustainability. The partnership is valuable as it spotlights the importance of recycling. By recycling, you benefit the environment in a number of ways: it diverts recyclable paper; paper based packaging and plastic away from landfills; reduces greenhouse gas emissions and prevents the incineration of recyclable paper. Did you know that long-life milk and juice cartons are now recyclable? Recycling your used, empty cartons is easy and only requires you to remove or lift the cap, turn out the corners, flatten and replace the cap. The flattened carton is now ready to be recycled in your nearest Ronnie Bank. Kidz Nest Pre-Primary & After Care would like to encourage more community members and businesses to play their part in saving the environment by donating all their unwanted paper, magazines, newspapers, cartons etc. to the school for recycling. They need your contribution to help them increase their recycling volumes on a continual basis; as a fund raiser.
