MAKE YOUR MARK 2019 South African general election 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: David Makhura – ANC

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.

ANTOINETTE VENTER:
Lions Clubs Citizen of the Year 2019
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!
Waste pickers marched in Johannesburg
About 200 waste pickers marched from Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown to the offices of Pikitup and the City of Johannesburg on Thursday morning, 2 May. The march was organised by African Reclaimers Organisation (ARO) - a group formed in 2017 to represent Johannesburg’s street and landfill waste pickers. The waste pickers demanded that the City stop any plans to hire private companies to recycle, stop the closure of landfills, open recycling hubs, provide protective equipment and compensate waste pickers who help the City with the registration of waste pickers. They also demanded that the City implement the Department of Environmental Affairs’ guidelines and the City’s framework policy for integration of waste pickers.

Your right to
VOTE
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!
Man left dead after 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. 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. Authorities were on the scene for further investigations.

CONQUERED The 100 Cycle Challenge takes place every first Sunday in May in the City of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng. Anyone over the age of 15 could enter the 100 kilometre race.

The cycle challenge extended a special invitation to road cyclists who are new to the sport and who have never participated in a road race to make the 100 Cycle Challenge their “first”. It is open to both professional and amateur cyclist The race is UCI accredited. Professional teams (under-23 male road cyclists) from across Africa competed for points as part of the 2019 UCI Africa Tour. The 100 Cycle Challenge isn’t just for cyclists, supporters had a blast too! There was live music, crazy comedy, great food, kiddies’ entertainment and much more. The main beneficiary of the 100 Cycle challenge is Race The Future, Cycling South Africa’s national development plan. Each entry into the 100 Cycle Challenge will go towards funding this initiative. The 100 Cycle Challenge also endorses Support SA Talent, a project aimed at developing platforms that raise funds to enable talented cyclists to compete at national and international levels. Kim le Court defended her 100 Cycle Challenge title when the second edition of the event finished in Germiston. “I’m extremely happy about winning today,” said Le Court, who beat Maroesjka Matthee and Joanna van de Winkel into second and third place respectively. “It’s been a long time coming and

defending my title is a good feeling,” said the Demacon-Max Wax rider, who added that her team had been “amazing” on the day. Le Court said she loved the 100km route, which kicked off at the Germiston Lake. “I was a little nervous though, but for every race it’s the same.” She added that her toughest competitors were Sanet Coetzee and Tiffany Keep. “I was nervous about them, but mostly my biggest competitor is myself. I want to always be better than what I think I am.” Congratulations to Kinetic Pro Cycling Ben Fish for placing 11th in the UCI Elite event at the 100 Cycle Challenge 2019! Well done to all that participated in the race. All riders pushed their absolute hardest.
