WORDS OF INSPIRATION

www.pioneernews.co.za

“ALWAYS REMEMBER : The greatest gift you ever own is not found in the shops or under your Christ-mas tree. It is found in the hearts of your family and your true friends.” Unknown

emony happened recently at the Central Johannesburg College; spearheaded by the Agisanang Domestic Abuse Prevention and Training (ADAPT) that introduced “Best Fathers’ Project” competition in 2007 with

the theme “Fathers are Par-ents too”. “We introduced this project as a way of high-lighting men as role models in our communities who of-ten go unnoticed, because believingly, not all men are irresponsible. Based on this initiative, we then vis-ited schools, requesting girl learners between the ages of 12-16 to write essays on why they think their fathers are the best,” said ADAPT Chief Executive Director, Irene Khumalo. Khumalo said they received a total of

206 essays from Realogile and Kwa-Bhekilanga High Schools for this year, which she said was a sign of growth in the project as compared to 2007 where they received 12 essays and got102 in 2008 from the five high schools. She said they are the first organization to introduce such a project and is currently hosted within Alexandra only, further cit-ing: “We intend taking it nationally if we could have sufficient funds to do so.” The selection process was

handled by a Criterion for determining good fathers, Ngila Michael Muendane who said: “It was not easy to come with the best essay, but we had the criteria that we applied in selecting the best essays and it was based on expectations that are on values, and if they cover four dimensions of life such as Material or Physi-cal, Mental or Intellectual, Spiritual and Emotional. If he covers three of them, is a truly great father.”

Dear Reader,

God was so good to us in South Africa by giving us Nel-son Mandela to be our president at a crucial moment in our history. He inspired us to walk the path of forgive-ness and reconciliation and so South Africa did not go up in flames.

Nearly seven decades spent fighting for freedom and equality, Nelson Mandela inspired and challenged the world to stand up for others. As word of Mandela’s death spread, current and former presidents, athletes and entertainers, and people around the world spoke about the life and legacy of the former South African leader.

The United Nation’s top human rights official, Navi Pillay recalled how Mandela’s release from prison trig-gered a “thirst for revenge” among his supporters but that he emphasized forgiveness over vengeance. “He told us to throw our spears and guns into the sea. He showed us that a better future depended on reconcilia-tion, not revenge.”

As South Africans, let us live Mandela’s message of continuing the struggle against social injustice and for human rights.

Lala ngoxolo, Tata Madiba!, You will always be in our hearts.

In the memorandum the resi-dents demanded that the old structure be transformed into a Multipurpose Centre, School, Library, EMS Fire Station, Youth Centre and Early Childhood Centre.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

The year 2013 has brought us many challenges at a provin-cial government as well as at departmental level. We have witnessed sporadic incidents of violent protests marches in some parts of the province which are related to service delivery.

Despite our budgetary constraints, the Gauteng Depart-ment of Human Settlements managed to deliver housing and housing opportunities to many families in the province. In the Alexandra community we have relocated families from old hostel structures to newly renovated community residential units. We are currently in the process of rolling out similar campaigns in all other hostels in the province. Discussions are currently underway with government officials, hostel residents, and members of the surrounding community on what would be the best model to integrate local residents who have shown an interest in some of the units.

This integration is crucial for the formation of sustainable human settlements. It does away with the historic legacy of “us and them” that prevailed between hostel residents and local community members during Apartheid. I sincerely hope that this Christmas will foster new relations amongst families that have relocated to their new homes. Enjoy your hard earned break from work and share great moments with family and friends. For many people all over the world, Christmas is a time upon which we reflect on our lives and celebrate the birth of Christ. Twenty years into our democracy, I hope that my department and officials have done enough over the past 11 months to improve and change the lives of ordinary citizens in our province. The ANC led government has delivered over 800 000 housing opportunities to millions of our people.

To those families in Alexandra who have taken occupancy of their new homes, please look after them, cherish them and treat them as a treasure you can bequeath to your children. Security of tenure restores one’s dignity and it is the biggest investment that most people will ever make in their entire lives. A property worth R 50 000 today will be worth an estimated R 500 000 over the next 20 years or more given the rate at which government delivered housing is currently valued in the market. Property ownership is a sure bet to secure your future and that of your children.

So here is wishing you a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR ALEX!!!

has sharpened my dancing skills and has instilled more confidence within me when-ever I take to the stage. I see the dance as my career and trained for one year at Mov-ing Into Dance and worked with them for a year before moving to Vuyani where I worked for two years.” He said he is currently work-ing for a newly established company called Dance Un-limited in Joburg as a train-er. “I would like to have my own company in the next five years to help people who want to learn more about the administrative part of dancing and its lo-gistics.” Bongani said he is currently running free class-es at Thusong Youth Cen-tre on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and has more than 25 trainees. Bongani encouraged youth to get an education, adding: “Nothing comes on a platter.”

initiated by the Department of Arts and Culture and is part of preparation for the big carnival events that we used to host every year. We use such events to celebrate the diversity of all nations. All regions host mini car-nivals to choose the best groups that will compete nationally at the big carni-vals,” said the event coor-dinator, Johanna Choma.

Choma said they invited all the wards to be represented, and the groups that partici-pated were the Basotho, Mapantsula, Gamboots, Brass Band, Church choirs and the Zulu group. “The chosen groups for the big carnival will have to show-case other African coun-tries’ traditional attires, dances and songs of which our group will stage the

Burkina Faso traditional at-tires, dance and songs. The awards will be presented according to municipali-ties.” MMC for Public Safety, Sello Lemao who handed over the awards to the Isikokela Zulu Dancers said: “The City of Johan-nesburg hosted the first car-nival in 2004 and this has provided an opportunity

in positioning the Carnival into an event with greater cultural significance and a broader community im-pact. The Carnival pro-gramme goes together with the City’s vision to create a livable city with a livable community, embracing so-cial cohesion and citizenry participation.” He said the main purpose of hosting such events is

to highlight the relevance of cultural diversity and showcasing events amongst the communities of Johan-nesburg. “As from 2013, the City of Joburg has part-nered with Gauteng Prov-ince and the Local Coun-cils of Gauteng to integrate the 2013 Carnival under the theme “Celebrating Af-rica’s Legacy,” concluded MMC Lemao.

Born and bred in Alex-andra twenty-five years

ago, Bongani Luhanga start-ed his Afro-Contemporary Dance in 2007, believing that to be a dancer, can tell more stories without saying anything. He said that many people don’t see the danc-ing as a career and would like to change the mindset, especially of young people. After passing my matric at Alexandra High, I decided to train for this dance, and without any time wasting, started to attend free train-ing sessions at Moving into Dance at Newtown and Vuyani Dance in Joburg. I saw a gap in dancing be-cause everyone wants to be an artist, and it is so hard to crack it.” He said in 2010, he hosted a concert with world renowned art-ists including Alicia Keys, Shakira and R. Kelly. “This

love and care for the chronic and terminally ill patients in Alexandra celebrated the World Aids Day on 1 De-cember 2013 jointly with Re-gion E health workers, Tradi-tional Healers and Faith and the medical Dr Moyagabo Mabitsi from Soweto. The day was celebrated under the theme “In Memory of our Loved Ones”. The centre’s Director Grace Marutlulle said: “The main objective of the day was to remember those who have passed on and also to celebrate with our patients jointly with their families.” She said they have lost ten patients to date, add-ing; “Today we are lighting candles for them and we called on the public to get rid of the HIV stigmatiza-tion and start treating the dis-ease like any other illness.” Marutlulle further said that they also have patients from different provinces because of the stigmatization. In her keynote address, Dr Mabitsi congratulated the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Mot-soaledi for introducing a

3-in-one tablet that is taken once a day than three times a day. “There were no ARVs in the year 2000 and were only available in 2004. As we commemorate our loved ones, we also celebrate our achievement as the gov-ernment for the provision of HIV/Aids treatment.” She appealed to the fami-lies to help their patients to take the medication as pre-scribed. Mabitsi said they don’t expect new infections as people are now aware of the consequences of ignor-ing their health responsibili-ties, and in the same breath encouraged men to go for circumcision that she said is now available throughout the year. Traditional Healer and Faith representative, Meisie Pinaar explained: “As the healers we don’t discourage people to stop taking their medical treatment, and we call on patients to provide us with the names of the healers who tell them to stay away from their treatment. We dis-pute that as traditional heal-ers because we work jointly with the clinics, referring our clients there for further check-ups and medical treat-ment transcription.”

Thata Mam’ Ruby! Generations’ shebeen

queen Ruby Dikobe taught Phenyo a lesson of a life time. They don’t call her a shebeen queen for noth-ing. You strike Ruby, you get okapi on your throat! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, the old Zodwa is starting to creep out of the closet and Akhona is the target. If she is not careful, Zodwa will send Akhona six feet under for her “soul mate” Nic. Sello was starting to walk on my last nerve and thanks to S’busiso for putting him in his place. But hey, I should not be mistaken for suggest-ing that S’busiso is starting to get into my right books, no, I would really like to see him rot in jail, that’s where he belongs. Can somebody please get rid of Rhythm City’s Stella? This woman irritates me and everyone around her and we can’t stand one more sight of her. I blame Miles for all this non-sense. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have to deal with this woman. Him and Lucil-la were a perfect couple until the deep river was unruffled by conflicts. Until Suffocate starts to see Nicky for the devil she really is, his prob-lems won’t end. Haike, will I ever breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to Isidingo’s scandal-prone Sibeko fam-ily? I may not like her rude attitude but I strongly de-spise the manner in which Jeff handled Ice princess, Katlego. Jeff must pay for what he did to Katlego. I was never fooled by Rajesh and Barker’s friendship, if that’s a friendship, from scratch. It was nothing but a union of convenience, no wonder everything is falling apart. Muvhango’s Thate is on fire! It doesn’t come as a surprise to me that vho-Makhadzi chose Mulalo as the regent. It is no secret vho-Makhadzi also wants to be the chief, so with Mulalo as captain of the ship, Makhadzi is at the better place to use her power to advance her agenda. Let’s hope Mulalo’s new title won’t give Teboho ammu-nition to go around pulling trigger on her enemies. As for Vele, game over darling; you got beaten at your own game. Khomotjo is the bas-tard I love to see, and may heavenly God be with Thuli because Khomotjo means business, no one messes with her and gets away with it.

Gossip insider!

Alexandra is at a still stand, young and

old queue outside to get a glimpse of their favourite celebrities before making their grand entrance into the venue. Inside, everything is white, except for the red carpet. The decor is over-whelmingly stunning and a majority of the guests hon-oured the “All white tropi-cal party” theme. Suddenly, there is a hullabaloo of noise from outside sparked by the arrival of Candy Mokwena, made famous by the hit song “Tsa Mandebele”. Speaking to Alex Pioneer, Candy said “I feel honoured to have been invited to come and perform for C-ga on his spe-cial day.” “When I got the invite through my manager, at first I thought it was a joke but here I am today, set and ready to perform for C-ga

Alexandra and I’m quite happy people are enjoying themselves,” he added. Fol-lowing his 8 month break from the lime light, C-ga is poised to make a come-back on television. “Soon I will be appearing on one of the popular television sta-tions in the country, people better watch out for that,” he shared. Even though he wished to remain mum about the character he will be playing, C-ga nonethe-less emphasized that “I don’t do cameo roles anymore. I paid my dues.” Some of the celebrity figures who came through include the likes of Omuhle Gela of Muvhango, DJ Blade, Neo Soulsta of Velvet Suite Lounge and of course C-ga’s girlfriend, Kiki Marli.

Barely three weeks after the end of their remuneration strike, Generations’ actors are reportedly back on strike, again- and this time actors of the most watched soap opera in the country allege that their boss is under the influence of “white people”. Signature faces of the likes of Menzi Ngubane, Sophie Ndaba, Katlego Danke, Zenade Mfenyane et al, who participated in the previous strike have apparently not received their November remuneration. As from Febru-ary 2014, SABC 2 flagship soapie, Muvhango, will air five days a week. Currently Muvhango plays from Monday to Thursday at 21:00. Muvhango is the leading programme on SABC 2 in terms of viewership.

and all his guests.” Candy expressed her excitement over the fact that she’ll be performing for the people of Alexandra, who, according to her, are her source of sup-port in her musical career.When asked if her signature tune “Tsa Mandebele” will be part of the set list, Candy replied: “I mean, of course. These people will bury me alive if I don’t sing that song.” After hours of going up and down, making sure everything is in order, C-ga finally spared us a few min-utes to talk about the party.“I’m quite happy with how things turned up today. As anticipated, this party proved to be a success, sur-passing the other two previ-ous parties.” “My team and I worked hard to organize everything. I’m the first to organize a beach party in

Silent night, holy night.All is calm, All is bright

Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar;Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ja.

Christ the Savior is born.Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night.Wondrous star, lend thy light.

With the angels let us singAlleluia to our King.

Christ the Savior is here,Jesus the Savior is here.

Silent night, Holy night.Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord at thy birth;Jesus Lord at thy birth.
