Team UD Trucks took first place at the inaugural John

Robbie Invitational in support of Crime Line, which was held at the Country Club Johannes-burg in Woodmead on Thursday. 94.7 Highveld Stereo’s, Darren Simpson and Sky-net’s teams came in sec-ond and third respectively. Daniel Slabbert of the South African Disabled Golf Asso-ciation (SADGA) was nearest to the pin, while Henk Roets of team Minopex received the prize for the longest drive. Crime Line is an anonymous crime tip-off service which was launched in 2007 as a tool for members of the public to blow the whistle on crime. The proceeds of the golf day will go towards the recently established Crime Line Foun-dation Trust in a bid to con-tinue and broaden the efforts

of the tip-off service in curb-ing crime in South Africa. Talk Radio 702 breakfast host, John Robbie, an avid sup-porter of Crime Line, gave his name to the golf day, which will now be an annual event on the CSI calendar. John also led his own team on the course, which in-cluded Samsung Vice-Pres-ident, George Ferreira and golf pro, Nico van Rensburg. Hilarity ensued as Simpson tweeted that he sent a tip-off to Crime Line’s 32211 SMS number which read: “Dear Crime Line. I would like to report a crime. I have solid evidence that John Rob-bie is cheating in his Golf Day. Please resolve this before 5pm today. Place of Crime is Country Club Johannesburg,” he texted tongue-in-cheek. Head of Crime Line, Yusuf

Abramjee, responded to the tweet and assured Simpson that his claims would be investigated. National Police Commis-sioner, General Riah Phiyega attended the prize-giving cer-emony, following an amazing day of golf and fine weather, to pledge her support in strength-ening the partnership between the South African Police Ser-vice (SAPS) and Crime Line. She thanked the business com-munity for their generous sup-port of the golf day, saying that “safety and security is not just a policing issue, it is a soci-etal issue and concerns us all.” During the prize-giving DSTV announced that it would do-nate R1-million in airtime for Crime Line, while Ministry of Illusion in turn pledged that it would assist with the production of a TV advert. Abramjee in turn called on

members of the public to con-tinue sending tip-offs to Crime Line and its partner Crime Stop. “If you see something, say something. Send your anony-mous tip-offs to 32211 or call Crime Stop on 08600 10111. You can also submit tip-offs on-line at www.crimeline.co.za.” Abramjee also announced that registration for the much an-ticipated Crime Stoppers In-ternational (CSI) Conference will open on the 23rd of April. “The CSI conference is com-ing to the African continent, and indeed South Africa, for the first time. We can assure you that it is going to be the biggest and best conference in the history of CSI. Let’s all come together to showcase our country and to find sustainable solutions to our collective ef-forts to curb crime,” he added.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxterrefused to concede that the title is all but lost following his team's 1-0 loss to Mpumalanga Black Aces on Wednesday at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.The loss meant Chiefs dropped down to sec-ond, three points adrift of Mamelodi Sundowns, as they beat Bloemfon-tein Celtic 1-0 in Pretoria."No its not all lost," said Baxter."But we are making it dif-ficult for ourselves, aren't we? Two 1-0 defeats at

home, that's not the form of a team that has aspirations to win the championship."Chiefs do have a game in hand over Sundowns, and Baxter believed his side would have to be more ruth-less in the remaining match-es if they are to lift the title."In terms of mathemat-ics, it's still a long way to go but we will have to play and show a lot more char-acter than that," said Baxter."We have to apply the killer touch a lot more bet-ter than we did tonight."The Amakhosi mentor said his charges gave away the game to Aces by deviat-

ing from the game plan and losing concentration."I don't think we showed the quality in terms of the technical and mental game to wrestle the game away from Aces," said Baxter."We lost our discipline in the finish and if they didn't score it would have been 0-0."Because of a lack of dis-cipline, we lost our shape and they got the goal, but that's part of the game, and you have to bite the bullet."Black Aces coach Clive Barker, meanwhile, hailed the character of his players."It's wonderful, mar-

vellous. What a perfor-mance," said Barker."They hung in there even when things were tough out there and Chiefs were on top. The boys held on and squeezed something out of it."It's fantastic for the team, the owners and the supporters."Despite the win, Barker said he was disap-pointed by how both teams fluffed chances on the night."I thought there was going to be a lot of goals and I was disappointed by both sides, particularly in the first half."I thought we were a bit pedestrian.

For our country’s transition from apartheid rule to de-mocracy, an interim constitution was negotiated between representatives of organisations involved in the libera-tion struggle, represented political parties and other interested groups.

After the first democratic elections on 27 April 1994, members of the National Assembly and Senate, as the elected public representatives at the time, met as a body called the Constitutional Assembly to write a new Constitution. In 1996, after two years of public consulta-tion and much debate, the new Constitution was finally adopted.

The Constitution is a law agreed by the people’s repre-sentatives that sets out how the state will be constituted and run, our rights and responsibilities as citizens and the creation of particular Institutions to support and safeguard our democracy.

Our Constitution also lays the foundation for an open society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights and is hailed worldwide as very progressive. It is the supreme law of our country and ensures government by the people under the Con-stitution. In other words, the Constitution is the highest law of the land and everyone must act according to its provisions and principles, even Parliament.

Because we are a Constitutional State, all laws made by Parliament must pass the test of constitutionality. So Par-liament has to ensure at all times that the laws it makes are in keeping to the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

Fellow South Africans,Ladies and gentlemen of the media,I am pleased to join you on Af-rica Day, as we conclude our transition to a new administra-tion following the fifth national general elections.I announced on Saturday that we have entered the second phase of our transition to a national democratic society.

Ladies and gentlemen,We have made an undertaking to significantly improve the provision of water and sanita-tion to our communities in the new term.In this regard, we have estab-lished the Ministry of Water and Sanitation.You will recall that we stated in the inauguration address that the economy will take centre-stage.

The Alexandra Renewal Project (ARP) is fundamentally chang-ing the physical, economic and social environment of Alexandra Township in South Africa. It is a joint urban regeneration project between all three tiers of Government, the private sector, NGO’s and community-based organisations.

If the number of people who turned up on May 07 to cast their votes is anything to go by, South Af-

rica is truly a maturing democracy and a better place to live.Let me begin my message by thanking you, the peo-ple of Alexandra and readers of your favourite com-munity newsletter for responding in large numbers to a clarion to visit your local voting stations so as to help our government strengthen our democracy. The 2014 General Elections have been to a large ex-tent declared “free and fair” is reports from observ-ers, both foreign and local, who gave a thumbs up for country running elections that were not marred in any major controversies nor violence. If anything, what was experienced across the coun-try was an encouraging sign that our country is on a growth trajectory that is premised on the “will of the people”. Despite the emergence of new politi-cal parties, which many doomsayers predicted will complicate the process and lead to chaos, that un-fortunate scenario never, came to the fore. Although the party I represent lost 10% of voters in Gauteng by garnering 52% of votes available, National we did not do that badly as the ANC achieved just over 62% of the National vote. The statistics don’t lie; they indicate that our people have given the ruling party a stamp of approval and legitimacy to rule an-other 5 years.

By the time you receive your June edition of your local read, the new Gauteng Provincial Leadership would have been announced by his Excellency, President Jacob Zuma and the ANC Provincial Executive Council. We will continue to provide you information in this regard and also seek to publish profiles of the new leadership in various media platforms, in-cluding Alex Pioneer.Once again, thank you for ensuring that your voice was registered along with mil-lions others who voted on the 7th May.

ed transport minister.In this portfolio, he faced severe criti-cism, most notably for e-tolling in Gauteng.He was moved to the correctional services department in 2012.Ben Martins took over from Ndebele as trans-port minister in 2012, but after another Cabi-net reshuffle in 2013, he was moved to energy.Lulu Xingwana, for-mer women, children and people with dis-abilities minister, served

as minister in three portfolios before be-ing given the chop. Before being appoint-ed in her portfolio in 2010, she served as arts and culture minis-ter for just over a year. Prior to this she served as agriculture and land affairs minister.Perhaps the least surpris-ing move by Zuma was to drop Paul Mashatile - a vocal opponent of Zuma during the ANC’s 2012 Mangaung conference. Despite being Gauteng

ANC chairperson, he will have to live with being an ordinary MP within the ruling party.Connie September will be remembered as hav-ing one of the short-est stints as a minister. She served 10 months as human settlements minister, after replac-ing Tokyo Sexwale.The eight former minis-ters were all sworn in as ordinary MPs last week.It remains to be seen whether they will be rewarded with senior positions in Parliament.The ANC has yet to announce its choice for committee chairs, among others.

1.IntroductionIn today’s world there are large companies which con-sist of more people and have more financial resources than some government depart-ments. Companies can have a big impact on the lives of citizens and one can no lon-ger disregard the role which such companies can play, or the positive impact they can have, if they act correctly.In the past, it was generally accepted that the only function of a company was to make a profit for its shareholders. However, in current times, there is a definite shift away from this view and people believe that there is an obli-gation on companies to per-form some action which goes beyond “making money”. 2. So what exactly is “corpo-rate social responsibility”?It seems that there is no one correct definition which is accepted universally, but in order to give a basic under-standing, corporate social re-sponsibility or “CSR” can be defined as “a business behav-ing ethically to promote social as well as economic develop-ment and welfare, for their workforce, society at large as well as the environment, both now and in the future”.Although it may seem like a mouthful, in summary it means that companies should be accountable to the com-munity and environment in which they operate and cannot simply do as they please without consideration.3.The importance of CSRWhy is it so important that companies be accountable? Firstly, companies form an integral part of our lives and affect our actions without us even knowing it. Secondly as people are expected to act in a certain way, and as compa-nies live and breathe in so-ciety, they too should be re-quired to act in a certain way.

They should not only focus on what is good for them, but what is for the greater good.There are many benefits of CSR for all involved parties including for:• the company: being more attractive to employees, in-vestors and society at large;• the community: char-ity to the community and safer products; and• the environment: greater use of renewable sources and better product dura-bility and functionality. 4. CSR in South AfricaAn example of how doing “good” in business is no longer an option but a requirement is illustrated in terms of the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (the “Companies Act”), which requires certain compa-nies to establish a Social and Ethics Committee (“SEC”).Whether a company is re-quired to establish such a committee depends on a few factors including the size of its workforce, its annual turnover and the nature and extent of its activities. Every state-owned company and listed public company as well as other com-panies set out in the Companies Act must establish an SEC. The functions of an SEC are set out in regulation 43(5) to the Companies Act and include monitoring a company’s activ-ities including in relation to:• promotion of equality, preven-tion of unfair discrimination, and reduction of corruption;• contribution to development of the communities in which its activities are predomi-nantly conducted or within which its products or services are predominantly marketed;• record of sponsorship, dona-tions and charitable giving;• the environment, health and public safety, including the im-pact of the company’s activities and of its products or services;• consumer relationships, in-cluding the company’s ad-

vertising, public relations and compliance with con-sumer protection laws; and• l a b o u r and employment.Another example in the Com-panies Act of where CSR is important can be seen in the purposes of such act. In terms of section 7(d), one of the pur-poses of the Companies Act is to “reaffirm the concept of the company as a means of achieving economic and social benefits”. This is mirrored in section 7(b)(iii) which states that another purpose of the Companies Act is to promote the development of the South African economy by inter alia encouraging transparency and high standards of corporate governance as appropriate, given the significant role of en-terprises within the social and economic life of the nation.This is a very important step towards promoting CSR and is now entrenched in South African law.5.ConclusionOne thing is now clear, that CSR, in the South African company law context, can no longer be considered as a vol-untary obligation by a compa-ny and it is now a requirement. Many domestic and interna-tional organisations do al-ready subscribe to CSR initia-tives. This indicates a growing trend globally of big compa-nies who recognise the im-portance of CSR in business.This represents a shift from the conventional thought process of “maximisation of profits” and moves to-wards a more humanitar-ian movement, which is much needed in the world today.ENSafrica’s pro bono of-fices in Alexandra and Mitch-ell’s’ Plain form part of the firm’s CSR activities, and residents of Alexandra are encouraged to make use of the firm’s free legal services.

The pretty, preppy, ballad-sing-ing trio, who participated in the Coca-Cola Popstars competition on television eight years ago, have gone the raunchy route, fol-lowing in the footsteps of Rihan-na, Britney Spears and Beyoncé.At the launch of their fourth stu-dio album, Toxic Candy, held at Emperor’s Palace last Friday, the women and their six-piece back-ing band showed off their new, sexier look as they traded big vocal runs of earlier and current hits.The show began with the trio dressed in the Gert-Johan Co-etzee evening gowns they wear on their album’s cover photo-graph. But then came leather out-fits and suggestive dancing and, on Can’t get Enough, they might have left parents wishing they had left their kiddies behind.Previous hits, including Love Me For Me and Butterflies, re-ceived big cheers, which perhaps suggests that Jamali’s fans are more comfortable swaying to the big ballads rather than kinky pop stompers. Either way, these women have earned their stripes - and for that they can go as skimpy as they like.

Assembly MPs were sworn in on Wednesday -- some returning after two decades in the legislature, others like Julius Malema, taking up their seats for the first time.Chief Justice Mogoeng Mo-goeng called MPs to take the oath or solemn affirma-tion in groups of 10, with the first including President Jacob Zuma, ANC deputy president Cyril Ramapho-sa, Justice Minister Jeff Radebe, and Home Affairs Minister Naledi Pandor.The next group included Fi-nance Minister Pravin Gord-han, who is widely expected to return to his portfolio when Zuma announces his

Cabinet on Sunday, after Tito Mboweni withdrew from the ruling party’s list of MPs.Zuma will remain an MP for only a few hours before be-ing formally elected presi-dent for a second term by members of the Assembly.His former political pro-tégé turned foe Malema was sworn in along with nine oth-er members of his Economic Freedom Fighters, who hold 25 seats in the chamber after winning six percent of the vote in the May 7 elections.Malema and his colleagues wore red boiler suits to symbolise their stated aim of representing the poor. But most MPs chose formal attire such as

suits for the ceremony.The Democratic Alli-ance’s Mmusi Maimane was sworn in amid intense speculation that though he has no experience in the legislature, he will replace Lindiwe Mazibuko as the party’s parliamentary leader.Another new DA MP was former prosecutor Glyn-nis Breytenbach, who joined the official opposi-tion after a bruising labour dispute with the National Prosecuting Authority.Before the sitting began, hugs, kisses, and hand-shakes were comfortably exchanged in the Assem-bly as MPs took their seats.Animated conversations took place between ANC MPs -- more than 60 per

CHAKA CHAKA ADDS RAP TO HIT-MAKING FORMULA

But the Princess of Africa, who hosted a listening ses-sion for her 22nd album, Amazing Man, in Rosebank, Johannesburg, yesterday, said they “always want me to add flavour” to her mu-sic. This time she’s relented, collaborating with young rappers Zuluboy and Reason on tracks.Not much else has changed

in terms of the songwriting process between her debut in 1984 and this album.“What has changed is that our music doesn’t get the airplay that it deserves,” she told The Times yesterday. “But for me nowadays it’s not just about selling music - I want to inform people and conscientise them about what’s happening.”She refused to rank the new album, which is out in stores

already, against her previous works, and just hoped “peo-ple will be receptive to it”.Chaka Chaka first hit the South African music charts as a teenager with the hit I’m in Love with a DJ. She followed it up with Um-qombothi four years later, which is still a favourite among her legions of fans in Marabastad, Pretoria, Nai-robi in Kenya and Nigeria’s Lagos.

The reappointment of Angie Motshekga as basic educa-tion minister was welcomed by the Federation of Gov-erning Bodies of SA Schools (Fedsas) on Monday.“Minister Motshekga was the first education minister who was prepared to admit to mistakes and attempts to make improvements,” said Fedsas CEO Paul Colditz.Colditz said in view of the progress made in education in South Africa during the past few months, Motshekga’s re-appointment was welcomed.

During her first term, Fed-sas was involved in a num-ber of task teams to tackle problems in education.“Continuity is important in education. A new direc-tor general for education has to be appointed which makes it even more impor-tant that there is a top gov-ernment official who can be held accountable in terms of plans and policy that have been implemented or will be implemented soon.”Colditz said although Mot-shekga’s first term was char-

acterised by controversy there were also examples of good leadership and initiative.“We want to build on this,” said Colditz.Fedsas was committed to co-operation and dia-logue with the ministry.“We will continue to rep-resent the interests of our members because the only goal of all role-players in ed-ucation should be the inter-ests of our children,” he said.Fedsas is a voluntary as-sociation representing about 1 700 public schools school governing bodies.

MALEMA SHRUGS OFF POSSIBILITY OF LOS-ING PARLIAMENT SEAT OVER TAX CASE

“I am in Parliament at least for the next five years,” he told the Sun-day Times newspaper.“You have to live with that nightmare for the next five years.”In an interview, Malema said he did not see the possibility of having to give up his seat.“I think it is safe to say all has been taken care of”.Malema said that in terms of what steps he would take to settle an outstand-ing R16 million tax bill, “for now, I don’t think they’re of serious concern”.Speaking about himself in the third person, Malema said, “... Julius Malema leav-ing as leader of the EFF. I am saying it will never happen.”On Friday, Malema’s law-

yer Tumi Mokwena said his client would oppose a final sequestration of his estate.Malema has until 10am on Monday to give the High Court in Pretoria reasons why his provisional sequestration should not be made final.A final sequestration or-der would affect Malema’s political career, as he will not be allowed to serve as a Member of Parliament.In April, a trust was launched to collect funds to settle his R16 million SA Revenue Service (Sars) bill, but it is not clear if the trust has se-cured enough funds to help the firebrand Economic Freedom Fighters leader.According to court docu-ments, Malema owed R16m plus interest after fail-

ing to submit tax returns between 2006 and 2010.This week, Malema, wear-ing a red overall and gum-boots, was sworn in as an MP in the first sitting of the fifth democratic Par-liament in Cape Town.On Sunday, Malema said that the presence of his newly formed political party would ensure Parliament was “robust” and “exciting”.“We will make our radi-cal proposals and we will firmly put the EFF eco-nomic agenda on the table,” he told the Sunday Times.However, he said that he was “not an enter-tainer”, but a politician.“Parliament is not a circus,” he said.

Soccer laduma addi-tional writing by: Wellington NobeleThe 37-year-old Nwankwo Kanu was in the country to take part in the 20213/14 ABSA PSL awards cer-emony respectively.ABSA had secured the services of Kanu who is also a Nigerian star, added to the glitz and glamour of the ABSA PSL awards ceremony that saw the PSL’s players and coach-es recognised for their ef-forts over the last season.Kanu, who represented Nigeria at all levels, is a former African Footballer of the Year and also has won the UEFA Cham-pions League, UEFA Cup, English Premier League, FA Cup and an Olympic gold medal.Upon his arrival, Kanu visited Alexandra’s Foot-ball for Hope centre to in-spire young aspiring soc-cer players to persist in their sporting careers as this could be their oppor-tunity to become prospect professionals that would represent their country at international level. It makes me happy to be

surrounded by ambitious young, energetic and vi-brant people like your-selves. I come from a dis-advantaged background were soccer was the only hope for success. Khanu said with great emotion. He also went further to say, your passion is a bea-con of hope to the African tournament. The Nigerian star said in conclusion.When asked how he feels about the abduction of more than 200 school girls in his country, he explained that we all need to pray for the safe return of these girls as a number of countries are doing all they can to help the Nigeria find the girls.On the 18th May, Khanu presented the Player’s player of the year award worth R150 000 which was won by Bidvest Wits midfield “General” Si-busiso Vilakazi who also walked away with the Footballer of the Season award which carries R250 000 and the Nedbank Cup Player of the Tourna-ment award worth R150 000 – banking a total of R550 000 in one night
