The City of Johannesburg’s Migra-tion Services, in conjunction with

the Pastoral Care of the Catholic Arch-diocese of Johannesburg, Jesuit Refu-gee Services and the Bienvenu Shelter recently organised World Refugee Day commemorations at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Doornfontein, which was attended by hundreds of refugees and local residents. This year’s UN High Commission for Refugees’ (UNHCR) theme was: One Family Torn Apart by War is One Too Many. The Roman Catholic Church commemorated the day under the theme: Migrations: Pilgrimage of Faith and Hope. The delivery of former president Thabo Mbeki’s speech, I Am an African, which he oresented at the opening of parlia-ment in 1998, reverberated throughout the church. It was followed by perfor-mances by groups from the St Francis Parish, Khanyesa, Bienvenu Shelter,

Taryn Foley and Rwanda Community. UNHCR Regional Deputy Represen-tative Sergio Norena said of the 45.2 million people uprooted by confl ict, 15.4 million became refugees. “War is the dominant cause of dis-placement and the majority of refugees come from fi ve war-torn countries, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and Sudan. In the DR Congo and Central African Republic, displacement contin-ues and peace initiatives are not fruitful. In Colombia, there is however a sign of hope for 2.5 million people.” Norena said UNHCR’s global report highlighted that in 2012, about 7.6 mil-lion people became newly displaced around the world, and over 1.1 million of them became refugees. “With service delivery challenges in some of the poorest communities in South Africa, many South Africans would question whether this country could afford to accommodate refugees and asylum seekers.

Internal auditors and risk management offi -cials from various metros and municipali-

ties met in Johannesburg this week to recom-mit themselves to achieving the directives set by Operation Clean Audit 2014. Operation Clean Audit 2014 is an initiative that aims to assist Gauteng provincial depart-ments and municipalities to obtain clean au-

dits by 2014. As part of this initiative, munic-ipalities are being provided with assistance in compiling annual fi nancial statements. The Municipal Audit and Accounting Forum, hosted by the Gauteng Provincial Treasury, allowed open discussions and knowledge-sharing opportunities among delegates. Letlhogonolo Moroeng, the City of Johan-

nesburg’s acting Director of Internal Audit Services, explained how the metro already had plans in place to tackle identifi ed issues. “Some of the challenges we have identifi ed include the need for better coordination be-tween the Auditor-General and internal audi-tors. By so doing, we can be sure of improve-ments in our reporting,” he explained. Prakash Narismulu from the Offi ce of the Auditor-General said: “It is important for municipalities to have good controls to en-sure that reports from internal auditors and audit committees refl ect the current status.” Last year the Auditor-General Terence Nombembe said only 13 municipalities throughout the country received clean audits in the 2010-2011 fi nancial year.

Pat Kgomo has denied DA claims that some schools still do not have textbooks. Kgomo said MEC Dickson Masemola had sug-gested there might be some learners who might not be having books. “Not that there are no books in certain schools, but instead of 30 there might be 10 learners not having books,” Kgomo said. Earlier, DA MPL Desiree van der Walt said Masemola admitted to the Limpopo legislature, that there were still no textbooks in many schools as mid-year exams drew to a close. “This admis-sion comes amid denial from the offi cials of his department about the shortages of textbooks.” Schools were without books for seven months of the year in 2012. In January, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga described the Lim-popo textbook saga as ‘unfortunate’. She denied responsibility in the Limpopo textbook saga.

Bloemfontein - One of newly born twins has been stolen from the Thusanong Hospital in Odendaalsrus. Soon after the babies were born on Friday afternoon a woman is said to have come into the mother’s room and pretended to be a pregnant nursing student. The twins’ mother, Anna Sekota said the woman asked which mother had twins. She then told Sekota she had been asked by a nurse to fetch the baby boy, supposedly as a doctor wanted to compare the boy with another baby boy who had breathing problems. “I had no reason to distrust the woman and be-lieved my children were safe in the hospital. The woman stood in my room and turned her face, pretending to talk to the nurse in the corridor.” But when nursing staff came to discharge Seko-ta and her twins, they realised the baby boy was gone. Family spokesperson Johannes Sekota said either the woman pretended to be pregnant to get a child or she was pregnant with a girl and the child’s father wanted a boy. “The woman knew exactly what she was doing and what was going on at the hospital. How is it possible that something like this can happen? The hospital’s camera system works but the cameras are set in the wrong direction,” he said.

Johannesburg – On Monday about 200 mo-tor vehicles were involved in a drive-slow motorcade on the city’s highways in a Cosatu staged protest against e-tolling. Cosatu provincial secretary Dumisani Dak-ile said the event affected the N1 north, the N1 south, the N12 east, and the M1 north. Last month Cosatu staged a similar protest in Ekurhuleni. In April 2012 the Pretoria High Court granted the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance permission to ask for a judicial re-view of e-tolling. Sanral was interdicted from collecting e-toll fees, pending the outcome of the review. Sanral and the Treasury have ap-pealed the court order. In December the Pretoria High Court dis-missed the alliance’s application for the scrap-ping of e-tolling. In April, the National Roads Agency (Sanral) said it would begin e-tolling on Gauteng roads within two months.

E-tolling drive slow

Durban - The commission investigating the deaths of eight people at a fi tness test for Road Traffi c Inspectorate jobs resumed in Pieterma-ritzburg on Tuesday. In December eight people died after a four kilometre run at the Harry Gwala stadium, in a Road Traffi c Inspectorate’s job recruitment process. Over 34 000 people applied for the 90 posts, and 15 600 applicants attended the test on December 27, and a similar number on December 28. It was suspected that some died of dehydration. The commission, appointed by KZN Premier Zweli Mkhize, would determine the cause of deaths and injuries, the appropri-ateness of the recruitment process, whether contingency plans were there, and statutory requirements followed. It would investigate if there was negligence and suffi cient medical re-sources, refreshments and ablution facilities. Last month, the commission heard that a man who died, Ntuthuko Sibisi’s medical records showed he had acute renal impairment and his blood pressure was unrecordable, evidence leader Sithembiso Kunene said. Sibisi’s grand-mother, Thandiwe Sibisi, said he never report-ed health problems before the fi tness test.

Cape Town - A shack fi re at Site B in Khayelitsha left two people dead, and their bodies were burnt beyond recognition, said police. The deceased, Bongolwethu Nohashe, 31, and his girlfriend Sipokazi Ndamase, 25, both from the Eastern Cape, moved into the shack they were rent-ing in April, and both worked as security guards at the airport. Tumi Bonga, who rented the shack to the couple said she believed they died of smoke inhala-tion. “Around 4am my son said the house in front of ours was on fi re. We tried to kick the door open, but

we couldn’t, the shack was already in fl ames.” Bonga, 44, and her two children live directly across from the shack where the fi re began. When neigh-bour Nocawe Nkohla, 43, woke up, she heard some-one crying out in the shack next door. “They were still alive and burnt there while we were watching.” Her son, a student at UCT who would not be named, said all his clothes and textbooks were burned. Provincial police spokesman Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana said the cause of the fi re had not yet been es-tablished, and police were investigating the matter.

NoTICE IN TERMS oF ThE GAuTENG CITY IMPRoVEMENT DISTRICTS ACT No. 12 oF 1997

Industrial Action at the Johan-nesburg Social Housing Com-

pany (Joshco) was prompted by the lack of leadership at the municipal owned entity, and the refusal by the employer to bargain with organised labour on a number of issues. Organised labour presented items for discussion with the employer, however we deadlocked due to a lack of consensus from the employ-ers side. The following issues were raised and referred for Conciliation and Arbitration: Termination of con-tract with the Recruitment agencies in the company, Collectively agreed Conditions of Services, Fixed Term Contract workers, Salary Progres-sion, Employment of the CFO who resigned under a cloud of suspicion from previous employer, Recruit-ment process of Senior Manager Corporate Support. The industrial action will be ongo-ing and workers will tomorrow de-liver a Memorandum to the Offi ce of the MMC for Housing, Councillor Dan Bovu.Tahir SemaSAMWU Media and Publicity Offi cer

I join the rest of the country in sending condolences to the Na-

tional Police Commissioner Gen-eral Riah Phiyega on the tragic loss of Major General Tirhani Maswanganyi, who we are told worked tirelessly to clean up the Joburg central SAPS cluster, may his soul rest in peace. Police killings are a problem in the country. Last year alone Hill-brow police station lost more than four police offi cers, who were murdered in cold blood and dis-armed of their service pistols. May their souls rest in peace. The offi ce of the Premier in the

province Nomvula Mokonyane did not bother to issue a state-ment or walk the streets with the Hillbrow community, there was no word from the National Min-ister or the MEC for Community Safety, Faith Mazibuko. What message did this silence send to the criminals ? All police offi cers are equal in the eyes of the community, regardless of their ranks; we thus expect to see our leaders show this in their act of work. This brings us to another mat-ter - drugs - the President of the republic, Premier of the province,

again led by the MEC for Commu-nity Safety Faith Mazibuko, have suddenly found drugs a problem in Eldorado Park. The reality is - to the offi cials drugs are here and they are killing our communities and destroying the future of our glorious country. I intend in this piece to directly invite the MEC for Community Safety Faith Mazibuko to visit Berea, specifi cally Soper Road and Fife Street, to see drug ped-dlers in action. The drug problem - it’s a problem that cannot be ignored any further, it needs urgent intervention .

What message does the silence send?

Migrants die as boat sinksLibreville – Police have announced that 10 people drowned and 20 remain unaccounted for after a boat carrying migrants sank off the coast of Gabon. The boat had left Nigeria and was within 15 minutes of arriving in Libreville when it capsized on Tuesday. Gabonese authorities rescued 23 survivors and the search continues. A police spokesperson said survi-vors from Benin, Nigeria and Burkina Faso, claimed to have each paid the boat’s crew up to $1 000 to take them to Gabon, where they hoped to find jobs. The local press reported that the human traffickers attempted to extort more money from the immigrants, and threw those who could not pay overboard. Author-ities are investigating the cause of the sinking. Oil-rich Gabon’s relatively high wages for manual labourers have made the tiny nation a popular destina-tion for regional migrants. But entrance requirements are strict, pushing many to enter the country illegally, often using the dangerous sea route from Nigeria. At least 45 people died when a boat carrying 166 mi-grants bound for Gabon capsized off Nigeria in March.Some 35 people taking the same route died after their boat sank off the Cameroon coast in 2008.

Army warns protestersCairo - Army chief Gen Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has warned that the military will not allow the country to descend into ‘uncontrollable conflict’, ahead of planned protests by opponents of Islamist Presi-dent Mohammed Morsi. The warning is seen as one of the strongest in-terventions since the army handed over power to Morsi last year. Gen Sisi, who is also defence minister, said: “There is a state of division, and the continuation of it is a danger to the state. There must be consensus.” Egypt’s secular groups plan mass rallies ahead of the 30 June anniversary of President Morsi coming to power. They say they have gathered 13 million signatures on a petition calling for him to step down. On Friday, thousands of Morsi’s supporters marched in his support. Morsi’s first year in office has been marred by po-litical unrest and a sinking economy. Analysts say the instability and threat of violence have chased foreign investors and tourists.There is increasing unemployment, especially among the youth, fuel shortages and shrinking foreign currency reserves.

Nairobi - The International Criminal Court (ICC) has moved the trial of President Uhuru Kenyatta to 12 November, to give Kenyatta’s defence enough time to prepare for his trial. Kenyatta is accused of orchestrating violence af-ter the 2007 election, which he denies. The AU has called for the trial to be halted, saying the ICC is ‘hunting’ Africans, but the court refuses to drop the charges. The ICC said it rescheduled Kenyatta’s trial from after judges ruled that defence lawyers should be given more time to prepare for his trial, due to delays by prosecution in disclosing its evi-dence. Kenyatta is charged with crimes against humanity, including murder and rape. The ICC accuses him of being a co-perpetrator’ in violence that killed 1 200 people and left over 500 000 homeless after the disputed 2007 election. Kenyatta was elected president in March, beat-ing then-Prime Minister Raila Odinga by 50.07% to 43.28%. Kenyatta used the charges to bolster his campaign, accusing the ICC of interfering in Ke-nya’s internal affairs. Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto is due to go on trial in September on similar charges.

Govt’s heavy troop deploymentKinshasa - Government has deployed hundreds of soldiers along its frontier with M23 rebel territory. M23 spokesperson Rene Abandi said troops have been stationed on fronts in Mabenga and Butembo, Tongo and Giseguro in the North Kivu province. DRC army spokesman Col Olivier Amuli said: “We are only waiting for or-

ders from President Joseph Kabila to attack the rebels.” The crisis has forced thou-sands of people to live in refugee camps in Uganda and Rwanda while others languish in internal refugee camps near Goma city. South Africa has deployed troops in Goma, joining the Tanzanian contingent to form the UN Intervention Brigade (UNIB) to fight

Abuja - Islamic extremists have regrouped after a month long army crackdown and forced thousands of people from villages in the northeast. Witnesses said Boko Haram militants warned govern-ment workers to resign their jobs or face death. Police said the fighters were ransacking homes, forcing resi-dents to hide in caves in the hills. Soldiers and police on bombing raids with jet fighters and helicopter gunships have dislodged the insurgents from camps in a game reserve, but the fighters have re-grouped in the mountains of Gwoza and Bama districts. In recent days the extremists targeted schools, killing 16 high school students and two teachers in two attacks. The militants have also burned down 50 primary schools in the past year, according to Borno state education commissioner Tijjani Abba Ali. President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emer-gency followed by a security crackdown since May 14, but that has not crushed the extremists, who are blamed for killing over 1 600 people since 2010. Boko Haram and splinter groups seek an Islamic state in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous state and biggest oil producer.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for all countries

to obtain 100% of their supplies of blood and blood products from voluntary un-paid blood donors by 2020. The need for blood and blood products is increasing every year, and many pa-tients requiring life-saving transfusion do not have timely access to safe blood. In 2011, nearly 83 million blood dona-tions were collected worldwide from vol-untary unpaid blood donors, an increase of close to 8 million donations from 2004. The WHO Coordinator for Blood Transfusion Safety, Dr Neelam Dhingra said blood collection from voluntary non-remunerated blood donors is the

cornerstone of a safe and sufficient blood supply in all coun-tries. “More voluntary blood donors are needed to meet the increasing needs and to im-prove access to this life-saving therapy. Blood collection from voluntary non-remunerated blood donors is the corner-stone of a safe and sufficient blood sup-ply in all countries. More voluntary blood donors are needed to meet the increasing needs and to improve access to this life-saving therapy. Furthermore, the safety and quality of blood and blood products should never be compromised.” Regular voluntary unpaid blood donors are the safest source of blood as there are fewer bloodborne infections among

them, than from do-nations for money or for family members in emergencies. Cur-rently, 60 countries collect 100% of their blood supply from un-paid blood donors (35 are high-income coun-tries, 18 middle-income countries and seven low-income countries). Six of these countries have achieved this tar-

get from a percentage lower than 75% reported in 2004: Cook Islands (from 40%), Kenya (from 53%), Nicaragua (from 41%), Turkey (from 40%), United Arab Emirates (from 59%) and Zambia (from 72%). However, more progress is needed, with 73 countries still collect-ing more than 50% of their blood supply from replacement or paid donors. In low and middle-income countries, blood transfusion is usually given for the management of complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and treatment of severe childhood anaemia. In high-income countries, transfusion is most commonly used for supportive care in heart surgery, transplant surgery, trauma and cancer therapy. Providing safe and adequate supplies should be an integral part of every country’s national health care policy and infrastructure. WHO provides policy guidance and technical assistance to support countries in developing national blood systems based on voluntary unpaid blood dona-tions, and implementing quality systems to ensure that safe and quality blood and blood products are available and used ap-propriately for people who need them.

Bafana coach Gordon Igesund says he has shifted his focus

from the 2014 World Cup qualifi-ers to the Cosafa Cup competition which starts in Zambia on 6 July. The Cosafa Cup tourney returns after a three-year hiatus due to op-erational reasons. It brings together 30 southern Africa nations, with Zambia, Angola, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Ma-lawi as the top seeds. Zambia hosts the Cosafa Cup from July 6-20 at venues in Lusaka, Kit-

we and Ndola, where the final will be played at Levy Mwanawasa Sta-dium. Zimbabwe is the defending champion after winning the com-petition as hosts for a record fourth time in 2009. Igesund said he will give every player an equal chance to play in the Cosafa Cup, and will look at a few players from different teams. “In the next couple of days I’m going to identify players that I need from each club. I understand if cer-tain players cannot be released by the clubs, but we want the best pos-sible squad. If there are six players

I’d like to call up from a certain team, I’ll find out which of the play-ers the club can release. Working together we will get a strong team going to the tournament,” Igesund said. With Igesund hoping to get ma-jority of the players from the PSL teams, it remains to be seen how he will convince the newly appointed PSL CEO Brand De Villiers to al-low teams to release the players he requires. Igesund said the priority is to improve on the Fifa rankings, but he understands that can only be achieved if they start taking tourna-ment like these seriously. “Our priority is to ensure that we are in good standing on the FIFA rankings,” he said. Bafana can use this tournament to help them prepare for their final 2014 World Cup qualifier against Botswana in September, as there is a chance that they can still qualify for the playoff round. On Wednesday fans leaned that Ethiopia could lose three more points after fielding midfielder Minyahile Beyene against Bafana on June 16, raising eyebrows on whether Beyene should have played or not. Should the Walia Antelopes be docked six points, then Bafana would require a win against Bo-tswana in their final group match to qualify for the next round. Bafana could still qualify even if Ethiopia are docked three points that they gained against Botswana on June 8, if South Africa wins their final game and Ethiopia loses or draws with Central African Repub-lic. Fifa uses goal difference when two teams are tied on points at the end of the final round of matches.

Sasol and Safa have sealed a deal that will see Sasol stay

on board as the headline spon-sor of Banyana Banyana and the Sasol Women’s League. The deal sees the two groups cementing their partnership and carrying on the work they started four years ago, when Sasol came on board to sponsor the South African wom-en’s national team. Sasol and football have a his-tory dating back to the days of AmaGlug-Glug (South Africa’s Under-23 national team), and the company has been involved in the development of local football ever since. In the last four years Sasol has played a leading role in the de-velopment of women’s football, and has also been a key enabler of women empowerment through football, which is in line with the company’s position of supporting the South African campaign for gender equity. Sasol executive director Nolitha Fakude said in partnership with Safa, they are making a signifi-cant impact on developing wom-en in sport from the ground up. “Our players have done Sasol and South Africa proud as they have

continued to improve and show-case their talent on the global sporting stage.” The Sasol League has 144 teams nationwide, with each province having 16 teams. The League has afforded many players the op-portunity to further their studies at top tertiary institutions while still playing football. It has also brought communities together through sport and the support of women’s football has opened doors to new opportunities for women players. Safa president Kirsten Nematandani said the Sasol spon-sorship has played an integral role in women’s football. “It has allowed our ladies to par-ticipate in international competi-tions and that has helped develop the national team. We are excited by the renewal of the sponsorship as this allows us to extend the de-velopment opportunities to more female footballers and to contin-ue our work in women’s football. Our challenge to other corporate companies is to emulate the na-tion building spirit of Sasol.” The new deal will see Sasol stay on as the sponsor of the South African senior women’s nation-al soccer team and of the Sasol Women’s League until 2017.
