The Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court was once again buzzing with police activity on Monday 21 July as the case against Radovan Krejcir and his five co-accuseds, Desai Luphondo, Siboniso Miya, Samuel Maruping, George Nthoroane and Jan Mafokeng, went back to court after the trial was postponed earlier in June. Throughout the week the defence teams interrogated the evidence of state witnesses, with Annelene van den Heever and her team even constructing fake drug packages resembling those described by state witness Bhekizitha Khumalo.Khumalo testified on Tuesday about an exchange that took place while he was with Doctor (who was allegedly tasked with delivering a drug consignment to Australia) in Kempton Park. Khumalo alleged that he had driven with Doctor to a block of flats, where they picked up 25 packets of crystal methamphetamine which were packed into a black sports bag. In his testimony, Khumalo continued telling about how he and Doctor delivered the package off at an unknown house in an upper-class suburb, and how they had to meet with Desai Luphondo, who wanted the two to bring back the bag because Krejcir was fighting with him.

In questioning Khumalo, Annelene van den Heever tried to prove (with the fake drug construction) that it was not possible to fit 25 packages into a sports bag. Van den Heever also questioned Khumalo on the nature of his relationship with Doctor before the alleged drug exchange.Heated exchanges between Van den Heever and Judge Collin Lamont continued, with respect to an incident which led to Krejcir refusing to return to the courtroom after lunch on Tuesday 22 July. Judge Lamont had to delay proceedings after Krejcir refused to return to court, stating that security staff at the court had denied his wife access to the cells for the purpose of bringing him his food. Lamont warned court officials that Krejcir is diabetic and that it was unacceptable that he was denied food. The judge also warned Van den Heever that he would not tolerate her client’s behaviour. Krejcir and his co-accuseds are in court for allegedly kidnapping Bheki Lukhele (Doctor’s brother) from his Katlehong home and assaulting him with the intention of getting him to reveal the whereabouts of Doctor, who is believed to have disappeared with 25kg of crystal methamphetamine belonging to Krejcir.

Casual Day recently welcomed nine new ambassadors to raise awareness around the project and its aims. The launch, at which each ambassador signed a pledge to represent Casual Day, took place at the project’s offices in Edenvale. They are ready to ‘Bring out the Bling’ for the project’s 20th birthday.Casual Day is South Africa’s most successful fundraising project for persons with disabilities – and the amount raised last year was an impressive R24.8 million. Sponsored by The Edcon Group, Casual Day is the flagship project of the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in South Africa (NCPPDSA), which this year celebrates 75 years of service to the community of persons with disabilities.“Our ambassadors are persons with disabilities or people who have dedicated themselves to fighting for the rights of persons with disabilities,” project leader Celeste Vinassa said. “They speak from experience and knowledge about disability. It’s called ‘self-advocacy.’ They are all people who have overcome great adversity, and are now ready to help Casual Day with its evolution.” Casual Day changes lives, one R10 sticker at a time. Stickers are available from:

Edgars, Jet, JetMart, Boardmans, CNA, Red Square and Legit, Absa outlets, Game and DionWired stores, Shoprite and Checkers stores and Casual Day national office on 011 609 7006.

South Africa’s triple challenges have been identified by government, business leaders and members of civil society as unemployment, poverty and inequality. In addressing these challenges, education has been identified as one tool the country should use to overcome these challenges and ultimately achieve the objective of bettering the quality of life for all its citizens.This week tame TIME’s focus has been shifted from celebrating the legacy of our father and former president, Nelson Mandela, to highlighting and celebrating his legacy, which never neglected the youth and the impact education should have on their lives.“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” ― Nelson Mandela.Enjoy this week and don’t forget to send all your stories and notices to ndu@tametimes.co.zaStay Blessed

Not satisfied with robbing their victim of his cellphone and cash, four muggers recently added kidnapping to their charge sheet as well. The four men took their terrified victim to a house where they held him against his will and threatened him with death.Fortunately for him, one of the four suspects talked his three accomplices out of killing the man and he was released at 6am the next morning. Once freed, the man discovered that he had been held near the offices of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Equestrian Unit and immediately reported his ordeal to them. Members of the EMPD horse unit set off in hot pursuit of the four suspects and arrested them all,

also seizing seven cellphones and cash.After examination, the cellphones were discovered to be without SIM cards - which was an indication that they did not belong to the suspects. Investigations are still underway to find out how the cellphones ended up in their possession.

No horsing around for EMPD Equestrian

SWIFTLY APPREHENDED: The four arrested suspects, who are all in their mid-thirties, were booked in at the Crystal Park police station on charges of robbery, assault and kidnapping.

On 22 July Michele Clarke, DA spokesperson on Community Safety, asked oral questions of the MEC of Community Safety regarding the recently noted partnership between SANRAL and Gauteng Traffic Police at roadblocks in the province. The MEC admitted that SANRAL has no official mandate at these roadblocks and that they play only a supportive role by providing advanced technology. According to the MEC, only Gauteng Traffic Police are able to stop vehicles and conduct general law enforcement. The MEC further denied any intimidation on the part of SANRAL or Gauteng Traffic Police with regard to forcing people to buy e-tags. This, however, is contrary to the many reported incidents of such intimidation

by members of the public in recent weeks. Clarke urges the MEC to investigate these reports thoroughly and to provide clear steps as to how the Department will ensure that this does not continue. Members of the public who experience such incidents are encouraged to report these immediately to the DA via the following number: 060 558 8309. Clarke has said she will undertake to raise all of these reports directly with the MEC.

Nelson Mandela believed in the power of women and in the crucial role they play in creating change and developing communities. The Miss Earth South Africa (MESA) strives to honour his legacy by empowering, growing and encouraging young women from all corners of South Africa through environmental education about sustainable lifestyles and by harnessing their passion for this country’s future. “It starts by turning the talk into action. Young women are the movers and shakers of our community and the mothers of our future leaders. It is our responsibility to nurture them,” said the Executive Director of the Miss Earth Africa leadership programme

Catherine Constantinides.The MESA team spent their Mandela Day working in Orange Farm at the four-year-old Solwazi Primary School. Constantinides had initiated this project with one goal in mind: Make Food Security Possible. So, on 18 July, joining hands to plant a food garden and paint classrooms was the objective. The vegetable garden was set up using old tyres donated by Imperial Toyota, Lombard Tyres and Redisa. Redisa has to date saved 26 388 tons of waste tyres from landfill sites and burning, saying; “We’re all happy to use tyres, but don’t give any thought to what happens to them when they reach the end of their useful life.” The MESA team and

the Mandela Day volunteers found a use for these tyres with contributions from the Fourways Farmers Market, GroMor and Earth Outdoor Living Nursery. The vegetables will be used in the school’s feeding scheme. Classrooms were upgraded and painted to create a conducive learning environment with non-toxic, non-flammable paint sponsored by Green Coat Eco Paint. Meals on Wheels provided a hot lunch for community members, and food hampers and fruit packs were collected by each of this year’s MESA National Finalists.For more information please contact Earth House at admin@missearthsa.co.za or call Georgina Cost on 082 505 0664.

One of the world’s most famous and successful investors, Warren Buffett, prefers to write in plain English. He wrote the preface to the Plain English Handbook, published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which gives some useful advice:

“When writing Berkshire Hathaway’s annual report, I pretend that I’m talking to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: though highly intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will understand plain English, but jargon may puzzle them.”“My goal is simply to give them the information I would wish them

to supply me if our positions were reversed. To succeed, I don’t need to be Shakespeare; I must, though, have a sincere desire to inform.” – Warren Buffett.

Here, he captures the essence of writing in plain language, making four key points:• Keep your reader in mind.• Use clear, simple language.• Avoid technical jargon and gobbledygook.• Write to inform, not to impress

If writing plainly is good enough for Mr Buffett, it is good enough for anyone.

Here is how he does it:1. Keep it personal.2. Use short sentences and short paragraphs.3. Aim to be understood.4. Use the active voice. 5. Be economical with words.6. Use everyday words and expressions.7. Get to the point.

Just as you cannot play a serious soccer match without using the rule-book and a proper referee, so you cannot do democracy without observing the rule of law, obeying the Speaker of Parliament and respecting voters and taxpayers. When EFF members stormed the Gauteng Provincial Legislature on Tuesday, they trampled underfoot one of the main symbols of this nation’s hard-won freedoms. Parliament is not just a place where fatcats have fashion parades and stuff their faces, as the Honourable Malema would have us believe. It is an institution where the representatives of the people make the laws that determine the character of South Africans and shape our collective future. The Commander-in-Chief should be encouraging his MPs and MPLs to debate the burning issues of poverty, unemployment and service delivery vigorously in their various Houses. His party’s researchers should be fully engaged in diligent analysis of the lengthy reports tabled by government departments so that the EFF Honourable Members can guide as many portfolio committees as possible with solutions to our country’s complex social and economic problems. When EFF members burned a mobile satellite police station in Johannesburg on Tuesday, they showed contempt for the rule of law. What kind of governing system does the EFF support? A thugogracy in which only the strongest and most ruthless eat and the rest go hungry? When Malema’s followers

ate the food reserved for MPLs after the sitting, were they really protesting against excessive government spending or were they demonstrating what they plan to do with any funds liberated by nationalisation? The most troubling part of Tuesday’s rampage, however, was not the defiance of police orders or the sight of red overalled protesters sitting on the red carpet outside the Gauteng debating chamber, but the looting of hawkers’ stalls in the streets of Johannesburg. This was not only a criminal offence cruelly committed against some of the most vulnerable in our society, but also a mockery of everything the Economic Freedom Fighters claim to stand for.In order to rescue his credibility, the Commander-in-Chief needs to apologize to taxpayers in general and his voters in particular, and make restitution to the street vendors in question. Unless and until this is done, he and his party will appear afraid of debate. According to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, the EFF has already boycotted two of the most important debates of the year: the provincial budget debate and the State of the Province debate.

Is Malema afraid of debate?Opinion piece by Linda Yates

Technology

As South Africans we are probably the most security-conscious people on the planet when it comes to our physical sur-roundings, but unfortunately the same cannot be said when we venture out into cyber-space.In this three-part series on technical secu-rity, I will go through common threats we find on PCs and mobile phones, as well as a few clever banking and ATM scams that we should be on the lookout for, and give you a few tips that will hopefully keep you one step ahead of the criminals.It is not uncommon these days for house-holds to have more than one PC and basic internet connection. The internet has become irreplaceable, but we need to proceed with caution.A common tool used by hackers or people wanting to get your personal information for nefarious purposes is called “social engineer-ing.” This is a hack engineered towards non-technical intrusion that relies on human inter-action and tricking people into giving up their information and money; for example, a “419 scam.”In this article we are going to look at “com-puter-based social engineering” which is an attack carried out using software to get the same result. The most common examples have been “phishing emails” and “spoofed websites” - these are generally the ones our banks have warned us about, legitimate-look-ing emails and websites that exist for the sole purpose of getting you to place your informa-tion in them for people to steal, but you should

also be on the lookout for fake “Facebook” or other social media sites.The latest trick is “Ransomware”, software that hijacks your computer and holds it for “ransom” until you pay off the hijackers. If you do not pay them, they will kill your hard drive and everything on it, or steal the information on it and use it to blackmail you at a later stage. The main offender here is the “black-shades” that originated in Russia - this year the FBI coordinated a worldwide operation that saw almost 100 people arrested in con-nection with using “blackshades.”

With a bit of common sense, you should be able to avoid such an attack - take these steps to protect your Pc right away:1. Make sure your firewall is on.2. Ensure all Microsoft updates are current.3. Scan your computer for malware - a good free scanner is Malwarebytes.4. Make sure you scan and update your antivirus software - AVG is a great choice and is also free.5. Do not click on messages from unknown senders, but delete them immediately.6. Avoid questionable websites and be careful about what you download.7. Always run a virus scan on USB sticks from friends and colleagues.

These are a few tips that should ensure you are in a safer place when surfing the web. In our second article we will look at some phone viruses, Bluetooth hacks and fake SMS scams; until then, happy surfing.

Members of Primrose’s Crime Prevention Youth Desk took to the streets of Wychwood, under the supervision of deputy secretary Shantele Bergman, to distribute pamphlets inviting the community to a sector 3 mass meeting at Leeuwenhof High School on 26 July.

The meeting will be an opportunity for the community to meet the new station commander and to discuss crime trends in the area. The management of SAPS Primrose would like to thank the members of the Youth Desk for their dedication to police matters.

The DA will submit questions to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Michael Masutha, and the Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, to determine the full extent of the NPA’s assignment of two prosecutors to investigate whether the conduct of some motorists constitutes an offence. They will specifically inquire into whether SANRAL unilaterally requested this involvement.“The DA is concerned by this latest development, specifically given the changing context of the e-tolling debate. Just last week, Gauteng Premier David Makhura, announced a so-called ‘review’ of the e-tolling project,” Manny de Freitas MP, Shadow Minister of Transport said.The DA has made it clear that it will seek to amend the national legislation in Parliament.

This development is important in light of the ANC’s rethinking of the controversial project.“Surely it would have made better sense to only make such an assignment after the supposed review was complete, and all parliamentary processes initiated by the DA were finalised?” De Freitas asked.

Questions submitted on e-toll NPA prosecutors

Primrose police arrested 2 suspects aged 30 and 35 years old on Saturday 12 July for a murder in Pretoria Road. Police were patrolling when they received a report about a man who had died in Pretoria Road near the Emergency Services offices. They rushed to the scene and found a man lying in a pool of blood. Emergency personnel who were on the scene certified him dead. Police then started to investigate: they were informed that a fight had broken out at Makause informal settlement and that the deceased had been stabbed in the upper body with a sharp instrument. Following all the leads they had been given, the police made two arrests at Makause. One of the suspects they arrested had a stab wound on his lower body, which he alleges was inflicted by the deceased during a fight. Both suspects were detained at Primrose SAPS pending their court appearance. Police are appealing to the community not to take the law into their own hands, but to report all criminal activities to them.

Primrose police arrested a 34-year-old suspect on Tuesday 15 July for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) at Makause informal settlement. The incident which led to the arrest happened when the victim and his younger brother were sitting in the victim’s shack talking. The landlord’s son then entered their shack and told them the language they were using irritated him because he did not understand it.They did not respond, but the landlord’s son picked up an empty beer bottle and struck the older sibling on the face with it and then whipped them both with a sjambok. Police tracked down the suspect and he was arrested and brought to Primrose SAPS for detention pending his court appearance.

Two arrested for murder

On Monday 21 July, Bedfordview police arrested 4 suspects aged between25 and 48 years old for possession of, and dealing in, dagga. While patrolling on the N12 freeway, police members noticed a silver/grey Colt bakkie with 4 occupants drive past them at a high speed and without a back registration plate. Police became suspicious and chased the vehicle until it stopped.Police asked to search the vehicle and found a tyre at the back of the bakkie that was supporting two bags. Inside the bags, police found 19 wrapped packets of dagga. None

of the suspects, however, claimed ownership for any of them.The police then informed all four of them that they were under arrest for possession of, and dealing in, dagga. They were taken to Bedfordview Police Station for detention. Germiston’s Cluster commander Brigadier Phumla Mndlankomo would like to thank all members for their hard work and their dedication to making the cluster free from any form of drugs.“This is an indication that if we do stop and search we will bring all criminals to book, and the law will take its course,” said the Brigadier.

Reddam students shine in Maths and Science quiz

The science and maths quiz, Genius, has been launched by Nickelodeon (DStv Channel 305) and Melrose Cheese to encourage South African children to learn more about these fascinating and important educational subjects.Schools in Johannesburg and Cape Town were invited to submit a team of three students, aged between 9 and 13 years, to compete against each other to demonstrate their knowledge, speed and precision in the two subjects. According to the 2014 Global Information Technology Report, South Africa ranked last out of 147 countries in maths and science competence, so addressing this challenge at an early age is critical in 2014 to develop a society that can keep up with fast-paced technological advances globally.With many questions focusing on mathematics, science, anatomy and

the periodic table Ethan, Michael and Aidan emerged the winners of the Gauteng regional heats. They will now go up against the winners of the Western Cape schools in the finals in July. In the process they stand a chance to win a five-day trip to NASA and a stay at the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando.

Addressing maths and science at an early age is critical in 2014 to develop a society that can keep up with fast-paced technological advances globally. “

Most of your fans know you as the popular radio DJ from Highveld and, now, Jacaranda FM. However, not everyone knows where you started out. When did you discover your talent and passion for presenting?

From a very young age, I was completely taken in by radio. The Rotherham family grew up watching little or no television and I recall always wanting to be the “little man in the speakers.” At the age of 10 I presented “Rotherham Radio” from the back of the Kombi returning from a family holiday. Somehow radio has always attracted me.

For how long were you involved in your high school radio station and how did your career develop before your big break at Highveld?

I was involved with Radio Benoni High right up until the end of Matric. After my National Service, I went on to work at, and manage, a number of other stations. This was long before satellite radio became commonplace and, instead of a fancy studio operating out of a head office somewhere, large shopping centres and bigger retail brands had their own stations which were based in-store. I did my thing at the Boksburg Hypermarket where we ran “Hyper Radio.” I also cut my teeth at Bruma Fleamarket where we ran Fleamarket Radio. Around this time, community radio started taking off and I presented a few shows at “Radio Good News 93.9FM” every week. While all of this was happening, I was also a presenter for the SADF Radio Programme – Forces 2000 which was broadcast once a week.

How did you make it into Highveld?

Highveld Stereo used to belong to the SABC and was one of their regional stations. In 1997, Primedia Broadcasting purchased Highveld and within a matter of months, the station was turned on its head. Although still an AC (Adult Contemporary) format, new ownership meant changes and this included the presenter line-up. I had been attending regular auditions for a couple of years while Highveld was still part of the SABC and the feedback was always the same... “You sound great and have potential... but you’re too young.” Once the “new” Highveld was up and running, I again contacted the station and sent through audition tapes. I was asked to spend a few nights sitting in on the late night show so I could see how commercial radio worked but heard nothing else for a while

after. Then, after a couple of months, their program manager, Neil Johnson, called me up out of the blue. I went on to present my Saturday and Sunday show every weekend from then on, not missing a weekend for 2 years and joining the Rude Awakening team a year or so later.

Was the shift from Highveld to Jacaranda easy to adapt to?

Joining Jacaranda felt very much like being on air for the first time. Although I was with Highveld for nearly 14 years and had far more experience when I went on air with Jacaranda, my first show on a new station was equally daunting. It was a new station, different equipment, an unfamiliar studio and there was the added pressure of talking Afrikaans – something I’d never thought I would do as part of my professional career.

You have interviewed many artists in your career. Which interview still stands out?

During my time on The Rude Awakening, we got to do some incredible stuff. Lionel Richie came in one morning and I will never forget putting on a dress and high heels to sing Three Times a Lady to him as part of a RAW talent show we put on. There I was on stage, dressed like a drag queen singing Lionel Richie’s song to him as a judge.I’ll also never forget an interview with Jeff Wayne some years back after he re-released his musical version of The War of the Worlds. This was a major highlight for me as the first CD I ever bought was his War of the Worlds.

You recently finished your second Jukebox Trivia game. Has it been officially launched?

Yes, the all new, Jukebox Trivia card game is out and on the shelves at CNA stores. I love music and I love trivia and so developing a game that includes these passions has been very fulfilling. It took many hours and was lots of hard work but hearing from people who have played and enjoyed Jukebox Trivia is very rewarding.

What do you enjoy about the game? Is there a twist or a different edge to the second one?

The new Jukebox Trivia is a completely new game with fresh content and questions. I realised that the previous versions of the game contained quite difficult questions and so this new version is easier to play. It’s also great value for money as the game includes 2 versions in one set: “Kopkrapper” for those who think they know their music and “Lekker Easy” for fast fun and questions everyone will know the answers to.

Any advice for aspiring radio-heads?

I don’t think radio should ever be about becoming well-known, getting your face on a magazine cover or striving to become a so-called celeb - I hate the word - shouldn’t even feature. As much as it’s good to grow and develop, I have little time for people who use the platform purely as a springboard to other things. Radio is also a very generic term because there are so many different facets of this business. “Getting into Radio” is far more than becoming a presenter or DJ. Putting together the sound that comes out of the speaker is a complex process and involves many people with different skills.

western Holi Festival of Colours aims to bring the same message of hope, positivity and equality to millions of partygoers, with global events taking place across the world. Local and international music acts, a host of special features, top-of-the-line event planning, security, food and drink stalls and many other event highlights will also be par for the course for the duration of this full-day event.

Lovers of South African football were forced to endure 90 minutes of joyless football this past Saturday, as Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs locked horns in the Soweto Derby. The Carling Black Label Cup gave fans the opportunity to vote for their favourite players via SMS during the preparation stages of the competition – the fans had one of their own coaching both teams respectfully, yet fans gained very little joy from the game.The first half of the Soweto Derby, which always raises expectations from fans from both sides, was uninspiring and saw Chiefs making their first change before the 20 minutes mark. Reneilwe Letsholonyane’s almost goal and Thabo Matlaba’s 35 minutes shot were the only two talking points resulting from the first half. The second half of the game was no different; the teams’ performance however did not spoil the mood at the FNB Stadium as fans began to sing and dance to keep themselves entertained. Chiefs were granted a golden opportunity to turn the game on its head as they were awarded a penalty after George Lebese was brought down in the box; George Maluleka struck his shot against the crossbar.The final whistle blew and the sides were still deadlocked, meaning that the game would have to be decided on penalties. The shootout was perhaps the most exciting part of the game and ended with Pirates edging Chiefs 6 – 5, as Thabo Matlaba converted his sudden death spot kick. Orlando Pirates lift the Black Label trophy after beating Kaizer Chiefs 6 – 5 in a penalty shootout. Photo From Supersport.com
