The late sam ntuli, a civic leader and unionist who contributed immensely to the struggle against apartheid, was recently honoured when his grave was declared a provincial heritage site.The Gauteng provincial government, in partnership with the Ekurhuleni district municipality, paid tribute to the hero Sam Ntuli on his birthday on 20 October. Gauteng Premier David Makhura officially opened Sam Ntuli’s grave as one of the province’s prestigious heritage sites. A plaque was placed at the spot where Ntuli was shot on 29 September 1991 in Khumalo Street in Thokoza. The Gauteng and Ekurhuleni leaders laid a wreath on the grave-site and at the spot.The Gauteng Premier said, “Many sacrificed for our freedom, we are here to enjoy the fruits of democracy and we have to be grateful that we are still alive to reflect back where we come from. Sam Ntuli knew how to be a worker and how to organize the workers’ struggle. People must not pretend
to be workers while they don’t understand how people live.”He said the revolution was not only about bricks and mortar, but also about building a better person. “Let’s put resources into our heritage. Heritage has economic value, we are recognizing heroes who fought at a local level. The struggles of the people of the East Rand are not documented and I challenge residents to write a book targeting local heroes and struggle, ‘Siyabakhumbula.’”Wife of the late Sam Ntuli, Leah Mokoena, said that as a family they are both happy and grateful that her husband was being recognized for the struggle that he fought.Elijah Maseko, a childhood friend of Sam Ntuli, told their history from school until they entered the fight against the struggle, to the moment when he was killed. “Sam contributed a lot to the fight against apartheid and we should carry his legacy and embrace the comrade. There are many heroes who fought for the struggle who are not remembered. Everyone wants to be remembered when they are dead but we forget some comrades who made a sterling contribution to our struggle.”

Protesters marched outside the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court recently, opposing the granting of bail to a former Palm Ridge Combined Secondary School cleaner accused of raping a learner - and the accused was denied bail. A source who is working on the case told tame Times that they are waiting for the DNA tests, which will determine whether the semen found inside the girl matches
that of the accused. He said the tests will be finalized only later in the year.March organizer Paul Molefe said, “We don’t want the accused to be granted bail, but to be given a life sentence. We no longer want him in the community because it is not the first rape charge he is facing.”The community of Palm Ridge feels that they are not safe around him as they allege that the suspect has been accused of raping more than three girls. They claim that other cases were allegedly swept under the carpet.
Protesters oppose bail for rapist
We welcome all our readers to the end of the month of October, which was filled with both exciting and shocking news.Firstly, the nation is mourning the loss of Bafana Bafana Captain and Orlando Pirates football goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa (27), who was shot and killed in Vosloorus at an alleged house robbery incident. The community of Kathorus is also saddened and shocked at the incident that happened in their area, giving them a bad name and making them question their safety as residents. tame TIMES sends their deepest condolences to the family of Meyiwa, his friends, relatives, soccer fans and the nation.The Matrics have started their examinations this week - we also wish them good results and all the best in their journey of writing. We encourage them to find the time for adequate rest and revision. We also appeal to the
parents or guardians of the Matriculants to be supportive by relieving them from duties at home so that they have enough time to concentrate on their schoolwork. Lastly, the community of Kathorus was delighted that their hero Sam Ntuli’s grave-site was declared a Gauteng provincial heritage site. We acknowledge the Gauteng province for honouring the local heroes who fought for our freedom. As the festive season is around the corner, we encourage people to practise safety measures everywhere they go. As for me, I am always vigilant. Let me close my car window now - the robots are green and I am ready to go, cheers for now.

Taxi commuters in the Palm Ridge area can finally breathe a sigh of relief - the construction of their new and approximately R16-million taxi rank is now well underway. Construction started in May and the taxi rank is expected to be fully operational soon. Ward 58 Councillor Robert Pienaar said taxi industry stakeholders were invited to make inputs about their new taxi rank during the planning process for the new state-of-the-art facility. “The new taxi rank will have ablution facilities, taxi offices, Small and Micro Enterprise (SME) stalls and shade for commuters. Eight sub-contractors are currently employed on the site. Local people who are skilled and semi-skilled got job
opportunities,” explained Pienaar. Palm Ridge currently has a makeshift taxi rank without shade or toilets. Commuters are often showered with rain while waiting there and it is unbearable for commuters wanting to relieve themselves, because there are no toilets nearby and the taxi operation is informal.“Construction of the new taxi rank demonstrates that the government is serious about promoting and implementing infrastructure development. We committed ourselves to changing people’s lives for the better. The state-of-the-art taxi rank demonstrates the commitment of the national government in promoting public transport and restoring commuters’ dignity. This new facility is a testimony that Ward 58 is moving forward,” concluded Pienaar.

Ekurhuleni West College Centre for Entrepreneurship recently conducted a five-day workshop for cooperatives around Kathorus to empower them with business skills.Sanesiso Khumalo, Programme Manager, New ventures Creation and facilitator of the workshop, told tame TIMES that the workshop is targeting registered cooperatives that are operating but have not yet received formal training. He said they have partnered with Letsatsi Solutions, Gauteng Enterprise Propeller, to present their programmes and assist cooperatives. Khumalo said they taught the cooperatives cooperative management, typical business management skills and assisted them to be sustainable.Shelly Thebe, programme manager of Letsatsi Solutions, said, “We taught them that they should treat cooperatives as a business that contributes to the economy and employment creation, not as family sustenance. We urged them to utilise the knowledge that they have learnt in the workshop and consider exporting their products”.The 12 cooperatives that were part of the programme said it was fruitful in that they were taught how to run a business, compliance with government policies such as tax clearance and submitting the correct documents for funding applications.

environmentSANRAL taking care of the
The law requires SANRAL to comply with a range of measures to protect the environment and conserve natural resources, but the agency regards these as a minimum requirement.
SANRAL has a two-pronged approach, explains Environmental Manager Mpati Makoa.
We need to comply with the law, but we have our own, internally-driven programmes based on our core values, one of which is to take Care over what we do. We also borrow from international standards such as ISO 14001 which specifies the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS) for small to large organisations and is based on the Plan-Check-Do-Review-Improve cycle, calls for ‘continual improvement’ as a fundamental principle.
ResearchMuch of SANRAL’s research is aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Initiatives include:
• Replacingtarwithasphalt,whichisbitumen-basedandmoreenvironmentallyfriendly. • Recyclingof roadconstructionmaterials.Aggregate,bitumenandasphaltdugupfromoldroadsisreworkedandusedwhentheyareupgraded,
reducing the need to transport new materials and for quarrying, which can often adversely affect the environment. •Usingsolarpanelsandmicrowindturbinestopowervariablemessagingsignsalertingroaduserstoproblemsahead.
Research extends beyond roads to adjacent reserve areas where SANRAL needs to establish the most sustainable way to conserve sensitive or threatenedvegetationspecies.AnexampleiscollaborationbetweenSANRALandNelsonMandelaMetropolitanUniversityonresearchtoestablishguidelines for conservation of the Fynbos Biome along the N2 road in the Eastern Cape.
Regulatory complianceSANRAL’s construction work is subject to government approval based on environmental impact assessment studies and the granting of permits to undertake specific activities. A number of approvals and permits are often required from different departments ranging from environmental affairs to water and forestry, agriculture and mineral resources, and from agencies, such as the SA Heritage Resources Agency.
SANRAL needs to start specific projects at specific times, and the permitting process is a critical factor in its timing. The agency is therefore
working with government departments to develop a more integrated approach to permitting and to optimise the process, says Makoa.
Skills developmentWith its eye on the future, SANRAL has partnered with the Department of Environmental Affairs to place two interns in the agency’s environment division under the Groen Sebenza Jobs Fund Partnership Project.
A former trainee who was sponsored by SANRAL to take her honours degree is now working in the agency’s environment division.
As a member of the World Road Association, SANRAL also benefits from participation in international environmental debate and keeps pace with latest developments.
In line with the “continual improvement” imperative, SANRAL undertakes
its own research in collaboration with academic and other institutions, consults with authorities to improve regulatory processes and participates in local and international forums and events. SANRAL and other key industry stakeholders are currently investigating and looking to adapt ‘Greenroads’ for use as an indicator for sustainable practices in South Africa’s road systems. This enables SANRAL to comfortably comply with legislative requirements, and to contribute to wider environmental and natural resource conservation issues, says Makoa.
SANRAL’s environmental management practices are monitored by its Risk Cluster which reports to the Board.

Maphindi’s Day Care Centre based in Thokoza was delighted to unveil the new crèche structure built for them by Nashua Children’s Charity Foundation.Previously, the learners had to use corrugated iron shacks for classrooms, which made learning conditions unfavourable for the children. When temperatures were high the shack was very hot and when they were low it was very cold. Now, Nashua Children’s Charity Foundation has built a state-of-the-art model facility with three classrooms, a kitchen and a storeroom with two toilets for males and females.Phindile Skhosana, the Centre Manager of Maphindi’s Day Care Centre, said it was her dream to have such a structure and that Nashua Children’s Charity Foundation had made her dream a reality. “I am going to enrol 30 learners from disadvantaged families who will be attending the centre free of charge as part of acknowledging Nashua for their contributions. We are grateful to Nashua Children’s Charity Foundation as they have been sponsoring us. May they continue with the good work that they are doing for underprivileged communities.”The centre has 58 children and is now targeting 100, including their 30 non-fee-paying learners.

The police’s team of forensic experts has revealed the identity kit images of two suspects alleged to be involved in the murder of Bafana Bafana captain and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.The descriptions of the two suspects are as follows: both suspects are believed to be in their late 20s or early 30s, with one being tall, slender, and dark-skinned with dreadlocks and the other, short, dark and well-built. The football star was killed during a house robbery in Mzamo Section 28 in Vosloorus on 26 October. It is alleged that the deceased was visiting his girlfriend, Qinisela hit-maker Kelly Khumalo, when two men entered the house and confronted the seven occupants while the third suspect waited outside. It is alleged that the suspects demanded cellphones and money and took a cellphone which was on a charger. During the incident a shot was fired and the goalkeeper was hit in the upper body. He was taken to Bophelong
Clinix hospital in Vosloorus where he was declared dead on arrival. The three suspects fled on foot but police have launched a manhunt for them. General Riah Phiyega, National Commissioner of Police, expressed condolences to the Bafana captain’s family and friends and the soccer fraternity for the sudden and untimely death of Senzo Meyiwa. “A multi-disciplinary task team has been established to investigate the murder of the 27-year-old Bafana Bafana captain and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa,” she said. “The team will be led by the Gauteng Deputy Provincial Commissioner for Detective Services, Major General Tebello Mosikili. Investigators that are forming part of this team are a combination of detectives from the National Investigation and Provincial Investigation teams, National and Provincial Crime Intelligence, Visible Policing and the War Room. Investigators are back at the crime scene and busy combing the scene for more evidence. One cellular phone was taken during the robbery,” said Phiyega.Dr Irvin Khoza, Orlando Pirates Chairman
tweeted, “To the media, I encourage you to assist us in finding Senzo’s killers and bringing them to book. Let’s assist the police.”A reward of up to R 250 000 - (two hundred and fifty thousand) is on offer for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. Cases of murder and house
robbery are under investigation. Anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator(s) can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or SMS Crime Line on 32211. In mourning for the soccer star, the Soweto Derby has been postponed.

Isaac Maruding, aged 44, who is on trial for three counts of culpable homicide and one count of reckless and negligent driving was granted bail of R7000 on 27 October. Bail was granted on the grounds that the accused was not a flight risk and that he would be not be a risk to the general public should he be released. Magistrate Samuel Hlubi drew special attention to the fact that Maruding was present for his previous sentencing and questioned why this time would be different. “Detaining an accused is only to be done when there is a genuine risk of either the accused not attending his trial or when the
release will be undermining the purpose of justice,” said Magistrate Hlubi. “The state has failed to convince the court that this is the case.” The bail had several conditions attached to his release. The accused is to stay in his verified home address in Viljoenskroon. He is also not allowed to leave the Viljoenskroon area without permission from the investigating officer.Maruding had to hand over his licence to the investigating officer and has to report to the local police station every Monday between 7:00 and 16:00 until the time of trial, which has been postponed until 12 November to allow further investigation by the state.

FENCES/WALLS -A high fence around a house with lockable gates is much safer than a high wall, due to the advantage of the improved visibility that it provides.-The primary aim of the fence is to make a c c e s s / i n t r u s i o n difficult and to allow dogs to move freely around the house.-Ensure that your gates are locked at all times and that the keys cannot be reached easily and are not lying around. -Security gates with sturdy locks in front of each outer door are recommended, as well as burglar proofing covering all windows.The following devices prevent easy access: window bars, security doors, security gates, razor wire, additional locking devices on doors, strengthening of doors, peepholes in doors, safety chains on doors, an intercom system between the house and the gate, front door or garage.
ALARM SYSTEMSAn alarm system, preferably connected to an armed response company, can act as an effective deterrent. In the rural environment a siren/alarm on the roof that can be heard over a long distance and can be activated by means of a switch/panic button in the house, is recommended.
A few switches/panic buttons in different rooms of the house should preferably be installed. Alarms must be able to warn the occupants of any intrusion into the house. Various forms of alarm systems can be used, including: mechanical and/or electrical (purchased types), improvised systems, threaded tins, threaded pieces of iron, gravel on window panes, pathways or around the
home, obstacles that can make a noise when moved, biological systems such as dogs, geese and ostriches.
SECURITY LIGHTS -Security lights on the outside of the house improve
the physical protection of a
house, farm or smallholding.
-Day and night sensor lights are recommended.-The lights must be directed away
from the house and must allow the occupants to use the windows without being observed from outside. -Be aware of possible shadows and blind spots.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS-Ensure that all doors are locked at all times, and that windows are closed when you are not at home.-Large dogs serve as a deterrent. At least one dog should be trained to sleep inside the house.-If you leave your residence, inform your family/ neighbours of your intended destination, the time you expect to return and the route you will be driving, especially if you reside in a rural area.-Ensure that tools such as axes, spades, picks and ladders, which can be used in an attack, are locked away when you are not using them. -Vary your daily routine.-Get into the habit of not falling asleep immediately after switching off the lights - remain awake for a while.

David Makhura told the learners of Kathorus that the province is envisaging a 90% Matric pass-rate this year during a pre-examination ceremony for Grade 12s held at the Vosloorus Civic Centre.Makhura said the class of 2014 is the best Matric class ever since 1994. “You are Mandela’s children and we want no less than a 90% Matric pass-rate for Gauteng province. We expect the best from you because you are the next generation of leaders. If you do well, you belong to university,” said Makhura.He added that the fact that they are children of domestic and mine workers is not a reason to stop them from achieving their dreams.Panyaza Lesufi, Gauteng Education MEC, acknowledged the support from religious leaders, stating that “All my schools will choose God, not Satanism. All pastors are welcome in my schools in Gauteng.” He said they will help the learners to achieve a 90% pass-rate and give the dropouts survival skills. Starting from next year, Grade 11s will be empowered with training for the K53 driver’s licence. “As from next year, at
all high schools in Gauteng from Grade 8 to12, each learner will have a tablet. Gone are the days when learners would have to borrow textbooks and carry school bags. We are investing in Information Communication Technology education in Gauteng. We have to close the gap between the rich and the poor and we are starting in the townships,” said Lesufi. He said they were also consigning the chalkboard and duster to history, replacing them with the white board. “We love our children and we want to rectify the problems of the past. The top three Matric students in each township school will be awarded with bursaries that will cater for them until they conclude their schooling. We don’t want anything to stop learners to access the best education. Sweat and tears both taste salty, but with tears you are going to get sympathy and with sweat you are going to get good results,” concluded Lesufi. The religious leaders also prayed for the learners and encouraged them to seek the wisdom of God to prosper. Sibusiso Leope Education Foundation members also motivated the Matrics to work hard
and achieve their goals. The national Matriculation examinations started this
week, on Monday 27 October.

Too often, the youth use unemployment as an excuse for mischief, and it is because of this that Thuthukani Ma-Afrika Development Centre, in conjunction with various stakeholders, recently hosted a moral regeneration event at their premises in Palm Ridge.The stakeholders present included: Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality representatives, NTSU Training Services, Rings and Bearings Services and a Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus Campus representative.Thami Mtshali, centre manager of Thuthukani Ma-Afrika Development Centre, said the event is one of the pillars of their social programmes for community mobilisation. He said the stakeholders invited to the event spoke to the youth about employment opportunities and skills training. “We are making the youth aware of the challenges faced such as
teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, HIV\AIDS and Ubuntu. We are regenerating their moral values, so that they should not blame unemployment, a lack of recreation facilities and arts centres for their wrongdoing,” said Mtshali. Busi Mokoena, an Ekurhuleni social worker based in Emabhodweni, Katlehong, said, “We encourage youth to have positive values, set personal goals and remind them that education is the key to a successful life. The workshop also promotes hard work, respect and Ubuntu. We have realised that parents are permissive in a number of ways and children are now parenting themselves, because either their parents are too busy or they love their children too much. Parents are outsourcing their responsibility to teachers, leaving everything to everybody. We urge young people to do things that are appropriate for their age and to behave like children by staying at school.” Ntuthuko Ndebele, Administrator at the Centre for Entrepreneurship at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus Campus said, “We were instilling a spirit of entrepreneurship spirit in the youth, encouraging them to turn their careers into businesses. Most youth assume that when they have completed their courses they must seek employment opportunities, but they can also start their own businesses. We were also educating them that being a business person goes along with having a positive character and requires discipline.” Dineo Maepha, a workshop beneficiary said, “They have taught us a lot about life; they reminded us that we should trust ourselves and strive to be independent. The workshop facilitators further reminded us that we shouldn’t allow our background to determine our future. I was motivated that there was a bright future ahead of me. They informed us of the existing job opportunities in private and government sectors and also encouraged us to seek information.”

Schools debate on transport mattersCharity [email protected]
As part of celebrating Transport Month and promoting greater awareness of road safety, the Department of Education’s Ekurhuleni South District and the Department of Transport in the Ekurhuleni Metro hosted a debate for schools at Tsolo Hall.Eight schools were involved, namely: Palm Ridge Combined School, Eden Park Secondary, Vosloorus Comprehensive School, Germiston High, Ponego Secondary School, Winile Secondary School, Phumulani Secondary School and Leondale High School. These schools battled it out in a debate with the objective of making people aware of the role of transport in growing and developing the economy, and its importance to
citizens in their everyday lives. They were also able to highlight important challenges in building an effective, safe, affordable, accessible and reliable transport system. The aim was also to promote the use of public transport in order to reduce traffic congestion and a greater awareness of road safety for both users of vehicles and pedestrians.The debate was divided into two categories, one for Grades 8 to 9 and the other for Grades 10 to 11. In the finals of the Grade 8-9 category, Palm Ridge Combined School won against Eden Park High School. In the category for Grades 10-11, Leondale High School also defeated Phumulani Secondary School and won position one. The winners were awarded with trophies and medals and all the learners received certificates for participation.

Tshabalala Primary School recently set a new benchmark for aspiring Kathorus table tennis-players when eight out of 10 players from the school secured a spot in the Table Tennis Provincial Championships. The district championship event was recently held at
Sam Ntuli’s Stadium main hall, with five local primary schools competing for a place in the provincial championships to be held in Pretoria on 30 October. Speaking to tame TIMES, Tshabalala table tennis coach Dineo Molamu said, “In total there were 50 table tennis athletes including ourselves competing for 10 spots. Each of the five schools was represented by 10 athletes. We are excited that out of the 10 available spots for athletes, our school managed to get the lion’s share, as we secured eight out of the 10 available spots. The other two remaining spots were grabbed by Cathula Primary School players. Currently, we are busy preparing ourselves for the provincial championship after school hours and during school holidays.”Refilwe Tsaagane, Tshabalala Primary School team manager, was full of praise for her school table tennis team for surpassing everyone’s expectations. “We attributed our success to the dedication and hard work done by our technical staff. Last year our performance was dismal owing to mediocre preparation and limited knowledge of the sport. However, this time around our coaching staff enrolled for various coaching clinics and the standard of playing continues to be on the rise. Our objective is to see our athletes competing in the national championship,” concluded Tsaagane.
