The African National Con-gress on Saturday the 20th of April 2013 added its voice among those mourning the death of former Nafcoc vice-president Tom Boya. He was the former mayor of Dav-eyton, chairperson of the Northern Province Commu-nity College, chairman of the Daveyton Adult Centre and president of the Polokwane Rugby Club. “He was a vis-ible leader in business and business organisations. Mr Boya played a prominent role in Nafcoc as its vice president and as well as the president of the South Afri-can Leisure and Tourism,” said ANC spokesperson Jack-son Mthembu. When Bra Tom, as many ad-dressed him took the job of Mayor at the dawn of the de-mocracy, community devel-opment was what was on the forefront of his career, thus he started development in differ-ent areas, Usizolethu, a school for the mentally handicapped was one of the schools he as-sisted in developing thus to incorporate learning and tak-ing care of the children. Mthembu said Boya’s activ-ism spanned education, civic issues and sport. “We believe that he played an important role in advancing develop-ment in areas that were pre-viously neglected by the erst-while apartheid government,” he said. Boya (62) died on Friday, the 12th of April after a long illness. He was the first vice-president of the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nafcoc) at the time of his death. Boya was also the president of the SA Leisure and Tourism Association. “He was a well-respected commu-nity and business leader who played a significant role in black business... and in the reorganisation of Nafcoc,” the group’s president Joe Hlong-wane said in a statement. “We wish to express our deepest condolences to Boya’s fam-

ily. He was one of the most prolific leaders in black busi-ness. During Boya’s Funeral service, it was made clear that he had a ‘golden heart’ and was passionate about the well-being of the society. The ANC Youth League in Lim-popo sent its condolences to the Boya family. Provincial spokesman Klaas Nono Mabunda said: “His life is well lived and surely the angels are happy to have him in their midst to help watch over us.” During Tom Boya’s Memorial service, Minister Bathabile Dlamini of So-cial Development addressed the masses at the Anglican Church of Southern Africa in Daveyton. During her speech she said, she offered her sym-pathy to the Boya Family. “It was with great sadness and a deep sense of loss that I learnt on Friday, 11 April 2013 Mr Boya is no more. Today we have converged here to com-memorate the death of an out-standing South African. We celebrate the life of a community builder and a trail blazer. It is indeed an honour for me to be here with you to-day to pay tribute to a father, husband, friend, colleague and the son of the soil who dedicated the better part of his life to the betterment of the lives of his fellow human beings. And I thank you for this op-portunity to talk about some of my own personal memo-ries of Mr Boya,” Dlamini said. Dlamini said the un-timely passing of Mr Boya is not only a loss to his family, but is a grief shared by Gov-ernment and our nation as a whole. “Many people knew Mr Tom Boya as an illustri-ous businessman. What many people did not know is that he was a staunch campaigner for older person’s rights, and a committed citizen in work-ing with Government to ad-dress the challenges facing our senior citizens,” said the Minister. She told the mass-es that she started working with Mr Boya when she first

joined the Department of So-cial Development in 2009 as a Deputy Minister. “Mr Boya was actively involved in the affairs of the South African Older Persons Forum. He was a leader in his own right and distinguished himself in business and in community service. He demonstrated his lead-ership in many initiatives which other speakers before me have alluded to. One such initiative, for which we will remain eternally grateful, was his dedication to improve the well-being of older persons in South Africa,” continued the Minister. She said the vision of the Department of Social Development is to: building a caring society. “Mr Boya was an embodiment of that vision until his last day on this earth. To realise this vision, he deemed it important to im-prove the welfare of our se-nior citizens. His untimely departure has robbed us of a selfless man who put the in-terests of his fellow human beings above his own,” she said. Last year, the Depart-ment of Social Development organised a luncheon be-tween President Jacob Zuma and a representative group of older persons to discuss a number of issues affect-ing our senior citizens. “This day, I still vividly remember how passionately Mr Boya presented a very convincing business case for the estab-lishment of the Older Persons Desk in the Presidency and in the Offices of Premiers in all nine provinces. I learnt of his passing when I had a meeting with the Presi-dent’s Coordinating Council to further discuss this issue. Unfortunately, Mr Boya did not live one more day to hear the good news that President Jacob Zuma has instructed all the Premiers to establish the Older Persons Desk in their offices to ensure that issues of older persons priority,” the Minister added. “We will sorely miss his energy and

“never give-up” attitude in the social sector. With his un-timely departure, it is left up to all of us, whether in gov-ernment, civil society or the business sector, to carry for-ward the cause which he so dearly championed. It is up to us to ensure that the abuse of our senior citizens such as the despicable and senseless hu-miliation of an older person by security guards in Jane Furse, Limpopo, as reported in the Daily Sun and does not ever happen again in our so-ciety. We are profoundly glad that Mr Boya lived amongst us. We cherish the memory of his deeds and character. Let us honour the life of Mr Boya by following in his footsteps and share in the life of our communities, conclud-ed the Minister. She closed her speech by reading from Timothy 2, Chapter 4 verse 6 to 8 (King James Bible): “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” Like a bird, his whistle was heard from miles away as he spark joy in the early mornings to the community he served. Bra Tom, as many addressed him, represented a few that were chosen to serve and did that with full dedication. The ideology of family was that which was at the heart of Bra Tom in all he did. When the community had the news of the passing of their golden son to the elderly, a father to the fatherless and brother to many, devastation was written all over their fac-es. The untimely departure of such a selfless man not only robbed the community but the country at large. His body was laid to rest at Lala Ngox-olo Cemetry in Crystal Park.

The Daveyton 9 police case draggingThe Nine Daveyton police-men accused of killing Mo-zambican taxi driver Mido Macia will be back in court in May. The nine, who are still in cus-tody, appeared briefly in the Benoni Magistrates Court on Friday morning, the 12th of April 2013. Macia was dragged down a street while handcuffed to a police van in February. He later died in police cus-tody. Macia’s family and friends packed courtroom four to see his alleged killers, who cov-ered their heads as they were led into the dock. The matter was postponed to 24 May for a final investiga-tion where a trial date will definitely be set. State prose-cutor December Mthumunye said they have already submit-ted the docket to the director of public prosecutions, who will decide in which court the trial will be heard. The state said it was confi-dent about the case. The nine officers were denied bail in March and will remain be-hind bars. The accused are Thamsanqa Ncema, 35, Linda Sololo, 56, Meshack Malele, 45, Motome Walter Ramatlou, 37, Percy Mnisi, 26, Bongumusa Mdluli, 25, Sipho Ngobeni, 30, Lungisa Ewababa, 31, and Bongani Kolisi, 27.

It has been long now since the residents of Mayfield Ext 1 protest on service delivery. This time they got them worse since they heard that the Ekurhuleni Municipal-ity is about to build the R250 Million Shopping mall just across their place. “The May-or has the nerve to come pose pictures across the street yet we are still waiting for their response,” said one angry resident. Last year July, residents sub-mitted a memorandum to

the MMC of Energy, Aubrey Nxumalo at the Germiston Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Mu-nicipality. The Mayoral spokesperson Zweli Dlamini said they will look into the memorandum and assured that they will get back to the protesters after 48 hours. Also in the memorandum corruption allegations against the Wards Clr, Rita Dladla were made. An estimated 50 families were moved from their informal settlement

homes to a Satisfactory and safe RDP houses in Mayfield. The remained residents were angry and wanted to know the procedure that was used to choose the families whom were taken to the RDPs. On the same month, the Execu-tive Mayor of Ekurhuleni Clr Mondli Gungubele together with members of the mayoral committee embarked on a two-day Mayoral Imbizo pro-gramme to report back to lo-cal communities on issues of service delivery. “We are in

the second month of the new financial year and it is impor-tant that we waste no time in reporting back to communi-ties on how far we are in car-rying out the mandate they have given us,” explained Ekurhuleni executive mayor Clr Mondli Gungubele. Vutha News witnessed the leader-ship of Ekurhuleni interact-ing with communities at the Mayfield ground about the 2011/2012 annual report and also on progress made in the first quarter of the 2012/2013

financial year. That further-more afforded communities an opportunity to give feed-back on service delivery con-cerns that they feel needed attention and they also shared their suggestion on what the possible solutions to the iden-tified challenges might be. However, residents feel that it has been long now since they have waited. Vutha News sent an email to the spokes-person but the response was not available during the time of print.

Mayfield at it again

This Mina Nawe family is living a painful life that no human being deserves. The couple with 8 children have been staying in Mina Nawe for the past 16 years and both are not working. Both these parents are nei-ther working nor getting any income from anywhere and worse the mother does not have an identity document to make things easier for her to get child support grant. “My children are not getting any child support grant because I do not have an ID. We are struggling because my partner and I are not working and there is no income to sus-tain the family,” said (Hen-drina Dee Wee). Whenever I go to the Depart-ment of Social Development, they are asking for my moth-er’s ID number which I do not have or know,” she said. Dee

Wee has since left home in the 90’s and has never gone back. “Going home back now to ask for my mother’s ID number could create more politics by my family,” added Dee Wee. What makes things worse for the couple is that they stay in a one room shack with their children. “This shack is our bedroom, Kitchen, bathroom, sitting room and we are really not coping,” said the father of the house Andries Zwane. Zwane said they have regis-tered for an RDP house but instead of them staying in the house, other people are stay-ing in that house. “We were surprised to see other people being put in the house we thought it was ours. Now where share the same yard with them because no one told us were we should go,” added Zwane. The life they live in makes

them wonder when are they also going to get the benefits of being a South African with pride. The couple have 5 school children whom go to school on an empty stomach everyday. Makes one wonder how they are able to cope up at school on a hungry stom-ach. “Feeding schemes at school do provide them with lunch,” Zwane added. How-ever the children themselves say this does not happen ev-eryday because when they get to the queues late, they find food finished. The fam-ily told Vutha News that lots of people have been coming to their home assuring to as-sist them but they never come back to them. “So many peo-ple have come to our house making us fill so many docu-ments but after that, they all vanish,” said Zwane. Not that they are waiting for the gov-

ernment to serve them on a silver platter. Zwane says he is trying by all means to make a living for his children but it’s really not easy. “At times I get to work for construction renovating houses or painting which pays of about R70 per day. These jobs do not even last for 3 months. I sometimes spend two months without any income again. All we need is also recogni-tion so that we could also enjoy being South Africans. “We want to get the grant money and the RDP house. Is that too much to ask”? asked Zwane. Vutha News contact-ed Home Affairs to get to the depth of the matter. We were told that the manager of the office is in a meeting and will get back to us. Until the day we went to print, No reply has been given.

Family with no identity docu-ments

On Tuesday 16th of April 2013 at night a family was attacked by robbers. It is alleged that a parent and her son were in the house at about 8H45pm when they heard a gun-shot in the yard.

When they went to check what was happening a suspect fired the son. The suspect caring a firearm ran away. When she went outside she noticed that her other son was also shot.

Both Victims (18 and 23 years) were taken to the hospital with bullet wounds on the leg and at the upper body. The victims are still in hospital. A plasma TV and knife

were recovered outside the house. “A case of at-tempted murder is being investigated. We appeal to the com-munity to come forward with any information that might lead to the ar-

rest of the suspect,” said Captain Alfred Nakana of Daveyton SAPS.

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality executive may-or, Clr Mondli Gungubele has announced that the municipal-ity will spend R17.5 Million to roll out solar energy light-ing to over 7000 households at Ekurhuleni’s informal set-tlements for which no short or medium plans are in place for relocation or upgrading. The mayor made this an-nouncement on Friday, 12 April, at Umgababa informal settlement near Daveyton where he launched the proj-ect.This announcement follows hot on the heels of the prom-ise Gungubele made during his state of the city address in March when he said, “Our plans for informal settlements will be of a high impact na-ture, notwithstanding the lim-ited resources we may be in a position to allocate thereto. The ultimate aim in this re-gard will be to make informal settlements liveable by pro-

viding them with basic inter-im municipal services, while in the process of turning them around by either formalizing or relocating them.”The 10Watt solar lighting unit consists of a solar panel, a battery control box and four LED lights. The solar panel is positioned on top of the roof but cannot be stolen because it is built in from inside the house. The lifespan of the battery is three to five years. The LED lights have the ca-pacity to keep the light shin-ing for up to 100 000 hours. Already the impact of the project is far beyond just bringing lights into the homes as it has also brought income to some homes too because of the 24 temporal jobs created by the project at Umgababa informal settlement. The impact is also positive for the economy of the City and the country as the prod-ucts used in the solar project

are 90 percent South Africa.While initially, the project was aimed 7000 households located at informal settle-ments which have been clas-sified as category C (areas for which no short or medium plans are in place for reloca-tion or upgrading), the mayor announced on Friday that the project would eventually be rolled out to include other in-formal settlement in the city which are outside the targeted category, thus benefitting tens of thousands of households. Mayor Gungubele explained that, even though most infor-mal settlements were illegally erected, the municipality as a local sphere of government is constitutionally bound to en-sure that the conditions there are liveable without neces-sarily encouraging the mush-rooming of such settlements. “We respect the fact that it is people who stay in those shacks and there are kids who are being raised from under

such condition. This is about maintaining the dignity of our people”.The programme brings relief to residents who on aver-age spend R13.00 to buy a packet of candles which last for a week or R3.50 a single candle and were having to pay between R5.00 to R10.00 to charge their cell phones by nearby residents who have electricity. The cellphone charging facil-ity boasts USB charging en-abler for smart phones and a universal charging facility for other handsets.Thirty-Five year old Ponki Mofokeng is one of the ec-static beneficiaries. “Just be-cause we are at informal set-tlement it does not mean that we have to live in darkness. The efforts of the municipal-ity are appreciated. You can just imagine what it was like cook or to as-sist our children with home-work under candle light.”

Patricia Mashigo, a self-employed sales woman, mother and lesbian was found stoned to death be-tween Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st of April 2013. The Mashigo family held a memorial for Patricia on the 26th of April. The memorial began where her body was found at Inkatha-Ka Zulu Prima-ry School with proces-

sions which lead way to Patricia’s family home, on the corner of Eisel-en and Mocke Street in Daveyton. Her body was laid to rest at Phumlani Cemetery on the 27th of April 2013. She leaves behind a 15year old boy and a 13 year old girl. Mashigo family do not know what the cause of Patricia’s death was,

but they suspect she was murdered for her sexual-ity. “The case is still to be reported to the Police so that murders get what they deserve,” said one member of the Utingo–the rainbow LGBTI or-ganisation.

There are 3 gangsters be-lieved to be in their late and 20 years who have allegedly been terrorising the commu-nity of Daveyton. Captain Alfred Nakana of Daveyton SAPS warns residents of Daveyton to be on the out-look of these criminals. It is alleged that the three gang-sters do house robbery during the day and they enter houses through the Roofs. “Many cases have been reported to the police, although no arrest has been made yet,” Nakana said. It is alleged that the three also robbed the Old Fish and Chips at Daveyton Mall last week. “They found the cashier and demanded money at gunpoint. As the cashier gave them money, they said it’s little and demanded more from the safe,” said Nakana. Customers who were there to buy food were told to lie on the floor. When the police arrived at the scene, suspect had already fled. Again, the three are also believed to have robbed Two Tone Cafe. They used the same strategy to rob the shop. It is alleged that they demanded money from the till and also took the owner’s cellphone. “If anyone has information that might lead to the arrest of these gangsters, please do not hesitate to inform the nearest Police Station,” said Nakana.

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality encourages job seekers to familiarise them-selves with the Metro’s re-cruitment processes. This, in the wake of reports of con artists luring members of the public with an Ekurhu-leni Emergency Services job advertisement and then ask-ing for payment to apply. “In February, a bogus advertise-ment for 200 fire fighter posi-tions was circulated on social media. And now the Metro has re-ceived a report that a woman was called to meet a man at a mall. She was given a blank evalu-ation form, which she was to

fill and hand in at the Kempton Park fire station, in exchange for R3 500,” says Ekurhuleni spokesperson, Sam Modiba. Modiba continued to explain that an advertisement for fire brigade reservists was indeed advertised by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, through the approved human resources’ channels, and closed for applications on March 15. “The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality is committed to fair and trans-parent recruitment, selection and placement practices in accordance with the appli-cable legislation. Positions are advertised open-ly, as and when approved by

the EMM via internal and external channels, including weekly newspapers in order to promote fair competition,” he said. These channels are, as men-tioned, weekly newspapers, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality’s official web-site, notice boards at selected customer care centres and other municipal facilities, as well as the intranet. There should be a reference number available and the con-tact details provided to reflect the validity of the position. Also, any forms that will be required to be filled in as part of the process would be ob-tainable from EMM’s offices.

“The Ekurhuleni Metro has taken a decision to invest in job creation and it is a pity that con artists are utilising our sincere initiatives to prey on job seekers for their own gain,” emphasised Modiba. In this endeavour, the EMM has provided the following opportunities which were recently announced by Ex-ecutive Mayor Mondli Gun-gubele: . 200 Fire Brigade Reserve Force at a cost of R25 million per annum; . 219 Hydrant Maintenance, Mark-ing and Testing Marshalls at a cost of R38 million per annum; .1010 Metro Police Peace Corp Volunteers at a cost of R78 million per an-

num . Youth Work Readiness Pro-gramme at a cost of R15 mil-lion per annum; . Graduate Placement Programme at a cost of R15 million per an-num; . Recognition of Prior Leaning Programme at a cost of R6 million per annum; . Business Mentorship Pro-gramme at a cost of R5 mil-lion per annum; and . Lungile Mtshali Poverty Al-leviation Programme (R1 million per ward) at a cost of R101 million per annum. All of these vacancies will be advertised as per the afore-mentioned process.

Aan Style Creations is direct selling vintage clothing for women in Daveyton. Two things you need to know about Aan Style Creations, first is that they teach people style not fashion. “Fashion comes and goes but with style you can go a long way with your clothes,” said the founder and owner Tinyiko Ndlovu. The second thing is that it caters for all women with all heights and shapes. Ndlovu is one of our vintage clothing sellers. And she sells the most beauti-

ful things, from classic jack-ets to high-waisted pants to cool, loose tunics, bags and accessories. The love for fashion came from way back when her mother used to style her when she was still a toddler and she would pose while her mother takes her pictures. “My late mother used to mix all colours with anything and we would look and feel good. From an early age, I’ve al-ways loved style,” said Ndlo-vu. The shop has been opened last year and she affirms that her customers have been hap-py with what they get from her. “One thing that I guaran-tee to my clients is that you won’t buy something from me and you get to see it worn by someone else. I get my stock from overseas and whatever I get is only one piece clothing for a particu-lar item of clothing and no one else will get it,” added Ndlovu. Lately not every young per-son would quit their job to run a business but Ndlovu did just to pursue her passion in style and modelling. She is also a make-up artist and works hand in hand with Xoliswa Mbatha who is her photographer to make pro-files. If you love vintage and vin-tage inspired clothing, check out her pictures and talk to her via facebook: “Tee nyiko Ndlovu”.

with Catering and plastic bags,” said the head of Sports, Arts and Culture Thembile Sithole. “We did not like the way our library looked,” he added. Sithole said when one talks of education they talk of a healthy mind in a favourable

place, and the library did not implicate that. “We believe that cleanliness is next to God,” he said. Sithole is even pleased that 6 of the organisation members got employed by a cleaning company through this initia-tive.

Daveyton has recently been receiving extensive media coverage for all the wrong reasons. On February the Police were filmed dragging taxi driver Mido Macia along a street in Daveyton while being tied at the back of a police van, who he later died at the police station’s holding cells. Last month a metro police of-ficer was killed in Daveyton after an illegal street vendor allegedly punched him for enforcing munic-ipal by-laws. Gauteng MEC for Community Safe-ty Faith Mazibu-ko on Thursday 18 April 2013 convened a public meeting with the community of Daveyton at Mbikwa Cindi with an aim to restore police confidence and trust. Issues raised by the commu-nity included the lack of po-lice co-operation especially after the brutal killing of a taxi driver Mido Macia. Other complaints raised in-

cluded traffic law enforce-ment, police soliciting bribes, sexual offences where a 9 year old girl was raped and murdered, illegal shebeens, enforcement of Municipal By-laws especially the illegal street vendors. Since the illegal street vendors

contribute a sizeable portion to the economic development of the area, MMC for Com-munity Safety in Ekurhuleni Mthuthuzeli Siboza commit-ted to engage his counterpart, MMC for Economic Devel-opment to run road shows that will see them registered to operate legally.

MEC Mazibuko called for community members, “please reclaim the township by up-rooting criminals through regular reporting whenever you see or suspect some un-becoming behaviour even if it is a member of the police to the cellphone number which I

have shared with you, provid-ing full details of time, venue and the activity. I will immediately engage the Cluster Commander to deal with the problem decisively” said MEC Mazibuko.

The Ekurhuleni Aerotropolis route requires the metropolis to have a seamless and inte-grated transport network, thus the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) is call-ing on its people to assist in determining these routes to suit their needs. Residents are therefore in-formed to expect municipal fieldworkers in their homes to do the household surveys, over the next four weeks, in order to solicit their views and help the municipality plan a convenient transport system. According to the municipal spokesperson, Sam Modiba the survey seeks to record information about the trav-el habits and activities of Ekurhuleni citizens. This information, he said, will in turn be used in the devel-opment of routes in pursuit of the roll out of the Integrated Rapid Public Transport Plan (IRPTP). The fieldwork-ers have started in earnest this week to visit residents’ homes and will be working

Mondays to Fridays from 16:00 to around about 20:00 and on Saturdays from 08:00 to 17:00. “The fieldworkers wear yellow safety reflective jackets, have ID cards and have the letter from EMM stating the purpose of the survey with contact details of the responsible persons in the Public Transport, Plan-ning and Provision Depart-ment,” Modiba explains. He encourages residents to co-operate with the fieldworkers because “their participation is essential for the deepening of a participatory democracy which allows local citizens to partake in the development of their city.” “The survey will enable us to gain valu-able insights and a broad un-derstanding of the transport patterns and demands in vari-ous areas of the municipality. We must emphasize that the input of residents is critical because we want to imple-ment a system that is tailored to their needs by responding appropriately to those needs,” Modiba said. The survey will

take about 45 minutes and will include questions relat-ing to the trips that people make and the satisfaction rat-ings of the attributes of the current public transport sys-tem. “Every resident is urged to participate in the survey,” states Modiba saying that the information will not be pro-vided to external parties and will remain strictly confiden-tial. Already, some houses have been visited since the first phase of survey began in October 15 and ended in March 2013. The next four weeks is the continuation of the work that started last year. Should residents have any queries regarding the survey they are welcome to contact any of the following people during office hours:Thembelihle Mogapi at [email protected] or 011 999 3153; Henri Vorster at [email protected] or 012 349 1664; Pule Matela at [email protected] or 012 428 7400.

The Daveyton SAPS have adopted 9 Primary Schools around Daveyton to spend a day in the police station and see how things are done. Learners toured the station office by office to ask the em-ployees how it’s like working for the SAPS. They later went to the Police Cells to ask in-mates how it’s like being ar-rested and what did they do to end up being arrested. The Sector 2 Manager W/O Mor-age said he recruited these kids because he wanted them

to know that the Police Sta-tion is a user friendly place. “The reason I took them to the cells is because we want to show them that crime does not pay, no matter how old they are,” said Morage. One learner advised fellow learn-ers to stop stealing no matter how small the object is. “It starts from stealing a pen in a classroom. That can lead to one being a criminal and having a crimi-nal record.” Mam Dube from Ntsikane Primary School

thanked Morage for such a tour. She said in the next term she will be teaching about careers. “My kids have seen that the police station does not only consist of Police Of-ficers but they have seen that there are other professions within the SAPS. Schools adopted were Bafo Chic-co, Matio Tenga, Ntsikane, Dumehlezi, Siphumelele, Nkathakazulu, Inkangala, and Gugulesizwe primary schools and only 15 kids per school were adopted.

Etwatwa Youth Desk are on the mission to discourage Etwatwa young people from engaging in gangsterism and substance abuse. This outreach programme followed after an outbreak of youth in Barcelona, Etwatwa, had engaged themselves in fighting which resulted in one victim lost his life as a result of gangsterism. Through their research, they found that most of young people don’t participate in any sporting activities, and as a result they turn into substance abuse as an alternative. Barcelona has been targeted to introduce soccer and other activities. Since the mission started in 20th of March 2013, less incident of gangsterism has dropped dramatically. This programme will continue and be escalated to other areas of Etwatwa.

With the annual Dlala Idiski Walk in its 2nd year since in-ception in 2011 the Dlala Idis-ki has introduced a pre- walk soccer tournament, played by teams from Daveyton, Etwat-wa, Chris Hani and Kingsway. The month long tournament will see teams from different clusters competing at cluster level for a spot at the final at the Zesfontein on May 25. Chris Hani emerged victori-ous in the Kingsway Clus-

ter after beating Kingsway 3- 2 at the weekend. “Dlala Idiski pre- soccer tournament is one of a special and rare kind, especially to the dis-advantaged communities be-cause communities are now presented with an opportu-nity to relate amongst them-selves and to start a dialogue on what shapes their com-munity development wise”, said Monde Kakula, Brand Manager of Dlala Idiski.

He also thanked all the teams which participated and also urged communities to come through and give the players support throughout the tour-nament. Parents and community at large are encouraged to sup-port local teams during the tournament. For more info call Monde Kakula on 073 536 0989.

Samuel Mahlatsi, a Wattville resident who trains at Dav-eyton under the leadership of Tom Kayuma, was destined to do karate. The fourth degree black belt karateka just returned from Japan last week after attend-ing the Karate training camp. The annual event attracts karate masters and students from all over the world. The training camp is a chance for instructors or students to get a chance to get the correct accreditation. This means that there are ex-ams and tutorials for those wishing to be examiners, judges and instructors. After the exam has been passed, the holder of the qualification will be recognised worldwide and be registered as an ac-credited individual in the ka-rate fraternity.

His love for the sport started when he was young and high-ly influenced by movies with characters like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. This love grew and matured into a strong passion that was fuelled by discipline and ded-ication. As time went on he decided to join Tom Kayuma in Dav-eyton. “I enjoy this sport and it has become a part of my lifestyle. Going to Japan was a great educational and informative adventure,” says Samuel. The training fuses the art of karate in conjunction with de-partment of education to give the participants the chance to get their qualifications through the interactive learn-ing and exposure to the sport. All kinds of professionals from around the globe gath-

er to teach and expand their knowledge on the sport. Tom has been doing karate for the past 30 years and looks forward to producing well recognised talent like Samu-el. “In the future I would like to open a centre that will be a place for the youth to develop their skills. “My message to the youth is that there is never time to sleep; you will sleep when you are dead. For now, make sure that you make use of all the opportu-nities that are there for you,” concludes Samuel. He returned with the follow-ing qualifications: a C-level instructor, D-level judge and D-level instructor. He is now qualified and ac-credited internationally.

Samuel Karateka makes us proud
