THE ANC centenary torch arrived at Mbikwa Cindi in Daveyton on Friday the 22nd of June 2012 as part of the ANC centenary celebra-tions where it was symboli-cally handed to one of the veterans of the struggle. The torch has travelled around the country to significant and historical sites after being lit on the 8th of January 2012. Daveyton was one such loca-tion as it was where twelve people, including a police of-ficer and two children, were killed. Amongst others who died in Daveyton was Abel Ngwenya, in police custody, allegedly from an epilep-tic fit, but the pathologist in

the ANC is not obsessed with who must lead the movement instead their concern is more on how fast the resolvement of issues facing their people is made. According to the speech made by “comrade” Skree magwedisha Davey-ton streets names should be changed to honour those who have passed on to fight for freedom in Daveyton. The event started at the grave of Oliver and Adelaide Tambo in Wattville where the centenary flame was lit. It later went to Daveyton and ended at Et-watwa Stompie Skhosana.
dicated violence involved in death. The torch-bearing pro-cession was led by Umkhonto we Sizwe veterans as well as a ‘biker group’ of ANC party members, escorted by a heavy police presence. De-spite the weather being cold, a large group of party mem-bers were on hand to greet the procession and listen to speeches by members of lo-cal government and the ANC Daveyton heroes. The ANC Zonal Chairperson, Stanise told the crowd that the ANC is quite aware that people are faced with poverty, equality and unemployment. He said

Phillip Moyo Robbed
Etwatwa Police had launched a manhunt followed a Busi-ness Robbery case being opened. It is alleged on the early hours of Thursday the 14th of June 2012 two sus-pects who pretended to be pa-tients Pulled out a firearm and ordered Security guards to lay down at Guard room on the main entrance of Phillip Moyo Clinic, Etwatwa. The Sus-pects also demanded a Toyota
Venture’s keys, white in colour, which was used to transport medication at the clinic. Suspects made their way out with the vehicle. No one was injured during the in-cident. Police have launched an investigation to get the suspects behind bars. Anyone with information is urged to contact nearest Police Sta-tion or Contact the investigat-ing Officer Constable Mike Maluka at (011)746-8900.
ACDP President, Rev Ken-neth Meshoe told the youth to avoid sex, booze and drugs at the ‘Daveyton can sing’ par-ty. “Sex can wait,” he said; “booze must wait” and “drugs should not even be consid-ered.” Succeeding in life, he said, was up to them – and them alone. Even those who came from families which had no educated or profes-sional members could obtain a good education or become professionals themselves. Young people, he said, should remember that they are spe-cial and surround themselves
with the kind of friends who would encourage them to work hard and achieve their goals. It was time for some major new inventions to come from the African con-tinent; because he had heard only of European and Ameri-can inventors, but not African ones. Meshoe said he had been shocked to visit peo-ple living in shacks in Cape Town right next to a new housing development. “They do not want to move into the new houses,” he said, “be-cause then they will have to pay for water and electricity!”

taken in by the Police for fur-ther questioning and was later locked inside prison. Sellinah alleges that the Principal later accused her of framing her child. “She told me that my uncles and grandfathers are rapists-not her child.” The Principal is now on suspen-sion until further investiga-tions are done. The first ap-pearance of the accused was on the 10th of May 2012. On his second appearance, on the 8th of June 2012 he dis-closed that he is HIV positive and asked for bail because his CD4 count had dropped. The court denied him bail. Portia Serote of Treatment Action Campaign in Daveyton says CD4 count means nothing. “People must be criminalised for doing what is illegal re-gardless of their HIV status. As investigations were done”, other rape and murder cases were found on the accused. Sellinah says she would be happy if the Department of Education joined together with the Police to intervene in schools and check for cases such as hers. “I don’t think my child was the first and prob-ably not the last but some-thing must be done to prevent things like these. The accused is now in Jail and will appear again at the Daveyton court on the 10th of July 2012.
School guard
rapes a 5 year old
A security guard is alleged to raping a 5 year old mi-nor from Kgalema Primary School in Daveyton. Sellinah Nonyane says she realised that her child was raped after she asked her to go to the loo. The mother says the child came back from the toilet cry-ing saying she can’t pee be-cause her virgin is sore. “My child didn’t want to say any-thing to me until I threatened to beat her up with a belt. She cried a lot and on the spot she wet herself. I could see blood literally coming out with her pee,” says Sellinah. “She opened up later telling me that it was the security guard at school who raped her. The following morning, I didn’t bath her. I took her straight to the Doctor for confirmation. Indeed the Doctor confirmed that my child had been raped. “From there, I took my child to the school to report the matter to the Principal,” adds Sellinah. Sellinah alleges that the Principal who is also the mother of the accused, did what a mother is expected to do-shield her child. “The Principal said she will look in to the matter and begged me not to involve the Police. I later on that day go to the Police station to open a case,” she adds. The accused was
While many his age celebrated Youth Day by playing differ-ent sporting codes, he and two friends embarked on robbing spree, leaving some of their victims half-naked. “They robbed people on the streets of their expensive shoes and trousers, among other things,” said police spokesman Capt Alfred Nakana. Nakana said fortunately the sector patrol vehicle was in the area and some of the victims described
the suspects to the officers. “They spotted them and man-aged to arrest one, who was also found in possession of the firearm,” he said. Nakana said the other two suspects managed to get away and that the police are still searching for them. The man who was arrested was charged with armed robbery and posses-sion of an unlicensed firearm. He will soon appear in the Benoni Magistrates Court.

Who said winter school holi-days are meant to be spent indoors? Combat the cold by attending the Arebapaleng School Holiday programme presented by the City of Ekurhuleni from June 25 to July 13. Primary school learners are invited to par-ticipate in various indigenous games like ibhathi, umgusha, diketo, Chigago, drie stok-
kies and more. These games will take place at various in-formal sports fields – a much safer environment than in the streets where these games are usually played. For more in-formation on the programme, residents may contact Callie Hall (Tembisa and Kemp-ton Park) on 011 999 3797 and Rina Labuschagne (oth-er areas) on 011 999 8842.

The Ekurhuleni Metropoli-tan Municipality has given a group of youngsters from Tembisa some hope for a brighter future. This hope comes in the in the form of free photography classes. An extension of the Ekurhuleni Art Development School, the Ekurhuleni Photography class held at the Tembisa Multi-purpose Centre is currently being piloted with the aim
of rolling it out to other parts of Ekurhuleni. Since Septem-ber last year, the group of 11 has been taught the basics of digital photography and also how to use Photoshop for image editing. “The classes have given the guys another chance at life as it helps get them off the streets,” said Dermot Sculy, a lecturer at the Ekurhuleni Photog-raphy classes. “When they
came here they didn’t even know how to operate a cam-era. The closest thing to a cam-era they had ever come to was cameras on their cell phones, but now they have so much potential to make it.” The Metro provided the learners with the venue, free classes, a lecturer and ten digital cam-eras. Frank Ngoetjana, one of the students, is thrilled at the opportunity. He said: “When I

LETTERS AND SUGGESTIONS
Friday 29 JUNE 2012
I would like to ask the South African`s why do we always find a reason to blame people, and yet we doing nothing to help ourselves. The issue about all these Pakistan Shops that are dominating in our townships. People are complaining that the Pakistani`s are taking over our Townships, but we are the same people that rent out our houses for them to trade in them, and the problem I have noticed with most blacks who are in business are jealous of each other, and that is why our businesses fail. Why don`t we do the same thing like the other races do? You running the same business, and are in the same street, but when you go to stock, why not Club in and stock in Bulk? We need to STOP blaming this useless government, and do things ourselves. I have noticed with most black business people it is that we are jealous of each other, and that is why our businesses fail. Why don`t we do the same thing like the other races do? We need to STOP blaming this useless government, and do things ourselves.

I’m so angry with myself; I went to Atm to with-draw money at the Mall. My Cellphone rang and I left the money and after the call I searched my pockets and there was nothing and by the time I went back the security said the guy who was following me took it. maaara hw can u take my money when I was one step away from the Atm
Patricia Mokale
Last week I was mugged by a 16 year old, he didn’t harm or hurt me. The only thing he did was to point me with a knife he had. I am still scared even now. What on earth drive a child his age to do that? I still ask myself that, his parent if he comes home with things that they didn’t buy what do they say to them? Kids of Today need to change.
Sindi Majozi
Nomasonto Nzapheza
I hate men with long hair and then they comb push back. Or even worse, a man who cuts his hair like the late Vuyo Mokoena.
Nomfundo Tayke
A man who drinks beer, I just hate the smell that comes with it especially when he wakes up.
Nozizwe Qwelane
A man who pees on the corner of the street or shop that never washes his hands. Instead he would go play dice. After winning he goes straight to buy Kota and eats.
Jenniffer Masole
I hate a man who likes sitting on the passenger’s seat of a car and offers to give me a lift whilst the car is not even his.
Zanele Khoza
I just don’t like white kick & boboza on men. They just don’t do it for me.
Lerato mokoena
A man who beats up his girlfriend for no apparent reason.
We went out on the streets of Daveyton and Etwatwa to ask our youth female fans what they dislike or what turns them
off the most about young men:
As the light shines through my window I awaken. I am reminded once more that today is another day stolen from borrowed time. Today I will live and live to will. I will be thankful for all I love and all I have Every breath taken in shall be full as I take in the world around me. I will push away the
pain, hide my tears and sorrow and drown out all that threatens my very being. Today I will climb that rock and sit on top staring and soaking in the beauty of nature, of life. I will let the wind whisper in my ears and flow through me filling my every sense, breath-ing life once more into
my soul. Just for today I shall truly live, making the best of everything, because I know as the sun sets and sleeps, so shall I. I will be there once more to watch the last ray of the sun disappear, knowing that one day it may never awaken me. Just for today I will live

cording to my knowledge it takes a few weeks to approve any form of qualification in South Africa so how pos-sible is it to get an approved call centre certificate in just a few days? These fraudsters should be exposed and it is up to us as citizens to do that. The police have enough to deal with so we can’t always rely on them. For now the least you can do for yourself is to stay away from shady looking buildings and the people associated with them.
The unemployment rate in our country has become one of the most stressful issues one can ever think of. There is nothing as painful as going to school for years spend thousands of rands, graduate and then go back home to suffer in the war against unemployment. Then you meet intelligent fraudsters that roam our streets like hungry hyenas. They are aware of this terrible situation and use it to make money-your money. They tell you what
you want to hear and lure you into their deadly traps. The latest scam that is making the rounds in Johannesburg is that of a group of Nigerians who are claiming to be MTN call centre agents. They even cre-ated a website and advertised themselves, stating that they are looking for people who want to work in the call cen-tre. Being the nosy journalist that I am, I had a bad feeling about them and could smell a story from a mile away. When you call their landline a lady
answers and tells you to leave your number and that she will sms you the directions where you should go for your in-terview. The sms states the direction and time of the in-terview only. The place is sit-uated four blocks away from the Carlton Centre in the Jhb CBD. When I got there, there were thousands of young peo-ple seeking employment. The people who were in charge there all had a Nigerian ac-cent and certainly did not look professional at all. It was
explained to everyone in the shady looking room about the process for the day. Only then were the poor people told that is a recruiting agency “with a good record” with guaranteed job placements. The catch was that you have to pay R500 and do a call centre training course for the whole week and immediately qualify for a cer-tificate and then get placed in a company. Apparently thou-sands of people have been flocking there since the 15th of this month, hoping to make
a better life for themselves. I looked around the “so called office” and realised that their company was only registered last year but they already claim to have deals with big companies around Midrand, Braamfontein, Auckland Park and Sandton for guaranteed call centre placements. So people were told they can’t get help for free and the money was for administration. The recruit-ing is rumoured to be endin-gon the 15 March 2012. Ac-

The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries ap-proved the publication of the revised Regulations relating to the classification, packing and marking of fat spreads intended for sale in the Re-public of South Africa. These regulations were published on 9 March 2012 and will come into effect twelve months af-ter this publication date. The
classification system for fat spreads in use in South Africa since 16 March 1990 was as follows: For example, yellow fat spreads: Margarine (80-86% fat Medium fat spread (50-65% fat) Low fat spread (35-45% fat) The yellow fat spreads may contain only plant fat/oil. The classifica-tion is the same for the white fat spreads, except that these
fat spreads may contain a mixture of plant/animal/ma-rine oils and fats. From the above-mentioned, it is visible that there were ranges where no other fat spread may be sold–for example, the range between the medium fat spread and margarine (from 65% to 80%). The revised South African classification for fat spreads is now as fol-
lows: For example, yellow fat spreads: Margarine (80-90% fat) X% fat spread (all below 80% fat) (X indicates the actual fat percentage The composition of the yellow and white fat spreads remains the same as previously indi-cated. However, the consum-er must take note that below the margarine class, all fat spreads will be marked as, for
example, “75% fat spread”, “50% fat spread”, “20% fat spread”, etc. The class names Medium fat spread and Low fat spread and their fat ranges will fall away. For these X% fat spreads, the intended use of the fat spread must be indicated on the container, such as reference to frying, baking, spreading, etc, based on the performance of the
fat spread concerned. These changes will be phased in by the industry in the year start-ing from 9 March 2012 and as of 9 March 2013, no fat spreads may be sold under the class names Medium fat spread and Low fat spread.

Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi, MP, the Deputy Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, will lead World Oceans Day Celebra-tions in East London, on 08 June 2012. The 8th of June is observed internationally as World Oceans Day. While the day has been unofficially celebrated since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, in December 2008, the United Nations General Assem-bly passed a resolution to offi-cially recognise World Oceans Day on June 8 each year. The observance of World Oceans Day in South Africa allows us to highlight the impact of oceans on our country and the various ways in which oceans contribute to our country. Celebrating the day provides the Department with an opportunity to highlight the considerable challenges we face in dealing with marine pollution, maintaining the oceans’ capac-ity to regulate the global climate, supply essential ecosystem ser-vices and provide sustainable livelihoods and safe recreation. The 2012 theme is: “Knowing our Oceans, Safeguarding their benefits.” The theme emphasises the fundamental importance of understanding the oceans and the way in which they impact on society. Our oceans provide nu-merous benefits that can only be secured and safeguarded through
knowledge. The benefits derived from the oceans include: climate regulation, waste absorption, sustenance (sea food), economic development (tourism, seafood distribution), transportation (shipping), medicine (Biomedical products from marine plants and animals) and recreation (swim-ming). As part of the 2012 World Oceans Day celebrations, Dep-uty Minister Mabudafhasi will also launch the new Recreational Coastal Water Quality Guidelines as a further tool to assist Govern-ment in safeguarding the benefits we derive from the ocean, in par-ticular benefits in terms of public recreation. Oceans are among our biggest resources for life on the earth but are also our biggest dumping grounds. Many ma-terials that are dumped into our oceans affect the quality of ocean and coastal waters. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, marine pollution caused by sewage, litter, oil spills and dumped materials, is consid-ered to be one of the five greatest threats to the ocean environment. South Africa has a coastline of over 3,000km with hundreds (if not thousands) of beaches desig-nated for the public’s enjoyment and recreation. In addition, South Africa is the only African coun-try that is an active participant in the International Blue Flag
Campaign, with 28 beaches ac-credited with a Blue Flag status. The water quality at South Af-rica’s beaches must be carefully monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the public’s health is not compromised. The monitor-ing and management of coastal water quality directly contrib-utes to the health of our ocean, and ultimately our communities. East London, like several other coastal cities in South Africa, has a number of magnificent sandy beaches that are frequently used for tourism and recreational pur-poses such as swimming, surfing, diving and angling. However, East London is experiencing challenges in its management of municipal wastewater, which significantly threatens seawa-ter quality at its public beaches. The Hood Point sewage outfall located along the West Bank for instance, has for some time been discharging untreated sewage di-rectly into the surf zone. Studies have found high levels of sewage pollution along several important beaches. The commemoration of World Oceans Day in East Lon-don will contribute significantly toward awareness-raising of the human health risks associated with poor coastal water quality, and therefore the need for ongo-ing monitoring and observation.

The International Divine Faith Ministries recently do-nated food parcels, clothes and blankets to the residents of Mogoba informal settle-ment, in Etwatwa. “The church is really happy helping
the people of Mogoba, we are just sad that we could not help everyone,” said Sizwe Sibiya, the International Di-vine Faith Ministries secre-tary. The congregation do-nates essentials to various

SAPS celebrated youth day with Etwatwa youth
The Etwatwa Social Crime Prevention together with the youth of Etwatwa celebrated 16 June youth day in style. Police Spokesperson Consta ble Timothy Masilela said the
motive was to create safer en-vironment amongst the youth and to make them partake in various sporting codes. “We wanted to reach a number of young people to encour-age them to include sport
ing activities as part of their lifestyle,” he said. The focus was to find ways to keep the youth of Etwatwa busy and help them recognise their tal-ents. In past years, statistics revealed that the youth find
no meaning to celebrate the June 16 day and instead they celebrate it by abusing alco-hol, clubbing and violence. Masilela said this year they aimed at changing the mindset and commemorate the event
by showcasing the talent of the youth and strive to make a difference. Amongst the ac-tivities were art and Culture celebrated at Tshepo-Themba Hall in Etwatwa and various sporting codes at Apex Sport
