Children are born artists, dancers and storytellers. They are naturally creative and enjoy all kinds of artistic expression, including story-telling, music, dramatic plays, dances and visual arts. With this in mind, the City of Ekurhuleni has introduced an arts and music program for children starting from early childhood.The City recently hosted a children’s arts festival at Zonkizizwe Sports Ground for youngsters to showcase their talents. Schools, parents and members of the community came in numbers to witness the event. The festival included performances by children

from early childhood development centres from the area. The children sang, danced and showcased their talents in dramatic plays and visual arts.The children were also introduced to indigenous African art and music, taught how to play musical instruments like the marimba and mbira, and shown how to create their own instruments from bottles, cans and other recyclable materials. The program will continue through the holidays, keeping the children busy, and away from negative activities like drugs.

Natalspruit Hospital management is appealing to the public to collect the bodies of their relatives who have died while receiving care at the institution.Some of these patients died a month ago, but have still not been collected for a dignified burial. The hospital management has also noticed that some community members vanish without a trace when they realise that their relatives are about to die and simply dump them at the institution. After visiting the addresses written on the records of such patients on their day of admission to the hospital, management has discovered that they are often incorrect. To make arrangements to collect your loved ones before they have a paupers’ burial, please call the hospital mortuary on 011 035 2300 and ask for Masesi Mahlangu.

Below are the names of the deceased and the dates of death of those who are scheduled to be buried in 21 days:Sibusiso Sibisi…………….....................................died on: 16/05/2014Nonhlanhla Chiliza……….....................................died on: 17/05/2014Isaac Thwala…………..........................................died on: 20/05/2014Alfred Khoza…………….......................................died on: 23/03/2014Zelimusa Ngcobo…………....................................died on 24/05/2014Andries Mothapeng………....................................died on: 26/05/2014Petros Tjakamo…………...................................…died on: 27/05/2014Aaron Mabaso……………....................................died on: 04/06/2014Emmanuel Manyike………....................................died on: 06/06/2014

After a Hyundai H1 minibus belonging to an Ekurhuleni Municipality employee was hijacked on Wednesday 11 June from the driver in Dawn Park at around 10pm, the investigations of the EMPD Kathorus Crime Prevention Task Team directed them to a notorious, wanted criminal living in Katlehong. They contacted him on 14 and 15 June to find out about his possible involvement in the hijacking of the minibus. Investigations by the EMPD Kathorus Task Unit later revealed that when the suspect realized that the metro police were hot on his heels, he attempted to siphon money from the victim by claiming he had already sold the mini bus and needed money to reclaim it from the “buyer”. Informants were able to provide metro police officers with several contact numbers of the suspect, who was given a stern warning to surrender himself, as well as the minibus, to the police. The hijacked vehicle was later found fairly intact, with its keys, at around 1am one morning in Katlehong and taken to a place where the owner could officially retrieve it.Police are still hunting for the suspect, whose name and place of residence is known.

Thabong Good Health Pharmacy put smiles on learners’ faces when they donated 35 school shoes at Villa Liza Secondary School re-cently. The pharmacy director, Khathutsh-elo Makhomisani, said the initiative came about after they realised that there are learners from impoverished backgrounds who commute daily to school with torn shoes. Makhomisani revealed that his parents could not afford to buy him school shoes while growing up.“We made it our mission that other learners should not endure the same pain I experienced while growing up. During winter, learners from im-poverished backgrounds absconded classes and some could not concen-trate because they walked barefoot to school,” said Makhomisani.He added that they have embarked on the school shoes drive in various parts of Gauteng. They have handed out a total of 160 school shoes pro-vincially and promise to extend the project countrywide soon. Speaking to tame TIMES, school teacher Albert Mudau said the school was grateful for the noble gesture.

“The initiative will help the needy learners of our school and ease pres-sure faced by parents. Other busi-nesses should follow the example set by Thabong Good Health Phar-macy and start ploughing back into the community. This is the beginning of a great partnership between our school and the pharmacy. Our school management and the principal are all supporting this programme.” One of the project beneficiaries, Hap-piness Lushaba, is excited about her gift of school shoes. “I am opti-mistic that the new school shoes will change my life and boost my confi-dence amongst my peers. Prior to the

intervention of the project, I used to go to school with torn shoes because my unemployed single parent could not afford.” For more information about the school shoes drive and Thabong Good Health Pharmacy services contact the pharmacy’s nearest branch at: Chris Hani Crossing Mall on 011 901 0027 or 901 0176.

The work of the recently deceased Metro FM DJ Eddie “King of Soul” Zondi left an indelible mark on the broadcasting career of Katlehong based radio presenter, Zamazulu “Queen of Soul” Mncwango. Mncwango was inspired by the late DJ Zondi and gained valuable knowl-edge while listening to his show, which touched many radio listeners countrywide.Kasie FM presenter Mncwango cur-rently presents the Kasie to Kasie programme. She became known through the first show that she pre-sented on the radio station, which was called Morning Glory.“Morning Glory was broadcast from 3 pm to 6 pm on weekends. After a while, I was given a new slot called Kasie to Kasie. It is a midweek pro-gramme running from 12 noon to 3 pm. The show is about giving as-

piring businesspeople an opportunity to market their businesses. We play a mix-ture of Soul, Kwaito, House, Pop, Afro Soul and other music genres,” explained the “Queen of Soul.”Mncwango regretted not hav-ing the opportunity to play music set with Zondi. She did, however, manage to play music set with the legendary Thabo Mokwele and Wilson B. Nkosi.Mncwango started her broadcasting career at Dur-ban with Nanda FM in 2009, while studying for a diploma in fashion designing. She worked at the station for nine months and then relocated to Katlehong where she joined Kasie FM in August 2012.

Lwazi Thanjekwayo says keeping time is essential for drivers to avoid the kind of rushing on the road that might otherwise cause acci-dents. He encourages driv-ers to sleep early, despite the fact that they want to watch FIFA World Cup games at night. They should have at least seven hours of sleep, he says, because waking up late results in motorists driv-ing too fast and becoming a danger on the road.What type of a car are you driving?I drive a BMW 3 series, E90, silver in colour Is this your first car?No, I am a big fan of cars - this is my fourth car.What features do you like about your car?I like everything about my car.Tell us why you love your car.It is comfortable and powerful, with a large en-gine capacity.Do you have any speed fines?I am a very careful driver. So, as a result, I

have only two speed fines. Is there something that you cannot leave behind when driving?I enjoying travelling with my wifeHave taken any long trips in your car? I have been to KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Polokwane. What advice would you like to give to bud-ding drivers?It is very important to look after your car as it symbolizes the kind of person you are.

Millions of youth are seen every day joining long queues of jobseekers, at a time when the economy is continuing to shrink and many families are finding themselves in financial distress. It is this situation that has inspired Katlehong-based Conny Kekana to start a small business with her friends. “Business success is not often guaranteed if one does not put in enough effort. When I started a few years ago, I came across both trials and errors, but I have soldiered on. The usual working environment is not a suitable place for a person like me because I am not a person who is good at taking instructions from seniors. Hence, I like to be my own boss.”Kekana is a co-owner of Sozo Educational Technology and Solution Company. She believes that for a business to be successful, proper research and marketing of the

business should be conducted. Kekana also emphasises that good product knowledge and setting of business goals are keys to a prosperous business. “I have attended several business seminars countrywide and gained valuable experience. Richard Maponya is my role model because he comes from the humble beginnings. However, the Maponya

Mall owner did not allow his poor background to determine his altitude,” said Kekana. Her short-term goal is to mentor aspiring township businesspeople, so that they can shift from being in

the jobseeker’s queue and start creating jobs for other people. She said they should start now because procrastination is a thief of time. “However,

they should be prepared to come across obstacles on their way to success.”

Almost 3 million South Africans between the ages of 18 and 24 are not in employment, education or training. One-third of our young men are jobless and almost 40% of our young women are unemployed. And the situation is becoming worse, not better. Youth unemployment - according to the official figures from Statistics South Africa - was 32,7% in 2008, but is now 36,1%.This means that over a third of South Africans between the ages of 15 and 34 have no income, no careers and very little, if any, work experience. Their lives are on hold. Unless they are fortunate enough to find the financial sponsorship to do so, they cannot marry, buy houses or study. They also cannot pay tax or save for retirement.Many manage to subsist by sharing a grandmother’s pension or a child’s social grant. As a result, South Africa has a huge and dangerous imbalance between tax-consumers and tax-payers. We have about 16 million recipients of social grants but only about 5 million payers of tax. This is not financially sustainable, especially as the current population ages and today’s tax-payers retire from their jobs and become pensioners. The situation is also not socially sustainable, especially as the numbers of long-term unemployed youth grow. According to the latest figures released by the Statistician-General,

almost half the youth in Free State are out of work and nearly two-thirds of 20- to 24-year-olds are in long-term unemployment. These are people with all the hope, energy and ambition of youth but no future. When neighbours return from work, they are still sitting on their parents’ sofas; while others drive past in cars, they are wearing holes in dusty street corners. Theirs is a twilight existence, one that makes them feel marginalized, unworthy and unwanted.The tragedy is that government has been vocal about promising jobs since 2004, raising hopes and aspirations but delivering little apart from an increase in civil service jobs and short-term Expanded Public Works Programme job opportunities that burden the tax-payer. South Africa has a serious shortage of skills but an education system that is one of the worst in the world, especially in job-friendly subjects like mathematics and science. Most of our artisans are fifty-something, but we currently produce only 3000 a year in place of the 30 000 previously produced every year under the old apprentice system. Still, government – and even some members of the opposition – promise to create jobs even though it is universally acknowledged by economists that governments are unable to increase permanent, sustainable jobs and can do no more than to create a business-friendly environment for the private sector to do so.

No work, no future for 36% of SA youth Opinion: By Palesa

The Katlehong based Phumelela (Victory) Combined School lives up to its name when it outshined all competing schools in Gauteng at the South African School Choral Eisteddfod competition in June. Speaking to tame TIMES, the school music conductor Bheki Masondo said they started by competing in the same competition locally and won in six categories, namely Meso Soprano, Solo, Tenor, Mixed Double quartet, Quartet and Mixed Choir in April. “We competed again in the same competition at the provincial stage of the competition this month. It was little bit tough at the provincial finals but we managed to win in three categories, namely Tenor, Mixed Double Quartet and Mixed Choir. We will be competing in the national finals of the same competition in Durban between 7-9 July,” explained Masondo.He said they will be representing Gauteng

schools in the Junior Secondary Schools category of the competition in Durban, reaching the national finals for the first time. “We would like to acknowledge the assistance we got from Pat Khumalo and Roger Khoza. We also valued the support we have been

given by our school teachers in making sure that our school choir became successful. We will continue practising in preparation for the national finals. We are optimistic that we will come back with a trophy from Durban,” concluded Masondo.

Sonqoba walloped 2-1

Sonqoba Primary School was finally knocked out of the Danone Provincial finals held recently at Reiger Park Stadium in Boksburg. The Katlehong-based school team got a shock when the opposing Benoni- based Farrarmere Primary School opened the score sheet with a beautiful goal from Breidyn Schaper. Sonqoba proved that they were not in the final by default when they replied with a goal that levelled the score 1-1.

Farrarmere Primary School team then proved that they wanted the Cup most when they re-doubled their efforts in a bid to rich the national finals. Their efforts were finally rewarded when Bradley Thomas scored the final goal of the match to make the score line 2-1. Speaking to tame TIMES, the winning coach Jacques Martinaglia said it was the first time his team had taken part in the tournament and reached the

national finals. “I am very proud of my team’s efforts. I am looking forward to playing in the national finals.” The losing coach, Wanda Mtshali, said they have lost to a tactically prepared team. He said the opponents deserved a place in the finals. “I am proud of my boys’ achievement. They are still young and the bulk of the team will still be here competing in the same tournament next year.”

Farrarmere Primary School put a stop to Sonqoba’s dominance in the Provincial finals of the Danone Cup.

The sky is the limit for the 12-year-old Boitumelo “Ronaldo” Mokotedi who has recently been given the opportunity to join the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy.Ronaldo’s incredible football talent was identified by the current PSL talent scout during the Gauteng Danone Cup finals held at Reiger Park Stadium in Boksburg recently. Speaking to tame TIMES, the Sonqoba Primary School team manager Abel Lebotho said he first discovered Ronaldo two years ago when he was playing soccer with his classmates during lunchtime. “I was impressed by his goal scoring and dribbling skills ability. The following year, I recommended him to our school under-11 soccer team. He repaid the faith invested in him by scoring 20 goals in all school soccer competitions in his debut season.”Ronaldo’s height and acrobatic skills have no equal among his peers on the soccer pitch. Lebotho said school teachers around Kathorus started rumours that Ronaldo is over-age and came to his school to double-check his birth certificate. He said rival teachers were disappointed when they discovered that the boy’s birth certificate definitely revealed his real age. “With the good training he will receive from Sundowns technical team and a five-star setup at Chloorkop, the boy will definitely develop to be a world class striker. He will be turning 12 -years -old this year but he is 1.6 meter tall,” said Lebotho.Boitumelo Mokotedi said he is impressed about his move to the PSL champions’ development team. “I am grateful to be part of the winning team. My parents and the school played a vital role in making this dream move come true.”
