Alberton has been in the news the past week for two major negative incidents, one being the assault at the Spur and the other one being the truck accident in South Crest. We, as a community, should also spread good news, so this week I would like to thank Seugnet Strydom for sharing the good news of the kind-hearted doctors who did everything they could to help her daughter and their family.

Truck crashes into service station
On Friday 27 June, the driver of a truck lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the Coys Caltex Service Station, on the corner of Voortrekker and Paul Kruger Roads, in South Crest. According to Alberton SAPS, the truck first bumped a bakkie and then crashed into the service station where it hit a Mercedes Benz, injured one of the female petrol attendants and crashed into the store. Police believe that the truck’s brakes had failed. Fortunately, no petrol pumps were hit and Caltex emergency personnel were on the scene to ensure the area was safe. The driver and passenger of the Mercedes Benz, Theresa Nightingale and her son
Alistair Johnson, were fortunate to escape unharmed. “I was busy paying for the petrol when I heard the brake noises and I saw people running; then I just felt a bang and the car tipped over,” said Theresa. “We are very grateful to have no injuries,” she said. She went on to say that she had not removed her seatbelt when she reached the petrol station and it had held her safely in place.Tony Ribeira, owner of the station, is thankful that the office employees were at the back of the building when the truck collided with the store. Paramedics on the scene confirmed that the driver of the bakkie and the petrol attendant sustained minor injuries and that the truck-driver sustained cuts, bruises and a concussion. All three were taken to hospital.
Over 7000 meals packed in a dayAlberton Lions Club joined forces with several other Lions clubs in the district last Saturday when they got together and packed food parcels to feed hungry people in the community. Through Sizani Foods, they packed over 7000 meals containing rice and lentils in one sachet and fortified soya packed separately in another sachet. Food parcels will be distributed to various Early Childhood Centres, the elderly, soup kitchens and feeding schemes throughout the community. The food parcels are welcomed by hungry people and projects such as these make a huge difference in everyone’s lives. Alberton Lions Club would like to thank the
other Lions Clubs for joining this project and making it such a fun, successful day. It is amazing what can be done when service organizations, such as different Lions International Clubs, get together to make a huge impact through serving. Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization with more than 1.3 million members in approximately 45 000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.If you are interested in being part of a social, serving club please contact Lindy on 071 578 0986 or [email protected] .

Businesses in Adamson Ave, Alrode South are complaining about scrap and recyclable materials dumped in front of their premises. This is a consequence of the scrapyard and recycling plant in the street which attracts informal recycling entrepreneurs selling scrap materials and other recyclable items. Unfortunately, after sorting through the materials they have collected, the entrepreneurs tend to dump whatever they cannot sell to the plant. The result is a rubbish dump in the street in front of the businesses in the area. “We have been in contact with the Metro Police for some time now and they say that they will send someone out but this never happens,” said Zandru Gouws from one of
the businesses in the area. “We have also reported this to Ekurhuleni. They said they will send the contractor
appointed to clean the area but that there won’t be someone permanent to keep it clean,” he continued.
Scrap dumped in Alrode street
RUBBISH IN THE STREET: Businesses are complaining.
There is nothing more rewarding than giving a little of your time back to put a smile on someone’s face and warmth in your heart.
In the second quarter of 2014, Alberante BMW started installing a Photovoltaics system that will compensate the site’s power consumption. Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using
semi-conductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. The solar system will achieve and provide a peak capacity of 273.78 kWp and produce an estimated annual yield of 504,355kWh. 1 404 solar panels were installed on an area of 1 792m².
It is critically important that parents do everything possible to protect their children from sustaining serious injuries in a car accident. For this reason The Glen Shopping Centre, in conjunction with Netcare and Netcare 911, held a Trauma Injury Prevention (TIP) family day on 21 June on the shopping centre’s rooftop.Other contributors which made the day possible were Wheel Well, Cartrack, Masterdrive, the SAPS and the Johannesburg Metro Police.Wheel Well gave away 200 car seats to parents in exchange for a donation. Regardless of the size of their donations, the parents could choose their preferred car-seats. Peggy Mars, founder of Wheel Well, demonstrated to each parent how their car-seat worked. Old car-seats and bicycle helmets could also be brought to be cleaned and refurbished for their owners or for donation to others.Masterdrive displayed goggles that simulated the average person’s vision after eight beers and the public was encouraged to put them on and try to walk on selected blocks. There was also a Skid Master vehicle to teach drivers how to counter-steer after losing control of their vehicles. Imperial’s I Pledge program provided an opportunity for drivers to commit to make the roads safer.Rene Grobler, who heads up the Netcare TIP programme, said the aim was to reach and educate as many parents and guardians as possible about the benefits of using car restraints. Grobler pointed out that every year in South Africa, around 10 000 people die and another 150 000 people are injured in road accidents. “Studies show that, in the case of vehicle accidents, injuries are often
prevented and lives are saved when adults and children are properly restrained. Fitted safety belts and child restraints have been found to absorb the energy caused by the rapid deceleration which occurs during a crash. In addition, restraints reduce the risk of ejection from the vehicle and, if fitted properly, spread the forces caused by a crash over stronger bones rather than softer internal organs,” observed Grobler. The South African National Road Traffic Act states that all reasonable steps must be taken to protect children from injury while travelling with them on the roads, and the benefits of properly restraining children are clear. According to Grobler, rearward-facing child restraints have been shown to reduce injury by as much as 76% and severe injury by 92%. Forward-facing restraints are less effective but still reduce injury by 34% and severe injury by 60%.
ENSURING CHILDREN’S SAFETY: Glenny, Dean Myburgh (The Glen) and Netcare’s TIP team was on hand to educate and answer any questions.

Angels do existSeugnet Strydom writes:
My daughter Daniella is eight and has severe quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy. She recently underwent major surgery, and was under the care of critical care paediatrician Dr Despina Demopoulos. Dr Charles Carrapinha, Dr Demopoulos’s husband, was Daniella’s surgeon. I can find no way and no words to thank these two amazing, committed, dedicated, kind people enough. I have been to many specialists, doctors and surgeons with my daughter, and never in my life have I met such wonderful doctors. To me they are not only the best doctors but also the most caring and loving angels send from above. It is sad to say, but there are doctors who do not see children with disabilities as living, breathing people. Some of these doctors give up before they have even tried to help these children. Dr Despina and Dr Carrapinha, however, treated my little angel, Daniella, like a
human being, with love, respect, care and dignity. They understood that Daniella is my child, my life, my everything, and did - and still do - care for me and my child. Thank you, Dr Despina and Dr Carrapinha, for everything that you have done for us, for taking such good care of my daughter - you treated her as if she were your own. You do amazing work, spending most of your life, every hour of every day, helping and caring for sick children. I can only imagine how tired you must get, because at the end you also just human, but never have I seen either one of you without a smile or a friendly greeting. You always listen and always explain. I never seen, heard or sensed angels until the day I met you two. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you for everything. You are absolutely wonderful, and I will be forever grateful that I have met you.love Seugnet and Daniella
Een van die mees invloedrykste Ou Testamentiese Teoloë van ons dag is sekerlik ‘n man met die naam Walter Brueggemann. In ‘n onlangse onderhoud met hom, waarin hy uitgevra is oor die rol van die Kerk vir vandag, het hy drie patrone geïdentifiseer wat die liggaam van Jesus Christus opreg betrokke sal hou by die lewens van mense.Die Kerk (per implikasie die dissipels van
Jesus Christus) behoort ‘n alternatiewe leefstyl te beoefen. Die Kerk behoort ‘n aktiewe rolspeler te wees in die vorming van opinies en beleid in die samelewing.Die Kerk behoort ‘n stem van waarheid te wees wat opreg verwoord wat aan die gang is.Daar is sekerlik baie te sê oor elkeen van hierdie drie, maar dit het my so bietjie laat dink oor die manier hoe ons Kerk is, watter impak dit maak in die samelewing. Meer as net dink het ek ook so bietjie kon droom oor die Kerk in 2014+Hoop jy kan ook bietjie droom...
So ek en Gysie was hierdie week uitgenooi na ‘n byeenkoms in die hartjie van Johannesburg. Maar ons is twee ‘plain’ plattelandse mense en het soos ‘n doring uitgestaan tussen die stadsmense. Mense se oë het gate in ons gebrand soos hulle na ons gestaar het. Dink jouself net in: ‘n boertjie met sy khaki klere, en ‘n ou vrou met haar blomme hoed, tussen al die mense met hul blink uitrustings en ‘grand’ aksente.Die byeenkoms was heel ‘interessant’ sal ek sê, en ons het die ondervinding geniet, maar op die einde van die dag is ek dolgelukkig in die klein dorpie waarin ons bly. TIP: Beleef soveel ondervindings as wat jy kan, sodat jy weet wat in die wêreld daar buite aangaan. Maar klou ook vas aan jou identiteit want dit definieer uiteindelik wie jy is.

After serving 4 years with the Alberton SAPS, Col van Vuuren is wellknown in Alberton; but now the time has come for him to take over the reigns at Brackendowns SAPS. “Being part of Brackendowns SAPS, I would like to encourage community participation. I am aiming to improve the crime situation in the area and to improve the service as well,” he told tame TIMES. “I have an open door policy - a member of the SAPS or a member of the public can come and see me any time to discuss crime issues or issues regarding the station,” he continued.
WELCOME: Col van Vuuren has taken over the reins at Brackendowns SAPS
Tracking system assists in arrests
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Intervention Unit members received a lookout alert for a stolen Toyota Dyna truck that was stolen in Bedfordview on 18 June. The unit arrested two suspects and confiscated the truck and an accomplice vehicle in Eikenhof later that day.The tracker system fitted to the truck enabled the officers to co-ordinate the search with the tracker company members. The stolen truck’s trail was followed from Kliprivier Road, Alberton and through Kibler Park and eventually cornered on R554 in Eikenhof. A male suspect found driving the truck was
arrested and he informed the Metro Police that his accomplice was escorting him in a white Kia sedan. The accomplice was pursued and arrested as he attempted to get away. Implements used for breaking open motor vehicles were found in the Kia sedan. A docket of possession of a stolen motor vehicle was registered at Mondeor police station against the pair. One is 51-years-old and the other 54-years-old. Both confiscated vehicles were booked in at Aeroton SAPS pound.The duo appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.
Six suspects were arrested for murder at the Little Eagle Spur in the Lemon Tree shopping centre on 22 June. It is alleged that the six suspects, aged between 23 and 27, assaulted 20-year-old Bradley du Preez after a bottle was thrown in their direction. The Alberton SAPS were called to the scene, and the suspects were arrested. They appeared in the Palm Ridge court on Tuesday 24 June, and the case was postponed until Friday 27 June. The suspects were charged with culpable homicide and will appear in court again on 8 August.It has been reported that the incident occurred in the smoking area after an argument between Du Preez and the six
suspects. It is not known what was said due to the fact that they were in the smoking area and no Spur staff were in that area when the argument took place. CCTV footage of the incident shows how one of the accused threw a rib-bone from his plate at the victim, which started the incident. Apparently, Du Preez was asked to leave the restaurant and then allegedly threw a bottle in the direction of the group. At this point the assault started. The staff and manager tried to break up the fight and the restaurant’s doors were locked in order to keep the six suspects inside while the SAPS were notified of the incident. Du Preez was declared dead on the scene and the suspects were arrested.
Assault leaves one dead
IMPOUNDED: The recovered truck.
Drug awareness monthJune is Word Drug Awareness month. Research has shown that drugs are still a major problem in the Alberton area. The following trends are particularly noticeable:
There is an increase in the variety and quality of drugs available on the South African market.The age of onset of experimentation is decreasing (i.e. young people who previously may not have experimented are now prone to doing so).
Peer pressure to experiment with drugs is very strong.
Very few drug-free entertainment places are available to youth specifically.
The youth are seeking “spirituality” not in religious activity but rather in the “out of body” experiences provided by drugs.
Knowledge about the potential for adverse consequences does not deter young people
from drug experimentation and abuse.Tell tale signs of possible abuse: - young people are aggressive, rebellious and undisciplined with little or no regard for authority; school marks drop noticeably, bunking of classes becomes a habit; continuous mood swings, increasing demand for money.
If you suspect your child might be involved with drugs, seeks professional advice.
Drug abuse often develops as a secondary problem, as drugs are seen by young people as an acceptable and highly effective way of dealing with problems.

HIT AND RUN: The body of a man was found alongside the palisade fence next to the R59.
Dead man found next to R59On Tuesday 24 June, tame TIMES received a call from an Alberante resident reporting a body found lying next to the R59. When we arrived, Fox Security were already on the scene and the SAPS arrived shortly thereafter. Workers who were on duty to fix the barrier on the R59 came across the body and reported it to Fox Security officers who were patrolling the area.It is believed that the victim was a homeless man who was walking along the R59 when a motorist hit him and drove off, but this could not be confirmed.

Fence-jumpers steal clothesOn the morning of 26 June, fence-jumpers were active in the Mayberry Park area, stealing newly washed clothes off residents’ washing-lines. At around 6am, members of the Brackendowns CPF and Fox Security Reaction and Tactical Unit recovered two black jerseys filled with newly washed clothes in J.G. Strydom Street, Mayberry Park. A fence-jumping thief had dumped the stolen clothes after being spotted by CPF and Fox Security members and they were handed in at Brackendowns SAPS

The badminton and cultural learners from Al-berton High are gearing up for their 2014 Euro-pean tour.In Badminton, the boys’ 1st team won the SA Schools Championship in 2009, then went on to play in the All Africa Games in Mauritius, placing 3rd overall. In 2013, the girls’ 1st team placed second at the SA Schools Championships, adding to their tremendous growth. Since the inception of the championships in 2008, Alberton High has been on the top ten list for six consecutive years. Culturally, in the Public Speaking Guild Competi-tions the learners brought home two trophies in 2011 and 2013 for consistent excellence. In 2013 the Eisteddfod learners racked up 42 item winner certificates and the Drama club added another three trophies to the cabinet in 2014.Europe’s vast cultural history and a training ses-sion from the German Bundesliga will provide these youngsters with an experience that will undoubtedly enrich their lives. “Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them” – W.A. Ward. To the Alberton High tourists: may you never miss another sunrise.

Ekurhuleni boksers by SA KampioenskappeSestien manlike boksers en twee dames boksers van Ekurhuleni, Wes-Gauteng, Noord-Gauteng en JABO, gaan tussen 2-6 Julie aan die SA Elite Boks Kampioenskappe in Oos-Londen deelneem. Die kampioenskappe vind plaas by die bekende Mdantsane sport-kompleks en boksers van regoor Suid-Afrika neem deel aan die elite byeenkoms. Die Gauteng afrigters sluit in Gert de Klerk (Ekurhuleni), Duppie du Plooy, Frikkie Gouws, Willie Consalves, Nicky Ness en bestuurder Piet van Vuuren.Supersport 8 op DSTV saai die kampioenskappe as ‘Road to Rio’ uit. GAUTENG: Die boksers en afrigters tydens voorbereiding vir
Alberton gebore Lood de Jager het sy debuut vir die Springbok rugbyspan op 14 Junie teen Wallis, op Kingspark in Durban, gemaak.Op Saterdag 28 Junie het hy gewys dat hy die groen en goud trui beslis verdien, toe hy twee drieë in die wedstryd teen Skotland, in Port Elizabeth, gedruk het. Die Springbokke het dié wedstryd 55-6 gewen. Lood was ook een van die gunstelinge op die veld en die kommentators het hom deur die wedstryd geprys vir sy goeie spel.Die 21-jarige wat tans as slot vir die Cheetahs speel, en nou ook die Springbok titel agter sy naam kan voeg,
is in 1992 in Alberton gebore. Hy het sy skoolloopbaan aan die Oos-Rand voltooi by Jan van Riebeeck en Hugenote en toe verder by die Noordwes Universiteit se Potchefstroom kampus studeer. In 2012 is hy as deel van die Luiperds se Currie Beker span gekies maar het nie speeltyd gekry nie. Hy is egter by die 0/21 Provinsiale Kampioenskappe raakgesien en het hy ‘n plek in die Vrystaatse rugbyspan verdien waar hy Superrugby ondervinding kon kry. Uiteindelik is hy vir die Springbok span gekies en vervul hy sy lewenslange droom. Rugbykenners reken Lood de Jager het nog ‘n blink toekoms in Suid-Afrikaanse rugby.
