Happy Heritage MonthSeptember is Heritage Month, but in most cases people fail to understand the meaning of heritage. Firstly, we tend to define a person as belonging to a certain race or tribe because of the food they eat, their language and the clothes they wear, to mention a few characteristics. Heritage is about our traditions and roots that show where a person belongs. It is crucial to know where we come from, as this is what guides us in life.With westernisation, most people are neglecting their cultures and becoming assimilated into other peoples’ cultures. On the other hand, those people whose cultures we are following are not even copying ours, which means they are proud of their cultures. This is a lesson to all of us to be proud and to preserve our own cultures. As we celebrate Heritage Month, let us show pride in our cultures by wearing our traditional regalia and doing all our cultural activities as a symbol of honouring this month. Happy Heritage Month…..
In a mission to resolve illegal land occupation, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) is calling upon the religious community to come forward to register their organizations and have them placed on the municipality’s database of churches. The accreditation process opened on 11 September and will run until 10 October 2014. Religious leaders can obtain and also submit application forms for accreditation at their nearest Customer Care Area (CCA) offices. The forms will be collected from the CCA by the Health and Social Development Department and feedback will be given to the applicants after the database has been formed. The registration will serve as part of an accreditation process to determine the eligibility of churches to access land and municipal facilities. This stems from discussions which took place at the Religious Summit held in Germiston in December
last year. At the Summit, religious leaders articulated their difficulties in acquiring land for their churches and four options were presented as a proposed solution for these: option 1 - leasing of schools owned by Department of Education as a short term solution; option 2 - leasing of Council-owned facilities as a short term solution; option 3 - leasing and acquiring of Council-owned land as a long term solution; and option 4 - EMM to construct Church Precincts, where space shall be shared by various churches on a rotational basis. While the Metro’s Real Estate Department pursues these options, the Health and Social Development Department has established an accreditation process which serves to gather information on the churches that exist within the region. Accreditation will provide the EMM with an indication of whether a religious formation meets the basic criteria to bid for Council-owned land.
According to Ekurhuleni Metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe, accreditation of churches will ensure the optimization of resources by streamlining processes that will lead to proper land management and further ensure accountability. The accreditation database will also be used when engaging with external stakeholders such as the Department of Education on the use of schools as places of worship. Gadebe urges churches to apply to register. He said accredited churches will distinguish themselves from non-accredited churches and will therefore have the advantage of being eligible to obtain land through the bidding process. “The accredited churches will qualify to be prioritized for the use of municipal facilities as a place of worship and the accreditation is free of charge,” said Gadebe.
Ekurhuleni to register churches
VANDERBIJLPARK. – What happens when a renowned female South African rock singer, guitarist, and song-writer teams up with an Indian-born South African comedian, actor and doctor? Magic!This is according to Alwine Naude, Alumni Coordinator at the Vaal Triangle Campus of the North-West University (NWU Vaal) and organiser of the NWU Vaal Alumni Gala Dinner 2014. This year, alumni and friends of the campus from across South Africa will be treated to a unique entertainment experience featuring Karen Zoid and Riaad Moosa. The theme of this year’s event is “Celebrate” and the event serves a dual purpose; not only does it serve as a platform from where the campus can celebrate its alumni community
but also the 10th anniversary of the founding of the North-West University. The North-West University (with its three campuses) came into being on 1 January 2004 as part of the transformation of the higher education landscape in South Africa. The institutions that came together to create the NWU were the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education (PU for CHE) and the University of North-West (UNIBO). In the case of the Vaal Triangle Campus, the staff and students of the Sebokeng Campus of the Vista University were also incorporated. The event will take place at the Quest Conference Estate in Vanderbijlpark on Thursday 30 October and the cost amounts to R2 300 per table of ten guests or R250 per
person. For more information or bookings, please contact Alwine on 082 802 9299 or send an email [email protected] .

As South Africa celebrates heritage month, the City of Ekurhuleni is preparing to leave a lasting legacy for the people of Ekurhuleni
with the development of a new transport service.
The new transport service dubbed an Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) is set to change the face of Ekurhuleni with an innovative service that will make travelling across the city quicker, safer and more affordable.
The IRPTN will transform the City by providing bus rapid transit (BRT) services along dedicated bus lanes. These bus routes will connect with new complementary bus routes, existing buses, train services, cycle paths and walkways as well as mini-bus taxi services to ensure that people can get around easily and quickly. Construction has already started and the cycle paths and walkways, that are part of the non-motorised transport facilities, have already transformed parts of Tembisa, Kempton Park and Boksburg.
The IRPTN will also make it easier and safer for people who are physically challenged, including the elderly, the visually impaired and pregnant women, to get around. The new service will make use of state-of-the art universal access facilities including pedestrian crossing bridges, equipped with lifts. The facilities will open up the city to the disabled community within Ekurhuleni.
The first route, which will start operating in mid-2016, will run from the Tembisa Hospital to Vosloorus. The trunk route infrastructure will be extended in phases and will run past Kempton Park CBD, OR Tambo International Airport and Boksburg.
“A major infrastructure project like the IRPTN takes many years to complete but we are transforming the city one brick at a time. Already, communities across Ekurhuleni can see walkways and cycle
paths taking shape. These are your facilities to use and we encourage communities to take care of them so that future generations can also enjoy them,” says Transport Planning and Provision HOD, Yolisa Mashilwane.
Since work began in April, construction has taken place on the complementary route between Tembisa Hospital and the Tembisa Civic Centre. Reconstruction of Rondebult Road is underway and construction of non-motorised transport facilities as well as preliminary work on the IRPTN trunk route is also taking place.
This innovative transport project isn’t just about buses and transport but will help to reconfigure the city into a modern Metropolitan that offers improved quality of life to its citizens.
“We don’t just want to give people buses we want to create an empowering heritage for all to share in. By reducing travel times and providing regular buses on convenient routes, Ekurhuleni citizens can spend more time with their families. All these intangible benefits really change people lives and we hope to leave a legacy that ensures people can prosper and thrive,” Mashilwane explains.

400 drug suspects were arrested by officers from Vosloorus Police Station from May to 10 September, which prompted the Vosloorus Crime Prevention Youth Desk to host a drug awareness campaign at Hawai in Vosloorus Extension 8 recently.Brigadier Themba Denge, the station commander of Vosloorus Police Station, expressed his concern over the escalating number of drug arrests around Vosloorus during his address to the community at the event. “More than 50 houses in Vosloorus have been affected by burglary in the month of August. The plasma and flat screen televisions and laptops are among the reported stolen goods. When we analyse these crime activities, most took place in the afternoon when people were at work,” said Denge.He added that the youth desk should mobilise the youth to discuss the issues related to drugs and their consequences. “Youth are future leaders and if they are sinking in drugs, there is no one who is going to lead the country. We have to work together with local stakeholders to fight drug abuse in our community,” concluded Denge.SANCA member David Maimai described the various stages of drug abuse. He said the first stage is the experimental stage when the youth start smoking cigarettes and warned adults to refrain from smoking in front of their
children. The second stage is the occasional stage, when they smoke or inject drugs occasionally for social use. The third stage is that of regular use, which is followed by the addiction stage. The signs and symptoms of drug abuse are red or black eyes, dry lips, black nails, high blood pressure, lack of respect and misbehaviour. Maimai urged youth and parents with children who are addicted to drugs to visit their organization for assistance so that they can be referred to
rehabilitation centres.Sergeant Sibongile Mambane of the Vosloorus social crime prevention unit added that they are searching for drug dealers and the houses where drugs are sold. “We are appealing to community members with information regarding drug dealers to report to the station. Vosloorus is booming in terms of business and drugs will have a negative impact,” said Mambane.

I was on the verge of a financial breakdown when I met Akeem. I was very uncertainabout the future because my life was not getting any better and I could not take itanymore.
He referred me to Akeem for help. So I decided to go and have my last chance as I was in a financial crisis.I booked an appointment & paid R100 consultation fee.
It was on a Saturday when we played the lotto & casino games,
Now my debts & house bond are all paid off. Even though others have failed
to deliver to your expectation, don't lose hope! This may be your last chance to break through no matter what problem you’re facing in life. Visit Akeem & experiencea new beginning in life like me.
For over 7-years I had tried seeking help from different prophets but they only kepton asking me for more & more money without any single results. Luckily I met an old friend of mine who told me how Akeem had helped him to re-unite with his ex-wife after 9-years of divorce.
He then performed a special prayer to bless me, then gave me the FREEsuper magic ring & money wallet for lotto & casino games;
I wish I knew about Akeem long before, I could not have lived such a miserable life.
And without me saying asingle word to Akeem, he read my fortune & accurately told me everything about my past & present life. I was shocked! Every single detail about me wasso true.
and we were so surprised we had the winning numbers after 7-years of trying & failing to win.
Happy couple; Mr CK Cedric & his lovely wife show off their winning ticket after they choose the winning numbers. For 7-years they had tried & failed to win till they met Akeem.
Lethulwazi Comprehensive School learners scooped position two out of 45 schools in Ekurhuleni at the district heritage competition.The competition was held at Stone Ridge camp site in North West. Lethulwazi was awarded with a trophy and certificates of participation went to both learners and teachers. Tsakani High School, which took
position one in the competition, is proceeding to provincial level.Mathapelo Makumbela, educator and facilitator of the heritage competition, said the learners first participated in the Ekurhuleni South district and won top position before proceeding to the regional level. “Through this competition the learners get to know their roots and are taught how to preserve their heritage. It also helps to boost the learner’s confidence, leadership skills and research techniques,” said Makumbela.
Thabang Mapheto, a learner who took part in the competition, said, “We have taken responsibility for preserving our heritage and knowing our cultural backgrounds. We have learned research and management skills, team work and presentation skills.” He added that using a projector device during the presentation was a challenge, but Mapheto said they will make sure that they teach the Grade 9 pupils how to use it in preparation for next year’s competition.
The Heritage Month competition takes place annually and focusses on Grade 10 pupils. Each year, schools are given topics, and are required to identify a little-known heritage site and to explain why its future is in danger and how can it be preserved and made known to the world. They are also encouraged to conduct research on unsung heroes and the difference they can make in society. This year’s theme was “20 years of democracy.”

Missing 28-year-old man
Zola Ntsodo (28) went missing on 2 September 2013. He was last seen on his way to board a taxi going to Johannesburg from Kwanele section in Katlehong. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts should contact Warrant Officer France Sithusa on 082 524 5381\ 011 617 363 \ report to the nearest police station.
ATM /bank syndicates on the riseVosloorus SAPS are warning the community of Kathorus about syndicates that target clients withdrawing cash from ATMs or banks.The syndicates operate mostly at malls, targeting unsuspecting shoppers. Captain Piet Rossouw, Communications officer of Vosloorus Police Station said, “The community should be aware of fraudsters waiting to defraud them at the malls. The fraudsters are targeting people withdrawing money from ATM machines, banks or money outlets. A member of the syndicate will walk up to an unsuspecting
person who recently withdrew cash and drop a bundle of money. A second member of the syndicate, who will also “witness” the money being dropped, will approach the unsuspecting person who recently withdrew cash and show the person the abandoned bundle of cash lying on the ground. The syndicate member will then convince the unsuspecting person to follow him quickly to a spot where they can share the abandoned cash. As soon as they reach a spot where they cannot be seen by the public, fellow syndicate members arrive and rob him or her of their money.”
Below are some useful crime prevention tips:• Be alert and conscious of your
surroundings when using the ATM.
• Never give your card or PIN (Personal Identification Number) to anyone, for any reason.
• Do not write your PIN on the card or anything that is kept with the card.
• Do not insert your card until asked to do so by the display screen.
• Never use an ATM with a blank screen and, if the ATM is obscured from view or poorly lit, leave immediately and find another ATM.
• Stand close to the ATM and use your body and hand as a shield to make sure nobody sees you keying in your PIN.
• Also, make sure you keep your hand over the card slot to make sure nobody can swap or take your card.
• Never accept help from strangers when using an ATM. You should be wary of strangers asking for help.
• Criminals work in teams - one to distract you while the other steals your card or money.
• If your card is retained (swallowed) by the ATM, it is advisable to phone your bank’s toll-free stop card line immediately and stop your card.
• Never allow a bystander to call the toll-free stop card line on your behalf - they could be tricking you into thinking your card has been stopped.
• Guards are placed at ATMs to discourage criminal activities and therefore cannot help you with transactions.
• If you need help, ask a bank official.
• It is advisable to set a daily ATM withdrawal limit at your branch.

Hairstylist Phindile Ledwaba believes that there are hair and fashion styles for every season of the year. She advises women to choose clothes and hairstyles that suit the time of the year and the weather.Ledwaba works at Beauty Fantasy Salon situated in Chris Hani Mall in Vosloorus. She said the summer season is hot and people should select short hairstyles and hairpieces to avoid sweating. “The best hair styles for now are x-curl, dry curl, and short hair or cut, bob cut, bump, straight back and free hand. Women with long hair should avoid applying oil sheen because it causes dandruff. They should use hair food and moisturisers to keep their hair strong and soft,” said Ledwaba. She said they should also wear sunglasses to avoid eye problems and apply suncream to their bodies and faces to avoid heat rash when working outside. “In terms of dress code, I prefer people to check their body structures first and wear something that suits them. Those with slender bodies should wear short dresses and skirts, vests, short pants and leggings (avoid those that are transparent). Big-boned women should wear three-quarter pants, long dresses, short-sleeved blouses and skirts. They must not be too tight, but loose, so as not to constrict their bodies,”
she said. Ledwaba said that shoes are suitable for hot weather are sandals, slip-ons, pumps and high heels. She said women should avoid wearing boots and takkies in summer, as these are hot. Her advice to women in terms of fashion is: “As a person you have to preserve your dignity and your dress code represents your personality. Women should love themselves, be respected and wear dignified clothes that won’t sell them cheaply to men,” said Ledwaba.
SEASONAL STYLES: Phindile Ledwaba encourages women to choose clothes and hairstyles that suit the weather.
Fashion comes and goes in most people’s lives, but for Richard Mashiyane, his Golf 4 GTI car is everything to him. It is about loyalty, self-gratification and comfort which has stood the test of almost a decade. Speaking to tame TIMES, Mashiyane said his car is like his child who often demands attention, love and respect.How long have you owned this car?I have had this car since 2006. What model is your car?It is a Golf 4 GTI 2006 model.What are the longest trips you have done in this car so far?I have travelled to Durban and Rustenburg without experiencing any challenges.
What advice would you give to fellow car owners as we approach the festive season?They should refrain from drinking and driving. Motorists should adhere to the rules of the road and stick to the correct speed limit, because speed kills. They should always buckle up when they get inside a car, install new tyres, fix the brakes and lights, and service the engine. What features does your car have?It has heated black leather seats, a black interior and a sunroof. It also has excellent sound and original white mag-rims.How much petrol you put in your car weekly?The fuel consumption of my car is great. I spend about a minimum of R 400 on petrol per week driving from home in Vosloorus to Joburg.
Loyal to his Golf 4 GTI
TRUE LOVE: Richard Mashiyane is loyal to his Golf GTI.

What happened to the practice of the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child?” With society and times evolving, we have seen a huge disintegration of our moral compass as a nation. Gone are the days when we lived with humanity (umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu), embracing unity and seeing a healthier family structure due to a collective input. We grew up in a time when a child did not belong to the biological parents alone, but also to the community. The child was disciplined by anybody within the community when found doing wrong. In the old days substance abuse was in existence, but not perpetuated as it is nowadays. Culture also plays a crucial role in assisting people, especially youth, in becoming better people. We are faced with a huge identity crisis and until our children know who they are, we will always be challenged as a nation. Let us build and bring back the essence of our morals. If proper guidance is given to our children and our communities, we will safe and secure. Happy Heritage Month.

New beginnings
DIRECTOR: Moses Gama
Travelling from West Africa to the southern tip of the continent has inspired the Nigerian born rising Afro Pop star, Justice “Jazzkid” Orgazie to realise his music dreams in Jozi. Orgazie (24) has had a bumpy musical journey, which started back home in Nigeria in the village of Umuaka. “We started a musical group called the Plantation Boyz together with my school friends. We use to perform at various community events, but the music group split in 2010 and we went our separate ways. Two years later, I left Nigeria for South Africa and joined the Kani Williams 4 Tumi Beats Studio in Johannesburg,” explained Orgazie. Since his relocation in Mzansi, he has written and recorded seven single-hit tracks which are getting adequate airplay in most of Mzansi’s community radio stations and YFM. Hit tracks that featured prominently in most radio stations are: 1. Cry No more, 2.Dance For Me, 3.The Way You Are, 4. You Give Me Joy, 5. Erimma, 6. All Over The World and the popular hit track 7, Skelewa (Mixed dance). Keni Williams is the producer of all of Orgazie’s songs. “The Skelewa hit track is making waves in most local radio stations. People could download Skelewa track online or on social networks. Linked Stars Entertainment is in charge for my public relations, bookings and managing my musical career. I define my music as Afro Pop which is a mixture of both English and Igbo language. I will be releasing the new album towards the end of this year,” added Orgazie.The highlight of his musical career was when he performed at Jozi City Night Club at the Youth Day Invasion Event. He also shared the stage with the talented Winnie Khumalo during her recent CD launch held in Joburg. People who want to download Jazzkid music can logon to: Skelewa http:\t.co\Pypd8zst5i.

Kasi FM celebrated its seventh year anniversary yesterday at Mlando Restaurant in Katlehong.The event coincided with Heritage Day, with a line-up that featured reputable local artists including Thebe, Dj Clock, DJ Mshega, Bucie and Soul Phenduka. Residents Dj Pakiso and Mgabe showcased their music skills behind the turntables and entry at the gate was R30. Speaking to tame TIMES, the station’s longest serving disc jockey Jabulani “DJ X” Xhasa said the radio station was conceptualised and registered in 1997. “We first went on air on 16 June 1998; from then on we only broadcasted exclusively for special events for nine years. In 2007 ICASA finally gave us a permanent licence to broadcast on a fulltime basis. During our existence as a community radio station, we managed to produce household names within broadcasting, including Aldri Sam Pear, Karabo Maila and Mpho Phuthini,” explained DJ X.Pear is now a news reader at Power FM and Maila has relocated to Limpopo, where she is working for Capricorn FM as a radio presenter. Phuthini hosts the afternoon drive show at Jozi FM, and also features in advertisements and presents a television show.DJ X told tame TIMES that Kasi FM will remain committed to d e v e l o p i n g the Ekurhuleni community and that listeners should continue to use their f a v o u r i t e radio station productively.

Gone are the days when driving a car was judged by the sound of its engine - today’s car owners think much more about affordability, style and good fuel consumption. It is because of the above-mentioned facts that William Nonkevu fell in love with his Polo vehicle. Speaking to tame TIMES, Nonkevo boasted that he never has a king-size headache when filling up with diesel at the filling station. What car are you driving?I am driving a Polo 2004 model. Is this your first VW car?It is my first VW car and I am addicted to it.
How much diesel do you use every week?I pour about R150 diesel per week. I use my car to travel to work and back home in the township. Have you travelled outside the province in this car?I have travelled to Cape Town, and poured about R1 600 of diesel. I also travelled in this car to Rustenburg and poured about R300 diesel, and travelled to Polokwane and poured R600 diesel. What advice do you give to fellow motorists?They should always be patient on the road and respect other people on the road. Motorists should take their cars regularly for wheel balancing, service their engines and inspect their car tyres.
Consumption matters
TRUE LOVE: William Nonkevo is proud of his car’s diesel consumption.
Zirnobia Silver is very concerned about how peer pressure affects the lives of youth at tertiary level. She said it is a big challenge, in that some are imitating lifestyles that can endanger them.“In high school it was better, because there were stringent rules compared to tertiary level. Smoking at high school was prohibited, while in tertiary it’s a fashion and no one can stop anyone,” said Silver. She said peer pressure is a challenge in that it can lead to the youth finding negative ways of sourcing money such as prostitution, sugar daddies and crime. S ilver says that young people do these things in order to have money to buy the latest fashion trends, drive nice cars and cellphones and to be someone else. She added that these behaviours can also lead to their dropping out from school and committing suicide when the pressure becomes too much to handle.Her advice to youth who are affected by peer pressure is: “Be yourself - find yourself before imitating someone else. It is not always where you come from that counts, but what you make up your mind you want to be. Work hard - you will excel and you will be able to be what you want be,” explained Silver.Silver said heritage means going back to our roots and knowing where we come from.
She is studying electrical engineering NCV level 2 at Ekurhuleni West College Kathorus campus. Her hobbies are dancing and reading.

The Skippa Soccer Academy will be hosting football trials for male and female soccer players in the under-7 to under-15 age categories at Eden Park Stadium for seven days, starting from 1 October . According to the founder of Tshwane Highlanders Football Academy, Alpheus Tshantsa, both current and former footballers will attend the event. Speaking to tame TIMES, the event organiser Mzwandile “Zane” Hlako said their objective is to expose youngsters to soccer in a bid to channel their energies in the right direction. “Successful footballers at the trials will have the opportunity of being placed with soccer academies and professional soccer teams. Soccer academies will also pay for a successful player’s accommodation and education fees,” said Hlako.
Some of the soccer stars previously placed in professional soccer teams by the Skippa Soccer Academy include Malizole Kalipha, who is now playing for Wits Junior, Jacob Monokwane, who is playing for Kwazi FC campaigning in the Vodacom league and Bheka Dlamini, who played for the Super sports United under-19s last season. “We have invited soccer scouts from various academies to attend the event. It will run from 7am until late in the afternoon. Players are urged to bring along soccer boots, training outfits and lunch boxes. The registration fee is R350 per head,” concluded Hlako.
For more information contact Zane Hlako on 061 323 8890 or email zane132008@gmail.

The Kathorus Roller-skating Club’s debut appearance at the South African Championship Artistic Show held recently at the Port Elizabeth Municipality Hall in Motherwell remains the most memorable experience in the team’s calendar so far. The event gave roller skaters a seven-day platform to showcase their dancing and storytelling skills while wearing roller-skates. Speaking to tame TIMES, Kathorus Roller-skating Club Team Manager Itumeleng Pitso said their team had eight representatives who competed in the H Group Opening. “We were impressed by the level of commitment shown during the competition. Our team members surpassed even their own expectations in their debut appearance when they were officially elected to position three. We were competing against eight experienced teams countrywide and got bronze for our efforts,” explained Pitso.He said they would use the wealth of experience gained in their debut season productively going forward. Pitso promised that they would prepare well and work hard for the same competition next year; although, according to the Kathorus team leader, the date and venue of next year’s skating competition has not yet been confirmed.
