tam TIMES

In pursuance of the Digital City imperative, the City of Ekurhuleni demonstrated the quick and easy way to pay your municipal account using a reliable platform known as e-Siyakhokha (Siyakhokha means “we pay”) on Thursday, 9 October in Alberton.Member of the Mayoral Committee for Finance Clr Moses Makwakwa discussed the purpose of the Siyakhokha Programme and Ekurhuleni CFO Ramasele Ganda emphasized the importance of paying for services rendered and explained the services of the Finance Department. “It is an increasing concern that we find more people still complaining about not receiving statements. The e-Siyakhokha Services website is accessible 24 hours a day,

throughout the year. When a user accesses the e-Siyakhokha Service website, an encrypted and completely secure connection is made between their browser and the e-Siyakhokha Service servers, ensuring that the e-Siyakhokha Services experience is safe and secure,” Ekurhuleni Spokesperson Themba Gadebe said. This service allows you to pay for services in the comfort of your own home. The service is available 24 hours a day, all year round. This service will also allow users to receive their municipal accounts two weeks earlier than by postal delivery, and users will also have access to a full history of their account, including bills, payments and electronic correspondence. The e-Siyakhokha service

also offers the capability to lodge a query or complaint that will be sent to the relevant department within the EMM. For residents who do not have internet access at home or on their phones, they will also be implementing kiosks in all major malls around Ekurhuleni, the first one being in Lake View. According to the EMM, more than 200 residents are already registered with e-Siyakhokha.Clr Makwakwa commented by saying that revenue is important for basic services and made a call to all residents capable of paying to do so.To register, visit www.e-siyakhokha.co.za. You will need your municipal services account number, your ID number or

company registration number and your personal details. Payments can be made from a banking account of your choice. It is important to know that the transaction does not create a monthly debit order and that you need to complete the payment for each invoice. “It is time the Ekurhuleni, being the biggest Metro, gets modernized,” CFO Ramasele Ganda said. “As we pay our bills, we progress the Metro forward,” she concluded.

Poppies met Pleisters is an initiative that provides support and raises awareness for people with breast cancer and Alzheimer’s, and abused women and children. They have a House of Caring and Support at 169 Fourth Avenue in Edenvale, which is fully stocked to provide for people in need when they need a safe place to stay the night.Poppies met Pleisters is organizing a series of flash mobs in an effort to raise awareness for Breast Cancer during October. The flash mobs will be seen in malls and shopping districts all over Gauteng, with the culmination at the ninth annual iThemba Walkathon breast cancer awareness event at Marks Park in Johannesburg.“Awareness of breast cancer is still low,” said Hannelie Snyman, one of the driving forces behind Poppies met Pleisters. Having

survived cancer twice, she has intimate knowledge of the issues surrounding the disease. “People only realize the severity of the issue when it has already struck someone close to them, or themselves. We must create awareness because early detection saves lives.”Through the flash mobs they hope to reach people who cannot get to, or do not know about, such events such as the Walkathon. The flash mobs are organized purely by volunteers, who do all the choreography and co-ordination of the dancers.Poppies met Pleisters also use various other methods to increase cancer awareness, from shaped candles to a project that makes beautiful bags to cover the unsightly tubes that cancer patients often have to carry around, to covering their houses in pink cloth to help raise awareness.

Ekurhuleni City Manager Khaya Ngema.

Developmental Agenda for Ekurhuleni unpackedAmy-Mae [email protected]

On Friday 10 October, Ekurhuleni City Manager Khaya Ngema met with businesses and investors at the Germiston City Hall to discuss Ekurhuleni’s developmental agenda. The aim of this discussion was to engage business stakeholders on key issues that influence investment in the city and private sector involvement. These issues include: provision of water and electricity supply, land use, billing, economic development and infrastructure.Water supply has been a prolonged frustration this past month for residents and especially businesses in Ekurhuleni. At the discussion, Francis Bacon, Chief Engineer at Revenue Water, which supplies Ekurhuleni’s water, explained that they can only supply water when they receive it from Rand Water, which has attributed the water outages to infrastructure maintenance, cable theft and inadequate back-up plans. Bacon said that the municipality will focus on developing an efficient communication system whereby they can alert residents when water levels in the reservoirs are low. City Manager Ngema added that water reliability depends on the shape of the city as well: “The infrastructure of the towns [in Ekurhuleni] was not designed to backup and supply each other,” Ngema said. The Municipality will look at developing a more integrated water and electricity supply infrastructure.

Detecting water leaksAnother issue raised with the Water Department was that of incorrect bills, due to faulty meters. Bacon explained that sometimes there is a leak, which can be misinterpreted as a faulty meter or incorrect bill. He advised residents to read their water

meters late at night, and again early in the morning - the difference will show if there is a leak. The municipality has billed up to R30 000 on a single leak.

Township economiesThe panel also discussed township economies: residents at the session complained that locals often go to towns for services or products, instead of supporting township businesses. Ngema suggested that the panel look at the needs in each community and assess business proposals accordingly; this includes comparing the price difference in townships versus towns. Ngema added that the infrastructure of township businesses needs to be decent, so that they can attract potential investors. This impacts ownership townships, as many property leases were given years ago, but the current generation may not be using their properties for the original purposes intended for them. “We want to give properties to people who operate the land as far as possible,” Ngema said. The panel will have a dedicated session to discuss this matter.

Increasing investmentPanel member, Mr Motubatse, HOD: City Planning, emphasised that the Municipality wants to increase the number of industrial and commercial business initiatives in Ekurhuleni that grow the investment potential of the city. The first step towards this goal is the Strategic Land Development Plan, of which examples are: the Glen Gory

development in Benoni (consisting of residential units, a private hospital, a

regional mall, motors, retail and a value centre), and the Leeuwpoort Housing Development in Boksburg (which will include residential, warehousing and distribution and offices and retail).

General News tame TIMES 14 October 2014

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) has been recognized by an international organization Top Employers Institute, which has its head office in the Netherlands, as a top employer. The institute recognizes leading employers around the world, with the focus on those which provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organization and strive continuously to optimize employment practices.“SANRAL is particularly pleased with this achievement. The agency builds, maintains and manages some of the best roads worldwide - something which can only be done when an organization has dedicated, trained staff. This has now been recognized. An outstanding aspect of SANRAL is its ability to attract and keep top staff as well as the fact that its personnel costs remain remarkably low - less than 1,3% of total expenditure,” said Heidi Harper, Corporate Services Executive of the roads agency.

Speaking at the award ceremony in Midrand, SANRAL’s CEO Nazir Alli said, “We have put in a lot of effort in the past 16 years of our existence to make SANRAL an employer of choice.This includes providing our staff with security and stability, competitive salaries and benefits packages, encouraging a work-life balance and providing opportunity for career progression. These are all factors that matter to our colleagues.”Alli emphasized that what ultimately matters in being a good employer is having colleagues who are engaged with their roles and their organization.“There are huge benefits for an organization in terms of staff engagement. Colleagues who are highly engaged produce results and this has shown in the quality of roads the agency delivers and the successive unqualified audit reports we have had,” said Alli who dedicated the award to all SANRAL colleagues.

SANRAL is top employerWhile on a strategic patrol on Saturday 4 October, the EMPD Freeway patrol unit stopped a truck towing a trailer at about 11:00 on the N12 westbound, just before the Gillooly’s Interchange. After examining the two vehicles, officers discovered that the trailer had a Germiston case-number attached to it – it had been stolen in 2013.The Zimbabwean driver failed to provide police with a satisfactory answer as to why he was in a possession of a stolen trailer and was immediately booked in at Bedfordview Police Station. Subsequent to the driver’s arrest, the owner of the truck showed up at the police station and was also arrested.The 28-year-old driver and his employer from Alberton, who is in his forties, were both charged with being in possession of a stolen vehicle at Bedfordview Police Station. They appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court on 6 October.

The deaf community is one of the most marginalized groups in South Africa, because they cannot communicate freely with the hearing world, which means they are often mistakenly regarded as unemployable.Several companies, however, such as EMPD and Altech Radio Holdings, working hand in hand with eDeaf, have taken the brave step of employing deaf people with great success - proving that in some career fields the deaf can be just as good as, or even better than, hearing employees. It is a documented fact that deaf employees are more effective in certain disciplines due to the fact that they are not easily distracted.EMPD, Altech Radio Holdings and eDeaf celebrated the International Week of the Deaf (22-28 Sep). The

week is about increasing solidarity among deaf people and their allies and is used

to stimulate greater efforts to promote the rights of deaf people. The deaf employees

related their experiences in their respective work environments by way of presentations, which

are vital in enhancing communication and providing understanding between them and the hearing staff members.Altech Radio Holdings, who are contracted to EMPD in the administration of prosecution processes, currently

have, jointly with EMPD, fourteen deaf people in their employ. The goal is

to empower more deaf people to occupy suitable positions in both organizations.

On 23 February 2014, a programme about Neil Diamond and his wife Justine was broadcast by Carte Blanche. The programme was about the sale of the wedding venue known as La Montanara to Casino Retail, and Diamond's role as executor of a deceased friend’s estate. It did not, however, relate to Diamond with respect to the execution of his official duties as a public representative of the ANC.According to a statement released by Andrew Boerner of Jurgens Bekker Attorneys on behalf of the Diamond s, Diamond instructed him to lodge 30 individual complaints and a collective complaint regarding the broadcast as a whole at the BCCSA. The Diamonds essentially claimed that Carte Blanche failed to provide the complainants, and Mr Diamond in particular, with the right of reply on some of the crucial matters, thereby allowing the formation of opinion based on incorrect facts. The Diamonds also complained that Carte Blanche infringed on their dignity and right to privacy.The Tribunal held unanimously that, judged as a whole, the broadcast succeeded in unjustifiably portraying Mr Diamond as a person whose integrity is questionable. This result was in the main achieved by omitting to broadcast material made available to it that was likely to cast a different perspective on the entire matter. The BCCSA found that Carte Blanche should have included more of Mr Diamond’s response to the allegations made by Carte Blanche. The BCCSA also held that it was incorrect to refer to an “eviction order” being served on Mr Diamond, when in fact only an application for eviction had been brought, because this implied that Mr Diamond was in breach of a court order, which was not the case. Carte

Blanche was reprimanded for breaching clauses 28.2, 28.3 and 28.4 of the Code of Conduct. The BCCSA has ordered that Carte Blanche, without comment, and at the start of the first or second programme after the issue of this order, broadcast what was regarded by the Tribunal to be the essence of the finding.The Diamonds remarked that it was a costly and lengthy fight against Carte Blanche to have their dignity and reputation restored. Diamond said, “We are vindicated by the BCCSA but as keen Carte Blanche viewers we will be a lot more apprehensive about the integrity of their stories in future.”Attorney Andrew Boerner stated, “Carte Blanche omitted to broadcast material that was likely to have cast a different perspective on the entire matter and also made conclusions not based on facts. Despite receiving legal advice from the start of its investigations in August 2013, Carte Blanche failed to broadcast a program which was compliant with the code of conduct. It was clear right from the beginning of the investigation that Carte Blanche sought to portray Mr Diamond as a person whose integrity was questionable, even if it meant breaching the BCCSA Code of Conduct on several occasions. It was most disappointing that an award-winning investigative program such as Carte Blanche would produce a program which was in violation of the most fundamental aspects of the BCCSA Code of Conduct. Given Carte Blanche’s reputation, it was important for our client to pursue his complaint and successfully so. We trust that they will exercise caution when reporting on public figures in future and that the public will take into consideration that even Carte Blanche gets it wrong….”

Last Friday Miss Earth SA 2014 and her elements, Miss Air, Fire and Water received a sodastream machine. Miss Earth South Africa’s commitment to sustainability and water stewardship and the dedicated programme to increase awareness among all South Africans of the need to conserve and treasure our natural resources is in perfect sync with Sodastream’s vision of a sustainable world where water is treasured and conscious consumerism is practised. “It’s Sodastream’s vision is to create a world free from single-use bottles,” said Sodastream’s commercial director, Hugh Wilson. “To that end we are committed to continuously improving as an earth-friendly brand and having a positive impact on our environment. That is also why we are delighted to support the Miss Earth South Africa leadership development programme; we feel that supporting this initiative will help raise the profile of environmental awareness and advocacy in a cause that affects us all.” Sodastream’s products are environmentally friendly, recyclable and reusable, do not require the use of batteries or electricity to operate and are cost-effective. It’s an active green product that reduces your carbon footprint every time you choose to make a fizzy drink at home. Using the Sodastream system results in less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste generated and fewer bottled beverages transported around the world and in that way drastically reducing carbon transmissions.Wilson added, “Our partnership is part of our commitment to develop and educate on plastic waste, specifically single-use bottles and the Miss Earth South Africa programme offers a powerful channel to reach and educate the youth in particular, about reducing their impact on the environment.”

Earlier this year Bedford Centre launched its #BedfordProjectStyle initiative, with local shoppers entering various competitions with shops in the mall for make-overs and shopping vouchers. On Saturday 4 October, Zelia Soares was the lucky overall winner of a R50 000 shopping voucher at the mall. To top it all, Zelia had a glamorous make-over from international freelance fashion stylist, Sophia Branch. “I shop at Bedford Centre all the time. I live here so I automatically popped into the shops and entered all the competitions. It was very special and a bit like a dream, because I have never won anything. I had a wonderful make-over and a beautiful

spray-tan. I did things that I would never naturally do,” an ecstatic Soares told tame TIMES after the event. Soares intends to spend her prize money on kitchen appliances; thereafter she will divide it between her son, daughter and husband. According to Nikki Savides, Marketing Manager at Bedford Centre, this was one of the biggest pop-up, shopper interaction events that the centre has had. “We want to give Bedford shoppers a taste of what we have to offer, and give them a front row seat. We hope they walk away with the inspiration to refine their own style,” she said.The final event culminated in a dazzling

pop-up fashion extravaganza in the heart of the centre, where curious bystanders could view the latest trends Bedford Centre has to offer. The gorgeous Jeannie D presented the show and dished out many more prizes. Celebrities, such as Mr SA finalist Clive Maistry, attended the event as well and snapped selfies with fans.

Safair launched its new FlySafair domestic air service on Wednesday 8 October. This innovative new approach to low-cost flying debuts just in time for the local holiday season, opening up a surprisingly inexpensive alternative to the popular tourist destinations of Cape Town, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and George.FlySafair CEO Dave Andrew describes the airline as a true low-cost carrier that offers the travelling public an alternative that offers low fares on a permanent basis. FlySafair will allow its passengers to customise their own flying experience to suit their needs.“In line with international best practice, a true low-cost airline charges passengers a base rate fare to secure their seats on a flight, and allows for two pieces of free carry-on luggage that weigh no more than 7kg in total,” Andrew

explains. “Passengers can also then select additional extras such as pre-booked preferential seat selection, travel insurance, on-board catering, extra-space seats and checked-in luggage, which are charged for separately. When designing our offering, we felt strongly that our passengers should not be charged for services they don’t make use of. For instance, if they are simply flying from Cape Town to Johannesburg for a day business trip, there is no need to incur the cost of luggage.”Allowing passengers to book their flights on a menu-type basis means FlySafair can offer regular fares from as low as R499 between Cape Town and Johannesburg; R399 between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, as well as R399 between Cape Town and George, all including taxes.

Some of Southern Africa’s most celebrated and internationally renowned choirs will come together for the 2014 Melting Pot Ekurhuleni National Choral Music Competition at Carnival City on Saturday 18 October and Sunday 19 October 2014, when they will vie for the biggest choral music title in the country and a grand prize of R500 000. The competition, which pays tribute to the late Oliver Tambo who was a choral music composer of note, is a superlative treat for passionate choral classics lovers, with the cream-of-the crop of choral music and the acclaimed KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra performing. The top ten competing choirs include Bagale Chorus NW, Zwelitsha Adult Choir EC, Heavenly Voices WC, Gauteng Choristers GP, Belcanto Voices FS, SA Singers KZN, Transnet Port Terminals EC, Kopano Chorus GP, African Chorus KZN and Thabong Serenade FS. They will perform songs that were close to Tambo’s heart, and there will also be some unbelievable musical renditions, vocal and instrumental, by persons with disabilities.Joining these exceptional choirs for the festival are legendary performers Sibongile Khumalo, Mafikizolo, Solly Mahlangu,

the Jeziel Brothers, Afro Tenors, Njabulo Madlala, Igrandi Tenori, the dance floor king Zakes Bantwini, and laugh-till-you-drop queen Celeste Ntuli.“It’s an experience you have to see to fully appreciate,” says Mavuso Msimang, CEO of The Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation, which has endorsed the festival.

tame TIMES

Olympic Gold medallist Sizwe Lawrence Ndlovu will once again take on WonderBoom frontman Cito at this year’s tame TIMES Jozi South Half Marathon on Sunday. Last year Team Seize was victorious in the 10km race, leaving Team Showbiz in the dust. This year, anything could happen.The Jozi South Half Marathon, organized by Brotherhood Athletic Club, Gold Reef City and tame TIMES, is in its third year and is set to be a great success, as it was in the past two years. This year Gold Reef City has chosen Bree Street Primary School to be the beneficiary. R10 from each entry for the 21km and 10km races will benefit the school. There are three different races: 21km, 10km and the 4km fun walk. The fun walk takes place in Gold Reef City Theme Park and is perfect for families and children. All proceeds from the fun walk will be donated to Bree Street Primary. All race entrants will receive free entry into the Theme Park on the day of the race, upon verification of race registration, plus 50% discount on Theme Park entry fees for two family members.

The race starts at the Apartheid Museum parking area at Gold Reef City, winds its way through Soweto, passing Chris Hani-Baragwanath Hospital and South Gate Mall, and ends at the museum. The prize-giving will be held at Theme Park Town Square at 10:30.Last year Lucky Mohale and Rene Kalmer won the 21km race and Derocious Makhobolo and Christine Kalmer were the 10km winners. Weather permitting, fast times are expected, as the course is a flat and easy one. Watch out for the results in next week’s edition.

The challenge is on againLaurelle [email protected]

Reigning South African Stroke Play champion Jason Smith held off a determined challenge from Gauteng’s Matthew Spacey to win the Ekurhuleni Open Stroke Play Championship by one stroke at Germiston Golf Club on Sunday.The 20-year-old Irene golfer, who debuted for South Africa at the World Amateur Team Championships in Japan last month, carded rounds of 68 and 67 to grab a share of the 36-hole lead with Gauteng North SA Inter-Provincial team mate, Hendrikus Stoop. The pair led by four from Andrew van der Knaap, another recent starter for Gauteng North at the SA IPT, sponsored by Tempest, at Westlake.

Smith carded a third round 73 to lead at eight under, but Spacey, who lagged five shots off the pace, fired a 69 to move within a shot of the leader. Smith reeled in two birdies early in the final round, and kept clear of the pack with a string of pars through nine holes before racking in another birdie at the par-five 13.th

Although the TuksSport Golf Academy member stumbled near the end of his round with bogeys at the 15th and 17th, a birdie at the 16th and par at the short 18th helped Smith to a one-shot victory on a 10-under-par 278.Spacey also racked up five birdies, but his bid for victory was derailed with bogeys at the 16th and 18th.Smith closed with a 70 to take second on 279 and finished two strokes clear of Van der Knaap, who returned rounds of 71, 68, 71 and 71. Meanwhile Stoop (69 66 76 71) took fourth on 282 and Southern Cape’s Jade Buitendag (72 69 70 72) interrupted Gauteng North’s stronghold to finish fifth on a six-under-par 282.Kyle McClatchie and NJ Arnoldi were the two best placed Ekurhuleni golfers. The pair tied for seventh with former Sanlam SA Amateur champion, Ryan Dreyer, on a two-under 286.

Smith was absolutely delighted with the result. “What a result for TuksSport Golf Academy to get first, second, third and fourth,” the country’s number four ranked amateur said. “I’m sure our coaches will want to celebrate this remarkable achievement! And a great show for Gauteng North, as well. The last month has been full of disappointments, so this was a great turnaround for me. It was especially great having my dad watch me win, since he missed the SA Stroke Play.”“When I got back, we discovered that the lofts on all my clubs were out.” Smith said. “We think it happened during the trip to Japan, but the guys from Srixon were fantastic and they sorted it all out for me. I played a lot better at the SA IPT in Cape Town, but losing our title defence and getting demoted was a bitter pill to swallow. So it really feels great to come through another tough tournament and walk away with the trophy. The challenge out there was fantastic. The course was tough but in great shape and the guys really edged each other on. They kept up the pressure and I’m really proud of the way I protected my lead to win.”

Polo International Horse TrialsTaking place from 3-5 October, the Polo International Horse Trials was without a doubt a highlight of the equestrian sporting calendar. Kyalami was transformed in order to host a three-day triathlon event in which horsemanship was pitted against endurance, strength, speed and discipline. Previous SA event champion Martyn Swanepoel, on his horse Voigtskirch Kardinal, claimed first place as the Polo International Horse Trials 2014 FEI2 class winner. Martyn was also fortunate enough to compete in the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky USA, and with this recent International Horse Trials victory, he is definitely one to watch.
