Satanism hits local schoolA group of learners at a certain school based in Katlehong that cannot be named at this stage are allegedly possessed with evil demonic spirits that have caused them to conspire to kill their school-mates and themselves.Captain Mega Ndobe, Communications Officer of Katlehong Police Station, told tame TIMES that he was informed by the principal about the incident. He said that, on his arrival at the school, he found the brother of a girl who is a learner at the school and an alleged member of the group of conspirators. “The brother was in possession of the younger sister’s cellphone. He showed us the Whatsapp conversation of his sister and the group members who are alleged to be practising Satanism, saying that they wanted to kill the other members. They said they wanted to kill her because ‘she messed up, her mother saw the cuts that we did when we drank her blood.’ They also stated that they wanted to kill another girl and later

kill themselves, but the reason was not mentioned,” said Ndobe.He said the owner of the cellphone was also at the school and was meant to meet the other members of the group - who did not attend school that day - at the Chris Hani Mall to finish their mission. Ndobe said they took the learner and her brother to the mall and kept her under police surveillance so that her friends could be captured. The three learners arrived as planned and were all taken to the police st ation. “The parents and pastors were called to the police station. There were six learners and all confirmed that there were demons at work in them and they needed help. They said the pastors had been praying for them, but it was not helping. No case was opened, and the learners were handed over to their parents on the understanding that the pastor would visit them,” said Ndobe. Phumla Sekhonyane, Gauteng Department of Education’s spokesperson said, “The Department is extremely disturbed by the allegations of harmful practices at the school. We are also disturbed by the reports that four

learners are allegedly pursuing other learners to join their cult. Faith Based Organisations working with the Department have visited the affected learners, to give counselling and spiritual care. The parents of the leaners have also been visited on several occasions for support. After their acts were reported to the police, the parents of the four learners entered into

a plea bargain (which was signed by both the parents and the learners at the police station), agreeing that the learners should not be arrested but rather be removed from the school. Their last day at the school was 5 September. Spiritual leaders continue to visit the school to give counselling to both learners and educators. The Department is monitoring developments at the school.”

IN NEED OF HELP: These learners are alleged to be practising Satanism.

In a mission to empower and equip local cooperatives with business and production skills, Letsatsi Human Resources Solutions is hosting a 20-day training programme for cooperatives involved in crop cultivation, vegetable growing and sewing projects.Training for 30 crop and vegetable cooperatives is being conducted at Chivirikani Primary School and 20 sewing cooperatives are being trained at Siluma in Katlehong. The cooperatives are taught how to run profitable businesses and then graduate to become secondary cooperatives.Glorious Oliphant, cooperative mentor from Letsatsi Human Resources Solutions said, “We are changing the mindset

of cooperatives - they should start seeing themselves as business-people and sell their produce in order to make profits. We encourage them to form secondary cooperatives, to become commercial farmers and to find markets for their products. It will reduce the issue of lack of equipment as they

will be operating in partnership with other cooperatives and sharing equipment.” She added that the organization also provides training for crop production cooperatives on the subjects of soil texture, soil erosion and fertiliser. Oliphant said the sewing cooperatives have 38 sewing machines and are taught how to sew and become secondary cooperatives.Zanele Valashiya, secretary of Umyezo Cooperative based in Greenfields, said, “They have taught us how to examine the soil for nutrients and the appropriate crops for different soil types. We have knowledge on how to market our produce and after the training we will be able to operate a profitable cooperative business.”

Shirley Thebe, programme manager for Letsatsi Human Resource Solutions, says they are running a three-year programme which was started in 2012 and funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training, targeting entrepeneurs with small and medium-sized businesses. It entails business training, technical training, financial and recording skills. “We will also assist the cooperatives in applying for funding from the Department of Trade and Industry and procurement for business. We want to change the face of the cooperatives, not to be seen just as self-sustainable businesses but also to start contributing to the micro-economy and generating employment.”

Ukhanyiso Primary School women staff members gathered in the school staffroom to share their individual experiences of womanhood and to encourage each other not to give up during their Women’s Month celebration event. The theme of the day was “women are capable of doing anything, anywhere, anyhow and anytime”. The ladies shared personal stories and gave each other advice on single parenthood, marriage and widowhood, including useful information for the newly wedded woman. Noluthando Mqhayi, one of the educators at the school, said, “As a single parent, I was educating other women that being a single parent does not mean that they have failed somewhere, and that marriage is a blessing from God. We also educated women not to be selfish and to avoid dragging each other down and hence preventing each other from reaching promotional posts at work. We are instilling a culture, as well, that women are parents to other children apart from their own.”She said widows shared their experiences of taking care of their own children without their husbands’ support, saying that women are strong, and capable of heading families when their husbands pass away. Mqhayi said the newly wedded ladies also shared their challenges of a lack of patience and wanting to divorce early in their marriages. “Men are like children,” she said, “they need patience and guidance from us. Women who are working while their husbands are left behind at home were urged to treat them with respect and love and to preach positive ideas to them.”

Women sharing life experiences

The event was organised by the Department of Social Development in partnership with the Katlehong Cluster Police Stations.

Ekurhuleni will now represent the Gauteng province at the Greenest Municipality competition which is run by the National Department of Environmental Affairs, and is an award which the City won last year.

Lebogang Maile, Gauteng MEC of Agriculture and Rural Development, also awarded the City of Ekurhuleni a Certificate of Recognition for being the first Gauteng municipality to win the national Greenest Municipality Competition last year. “This campaign continues to facilitate community development and empowerment. On both formal and informal education fronts, learners in schools and community members participating in the project gained the necessary environmental skills, knowledge,

attitude and values required to ensure that they participate meaningfully in addressing environmental issues that affect them now and in the future,” said Maile.Councillor Vuyelwa Mabena, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Environmental Management in Ekurhuleni said, “This project has had a positive impact in many of our communities and schools. It is important that we come up with innovations that will ensure that it is sustained for the next 20 years.”

The City of Johannesburg came second in the competition. The winners of the 2014 Bontle ke Botho awards in the City of Ekurhuleni are as follows: for wards in new projects, ward 95 in Vosloorus took the second position and won R45 000; in the sustainable wards projects, ward 49 in Katlehong took the fourth position and won R15 000; for schools, Kathorus scooped all the awards for the new projects. Abinala Primary School in Vosloorus won the first prize and was awarded R35 000. The second prize was won by Leratadima Primary School in Thokoza, which scooped R30 000. The third prize went to Tshabalala Primary School in Katlehong, which won R25 000. The fourth prize was won by Umkhathizwe Primary School in Thokoza, which was awarded R20 000. The fifty award went to Thulisa Primary School in Katlehong which won R15 000. Bontle Ke Botho is an initiative established by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2002.

Another objective of the programme is to promote environmental actions that take into consideration poverty alleviation and sustainable living practices. Projects are required to address one or more of the five themes which are: water conservation, energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable agriculture and greening.

In an effort to install a culture of volunteerism among the youth, two top five contestants in the One Day Leader television programme aired on SABC 1 have mobilised township youth to begin practising the art of volunteering.Contestants Sam Beynon and Tshwanelo Fokazi were tasked with encouraging young people to volunteer for the communities and charities of their choice. They were joined by the youth from the community, as well as students from the University of Johannesburg and Boston College to volunteer time assisting the Zishap Centre for disabled people in Katlehong. They helped with cooking the meals in the kitchen, painted the reception of the Centre, created a website for them, interacted with the beneficiaries and engaged with them in their projects, such as woodwork.

Tshwanelo Fokazi said, “We created the website for the Centre for it to get public exposure. The website could be used for marketing purposes and to seek sponsorship. We were also educating the young people to volunteer their services to the community that brought them up.”Sam Beynon, the other contestant, said, “We are changing the mindset of the youth to realise that not everything is about money. They should learn to volunteer their services free of charge from a young age. People with disabilities are economically marginalised and there is a need for them to be equipped with skills for employment opportunities.”Administrator of the Centre Phumuzile Mngomezulu said it had been long time since they had people coming to assist them and they really appreciated the helping hand they received from the two contestants. She said the reception walls are now clean, bright and

appealing.The two top five contestants are in a battle for the R300 000 prize-money, of which R150 000 will be given to a charity organisation.

Fumana Comprehensive School under-17 girls volleyball team was recently crowned Gauteng volleyball champions at the tournament held in the City of Tshwane at the University of Pretoria. The Katlehong based school team faced tough opposition from the other teams on their journey to victory. Fumana represented Ekurhuleni in the tournament, while Crescent High School represented the Vaal Region, Poelaono Secondary School represented the City of Tshwane and Midrand High School represented the City of Johannesburg. “We played according to a round robin system and managed to beat all three of our opponents in their respective matches. We won against the Vaal regional champions 2-0 and walloped City of Tshwane 2-0. Our toughest match was against the City of Johannesburg champions, but we finally won 2-1,” explained Fumana volleyball coach Mochichila Disego. Fumana was eventually crowned the provincial champions and will represent

Fumana qualifies for national finals

New sponsorship for Young Stars FC outfits

Katlehong based businessman Ephraim Mdaka has sponsored the Young Stars Football Club under-17 team with a new blue and white soccer kit.Mdaka believes that the initiative is part of ploughing back into the local community after they have supported his shops over the years. “This is the beginning of a good working relationship that we have started with the club. I would like to salute the team’s founders and management for helping to keep our local children away from drugs by motivating them to take part in sport. If it were not for soccer, they might be indulging in drugs or criminal activities. This sponsorship is one way of ploughing back into the community,” explained Mdaka.The team’s coach Wonder-boy Mtshali was excited about the sponsorship. “The sponsorship will really motivate my team because we had only two soccer outfits for three divisions namely, under-13, under-15 and under-17. That means two divisions had to hand over their outfits to the divisions without kits after completing their soccer matches. It is a relief that we have a new soccer kit and now all our divisions have their own soccer outfits. We are also grateful that Mdaka donated food for the team when playing away games. We urge other local business-people to learn from this initiative,” concluded Mtshali.
