IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME

is allocated a class and all the previous learners to ad-here to the existing rules and regulations of the school” Mr. Driver expressed.He also went further to share sentiments expressed by the MEC of education that ev-ery school had received suf-ficient time for admission and enrolment to ensure that no hassles take place on the first day of school.Pioneer North also visited Buc-cleuch Primary school and the principal of the school was delighted and explained that they encountered little challenges but in general ev-erything was going well.

The Gauteng Department of Education said in a statement that they have received 131 000 applications for grade 1 and 114 546 applications for grade 8. In 2013 the registration for the 2014 academic year ran from April to September which was much sooner than anticipated. This, according to the de-partment, was designed to ensure that at least every learner secure a place at the school of their choice, and further more, this would make sure that no last min-ute rush for registration takes place.

Among the schools we vis-ited, the newspaper took a tour of the Wendywood primary school along with the excited grade 1 learners who were thrilled to see the resources and activities the school had to offer. The principal of the school Keith Driver took time from his busy schedule to dis-cuss the vital measures that had been implemented by him and his staff, the SGB (School Governing Body) and all the other stakehold-ers. “It only took us 10 minutes to get everything in order mak-ing sure every new learner

Towards the end of 2013, Gauteng MEC of Edu-

cation, Mrs Barbara Greecy said in a statement that “Gauteng schools are ready for 2014, with learning and teaching set to a flying start on January 15th”.Indeed on Wednesday 15 January many schools in the province were up and running with learners receiving their lessons and teachers actively carrying on with their duties. Pioneer North newspaper visited several schools along the North West Suburbs of Johannesburg to experience their first day at school.

With only three weeks left ahead of the second phase and final voting registration, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is en-couraging people who are eligible to vote to register at their nearest voting sta-

tions. The final registration will happen on Saturday and Sunday of 8 and 9 February 2014 nationwide. “Don’t miss the final regis-tration weekend! Register at your correct voting station. “You have until 5 PM on the day the President proclaims the election date to register.

Proclamation can happen anytime after 9/02/2014,” the IEC said on their of-ficial website. People who have registered in the past are also encouraged to visit their voting stations to check whether their details still ex-ist in the IEC’s database. Those who have moved from their districts and would like to register to vote in their current area are en-couraged to “apply for reg-istration in their new voting districts at their new voting station during a registration weekend or at their munici-

IEC: 8 & 9 February final voting registration.

Editor’s Note

ON Monday 6 January 2014, it was all jubilation when the matric results were released. The public schools, for the first time since the advent of democracy in 1994, achieved 78.2% pass rate. The IEB results have also recorded an improvement.

Just few weeks back, school children also went back to school and people expressed mixed reactions with regards to the opening of schools. Listening to radio, reading newspapers and also watching television, while other parents were happy that their children are admitted into their schools of choice, some parents, by contrast, were complaining that their learners were rejected and frustration sparked.

For the sake of our children’s future, some parents need to be active in the affairs of their kids, especially when it comes to education. To increase your chances of getting space and to avoid disappointment at a very last moment, please apply in at least three different schools. And most importantly, please do follow up!

On the other hand, South Africa celebrates 20 years of democracy this year. This shows how far we come as a nation. Therefore, do not forget to go register to vote on the weekend of 8 and 9 February.

Africa. It was in 1994 that South Africa was liberated from all white government to democratic and inclusive rul-ing regime that saw Nelson Mandela emerging the first black democratically elected President. Since 1994, South Africa has had 4 democrati-cally elected Presidents, Nel-son Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma, respectively. Under the Mbeki adminis-tration, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka was elected the first female deputy President. Elections coming soonThis year will also see South Africans voting in the coun-try’s 5th democratic elec-tions. Over and above, it will also be for the first time that born-frees take to the polls.

Newly formed political par-ties of the likes of Mam-phela Ramphela’s Agang SA, Julius Malema’s EFF and Kenny Kunene’s Patriotic Alliance will be on the ballot paper for the first time.

learners in all the differ-ent categories. The criteria of these awards varied from aca-demic awards which ac-knowledge the schools top academic achievers, special awards for grades 8 & 9 which recognize perseverance, commit-ment, consideration, awareness, empathy and potential leadership.

One of the s c h o o l ’ s most pres-t i g i o u s awards are referred to as the Ma-jor awards which apply for learn-ers in every grade. They are award-ed at the grade 12 valediction ceremony

and the names of the re-cipients are inscribed on the honors boards within the school premises. Nonobe Matlawa, a ma-tric learner at the school was the recipient of one the major awards (pre-sented by grade 11 grade tutor), the Mayoral award which is also recognized as the premier award. This trophy is awarded to a pupil who has displayed excellence in all aspects of school’s life. The pupil must also have excellent academic re-cord, backed up by top level commitment to sports and cultural activi-ties.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FOR WENDYWOOD HIGH

Wendywood High School is counted among the top performing schools in Gauteng. The school managed to achieve 99% matric pass rate in the 2013 academic year. Speaking to Pioneer North newspaper, the principal of the school Mr S Prince explained that “ini-tially we aimed for a 100% pass rate”. The prin-cipal was in a jo-vial mood over the schoo l ’s outstand-ing per-formance. T h e s c h o o l , located in the Wendywood suburb North West of Johannes-burg held an award giv-ing ceremony on the 20th of January to honour the learners that performed exceptionally well. The top achievers for 2013 were Quaanitah Manique who managed to get six distinctions and one symbol B. She-rielle Le Roux got three distinctions and four B symbols, Sashkia Balla attained three distinctions and four B symbols while Sivhu Mhatu managed to get three distinctions and two symbol B’s.The awards that were handed out during the ceremony recognized

Brilliant Moyo, Fernando Sibiya, Sabelo Mbonjwa and Curtis Phiri are some of the learners that ben-efited immensely from the Saturday classes pro-gramme run by volunteers and mentors like Valerie Hirsch. These learners passed with distinctions and have been accepted to further their studies at some of the prominent universities in the coun-try. Brilliant Moyo, a student from Mitzvha, attained five distinctions with ac-counting being the high-est at 92 per cent. To com-pensate his hard work, Brilliant was awarded a bursary from his school by Zen Property for be-ing the best performing learner at the school. Equally, Sabelo Mbonjwa also performed excep-tionally well and has been accepted at University of Johannesburg. Sabelo

will be studying Bach-elor of Commerce in Ac-counting and has a wish of becoming a chartered accountant one day. Fernando Sibiya who got four distinctions with Maths and Physical Sci-ences the highest at 92 and 90, respectively, he is likely to study computing and mathematics at Wits University. He dreams of studying electrical engi-neering one day. However, not all the learners that attended the Saturday classes at st Mary passed with dis-tinctions but they also produced good results. A learner like Curtis Phiri from Kwabhekilanga got a B average with his Maths close to an A at 79 percent. Curtis Will be studying Information Technology at University of Johannesburg. Valerie Hirsch, one the volunteers at the St. Mary’s high school for girls in Waverly was

overjoyed by the success of the Saturday school project that has been in operation for the past 20 years . She told Pioneer Express that “we often encounter problems with getting enough volunteers

to help us ensure every learner receives sufficient and effective help’’. She added that majority of their volunteers hail from overseas but was also quick to add that the school also has South

MATRIC TIPSBy Celeste Coles – a director of ENSafrica

All persons are entitled to a working environment

that is healthy and safe. In South Africa, occupational health and safety is regulated by statute and common law. South Africa has, like many other countries, legislated extensively on occupational health and safety. Despite the body of legislation, the com-mon law continues to play an important role as far as it concerns contractual, de-lictual and criminal liability. The common law means the law of South Africa that does not originate from legisla-tion. It is the body of law that we inherited from the Neth-erlands and which our courts have developed over time. In terms of the common law, an employer must take rea-sonable care for the safety of employees. That duty in-cludes the provision of safe premises, safe machinery and tools, as well as safe systems of work. This obligation on the part of an employer is, however, not an absolute one but is restricted by the con-cept of reasonableness. There are two major statutes which regulate occupational health and safety in South Africa. The statutes are the Occupational Health and Safety Act, No. 85 of 1993 (“the OHASA”) and the Mine Health and Safety Act, No. 29 of 1996 (“the MHSA”). The MHSA applies to mines and works as defined. The OHASA applies to other in-dustries, but does not apply to employers in workplaces to which the MHSA applies. For the purposes of this arti-cle, we will place an empha-sis on the OHASA. The provisions of the OHA-SA apply to a “workplace”. The aforementioned concept is defined as meaning “…any premises or place where a person performs work in the course of his employ-ment”. Obligations are im-posed on both an employer and an employee. The term “employer” is defined as meaning “…any person who employs or provides work for any person and remuner-ates that person or expressly or tacitly undertakes to re-munerate him, but excludes a labour broker…”. The term “employee” is defined as meaning “…any person who is employed by or who works for an employer and

who receives or is entitled to receive any remuneration or who works under the direc-tion or supervision of an em-ployer or any other person”.Section 8 of the OHASA provides a primary obliga-tion on an employer to en-sure a workplace that is safe and without risk to the health of its employees. Section 8(1) of the OHASA provides as follows:“Every employer shall provide and maintain, as far as is reasonably prac-ticable, a working environ-ment that is safe and with-out risk to the health of its employees”.Section 8(2) of the OHASA refers to a large number of matters which must be attended to by an employer to ensure compli-ance with the above obliga-tion. These matters include, amongst others, the follow-ing:•the provision and mainte-nance of systems of work and plant and machinery that, as far as reasonably practicable, are safe and without risk to health;•the performance of appro-priate risk assessment(s);•the provision of informa-tion, instruction and training to employees; and•the provision of supervi-sion.The obligations of an “em-ployer” are limited by the concept of “reasonably practicable”. The afore-mentioned term is defined as meaning:“Practicable having regard to –(a)the severity and scope of the hazard or risk concerned;(b)the state of knowledge reasonably available con-cerning that hazard or risk and of any means of remov-ing or mitigating that hazard or risk;(c)the availability and suit-ably of means to remove or mitigate that hazard or risk;(d)the costs of removing or mitigating that hazard or risk in relation to the benefits de-riving therefrom”.The OHASA read with the common law allows, and to a great extent compels, the employer to adopt a holistic approach to safety manage-ment. The employer may use a number of measures, form-ing part of a safety manage-ment system, to ensure a rea-sonably safe working place. The employer may rely on, amongst others, the follow-ing:•risk management;

•formal and informal training of employees;•an organisational structure of experience and competent employees;•safe equipment;•safe systems of work;•safety procedures;•supervision;•discipline;•maintenance procedures; and•the fact that the employee also has a duty to take reason-able care for his own health and the safety of others.Employees are also required to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that a workplace is safe. The obligations and duties of employees must be taken into account when con-sidering the question whether the workplace was safe as far as reasonably practicable. An employee must take cog-nisance of his/ her own health and safety and the health and safety of other persons. In this regard, section 14 of the OHASA provides that whilst at work, every employee shall:•take reasonable care for his/her own health and safety and that of other persons who may be affected by his/her acts or omissions;•co-operate with his/her em-ployer or any person to en-sure that a duty/ requirement in terms of the OHASA is performed or complied with;•carry out any lawful order given to him/her, and obey the health and safety rules and procedures laid down by his/her employer or by any-one authorised thereto by his/her employer, in the interests of health and safety;•if any situation which is un-healthy or unsafe comes to his/her attention, report (as soon as practicable) such sit-uation to his/her employer or to the health and safety rep-resentative for his/her work-place;•if he/she is involved in any incident which may affect his/her health or which has caused an injury to himself/herself, report such incident to his/her employer or to any-one authorised thereto by the employer, or to his/her health and safety representative as soon as practicable.Both employers and employ-ees are responsible to main-tain a culture of health and safety, to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of persons at the workplace.

went to the extent of telling him that he can’t act. Ac-cording to reports, singer Brian Themba will resume the role of Ranthumeng. Airing five days is not the only surprise Muvhango has for its fans in 2014. “We have embarked on an effort to change the Mu-vhango look. We will be launching the new look soon and introducing a few new actors in an effort to sush up the look.Recently Muvhango intro-duced many faces whom the majority of them are household names and the singer, Chomee of “jaiva sexy” fame was one of them. Her appearance on the soapie has since caused a stir on social media. In the 17 years of its run-ning, Muvhango has had many exciting storylines that ordinary South Afri-cans in rural areas, town-ships and informal settle-ments can relate to and the show’s heavyweight alerts that “our story department continues to try and break boundaries by bringing you stories that straddle the township/rural divide.”It’s still not known for sure when Muvhango will start playing five days.

MOKGOPO TILO

The SABC 2’s flagship and longest running

soap opera, Muvhango, is due to air five days a week this year. “Muvhango enters its 17th season… and the SABC has decided to broadcast Muvhango from Monday to Friday,” the soapie’s cre-ator and executive producer, Duma Ka Ndlovu said in the statement. Ka Ndlovu noted that as the soapie continues to improve its standard and develop its storylines, the fans and sup-porters should look forward to exciting stories that will keep them at the edge of their seats. “Just to wet your appetite, Ranthumeng comes back to reclaim his wife, Susan takes bold steps to protect the chieftaincy and Vusi grows up and his grandfa-thers want him to go to the mountain,” he said. However, if rumours circu-lating in the media are any-thing to go by, the return of Ranthumeng into the soapie may not be by Themba Nofe-mele who left the soapie last year citing unfair treatment and emotional abuse by co-workers, who, as he alleged,

many mixed emotions be-cause I was excited nervous, happy and scared all at the same time.“Although I am still learning a lot about live broadcasting, I am warm-ing up to the show and its viewers. The time slot was previously anchored by cur-rent affairs legends such as Xolani Gwala and Vuyo Mvoko, so that too naturally gives me the pressure to de-liver quality programming.” Tumelo, like a true focused woman, is very clear about her future plans. She ex-plained that she wants to “continue working hard and

Only at the age of 22, Tu-melo Mothotoane, possi-

bly the youngest news anchor in South Africa, leads the na-tional debates of the hardest hitting issues that the country is faced with. With an im-mense of experience in the broadcasting fraternity from presenting a woman’s empow-erment programme, Sistas on Soweto TV, executive pro-ducer of her own talk show on Trans-Africa radio during her time at the station, presenter on SABC 1’s Sunday Live and news anchor for AM Live on SABC’s 24 hour news channel and all coupled by a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media Stud-ies and Psychology from Wits University, clearly Tumelo is a true epitome of success. During her tenure as the pre-senter of Sistas, Tumelo has empowered many young wom-en. Speaking about her time on Soweto TV, she told Pioneer Express that: “I was 18 years old when I joined SISTAS and the experience was priceless.

Tumelo sometimes stands in for colleagues on the weekend editions of Morning Live programmes and she also has her own show, AM Live on channel 404.Referring to Sun-day Live, she said: “This was my very first live show expe-rience and may I just say it was so tormenting at first with

Chomee, whose real name is Thulisile Madihlaba of “Jaiva Sexy” fame and Muvhango actress, is reportedly involved in a car accident on her way back from work at Muvhango’s studios. The accident happened near the SABC’s headquarters in Auckland Park and she only suffered mild injuries. She was later taken to a Jo’burg hospital for treatment.

GOSSIP INSIDER

Things have gone from bad to worse in the Dlomo

household. Generations’ Sen-zo is totally out of control and it’s starting to irritate the hell out of me. His super childish behaviour will cost him many things, Jason included. Ga o na dankie, boikie, sis! S’busiso is a real player. The man has manipulated Dr Chetty into thinking that she’s the one only to find out that he was using her as a ticket from life of hell in prison. My heart has fallen for Priska’s calmness and I pray that she doesn’t fall for S’busiso’s charm. MJ is far away from being a ‘real’ Dlomo and if he keeps acting jumpy, the cheese boy will end up in prison eating out of a steel plate. Him and S’busiso will make great prison inmates. Rhythm City’s Lucilla is in a fix! The book that I read says what goes up will eventually come down and soon Lucilla and David will reap the benefit of their evil deeds. DH is not willing to back down until he finds the people responsible for Irvin’s death and my ad-vice to Lucilla and David, run and hide and make sure DH does not catch you. My heart becomes sad to see Isidingo’s Lerato going through that pain everyday. I wish there was something that I could but as for Sechaba offering her driv-ing lessons, definitely I can do something about it by dis-couraging Sechaba against the idea. It is no secret that Lerato sometimes gets carried away and I don’t think I will be safe on the Gauteng roads knowing that chances are great Lerato might be driving, ijo! Mu-vhango’s Khumotjo has turned into a monster that I don’t know, and Lerumo, on the oth-er hand, is being melodramatic and whether he likes it or not, Khomotjo was Phatudi’s wife and unfortunately, Nandi, Le-rumo desired sister in law, was old news to Phatudi. But as for Khomotjo and Lerumo mar-rying each other, aike, I fore-see trouble. Perhaps Phatudi should have stated that Lerumo marry Nandi since the two are so comfortable of each other. Hooooray! Teboho is alive and kicking, now I can breathe a sigh of relief. Thandaza has really thrown herself into the deep end. I will be waiting for that day when Teboho turns her back on Thandaza and tells her to get off. Thandaza will never get Teboho arrested. Yes, Teboho confessed to Thandaza but her statement won’t stand it court. Teboho gets the upper hand, again!

BAFANA BAFANA CRASHED OUT OF CHAN 2014

NB: All the information was correct by the time of going to print. The information is subjected to change as other teams play.

South Africa has once again proved its capability of hosting international

events and the latest being the CHAN 2014. The minister of Sport and Recre-ation, Fikile Mbalula, said in a statement that “Government is working in a coor-dinated manner to ensure that the CHAN 2014 will be safe and secure; citizens and visitors can rest assured that our plans are in place to ensure a successful tourna-ment.” The performance of Bafana Bafana in the tournament has been quite impressive and the boys opened the tournament on a high note with a victory of 3-1 against Mo-zambique. Even though South Africa lost to Nigeria (3-1), the performance of Ber-nard Parker was outstanding. He remains the top scorer with 4 goals in only three matches.
