Little Lungelo Masiza received a wheelchair on Mandela Day thanks to DA councillors Faeeza Chame and Rashieda Landis. The wheelchair was handed over to the three-year-old boy while the community and Clr Chame were doing a cleanup in South Hills.“A week prior to the cleanup I was approached by one of the residents informing me about Lungelo needing a wheelchair. I approached Clr Rashieda Landis for assistance,” Clr Chame explained.Chame said the looks on Lungelo’s and his mother’s faces were “priceless.”

St John Bosco Parish’s Priest Fr John Thompson started a blanket drive at St John Bosco Parish in Robertsham this winter. Parishioners were asked to bring blankets for the needy or to give a donation in lieu of blankets on Blanket Sunday which was held on 29 June.On the day, a generous donor gave 700 blankets, and cash was collected to buy more blankets. All in all, a total of 1 500 blankets were collected.The blankets were distributed to people collecting food parcels on Tuesday mornings at the Parish and parishioners involved in the church’s prison ministry also took some blankets to prisoners. Refugees at the Cathedral, homes for the elderly and various schools also benefited.

There is a saying that goes: “No matter how you feel, get up, get dressed and show up” or the slightly harsher one “Put your big girl panties on and deal with it.” Last week, especially on Thursday and Friday, I had to keep on reminding myself of these sayings to motivate myself to push through.I do not know if it is the age I am at but there are many mornings I wake up and question if my life is on track and if I have purpose and why I am doing what I am doing. Most of the days I know I have a purpose which gives me energy and excitement to conquer the day but, to be honest, I also have those days that I get up, get dressed and show up but the smile on my face is just a big front covering up the mass of conflict and confusion that goes on in my head.I have started to hate the human mind as it has way too much power - if a thought or idea gets captured there and the mind finds it fascinating (even if it is negative) it will keep it there and eventually make it captive. That is how I have been feeling - like a captive of my own mind. Add the pressures of everyday life, work pressure, social relationships and it just gets messier.As my father would tell me, “My girl, that is life” and yes, I get that. I look at my life and my future looks very bright; God is blessing me with great opportunities and with His favour I know I have exciting experiences to look forward to. However, the question I pose to all readers is how do you get through those bad days? I interviewed Dylan da Silva (pg20) and his attitude is spot on: “You can’t be a couch potato. God has put you here for a reason; find that reason and do it.”In my words that means: “Laurelle, stop feeling sorry for yourself and let your light shine.” Whenever I am feeling a bit down, I go and visit my three adorable and very handsome nephews, Blayne, Liam and Pierre. Their smiles show me light and, after all, light always chases away darkness.

On 22 July Michele Clarke, DA spokesperson on Community Safety, asked oral questions of the MEC of Community Safety regarding the recently noted partnership between SANRAL and Gauteng Traffic Police at roadblocks in the province. The MEC admitted that SANRAL has no official mandate at these roadblocks and that they play only a supportive role by providing advanced technology. According to the MEC, only Gauteng Traffic Police are able to stop vehicles and conduct general law enforcement. The MEC further denied any intimidation on the part of SANRAL or Gauteng Traffic

Police with regard to forcing people to buy e-tags. This, however, is contrary to the many reported incidents of such intimidation by members of the public in recent weeks. Clarke urges the MEC to investigate these reports thoroughly and to provide clear steps as to how the Department will ensure that this does not continue.

Members of the public who experience such incidents are encouraged to report these immediately to the DA via the following number: 060 558 8309. Clarke will undertake to raise all of these reports directly with the MEC.

Michael Stylianou, Managing Director of Aspen Hills Development Company and Dimension Property Group, a large development company of residential estates, has predicted that as the economy has turned and the overhang of distressed properties in the market has been taken up, there will be a major shortage of proclaimed and serviced residential stands in Gauteng.The reason for this, explained Stylianou, is that the local authorities have confirmed that very few new or large township applications have been received over the past few years for major developments within the Johannesburg Metro Council’s area of jurisdiction.The process of getting large developments proclaimed and serviced now takes between 5 and 7 years and the fact that very few applications for large-scale developments have been put in process in the last few years means that a large gap is being created through the process and no new large township applications are expected until developers are firmly convinced that the market is recovering and that a steady recovery is sustainable in the long term.Due to the time period required to bring new land to the market, which includes the significant problem of obtaining sufficient electricity supplies for such developments, Stylianou stated that prices of proclaimed and serviced stands (especially in security estates) have escalated over the last four years and have increased substantially

due to the lack of supply. The supply of such stands, he said, is very limited and the difficulties of getting such townships through the process are enormous and time-consuming.He explained that many of the smaller developers have also been shaken out of the market because of the recession and market challenges, and that smaller developers have great difficulty in obtaining development finance from the banks to undertake their developments. This would further add to the shortage that is looming.The fortunate few who purchased properties in primary residential estates in the last eight years have benefited and the value of their investments has out-performed the prices achieved in the general housing market.Byron Caloyannis, MD of Pam Golding Properties Johannesburg South and Alberton, said the enquiry rate for homes in secure estates far outstrips the demand for single residential homes in conventional suburbs.

Thanks to Coert Grobbelaar, an operatic tenor who stays in Eikenhof, the Olive Tree Coffee Shop at Thaba Eco Hotel has put quiche back on the menu. Grobbelaar was recently very disappointed when he found out that it had been removed from the menu and asked Rueben Louw, the owner of the hotel, to put it back. Louw agreed, but only on condition that Grobbelaar did something special for the coffee shop.What was that s o m e t h i n g ? Grobbelaar, along with his pianist Rudolf Geldenhuis, performed three operatic songs for 25 delighted women from the Come Back Mission in Eldorado Park and their senior citizens.Each of the songs related to one of the three quiches that had been put back on the menu. There was an Italian song for the spinach and feta quiche, a song from Vienna for the quiche Lorraine and a song in English for his favourite quiche, a delicious creation of salmon, cream cheese, spring onions and chives which has been named Tenor Coert’s quiche, after the singer.The ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves, taking selfies with their cellphones, swaying in time to Coert’s rich, operatic voice and then enjoying the three different quiches with a healthy salad.Ruby Van Staden from Come Back Mission described the outing as “a beautiful blessing” for the women.

Meyersdal Mall, in association with Meyersdal Square, partnered with various stakeholders to paint classrooms at the Opelweg Primary School in Eden Park as part of celebrating their 67 minutes on Mandela Day.The stakeholders were Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited, the City of Ekurhuleni and Pam Golding

Properties. Taso Christoforou, the owner of Meyersdal Mall and Square, said, “Mandela is an inspiration. Being an immigrant I was also liberated to be part of the new South Africa. He was a great leader; as foreigners living in this country we are privileged to be part of this rainbow nation. Hence we are celebrating his birthday today.”Speaker of the City of Ekurhuleni, Patricia Khumalo, said that Mandela symbolises dedication, hard work, accountability and a love for people. “We can only become a prosperous nation if we have an educated

society which is a cornerstone in addressing social ills. Mandela Day must be practised every day in making sure that we help the less fortunate.” Michael Varney, National Marketing Manager of Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited said they also donated paint to make the environment appealing for learners.In conclusion, Roger John, the principal of Opelweg Primary School said, “It is for the first time that the school had an event of such magnitude to honour and remember the world icon, Nelson Mandela. We thank all the stakeholders for investing in our school - it will create an appealing environment for learning.”

Nelson Mandela believed in the power of women and in the crucial role they play in creating change and developing communities. The Miss Earth South Africa (MESA) strives to honour his legacy by empowering, growing and encouraging young women from all corners of South Africa through environmental education about sustainable lifestyles and by harnessing their passion for this country’s future.“It starts by turning the talk into action. Young women are the movers and shakers of our community and the mothers of our future leaders, it is our responsibility to nurture them,” said the Executive Director of the Miss Earth Africa leadership programme Catherine Constantinides.The MESA team spent their Mandela Day working in Orange Farm at the four-year-old school Solwazi Primary School. Constantinides had initiated this project with one goal in mind: Make Food Security Possible. So, on Mandela Day on Friday 18 July, joining hands to plant a food garden and

paint classrooms was the objective. The vegetable garden was set up using old tyres donated by Imperial Toyota, Lombard tyres and Redisa. Redisa has to date saved 26 388 tons of waste tyres from landfill sites and burning, saying; “We’re all happy to use tyres, but don’t give any thought to what happens to them when they reach the end of their useful life.” The MESA team and the Mandela Day volunteers found a use for these tyres with contributions from the Fourways Farmers Market, GroMor and Earth Outdoor Living Nursery. The vegetables will be used in the school’s feeding scheme. Classrooms were upgraded and painted to create a conducive learning environment with non-toxic, non-flammable paint sponsored by Green Coat Eco Paint. Meals on Wheels provided a hot lunch for community members; and food hampers and fruit packs were collected by each of this year’s MESA National Finalists.For more information please contact Earth House at [email protected] or call Georgina Cost on 082 505 0664.

Just as you cannot play a serious soccer match without using the rule-book and a proper referee, so you cannot do democracy without observing the rule of law, obeying the Speaker of Parliament and respecting voters and taxpayers. When EFF members stormed the Gauteng Provincial Legislature on Tuesday, they trampled underfoot one of the main symbols of this nation’s hard-won freedoms. Parliament is not just a place where fatcats have fashion parades and stuff their faces, as the Honourable Malema would have us believe. It is an institution where the representatives of the people make the laws that determine the character of South Africans and shape our collective future. The Commander-in-Chief should be encouraging his MPs and MPLs to debate the burning issues of poverty, unemployment and service delivery vigorously in their various Houses. His party’s researchers should be fully engaged in diligent analysis of the lengthy reports tabled by government departments so that the EFF Honourable Members can guide as many portfolio committees as possible with solutions to our country’s complex social and economic problems. When EFF members burned a mobile satellite police station in Johannesburg on Tuesday, they showed contempt for the rule of law. What kind of governing system does the EFF support? A thugogracy in which only the strongest and most ruthless eat and the

rest go hungry? When Malema’s followers ate the food reserved for MPLs after the sitting, were they really protesting against excessive government spending or were they demonstrating what they plan to do with any funds liberated by nationalisation? The most troubling part of Tuesday’s rampage, however, was not the defiance of police orders or the sight of red overalled protesters sitting on the red carpet outside the Gauteng debating chamber, but the looting of hawkers’ stalls in the streets of Johannesburg. This was not only a criminal offence cruelly committed against some of the most vulnerable in our society, but also a mockery of everything the Economic Freedom Fighters claim to stand for.In order to rescue his credibility, the Commander-in-Chief needs to apologise to taxpayers in general and his voters in particular, and make restitution to the street vendors in question. Unless and until this is done, he and his party will appear afraid of debate. According to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, the EFF has already boycotted two of the most important debates of the year: the provincial budget debate and the State of the Province debate.References: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Pol i t ics /Malema-hurt - in- f racas-at -Gauteng-Legislature-20140722http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71654?oid=653370&sn=Detail&pid=71654

i stay in limpopo street, near the Winchester sport Centre and at about 03:00 on sunday morning (20 July) i was woken by a car hooting. for a period of about half an hour the hooting kept starting and stopping until eventually i had had enough and went to my front gate to see who was making this disturbance. Opposite my house in the small road leading down to the Sports Centre I saw a car and I shouted at the occupant to stop hooting. A young man got out of the car and asked why I was screaming at him. Why indeed! I pointed out that he was causing a disturbance. He said it was not him hooting but the occupants of another car which was parked at the corner of Limpopo and Seder Streets. He then said that the residents of one of the houses in Limpopo Street had threatened to “f... him up.” Considering that all the houses in the street had been quiet for hours before the hooting started and that everyone was probably sleeping I thought this was strange

as I had heard no previous disturbance. I went out into the street with the intention of confronting the occupants of the other car but halfway there I realised that this was a stupid thing to do, so I shouted at them from a distance to leave. Another man got out of the car and responded by screaming, “This is not your country.” I returned to my house with the intention of calling the police and on my way back the young man I had first encountered approached me and said that he would speak to the occupants of the car. I saw him go up to the car and shortly thereafter both cars left. Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any idea why people would be parked in the street hooting at various intervals in the early hours of the morning?A body was found on the small piece of waste ground just behind the Shell Garage only a week or so ago; we really do not need any more trouble.

46-year-old Thomas Sadiki went missing on 26 June 2014 on his way to work. It is believed that he took a lift with his normal lift club in the morning and never arrived at work.

The lift club driver mentioned that he was asked to drop Thomas off on the corner of Bree and Sauer Streets in Johannesburg, where he said he was going to catch a taxi. If anyone can assist, please contact D/Sergeant Nemavhola on 083 752 2411.

Cooking shows have been a part of global culture for years and South Africa has embraced the trend. Shows like Come Dine with Me SA, Master Chef SA, Kasi Kitchen and The Perfect Sishebo Show, which are every bit as good as international cooking shows - but with the added benefit of a strong Mzansi flavour - have enjoyed great followings.The South of Johannesburg has also embraced the growing trend, with Southgate Mall’s Flavours of the South food festival. This kicked off on 19 July with a Masterclass by the main sponsor of the cook-off, Philips, which showcased quick, healthy and convenient cooking, a celebrity foodie cooking contest and children’s cooking demonstrations. The show will culminate in a stiff competition on 16 August in which 12 semi-finalist families will battle it out for the prize, pitting

their original family recipes against each other. Big name partners such as Sowetan, Spekko, Woolworths and junior chef cooking school Little Cooks Club will also be part of this amazing family spectacle.

Lerato Educational Centre truly had an amazing Mandela Day. The children were spoiled by The Nashua Children’s Char-ity Foundation, and shared a cake with directors, staff and numerous celebrities including South African soccer legends Mark Fish and Andre Arendse.

Rene Parker from Lerato said, “Six of our children were spoiled with various items from GAP clothing, sweet packs and lunch. We also received a large amount of food, stationery, clothing and toys. Nashua has gone far and beyond to ensure we are able to feed our 460 children this term.”

Early child development is a complex process, with many lessons learnt at this fundamental phase having far-reaching effects, including a child’s aptitude for certain subjects. One of the most important skills that will have a significant impact on an individual’s life is mathematics – the ability to count, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Depending on the profession one pursues in life, mathematical skills are vital in problem-solving, which is why the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), through Engenius, is encouraging an appreciation of maths in the nation in order to prepare more citizens for a career in engineering. Engenius has gathered some pointers for parents who want to develop a love for maths in their children from an early age. Sandisa Maqubela, who facilitates Engenius, recommends a few simple, yet effective ,activities that parents can do to increase

their children’s love and understanding of maths, to reinforce the skills learnt in school.

LooSE changEMost families have a jar or a container in which they collect loose change. Over time, this container can become quite full and a task you can get your children to do is to count the money in the jar. This will give them a practical lesson in addition, and it will increase their understanding of money and denominations. They may also be allowed to buy a treat with some of the money.

PaTTErnS arE IMPorTanTPatterns are a great way of learning, and they are all around us, in art, furnishings and even paving. You can also increase your child’s interest in patterns through activities such as jigsaw puzzles, dominoes and tanagrams. When you are in the mall, you

can count the different coloured tiles as you walk between aisles.

a faMILy ThaT PLayS TogEThEr STayS TogEThErFamily games such as snakes and ladders, Uno, and Connect 4 can help children learn valuable skills in a fun and enjoyable way. These games help develop children’s counting skills, as well as addition, subtraction and division. As the children get older, as a means of developing strategic thinking skills, parents can introduce Monopoly, backgammon, chess and even Jenga. These can be competitive, so be prepared for some sibling squabbles.

BuILdIng BLockSFrom a very early age, children like to stack things on top of each other. Let your child play with mathematical shapes such as blocks, Lego and even Meccano. These are very helpful as they provide the child with a concrete perception of shapes and space at an early age.

rEad ThEM BookS ThaT IncorPoraTE

MaThSMake the kids connect with maths even in story-time. Read them books in which the main characters solve a problem using maths, such as One Hundred Angry Ants by Ellinor J. Pinczes, The King’s Commissioners by Aileen Friedman and Socrates and the Three Little Pigs by Tuyosi Mori. You will be increasing their aptitude in maths subliminally, especially if they struggle with it.

Show ThEM ThaT MaThS IS EvErywhErEIncorporate maths into their everyday experience; show them symmetrical shapes in nature, pricing in supermarkets, and geometry in buildings. Make up games linked to vehicle registration numbers on long trips. Count the number of certain models of cars on the way home from school. Teach them about time while baking – they can count the minutes while their cupcakes bake. Make simple tasks like boiling eggs fun, by letting them set the egg-timer. “As parents balance their cheque-books, buy shoes, measure distances and check their time, they should include their children in these activities, to get them excited about maths,” concludes Sandisa.

Glenanda Primary has made a wonderful difference to the life of Grade 2 learner, Sam Gudla, by collecting R7000 to buy him two upgraded hearings aids, one for school and one for home.The 9-year-old boy’s hearing disability was discovered when Glenanda Primary hosted a hearing screening session in 2012 in association with Calligaro & King.

This annual road cycle event, now in its 19th year since inception, will take place once more on 21 September 2014. Sponsored by Rand Water, the Race for Victory is well recognised on the national cycling calendar as being a challenging and well organised event. Not only does Rand Water sponsor the event, but their staff also provide valuable assistance in terms of water points and logistical support. The various routes and distances on offer (150km, 110km and 54km) encompass the well known southern roads of Gauteng, with the start and finish venue being the Rand Water Zwartkopjies Pumping station situated just 15km south of Johannesburg CBD. This is a popular training ground for local cyclists. The elite and professional riders will cover the 150km distance, with the steep uphills and rapid descents of the scenic Suikersbosrand Nature Reserve being the main obstacle of their route. The best racing cyclists in South Africa regard the route as being of an international standard. Past winners include the likes of familiar names such as Darryl Impey, Reinhardt Janse van Rensburg, Darren Lill, Nic White, Malcolm Lange and defending champion from 2013, Calvin Beneke. The 110km event is held on undulating roads in the Meyerton / Henley-on-Klip area and is a premier seeding event for the 2015 Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Momentum Cycle Tour in Cape Town, and the 94.7 Momentum Cycle Challenge in November later this year. Racing ladies, veterans, juniors, under 16’s,

as well as all the open seeded cyclists, will be catered for with R70 000 prize money up for grabs. The prize money for the King of the Mountain is sponsored by Dimension Data.The 54km distance offers the ideal distance for recreational and less fit cyclists.There is a special corporate or group section in the110km distance which groups/clubs/companies, etc are encouraged to enter. The idea of this category is to stimulate unity and teamwork within a group without being ultra competitive. All funds and proceeds of the day go towards Frances Vorwerg School (which caters for physically and learning disabled learners). The school is situated in Haddon in the south of Johannesburg.Other sponsors which contribute greatly are Suzuki @ i POP Johannesburg South, GWM, Netcare 911, Netcare Union Hospital, Coca Cola, Devin Signs, The Glen Shopping Centre and Suikersbosrand Nature reserve.

Entries are already open. Go to www.raceforvictory.co.za to enter online. Entrants must be members of the CSA.

Race for Victory title up for grabsThe stage is set for an extraordinary spectacle when the Trade Route Mall Junior LPL in association with Gunn and Moore kicks off on 2 August. It is the fourth year of this tournament which now boasts u/13, u/15 and u/21 divisions. Five of the most successful clubs, Orange Farm, Alberton, Marks Park, Florida and Central will all compete over the weekends in August at the Tech Grounds and Progress Primary Grounds as the Trade Route Mall Junior LPL unfolds. The two-month long tournament commences on Saturday and for the first time in the history of the competition these young super stars will have the opportunity to play some of the knockout matches under lights at the Joburg Cricket Stadium. While the final champions will not be known until 21 September, the top four teams of each group at U/13 level and top two teams of each group at U/15 level, will qualify for the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, thus marking 13 September as a red letter day. The introduction of the Youth LPL – an U/21 tournament which is co-sponsored by the Carlton Centre - will be welcomed this year. This will showcase many talented up-and-coming cricketers who fall under the six LPL franchise banners and enable them to pit their skills against each other. This tournament will take place on 22 August under lights in a festival atmosphere at the Joburg Cricket Stadium. Each of the senior franchises has

taken these U/21 lads under their wing and will hope to mentor them on the way to future stardom. A quick look at the history books of the tournament shows just how quickly the tournament’s motto “where stars are born” can become a reality. Quinton De Kock, a mere 2 years ago represented the Sporting Supermen and today he is playing in Sri Lanka alongside the world’s best players for South Africa.

Golden Oldies Dart Reunion

Anyone who has met Dylan da

Silva will know his

determination is infectious, and one can only be inspired by his wise words, “You can’t be a couch potato. God has put you here for a reason; find that reason and do it.”Da Silva was born

with Phocomelia, which means that he does not have complete arms and hands. This has, however, never stopped him from living life to the full and

achieving his ambitions. God has blessed him with the ability to swim, cycle and run; and he is using

every opportunity that comes his way to do so. The 19-year-old athlete is well known in Mondeor, not only for his sporting success - he has provincial and national colours for cycling - but also as an active Mondeor CPF patroller. “I am keeping crime low to make my area a better environment, so children can go kick a soccer ball around without worrying about getting mugged,” he told tame TIMES.Another great achievement he has added to his list was summitting Mount Kilimanjaro in February this year with the ParaAwesomes, a group of disabled people. His main goal, however, has always been to compete in the 2016 Paralympics. He was recently chosen to represent South Africa in the TransCanada Corp. World Elite Triathlon Grand Final which takes place at the end of August. This

invitation came after da Silva, who competes in the PT3 category, had participated in only two triathlons - the Gauteng provincials and the South African nationals – but won gold medals for both. The challenge currently facing Da Silva is that he has to raise his own funds in order to compete in Canada. tame TIMES therefore calls on the community to assist this courageous young man with donations or sponsorship, as he is clearly destined for greatness. Anyone who is interested in sponsoring Dylan da Silva’s trip to TransCanada Corp. World Elite Triathlon Grand Final should please contact Melissa da Silva on 084 352 3228.https://www.facebook.com/dylan.dasilva.773
