Kathorus MAIL published a very touching story on our website whereby one of the commu-nity leaders, Joseph Mdluli, said a couple of houses were destroyed, including properties belonging to pensioners, like Gogo Paulina Nhlapho’s (75) case, which is still being addressed by the courts.

The latest development on the case of Gogo Nhlapho is that she has finally won the case.

Now the angry members of the community want an urgent meeting with the Katlehong SAPS com-mander to find a solution to the matter regarding Gogo Nhlapho.

Editorial comment

Editor Zaid Khumalo

Taking the law into own handsT

he story we ran in two pre-vious issues, of a 34-year-old Katlehong rape survivor, has not only touched the

hearts of our readers, but has helped the traumatised single mother fi nd a path to justice and possible closure as the pending arrest of the men allegedly responsible for her rape gets closer.

For this, Kathorus MAIL would also like to commend the head of the Katlehong-based SAPS’s Family Vio-lence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) unit, Col Johannes Mdluli, as well as the Gauteng pro-vincial offi ce of the SAPS, for getting the case back on the court roll.

Our relentless efforts to restore the victim’s dignity and have the men who allegedly gang-raped her arrested are presently taking shape as the suspects are being hunted down and could soon face the full might of the law.

All this came about after the victim contacted our offi ces and poured her broken heart out. The saddest part of her story was when she described how her children were eventually taken away from her by the authori-ties after she was deemed unfi t to be with them due to the mental stress the rape had caused.

We were so touched by her story that we decided to stand up and join her in her battle to seek justice for her and her estranged offspring. Rest assured those allegedly respon-sible for the victim’s trauma will soon be dealt with by the police and the country’s laws.

+++++++++++++++++++++The law must deal with mob justice

Contrary to recent good news about a group of community mem-bers from the Zonkizizwe informal housing settlement who apprehend-ed a known murder suspect and

later handed him over to the local SAPS, an innocent Mpumalanga preacher and his nephew who were falsely accused of murdering two young girls were not so lucky.

The young preacher and his neph-ew were both allegedly murdered by a frenzied mob during a brutal at-tack, which turned out to be another case of mistaken identity.

Grieving family and friends of the two murdered relatives later revealed that their loved ones’ grue-some deaths came soon after the missing girls, aged six and seven, were found in a shallow grave after their mysterious disappearance.

The two men were, without any proof, rounded up and accused of murdering the two young sibling after allegedly sexually assaulting both of them.

The murder of the two innocent relatives was further aggravated by more false claims by the mob that

one of the young girls had been used for ritual purposes.

The preacher and his nephew’s homes gutted and their personal be-longings vandalised and destroyed before they were fi nally killed by the frenzied mob. Bystanders disclosed that the two men were hunted down after they were allegedly “smelled out” by a local traditional doctor who revealed them as the people responsible for the sisters’ death.

Upon further investigations by the police, it was later revealed that both the preacher and his nephew were innocent. Typically, as in most such cases, the police have now cleared the two dead relatives of the murder of the two girls, sending many of the mob-justice perpetra-tors into hiding for fear of being arrested for their involvement in the killing of the innocent pair.

Of course, we ask, what help is this revelation to their grieving

I am disappointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent State of the Nation Address (Sona) for not men-tioning [in his speech] the plight of young people who are addicted to drugs.

Thousands of young people in the townships are addicted to drugs which are destroying their young lives and rendering them useless as members of their com-munities. Many of them are killed while caught steal-ing from the homes of their neighbours.

Concerned parents in the townships suffer silently eve-ry day as they are forced to live in fear of their drug-ad-dicted sons and grandsons. Some of the parents end up being reluctant supporters of

their children’s drug habits for fear of being harmed by their own drug-addicted children.

The widespread drug ad-diction among young people in the townships continues to destroy families and yet our politicians can hardly bring this thorny issue to the fore. Every day we are told how certain aspects of our lives are planned and budgeted for, but nothing is ever mentioned about the thousands of young teenage boys and girls whose lives are destroyed by drugs.

Why is it that the plight of young drug addicts in the townships is ignored, and their issue sidestepped when national issues are discussed by the president? Besides

being a nuisance to society, every young drug addict also endangers his or her own life and those of others.

We’ve witnesses how young drug addicts are ruth-lessly killed by members of the community after they are caught stealing to feed their drug habits. Others are killed by the drugs they consume, or die during drug-fuelled fi ghts, or worse still, they get killed or kill someone during a fi ght for drugs.

And to think that nothing was mentioned by the presi-dent during his Sona speech makes me wonder just how serious politicians are about changing the lives of poor people in our country.Lettie Dolores MasjietPalm Ridge

ScripturesBe not silent, O God of my praise!

For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They beset me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return of my love they accuse, even when I make prayers for them. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for love.

Psalms 109The Bible (RSV)+++++++++++++++++++++++For the soul there is neither birth nor

death at any time.He has not come into being, does not

Suran YunusThe Koran+++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is becoming more common to see people driving under the infl uence of alcohol these days.

Weekends, especially month-end, seem to be the time when most motorists who drive under the infl u-ence of alcohol display their blatant disrespect for the law. Many of these drivers deliberately fl out the law that

forbids anyone from driving under the infl uence of alcohol on a public road.

What makes matters worse is that one hardly ever sees anyone being arrested for breaking this law. Slogans about road safety should go beyond just empty rhetoric as people die almost daily on our roads.

I would like to see the

police focus their attention on drunk drivers at shopping malls, taverns and braais on weekends and month-ends. Law-abiding road users, both pedestrians and motorists, need to be protected from these criminal elements on our roads.Sakhile MpongoseMonaheng SectionKatlehong

families? Their spouses have lost loving partners and their children have been left without family heads and breadwinners.

As the community awaits the eventual arrest of those who pursued and prompted the murder of the two innocent men, many more are demanding to know the fate of the witch doctor who allegedly linked the innocent preacher and his nephew to the death of the two girls.

The scourge of mob-justice vigilantes will have to be seriously addressed by the police, and those involved will have to face the full might of the law. It is now up to the Mpumalanga police to arrest those behind the attack against the inno-cent preacher and his nephew.

The Vosloorus SAPS arrested three men on charges of dealing in dagga at Umdlebe

Street in Extension 25 in Vosloorus on May 31.

The local police offi cers on patrol received a call from community patrollers at around 4.40am.

Capt Soyaphi Manganyi and his crew of Const Them-binkosi Tshabalala and Const Tebogo Khumalo reacted to the call.

The local SAPS commu-nications offi cer Capt Piet Rossouw said when the police offi cers arrived at the address there were six suspects. Three suspects escaped ar-rest, but the other three were apprehended by the police.

“The police offi cers also seized 11 bags full of dagga with an estimated street val-ue of R121 000. The three ar-rested suspects were charged with dealing in dagga, and have already appeared in the Vosloorus Magistrate’s Court on May 31. The case was postponed for further investi-gation and forensic analysis,” Rossouw said.

Vosloorus SAPS com-mander Brig Themba Denge was impressed with the hard work and dedication shown

by the offi cers and the patrol-lers.

“I would like to congratu-late the police and patrollers for their hard work,” said Denge.

Denge encouraged com-munity members to join enlist as patrollers by con-tacting the local CPF offi ce during offi ce hours between 8am and 6pm.

Brig Denge lauds good police work

Three suspects were arrested by the Vosloorus SAPS for being in possession of dagga stashed in 11 bags at Umdlebe Street in Extension 25, Vosloorus. The other three suspects are still at large.

As a result of her hard work and dedication, the Vosloorus Police Station-based Det Const Rivonia Tsiri successfully closed the robbery and possession of unlicensed fi rearm case. But ballistic testing proved the fi rearm was in fact a toy gun.

This resulted in the conviction of Bongani Mlambo (25), who received a heavy sentence for the two charges.

Tsiri told Kathorus MAIL what happened on the day she made the arrest.

She said the complain-ant, Mduduzi Luvuno (23), was walking along Matsapa Street with his girlfriend at around 1.30am.

“They were walking from the BFN Tavern to the boy-friend’s place. When they walked past an open space, they saw two unknown people approaching them. One of them drew a fi rearm, pointed it at them and de-manded their cellphones,” said Tsiri.

She added: “While still

pointing at them with a fi re-arm, a patrolling police van with two police constables from Vosloorus Police Sta-tion approached. Consta-bles Joseph Mokobane and Thokozani Mthembu sus-pected something was going on and went to intervene.

“Seeing the police van ap-proaching them, one of the two suspects ran away, but the police arrested Mlambo

on the spot,” Tsiri said.The police took the

fi rearm for ballistic tests. It turned out to be a toy.

On October 29, Mlambo made his fi rst appearance at the Vosloorus Regional Court. He was found guilty on April 2 and sentenced to nine years in prison on both counts.

The court also found him unfi t to possess a fi rearm.

Tsiri said she was proud as she did something good to get justice for the two victims.

“I hope the sentence will send a strong message to everyone who thinks of committing crime,” Tsiri said.

Communication offi cer at Vosloorus SAPS Capt Piet Rossouw warned commu-nity members not to walk alone from taverns at night. “People must walk in large groups to avoid a situation faced by Luvuno.”

He warned that walk-ing alone makes people to be more vulnerable to criminals.

Robbery suspect sent to jail

Det Const Rivonia Tsiri.

Joint operation conducted by Vosloorus SAPS and Ekurhu-leni West Zone Trio Task Team led to the arrest of three suspects suspected of numer-ous crimes, including taxi violence, hostel killings and business robberies.

Communications offi cer at Vosloorus SAPS Capt Piet Rossouw said the men in blue from Vosloorus acted on a tip-off received from Nguni Hostel in Vosloorus on June 15 at around 9am.

“On their arrival, the police spotted the vehicle with three occupants inside. As the police approached the vehicle the occupants jumped out of the vehicle and the driver pointed a fi rearm at the police,” said Rossouw.

He said with the help of EMPD SWAT Team back-up, the driver was shot once and wounded in his right leg.

“All three male suspects were arrested on scene,” Ros-

souw said.A white Nissan NP200,

suspected to be hijacked in Duduza, was seized. A 9mm pistol and magazine with 16 rounds of ammunition was also seized.

All suspects were detained and the injured suspect is un-der police guard in hospital.

Rossouw said further investigation is underway to determine whether the

suspects can be linked to said crimes committed lately in Vosloorus.

Three cases, including pos-session of suspected hijacked vehicle, possession of unli-censed fi rearm and attempted murder, have been registered at the police station and are undergoing investigation.

The suspects are expected to appear in the Vosloorus Magis-trate’s Court soon.

Andrew Kodisang (43) from Dindela, Vosloorus, told a very touching story of how being addicted to drugs led to him losing his job, his house, cars and his family.

Kodisang delivered his speech and advised the youth to stay away from drugs during the Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness Campaign, an initiative by St James Method-ist Women Fellowship, at the St James Methodist Church in Vosloorus on June 15.

He said bad friends intro-duced him to nyaope and left him to deal with the conse-quences all by himself.

Elaborating on how his life turned into a mess, Kodisang said he worked for Unilever as a machine operator and was getting a good salary for it.

He added he was happily married and had beautiful children.

“I had a very good job, cars, a house, furniture and dogs that were guarding my yard. But I ended up selling every-thing and remained with only an empty house,” Kodisang said.

He said it all started in 2010.“My wife and children could

not stand the humiliation I put them through because I ended up spending most of my time

in hostels, where I met other nyaope addicts, instead of spending time with my family. As a result, my wife took my children and went back to her family.”

Kodisang also shared how he lost his job. He said he ended up being unproductive at work, went to work late and sometimes didn’t go to work at all. He always had fi nancial problems, which led him to stealing from the company.

“One day my bosses were fed up with my attitude and dismissed,” he said.

In 2014, after he had sold

everything, he and his friend started stealing from their own community. One day his friend was caught by community members while stealing. They beat him up, tied him to a tree with a chain and threatened to kill him.

Kodisang said, fearing to die alone, his friend lied to the mob and told them he (Kodisang) was also involved in the crime. He said he was also beaten, tortured, tied to the tree, covered in petrol and almost burnt alive by the mob for something that he did not do.

Kodisang said they were saved by the police.

“A woman who saw the mob justice called the police and they saved us,” said Kodisang.

“That is when I decided to change and turn my life around. I looked for help and found it at Kamva Elitsha Vosloorus Community Based Services (KEVCBS). They organised for me to go to rehab and get help.”

KEVCBS is a non-profi t organisation that works with drug addicts.

Kodisang said KEVCBS helped him and even gave him a job, fi nding help for other drug addicts.

He said after rehabilitation he has been clean since 2014. He now lives happily with his family and is working hard to get back everything he lost.

Brave former addict explains how he turned his life around

Former drug addict Andrew Kodisang (43) from Din-dela, Vosloorus, motivates the youth to stay away from drugs during the Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness Campaign at St James Methodist Church in Vosloorus on June 15.

Tshegofatso Mamushi (23) from Vosloorus entered the Empress South Africa (ESA) pageant and needs your support to win it.

Tshegofatso is a graduate in journalism and media studies. She said she is a mentor and a spiritual guide.

“I run my own woman empowerment organisation, Social Creatures,” she said.

Tshegofatso explained what ESA is about.“ESA is the fi rst and largest beauty pageant

with brains and purpose online contest in the history of beauty pageants in SA. We have embraced technological tools and social media and have become a pioneer and leader for future beauty contests,” she said.

She said there are many beauty pageants that award both national and international titles without affording equal opportunity to all women.

“Most pageants are limited to a specifi c city or province, yet proclaim the title of their pageant to represent the entire country or planet. Many of these pageants only offer op-portunities to models or well-known people who already have modelling skills and/or a certain body type,” Tshegofatso said.

What makes the ESA unique from other beauty pageants is that it is about women empowerment, women leadership and moti-vation, creating opportunities for women and using the beauty and brains platform with the purpose of making a positive impact in our communities across South Africa.

It affords equal opportunities to all women who meet the basic requirements.

“The contest is fun and exciting, yet chal-lenging. It is a long road of self-discovery, personal growth, development and brand

Help beauty win

building. It is for everyone.” Tshegofatso’s journey with ESA started

at the beginning of this year and she is now in a semi-fi nalist, representing the province of Gauteng. She said she is honoured to be part of this phenomenal beauty pageant, has learnt a lot and is still growing into what she wants to be as a model. She has achieved more than expected.

“I am at this stage because I stayed out of my comfort zone, worked hard and believed in myself.”

Everyone who has supported her can continue to like her Facebook page (Tshe-gofatso Mamushi Empress South Africa Semi-Finalist 2019 Gauteng) and follow her on Instagram (Tshegofatso Mamushi semi-fi nalist mesa 2019).

To vote for Tshegofatso SMS “Tshegofatso Mamushi” to 35334, SMSs cost R3.

Tshegofatso Mamushi (23) is proud of her achievement as being a semi-fi nalist of the Empress South Africa pageant.

Vosloorus SAPS commander Brig Themba Denge warned commu-nity members during a recent Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness Campaign not to offer police offi cers bribes. Denge said he was aware that some community members accused police of taking bribes from crimi-nals.

However, Denge accused the com-munity members who offer bribes of being as guilty as the police. He said he was aware of “rotten” offi cers who like money more than their job.

He pleaded with everyone to play

their part in the fi ght against crime.He warned community members

not to continue to offer bribes to the police as it does not help in the fi ght against crime. He encouraged com-munity members to report police offi cers who ask for bribes in order to release suspects.

Denge claimed Vosloorus SAPS is working hard to fi ght crime in the township through recent joint opera-tions, which yielded good results.

Denge said in the fi rst operations that ran for three days, he worked with an anti-gang unit from Johan-

nesburg, where he acted on a tip-off by community members. The anti-gang unit was established after the violence broke out in Sophiatown, where the unit was tasked to get rid of drugs. Denge said the operation was successful as they managed to arrest suspects suspected of drug-dealing with bags of drugs worth hundreds of thousands of rands.

Another joint operation with EMPD and Ekurhuleni West Zone Trio Team, where the police also acted on a tip-off, was conducted at an identifi ed area at Nguni Hostel.

During the operation, three out of 15 suspects accused of taxi violence and hostel killings were arrested on the spot. During the arrest, an unli-censed fi rearm with the serial num-ber fi led off and a vehicle hijacked in Duduza in January were seized.

Denge also mentioned the police are conducting an investigation to link the suspects with the said crimes.

“This is how hard the police are working and putting their lives on the line in order to make Vosloorus a crime-free society,” he said.

Denge said community members should trust the police. If they do not trust the police they must trust him by giving him information about suspicious activities in the township.

“I am aware that the community is afraid to report crime, claiming the police will sell them out to criminals. I promise you, if you report directly to me I will send the police to the identifi ed spot. No one is going to ask me where I got the information from,” concludes Denge.

Denge can be contacted on 082 461 2870.

Denge warns community against offering bribes to police offi cers

An initiative to raise awareness of drug abuse was held in Vosloorus on June 15.

The Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness Walk was organ-ised by the St James Methodist Woman’s Fellowship East Rand branch.

The walk was held in line with Youth Day. On that day in 1976, young people from Soweto protested against the Bantu Education Act introduced by the apartheid government in 1953. The protests turned into an uprising that spread all over the country.

The CPF’s march began at the Vosloorus Police Station at 9am and ended at the St James Methodist Church premises in Vosloorus two hours later.

Vosloorus CPF, SAPS, patrol-lers, youth desk, EMPD, commu-nity members and organisations

that work with drug addicts came in their numbers to partake in the walk.

On the marchers’ arrival at the church, they were warmly wel-comed by the church members.

Speeches to motivate young people were delivered by three former drug addicts later on and two women who came forward to talk openly about their HIV-positive status.

They said because of stigma, it was not easy for them to come forward and speak openly about what they are supposed to keep secret. They said they were doing it out of love for the youth of to-day. They don’t want the youth to make the same mistakes they did.

Christopher Tsiyane, one of the former drug addicts who deliv-ered a motivational talk, advised young people to stay away from drugs.

“Drugs are not only dangerous,

but can also make you lose every-thing you have,” said Tsiyane.

Nonhlanhla Mcunu, one of the HIV and Aids activists, told young people she does not know how she got infected, but after she found out she was HIV-posi-tive she accepted it and started to live her life positively.

“Despite the stigma that goes with being HIV positive, it is still important to tell someone you trust about your status, someone who is going to give you moral support,” said Mcunu.

Zodwa Buthezi, chairperson of St James Methodist Woman’s Fellowship, said the purpose of the day was to pray to God to in-tervene in their fi ght against drug abuse in the township.

She said she wants the youth to copy what the youth of 1976 did and fi ght for a good cause instead of destroying their lives with drugs.

“The youth of 1976 lost their lives fi ghting for the rights of young people. But the very same young people who are supposed to be benefi ciaries of the struggle turn a deaf ear to the lives lost in 1976 instead of grabbing the opportunity to better their lives with both hands. They turn to drugs instead,” said Buthelezi.

Slindile Mnyandu, vice-presi-dent of the St James Methodist Church Young Women Manyano, said young people’s usage of drugs in the township is increas-ing and it is bad for the commu-nity’s economy.

“I believe this happens because when given an opportunity to assist drug addicts people tend to focus more on symptoms instead of the source of the problem.”

She said people no longer care for one another and that parents do not give their children love and enough attention.

CPF in march against drug abuse

Puleng Lekgwathi, coordinator of Community Safety Forum Southern Region Ekurhuleni, and Jerry Ramo-hapi, Vosloorus CPF secretary, lead the marchers during the Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness Walk in Vosloorus on June 15.

Members of Brother’s Keeper in Vosloorus who formed the organisation in 2008.

David Mbele, the chairper-son of Brother’s Keeper, a non-profit organisation (NPO) based in Vosloorus, said their organisation is working hard to groom and nurture young people to become the good leaders of tomorrow.

He said the organisation was formed in 2008.

“After seeing that young people are misled by what they see on television, we decided to start this or-ganisation to show them the right way,” said Mbele.

He said in future this country will lack good lead-ers if we do not guide them in the right direction.

“Young people of today are too addicted to televi-sion. As a result, they think what they see on TV is good. If we do not guide them in the right direction this country will lack good lead-ers like Nelson Mandela,” said Mbele.

He said Brother’s Keeper members visit schools, organise seminars with schoolchildren and motivate them. He also mentioned the result of their motivation is yielding good results and that he is humbled by the response from schools where they have delivered motiva-tional talks.

Another purpose of

Brother’s Keeper is to have young people encourage oth-ers to read as it strengthen one’s mind and makes them see the importance of going to school instead of bunking and using drugs.

“Young people, especially those who smoke or use drugs at school, see their teachers as enemies. We make it our responsibility to make these young people have good relationship with their teachers,” Mbele said.

He said as fathers of tomorrow, they are helping young people to stay positive in their mindset, discourag-ing bullying and growing in drug-free environment.

NPO passionate about grooming tomorrow’s leaders

An initiative to raise aware-ness of child abuse was held in Katlehong on June 7.

The initiative saw children under six years, in the care of their parents or guardians, march from Emabhodweni’s administration block, to the local Huntersfi eld Stadium. They came from 14 early childhood development (ECD) centres in Katlehong.

The Achievers Early Child-hood Development Associa-tion (AECDA), which is the governing body, and whose aim is to improve how ECDs are run, led the protest march.

AECDA chairperson Kate Mohulatse said the purpose of the march was to raise aware-ness of child abuse, hence the idea to allow children from young as six and below to be part of the protest march. Mohulatse said the idea was to sensitise the perpetrators of abuse to stop the act, a call that has over a period of a long time been falling on deaf ears.

“The abuse is still happening all over the country and often ends with innocent children molested and murdered. We thought if we let children to be at the centre of the protest march perhaps the perpetra-tors will hear their cry and stop the abuse,” said Mohu-latse.

She said the community responded well to the call. “It was positive and encourag-

ing,” she said.At the stadium, the children

were treated to sports ac-tivities and were addressed by speakers on different subjects.

Speakers from Child Line talked about various forms of abuse. The organisation was represented by Thobile Nxumalo, a Katlehong offi ce manager.

EMPD and SAPS Social Crime units warned children to refuse gifts and money from strangers. They also advised about safe playing areas.

Const Lerato Shekeshe represented EMPD, with Capt Lesetja Mathobela represent-ing the SAPS.

Kabelo Motupa of the Ekurhuleni Emergency Ser-vices gave tips on what to do when fi res break out and how to prevent them from spread-ing.

Eskom’s Eric Zibi gave a talk on how to safely use electric-ity.

Representatives from Ekup-holeni Mental Health and Trauma Centre and Ekurhu-leni Sport and Recreation attended the event.

The following ECD centres took part in the protest march: Vuyolethu and Futyela Pre-Schools, Botshelo, Early-To-Rise, Vumelani, Siqalo, Bright Future, Ntuthuko, Step-By-Step and Philasande Day Care, Grace, Dynamic Kids, Tsakane and Hope.

March draws attention to the abuse of children

Members of BMW Kathorus Club with children from Lin-dokuhle Home for Children with Dis-abilities in Siluma-view, Katlehong, on June 8.

BMW Kathorus Club hosted its charity run at Lindokuhle Home for Children with Dis-abilities (LHCD) in Siluma-

view, Katlehong, on June 8.The purpose behind the formation

of the club was to make a difference in the local community of Kathorus and Ekurhuleni at large by remov-ing some of the burdens by means of donating to needy organisations in the communities.

The club went all the way by do-nating groceries to LHCD.

The donations were received with utmost gratitude by all the stake-holders.

LHCD offers a home to more than 10 orphans from different areas in Kathorus. Some of the children have

different disabilities. LHCD survives through help from good Samaritans.

Eunice Gatebe (66), founder of LHCD, said she was excited about the kind gesture from BMW Katho-rus Club.

“What they did is exactly what we needed. Actually, they relieved some of the burdens in our home since we do not get funds from the govern-ment,” said Gatebe.

She said she would highly ap-preciate it if she could receive more similar donations, stating food and pumpers are what they need most.

“We are a group of BMW mo-tor vehicle owners who have come together for a common purpose, which is to give back to our local communities. There are many mo-

tor vehicle clubs in our area which are mainly for show-off and shine. We decided to be a club with a difference. Our main purpose is to help the charity organisations in our community. That is why we are here today,” said Keaboka Smith-Mphuti, the club media and liaison officer.

This event was attended by the members of the BMW Kathorus Club, management of LHCD and the children who are day visitors and residents at LHCD. The club hosts such charity runs on a monthly basis.

For more information about the club and donations contact Rahiem Mdaka, club chairperson, on 083 669 2016 or Smith-Mphuti on 071 794 9127.

Rebonwe Primary School girls from Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal’s Primary School boys will travel to Spain to

participate in the Danone Nations Cup world finals.

South Africa will make history later this year by sending an u-12 girls’ soccer team to compete in the Danone Nations Cup world finals, to com-pete against seven other nations. The Gauteng girls’ team to represent the country comes from an informal set-tlement in Ivory Park.

They earned the opportunity to represent SA by winning the Danone Nations Cup girls’ tournament in Reiger Park, Boksburg, last weekend. They will be accompanied by the boys from Muzuvukile Primary School of Enseleni, a rural area near Richards Bay, who won the boys’ national finals at the same venue.

A girls’ tournament was intro-duced for the first time this year, but because most schools do not have the girls-only teams. This was a pilot tour-nament in Gauteng with 40 schools participating. There were regional finals and eight schools went through to a provincial playoff. The teams that reached the semifinals were invited to compete at the national finals.

Rebonwe met Michael Mkhwanazi Primary in the final. They had played each other earlier in the day and Michael Mkhwanazi won the closely contested match 2-1.

Rebonwe knew they were in for a tough game in the final. They gave it everything from the beginning. This time they were better prepared and created many scoring opportunities. They were first to score, but Michael Mkhwanazi equalised within minutes.

Rabonwe had the better of the exchanges. They came close to scor-ing right at the end of the game. The match ended in a draw. The game was decided on penalty shoot-out, which Rebonwe won, adding their national title to their provincial title.

At the same time, the nine boys’ provincial champions competed in the playoffs for their national title. The teams were divided into two groups, with the two teams topping the log meeting in the finals.

Muzuvukile were always going to be

the team to beat based on their excep-tional performance in the provincial finals. They are a strong team. Three of their players have been invited to attend trials at Mamelodi Sundowns. They won all their league games to finish on top of their pool and met Group B winners Patekile from the Eastern Cape in the finals.

Muzuvukile were the only team to have won all their matches leading up to the finals. They had many chances to score but the Patekile goalkeeper, Alethu Mathumbu, was outstanding.

Patekile tried to take advantage of the odd counter-attack but never re-

ally threatened the Muzuvukile goal.With a couple of minutes left in the

match, just as the spectators started to think that we would have another penalty shoot-out, Siyanda Masinga from Muzuvukile managed to get the ball past Alethu to give Muzuvukile the lead. They had a few more chances to add to their lead but once again Alethu was there to stop them scoring and they ran out 1-0 winners.

It’s now back to school for the win-ners to put together a plan in prepara-tion of the world finals scheduled for Barcelona starting from October 10. The finals take place October 12. All

the games will take place at the RCDE Stadium, home ground La Liga club, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona.

In attendance at the national finals was Amanda Dlamini, ex-captain of Banyana Banyana, to encourage the girls.

“I was 22 when I first travelled overseas for Banyana Banyana. I remember that experience well. It was daunting and a bit frightening, but it opened my eyes to the limitless opportunities that exist in the world. I matured fast and I believe these young 12 year-old will feel the same,” said Amanda.

From the streets to Barcelona

Thelle Mogoerane Regional Hospital in Vosloorus is help-ing the previously disadvan-taged to regain their eyesight through the hard-working eye clinic unit, which is led by Dr Asher Sharif.

Third World countries are severely affected by cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects the vision. Most cataracts are related to ageing and are very common in older people.

Hospital spokesperson Philani Mhlungu said Thelle Mogoerane Hospital Eye Clinic will render its services to the people of age groups, from premature infants to elderly people.

“The hospital sees between 60 and 70 patients per day. On a monthly basis, we perform approximately 100 eye opera-tions,” he said.

He said there is a backlog of 300 patients at the hospital who need a cataract operation, which includes mainly old people.

“As part of addressing the backlog, we are conducting a cataract marathon over the weekend.

“We must commend the eye clinic team, which consists of four doctors, two special-ists, two medical offi cers, one optometrist and one ophthal-mology nurse, who are doing a sterling job.

“Despite the challenge of staff shortages across the health sector, they are making a meaningful contribution,” Sharif said.

The clinic regularly conducts health awareness campaigns because prevention is better than cure.

“The hospital is looking forward to a partnership with Infi nity Health, St John’s Or-ganisation and Islamic Foun-dation of South Africa, who are potential partners who are going to intervene in our service delivery challenges,” said Sharif.The hospital wishes to thank the patients who have shared their experiences about regaining their eyesight.

African Full Contact Karate Organi-sation (AFCKO) participated in the IKO-Matsushima Tournament held in Umlazi township in Dur-ban, KZN, on June 8.

The annual tournament saw more than 250 young karatekas from all over the country gather at the Umlazi Section V Community Hall. The tourney was organised by Umlazi Baker Dojo under the leadership of sensei Mabhiyoza Nene.

Two young karatekas from AFCKO used the given opportunity to showcase their contact karate skills.

There were 12 AFCKO juniors

from Thokoza, Gauteng, who par-ticipated in the tournament.

AFCKO founder, shihan Thu-lane Sibisi, said two of his ka-rate proteges - sempai Thabang Mothibatshila and sempai Thabi-tha Masha - did not disappoint. In their category, they took second and fourth positions respectively. Masha is affectionately known as “AFCKO Diva”.

“Mothibatshila, a Grade 10 learner at Kwa-Dukathole Second-ary School, participated in the boys u-50kg category. He had a tough draw in the semi-fi nals. He faced one of the toughest opponents and ended up with an injured left leg. But he fought like a lion and domi-nated the fi ght. He won by defeating his opponent,” said Sibisi.

He said they are very proud of Mothibatshila’s achievement.

Masha, a Grade 11 learner, also from Kwa-Dukathole Secondary School, acquitted herself well, making the AFCKO family proud.

She joined in 2016 and has not disappointed.

Sibisi said Masha is one of the most dedicated female karate stu-dents he has ever taught.

“She has always been a very loyal member of AFCKO. She lost in the semi-final, earning position four.

“It was a team effort from prepa-rations until the day of the event,” Sibisi said.

He added: “Mental fitness is important in full contact karate.”

The karate guru thanked all par-ents who supported the team.

AFCKO’s holiday programme is due to start on June 28 and end on July 5.

Villa Liza Masters FC (VLM-FC) came back from a goal down to defeat Vosloorus Boksburg Danswart Taxi

Association Football Club (VBDTS-FC) 3-1 in a friendly match at Lesedi Sports Grounds on June 23.

The two teams were playing for the sum of R800 as each team contrib-uted R400.

VLMFC participates in the Ekurhu-

leni Masters League while the hosts, VBDTAFC, is formed by taxi drivers who work for the association.

It did not come as a surprise to see the home team grab the lead within 10 minutes as they dominated the game for the entire 30 minutes. Their goal was scored by Fire Mlilo.

Ten minutes before the end of the fi rst half the visitors gained their momentum. As a result of their hard work they were awarded a penalty after their striker was pulled down inside the box.

Sdumo Rakhokha chose the right

spot to send the home team keeper in the wrong direction. The score was 1-1 two minutes before the end of the fi rst half.

A few minutes after the start of the second half VBDTAFC left wing Jomo Tladi was injured and substituted. This gave the visiting team more freedom to attack, using the void left by Tladi.

The second and third goals came and the score was 3-1 to the visiting team.

According to Msawawa Thaga, home team coach, they are not disap-

pointed by the results as they lost the game to a very good team.

He cited two reasons which led to them losing the game - one is they did not have enough time to prepare for the game and two, losing Tladi through injury.

“We have one left-footed midfi eld-er. After he was injured they added more players to the middle of fi eld to dominate our midfi eld. As a result, we lost the game,” said Thaga.

He said they learnt a lot from this game and they are going back to the drawing board to fi x the mistakes that

cost them the game.Bannanan Makua, VBDTAFC right

wing, said they have heard there is a team made up of Ikhwekhwezi FM presenters.

“We would like to challenge them to a game,” said Makua.Vusi Mbele, scorer of VLMFC’s second goal, said he feels good about winning the game.

“They have been challenging us for a long time now,” said Mbele.

The game was held to strengthen the relationship between passengers and taxi drivers.

Two AFCKO karate junior students who made AFCKO proud during the IKO-Matsushima Tournament held in Umlazi Town-ship, Durban, KZN, are sempai Thabang Mothibatshila (left) and sempai Thabitha Masha who is famously known as AFCKO Diva. Mothibatshila and Masha are Grade 10 and 11 learners from KwaDukathole Secondary School in Katlehong.
