TUT suspends classes as students continue protest

Words and Images: Frans Malatsi

TUT student leaders said management had not

addressed demands they raised in a memorandum prior to Zuma's announcement on Friday 23 October. “Look, before we went to the 'fees must fall' march we had a memorandum that we submitted on campus issues, Said Monkie Maluleka, campus chairperson of the South African Students Congress (Sasco)”. He said these demands included funding of students who were left out of National Students Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) earlier in the year. “They were told NSFAS funds had been depleted. That memorandum was not entertained,” said Maluleka.The memorandum also demanded upgrade of security on campus and cafeteria health standards, Maluleka said. De Ruyter TUT's spokesperson said it was in best interest of students that they now go back to class. “We need to get students back in the classroom. They need

to be able to complete their academic year successfully. “TUT is a people's university. We have a lot of students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, so we have sympathy to their financial situation. “However, the institution is dependent on its financial suitability on government grants and student fees. Those are the things that are being discussed with the central SRC at present. She concluded”

The fees must fall campaign is one of the protest that will go in the history books as a pinnacle of youth and student leadership. Students have a right to free education, whether our government can afford that it's a different story altogether. We applaud their 0% fees non-increment for 2016, but we urge them to continue the struggle for free education while preparing and writing for their exams. Wasting an academic year would be a loss of time invested for them. Oscar Pistorius is out and about and he probably thinks we forgot about him. The boks are back home after losing to the All Blacks.

Tshwane Choral Festival a success

Staff Reporter

The City of Tshwane, in collaboration with the Choral Music Association, hosted the second Meloding Ya Tshwane Choral Festival on 24 October. The festival was in the format of a music competition and was open to choirs in the City of Tshwane only. It was held at the main campus of the Tshwane University of Technology and aimed to highlight and celebrate the diverse cultural richness and vibrancy of Tshwane. The main objectives of the festival are to develop choral music in Tshwane, to ensure strong representation at all choral music competitions, and to enhance the profile of choral music in the city. The festival also aims to honour past and present choral music composers in Tshwane. Tshwane indeed has amazing talent: Harmonious, sweet melodies competed against each other during the festival. The member of the Mayoral Committee for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, Councillor Nozipho Tyobeka-Makeke, graced the event with her presence. She received a warm welcome and an ululating crowd greeted her introduction. She made her way to the adjudicators and took the podium for her speech, in which she said: "Let's celebrate and promote music. It defines us and our diversity. We applaud your leadership and through your vision and continued guidance, we believe that choral music in particular and the arts in general will thrive to greater heights. I encourage you to continue telling stories through music, arts and culture." As the competition continued, beautiful shiny trophies were placed on stage to encourage the participants. The higher the choir category, the better the sound, and everyone enjoyed the one-of-a-kind entertainment of the sweet melodies at Meloding ya Tshwane.

Keep it Simple: How to Write a One Page Business Plan

Words: Cassandra Visser

Lengthy business plans are a thing of the past and there are sound business principles for why. There was a time when business plans were anything from 75 to 100 pages but today 10 to 15 can be considered too long. If you're hungry for your piece of the business pie but don't exactly want to spend a couple months playing hit and miss with investors and potential customers then a one page business plan could be the answer you've been looking for. Being able to simplify your business concept is a useful skill to have and it was Alexander Osterwalder and Eric Reis who decided that we should stop taking the long way around when it comes to business plans and product development.

The New Business Model Canvas ApproachOsterwalder created a model consisting of nine building blocks, which once put together give you an overall picture of your strengths, weaknesses and how your business functions. It can be used in your business plan as well as assist you with strategy and innovation in the future. It consists of the following parts:

1. Customer Segments: Who are your mass and niche markets?2. Value Proposition: What are you offering and why are you different?3. Channels: Look at the phases your product goes through. This is everything from awareness and distribution to after-sales service.

4. Customer Relationships: How are you building relationships with customers and is it working?5. Revenue Streams: Look at what you are charging and if you could be charging more. How are you receiving your payments and does it contribute enough to overall revenue?6. Key Resources: What resources do you require to function? These can include physical, human, financial and intellectual.7. Key Activities: Ask yourself what activities need to take place in order to deliver on your value proposition?8. Key Partnerships: Write down who your key suppliers and partners are and how they contribute to your overall goals.

Cost Structure: Look at fixed and variable costs so that you can see what can be improved upon.

The term 'micro-jobbing' is a new one in the South African vernacular. It refers to a growing trend whereby anyone with a smart phone and an Internet connection is able to earn a few extra rand by doing basic little jobs, generally for large companies. The jobs available vary and include tasks such as completing a survey to visiting a store and reporting on the quality of service, or even taking photos of landmarks to prove they exist. Payments per task are typically low, but since the jobs generally take only moments to complete, earning potential is high. Payments can be collected at till points at major supermarkets, and can be accepted in cash, airtime, electricity or data. School leavers, students and graduates might find micro jobbing a useful first step into the world of work, as a way to begin to build a CV and gain work experience. In South Africa, currently, micro jobbing is most popular among ages 25 to 35, and interestingly, among full time employed professionals. Absolutely anyone with a smart phone can earn an income, and jobs are not exclusive to a particular demographic, age (although some platforms require you to be over the age of 18), race, gender, marital status, geographic location or education level. On the other hand, micro jobbing comes without the security of full time employment, they don't pay benefits and work opportunities fluctuate, which means no steady paycheck. Nonetheless, websites listing micro jobs available are on the rise, and offer a wide variety of different jobs to interested workers. Locally, a micro-jobbing service called Money for Jam (M4JAM) has

surpassed 85 000 monthly active users since launching in August 2014. The service provider accepts jobs from local organisations, turns them into tasks that can be executed in under ten minutes, and distributes them via its platform on WeChat. The South African site offers jobs as diverse as from helping navigation services to validate and create mapping data, to price-checking for organisations, and even helping ad agencies to test different versions of pre-flighted TV ads. Employers, or 'jobbers', can collect their earnings at Pick n Pay, Boxer and Shoprite Checkers stores.

Artist: MadonnaAlbum: Rebel HeartGenre: POPYear Of Release: 2015

For many years, Madonna avoided the Internet like gluten. But in December, the Internet decided to stop waiting for Madonna, and everything went wrong: Her music was stolen and leaked; her hasty, emotional responses on Instagram used terms like "rape" and "terrorism," provoking (you guessed it) Internet outrage. Her swift solution was to put six songs online immediately, with a promise that 13 more would follow in March. But some of those 13 new songs have turned what might have been a modern-day pop treasure into a diamond struggling to escape the rough. Rebel Heart is a long, passionate, self-referential meditation on losing love and finding purpose in chilling times. It's also a chance for the Queen of Pop to floss a bit and reflect on how she painstakingly carved a path others have happily twerked down in the years since her 1983 debut.

Movie: The Jakes are MissingCast: Mampho Brescia, Pop Jerrod, Mpho Sebeng, Jody Abrahams, Nomzamo Mbatha, Heidi Mollenttze, Nicole Bailey, Celeste Nutili, Dirk Stoltz, Zakeeya Patel, Craig Palm, Sokhulu Mthiyane, Abigail Kubeka, Darlington MichaelsDirector/s: Neal Sundstrom and Denny Y Mille

It's been a good year for the South African film industry. For the past few months there has been a constant stream of local films on the cinema line-up. And while I am really excited about the spike in local productions there have been some hits and misses. The Jakes are Missing is a good attempt at trying something a bit different. It's a romantic comedy with strong themes of family and community. Janice (Mampho Brescia) and Donald (Pop Jerrod) Banks have fallen out of love. Their music obsessed son Simon (Mpho Sebeng) ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses a murder. To escape wannabe gang leader Fred (Jody Abrahams) and he's awkward crew, the family is placed into the witness protection program. The city slickers find themselves out of their comfort zone in the quaint little town of Pumpkin Valley (yes, really). The town has some interesting characters: nosy neighbours (Celeste Nutili, Nicole Bailey, Heidi Mollentze) a suspicious town planner (Dirk Stoltz) the local reverend (Darlington Michaels), his wife (Abigail Kubeka) and their adoptive daughter (Nomzamo Mbatha) who Simon develops a crush on.

Artist: AWOLNATIONAlbum: RunGenre: RockYear Of Release: 2015

L.A.'s Awolnation broke out with their 2011 hit "Sail," a dark and stormy electro-rock power ballad on which singer Aaron Bruno succeeded in sliding the phrase "blame it on my ADD" into the pop consciousness. His ADD is still cooking on the band's latest album: Bruno is a studio impressionist whose songs flip from Cali-pop whimsy to lumpy dance rock to shout-y arena bombast as he drops chest-thumping lines like "I stand alone and curse at the sky." At their best, songs like "Dreamers" and "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)" hint at something approaching the Queen of EDM — a terrifyingly ambitious idea that even someone more talented than Bruno would have a tough time pulling off.

AUTHOR: SIPHIWO MAHALATITLE: AFRICAN DELIGHTSPUBLISHER: JACANA

African Delights is a unique literary journey through some critical moments in South African history. The journey begins in Sophiatown of the 1950s, one of the most definitive periods in South African urban culture. This partof the book is in dialogue and also pays tribute to Can Themba, once described by Lewis Nkosi as “the supreme intellectual tsotsi of them all.” The prose takes the reader to the emergency years of the eighties, where we are exposed to the painful rhythms of a society in distress through the eyes of a child. The transitional period of the nineties is reflected through the life of a young man, who has to confront the complexities of the new South Africa while carrying baggage of the old era. The realities of our society, after the first decade of our democracy, are interrogated in the last two sections of the book. The Truth Stories sparks a dialogue between characters and weaves together human stories that reflect some of the challenges faced by the present day society.

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Steve Komphela has written off suggestions that Tuesday's PSL match against Mpumalanga Black Aces is as good as won. Amakhosi overcame the same opponents in the quarter-final of the Telkom Knockout competition with a 2-1 win on Saturday and the sides will face off again, this time in the league, in midweek. Komphela admitted that he would like the game on Tuesday to go similarly to this weekend's match, in which goals from Camaldine Abraw and Erick Mathoho helped them advance to the semi-final. "I hope the game will be a repeat of today [Saturday]," Komphela told the club's website. "It will be another tough game. But that's how it is. We have accepted as a team that every match is like a cup final."

Sexwale backed for FIFA hotseat

The South African Football Association's National Executive Committee has given its full backing to Tokyo Sexwale as their candidate for the FIFA presidency. The former political prisoner confirmed his intention to run for the presidency and will come up against UEFA president Michel Platini, Prince Ali bin Hussein of Jordan, ex-Fifa official Jérôme Champagne and former Trinidad and Tobago international David Nakhid. "The brand of Fifa is severely damaged today following various scandals and other allegations that we are hearing about," Sexwale told reporters. "It needs to be restored. I will not disappoint you," he added. Following Sexwale's revelation that he would be running for the presidency, SAFA's NEC have moved quickly to pledge their support.
