“Abducted by friends, kidnapped for days, having both legs and a hand cut alive, screaming and or perhaps pleading not to be mur-dered, later the helpless body is set alight possibly to render identi-fication impossible.”

The whole thing was orchestrated with friends for days, weeks,

months or perhaps years, playing nice to the victim knowing that on this day she will be slashed and set alight alive. Such violent attacks must not be taken lightly, they should be viewed with extreme caution and every effort should be made to prevent their recurrence. What happens in someone’s head when you start orchestrating something of this nature? The thought of buying petrol, putting it in the car, organising pan-gas and sharp objects, getting enough people to help you and making sure that you are not going to get caught. Emma was found burnt with her legs and one

hand cut off. How cruel and heartless could that be when someone you trust or know does such a horrible thing, cutting your legs out while you are still alive, thereafter setting you alight and watch-ing while you burn to death without feeling any guilt. A tragic incident left both the Seloadi and Dlamini families stranded, devastated and wondering why such drama could happen to their families. They are left with unanswered questions of why a normal person can do such thing and pretend as if nothing bad has happened. This resulted in two cases of murder being reported in differ-ent police stations in Madibeng Munici-pality. Emma Refiloe Seloadi (19) was reported missing on the evening of the 6th of June 2015, few days before youth day. A team of family members of the missing person went all out to look for their loved one and Mothotlung SAPS was also informed. The men who was reported to have been with the last per-son seen with the continued on page 2

deceased was attacked and was badly assaulted by his friends, and the burnt body of Emma was subsequently found on 2015-06-10 at the nearby bushes in Mothotlung. Miky Dlamini and stu-dents at Eletsa Secondary School in Letlhabile Zone 5 are mourning the death of Boitumelo Dlamini (19) who was also torched alive by the alleged suspect, Tshimologo Cynthia Mosupi on the 18th of June 2015 at Klipgat. According to eyewitnesses, it is alleged that the grade 12 pupils had an argu-ment over a boyfriend at Klipgat and the suspect, Cynthia, decided to set Boitu-melo alight using petrol. How could the two similar incidents happen the same way, on the same month and to almost similar people?

According to what transpired on the first incident, Emma was last seen with her cousin while on their way to a nearby Pub at Mothotlung called Beef cake’s place. The two ladies were later joined by five males driving a green VW Golf and a white Honda Ballade while having some good time at the aforementioned pub. Furthermore, the police indicated that Emma was approached by one of the man who went with her outside to buy her some fried chips. Later on, the man left the lady outside the pub to attend some family issues at home, ac-cording to his statement. On Sunday the 7th June 2015 at about 19:15, a missing

person’s report was done at Mothotlung SAPS. Although they were keeping posted telephonically, the last person who was seen with the deceased alleged that he went home to recharge his cell-phone. The following day the cousin to the deceased went to the guy who was last seen with the deceased to look for her and could not find her. “The body was positively identified by the father of the deceased. A case of assault with intention to cause grievous bodily harm was opened at Mothotlung SAPS, and four suspects were arrested and have since appeared before Ga-Rankuwa magistrate’s court on the 2015-06-12.” “The four suspects including the victim of assault might be linked to the mur-der of the 19 years old female, as far as investigations are concerned.” said Sergeant Tumi Menyatso, South Afri-can Police Services, Mmakau Cluster Corporate Communication, North West Province. On the 20th of June 2015, Emma Refiloe Seloadi was laid to rest at the Brits Cemetery.

The service took place at Mothutlung community hall. Amongst those who attended the event was Madibeng Chief Whip Simon Klaas, SAPS, Safe

place White Door Ambassador Pastor Margaret Kanyane, Solo Riders Pitori MCC, Councillor ward 4 Mrs. Rebecca Morudu and Amandasig Secondary School. Solo Riders Pitori MCC from Pretoria emphasized that they felt that at a time like this they ought to come and pay their last respects. Even though they did not know the Seloadi family that much but they said that nobody deserves to die brutally like that. First

Princess Miss Akasia Lerato Molefe gave advice to the youth that they

should look out for each other and choose friends wisely. “What hap-pened is a serious tragedy and we are very much sad about what happened and hope to learn from it.” she said. LCR President at Amandasig Secondary School Neo Malefahlo said Emma was always friendly, a cheerful person who liked order in the classroom. “Her death came as a shock to all of us and we have planned to come up with programmes that will help the rest of us to heal. She said. Ward Councillor Mrs. Rebecca Morudu and also a member of the ANC

Women’s League said, “It is tragic for a girl in South Africa to die like that. We only hear about such things on television but to see them happening in your neighbourhood is really painful.”“The Freedom Charter states clearly that everybody has a right to live, nobody has a right to kill another, it is against the law.” said ward councillor.

Emma’s uncle, Mr. Fanie Seloadi said that what happened to Emma cannot be described. “It is very painful to bury a family member who died in this man-ner. We as the family have put our faith in God. And only He knows why did Emma had to die like that.” “We had misunderstanding with Mothut-lung Police station which is why the case is being handled by the Klipgat and Potchefstroom Police services. The time we realised that Emma was missing we went to report the case at Mothutlung Police Station but we were told by the police that Emma was a slut

and they cannot help us at all.”“After Mothutlung and other communities intervened, they managed to make

A land which was turned into Ap-ostolic Church territory has now been transformed into a residen-tial area for the community of Oukasie. Many members of the community have been waiting for this day to arrive so that they too can pick their sites and create their own homes.

On the 15th of June 2015, Oukasie community members elected their

own delegates who will represent and assist them during the times of resi-dential sites allocations. The delegates, mainly from the Siyatlhala section, helped register individuals for sites. The excited community members never stopped acknowl-edging what had happened and re-garded it as one of the great successes the area has ever achieved. The section is yet to be given a suitable name by the community. Some community mem-bers maintain that if those Apostolic Churches can be allowed to occupy

the land without anybody from the government complaining and without being expected to pay anything to the Municipality, then surely the com-munity should be allowed to occupy the land without any questions being asked. They stated that one of the aims for occupying the land was to try and control the illegal influx. Fur-thermore, they expect the municipality to soon provide the necessary services such as water, electricity and of course RDP houses. Those whose names were registered have the opportunity to have their own properties and the 21 June

2015, is the date set for the alloca-tions of the sites after the entire process of registration has been completed. On the 21st of June 2015 community members of Oukasie felt delighted when

awarded a piece of land to make their homes. At least 40 residents received each a site to create and build a home. Others were promised to wait for one week while still busy allocating them a space.

Community members took to the streets after a disagree-ment between the Lonmin Management, Bapo Ba Mogale tribal authority and the commu-nity members over the said equitable shares and the plans to create more jobs for them.

According to members of the public, they had previously engaged with

the mine regarding employment and the royalties. They further said that during the meeting the mine manage-ment promised the community to look into the matter and respond within seven working days. On the 12th of June 2015, the community of Bapong held another meeting to check whether there was any reply by the mine. After seeing that the report was not available, they decided to engage in a protest and approximately five (5) vehicles burned down in the process. The community accuses their tribal leader, Letlhogonolo Nthontho, at the tribal council of let-ting them down by accepting 2% of their royalties instead of 26% which were supposed to have been given to the community. It is alleged that there is maladministration in the royal house, miss-communication between the mine

and the royal house or maybe some-one from the royal house was given a bribe to accept the 2% instead of the promised percentage? The community has not been told the truth about the royalties given to them by the mine, therefore they have indicated that if no amicable solution is found by the mine they will seize the mining licence and stop Lonmin from operating. At the time of going to press, there was no reply from the Lonmin mine and the tribal council at Bapo Ba Mogale tribal authority.

Comments on the General Issues in Madibeng

Please keep on sending those comments to malatsi@madibengtimes.co.za or sms to David Malatsi – 078 140 7478. If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner - Nelson Mandela!

Hallo sir, I am staying at Maboloka village, my complain is about the noise we hear everyday. There is a house next door that the owner does not feel any pity about our feelings. He always turn the radio or his powerful sound system loud early in the morning around 5am. You will be wakened up by the loud noise playing non-stop. We cannot take it anymore. Please do something or find him a job so that we can rest, he play all sorts of music and I think his house is full of Orlando Pirates discs. Please help us # concerns.

Seriously we cannot afford to pay R18 taxi fare from or to Maboloka to Brits. I think what the taxi association is doing in Maboloka to its community is unfair and need a serious attention. Taxis before they charged R12 suddenly the price moved to R15 and today is R18 now tomorrow how much will it be? I don't care whether the taxi owners they fight and shoot each other but they must not take us for a ride. Our area has a high number of unemployed people some goes to town (Brits) in a quest for employment so how are they going to afford to pay such money while in need for more money? Stop being hypocrite# My name.

Hall Mr. Malatsi. My complain is about the taxi from our rank to Letlhabile clinic, the taxi do not want to take us straight to the clinic, they drop us at Letlhabile complex and we must catch another one and pay more money. Imagine elderly people using the taxi and had to walk to the clinic after they have been dropped off from the complex. Why can't they charge at least R15 so that they can be able to travel from the rank to Letlhabibile clinic? Worried member of the public.

The killing of those two kids came as a surprise to us. It happened same month, same torcher or incident happening on girls, both of them students grade 12, same age (19 years) and very good looking girls. I do not believe in witchcraft or evil things. This case has so many things to tell and evil is also part of what happened. There are many unfinished businesses to tell about the incident. Our municipality of Madibeng needs to do something about it to prevent it from happening again. If they do not do anything, we might experience more and more of what happened. Rest in peace my dearests.#

Madibeng Community will never stop protesting and not just protesting but engaging in community protests being violent protests when seeking services, it can be services from the government, mines or anywhere. What the government needs to do is to prioritise the public before stealing their money so that everybody can be satisfied. Everbody does mistakes but we cannot do mistakes everyday and expect people to forgive you everyday. One day you will be stoned, hanged or jailed if you persist on corruption.#

I was touched by the death of my brother 'Fatafata', my brother may your soul rest in peace. The man was allegedly stabbed and killed by his girlfriend on apparently on Sunday the 21st of June 2015. Most probably many people are mourning the death of him. He was really a good guy we will miss him very much.# mourning friend.

mong Community Hall on Tuesday (16 June 2015) to commemorate the day.The rally was attended by members of the league from all four regions in the province and youth league lead-ers from neighbouring provinces such as Limpopo, Free State, Mpumalanga and Gauteng. When addressing the hall that was packed to capacity, the pro-vincial secretary Sipho Dial said Collen Mokone Maine remains the only can-didate equal to the task of restoring the ANC Youth League. “We have discussed this position with the league structures and they said Maine’s credentials speak volumes and his strong calibre as well as his strength to deal with tasks at hand, place him as the suitable candidate for the top position in the league”, said Dial. Collen Maine who is the current chairperson of the league has served in different positions in political move-ments and in government.

- He led the branch of the ANCYL in the then ward 13, now ward 26 of the Taung Sub-Region- He served as the member and leader of COSAS as Deputy Secretary in Schweizer-Reinecke Region

- Member of the Youth League since 1996- Regional Organizer of ANCYL in the then Bophirima, now the Dr Ruth Segomot-si Mompati Region from 2002 till 2007- Served as Youth League PEC member – Deputy Chair-person in 2008- He also served as the NCOP member in 2009- In 2013 he became MEC for Social Development till 2014.- He is currently the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlements

The Provincial Chairperson Col-len Maine has accepted the call by the league members. “Youth League members have chosen me to represent their aspirations as young people in this province by becoming the President of the league. As the member of the Youth League in good standing I have no choice but to lead the league’s masses in restoring the confidence of young people in this organization. This is the organization that should champion their interests and strongly deal with chal-lenges that young people face, especially the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality”, said Cde. Collen Maine. The league is to hold different events across the province to continue to communicate their position to different branches and lobby support from its counterparts in other provinces across the country.

Two suspects aged 34 and 43 have appeared in Brits Magistrates Court on 22 June 2015 on Un-lawful Possession of Explosives following the information that the police had about the arrested suspects.

The information that was supplied to the police revealed that the arrested

suspects were on their way to exchange the explosives for money at Moderspruit in Mooinooi, the police pursued the information and successfully managed to apprehend the suspects in possession of the explosives. One of the arrested suspects is a Mozambican National and he is also an employee of one of the mines in Bapong area. All suspects have been remanded in custody and they will appear again in Brits Magistrates Court on 03 July 2015. Investigation continues.

On the other hand, a suspect aged 30 was arrested on Friday 19 June 2015 in Hartbeespoortdam dam near the dam by Hartbeespoortdam Police. The in-cident took place at about 23:55 where the police got a tip off from one of the community members whoalleged that there were two suspects plotting to commit housebreaking at Peacan Wood Estate on the same day

of the arrest. Therefore the police together with the patrolling security of the area managed to trace the suspects who were cruising by boat (Canoe). The suspects after realising that they were followed by the police, they attempted to sail faster to avoid the arrest but they could not manage to control the boat and fell inside the dam, one suspect tried to swim to the bank of the dam but failed and got arrested by the police while the other suspect vanished inside the water until he was found drowned on Monday 22 June 2015 at around 11:00 by Hartbeespoortdam Police Divers.

The unknown suspect (drowned) was taken to Brits Government Mortuary for post-mortem and at this stage it is still not clear what could have been the cause to the death of the suspect (the deceased was found in possession of a sword and cell phone when he was retrieved from the water). The other suspect appeared in Brits Magistrates Court for having been in possession of housebreaking implements because when he was arrested he had 2 Crow bars and panga in his possession. Inves-tigation continues. Media statement by Mpeile Talane (WARRANT Officer) Corporate Communication South Afri-can Police Service Brits.

arrests and by so saying we as the fam-ily are very much disappointed in our police services and hope that justice takes its course and those perpetra-tors are prosecuted.” said the uncle. Fanie Seloadi added that the family has decided to wrap the inside of the grave with an animal skin and also cover the coffin with another skin. One of the family members put a plastic full of the ashes of Emma that they took from where Emma was burned. At the time of going to press, Mothutlung Police Station was still closed since the 14th of June 2015 by community members for further investigations. It is al-leged that a jealous ex-lover of Boitu-melo Dlamini’s boyfriend, Tshimologo Cynthia Mosupi poured petrol over Boitumelo Dlamini and set her alight on Thursday on the 18th of June 2015 at Klipgat. Boitumelo from Letlhabile, North West was in love with a man who had fathered a child with another woman. Although the man had ended the relationship with the mother of his child, the woman would not let go. Boi-tumelo was abducted, allegedly by the jealous woman and three accomplices. Some were wearing school uniforms in disguise. Boitumelo was taken to the bush at Klipgat near Mabopane, where she was set alight. She tried to run away but stumbled, fell to the ground and burnt to death. On top of the fact that Cynthia burned Boitumelo, she acted irresponsibly and apparently also caught fire and had to be taken to hospital. She was later discharged and is now arrested for her evil deeds. “I can’t believe that

my daughter is no more,” Miky Dlamini (35) told Madibeng Times. She said she went to look for Boitumelo on Thurs-day afternoon when she didn’t come home from school as usual. “I was with a friend of hers when she got an SMS saying Boitumelo had been taken away from school by the ex-girlfriend.” “I rushed to the police station and found out somebody had already alerted the cops. “We went with the police to the scene at Klipgat. I could see Boitu-melo’s scarf and beany and I knew something bad had happened.” “I could not believe it when I saw her badly burnt body. My daughter lived in fear of that ex-girlfriend. Many times she told Boitumelo to leave her child’s father alone or else she would do something bad to her.” “I took Boitumelo to live with my parents in Maboloka but the woman followed her.” concluded the mother. Boitumelo will be laid to rest on Saturday the 27th of June 2015. The suspect and the accomplices have been arrested for the abduction and murder of Boitumelo. They appeared in the Brits Magistrate’s court on the 22 June 2015.

Mvelo Ngoma and Norman Tharaka from Amandasig Secondary School where Emma attended school could not hold their tears when the coffin was lowered.

Galaxy Grill and Galaxy Bingo hosted the Jay and Lianie May concert on Saturday 20 June at Brits Mall. It turned out to be very successful.

The afternoon started withMarzanne opening the stage for

Lianie. Marzanne is a young upco-ming Afrikaans singer with very good stage performance and entertained the crowd with her sharp observations as a member in the crowd said “loadshed-ding might kick in now,” and she re-plied firmly that “it is her turn first…”

Galaxy Bingo entertained the crowd with the host doing lucky draws with prizes ranging from R100 to R2000. The spectators were thrilled with suspense and enjoyed the prizes. Lianie May started in time with her performance. The weather was warm and pleasant with a slight chill in the afternoon. Lianie performed her great hits like: “Jy soen my nie meer nie” en “Bel, bel, bel… She enter-tained the crowd for over an hour and is very good in creating a personal interaction with the crowd. We thank her very much for her performance. In the meantime Jay was behind the scenes taking photographs with his devoted fans. The Brits fans were very

patient and organized themselves to take photos in turns and Jay was more than willing to sign each and every-one’s souvenirs. Jay joined Lianie on stage to perform there very popular duets which are in there album Bon-nie & Clyde. They intend to release a new album very soon. Jay continued the afternoon performing and brought on stage a chorus of his fans and they sang all together. The famous song “Superman, Batman, Spiderman” was sung with enthusiasm.

Poor water services seem to have been canonized in Madibeng Local

Municipality since 2002 when munici-palities committed to providing piped water in dwellings from 4484 in 2002 by 100% in 2010 to 8968, and piped water on site from 3031 to 6062, neighbors’ tap and public taps from 296 to 592, water supplies by water tankers to com-munities out of reach or outside the water grid from 69 to 138. There are, however a number of privations for most municipalities including Madibeng Local Municipality in meeting these targets. Inventively, the local municipal-ity has failed to do so due to the large proportion of deprived poor communi-ties in the rural areas which are depend-ent on the “Indigent Grant” system, the volatility of the cross-subsidization function. Inferior financial manage-ment is however not the main reason for failure to provide water services to the beneficiaries . It is obviated by the fact that there are three main sources of funding to cover the costs for water sup-ply services in a municipality.

These are equitable share (which is meant to cover the operations and maintenance cost of providing free basic water), the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) (for capital development) and revenue from water tariffs (for retail and bulk). One can easily without put-ting the numbers together qualify that there are sources of funding. Dwelling deeper into the ability of Madibeng to provide water services, it became notice-able that one leg of the tripod in the financing was broken i.e. the revenue from the tariffs, attributed to by the indi-gent population. This is however the ending to the analysis as there depend-encies in the trilogy. The amount a mu-nicipality receives for its equitable share

depends on the number of registered indigents in that municipality’s juris-diction. In many rural municipalities, limited revenue is generated from water tariffs, so they become highly depend-ent on equitable share allocations. The equitable share allocation, however, depends on the municipality’s ability to count the number of indigents in their areas. These names are entered into a detailed register, which needs to be up-dated regularly. Maintaining the regis-ter is a demanding task and the number of indigent people in a municipality is often significantly underestimated. This makes for further problems with budget-ting. Could this be the fourth leg of the tripod and can it be solved by simple system. Prior to the the completion of the study, it was an unpretentious, “yes”. This was predispositioned by the im-portance of cost recovery of at least the recurrent operation and maintenance costs of water services through direct user charges. If applied extensively, cost recovery could free up scarce budget-ary resources for capital expenditure, allowing the extension of basic services to all South African households, which is a key objective of the government’s priority plans.

Madibeng municipality, like many countrified municipalities, has to in-crease revenue generation in order to not increasingly depend on grants for funding its operating costs. This state of dependency coupled with under-pricing of services and high levels of uncollect-able debts are associated with non-enterprising municipal. Even though, the communities might not be 100% indigents, those that could afford to buy basic services, are being classified as indigent due to the area being classified as indigent. It is however noted that even though these classification system needs to be carefully reviewed for long-term sustainability; the objectives of this study as summarized in this paper is not to conduct a detailed analysis of the indigent classification system. The question is how would the municipalities

meet the service provision targets with limited resources? Is the indigent grant sustainable to meet the performance target? In responding to the question, this study examined the five factors contributing to sustainable provision of basic services in Madibeng munici-pality with an aim to support decision making at the local sphere of govern-ment to inform policy development at the provincial and national sphere of the South African government. The researcher used an Integrated Model for Sustainable Equitable Water Provision in Poor Rural as a tool assess the entity’s ability to provide sustainable water services. The researched assessed the six elements as key in delivering sustain-able water provisioning in Madibeng. These elements are financial, policy and institutional stability, community willingness to contribute, environmental attributes, information systems manage-ment and asset management (project sustainability).

In the researcher’s opinion, financial sustainability is the foundation for sustaining water services. If water assets are to be sustainable, the on-going costs of operating and maintaining them need to be met. It would be not ideal to raise the initial infrastructure capital with focus on maintaining these future demands of the assets. Although the government of South Africa has made an effort to enhance financial sustain-ability of municipalities through the Equitable Grant System, this system in itself has to be enhanced as it was established to ensure the provision of minimum, basic services and not the long term sustainability and upgrad-ing of these services. The provision of these services to rural communities has to be cross-subsidized as these commu-nities either depend on the social grant or have low level salaries. This cross-subsidization, is in itself problematic as it is not sustainable. The efficacy of the enterprising municipality stems from a community willingness to participate, account and to sustain. In this regard

a com-munity is singled out to be a sixth leg as it holds the mu-nicipality account-able. The general premise is that it would not be easy to hold some-one accountable if one is dependent. Even though the researcher emphasized that the resilience of the community is dependent on the level of knowledge and understanding of the system, in order to drive the accountability levels, it is the role of municipality’s to educate the community on its responsibilities and accountabilities. In concluding, it has become prevalent that the com-munity, does not take initiative to report on water problems. Even if the mu-nicipality communicates policy changes on billing and revenue collection, the communities are not willing to pay out-standing bills and for monthly usages. The officials agree that communities are not trained in water conservation and accountability processes. It should be noted that community accountability is highly dependent on the availability of credible knowledge and informa-tion, which is shared timeously with the community. It should also be noted that without the information, the com-munity would not be in the position to participate and to account to their commitments. It should also be noted that in poor rural areas, accountability goes beyond financial accountability as it takes the form of taking active steps towards reporting on the status of infra-structure and maintenance issues, which is lacking. The Madibeng accepted the limitations of servicing people in the scattered rural settlements. There is an indication that the quality of services are not at expected levels as there is no effective maintenance of the water infrastructure systems.

Finding the sixth leg of the equation to a sustainable serviceprovision for an enterprising Madibeng Local Municipality

Johannes ‘Skhokho’ Modisakeng on the 26th of May 2015 laid a charge of common assault with the Brits Police Station after he was attacked by a member of the community known as Tamola.

According to reports, the incident happened after a small gathering

was organised by both Damonsville and Oukasie residents at the Water Purifi-cation Plant in Brits in an attempt to remove the ANC Cluster Coordinator and Oukasie School Project CLO as well as the Steering Committee mem-ber from their positions. Both com-munities indicated that it was unfair and unjust for members of the African National Congress (ANC) to always oc-cupy high positions within the munici-pality to the exclusion of other potential leaders who are not necessarily ANC members. The major conflict ema-nates from the fact that the incumbents in question are holding permanent and political positions, (ANC Cluster Coordinator and working at Bojanala District Municipality and the other one, School Project CLO and Chairperson

for the ANC Branch seeking to become Purification Plant Steering commit-tee member.) It is alleged that during the demonstration at the Purification Plant some of the community members who were present at the Purification Plant were not impressed with the way Skhokho was conducting the demon-stration. After the two groups were separated, a group of people comprised of among others, the Project CLO and the other ANC members, includ-ing community members, approached Skhokho and demanded that he lend them a Loudhailer so that they could use it to call the public for a meeting.However, Skhokho refused to lend them the Loudhailer saying that the Loud-hailer did not belong to the ANC and that it belonged to certain members of the community who donated money for its purchase. A certain member of the community who is not even a card carrying member of the ANC stood up and attacked Skhokho in full view of the community members who were present.

WHOLESALE TO THE PUBLICWHOLESALE TO THE PUBLIC

Supermarket Opens 25 June 2015

25 June 20158

On the 16th of June 2015, the South African Civic Organization (SANCO) together with the com-munity of Damonsville in Brits hosted the memorial lecture on the life of the late comrade Enock Seimela.

The day was dedicated to the re-membrance of the tragedy of

2014, where a number of comrades lost their lives amidst service delivery protests. The victims included, among others, Bro Mike, Mme Lerato, Jaconea Rabuke and Enock Seimela. Enock was shot by the police while trying to medi-ate between the community and the police during a march from Mothutlung to the Municipality’s premises.

SANCO extends its sincere gratitudes to the Seimela family for allowing their son to participate in the march. Enock was shot by the police with his hands up in the air attempting to stop the protest. He died in hospital a few days after the shooting. His life continues to inspire new generations of South Africans, a glittering example of a courageous revo-lutionary leader of his people, personi-fying the noblest principles and finest traditions of our liberation and socialist movement. Debra Mashego was given the orders to light the candle against xenophobia, for fallen comrades, for the bullets that killed the fellow comrades while striking for service delivery, for those who are affected and infected by HIV and AIDS and remembering those who passed away. SANCO Chairperson of the branch Pasture Marema said that the organization is against corrup-tion and they are determined to fight

corruption in any way possible. “We are fighting corruption in Madibeng and we are also against drugs that destroy us especially our youth.” “SANCO wants to know who from Madibeng Munici-pality gave instructions to the police to shoot those innocent protesters; Enock was shot because instructions were given. In 2016 we are going to vote ANC, the political party is transparent but someone inside the ANC is corrupt not the ANC.”

“Everything in the ANC is clear, some-one inside the ANC is manipulating the system and we as the community must stop voting for corrupt councillors by voting for proper representatives. Better service to our community is our priority.” said Chairperson Marema. The chairperson applauded the work done by all the sponsors including a well-known businessman, Mr. Solly Mashaba who supported the event by providing food. Mr. Mashaba said that when he was approached by SANCO chairperson with regard to sponsor-ship, he could not hesitate but give a helping hand. Chairperson of SANCO at Ngaka Modiri Molema, Khumalo Molefe said that as SANCO they were very much concerned because people were killed in Marikana and various other places by the police. In his speech he made mention of, inter-alia, the fol-lowing victims: Mmuse, Phala, Enock, Mike, Tatane. “Do we have police to protect us or syndicates? No one was ar-rested for that matter, not even a police officer. Members of SANCO must have membership of the ANC so that we can have the answers to all those questions and concerns and are be able to identify quality councillors.” “We want a radical

SANCO but a constructive and reason-able radical. SANCO is silent regard-ing high rates of electricity, water, tax, e-tolls but this silence will soon change into constructive noise .” said Chairper-son Molefe. The Provincial Secretary Packet Seaketso emphasized that in the very same hall it is where Enock Seimela was elected as Chairperson in Damonsville. “We must meet with the General of the police to solicit an expla-nation from him regarding the police who shot Enock.”

“We need to exert pressure on the police to tell us who killed Mmuso Phala, we must tell Ria Phiyega that enough is enough. We are very much disap-pointed to witness that the community in Damonsville is divided into two groups.” “As SANCO we are not going to tolerate what other leaders are doing in the area. I understand that there is this so-called-leader who intentionally divides this community into two groups. He recently organised a party just next door while the community was com-memorating the loss of fellow leaders.” said Provincial Secretary Seaketso.

Mr. Seaketso further said that the organization wants to mobalise and expose RDP houses that were given to the wrong people. An RDP house in Letlhabile was converted into a mortu-ary by a beneficiary and the scandal in Hartbeespoort dam over a land between the farmer and the community must be attended attentively. Lemmy Seimela regarded his brother, Enock as some-one with integrity, helpful and always advising the community. “He was a first born who was always into politics even back home in Limpopop. We are still

struggling to come to terms with the fact that he is no more.” “There is nothing that we received from the government; we are now hoping to see justice takeits course. My brother has left behind three boys who will always miss him.” said Lemmy.

It was a mission accomplished when the two ventures, Discov-ery and Rise Again Youth Or-ganization and Itsoseng Youth Community Projects joined together to form the Educational Youth Centre.

The two organizations offer the community support activities

aimed at older children and adoles-cents. Depending upon the culture of the community, different services and institutions may exist for this purpose. On the 15th of June 2015, they identified a location somewhere in a section called Phase 3 at Ouka-sie. The area was known to many as Old Phase 3 sports ground where the RDP housing project site office used to be situated. According to the Line Manager Volunteer in the Love Life and a founder of the Discovery and Rise Again Youth Organization Mr. Tshepo Kwele, they have identified an area for youth centre and they further want offices in different organizations to run different programs to inspire and develop the youth.

“Our aim is to remove young peo-ple from the streets and introduce them to a healthy way by playing sport, health promotions, life skills and entrepreneurship. At the mo-ment we are still mobilizing for some funds and resources.” said Mr. Kwele. Collen Sethe, Chairperson at Itsoseng

Youth Community Projects said that his organization has been in exist-ence for over five (5) years now. It has participated in the 2010 World Cup Awareness at Oukasie sports ground, HIV and AIDS awareness campaigns, entrepreneurship briefing sessions, fun run and fun walks for 16 days of activ-ism. “We have planned to have sports council entrepreneurship combination centre, further participate in educa-tion, library for mathematics, mentor-ship, art and culture.” “Our organiza-tion has a registration number – NPO 081/321, we have planned to engage with different NGO’s, community groups in the area and government institutions. We believe that the youth will get more opportunities to express their talents through competitions.”

“At the moment we are still mobilizing for some funds and resources, every individual, companies, organizations, businesses and the government who can assist can do so by calling the fol-lowing numbers - Collen 0611731607, Tshepo 0728303333 or Matlhatsi 0760758367.” said Mr. Sethe. Mmo-lutsi Matlhatsi a community member and President at Botlhabelo High School’s Rabican Different Species said that the centre will reduce the addictions and abuse among those vulnerable youth in Oukasie.

“As the youth we are the ones who can help build others goals through advice and education that we can provide

to others. We strongly ask parents to support us in our endeavours. Our youth today do not have suitable facili-ties.”“We do not have recreational parks and sports facilities that can keep us busy, we see lots and lots of teen-age pregnancy in our society, what is very important is for us to achieve our dreams and goals. I was trying to open a youth company and this centre will help me achieve that goal.” said Matlhatsi. Paballo Baloi, who com-pleted her matric in 2013 at Botlha-belo High School in Oukasie said that she liked acting very much and the centre will help join together every-body who is into acting. “Youth must go to school, the project will help kids

to go to school.” concluded Paballo Baloi.

If we cannot apply proper main-tenance to them. We definitely do not need palisade fencing as tall as this one. Our Brits Water Care Works facility has now turned into being a danger to the society with palisade fencing broken down and a terrible smelling coming out of the area.

What would happen if an animal or human was to walk right into

the trap and get swallowed by the open big trench at the care works? Who is responsible for the maintenance of the palisade fencing? Is it the Local or Provincial Government. Why spent millions of rands on a 3 metre palisade fencing instead of 1.5 metre or at most 2 metre fencing? Could this be another ‘tenderpreneurship’ that Madibeng is known for? What is it that is so impor-tant to protect that someone can steal. Can someone steal – that is inside the Water Care Works? What is Madibeng Municipality doing when such things are not being taken care of ? Should

we as the public just keep quiet when we notice our municipal officials and councillors being forgetful of many im-portant things in our community? Not even a vulture or a fly would want to fly past the area or feed on what is available in the area. The smell is so disturbing that you can even vomit when passing close by. Our municipal officials and councillors are good at what they are good at. Hosting big fancy parties for officials and politicians, having unneces-sary expenditures on travellings, staying in fancy accommodations, overcharged events, expensive and useless caterings and having getaways in places such as Morula Sun and other fancy Casinos. Our municipality must start acting responsibly towards the public and take full account of all the challenges being experienced in the area. The Brits Wa-ter Care Works is supposed to be clean and every attempt should be made to ensure it does not cause an offensive odour. Fencing must be constantly monitored and all the risks minimised so that everybody, including animals,

can be safe. What has happened at the Brits Water Care Works situated at the Thabazimbi road just outside Brits CBD is unbearable and a total humili-ation to residents of Madibeng. Our municipality has left the place unattended and the nearby residents are strug-gling to cope with the terrible smell coming from the area. Now the three metre palisade fencing that was erected around the care works; the fencing that has cost millions of rands is now collapsing and posing a risk to the population and the animals around. The main question is “Is our municipality going to be freed from these corrupt politicians and officials that occupy powerful positions in the council? Our municipality is allocated billions of rands every year for budget-

ary purposes but very little in terms of delivery can be shown. In spite of the huge amount of money the municipality receives from the National Treasury, the Madibeng politicians and officials still demand more money to use for service delivery. Building palisade fencing worth millions of rands and then cashing up afterwards is unacceptable. Instead, our municipality should create real jobs for the public and avoid wasting funds on unfruitful jobs costing millions of rands such as the collapsing palisade fencing.

R1.5 billion disappeared from the municipal coffers within a blink of an eye and no one has been held accountable for the vanishing of the cash.

Our councillors, officials and politi-cal vehicles using the basement for

parking carry the cash from the boxes in the boot of their vehicles. Who is “Mr. Cash”? Do we still have “Mr. Cash” in Madibeng? Can someone tell us what is going on at our municipality because it is alleged that the Communication Department has no answers to all the challenges within our municipality. What is the North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo saying about the day-to-day running of Madibeng Municipal-ity? The current Municipal Manager, Monde Juda was previously suspended

twice, but is back on the job despite rec-ommendations from a government task team that he must face criminal charges.It is further alleged that Philemon Map-ulane denied charges of corruption and bribery in a 2009 ANC report, defen-ding himself that the charges repre-sented political conspiracy against him. Is Mapulane still giving orders at the council? Only the municipal manager, Monde Juda, has the answer to that question.

Now our municipality is owingR1.5 billion that went missingrecently. It is now in the best inte-rest of Madibeng as a whole, for the Democratic Alliance to produce proof documentation in the form of invoices and all the reports of expenditures and let the culprits be prosecuted. Last

year (2014) Madibeng experienced a number of protests whereby four people in Mothutlung were shot dead by the police. Those people died fighting for basic human rights while others were killed trying to stop the protesting com-munity members. Imagine a pensioner expected to spend more than half her monthly pension on water. Paying more than R800-00 for water by pensioners is a total insult in what we call a new democracy.

Our leaders today do as they please, imagine when we have such water and electricity crisis in the municipality and our Executive Mayor throws a big fancy party worth millions. Our leadership has this tendency that everytime a pro-ject has been awarded, every councillor must get a cut of the project. In 2014

a report was handed to the Scorpions containing 26 cases of corruption but nothing happened with regard to the report. A certain group in the munici-pality is playing a game of enriching themselves by receiving huge kickbacks.There is a list of birthdays at the council that is used to identify those municipal officials and politicians for their birth-day celebrations so that someone can therefore benefit out of the money al-located for the fancy parties.

For years Madibeng has always been known for its ‘tenderpreneurship’ lean-ings, the tenderpreneurs have drained the coffers through large, overpriced infrastructure projects, some are left in-complete while others are sub-standard. It is alleged that the Mayor, Ms. Mothi-be, spent R6000-00 on a birthday cake.

According to the Democratic Al-liance news report, the biggest test for any emerging democracy comes when the “party of libera-tion” faces electoral defeat. Some countries like Zimbabwe have repeatedly failed that test. Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF has done what-ever it takes to rig every election to stay in power.

Others, like Zambia, have changed governments several times, rela-

tively peacefully, through the ballot box. Unfortunately, failed transitions to democracy on our continent have out-numbered the successes. Which list will South Africa join? One of the greatest challenges facing the Democratic Alli-ance in Madibeng is the battle against corruption and maladministration. They need to bring an end to what is happening in the municipality by expos-ing the corrupt officials and politicians who exploit the situation by stealing from the public funds.

The councillors need to stop covering up for one another as well as lying to the public. If only the DA could put more effort in dealing with corruption and work together with the security agency,

the corrupt officials would have no where to hide and this would result in a massive reduction of corruption within our municipality.

The ANC councillors must be held responsible for the R1.5 billion mis-sing; money cannot just vanish from the municipal coffers without the knowledge of the officers in charge of finances. The disappearance of the cash has got something to do with the councillors and the finance department. Till now, I have been confident that we would be counted among the successes. In fact, the ANC at one stage was removed from a seat of power through the ballot box. This happened in Cape Town in 2006, when the DA won 42% of the votes and managed to put together a fragile seven-party governing coalition.

The experience of DA government was sufficiently positive to result in an outright victory for the DA (51.5% compared to the ANC’s 31.6%) in the 2009 provincial elections. By 2011 the DA governed 29 local authorities in four provinces (some in coalitions). Last year’s general election gave the ANC the fright of its life, because the result showed how far the DA’s potential

extended beyond the Western Cape, into the heartland of South Africa’s economy. In fact, for the first time, the ANC fell below 50% of the vote in both Nelson Mandela Metro (Port Elizabeth) and Tshwane (Pretoria).

In Johannesburg, the ANC managed just 52.3% of the votes and emerged looking distinctly vulnerable. It would be naïve to expect the ANC to be com-placent at the prospect of further losses in the 2016 local government elections, now just over a year away. It is worth recalling how the ANC responded to its Cape Town defeat. Convinced that the voters had erred in electing opposi-tion parties, the ANC tried repeatedly, and often illegally, to bring down the DA coalition. Eventually the Courts put an end to the ANC’s illegal “coup” attempts. After its defeat in Cape Town and the Western Cape, the ANC turned to the unbridled use of the “race card” to prevent any more DA victories. Its crude strategy is to divide people on the basis of race, by distorting every event and issue to convince voters that the DA is “for whites” and that the ANC is “for blacks” (broadly defined). As in all parts of the world, this guttural appeal to ethnic nationalism has found traction.

But the ANC’s “divide-and-rule” strat-egy is losing impact. This is partly the result of the “power of example” where the DA is in government. We are able to expose the ANC’s lie that the DA would “bring back apartheid” or “take away people’s grants and pensions” if we won elections. In fact, more and more people are realising that the result of a DA election victory is more effective service delivery, in the interests of the poor.So the ANC has to change gear if it wishes to implement its “win at all cost” strategy in 2016.

During the past few weeks, three deeply disturbing trends have emerged. These are:The manipulation of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) The manipulation of municipal boundaries, and The diversion of state funds for the ANC’s campaign. Firstly, the IEC: In the 20 years of our democracy, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has been a State Institution that most people trusted to manage elections freely and fairly.

It was an unbelievable outburst by the community of Oukasie when they attacked the Apostolic Churches seen on the outskirts of the area. This happened after a gruesome discovery of the bod-ies of two kids who allegedly drowned at Thatch Haven Lodge less than a month ago.

On the 14th of June 2015 the furi-ous community members went

around the area burning everything that was seen on the sites of all the churches including the crosses made out of wood and cloths and the colourful cloths covering the surroundings of all the churches. Accompanied by the two Brits SAPS vehicles, the community ac-cused the churches of using witchcraft, casting evil spells on the community, causing the continuous disappearance of school kids and also occupying the land illegally.

Some of the church members defended themselves by saying that they have been occupying the land legally and that they have been paying rent to someone from the municipality.” We are not go-ing to be intimidated by the community of Oukasie.” “If they did not want us to have church services next to them, they should have said it politely, not through physical outrage and violent demonstra-tions. We are human beings and we would have listened if they had ap-proached us and told us to leave nicely.” “Now I want to set the record straight, those allegations that we bewitch the South Africans must come to an end

because we have no intention of doing such things. We did not kill anybody let alone young children for wealth, what we do is that we pray to God like any other church members on earth.”

“I am pleading with the community to leave us alone and focus on their devel-opment instead of running after inno-cent churches. We could be regarded as outsiders but I strongly believe that we pray the same God and we all deserve to pray.” “Our churches do not descrim-inate against anybody; everybody is wel-come. The stuff we use in the churches are not there to bewitch anybody or curse the community but it is what we use to express our faith.” said a Prophet. According to Dean Ministries, One church that is fairly popular in South Africa is the Old Apostolic Church (OAC). The OAC has its roots in the Catholic Apostolic Church (formed around 1831, but after its last “apostle” died in 1901 it went into decline) which followed the Nicene Creed of 325AD (Catholic) and, like the OAC, is not an offshoot of the Reformation (or, Protes-tantism) but of Irvingism.Hermann Niehaus tried to remove Carl George Klibbe and appointed Wilhelm Schlaphoff as “apostle” instead. Klibbe was excommunicated in 1913. So, for a while there were two NACs in South Af-rica. Eventually they came to an agree-ment in 1926. Carl Klibbe’s church would be called Old Apostolic Church (OAC), Schlaphoff’s would become the New Apostolic Church (NAC). Today the OAC has around 2 million follow-ers in Africa (South Africa, Swaziland,

Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi) and 30,000 in Europe; branches are in USA, Can-ada, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.

The OAC is divided into nine districts covering Southern Africa and Germany. Each district is run by the District Of-fice, where the “apostles” work from. Each “apostle” has an Apostleship which includes a few Overseerships. Such an Overseership is led by an Overseer, Evangelist and Prophet. It is divided into many Elderships. Enter the cult status. The core difference between the OAC and other churches is that it reads the Bible “spiritually”, rather than literally. In other words, you as a believer cannot simply buy a Bible and start reading it.

You see, every word that is written in the Bible is inspired by God, and for them this means it is deemed too holy to be read in the normal way. So whatever is written in the Bible, there has to be a hidden “spiritual” meaning for every word. Meanwhile, one community member told Madibeng Times that she cannot state with absolute certainty whether the churches are the cause of every evil deed in their commu-nity. “Of course this people and their churches are surrounding us big time and that is a serious matter.” “I think we should use facts instead of allegations to deal with this challenge, many com-munity members will think that what we are doing is part of xenophobic at-tacks. At least we are doing it peacefully without vandalising anyone’s property.” said a community member. If indeed they are paying rent,then who accepts the money?

Brits – Friday, June 5 2015, the newly appointed board members of Brits Hospital by the Bokone Bophirima Provincial MEC of Health Dr Magome Masike were inaugurated and inducted to bring the ‘Wind of Change’ in the hospital governance and moreo-ver to rebuild public confidence in the hospital as community repre-sentatives.

This leadership change is in consist-ent with the North West Devel-

opmental Social Welfare and Hospital Governance Institutions Act, 1997 24/3/97 No 2 of 1997. This Act man-dates the MEC responsible for Health to appoint community representatives nominated by their constituents to ex-ercise oversight role in ensuring that the hospital is answerable to the community of Madibeng and that communities and leadership structures are mobilized towards making health care a commu-nity’s business.

Speaking at the inauguration, The Chief Director of Bojanala District Health Services Ms Rose Mokoto said, “On behalf of the District Management and Brits Hospital, we congratulate all of you for being chosen amongst the rest. As the district and the Brits Hos-pital this is indeed a milestone and the development and implementation of a social compact, which is part of the National Ten Point Plan.” This eight-een (18) top flight board members were taken on an induction processes led by

the Head of Special Programmes at the Provincial Office Ms Madipuo Tlhogane. Ms. Tlhogane highlight-ed the tights, powers, duties and functions of the board members in terms of section 14 (1) of Act No 2 of 1997, “You are obliged to furnishing comments and make recommenda-tions to the responsible member, through the medium of the manage-ment of this hospital, on all matters, reports, documents or recom-mendations submitted to you for considera-tion.”

She further said that amongst their responsi-bilities would be “fund raising to assist the hospital, consulting with communities on health services issues and addressing Ministerial six priorities areas which are Safety and Security of staff and patients, Infection Prevention and Control, Values and Attitudes, Drug availability, waiting time and cleanliness.” The hospital’s board comprised of people from diverse back-ground: from business to legal to civic organizations to local councilors to un-ions to youth forums to religious groups to tribal authority. The board members as legislated voted for its chairperson

to steer the ship. The new hospital board’s chairperson is Mr Zebulon Mabe Morake. Mr. Morake hails from Modderspruit near Bapong is bringing in a wealth of community activism and stakeholders management experiences.Morake said to his fellow board mem-bers, “we declare our readiness to en-sure that we serve our communities and this hospital for a better health for all.”The CEO of Brits Hospital Ms Babe Mosuwe said that “We, as the hospital, are excited of this move because when we were assessed we were not comply-ing because of unavailability of the

board… Representing the MEC, MMC Cllr Violet Molotsi urged the board to roll up their sleeves and get down to work, “Time to put health care on the front foot. It is essential that you make sure that health issues become the com-munity business and it is also necessary to work collectively to ensure that this hospital becomes the hub of quality services delivery.” Indeed the journey of Brits District Hospital to the Provincial 3R: Rebranding, Renewal and Reposi-tioning has begun.

Weddings Bells rang on 13 June 2015 forThelma and Daniel Molaulwa

Congratulations on your wedding day form the Madibeng Times team!

Since ancient times, it has always been our custom to mark the grave with a stone or monument. Even though a funeral is held for deceased loved ones, it is the tombstone unveiling ceremony that lends an even bigger significance to the African culture.

The main reason for this can be attributed to the

fact that the unveiling of a tombstone aims to honour the memory of deceased loved ones and as such celebrate their life after death. Although the main focus of a tombstone unveiling ceremony is, as the name suggests, the physical unveiling of the tombstone, it does also incorporate numerous other activi-ties, both preceding and following the actual unveiling. Relatives, friends and extended families of Mashishi gathered together in celebrating the tombstone unveiling of Mr. Alfeous Scara Mashi-shi at Letlkaneng known as Rietgat on the 14th of June 2015 at 9am. For example, a tombstone unveiling cer-emony usually begins by holding a short church service at a family member’s home where a priest delivers a suitable sermon; this is followed by singing some church hymns.

Afterwards some more singing takes place at the graveyard itself. After some time, the actual tombstone unveiling ceremony can take place. Every aspect related to the physical unveiling of the tombstone is done according to tradi

tion. It is important not to deviate from the way it is usually performed, includ-ing making sure that the tombstonestays fully covered, not allowing anyone attending the tombstone unveiling cer-emony to take a peek at it beforehand.The marker or monument serves to identify the grave so that relatives will find it when they visit, honour the memory of the deceased, and identify the place of buria. It is customary for the grave marker to be put in place and for an unveiling ceremony to be held after the Kaddish period is over, but no later than one year after the death.

While many families wait until almost the full year has passed to do the unveil-ing, it may be done sooner; in Israel the stone is usually placed soon after she-loshim (the first 30 days of mourning).The celebration at Mashishi’s family featured among others Mr. Mashishi’s wife Kgomotso, the children Mapula, Tshepang, Karabo, and the grandchild Neo Mashishi. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all those who had managed to attend the celebration.

Sponsors of the Miss Earth South Africa 2015, on Saturday the 13th of June 2015 organ-ized an event at Ten Rooms called Ten Rooms water project.

Rumbi Zindi and her team got the

sponsorship from the Madibeng municipal-ity for a Diesel pump and JoJo tanks. The event was graced by various speakers who made remarkable speeches about safety in the area and social issues at Ten Rooms. During the event there was a traditional dance group performing their favourite lyrics against xenophobic attacks that happened at the beginning of this year (2015).

The Ethiopian Church of South Africa is a small yet old and well known church founded by the late Bishop B. Phiri in 1940 in a coun-tryside area called Mamogaliesk-raal. The church has grown over the years into branches that include Oukasie, Letlhabile, Ma-boloka and Letlhakaneng.

The church is currently overseen by Bishop Z. Mbewe who also leads

the Oukasie Branch. The Oukasie Branch has recently relocated to big-ger premises in a different section of Oukasie due to the growing number of its congregation members over the past

years. The church has therefore built a temporary structure from the remain-ing materials of the previous building but still has some challenges in terms of space for the congregation. The church therefore, humbly requests any form of donation from individuals, companies or government institutions such as; used or new building materials, furniture and or cash.

“We hope that you find this request in order and hope to hear from you

soon, for your donations please contact Mr. A Lekota (Evangelist) on 074 804 4424.” said Rev. F Manganye.

The celebration was done concur-rently with the memorial lec-ture of the late Comrade Enoch Seimela who was murdered by the police early last year (2014) while trying to end the march that was happening.

Nevertheless, Da-monsville Com-

munity Forum together with the community shared the moment when hosting the live band music called Hovenbae com-ing all the way from Cape Town. The group entertained the crowd with mu-sic by DJ Bolty. A community member who was among the crowd cherishing at the live music told Madibeng Times that “this is a special day to everyone and needs to be celebrated with smiles

knowing where we come from and what we are to achieve in the future.” “We are celebrating 16 June, the day that we all remember the 1976 Soweto upris-ings and the struggle that our brothers and sisters have suffered in the past. I want to emphasise to everybody that this park is very important to everyone of us in Damonsville.” “Today signifies a great future ahead of us, especially

those who love good things like myself. This park will bring us closer together as the community of Damonsville, I am looking forward to seeing more and more artists coming to perform on this beautiful park.”said P J Damons.

Elandsrand FC got a hand full of goals on the 20th of June 2015 when they were hosted by Fire Stars FC at Oukasie Sports Ground at 3pm. The match saw Fire Stars FC wrap-ping up 3 points home by win-ning 8-0.

The Metropolitan League play-ing under Madibeng Local

Football Association (Malfa) gave the most entertaining match when Thato Shai of Fire Stars FC missed too many goal scoring opportunities and only managing to score 3 goals.Harry Shabangu, Jacob Masilo, Pogiso Lebethe, Kgothatso Monama also registered themselves when increasing the Fire Stars FC lead by scoring a goal apiece. A penalty was

awarded to the mighty Fire Stars FC and it was taken by the number one Daniel “Spider” Rampau who net-ted the ball and guaranteed his side three points.

Fire Stars FC have five (5) matches remaining before the closure of the league. Head coach Mphahlele said that these rounds are the easiest of them all.

Meanwhile, Fire Stars FC winning the match against Elandsrand FC has placed them on position 2 of the league with Brits United FC being the leader on the league log. After the match against Fire Stars FC and Elandsrand FC, Brits United FC were supposed to play against Early Birds FC. Early Birds FC players never pitched for the game and that made the Brits United FC winners of 3 points by virtue of “walk-over system”. “This is just a disgraceful and unwanted win, we expect play-ers to play and compete not to get free points, we need a challenge.” said Brits United FC coach Tshepo.
