DA AGAINST ESKOM 25,3% TARIFF HIKE REQUESTBy Angie RAmAhAnedzAOn Wednesday, 01 April members of the Democratic Alliance marched to the Public Enterprise Ministry in Pretoria to highlight their concerns with regards to the proposed electricity tariff hikes requested by the power utility Eskom.The party members demonstrated their concerns by picketing outside the ministry’s offices holding placards which said more than enough about their intentions. The demonstration was led by DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane who handed over the memorandum of demands and he was joined by Shadow Minister for Public Enterprise, Natasha Mazzone, shadow minister for Energy, Gordon Mackay and the Gauteng Provincial Chairperson, Solly Msimanga. Mzwandile Radebe received the memorandum on behalf of the Public Enterprise Department as acting Chief Operations Officer (COO)The DA has requested the minister of Public Enterprise Lynne Brown to take an immediate action to act on Eskom’s request to increase electricity tariffs by 25, 3%. “We are here to tell the Minister that we are against the proposed tariff hikes by eskom which are far above inflation,” said Maimane.The Democratic Alliance said it has recently confirmed that Eskom is in the process of applying to reopen the electricity tariff determination process, this time requesting a massive 25.3% tariff increase. “The end result is that South Africans are being increasingly squeezed to make up for an ineffective and corrupt government and its parastatals,”Maimane addressed the crowd.The demands which theDA gave to the Minister should be implemented as a matter of urgency which includes to Prevent Eskom from exploiting South Africans through above-inflation tariff request. “Stop the payment of exorbitant salaries and bonuses to Eskom executives, Make the procurement processes for diesel and coal transparent to minimise corruption and wasteful expenditure, Make detailed maintenance reports public and establish tangible key performance indicators (KPIs) for managers and Launch an independent inquiry into the mismanagement of Eskom”. These are some of the demands listed in the DA memorandum issued to Department of Public Enterprise on the day in question.“Energy is the life blood of our economy. As long as this crisis continues our economy will not proposer. We will not see an increase in jobs and we will not be closer to tackling poverty in our country,” explained Maimane.The DA believes that increasing the price of electricity so dramatically only serves to add insult to injury to consumers and the economy, who are already suffering from the effects of load shedding.The party has also called on Minister Brown to act decisively on the matter and implement the demands of the DA for the sake of all South Africans.One party member Brownyin Engelbrecht told Hammanskraal News that part of their demonstration is to protect South African citizens against the proposed Eskom tariff hikes which are very high. “Most of the South Africans are unemployed so if the department considers Eskom’s proposition, most of the people in this country won’t be able to live accordingly. Engelbrecht has called on the department to adhere to her party’s request regarding all Eskom issues.

NEWS / DITABA 16 April 2015

A WOMAN MADE PREGNANT BY A BEN TENBy Sebushane MoobiHammanskraal News came across a lady in Walman village (Syferskuil D) near Radium where an 18 years old boy is involved. Rebone Thati (54)(pseudonym) said that young boys are mostly the best in bed for elderly women in extramarital relationships. She explained that the Ben Ten, as they are commonly known became a common thing in her life and that the boy enjoyed some privileges from this relationship with her. She said that the relationship with her husband was on the rocks and went for a divorce. She is presently pregnant with the Ben Ten’s baby

and feels real bad to go for abortion.The lady told Hammanskraal News that she enjoyed every minute of her time with the young boy (and does grade 12 at a nearby town). Thati said that she gave the boy (her ben ten) a R2000,00 allowance every month. She said that he uses the allowance to purchase clothes, for transport and shares some of it to help his parental home to purchase food. The lass outlined that she met the ben ten at Jubilee mall. Thati said that they outlined their relationship details as well as the dos and don’ts. She stated that they agreed to not

to meet at the lady’s house or his home since the sugar mama is even older than his own mother and would always use some of the B & B outlets. Thati said that they meet three or four times a week in different outlets to avoid being traced. She also told Hammanskraal News that she assists him with his school work. On the other hand, Thati bragged that she treated the boy like a king and that she also promised him a driver’ license

“if” he behaves himself. Her husband Phillip confirmed the relationship and swore that he moved out of the house before filing for divorce. He assured Hammanskraal News that he would never go to a house where a boy as old as his son sleeps with his wife.The ben ten laughed that though he is at high school, the lady buys him expensive jewelry and clothes. Jacob (pseudonym and the Ben ten) also mentioned that he has an allowance whereby he can use the lady’s account at one of the stores to buy clothes.Asked if his girlfriend is in the know of the status quo, he laughingly responded that she is fully aware and she fully acknowledges the relationship. Jacob concluded that the woman’s husband did not know of the “roll on or makhwapheni” thing between the Ben ten (Jacob) and his wife until she fell pregnant. He opened up to Hammanskraal News that it turned out very sour when the man came to know of the pregnancy. At the time of going to print, the two former couples have since moved separate ways. On the other hand, the husband, Phillip had filed for divorce. Mavis Mokgethi, a local municipal advisor said that women and men in such youthful relationships do not respect their marriages. She went further to say that she never gets involved in any extra marital affairs even if it meant earning a million rand for that. She explained that it is not all about money in a relationship with her, but all for love and care. She added that being in such relationship means that the younger one (be it a boy or a girl) is experimenting with an older person. She questioned what happens when the two

get into bed with an age difference of 25 or 30 years. She further said that such women do not respect their bodies and belittle their husbands.Mavis relayed that such people are susceptible to infection. She said that she wondered what the sugar mama would say to her husband if she contracted a sexually transmitted infection. She stated again that it would be a shameful situation for both the man and may also contribute to the ever rising divorces. She concluded that the children in the said family would be shamed by the behavior of their parent(s) in such relationships.

People seem to think that the 10111 po-lice emergency number is a general pub-lic inquiry service hotline. They think that it will be easy for SAPS to fi nd a long lost lover or estranged family mem-ber by making a false report of a missing person.According to Captain Piet Rossouw, Com-munication Offi cer of Vosloorus Police Sta-tion, however, “It puts a tremendous work-load and cost on the police to attend to hoax calls and reports. The police appeals to the community to refrain from doing hoaxes as they will be liable to prosecution when caught.”He said in the police’s 2013/14 report ta-bled in Parliament, which covers the period from April 2013 to the end of March 2014, just over two-thirds of the 7 648 975 calls to 10111 were hoaxes, nuisance and abusive calls or enquiries about personal or service delivery matters. Rossouw said only about 32.1 percent (2 456 187) were police-relat-ed.Although the overall number of 10111 calls declined by almost one-and-a-half million from 9 122 688, the percentage of po-lice-related calls increased from 29 percent in 2012/13.Rossouw says there are 22 10111 call cen-tres countrywide connecting 475 police sta-tions to the emergency response system and there are 1 137 police stations. To com-municate directly with the people and their own employees, the police record an aver-age of 200 Tweets a month, do 1 671 public education and awareness campaigns, and make 34 episodes of the When Duty Calls television series.

NO LEARNERS MUST BE ALLOWED IN THE TAVERNSBENNY B MALULEKA SEBUSHANE MOOBI

Most learners have made it a norm to celebrate completion of exams by drinking alcohol some calling it pen’s down. However Concerned Tshwane Liquor Traders (CTLT) which represents taverns and shebeens in around Tshwane swore that the trend will no longer be tolerated. Mthombeni said this during the organization’s substance abuse awareness campaign when visiting two primary schools in Hammanskraal. He advised learners to refuse being sent to taverns or shebeens to buy alcohol and told them to report it immediately if their family members assault them. “We as the liquor traders we need to provide services with responsibility we don’t want to see minors or uniformed learners in places where alcohol is sold” he said.The campaign started in the morning during assembly at Molefe Mooke primary school at Dilopye which was also attended by members of CTLT. Mthombeni stressed that as the organization they will no longer allow children’s rights to be trampled by alcohol. “We want learners to focus on their studies not being disturbed by being sent for beers or cigarettes” emphasized him. Mthombeni warned liquor traders who continue to provide service to minors or learners that they will clamp down on them and they stand to lose their operational licenses. As members of CTLT we are saying that no learners must be allowed in the taverns emphasized him.Magdeline Thobejane principal of Molefe Mooke told Hammanskraal News that as a school they really appreciate what CTLT is doing because that shows that they care about education and the community.

Thobejane further said that she hope such programme could continue to other schools because it could assist the learners. “We are looking forward in inviting CTLT in our parents’ meeting so that they can also talk to the parents of the learners because during presentation some of learners said that indeed their family members sent them to taverns to buy them alcohol” she said.The second school that received presentation was Phalesane Primary school in Suurman. Mthombeni told learners that some of the reasons some minors consume alcohol is because they have always been sent to taverns or shebeens while they are still young and they see alcohol as a good thing. “Parents need to play an important role in insuring that teenagers consume alcohol at a proper age by not allowing them to go to taverns” elaborated him.Phalesane Principal Mmiha Manne told Hammanskraal News that he is very happy and thankful about the presentation because it will teach learners about the danger of alcohol. “Presentation also prepares learners for a better future because some alcohol abusers end up being bad people in the community or society by doing crimes” explained Manne. He further said that members of CTLT have really shown the learners that they also want to see them (learners) having a better future by focusing on their education. Manne advises learners to stop alcohol and drug abuse because they might destroy their future. We are very thankful that CTLT have really shown that they care about education of our learners besides being liquor traders said Manne.Chairperson of Hammanskraal CTLT Michael ‘Bro Biza’ Ledwaba told Hammanskraal News that they intend conducting presentations at middle and high schools because it’s where most of the learners consume alcohol as they are at adolescent stage. “As liquor traders we are concerned about the future of our learners because their parents are our customers so we must insure they solemnly focuses on their education” said him. Ledwaba said that alcohol is not for the children they must enjoy their childhood and be children.

Tshedimosetso (Information) called on the residents of Marokolong to use its resources without fear. The latter was voiced at a gathering that was intended at informing the community that it is an asset worth using. This institution works in conjunction with the Department of social development. Tshedimosetso was started in 2008 to help the community for without any charged. The institution renders service in social services as well as assisting the community with basics like intervention in business related matters.

She urged the attendants to use services of her department for referrals. She further said that drug and substance abuse are a thorn in the flesh for her departmental section.Mrs. Manganyi stated that some drug abusers can be helped upon their choice to quit. She added that such persons can be referred to a rehabilitation Centre in Cullinan. She relayed that involuntary clients ( those that are reported to be more abusive) can be forced through the use of a court order. Manganyi urged the senior citizens to participate in active agent programs to stay fit. She relayed that disabilities should not be hidden and such people should be brought forward for help. “Gone are those days when the disabled and the crippled used to be

locked away from the public eye,” she said. She said that disability is nobody’s fault and that it is everyone’s responsibility to give a helping hand. The institution board Chair person, Mr. Malatsi said that the main idea in the formation of Tshedimosetso was to fight poverty.

He outlined that they also offer assistance with learnerships and vacancies. He urged members of the community to ask for help and that fear to ask for assistance is suicidal. Khalo further said that the institution also assists job mail from their library so that people do not have to part with money they do not have.

By BB MalulekaThere is an old say that there is no place like home however for the Tlhomelang family that seems not to be the case. This is after Hammanskraal News was told that there is a man who claimed to have bought their family house at an auction. According to Mmenyana Tlhomelang the man called *Nkitsing Makhabu came about fi ve years ago alleging that he have bought the house and sold it to another women, *Didi Baitsi. She said that that was when their troubles started as the two once came to their home ordering them to take their furnishers outside so that the man can renovate the house. “That day we were forced to share a mattress on the fl oor while our furnishers were damaged by the rain” said Mmenyana.Mmenyana told Hammanskraal News that they demanded the Makhabu to produce

documents to support his claims however he could not and that’s when he changed his statements saying he bought it at the bank. She said that they then enquired with Northwest Housing Co-Operation where they were told that the house was paid up in 2003 after our father David Tlhomelang passed away. Mmenyana said that they then went to court but later the case was withdrawn however the two kept coming to our home.When Hammanskraal News arrived at Tlhomelang family house some individuals who identifi ed themselves as messengers of sheriff accompanied by police demanded furnishers and family members to leave the house so that they could lock the gates. Mmenyana was served with eviction letter which some members of South African National Civic Organisation went to Moretele Magistrate Court as efforts to assist the family. Upon their return SANCO member Dorothy

Relationships naturally have to end up in marriages and happiness. The latter is a nightmare to a Carousel Lady who was involved in an upside down relationship. A man who is neither to be trusted nor be honored for the name (man) as she openly told Hammanskraal News. She got engaged from lies to lies as well as involvement with numerous other women.Refentse Nkgopole from Carousel View told Hammanskraal News that she was involved with a Joseph Nthomeng who was more than two timing. She said that he is a Casanova who promised marriage wherever he went. According to Refentse, they had been in a relationship for more than three years and did

not fi rst smell a rat. She relayed that the man got involved with his colleague and she noticed from numerous telephonic conversations. She explained that Joseph mostly told her that he was working nightshift when he slept over at another woman’s. Furthermore, Fentse, as she is commonly known, stated that her boyfriend went on to do the same thing until she reprimanded him even though she was just quite about it. She voiced that Joseph always denied even when she had all the proof of having seen him with the said lady. She lamented said that she insisted on her relationship [to work by bowing, trying to “worship” and cherish him to no avail. The lass said that the worst case scenario was when she saw the man with a school girl. She relayed that she confronted her and got sadder when the school girl bragged and boasted that no woman could match her. “He went further to deny and told me that I

did not trust him”, She stated in tears. Fentse Added that the girl was almost eighteen and presently in matric. She explained that her sadness was worsened by the girl’s statement that her boyfriend stayed at her home when

she thought he was working overtime and at that time she had banked her school day. Fentse then voiced that Joseph took her out to supper and proposed. She added that that was the same evening when he took to his knees for her hand in life and marriage which she accepted in the hope that everything will go well. “Wherever there is smoke, there is fi re,” Said Fentse.The lass advanced that her prospective husband did not go a long way with her after the vow that he took. She indicatedthat he went on to betray the relationship

with lies and extra involvements, more and more affair where she ended up being beaten by three young girls. She said that the girls

claimed to be friends to the one and only for her Casanova husband to be. Fentse sadly said that she had since realized again that Joseph had “stolen” her cousin’s cell phone number and was busy luring her into his scheme. “My cousin Jacobeth told me and I confronted him again when he responded that she was the one who seduced him”, relayed Fentse.Fentse fi nally told Hammanskraal News that she had had a very bad relationship with Joseph and have since parted ways. She added that he became a kick boxer to her ribs and a puncher to her face. She further stated that her cousin came over to their place as she then stayed with him and had to move back to her parental home. She weptthat she had made a very wrong choice of being engaged to the suffering of her soul as well as her totality. She lamented that she does not trust any man anymore. She voiced that she went from an engagement ring and other than going to a wedding ring, expired for a suffer ring. “I really believe and hope that women should be cautious of their steps and learn that I took a very wrong decision with a Casanova.”Fentse concluded.Finally, Joseph opened up to Hammanskraal News that he is never satisfi ed and needs

Mmenyana Tlhomelang assisted by a neighbour to put back their belongings into their late parents’ house.

Pole said that they have obtained a letter stating that the Tlhomelang family must return into their house. Neighbours were forced to assists the Tlhomelang to return their belongings into the house. While Hammanskraal News was still at the scene children were forced to go to the neighbours’ house in order to change their school uniform when they returned from school. Christina Tlhomelang also member of the family told Hammanskraal News that this occurrence has affected the children including them because this is not the fi rst they were locked outside their home it is for the third time. “We are not free because we never know when will they come again and take us out” said Christina. She alleges that her sister Mmenyana has the title deeds in her name so she wonders how the house could be sold without their idea. The two individuals who claim to have bought our home they want to con us our family house. At around 16H00 the Makhabu and Baitsi alleges to have bought the house came to the Tlhomelang household accompanied by the police. Neighbours and community members were very angry to see the two approaching and confronted them whilst swearing. Things

turned ugly after Mmenyana hysterically crying and started attacking Baitsi while some community members wanted to beat the Makhabu. Police were forced to separate the two as Mmenyana was attacking the claimant and the man took out a pepper spray which he sprayed Mmenyana in the eyes. The two were forced to fl ee the scene after community members started throwing their vehicle with stones. Makhabu and Baitsi went to the police station however Hammanskraal News saw the paper which showed that the two and Mmenyana signed at the police station that states that they would not open case of assault.Another individual who also alleges to have experience almost similar incidence is Nkele Mphela who alleges that this year in January some people who identifi ed themselves as messengers of the sheriff came to her deceased mother’s house . Mphela said that they told her the house was sold however she called her lawyer who instructed her not to allow those individuals into the house until he got there. She alleges that sometimes occupants of different cars used to take pictures of the house before speeding off. “Even to date I don’t feel safe because those people promised to come back and this incidence has really affected my daughter’s studies” said Mphela.Pole of SANCO said that they are aware of different cases which members of different household are being told to leave because they have been bought. She said that as the representative of the community they will not tolerate this practice. According to some sources those who become victim some of the owners are deceased or the owner is a pensioner. “I believe the peoples who claim to be the buyers takes advantage because the parents are deceased while pensioners are old and don’t understand or neither can read” said Pole. *(NOT THE REAL NAME)

When Hammanskraal news team asked her how did she manage to raise all the children by herself she replied, “I worked very hard and was also selling African beer to make sure that I can put bread on the table without any man’s help” she said with tears rolling down her cheeks.“When my husband passed away I told myself that I’m going to focus more on children. Gogo Raesibe who even now looks very young and energetic said what keeps her going is only healthy food. I eat too much vegetables and fruits as I grew up eating them. I grew up in a rural area where everything you had to do on your own without depending on anybody. Where I come from we used to do gardening and taking animals to bushes thou back then things where tough more than they are now. Saying I so wish I had these opportunity to be in the democratic world like youth of today. I never thought I would be able to reach {116} in my life according to the kind of world we used to live back

then during the apartheid regime.“I believe that the way the parents as that will also work in their advantage. Saying its high time the youth of today take charge of their lives and start being responsible and independent especially young women. I’m very happy to see things have turned out to be i doubt our grandchildren will be able to reach not more 85 years of age. According to the food they eat and the life styles the live. Although I encourage all the young people out there to respect women been given credit where is due as we as women are the ones that carry the pains of these world.”Rebecca Khoza who is a neighbour to the senior citizen said she is humbled and happy to be around someone this old.

second leg will be played a fortnight later (23, 24, 25 October).“Some may be thinking we are playing Mauritius so it will be a walk in the park, but there are no easy teams anymore in international football. Every team wants to do well and if they believe you are a powerhouse they come to you fi ring on all cylinders, so we must prepare well and work hard for our success,” said Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba after the draw.“The last time, we did not do well at home in the CHAN tournament and many will still be making reference to that so we have to improve on that.
