A primary school teacher was arrested last weekend in connection with drug possession, after allegedly being caught red-handed buying drugs.According to reports, the teacher was arrested along with five Nigerian nationals aged between 24 and 29, last Saturday. The Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department’s Germiston Crime Prevention Unit received a tip-off, after which they made the arrest.The Nigerian nationals were arrested for possession and dealing in illicit substances, while the teacher was taken in for possession, according to EMPD spokesperson, Wilfred
Kgasago.The arrest took place at around 09:30 in the morning, when EMPD officers noticed a silver Daewoo sedan parked close behind a silver Ford Figo. The officers waited until they witnessed an exchange taking place. Two Nigerian nationals were arrested at the scene, where they found four packets of Cat.An additional 33 packets of Cat and six packets of crystal methamphetamine were confiscated at the Nigerian nationals’ residence, where three more men were arrested. The 41-year-old primary school teacher was
released on R500 bail last Monday and the case was postponed until 20 March. The police confiscated crystal methamphetamine and Cat with a street value of approximately R10 000.One of the Nigerian nationals was released along with the teacher.
During the month of March, tame TIMES is launching a war against drugs. Turn to page 5 to read more statistics and information on drug-related crimes in South Africa.

Good job Ekurhuleni
Alberton City Shavathon
Allan Nel from Whispering Winds Estate in Newmarket Park wishes to thank Ekurhuleni for their swift reaction in cleaning the surrounding area. Within a few days, employees were dispatched to clean and did a very good job.

ALBERTON: WHAT A HISTORYDie vorige twee berigte het oor die straatname in Alberton-Noord gegaan. Nou en oor twee weke gesels ons ’n bietjie oor New Redruth.Teen 1936 toe New Redruth ’n voorstad van Alberton geword het, was dit vir reeds meer as twintig jaar ’n onafhanklike dorp. Dit is ook op ’n gedeelte van die plaas Elandsfontein uitgelê en in 1912 as dorp geproklameer. Die standplase was betreklik groot en as landbouhoewes bemark. Die twee openbare ruimtes was Trelawny Park en Markplein, waarvan net een behoue gebly het.Toe Rothschild en sy besigheidsvennoot Coronel hulle nuwe dorp laat uitlê het, is gesê dat hulle plekname van die Engelse graafskap Cornwallis gekies het om munt te slaan uit die groot getal mynwerkers uit Cornwallis wat op die Witwatersrand gewerk het. Daar is ook gesê dat Rothschild die naam New Redruth as herdenking van sy eie geboortedorp, Redruth, gekies het.Cornwallis is die westelikste en suidelikste graafskap in Engeland. Voordat die ontginning van tin en koper in die middel van die 19de eeu getaan het, was die dorpe Redruth en Camborne die middelpunt van die mynwese in Cornwallis. Ná die ontdekking van goud op die Witwatersrand in 1886 was myners uit Cornwallis in aanvraag vir hulle ervaring met die myn van harde rots.Met ’n paar uitsonderings eggo New Redruth se straatname die
name van dorpe in Cornwallis: Bodmin, Camborne, Camelford,
Chasewater, Falmouth, Fowey, Helston, Padstow,
Launceston, Looe, Newquay, Penzance,
Porthpean, Saltash, St Austell, St Columb,
Telawarren en Truro.Toe die dorp oorspronklik uitgelê
is, het New Redruth gestrek vanaf St Austell Straat in die noorde, Bodmin in die weste en Padstow in die suide. Die oostelike grens was onreëlmatig vanweë die groot stuk plaasgrond wat uitgesluit is en ook die deurgangsreg van beeste langs die oewer van die Natalspruit.Die grootste oop ruimte se amptelike naam is Trelawny Park. In die volksmond is dit bekend as Eeufeeskoppie, uiters gewild in die vroeë jare vir pieknieks en die jaarlikse Geloftedagvierings. Met die konstruksie van Ringpad-Wes in die 1980’s is ’n deel van die park deur teer verswelg. Die naam van die park vereer biskop Jonathan Trelawny van Bristol, gebore in Cornwallis. In die 1680’s is die biskop in die Tower of Londen gevange gehou omdat hy die koning teëgegaan het.Vir meer inligting oor die Alberton-erfenisvereniging, skakel asseblief (011) 869-9417 (Beverley-Ann Small).

Welcome to Autumn, where the colours start to change and the mornings are getting colder. Change is inevitable. We don’t always like change, yet we embrace it, eventually. This week we have a full page showing the readers everything they need to know about the changes in the budget abd how it will affect
them.Mimmos Meyersdal made a few changes when the new management took over. Have a look on page 7 to read about the Italian feast you can expect when you visit them. On a daily basis, we see changes in the society. My friend Christo changed a few people’s perceptions on Sunday when he stopped his car and carried a sick man from the middle of the street to the side of the road. You never know when your act of kindness can change someone’s life for the better, so don’t hesitate. This week, remember: “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything” - George Bernard Shaw.
Alberton City hosted a Shavathon on Saturday 28 February. Wherever you looked, you could see hair sprayed in many different colours, or people walking proudly with brand
new haircuts for the cause of raising funds.
The Moodley family gathered at Alberton City and had their hair sprayed in memory of Mr Needan Moodley, who passed away last week.

Alert car guard saves the dayA woman parked her car outside Pick ‘n Pay Lambton on 25 February at around 11:00. While she was doing her shopping, her car was stolen. However, a very alert car guard noticed the suspect, and knowing the woman to whom the car belongs, realized that it was being stolen. He gave the alarm and started
chasing the car. The suspect jumped out of the vehicle and into a white Hyundai Avent, which sped off with two cars following. In front of MacSteel, the car rolled, leaving the driver deceased, one suspect apprehended and two escaping into the veld. The Lambton Klip Sector 4 CPF patrollers were on the scene, keeping watch until the owner
of the car arrived. They moved the car out of the way of traffic, assisted and waited for the SAPS who arrived on the scene within minutes.On behalf of Lambton Klip Sector 4 CPF, Pine Pienaar would like to thank the car guard for his involvement in apprehending the suspects.

Thank you, Alan, for you valid question. Securing a 100 % loan mainly depends on the purchaser’s credit ratings. All the banks have different criteria, but to secure a 100 % loan would generally require the borrower to have a substantial surplus amount of money left in his or her bank account after expenses - and all accounts to be paid on time. Rarely do the banks give 100% loans, so it is always important to have a minimum of a 10% deposit ready. Once you have made an offer to purchase a house through Allegiance Properties, we will help you select the best financing option from all the major financial institutions to secure your chosen property. Let our skills, experience and contacts in the banking world help you. Allegiance Properties works with all major banks, including SA Home Loans. Our team has a great success rate and we will make sure, after doing a due diligence on the house you want to buy, that we find you a dream home that will not let you down.
What are the criteria to ensure a 100% + bond through the banks for home loans and can you apply for home loans through a number of banksl or only through one? Which banks does Allegiance Properties work closely with?

The morning was well spent at SAPS Brackendowns on 13 February celebrating Valentine’s Day.‘’From my heart to yours’’ was the message and the formal address to members of the Police from the reigning Mrs United Nations SA 2015, Desiree Oliphant.Dezzy, as she has come to be known in the community, is a hopeless romantic at heart. Wearing a beautiful red dress with loads of bling, she gave her heart to these men and women of the law on the day. Each received a beautiful metallic red, heart-shaped keyring as a gift. Desiree expressed her sincere gratitude for the service the police render in and around our community and beyond the call of duty.

Fighting crime is their passion. The domestic workers of Verwoerdpark are hands on in their approach to fight crime in their area. They recently sent a lookout for a suspicious white VW Golf with tinted windows, which they saw driving slowly around Verwoerdpark after suspecting that the occupants were hunting for houses they could target.
The domestic workers meet regularly to discuss crime in the area and also help with distributing safety tips to the community. W/O Ngobeni and Sgt Mgedezi are working hand in hand with them.Station Commander Cl Kubone appreciates their efforts and thanked them for their contribution. Alberton SAPS is encouraging more workers to join the campaign.

March, the third month of the year, is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. In this spirit, tame TIMES has decided to launch a war against drugs within the community. Recent articles and news relating to drug use, especially among schoolchildren, sometimes even without their knowledge, have left many people wondering what can be done.We believe that education is key to understanding what drug abuse is all about, how to identify certain drugs, what symptoms to look out for, and of course, where to find help. For the month of March, we will be discussing a different type of drug every week. This week, we have information about one of the biggest problems in communities, nyaope. In the last few years, drug use in South Africa has been on the rise. We urge the community to inform the police, local CPF or security
companies when they suspect any drug abuse. According to Harmony Addictions Clinic, figures published by the South African Police Service show that drug abuse is involved in 60% of all crimes. ‘’To make matters worse, the Central Drug Authority’s (CDA) Dr David Bayever reckons that up to 15% of South Africans abuse drugs,’’ the report stated.In 2014, the total number of drug-related crimes reported in Alberton was 186, according to www.crimestatssa.com. That includes only the cases that were reported to the police. It shows a drastic increase of 141 cases since 2004, where the figure was 45. Let us as a community take hands in fighting the war against drugs. Share your stories and experiences with us on our Facebook page.

Verlede week het ek die voorreg gehad om tyd te spandeer saam met goeie vriendinne van universiteit, wat ‘n fees! Ek dink nou terug aan die dinge wat ons aangevang het en lag sommer kliphard vir myself. Een spesifieke herinnering het my lekker laat lag…Ons besluit een aand ons is nou lus om een van die groot reëls van Over de Voor Manskoshuis op die Potchefstroomse Universiteit te oortree – ons gaan oor die gras hardloop. Ek, Merica en Riana is gereed vir die ding. Twee vriendinne sit reg in die Volla sodat ons vining kan wegkom indien iemand ons sien. Ons bekruip die koshuis van een kant af en ons broeke bewe behoorlik.Stap eers rustig, want ons dink as ons stadig loop, sal hulle ons nie so maklik sien nie. Een jong man sit en studeer met sy oop venster. Hy kyk op en kyk my reg in die oë
– en toe is dit verby. Ons hoor hoe skreeu hy ‘’(‘n woord wat ek liefs nie moet gebruik nie) op die gras!’’ en die grond begin omtrent bewe onder ons. Ons hardloop soos nog nooit tevore, maar die manne is te vinnig vir ons, hulle peul by deure en vensters uit om ons te vang.Eers word ons gedra tot
amper by die deur, die mans staan in twee rye en ons moet tussen hulle deurloop. Als van meel tot heuning word op ons koppe gegooi en ons sukkel om die lag in te hou. Die pad loop tot by die storte en ons drie word in een stord gedruk en die koue water word oopgedraai. Toe is dit verby. Ons lag so dat ons skaars kan regop staan. Maar ons het dit gedoen, die prys betaal en het daardie herinnering vir die res van ons lewens.TIP: aanvaar so nou en dan ‘n simpel uitdaging, die herinneringe is die moeite werd!
Verledeweek het die Kerk van Jesus die begin van lydenstyd gevier met die gebruiklike aswoensdag verootmoediging, en gedurende die ses weke van Lydenstyd is dit gebruiklik om te vas as simboliese reiniging voor Paasfees met Goeie Vrydag en Opstandingsondag gevier word.Lydenstyd (of Lent soos dit in Engels bekendstaan) moet egter nie net ’n tyd wees waarin ons oor ons eie tekortkominge en swakhede nadink nie. Dit moet veral ook ’n tyd wees waarin die positiewe elemente van
ons daaglikse lewe oordenk en gevier word. Dalk help hierdie vrae jou om Lydenstyd 2015 ook opbouend in te rig: Hoe hanteer ek my familie, vriende en kollega’s? Hoe beleef ’n vreemdeling my? Watter bydrae lewer ek tot die uitbreiding van die Koninkryk van God? Hoe aktief is ek in my meelewing en deelname aan die gemeenskap van gelowiges?Ek bid dat hierdie wonderlike tyd voor Paasfees vir jou sal inspireer tot ’n dieper en meer opregte verhouding met Christus Jesus.

INSPIRATION
International Woman’s Day – 8 MarchMAKE IT HAPPEN All around the world, International Women’s Day (IWD) represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality.It is the celebration of ordinary women as makers of history. South Africa also celebrates National Women’s Day on 9 August to commemorate the Women’s March of 1956, when women marched to the Union Buildings to protest against the carrying of pass books.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, MC, commonly known as Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), was a Roman Catholic religious sister and missionary. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and is active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/Aids, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics; children’s and family counselling programs; orphanages; and schools.
Florence Nightingale, (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was a celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. She came to prominence while serving as a manager of nurses trained by her during the Crimean War, when she organized the care of wounded soldiers. She gave nursing a highly favorable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, with the persona of “The Lady with the Lamp” making her rounds of wounded soldiers at night.

Forty-five years ago, “Little Sparrows’’ was founded by a Greek immigrant couple, Nikki and Ari Karvelas. Ploughing all of their resources into the project, the couple built their first school themselves in 1970. Mrs Karvelas had worked in Athens at a nursery school named ‘“Ta Spourgitakia,’’ translated into English as “Little Sparrows.’’
In 1993, the first Grade Ones attended Little Sparrows Primary School. A new grade was introduced each year that followed and by 1995 the name ‘’Sparrows Private School’’ was adopted. Student numbers grew steadily and by 2000 the Grade 7 – and final primary school class – was introduced.By that time, the Department of Education was so impressed with Sparrows Private
School that its registration was upgraded to include a high school.Sparrows Private School prides itself on being a family-orientated school that takes a personalised approach to each of its students. The school is currently being run by the daughter and son-in-law of the founders, Gregory and Helen Gregoriou. Helen had always been involved with the school since
she was a little girl.In addition to investing in its academic success, Sparrows Private School also encourages its host of extracurricular activities. Sparrows Private School aims for achievement within a secure, caring and disciplined environment. Ultimately, the success of Sparrows Private School can be put down to one word – evolution.

Vroue, mans en kinders vanaf meer as 170 lande en streke gaan op Vrydag 6 Maart die ‘’World Day of Prayer’’ vier. Hierdie jaar vra die vroue van de WDP komitee van die Bahamas almal om Jesus se woorde aan die dissipels, nadat Hy hul voete gewas het, in ag te neem: ‘’Verstaan julle wat ek vir
julle gedoen het?’’. Die vroue van die Bahamas verduidelik dat wat Jesus gedoen het deur Sy dissipels se voete te was, ‘’radikale liefde’’ was. Radikale liefde stam uit nederigheid, deernis en
toewyding. God se radikale liefde is nie staties of selfgesentreerd nie; dit reik uit en trek ander in.
“Die Seun is die beeld/ICON van God” - Kol. 1:15ICON is ‘n jeugbediening in Alberton vol energie - vir die Here, mekaar en ander. Met vele kampe, uitreike en ‘’Random Acts of Kindness’’, is ICON die perfekte groep om by aan te sluit vir
tieners met ‘n opregte liefde vir hul medemens.ICON jeugbediening se fondse word ingesamel deur middel van ‘’funraisers’’, waar die jeug hulself gate uit geniet in die
proses.‘’Random Acts of Kindness’’ sluit byvoorbeeld in dat jy ‘n item by ‘n supermark aankoop, ‘n plakker opsit wat sê ‘’reeds voor
betaal’’ en dit dan gaan terugsit op die rak.Om betrokke te raak, gaan na die Facebook blad:

To eliminate the potential to avoid estate duty, government proposes that an amount equal to the non deductable contributions to retirement funds will be included in the dutiable estate when a retirement fund member passes away.
Monthly medical scheme contributions tax credits will from 01 March 2015 be increased from R257 to R270 per month for the first two beneficiaries and from R172 to R181 per month for each additional beneficiary. Medical tax credits related to medical scheme contributions will be taken into account for both PAYE and provi-sional tax purposes.
Higher tax is a big issue. A few hundred less rand per month. Plus a higher fuel levy means that the fuel price will go up.
Ajay Gangadharan
If the 50c on the fuel levy goes to RAF, I will be satisfied that it is going to a good cause. Gov-ernment should educate people in terms of how the Budget is spent – this will help prevent
service delivery protests.Busisiwe Memela
FINANCE MINISTER
NHLANHLA NENE
Those earning under R181 900 a year – or under R15 158.33 a month – will find little comfort in being spared a tax increase because the fuel levy increase of 80.5 cents per litre from 1 April will be anything but an April Fool’s Day joke. Lower earners still need to travel to work, eat, buy new clothes and pay school-fees and have a lower percentage of discretionary income than the higher income earners who will feel their monthly R1,105 tax increase proportionately less.To add insult to injury, commuters are unlikely to see their increased fuel payments filling potholes, fixing traffic lights or being used to pull down gantries. Also, despite a R23-billion allocation to Eskom - with the first of three instalments due to be paid in June - load shedding is bound to continue, with job shedding, no doubt, to follow. An additional two cents per kWh will be required from paying consumers until, according to Minister Nene, the “electricity shortage is over;” but nothing was said in the budget speech about tackling illegal connections and no detailed plan or guarantees were given regarding keeping the lights on. The usual sin taxes on liquor and cigarettes were to be expected and so was the promised spending on infrastructure. The Finance Minister has budgeted R813 billion over the next three years for public infrastructure investment. This should be good news in the light of ageing water infrastructure, crumbling roads in many places and dysfunctional sanitation systems. So should Minister Gordhan’s “Back to Basics” strategy to fix local government and the R4.3 billion allocated to help him. These plans, however, are suspiciously close to the 2016 Local Government Elections. The promise to reduce budget allocations to “non-critical activities” is also hollow. Government-funded bashes at hotels should stop altogether - taxpayers cannot afford to pay for workshops and conferences that end an hour or two after a three-course lunch or that require delegates to stay overnight even when they live nearby.Sadly, not much attention was paid to protecting the new tax increases from being mis-used by govt officials. Only two vague little sentences were allocated to our country’s multibillion-rand-a-year corruption habit. “The fight against corruption remains a central priority. Additional allocations have been made to the Public Protector and the Financial Intelligence Centre for increasing their human resource capacity,” said the Minister. Yet, according to an Eyewitness News report, opposition parties attacked the decision to raise personal income tax, with the ACDP’s S teve Swart saying, “Rather look at corrupt and wasteful expenditure of R30 billion a year.”

Thousands of cycling enthusiasts will flock to Cape Town to participate in the 38th annual Cape Town Cycle Tour. The first race dates back to 1977 when a total of 525 cyclists participated. It started as a protest to campaign for cycling paths in and around Cape Town. A few decades later, a staggering 35 000 cyclists will hit the long route of nearly 110km.
Fun facts about the Cape Town Cycle Tour (www.capetownmagazine.com):
The men’s record was set by Robbie Hunter in 2008, who completed the course in 02:27:29.
The women’s record was set by Anke Erlank Moore in 2007, who completed the course in 02:48:29.
The fastest average speed of 47,48 km/h was set by Wimpie Van Der Merwe in 1993.
Penny Krohn set the record for the highest number of consecutive wins, 25, within an age group.
The oldest man to complete the race within the allotted time of 7 hours was Japie Malan, who did the race on a single bicycle in 2010 and on a tandem in 2012. He was 92 years old at the time.
Mary Warner is the oldest woman to complete the race within the allotted time of 7 hours, in 2006. She was 80 years old at the time.
AB stroked his way to the
fastest 150 in ODI history.
South Africa – 408/5 (50) vs West Indies – 151/10 (33.1)
South Africa won by 257 runs.
