Skhothanes are young boys with “expensive taste”, who trash their expensive clothes, shoes, booze, etc, all in the name of showing off. Most Skhothanes are part of a group. These groups go head-to-head or rather label-to-label to show off who’s got more swag. These boys believe that being iSikhothane makes you stand out amongst crowds and their status is confirmed when girls fight for them. One Sk-hothane member belonging to “Sbuko”group which they say is the Top group in Daveyton said he has five different girl-friends from the same school. Once the Skhothane groups meet to challenge one an-other, things turn ugly. They exchange insults, and curses all in the name of coming out to shine. They said they al-ways have to leave a lasting impression. “This is in my blood. I love doing it and no one is going to stop me from doing it.” They took Vutha

News to the process of how they do it. “We split Ultra-Mel custard on the ground and write our group names with it and we compare with our gold teeth. Groups by group jive to see who can beat the other group.” They said they no longer tear or burn money because they are scared of the police. These Skhothane’s come from struggling homes but they don’t care less. One of the Skhothane, said “People hate us because Sk-hothane’s live a stress free life, we just spend. It doesn’t matter if the family is strug-gling, we are doing what we love and that’s all that matters. Even the girls go crazy when they see us and scream at our names. As long as we do what we love then it’s not a problem.” During our interview with the sk-hothanes, we could rather es-timate they are still under the age of 20 years and are still in High schools. They meet

up every Friday at Khumalo Shop in Daveyton immedi-ately after school.These boys pride themselves that so far Ekurhuleni region is the best in the skhothane game, es-pecially Daveyton. One Skhothane said normally when we go to Soweto to chal-lenge them, they wear sports outfit like Nikes, Addidas. ‘‘They are still young on us. I mean I wake up everyday with a Nike outfit. So they don’t really scare me off with their outfits and even a per-son who is not iSikhothane can wear Nike.” Rubs, who is no more a skhothane said the reason that made him to stop playing the game is due to the fact that he is now working and that he is now a father. “I started the game in 2008, when I was still in High school until the time I failed my Matric in 2010. I became a parent and I had to go work for my child. Besides, this game is done by scholars.”

Etwatwa Police Officer us-ing the state car for personal purpose. Vutha News source captured the picture in Ema-phupheni, Etwatwa Saturday the 22 of September 2012 around 10H45 after the po-lice officer had an argument with her partner and decided to move out of the house us-ing the state car.Vutha News asked, How do you feel about government officials using the state cars for personal use. See comments on page 4. Vutha News asked the Et-watwa police about the mat-ter and they responded by saying that these are just al-legations. “Our investigation reveals that the Etwatwa Po-lice were called to a complain

of domestic violence that happened between the cou-ple. When the police arrived on the scene, we established that the matter could not be resolved as one party was un-cooperative. The husband in-sisted that his wife must leave the premises and the victim was taken to a place of safety with her portable luggages,” said the police Constable of Etwatwa Timothy Masilela. Masilela said the police acted correctly by using Do-mestic Violence Act 68 of 1998, to protect the victim from any further harm that might escalate in the future.He denied that neither the victim or responded are members of the police.

Police have arrested four sus-pects aged between 26 and 38 at Mandela section in Etwatwa recently. It all started at Slovo Park, springs, after seven sus-pects armed with hand guns entered a supermarket on

gunpoint and demanded cash from a business owner. Thugs made their way out with un-disclosed amount of cash. Police responded speed-ily after being summoned on the scene. Four Suspects ran with a White Toyota quantum

which was parked a kilome-tre away from the scene. The Police saw the vehicle and chased it. The vehicle ended up being cornered by Etwat-wa Police at Mandela section, Etwatwa, where a driver lost

control of it and drived through the RDP house. Suzan Mabena (62) a pension-er who escaped unharmed was asleep when she heard a bang in her bedroom. Fire-arm which was most probably used to rob the supermarke t was found from

Business Robbers arrested after an RDP house stopped them

Etwatwa Police have arrested a 26 year-old man for being in Possession of Counter-feit Notes with the value of R18000, 00 (Eighteen Thou-sands Rands), during their operation around the area. This happened at Emaphu-pheni, Etwatwa recently. The Police were patrolling around the area then received a tip-off from the community about

a strange business conducted by unknown person who was selling R100 notes for R30.00. “On our arrival, the suspect attempted to bribe the Police. He was arrested for being in possession of counterfeit goods and bribery,” Said the Police Constable of Etwatwa SAPS Timothy Masilela. He will appear before Benoni Magistrate’s Court soon.

It is alleged the woman was on her way to work but labour pains forced her to withdraw her journey to work. She was taken to Trauma Centre in-side Etwatwa SAPS premises to wait for an Ambulance. It didn’t take a minute after entering the Trauma cen-tre when she started scream

ing for help while waiting for the ambulance. Etwatwa SAPS Administration, Mrs Lindi Skhosana came to her rescue. She assisted the woman to give birth. The child was delivered with-out any fault and was taken to Far-East Hospital for further medical assistance.

Help man find his family

The man (pictured above) was seen at Daveyton Po-lice station early this month. When asked his name he said he is Tshabalala. When asked further questions he could not answer. He only said he stays in Zenzele with his grandmother but cannot specify where exactly in Ze-nzele. If you recognise him or know of his family you can call the Daveyton CPF chair-person 074 752 4141 Ali or call our office during work-ing hours at (011) 420 0153.

She was born at Wattville 46 years ago then relocated to Daveyton two years back af-ter having arguments with her family about the family house their deceased parents left for them. Patricia Mthethwa is staying with her 5 children and her 5 grandchildren under one roomed shack in Mkhala-Zenke, in Daveyton. “I could not stay with my 10 children at home because I am not the only child at home. I have other siblings who also have their children. Staying at home meant we had to share the five roomed house with our children and that would mean we would be over crowded by now,” she said. I decided to move out with my kids for peace sake. As we were busy chatting, Patricia gave her grandchildren food that she got from an event she attended in the area. You should have seen their faces when they were given the food. “This is how we leave everyday-‘siyaphanda’ mean-ing ‘we are striving’. We share the little food we eat,” she said. Not having anyone

working in the family makes life even harder. Patricia said they live by asking food from their close friends and even to their neighbours as she only gets grant money for her grandchildren. “It breaks my heart that not even one of us is working,” she said. Because they are striving and Patricia could not afford to keep her children any more, she asked her close family friends to accommodate her children. “Not that I have abandoned them, I just had to make a plan for them”, she added. It is Patricia’s dream to stay with all her children all under one roof but the cir-cumstances do not allow her. “The shack we are currently staying under is leaking and there was no enough space to keep them. All I want is help of a house and a job so I can be able to keep my kids together, said the teary Patri-cia. When asked what kind of job she wants she said any domestic work.

Recently, Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in Dav-eyton organised a public campaign where its repre-sentatives from Daveyton, Noncebo home based care auxiliary workers and Csp’s (Department of Health)

were invited to be part of. Participants embarked on in-formation and condom distri-bution campaign and a total of 6 000 male condoms and 2 000 female condoms were

distributed. They also gave to taxi and truck drivers who were driving through the area. During the material distribu-tion a lot was noted. People are still shy to take condoms in public especially the males and some even refused to take condoms when they were handed over to them. They instead told the representa-tives that they do it the old fashioned way. One man, who was seen to be around his late 40’s said he is not using con-doms because it was made by whites. In his own words he said “White people don’t want use to have children.” He said he has never used a

condom and he will never use one now. Some elder people felt that it was disrespect-ful to give them condoms. Later during the day, so many challenges were identified that are facing residents of the area like Health-related

changes. It was realised that there are many default pa-tients of HIV/AIDS and TB due to the fact that there is no local clinic for the people in Zenzele to go to. When some

were asked why they are no more taking their medica-tions, the answer was that they do not have transport money to go to Chris Hani clinic as some said they are normally sent back home by the Dav-eyton main clinic. One was quoted saying going to Chris Hani clinic is expensive for her, since she is not working and it’s quiet a long distance if she would think of walking.

African philosophy has taught us that it takes a vil-lage to raise a child, and the fact that parenting and guid-ance does not only begin and end with ones biological chil-dren. A majority of South Af-rican homes see themselves been child headed homes, with mostly the eldest sib-ling been merely a teenager. With the streets been the next place were these children find shelter ultimately destroying

their lives, the church then becomes a place of refuge.ST Mathias Anglican church, under the leadership of Rev. Thabo Masweu, in Etwatwa east, has opened the heav-enly doors and embraces the orphans within the area, not only those who are church members. On a weekly basis is, particularly Wednesdays, it opens its doors to items as a feeding scheme, were the young ones with the com-munity enjoy a warm cooked meal. The project that has

been running for several years has also used the additional services as assisting children with doing their home works and assisting in peer pressure group workings, which also looks into items as playing games that helps develop the holistic child. Gladys Mpu-lampula, who is the events coordinator, ensures that the functions are well coordinat-ed. In a recent event that was held, the event saw young fellows as Tokolo benefiting from items that enriches him

to be a public speaker of note. The young fellow who is em-braced by the church is glad to be part of the programs as these keeps him busy and re-frains him from indulging in worldly substances. Tokolo says that the absence of youth centres around the area leads to many youth been lead astray. Themba interactive, an NGO based in Braamfon-tein has joined forces with the church. As such, they offer training to the youth.

One hand washes the other

The Career Exhibition took place recently at the Rhoo hlatshwayo Arts centre in Daveyton. Ekurhuleni Metro, FET Colleges, Independent Colleges, GEP and other pri-vate entities took part in the exhibition, and amongst oth-ers were UNISA(Daveyton) and NYDA. The institutions exhibited over the two days and very positive feedback was received from the stu-dents. Grade 10, 11, 12 pupils and teachers from schools around townships attended the event. The aims and objec-tives of the exhibition were to afford a platform and access to information for the youth on how they can carefully choose their careers that will suit them, to encourage and empower the youth to take

early informed career and subject choices, to bridge the gap between the learners and the higher education institutes and to expose the emerging local business/artists to op-portunities that are available. This exhibition was a plat-form for the learners and out of school youth to acquire in-formation on furthering their studies, bursary and learner-ships opportunities. Thandi Skosana of EMPD told the learners about different op-portunities in the department. “We don’t only write tickets for drivers, there are differ-ent departments to work in.” She told the learners that for them to be considered by the EMPD they need to have Ma-tric, drivers license, No crim-inal record, be between the

ages of 18-35 years and be physically fit. Tshidi, the So-cial worker of EMM(Health and Social Development) told the leaners to choose careers that match well with their personalities. The exhibition had a number of exhibitors and Learners were given a chance to speak to lecturers who explained what exactly is on the syllabus and what is involved in studying in a par-ticular area. Mduduzi Mdla-lose of Rhoo Hlatshwayo said “We are delighted to be host-ing the Careers Exhibition once more. The event was vitally important in show-casing the further education and career opportunities that exist for school children”.

What do you think of police officers who are using the state cars for personal use?

Thembeka MasekoI’m very sad to see a well-trained police man loading groceries in a public place like that, Police are not well trained in SA its embarrassing!

Bhekisisa KaMshenguThis is just not right. The police-man should hire his own transport like everyone. That way, it will be fair on everyone.

S’thembiso Emmanuelson Khu-maloIt is not allowed and the law clearly does not take any actions against these cops. Is it the rea-son why the state is taking our tax money and putting in petrol in those cars? Are they not supposed to be serving the community?

Funo NdlangamandlaOh my goodness. This is totally wrong, but what can we say because these people are working. I think we should expose them as some of these police officers “bajola ngazo.”

Etwatwa has a new school in the block called Phakamani Secondary School which was establish in 2009 with a motto that says “Arise and Shine”. On the 20th of October 2012 they held a ceremony at the Tshepo Themba wall offi-cially opening the school to the public. Various political party members, students of Phakamani, members of the governing body, the principal of Phakamani Mr Letwaba, Chief Director Advocate Ali

son Bengston Mali, District Director Moreen Mthimunye, IDSO Darling Shabalala, pastors and Clr Madihlaba were part of the memorable event. Clr Madihlaba encour-aged students of Phakamani to wear their school uniform with pride and respect one another. He also encouraged parents to prepare their chil-dren’s futures. Mr Motha (48), a maths teacher of the School said the reason the school was opened was because of the overcrowding learners in the Secondary Schools of Et-

watwa. When the school was opened they had 346 students and 9 educators, in 2010 they proceeded with no electricity for eight (8) months but that never stopped classes. They are looking forward to 2013 because they will have their first matric class, class of 2013 and they have hopes and wishes to have a 100% pass rate. Parents and students looked proud and happy about the schools mission and suc-cess that is coming their way.

Rolling the dice and play-ing card games for money at school is exactly what is hap-pening. Instead of taking their school work serious and fo-cusing on getting the satisfac-tory matric results, rolling the dice is all they do. Is it because school teachers are not doing their work, not attending to their classes or what. Vutha news had to intervene and find out what exactly is going on in the Secondary Schools of Daveyton. Daveyton learn-ers interviewed by Vutha News admitted to gambling or having seen their friends gamble at school. They play card games or roll the dice for money, with some saying they normally bunk classes to gamble. Former high school

learner Michael Mabuza ac-knowledges that gambling was common at his former school, Lesiba. He said it was distracting and adding that some learners were at school just to kill time. One learner of Davey Secondary said “It is disheartening to see fellow learners gambling from early in the morning. One learner in the school of Davey said they bet from R1 and the betting goes up every time. He said teachers always stop it when they see it, but learners just get back to it the moment they leave”. Vutha news found a group of students gambling at Kumalo Shop (Friday last week) wearing school uni-form. A 17-year-old grade 10 learner said he gambled for

lunch money as his family could not afford to feed him. One learner debated and said “It is not a lack of money that makes them play. “You find that some learners are hooked on drugs and, to sustain their addiction, they have to find extra cash through gambling.If they hadn’t received money from their parents, they wouldn’t have any to gam-ble,” she said.Vutha News tried to get the Department of Education to comment on the matter, but could not get hold of them. Vutha hopes the situation changes quick in the schools of Daveyton. We want to pride ourselves with good matric results and see MaVutha progressing.

If you were to enter into their workshop room, you would probably think they have dec-orated with imported goods from other countries. As the ever smiling Mam Hleziphi saw how mesmerised we were with the wooden work that’s in their office she proudly said “We do them ourselves.” What, are you for real? We asked. “Yes”, she repeated. “We do them ourselves.” The first question we asked was how long does it take for them to complete doing all the work. In her own words she said, “It all depends on what we do”. Just to take you through to what we saw. It was amongst other things 3 wood crocodiles, 2 upstairs man-sions with furniture inside it and next to them were a car ready to enter into a garage.

They are Siyakhula Services and Projects in Daveyton with only ten (10) members. With most of the members being unemployed, they decided to work with their hands. They do wood works, sew and do kitchen soups for the needy. “We are doing this because we want to grow from where we are,” explained Mam Hlez-iphi Mkhwanazi who is the secretary of the organisation. They meet every Tuesdays, “however if there is work that needs to be done, we meet up everyday,” she added. The or-ganisation started in 2001 and they are proud to have sus-tained in the corporate world for such a long time. Mam Hleziphi told Vutha News that not only are they work-ing for their own pockets, but they are also doing social

responsibilities every year in December. “We normally go around to the community, and even to our neighbours to ask if they can donate clothes which they are no longer wearing. We then afterwards call the needy people to come and pick clothes for them-selves,” She said. They love the work they do, but Mam Hleziphi said they are shot of wood. “We are appealing to the community to donate to us, and wood they might have,” she said. If you would like to help the organisation to grow please do not hesitate to call Bonolo during work-ing hours on 011 420 0153 or you can even call Mam Hlezihpi on 073 815 8709.

Etuka Legal Resources Centre held their final year event last week at Mbikwa Cindi Hall in Sgodi. Conducting the con-sumer educational awareness from the Department of Eco-nomics was Dikgang Dihole. He advised and warned peo-ple not to give out personal in-formation to people claiming to be sales consultants over the phone especially without seeing or signing a contract. He outlined the Consumer

affairs Act, 7 of 1996. Dik-gang also told the people at-tending the event that if they are not happy with the services they get from any shops, they must not hesitate to complain to the management. “After all, you are spending your money on them,” he said. “If you feel that they are not taking your complain into consideration, then you can take it further

to us.” He said although the process might not be as quick as desired, fact is you will be helped. “When you forward your complaint to us, do not expect to get im-mediate response as there are lots of applicants,” he said. Regardless of not get-ting immediate response, he assured people that they will get all the help they need.

MISS COLLISION ENTERTAINMENT AND PROJECTS WINNER

Nomathamsanqa is a young, vibrant and ambitious young lady, born and bred in Dav-eyton. She is an upstanding member of her community and winning the first title of Miss Collision 2012 has been one of her biggest achieve-ments to date. She won the Miss Mbabane Restaurant and Bar in 2011 and she also participated in Mr and Miss Unity Secondary 2010 and she made it to top 10. Vutha News Journalist caught up with Nomathamsanqa to find out what it means to be an ambassador for Collission.

Why did you enter Miss Collision?I entered miss Collision be-cause I strongly believed that I have potential to make it as a successful model. I wanted to participate on the pagent so that I will be recognised by big modeling agents but we all have to start somewhere.

What did it feel like when they announced your name as the winner?I felt as if I was in another planet, at first I could not be-lieve it but then again I real-ized that I am a conqueror and a winner.

What will you do during your reign as Miss Collis-sion?I am going to use this title to the best of my ability in try-ing to boost myself to be the top and a successful model. Again, I am going to encour-age other young girls around my community that have po-tential to be models.

How will this title change your outlook on life?It will change in a positive way, because I am now going to be recognised by agencies which is good for me.

What is your ambition?To become a model who will be working not only locally but internationally. I also want to share my success with young girls by owning a modeling agency because I am passionate about model-ing.

What advice would you give to an aspiring young lady out there?Success is not in plain sailing, It has storms that will want to lead you astray. But giving up is not an option. With a good mindset and a positive attitude anything can be con-quered.

Brains or beauty, which one do you go with?

I go for brains. With brains I will be able to be successful and earn money and once I have earned money I will be able to have beauty.

Collission manager, Jabu-lani Skhosana said he would like to thank the sponsors who helped out on the day. “I would like to thank Dark and Lovely for the hampers they supplied to our models, Rampage modeling agency for their one month contract for the top six winners, North Mead square shopping com-plex for their gift Vochers worth R600 and MSC for their school hampers for our top 5 models.
