The department’s findingsfollowing thorough inves-tigations about the finan-cial status of M.C. WeilerPrimary School, has led tothe dismissal of the Princi-pal, Flacki Rabothata.“Yes, it is true that theM.C. Weiler Principalhas vacated the office on22 January after she wasfound guilty and given asanction of dismissal,”said the Gauteng De-partment of Education’sHead of Communication,Charles Phahlane.Phahlane told Alex Pio-neer that the principal wasinvestigated for financialmismanagement, under-went a disciplinary pro-cess, and was given sevendays to lodge an appealwith the MEC.“Her appeal was turneddown and she was givennotice that her serviceswere terminated, and wasgiven due notice of theoutcome of the appeal.She was again given suf-ficient time to pack her of-fice,” said Phahlane.In the mist of all these, theNational Association ofSchool Governing Bodies(NASGB) Chairperson,Milton Buthelezi said:“We were not informedof the situation and weseek clarity from the de-partment as NASGB as towhy the principal could befrog-marched from the of-

fice. This is really unpro-fessional. We will lodgeour concerns in writing.”Buthelezi further cited thateven other stakeholders ineducation were never con-sulted about the situation.“It is not true that the prin-cipal was frog-marched,but she was given suf-ficient time to pack heroffice. The matter is be-tween the employee andthe employer; howeverthe SGB of the schoolwas invited to the meetingsolely for governance pur-poses,” said Phahlane.“Ican’t respond to that,I’m in Pietersburg now.People have just jumpedinto conclusions aboutme,” the former principalsaid when asked for com-ment.Apart from the find-ings by the departmentthat led to the removal ofRabothata, Phahlane saidthe principal managedthe staff and the learningprocess fairly well, add-ing that the school has al-ways performed very well,and when she took over,she built on the founda-tion laid by the previousmanagers.“She assumedduties as the Principal ofM.C. Weiler effectivelyfrom 1 May 2005 to 22January 2013 and she wascoming from Ikage Pri-mary school in Alexandra.Mr. M.V. Manakana hasbeen appointed as the act-ing principal,” concludedPhahlane.

ALEXANDRAWARD COUNCILLORS’ DATABASE

Dear Reader,

It is never good to hear that some one has been firedfrom his or her job for misconduct, there aren’t anywinners. How ever, following the events at MCWeiler(principal fired for mismanagement of funds) it shouldbe commended that action was taken against corrup-tion and abuse of power.

It is important that those in charge are held account-able for their actions. This does not only set an ex-ample for other leaders but it allows for trust betweenthose in charge and the community to be built andaffirmed.

Yes, leaders also make mistakes, they are human, butit cannot become part of the culture. It cannot be thenorm to behave in such a way. And that’s where theproblem lies in our township and the country.

Having said that, I think it is crucial that we alsocelebrate those principals who have run their organisa-tions with integrity and passion. We see you and saluteyou.

Malobane who is also anexecutive member of GADFdispels the view that hav-ing GADF in this summitas partners constitute a con-flict of interest.“I don’t ben-efit anything out of this; theonly benefit that I will getis bettering the live of mypeople. There is no conflictof interest, my job is to raisefunds and make sure that thearea where I come from andwhere my constituency isbased becomes a success.”

ALEXTALKSLOVE

Matsatsi Mokwena, Alex Fm presenter and also known as a Ghetto Diva:AP: What is your personal experience of love?

MM: Of all the relationships that I had, I’ve experienced pain, jealousy, lust, pleasure, all explosive emotions but I think staying in a rela-tionship a bit longer was nice. After losing my child’s father through death I found love like the first time. Canoe diving, mountain climbing,

going to the movies, my adventurerous side was explored and all these made me to believe in love again.AP: How are you going to spend your Valentine’s Day?

MM: I’m not sure really, the person I’m with now is always busy. Also I don’t have an experience of spending a Valentine with somebody.

Lisha Lee, a young professional:AP: What memories of Valentine’s Day do you have?LL: Unfortunately for me every year towards thisday I break up with someone. The people I’m dat-ing don’t seem to match me; they say I’m too loudand forward. Unfortunately I can’t change who I am. Ithought opposite attracts but in this case repels.AP: So you are going to be alone this Valentine’s Day?LL: Yes and maybe not. I’ll probably go out with friends andmaybe I’ll hook up with single men.

Naomi ‘Valencia’Makole, caregiver:AP: How are you are going to spend your Valen-tine’s Day?NM: I’m a Valencia, I was born on the 14th of Feb-

ruary, so for me it’s a double celebration. I celebrateboth my birthday and the love that I get from my man.

Refilwe Khunou, Culturist and a court mediator:Alex Pioneer: Can you describe love?Refilwe Khunou: It’s a wonderful feeling that is in someone’s head and the body. It makes you happy, it makes you angry and makes youthink, it improves you and makes you stupid, and if you are a girl: you’ll bath three times and if you are a boy: you’ll comb your hair non-stop. It makes you do crazy things as it provokes all sorts of emotions. And I think is this stupidity that makes you improve as a human being.

AP: Any personal experiences?RK: Yes I have! I was crazy the first time I fell in love telling myself I’m going to marry this woman, she was the best thing ever happened to my

life. Wonderful feelings, dreams of having children with her and all that. But it never happened, I was very young.AP: How are you going to spend your Valentine’s Day?

RK: I’m not going to plan it. It should be spontaneous. They say prepared kisses and hugs spoil the spark.

The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who servedduring the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Val-entine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered

that he be put to death.

RAMATAMOWAMATAMONGThis month is popularly known as the “Month of love” as we celebrate Valentine’s Day on 14 February. This is the time when people show their appreciation to each other indifferent ways such as romantic getaways, gifts, messages of love and dinner for two. Others take the opportunity to be with their families.Alex Pioneer went to the streets of Alex to ask people what it means to them and how are they going to spend their Valentine’s Day?

PatentsIf you invent something that’snew and that involves an in-ventive step, you can get apatent for that invention. Theinvention will be new if it’snever been done anywhere inthe world before, and it willinvolve an inventive step ifit’s not obvious to someonewho’s skilled in that field.It’s possible to get a patenton all manner of things, in-cluding a mechanical device,an electronic gadget, anda pharmaceutical product.Certain things are, however,excluded from patent protec-tion, such as a mathematicalmethod, a scientific theory,and a work of literature. Acontroversial exclusion isthe computer program, butthis exclusion does not stopyou from patenting an in-vention that simply makesuse of software to achieve atechnical result. Another con-troversial exclusion relates tobusiness methods, the reasonbehind this exclusion beingthe importance of encourag-ing business innovation andthe belief that allowing pat-ents for business methodswill add a burden on tradeand industry. Once you havea patent on something youhave an absolute right to stopanyone else making or usingthe invention for a period ofup to 20 years.Registered DesignsA design registration may beobtained for various productfeatures, including productshape. Once again the designmust be new. The shape canbe either aesthetic (attractiveto the eye) or functional. Ifyou have a design registra-tion you have an absoluteright to stop anyone else us-ing it. The protection that youwill get will last between 10or 15 years, depending on thenature of the design.Trade MarksIt is possible to register atrade mark for the name orlogo that you use to identifyyour product, provided thatthe name or logo is distinc-tive. Once you have secured

TRADE SECRETS AND IP LITE (Final Part)a trade mark registration youcan stop others causing con-sumer confusion by using asimilar trade mark in relationto a similar type of product.Your registration will lastindefinitely, subject to thepayment of renewal fees ev-ery 10 years, and providingproof of use of the mark.CopyrightCopyright law protects allmanner of things includingwriting, art, music, soundrecordings and films. Copy-right law also protects com-puter programs. There areseveral differences betweencopyright and the otherrights I have discussed. First,with copyright there is noregistration, the right comesin to existence once the workis created. Second, there isno requirement of noveltyas there is with patents anddesigns, although there isa requirement that it mustnot have been copied fromanother source. Third, theright is more limited than therights granted by patents anddesigns - you can stop some-one copying your work, butyou can’t do anything aboutsomeone who independentlycomes up with the samething. The right lasts for along time - the period is 50years, and that runs from thedate of death of the creator inthe case of things like booksand artworks, and from thedate of release in the case ofthings like sound recordingand films.Trade SecretsThe law does give a measureof protection to trade secrets,but this a somewhat vaguearea of the law. If informa-tion is given in confidence,the law may impose a dutyon the person receiving itnot to use or disclose it. Thismay occur in an employ-ment relationship, and oftenthe employee will sign a re-straint of trade or confiden-tiality agreement, in termsof which they agree not touse the information for theirown benefit or for the ben-efit of another employer. Itmay also occur in a situa-tion where one party makesa pitch or business proposal

to another.Back to the storySo did the caller to the ra-dio station have any legallyprotected rights? He madeit clear on air that he hadn’tregistered any rights, butif he had sought legal ad-vice it’s most likely thathe would have registereda patent, provided that hisproduct was indeed newand inventive.It’s unlikely that shape

would have played a signif-icant role in the product, sohe probably wouldn’t havegone for a design registra-tion. He might have beenable to get a trade markregistration for his prod-uct’s name or logo, but it’sunlikely that this would’vehelped him in this case,because the bank could’veused a different name or noname at all.It’s very unlikely that hewould have had any copy-right protection. As fortrade secrets, there mayhave been a duty on thebank not to disclose theinformation if the infor-mation was in fact secret,but what he really shouldhave done is ask the bankto sign a Non-DisclosureAgreement (‘NDA’) beforemaking his presentation.This certainly would havehelped him establish thatthe information was givenin confidence.It really isworth bearing the NDA inmind.It can be a surprisinglyshort and simple docu-ment: it will acknowledgethat the information is be-ing provided in anticipa-tion of a possible businessrelationship; the companyreceiving the informationwill undertake not to usethat information for its ownbenefit; and the documentwill acknowledge that ifthe information is in factalready in the public do-main there will be no obli-gation on the company re-ceiving the information notto use it. The NDA’s notperfect, but in many casesit’s the only form of protec-tion there is.

On theother hand, a self proclaimed eco-nomic freedom fighter, Lerato, isfighting for economic freedom atthe wrong place.

‘Little one’ is the story of a 6-year-old girl named Vuyelwa who is left fordead in a field near a township in Johannesburg. Vuyelwa is found by a mid-dle-aged woman, named Pauline, who rushes her to hospital. After savingher life, it comes to light that the little girl has been raped and her face badlybeaten. To help her cope with the shame and disfigurement, Pauline makesher a mask to cover her face.

While Vuyelwa is in the hospital no one comes forward to claim her and thepolice are left with an unsolved mystery on their hands. Pauline becomesactively involved in the case and visits the little girl daily, despite her hus-band Jaco’s protests. A strong bond is formed between Pauline and the child,which leads Pualine to try and adopt her.

Determined not to let little Vuyelwa languish in the system, Pauline kidnapsher from the hospital and takes her home where she looks after her as herown flesh and blood. Jacob warms up to the little girl and eventually shebecomes a part of the family.

Pauline begins her own investigation and is helped by Detective Morena, asympathetic cop who is deeply affected by what has happened to this youngchild. Eventually, they solve the case and Vuyelwa is re-united with her realmother. This is a bittersweet moment for Pauline who has to now relinquishthis little girl that she has come to love and cherish as if her own.

‘Little one’ is a story about ordinary people living day to day in a poverty-stricken environment where despite the crime and tough living conditionsthere is still hope and love to be found.LITTLE ONE’will be released at cinemas on 26th April 2013 nationally

ALEX AFCON DELIGHTWeAsked You On Facebook:

So, what are your thoughts on Bafana’slast game?

Simon Alaska Sekhita: “They triedtheir best, well done to them, next timethey will go far”

Zweli Khanye Wozaweekend: “Mrman I can do better than Gordon hewas right to introduce Simphiwe forthe injured Parker then there he falteredwhen he introduced Majoro for Rantie,seeing that the game is heading forpenalties he should have introducedMphela his penalty takers we exhaust-ed. I was going to go for Sangweni,Simphiwe, Mphela, Gaxa and Serero”

Linda A. Memela: “They suck and asI said before, they are just hopeless.Gordon must just disband the entireteam and start from scratch with youngblood. We must give him at least fiveyrs to build a strong team. We must getrid of this dead wood”

Lukhanyo Nakho: “I loved it! Forthe 1st time I saw Bafana finding theirrhythm and playing as a unit! Inspiringperformances by Mahlangu, Furmanand Phala! Gordon has turned thisteam around in such a short space oftime. Big ups to him! We deserved towin that game, we were just unlucky!#BafanaBafanaAlways”Playing for peace-children played soccer during the launch of
