The Loate South African Police Service (SAPS) in Winterveldt, Tshwane recently conducted a

school search to ensure that schools are free from drugs and weapons.

This is a drive by the Loate Police; Communication, Social Crime, Sector Managers, Community Patrollers and Tshwane North School Safety as well as the Department of Education to make sure that everyone in the school’s premises are safe. Four schools that were searched in the Winterveldt area include; Dr Sam Motsuenyane Comprehensive School, Thulaganyo Secondary School, Abel Motshoane Secondary School and Tswaing Secondary School. At Tswaing, two Grade 11 learners were found in possession of knives. Police spokesper-son Captain Samuel Sebola warned pupils against bringing weapons to schools as they put their own lives in danger. “The knives were seized by the police. The Tshwane North Cluster will con-tinue with the school searches until our schools are safe,” Sebola said. The school’s principal said he will inform

the two learners’ parents and that they will be disciplined in accordance with the school’s code of conduct.

Sebola said in another unannounced raid, two learners were found in posses-sion of dagga at Thulaganyo Secondary School. “These learners were taken to the principal’s office. And will also be dealt with in accordance with the school’s code of conduct,” said Sebola.

Police arrested 3 suspects aged between 42 and 51 for extortion and impersonating police

officials. Captain Xoli Mbele spoke to Gauteng News and stated, “Our members were busy with their routine foot patrol crime prevention duties, at corner Jeppe and Small Street around 11am, when they spotted 2 males showing what appeared to be a police badge to the victim before searching him. Police stopped the 2 males and upon frisking them discov-ered 2 police rank structures in their position.”

In the second incident a suspect was also arrested for extortion and imper-sonating a police officer at corner Noord and Klein Street. The 42-year-old woman demanded passports from a couple and threatened to arrest them if they were not willing to pay a bribe. “The boyfriend didn’t have his pass-port on him and as a result the suspect solicited a R300 bribe”, explained Mbele.The couple reacted quickly afterwards and alerted 2 police officers who were closeby about what had occurred. The female suspect was arrested and the couple’s money was retrieved.

An investigation is currently underway and suspects will appear soon in the Johannesburg Magistrate Court.

3 Bogus police officials nabbed

A 33 year old man was arrested for raping a 33 year old woman by the Naledi local police

station. The woman who was raped by her friend was visiting the 33 year old man at his shack, and when the suspect came back from buying food, on his return, he found the female friend sleeping.Gauteng News spoke to Constable Dakalo Phemola from the Naledi police station, “The suspect has been arrested but no development has been made for the investigation”.

According to the police media state-ment, “A 33 year old man was arrested

on Tuesday for raping a 33 year old female friend. They shared a bed overnight. In the early hours of the morning he woke her up and raped her. He undressed her and forcefully pen-etrated her without her consent and offered to give her money. She further alleged that they were both sober. The police condemn any act of violence against women and we call upon victims of crimes of violence to come forward and report”.

The community is urged to report any criminal conduct happening in and around the area by contacting the SAPS crime stop line 08600 10111.

The Standard Bank Joy of Jazz festival will be kicking off this coming weekend and American

trumpeter Wynton Marsalis is currently in the country to take part in it. Heritage day was celebrated in a jazzy fashion at Walter Sisulu Square, on Tuesday, in Kliptown, Soweto where an intimate master class was held by the jazz legend.Themed Jazz for young people the workshop aimed to dispel the myth that jazz is only meant for the older genera-tion. The National Joy of Jazz Youth Band was in attendance, to drive this message home, and delivered a stellar performance. Comprising of youth from across South Africa these kids can really hold their own and make grown folks run for their money. Mr Marsalis took the audience through the process of composing jazz music from the genre’s basics to the most intricate aspects. Accompanied by his band Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orches-tra Wynton walked us through the initial bassline known as walking and fused it with other elements. “Jazz music is created when opposites are forced to come together”, he said as he introduced a more intricate element,

along with ‘walking’, known as swingin’. As the composition built up he turned it up a notch by playing his trumpet and ultimately drove the crowd wild. It was refreshing to see how the youth was interacting with the swingin’ professor as he delved deep into the technicalities of jazz. With more than 2 decades in the industry Wynton’s humility is inspiring. When Gauteng News asked him if he still

feels the need to improve his playing, being the established artist he is, he agreed. He mentioned how listening to his compositions drives him to work even harder more especially when fans bump into him in public and express how his music influenced their lives.

With so much drama going on in the world we could all do with a bit of smooth jazz music and add some

swingin’ to our walkin’.

Percy Maimela who hails from Winterveldt, Tshwane is a Guin-ness World Record holder after

creating the largest [25 square metre] sketch using nothing but coffee granules at Sandton City recently.Maimela created a portrait of popular South African house DJ Black Coffee. “I usually use salt for my portraits, but since I was doing a sketch of my role model, it was befitting for me to use coffee,” said Maimela.Born in 1985, the Pretoria self-taught artist, Maimela, discovered his love for art by accident. When he was working as a merchandiser at a retail store in 2004, he walked into the storage room and found some salt spilled on the floor. “I have always been able to draw, as I practiced art since primary school, but it was late 2015, when I decided to take it as a fulltime career,” said Maimane, who subsequently quit his job.After taking the career as a full-time artist in 2015, Maimela’s artistic dream has flourished and in his range of collection, Maimela has moved on to produce a series of captivating paint-ings/drawings of politicians as well as other well-known people such as;

Barrack Obama, Helen Joseph, as well as Steve Biko amongst others and most recently, Black Coffee.

He told Gauteng News that; on average a painting/drawing can take up to 4 - 8 hours. “In years to come, I would like to have three galleries and workshops to help those who need to advance their art and careers. That’s my vision.“As a fine artist myself, I clearly under-stand the challenges that young artists face – and since I was raised in a township, I also understand what it’s like to try and establish yourself beyond the borders of the main metropolitan centres,” said Maimela, whose work is set out to dazzle the world.

The Apartheid flag still has a place in SA

At the very sight of the old apartheid flag feelings of anger and resentment, among non-

white South Africans, are apparent. Lobby group Afri forum Head of Policy and Action, Ernst Roets, caused a stir last month when he tweeted a picture of the old apartheid flag after a judgement, in court, ruled against the public display of the flag. Last week he appeared at the South African high court, in Johannes-burg, after the Nelson Mandela Founda-tion had filed for a case of contempt against him. The NMF had argued that Roets was in contempt of court follow-ing his apparent tweet of the flag hours after the court had ruled against it. The verdict was delivered on whether Roets would face jail time or walk free and the judge ruled in his favour. Roets was relieved about the judgement and maintained that the display of the flag merely represents freedom of expression and a people’s heritage.“We expected this judgement. We would’ve been very surprised and very concerned if the judge had found that I have to be thrown in jail, as the NMF have argued, for tweeting a picture and

asking a question about the picture”, he said. Not too many citizens took the judgement kindly as they pointed out that the presiding Judge Lamont also ruled in Afri forum’s favour years earlier when Julius Malema’s singing of the provocative song ‘dubula ibhunu’ was outlawed. A clearly upset twitter user tweeted, ‘Judge Lamont rules for Afri forum again. Lamont is the same judge that found Julius Malema’s singing of kill the farmer as hate speech.’ With the verdict having been handed down the anticipation of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s response is imminent.

Thando Tshabalala is one of the finalists for the Miss Soweto 2019 beauty pageant and she’s an

inspiring mentor to young models across Soweto. She managed to donate 10 pairs of new school shoes at Sizwile School of Deaf Children in Dobsonville, Soweto and she also went to donate toys to day cares in her area. Tshabalala is the founder of New School Shoes Donation Drive for underprivileged learners who have never owned a pair of school shoes in their lives and the ones who are in need of new school shoes. “I have managed to donate ten pairs of new school shoes to ten disadvantaged learners at Sizwile School of Deaf Children in Dobsonville. I started the New School Shoes Donation Drive last year October when I identified the need of new school shoes by learners in my community. Besides being passionate about helping with projects that help to promote education, I started because I was bothered by the common issue children normally face in schools, which is verbal bullying faced by the under-privileged learners who do not have school shoes that are still in a good condition, which led to damaging those learner’s self-esteem, self-image and confidence.” – said Tshabalala The organization assists learners to

regain their confidence in going to school and help them to take brighter steps to their future. “In order for me to receive donations from the community, I made a poster for donations and reason being was to teach people the impor-tance of giving back and that one doesn’t need to be wealthy in order to make a difference but realizing that with what you have you can change some-one’s life. I also learnt the importance of giving back through pageantry, I have seen the impact it makes in the commu-nity”, said the pageant finalist. Thando targets schools as a way to identify the disadvantaged children who are in need for school shoes, she adds being part of the Miss Soweto 2019 finalists has provided her with a platform to reach out to the community and tackle social ills. Currently through her projects she is supported by Miss Soweto Prime and White Star and they have inspired and uplifted the communities in Soweto.

“I will be donating more new pairs of new schools to more schools in Soweto this year. By the grace of God I have managed to partner up with companies that have witnessed my hard work and would love to help with donating the new school shoes to my project. Those new school shoes will be donated to the kids this year in November”, concluded Thando Tshabalala.

The eKasi Entrepreneurs Summit hosted a Township Business Investment Summit and Expo at

Soweto Theater, Jabulani Soweto. The summit catered for all kinds of entrepre-neurs in the township and it offered a platform for networking and building database for their businesses. The summit opened with a saxophone performance by Bongani Radebe and the event was hosted by television personality Aaron Moloisi, and different types of speakers presented their businesses to the audience and gave keynotes on how to grow and sustain a

business. Okhela Ntsamai is the founder of Funding Strategist for Entrepreneurs and she gave the attendees a thorough presentation about the importance of funding and how to attract the right funders.

Ntsamai spoke to Gauteng News, “We need to be more innovation in order to be relevant and provide the best service to your customers. We take competition very seriously and we shouldn’t, we should take it as a challenge and better our businesses and services”. Businesses came with their stalls showcasing their services and products, and people were

encouraged to network and exchange information amongst each other. The CEO of eKasi Entrepreneurs, Elvis Sekhaolelo, addressed distinguished entrepreneurs and he emphasized the importance of growing the township economy and creating opportunities and service for the people. “There is a lot of funding available out there but entrepre-neurs must know that you must make yourself fundable rather than saying there are no funds. Currently as eKasi Entrepreneur we are supported by cooperates but we are in the process of receiving support from the government. With the 4th industrial revolution

entrepreneurs need to be more innova-tive by increasing their presence in the digital space and taking advantage of the opportunities that might come with it”, said Sekhaolelo.

Lebogang Nkosi, an entrepreneur who came to attend the summit hoping for funding for his business, “We always attend such summits but we never get the right avenues for receiving sponsor-ships for our business. There’s no difference with other summits we have attended and as entrepreneurs we always face red tapes and rejections to push our businesses”.

The City of Tshwane’s economic growth was given much needed attention at the inaugural

Tshwane Trade and Investment Summit (TTIS) held recently.

The summit focused on promoting direct domestic as well as foreign investment in Tshwane with great emphasis on business expansion and retention. The City is prepared to promote projects or investment opportu-nities to potential investors.TTIS secured R10 billion towards projects that will change the City’s economic landscape. “I am pleased to announce that the pipeline projects will create 6 700 permanent jobs. Most importantly, R100 million towards Rankuwa Smart City Development brings to fruition this administration’s commitment to change the economic landscape for the benefit of residents,”

said the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Stevens Mokgalapa.

He continued, “The development will be comprised of residential, commercial and industrial facilities. Economic opportunity is often located far from where job seekers reside. Through the Rankuwa Smart City, residents are provided an opportunity to participate in improving their economic and social circumstances. The residential, commer-cial and industrial facilities being developed in Ga-Rankuwa ensure better economic and social circumstances for the township.”

Mokgalapa concluded by saying: “Increasing this City’s business profile is key to spurring job creation. I look forward to welcoming more local and international investment partnerships such as this.”

What is heritage? A simple question that might conjure up different answers from

different people based on their under-standing of the concept. We live in a third world country called South Africa that has a rich history and a variety of cultures and races. Take a trip to the townships in Johannes-burg, for instance, and you’ll bump into something known as ‘ikota’. A half loaf of bread filled with slap chips, a russian, melted cheese, atchaar and topped with an egg – scrumptious! This mouth-wa-tering mountain of a sandwich has

become the epitome of township fast food. The equivalent of a bunny chow, mostly popular in Kwa-Zulu Natal, is available all over the country making it a conveni-ent and filling snack. The kota can be attributed to black Africans living in townships while the bunny chow is deeply rooted in Indian culture. But at the end of the day both cuisines are appreciated across the whole spectrum. The rural areas we have are rich in agriculture, which makes for a good scen- ery u s u a l - ly

found in travel and leisure magazines. The abundance of rainfall enjoyed by some of our provinces is conducive to the beautiful greenery that puts one’s mind at ease when enjoying the view from a lodge. The ghetto lingo is a reflection of our backgrounds and dates back to the early 1900’s when tsotsitaal was used to deceive unsuspecting victims of crime. Today this form of slang is part of our everyday discourse and is viewed as

‘cool’ by the youth.The question still remains, however, what is heritage? From what I’ve mentioned in the previous stanzas heritage can be viewed as a reflection of a country. South Africa has its heritage regarding history and politics and at the same time, South Africans have their own heritage that is influenced by familial settings.The consciousness that accompanies one’s pride in their heritage is nothing short of the term ‘priceless’. With that being said, ‘Happy Heritage Month’.

What is Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the current and developing environment in which disruptive technologies and trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the way we live and work. The fourth industrial revolution is growing out of the third but is considered a new era rather than a continuation because of the explosiveness of its development and the disruptiveness of its technologies. According to Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum and author of The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the new age is differentiated by the speed of technological breakthroughs, the pervasiveness of scope and the tremen-dous impact of new systems.

An array of people fear that the 4IR will bring drastic change and that robots may replace them in jobs, how does 4IR affect the employment landscape in South Africa?

Like the revolutions that preceded it, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has the potential to raise global income levels and improve the quality of life for populations around the world. To date, those who have gained the most from it have been consumers able to afford and

access the digital world; technology has made possible new products and services that increase the efficiency and pleasure of our personal lives. Ordering a cab, booking a flight, buying a prod-uct, making a payment, listening to music, watching a film, or playing a game any of these can now be done remotely.In the future, technological innovation will also lead to a supply-side miracle, with long-term gains in efficiency and productivity. Transportation and com-munication costs will drop, logistics and global supply chains will become more effective, and the cost of trade will diminish, all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth.

What is the role of South African Women in ICT Forum in ensuring that South Africans understand and take full advantage of 4IR to advance our society?

We strive to be pioneer and be thought leaders influencing and promoting the advancement, development, integration, participation of women within these industries. We are supported by the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies and the Deputy Minister Ms Pinky Kekana is our Patron. What we offer includes but not limited to:� Training (digital literacy)� Fourth Industrial Revolution

Entrepreneurship skills � Cybersecurity Awareness� Internet of Things, Data Analyt-ics, Digital Marketing etc� Career Development The training programme is intended to assist in meeting the following objec-tives of the Forum: Provide resources, education, career and professional development opportunities for women in the ICT industry.

How is SAWICTF positively impact-ing the lives of upcoming women entrepreneurs in the ICT sector?

The recently appointed SAWICTF Board recently launched a theme called “Lift As We Rise” with the Deputy Minister of Communications, Pinky Kekana, giving the keynote address. The theme, Lift As We Rise is not just a theme, it is the very value and essence of our organisation. We believe that we have to be taking women and youth along in practical, target oriented, value driven initiatives that will improve their lives and provide them with life-long knowledge in an ever-changing digital economy. Women constitute the major-ity in the country, and we want to derive benefit from the Fourth Industrial Revolution opportunities and those we give full support to women entrepre-neurs in the industry ensuring that they have access to information that will assist them to grow their businesses.

Luyolo Primary and Ebuhleni Primary Schools in Emndeni, Soweto, have not been having

electricity for almost four months and residents at the area are affected as the power box that supplies the schools and houses blew up in May this year. Residents reported to Eskom about the load shedding and they were informed an assigned team would come to change the transformer, however, till today the community of Emndeni still don’t have electricity.Nelly Dlamini a community member at Emndeni, “We haven’t been having electricity from May this year but I’m not really sure what caused the power box to blow up. Schools around our community are highly affected and even myself as a businesswoman it’s difficult for me to run my business. I sell cold drink but ever since the power cut I can’t operate my business and sell warm drinks, especially with the weather getting warmer”.Reneilwe, spokesperson from Eskom spoke to Gauteng News and added, “Part of the power cuts that occur are caused by illegal connections and consumers not paying for their electricity. We released a media statement that entails that residents who don’t pay for their electricity must start paying”.It is alleged that Luyolo Primary School is connecting illegally from a local business next to the school, how-ever, the power cuts in the area don’t seem to have affected the schools in the area.

Emndeni without electricity for 4 months

TC Esterhuysen Primary school in Langlaagte, Johannesburg, is at risk for learners as the school is

located next to a gold mine that has been shut down for years. Parents complain that the school fence is vulnerable and their children’s safety is at risk as the Zama Zama’s illegally operate at the gold mine. Sthembile Dakalo who is a concerned parent said, “We are worried about the safety of our children since the Zama Zama’s are operating next to the school and the state of security at the school is worrisome. The school lacks facilities and resources and we need the Depart-ment of Education to intervene and as-sist us”.The school is well known for its 100 years existence and the rich historical information it has. Steve Mabona who is the spokesperson of the Department of Basic Education said, “The Gauteng Department of Education takes school safety very seriously and has put in place various policies and measures to ensure the safety of all learners, educa-tors and relevant stakeholders in schools. The department has a solid partnership with the South African Po-lice Services (SAPS) aimed at linking schools with local police stations and the establishment of functional school safety committee”.The spokesperson added that the Lang-laagte Police Station is located around the area of the school and about 200 me-ters away from TC Esterhuysen, the po-lice will assist the school community in identifying and managing risks and threats in and around the school. Mabo-na concluded, “We are working on im-proving fencing to curb any unwarrant-ed incidents”.

Champs raises awareness

Child Health and Mortality Pre-vention Surveillance (Champs) organised a fun walk day for 5

km at Phiri Library, Soweto, to raise awareness for child mortality and what causes babies to die before or after birth. The organisation is concerned about the health of children and the causes of high death of young children. Duduzile Ziqubu who is a Grief Counse-lor at Baragwanath hospital said “Ac-cording to South African Statistics, 8 clusters in Soweto which include Zola, Meadowlands, Phiri, Senoane, Braamfis-cher, Mofolo North and Mapetla, areas are affected by the child mortality and from 1000 new borns, 50 to 51 babies

and specifically children from zero to five years are at risk. So what we did as Champs we conducted a research in the affected areas in Soweto and we made a door to door research in an effort to un-derstand their reasons of why and how mothers lost their children. We have a programme that focuses on how parents can avoid child mortality and we have a section for the community engagement and that allows us to engage with the community in regards to their experienc-es of losing a child”.

The Champs organization works with the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and in order for them to conduct a research, they need to ask for permission from the par-

ents and with their go ahead, they perform an autopsy that would assist in confirming the cause of the death. One of the major causes of child mortal-ity is pneumonia during pregnancy, germs that would surround the mouth of the womb and dumping sites in commu-nities. Sello Mokoena is Community Li-aison Officer “As Champs we have three components: South African Police Ser-vices that focuses on the perspectives of the community members, cultural fix and social interaction; HDSS which stands for Health Demographics Surveillance System. With the HDSS we try to under-stand the causes of deaths of young chil-dren from birth to five years and we rec-ognize that some child mortality is not

re-p o r t -

ed, by doing so we conduct a door to door campaign, however, parents usually don’t understand the causes of their children’s death and we try to assist them with such”. Residents of Phiri were part of the excit-ing 5km walk and after the exercise they received an aerobics session where young and old people were exercising for a good course and raising awareness for the child mortality. Champs partnered with Life Line for grief counseling and the public is welcomed to the Chris Hani Hospital for free counseling.

A memorial service was held at Se-fako Makgatho Health Sciences University in Ga-Rankuwa,

Tshwane, following the sudden death of a medical student, Hunadi Magongoa (20) on Thursday, 12 September.Family, students as well as all those who were close to Magongoa gathered to hon-our the departed young soul. One of Ma-

gongoa’s friends, Khomotso Morukhula-di told Gauteng News that Magongoa was a caring person. “She had a bubbly personality. And above all she loved peo-ple,” said Morukhuladi. The cause of her death it is believed to have been that of food poisoning after she had consumed food from the campus cafeteria. Acting Vice Chancellor Professor Olalekan Ayo-Yusuf said the university has since insti-

tuted an investigation by a multi-discipli-nary team, which includes an external expert. He said: “The report on the cause of death was delayed as more parties from the Department of Health and South African Police Service joined in on the investigations. The investigation will de-termine whether there is a link between Magongoa’s death and the food she [al-legedly] consumed at the student cafete-

ria. The institution has since appointed a new service provider for its student cafe-teria.” Mangongoa played for the univer-sity’s ladies football team and the institu-tion announced that it would name a prize on her name, to be awarded to a student who excels in sport. Magongoa was laid to rest in her home Province of Limpopo at Lebowakgomo on Saturday 14 Sep-tember.

MOVIELOSING LERATO

BOOK MUSICBLACK COFFEEMAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT

DJ Black Coffee has surpassed the saying ‘the sky is the limit’ by reaching horizons that are out of

this world. The DJ, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, continues to make South Africa proud with his international acclaim that seems to eclipse other musicians’ achievements. Black Coffee recently released a new single featuring American singer Usher Lalala and the downloads, as well as Youtube views, are increasing by the day. Black Coffee’s face appeared on New York Times Square alongside Usher after the release. As you can imagine, Twitter was hysterical with fans congrat-ulating the Disc Jockey who expressed his gratitude to God and vowed to keep churning out hits that will make a difference in people’s lives. ‘God, in my lifetime I’d like to leave people better than I found them with music…I just wanna make and play music’, read the tweet. This achievement is a reflection of how possible it is for anyone to achieve success in life irrespective of their background.

A successful, young black man who takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping his daugh-

ter after life, the law, and the woman he once loved separates him from his child. His actions put him on a collision course with that law, and he finds himself in a high-stakes hostage. Thami has recently lost his job at a top firm following accusations of fraudulent activities. This is the last straw for his wife Noluthando who, fearing a drop in her standard of living, abandons her marriage, taking their daughter Lerato with her.

Thami is desperate to maintain a rela-tionship with his daughter, while No-luthando does everything in her power to ensure that Thami is denied access to Lerato. After exhausting all known avenues, and desperate to be reunited with his daughter, Thami kidnaps Lerato from school, intending to flee Johannes-burg for Kimberley by bus. This is an ill-conceived move which angers Noluthando and puts him on a collision course with the law. Thami’s actions put his life, that of Lerato and their fellow passengers in danger and leads to a high-stakes hostage on the bus.

If the title doesn’t capture your eye at first glance then clearly you’re in denial of the topic at hand. The

cover, of this book, displays a door key and a small note with the words ‘life’ written on it thus manifesting the intended metaphor of finding the key to life. The author makes it clear from the first page that his intention is to engage you into making some serious changes in your life if you haven’t already. He likens the four seasons to the good and bad things that happen to people tempo-rarily in order to prepare them for their next level in life.

‘Greatness in this world is not the exclusive preserve of a few well-placed and connected individuals.’ As the quote suggests, every individual has the ability to become whatever they desire in life as long as their faith is intertwined with God’s word.Setting achievable goals and freeing your mind from negative thoughts is the first step towards mental and spiritual liberation. This book encourages spir-itual growth to a point where you visualize what you would like to encoun-ter in the future.

It was a Gauteng derby when Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Ladies Football Team took on

University of Johannesburg Ladies in the SAFA National Women’s League at TUT Main Campus in Pretoria West. The rivalry of the two teams was relived as the game produced a five-goal thriller for the lively crowd that came to support their teams. TUT Ladies got off to a

strong start, stamping their authority from the word go, by winning every ball and making UJ Ladies chase the ball. TUT Ladies found a breakthrough when Kholani Makhuwana was fouled inside the 18-area. The composed Gabonnelwe Kekana slotted in from the spot to give TUT a lead 20 minutes into the encoun-ter.The visitors who were winless in their first two league matches struggled in the first-half as it ended 1 – 0 going to

the interval. The tempo of the game resumed from where it left off before the break. TUT Ladies Captain Hildah Magaia made it 2 – 0 in the 47th minute after a wonderful interchange with Kekana.The wounded UJ Ladies were not deterred and fought hard to pull one goal back through Nicole Michael when she scored from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute. UJ Ladies passed the ball

around and looked to have found their rhythm when Banyana Banyana player, Amanda Mthandi equalized seven minutes later, after tapping in a Nicole Mi-chael’s cross to make it 2 – 2. It was all to play for in the remain-

ing half an hour. In the 90th minute, Magaia lead by example to seal the victory for the home side, making it three-wins-out-of-three in the league.Coach of TUT Ladies Sipho Mabuza was delighted with the performance of the ladies. “It was a good game. We showed character and didn’t want to disappoint the supporters who came to support us,” said Mabuza. Coach of the bottom rooted UJ Ladies Jabulile Baloyi said: “There is a lot of improvement from our previous games. The girls are starting to believe in themselves. The work we are putting in training is starting to show. It’s just that the results are not favouring us.”
