What does a mountainclimber, a model, a

handful of radio and clubDJ’s, a house music bandand two Afrikaans mu-sic bands, a stylist, a TVpresenter, a former win-ner of South African Idolsand a socialite all have incommon? They have allpublically pledged to al-ways drive sober by par-ticipating in Drive Dry, anational responsible drink-ing campaign designed bybrandhouse, South Africa’sleading total beverage com-pany. Celebrities who havemade the pledge so far in-cludeAlex Harris, Die Heu-wels, DJ Olwee, DJ Roxxi,

calls on all South Africans tovisit the Drive Dry websiteand make a public pledgeto drink responsibly. Theapplication links to actualFacebook events and offersconsumers two options - topledge to either “drink andnot drive” or “drive and notdrink”. The aim of DriveDry is to change behaviouramongst consumers withregard to drinking and driv-ing. It also encourages themto make selecting a desig-nated driver an active part oftheir social culture, as wellas promotes the use of taxiservices and public transportwhen under the influence ofalcohol. brandhouse’s latest

Dry Drive launched in2006 with the objective toeducate consumers aboutthe implications of drink-ing and driving and chang-ing attitudes and behaviourtowards driving dry or notdriving at all.

call to action came withthe launch of Drive DryDay at the beginning ofJune 2013, where brand-house announced a com-mitment to donate R60 000to South Africans AgainstDrunk Driving (SADD) ifa target of 3 000 pledges isachieved by 1 July 2013.“The purpose of Drive Dryis not to stop people hav-

So make Tata proudbecause you actually can. This year is the 4th yearof the Nelson Mandela International Day (NMID)and it is going to be Tata’s 95th birthday.

This year’s focus is “TAKEACTION, INSPIREAND MAKE EVERY DAYAMANDELADAY,and it is not limited to shelter, literacy and foodsecurity:-May God bless Madiba, and we atPioneer Enterprises (Pty) Ltd wish him a speedyrecovery.

Street, Deville Street, New-clare Road, MaraisburgRoad, 10th Road, LolaStreet, Kathleen Street,Hamberg Road, HoofdStreet and Main Reef Road.The streets run through sub-urbs such as Bruma, JudithPaarl, Bezuidenhout Valley,Kensington, De WetshofExtension 1 and 2, Fairview,Industrial and IndustrialExtension 1, JohannesburgCBD, Mayfair and MayfairWest.Nthatisi Madingoane,the City of Joburg’s DeputyCommunications Director,said the process to renamethe road should be complet-ed by the end of this month.He said the renaming of theR24 after Ma-Sisulu, thehighly respected anti-apart-heid and adored communityleader who died two yearsago, was desirable to pro-mote the goodwill of peoplein the new South Africa. Hesaid this was a fitting hon-our to bestow on Ma-Sisulu,given the contribution she

made in the ushering of de-mocracy in this country.Ma-Sisulu was a politicalactivist and nurse and oneof the most important lead-ers of the anti-apartheidstruggle.Often referred to as the“Mother of the Nation”,MaSisulu acted on humanrights ideals throughout herlife, assisted by her husbandand fellow activist, WalterSisulu, who died in 2003.The renaming, being imple-mented through a phased-inprocess, is in line with theCity of Joburg’s policy onthe naming and renamingof streets and other publicplaces.Public notices were pub-lished in various newspa-pers in November 2008,inviting comments from allinterested and affected par-ties. Community memberswere afforded 28 days tosubmit comment on the re-naming exercise.Source: www.joburg.org.za

The process to renamethe R24 after struggle

stalwart MamaAlbertina Si-sulu is nearing completion.The renaming of the busy“airport road”, which strad-dles three municipalitiesand runs through severalsuburbs, started way backin 2007 when the GautengProvincial Government re-quested the City of Johan-nesburg to rename parts ofthe road in its jurisdiction– from Bruma in the east toRoodepoort in the west – af-ter Mama Sisulu.This was a continuation ofa process that had alreadybeen undertaken by theEkurhuleni Metro on sec-tions of the road in its juris-diction.On the City of Johannes-burg’s side, the streets thathave been affected includeAllum Extension, BroadwayExtension, Kitchener Ave-nue; Buzuidenhout Avenue;Market Street, Main Road,Central Road, Paarlshoop

Since the launch of anony-mous anti-corruption tip-

off hotline, Johannesburg Cityhas seen a dramatic increasein the number of tip-offs fromresidents which led to policearrests, court conviction, andsuspension of employees.This arose from JohannesburgCity Executive Mayor’s re-cent State of the City Address(SOCA). The City is supportedby an independent tip-offs linewhich operates 24 hours, sev-en-days a week and has beenoperating for eight months. Anindependent group, CorruptionWatch, has also pledged itssupport to the City’s efforts totake anti-corruption head on.The anti-corruption measurersinclude an independent anony-mous toll-free tip-offs hotline,an email address, and fax-linein all the 11 official languages.Since the establishment of thevarious platforms, the City hasreceived 457 complaints. Com-plaints of the residents rangedfrom service delivery-relatedissues to illegal water and elec-tricity connections.Balance of the complaintswas on irregularities and alle-

gations of fraud and corruption.Respective departments andMunicipal Entities (ME) hadto take appropriate correctivesteps in all complaints reportedto the tip-offs line. As a result,the City has started developingstrategies to increase capacityfor the forensic investigationsunit.The City is also working withthe South African Police Ser-vices unit, The Hawks, in someof the investigations.

Development departmentlinked some of more than400 young people whograduated from its YouthCareer Development Pro-gramme, with potentialemployers. The departmentinvited all 448 youth whohave since graduated from

the programme since 2008.Thanks to the success of theprogramme, some of theseyoungsters have found em-ployment in different City’sdepartments and director-ates such as in Administra-tion, Sports and Recreation,Capital Projects amongstothers. The graduates werefurther linked with some

of the country’s motiva-tional and well-knownpersonalities such as theSABC’s Weather Present-er Paul Monareng, LindaNtuli amongst others. Thegraduates were motivatedto look beyond getting em-ployment, but to be multi-skilled, consider volunteer-ism in order to acquire more

experience and to becomeentrepreneurs who wouldcreate many jobs for otheryoung people. “I was oncean intern too,” said theSABC Weatherman Monar-eng to the graduates. “Aftermy internship with Y-FM Ikept on going to the stationeveryday volunteering mytime. Well at the end of it, I

didn’t get a job at Y-FM, butbecause of my persistencea pharmaceutical companynoticed me and snatchedme. Try to get motivated ev-eryday because motivationneeds to be renewed every-day. Go out there and be thebest you could be.”Linda Ntuli, a renownedmotivational speaker andauthor told the graduatesthat having a positive at-titude can open doors forthem. “You need a positiveattitude in order to havepositive results. The qualityof questions you ask about

yourself determine whereyou want to be one day.Every great leader has beena great learner,” said Ntuli.Community Develop-ment’s Executive DirectorDudu Maseko shared withgraduates how volunteer-ism has opened doors forher. “I’m standing here asa testimony to tell you thatI was once where you areright now.By definition volunteer-ing mean you are givingyourself for free and manydoors can open in yourlife,” said Maseko.


INTERN GRADUATESMOTIVATED

More than 250 youthsrepresenting all mu-

nicipal wards, youth for-mations, municipal-ownedentities and city regions anddepartments gathered inJohannesburg to shape theway forward and take theirfuture into their own hands.The three-day JohannesburgYouth Summit held in Junesaw the young delegatesgrapple with weighty mat-ters affecting them or im-pacting on their day-to-dayexistence.The summit was held at St.Georges Hotel and Con-ference under the theme“Committing To A Promis-ing Future” The aim of thesummit was to encouragethem to become agents oftheir own “liberation”.They reviewed a number of

policies and strategies.They also deliberated on adiverse range of issues andcontributed to numerousdiscussions and forums.One of the major highlightsof the summit was the put-ting together of a YouthDevelopment Implementa-tion Plan over the next threeyears.They also reviewed theYouth Policy and Strategy,as well as the IntegratedYouth Development Strat-egy, which seeks a holisticapproach to the develop-ment of the City’s youth.The Youth Policy and Strat-egy makes provision foryoung people to take part indecision-making processesin the City.This participation is attainedthrough the establishment,

support and sustenance ofyouth development forumsin all municipal wards.Speaking to delegates, mo-tivational speaker and au-thor Linda Ntuli summedup the challenges faced bythe city’s youths – that ispeople under the age of 30,who number around 2.89million.“The youth of today facechallenges generations be-fore didn’t. The youth oftoday face challenges of un-employment, HIV andAids,child-headed homes, drugabuse and crime. But onlythey can make decisionsthat will change the future.By not allowing the sta-tus quo to be the order ofthe day, the youth of todaycan become an unstoppableforce,” he said.

The National Credit ActNo. 34 of 2005 (“the Act”)affords consumers certainrights in respect of thegranting and obtaining ofcredit.In terms of section 60(1) ofthe Act every adult as wellas every juristic personor association of persons(“consumer”) has a right toapply to a credit providerfor credit.However, in terms of sec-tion 60(2) as read with60(3) of the Act, the creditprovider is not obligated toenter into a credit agree-ment with any consumer,however, when decidingwhether to grant credit, acredit provider is not en-titled to unfairly discrimi-nate against any consumerwho has requested credit.Where the credit providerelects not to grant a con-sumer credit, such a con-sumer is entitled to requestadequate reasons for rejec-tion of their credit applica-tion.The Act also protects theconsumer once credit hasin fact been granted by acredit provider.Section 81(3) expressly

stipulates that a credit pro-vider may not enter into areckless credit agreementwith any consumers, underany circumstances.A credit agreement is reck-less where the credit pro-vider failed to:

• assess the custom-er’s debt re-payment his-tory and existing financialmeans;• assess the custom-er’s understanding of therisks and costs of the pro-

posed credit;• assess the pur-pose for which the creditwill be used;• ensure that theconsumer sufficientlyunderstood the risks andcosts associated with theagreement; and• regard whetherentering into the agree-ment would result in theconsumer becoming over-indebted.It should be noted thatconsumer’s have the ex-press right of receivinginformation in plain andunderstandable language.As a consequence thereof,the court may set aside therights and obligations ofthe consumer under thecredit agreement or sus-pend the agreement wherethe credit provider hasgranted reckless credit andit can be shown that theconsumer did not fully un-derstand the content of theagreement.Additionally, instancesof unlawful credit agree-ments include situationswhere:• a credit providercontracts with a minor,who is not assisted by aparent or guardian;• where the cus-tomer is a person who ismentally unfit or incapableof understanding the na-ture of consequences oftheir actions; or• a credit provider,who is required to be reg-istered in terms of the Act,is not registered as a creditprovider at the time of en-tering into a credit agree-ment.With regards to the feescharged by the credit pro-vider, such fees may notunilaterally be increased

nor may the interest ratebe varied -except wherethe agreement providesfor a changing interestrate.The regulations to theAct prescribe certainmaximum fees and ratesof interest, depending onthe type of loan. Howev-er, where the interest rateand/or fees being chargedby the credit provider ap-pear to be excessive, itmay be that the rate orfees charged are abovethe prescribed maximumand the consumer has theright to query such exces-sive charges.Finally, the consumermay, in certain instances,apply to a debt counsel-lor to be declared over-indebted and be subjectto a debt review.Once the credit provid-er has been notified ofthe debt review, in cer-tain circumstances, thecredit provider will notbe permitted to enforcethe credit agreement un-til such time as the debtreview is brought to aclose.It would be unwise, andpotentially very expen-sive, for a consumer toenter into a credit agree-ment without fully un-derstanding the conse-quences and financialimplications thereof.It is always recommend-ed that a consumer firstconsult with a respon-sible credit provider orattorney regarding theimplications of an agree-ment, before enteringsuch an agreement.

Alex Masters playedtheir Soccer League

Winter Cup semi-finalsrecently at Lombardy EastSports Ground, whereAsazi Bafana took on Chi-vas FC (over 33s). The

game was so tough thatboth teams ended up in adraw of 0-0 which led toextra time.Indeed Asazi Bafana FCneeded that extra time asthey came with fire duringextra time and managed toconceive 1 goal that madetheir day and got them

through the finals whichare going to take place onSaturday the 6th of July.“Iwas expecting a win; wehad to win in order to getto the finals. My play-ers played well althoughthe game was a bit tough.I am so proud of them”said Asazi Bafana coach,

Zweli Nkutha. “The 1sthalf was theirs and 2ndhalf was ours, so the gamewas tough and I think theirstrategy did work.I am so happy that wewon and can’t wait to

take on Sundowns nextweek in the finals,” saidAsazi Bafana captain,
