Wellington Nobele

Earlier last month resi-dents of Sydenham in

Orange Grove experienced a critical accident that saw a mini-bus taxi colliding with a VW scirocco at corner Dunnottar and 10th avenue. This accident left the wall fence of Mr. Angelo Bonan-no ran into and saw 12 peo-ple suffering minor injuries. Speaking to Pioneer Ex-

press newspaper, angry Mr Bananno said “this has happened more than once and to be honest with you, I have had enough.” It is said that it’s not for the fi rst time this kind of ac-cident happens in the area. In the past, many fatal ac-cidents have taken place that left my Bananno a vic-tim of damaged property. One of the few people who arrived at the scene

who spoke to the news-paper on a condition of anonymity said: “10th street is one of the longest streets in Orange Grove which has no traffi c lights, traffi c circles and speed humps making thus making it a convenient alternative route for speedy motorists,” our source only identifi ed as Max shared his opinion. It is alleged that Dunnotar and 10th avenue are noto-

rious for multiple car acci-dents and according to re-ports, a lot of accidents have been reported but casual-ties have been confi rmed.Following concerns raised by the residents regard-ing the safety of these two streets, Pioneer Express contacted ward councilor of the area, Steven Kru-ger, who confi rmed to the newspaper that he is very much aware of the

incidents that have been taking place in the area. According to the coun-cilor, several reports have been submitted to his of-fi ce requesting something be done about the safety of pedestrians and mo-torists on these streets. Councilor has also told the newspaper that he has approached the City of Joburg to launch an in-vestigation into the mat-

ter so that they can pro-vide traffi c lights, traffi c circles and speed humps. Victims of the accident have since been rushed to a hospital for treat-ment of injuries and by the time of going to press, Pioneer Express noticed that Mr Bananno’s wall has been re-build but de-tails of who was respon-sible for the reconstruc-tion remain unknown.

tain View, Sydenham, Fair-way, Victoria and Fellside. Duncan pointed out. Among those attending was acting Station Commander Lieuten-ant Colonel Mathepela Hla-kotsa and Sector Manager Constable Maloyhele. “We need your help to tackle these crimes; the Sector Manager and I patrol this sector as often as we can and we will do everything in our power to help combat these crimes but we need you to par-ticipate in the CPF’s opera-tions”, Hlakotsa explained.One of the speakers at the meeting was a motivational speaker Daniel Friedman who shared his story of crimes he and his family experienced while they were still residents of Orange Grove. “I personal-ly think Orange Grove is one of the most beautiful suburbs

in Johannesburg, but things were not always smooth sail-ing during our stay. My wife and I experienced three bur-glaries and my mother in-law was almost high jacked at gun point, we have now moved to Graighall park and life has now returned to normal”, he expressed. Daniel also spoke about how he wishes he had a better relationship with his neigh-bors which might have been a closer line of defense. “If I had made an effort of know-ing the people who live in our street better, we probably would not have had this prob-lem and surely we would have still been residents of Or-ange Grove”, Daniel added. Department of community safety representative Thabo Thipe who is responsible for community police rela-tions also added his views on the effectiveness of the community working to-gether to counteract crimes committed in their area. “We need to have sector crime community meetings to address what issues the police need to prioritise with and be full time members of the CPF as it is the lifeline for the SAPS, however this can only be achieved if we improve interactions with our neighbors because those are the closest people who can help you before secu-rity and members of SAPS

get to your aid, Thipe stated. The Norwood CPF plans to increase the number of CPF members as they be-lieve working together will help the community achieve their goal of mak-

ing sector 4 a crime free area.For more information on the Sector Crime Forum, visit: www.ncpf.co.za or call 078 014 2387. Organized by: Your Community Police Forum & Norwood SAPS.

The Norwood Community Police Forum (CPF) in

partnership with the Norwood South African Police Service (SAPS) held a sector crime meeting for sector 4 at the Linksfi eld Primary School to raise awareness on crimes taking place in and around the area. The initiative of the meeting was to discuss crime related issues that the com-munity of sector 4 is faced with on a day to day basis as well as providing solutions to combat these occurrences.Program Director and chair-person of the Norwood CPF Duncan Barker spoke to the attendees about issues they face within Sector 4 which covers Orange Grove, Linksfi eld, Linksfi eld North, Linksfi eld Ridge, Moun-

Hi Readers,

Who can believe that we are already on the 24th Edi-tion of the Pioneer Express, We are grateful for all the feedback we are receiving. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.South Africa has a liberal constitution that protects all basic political freedoms. However there have been a number of incidents of political repression as well as threats of future repression in violation of this consti-tution leading some analysts and civil society organi-sations to conclude that there is or could be a new climate of political repression or a decline in political tolerance.Human rights in South Africa are protected under the Constitution. The 2009 Human Rights Report by the United States Department of State noted that the gov-ernment generally respected the rights of the citizens, however there were concerns over the use of force by law enforcement, legal proceedings and discrimina-tion.However South Africans rights are protected by the Human Rights Commission who’s tasked to moni-toring both pro-actively and by way of complaints brought before it, violations of Human rights and seek-ing redress for such violations. It also has an educa-tional role in the South African society.It is hence up to the South African society to educate children about their rights.

CRIME PREVENTION MOBILIZED

OSCAR CRIES IN THE DOCK

Media 24 reported that Pretoria based Mur-

der-accused Oscar Pistorius cried in the dock on Monday (10th of March) as patholo-gist Gert Saayman described the head wounds of his girl-friend Reeva SteenkampPistorius sat in the dock with his head bowed and his hands laced behind his neck.He was shaking as Saayman de-scribed how a bullet entered Steenkamp’s head in the right upper part, and ran under the skull before it exited from

a second wound in the head.Steenkamp family friend De-siree Myers also sat with her head down as Saayman spoke. Two women next to her held her hand and comforted her.Pistorius sat gagging as Saayman said a bulk of the projectile went into the brain. Proceedings were briefl y halted to allow him to regain his composure.Judge Thokozile Masipa asked his lawyer Barry Roux if he would be able to proceed after the trial had to pause

at the request of Roux.“He is very emotional. It is not going to change. May I ap-proach him?” asked Roux.He spoke to Pistorius and re-turned to face Masipa and said: “He says he is willing that the evidence must proceed.”Saayman said Steenkamp’s body was naked when it was brought in for a post mortem. Her clothes were brought along with the body.Steen-kamp’s sport shorts had blood stains on them, and a small hole around 5mm in diameter.What initially seemed like a defect on the trousers turned out to be a blood spatter, said Saayman.A sleeveless black vest accompanied the pants.Saayman said small tis-sue and bone fragments could be seen on the T-shirt.Pistorius’s sister, Aimee, also silently cried as she watched her brother break down.Pistorius is on trial for

the murder of Steenkamp.He shot her dead through a locked bathroom door of his Pretoria home. He said he had mistaken her for an intruder.The State, however, argues that it was premeditated murder.Earlier, relatives of Pistorius headed to the dock where they prayed for him as he showed distress during proceedings.During an adjourn-ment his family huddled around him, holding his hand, and hugging him.Pistorius broke down and buried his head in his hands as the court was told that the evidence of Saayman, would be too graphic to publicise.The State requested that an order be granted for the audio of the proceed-ings to not be broadcast on radio or television.Pistorius’s ex-girlfriend, Sa-mantha Taylor and her mother Patricia Ann Taylor stared at him as he cried in the dock.Taylor testifi ed in the tri-

al last week. She alleged that Pistorius had fi red a gun in her presence before.Women dressed in ANC Women’s League regalia were also in court on Monday.Some of them sat in the bench reserved for the Steenkamp family.Spokesperson for the League, Jacqui Mofokeng handed out stickers bear-ing an image of Steenkamp.Last week, Gauteng Pre-mier Nomvula Mokonyane called for support for the grieving Steenkamp family.Also in the front of the court were friends of Steen-kamp. They too wore the stickers on their clothes.The President of Crime Stop-pers International, Alex Mc-Donald, and his second vice-president, Yusuf Abramjee also attended the proceedings.While the court had ear-lier appeared less fi lled, it was almost packed to ca-pacity by the adjournment.

GAUTENG BUDGET 2014/15Gauteng is home to just under a quarter of South Af-

rica’s population and contributes 36 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Because of its central location, it is also a gateway to other provinces and the rest of the African continent in terms of movement of people and goods. Increased economic activity through the public and private sectors create opportunities for in-dividuals to fi nd shelter and make their livelihoods in this province. This is demonstrated by year-on year increase in the number of learners seeking education spaces in our schools. According to the 2-13 Mid-year population esti-mates released by Statistics South Africa, Gauteng popula-tion has increased slightly from 12.4million to 12.7 million.

It is for this reason that the Gauteng Provincial Govern-ment (GPG) continues to work on strategies that are aimed at yielding socio-economic benefi ts for all. Our response to addressing challenges such as unemployment, poverty and inequality are central to our business. There are continued and concerted efforts to accelerate service delivery by im-plementing programmes and projects that leads to improved quality of life of our communities. These include food se-curity, youth employment, Zivuseni, Bana Pele, Second-ary School Improvement Programme (SSIP) and Violence Against Women and Children (VAWAC) to name but a few.

As a way of demonstrating our continued commitment to improved social service delivery, Health, Education and So-cial Development account for the lion’s share of the 2014 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget and lays the foundation for the improvement of education

outcomes, provide quality healthcare and building a hedge of protection for our vulnerable and affected communities.Gauteng is indeed a better place to live and will con-tinue to be as we direct our energies to live in and con-tinue to be as we direct our energies to addressing chal-lenges that confront us and sustain the momentum of delivering quality services. The following sources deter-mine the quality of services delivered to Gauteng citizens:• National Treasury (R85.608bn divided into R68.673bn equitable Share and R16.935 Conditional Grants)• Gauteng Provincial Government (R4.266bn)• Direct Charges (R69.63m)

Over and above this, other sources of provincial revenue are Gambling and Taxes, Motor Vehicle Licenses, Hos-pital patient fees and other revenue streams. The condi-tional grants are mostly used for the Comprehensive HIV and AIDS grant (15%), Further Education and Train-ing (4%), Education Infrastructure Grant (4%), Nation-al Treasury Services Grant (21%), Human Settlement Development Grant (26%), National School Nutrition Programme (4%), Public Transport Operations Grant (11%) and (15%) of the budget will be spent on Other.

RAIL NETWORK EXTENSION TO BENEFIT ECONOMY

“Increasing the rail network will not only relieve the country’s roads but will be good for the economy too”, Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba said.

Six thousand, four hundred and five kilometres of rail will have been replaced [on] the general freight, coal and ore lines, increasing the rail network by 149.7 million tonnes.

Existing logistics corridors will be expanded and new ones will be estab-lished, and 1 317 new locomotives and 25 000 new wagons will be procured (over the next five years).The move will improve the country’s capacity to in-dustrialise the economy as well as the ability to export manufactured goods.

“We will be able to increase our exports of coal by over 50%. Our abil-ity to move general freight on rail will have more than doubled in capac-ity and Transnet’s container handling capacity will increase by 75%. The dra-matic increase in our rail infrastructure will have a positive impact on our roads and will reduce the burden carried by many roads,” Minister Gigaba said.

WHAT IS AUTISM?Autism is a lifelong, complex condition that

occurs as a result of disordered brain growth, structure and development. Autism is believed to stem from a genetic predisposition triggered by

environmental factors and affects 4-5 times more boys than girls.There are a vast number of ways that a person can manifert their

autism and as a result this condition is now more often referred to as

“Autism Spectrum Disorders” (ASD).

Schools around Gauteng Province are deter-

mined to work hard in the 2014 academic year so that they can produce good academic results. In 2013, Gauteng came in third po-sition with 87 percent.Speaking to Pioneer Express newspaper,Sandrignham High School principal, Paul

Mmethi, was very proud of his schools performance during the 2013 academic year. Sandringham attained a 90% matric. “We were hon-estly hoping for a 100% pass rate from our learners con-sidering the schools perfor-mance in 2008 were a 100% pass rate was achieved, if they did it, so can we, but then again I guess we still

have some room for im-provement”, said Mmethi.Since the passing of for-mer State President, Nelson Mandela, who believed that education is the most pow-erful weapon that can be used to change the world, a number of schools have implemented policies at improving the quality of education in their schools.

Mr. Paul Mmethi believes that a learner-teacher inter-action is effective in produc-ing good results. He empha-sized that educators need to

“FET (Further Educa-tion and Training) colleges should not be taken for granted; the Department of Higher Education in part-nership with the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) have put aside R20 million for assisting excel-ling learners who wish to further their studies at an in-stitution of higher learning”, said Minister Collins Cha-bane who’s responsibility is performance monitoring and evaluation in the presidency. 14th March 2014, Minister in the presidency visited

Westcol FET (Western Col-lege for Further Education and Training) at the Rand-fontein campus to encour-age learners to enrol at FET colleges without fear as government is currently working on a plan to avail learnerships and internships for learners from FET col-leges exposing them to the workplace in government.Among other things, Cha-bane also echoed Finance Minister’s (Pravin Gord-han) words from this year’s budget speech that spend-ing on education is higher than any other item on the budget speech. Over the

next three years, R78 bil-lion will go towards uni-versity subsidies and R34.3 billion will be allocated to building new schools. A Communication Prac-titioner from the Govern-ment Communication and Information System Jacob Molete told the Pioneer Ex-press about living proof of the Governments initiative. “The main reason this post SONA (State of the Nation Address) dialog is held at this institution is simply be-cause we have ten learners who are now interns with GCIS”, said Molete. One of the interns who is expected to graduate at the end of June next year at Westcol, Ma-ria Phohledi said she feels proud that she was given this opportunity to be an ac-tive member in government. “I cannot wait to graduate, I am enjoying every second at GCIS. FET has worked for me, look at me I am now in Government, I would personally like to encour-age my peers or any student enrolled at a FET college to take things seriously be-cause opportunities to work in Gorvenment are avail-able”, Maria said proudly.Others attending the post SONA dialog was Faith Matshikiza from West-col, Nebo Legoabe from GCIS, Peter Gumede from GCIS and Francis Mahlangu from Westcol.

Mr X Heading to Marikana Inquiry

The SA Police Service submitted an applica-

tion to the Farlam Com-mission of Inquiry this month for a witness dubbed Mr X to testify in-cam-

era through a video link.Advocate Sesi Baloyi, for the police, said the pro-tected witness’s safety would be in imminent danger if his identity was revealed or published.

“Essentially, the concern that backs up this applica-tion is that Mr X will make allegations that implicate certain persons. Those persons are presently the subject of police investiga-

tions and pending crimi-nal proceedings,” she said.“There is a real concern that his testimony before this commission may expose him and his family to harm. As things stand, Mr X is

under witness protection.”Baloyi said the inquiry led by retired judge Ian Farlam had the authority to make such special arrangement for a particular witness.She said it was “inher-ent” for Farlam to exclude certain members of the public from the inquiry while someone testifi ed.The man identifi ed as Mr X was apparently part of a

group of protesting miners which underwent a ritual at Marikana that included the burning of live sheep on the

night of August 11, 2012.The rituals were a prepa-ration for a confrontation with police, according to documents in the SA Po-lice Service application.He would testify about “the killing and intimida-tion of Lonmin employees who were unwilling to take part in the violent strike”.Baloyi said Mr X’s name would be disclosed only to the commissioners of the inquiry, and lawyers for the wounded and arrested miners, but they could not disclose it to anyone.When Mr X testifi ed, SAPS wanted only the commis-sioners, lawyers, and ac-credited media to be pres-ent in the auditorium.The SAPS proposed that Mr X testify from a remote location.“Members of the public will-ing to listen to the evidence of Mr X may do so by listen-ing to audio transmission. The media reporting on his evidence should not identify him or in any way disclose his identity,” said Baloyi.

“Members of the public willing to lis-ten to the evidence of Mr X may do so by listening to au-dio transmission. The media report-ing on his evidence should not identify him or in any way disclose his identity”

A number of new kids on the music block dominAte the mAjor cAtegories for the lAndmArk 20th AnnuAl south AfricAn music AwArds – with some fAmiliAr fAvourites Also creeping into the running for sA’s most prestigious music competition.

The nominees for SAMA 20 were an-nounced amid great excitement and

anticipation at Sun International’s Car-nival City in Ekurhuleni this month.Newcomers Gangs of Ballet are set to rock the SAMAs with five nomi-

nations, leading the pack along with perennial dance darlings Mi Casa.Another two stellar fresh faces, Naima Kay and Nakhane Touré, have emphati-cally announced their presence on the scene with four nods apiece – including

three in the coveted top five categories.Also bagging four SAMA nominations are Mafikizolo, whose comeback release Reunit-ed has been crowned with nods for Best Pop Album, Best Collaboration, Duo or Group of the Year and Album of the Year.Former SAMA winners The Parlotones have made it clear that they have no inten-tion of slowing down any time soon by se-curing nominations across four categories.Joining Mafikizolo in the Album of the Year category are music acts represent-ing a diverse mix of genres: DJ Kent, Mi Casa, Naima Kay and Nakhane Touré.Another fiercely contested category is Duo or Group of the Year, in which electronic trio GoodLuck and Afropop duo Mafiki-zolo vie for glory with veteran rockers The Parlotones and newbies Gangs of Bal-let, as well as house favourites Mi Casa.SAMA 20 will once again see debutantes basking in the well-deserved limelight, with the Newcomer of the Year category contested among Gangs of Ballet, Nakhane Touré, Naima Kay, IFani and MuzArt.Kay also gamely steps up to the plate to compete with her more established counterparts in the Female Artist of the Year category: Judith Sephuma, Rebecca, Zahara and Dear Reader.

Similarly, fellow newcomer Touré will be hoping to stand his ground when it comes to the competition for Male Artist of the Year. He will be slugging it out with breakthrough singer-songwriters Connell Cruise and Matthew Mole, as well as more seasoned campaigners Vusi Mahlasela and Kabomo.David du Plessis, the Chief Operating Offi-cer of the Recording Industry of SA (RISA), said this year’s event will be special in more ways than one: “Not only are we celebrat-ing 20 years of South Africa’s premier mu-sic awards, we are also commemorating the country’s 20th anniversary of democracy.”Du Plessis said that as a symbolic tribute to the first democratic elections, which were held on 27 and 28 April 1994, the SAMA 20 awards ceremony will take place exactly 20 years later, on 28 April 2014, at the Sun City Superbowl.As always, all eyes will be on the Re-cord of the Year category, which is determined by a public vote. The nominees for this award will be announced shortly, after which fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite song and artist of 2013. Prepare for a thrilling contest!The Lifetime Achievement Awards, honouring the veterans and game-changers in the industry, will also be re-vealed prior to the awards ceremony.

SA’S MAIDEN ICC WORLD CUP VICTORY

Dubai, Mar 2: South Africa won its maiden

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup title when they de-feated two-time former champions Pakistan by six wickets at the Dubai Inter-national Cricket Stadium on Saturday (March 1). Fast bowler Corbin Bosch saved his best performance in the tournament for the title

match when he claimed four for 15, and wicketkeeper Clyde Fortuin collected six catches behind the wickets as Pakistan was bundled out for 131 in 44.3 overs after electing to bat fi rst.South Africa win ICC Un-der-19 World Cup The cham-pions South Africa ADVER-TISEMENT South Africa captain Aiden Markram then

held one end together as he scored an unbeaten 66 to guide his team home in 42.1 overs. Markram, who faced 125 balls and hit six fours, was well assisted by Greg Oldfi eld, who contributed 40 in a 71-runs partnership for the third wicket to help the side recover after South Africa was reduced to 28 for two. Markram was declared

player of the tournament for scoring 370 runs in the tournament, which saw him strike two centuries and one half-century. Pakistan’s de-cision to bat fi rst after win-ning the toss backfi red when it lost half its side before the 20th over. It soon slipped to 72 for seven in 29.1 overs before Zafar Gohar (22) and Amad Butt (37 not out)

managed to take their side to 131. This was the third lowest score in a 50-over fi -nal in the history of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup.Pakistan had scored 109 in Colombo in 2006 but bounced back to dismiss India for 71. In 2008, South Africa scored 108 for eight after its target had been re-vised to 116 from 25 overs against India. Pakistan was rocked by some inspired and quality bowling by South Africa’s pace quartet of Kagiso Rabada, Ngazi-bini Sigwili, Justin Dill and Corbin Bosch, who consis-tently bowled in the corridor of uncertainty and forced the Pakistan batsmen into playing false strokes. Sami Aslam (16), Imam-ul-Haq (12), Hasan Raza (15) and Kamran Ghulam (0) were all caught at the wicket by Fortuin, who later also ac-counted for Saifullah Khan (1) and Karamat Ali (1) to fi nish with six catches in the match. It is the fi rst time since Australia’s Dar-ren Barry in the inaugural event in 1988 that a wicket-keeper had taken six catches

behind the wickets, though Sri Lanka’s Charith Sylves-ter sits on the top of the tree when he dismissed eight batsmen behind the wick-ets (eight dismissals: four catches and four stumpings) in the 2002 tournament. After Rabada provided the vital breakthrough when he dismissed Imam, Dill picked up the prized wick-ets of Sami and Hasan be-fore Bosch ripped the heart out of Pakistan middle-order with some aggressive and accurate fast bowling. Bosch, the 19-year-old from Durban, bowled to a teas-ing line and length to return match fi gures of 7.3-2-15-4. Bosch fi nished the tourna-ment with nine wickets, while Rabada ended up with 14 wickets and Dill with 12 scalps. Talking about his performance, Bosch said: “It was great to get out there and give my best performance in the fi nal. I am so happy and to have played well for the boys and in the fi nal is just great.” The next ICC U19 Cricket World Cup will be staged in Bangladesh in 2016.

Talented kids who are training at Arthur Ashe

Tennis Centre have stolen the heart of one of the best tennis coaches in the world.An Israeli born Ronen Mor-alli, who has produced top international tennis stars such as Andy Ram, has con-ceded that he has “fallen in love with” the young talent displayed by Soweto kids.“I was impressed with the kids here, their talent, the respect they have towards their coaches. I was struck by how well-mannered they are,” said Moralli.Moralli recently visited the country and spent about a week conducting tennis workshops for the young athletes. He also spent time giving advise to the local coaches from 3 to 7 March.Under his achievements, Moralli discovered Andy Ram – who is famous for being the fi rst Israeli ten-

nis player to win a se-niors Grand Slam event. He fi rst won the mixed doubles title at the 2006 Wimbledon Champion-ships, together with Vera Zyonareva. Amongst others, he also won men’s doubles title at the 2008 Australian Open with Jonathan Erlich.Andy Ram who was once ranked number 5 in the world in the doubles and his playing partner Jona-than Erlich were both dis-covered and trained by Moralli from an early age.Moralli is passionate about discovering talent from the disadvantage areas. In Israel, he works at the Israel Tennis Centre, which has various facilities around the country. These facilities are aimed at giving opportunity to every child to play the sport of tennis, particularly focusing at disadvantage children.He said Arthur the Ashe

Tennis Centre was similar to the tennis centres he works at in Israel; which attracts amazing talent from the underprivileged children. Seeing underprivileged kids beating the odds is what at-tracted Moralli to Soweto.“I’ve been here for only four days, but my heart is here,” he said.

He said it was facilities like the Arthur Ashe in Is-rael which discovered Andy Ram, Jonathan Erlich, Harel Levy who once held the singles ranking of World No. 30 and Noam Okun.Moralli, who has coached many tennis stars for over 24 years, said in his career he has found that many of

the kids the society says are problematic are ac-tually the talented ones.“Andy was a problematic kid and was not behaving very well. I learnt how to communicate better with him. As his coach, our re-lationship deepened over time to become a father and son relationship. In the

24 years I’ve worked as a coach I don’t remember go-ing home after a tiring day without a smile,” he said.Now that Moralli’s heart is in Soweto, he hopes one day to have an exchange Programme with the kids training at Arthur Ashe Tennis Centre going to Is-rael to meet their peers.
