“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

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

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 Pioneer North 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-

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.

Hi Readers,

Who can believe that we are already on the 20th Edition of the Pioneer North? We are grateful for all the feedback we are receiving. Your continued support is greatly ap-preciated.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 constitu-tion leading some analysts and civil society organisations 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 discrimination.

However South Africans rights are protected by the Hu-man Rights Commission who’s tasked to monitoring both pro-actively and by way of complaints brought before it, violations of Human rights and seeking redress for such violations. It also has an educational role in the South African society.It is hence up to the South African society to educate children about their rights.

INVITATION TO CITIZEN JOURNALISTS

Government News

Parents urged to educate children on their rightsDuring this human rights month government encourages parents and communities at large to educate their children on their rights as enshrined in the Constitution. Section 28 in the Con-stitution of South Africa is devoted to children and outlines the rights that they are entitled to.Acting GCIS CEO, Phumla Williams, said “It is important that children are cognisant of their rights. Government has played a signifi cant role in ensuring that there are relevant legislations and mechanisms in place to ensure children’s rights are not infringed. There are also government-led outreach initiatives that educate the public on the rights of children. However, parents and communities also play an integral part in punting the message.”Government calls on parents, communities and children to engage in conversations that promote the rights of children, and educate them on reporting any suspicions of violation of their rights.

“Parents should continually engage their children about issues such as rape, inappropriate touching, bullying, violence and abuse, amongst others. The important step is for a child to report any incident or behaviour that may be associated with the infringement of their rights.Children are encouraged to report such incidents to parents, teachers, or any person that they trust. Children can also call Childline on 08 000 55 555.

“Working together let’s continue making South Africa a better place to live in”.

New scholarship fund launched

President Jacob Zuma says the launch of the Solo-

mon Mahlangu Scholarship Fund further demonstrates government’s commit-ment to invest in education and freeing young people from economic oppression.President Zuma said the R20-million scholarship fund, a partnership between the Na-tional Youth Development Agency (NYDA) and the Department of Higher Edu-cation, was aimed at assist-ing excelling leaners from disadvantaged areas wishing to further their studies at an institution of higher learning.The launch of the Fund comes days after ANC Stalwart Mar-tha Mahlangu, mother of the late Umkhonto we Siz-we cadre Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu, passed away in hospital. She passed away on Wednesday, 12 March.“As we celebrate 20 years of freedom and democracy this year, we commit our-selves to ensuring that young people in South Africa would

live a better life than we did during our time, during the era of apartheid colonialism where education was used as an instrument of subjugation.“This occasion today, proves that the democratic government views educa-tion as an instrument of freedom and development.“We want access to qual-ity education to be one of the tangible fruits of free-dom for our youth,” he said.President Zuma said the fund was named after Mahlangu, who was executed under apartheid laws, at the age of 23, after he was wrongfully accused of murder and terror-ism, to honour his contribution to the struggle for freedom.“When he went defi antly to the gallows in 1979 at the tender age of 23, he left these powerful words.“He said: ‘My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them. They must continue the fi ght’.“Today, his blood is nour-

ishing the tree of educa-tion and progress, the fruits of freedom,” he said.The launch of the fund comes after the NYDA hosted the Presidential Youth Indaba on Youth Jobs and Skills, in Boksburg, a week ago, to track the progress made in implementing the Youth Employment Accord, which was signed in April last year by youth leaders, busi-ness, labour, government and the community sector.President Zuma said the core business of the NYDA had changed to focus on edu-cation and skills develop-ment based on studies that revealed that most young people in the country actu-ally derive their income from salaries and remittances in-stead of entrepreneurship.“The studies further indicate that the level of education and the quality of that educa-tion promotes the chances of employment for the youth.“Therefore, the NYDA’s new intensive focus on education and skills development is in line with the developmen-tal needs of young people.”He said the decision to launch the Solomon Mah-langu Scholarship Fund was also in-line with the NY-DA’s new strategic focus.Amongst the fi rst benefi cia-ries of the fund are some stu-dents who previously failed matric, but achieved top marks the second time around

after taking an opportunity to enrol for the NYDA’s National Senior Certifi cate Matric Rewrite Programme.“The youth is our future. We will continue to invest in our country’s future through

investing in education and training. We are investing in skills development so that we can produce the skills necessary to grow the coun-try’s economy and create jobs,” President Zuma said.

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

Africa’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 prov-inces 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 individuals to fi nd shelter and make their livelihoods in this province. This is demonstrat-ed by year-on year increase in the number of learners seeking education spaces in our schools. According to the 2-13 Mid-year population estimates released by Statistics South Africa, Gauteng population has increased slightly from 12.4million to 12.7 million.

It is for this reason that the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) continues to work on strate-gies that are aimed at yielding socio-economic benefi ts for all. Our response to addressing chal-lenges such as unemployment, poverty and inequal-ity are central to our business. There are continued and concerted efforts to accelerate service deliv-ery by implementing programmes and projects that leads to improved quality of life of our communi-ties. These include food security, youth employ-ment, Zivuseni, Bana Pele, Secondary School Im-provement Programme (SSIP) and Violence Against Women and Children (VAWAC) to name but a few.

As a way of demonstrating our continued commit-ment to improved social service delivery, Health, Education and Social 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 protec-tion 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 rev-enue are Gambling and Taxes, Motor Vehicle Licens-es, Hospital patient fees and other revenue streams. The conditional grants are mostly used for the Comprehen-sive HIV and AIDS grant (15%), Further Education and Training (4%), Education Infrastructure Grant (4%), Na-tional Treasury Services Grant (21%), Human Settle-ment Development Grant (26%), National School Nutri-tion Programme (4%), Public Transport Operations Grant (11%) and (15%) of the budget will be spent on Other.

AMD PuMPs cleAn uP WitWAtersrAnD

The newly installed Acid Mine Drain-

age (AMD) pumps in the Witwatersrand area is ex-pected to take the country a step closer in resolving the challenge of AMD.AMD refers to the out-flow of acidic water from metal mines or coal mines. The long history of mining in the Witwatersrand area has created the challenges faced by the country today.Water and Environmen-tal Affairs Minister Edna Molewa and Mineral Re-source Minister Susan Shabangu recently low-ered the state-of-the-art pumps into the newly built Central Basin Pump Sta-tion in Witwatersrand.

The pumps will convey the AMD from deep in the mine void to the surface, where it will be treated and made safe for the environment.The process will ensure that the AMD does not reach the environmental critical level, which is prescribed by legislation and will also guarantee the safety of the environment and people.Minister Molewa said the in-stallation of the AMD pumps was a short-term solution.“The full project involves the establishment of a new AMD pump-station, an AMD neutralisation facility (high-density sludge AMD treatment), and treated water and waste sludge pipeline.“When completed, this

should provide a perma-nent solution for the treat-ment of AMD in this ba-sin,” Minister Molewa said.The minister said about R319 million will be used for constructing and in-stalling acid mine drainage pumps, the treatment plant, and monitoring the shafts.“Once in place and fully oper-ational by end of April 2014, an average of 57 million litres of AMD per day will be treated and dis-charged into the Klipriver,” Minister Molewa said.AMD project to address challengesThis initiative will ensure that underground AMD in the Central Basin is man-aged at a suitable level so

as not to create adverse environmental and so-cio economic impacts. Some of the challenges include AMD affect-ing the water system, polluting groundwater, fields and rivers. Indirect effects are that ac-cess to clean water can be reduced, the health and wellbeing of the com-munity will be affected and the natural environ-ment will be damaged.However, as efforts are in-tensified to further manage the problem sustainably, a pro-active approach is re-quired to prevent further duplication of the situa-tion in other mining areas.“We will continuously

apply regulatory mecha-nisms for the adoption and implementation of long-term AMD/mine wa-ter management strategies by mining companies,” Minister Molewa said.Mining houses, way forwardOn the contribution by mining houses to the AMD, Minister Sha-bangu noted that govern-ment was dealing with the legacy of over 100 years. “Mining comes from a past where there was no liabil-ity on mining companies as they continue to pollute, it’s only in 1991 when the Min-erals Act was a liability im-posed on mining companies. We can’t charge who-

ever is here for what happened in 1896.“We are looking at for-ward movement on how we deal with this issue…we don’t license anymore, unless you have money,” Minister Shabangu said.She added that that govern-ment is also dealing with the current law, which talks about concurrent rehabili-tation, meaning that what they have in Witwatersrand can no longer happen in other parts of the country where mining happens.“As you mine you have to continue to rehabilitate, re-leasing the land to be used whether for human con-sumption or agriculture,” Minister Shabangu said.

South Africans called to celebrate Human Rights Day Earlier this month, it was re-

ported that Cabinet had called on all fellow South Africans to join in celebrating Human Rights Day which was held in Sharpeville, Gauteng on the 21st of March.President Jacob Zuma addressed this year’s Human Rights Day, which was held under the theme: Celebrating 20 years of chang-ing lives through human rights. “Cabinet calls on South Africans to celebrate living in a country that guarantees that never again will humanity be taken from any South African, irrespective of their race, gender, creed or sexual orientation.“We all have a responsibility to ensure that our human rights re-cord and history are preserved and strengthened for future gen-

erations,” said Acting Cabinet spokesperson Phumla Williams. The date 21 March was officially declared a public holiday in 1994, following the inauguration of for-mer President Nelson Mandela.On 21 March in 1960 police opened fire, without order, on a crowd that had gathered at the Sharpeville station to protest pass laws, stipulations that re-quired Africans to carry books and produce them for law en-forcement officials on request, 69 unarmed people were killed and another 180 were injured.Today, South Africans have a right to live in a country where their rights are protected by the consti-tution ensuring that never again will one be oppressed by another.

Minister Lechesa Tsenoli says despite the heavy rains that are causing havoc in certain parts of the coun-try, no province has been declared a disaster area.“No province has been de-

clared a disaster and the latest report as of yesterday was that provinces and their respective municipalities so far are coping with such instances,” he said, adding that it is still early to deter-mine the cost of the floods.The country has been hit by

heavy rains over the past few weeks which has led to flood-ing in certain areas, such as Lephalale in Limpopo.Minister Tsenoli was speak-ing during a Post State of the Nation Address briefing on local government recently.According to Minister Tse-

noli, provinces which are mostly hit by the floods caused by the on-going heavy rains are Limpopo, North West, Mpumalanga and certain parts of the Gau-teng province, while the Free State province has been placed on high alert as a re-

sult of water management and the catchment dams.Deputy Minister Andries Nel added that govern-ment is closely monitor-ing the floods situation through the National Di-saster Management Centre.“We’ve detailed informa-

tion on a municipality by municipality bases, the situ-ation in some of those mu-nicipalities is quite critical such as Lephalale in Lim-popo, where the municipal-ity is considering to apply for disaster to be declared at a municipal level,” he said.

“Mr X” expected to testify at the 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 protected witness’s safety would be in imminent danger if his identi-ty 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 testified.The man identified 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 testified, 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.

The quality of education maintained

Wellington Nobele

Schools around Gau-teng Province are de-

termined 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 North newspaper, San-drignham High School principal, Paul Mmethi, was very proud of his schools performance dur-ing the 2013 academic year. Sandringham attained a 90%

matric. “We were honestly hoping for a 100% pass rate from our learners consid-ering 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 educa-tion is the most power-ful 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 in-teraction is effective in producing good results. He emphasized that educa-tors need to be more involved in pupils’ academic lives, thus helping them to concen-trate on their studies and ulti-mately produce good results. He also wants to arrange workshops for learners that will prepare for higher education and gradually be ready for the world of work.

BASEBALL DEVELOPS IN SA

Wellington Nobele

“It has only been three years since baseball was intro-duced in Alexandra, how-

ever we have managed to signifi cantly develop the sport in our township re-gardless of the hardships we encounter in terms of

sponsorships”, those were the words of head coach of the Alexandra base-ball team, Tedius Ncube. The Alexandra baseball

club is an organization af-fi liated with the Gauteng Baseball Federation as well as the South African Baseball Federation. The

sport was introduced and developed in early 2009 by United States based, Sine Theame with the help of Cedric Chauke and Tedius Ncube who have dedicated their time and energy to the development of baseball as a sport in their community. On the 1st of March, 21 players from Alexandra, mainly from the under 15 division were selected to participate in the area pro-vincial tournament which was hosted in Edenvale. Even though the fi eld was wet due to rainfall, all the Gauteng sides played considerably well, however the tournament was not completed con-sidering the heavy rainfall Johannesburg has been faced with in March, mak-ing the fi eld intensely wet and impossible to play in.“My assistant coach Ced-ric and I will be attending

a Club Chairman’s meeting to see if we can have the tournament postponed to a later date soon as the rain grants us the opportunity to play on a nice and sun-ny day, Ncube explained.Ncube further explained that they are still in seri-ous need of sponsors as the team’s fi nancial state puts a lot of strain on them. “At this stage we need quite a number of things; we sometimes have a prob-lem of attending all league games because of transport, we still don’t have enough equipment and we some-times are not able to take all the players to their games as we can’t feed all of them. In most cases, we use what little we have in our pock-ets and sometimes appeal to the player’s parents to pledge a small amount for whatever it is needed for”, Ncube concluded.

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.
