As we wrap up heritage month, the month of Sep-tember the members of the communities have celebrated in different ways showcas-ing their various traditional wear and cultural dances and in this particular occasion, youth members from the community of Etwatwa east held a show at the Tshepo Themba community centre to

showcase their talents to the community and their parents taking pride into their tradi-tion and cultural clans. The groups performed dis-playing different cultures like the swati tribe and the Zulu tribe and they sang tribal songs from many South Af-rican tribes and the audience was overwhelmed by the talent that the young stars displayed and the level of commitment that they have

put into their performance. This showed that they were proud to be Africans and they led by example in showing other young people to spend their time practicing cultural dances and the group mem-bers said this helps them to have no time for crime and drugs as it keeps them buisy and aids them to make a dif-ference in their communities.

Heritage and pride

Mother’s work recognised

A man who had been reported to be defrauding unsuspect-ing and desperate house and stand seekers in Chris Hani of huge amounts of money was eventually arrested on

Tuesday (03 Sep) afternoon. The man was said to be us-ing Ekurhuleni Municipality Housing department’s letter-heads reflecting the director’s signature.

The search for the suspect was prompted by complaints received from the Housing department as well as from people who had been conned. A potential client of this Un-

scrupulous operator was used as bait and an appointment was set for a meeting. EMPD Public Order Policing Unit members pounced and the man was arrested. It is al-

leged that the suspect fleeced each “client” of R15, 000 to provide documentation he claimed made them eligible to acquire an RDP house. Fraud charges against the

38yr old suspect were laid at Daveyton police station. He was expected to appear in the Daveyton Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 04 Sep-tember.

As part of its Corporate So-cial Investment, EnviroServ Waste Management Ltd part-nered with Hygro Chicken Farming to offer community members in both Gautengand Mpumalanga skills in Chicken Farming. Each year a number of commu-nity members are identified who go through intense 6 – 7 weeks accredited training . At the end of the training in

marketing, chicken produc-tion etc, the learners are in-vited to an event where they are awarded certificates and medals. 2013 is no different, andthis year sees over 67 adults from Etwatwa, Daveyton, Springs, Delmas and otherareas in and around Gauteng and Mpumalanga receive their certificates and medals.The graduation ceremony

took place on Wednesday the 25th of September at 08:30 atEnviroServ’s Apex, Benoni offices. A total of 67 students gradu-ated at this year’s annual graduation ceremony. This is the third year that En-viroServ together with Hy-gro Chicken Farming Project have held this annual event. EnviroServ’s chicken farm-ing project is an initiative that

commenced in 2009 with the intention of opening up op-portunities in industries that these students would typi-cally not be involved in. To participate in the econo-my, we all need to be skilled. Present at the event where community leaders and other stakeholders. Hygro Training College man-agement was represented by Petronella Maphutha, Nico, Sonja Nel, Jan Nel Snr and Jan Nel Jnr. and Heibre Nel.EnviroServ EXCO made its presence felt, Maxwell Jwili, Esme Gombault, Delia La-varinhas and Des Gordon at-tended. Nadia Botha; and Sifiso Mn-guni from the company’s Training Department joined in the celebrations. Saras Chinsamy; Anne-Marie du Plessis; Solly Mathebula The speakers were very motiva-tional, urging the graduates to make most of their accred-ited qualifications and to take risks and be brave in pursuing their dreams. Des Gordon, EnviroServ Chief Executive spoke of En-

viroServ Waste Management as a leader in the waste man-agement industry. He said that “our CSI efforts are geared at creating mutu-ally beneficial relationships between our organisation and local communities around which we operate. This chicken farming project was thus a logical fit into our business. EnviroServ is especially pas-sionate about the following: Community development including job creation and Education, training and skills development” Heibre Nel of Hygro thanked EnviroServ for its financial assistance and the students for display-ing absolute enthusiasm. She said that “since 2009, EnviroServ has been funding the Hygro chicken farming project. The project has given people from surrounding communi-ties the skills necessary to establish viable farming busi-nesses. Through effective hands-on training, mentoring and proj-ect management, students

gain skills in animal produc-tion, farm business manage-ment, entrepreneurship and marketing. The goal of this project is to provide communities with skills to help them allevi-ate poverty, and ultimately to promote sustainable eco-nomic development in South Africa.” In her speech, one of the top students, Mrs. Basetsana Moloi said that she speaks on behalf of all the graduates when she says that with so many people be-lieving in them and willing to spend money on them to em-power them, she and others will not disappoint. She also thanked EnviroServ for paying for all the learners to go through the training as well as for paying transporta-tion for them to come throughand attend the graduation cer-emony. To date, a total of 183 people have gone through the pro-gramme and some have since established their own chicken farming enterprises.

EnviroServ encourages entrepreneurial spirit amongst local communities

The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE), MEC, Ms Barbara Creecy, gave a con-gratulatoy message on the last day of a five day Job Fair aimed at linking young peo-ple with prospective work op-portunities.The event organ-ised at Wembley Stadium in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, targets those who have been offered tempory employment and training as homework as-sistants and sports coaches by GDE over the past two years.

MEC Creecy said: “The de-partment responded to the President’s call to provide opportunities to unemployed youth in collaboration with the Department of Infrastruc-ture through the Extended Public Works Programme. One of the most significant factors in youth unemploy-ment is social marginaliza-tion that isolates job seek-ers from work and training opportunities. This Job Fair aims to assist young people to overcome isolation by linking those who have al-ready had work experience in GDE to prospective employ-ers. As these young people are now reaching the end of their contracts with the De-partment, we are trying to ensure they have other op-

portunities going forward the MEC explained. Forty differ-ent employers and training institutions are exhibiting at the jobs fair. these include state owned enterprises, FET colleges and government de-partments. Participants are expected to benefit in the following ways: To develop their resume and apply for jobs best suitable for their ca-reers. Qualified workers were expected to use ICTs to seek for jobs, not only in the coun-try but all over the world. Workers were exposed to dif-ferent careers and therefore matched their talents with what was available in the job market. Career guidance workshops were conducted to assist the workers to make the correct career choices.

Workers will be able to ap-ply for jobs at the exhibiting companies where there were vacancies. To receive profes-sional development oppor-tunities Prior to the Job Fair participants have had two years work experience in the department as well as formal training. To date the Department has provided basic training to 16 000 assistants and more advanced training to 3288 workers who qualified to re-ceive bursaries and attend part time classes at FET col-leges and Unisa. The ETDP SETA has been a significant partner in the delivery of this programme.

Originally from Limpopo, Godfrey Manana better known as Docxine left his home town at the early age to stay with his uncle in Dav-eyton. He grew up with a passion for singing. Meeting up with other passionate art-ists, they formed Accapella gospel group ‘Voices of Joy’

where they used to perform at church concerts. It was when he moved to Etwatwa to stay with his grandmother and mother when the group mem-bers went their separate ways. “We actually realised that we had different callings hence we went our separate ways,” said Docxine.

Although the music industry has been a tough one he had a prevailing spirit of optimism and worked hard to stay in the game. He has his single out and keeps his head up high to work hard on his album.

The City of Ekurhuleni, in its effort to build a sense of na-tional identity and foster civic responsibility, has launched a programme aimed at promot-ing community safety and by-law enforcement using young unemployed residents. The Peace Corps Volunteer pro-gramme has already seen the recruitment of 100 partici-pants who have been trained and placed in wards across the municipality. Hosted un-

der the Ekurhuleni Metro-politan Police Department (EMPD), the programme will see 1010 volunteers being en-listed as volunteers by the end of 2014. They will be enrolled at the EMPD training acade-my and receive basic training that will equip them for their duties. Those duties will, at this point, mainly be scholar patrol, by-law enforcement and educational campaigns. The programme equips un-

employed youth with skills and experience in the area of law enforcement with the aim of enhancing their employ-ability and motivating them to extend their knowledge in pursuing careers in the field. According to member of the mayoral committee respon-sible for community safety, Mthuthuzeli Siboza, the fun-damental goal of the project is to make Ekurhuleni a Safer place to stay in by training

young people in the com-munity who will serve as the eyes and ears of law enforc-ers, thus helping rid the city of various social ills within its communities. “The EMPD Peace Corps programme not only serves as a community defence mechanism but will also aid the city to make a difference in addressing the alarming unemployment rate,” explains Siboza. The recruitment of the 1010 is

ward-based, and 10 youths in each ward will be signed for a period of 24 months. A total of 100 recruits have already been trained and placed in their wards, another 250 will be taken in by the end of Sep-tember, December and March respectively. The last 150 will join between April and June 2014. Peace Corps vol-unteer Johannes Matlabe says the programme has brought about positive changes in his

life in a very small space of time. “We are learning how to maintain peace and order in our communities as well as other valuable life skills like how to serve in a respectful manner,” said Matlabe. Ex-ecutive Mayor Cllr Mondli Gungubele first announced the initiative during his State of the City Address in March, stating that R78 million would go towards the imple-mentation of the programme.

The newly developed South African Sign Language Cur-riculum is set to roll out for the first time in all South Af-rican schools for the Deaf in 2014. This development reaffirms South African Sign Language as the language of learning and teaching at all schools for the Deaf. The responsibility of provin-cial departments of education is to provide appropriate and relevant training to educators and class assistants at schools

for the Deaf to improve the standards of Deaf Education. Plans are afoot to ensure that the rollout of the South African Sign Language in Gauteng runs smoothly and delivered by adequately trained, competent and ac-credited teachers. The Gauteng Department of Education today hands over certificates to 115 educators and from schools for the Deaf and Officials who underwent training in South African Sign Language, NQF level 4. The training was meant to ensure that educators at these schools are adequately quali-fied to provide quality educa-tion in the most appropriate language understood by Deaf learners and in environments which maximize academic and social development.The training incorporated disability awareness, under-standing the linguistic fea-tures of South African Sign Language, Deaf Culture, edu-

cational techniques and mate-rials to support Deaf learners. Previously educators who re-ceived training in South Afri-can Sign Language had done so by means which were ei-ther self- initiated or through funding obtained through sponsorships by the schools. “The training provided by the department is a way of rec-ognising the importance of skilling educators in Schools for the Deaf in a structured manner that enables learners to access curriculum through the best possible means,” said Gauteng Education MEC Ms Barbara Creecy. The focus of the first rollout is targeted at educators in the foundation and intermediate phase. “We recognise that the majority of Deaf learners come from hearing families and for many of them their first point of learning South African Sign Language is at a school for the Deaf. It is for this reason that we

prioritised training for Foun-dation and Intermediate phase educators,” said Creecy. This initial roll out by Depart-ment is the start of improving Deaf Education and the De-partment will conduct regu-lar audits to determine which educators in schools for the Deaf still require training and the types of improvements that need to be made in future training. “We acknowledge that so much more must be done and that further skills development is a necessity in order for Deaf learners to reveal their full potential” added Creecy. The Department remains committed in ensuring that all learners in Gauteng ir-respective of their special educational needs do well at school and leave our institu-tions with the values, knowl-edge, skills and qualifications that will give them the best chance of success in adult life.
