LIFE AFTER RAPE
Ms Linda Maponyane will offi cially launch her book, Shadows of my scars (Soms) in April.
TEMBISA resident and com-munity builder Pastor Lee said she is living proof that there is life after rape.
Her real name is Ms Linda Maponyane and she is a domes-tic worker-turned author who was raped twice in separate incidents.
She is now on a warpath against the scourge of rape in communities. Come April 22, Ms Maponyane will offi cially launch her book, Shadows of my scars (Soms).
In the book, she details the events of the night she was
raped in Ebony Park.
She said she found healing through writing the book.
“The inspiration behind this book was my need for healing and the healing of other women. I also had the need to allow perpetrators of rape to hear the voice of their victims by read-ing the book, which I am in the process of getting to prison libraries,” she said.
Ms Maponyane said the highlight so far was getting calls from three sexual offenders who apologised for the pain they had caused her and other rape survivors.
She said for the launch of the book, which she published late 2016, she wants to focus on men.
“It’s time real men stepped up to the plate. Where are these men who we cry about? The men who violate and hurt us. Somewhere in South Africa right now, a little girl is cry-ing, malume uyangilimaza [loosely translated: uncle,
you are hurting me]. We need real men to take a stand and say not with my mother and defi nitely not with my daughter. Real men don’t rape. Hence we need the real men to say enough is enough,” said Ms Maponyane.
Asked how she thinks the country should deal with sexual offenders, Ms Maponyane said prevention is better than cure.
“However, for the men that are already broken. The law must take its course.
“Hence it is important for our women to re-port incidents of sexual abuse.
“Your health comes fi rst. Report-ing it is the
fi rst step to protect yourself. Pluck up any courage you may have left in you. Get up and go report. Do it for you,” she said.
She will engage with Tembisa high schools to educate young girls about protection against sexual predators and to report offences.

BABY RESCUED FROM BEING SOLD FOR DRUGSA baby boy, who was nearly sold to sangomas by his drug-addict mother, has found a loving home and was baptised last month.
The ceremony took place at Ka-leideo Church in Glen Marais and his "new mom", trauma counsel-lor Marietjie Smit, could not be happier.
William (not his real name) was born seven months ago in Tembisa Hospital. His mother is a drug addict who has been living on the streets of Kempton Park for 13 years. "On July 22 last year I got a phone call from a community member who asked me to come and help a woman on the sidewalk on the corner of Palm Avenue and Doringboom Street, as she was in labour," said Smit.
"When I arrived, the woman told me she thought the baby was dead because she hadn't felt it move in months. I put my hand on her stomach and started praying for her and the child. Minutes later we felt a kick. It was incredible."
"I think from that moment I unknowingly formed a bond with him and I am so grateful that God
spared his life for me to witness."Smit phoned an ambulance
and gave the woman her contact details. She was taken to Tembisa Hospital where William was born the same day.
"Later that afternoon I received a phone call from a security guard at Van Riebeeck Railway Station, saying I had to come there fast because someone was trying to sell 'my' baby.
"At fi rst I thought it was the wrong number, but then I remem-bered I gave my number to the pregnant woman and she must have had the baby with her. I rushed there and took the woman and the baby with me. She didn't want anything to do with the baby and asked me to take him."
Smit suggested that the mother and her baby stay at her house so she could be sure William was safe.
"As I held that tiny body in my arms, I swore to myself I would do anything to protect him, no matter the cost.
"I took the woman to the police station to sign an affi davit, saying she was willing to leave the baby in my care until we could fi nd him a home through welfare. I really
tried to help the mother but she didn't want to be helped and fell back into her old habits overnight."
Smit took the baby - who was only fi ve days old - to her doctor for a general check-up and the doctor was amazed at his progress.
The doctor said he was defi nitely a miracle baby as, with the amount of drugs in his blood, he should have been crying worse than an infant with colic. According to his new mother, "Until this day he has not been a diffi cult baby or had any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. He is crawling, has two teeth and can say 'mamma' and 'baba'."
Smit has decided to adopt Wil-liam.
"I would like to thank the community for all their love and support throughout this journey," she said.
William received 288 babygros, 300 pairs of shoes, three cots and fi ve baby walkers they had the privilege of donating to other needy families.
"He is defi nitely my little miracle and blessing from our great and Almighty God. I look forward to seeing him grow up to be the loving and friendly person he already is."

A 61-year-old woman was kidnapped from Kempton Park and robbed of her pension money on March 2.
Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha said the victim alleged that while she was walking on Monument Road at about 12 noon an unknown man approached her, just said “Mama” and then smeared her right hand with grease.
“The man then walked away without saying a word. After a few minutes a white vehicle stopped next to her. The
occupants of the vehicle introduced themselves as police offi cers.
“The vehicle’s occupants told her that they saw what the man had done to her. They produced police appointment cards and told her to get into their car. The perpetrators drove with her to Glen Marais and stopped at an open [piece of] veld and took the grant money she had withdrawn earlier that day from the bank.
“After [they took] her grant money, she was forced out of the vehicle," said Captain Ralidzhivha.
He said the suspects drove away, leav-ing the woman stranded in the veld.
Gogo robbed by fake cops
A man was found burnt to death with a tyre in Winnie Mandela Zone 7 on Saturday.
Captain Manyadza Ralid-zhivha said the man was about 26 years old and was burnt
to death at the Zone 7 soccer grounds.
“There is no information as to what happened.”
He said there was no one at the scene when SAPS arrived
and the suspects are unknown.Anyone with any informa-
tion is requested to contact the police.
Contact Tembisa SAPS on 011 926 2970.
Victim burnt to death with a tyre
Woman chases thugsA woman refused to submit to criminals who robbed her of her belongings on March 3.
Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha said the Clayville woman was alone inside a house when she was approached by two men. One was armed with a fi rearm and they demanded money.
"She was told not to make a noise or they would kill her. The suspects managed to take two cellular phones and a laptop," said Captain Ralidzhivha. He said the suspects ran out of the house and the woman ran after them to their get-away vehicle, a white Polo Vivo.
"She managed to grab her lap-top back from the suspects. The suspects drove off but she did not manage to take the vehicle's regis-tration number."
Captain Ralidzhivha said the woman sustained an injury and broke her right hand.
He said the suspects are un-known.
Anyone with further informa-tion is urged to contact 08600 10111 or SMS 32211.
Thief tries to hide from policePretending to be a car guard to hide from the police did not help an alleged housebreaker (52).
He was identifi ed from CCTV footage taken at the scene of the crime and promptly taken into custody by the Norkem Park SAPS on February 28.
Capt Lesibana Molokomme, the spokesman for the station,
said they received a complaint of a house-breaking in progress at 12.30pm.
A patrol vehicle was immedi-ately dispatched to the house, in Meeu Street, Birch Acres.
Molokomme said the domestic worker saw an unknown suspect in the lapa and called her employ-er. He then called the police.
The suspect was spotted in the parking area of a shopping centre in Maraboe Street where he "worked as a car guard".
He showed police where he had hidden a Samsung tablet and a chainsaw under long grass and bushes.
The man will face a charge of house-breaking and theft.

A 25-year-old woman from Difateng sec-tion was robbed of her cellphone and cash on March 2.
Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha said the victim alleges that while she was on her way to Tembisa Mall, in Endulweni section along Andrew Mapheto Drive, an unknown man approached her.
"He greeted her and started to talk to her. The man started to tell her [her] problems as a prophecy. Immediately a vehicle stopped next to them. The man in the car produced a card and said he was a police offi cer. The prophet switched from giv-ing prophecy to the woman and started to give prophecy to the man in the car," said Captain Ralidzhivha.
"The victim was then told to get into the car. The bogus prophet continued to give more prophecies to the man in the car."
"The prophet switched back to the vic-tim and told her that he will need money so that he can help her get rid of her problems. The woman got into the car and drove with the men to Tembisa Mall," said Capt Ralidzhivha. The victim went into the bank to increase her daily limit.
"As the queue was too long, she went to an ATM and withdrew her daily limit. She returned to the car. They all drove to Difateng section, where the prophet gave instructions to the driver and told him to go a short distance away while counting off nine houses. The fake prophet would pray in the process so that when the driver returned, he would be informed of his problems. The man was told to leave all his belongings in the car. He did as in-structed.
"The woman was also instructed to walk away, counting off nine houses and to then pick up a stone which she must return to the prophet. She did as instructed and when she returned the vehicle was no-where to be found."
Captain Ralidzhivha said the woman's money and her cellphone were taken by the bogus prophet.
Tembisa SAPS is investigating a case of general theft.
Robbed by fake prophet
A security guard appeared in court on Monday in connec-tion with the brutal murder of his 29-year-old girlfriend.
Sebeshi Zacharia Mojela (28) is accused of stabbing Priska Schalk (29) to death on Monday night last week.
The case has been re-manded until March 14 for a formal bail application.
Schalk was found hand-cuffed in a pool of blood on her bed in her Commissioner Street home, with two knives still lodged in her chest. More knives were found at the crime scene.
"It is believed the victim and her boyfriend were in-volved in an argument prior to the incident," Kempton SAPS spokesperson, Capt Jethro Mtshali, confi rmed.
After her body was discov-ered, police launched a man-hunt for the accused, who had fl ed to Limpopo, where he is originally from.
He was fi nally arrested on Friday evening after Kemp-ton detectives followed up on information received re-garding his whereabouts, and left for Limpopo the same
morning of the arrest. "Together with Limpopo
police, they managed to trace the suspect and arrest-ed him at a shopping com-plex in Mokopane," Mtshali confi rmed.
Both the police and the owner of the security com-pany confi rmed that on the day of the murder Mojela left work before his night shift was over.
He had been working as a security guard for this company since December 2014 and was deployed at a local school at the time of the incident.
"Our reaction offi cers usually conduct random site visits to where our security guards are stationed and when they arrived there that night, he was nowhere to be found. We phoned both his personal cell and his work cell but we couldn't get through," the owner of the company told Tembisan.
He added he was shocked to get the news about his employee, because all the time he had worked at the company, he was always "respectful and reliable".
"He was a good worker who seemed to get along
with everybody. So this re-ally came as a shock. And this is the fi rst time we have had such a case in the over 20 years we've been operat-ing."
He confi rmed a thorough security check was done of all employees before they were hired. Mojela came
out clean, with no criminal record or previous offences.
"The station commander of Kempton Park Police Sta-tion, Brig Bertha Kgoroba, praised the team of detec-tives who dedicated them-selves to fi nding the suspect following this brutal mur-der," Mtshali commented.

GIRL (5) PLEADS WITH FATHER
TO SPARE MOTHER’S LIFE
THE fi ve-year-old daughter of murdered Priska Thande-ka Schalk (29) apparently witnessed her mother being killed.
This is according to fam-ily friend Raele Lambani, who told Tembisan that the little girl was there when her father, Sebeshi Zacha-ria Mojela (28), allegedly stabbed Schalk to death on February 27.
The family lived together in a Commissioner Street home, which they were rent-ing.
“She apparently kept begging him not to kill her mom and kept saying, ‘No daddy, stop killing mom-my’,” Lambani said.
Lambani has known Schalk’s mother since 2001.
“Thandeka (as they used to call her) used to visit her mother during school holidays and after complet-ing matric, she joined her mother in Kempton to study fi nancial management at Ekurhuleni West College,” Lambani explained.
Schalk and Mojela fi rst met when she was a teen-ager, during the times she would visit her mom. Ac-cording to Lambani, Mojela at the time lived with his
mother where she worked as a domestic worker in Glen Marais.
By 2007/2008, the bright young Schalk had com-pleted her tuition and was searching for a job.
“She entered a learnership programme with Edcon, during which she performed very well and was hired permanently as a debt collec-tor. She was again recently promoted and was supposed to start working as a manager.”
Lambani also told Tembisan that the pair were in fact le-gally married, although Schalk had not changed her surname.
“They were married about six or seven years ago.
“I’m not actually sure if they had a wedding but her (Thandeka’s) mom told me they went to go sign at Home Affairs in Kempton.”
According to Lambani, Mojela completed a security course after matric and has worked as a security guard since. She says she is still shocked at what happened, as he was not a violent or disre-spectful person.
“I really don’t understand what happened.
Maybe they had some sort of problem but if they did, she never mentioned anything to us,” she says of the always bubbly Schalk.
“Thandeka was forever
Nolwazi Dhlaminiemail: [email protected]
smiling and kind, so we couldn’t tell if she was un-happy or not.”
The last time Lambani and her sister spoke to Schalk was late Sunday afternoon, the day before she died.
“My sister and her had a normal conversation and she sounded just fi ne.
She was even mentioning that she still owed my sister a lunch date.”
Schalk was buried on Sunday in her hometown Taung in North West.
She took fi nancial care of her mother, who is not per-manently employed, as well as her grandparents.
Their daughter is cur-rently in the care of her grandmother.
Mojela has been charged with murder.
The bail hearing is sched-uled for March 14.
The couple is seen here with their fi ve-year-old daughter. Pho-tograph: Facebook

TSHEPISA Primary School recently hosted two English teachers on a Brit-ish Council's schools link programme.
The two teachers from the United Kingdom (UK) came in February to facili-tate core skills workshops.
Oakwood Avenue Com-munity Primary School teachers Rachel Howard and Joanna Frank said the programme is run both in South Africa and the UK, so that teachers can share
skills and encourage good practice.
“The skills shared with the learners had a theme of gender equality through citizenship where learners were given activities and facilitators helped learn-ers to eradicate negative gender stereotypes,” said the school principal, Mr Martin Kekana.
“To the learners the programme also cre-ated awareness about the importance of being part
of the broader global com-munity.”
The principal said the programme helped to cast off the myth that children in other countries are bet-ter off and South African learners get inferior educa-tion.
He said the teachers seemed really impressed by the learners’ behaviour and dedicated attendance.
“These are some of the issues they struggle with in their own country. Here
TEMBISA CHILDREN IMPRESS UK TEACHERSthey marvelled at the in-teraction they had with the learners, despite the high number of learners we have in our classes,” said Mr Kekana.
“In the programme we look at the similarities and differences between the two schools and pay attention to the children's understanding of their roles within the family and the society at large,” said Ms Frank.
“We try and get the children to work in a team. They work together as a team to complete tasks and one learner is assigned to be an observer, where he or she observes wheth-er the learners are working well together,” said Ms Frank.
She said the observ-ing learner will thereafter report back to the class whether the team mates were co-operative, and also look at each group’s positive qualities.
That means the observer looks into the leader-ship skills of the groups’ leaders, and takes note of whether the leaders were able to make complex ideas clear to their respec-tive groups.
This encouraged them
to share ideas and working materials.
“We had a good re-sponse and the learners were very engaged. They worked very well together. We had this particular lesson where learners re-quested that we repeat an activity we did the previ-ous day,” said Ms Frank.
She said that the learners appreciated being able to work together and were excited at the opportunity to try something new.
“All the children par-ticipated but there was this one child who was reserved and pulled away from the crowd. We gave a camera to the child to take pictures of all the groups and that taught the children that when work-ing together everyone can have a role to play even if they are not hands on,” said Ms Frank.
“The main objective of the project was to teach learners creativity skills and collaboration. It was a success - children com-pleted tasks in the record time of an hour. Their teachers said prior to these classes learners would take longer to complete given tasks.”
She said that was a result
of children being involved and she was impressed that the children in turn brought materials from home.
Learner Tshepo Sebajane (11) said the ladies came to the school to teach them about the world and their culture.
“The experience was nice because they made us feel confi dent about art. I learned that I shouldn’t know about my culture only.”
“We took a lot from the lessons we ran here in South Africa and we are taking those lessons back to our school to share with our children. It’s been amazing,” said the other teacher, Ms Rachel How-ard.
“We were also driven for a tour around the township and a squatter camp: the South African cuisine is very nice.
"We saw women selling on the street and we had their 'millie corn'. We also got to touch and stroke a lion at a game park - very scary, but we were very excited.”
The school has been part of the programme for seven years and the teach-ers are looking forward to coming back.

Over the next couple of weeks I am tackling broadly the subject of leadership. This week, however, we deal specifi -cally with ethical leadership. Without ethical leadership, governments, businesses and even families fail dismally. In life, nothing is sustained or lasts long on lies. Without openness, transparency and truthfulness you cannot start anything that can be sustained over time, even beyond your life. What is ethical leadership after all? Leadership is the ability to lead towards a set of results, and ethics answers questions like “What is the best way for peo-ple to live?" and "What actions are right or wrong in particular circumstances?"
Ethical leadership is the kind of leadership that is directed by respect for ethical beliefs and values and for the dignity and rights of others. It is thus related to concepts such as openness, transparency, respect, truthfulness, trust, honesty, consideration, charisma and fairness. In the next section, I describe these elements of ethi-cal leadership in more detail:
1. Openness/ transparency Ethical leadership is based
on openness towards your staff, your clients/ customers and all business stakeholders, including trade unions (if your company is unionised) and suppliers. The benefi t of ethical leadership is
that it creates an environment of openness between all stake-holders. Embracing openness is that it also creates a positive vibe and incredible levels of commitment, especially among workers, clients and their busi-ness owners or shareholders.
2. TruthfulnessEthical leadership is driven
from the top level of the organ-isation. This means ethics are birthed from the top. Once the owner and top management be-gin to embrace ethics, this tends to run across all other levels of the organisation. Once this hap-pens, ethics becomes the culture in your organisation - leading to ‘truthful relations” between the business owner and other stakeholders.
3. RespectEthical leadership leads to
mutual respect and trust. This means that, if you as the owner are ethical, you will command respect and trust among your
staff. Respect and trust are some of the attributes every successful leader needs. In fact, there is no sustained success without trust and respect. How-ever, this leadership is driven from the top. If you are not ethical as a leader, your organ-isation will also be unethical and perhaps even corrupt. We all know that corrupt leaders or organisations do not survive or live long.
4. HonestyEthical leadership leads to
greater levels of honesty in your organisation. The kinds of things that kill organisations - namely, theft, fraud and corruption - are much lower in organisations where ethical leadership is predominant. Honesty is very necessary in business. Without it, organisations die.
5. TrustEvery organisation has stake-
holders like owners, staff, clients or customers and suppliers,
maybe even trade unions, share-holders or investors. The success of the business depends on the relationships and trust between these. If the union has abso-lutely no trust in the owners, this causes more and more strikes. If shareholders do not trust man-agement, then the organisation cannot succeed. Trust is a criti-cal aspect of business success.
6. MotivationEthical leadership leads to
higher levels of motivation among staff. We all know that staff motivation means higher levels of productivity and profi t-ability. Therefore, ethical leader-ship is key, especially among top leaders.
So ethical leadership is one of those foundations that are criti-cal for running a successful and sustainable business.
In order to help entrepreneurs and the youth of Tembisa to implement what we are learning via these articles, I have set up
what I call the Joseph Achievers Mentoring (JAM) programme. The programme is based on Joseph in the Bible, who rose to prominence despite his back-ground. I am encouraging all Tembisa residents to join. This programme is aimed at support-ing all residents of Tembisa but it targets mainly young entre-preneurs, young professionals, university students and high school learners. It offers a range of support initiatives including career guidance, training and mentoring. Many have enrolled and are receiving business man-agement training and mentoring. I challenge you to enroll for JAM in order to propel your life or your business to new heights. To register for JAM, send an email to [email protected] or call the numbers below.

LOCALS HAVE THEIR SAYResidents share their views about the recent violent scenes that seem to have be-come the norm in Parliament:
Ntsako Maluleka said, “I am not happy with the National Assembly Speaker - she is not suitable for the position as she takes sides with the ruling party. The violent scenes that are happening prove she is failing as a leader in Parliament. And the country will suffer long-term repercussions. And what are they teaching the young generation of this country? That violence is the answer to resolve issues? Violence has to stop in Parliament.”
Mr Bax Kubayi said, “Corruption is very high in the ruling party - let them fi ght until they resolve their differences. Opposition parties cannot tolerate the corruption that is happening in the rul-ing party. Violence or no violence, these parties should govern us equally and adequately.”
Mr Ocean Baloyi said, “The cycle of violence in Parliament takes us down as a country and we will suffer the consequences. How are they going to fi ght against violence in the communities while they are fi ghting publicly? Their behaviour sends a clear message to the rest of the country on the kind of citizens we want to be. We already abused by criminals on the street force-fully taking our belongings and robbing us through the same violence.”
Mr Matimba Shimange said, “Slowly but surely we are losing value as the country through these type of behaviour that are even practised in Parliament. Our country is going to be notorious for violence, cor-ruption and crime. We will be seen not as a united country. Instead of our leaders to fi ght to bring back dignity to this country, they are fi ghting for their own corruption and to cover each other’s backs. Violence shows no morals.”

MIAMI Hair and Beauty Salon owner Mr Solomon Moloko opted to open his own business in November last year after he lost his job.
The Maokeng entrepreneur, who studied electrical engi-neering, said he has a passion for business and has always wanted to work for himself.
"Unemployment is high and the only way to make it in life is to start working for yourself and to grow in business. I've got lots of ideas about small busi-nesses that I can pursue but I need to make sure that my salon is well sustained before ventur-ing into other business plans," added Mr Moloko.
"After my job expired, I felt it was time to do something for myself and grow in business. However, it was not easy to get a right place of high visibility
where my targeted custom-ers would be able to reach the salon. And again, I had to work hard in planning the salon for my customers to feel comfort-able and make it a place they want to visit," said Mr Moloko.
This father of two sons also wants to help in job creation once his business in full gear.
He has currently employed one person to attend to cus-tomers and is also hoping to employ a manicurist who will help with manicures, pedi-cures, polish and sculptured nail services.
Mr Moloko urges unem-ployed people to think posi-tively and to create their own small businesses instead of whining about unemployment.
He further encourages young people to go to school and avoid alcohol, drugs and crime.
Buddibox is a new entrepreneurship pro-gramme coming to Tembisa.
It is an initiative funded by the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) to address challenges faced by matriculants who have passed their 2016 National Senior Certifi cate.
"The entrepreneurship programme is focused squarely on development and job creation – it’s a programme that trains up 18- to 35-year-olds to become entrepre-neurs who ultimately become fi nancially emancipated," said Buddibox CEO Isaack Lesole.
"The 442 672 matriculants who passed their 2016 National Senior Certifi cate (NSC) exams are now faced with big deci-sions about their careers and job opportu-nities and for many the future looks less than promising."
Mr Lesole said fees didn’t fall and, with-out a tertiary degree or a job in a country with one of the highest unemployment
rates in the world, these youth all too often become trapped in a destructive downward spiral.
"These young people become a burden instead of positively contributing members of society."
He said Buddibox is a unique product which gives retailers and manufacturers the opportunity to deliver household prod-ucts (and services) to greater township communities.
"The launch phase is currently being piloted in the City of Ekurhuleni with long-term plans to roll out nationally.
"The service is managed by youth - referred to as 'Buddis' - from within the community," said Lesole.
He said the the programme has launched with 100 Buddis, but the goal is to have 2 024 Buddis operational by March and at least 10 000 in Gauteng by the end of 2017.
"As the face of the organisation, the Buddi’s responsibility is to engage di-rectly with the consumer (200 allocated households in a ward), using direct sales to secure orders, capture data and build profi les of the families they cater for. They will need to manage this relationship and develop the trust of the community," said the CEO.
He said Buddis will canvas communities by walking door to door introducing the service, building a rapport with the house-holds they are responsible for and securing
future repeat orders. "We will give them access to branded
tuk-tuk vehicles which will be used to deliver provisions from the Local Distribu-tion Centres (LDC) to the various homes they service in the ward."
Lesole adds that prospective Buddis can now start applying for consideration, but he cautions that to be accepted onto the programme they must have a matric certifi cate and no criminal record.
"Perhaps, more importantly, they must be positive, driven, motivated and ambi-tious self-starters who are entrepreneurial-ly minded and want to be in business and economically independent. Buddibox is seeking unemployed and unskilled young people with a view to transforming them into academically empowered entrepre-neurs."
He said a partnership has been estab-lished with the University of North West and it’s compulsory for each successful Buddi to study through the programme.
“It’s hoped that, through the opportunity to earn and develop skills, those who work with us will go on to become the big busi-ness leaders of tomorrow, leading fulfi ll-ing, successful lives because they make life-affi rming choices today. In so doing they will build a brighter future for them-selves and the larger community in which they live and operate,” says Lesole.
“While it’s expected that the programme will contribute towards township eco-
nomic revitalisation, we believe it will also reduce prevalent social ills like crime, drug abuse and alcohol addiction.
Any fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) can be acquired for the family shopping basket - from toiletries to fresh produce. All the transactions happen via an ecommerce platform. A cashless ex-change has been set up using online apps and eWallet, thereby ensuring the safety of the Buddi and removing risk.
Buddibox will effectively bridge South Africa’s digital divide with this approach," he said.
He said offering more than just retail on wheels, Buddis will also gather data from each household that is relevant, accurate, current and verifi ed. Satisfaction surveys, service delivery checks, gathering brand research and consumer insights are other services on offer.
"This basket of services will grow as the program’s network matures and expands.
The program is intended to work along-side existing spazas and tuck shops and will not wipe them out.
Where communities may buy a loaf of bread from the spaza – using Buddibox they can place big monthly orders for sup-plies that are cumbersome and diffi cult to carry using public transport,” explains Mr Lesole.
Prospective Buddis can apply for con-sideration via an online portal at http://www.buddibox.co.za/buddi-registration.

The beginning of the end
Toyotally impressive C-HR landsIT seems like every other week I take to the old
keyboard with news of another crossover or SUV entering the South African market. However,
when a brand with a massive local footprint such as Toyota decide to launch its own iteration of a compact crossover, you can bet that everyone wants to know more.
I recently drove the newcomer on local soil and realised that this car is more than just a Toyota crossover, it’s a shift in the way the company thinks in terms of design and engineering.
For a brand that has been known for its conservative offerings, the C-HR, which stands for Coupe High-Rider, simply does not conform to Toyota’s styling conventions.
how bold the designers have been with the exterior looks. It is really very similar to the concept in terms of its actual form, although I’m sure Toyota's design team will tell you that it is very different.
Up front, there’s no mistaking the Toyota corporate face with references to the RAV4 and
with a swooping door line which drops towards the
The rear-end meanwhile droops so much that the door handles are located at the top of the door within the C-pillar. That wilting rear-end does mean that rear passenger space is not ideal, though not entirely unpleasant.
Looking at the car from the rear, the protruding light clusters and flared lower bumper gives it an impression of width, creating a sportier
one marketing term that actually encapsulates the overall design very well indeed.
and while the interior is certainly not traditional Toyota, it is thankfully more restrained.
The entire car is centred on a diamond shape theme, so expect diamond motifs around the cockpit.
Besides this, the rest of the interior is quite traditional with dark materials, glossy black
over the more over-the-top interiors we’ve seen in crossovers previously.
Build quality is solid with an upmarket feel to the switchgear and components. The general ergonomics are functional and all seem to draw you attention to the infotainment system which features USB, iPod, Bluetooth and CD/DVD compatibility.
I have to say, being a vehicle for millennials and being a millennial myself, I found the interior to be refreshingly simple compared to other cars whose cabs are too edgy in the pursuit of being
compromised in terms of functionality.
Let me start off by saying that I have now found a CVT gearbox that doesn’t entirely annoy me. You see, these gearboxes have been the bane of my motoring journalist existence with their frustrating drone. However, in the C-HR, the brand’s latest 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine works well with the CVT.
The little motor has a modest 85kW/185Nm on offer, yet there is minimal lag and good overtaking power with both the six-speed manual or CVT. Fuel consumption is claimed at 6.3-litres/ 100km for the manual and 6.4-litres/100km for
closer to 8.0-litres/100km.
The combination of a peppy powertrain, a solid platform courtesy of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) and a well-tuned chassis makes the C-HR a fun car to drive. I was pleasantly surprised when driving our locally
have 17-inch wheels, two airbags, ABS, USB port,
traction and stability control, electric windows and cloth upholstery to name but a few. It’s safe to say that Toyota has come in with a more cost-effective line-up rather than offering the top-of-the range models we drove in Spain last year.
The C-HR is a step in the right direction for Toyota. As a brand with such popular products and already established customer base, I feel it is important for them to venture (pardon the archaic pun) into a new segment that appeals to more youthful buyers.
The C-HR is certainly a car for this generation,
right powertrain. Just bear in mind that South Africa has been allocated just 150 of these a month, however, there is a stock pile within the country at the moment. So if you want one, best you order one as soon as you can.

The beginning of the endTo see the latest pics and videos go to www.autodealer.co.zaOPINION
MANY OF us are of the belief that all good things must come to an end at some point. For drivers that might be sooner rather than later as I discovered after driving the tech-laden BMW 7-series recently.
You see, the 7-series is packed with electronics designed to make driving as safe as possible. Like the movie i-Robot, the only way to make something really and truly safe is to remove the human factor completely. Let me elaborate.
Just like the above mentioned movie, humans create machines to look after them and make their lives easier, until these machines realise that we are a silly bunch and decide that the only way to save us, is to take complete control. I fear that we are slowly relieving ourselves of the ability to drive
autonomous driving has been rapid over the past
had cars driving themselves and thinking that is so unreal. Well, it its happening and not good at all for us petrol-heads.
Why is that you might ask? Well, I don’t know about you but I enjoy driving a car myself. Ah, but these systems can be turned off, I hear you say. For how long? How long will there be a choice? I’m already reading articles of areas in cities that are becoming autonomous car friendly. Before you know it, cars will just be tools we use to get from A to B.
But then again, maybe that’s what they were supposed to be from the get-go. Our lust for thrill, danger and beauty has created an industry where supercars that occupy our walls and screensavers become the stuff that dreams are made of.
The way things are going though, those cars will soon be obsolete. They will exist in a world that no longer needs or wants them. Don’t get me wrong, autonomous cars are safer because some

of us are just not designed to drive. We South Africans have developed dangerous and reckless habits on the road. Having a standardised system controlled by a machine will save lives.
As marvellous, luxurious and technologically advanced as the BMW 7-series is, I fear we are losing our ability to do things ourselves. We live in a world where we rely on our smartphones so
them; how long before we all give up driving and just rely on a machine?
I know about the advantages, especially regarding safety, but I’m not ready for change, I’m not ready to give up the joy and yes, even the frustration of the drive, are you?

and by spending time in the BMW, this became very apparent.
You see, the car has some amazing technologies such as Active Cruise Control. This, when activated, quite literally gives the vehicle control over the tedious task of driving. It will apply the brakes and accelerate depending on the conditions around it.
It also has a feature called Active Lane Keep Assist which, as the name suggest, keeps it dead centre within the lane. The steering wheel even turns without human intervention. In fact, the only reason someone has to be behind the wheel is because we have people called lawyers who like to hold us accountable for things.

EMPD’S VEHICLES GRIND TO A HALTNUMEROUS metro vehicles, including metro police cars, came to a halt last week when C-Track deactivated its systems.
"These vehicles require the system to work as the C-Track acts as an im-mobiliser and was used to track the activities of the vehicles," Clr Ghaleb Cachalia, the DA leader in Ekurhuleni, said in a statement issued at the weekend.
He raised concerns over the immobilisation of vehicles in the emergency services and other mu-nicipal vehicles fi tted with C-Track tracking units.
"Ekurhuleni owes the service provider in excess of R6-million for more than four months for services rendered. After non-payment, the service provider deactivated the C-Track system, prevent-ing all vehicles throughout the metro fi tted with the system, from starting."
Although Themba Gadebe, metro spokesman, confi rmed vehicles had
been affected on Friday last week, he denied there was an "issue of account payment".
"The contract expired on September 15. On Septem-ber 1 the service provider was notifi ed to stop all fi tments, repairs and main-tenance by September 15," Gadebe said.
"According to our records there are no pay-ments due beyond the con-tract expiry date. However, we are aware that Digicore (C-Track) have submitted a claim in respect of "lim-ited services" they offered in good faith afterwards, while the council was busy with the new tender."
He said it was diffi cult
to say how many vehicles were involved as not all vehicles fi tted with track-ing units were affected. All metro departments were affected to varying degrees and some services were negatively infl uenced as some vehicles could not continue with daily opera-tions.
"However, this appears to have been limited as the majority of services were rendered. The situation lasted for a few hours and the matter was resolved. The supply chain manage-ment division has secured a new service provider to provide tracking services for the city's fl eet," Gadebe added.
SIXTEEN trainees have been deployed at Norkem Park SAPS for their Basic Police Development Learning Programme. Front: Kgabo Semenya, Tumelo Moloto, Dingane Sebashe, Pitsi Semenya, Lloyd Sejaphala and Jeffrey Nyathi.

MES in need of a teacher
Five metro depart-ments had to answer to the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) on Friday about wasteful expen-diture in their depart-ments.
The MPAC held its second sitting at Kempton Park Civic Centre Council Cham-bers with the objective to scrutinise items as they relate to fi nancial responsibility by the executive. The com-mittee does this on behalf of council.
Chaired by Alder-man Dimakatso Sebi-loane, the MPAC aims to contribute to the existing culture of transparency and ac-countability strongly advocated for by the separation of powers governance frame-work.
Members of the
community observed the proceedings. The following departments were called to ac-count for irregular and wasteful expenditure as it related to annual fi nancial statements for the year 2015/16: fi nance, community safety, transport plan-ning, human resource management and waste management.
Sebiloane conducted the hearing vigilantly and expressed the importance of the MPAC's work in en-suring stringent fi nan-cial responsibility pro-cesses by Ekurhuleni Metro employees, as their primary directive is to serve the commu-nity with honesty and integrity.
"We must take this process seriously as we are not only en-trusted with providing
basic services to our communities but to also subscribe to an ethos of good gov-ernance within this institution."
The Municipal Structures Act pre-scribes the existence and purpose of sec-tion 79 standing and oversight committees which have three key functions: to peruse reports referred to them by council as they emanate from the executive; to play an oversight role of the executive on behalf of council; and to play an advisory legislative role.
Opening the sit-ting to the community strengthens transpar-ency and account-ability and assists in deepening democracy through effective civic involvement.

RUNNING AHEAD WITH TACTHE Tembisa Athletics Club (TAC) is committed to changing the lives of residents through ac-tive sports participation.
From training some of Tem-bisa's top athletes to providing support for more senior runners, the club has made headway in becoming a sporting pillar of the community.
Based at Tembisa High School, training for school athletes takes place Monday to Thursday from 4pm until late.
Mr Donald Mathipa, the sec-retary for the club, said learners are professionally trained in both track and fi eld events by athletics coach Elvis Khosa.
Mr Khosa received the Central Gauteng Athletics Development Coach of the Year award in 2015 and 2016.
"Nine of our athletes recently received medals at the Central Gauteng Athletics Youth and Junior Track and Field Champi-onships," he said.
The event was held in Germi-ston.
For other runners, the TAC offers a 5km time trial every Wednesday evening at 5.30pm starting and fi nishing opposite Living Waters Bible Church, which is situated at the corner of Andrew Mapheto Drive and Morokane Drive.
Weekends feature longer runs for club members, including
20km, 30km and 40km runs at the Ivory Park recreation centre AMA7 Sports Grounds.
Cross country runs, which vary in distance from 4km to 16km, kick off at 5.30pm.
"We will also have our Com-rades practice run on March 25 at 6am. This will be a 60km run at AMA7 Sports Grounds," Donald said.
The event will consist of 30
laps of the sports grounds."It is not safe to run on the
roads so we practise within the sports grounds," Donald told the Tembisan.
The club's feature event for the year is the Tembisa Street Mile and 10km race, which will take place on October 29.
The event has attracted spon-sorship from TomTom as well as Spar North Rand and will kick
off from the Moses Molelekwa Arts Centre situated at the corner of Star Street and Andrew Ma-pheto Drive at 7am.
"We hope to attract 1 500 runners for the 10km event this year," Donald said.
This year will be the fourth running of the 10km event and the sixth edition of the Tembisa Street Mile, a race which in the past has featured participation by
Olympic runners.This year over R50 000 in prize
money will be up for grabs.Entries for the race will open
on August 1.Residents who are interested
in joining TAC can email Donald on [email protected].
Club fees are R350 and this includes a running licence as well as a vest. All training sessions are free of charge.

Local sports commentator does what he knows bestWell-known Tembisa sports commentator Mr JJ Rangwane Mpebe is certainly keeping view-ers engaged by commentating with excitement, enthusiasm and passion at local sports grounds.
When he is doing what he knows best, Mr Mpebe said it takes him only fi ve minutes to learn the names of all the soccer players in a fi xture and to start spicing things up on the soccer fi eld.
Mr Mpebe developed his love for commentating while listening to Thobela FM sport commenta-tor Jimmy Mohlaloga at a young age. "I loved how he fl owed and how he managed to paint a pic-ture of what was happening for
listeners," he said.Mr Mpebe said the minute he
holds a microphone, words just fl ow and he knows when to stop.
"I believe this is a God-given talent because almost everywhere I commentate I get countless salutations. I receive so much encouragement from the com-munity; they even support me by calling me to commentate for them during soccer tourna-ments," said Mr Mpebe.
He explained that he started commentating in 2010 at his home village of Hlogo-ya-Nku in Ga-Matlala.
"When I started I was just hav-ing fun and doing what I love, but now I am considering com-mentating as a career and mov-ing to a professional level. I’ve gained lots of experience and I am sure about my talent," said Mr Mpebe.
He said when he spices things up during soccer matches he is even able to give nicknames to the soccer players.
As well as the several soccer matches he has commentated on, Mr Mpebe was also able to commentate at boxing match of Ditau Molefyane Foundation late last year.
Mr Mpebe, who was also a soccer player during his primary level, said he quit playing foot-ball after sustaining an injury.
"I played football since I was young and I always wanted to become the best soccer player in the country and play for profes-sional teams. My dream was tar-nished after I had a serious injury while playing. I then realised I was not going to make it. How-ever, that never stopped me from watching and attending football games," he said.
Mr JJ Rangwane Mpebe was seen commentating for Tembisa Schools Athletic competitions in January this year.
Seen here are Gladwin Mzazi, Lucky Mohale, Phillimon Mathiba, Namakoe Nkhasi (defending champion and course record-holder from Lesotho) and David Manja taking part in the Tembisa Street Mile and 10km race last year.
