SHARPEVILLE. - Mmama Morobi (52)from Phomulong had a nasty surprisewaiting for her and her two grandchild-ren on Monday morning on their way toa local crèche. Morobi was walking hertwo grandchildren to school when twomen approached her and allegedly threa-tened her with a knife, demanding mo-ney. It is believed that the two menknown only as ‘Tobetsa’ and his friend‘Sbuda’, were standing on the corner ofher house waiting as if they knew shehad money on her. The moment she ca-me out they demanded the money whichwas R350.
It appears that Morobi was so shockedand afraid for her life and that of her twograndchildren that she threw the moneyon the ground. The suspects took the mo-ney and ran in different directions. Theshocked Morobi screamed for help andwithinin minutes the neighbours respon-ded and chased the thugs. Both of themwere later caught in Rooistene and bea-
ten with any kind of object communitymembers could lay their their hands on.Morobi says, “I am very grateful to Godthat we managed to escape unharmed.I’ve never seen the two men in my lifeand don’t even know how they knew Ihad money on me.
I was just taking my grandchildren toschool to pay their school fees.” The po-lice were called to the scene and on arri-val found the two men lying in the midd-le of the street covered in bloodstains.They were taken to the Sebokeng Hospi-tal for treatment.
Police spokesperson Rapule Pitsosays, “The community must not take thelaw into their own hands. We advisethem to bring the criminals to the policestation so that the law can run its course.”The traumatised Mmama Morobi saysthat she will not be opening a caseagainst the thugs as she is just gratefulthat they did not harm her two grand-children and that she managed to get hermoney back.

MEYERTON. – Tears of joy and relief rolledover the faces of friends and family of ArshadAli (37) after he landed at the OR Tambo In-ternational Airport on Saturday after he wasabducted in Pakistan on his way back to SouthAfrica last month.Sedibeng Ster reported recently about the
plight of Ali who is a businessman and alsoANC Chairperson in Meyerton. As he walkedthrough the door at the airport on his way backhome the relief on his wife Emel’s face wasclear. “This was a very difficult time for meand I am so glad that he is back and safe,”she said.Sedibeng Ster had an interview with Ali
when he arrived at home where friends andfamily came together to celebrate his return.He told Sediebeng Ster that t they stopped ata roadblock on their way to the airport in La-hore, Pakistan and individually they wereasked what their names were and when he toldthem who he is, five men in informal clothescame to him, handcuffed him and covered hisface so he can’t see them and took him away.When he opened his eyes he was in a smallroom. “The first few days I was sleepy, I think
they gave me something that made me sleep,”Arshad said. While he was there they askedhim questions about his life. For 13 days hewas kept in this room. Three times a day theygave him something to eat and only two timeswas he taken to the bathroom. “They did nottorture me or hurt me,” Arshad said. It is be-lieved that he was detained by the Inter-Servi-ces Intelligence (ISI).
While Arshad was missing all the info hisfamily had was that he was under investigati-on. According to Arshad this was his thirdtime was under investigation but was neverfound guilty for anything whatsoever. Aftereight days the people, still unknown to him,told him they were sorry and that they hadreceived the wrong information and he mustkeep doing the good work he does in SouthAfrica.
On the thirteenth day he was dropped inthe middle of the city.
“I just counted the days and I am very exci-ted to be back with my family and friends,”Arshad said.
He also would like to thank all South Afri-can Media as well as the government who hel-ped to get him back to South Africa.

VANDERBIJLPARK. - SedibengDistrictMu-nicipality and theGauteng Legislature in colla-boration with the IEC (Independent ElectoralCommission) and theDepartment ofHomeAf-fairs launched the Voter Education and Regi-stration Campaign at VUT (Vaal University ofTechnology) recently. Amongst officials whoattendedwere Stategic Planning andEconomicDevelopment MMC, Maipato Tsokolibane,IEC Provincial Electoral Officer Masego She-
biri and acting speaker of the Gauteng Legisla-ture, Uhuru Moilwa. Moilwa at the event sta-ted that the campaign was crucial especially tothe youth as records proved that a large percen-tage of the youth did not exercise their votingrights. “The youth of today should realise thatfreedom did not come free. It is important thatwe educate people about the importance of vo-ting. Failing to do so would mean that we asgovernment would be creating a generation ofpeople who are a danger to society and a mass
of people who would not have an understan-ding and an appreciation of voting and whatit means.” Moilwa acknowledged that the big-gest challenge the youth of today face is thatof unemployment, and urged VUT students toget an education and excel in their professionalfields. “Young people should not be deman-ding RDP houses from the government. Whatthey should be demanding are jobs that theyare qualified for,” addedMoiloa. HomeAffairsRepresentative Mpho Moloi stated that it wasimportant for people to have their green IDbooks to be able to cast their votes. “Anyonewho has a problem with their ID must reportto their nearest Home Affairs offices. We arebusy rolling out the new smart ID cards andwe hope that by the next elections they will ha-ve reached all the citizens of the country,” con-cludes Moloi. The launch was subsequent toa door to door campaign in Sharpeville whichsawofficials go to communitymembers to edu-cate them about the importance of casting theirvotes in the up-coming elections.

SEDIBENG. - Democratic Alliance (DA)regional chairperson Dady Mollo has sta-ted that the DA is ready for the upcominggeneral elections.Mollo states that the DA hopes to bring
the ANC votes down to below 60 per centin the 2014 elections. “We are the onlyparty that has grown in every single electi-on, and we will continue to grow. If allDA supporters are registered and vote onElection Day, the DA will win Gautengnext year.We will be able to create opportunities
for more people.” says Mollo.“We know that Gauteng will not be the
province it can be until we fix our schools
so that every child gets a decent educationand everybody gets to participate in a non-racial and inclusive economy.“Our activists are knocking on every
door to ensure that our message of hopeand vision for an open opportunity societyfor all reaches the masses.“We want to have a society in which
every person is free, secure and equal,where everyone has the opportunity to im-prove the quality of their life and pursuetheir dreams. This is why we encouragethe communities we serve to register.“This would mean more jobs, better
schools, better service delivery to the poorand less corruption and every vote acrossGauteng and Sedibeng will count, he ends.

SEBOKENG.-The ANC recently launched‘The Moses Kotane Zonal Volunteer Briga-de’ named after Kotane who was a politicalactivist and the general secretary of the SACP(SouthAfricanCommunist Party). These vo-lunteers will be working towards the upco-ming 2014 elections.
Kabila Mgangane, Sebokeng East ZoneANC Political Education Officer, stated thatthe ANC would be having a host of celebrati-ons to make the public aware of the importan-ce of voting.“People must remember to go out and vote,
especially the so called `Born Frees’.“In the apartheid regime votingwas a sour-
ce of oppression, but today it shows the free-dom of choice that all South Africans havegained through living in a democratic count-ry. The different celebrations have been alig-ned to coincide with the 1984 Vaal Uprising,”says Mgangane who concludes that peopleshould practice their freedom by going outand exercising their right to vote.

I am excited as I go through an articleby Fred Khumalo of the Sunday WorldNewspaper wherein he talks about ‘cle-ver’ blacks and ‘dom’ blacks. I am notgoing to go into the politics of the wholearticle (my article is not a re-write ofKhumalo’s), but just into the ‘clever’and ‘dom’ blacks argument. Fred says
that there is this friend of his that callshimself a Dom Darkie, except that he issharp as a razor blade. In many town-ships that we live in we know that thereis this ‘clever’ that has the latest models
of cell-phones, cars and clothes, etc. This‘clever’ (‘dom’ in real life) looks down oneveryone and sees himself as larger than life.What everyone knows is that this guy leftschool in standard 2 (they call them Gradesthese days) during lunch time and never cameback. The ‘dom’ ones (clever in real life ac-cording to me) are those that prefer to shy
away from the limelight while working hardto put bread on the table for their families,they make an honest living while remembe-ring where they come from. They do not wantto be associated with the ‘who’s who’ of thisworld but they work their socks off.I do not know in to which category you
would fall if you were to classify yourself ac-cording to the two categories of blacks thatare mentioned by Fred, but I sure hope youwould not call yourself a ‘clever.’ Fred saysthat he thinks that his friend is a visionaryas he started classifying blacks into ‘clever’
blacks and ‘dom’ blacks long beforethis was a presidential concern. Thereis nothing racist talking about this mat-ter thisway, as Fred says, In SouthAfri-ca we are good at labelling people asit diverts attention from ourselves tothe person who is being branded.So once in a while let us agree to
agree with Fred that there are ‘clever’blacks and ‘dom’ blacks, the differen-ce is that we just call them ‘moegoes’and ‘slim mense’ in township lingo.Lerato...

SEBOKENG. – It is no secret that some membersof the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) havestarted to divorce their party to tie the knot withAgang South Africa. Apparently the EFF vehicletook off like a house on fire but now the nuts andbolts holding its wheels in place have come undo-ne. The party which is led by Julius Malema aimsto give theANC sleepless nights.Mofokeng, a for-mer regional election head of the EFF, was thefirst to quit. Mofokeng together with other mem-bers told Sedibeng Ster that they have packed theirbags for Agang South Africa political party ledby Dr Mamphela Ramphela.The lad who started his political career at the
then Anti-Privatisation Forum (APF) stands by hisbelief that there’s no future in the EFF. He saysthe party has lost focus. When they were askedwhy they had left ‘the red berets’ (as EFFmembersare commonly known) he responded that there
were rumours that Malema might be trying to re-join the ANC. “The man seems to have lost favoursince the South African Revenue Service dealtwith him so harshly.“I was not surprised to see Kenny Kunene jump
off the EFF wagon while it was still moving. Yes,we started the party with the aim to give the ANCand DA sleepless nights, but lately the situationhas taken a turn for the worse. We left our partieswith excitement to join EFF but it was, later, likecold water being poured over us.The in-fights in the party from national to pro-
vincial up to local levels have caused an enormousnegative impact,” he says.Provincial EFF spokesperson Patrick Sindane
says, “These are the people pushing ‘empty-sto-mach’ politics. Agang SA uses desperate peoplelike Mofokeng. It is good that they move out earlyas we are busy building a revolutionary move-ment, not a Hollywood or a closed corporation.”

VEREENIGING. - Two women who weredesperately looking for jobs fell prey to jobscammers. Palesa Tema (25) and Lizzy Tueng(29), both from Boitumelo, met with an agentknown only as Mmaki.Mmaki asked the victims whether they had
not seen two other women looking for jobsin the vicinity. The women sought were ap-parently supposed to fill in application formsto receive uniforms before they started work.The victims - Palesa and Lizzy - then becameinterested and told Mmaki they were also un-employed. Mmaki told them they would haveto pay R2 000 each before filling in an appli-cation form. After that, they would have topay another R2 000.Theywere promised that someone from the
Emfuleni Local Municipality’s (ELM’s) Hu-man Resources Department would contactthem with the application forms.This never happened. Stanley Gaba, Emfu-
leni LocalMunicipalityHead of Communica-tions, condemns a situation in which mem-bers of the public seek to enrich themselvesby pretending to be from the municipality.“No person, except Human Resources has theright to hire people and this is without anycharges.My advice to the victims would be to open
a case of fraud with the police. The munici-pality will never collect money from the pub-lic for jobs,” he says.

SEBOKENG. -While political campaigns are ta-king place at every turn in the run-up to the 2014elections, service delivery in the Sedibeng regionis said to still be falling through the cracks.This is according to Beverly Hills Phase 2
(Ward 43) residents who have apparently beensubjected to the bucket toilet system for over 20years. The residents have called for the immedia-
te attention of the local governmentstating that if their cry for help isnot heard, they will take to thestreets right before the elections.77-year-old Martha Maskubu, a se-nior resident, says that local go-vernment has been such a disappo-intment to her as they have failedto provide them with proper toiletsystems for over two decades.Maskubu adds that her late hus-band died in one of their pit toilets.Another, younger resident, JamesTelane says that after so many ye-ars of digging their own toilets intheir yards, they no longer haveanywhere else to dig.”Ward 43 Councillor Jabu Zondi
says that he has been in talks withthe MMC for Infrastructure, Elec-tricity,Water and Sanitation -Nom-vula Thulo. “I need help, things aremoving very slowly, and right nowit seems like I am not doing my job.I need the residents to help me. Iamnot saying that theymust protestbut they should make their voicesheard.”Zondi believes that working to-
gether with the community ofWard43 will bring progress to the situati-on. At the time of going to pressSedibeng Ster was still awaitingcomment from Emfuleni LocalMunicipality.

administrator is set to follow in the footstepsof other great female football administratorsto emerge in this country, such asRiaLedwa-ba.

To date Ledwabawas the owner of theRia Star FCwhich cam-paigned in the Premier Soccer League beforeshe sold it. This ambitious female admini-strator is destined for a great future if her pas-sion for development football is anything to
go by. What places her head and shouldersabove the rest of the women football admini-strators is that she also coaches her soccerteam. In an exclusive interview with Sedi-beng SterSports, Thinane says she has a lovefor this sport, hence she decided to form herown soccer team. This soft-spoken womanadministrator believes that women shouldnot ownonlywomen’s football clubs but alsomen’s soccer teams.“Many women think I’m crazy when I tell
them I own a boys’ soccer team. Just becauseI’m woman they think I must be involvedwith women’s football clubs only. I enjoyworking with these boys because they wantto take their football careers to another le-vel,” says Thinane.

SEBOKENG. - Junior Lions FC, a household name in localfootball, recently extended its development structure by in-troducing the u/13 and u/15 divisions.
The club is one of themost feared teams in the PromotionLeague in Stream B, known for their physical strength. Theclub has produced quite a number of players, some ofwhomply their trade in the Vodacom League and First NationalLeague.The team used to conquer this region when it cameto junior soccer tournaments in the u/17 category, but re-cently they have become an ordinary side. Speaking to Se-dibeng Ster Sports, the teams’ Managing Director/CoachPaseka ‘Happy’ Moqholofane says there was a need for theteam to introduce these two divisions. He believes that thedevelopment of players must start as early as the age of6/7 years.
“In the past we used to have only one division whichwas u/17 and this was before they graduated to u/19. Look,we used to have only one division - that is why we usedto compete strongly because we gave them 100% attention.But I’mhappy to introduce these two divisions because theywill be our feeder teams for the u/19,” says Moqholofane.Meanwhile, Junior Lions FC is one of the teams that chal-lenge the league title in Stream B and Moqholofane wasoptimistic that his side also stands a good chance to be crow-ned the league champion at the end of the season.
It’s a fact, social media has become part ofour lives! One of the local development coa-ches – Themba “Danki” Dlamini - posted onhis facebook that there is a need for a coa-ching indaba in this region.Shooting From TheHip supports Dlamini’s
idea to organise a coaching indaba. In the pastwe had soccer indabas in this region but
things never changed because they were al-ways based on the “administration” point ofview.Sedibeng football needs a ‘makeover’ to
improve the standard of football - especiallyas far as coaching is concerned in this region.For example, despite the high level of talentin this region we still fail to produce a Voda-com League team.We have everything; facilities are there, ta-
lent is there but the quality of coaching leavesmuch to be desired.The fact of the matter is that talent is was-
ted because it is in the wrong hands. We don’thave coaches but “FAKES”. Yes fake coa-ches! There is a Coaches Football Associati-on in this region but most of the members arenot actively involved. How is this possible?This Coaching Indaba will address such is-
sues among others. There must be identityand information when it comes to develop-ment. As things stand now – there is no identi-ty including in our own Bafana Bafana.Shooting From The Hip has been saying
this for the past 20 years - that there is a needfor identity in this region. The kind of footballwe play is all about results! The fact of thematter is that we cannot blame soccer fansfor staying away from soccer grounds onwee-kends because of the kind of football playedof late. There is no creativity in our footballbecause of these “FAKE” coaches who res-trict talented players.A coaching indaba will address this among
other issues – our identity.The MSC Soccer Tournament starts this
weekend and you will see teams that get bea-ten every weekend winning this tournament
because they will go out to look for players.If Shooting From TheHipmay ask - how doesa coach feel winning a tournament knowingfully well that half of the players are not his?This is not the first time Shooting From TheHip has posed this question.Shooting From The Hip challenges Sedi-
beng Coaches Football Association to alsoplay a part in the development of football inthis region. Gentlemen, indoor meetings willnot fix our football, but if you go to the juniorsoccer matches, you will then understand the-re is a serious need for coaching. Coachingdoes not take place in boardroom but on thefield/ground. The sooner we call a coachingindaba, the better. Like Coach Ted Dumutrialways says, don’t take those Facebook com-ments for granted because the people whoposted those comments make lot of sense.

SEDIBENG. - FormerVaal Football Associa-tion (VFA) administrator Sipho ‘Tigers Don’tCry’ Nkumane is on a mission to revive Sedi-beng football.This former Bafana Bafana manager belie-
ves that there is a serious need to revive foot-ball in this region to bring everyone who isinvolved in it together under one regionalroof.Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sports, Nkuma-
ne says he is aware that there are serious pro-blems in this region among the people whorun football. Nkumane says he is aware thatthere are two Emfuleni Local Football Asso-ciation committees, the one that belongs to
Bushy Nale and the other to Philip ‘Mngos-hii’ Ndlovu.Nkumane says his first mission will be to
meet these two groups and find out their sideof the story and try to bring them togetherfor the sake of the development of footballin this region.Nkumane, however was quick to point out
that this is nothing to do with elections to be-come Safa Sedibeng president. He says heknows many people will say this is nothingbut strategy to become Safa Sedibeng Presi-dent.“Look, I know many people will think I
want to use this opportunity to become regio-nal president. I can assure you, I’m not intere-
sted in the position but I want to help bringour football back to where it belongs.I’m quite aware that things are going horri-
bly wrong for football in this region. I’m alsoquite aware that there are two camps in thisregion, which is not good for our football,”says Nkumane.Nkumane says he realised this after he was
supposed to conduct an administration work-shop in this region last month. He says therewere no club representatives especially fromStream A and that was when he realised therewas something wrong.He says he will also engage school sport
in an attempt to revive school sports to bepart of the regional revival of football.
The Emfuleni Local Football Association’sDeputy President Phiki Khumalo also ac-knowledged the fact that he personally metwith Nkumane and explained everything tohim.“It is true that I met with Mr Nkumane be-
cause he wanted to know what is going onin this region especially Emfuleni. I told himeverything and I even told him our positionregarding football in this region. We supportcommitment to Safa - not to individuals assome people suggest.“I have been in football my entire life and
so has Mr Nkumane. We will meet him withthe entire executive committee,” he conclu-des.
