Staff [email protected]

On Tuesday the City of Johannesburg hosted a special commemorative lecture on at Old Women’s Prison, Constitution Hill to applaud the brave women who par-ticipated in the 1956 March for freedom and emancipation. City spokesperson Nkosinathi Nkabinde says the commemorative lecture forms part of a series of activities organised by the City of Johannesburg to celebrate Women’s Month. “As a highlight to this year’s celebrations, the City will later in the month bestow its highest honour, the Freedom of the City Award, to four women stalwarts of our country’s libera-tion struggle who participated in the 1956 March; Sophie De Bruin, Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa.” He adds that the Freedom of the City is

the highest recognition a City can pay to acknowledge a person’s contribution to the welfare of the city and its inhabitants. “As a build-up to the Freeman of the City conferment, the City held a lecture to highlight gender issues both historic and current. The panelists included Clr Connie Bapela, the Speaker of the Coun-cil; Clr Nonceba Molwele, the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Health and Social Development; Clr Mally Mokoena, the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Corporate Shared Services in the City of Johannesburg and Sophie De Bruyn, a founding member of the South African Congress of Trade Unions and a full-time organiser of the Coloured People’s Con-gress. She continued to serve a democratic South Africa through vital contributions as a Member of Parliament, Deputy Speaker of the Gauteng Legislature and member of the Commission on Gender Equality.”

Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane will lead a march on Friday August 9 in

honor of the women who marched in protest against pass laws in 1956. Premier Mokonyane will lead thousands of women in a 3.5-kilometre walk from Tshwane City Hall to the Union Buildings.

This year’s Women’s Day marks the 57th an-niversary of the historic 1956 march, where 20 000 women marched in protest against pass laws. The theme for this year’s commemoration will be ‘Unity in Action for Wom-en’s Socio-Economic Em-powerment’. Tshwane Mayor Kgosient-so Ramokwopa and Gau-teng MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Lebogang Maile will join the march. “By reliving the march, the province wants to stimulate the dedication shown by the women in fighting for justice, an ef-fort which should still con-tinue even today. There’s a lot to still fight for and against by the rest of soci-ety, including issues about

women development, women’s health rights, gender transformation and women abuse,” Maile said. The Gauteng government has introduced a number of programmes and policies towards the development and empowerment of women over the two decades since democratic rule in 1994. These include over 50% of housing subsidies being given to women. There is also 50% rep-resentation of women in senior management positions in the provincial government; and the roll-out of the prevention of mother to child HIV transmission programme. One of the entities that will exhibit their ser-vices on Friday will be the Gauteng Enterprise Propeller (GEP), and they will be on standby to assist and advise entrepreneurs. GEP is an entity the Department of Economic Development aimed at providing non- finan-cial and financial support, and co-ordinating stakeholders for the benefit Micro Enterprises and of Small Medium in Gauteng. All grant related inquiries will be attended to by South African Social Agency (SASSA) personnel. The day’s programme will culminate in cel-ebrations at the Union Buildings by an all-female line-up performance including Nadine, Mafikizolo, Rebecca and Zahara. Transport will be provided and arranged for the communities to and from the Union Build-ings. For more details and information on bus pickup points communities are encouraged to call telephone number 011 355 2681.

News Briefs from arouNd saRustenburg - Former North West ANC Council-lor Abner Matlhoko claims he is being hounded out of his job after joining the Economic Free-dom Fighters (EFF). A section manager for the civic centre and community halls at the Rustenburg municipal-ity, Matlhoko said he received a letter from the municipal manager informing him that he was suspended. Matlhoko says municipal manager Maletse Mako called a Samwu representative to inform him of his intention to suspend him. He said his suspension was triggered by the hiring of a hall in Paardekraal, which would have been used for an EFF meeting last Saturday. “The rea-son is that I have left the ANC to join the EFF.” When EFF members arrived, they found the hall full of ANC members. The reason was that the municipality had booked the hall to launch Wom-en’s Month, which he disputed. The EFF meeting, scheduled to be addressed by Floyd Shivambu, took place outside the hall.

Bloemfontein -The SAPS has fired a police of-ficer who was caught on camera assaulting an unarmed woman. The assault was on April 5 at a garage in Smith-field, and the CCTV footage was revealed by eNCA.com. Warrant officer Ernest Maratshane of Smithfield SAPS, who was not in police uni-form, can be seen on the video hitting the woman and kicking her in the head. Two policemen pull him away but do not arrest him. They move him away from the woman but he still gets back to her and kicks her when she falls. The two officers do not offer any assistance to the woman. Maratshane has now been fired after a provincial disciplinary hearing that ended last week. He has also had his retirement package taken away and faces criminal charges. Free State police spokesman Brig Billy Jones said that sent a clear message that such crimes would not be tolerated. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate pursues a criminal case against Maratshane, due to be heard on August 12. He has been implicated in other crimes, in-cluding pointing a gun at an unarmed person.

Durban - Families of the five people who were murdered at Mbongolwane in northern KZN last week have commended the police for arresting the suspects. On Monday police arrested 13 more sus-pects, bringing the total to 19. Armed attack-ers set alight four houses, burning to death five people and injuring four. The motive for the killing is alleged to have been a love tri-angle involving a local leader. Survivor Zama Mnyango said: “The police are working hard to fight crime, they want jus-tice to prevail and we appreciate that although it is not easy for us to deal with our loss.” Commenting on the issue KZN Community Safety MEC Willies Mchunu said another suspect is still at large. He appealed to the community to stay calm and allow the law to take its course. “I can confirm that in the murder of five peo-ple that happened at Mbongolwane some peo-ple have been arrested. On the basis of that I advise everyone from this area to remain calm and allow justice to take its course,” he said.

Massacre suspects held

Cape Town - Police are searching for four men who dumped human waste on the steps of the provincial legislature on Monday. Lt-Col Andre Traut said the men fled after dumping the faeces. The city has experienced several faeces dumping incidents in the past few months by pro-testers over sanitation in informal settlements. They say the portable flush toilets being rolled out by the city are no better than the bucket system. The dump-ing occurred when nine men, Loyiso Nkohla, Andile Lili, Yanga Njingwana, Ben Dyani, Jaji Diniso,

Bongile Zanazo, Thembela Mabanjwa, Bantubakhe Mqobodiya, and Wandisile Mkapa appeared at the Bellville Magistrate’s Court for allegedly dumping faeces at Cape Town International Airport on 25 June, charged under the Civil Aviation Act, and face 30 years jail if found guilty. On 4 June some Khayelitsha residents threw hu-man waste at a convoy to a green economy event hosted by Premier Helen Zille. A day before, two men dumped faeces on the steps of the Western Cape legislature building.

Pretoria - Justice Minister Jeff Radebe has announced that at least 22 sexual offences courts will open this year in a revival of the system of dedicated courts. A further 35 such courts would be set up within the next three years in a bid to stem sexual violence against women and children, he said. “We have seen a rise in sexual vio-lence against women and children, and we cannot remain unmoved as government, but we can take steps to ensure that all those perpetrators of these heinous crimes must be brought to book. This is one of the ways of dealing with it.” Radebe said government never abandoned the policy of running sexual offences courts. “It buckled under logistical problems, includ-ing the refusal of magistrates to serve in the courts permanently. The state was consider-ing rotating magistrates and prosecutors who worked in sexual offences courts,” he said.

This month South Africa com-memorates Women’s Month as

a tribute to the thousands of women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 protesting the ex-tension of Pass Laws to women. This historic march was a turn-ing point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom. Since that

eventful day, women from all walks of life became equal partners in the struggle for a non-racial and non-sex-ist South Africa. The march was coordinated by the Federation of South African Women (Fedsaw) led by Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams De Bruyn. These leaders delivered petitions to the then Prime Minister JG Strijdom’s office at the

Union Buildings. Women throughout the country had put their names to these petitions, indicat-ing their anger and frustration at hav-ing their freedom of movement restricted by the hated official passes. The Government of South Africa de-clared August Wom-en’s Month and 9 August is celebrated annually as Wom-en’s Day. Women’s Month is a tribute not only to the thou-sands of women who marched on that day in 1956, but also a tribute to the pio-neers of the women’s movement, dat-ing back to 1913, when women like Charlotte Maxeke led the way in es-tablishing the ANC Women’s League and encouraging women to engage in the struggle for freedom. Pioneers in-clude Cissy, Jaynab and Amina Gool, who were amongst the leaders of the National Liberation League and the Non-European United Front of the 1930s. The names of Ray Simons, Eliza-beth Mafikeng and Elizabeth Abra-hams will always be associated with the struggles of women. In the 1940s Amina Pahad and Gadijah Christo-

pher, who were among the first volunteers to occupy the site of the 1946 Pas-sive Resistance Campaign on Umbilo Road in Durban cannot go unnoticed. Women’s Month also serves to rec-ognise the work of Dora Tamana, Wini-fred Siqwana, Ida Mntwana, Bertha Gx-owa, Florence Matomela and other stalwarts

of the 1950s, who led militant wom-en’s formation for the rights of work-ers and the rights of women. There were also the women who formed the Black Sash and who were the first to protest against the disenfranchisement of the Coloured voters in the 1950s. Coloured voters played an important role in the united front of anti-apartheid forces that de-veloped in the last three decades of apartheid. Government has made progress in empowering women in political, pub-lic and educational spheres, but mar-ginalisation of poor women compro-mises progress. SANews.co.za

Boko Haram leader deposedMaiduguri - Boko Haram leader Sheikh Abubakar Shekau has reportedly been shot and deposed by mem-bers of his own group. A new leader, Abu Zamira Mohammed, who is the sect’s leader negotiating with the government has been appointed new leader by the group’s Shura Council. The group also said that its ceasefire declaration is working, pointing out that there has not been any suicide bombing since the declaration. It condemned the Yobe massacre where 40 students were killed. On the Kano blasts, which led to the death of about 45 people, the group blamed it on federal government’s tardiness in responding to the ceasefire agreement. A faction of Boko Haram is in dialogue with the govern-ment searching for peace to a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives since 2011. The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Dia-logue and Restoration of Peace in the North-East, Tan-imu Turaki said his committee had reached an ‘under-standing for a ceasefire agreement’ with members of Boko Haram. The Islamist militant group has been in preliminary discussions with government emissaries since it declared a ceasefire on June 26 this year.

Top govt official resignsTripoli - The country’s Deputy Prime Minister Awadh al-Barassi has announced his resignation, slamming the government as dysfunctional and unable to end violence. Barassi made the announcement at a news con-ference in Benghazi, amid growing public anger over widespread violence and a spate of political assassinations. His resignation came just days af-ter Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said he was shelving plans to carry out a cabinet reshuffle to improve the government’s response to the unrest. Barassi said he was stepping down due to a ‘security breakdown’ and assassinations linked to the cabi-net’s policies. He said the government had failed to win the people’s trust and provide the resources needed to achieve development goals. Zeidan ac-cepted Barassi’s resignation. Last week he threat-ened to restore the feared Internal Security Agency which helped keep ousted Gaddafi in power, to try to stem the violence. Since Gaddafi’s overthrow in 2011, the authorities struggle to re-establish order and form a professional police and army.

Addis Ababa - Foreign Affairs spokesperson Dina Mufti has announced that Ethiopian troops de-ployed in Somalia to fight al-Shabab fighters are withdrawing from the city of Baidoa, and the AU force Amisom will take over. Ethiopia plans to hand over control of the city to Amisom, whose 17 700-strong force backs Mogadishu’s weak government. Ethiopian troops captured Baidoa from al-Shabab last year, and AU troops later joined them. “Ethiopian troops will withdraw from all operations this year on the basis that al-Shabab will not return and take over. This requires strategy and co-ordination to ensure smooth transition,” said Dina. In March Ethiopia pulled its troops from the town of Hudur, leading to al-Shabab retaking the town. The withdrawal from Hudur sparked fears of a se-curity void and return of al-Shabab. There are also doubts that Amisom has the resources to take over the role played by the Ethiopians. Kenyan troops who entered Somalia in 2011 have since been inte-grated into Amisom, but Ethiopia’s 8 000 troops re-mained independent. Despite al-Shabab infighting, analysts warn the group is far from defeated.

African leaders said in a statement at the end of a summit in Uganda that control of Kismayo’s sea-port and airport “should be handed over” to the Moga-dishu-based government.

The decision puts pressure on Kenya, whose troops in Kismayo have been accused of backing one militia, the Ras Kamboni Brigade of Sheikh Ahmed Madobe, against others in fighting there.

Abidjan - Amnesty International charges that the gov-ernment of President Alassane Ouattara fails to investi-gate evidence of human rights abuses linked to the kill-ings at Nahibly displacement camp in 2012. The organisation gives details of bodies thrown into wells that have not been excavated despite repeated calls for an investigation. It calls on government to es-tablish a commission of inquiry into this atrocity. Am-nesty International Researcher, Salvatore Saguès said: “Despite repeated promises to ensure justice, the gov-ernment has not investigated the crimes.” On 20 July 2012 the Nahibly camp, housing 2 500 people, was destroyed by a mob of members of a state-sponsored militia and army elements. Most of the people were from the Guere tribe, perceived to support ex-president Laurent Gbagbo. Amnesty International says 14 people were killed. Six corpses were exhumed from one well in October 2012, but 11 wells believed to contain bodies have not been probed. Eleven wells are being guarded by UN troops but no attempt made to ex-cavate them. Government cited a lack of equipment but has not accepted an offer of the UN to provide support.

Bringing the Buzz Back to the city

Built in 1905 and originally designed as the Head Offices of the Anglo

mining group, magnates like the Oppen-heimers, Barney Barnato and Cecil John Rhodes all frequented the CornerHouse back in the day.

For many years, it remained an iconic building, but Johannesburg in the 1980s experienced what many major cities in the world experienced – decentraliza-tion of businesses to suburban areas. But since the late 1990s,world cities like New York, Sydney, Berlin, Sao Paolo, Los Angeles and many more, became “in vogue” again as sought af-ter places to live and work. Against this background, Urban Ocean Property Developers stepped in to help upgrade the Financial District of Johannesburg

– the CornerHouseis a shining example of their efforts and has played an inte-gral role in attracting businesses back, thus helping to revitalize the city itself. So what makes the CornerHouse spe-cial? As a building that offers various spaces for businesses, as well as for event and function hire, it’s ideally situ-ated on the City Square, overlooking the Financial District, and is close to various modes of pubic transport, an ec-lectic variety of restaurants and coffee shops, as well as the Head Offices of BHP Billiton, Anglo American, Mutual & Federal, Chamber of Mines, Independ-ent Newspapers, ABSA, Standard Bank and FNB. The historical significance of the architecture and intrinsic aesthet-ics, in combination with modern inte-

rior finishes inside the offices and apart-ments are incredibly appealing. A tradi-tional suited doorman who greets you as you come and go further enhances the appeal and sense of a bygone era. The upgrading of the CornerHouse has seen the inclusion of top-class finishes, marble floors, decorative art and design-er signage for all the office floors, leading to the rooftop with its breathtaking Cop-per Dome, where you can enjoy a glass of port or whiskey, and perhaps a cigar. All of this has made the journey through the building a fun, aesthetically pleasing one. While certain design criteria are in place, the offices are designed with a specific tenant in mind. The result is that tenants feel they have some form of own-ership on their premises, as they are ac-

tively involved in the process of design-ing and fitting out their space. The build-ing has various balconies, while tenants have access to the rooftop, with its mag-nificent views. The rooftop is in the proc-ess of being renovated into a venue that will cater for weddings, conferences, live performances, and year-end functions. Plans for the rooftop include a state-of-the-art virtual golf experience and a deck with a bar overlooking the city skyline. The CornerHouse perfectly captures old-world glamour with touches of mo-dernity. It’s a building with a proud his-tory, ideally situated, with magnificent views and state-of-the-art security. It’s perfect for work and play – a showcase for the best Johannesburg has to offer… And that’s saying a lot!

The majestic CornerHouse building is hard to miss: ideally located in the heart of Johannesburg’s Financial District, on the corner of Commissioner and Simmonds Streets, this landmark heritage site’s exterior façade rates as one of the most beautiful in the city, with an interior to match – the perfect place to work and play.

Joburg Central police arrested a Na-mibian national for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammuni-tion in Fordsburg, police Corporate Communications Officer Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele says. He explains that police on routine patrol noticed a suspicious bak-kie with three occupants. “They searched the occupants and found a firearm which had a serial number on the driver, and circulated it. It came out positive that it was stolen from the owner when he was hijacked as per case that was opened at Welbek-end in September 2004. The suspect was arrested and charged with pos-session of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.” Warrant Officer Mbele adds that in the same period Joburg Central com-munity patrollers arrested a suspect for common robbery in Fordsburg. “The suspect allegedly robbed a woman who was answering a call from her Samsung Galaxy tablet when he snatched it and ran way. She screamed for help and com-munity patrollers arrested him and the tablet was recovered. He was charged with common robbery.” Warrant Officer Mbele adds that Joburg Central police commend the good work done by the patrollers. “The good working relationship be-tween the community and the police is bearing fruit in the reduction of crime in our precinct,” he adds.

Renowned Israeli saxophonist Dan-iel Zamir is en route to South Af-

rica with three other impressive musi-cians, and will perform at the newly re-furbished Great Hall at Wits University on August 28. The Daniel Zamir Quartet includes Zamir, Omri Mor on piano, Gilad Abro on contrabass, and Amir Bresler on drums. Daniel Zamir is one of the most influential musicians in Israel. He is a virtuoso sax player and composer of what could be defined as “Jewish jazz”, fusing together elements of Jewish sounds and high quality jazz, together with ethnic and world music elements. “We are thrilled to finally have the Daniel Zamir Quartet coming to South

Africa,” says Professor Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph, one of South Africa’s fore-most composers and composition pro-fessor within the Music Department at Wits School of the Arts. “He is such a fantastic musician and is hugely popu-lar across the jazz world.” The audience can expect a unique con-cert that combines jazz and new age Jewish music, with a touch of the ex-perimental Klezmer music genre. “Lovers of jazz and Jewish music are going to be thrilled by the quartet. They are a relatively young group, and bring to the art of jazz a completely different dimension with their ability to experi-ment and fuse different genres,” said Zaidel-Rudolph. Zamir’s albums are the most success-ful jazz albums ever to be recorded in

Israel, with high acclaim from the me-dia and critics. Accompanying Zamir is a musician with South African roots, Gilad Abro who was born in Cape Town and moved to Israel in 1991. He is a household name in Israel, where he works along-side jazz greats, and has made a name for himself as a virtuoso bass player. Renowned jazz virtuosos Carlo Mom-belli, Jonathan Crossley and Justin Badenhorst, will open the concert with a brand of jazz that can only be de-scribed as visionary. Carlo is known for breaking every rule, encompassing the strange, and drawing on the heart of our society to create soulful and technically superb music. Carlo and Jonathan cur-rently teach jazz studies, electronic mu-sic and composition at Wits University.

Mandela Challenge squad ready

Soccer Correspondent

Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Ige-sund has announced his squad for

the Nelson Mandela Challenge match against African champiopns Nigeria on August 14. South Africa will face a strong Nige-rian squad in Durban, which includes the likes of Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses, Spartak Moskow’s Emmanuel Emenike and Africa Cup of Nations hero Sunday Mba. After the game against Nigeria, South Africa will play Burkina Faso on Au-gust 17 during the Nelson Mandela Sports day. Igesund named players who included Senzo Meyiwa, Andile Jali, Oupa Manyisa, Thabo Matlaba, Daine Klate and Thandani Ntshumayelo of

Orlando Pirates. Thebafana coach said the players, together with the overseas based stars, would be allowed to return to their clubs immediately after the Ni-geria game. The Bucaneers said they were shocked to learn that six of their players were included in the squad for the Nelson Mandela Challenge, because of their commitment in the Caf Champions League. Bucs spokesperson Mickey Modis-ane said they were not aware that their players would be included in the Bafa-na squad. “Caf Champions League football is our priority and domestic or national team games come second. The dates for the Champions League were set before the end of last season and for that reason, we came back early

for our pre-season training. This shows how important the Champions League football is to us,” Modisane said. On Tuesday Igesund revealed that all the Pirates players, including three overseas-based players, will be re-leased after the Bafana-Nigeria clash, but Modisane said the technical team will need more time with the players to prepare for their Zamalek game. “The technical team and the players will need to be afforded enough time to prepare for our Zamalek game on August 17. I am sure the national team coach understands that, because we are representing the entire nation. Hence, our participation in the Champions League deserves recognition.” Modisane however said there has not been a formal request to Safa regarding

withdrawal of the players, from the fix-ture, which is within the Fifa calendar. The squad Goalkeepers: Itumeleng Khune, Sen-zo Meyiwa, Wayne Sandilands. Defenders: Erick Mathoho, Tshe-po Gumede, Thabo Nthethe, Anele Ngconga, Bevan Fransman, Tsepo Masilela, Siboniso Gaxa, Innocent Mdledle, Buhle Mkhwanazi, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Thabo Matlaba. Midfielders: Siphiwe Tshabalala, Re-neilwe Letsholonyane, Dean Furman, Hlompho Kekana, Oupa Manyisa, Andile Jali, Thandani Ntshumayelo, Bongani Zungu, Thuso Phala, Daine Klate, Lerato Chabangu. Strikers: Tokelo Rantie, Bernard Parker, Lebogang Manyama and Luyolo Nomandela.

In the wake of Orlando Pirates’ his-toric Caf Champions League group-stage win against Egyptian giants Al Ahly last week, Bucs coach Roger De Sa says his team remains focused on maintaining form in the competition. “Despite different challenges from different countries we’ve taken it game-by-game and challenge-by-challenge,” De Sa said. Pirates eased past Egyptian club Al-Ahly 3-0 at the El-Gouna Stadium, giving Al Ahly its heaviest home de-feat in the Caf Champions League. Pirates recorded a first win for a South African team away to Al Ahly with goals from Thandani Ntshumayelo, Andile Jali and Sifiso Myeni. Chiefs, Sundowns, SuperSport, Ajax Cape Town and Platinum Stars tried but failed to come back with a win. The result thrust Pirates to the top of Group A after two games. It places them level, on four points, with Con-golese side AC Leopards, but with a superior goal difference. “We happen to be on top right now, but there are no guarantees. There are a lot of games still to be played,” De Sa said. The match against Ahly was sched-uled for Sunday night at Cairo’s Air Force Stadium, but the army refused to allow the match to be played in ei-ther Alexandria or Cairo, forcing the fixture to be moved to El-Gouna. The game was played behind closed doors after Al Ahly were banned from allowing fans into their first two home games, owing to crowd violence. The match was scheduled during the month of Ramadan, where followers of Islam fast from sunrise to sunset. Al-Ahly did not want to compete in the heat of the day with their play-ers fasting, but the Confederation of African Football (Caf) demanded the match go ahead, despite an urgent ap-plication from the club to have the fixture postponed. Bucs skipper Lucky Lekgwathi played down the off-field influences and praised his technical team for get-ting his team ready for the game. “The coach kept reminding us that whenever we play away, we shouldn’t focus on the politics. Our focus was inside the field. As players, we knew we weren’t going there only to repre-sent Orlando Pirates, but also to rep-resent the nation,” Lekgwathi said.
