VANDERBIJLPARK.- 7-year-old NalediMotsumi has suffered savage bites from a vi-cious dog that turned on her in Vanderbijlparklast week. Little Motsumi has undergone dif-ferent sections of a major operation at the Se-bokengHospital. Shewas hospitalised for fivedays after she was attacked by a neighbour’svicious dog. The matter has since turned intoa racial issue between the neighbours.The incident happened at a friend’s house
where it was believed Motsumi and her otherfriend had usually played.Apparently the dog used to be harmless to
the kids. According to the family of the younggirl, she came home bleeding as the dog hadbitten her on the forehead.“It was awful to see her in so much pain,
but there was not much we could do for her.This nearly destroyed my grandchild’s futu-re,” says the grandmother It is alleged that,since the attack, the dog’s owners have notset foot in the victim’s home, even to showconcern for the child’s health. Motsumi wasdischarged from hospital but her face is notthe same as she came out with several stitchesto her forehead. “It was made worse when thedog’s owners did not even show any remorse.“I’m going to press charges. It is unfair forNaledi to suffer like this without anyone sho-wing some sense of humanity. To whites, wewill always be black,” says the angry grand-mother. Sedibeng Ster could not reach thedog’s owner for comment at the time of goingto print. The young victim’s family is awaitinga doctor’s report to proceed with the matter.

issues of funds mismanaged by the of-fice bearers.
The matter has been submitted to theGauteng High Court that gave judge-ment on September 29.
“The union’s national office ap-pealed the judgement,” he said. AboutR140 million was missing from the cof-fers of the union. Khambule said thebudget was exceeded before approvalof the money of workers’ subscriptionfees.
The union appointed a service pro-vider with R6 million that exceededother tenders.
The operational account has been ex-hausted.
The court ruled in favour of the vic-tims but the union made objection.
“We have started a ‘Save Our Sam-wu Campaign’ demanding that the na-tional office bearers account for howthe money was handled.
We appeal to the union members tostand behind the victims.
“A motion of No Confidence has tobe lodged against those who squan-dered the money,” said Khambule.

VANDERBIJLPARK.- Back from lying low,former Sedibeng District Municipality May-or, Mlungisi Hlongwane has made a comeback into the political sphere in this region.
Hlongwane who has been out of the ‘game’for close to six years was elected to be theregional chairperson of the South African Na-tional Civic Organisation (SANCO) recently.Speaking to Sedibeng Ster on Tuesday mor-ning Hlongwane says that his organisationaims to transform Sedibeng region andstrengthen the organs of civil society.“Through SANCO we are aiming to hold peo-ple accountable for the positions they occupywithout actually serving their electorate. Weare also going to focus on poverty alleviationprogrammes,” said Hlongwane, adding thatfollowing the recent service delivery ructionsit is clear that community members feel leftout and are angry at the quality of servicesprovided. With him at the helm of SANCO,Hlongwane said that programmes that willspecifically focus on uplifting the economy,youth and women in the region will be imple-mented. “We need to bring economic growthback to the region because if you look at thesituation, now we are standing at 1.7 growth
while other areas in the province are at 2.9.Also, the state of service delivery is not attrac-ting investors, thus we want to introduce arange of discussions on economic growth inthe region,” he said. Hlongwane views the up-coming suggestedmerger of localmunicipali-ties into a metropolitan as good news that willbring much needed development.
“ I think that the merger is going to introdu-ce efficiency in local government and willsave the region money,” said Hlongwane whopoints out that SANCO, as an ally of theANC, is going to be the watchdog of the com-munity and that people should not think thatthey are anti-government but that they willbe serving their purpose of being a watchdogas mandated by members of the community.
“We are going to make sure that our com-munities’ needs are served and that the pro-gramme of Batho Pele which hangs in all go-vernment institutions is implemented to thelatter. People must know that this is a revitali-sed SANCO,” Hlongwane ends.

SEDIBENG.- TheWorld FoodProgramme says, “The poorare hungry and their hungertraps them in poverty.” Hungeris the number one cause ofdeath in the world, killing mo-re than HIV/AIDS, malaria,and tuberculosis combined. Ti-mes surely have changed. Itused to be the ‘haves’ and the‘have nots’, but now every dayis a struggle for everyone. Po-verty has no face, colour orgender. Everyone needs so-meone to lean on. Donationsand food parcels are a big helpto many, but it won’t be possi-ble if people like Fabrice Facardo not jump in and help. Facar,well-known Goodwill Ambas-
sador for Children and AIDS/HIV Activist made it his goalin life to try and make a diffe-rence in many lives with thehelp of donations from institu-tions like Sancta Maria JuniorSchool in Vanderbijlpark. Oc-tober 17 is International Day ofthe Eradication of Poverty andon this day Sancta Maria dona-ted tinned food to those in need.Facar already distributed 62food parcels and 57 blankets.Facar also added: “100 is alsoa special period in my life asit marks 100 pictures and arti-cles in Mooivaal Media publi-cations and my 15 years ofloyal and dedicated service tothe wider Vaal.”

you can never be sure what the outcome will be. I feelvery excited about the end result.” Naile stated that thisevent would inspire the second group who already star-ted their training just a few months ago.”“The graduates now have a certificate in entrepre-
neurship.The initiative will also be awarding a R5000 start-up
for those who will either be starting their own businessand also to assist those who would like to further theirstudies,” Naile ends.

VANDERBIJLPARK. – The Enterprise De-velopment Centre (EDC) on the Vaal Triang-le Campus of the North-West University(NWUVaal) recently applauded female busi-ness womenwho took part in the EnterprisingWomen Programme at a glitzy awards cere-mony.The event was hosted at the Quest Confe-
rence Estate in Vanderbijlpark. The aim ofthe programme is to assist female entrepre-neurs to achieve their goals and realise theirbusiness dreams.During the event the participants in the pro-
gramme were given the opportunity to show-
case their business skills by pitching their bu-siness concepts to audience that includedwell-known business leaders, academic re-presentatives and vested entrepreneurs fromthe Vaal Triangle. Two self-made and well-known female entrepreneurs, Esmé Young(Small Business Development, Sasol) andRania Ghniem (Anoud Educational Games,Pakistan) addressed the audience on the im-portance of entrepreneurship and the perseve-rance needed tomake a success of a new busi-ness venture. Rania delivered her address viaa video link from Pakistan.TheEnterprisingWomenProgramme is of-
fered by the EDC, a unit within the Faculty
of Economic Sciences and Information Tech-nology, in conjunction with its implementati-on partner, Aequis Consulting. The program-me is geared to provide business support ser-vices to women who wish to establish theirown businesses, with participants exposed tostructured learning through interactive work-shops and group-centred learning activities.The eight-month programme incorporates en-trepreneurial fundamentals, such as the ex-ploration of business ideas, the developmentof a feasible business model, business strate-gy and branding and culminates in an imple-mentable business plan. The second round ofthe programme wrapped up in October 2014,
with 11 women completing the programmesuccessfully.For more information about the program-
ger of the EDC, an enterprising woman canbe described as an individual who dares tothink big, take calculated risks, and follow herdreams. “An enterprising woman works hardevery day to bring her dreams to fruition,”explains Landsberg and adds that this driveto succeed is fuelled by the quest to supportnot only her immediate family but also thecommunity at large.

The Vaal University of Technology Centrefor Renewable Energy andWater (CREW)held an information sharing conferenceon 26 September 2014 at VUT SouthernGauteng Science Park.
The invitation to the event was limited todepartments within CREW and the aim ofthe conference was to create and developsynergy in work packages and researchfocus areas as energy and water are cor-related, they cannot be separated.
“There are gaps we have identified and wefelt we need to develop synergy and notwork in silos. One needs to know whatthe other is doing so we can find ways tocollaborate,” said Professor Ochieng Aoyi,Director: CREW. He gave an overview of
the background, current team and struc-ture, vision and mission, and the strategyof the centre. He added that the researchfocus of the centre is to add value to life.The information sharing conferencecould not have happened at a better time,with certain metropolitan areas such asTshwane and Ekurhuleni being in thenews with regards to shortages of water.
“The conference will certainly help de-velop research that will find ways to me-diate a way forward on how we can assistthe next generation,” said Professor Aoyi.He went on to say that he appreciated thecourage and determination to ensure re-search was successful.

UNIVERSITIES NEED TO TAKE UP ROLE IN TRANSFORMATION
Transformative leaders at VUT
In keeping with the 20 years of democ-racy theme, the question of transfor-mation is still a highly contested sub-ject at all levels. Vibrant discussions onthe topic continue to dominate withinhouseholds and between the inner cir-cles of organised labour, business, in-dustry, government as well as the highereducation sector.
As we endeavour to avert the past anddeal with the remnants of apartheid, anew, more vibrant and open-minded so-ciety is forming. Without being derailedfrom the main attraction of transform-ing society, we should remain focusedat the levels at which we are placed aschange agents handling transformationwithin the higher education sector.
Transformative leaders gathered at theVaal University of Technology on 30September 2014, under the auspices ofthe Social Justice and TransformationUnit, armed with an agenda towardsfinding amicable solutions of redressinginequalities in the landscape of highereducation in South Africa.
After much deliberation on an array ofissues that affect all institutions, a newculture of collaboration for change be-gan to emerge. Discussions provokedleaders to candidly discuss the transfor-mation challenges and bring to the foreunity in diversity. Higher educationneeds to take up its role in supportingsubstantive democracy and the goals ofa transforming democratic society.

SEBOKENG. - It is not every day that localsget to have wine-tasting events coming theirway. This perception is beginning to change.
Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) andthe Department of Local Economic Develop-ment (LED) partnered with Rain Forest Pro-ductions to bring wine lovers the two-day se-cond Sebokeng Premier Wine Festi-Vaal atthe Zone 14 Saul Tsotetsi Sport Complex.
The event boasted more than 10 unique wi-ne exhibitors who not only allowed the gueststo savour their different wines but also offereda bit of an education about wine in general.
ELM MMC for Local Economic Develop-ment (LED) Khulu Malindi in his welcomingaddress told the guests that taking advantageof the Vaal River meant turning the Vaal regi-
on into one of the most prominent tourist at-tractions. “The Vaal River Carnival can beco-me bigger than most events.We have the riverat our disposal,” said Malindi.
Malindi added that the region had manyother tourist attractions which can easily drawpeople from outside areas.
A first-time Sebokeng Premier Wine Festi-Vaal attender Wendy Mntambo stated that theevent would have been better if it was out-doors: “I was expecting the event to be out-doors but the weather was just not in our fa-vour. The event in itself exceeded my expec-tations as it was very well put together,” shesaid. The event ended with music which crea-ted a mood of relaxation and exhibitors wereable to sell a few bottles of wine during thecourse of the day.

After Shooting From The Hip heardabout the tragic death of Orlando Piratesand Bafana Bafana captain SenzoMeyi-wa, I asked myself, ‘who is next?’ Wehave been robbed of our coffer of talentwith a gunshot!Toomany of our players die in similar
ways. If it’s not a car accident it’s witha gun or a knife.How can Shooting From The Hip for-
get when the former Kaizer Chiefs de-fender Jeffrey Ntuka died after beingstabbed at a tavern.
Shooting From The Hip doesn’t think thisis what GOD wants for our soccer players.It is a case of being in the wrong place at
the wrong time.How long can we continue to lose our ta-
lent like ‘doomed’ flies? Can somebody helpbefore we lose another talent in a car accidentor to a gun as has already been the case withSenzo and Mbulaeni Mulaudzi?Those with good memories will also recall
how Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana pro-lific striker Lesley Manyathela, MamelodiSundowns midfielder Gift Leremi, died in acar accident.In fact, quite a number of soccer stars have
died in car accidents in this country, includingformer Vaal Professional defender Meshack“Guna” Zwane.These are just a few of the South African
soccer stars whose soccer careers ended pre-maturely due to tragic deaths.Former Cosmos and Orlando Pirates mid-
fielder Clifford Moleko also died in a car ac-cident.In fact, Shooting From The Hip could build
a team of professional soccer players who ha-ve died in car accidents.This is something that needs to be addres-
sed as a matter of urgency.This is a great concern to Shooting From
The Hip because I’m directly involvedwith football development in this regi-on.Whatever happened with these pro-
fessional soccer stars should be a lessonto our up-and-coming stars.It should be the responsibility of eve-
ryone involved in football to come upwith a solution and put a stop to crimein this country.Enough is enough and we must not
only act when a superstar dies but alsowhen an ordinary member of the com-munity is killed.The question is - who is next?

SEDIBENG. - Sedibeng soccer te-ams’ officials, coaches and admini-strators went to the Safa House offi-ces to demand the national office tointervene in Safa Sedibeng’s affairson Tuesday. Sedibeng Ster has lear-ned that the problem started whenTheNationalLottery deposited an es-timated R50 3000 into Safa Sedi-beng’s account.
The teams’ representative feels,seeing that there is no accountabilityat Safa Sedibeng, national officeshould intervene because they belie-ve the money will end up in thewrong hands. It is no secret that theregional executive committee is divi-ded by the suspension of the regionalsecretary Star Hlongwane.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport,Junior Gusha, , a concerned group le-ader, says they want Safa’s nationaloffice to intervene before the moneyismisused by the Safa Sedibeng Exe-cutive Committee members. Gushasays as a team, they want the moneyto be used for development purposesat the local football associations (LE-FAs). “We want Safa National to in-tervene immediately because ourfootball administration in this regionis in amess andwe are concerned thatthe money will be misspent. We alsodemand a change of leadership be-cause the current executive commit-tee has failed football in this region,”says Gusha. To make matters worse,Gusha says the Safa Sedibeng SABRegional League teams are still wai-ting for their prize money from theregion. Meanwhile, Sedibeng SterSportswas stillwaiting for a responsefrom Safa National Office at the timeof going to print.

VANDERBIJLPARK. - Emfuleni Local Mu-nicipality hosted a successful OR Tambo InterMunicipality Games at Cecil Oldridge Park,otherwise, known as Shakespeare Stadium onFriday. The venue was packed to capacitywhen all Gautengmunicipalities came to parti-cipate in these annual municipal games.
Unfortunately both the Sedibeng DistrictMunicipality and Emfuleni soccer teams failedto live up to expectations as the hosts. Both te-ams failed to make it to the finals. The pro-
gramme started with the opening ceremony atthe Vaal University of Technology (VUT)’sIsak Styel Stadium where the participating te-ams welcomed the Sedibeng district’s mayorSimon “Sy” Mofokeng. This was before theyproceeded to Cecil Oldridge Park where thematches took place in the scorching sun. Thegames were attended by the football ‘who’swho’ as well as the ‘who’s who’ of politics andentertainment with the participating teams li-ving up to expectations in the field of play.
The days’ marathon programme ended with
a gala dinner ceremony to reward winning te-ams and individuals who did exceptionallywell. Emfuleni Local Municipality MMC ofSports and Recreation, Shaka Radebe, hailedthe games a success.
Radebe says things went the way they plan-ned and he thanks all the Sedibeng people fortheir support. The atmosphere was electricthroughout the day. However, Radebe was notdisappointed with the hosting teams’ perfor-mance, saying itwas all about participating, notnecessarily results.
