Doing Us all proUDMarco Kotze made his Vodacom Super Rugby debut
for the Reds against the Brumbies in Canberra on Friday 13
February.Originally from Alberton, Marco started his school career
at Laerskool Randhart, and finished High School at Marais Viljoen.
His grandfather, Stan Almendro, has been his mentor since he was a
little boy and Friday was a very proud moment for the entire
family, especially Stan and his wife June. Marco climbed to the top
against
all odds. Even last week it was still touch and go due to a visa
problem, which was only resolved last Wednesday a mere two days
before his debut.According to Stan the greatest thing about Marco
is his quality of character and spirit. As a leader, he brings
something into a space and room when he enters. Besides his great
stride in sport, Marco has a heart for people and would give his
shirt off his back, says Stan.The lock represented the Golden
Lions and Sharks at age-group and Vodacom Cup levels in the
past. He then joined the Valke before moving to Australia two years
ago, when Jake White took him to the Brumbies. The 28-year-old
featured heavily in Brisbane Citys victorious 2014 National Rugby
Championship campaign, which saw him called up to the Reds
squad.tame TIMES and the community is proud of Marcos achievements
and wish him all the best for his rugby career.Marco Kotze debuted

While many spend Valentines Day wining and dining, consuming
chocolates and gasping over large bundles of red roses, I take the
time to think about what happened on this day roughly two years ago
the day when four bullets took the life of Reeva Steenkamp. The
first time I learned about Reeva, or saw her rather, was during my
days working as a features writer for the high-end Sandton magazine
clad in a stunning dress, Reeva featured in an advert for the
exclusive designer clothing brand Pallu which Sandton magazine
published. Some time thereafter, a media invite popped into my
mailbox one day it was an invite to the Tropika Island of Treasure
press junket, a South African reality TV show which Reeva took part
in as a celebrity contestant for Season 5 of the show. I turned the
invite down due to another event that I had to attend. Two days
before the first episode of Tropika Island of Treasure was
broadcasted, Reeva was killed. I was shocked; the thought of you
should have gone! consumed me as I would have met her in the flesh.
What was even more ironic is that I had interviewed Reevas good
friend, Kim Myers, a while back at a function before the world
learned that Oscar Pistorius had shot and
killed his model girlfriend. I still feel regret for not
accepting that media invite. I think that many
South Africans hold a piece of Reeva in their hearts the SA
model and law graduate, in my opinion, symbolises how woman abuse
is so prevalent in our society. The day after Reeva died, she was
due to wear black in a Black Friday protest against
the countrys disturbingly high rate of rape and violence against
women. Reeva was a
victim herself. I will always remember that text message she
sent Oscar stating, I am scared of
you sometimes and how you snap at me. Its etched in my mind,
along with her smile and the fact that I had the chance to meet her
several days before that fateful night. So instead of sipping a
glass of wine over a sumptuously romantic meal, Valentines Day will
always be to me a day of remembrance of Reeva as well as a day of
reflecting on violence against women. RIP Reeva.

Dear Editor,The Executive Mayor of Johannesburg Councillor Mpho
Parks Tau must be recognised as a great comedian. I think he lies
in bed at night dreaming up schemes to waste more of the taxpayers
money. He has now decided to create a Community Safety Forum for
the City of Johannesburg. What a foolhardy plan! There are already
Community Policing Forums (CPF) established in many areas in
Johannesburg. Why does he not just strengthen these bodies so that
they can work more effectively? I understand that a CPF is linked
to the South African Police Service but why should the City not be
involved? Also, Mayor Tau has forgotten that he has a Johannesburg
Metropolitan Police Force (JMPD). If he really wants to bring
safety and security to the public then first sort out the JMPD root
out the corruption and get rid of the lazy officers who drive
around in big vans all day collecting food and sitting in the shade
eating their way through the day. Also, why do officers only have
speed traps or stop and search close to the end of every month? The
reason: so that they can reap what they have not sown. If the JMPD
was truly a world-class force that did their work by enforcing the
City of Johannesburgs by-laws consistently, then we would have less
crime and more honest citizens. The City also needs to ensure that
fire and medical emergency services are also involved with their
local CPFs. This will display to the community that all parties
involved, including the City, are working together for safety and
security. Come, Mr Mayor, wake up and sort out your own backyard
before wasting my hard earned salary.

DA PETITIONS TO IMPROVE MOFFATVIEW POLICE STATION
On Saturday 08 February the Democratic Alliance (DA) Boroang
Branch in Ward 56 in the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) presented a DA
petition at The Glen Shopping Centre in an effort to address the
plethora of problems that the Moffatview Police Station currently
faces.Together with the DA Johannesburg South Constituency, the DAs
petition demanded appropriate office accommodation for the police
officers; lockup cell facilities for arrested suspects; adequate
staffing levels to cater for the population within the precinct;
appropriately equipped and trained staff, as well as the possible
criminality of SAPS members to be investigated and prosecuted.DA
Boroang Branch Secretary Michael Crichton said, The Moffatview
Police Station is still facing severe staff shortages as they are
currently unable to have two patrol vehicles per policing sector,
which is a concern. Since Moffatview Police Station became
independent they have not received new recruits from the
academy
and the current staff have been depleted by deaths, retirements
and resignations. This certainly needs to be rectified!DA Boroang
Branch Deputy Chair Phillip Venter said, The Moffatview Police
Station currently does not have adequate infrastructure to function
properly for instance there are currently no holding cell
facilities to lock up suspects. It is also concerning that the
morale amongst the officers appear to be low as they are
understaffed. There was also a DA information table at the event.
Ward Councillor Dennis Jane said, In addition to our petition we
were able to inform the public of an upcoming meeting on property
rates that the CoJ is going to hold.Councillor Jane further added
that he was pleased that over 560 people signed the petition as the
police station problem needed to be addressed as soon as possible.
Citizens were also able to sign up as DA members at the
table.Details: Michael Crichton, 083 383 6366; Dennis Jane, 083 701

Over the past several months, load shedding in
South Africa has become a major concern. Not only does load
shedding impact the daily routines of residents and the operational
processes of businesses, but it can
also damage electronic equipment, resulting in unfortunate
insurance claims.
Because of load shedding, consumers are at a higher risk and may
suffer damage to equipment brought on by power surges or loss of
goods because of theft or burglary during blackouts. Therefore,
consumers need to be proactive and speak to their broker or insurer
to ensure that they are adequately covered for the load shedding
risks affecting them.Coenraad De Jager, Executive for Personal
Lines at Mutual & Federal, notes that consumers should never
assume they are adequately covered as the basic cover might not
include specific risks related to load shedding.We are finding that
consumers are generally unaware of what their cover includes or
excludes; in some instances, additional cover may be required. In
the case of load shedding, for example, the battery of the alarm
system plays a major role and policyholders should ensure that
their alarm systems batteries are tested regularly to ensure that
maximum protection is provided, says De Jager.Also, load shedding
can dramatically reduce the lifespan of an alarm battery and,
should the battery be older than one year, consumers should make
the necessary arrangements either to replace or check the battery,
he added. When consumers are underinsured for certain load shedding
risks and have not taken the necessary safety precautions, it could
lead to further frustration when an insurance company is unable to
settle a claim.When the load shedding period ends and electricity
has returned, in most cases a power surge occurs due to a boost in
the electrical charge in the power lines, increasing the current
flow of electricity to the wall outlet. As a result, appliances and
other electronic devices in households might short-circuit or
malfunction. Its therefore crucial for consumers to check the
extent of their cover in respect of power surge incidents to ensure
that they are adequately covered, says De Jager.De Jager advises
that there are simple steps to take that may have lasting
consequences with regard to load shedding risks. Simple steps such
as unplugging appliances not in use to minimise the chances of
damage; installing surge protectors to prevent power surge damage;
keeping refrigerator and freezer doors closed to keep frozen food
safe from spoilage; regularly testing your alarm system; ensuring
that electric fencing and gates still work during a blackout, or
requesting more regular patrols and checks from your security
company will all go a long way in ensuring minimum exposure to load
shedding risks, he said.

Nestled in the heart of Meredale Ext. 2, the Shalom House of
Refuge is a hidden gem a place of peace for broken people living
among us in society. Founded and registered in August 2011, Shalom
House of Refuge is a home that shelters abused women and their
children.Its focal aim is to develop women into strong and
independent individuals who can support their children as well as
sustain a meaningful and empowered lifestyle.Broken women come
here, explained Margaret Sikhulu, founder of the Shalom House of
Refuge, who has dedicated her life to the project.Sitting with
Sikhulu in the makeshift office at the shelter, she told me that
since its inception, the home has been funded by Charles Woodhatch
and Peter Howard Browne of WB Solutions, a specialised finance
solutions company.In the beginning no one wanted to support us.
Kindly, Charles and Peter started to fund the project and a
property was offered to us for rent by businessman Mohammad Khan,
explained Sikhulu. Sikhulu noted that Pick n Pay and Woolworths
currently sponsor the shelter with food. We see the need to support
a large amount of abused women and children. Our aim is to heal and
empower these battered individuals. We want to help them with
education, employment and to build their confidence. We want to
motivate these ladies to be the best they can be, said
Sikhulu.Several success stories have come out of the shelter. Thus
far, the shelter has discharged up to 80 women who are now
self-sustained and employed. One woman that came here is currently
finishing her college diploma in hospitality, explained
Sikhulu.
Currently, Shalom House of Refuge houses 10 women and 11
children. However, the shelter is plagued by financial problems.
Coupled with this, the home is in desperate need of an upgrade and
maintenance. Sorry about the pool. It looks terrible, apologised
Sikhulu. Apart from the pools murky green water, the jungle gym not
far from it is in very bad shape.Transport is also an issue,
highlighted Sikhulu. Transport is one of our biggest bottlenecks,
she added. Living opposite the shelter, Sibusiso Nkosi helps out by
offering up his private vehicle to collect food as well as to
transport the women and children.Shalom House of Refuge currently
empowers the women with sewing skills the women at the house are
making pillows. We are negotiating with a school in Kempton Park
for the ladies to be skilled and qualified in sewing in order to be
able to use domestic and industrial sewing machines, explained
Sikhulu.One long term goal of the shelter is to be based in Jackson
Park, a nearby squatter camp, where many abused women and children
reside. We want to be based in Jackson Park and skill the people
there through the initiation of food gardens and clay brick making,
said Sikhulu.We are really intending to grow this place from
strength to strength and we plan on getting our own property in the
future. However, we need support so we can rehabilitate and empower
more women. It will be a shame if the doors have to close when we
are making such a difference in the community. This is just the
beginning, said Sikhulu.

Gold Reef city is in the process of renovating various outlets,
part and parcel of the complexs multi-million rand development
upgrade scheduled to be completed mid 2015. Back O The Moon is one
of the restaurants that was renovated and completed in December
2014 and it promises to bring an exclusive gourmet experience to
its guests. As part of this new experience, Chef Preshanthan Pillay
has joined the restaurant as Executive Chef. Chef Pillay joined the
Gold Reef City team in January 2015 as Executive Chef, after
working at Moyo Restaurant in Melrose Arch and at Grand West Casino
Sun International in Cape Town. With over 16 years of experience in
the food industry, Chef Pillay hopes to add a culinary twist to
Back O The Moon. One challenging aspect of my job is that diners
are now more educated and have become conscious of what they eat
due to the number of reality cooking shows now available. This
makes them question the food that arrives on their plates, making
our jobs as chefs more challenging yet satisfying to push the
boundaries even further, says Pillay. With that said, cooking is
very interesting and it keeps me on my toes. What happens in the
kitchen is unpredictable but nothing gives me more joy than to see
my recipe come together or the smile of satisfaction on a guests
face as they appreciate the creation presented to them, he adds.

Taxi drivers are probably the best drivers on our roads.
Technically, they are superb. They can park anywhere, stop
anywhere, drive anywhere and they do it day in and day out, from
dawn to dusk, during rush-hour, in good weather and bad.At tjaile
(knock-off) time around Johannesburgs infamous Noord Street taxi
rank, Quantums slide effortlessly past each other in all directions
with mere centimetres to spare while their drivers pick up new
passengers, drop off others and exchange greetings with each other.
A few years ago, SABC news showed a taxi driver posing with a
vehicle that looked somewhat the worse for wear after crossing a
bridge somewhere in the North West or Limpopo. This remarkable man
should have won a medal for his efforts. It was the rainy season,
and, as he was driving across the bridge with a full load of 15
passengers, it gave way. Somehow, he managed to fly the vehicle to
the opposite riverbank; and, incredibly, not one of his passengers
was seriously hurt.More recently, the writer of this article had
the privilege of driving along with taxi driver Bra Vusi (real name
withheld) around Gauteng for a day. He was a much better navigator
than Google Maps and superb at negotiating parking wherever and
whenever it was needed; but rather impatient with the drivers
failure to take advantage of absolutely every opportunity to join
the fast lane. Theres a gap on your right indicate and move! became
a constant refrain. It is a fact that taxi-drivers are aggressive
and often intimidate other drivers. They do not always observe the
rules of the road or maintain the roadworthiness of their vehicles
sufficiently. According to statistics found on the Arrive Alive
website, out of the 36 people who die on our roads every day, three
die as a result of accidents in which taxis were involved.Clearly,
a typical day in the life of a taxi-driver is a difficult one. He
(there are very few women who do this job) always rises before
dawn, drives all day, shares the road with motorists who hate him
and has to make good time in an old and often unserviced vehicle
while keeping the peace among his passengers who may all have
different tastes in music.It is usually not the taxi-driver who
wants to stop just anywhere, but his passengers
who insist on being dropped at their exact des t ina t ions .
Also, taxi-drivers feel the stress of rush hour more than anyone
else because they experience it from beginning to end. Outside
these times, they are comparatively calm and serene, very often
being quite generous about helping other motorists to change lanes.
The greatest stress, however, felt by drivers of taxis is the need
to deliver to their bosses. Every day they are required to hand
over a lump sum of cash before they can take any money home.Bra
Vusi shared a very meaningful story of his encounter with an irate
Alberton driver. Furious because Bra Vusi had just cut in front of
him and stopped his Quantum at some random point in the road, the
Alberton man parked his 4X4 vehicle behind him, climbed out and
hurled foul language at him. Bra Vusi kept his cool and explained
his situation to the angry motorist. I drive like this, he said,
because I have to hand over money to my boss every day before I can
take a cent home to my family. If I do not transport enough
passengers, even after driving people around for more than 12
hours, I will have nothing to take home. Bra Vusis words gave the
Alberton motorist a change of heart. How much do you need? he
asked. R600, answered Bra Vusi, and the now chastened motorist took
out his wallet and gave him the money. Many taxi-drivers need to
clean up their image including the vulgar signs some of them stick
to their back windows but these much maligned members of our
society provide an essential service.According to the Arrive Alive
website, 65% of public transport in South Africa is provided by
minibus taxis; buses deliver only 20% and trains, a minimal 15%.
Also, there are roughly 20 000 taxi owners in our country and the
industry employs about 200 000 of our workforce. For now at least,
the taxi industry is here to stay.
Often misunderstood, the average domestic cat can in fact make a
great companion animal. While he or she will boast that impervious,
arrogant air about themselves, it makes perfect sense when one
thinks that at a specific time in our history the cat was held in
high esteem there is evidence to support that the ancestry of the
majority of the worlds cats can be traced back to the felines of
ancient Egyptian times when cats were considered to be
demigods.Furthermore, the cat is intrinsically a hunter; so when
they proudly present a smelly offering to you sometimes still alive
and twitching dont scold them too harshly as after all in days gone
by this would have been his or her meal ticket and way of survival.
Now as much as some value their domestic cats, how do people feel
about feral cats? We believe that their valuable role in society
also needs to be acknowledged. Feral cats are probably the most
eco-friendly rodent controllers you are likely to find.Unlike dogs,
which were bred at one stage to be good ratters, cats did it all
naturally and continue to do so. However, because they were not as
visible due to their aloof and shy nature coupled with negative
branded superstition, they were not seen to be of any value by the
humans they shared their environment with.Cats, and in particular
feral cats, are probably one of the most effective ways of
controlling
burgeoning rodent populations. A healthy feral cat can catch
anything between 10 and 14 rodents per night. When equated to
kilograms, this represents over 90 kilograms of rodents per year.
Therefore it makes sense to look after these feral populations
which generally occur in warehouses, the grounds of shopping
centres, office parks, residential flats and so on. The Animal
Anti-Cruelty League has a very effective way of managing these
populations through its Trap, Neuter and Release Programme. We
advise that caretakers and staff of companies and residential
complexes should forge relationships with feral cats.Owners and
managers need to be aware that permanent removal of feral cats will
only create a vacuum for other feral cats to fill. The wisest
solution is to trap and remove the feral cats and get them
vaccinated and sterilised and then returned to their original
location. Feral cats can also play a major role when containing
rodent infestations on farms and stables. Rodents can negatively
impact farmers financially through the feed they contaminate as
well as the disease they can pass on to livestock. Given the
chance, feral cats can become a new best friend for all. They are a
green, safe and economically viable alternative to conventional
rodent eradication methods. Make a feral friend today!

Schools are i n c r e a s i n g l y seeing the benefits of going
green through energy and water saving initiatives in the face of
spiralling utility costs, says Brian Wilkinson, Chief Executive
Officer of the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA).
However, there is a lot more that can be done and schools need to
be educated about the benefits.With the 2015 school year now
underway countrywide following the back to school rush, it is an
opportune time for school leaders and governing bodies to look more
seriously at the benefits of green initiatives. While the main
benefit may be cost savings, there are other positive outcomes,
including promoting going green to learners in their formative
years, says Wilkinson.The start of the new school year is also a
time when many schools face the stark reality of a lack of funding
and infrastructure problems, with a larger number of learners to
cater for.Wilkinson comments: Financial management has become a key
responsibility for school principals, staff and governing bodies
who, at times, have very few options at their disposal. Research
done and reports on the state of schools in the country convey a
lack of funding, poor infrastructure, inadequate equipment and the
sometimes dire state of school property, buildings and
playgrounds.The greening of schools offers a unique
opportunity to address these issues and is an
extraordinarily
cost-effective way to enhance student
learning, reduce health and o p e r a t i o n a l costs and, u l
t i m a t e l y , i n c r e a s e quality.The key motivator of
the GBCSA and the green building
initiative is the fight against global warming,
climate change and the effects that each of these are having on
our planet. Learning centres should provide prime opportunities for
their inhabitants not only to do well on the school front, but also
to do good on the environmental front too, he added.Through its
residential-focused My Green Home challenge, the GBCSA has seen
positive results. The initiative saw the Ngewana family from
Pinelands in Cape Town accept the challenge, with a complete green
retrofit of their home. To date, electricity usage at their home
has fallen by 53%; water use by 44% and waste to landfill by 81%.
This translates into a direct annual saving of about R18,000.
Imagine that R18,000 in the life of a poorly resourced South
African school, says Wilkinson.Through encounters with those in our
green network, we have found that there are green solutions that
schools can implement in order to help them tackle their pressing
budgetary needs. The benefits go beyond savings on utility costs at
schools. Positive lessons the learners get to absorb through their
exposure to green alternatives at school create an all-round
win-win situation, he said. Green initiatives must be implemented
at even more schools countrywide. Public schools in particular need
to be empowered to be able to implement such initiatives, as many
grapple with the dilemma of reducing their operating costs. Cost
savings from going green can then be redirected to other important
priorities such as better facilities and resources , says
Wilkinson.

Residential estates are in demand for good reason the
environment is secure and well maintained; residents can often
access recreational and shopping facilities on site, and entry is
privileged. But security at these enclosed estates can go very
wrong. Quite often this is because the multi-dimensional aspects of
estate security are not integrated, creating gaps in the system
with no single point of authority or accountability.This is
according to Leon Cahill, design specialist, enterprise security at
the Jasco Group, a company that provides true end-to-end converged
solutions across interlinked sectors including ICT, energy and
industry. The Group delivers systems, solutions and integration
across the entire value chain, offering a seamless link between
areas that in the past have been separated by technology. Security
at residential estates must encompass not only perimeter protection
and 24-hour surveillance within the estate, but access control too.
Possibly the most complex of tasks, access control systems must
cater for service and maintenance contractors, staff of the
residents, the entry and exit of residents themselves and of their
visitors, explains Cahill.If there is a golf estate attached to the
residential estate, entry and exit of golfers and their guests must
be managed, as must staff of any shopping or recreational
facilities on the estate, he adds. For the security systems to
work, Cahill notes that processes and schedules that comply with
security policy requirements need to be developed. Security staff
must have clear roles and be held accountable for the tasks
assigned to them, he says.The communications and other systems such
as utilities that enable security systems must also be integrated
into the security blueprint. Where there is potential for
collusion, there needs to be a separation of
functions and service providers for example, security guards and
control room staff. There also needs to be tight control, comments
Cahill.At the head of this multi-faceted solution there must be a
single point of authority, one that monitors and identifies system
failures; is fully informed via system alerts and alarms; is
constantly aware; has the technical knowledge and skills to manage
and maintain systems and has the domain experience to troubleshoot
and pre-empt security and other challenges specific to residential
estates.Traditionally, estate managers were tasked with the
appointment and coordination of service providers and with
overseeing the various aspects of security. Today, due to growing
complexity, a greater reliance on technology, and the increasing
specialisation of specific functions, many of these functions are
outsourced.In many instances this only serves to shift the problem,
as the estate manager remains responsible for coordinating
disparate teams to get the job done. What is needed is a single
provider with multiple capabilities and an experienced team that
can ensure high-level service-level agreements are met, says
Cahill.As crime syndicates become increasingly sophisticated, the
security industry must continually evolve and so must residential
estate management. Cahill advises that it is essential that estate
managers and home owners associations pick a solution provider that
has the depth of experience and capability to deliver innovative,
integrated solutions that address specific challenges and are
sustainable, maintainable and cost effective.

The nation was shocked and appalled at the goings on at the
State of the Nation Address 2015 (SONA2015) on Thursday evening.
The president had not been on the podium for long when EFF MP
Godrich Gardee interrupted his speech to ask when he would pay back
the money spent on Nkandla.An obviously prepared Speaker Baleka
Mbete quelled this and after numerous EFF MPs raised the same
concerns, she asked them to leave. When the MPs did not, things
became heated when security personnel were asked to remove the MPs
from the chamber and a scuffle ensued.Once calm had been restored,
the DA parliamentary spokesperson raised the issue of using the
police force to remove MPs. DA MPs were unsatisfied with
Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces response to the
questions of whether the security personnel were SAPS members or
not, and staged a walk out of parliament.ACDP MP Kenneth Meshoe, a
Boksburg resident, said that he found Zumas speech uninspiring and
that he expected the president to go into more detail regarding
load shedding seeing as that is what people are concerned
about.Meshoe also said he almost fell asleep and had to step out
for some fresh air to keep himself awake. He added that the
president failed to give the nation hope. (ewn.co.za)

Portland, Oregon - Oregon officials are warning early morning
joggers and park visitors in the state capital Salem to watch out
for an owl which has an affinity for hats after at least four
people were attacked in a month.
No one was seriously hurt in any of the incidents, but Brad
Hilliard, 36, was one of at least two joggers to have lost headgear
in a brush with the bird.It was kind of amazing how it just swooped
down and
grabbed my hat like that, Hilliard told Reuters of how he became
the acquisitive avi ans latest victim early
one morning this week.It just pulled it right off my head like
it was nothing!

The first horseriding interschools qualifier for the Gauteng
Sedibeng region kicked off on 07 and 08 February at Southerns
Equestrian Centre close to Walkerville.With a total of 638 entries
over two days,
the regions numbers are improving. Each region hosts four
qualifying shows within the first half of the year, after which the
top eight riders in each individual class qualify to go through to
the Gauteng Finals. At the Finals, the top riders throughout
Gauteng compete for a spot in a team to go to the Nationals. At the
Nationals, horses and riders travel from all over the country to
compete against some of the best for individual glory. Interschool
competitions allow learners to represent their school at the shows
and to receive school colours. The Ekurhuleni show is due to take
place on 21 and 22 February.
