By Staff Reporter news@inner-city-gazette.co.za xecutive Mayor Herman Mashaba, Acting EMS Chief, Mr Mhlengi Makhubalo and Cllr Michael Sun, handed four new fire engines to the Department of Public Safety’s Emergency Management Services.

The delivery of the fire engines forms part of the Department’s efforts to replace ageing fleet at various stations.

Two fire engines are newly purchased and two have undergone full refurbishment, bringing them up to a standard that is as good as new.

One fire engine will be allocated to each of the following fire stations: Florida, Lawley, Ivory Park and Eldorado Park.

Earlier this year, the City’s EMS

also handed over one new fire engine to each of the following stations: Fairview, Jabulane and Cosmo City.

“Residents of Johannesburg have over the years raised concerns about the City’s ability to secure their safety in the event of an increased number of fire outbreaks. I can happily assure residents that through the procurement and possession of these fire engines, the Department of Public Safety will ensure that the City is able to alleviate much of the pressure that has been placed on our Emergency Management Services.

Acquiring these fire engines forms part of the City’s commitment to build safe communities and therefore a safer city,” said Cllr Sun.

The accreditation gives expression to the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) draft policy on the internationalisation of higher education”, says Meyer.

Institutionally, this means that Boston carries international recognition for its programmes. Getting to that recognition has meant that their programmes and operations have been scrutinised by external inspectors of the BAC. The outcome of their evaluation of all their higher education qualificationsis an endorsement of the high quality that Boston continues to strive to provide. Boston does not just comply with the regulations governing higher education in South Africa, but also with the standards of international quality assurance bodies, such as the BAC. Students, past and present, will reap the benefits of our accreditation with BAC. These benefits include: a. Boston higher education qualifications will carry BAC endorsement. b.

Joburg Budget endorsed DIPHETOGO

The City of Johannesburg’s R59-billion budget was finally approved by the city’s council on Tuesday after having been rejected twice in the past two weeks by opposition parties claiming it was anti-poor.

By Staff Reporter news@inner-city-gazette.co.za

C

MMC of Finance Cllr Funzela Ngobeni

ouncil passed the multi-party coalition government’s Operational and Capital Budgets and Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the 2018/19 financial year in full compliance with the Municipal Finance Management Act. This is the second budget passed under the combined leadership of the DA, IFP, ACDP, UDM, COPE and VF+, with the support of the EFF, as well as the AIC who chose to support this budget.

After engagement between political parties in Council over the past few weeks, an approach was taken to reduce the tariffs for water and electricity. By so doing, Council has achieved a caring and sensitive approach to household income which is under strain from various decisions of National and Provincial Government.

Equally the tariffs approved will enable the City to generate its revenue that will drive the fundamental change – Diphetogo - to Johannesburg communities.

The Diphetogo project, at its core means real transformational change, and prioritises investment in the service delivery backlogs that plague our communities.

“We have taken the decision to deprioritise the non-essential elements, cut unneces-

sary expenditure and re-directed these savings to battle our service delivery infrastructure backlog,” said Cllr Mashaba.

The Mayor highlighted some of the key plans in the budget which include: •2018/19 sees the largest share of the capital budget for roads, transport, housing, electricity and water, going up from 54% in 2016/17 to 69% in 2018/19.

•R120 million to site and service schemes, double the previous year’s allocation, to provide serviced sites onto which beneficiaries can be settled with full ownership; •R50 million has been set aside for the upgrading of Inner City emergency housing and rental stock.

•R46 million has been set aside for the acquisition of buildings in the inner city for the purpose of creating affordable housing for residents.

•R117 million for the electrification of informal settlements “Through the implementation of the proposed tariff increases, we will work harder to improve access to quality water, electricity, sanitation and refuse services in our city.

“I am pleased that through our coalition government working together, we are able to bring a diversity of views to the table and convert it into pro-active solutions to the challenges our residents face.

“Together, and following extensive public consultation, we were able to construct a budget that will ensure Diphetogo when implementedFor the first time, this public consultation was split into a listening tour of the City in October 2017, followed by engagements with the draft budget in April and May 2018.

“Over 9500 residents formed part of the IDP outreach process, with the City receiving close to 3500 written and electronic submissions. I would like to thank our coalition partners, the IFP, ACDP, UDM, COPE and the VF+ for their development and support for this budget.

“I would also like to thank my own caucus for their unwavering support and dedicated hard work; and the EFF for their vigorous engagement with our administration.

“I would also like to acknowledge the AIC, who has broken ranks with the ANC and supported this budget as a testament to their commitment to change in Johannesburg.

“While the approval of this budget & IDP is an important milestone for the residents of this administration as well as the residents of this City, what really matters is how well we implement our budget.

“This is the budget that will begin the largescale turnaround of Johannesburg and place government at the service of our people,” Mashaba concluded.

e, as the Christian leaders of all denominations, who attended the recent South African Friends of Israel, strongly reaffirm that the Holy Land of Israel is an inextricable part of Christianity, and as Christians, we are connected to the history and future of Israel.

We are firm in our unwavering belief that those who wish to cut ties with Israel and harm it, are not only harming South Africa, but are also harming the rights and interests of Christians in South Africa, further highlighting that they are not in favour of finding a peaceful solution.

We take extreme exception at attempts to bully public officials

such as MMC Mpho Phalatse by the EFF and the ANC, for being a friend of Israel.

Although, we have been the silent majority of South Africans, for Zion’s sake, we will no longer be silent and will openly oppose those trying to prevent good and positive relations with Israel.

We believe that blessings come from supporting and praising the Holy Land, and in South Africa, we need many blessings.

Those that bless Israel, will be blessed. Those that curse Israel, will be cursed.

Those that curse Israel, will be cursed.

We hereby call on the City of Johannesburg to immediately reinstate the MMC Mpho Phalatse to her post and bring blessings once again to our beloved city.

Calls on South Africans to speak out in support for Israel

By: Jordan Moshe

T

he conference brought together religious and political leaders and other representatives from across the spectrum.

Amid cries of “G-d bless Israel!” and “Viva Israel!”, the National Chairman of SAFI, Ben Swartz, mounted the stage of the Johannesburg City Hall with a clear message. “It’s time for us to stop being a silent majority in this country. We are here to show our support and make sure that we are heard.”

Among those present were Israeli Ambassador Lior Keinan; the President of the Council of Churches of South Africa, Archbishop Mbulelo Mvubu; Reverend Kenneth Meshoe, the founder and Chief Executive of Innovation Africa Sivan Ya’ari; Municipal Council Councillor, Dr Mpho Phalatse; and several others.

When Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein stood up to speak, many in the audience were visibly moved, rising from their seats.

“When Joshua assumed leadership of the Jewish people,” said Goldstein, “G-d delivered these words to him: ‘Be strong and courageous’. These words apply not only to Joshua, but to us here as well. We are blessed with strength and courage to stand up and make our voices heard in support of Israel.”

The need for courage was further emphasised by Israeli Ambassador Lior Keinan. After outlining the innumerable successes Israel had achieved in the space of only seventy years, Keinan said that the challenges faced by supporters of the state still lay ahead.

“The BDS threatens us regularly,” he said. “They threaten to demonstrate at

The South African Jewish community and Israel has massive support from the broader, particularly Christian, people of this country. This point was made clear at The South African Friends of Israel (SAFI) “Bringing Israel to Africa” conference on Sunday.

s Dan Diker asking South Africans to forget our own liberation struggle? In his piece on May 18, Diker justifies Israeli violence against unarmed Palestinian protesters using the “terrorism” claim.

When 69 protesters were killed in Sharpeville, the apartheid security forces claimed that they were PAC terrorists.

Police said that they were acting in self-defence when they shot them in cold blood.

In 1976, the apartheid government claimed that our liberation movements were using children as human shields in Soweto. Now, we hear the same propaganda from Dan Diker.

When Diker dismisses Hamas as a terrorist group, it reminds us South Africans of the ways in which we were demonised by the apartheid government’s propagandists.

We remember the apartheid regime’s well-funded media campaigns waged

against us throughout the world that aimed to isolate and falsely label the ANC, PAC and the Black Consciousness Movement as “terrorists”.

We remember how the apartheid government called on the world to deny our leaders entry.

Governments in North America, Europe, and elsewhere - including Israel - heeded that call and placed our liberation movements on their terrorism blacklists, and closed their doors to our leaders. During that time, it was the Palestinians who supported our struggle against apartheid.

Some of those who helped vilify our liberation movements are now arguing that the values and strategies of Hamas are the opposite of South African liberation movements. This is false. Like our liberation movements, Hamas was formed as a response to political oppression.

Both movements adopted the liberation of their people and land through a

comprehensive struggle: internal uprisings, a sanctions campaign to isolate an apartheid regime, and armed resistance.

The right to resist was universally celebrated and absolute for us South Africans in our struggle, so it cannot be questionable for Palestinians.

Apartheid Israel continues to brutalise Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Gaza is an open air prison whose population is collectively, and brutally, punished for choosing Hamas as its representatives.

Submit or fight. These were the two choices facing South Africans during our struggle against apartheid. Like us, Palestinians have also chosen to fight, and refuse to submit to Israeli apartheid.

In Gaza, the world is witnessing an apartheid regime killing peaceful protesters. The world did not ignore Sharpeville, and South Africa cannot ignore Israel’s apartheid against the Palestinians.

ndile Jali is relieved to have finally put pen-to-paper to sign a five-year contract with Mamelodi Sundowns and end the speculations that surrounded his next destination.

The Brazilians beat strong competition to land the signature of the sought-after Bafana Bafana midfielder.

Jali joins an already strong midfield that bulldozed their way past their opponents to land a record eighth league title in the Premier Soccer League era.

Sundowns were swift to strengthen that department with the aim of retaining the league next season and once again be crowned African champions by going all the way in the Caf Champions League this year.

“I feel good to have signed for Mamelodi Sundowns,” Jali said. “At last this deal is done. It’s been dragging for a long time. Now I can relax

before the season starts. I have recovered from the injury, I am good to go.

I passed the medicals. Now I am ready for Sundowns to tell me when to come to training.”

Jali brings a wealth of experienced having travelled the length and breadth of the continent with Bafana Bafana and even reaching the final of the 2013 Caf Champions League at his previous club.

The 28-year-old spent four years in Belgium with KV Oostende before returning to the country to link up with coach Pitso Mosimane whom he worked with at Bafana Bafana.

“I didn’t come back to South Africa to relax and just say that I am done because I am coming from Europe,” Jali said. “I came to South Africa to win things, not to just relax and say that I am done.

That’s why I came to Sundowns. I am here to show that I have that thing, to push other players to say that guys you can do it.
