MAYOR MASINA WARNS PEOPLE ABOUT IZINYOKA! #SIYAQHUBA FRIDAYS VISITS TSAKANE’S MARIKANA INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS

“Stop illegal connections because this is endangering innocent lives!”

This was a stern warning issued by Ekurhuleni Executive Mayor Mzwandile Masina to the residents of Marikana informal settlement near KwaThema on Friday, October 14.

“These illegal connections are a threat to innocent lives while at the same time they overload the system and result in many unplanned power outages. In some instances, they result in massive electricity infrastructure damage and thus derail our electricity rollout programme,” Mayor Masina said, appealing to the community to work with the municipality to thwart electricity theft.

The City of Ekurhuleni loses an estimated R800 million a year in unaccounted for energy.

“We recently announced that we will be electrifying all informal settlements in the city in the next five years. Imagine how much

we can achieve with R800 million?” Masina said, instructing metro officials to be vigilant towards illegal electricity connections.

He said the city had already started the rollout of electricity to informal settlements with Winnie Mandela being the first area to benefit.

#FeesMustFall

S

outh Africa has experienced an intensified call for free quality education over the past few years. This has resulted in protests all over the countries universities.

This article will look into the question of is it possible to have free quality education, who will benefit in this free education and lastly which modalities will be used to fund free education. Various sectors of society have weighed in the debate with of course diverse views.

Let me weight into this debate, firstly let me start by debunking the myth that suggest that free quality education is not possible.

This view is held by those in society who can afford the expensive university fees and seek to maintain the commodification of education in our country.

There are many countries in the world who have implemented free quality education successfully, such as Cuba and Germany.

Now the debate that we should be having as a country is how we attain free quality education, modalities not feasibility.

Free quality education will benefit the poor and the working class children. This clearly

will benefit the previously disadvantaged blacks to be specific. We as the poor will not be indebted for the rest of our stay on earth and that will help break the poverty circles in our townships, villages and families.

This free quality education should be paid for by big business and the rich. The private sector benefits a lot from graduates and contributes little in their education.

There should be an introduction of education tax that will tax big business and the rich in our country. Instead of the rich only funding their kids’ education they will be able for an example through this act will fund ten (10) other students in the township.

Now this benefits our country and the poor at a large scale.

It is evident that free education is possible in our country and should be declared by our government. The private sector and the rich should foot the bill for free quality education and the poor and the working class will benefit.

Nhlanhla Nyathi is the YCL-SA Sedibeng Chairperson and he writes in his personal capacity.

MAPEPEZA BUSINESS SECTION Editorial by Wetsi Moloi

Local Municipality Lives in: Ratanda Township, Heidelberg Across the country, across all the provinces’ municipalities, the Economic Freedom Fighters have created an impact in the past 2016 Local Government Elections by acquiring a fair amount of seats in the various Councils – with some forced to create ‘coalitions’ or alliances when it came to decision-making duties in meetings.

Introducing the Lesedi Municipality’s Chief Whip for the EFF, Mr Mgidi Isaac Khithika, who also heads the party’s Council seating, is a man with multiple responsibilities in his community. Born and currently living in Ratanda Township near Heidelberg.

A firm believer in the message of the Cross, Issac Khithika has put his faith in God towards his fast promotion to the top local ranks of public servants in Government. His political activism started in 2013 during the establishment of the Economic Freedom Fighters political party, founded and led by Julius Malema.

During his political endeavours, Khithika was promoted to Convener of the Lesedi sub-region of his party, where he lead the formation of new eight branches which boast just over 6000 voters in the various parts of the municipality.

4. Pay attention to your hair.

Now that is really not a lot of time! If your first impression is not good you probably won’ t get another chance with that potential client/customer. But if you make a great first impression you can bet that that client will be more likely to take you and your business seriously.

5. Keep your shoes in good condition.

1. What do people use to create their first opinion?

Nothing gets other people’s attention as effectively as calling them by name.

Your clients will. In fact, they will notice your hair and face first. Very few people want to do business with someone who is unkempt or whose hairstyle does not look professional.

Don’t let a bad hair day cost you the connection.

People will look from your face to your feet. If your shoes aren’t well maintained, the client will question whether you pay attention to other details. Shoes should be polished as well as appropriate for the business environment. They may be the last thing you put on before you walk out the door, but they are often the first thing your client notices.

When you meet someone face-to-face, 93% of how you are judged is based on non-verbal data (your appearance).

Only 7% is influenced by the words that you speak. Whoever said that you can’t judge a book by its cover failed to note that people do. When your initial encounter is over the phone, 70% of how you are perceived is based on your tone of voice and 30% on your words. Clearly, it’s not what you say – it’s the way that you say it.

6. Walk fast.

2. Choose your first 12 words carefully.

The first move you make when meeting your prospective client is to put out your hand. There isn’t a businessperson anywhere who can’t tell you that the good business handshake should be a firm one. Yet time and again people offer a limp hand to the client. You’ll be assured of giving an impressive grip and getting off to a good start if you position your hand to make complete contact with the other person’s hand. Once you’ve connected, close your thumb over the back of the other person’s hand and give a slight squeeze. You’ll have the beginning of a good business relationship.

Although research shows that your words make up a mere 7% of what people think of you in a one-on-one encounter, don’t leave them to chance. Express some form of thank you when you meet the client. Perhaps, it is “Thank you for taking your time to see me today” or “Thank you for joining me for lunch.” Clients appreciate you when you appreciate them.

3. Use the other person’s name immediately.

There is no sweeter sound than that of our own name. When you use the client ‘s name in conversation within your first twelve words and the first seven seconds, you are sending a message that you value that person and are focused on him.

“The time is now that youth should find an expression in strategic sectors of the local economy in Lesedi. I believe that can only be achieved if young people are given the opportunity to prove themselves. Exposure is the only way they can gain experience,” he said.

The EFF councillor is also a member of the Lesedi Sports Council, which heads the development of sporting talent in the municipality.

He has passion in local youth development drove him to take this position. Khithika is married with two children.

10 Steps to Winning First Impressions

It takes 7 seconds to make a first impression!

Whether your initial meeting is face-to-face, over the phone or online, you do not have much time to waste. It is crucial for you to understand how people make their first judgment and what you can do to control the outcome and results.

Issac Khithika holds a National Diploma of Productivity from BMT College, an IDCL certificate from UNISA, an NQF level-4 qualification in Fossil Power Production from EWSETA. He also in possession of a number of other certificates from HAVATECH. In his position, Khithika has committed himself to pushing for youth representation in the municipality’s structures by advocating the creation of Youth Policies. He also supports the view that young people should head some of the projects and programmes in the Lesedi area.

Studies show that people who walk 10-20% faster than others are viewed as important and energetic – just the kind of person your clients want to do business with. Pick up the pace and walk with purpose if you want to impress. You never know who may be watching.

7. Perfect your handshake.

8. Make stylish introductions.

It does matter whose name you say first and what words you use when making introductions in business. Because busi-

ness etiquette is based on rank and hierarchy, you want to honor the senior or highest ranking person by saying his name first. When the client is present, he is always the most important person. Say the client’s name first and introduce other people to the client. The correct words to use are “I’d like to introduce…” or “I’d like to introduce to you…” followed by the name of the other person.

9. Never go anywhere without your business cards.

Your business cards and how you handle them contribute to your total image. Have a good supply of them with you at all times since you never know when and where you will encounter a potential client. How unimpressive is it to ask for a person’s card and have them say, ” Oh, I’m sorry. I think I just gave my last one away.” You get the feeling that this person has already met everyone he wants to know. Keep your cards in a card case or holder where they are protected from wear and tear. That way you will be able to find them without a lot of fumbling around, and they will always be in pristine condition.

10. Match your body language with your verbal message.

A smile or pleasant expression tells your clients that you are glad to be with them. Eye contact says you are paying attention and are interested in what is being said. Leaning in toward the client makes you appear engaged and involved in the conversation. Use as many signals as you can to look interested and interesting.

In summary…

In the business environment, you plan your every move with potential clients. You arrange for the appointment, you prepare for the meeting, you rehearse for the presentation, but in spite of your best efforts, potential clients pop up in the most unexpected places and at the most bizarre times. For that reason, leave nothing to chance. Every time you walk out of your office, be ready to make a powerful first impression.

CASHLESS TAXI! E-ticket simplifies travelling for Gauteng taxi commuters

Gauteng minibus taxi travellers will no longer have to carry cash or worry about taxi drivers not having enough change for them, thanks to the introduction of electronic fare collection system (e-ticket).

The card-based project was launched on October 17 at the Bosman Street Taxi Rank in City of Tshwane.

The JPM Taxi Association was chosen to pilot this project, as it has been involved in previous pilot projects and has experience in dealing with the cashless system.

The project will then be expanded to other taxi routes, with the aim of completing a national rollout before 2019.

Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Ismail Vadi, who attended the launch, welcomed the idea of an eticket for the taxi industry, saying it is a step in the right direction that will result in a single electronic system for public transport in Gauteng.

“The standard that must be strived for is ‘One Province, One Ticket’, which is in line with the national electronic fare collection regulations,” said MEC Vadi.

load their FairPay cards via point-of-sale (POS) devices and kiosks at taxi ranks, though eventually these services will also be available in selected retail stores.

The project has been under development over the last five years, and has been through various phases of testing to ensure that all the components are working as required.

“In terms of South African regulations, you have to use a fully-compliant EMV bank card. So even though it’s starting off as a taxi fare collection card, it can evolve so that commuters can use it for transactions just like a debit card,” said Msibi. He said the technology also enables the easy provisioning of new services, such as incentivising the adoption of the card through reduced fares for pensioners and persons with disabilities in the future.

“The system has now been tested thoroughly, and is fully compliant with all laws and regulations, as well as requirements of all the parties involved. We are ready for the roll out,” said chairman of TaxiChoice, Jothan Msibi.

According to Msibi, the switch to the card-based system offers benefits for everyone involved, starting with the commuter.

“The first phase, which is the JPM route, is set to be rolled out in February 2017, whereby commuters will be able to

Curve Group CEO Fred Baumhardt said they believe in connecting people to opportunity and this project represents “a leap ahead for the South African taxi industry”.

“Through the use of digital technology, we can assist millions of hard-working

people to be more connected, more informed and lead better lives,” said Baumhardt.

The taxi e-ticketing system is owned and implemented

by FairPay and TaxiChoice the commercial arm of the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) is currently the sole shareholder, with Curve Group Holdings as the primary technology partner.

Apart from being able to process card payments, the equipment installed in taxis also contains a GPS device, and can act as a WiFi hot-

spot, providing commuters with internet connectivity while they travel.

The information gathered through the GPS device will go a long way toward improving driver behaviour and safety in the South African taxi industry, with a record being kept of incidents such as speeding, harsh acceleration and braking.

The data will provide a more accurate understanding of the volumes of people making use of specific routes, allowing for better fleet management and route planning.

This information can also

be shared with government, enabling it to make data-driven decisions when it comes to ensuring that underserviced areas get the required level of transport services they require.

The introduction of the FairPay card coincides with October Transport Month campaign by the provincial government, observed under the theme ‘Modernisation of Public Transport in Gauteng’.

The e-tickets will be introduced on the Johannesburg, Pretoria and Mabopane (JPM) route.
