InvestSA Gauteng One Stop Shop has been officially launched on Wednesday, April 11.

Minister of Trade and Industry Dr Rob Davies (MP) launched the InvestSA Gauteng One Stop Shop (OSS) on 10 April 2018.

He said the OSS is part of a Presidential priority to improve South Africa's service delivery to all investors, and is an excellent model of intergovernmental collaboration between the three spheres of government.

The aim of the InvestSA Gauteng centre is to provide a convenient, professional service for setting up a business.

An investor will make an appointment,

meet with a government representative to explain the services required and be guided by the representative.

The Gauteng Premier David Makhura said the One Stop Shop will significantly shorten and simplify administrative procedures and guidelines for issuance of business approvals, permits and licenses; thereby removing bottlenecks faced by investors.

Minister Davies and Premier Makhura was joined by CoGTA minister Dr. Zweli Mkhize, Gauteng Economic Development MEC Lebohang Maile and ambassadors from countries like France at the official launch.

The OSS is located at the economic hub Sandton, in the City of Johannesburg.

On Tuesday, April 10, the City of Ekurhuleni organized the annual wreath laying ceremony that was attended by government leaders, political figure-heads, the community and Hani family at the Thomas Nkobi Memorial Park in Boksburg, This is where Chris Hani’s grave, his Memorial and Walk of Remembrance sites are situated. The dignitaries took turns in paying their respects to the fallen struggle hero, who was assassinated on the same day 25 years ago.

Thembisile Martin “Chris” Hani was renowned for his fearlessness and impeccable leadership qualities, led the anti-apartheid struggle until his assassination on 10 April 1993 outside his home in Dawn Park, Boksburg.

He was a leader of the military wing of the ANC, uMkhonto We-Sizwe and the South African Communist Party (SACP).

Leaders from national government, SACP, SANCO, COSATU and the MKVA laid wreaths on the grave of Hani. The City mayor Cllr Mzwandile Masina, City councillors and council chief whip Jongizizwe Dhlabathi joined the leaders in delivering messages of support to the family of Chris Hani.

Dali and Rachel Tambo also joined the dignitaries to pay their tributes to Hani.

To honour the lasting legacy of Hani, Ekurhuleni has bestowed the Freedom of the City to Chris Hani posthumously in November 2006 and has declared April, the month in which he died, the Chris Hani Month. Since then, the wreath-laying ceremony has been head of the programmes made by the the City every year.

To pay tribute to him for his selfless contribution to the liberation of the oppressed masses, the city rolls out a month-long programme to champion the ideals for which he stood.

In March last year, the Chris Hani’s grave, Chris Hani Memorial and Walk of Remembrance were declared National Heritage sites by the South African National Heritage Agency.

This year the City of Ekurhuleni’s Heritage Services submitted nominations to Provincial Heritage Resources Authority – Gauteng (PHRA-G) for the Chris Hani House situated at 02 Hakea street Dawn Park, Boksburg to be declared as a National Heritage Site.

The Chris Hani Photographic Exhibition, depicting the life of Chris Hani will be opened for public viewing for free at the Springs Art Gallery from 21 April to 21 May, from 09:00 to 16:30 during week days, while it will be open from 08:00 to 12:00 during weekends.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE MOTHER OF THE NATION!

REST IN PEACE WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA

PART 1 OF 2 THE FULL HISTORY OF MAMA WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA (1936-2018)

Early Years

N

omzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela was born, the fifth of nine children, in the village of Mbongweni, Bizana, in the Transkei on 26 September 1936. During her infant years her father, Columbus, was a local history teacher. In later years he was the minister of the Transkei Governments’ Forestry and Agriculture Department during Kaizer Matanzima's rule. Her mother, Nomathamsanqa Mzaidume (Gertrude), was a science teacher.

As a young girl, Winnie’s family moved around within the former Transkei, due to her father’s work. She attended primary school in Bizana but when she was nine years old, the family moved to eMbongweni, where as well as attending school, Winnie would help her father to labour on the farm.

This helped create a closer bond with her father, who was known for his aloofness despite wielding a great love for his children.

Colombus, to all intents and purposes, was a proud man who greatly valued educated and who saw the importance of educating his children about their Pondo roots as well as traditional academic subjects.

When Winnie was still young, two tragic events hit.

Firstly her elder sister, Vuyelwa, contracted tuberculosis and died – an event which shook Winnie’s belief in the God her mother had ardently prayed to during her daughter’s demise.

Secondly, soon after her sister’s death, Winnie’s mother also developed the disease and died. However, shortly before her mother passed away she gave birth to a baby boy, whom Winnie took responsibility for during her mother’s incapacitation, and after her death.

Apartheid In 1945, when she was only nine years old, Winnie had her first conscious experience of what the strictures and injustices of racism and apartheid meant in South Africa.

News had just arrived in Bizana that the Second World War had ended, and celebrations had been scheduled.

Along with her siblings, Winnie begged their father to attend, and eventually he acquiesced to their demand.

However, upon arriving at the town hall, it was discovered that these celebrations were “for whites only” and the children were forced to remain outside with their father while the white population enjoyed the merriment within.

The obvious injustice struck a deep blow for Winnie, and thereafter she grew increasingly sensitised to the inequality of the world around her.

It is worth reiterating that Winnie was already politically interested and involved in activism long before she met her future husband (Mandela)

ISSUE #15 - 13 April 2018

Mandela

” Education Luckily for Winnie, Bantu education – the hated Apartheid policy of introducing separate education syllabi for Whites and Blacks – was only introduced in the early 1950s.

Therefore she was able to benefit from an education that was on par with her White peers at the time. She passed her junior certificate (Standard 8) with distinction and then went on to study at Shawsbury, a Methodist mission school at Qumbu.

It was there that she matriculated and distinguished herself as a person with exceptional leadership qualities. It was also there, under the tutelage of teachers who were all Fort Hare graduates, that she began to become more politicised.

Due to financial constraints, Winnie’s sister, Nancy, to whom Winnie was close, dropped out of school and worked casual jobs to ensure that Winnie’s education could continue.

When Winnie returned from Shawsbury with a first-class pass, she discovered that her father had remarried. His new wife was a woman by the name of Hilda Nophikela, whom all of the Midikizela children welcomed into the family fold, especially Winnie.

Life in Jozi

In 1953, upon her father’s advice, Winnie was admitted to the Jan Hofmeyr School of Social Work in Johannesburg, where Nelson Mandela (who was already gaining national renown), was the patron. It was the first time she left the Transkei and a formative moment in her life.

It was in Johannesburg that she saw the full effects of Apartheid on a daily basis, but also where she discovered her love of fashion, dancing and the city.

It was only after a few months of living in Johannesburg that Winnie first went to Soweto.

She completed her degree in social work in 1955, finishing at the top of her class, and was offered a scholarship for further study in the USA. However, soon after receiving the scholarship offer, she was offered the position of medical social worker at the Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg, making her the first qualified, Black member of staff to fill that post.

Following an agonising decision about whether to leave and further her academic career in the USA, or to stay and pursue her dream of becoming a social worker in South Africa, she decided to remain in South Africa.

Whilst working at the hospital, Winnie’s interest in national politics continued to grow. She moved into one of the hostels connected to the hospital and found that she was sharing a dormitory with Adelaide Tsukudu, the future wife of former African National Congress (ANC) president, Oliver Tambo.

Indeed, Adelaide would confide in Winnie while they were in bed at night about the brilliant lawyer she would soon marry, and his legal partner, Nelson Mandela. It also transpired that Tambo happened to be from Bizana, like Winnie, making them members of the same extended family.

It is worth reiterating that Winnie was already politically interested and involved in activism long before she met her future husband. She was particularly affected by the research she had carried out in Alexandra Township as a social worker to establish the rate of infantile mortality, which stood at 10 deaths for every 1,000 births.

Winnie was twenty two when she met Nelson, and he was sixteen years her senior. He was already a famous anti-apartheid figure and one of the key defendants in the Treason Trial, which had commenced the year before, in 1956. From the very beginning, Nelson was ensconced in the Liberation Struggle, and the parameters of their romance were set by his commitment to political change. On March 10 1957, Nelson asked Winnie to marry him and they celebrated their engagement together in Johannesburg on 25 May 1958.

Despite government restrictions on the movements of Treason Trial defendents, Winnie and Nelson got married on 14 June 1958, in Bizana.

The celebration caught the national interest and was reported in publications such as Drum Magazine and the Golden City Post.

Their marriage was to prove both robust and fraught. Winnie quickly discovered that life married to one of Apartheid’s most famous opponents was a lonely one. Her husband was incessently busy with ANC meetings, legal cases and the Treason Trial.

The Mandela residence was also a site for frequent police raids, during which policemen would awaken the household with loud banging on the doors in the early morning and set to turning the whole house upside down. Added to the turbulence of their early married life, in July, Winnie found out she was pregnant with her first child.

On March 30 1961, nine days after the police murdered sixty-nine people during a Pan African Congress (PAC) anti-pass demonstration at Sharpeville, a police raid on the Mandela home saw Nelson arrested and Winnie left by herself, in what would become her overarching experience of marriage.

As Nelson spent increasing amounts of time in police custody or underground, the number of unsettling relationships Winnie established with people who would turn out to be police informants also seemed to increase.

Winnie had a few influential presences in her life: chief amongst them were Lillian Ngoyi, who, along with Helen Joseph, were the only two women accused in the Treason Trial; Albertina Sisulu; Florence Matomela; Frances Baard; Kate Molale; Ruth Mompati; Hilda Bernstein (who was the first Communist Party member to serve on the Johannesburg Council in the 1940s); and Ruth First.

These were people who Winnie was able to consider not only as sources of inspiration, but as trusted confidantes.

Fitting Send-off for Mama Winnie at Orlando Stadium

Family, friends, government officials, the diplomatic corps and ordinary South Africans came in their numbers on Wednesday to bid the woman who became known as the face of the South African liberation movement, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, goodbye in song and praise.

In an official memorial service held in her honour at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Wednesday (April 11), those who knew Madikizela-Mandela spoke of her as a selfless leader who was always ready to lend a hand.

In his keynote address at the memorial held on Wednesday, Deputy President David Mabuza said Mama Winnie, as she was affectionately known, gave without expecting anything in return.

“Her activism cuts across race, gender and class. Hers was to serve humanity in its totality.

She gave without expecting anything in return,” said Deputy President Mabuza.

The stadium, which is a stone’s throw away from the home of Mama Winnie, erupted in song as mourners celebrated the life of the fallen heroine.

Her daughters Zindzi and Zenani Mandela, grandchildren and former first Lady and wife to the late Nelson Mandela, Graća Michel, were amongst those present.

Government officials including Ministers, Deputy Ministers, leaders of various political parties and high ranking officials such as the Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi were also present to bid farewell to the mother of the nation.

Political party members and supporters also came out in their numbers, donning their varying regalia and singing in unison to celebrate the struggle stalwart.

Mama Winnie will receive a special official funeral on Saturday, 14 April 2018 at the Orlando Stadium.
