A long case of a foreign national without valid documentation dealing in the drug khat, who was arrested in October 2017 has finally been convicted.

His sentencing was delivered on Tuesday, October 16, receiving 10 years in prison for his offences. The suspect was found and arrested with the drug Khat valued at R374350 in Benoni by the Ekurhuleni Metro Police (EMPD) Drug Enforcement Unit members last year.

“Emmanuel Confidence Mba, a Nigerian national in his mid-thirties, pleaded guilty and was handed a sentence of 9 years for drug dealing of which two were suspended and 12 months for being in the country without valid documentation. The court ordered that the

12 months run concurrent with the 7 year sentence, so the accused received a sentence of 7 years effectively. He was also declared unfit to possess a firearm and the seized drugs were forfeited to the state,” explained EMPD Spokesperson, Wilfred Kgasago.

According to Kgasago, the prosecution commended the EMPD Drug Enforcement Unit for the systematic and precise manner in which they collated the evidence, utilizing cellphones and video recordings over and above the conventional methods.

The evidence was so overwhelming that the accused had no choice but to plead guilty in order to avoid a minimum sentence of 15 years.

Government committed to land reform!

KWAMKHWANAZI COMMUNITY FIRST BENEFICIARIES! The South African government is intensifying the implementation of land reform and restitution programmes so that South Africans can leverage land for the betterment of their lives and the growth of the economy.

This is according to President Cyril Ramaphosa who led a land restitution ceremony on Sunday (October 14).

He handed over 4 586 hectares of land to the community of KwaMkhwanazi in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal.

“This government is resolute in our commitment to returning the land in an orderly and lawful manner. We shall not allow illegal land occupations,” President Ramaphosa said.

He said more than 20 land claimants will have their land returned to them as part of government’s land reform programme.

“It is our firm belief that communities must take great interest in their land restitution processes and be active participants in all enterprises and activities taking place on their land.

“The concept that will be developed through piloting the Mkhwanazi land claim settlement will be rolled out to other land claims across a number of sectors and industries. This is the first of a number of land claims that we aim to unlock over the next few months,” President Ramaphosa said.

The KwaMkhwanazi community will also receive post-settlement packages and support that will assist them in leveraging the potential wealth of the land.

“Government will assist you with postsettlement packages that will develop your ability to create sustainable income and jobs from the land transferred to the Mkhwanazi community. This will deliver ongoing benefits to all of the people living on Mkhwanazi land,” the President said.

He said the post settlement support packages are designed to ensure beneficiary communities, such as KwaMkhwanazi, build on their existing presence and participation in the sector.

It shifts communities from subsistence to commercial participants and owners of businesses across the value chains of the assets on their land.

The KwaMkhwanazi community was forcibly removed from their land in three phases following the enactment of the 1913 Land Act. From 1915 to 1918 the first group of dispossession took place as a result of returning World War

I white soldiers. The second phase of dispossession took place in the 1940s, when the white farming community expanded their commercial interests in timber and cane.

At the height of apartheid supremacy the government of the time, between 1958 and 1960, violently removed landowners to cater for the expansion of the white community around Richards Bay and the Mthunzini coast.

“This community can be exemplary to other recipients of land through its active participation in the administration of funds received through the Phalane Trust.

“The Mkhwanazi land recipients, through the Phalane Trust, currently own sugarcane enterprises and the Forestry Inn Hotel Pty Ltd that operate on behalf of the community and we encourage this type of entrepreneurship.

We admire the financial savvy shown by claimants in 2011 who developed two disbursement models for funds received from rental income,” President Ramaphosa said.

The President said access to land in all its uses – from agriculture to urban and industrial development – is at the heart of access to a better life for all South Africans and better opportunities and returns investment and trade partners

“This community can be exemplary to other recipients of land through its active participation in the administration of funds received through the Phalane Trust. - President Ramaphosa around the world.

“We believe these consultations and the work currently being done by the Advisory Panel on Land Reform are destined to yield outcomes that will return people to the land and enable inclusive economic growth and social cohesion in our society,” he said.

He said no-one should exploit the challenges facing landless communities to foment lawlessness and tension in the country.

"We know that landless people cannot remain without land forever and we are doing our level best to ensure that the land in our country becomes a source of dignity, development and social cohesion, rather than of dissent and disunity," the President said.

Grant beneficiaries warned not to share new card PINs! The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has warned old age and disability grant beneficiaries to appoint trustworthy procurators to withdraw their social grants on their behalf at ATMs, post offices or at merchants.

This will prevent the withdrawal of their grants without their knowledge and approval.

The Mpumalanga SASSA said it has discovered that old age and disability grant beneficiaries are making the mistake of disclosing their PIN codes to relatives to assist in collecting their social grants.

“Revealing a PIN code to an untrustworthy person could allow that person to withdraw the social grant payment and cause undue hardship,” the agency said in a statement on Thursday (October 18).

Beneficiaries are advised to protect and safeguard their PIN codes by not writing their PIN on the card, not giving their PIN number to anyone over the phone and when making a purchase they should not let a store clerk enter their PIN number.

The agency said beneficiaries should also not ask for assistance from strangers at ATMs when withdrawing money.

SASSA encouraged beneficiaries to report any of these acts at the nearest police station. This will help protect them from criminal activities.

For more information and tips they can contact the SASSA hotline on 0800 60 10 11 from 8am to 4pm during weekdays.

The Executive Mayor of the City of Ekurhuleni, Cllr Mzwandile Masina, vowed to rename Ergo Road to Margaret Gazo Road in memory of the late struggle icon.

Mayor Masina made the pronouncement as he delivered the keynote address at the Inaugural Margaret Gazo Lecture at the Kwa-Thema Community Hall in Ekurhuleni on Thursday, October 18.

the tombstone of the late struggle heroine. Thereafter, the guests travelled to the Kwa-Thema Community Hall for the Memorial Lecture in her honour.

The Margaret Gazo Lecture forms part of a series of events which the City is hosting in honour of Oliver Tambo Month.

Early detection of the condition can lead to effective treatment and a positive prognosis. About 90% of patients survive for many years after diagnosis when breast cancer is detected at the early stages.

Regular self-breast examination and regular mammograms are key to early detection.

Presenting yourself early for treatment may result in more effective treatment, leading to a reduction in pain and suffering and a significant decrease in the loss of life.

The designation of October as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" in South Africa reflects a nationwide drive by public and private healthcare structures to raise awareness of this debilitating disease across all races and class structures.
