Prisoners can now be visited!

The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) has reviewed its COVID-19 risk-adjusted strategy, with visits to inmates at the country’s correctional centres now permitted.

“Inmate visits to correctional centres and remand detention centres shall be permitted under strict conditions, observing COVID-19 health protocols, as well as departmental Standard Operating Procedures,” said the department in a statement recently.

This follows the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that the country move to alert level 2, effective from 18 August 2020.

“It is critical for members of the public to observe that visits are limited to one noncontact visit per inmate per calendar month, and only one visitor per inmate at a time,” DCS said.

According to the department, bookings must be pre-arranged at least 48-hours prior to the intended visit to ensure proper planning.

“As a result, no visits will be allowed without prior appointment. Only visitors with face masks, as per the approved name list, will be allowed access.”

Visitors must arrive at least 30 minutes pri-

or to the commencement of the scheduled visit time. Inmates will be allowed to receive items, as per their privilege group and as prescribed in the policy.

by DCS. The department said as prescribed, legal practitioners will be expected to make prior arrangements with the head of the centre, and must have proof of identity.

Visits will be permitted to take place between 9am and 3pm on visit days.

On urgent matters, legal representatives and inmates may communicate telephonically after approval from the head of the centre has been obtained and where circumstances and resources permit.

At centres housing both sentenced and remand categories, and depending on the number of inmates, remand detainees may receive visits on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, excluding public holidays; whereas, sentenced offenders will be allowed visits on Wednesdays, Thursdays, weekends and public holidays.

“We rely on members of the public to be honest during screening in order to prevent any potential infections and cross contamination.”

“Those who have been in contact with COVID-19 positive cases must indicate, as that will allow our health care practitioners to conduct extensive screening, which includes taking of vital signs.

It is important to note that provision of false information is a criminal offense,” the department said.

Consultation visits between legal practitioners and inmates will be non-contact and shall observe COVID-19 health protocols and operating procedures, as determined

“As restrictions have been eased across the country, DCS is constantly monitoring the public health situation in each correctional centre, including community transmissions, and take decisions accordingly, based on the risk levels.

“If, at any given time, there are new or suspected cases of COVID-19 at a facility or unforeseen circumstances at the premises, this could affect visitation. Those planning a visit should always confirm their visit with the relevant correctional centre before travelling.”

The department said its top priority remains the health and safety of officials, inmates and the public.

“We will therefore continue to monitor the situation and adjust safety measures and operating procedures where necessary,” it said.

Torching of Clicks stores ‘no way to resolve conflict’ -Govt Protests influence Clicks to commit to supporting small businesses

Government has expressed concern at the vandalising and torching of Clicks stores across the country, saying it goes against the spirit of peace and respect for human rights.

Freedom Fighters have heeded the call by their Commander in Chief to shut down all Clicks stores - from Monday, September 8 until Friday by protesting and prevent its opening.

Meanwhile, the giant cosmetics chain has issued apologies for the offensive images but has also tightened up security to protect its staff and customers.

Government said while it is equally disturbed by the crude racist display by the advertisement in question, acts of lawlessness, including vandalism and burning down Clicks stores, on Monday were of concern.

In a statement, government said it noted the public outrage following the Clicks advertisement, where black hair is portrayed as “dry and damaged”.

South Africans have expressed their outrage over Clicks Stores advertising on their website that has labeled African hair as dry, damaged and dull.

Many members of the Economic

It said this goes “against the spirit of peace and respect for human rights that have shaped this country since the dawn of democracy”.

Government also spoke out against engaging in lawless behaviour, saying that this kind of behaviour is not the responsible way to resolve conflict.

As the matter is being ventilated, government called on all South Africans to resist the temptation to take the law into their own hands, to remain calm

and follow the correct and legal channels to address their concerns.

It called on citizens, who witness any form of intimidation or act of violence, to contact the nearest police station or call the toll free number on 10 111 to report such incidents.

“We remain committed to the values of democracy. Any form of discrimination or violation of human rights for whatever reason cannot be tolerated, as it undermines the progress made in building a united democratic country,” said Minister in the Presidency, Jackson Mthembu.

“Even in the face of resistance by a small minority, we continue with efforts to build a united South Africa that we can all be proud of. In the spirit of social cohesion, let us all cherish and respect one another, regardless of colour, background, gender and religion,” Mthembu said.

Meanwhile, Small Business Development Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has called on Clicks to commit to tangible corrective action by actively promoting black hair products that are manufactured by black, women,

and youth-owned small businesses.

“A non-racial and equal society can only be underpinned by an inclusive economy, which requires the empowerment of black, women and youth-owned businesses.

Any claim of non-racialism that is devoid of impactful economic transformation actions cannot be acceptable,” Ntshavheni said.

On Thursday, The Clicks Group, owners of Clicks stores and United Pharmaceutical Distributors (UPD), has committed to increase spending on small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and support local beauty, hair care brands and other products.

Clicks Group Chief Executive Officer Vikesh Ramsunder made the undertaking during a meeting held with Small Business Development Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni and a senior delegation from the department.

Representatives from the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) and Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) also attended meeting.

Youth, women and people with disabilities prioritised in land allocation The Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Land Reform and Agriculture has reaffirmed its commitment to prioritise women, youth and people with disabilities in the allocation of land.

The IMC emphasised its commitment during a meeting chaired by Deputy President David Mabuza on Friday, September 4.

“Youth and women constitute the majority of our population, and together with people with disabilities, have long been economically marginalised. Therefore, measures adopted by our government in allocating land must place these categories of people at the forefront,” said Mabuza.

At the meeting, the Deputy President called for humane yet decisive action by authorities and other land custodians in responding to the recent spate of illegal

land invasions. The meeting considered progress on the State Land Allocation plan, challenges including land invasions, as well as the Beneficiary Selection and Allocation Policy.

The Inter-Ministerial Committee also considered two bills, namely the Land Court Bill and Expropriation Bill, for processing to Cabinet and finally Parliament.

Reflecting on land invasions, the meeting mandated the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development to consider setting up an internal conflict resolution mechanism to allow government to amicably address land disputes, especially those related to land invasions.

The Land Court Bill -- whose purpose is to enhance and promote access to land on an equitable basis, promote land reform as a means of redressing the effects of past discrimination and fa-

cilitate land justice in the country -- was also discussed.

The meeting noted progress made and supported the submission of the Expropriation Bill to Parliament.

The meeting also reflected on farm murders, which affects farmers, farm workers, farm dwellers and the rural communities alike.

The meeting called on the police to take a preventative stance on farm murders by addressing underlying issues that lead to violence in farming communities.

The meeting also noted that the issue of farm murders discourages aspirant farmers from entering the agricultural sector, thus threatening its sustainability and contribution to the economy.

The IMC will discuss this matter further at its next meeting.

The JOK Foundation recently donated a food parcel to a loving 57 year old mom Callina Mhlanga Mabhongo who hails in Sakhile township near Standerton, Mpumalanga. JOK Foundation is a non profit organisation aimed at changing the lives of the needy. Accoding the founder, John Oscar Kubeka, the family requested to get help.

Fortunately their request was received by good hands, Princess Phungwayo and Pinky Makhubo who ensured that mama receives her food parcel.

Callina expressed her appreciation for the food parcel and stated that it will assist the family during the lockdown.

Multi-talented Mpho leads the way!

Meet Mpho Nyambose, well known by his alias, Mphoza The Artist, hails from Ratanda township in Heidelberg.

The 22 year old is a visual artist, a musician and leads a youth choir group in his community. In his virtual interview with Mapepeza, Nyambose says it all started with his love for music at an early age.

“What made me start singing is music.

The harmony of it touched me in such a way that I wanted to become a singer. Luckily, God gave me a great voice.

I established the group by grooming people who love singing, even if it was difficult but I finally did it,” he said.

Now, The Beauty of Youth Choir is a locally recognized musical group in the Ratanda community. With almost 30 members, the group features young people who have mastered the choral arts in a short space of time. The girls sing Soprano and Alto, then the boys sing the Tenor and Bass.

Initially, the group only performed Gospel, Choral and traditional music on local stages. Recently, a new album is on the cards and Mpho leads the project.

“I've wrote more than 15 songs this year for the group. We only sang eight on the events, concerts and competitions since we started. Now we released our first single called ‘Ubuhle be Africa’,” he explained.

Beauty of Youth Choir has performed in many places around Gauteng, including the Lesedi Arts Festival, graduations, churches and more.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mpho admits that there have been challenges due to lockdown regulations preventing them from performing and practising. But he has technology at his disposal.

“Its every difficult to push the work in this lockdown. I put the song on our WhatsApp group, then they all practice it. After that, they playback their recording to me doing the song, then I correct few of them. It requires lots of data but since we can't meet and practice there's nothing we can do. We meet once a week for meetings only, wearing masks following the laws,” said Nyambose.

When he’s not leading his music group, Mpho also draws sketches of portraits for people. He is also the marketing director at the Sedibeng Million Magazine, a publication for talented individuals in his community.

Register and support the SACRF Virtual Walkathon!

The South African Community Radio Foundation (SACRF) has launched a first-ever virtual Relief Fund Walkathon scheduled for Sunday October 25.

Tickets are available from R135 for the 5KM edition of the event on championchip.co.za which is the official sports timing partner for the Comrades marathon.

As they will be walking or running remotely, participants will receive an electronic race number upon registering and a certificate once they have completed their choice of event from the 5km, 10km and 21km editions.

“Its important to highlight that while participants will receive certificates with their official time for the event, the most significant reward is being able to make a difference to thousands of volunteers,” says Phankha Sakoane, Founding Director of the SACRF. There are some 200 community radio stations in South Africa which operate under license from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) with a combined listenership of over 25 million.

“We urge the public to support this initiative as we seek to lessen the burden on the community sector and help volunteers who are worst hit by the covid-19 pandemic,” adds Sakoane.

“We will be working closely with the participating community radio stations to ensure proceeds from the event are used appropriately”.

The Virtual Relief Fund Walkathon is one of many initiatives that the organisation has undertaken with the aim of enhancing the sector’s ability to serve the communities in which they broadcast.

This includes an online auction which will take place between 24 September and 16 October as well as the inaugural Volunteer Awards scheduled for 5 December, International Volunteer’s Day.
