Clayville community inspects Mall of Tembisa

by Dumisani Hlatswayo

T

he Olifants News was invited to a site inspection at the Mall of Tembisa. The newly 42 889sqm shopping centre is set to be one of the largest shopping centres ever built in a township.

One of the community leaders who was part of the site inspection is the Chief Executive Officer of Clayville Development Committee (CDC), Johny Skhosana. He has been involved with CDC for the past two years, started off as a member and later co-opted to the position of chairperson.

“Today we are doing a site inspection in one of the biggest

malls in the East Rand. We as CDC are happy so far because there’s an opportunity for our people to be employed. We are grateful to the McCormick Group for bringing such a beautiful thing which will be for generations to come,” said Skhosana.

McCormick Group in partnership with Pheme Consulting came up with a concept of empowering small businesses and creating jobs in Tembisa. “We are grateful to Patrick Moraka for spearheading this project. There was a process whereby each and every company registered their company through Empowerploy online. Those companies were later chosen from that

process,” he explained.

“I am happy for our black owned companies. To the directors I say, guys big up! It shows that when given a chance we can do this. Not even once had we heard that there were strikes because employees were not being paid,”Skhosana said.

There have been delays in the Mall of Tembisa’s opening.

Initially announcements were made that the mall will open its doors in October 2020. According to Skhosana, the date has been moved to November. “Due to Covid-19 the mall will open in November. We are hopeful that it will be ready to open then,” he said.

Skhosana said the mall will make sure that locals are prioritised for job opportunities.

“This mall is not only targeting Clayville and other nearest sections but Tembisa as a whole. So, we are going to ensure that all job applicants that have applied online are from Tembisa,” he said. “As CDC we will be in touch with the mall to give us a progress report. We were supposed to have it but due to Covid-19 regulations we cannot have more than 50 people at once. We are hoping to get a

progress report before the opening of the mall which will tell us how many local applicants are on the system,” he revealed.

My name is Privilege Nhlapo, and I’m 33 years old and live in a squatter camp called L n J in Olifantsfontein. I am looking for work to put food on the table. As I am the only breadwinner to a family of 5, I am really desperate.

I am a single mother to 3 kids, their father passed away.

I also look after my teenage younger sister. We are currently only surviving on Sassa money which is not enough. I have worked as a clerk at one of the local companies when they were building a bridge at Irene Mall. However, I lost my job when the project was completed. I have also worked as a call center agent mainly responsible for enrolling learners for a course for 6 years, but as fate will have it, the school went under administration then it was closed down.

As if that is not enough, this year I was employed as a domestic worker on a part time basis. Due to Covid-19, my employers had to let me go as they could no longer afford to pay me since they too had to sit at home and not work.

I am a quick learner, a hard worker and good at helping kids with homework as well.

Please consider me should you need anyone with my skill set. My contact number is 064 168 3469. God bless you.

Sinkhole in Olifantsfontein fixed

by Dumisani Hlatswayo

A

while ago a sinkhole was discovered in Olifantsfontein. A sinkhole can be smaller than a metre, or over 100 meters in depth. In most cases it has no natural external surface drainage, and when it rains, all the water stays inside the sinkhole and typically drains into the subsurface which makes it more dangerous.

According to ward councillor, Derrick Thompson the sinkhole was fixed: “that sinkhole has been fixed up. Unfortunately I can’t remember the contractor’s name who has fixed the sinkhole,” said Thompson.

Sol Botha from T he Olifantsfontein Business forum has corroborated what Thompson said: “The sinkhole was fixed but there is still a part of the road that still needs

to be fixed.”

Due to a considerable amount of properties built on dolomite land in 2018, the government established a Dolomite Risk Management Unit (DRMU), which is mandated to monitor the dolomitic conditions of these areas.

Township houses expert shares tips about buying your first house

B

uying i-dladla is one of the most stressful things, and small mistakes can cost you a fortune. To help you make the right decision, we spoke to someone who knows more about houses, Mathe Moshoeshoe. She has been in the real estate business for the past 14 years. Moshoeshoe has just finished writing her first book titled First Time Home Buyer Guide. “The book actually advises first time buyers on how to prepare to buy a house,” she tells The Olifants News.

While the kasi property market has long been misunderstood by many in the property space, the value and potential within this previously ignored market segment has finally been uncovered by entrepreneurs like Moshoeshoe who enjoys working with first time home buyers.

Moshoeshoe shares some tips: n Get your finance in order “Payoff that credit card and make sure your accounts are paid on time for at least a year.

This will help you to improve your credit score. And save money because if you’re buying a property on the secondary market you will need to pay bond fees and transfer fees.

It’s also advisable that you put up a deposit for your house,” she says.

“In addition, you will need money to open new municipality accounts on your name once the property is registered on your name.”

o Make a property wish list Your wish list can include questions like: what kind of neighbourhood would you prefer?

What school systems do you want to be near to? What architectural styles of homes do you like? And so on. p Fill out home loan applica-

tion form “Banks need pays lips, 3 months or 6 months bank statements, and ID copy. You must sign consent for the bank to do an ITC check, sign Offer to Purchase for property which must have the seller’s details with contact numbers, street name, etc.”

According to Moshoeshoe if you earn as little as R5000 you can still qualify for a home loan. She says a government programme called FLISP subsidy helps first time buyers.

The subsidy is paid to your bank or financial institution and will reduce your monthly loan installments, making it more affordable to purchase a home. People earning R3 501 to R22 000 may qualify for the FLISP subsidy if they meet all the criteria.

Mall of Tembisa donates over 100 000 maize meals

T

he Mall of Tembisa has donated over 100 000 to the community of Clayville and surrounding areas. As many families continue to go to bed on a hungry stomach following job losses, the mall in partnership with the One People Fund, decided to distribute maize to make sure families have something to eat.

People came out in large numbers and queued outside the mall to receive a 12.5kg bag of maize that will provide sustenance to a family of 4 for up to 3 weeks. “The CEO of Mall of Tembisa is part of One People Fund which is the drive to donate food. One People Fund is supported by a number of funders, Mall of Tembisa mother company is one of them. Mall of Tembisa works through Pheme Consulting which works through Clayville Development Committee (CDC) and Montedi Community Movement (MCM) to reach out to various communities,” said Patrick

Moraka, CEO at Pheme Consulting.

Moraka said the One People Fund initiative came about just after the lockdown was implemented on the 29th of March early this year. “One People Fund saw the need to lend a helping hand as the need for food was rising and becoming an emergency. To date, One People Fund has donated hundreds of tons of maize meal and other food parcels to many communities. This particular area is receiving its second round of maize meal from this initiative,” Moraka revealed.

He added: “The initiative is very important and plays a much needed role during these trying times emerging out of the Covid19 pandemic. Social grants and government led initiatives are not enough to cater for the needs of the economy is expected to last 18 to community. An extended hand from 24 months. Hence One People Fund the private sector is highly needed,” has partnered with Mall of Tembisa, Moraka said.

a farming programme as part of future Good Security.

“This initiative is a pilot towards a much bigger scale program. The food produced in the farm will be sold within the mall with some

tenants like Imbizo Shisanyama already pledging to source vegetables from this garden. Members of this initiative were sourced from the very same community,” said Moraka.

DJ Sbu Launches Kasi Soft Drinks

by Staff Writer

A

hot new range of 12 soft drink products from Dj Sbu’s brand, MoFaya, has hit the South African market. It features fresh new flavours and a sparkling use of kasi lingo in the product names.

MoFaya, a black-owned beverage company in South Africa, has gained considerable ground in the African market since launching five years ago, and is now established in the top-tier energy drink range by volume. Siphiwe Shongwe, MoFaya’s ‘Firestarter’ co-founder and partner with DJ Sbu, who boasts the designation, ‘Chief Hustler’, had the aim of creating a strong and authentically African-inspired nonalcoholic beverages brand in South Africa and Africa with a strategic plan that comprises four ‘chapters’.

Shongwe says the first chapter opened with the launch of the first energy drink variant, followed by three additional flavours and accompanied by high intensity marketing strategies. “We have achieved what we planned in chapter one, and we are now moving into chapter two

names are a reflection of just that – those who know … know!” He is quick to add that translations of the names will be freely given to “those who don’t know and want to know”.

MoFaya has also made a name for itself as an empowering company, encouraging entrepreneurship, sharing knowledge and opportunities, and building success. Shongwe explains, “MoFaya has set its business ethos around encouraging the spirit of rolling up your sleeves and making it happen – which we loosely translate as ‘hustling’. Our hope is that this launch will ignite passion in those who have started to empower themselves, and in those who are thinking of starting a small business – particularly in this tough economy.”

DJ Sbu notes that “MoFaya has been doing incredible work in line with government’s narrative and drive towards youth empowerment, creating jobs, teaching entrepreneurship and business, and living, breathing, walking, and preaching it, to become a true patriotic organisation that has overcome the odds many times over to prove that we are here to stay.”
