No water, no toilets for people of Tswelopele Ext.8

By Obedience Mkhabela and Dumisani Hlatswayo

R

esidents of Tswelopele Ext.8, an informal settlement in Tembisa, lack adequate access to clean water and sanitation.

One of the concerned residents who asked to remain anonymous said, at least 50 people have been sharing a communal mobile toilet for over two years.

“In 2018, we were moved from Duduza to Tswelopele Ext.8. We don’t have water here, water is only available at 2:00 am just after midnight. This means if you work the night shift the following day you won’t have water. It’s much better if you work the day shift, and around 2:00 am or 4:00 am, you can get up and fetch water. In most cases, water is turned off around 5:00 am but sometimes earlier than that,” the resident told The Olifants News.

“We tried to raise this issue with one of our community leaders, but we’re not getting any help. My biggest concern is that up to 50 people share the same toilet. We have been asking for toilets since 2018 when we arrived here,” he revealed.

According to the resident, the municipality has tried bringing Jojo tanks but they were placed far from where residents live. “Sometimes there’s no water in those tanks as there are many people now living in Ext. 8. We do have taps but they can’t provide us with any water,” he says.

Crime is also rampant in Tswelopele. Just recently a group of men broke into a shack through the roof in the middle of the night, when residents woke up and went out to inspect, the criminals dared

them to take them on.

EFF ward councillor, Samson Sebetha said his people that were moved from Duduza to Tswelopele Ext.8, now have water and electricity. “Some of them even have toilets.

The only people who can tell you those things are the people who invaded the land during elections in 2019. And it doesn’t fall under my ward,” Sebetha said. “There is a guy who is fighting me who is

“The bridge is another huge matter around here because when the rain pours the next morning children cannot pass through to go to school,” said Abram Hloangoane, who is a community member and Ward 1 infrastructure Committee Tswelopele Ex.8 “When we were moved in here they built that bridge but it was not high enough and now we demand a higher one,” Hlongoane said.

From Dj King Cyna and Hlokza 11, and now Patrick Modupi, also known as Dj Mozerrella.

Originally from Tzaneen Ga Sekororo, Dj Mozerrella has been recording Amapiano songs since 2017 but decided to delay releasing a full album.

“I worked closely with two producers Male-carro and Lucky Bee-truce. I have released four singles online, and as an up-andcoming artist I want to shoot a music video but I have no budget to do it,” Dj Mozerrella shares with The Olifants News.

According to Dj Mozerrella, he is employed full-time by one of the factories in Olifantsfontein and only pursues his music career on a part-time basis. He hopes to raise money for his music video before the end of 2020.

Dj Mozerrella has released a hot joint called Umjolo, a song he hopes will keep people sweating it out on the dance floor throughout 2021. “Umjolo is a song where I try to warn young people about the repercussions of love affairs.

• School Learners Writing Competition was scheduled for 20 October. Entries are to be digitally submitted.

“I try to motivate up-and-coming artists as well that if they make it in the music industry they shouldn’t be big-headed and forget where they come from. They should treat music as a business or career and use money wisely,” he says.

The Dr. Ruth Mompati Branch of ANCWL was joined by members of the community during the march to officially hand over the memorandum to the Rabie Ridge SAPS. With placards, the crowd marched from Mayibuye Community Hall to the station.

The Station Commander welcomed the crowd and received the document as it was brought to her house.

Ganeth Ngoma, ANCWL Ward 110 Chairperson handed over the document to the station commander Colonel Johanna Ngoma. Both leaders exchanged words of faith as they exchanged the document.

Ganeth Ngoma said GenderBased Violence cases have been highly reported in the area.

Community members of all ages join the March to the Rabie Ridge Police Station.

hree Ivory Park men who used to terrorise innocent victims in the Glen Austin area, Midrand, have been sentenced to 13 years each in prison by the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court for robberies committed more than two years ago.

Brian Moyana, 27, Costa Moyana, 23, and Junior Munyaradzi, 26, got the shock of their lives when they were on Tuesday (2020/10/20) handed effective 13 years in prison for robberies, with Munyaradzi and Costa receiving an additional seven years in prison for possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

During their robbery spree the trio will strip their victims naked, threaten to kill them, and forcefully take their belongings. They were arrested by the Ivory Park police one day in March shortly after committing yet another robbery. During investigations

they were found with five cellphones, of which two were identified by one of the victims as his. Their cases were meticulously investigated by Detective Sergeant Andile Mbovane of the Ekurhuleni District Trio Task Team. They have been in jail since they were arrested.

The Station Commander of the Ivory Park SAPS, Brigadier David Ngcobo, has welcomed this sentencing, saying it clearly sends the right message to other criminals while simultaneously restoring justice to the victims of these three men.

“We salute Detective Sergeant Mbovane for the job well-done.

His thorough investigation has ensured that the victims get the justice they deserve,” said Brigadier Ngcobo.

Meet Tembisa Christian Hip Hop artist

by Dumisani Hlatswayo

C

ontemporary Christianbased hip hop has been garnering steam, and Tembisa is finally catching up. Tembisa born and bred Christian hip hop artist, Katleho Mashego (27) is blazing up the hip-hop scene with his extraordinary talent. Listening to Katleho raps tells you that he means business. From the solid production of his music to Katleho’s delivery, you can tell that he is ready to take the music industry by storm.

“My music is mostly based on the word of God. I look up to a Christian artist called Lecrae, he is from the US. I follow him quite a lot. There is another internationally based artist called KB. Locally I look up to Dr. Tumi and Benjamin Dube,” Katleho says. Starting his official music

career in 2017, Katleho debuted his first-ever 5-songs EP titled Unashamed in 2019. The project was well-received which resulted in over 4 000 page likes on Facebook, over 2 000 followers on Instagram, and 4 000 followers on Twitter. In 2020, Katleho received a nomination for the Best Newcomer of the Year at 012 City Awards, which he came second in the category.

“I haven’t released a full album yet because I believe it’s important that you build a fanbase first before you can come up with an album. With this EP I am just introducing myself to the market to say I am Katleho, and this is what I stand for,” he explains.

Katleho is gearing up to release his second project titled Then Jesus Came on 6 November 2020, which consists of 6 inspiring songs.

Katleho says he worked closely with a Kaalfontein based artist, Jimmy Landrose. Landrose was featured on Slikour Online, and his music has been well-received online. “Jimmy Landrose recently took Mzansi by storm after rapping in 7 official South African languages in one go. I also worked with a lady called Dimakatso from Tswelopele. She is a worshipper,” Katleho says.

If you’d like to book Katleho or buy his music he is available on this number: 063 224 0267.
