Corruption thrives in Clayville as residents fight for houses

by Dumisani Hlatswayo

Tswelopele residents. In 2012, we reported the matter to the office of the human settlement national. We have been told that they will need a lot of money to investigate, which they currently don’t have.”

Officials are selling houses for either R40,000, R50,000, or R80,000. According to residents, the major challenge to Thembisa’s housing crisis emanates from the government’s failure to effectively plan, and keep records of RDP beneficiaries.

To apply for an RDP house, you need to comply with the National Housing Subsidy Scheme. This means you must be: • A South African citizen with a valid ID, • Over the age of 21 and mentally competent to sign a contract, • Married or living with a partner, or single and have dependants

To apply for a government subsidy house, you need to take the following documents to your nearest customer care centre: • Applicant and spouse’s identity documents (green book or ID card), • Certified copies of birth certificates of children, proof of income if working, for example. payslip.

esidents in Thembisa continue to fight tooth and nail to eradicate the rampant corruption in the housing department.

According to residents who commented in the condition of anonymity, there is fraud and corruption in the allocation of RDP housing to people. Residents allege that houses have been given to people who are not on the list, while people who have been waiting before 1996 are still waiting.

“Look it is painful for the people who have been on the waiting list, some have passed on and left the kids behind,” said community David Mabitsela.

“When the time comes when there is a possibility that some houses need to be allocated, new Clayville residents will have a piece faces emerge from nowhere,” he of cake. “It’s just the matter of if added. According to Mabitsela, you don’t include us then we are

he spread of COVID-19 presents serious concerns and challenges for many business owners. But most of them are easy to navigate when you have a bookkeeper and Accountant by your side.

This is because it’s nearly impossible to run a business for very long without sound knowledge of your finances. And bookkeeping and accounting help you with that.

While most people regard bookkeeping and accounting as one and the same thing, the two differ.

In this article, we explore the differences between the two.

What Is Bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is a process of accurately recording and organising all the financial transactions of any business; irrespective of its size.

It focuses on recording the cash coming in and out of a business, to ensure that all your invoices, sales, and expenses are properly recorded.

Furthermore, a bookkeeper will make sure that all the accounts of a business balance.

Why do you still need a bookkeeper?

Meet Thembisa’s Bolt and Nuts business

by Staff Writer

B

olt and nuts in South Africa is a niche industry that targets high-value segments, such as the automotive and other big industries.

Over the years, the sector has attracted several entrepreneurs such as Vincent Van den Berg.

He runs Olifants Bolts and Nuts, a thriving business in Olifantsfontein. His company distributes all types of fasteners; from bearings and seals to sprockets, chains, pulleys, and belts. His business is in the heart of Olifantsfontein industrial area; they are at seven spanner road Clayville industrial “I used to reside in Clayville east. One day, I was looking for a bolt and found that it’s quite difficult to find fasteners in this area which gave me the idea to start distributing fasteners locally in this area,” Vincent told

The Olifants News.

Van den Berg said quality client service is their main priority, making them go the extra mile to their customers. He revealed: “From manufacturers and factories up to the local DIY guys, we distribute fasteners to all clients and not only specific markets.”

Asked how he financed his business, Van den Berg said his company is self-funded. “We have to work with what we have, a lot of assistance from my wife, daughter, close family, friends, and colleagues, not only financially but also physically,” Van den Berg said.

Van den Berg enjoys spending quality time with his family.

They like camping on weekends and holidays. “I also have a great passion for cars, so when the time comes to clear my head, I will be working on cars as I am also a qualified petrol and diesel mechanic,” he revealed.
