Despite the “cold war” of the local football administrators, there are positive developments in this region. Firstly, Emfuleni Local Football Association will host Safa D License in conjunction with NWU Vaal Campus from 7-13 December. Safa Sedibeng is under administration and the office has since been locked because of outstanding rent.

On a positive note
As they say: give credit where it’s due and that’s exactly what TOUCHLINE is going to do. Congratulations are in order to ELFA Chairman Mondli Nkosi and his entire executive committee. A job well done gentlemen! The junior leagues are also in full swing or, should I say, underway every weekend at the various venues in Sedibeng. However, TOUCHLINE gives credit to those development coaches for being focused regardless of our current situation.
Emfuleni Local Football Association Chairman Mondli Nkosi was right when he said football is not about individuals but youngsters who dream of becoming professional soccer players. However, as much as football is played every weekend in some areas like Bophelong, the junior league is still not playing. This is a concern for TOUCHLINE because this is one area that is blessed when it comes to soccer talent. There are household teams such as Bophelong Barcelona, Bophelong Milano FC
that have been the part of the football structure for many years but they are no longer part of the league because of what has transpired in local football. TOUCHLINE advises the Emfuleni Local Football Association to visit the area and revive the junior league. We need those above-mentioned teams and TOUCHLINE is aware that there are tournaments in Bophelong organised by individuals to keep these youngsters busy. To be honest, our league without Bophelong is incomplete and I think many share the same sentiments as TOUCHLINE.
Pooe and MCS tournaments kick off Zacharia Nale
SEDIBENG.- It is that time of year when local soccer spectators flock to dusty soccer grounds to watch ‘diski nine’ at various venues in Sedibeng during the festive season. The popular Pooe Festive Soccer Tournament is scheduled to take place at the Beheman Rovers soccer ground in Evaton from December 15, while Moso Consulting Service (MCS) Tournament will take place at Pepsi, the James Ground and George Thabe Stadium from November 28. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, the Pooe Festival’s Soccer Tournament coordinator Mondli Nkosi says they invite all Gauteng teams to be part of this legacy tournament. The Pooe Festival Tournament is one of the oldest and most popular tournaments organised by local businessman
Kgokgi Pooe as part of his social responsibility to the Sedibeng community. This is one tournament that will bring Sedibeng to a standstill come the festive season with local soccer fans packing the venue to capacity for the past 10 years. This tournament is the pride of Sedibeng and high profile players like Steve ‘Chippa’ Lekoelea, Sailor Tshabalala, Lucky Mhlathi, Thabo Rakhale, Thabo Monyamane, Tsietsi Tukane, to mention but a few, have graced the tournament. Nkosi said the tournament will start with the senior teams in November and follow up with juniors on December 13. The tournament is divided into five categories: senior teams, u/13, u/15, u/17 and u/19. The winner in the senior category will smile all the way to the bank with a cheque for R100 000, the runner-up will receive R50 000, third place R30 000 and fourth place
R20 000. “We are looking forward to this year’s tournament and I have no doubt that it will attract more teams as from as far afield as Soweto. All the teams are invited to take part in the tournament regardless of where they come from. “This is one tournament to which we welcome everyone,” he said. MCS Tournament is another tournament popular among youngsters in this region. Tournament Chairman Mongezi Gusha said the tournament will start with the senior teams on the above-mentioned date. He said the juniors will start as soon as they finish their exams. Pooe Festive Soccer Tournament coordi nator Mondli Nkosi believes this year's tournament will attract more participants.

In February 2015, SO and Natref were granted postponements to the 1 April 2015 compliance timeframes for some of their emission sources, regulated by the Minimum Emission Standards (MES), as published in terms of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (NEMAQA) (Act No 39 of 2004). As a condition of the postponement decision, SO and Natref are required to develop an offset implementation plan for approval by the relevant authorities, subject to an appropriate public participation process. The Draft Offset Implementation Plan provides details of SO’s and Natref’s proposed offset activities in Zamdela to improve ambient air quality through community-based projects. They have decided to implement this plan jointly. Sasol and Natref value engagements with their stakeholders to ensure that the offset plan appropriately considers stakeholder inputs. SRK Consulting, an independent environmental consulting firm, has been appointed to conduct the above-mentioned public participation process.
