MAIN STORY Close to a R1OO Million has gone off the rails, as beleaguered Passenger Agency of South Africa (PRASA) continues to count its losses for the current financial year.

Cable theft and vandalism of critical infrastructure components are said to be biggest contributor for train delays and forcing the agency to dig deep into its own pockets.

Also delaying progress is a growing new trend specifically in the Mabopane corridor where train windows are allegedly stolen almost on a daily basis.

Senior Manager: Marketing & Communication Lillian Mofokeng at the parastatal said “Our efforts to replace the windows in the past 3 months where we spent R 9 million have been futile as the same windows were stolen again. This we were doing being mindful of the winter season and now the rainy season is upon us, we are aware of the level of frustration this poses on loyal commuter travelling experiences.”

Failure to report acts vandalism and theft is also to be weighing factor to the strain experienced by the agency.

“There is a huge responsibility that lies on both us as an organisation and commuters.

These windows are often stolen en-route and commuters never even report any acts of vandalism or theft they witness. We can win this challenge if commuters can also take some level of responsibility and work with us or law enforcement agencies to permanently address this new growing trend. What we are doing is to source a different kind of window which will not be attractive to criminals and scrap dealers, Metrorail is working closely with law enforcement agencies to curb this challenge,” said Mofokeng.

Meanwhile commuters at Mabopane station are singing a different tune saying that their concerns are not being taken seriously and jobs being jeopardised.

‘Old trains also to blame for delays’ - Mofokeng of cables,” said Mofokeng Conceding that the trains are old Mofokeng said ,“It is a fact that our train are old however we do maintain them to ensure that they are able to complete their scheduled trips. Yes from time to time we do have challenges where they get break downs and in effort to address this in some trains there are technicians on trains so that we can minimise the delay. In other cases, these are commuters who stand in between coaches - which is very risky and temper with cables while the train is in motion either to force is to stop especially when approaching informal settlements or even at times to avoid using access gates deliberately as they want to evade paying.”

Passengers at Mabopane will have to wait a little longer for the roll out of new trains. “Yes new trains are operational in Mamelodi and there is plan to roll them out to other areas.

However, in March 6 of the new trains were vandalised and train crew staff assaulted. There is a new unacceptable behaviour of train commuters hijacking trains. Surely, there is a level of ownership that commuters and communities in general have to take in order for the smooth roll out of these new trains. In addition, high levels of cable theft in Mabopane corridor, is also another challenge which will make it challenging for us to put new train at this stage,” said Mofokeng.

sick and tired of getting to work late because of train delays or breakdowns. This occurs on a daily basis and we get warnings from our employers.”

Mofokeng in her response said’ “Under no circumstances does Metrorail plan to deliver a substandard service to its loyal customers.

We do acknowledge that we have recently been experiencing high levels of challenges with regard to service reliability. The key contribution to this is theft and vandalism of infrastructure and rolling stock components which occurs almost ever second day due to an open infrastructure system we operate.

Remember that trains use electricity and cannot move when there is no power. We are working with law enforcement agencies to beef up strategies to address these challenges and call upon the community to support our efforts by reporting the criminals. These criminals come from the communities and the commuters know them however they find it difficult to report them so that we can eliminate them permanently from our system.

“Commuters concerns are taken seriously and it’s important to mention that we are doing everything possible to improve our service reliability given the challenge of few trains available as a result of train burnings as and when commuters are experiencing frustrations, vandalism when there are municipal service delivery protest unrelated to Metrorail, illegal occupation of land in the railway reserve making it challenging to operate normal speed due to illegal railways crossing by communities and theft

Four Suspects arrested for murder

By Tshepo Marutha Four teenagers were arrested just hours after they allegedly robbed and stabbed a 30-year-old man to death in Ramotse, next to Kekana Gardens in Hammanskraal.

According to Temba police spokesperson Constable Herman Moremi, the suspects who are aged between 16 and 17, accosted the deceased, who was in the company of his girlfriend, with knives and demanded that he hand over his cellphone.

“They took cellphones from the deceased and his girlfriend and they stabbed the deceased several times on the upper body. The suspect fled the scene and hid at a nearby tavern at Leboneng Village,” said Moremi Police, who were accompanied by the deceased’s girlfriend, came across three of the suspects in the early hours of the morning and successfully identified them. The fourth suspect was arrested at his home,” said Moremi.

The suspects were found in possession of the cellphones and two knives they used to commit the crime. The four suspects are expected in the Moretele Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder and robbery.

By Tshepo Marutha Students at Tshwane University (TUT) Soshanguve Campus find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, this as there appear to be no end in sight to the indefinite suspension of teaching and learning by the management over ‘safety concerns.’

Responding to media queries, the institution’s management said it cannot commit to a date that academic activities which have been suspended for over six weeks will resume.

Students went on a rampage after allegations of attempted vote rigging surfaced during the SRC elections. This after a man was allegedly caught by students with ballot papers which he could not explain where they came from.

The police responded by firing live ammunition resulting in the death of a third-year student Katlego Monareng.

TUT spokesperson Willa De Ruyter; “We continue to monitor the situation at both the North and South Campuses. We will not make an announcement regarding the resumption of academic activities.

We urge both students and parents to continue visiting our website for more information.”

In the meanwhile police watchdog IPID and auditing firm SNC-Grant Thorntorn are expected to release findings of their investigations into the matter.

The students have vowed to get justice for Monareng, calling for the formation of a student bursary scheme in honour of Monareng and TUT to build a house for his parents in Mpumalanga.

Dodo’s Gives Back to Mabopane Community The Community holds a special place in our hearts • LATE SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2018 MAY 2018

Care Net is an organisation run by an incredible woman Mrs. Mmatšatši Mokgohloa and her dedicated staff. They run a school for pre-school kids in the Mabopane area. The school had become very dilapidated due to an extreme lack of funds and due to very little support from government. when we approached them to help they were in a desperate state. The timing was perfect.

Mabopane holds a special place in our hearts. We opened our fifth Streetbeat store there in late 1989 and since then, we have had an extremely loyal following from the community. Even though the centre has had very difficult

trading conditions in the past five years, our two stores Dodo’s and the newly opened Streetbeat store continue to trade very successfully with the dedicated staff we have in our stores.

What we have done with the school is install new beautiful classrooms, completely renovate the main administration block, pave the playground area, build an amazing jungle gym, install separate toilets both for boys and girls we, provided desks and educational toys for the 31 little souls. Dodo’s also contributes on a monthly basis to feeding the children each day they are at school.

Health building deemed hazardous

By Letlhogonolo Mosete National Deparment of Health civitas building in Tshwane where workers have embaked on a go slow

Lack of adequate ventilation at the National Health Department is amongst the reason why employees at the government institution, have embarked on an industrial action until their demands are met by their employer.

This comes amid claims of a fire that broke out and being quickly extinguished, carbon monoxide circulating in the enclosed building which they say poses health hazard to workers with some experiencing mild symptoms, attributed to them inhaling the fumes.

A visit by Tshwane Bullletin team of Journalists found employees just sitting at the unkept foyer of the Civitas building in Pretoria waiting to knock off, chatting whilst the reception area was left unmanned.

Fearing reprisal from their seniors two ladies spoke anonymously to Tshwane Bulletin reporters and said “We are waiting for our concerns to be addressed as the building doesn’t have air coming through because we are closed in by the glass, we are inhaling carbon monoxide from the fire that was extinguished as the result of this.”

“We cannot work under such

With the provision of quality healthcare services always in a critical state, with patients bearing the brunt. The protracted strike is directly compromising the healthcare system in South Africa The department of Health Spokesperson Popo Maja said ;“As much as people have the right to strike, they must also respect the right not to strike. He said the department could not dismiss claims that the building is making workers sick, but it had been requesting evidence of such cases from the unions for ages.”

The Public ServantAssociation (PSA) Assistant Manager Reuben Maleka in an affidavit to the court said “The department had neglected to maintain a safe working environment, thus subjecting its members to work in an environment that is harmful to their health and wellbeing and that in its own accord is a violation of their constitutional rights.

Meanwhile City of Tshwane Mayor is said to be formulating a plan of action to address the issue of old, dilapidated and uninhabitable buildings in the city

One of the RDP houses with a gapping crack on the outside that has infuriated the beneficiaries

By Tshepo Marutha The former residents of ‘Marry Me’ informal settlement who have been moved to a new RDP housing development in Extension 19, Soshanguve are crying foul over the major defects on the houses that have been allocated to them.

They claim that they were forced to sign ‘Happy Letters’ an (official document that symbolises that all parties are satisfied with the state of the houses) during the hand over.

While on the contrary they were moved into houses with gaping

cracks on the walls that water seeps through during rainy days, mismatching taps that are not properly fitted, non-functioning solar geysers on the rooftops and ruptured wooden door panels and windows that are falling apart.

A Community Leader, Kedibone Chiloane said they have on numerous occasions tried to alert the City of Tshwane, Gauteng Department of Housing but their call for help keeps on falling on deaf ears.

“I am worried that the situation will ultimately get out of hand

with the looming rainy season. The cracks on the walls are getting bigger and bigger by the day. We have been told several times by the sub-contractors that we are ungrateful because we got the houses for free.” said Chiloane.

Her neighbour Zondiwe Mhlanga put the blamed the sub-contractor for the poor workmanship; “They wanted to save money at all cost hence we have to deal with all the defects. They used ‘Nyaope Boys’ to build some

This comes after a spike in number of theft of stock and equipment incidents, at the storage facilities of the aggrieved informal traders.

Having no faith in the police they did their own detective work and allegedly apprehended a suspect They then administered their own method of justice to one of the houses. Most people are unemployed and they do not have money to fix the houses on their own.”

The Chairperson of the International Relations in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) Masefako Dikgale also raised her concerns over poor workmanship on the houses during a service delivery oversight visit to the area.

we don’t condone such acts, we strongly advice people to desist from taking the law into their own hands irrespective of their grievances. Everyone is equal before the law. We urge community members not to be part of such criminal activities or they will find themselves on the wrong side of the law and with a criminal record.”

In an effort to address the situation Dikgale has called for a meeting with the Gauteng Department of Human Settlement, the main contractor (Faranani Properties), subcontractors and beneficiaries to find a solution.

She and her delegation said they were concerned about reports of subcontractors who were not paid for three years.

Angola wins big at awards

By Letlhogonolo Mosete Winterveldt born and bred scriptwriter Sello Maseko’s labour of love “Angola” stole the spotlight as it won three awards at the Arts Incubator Trade Fair held at the Market Theatre recently.

The musical play won three out of the seven awards that were up for the taking.

These are; Best Script-Sello Maseko, Best Male PerformerSoyiso Ndaba Best Stage Manager- Sibusiso Khwinana.

Angola celebrates names of struggle heroes that never made it into the history books of our country. It is based on true events of a generation of committed cadres who envisioned a society that is free from any kind of slavery and oppression. They defied the Apartheid system and fled the country to join the armed struggle in Angola with a mission to attain Freedom.

But their revolutionary route was met by an enemy agent that infiltrated them and they all lost one important aspect of the revolution, “Trust”.

The production premiered at the State Theatre in March 2018 under the Incubator Programme.

State Theatre Chief Executive Officer Dr Sibongiseni Mkhize said he was proud of Angola’s representation of the State Theatre and particularly the Education Youth Children’s Theatre (EYCT) department.

Addressing a room full of staff and cast how the show managed to capture audiences in its two performances. “People came to see me and engaged me after the show. They shared with me how they were moved by the story.

Angola reminds us who we are and where we come from as a country,” said Mkhize.

Artistic Director, Aubrey Sekhabi congratulated the team for their hard work and said he was most excited that they won

Music organisations impart valuable information

By Letlhogonolo Mosete Intellectual property rights education came to the fore as music rights associations came to shed light to artist from previously disadvantaged communities regarding royalty income.

Representatives of SAMRO, SAMPRA, CAPASSO, RISA, AIRCO, MASA and the DTI passed valuable information to upcoming and established music artists and music businesses on how to manage and grow a music business at Es’kia Mphahlele Library recently.

The main aim of the workshop was to educate artists on the value and protection of IP rights and music registration. The different organisations informed artists on the royalty system and royalty receiver criteria. They also identified resources for music production and master copy ownership.

“There are six royalties in total that an artist can get from one single song,” said Stanley Khoza from the Association of Independent Record Companies of South Africa who was a guest presenter. So if one original song goes viral and is registered correctly with all the relevant entities, an artist can get paid six times. This can only happen if an artist knows which channels to follow in terms of registering their brand and company.

“Black ownership is where we are trying to move,” said

PROPERTY Bulletin

One of the speakers addressing attendees at the music awareness event Francina Ntsimane from the Gauteng Department of Economic Development. The aim was to make artists aware not to relinquish their copyrights when returning to their studios.

They needed to be aware of copyright and performance protection legislation and what it meant to them as artists to have copyright on their own creative ideas and music.

Music business is not a celebrity business and,in order to have a successful business, music business owners should convert their businesses into solid structures. Since the music industry was a lively industry, artists needed to be fully involved in it. They should have a clear understanding of how

the industry works and what channels need to be followed in order to run a successful business.

The participants were treated to the presence of the famous Selaelo Selota, a jazz artist, who advised upcom-

PROTEAS GO DOWN FIGHTING AGAINST DIAMONDS Spar Proteas player scoring during thier match game Despite an outstanding start, the SPAR Proteas lost their opening match of the 2018 Sanzea Netball Quad Series in Auckland, New Zealand, going down 61-44 to the Australian Diamonds.

The Proteas were on fire at the start, overturning Australia’s opening centre pass, with goalkeeper Phumza Maweni achieving a brilliant intercept in the circle. In the first quarter, the two teams were neck and neck, with the lead changing hands several times. Maweni and goal defence Karla Pretorius combined very well together, but the Australian shooters, Caitlin Bassett and Stephanie Wood still achieved 100 per cent accuracy in the quarter, which ended with

the Diamonds leading 13-11.

It was their lowest first quarter score against South Africa in 14 years.

With veteran centre court players Erin Burger and Precious Mthembu sidelined with illness and injury, the Proteas’ lack of experience in the centre began to show in the second quarter, despite the efforts of captain Bongi Msomi at wing attack. The Proteas lost some crucial centre passes and the Diamonds began to edge ahead, scoring a flurry of unanswered goals, to lead 2824 at halftime.

But in the third quarter, the Diamonds, playing in their first international since losing to England by one goal in the

final of the Commonwealth Games earlier this year, took control of the match, winning the quarter by 18 goals to eight.

They brought on Kelsey Browne

at wing attack, and the debutant injected speed and accuracy.

Proteas coach Norma Plummer substituted Ine-Mari Venter for Maryke Holtzhausen at goal

“We started off very well, and were really in the game in the first half,” Captain Bongi Msomi attack, to add more height in the shooting circle.

In the final quarter, Holtzhausen was brought back and Venter took on the role of goalshooter from Lenize Potgieter, succeeding with 10 goals from 10 attempts. Rome Dreyer (centre) and Jessica Khomo (wing defence) made their international debuts. With

a 14-goal cushion, Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander was able to make a number of changes and give most of her bench some game time.

The Proteas managed to keep pace with the Diamonds in the final quarter, which they lost by just three goals. (15-12).

But the damage had been done in the third quarter and they

were unable to make up the difference.

“We started off very well, and were really in the game in the first half,” said Msomi.

“But our decision-making let us down in the second half and that is something we will have to work on.

“We knew after the halftime break that the Diamonds would come out firing and they sure did. Yes, we should have put more pressure on them but we’ve learned a lesson,” said Msomi.

“I am so proud of the team and particularly of the new caps, and the way they handled themselves and played this big game. It’s great for the future of the SPAR Proteas,” she said.
