Kgosi Shashapa rebukes judgement on him
On 30/10/2014 both Maboloka
tribal councils (Tsajoa and Lion
families) once again went to Mahikeng High Court in connection
with the review case which was requested by the Lion family against
the decision of the then Premier
of the North West Province Hon.
Thandi Modise.
T
he Commission for Traditional
Leadership, Disputes and Claims,
after thorough investigation, recommended the Tsajoa family as the rightful
Chiefs of Maboloka village. After going
through the report of the Nationally
recognized commission, the Premier of
the North West Hon. Modise gave David Tsajoa the recognition certificate as
the Headman of Maboloka. The above
mentioned commission was established
in terms of the Traditional Leadership
and Governance Framework Act to
restore the dignity and integrity of the
traditional communities and the entire
institution of traditional leadership
across the country. On 30/10/2014, the
Kgosi David Shashapa Tsajao III on the 15th of March 2014
addressing the community.
Judge of the day overruled the decision
of the Premier and the report of the
commission and gave Lion the Headman-ship of Maboloka. While passing
the judgment, he also said the reasons
for his judgment are reserved. “As Tsajoa family we are against the ruling of
the judge and we are now prepared to
go for an appeal. In our feedback meeting we had a strong support from our
community members who are behind
us with regard to this appeal. We hope
and trust that the matter will be resolved
as soon as possible.” said Mr. Tumo
Tsajoa the family spokesperson. On the
other side, the Lion family claims that
the ruling by the judge is fair and for
the best interest of the community. The
community of Maboloka waited for this
moment for years to have a court order
to rule in the favour of who should be
the rightful Chief of Maboloka. They
further said they are not afraid of the
appeal by the counterparts or anything
whatsoever because they feel that the
decision will remain the same.

N
ow they will start focusing on rebuilding the entire community and
making sure that services are provided
to the community. The Lion family
strongly indicated that the community
must not worry about anything involving the Chieftainship of Maboloka
because the Chieftainship belongs to
them. Many residents in Maboloka
supported the decision made by the
Jugde while others see unfair justice to
the Tsajoa family. According to previous information, the battle between
the Lion and the Tsajoa families over
chieftain-ship started a long time ago
since the 1950s when Bophuthatswana
was under the leadership of Kgosi
Mangope. Apparently the Lion family is
the uncle to the Tsajoa family. Madibeng
Times is reviewing the contents of
previous attribute about residents who
attended the inauguration ceremony
of Kgosi David Tsajoa III on the 15th
March 2014. Mr. Hlongwane who stays
in Doornkop said that the Chief belongs to Tsajoa and explains to us how
it happened. “Kgosi Mangope is the
one who messed up everything because
he came in the 1960s. I did not like
what he did because we had suffered
a lot under the leadership of the Lion
family. We had to pay R700-00 for
graves when we want to bury and also
when seeking proof of resident you pay
money for that.” said Mr. Hlongwane.
Tumo Tsajoa also added that their plans
as family are to unite Maboloka as a
whole and again to have developments
for the community. Because of diversity
in the culture people have separated
themselves so they want to break that
separation and make Maboloka one.
“Chieftaincy is a bloodline; it is passed
Municipality invasion by SAPS a possible
act of terrorism - AfriForum
on from father to son for generations.
Tumo John Tsajoa was the first Chief
of Maboloka from 1953, and then he
passed away in 1962 leaving his son
Mota to take over. Mota was a policeman at that time and couldn’t just leave
police. In 1977, Tsajoa and Lion got
arrested and went to jail; the judge
found Tsajoa innocent and released
him. When he returned home he found
that Kgosi Mangope has appointed a
commission of inquiry and found him
guilty and gave the chieftain-ship to the
Lion family who is the uncle to Tsajoa.” “The agreement between Kgosi
Mangope and Lion was that Lion will
be a chief for five years then return the
chieftain-ship to the Tsajoa family. But
when Kgosi Mangope’s term of being
the chief of Bophuthatswana elapsed,
the Lion family continues with the
chieftain-ship even though the five year
period was overdue. They continued
with the chieftain-ship until the 1st of
October 2013 when the then North
West Premier Mme Thandi Modise
gave us (Tsajoa family) the chieftainship certificate declaring us the rightful
owners of the chieftaincy in Maboloka.” said Tumo Tsajoa family spokesperson. It could be that the decision
ruled in court was not taken based on
the sufficient investigations or could be
that the judge was more concisely on all
the decisions she/he took.
The South African Police Services’
(SAPS) invasion of the Mogalakwena Municipality in Mokopane,
Limpopo can possibly be declared
as an act of terrorism according
to legislation.
T
his statement made by AfriForum follows after police officers
violently invaded the Municipality on
Monday without a legal warrant. The
police, who allegedly acted under the
demand of Gen. Mphalatji, assaulted
and arrested municipal managers and
ward councillors and ordered everyone
to evacuate the premises. The police
apparently also ordered that nine
proportional councillors be elected
immediately. “Athough the reason for
the invasion is still unclear, AfriForum
suspects political foul play,” said Ian
Cameron, Head of Community Safety
for AfriForum. “Due to Gen. Mphalatji’s actions the SAPS could be held
accountable for a possible act of terrorism. Police cannot invade and occupy a
Municipality as they see fit or without
legal documentation. Actions like these
makes the country unstable and permitting such actions can even lean towards
high treason,” Cameron added.
Act 33 of 2004 clearly stipulates the
following:
“The agreement
between Kgosi Mangope
and Lion was that Lion
will be a chief for five
years then return the
chieftain-ship to the
Tsajoa family”

Lourens Ra,
David, I was surprised why those

Waste transfer station project seized
“My father speaks lies about me”
“Why a waste transfer station on
the entrance of the area instead
of at the back of the location like
other areas in Madibeng does,
or is the Oukasie resemble as a
dump site with garbage all over
the entrance?”
A
fter digging up deep holes using an
excavator, the construction company appointed to construct the waste
transfer station in ward 13 was later
seen by the community residing next
to the project site packing and leaving
their project uncompleted after being
there for two months. At first, residents
were delighted by the fact that the project in its appearance will create more
jobs for them and that they will be able
to maintain their families. Surprisingly
all their dreams were shuttered after
hearing that the contractor is parting
without the job well-done. This is a
common ordeal in the area whereby the
construction company is given a task to
complete and never capitalized due to
unknown factors. Just next to the waste
transfer station site, there is a road
called Mashao road.
Apparently, Mashao road is the oldest
road in the area. Recently there was a
project awarded to tare the road, but
with no fortune. The road was only
maintained and tared half of the side
saying that the money for the road had
been used for other purposes. Later,
the money was recovered which as
well could not managed to secure the
entire road. Even to date, the road is
still pending waiting for more money
and more money to be budgeted for.
Matlhogonolo Motsepe’s respond
on the article published by the
Madibeng Times on the year 4
issue 20 on the 30th of October
2014 on page 2 titled: ‘My only
son turned against me.’
“
My father speaks lies about me, he
never maintained me, nor done
anything for my sake since I was born.
What he did was to humiliate and
embarrass the entire family by his controlling behavior.” said Matlhogonolo
Motsepe.The article referred his father
Monageng Patrick Sekati allegedly accuses him of being arrogant and turned
into being a monster. The article allude
that Mr. Sekati and his late mother
Marriam Motaung where financially
supporting Matlhogonolo with educational fees. Mr. Sekati opened a case
of house breaking and a case of fraud
against his son accusing him of stealing
a undisclosed number of Tupperwares
and airtime. With insufficient evidence
against Matlhogonolo both cases where
soon withdrawn. In his response Matlhogonolo said his father is a dramatist
who exaggerate and create endless
stories. He was the trouble maker in
the family by always causing a scene
and shout at everybody and calling
them names. “A week after the death of
my grandmother, he forcibly demanded
that I should leave the house and find
myself a place to stay.”
Waste transfer station turned into
a horrible trench.
Now, on the recent attempt whereby a
waste transfer station was supposed to
have been created. It is alleged that the
reason the construction company seized
operation is because the municipality
was not able to pay them the money required for the project, and the construction company decided to quit and call
it the day. Another reason could be
that there is no environmental impact
studies for the possibilities of having a
Transfer Station on the site. Moreover,
it is impossible for a Waste Transfer Station to be relocated in an environment
where a farm is situated. Nevertheless,
with the empty dam left on the site
waiting to be filled up by rain, residents
fear that the holes left unattended may
result as danger to the community living nearby. They demanded that the
municipality should take note of the
situation and make sure that the holes
are secured with soil before anyone get
hurt.
“My grandmother and I were very close
at heart, we wouldn’t hurt one another.
Yes, I admit that I took airtime from
her sim-card without her concern for a
good cause. I was using it for Google

and to find job on the internet.” “What
my father said about raising me, feeding
me and paid my educational studies is
a total disgrace and a complete lie. He
used to promise me money and at the
end he will say to me he does not have
it. My father is a man who wants things
to be done his own way.” said Matlhogonolo.
Matlhogonolo added that there was no
police official in Klipgat who tempered
with evidence. The matter was referred

Revitalised testing campaign launched in
the North West
Youth Jobs In Waste
The North West Youth Jobs In
Waste Programme introduced
by Tholoana Consulting to Bakwena Ba Mogopa Community has
been in existence for the past 11
months, and has been seen as
an initiative move from pillar to
strength with regards to its journey in reaching its objective of
creating jobs amongst the youth,
and building capacity for the municipality within the environmental management and waste scope.
T
he positive progress made to this
point within the four District Municipalities, including Bojanala has truly
been remarkable and it’s all thanks to a
collaborative effort by all stakeholders
involved in the programme.
As alluded, the 2013/2014 North West
Youth Jobs in Waste Programme will
be officially ending on the 10th of
November 2014.As such, Tholoana
Consulting wished to close the initiative with a Graduation ceremony
whereby brief words from the Bakwena
Ba Mogopa Administration, Department of Environmental Affairs and
HIV testing uptake among the
sexually active population in the
North West Province dropped
drastically in the past three years,
Health MEC Dr. Magome Masike
said on Monday, the 3rd of November 2014.
“
Currently the HIV Counselling and
Testing uptake is very low in the
Province…..people are no longer testing
as before. The Province managed to
test just 682,376 of the sexually active
population in 2013 compared to 1 050
809 achieved in 2010,” said the MEC
during the launch of a HIV counseling
and testing campaign in Klipgat. The
launch was attended by First Lady,
Thobeka Zuma, Social Development
MEC, Feni Gaolaolwe and Kgosi Madoda Zibi, Chairperson of the House
of Traditional Leaders in the North
West among others.
North West Youth Jobs In Waste

Community cleaning their area.
Rustenburg Municipality were to be
delivered, alongside handing out accredited training certificates to Beneficiaries. The Office of Kgosikgolo TRM
Mamogale congratulated the students
on a job well done and wished them
all the best in their future endeavors.
Prior to the graduation event, a cleanup campaign that saw the Bakwena Ba
Mogopa Community and stakeholders
pulling together took place and proved
to be a success. Tholoana trusts that the
Bakwena-Ba-Mogopa can build on the
initiative by arranging similar events in
the future.
Ngaka Modiri Molema SAMWU bites the
dust
Mahikeng - The labour court in
Braamfontein has dismissed the
court application by South Africa
Municipal Workers Union - SAMWU in Ngaka Modiri District Municipality of the alleged unlawful
lock out against the workers in
the municipality.
S
AMWU filed the application alleging that the Administrator and the
Department of Local Government and
Human Settlement had locked out their
members after the workers were ordered to remain at home for a few days.
The argument by the Administrator
was that he had ordered a temporary
closure of the Mahikeng offices (Head
Office) for a few days as an effort to
bring stability to the municipality. A
few days later workers went through a
employment validation process to be
accredited to enter the municipality
premises.
When the Administrator Kumaran
“Kulu” Nair was to assume his duties
together with the Intervention Team
on the 26th of September 2014, there
were a group of people within the
premises of the municipality who were
continuously chanting slogans without engaging in any work. Municipal
vehicles which included trucks and the
fire brigade blocked all entrances to the
municipality. Workers were against the
decision by the provincial government
to dissolve the council and put Ngaka
Modiri Molema District Municipality
under administration.
The Intervention Team assumed duties
a day after the North West High Court
had dismissed an application launched
by the municipality to interdict the
provincial government from appointing an Administrator and for the court
to set aside the EXCO’s decision to
dissolve the council. SAMWU alleged
that the action by the department was
unlawful and it constituted an unlawful
lockout of workers but the labour court
dismissed the application. No cost was
however made by the court.
In response, the North West Department of Health has identified the political and traditional leadership, as the
major stakeholders to advocate for HIV
testing, Tuberculosis screening, diabetes
and hypertension tests at least once a
year both in the workplace and community settings. The revitalized HCT campaign forms part of strategies aimed at
strengthening the implementation of
HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis prevention
and management programmes. “The
revitalised campaign builds on the 2010
success by continuing to encourage
people of the North West to get tested
for HIV at least once a year in order to
make informed decisions on preventa-

tive measures, treatment, care and support. “The campaign is not just about
HCT. Our intention is that anybody
who enters a testing station anywhere in
the Province shall have blood pressure
taken to check for hypertension, blood
sugar measurement to check for diabetes mellitus, and haemoglobin measurement to check anaemia,” Masike said.
All patients with both TB and HIV are
placed on ARV treatment if their CD4
count is 350 or less. In addition, pregnant HIV positive women with a CD4
count of 350 or with symptoms regardless of their CD4 count also start with
immediate treatment. Ms Thobeka
Zuma, who through her foundation the
Thobeka Madiba Zuma Foundation
champion cancer programmes, used the
launch of the revitalized HIV counselling and testing to raise cancer awareness.

MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement C ollen Maine said,
that he never had any doubt that the
court will rule in their favour. “The
court has confirmed that our decision
as the provincial government was lawful
as it intended to bring calm and stability into the municipality. Our action
had the best interest of workers at heart
as we needed to separate workers from
those who were rented to bring anarchy
to the district municipality. We knew
all along that the court application will
never see the light of the day” remarked
Collen Maine.

Wedding of the Week: Kagiso Douglas Letsoalo & Caroline Mashaba
Every bride dreams of her perfect fairy-tale wedding with all
the trimmings of the perfect set

the moment to embrace the bridal
couple and all their guests with a
natural tranquility.
believe that while opulence is in, this is
also driven by culture and ‘how influential and important the two people
are’. Both BaPedi and Batsonga families displayed their traditional values in
clothing and the food they prepared for
their special guests. It was a combination of BaPedi and Batsonga style. But
influential people need to nurture their
relationships with other influential people. It would be unacceptable for them
to not invite them to a family wedding.
A lot of the time the bride will say, I
can’t stand that guy, but he had to come
to the wedding! Mr. Phinias Mashaba
the father of the bride told Madibeng

to take his daughter Caroline to be their

of Kagiso and
Caroline Letsoalo
which took place
on the 1st and the
2nd of November
2014 in Mothutlung and Letlhabile. It’s not just
the Letsoalo’s who
are proving that
more is more when
it comes to saying
‘I do’. It seems the
days of the discreet, low-key exchange of rings is
gone for now. And
in most cases, ‘new

the above met, he won’t hesitate to kill
them all. Reiterating the statement, the
Letsoalo family represented by the uncle
Thomas Letsoalo responded by saying
they understand the predicament of the
situation and prepared to live up to the
heavy condition. Many people regarded
the wedding
of Kagiso and
Caroline as one of
the best weddings
in Madibeng.
They further send
their gratitude to
the couple and
wished them a
happy everlasting time together.
More especially
to the bride, they
encouraged her to
stay strong and be
the pillar of the
family. In South
Africa, extravagant weddings
have also become
a way for people
to let their hair

Botswana tourists contribute immensely to the NW GDP
Gaborone - MEC for Tourism
in the North West has called on
the people of Botswana to share
resources and explore the rich
cultural heritage of the province.
MEC Mohono was speaking during the North West Provincial
Tourism Marketing venture in
Botswana’s capital Gaborone on
Thursday, where she appealed to
the media and other tourism business people to assist the province
to unlock economic potential of
heritage and cultural resources
through responsible and sustainable tourism development.
A
ccording to MEC Mohono, the
people of Botswana frequent South
Africa on daily basis, and the Bokone
Bophirima province is the gateway into
the country. She said that even South
Africans use Botswana to get to other
SADC countries.
“It is therefore important for both the
people of the North West and Botswana
to look at tourism as an important sector that will boost the economy of both
countries. Mining is no longer contributing much as it used to and I think
it’s now time to explore this important
field.” “We also share cultural values,
and it will be more important that we
increase education level in profiling the
conservation and preservation needs
of heritage and cultural resources for
sustenance which will be in line with
the values of culture, standards and
norms”, said MEC Mohono.
MEC Mohono said that the venture
is geared at introducing the people of
Botswana to other tourism destination
areas which she said are of cultural
importance in the history of the Batswana. MEC said that the Batswana
and the people of the North West are
related and that they are just separated
by borders. “Such a relationship cannot be ignored and must be nurtured,
embraced and used to the advantage of
all. Township and village tourism is a
niche market that has not yet been fully
penetrated and explored. Both Botswana and the Bokone Bophirima Province
have the advantage of a rich history
which has long strides.
“The potential for oral traditions that
date back centuries and that would
definitely ignite the thoughts and imaginations of the tourist are endless”, she
said. MEC Mohono also took advantage of the campaign by further engaging with the Botswana Tourism Organizations in exploring future partnerships
with them.
The Tourism marketing campaign is an
annual event which is a joint venture
between the Department of Tourism
and its entity the North West Parks and
MEC Desbo Mohono and High Commissioner Mr. Mdu Lembede during
the South African Botswana tourism
activation
Tourism Board. The main aim was to
sell the destination North West and target three very important tourism groups
being the Media, Travel Trade and
the Consumer. At the time of print,
the Madibeng Times contacted the
NUMSA Regional Secretary Mr. Jerry
Morulane and he was unfortunately not
available, Mr. Morulane’s cellphone was
off and a voice mail message was left
behind.
Segopotso Leketi puts Tsogo high school on the map
This year the Eskom Expo for
Young Scientists International
Science Fair has helped put hundreds of learners on the path to
success by introducing them to
the exciting world of science.
T
he Eskom Expo unearths young scientists with potential to encourage
them to pursue careers in the science,
technology, engineering, mathematics
and innovation (STEMI) fields. These
budding scientists were recognized and
rewarded at the Eskom Expo final prizegiving ceremony on Friday the 10th of
October. The awards were presided
over by Eskom Chairman Zola Tsotsi
and Minister of Science and Technology Naledi Pandor. At the ISF learn-
ers present their projects to a panel of
judges that included professionals from
the privates sector, academics, scientists
and educators in a bid to take home a
medal or special prize or a prized ticket
to an International Science Fair. North
West province scooped 13 highly recommended projects, 29 bronze, 12 silver
and 3 gold medals. Among those learners who made Bojanala region proud is
Segopotso Leketi, grade 11 learner from
Tsogo High school.
He received a silver medal for his project on portable reader. He designed a
device which aims to assist blind people
to read printed material. Upon receiving his medal Segopotso said “I never
thought I could achieve a silver medal
especially at ISF level. Coupled with
the fun I had and insight I have gained,
I will most definitely participate next
year”. Young scientists from Mothotlung, Tsogo, Doxa Deo and Hoerskool
Brits represented Madibeng at these
prestigious event. They couldn’t stop
talking about the fun they had while
they were there, not to mention the
friends they made from other provinces.
This year has been another momentous year for the Eskom Expo with
477 female participants, versus 345
male participants, while learners from
Mexico, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho
and Botswana have participated for the
third year in a row. Parthy Chetty, Eskom Expo for Young Scientists Executive Director said: “South Africa wants
Segopotso Leketi.
to establish itself as a hub of science
research and excellence. In order to do
that South Africa needs to be producing
outstanding scientists, researchers and
technicians and attract top talent from
around the world”.
Signed infrastructure development MoU between Bokone Bophirima and DBSA
Rustenburg – Bokone Bophirima
Provincial Government and the
Development Bank of Southern
Africa (DBSA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
to commence collaboration on
funding for infrastructure development.
T
he signing which Premier Supra
Mahumapelo described as one
that is critical in pursuing the objectives
of the National Development Plan and
the conceived strategy to Rebrand, Reposition and Renew the Province, was
done today, Saturday 1st of November,
at Rustenburg Civic Centre, Bojanala
Platinum District Municipality. Premier
Supra Mahumapelo said this MoU is
a practical expression of the Bokone
Bophirima government’s firm resolve
to join forces with other stakeholders to
radically deal with challenges such as
infrastructure backlog for roads, water,
electricity and housing.
“As a means to primarily implement
the objectives of the National Development Plan, this process will contribute
greatly towards the attainment of the
Province’s set economic growth to 6%
by 2019, thus enabling us to progressively overcome the triple challenges of
unemployment, poverty and inequality.
By signing this MoU”, Premier emphasised “we are committing ourselves as
partners who share the same mission, to
assertively face the challenges before us
and ensure that the lives of the people
in Bokone Bophirima Province are
changed for the better”.DBSA Chief
Executive Officer, Patrick Dlamini
acceded that this MoU signals the two
parties intent to provide better services,
saying the institution will work tightly
with the Province to successfully achieve
this goal which is also expressed and
stressed in the National Development
Plan.
“We are excited because the infrastructure development approach we are
planning for Bokone Bophirima Province will soon be used as a model for the
country, an approach which challenges
all of us to up our game in an effort
to ensure that the citizens enjoy their
rights to access better services”, said
Mr Dlamini who applauded Premier
Mahumapelo for having taken the
Premier Mahumapelo and DBSA CEO Patrick Dlamini.
initiative to approach the DBSA for
support. Dlamini said while the infrastructure development projects for
Bokone Bophirima Province could not
be quantified at present, it is expected
that the funding which will be guided by
the Province’s needs, will be huge. The
Executive Mayor of the Rustenburg
Local Municipality Cllr Mpho Khonou
who also attended the signing ceremony,
welcomed the move as a step in the
right direction. The DBSA is a Development Finance Institution wholly owned
10
by the government of South Africa and
focuses on large infrastructure projects
within the public and private sector. Its
main objectives are the promotion of
economic development and growth, human resource development, institutional
capacity building, and the support of
development projects in South Africa,
the SADC region and other parts of
Africa.

Imbizo-Brits Police Station Management on 22/10/2014 went
to interact with the community
of Oukasie in a form of Imbizo
where a large number of people
comprised of senior citizens and
youth attended the event. The
Imbizo was held in Oukasie Community Hall.

rits Police Station Acting Station
Commander Colonel Rueben
Sekwati Tlhoaele with his Acting Vispol
Commander Lt Colonel Simon Mongatane and Oukasie Sector Manager
Lieutenant Maobane, Sonop Sector
Manager Lieutenant Ndlovu and Brits
Police Station Community Police Officer Sergeant Tshabalala were present on the day of the event. Among
the stakeholders invited on the day
there were the Department of Justice,
Madibeng Traffic, Local Government,
Social Development as well as Brits
Community Police Forum executive
Committee. The main aim of the event
was head-driven by crime related factors
which also include vigilantism which has
risen in terms of crime statistics where
numbers of people are/were killed and
brutally assaulted. Colonel Tlhoaele
outlined that Brits police are prepared
to work together with the community
in way of attempting to uproot crime in
communities around Brits but he said
that there is no justification whatsoever
in acts of mob justice by members of
communities and perpetrators of such
crimes will face the full might of the law.
A member of the community given a platform to raise her concerns
“The challenges of crime facing Oukasie are not unique to many other communities across our policing precinct, yet
in most communities we see law-abiding
citizens partnering with police in eradicating the scourge of crime.
On other factors which were part of
the engagement between the police and
community was the aspect of lack of
service delivery which was raised from
the community side that when police
are called or reported about a crime in
progress, police’s response is always late
which drives the community to end up
taking the law into their own hands.
Another concerning issue out of the
rest was that most of police members
in Brits Police Station are not willing to
assist the community which is unacceptable according to Batho-Pele Principles
which is South African Government
program that guides public servants to
render the service to the community.
“We strongly warn the perpetrators of
such disturbing incidents because mob
justice is unjustifiable. You cannot resolve crime through committing crime,
it is simply unacceptable, “What is really
worrying is the fact that the perpetrators
of such acts are often perceived as he
roes by some members of communities
when such barbaric killings take place.
Police are in hot pursuit of these socalled ‘heroes’ because there is nothing
heroic when you burn and kill people.”
Colonel Tlhoaele said. Brits Police Station Management hopes that by engaging members of the community was a
great move in sense that people on the
ground have information that must be
given to the police which will guide the
police in planning of the operations
especially during this festive season.
NEASA. For this reason NEASA members, including Megaroller, embarked
on a lock-out of striking workers “Megaroller supports NEASA in its attempts
to negotiate a fair agreement for all its
members. We would welcome an end
to the lock-out but unfortunately it will
continue until NUMSA has engaged
with NEASA,” says Sarel Koekemoer,
Acting General Manager for Megaroller. Gerhard Papendus, NEASA’s Chief
Executive reiterates this sentiment:
“The driving force behind this lock-out
is that NUMSA and the other unions
must meet with us to resolve NEASA’s
outstanding demands in order to get the
lock-out lifted. Until this has happened,
the lock-out will continue.” Koekemoer
explains that Megaroller actually offered
employees a 12% increase in pay, pending final settlement with NUMSA. The
majority of employees accepted this
and returned to work. “As an employer,
we are exposed to many threats in the
current business environment, making staying afloat in business in South
Africa today a major challenge. To
have to keep your own employees away
from work just to ensure that fair labour
demands are negotiated is unacceptable.
The unions must learn to be flexible in
their demands, otherwise there will not
be an industry to return to in the long
run. “Megaroller subscribes to the codes
of fair employment and is committed
to providing its employees with a safe,
non-discriminatory, and fulfilling work
environment. The safety and wellbeing of our employees was threatened in
mid-October when NUMSA members
stormed our Brits plant intimidating
non-striking members, disrupting operations, and causing damage to property.
This is also unacceptable. “We will not
be swayed by the threatening tactics
of a minority faction of employees,
supported by a large contingent of
NUMSA and COSATU members who
are not involved directly in the current
lock-out,” concludes Koekemoer.
At the time of print, the Madibeng
Times contacted the NUMSA Regional
Secretary Mr. Jerry Morulane but he
was unfortunately not available. His
cellphone was off and a voice mail message was left behind.
Megaroller employees are not being unreasonably stopped from
returning to work
Megaroller Industries (Pty) Ltd
(Megaroller) respond on the article published by the Madibeng
Times on year 4 issue 20 on the
30th of October 2014 on page 8
titled: ‘Workers out for work for
more than a month without any
salary.’
R
eferred, the National Union of
Metal Workers of South Africa’s
(NUMSA) claims that it had succeeded
in ending the month-long strike in the
metals and engineering sectors on the
28th of July 2014, and that some of
its workers are still being unreasonably
prevented from returning to work, as
published in the Madibeng Times on
the 30th of October 2014 are inaccurate. According to Megaroller Industries
(Pty) Ltd (Megaroller), one of the companies named in the article, the employees have been locked-out since 29 July
2014, arising from a dispute between
the National Employers Association of
South Africa (NEASA) and NUMSA
at bargaining level. NEASA, of which
Megaroller is a proud member, refused
to sign the settlement agreement that
was reached between SEIFSA and
other trade unions, including NUMSA.
NEASA is not a signatory to this agreement because the unsustainable level of
the wage increase being agreed upon
by SEIFSA and NUMSA will cause the
Industry to decline even further.
In addition, the Unions refused to address NEASA’s demands for the creation
of a new entry level wage, for newcomers, which would support job creation
and create a more flexible dispensation that would allow the Industry to
prosper. NEASA has more than 23 000
employer members across a variety of
sectors. About 3000 of these employer
members are in the metal industry, making NEASA one of the biggest employer
representative bodies on the Metal
and Engineering Bargaining Council
(MEIBC). NEASA received a mandate
from its members not to accept a wage
offer higher than 8%. As a result the
wage proposal could not be accepted by
NEASA and they needed to engage in
further negotiations with NUMSA.
To date, NUMSA has not made any
attempts to engage in negotiations with

The total amount paid to Khasu

n a reply to a DA parliamentary
question, the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(COGTA), Pravin Gordhan, revealed
that Khasu Engineering Services owned
by the Chief Director of COGTA,
Khotso Frank Khasu, to date has not
paid back overpayments made to his
firm to the tune of R46 million by the
Naledi Local Municipality in the North
West in 2008. I will request Minister
Gordhan and the North West MEC for
COGTA to urgently intervene and to
institute the necessary criminal and disciplinary action in terms of Section 32
of the Municipal Finance Management
Act. Criminal charges must be laid.
In 2010, the Special Investigating Unit
had begun its investigation into Mr
Khasu, yet nothing has come of this
and Mr Khasu basically walked away
with R46 million. Earlier this year it
emerged that Mr Khasu was appointed
Chief Director of COGTA in October
last year and that he earns “a minimum salary” of R930 000 a year. It is
sickening that someone who essentially
defrauded a municipality to the tune of
R46 million can be appointed to a highlevel position in the COGTA department. According to a technical report
by the North West Department of Human Settlements the quality of services

Kutlwano primary School celebrates their Annual LAIP / LITNUM/ Readathon Day
The school held a cycle of Literacy and Numeracy development activities to raise students’
awareness of the importance of
reading. The occasion included
competition sessions where the
students were split up into different assemblages. It was a very
busy day and the learners from
grade 1 to 7 joined in all the activities with great enthusiasm.
L
earners participated in these activities through-out the year and this
annual event seek to reward the best
learners and to instil the culture of
reading in the school. With the worse
background having few resources, it was
interesting to see how learners could
make the best with a few reading books,
some of which have been borrowed
from the local library.
The Principal, Mr. Jeremiah Sello was
very much overwhelmed as he deliberated, “I would like to thank my wonderful teachers who worked so hard to
make the day a success, and most especially for the team-spirit they displayed
throughout the year. It has not been an
easy year since challenges form part
of our daily package, but I am grateful
over these teachers for maintaining the
banner of good practise in the way that
they did.’’ “’I also would like thank the
parents for their support, I believe that
the more parents participate in schooling, in a sustained way, at every level -in advocacy, decision-making and oversight roles, as fund-raisers and boosters,
as volunteers and Para-Professionals,
and as home teachers -- the better for
learner achievement.’’

AVBOB donated a noble Library – Majakaneng Primary School
AVBOB felt amused by the fact
that out of four evaluated schools
across the area, Majakaneng
Primary School was the luckiest
school to receive a R350 000 worth
of a library full of books and
other equipments.
T
his came after the AVBOB right
wing, Touch Africa evaluated the
school to receive the library out of the
four participated schools. AVBOB,
the sponsor of the entire proceedings
as well as the library anually that gives
a certain profit to AVBOB Foundation part of the C.S.E Mutual Society.
The AVBOB Group Communication
Manager Mr. Marius du Plessis explains
how all this started. “We start investing moneys in projects such as this one.
Phase one of the project is rolling out
30 libraries to the schools of which we
had already rolled out 17 libraries thus
far. Probably at the end of next year
(2015) we will be ending with our phase
one.”
“Phase two will then commence when
we will be giving back to the community
by issuing new books in their libraries.”
said Mr. du Plessis. He also applauded
Touch Africa of their hard work and
dedications in identifying the so-in-need
of a library school. “Touch Africa’s
mandate is to evaluate and look for an
old shipping container on our behalfthat will later be converted into being a
noble library. The whole establishment
of a library costing R350 000 consists
of a lamenting floor, airconditioning
and 2,500 reading books. “AVBOB is
not benefitting out of the whole ordeal.
South African Association of Science and Technology Educators
(SAASTE) is the 6th North West
Provincial Conference and the
3rd Biennial General Meeting;
the theme for this conference is
‘Teaching Today for Tomorrow.’
T
he conference by (SAASTE) was
made possible to enhance the
quality of learning and teaching in the
Science and Technology fields. The
conference was held in the Academy
for Christian Education on the 25th of
October. The main aim was to bring
teachers from different areas of Science and Technology to brainstorm and
learn from each other the best practices
and invite other stakeholders such as
professors from universities. In the conference, the organizers don’t normally
invite learners because this is the platform whereby teachers and stakeholders
learn more from each other on how to
go about preparing their learners for
projects.
SAASTE also had prepared the elections whereby the organization dismantled the previous committee and nominate a new committee. When asked
about the fact that the country is now
approaching the end of the year and

not doing their means at schools, she
reiterated and said, “It is not a general
issue but a national issue through various stakeholders such as SAASTE who
invites all the teachers especially those
that are demoralized and not doing
their means at the schools.” Educators
were motivated through various speakers and the publishers of various books
such as Macmillan, Oxford, Shuters &
Shooter, Principal Software and Vivlia
just to name a few introduced their
new books and their advanced technological equipments. Professors and
Doctors encouraged teachers to commit themselves in teaching learners at
school. Dr. Estelle Gaigher Faculty of
Education at the University of Pretoria
in her presentation said: “Many learners worldwide experience science as a
vast body of facts that has to be learnt,
without a sense of the origin of these
facts.” While the E- Learning Marketer
at Shuters & Shooter Mr. Sibonelo
Mkhasibe introduced a new range of
technology equipment that can be used
in classes by students and educators
that works concurrently as note books
and exam papers. Dr. Jabu Nukeri of
the South African Agency for Science
& Technology Advancement told the
attendees that South Africa has the
lowest performance scores in Maths and
Science compared to other TIMMS
participants in 1999 & 2003. Recent

192 learners started school in grade 1,
but only 496 090 showed up to write
the final grade 12 examination. He
also encouraged educators not to allow
themselves to be the only one talking
in the classrooms and should make the
classrooms enjoyable by allowing learners to interact more often.
Google Apps for Education Daan Pretorious Principal Software introduced
the ways and means of using Google
Apps in the schools. He said, if anyone
wants to have a web-side must first register a domain to access the web-side.
