Amanda WatsonKew: Following the story, State of our substations, week ending 14 May, another substation in literally shocking condition has been found.
Only a few hundred metres from the Bramley View depot, the North Eastern Tribune was shown the substation in 11th Avenue by a source who preferred to remain anonymous. Later in the day City Power general manager of distribution maintenance Gerrit Teunisson and other senior offi cials were taken to the sub-station with numerous illegal connections.
He immediately arranged for a team
to secure the building and disconnect the wires.
“This is so dangerous, I can’t believe it,” said a visibly shocked Teunisson.
According to him illegal connections cost the city council up to R800 000 a year. “To secure this sub-station we will have to put a special armoured door on the building which will cost around R22 000.”
When challenged on City Power’s managing director Silas Zimu’s assertion that simple padlocks were all that were necessary to protect substations, Teunisson said access to capital was a problem for the
municipality and teams still needed to access the substations.
Teunisson took the area team leader to task on the spot, demanding to know why it was happening under his nose. The team leader replied that he was aware of it, but each time the door was fi xed and the connections removed thieves were back and reconnecting, often the same day.
Blackened and burned wires were traced to a nearby squatter camp. “We’ve been through this before. If we try to fi ne the people to whom the supply leads, they say it’s not their shack. It’s a problem,” admitted
Teunisson. Meanwhile, the Highlands North
substation (which is decommissioned) has been cleaned up along with a few others.

Ayanda ButheleziRiverpark: After spending six days in custody, the woman who was arrested for dumping her child in the veld has emerged a different person.
This was confi rmed by the accused’s sister, Maureen Raphulu.
Raphulu said her sister was no longer the arrogant person she knew.
“After the ordeal my sister is now taking responsibility in the house and for her children. She even attends church.”
Ngakoana Raphulu, 25, was arrested and charged with abandoning her fi ve-month-old baby on a freezing night in Savoy.
Ngakoana Raphulu had initially claimed seeing a woman dumping her child before confessing to the crime.
Raphulu said her sister was released on warning on condition she reported to the social worker three times a week.
“She is so remorseful and withdrawn. Often we fi nd her crying and looking at pictures of her baby. She misses her baby so much.”
Raphulu said the court granted her elderly mother custody of the child. “We are grateful because the community has not chastised my sister for her actions.”

Crime-Stoppers - SMS anonymous tip-off at 32211
The 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa™ has been one massive jol. But winter chill aside, there have been some interesting titbits off the pitch.
Rewind to the Kick-Off Celebration Concert at Orlando Stadium when a spectator hurled unprintable words at Archbishop Desmond Tutu and called for Madiba to address the crowd instead. Take for instance a group of intoxicated young men who camped in the media bus outside Soccer City complaining about the problems they had with South Africa, eventually leaving after police intervened. At Ellis Park the other night, a vendor approached the North Eastern Tribune scribes and offered to sell them earplugs.
Wrong men; we love vuvuzelas
extremely loud! Then there are people who hang around stadiums wanting used match tickets to keep as collectors items. Sorry mates, World Cup mementos are vital to everyone. All in all, the feedback from foreign journalists has been good. And they love our stadiums, although most have slammed our non-existent public transport, as expected. An American advertising executive advised the South African government to continue working towards improving public transport with projects such as Gautrain and Rea Vaya even after the World Cup has ended because ‘what we have seen on your roads is a disaster’.
Hopefully, Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele is taking notes.
This cup overflows

Swap old bulbs for new ones
Ayanda ButheleziBramley View: Squatters at the old Fruit and Vegetable market refuse to be labelled criminals.
The article, We need help, week ending 7 May highlighted claims by neighbouring residents of the old market that was being taken over by criminal elements.
Squatters spoke out on how they tried to overcome negative prejudice. Negative comments of drug-related criminal elements have overshadowed what used to be a booming business hub. But to the squatters this is the place they call home.
Ivy Thlako and her live-in partner have been residents for six years.
“There are families who have stayed here for almost 15 years. My partner does an honest
day’s work to put bread on the table, just like others do,” said Thlako.
“Living here is tough because we are all victims of verbal harassment by nearby residents.”
Aubrey Mkhabela and his friend also denied claims that the market was a criminal hub.
They blamed youngsters from Alexandra and the neighbourhood for tarnishing their image.
“Our sisters and mothers use this pathway daily. We cannot rob our people. Are they blaming us because of our living circumstances?” Mkhabela asked.
They said one of the squatter camps had a gymnasium and most youngsters gathered there to use the gym equipment
“Our living circumstances should not allow people to judge us as criminals,” said Thlako.
Squatters refer to the old organic market as home.
A place they call home
The SPCA advises residents to adopt the following guidelines to help protect their pets:
Ensure all animals have identifi cation (i.e. microchip and/or identity tag).
If possible stay at home with them and help keep them calm and put familiar and comforting things around them.
If you can’t be at home keep your pets in a safe and secure room.
Try and subdue any noise by drawing the
curtains and playing calming music.Give your pets a nutritious and balanced
meal at night – this is likely to make them more sleepy.
Give them something to chew on, a chewy bone or catnip toys for cats.
Keep pets indoors during anticipated high noise level periods such as when vuvuzelas may be used.
Contact 011-444-7730/1/2.
Vuvu protection: Advice for animal owners
Blowing vuvuzelas near animals petrifies them.
Four suspects have been arrested and charged with attempted murder of a man in Klip Street.
After receiving a tip-off, the police went to the scene and discovered that a man had been shot. The victim sustained two gunshots and was rushed to hospital.
A .38 revolver was found on the scene. The suspects will appear in court soon.
Meanwhile, police are also on the heels of the suspect who fl ed the scene after stabbing a man to death at Mount View. The deceased had stab wounds on his neck and chest.

Yeoville crime briefs: search for suspect
Ayanda ButheleziVuvuzelas were cheerfully blown to welcome the festivities around the 2010 Fifa World Cup ™, but pet owners dreaded the effect they had on their pets.
Dr Claire Considine of Sandringham veterinary centre reported having treated several pets petrifi ed by the loud blowing of vuvuzelas.
“We have had complaints from pet owners whose pets hid under beds and behind couches. For such cases, we prescribed sedatives to help them cope. There are also effective homeopathic remedies available that may be bought across the counter at most surgeries to help keep your pet calm,” said Considine.
Pet owner, Pam Blumenthal said she was
mostly concerned about damage to her pets’ ears. “I’m afraid animals may lose their hearing from the noise,” she said.
Sandton SPCA spokesman, Candice Segal said, “It is well known that dogs and cats have hearing that is superior to that of humans. A dog’s hearing ranges from as low as 16 Hz to as high as 100 000 Hz. We appeals to vuvuzela users to be aware and sensitive to pets’ health and safety. Do not blow a vuvuzela in close range of your pet and if your dogs or cats are frightened by the sound, make sure they are kept in a secure and safe environment during matches or times of celebration.
“We support the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ as well as responsible pet care.”

Amy Pattison-EmmsThe Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Gauteng legislature has questioned the success of the proposed infrastructure development plan and asked whether the ANC’s goals were realistic.
This was in reaction to the MEC of Infrastructure Development, Faith Mazibuko’s 2010/2011 budget speech. Patricia Mokgohlwa, the DA deputy spokesman for infrastructure, said, “Successful and prosperous property-owning democracies are not built on policies politically correct. They must also be economically rational.”
The programme involved a number of plans to expand and improve infrastructure, and develop the industry and skills of the youth.
The anticipated rewards and costs of this programme have seemingly been underestimated. The plan of action has not been scrutinised suffi ciently. Problems regarding its planning, and previous downfalls and lack of resources were discussed.
The DA believed benefi ts of an expanded infrastructure would be defeated years from now as the budget for maintenance was too
low. “We should ensure that corrupt
public servants are held criminally liable, and not given golden handshakes.”
Mokgohlwa said that for the programme to succeed matters regarding the building implementation needed greater focus. She pointed out that preceding research should take place before contractors were assigned to projects.
“Contractors previously employed demonstrated incompetence resulting in delayed completion and marked up prices after the deadline. The fault also lies with provincial government as contractual agreements are often abandoned and funds re-allocated.”
The DA suggested that instead of creating temporary job opportunities, sustainable systems of apprenticeship should be implemented. A similar system in East Germany had proved to be highly benefi cial.
According to Thomas Walters, DA member of the provincial legislature, a great concern was that the government acted as life support instead of promoting sustainable growth.
Infrastructure budget speech slammed
Sicelo Mabaso and Amos Masondo during the announcement of the BRT handover at city council headquarters.
Nie CeleEmployees of the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) downed tools and left fans stranded after a 2010 Fifa World Cup™ match at Soccer City.
The strike happened barely a week after control of the BRT was handed over to Clidet 957, established by former taxi bosses who surrendered 585 taxis to city council in exchange for shares in the company.
Tahir Sema, South African Municipality Workers Union (Samwu) spokesman, said bus drivers and staff downed tools because they were angered by adjusted shifts aimed at accommodating
fans at World Cup matches in Johannesburg.
“The employer took a unilateral decision without consulting the unions and employees. This resulted in a surprise strike organised by the employees after they were angered by the decision.
“However we have since deployed representatives to the negotiation table to iron out the issue amicably.’’
Mayor Amos Masondo had hailed the handover of phase 1A that operated between Soweto and the city centre as an historic milestone.
He said BRT was 100 percent owned by Clidet 957 and praised stakeholders involved in the lengthy
negotiations.“Without your commitment
this transformation in public transport would have been impossible,’’ Masondo said.
But this reporter has reliably learnt of another dispute involving the union and the company that is waiting to be heard in the labour court. This was sparked by a complaint by Clidet 957, which is a member of the South African Road Passenger Bargaining Council.
Clidet 957 is questioning Samwu’s right to represent the BRT employees even though they are no longer in the employ of the municipality.

Editors noteweek ending 18 June
Are fl ags that offensive? Of course not, and I think the public in general doesn’t mind roadside sellers as long as they’re not in your face when you decline. Most of them are very pleasant and always smiling. I’ve even been offered to take the merchandise and pay ‘tomorrow’. If nothing else, it’s a tiring job out in the elements - think of the coming weather - and
it puts food on the table. I was never for this but have grown to accept it gladly. Viva Bafana.
No, police should not confi scate hawkers or target people trying to put bread on their table. Why all of a sudden now when it’s the World Cup. Ridiculous.
Have police no compassion for the unemployed who stand in the freezing cold selling fl ags to put bread on the table?
House of pain overweek ending 11 June
What punishment? She will just shrug her shoulders and laugh at her conviction. How can she even be allowed to keep any animals? Just
look at the picture of that adorable cat that was removed from the home, some 17 months ago. Why can’t she be made to at least clean kennels at the SPCA supervised?
I do not think the punishment was fair due to the fact there are two sides to a story. The other side was not heard. I, as a neighbour, found no fault with her.

You said it!
“Show me substandard substations,” said City Power managing director Silas Zimu.
Done. Giving credit where credit is due, City Power has attempted a clean-up at some of them.
But slack-jawed doesn’t even begin to describe the faces of the utility’s managers at the Kew substation and it would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.
For far too long government has dragged its heels in getting basic services to people and now the destitute are turned into criminals by predators.
Don’t kid yourself; the thugs who hook people up to the power network extort a healthy lump of money to do so. And if I was in the same situation, I’d probably be in front of the line for illegal electricity.
Of course, illegal connections take away from any programme that might be trying to set up legal connections in squatter camps and I doubt anyone has a problem with subsidising running water and electricity.
The quicker the problem is solved, the less reason people will have to steal. In all honesty, the mayor needs
to rein in his over-enthusiastic budget and look at real problem-solving.
Pretty trains don’t keep people warm.
Pretty stadiums can’t be eaten and new City Park trees provide a carbon footprint offset, but coal-fi red heaters in shacks soon make that pointless.
Those same heaters are responsible for deaths due to carbon dioxide poisoning and cause immeasurable misery when shack fi res happen.
City fathers should visit a family that’s been wiped out by CO2 poisoning. Perhaps then some action will be taken.
Roosting chickens
Can we turn the energy around the current euphoria into taking ownership of our suburban issues?
Join a ward committee, community policing forum or residents association. If nothing else, the World Cup has shown how banding together is as natural as honey, and as sweet. We can’t play soccer every day. Who knows when we’ll get a chance to bond at this level again?
Use it, or lose it.

Judy Bees writes from Lombardy East;As someone who was born overseas but, as an adult, has lived here since 1973, I can only tell you a foreign tourist loves the street traders.
We must be careful not to over-regulate South Africa.
These traders are not ‘doing crime’ and they’re part of the charm of Africa with their entrepeuneurial spirit and bouncy personalities.
Let Africa be Africa.

Published by Macmillan.What a delightful surprise – an interestingly
written, easy to read early ‘history’ of the fi ctional super detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Lane expounds how he was orphaned at a young age, educated at a disliked boarding school, had occasional guidance from a much older brother, spent a period with a pompous uncle, endured a hateful housekeeper and enjoyed a variety of friendships, et al. When he was 14-years-old, he came across a dead body.
This was the the beginning of his career as one of the most well-known fi ctional investigators in the history of legendary crime investigation.

Lyndhurst: To mark the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Traffi cking on 26 June, Wedge Gardens treatment centre for substance abuse has compiled questions to help decide if you need to implement tough love.
Have you found yourself covering up for your loved one’s drinking or drug use?
Have you bailed them out of jail on charges of burglary, possession of drugs, selling drugs, domestic violence or violence against others while drunk or high?
Have you had a loved one steal from you, but you refuse to fi le charges to ensure they stay out of trouble?
Do you give them money regularly but they cannot explain where it goes?
Have you lied in order to prevent your loved one from losing his/her job?
Have you cleaned up after they have been drinking or using drugs?
“If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions you may be enabling their behaviour,” said Wedge therapist Debbie Carson.
“Enabling behaviour is born out of our instinct to love. It’s only natural to want to help someone we love, but helping them may actually be killing them,” she added. “To break the cycle, enablers must allow addicts to feel the consequences of their own behaviour.
At fi rst, it may be frightening and bring forth feelings of sadness, but as you begin your own recovery, you will start experiencing feelings of pride and strength,” explained Carson.
Wedge Gardens is run by non-profi t organisation Rand Aid. Contact 011-430-0320.

Orange Grove: Feed a Family is an organisation that provides underprivileged families in squatter camps a loaf of bread and a litre of milk.
Many families in squatter camps are unemployed, which leads to hungry children, undernourished pregnant mothers and young new mothers.
“They wait for our visits so that they can nourish their bodies.
“It actually hurts us when all our bread and milk is handed out because there are still thousands of unfed people who look at us with disappointment, because it means another
hungry day,” said the organisation’s Malcolm Poovan.
Feed a Family aims to alleviate the poverty, crime and HIV in society and feels it can reach more people when their stomachs are full rather than empty. “Let’s get South Africans to rally around feeding underprivileged people and be a blessing to those less fortunate. It costs just R13 per day to feed a family. It’s not a lot of money.
“However, the impact your R13 can have on the South African population is priceless,” Poovan added.

Nearly 10 000 food packets were distributed in a mammoth feeding scheme.
The B’nei B’rith charity welcomed the 2010 Johannesburg Mini Council to assist and on 5 June the fi rst team of councillors arrived to start their shift. Armed with youth and determination they were shown the ropes and the hard work began.
Two shifts of councillors led by Mayor Maxine Gussenhoven sorted, poured, packed, sealed and stacked 9 750 packets in fi ve hours for delivery to the hungry in and around Johannesburg. Each packet of dried food
can be cooked with a litre of water and feeds four children or two adults. The ingredients were carefully selected to provide maximum nutrition.
Aileen Benn from the All Nations Ministry runs a charity in Alexander and assisted. “The work ethic among the children was fantastic.
“The fun and laughter was contagious in the packing room but they never strayed from the important task at hand. As I watched them I thought if this is the calibre of youth in South Africa, our future leaders are going to be incredible,” said Benn.

Sipho SisoBerea: Two pupils and a staff member from the Johannesburg Girls’ preparatory school have excelled in various fi elds this month.
School teacher l of the Rand Athletic Club, missed a medal at the 2010 Comrades Marathon by the skin of her teeth.
O’Farrell, running her fi rst Comrades, described the race as, “Tough and I respect everyone who has done it but it is good fun.” Just as she turned the corner towards the fi nishing line, O’Farrell said the cut-
off gun went off and she clocked a time of 12 hours, one minute and three seconds.
“I gave the best I had and could give no more. I collapsed exhausted at the fi nish line and was treated by paramedics. I could not move or walk on Sunday after the event but began to hobble on Monday though the knees were still stiff.” O’ Farrell said she was ready to join the race again next year.
Meanwhile, Makhosi Mdluli (12), a Grade 7 pupil at the school who lives in Observatory, participated
in an art exhibition marking Child Protection Week and had her artwork displayed at Constitutional Hill. Nonhlanhla Maboe (12), a Grade 6 pupil from Dube Village in Soweto, has been chosen to represent Johannesburg East District of the Gauteng Department of Education in various soccer matches.
“Congratulations to all of you for making Johannesburg Girls proud, including a colleague in our own ranks who ran full steam in the Comrades,” said school principal Sandra Levitas.

Students interested in attending the Tech4Africa Conference 2010 can now obtain scholarship tickets to the event.
Old Mutual is offering 17 complimentary tickets for students in the information technology, Web and digital fi elds to attend the conference on 12 to 13 August at the Bryanston Forum. This is preceded by workshops on 10 to 11 August.
Organised by Technovated, the event is for those interested in the progress of technology in Africa.
Students will gain practical information into the funding landscape in Africa; what cloud computing, Web 2.0, the mobile Internet and other emerging technologies mean to societies; how the Web can help African societies to succeed and how start-ups can be built to compete on the global stage.
Gareth Knight, managing director of Technovated, said, “Students will learn from the best in the world, network with big industry players, hear about new technologies and fi nd out what Africans are doing with the Web, mobile and other emerging technologies in real world settings.”
Students interested in attending the event can apply for sponsored tickets by e-mail, sending a 200-word motivation on why they should be awarded one of these tickets.

ALL FOR BAFANA: Rosabelle Klein (Waverley) nursery school holds a special puppet show about the World Cup. As well as learning about different countries participating in the World Cup, the girls practise cheering to support Bafana Bafana.
BLOW IT HARDER: Grade 5 girls from Torah Academy primary school learn how to blow vuvuzelas in the spirit of the World Cup.
Anti-waste is always appreciated and put to good use at Yiddish Folk.
A large box was donated to the school by Jonathan Borowitz when he received a new bike. Sheva Messias, principal of Yiddish Folk, said, “Our very creative teachers, Tracey Mayef, Romy Adler and Carla Drieband involved the children in a project to
convert it into a soccer fi eld. “Goals were made out of
cardboard and lace and each child made their own soccer player on a bottle top stand.
“Children coloured in the logos and learned to recognise them. They were pasted around the fi eld with spectator seating.”
Fun with waste

Good day TOP TVI need to express my sincere gratitude for a service that is truly second to none.I have just installed my TOP TV package and the service that I re-ceived from TOP TV in particular Melinda Connor was really excellent.Throughout the whole process from sourcing the installer to offering guid-ance throughout the installation process,I was never for one moment un-certain about anything or not sure when my installation will take place.Both Nicole and Melinda were constantly in contact with me and I was always re-assured that the installation will be done on a certain day and at a certain time,and that’s exactly how it happened.That’s really good service from this service provider and upon completion of the installation I was given a friendly courtesy call to make sure that I was happy and that I understood how the system works.Its great to have an alternative service provider, and I wish TOP TV the very best for the future and I am sure that they will do well because if this kind of service is any indication to go by,then I think that only the sky is the limit for this service provider. Very well done TOP TV and I wish that you
will get millions of subscribers!

Hyun Kyung Cho joined The South African Ballet Theatre (SABT) in July 2008.
As a member of the senior corps de ballet for the season of FNB’s Giselle at the Joburg Theatre, he made his debut in South Africa as Hilarion.
In December 2009 he appeared in Janice Honeyman’s Pinocchio.
In relatively short order, he has established himself as one of the top dancers at SABT and in May was promoted to senior soloist.
The Korean-born Cho trained at the Metro Ballet Studio and in 1996 and majored in ballet at the Korea National University of Arts.
He then joined the Korea National Ballet Company as a guest artist performing roles in
Giselle (Peasant pas de deux), Don Quixote, The Nutcracker (Chinese) and Dimension, a work by Todd Eric Allen.
In 1999 he joined the Universal Ballet Company in South Korea performing in, among others, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, La Bayadére and Carnival of the Animals.
Cho joined the NBA Ballet Company in Japan in 2006 as a soloist followed by joining the Ballet de Camara de Morelos (Mexico) in 2008, also as a soloist.
In 2008 he performed the lead role of Colas in the Tenbr Ballet Company’s (Korea) production of La Fille Mal Gardee.

World Cup chart update
PROUD: The Gauteng Horse Society (GHS) Showing Team took top honours as the first of the team results emerged after the Team Showing class at Kyalami Equestrian Park. On the team were Marisa Cetinich, Laurence Mowatt, Alexandra Claasen, Georgina Cross and Danielle Nortje with Chelsey Gertenbach as reserve. The team is flanked by judge Brian Noach, chef d’equipe Lynda Kirchmann and GHS chairman Panayioti Stais.
Nie CeleCaxton Cobras ended their run in the Supersport Corporate Soccer League on a high note by thumping a stubborn Transnet outfi t 3-0 at Sandown high school.
This was Cobras last game before the knockout stages.
Cobras started the game on fi re but failed to convert easy chances. Coach Abed Ahmed missed two clear-cut scoring opportunities and shot wide on both occasions. Cobras utility player Wesley Tiel failed to capitalise on a brilliant defence-splitting pass with only the goalkeeper to beat.
As the game progressed Tiel tried hard in vain for a goal but was denied by the poles or shot wide. The opposition was often made to chase shadows by Cobras strikers Tiel and Ishaq Ismail and the team showed little intention of scoring as they played individual soccer characterised by dribbling and poor
fi nishing up front. Half time score was 0-0.In the second half Cobras dominated the
game as per instruction of the coach, who was on the touchline after being substituted by assistant coach and kit manager, Sandile waka-Zamisa. His instruction to dribble and shoot from a distance paid dividends as Transnet seemed in all sorts of trouble as Cobras took control. A beautiful cross by Ismail was headed into the net by Warren Dollie to give Cobras a 1-0 lead. That opened the fl oodgates as Cobras took the game from their opponents. A slick interchange of passes by Cobras in the middle resulted in the ball landing at the feet of nimble super-substitute Peter Ramothwala who unleashed a sledgehammer that gave Cobras a 2-0 lead.
Four minutes later Tsepo Vilakazi dribbled past three Transnet players and sent a cracker into the net that gave Cobras a 3-0 fi nish.
