“I survived because the fire inside of me burned brighter than the fire around me.” (J Graham)I have watched the movie The Wild many, many times over the past week. My son has become besotted with lions and roaring - and despite my many attempts to get him to watch something else, any-thing else, he insists on “the lion one” every time a DVD is put on. In the movie, the lion cub Ryan cannot roar. When he does try, his roar makes his spectators at the zoo, where he lives, laugh. Even the little babies in prams laugh at his attempts. Only when he is placed under pressure, is the roar squeezed from him. His dad is in a bad situation and the cub leaps up to protect him. When he opens his mouth in vehement protest against the evil

coming against his dad, the squeak is gone. Instead, out comes a hearty, guttural roar so convincing the enemy who has come against his father shrinks back in fear. These past few weeks we as a country have been under this kind of pressure but despite the threat of violence, we’ve shown that we can pull this Rainbow Nation thing off after all. Maybe we gave little Rainbow Nation squeaks in the past, but I think over the past week, we have really roared. (See pages 1 and 6). “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a stand-ard against him.” (Isaiah 59 vs 19).

A man was arrested and charged with theft for stealing R2 265 worth of perfume from a lady’s clothing store at a Bedfordview shopping centre on 16 April, at around 3.55pm.Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesman, said the man was among staff hired by the store to fi x the ceiling.When the workers knocked off, a security

offi cer on duty found the perfume in his belongings.

Lieutenant Colonel Ausker Pratt, head of visible policing at the Bedfordview Police Station, leaves the police force at the end of March, after serving faithfully for the past 41 years. He joined the force in Mpumalanga on 3 January 1974. Lieut Col Pratt told the tame TIMES he became a policeman because of the “mystery” s u r r o u n d i n g police work. “I chose the p r o f e s s i o n because of the adventure involved,” he said, “and the knowledge I would be serving the community.”Among the highlights of his career were being station commander for Edenvale and Boksburg North police stations and being promoted to offi cer in 1987. “In those days, it was a big honour to become an offi cer.

It was tough to get the ranking as there were strict criteria.”He said the police force had taught him to look after himself and to practise self-discipline: “Police

must have a healthy lifestyle as the profession is very active.” He said

when he fi rst joined the force, fi tness and sport were a big part of policing culture. “I did all

kinds of sports at the time and I fi tted right in,” he said. “I have learned a lot from Lieut Col Pratt,” said Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesman. “Even when I have had personal problems, I have looked

to him as a father fi gure and asked for his advice. He is someone who is objective and as a go-getter and a leader, is hard to keep up with. I wish we could have worked together for longer and wish him all the best in his retirement.” Lieut Col Pratt said he would be focusing on his sports, travel and family life following his retirement.

Stage Four of Eskom shedding means freedom from electricity dependence

for the individual; but, should South Africa experience a total blackout, everyone will be affected. We can expect at least two weeks without power, which will probably mean at least 10 days without water, ATMs, petrol or cellphone reception. Shops will also run out of food. [http://www.fin24.com/Economy/SA-not-prepared-for-total-blackout-Eskom-20140814]So, to be prepared, keep a stock of: a). water for drinking, washing, laundry, flushing toilets b). water filter system c). enough cash d). non-perishable food: canned fish, baked beans, long-life milk, foil-wrapped cheese wedges, crackers, tea, coffee, sugar, rice, samp, dried beans, potatoes, dried fruit, long-life fruit juice, citrus fruit, salt e). matches, candles, fire-wood, gas-bottles, hot-water bottles f). soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, board-games/handwork to pass the time

DECLARE ESKOM SHEDDINGEMpOwER yOuRSELfOpINION pIECE By pALESA yATES

It is time to take back your power from Eskom. If you are frustrated by the constant need to re-schedule work, family or household chores around stage one, two or three of Eskom’s load shedding, this is a sign that the power giant is running your life.Now is the time to make some lifestyle changes to curb your electricity addiction.

Stage One involves making small changes so you can handle load shedding in style:

a). Whenever you boil water for coffee or tea the old-fashioned way - with an electric kettle - make an extra cup for a vacuum flask. (cost of flask: R100)b). Whenever you have power, charge your cellphone, laptop and re-chargeable lights. (cost of re-chargeable lights: R200 to R400)c). Wash, iron and cook in advance – when you can.d). Buy a gas heater and extra gas. This will drastically reduce your electricity bill and provide enough light to read by during power outages. (cost of heater: R1,000 to R1,200)e). Invest in a gas-braai. One of these provides the best frying experience anyway, and can also be used for boiling water – or cooking rice, stew or ‘potbrood.’ (cost of gas-braai: about R700)f). Keep a stock of DVDs to watch on your laptop.

Stage Two is about replacing old appliances with new Eskom-friendly ones:

a). Replace old stoves and heaters with new gas ones. Although gas is not as safe a source of energy as electricity, gas cookers have the advantage of providing instant heat - you do not have to wait for the plates or oven to reach the required temperature. (cost of heater: R1,000 to R1,200; cost of gas stove: about R10,000)b). Replace your old fridge and freezer with paraffin ones. (cost: about R5000 each)

c). Install a solar geyser. (cost: R6,000 to R12,000) d). Do laundry daily, or every second day, with a portable washer. A small manual washing machine will not only use no electricity, but will also require much less water and soap. It can make the task of handwashing much easier, also. (cost: about R500)

Stage Three Eskom shedding

involves serious lifestyle changes and investment, as well as some innovative solutions:a). Houses need to be designed for indoor braaiing with skylights. b). Hairdressers will have to come to the party with natural styles that do not require electric straighteners or blow-dryers. Perhaps we need curlers we can wear with dignity in the traffic, and hair-drying functions in our cars. c). Fashion designers must get with the programme too, and design Eskom-friendly garments. A combination of stretch fabrics and wrinkled styles would work. Ripped jeans have been a fashion must-have for years now – it is time that a

wrinkled, never-seen-an-iron look for men’s office shirts took over our boardrooms. d). We must put solar panels on car roofs. e). The petrol we put in our cars must

do double duty. With an extra car battery, you can charge

battery A while driving, and then swap it with

battery B. When you arrive home, you can then use A (connected to an inverter) to watch television. f). Inventors could produce a l l - p u r p o s e

b a t t e r i e s to charge in

cars and use later to empower

c e l l p h o n e s , laptops and torches.

g). For the health-conscious, stationary

bicycles that re-charge cellphones and laptops could

reinforce an exercise routine – not being able to check WhatsApp, Facebook and email could motivate even the most lethargic of gym bunnies.

h). For centuries horses were used to transport people and

goods. Why not enlist the help of some not-so-popular animals? Simple tasks like turning a ceiling fan could be performed by rats chasing a favourite snack, like peanut butter and oats, on specially constructed ‘hamster-wheels.’

i). Small businesses that cannot afford to buy generators could run their computer servers on the pedal power of staff. Computer workers could simply power the system with their feet while busy at their screens. After all, working on a PC requires only eyes and fingers. In days gone by, women operated spinning-wheels with treadles; not so long ago, sewing-machines worked the same way.

Taking selfies is not a recognised disorder, but if it were, experts believe it should be called “selfitis.”Different people have different motivations for taking selfies, and most picture-taking of this nature is harmless and done for the purpose of sharing images and experiences with others. It only becomes a disorder when an obsessive-compulsive desire to take photographs of oneself intrudes on normal daily life. Another reason for concern arises when pictures are posted on social media as a way to make up for a lack of self-esteem or

to fill personal intimacy gaps. Selfie-taking becomes a concern when it stops being something that is done out of fun, and starts becoming something that is a reflection of more serious issues in a person’s life.The taking of selfies can also aggravate society’s obsession with “the perfect face” and “the perfect body.” Many believe that the younger generation are becoming increasingly self-absorbed, superficial and even narcissistic as a result.There is no harm in selfie-taking, however, as long as it does not rule your life and your motives are pure.[psychcentral.com]

Residents and local authorities have raised concerns over the condition of taxi ranks in the Ekurhuleni area.Ward 19 councillor Bill Rundle, shadow MMC for Roads and Transport in Ekurhuleni, showed concern over the Ekurhuleni Metro’s promises to upgrade and refurbish old taxi ranks, and their promises to build new ones. “There may be many initiatives on the drawing board and currently a few new taxi ranks are being established, yet the pace of service delivery is far too slow to make any impact,” he said. “The existing taxi ranks are not very clean and poorly maintained,” said Councillor Rundle. “These ranks are also illegally being extended in terms of the size and area they occupy and very few approvals exist for doing so. Encroaching has become a serious problem, as is the case with the Edenvale, Van Riebeeck Ave taxi rank. He said to his knowledge, there were 45 taxi ranks on record with the Metro and apparently nine service contractors had been contracted to clean these facilities.Speaking on behalf of the Ekurhuleni Metro, spokesperson Themba Gadebe said the refurbishment and upgrading of the Metro’s public transport facilities was done

by the Transport Planning and Provision Department, together with the Metro’s Real Estates Department. “An upgrade of the taxi rank in Van Riebeeck Avenue was carried out in the year 2012,” he said. “Plumbing maintenance is also done for all public transport facilities in Ekurhuleni, including the area of concern raised.”He said the Metro’s Roads and Transport Department acknowledged that there was still work to be done in uplifting the standards of public transport facilities throughout Ekurhuleni. “The department also initiated a structured approach bid to appoint consultants to conduct condition assessments of the facilities and design the most suitable solutions. The bid was closed in 2015 and is currently under evaluation.”He said as far as the construction of new taxi ranks was concerned, the Roads and Transport department delivered on average two newly constructed facilities in the Ekurhuleni region every financial year. He said there were in fact 72 formal public transport facilities in the area and the Metro had appointed 11 contractors to clean these facilities.

In their efforts to rid the area of drugs, Edenvale and Bedfordview police have made numerous arrests for drug dealership over recent weeks. In one of these incidents, on Thursday afternoon last week, Edenvale police’s crime prevention officer Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts chased a suspect on foot, through The Avenues, Edenvale, before bringing him to book.This recent bust in Edenvale brings the total of drugs recovered by the Edenvale police over the past week to a value of R10 000. On Tuesday, 14 April four suspects were arrested in the Edenvale CBD for possession of dagga, CAT and cocaine, amounting to the value of R8 000. On Thursday afternoon, one suspect was arrested and drugs to the value of R2 000 recovered, including CAT, cocaine and crystal meth.

Lieutenant Colonel Roberts said that

police were warranted to search for drugs on

grounds of reasonable suspicion and said that through

experience, officers developed a ‘sixth sense’ regarding criminal behaviour.Bedfordview police spokesman Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi said police had made numerous arrests for dagga possession in recent weeks. He said three men were arrested for dagga in a crime sweep of the Elandsfontein area on Monday morning last week. While the value of the dagga recovered is not an exorbitant amount, Sergeant Nhlabathi has warned the public against using dagga, explaining this was a gateway drug, leading to harder drugs.

The body of a man, allegedly from the Jordan region and of around 39 years of age, was found in Bedfordview, at the corner of Concorde and Arbroath roads on Wednesday last week, at around 8pm.According to Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi,

Bedfordview police spokesperson, the man was shot and killed by a firearm in the head. Spent cartridges and a firearm and vehicle were also found on the scene.“We are investigating the crime,” said Sergeant Nhlabathi.

Edenvale police have expressed concerns over car thefts in the area, with the station’s crime prevention offi cer Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts having said car thefts spiked over the weekend, specifi cally on Saturday. He said most of these thefts had occurred in the Edenvale CBD area.

“People park their cars often without thought when they go to parties or to restaurants or visit friends. Basic security principles should be put in place,” he said. “Park your car in a secured environment, don’t leave valuables in sight and use a steering wheel or grid lock where possible.”

The Lusito Land Festival, held annually for the past 34 years at Wemmer Pan in the south of Johannesburg, has added some South African music legends to the line-up on the public holiday on Friday, 1 May 2015. Ballyhoo, The Bats and The Essence of Clout will take to the stage to play some of their familiar chart-toppers to audiences, creating some nostalgia for this year’s festival-goers. One of the highlights of the day is the Essence of Clout, where, for the fi rst time in over a decade, two of the original members of the international chart-topping multi-million album selling girl-band Clout join forces on stage for a full show. Cindy Alter (lead vocals) and Glenda Sixel (keyboards and backing vocals) will play some of the Clout classics including Substitute and Save Me as well

as a handful of covers from the years that the band took the world by storm and put South African music on the global map. All

proceeds from the Portuguese-themed festival go towards the Lusito School

for the Physically and Mentally Handicapped. The festival begins on Friday 24 April 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket at a cost of R80 for adults and teens; and R50 for children (six to 12 years old) and pensioners. Children

The Edenvale police recently arrested four men after they tried to sell stolen goods at a second-hand dealership in Edenvale.Edenvale police’s crime prevention offi cer, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts, said the owner of the store was suspicious of the men and contacted the police. He said on investigation, it was discovered the goods were stolen during a recent business break-in

in the area.“The men didn’t waste time trying to get cash for the stolen goods, however they didn’t expect the store owner would question their integrity,” said Lieutenant Colonel Roberts. “Often criminals do try sell stolen goods shortly after they have been taken, however, each case is different and depends on how urgently money is needed.”

Four suspects arrested



Councillor Humphreys explained the poignant moment: “The children were just too dear! They were so good - all under five years of age, I’m sure, but they sat, good as gold, for about one-and-a-half hours.”Churches, schools, community groups, businesses, friends and family banded together against the violence, bringing collections - at times, by the bakkie-load - to the refugees who were being housed in a makeshift camp in Primrose.Councillor Humphreys said in one instance, they delivered seven bakkie-loads in one morning.Bedfordview police spokesperson Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi and Edenvale Police’s crime prevention officer Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts said that while these areas

had been quiet following the attacks, the officers were on 24-hour standby. “Don’t doubt that your contributions have made a difference,” reads a message on the I Love Edenvale page. “Those volunteers who are working tirelessly round the clock doing all the things that we never think about, thank you. Last night I filled my car (with collections) again! This community overwhelms me.”It doesn’t matter what colour, or creed or nationality child will receive the Pooh bear in question – what is guaranteed is that a smile will come to the child’s face when the toy is given to him or her. Inside we are all the same.

I N N O C E N T: Children gather in protest against xenophobia.INSET: GENEROUS: A Pooh bear placed among items in a collection package shows the lengths the community will go to support those affected by the recent attacks of xenophobia.

Holy Rosary School’s Grade 11 learners have shown concern over the recent

xenophobic attacks in Primrose.“We have received some feedback from our Grade 11 students who are part of our

Saturday School Outreach Programme – Phumelela,” said the school’s

marketing assistant Deidre Alcock. “These students reside in Primrose in Dikatole Informal Settlement.”She said many of the foreigners were friends of the children from the school. “One learner in particular told me he had a best friend who

has had to run away and he is deeply saddened that he may never

see him again.”“Many of the foreign nationals were forced to close their shops and flee for their lives,” Alcock continued. “This has not only been very distressing to those around, but has

had practical issues too. The Grade 11s say it is mainly the foreigners who own the spaza shops in the informal settlement, and it is most convenient and cheaper for them to go and buy from these shops.” “For example, here they can buy one or two eggs and can walk to the spazas easily. However with the spazas being closed, they will have to walk a long way (or take a taxi if they can find the money). Also the foreigners owning the spaza shops give them a little bit of credit to help them when they are really desperate.”


Following the recent spate of xenophobic attacks that befell the country, the speaker of Ekurhuleni, Clr Patricia Kumalo, hosted the Anti-Xenophobia Dialogue at the Germiston Civic Centre. The dialogue created a platform for fellow Africans to engage on the source of the xenophobic violence and also to examine the impact that the attacks and threats have on the country’s economy and image. During his keynote address, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Mzwandile Masina encouraged South Africans to make a pledge to become active citizens who will say “not in my name will the blood of fellow

Africans be shed” during these attacks. “We all have a role to play to ensure a peaceful co-existence in communities in South Africa.““Business, labour and civil society is encouraged to educate South Africans on the need for peaceful coexistence with all who live in our communities,” said Masina.“Violence has never resolved problems but dialogue does,” he added. “We need to understand the cause of these attacks for us to find lasting solutions that will aid in preventing xenophobic attacks and ensure Africans live amongst other Africans in harmony.”

As a sign of commitment to curb prejudice against foreign nationals, the Ekurhuleni Metro - in partnership with Vodacom - has established a dedicated hotline to report xenophobia-related violence.The hotline began operating on Tuesday last week and is a temporary channel which will be discontinued when the threats are over.This service is free, accessible and the municipality guarantees callers

anonymity. Residents can dial *134*422# to access the services using any phone (it is not limited to smart-phone or 3G connectivity).

The caller will need to provide their details such as the area where

there is a threat and a short description of the incident. All reported incidents will be

routed by the City’s Customer Relations Management Correspondence Centre to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD).

Chris James, owner of the new Erawan Thai Restaurant and Bar at the Village View Centre in Bedfordview, fell in love with Thai cuisine while living in Thailand for work. “Not only is Thai my favourite food, it is also very healthy compared to other Asian offerings,” James told the tame TIMES. “The food offers a wide variety of options and detail and balance are considered.”In sourcing the best of Thai flavours, James said he had been to Thailand about “80 odd times. I am normally there about four times a year looking for staff and doing some Thai food-tasting,” he said. He said he wanted guests’ experiences to be authentically Thai. He said when first dreaming up Erawan, he had decided to get on a plane

to Bangkok and source his own chefs. Our first store was in Hout Bay which was an instant success and the rest was history...”He said for Thai travellers, he would recommend the Khao Soi at the You and Me noodle bar in the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel or Madam Kroc’s off Soi Lang Suan for a more street-food experience.Erawan Thai Restaurant and Bar’s head chef Pachanuwat Nuthong’s signature dishes include Tom Yum Goong and Pad Thai, and while Thai food is traditionally quite hot, all dishes can be ordered at a level of spiciness to suit individual palates. James recommends trying the Tom Yung Goong (spicy prawn soup) for a starter and the Ba Mi Prik Pao Guy (his personal favourites).

you will need:• 8 fresh figs, sliced into eighths lengthways• 4 nectarines, julienne• 2 Tbsp lime juice• 5 ml fresh ginger, finely grated• 4 tsp fresh mint, finely chopped•1 Thai chilli, seeded and chopped (optional)• 1 lime, sliced Fig-and-balsamic syrup

method:1. Place the figs on the outer sides of four large plates.2. Combine the nectarines, lime juice, ginger, mint and chilli in a bowl.3. Place the nectarine mixture in the centre of each plate.4. Garnish with the sliced lime and drizzle with the fig-and-balsamic syrup.

ENTREPRENEUR: Chris James, owner of the new Erawan Thai Restaurant and Bar at the Village View Centre, flanked by staff from the restaurant.

Thai-style fresh rolls are fun to make and so scrumptious! They are often called ‘fresh spring rolls’ or ‘fresh summer rolls’ - in other words, they are excellent served in the spring or summer, when fresh lettuces and herbs are available. “They are usually served as an appetiser, but I like to make them into the main course,” said Chris James, owner of the new Erawan Thai Restaurant and Bar at the Village View Centre in Bedfordview. Lots of different fillings can be used for these. James suggests using a simple combination of rice noodles, lettuce, shrimp, nuts and fresh basil in your spring rolls. “This dish really is fun to make - get your whole family involved in rolling them, or get your guests to pitch in. Another alternative is to have everyone roll their own right at the table. Just set all the ingredients out and have a big bowl of boiling water in the centre for softening the rice rolls, and you have a fresh roll party which everyone enjoys.”

FASHION AND BEAUTY

Keep make-up to a minimal. Natural is beautiful.

Ensure that you keep your skin hydrated to avoid the creases being filled with make-up.

In the summer months, use a tinted moisturiser rather than a thick foundation.

Always use moisturiser with an SPF factor to protect your skin against the sun and harsh weather elements.

Ascertain your skin colour undertone (warm/cold or a yellow/blue) and always ensure that the colours of your make-up and clothes suit you.

Choose shades of lipstick linked to your undertone - lighter or paler shades of red are suited to a cool/

In this age of technology and change it is extremely difficult to stay up to date with the latest and greatest beauty trends. “There are many people who purport themselves to be experts in this field but at the end of the day, it’s all about personal choice,” said Sylvia Dash, owner of Figures Models and Talent Association in Bedfordview. There are, however, a few basic rules that do not change.

SHE GAVE THE FOLLOWING BEAUTY TIPS, GLEANED FROM YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY:

blue undertone whilst bright red and darker colours are best suited to a warm/yellow undertone.

Make-up brushes should be washed once a week in a mild soapy solution and dried flat to avoid spread of bacteria and break-outs.

Eyeliner and mascara should never be shared as this increases risk of bacteria growth and infections spreading. They should be replaced every three months.

Avoid puffiness and bags under your eyes by regularly applying eye cream to hydrate the eye area.

The best way to avoid a painful wax is to have two Panado tablets one hour prior to the wax being done.

Basotho-styleStay warmBasotho-styleBasotho-styleStay warmBasotho-style

By Erika Schwartz, owner of Fashion House & Buyers LoungeStay warm and trendy in the cold months ahead by wearing a Seanamarena or Tyali Scortch jacket designed by Luthando Mbobo, founder of the Mbobo Movement. The jackets have been designed with Basotho blankets in mind. Mbobo’s creations combine an African look and feel with a modern, western infl uence to make unisex fashionable clothing for anyone to wear.

You are probably wondering where the Basotho blanket came from… The Basotho blanket originated in the early nineteenth century when the Basothos came into contact with the Europeans, Christian missionaries and Afrikaners from the south, who were looking for grazing. Christian missionaries and European traders settled in Lesotho and soon started to infl uence the Basotho’s garments with westernised skills and designs. From these different groups, the Basotho blanket was inspired and born. These blankets are traditionally made from the highest quality wool and are woven in South Africa. You can fi nd many designs, such as the Seanamarena and Tyali Scortch designs that are used as part of the Mbobo Movement jackets. Basotho blankets are in high demand in winter as they are soft, warm and made from 90 percent pure wool. You will stay warm without overheating. The Basotho blankets are useful even on

rainy days. During rainy weather, you will stay fairly dry, as wool does not readily absorb water. It also does not become heavy from water retention and is fi re-resistant, which is useful since South Africa is known for its social braais.

Welcoming a new baby into the world is an exciting and joyful experience for most parents and deciding on a name for the newborn is part of the excitement.

Finally deciding on a name - however long this takes - is not the end of the naming process, though, as the child still needs to be registered with the Department of Home Affairs. The sooner this is done, the better.

Registering the baby within 30 days of his birth is ideal. If for some reason you cannot complete the registration within 30 days of the birth, however, all is not lost.

One can still register a baby with Home Affairs if the baby is older than 30 days. In such cases, additional information will be required from the parents. Examples of such cases explained on their web-site are:

• Registration after 30 days, but before one year.• Registration after one year, but before the age of 15.• Registration after the age of 15 years.• Children born outside of South Africa.Each of the above-mentioned cases will require specifi c and unique forms and documentation.

For more information on the process of registering a child, visit the Department of Home Affairs offi ces or www.home-affairs.gov.za or contact Home Affairs General Enquiries on 0800 60 11 90.

Raising a child is hard enough but raising a little bundle with Down Syndrome is sure to be even more of a challenge due to their special needs. It is a chromosomal condition that is associated with intellectual disability and a characteristic facial appearance. It occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21.The syndrome occurs in people of all races and economic levels. It is said that older women have an

increased chance of one in 350 of conceiving a Down Syndrome child. In 1910 people with Down Syndrome were expected to survive only to the age of nine (www.ndss.org). Today, due to the medical advances, the life expectancy of individuals with this syndrome is much greater. They are becoming increasingly integrated into society and community organizations such as school and work forces.

THE EXTRA CHROMOSOME CALLED DOWN SYNDROME

For more information on Down Syndrome visit Down Syndrome South Africa at www.downsyndrome.org.za.

FAMILIES WITH A DOWN SYNDROME CHILD MIGHT SUFFER ADDITIONAL STRAIN DUE TO THE FOLLOWING

FAMILY FACTORS

• Poverty, poor housing, no car, and unemployment - these disadvantages make parenting more difficult in any family.

• Poor marital relationships, disharmony in the family.• Low self-esteem and self-confidence, passive and

ineffective coping strategies.• Poor parent-child relationship with child with Down

syndrome - emotional ambivalence towards the child.

CHILD FACTORS

1. Difficulties with control and behaviour management.2. The demands of parenting a child with Down

syndrome who has atypical difficulties such as: • persistent behaviour or sleep difficulties• more severe developmental delays• chronic health difficulties• acute, life-threatening, health difficulties• a difficult temperament e.g. restless, over-active,

Each year South Africans celebrate Workers’ Day on the 1st of May. In some countries, this day, which is celebrated to raise awareness of the

need to improve the rights of workers, is referred to as “Labour Day.”The history of this day dates back to 1886 in Chicago, USA when a workers’ protest

against their appalling working conditions turned into a massacre. In South Africa, this day was first recognised in the early 1980s and in 1994 it became a public holiday. The objective was to bring agreement between workers, trade unions and employers.Although the rights of workers are still a work in progress, it was acknowledged that workers need eight hours per day for their families and eight hours for sleep, leaving eight hours for work. Many South Africans still work extremely long hours, while some still have to face horrendous working conditions while others slave away for minimum wages. All is not yet fair in the workplace. If you are not a worker, why not celebrate this day by thinking of

those who are slaving away at jobs you would never consider doing?

Lusito Land: a festivaL of hope

The Lusito Land Festival is 16 years away from its 50th anniversary – an amazing feat that all started from humble beginnings 34 years ago. The celebrate yet another year, the Lusito Land Association hosted the festival’s pre-opening night on Thursday 23 April at the festival grounds in La Rochelle. The pre-opening was attended by family and friends of the Lusito Association for the Physically and Mentally Challenged as well as the sponsors and the festival. “Here we are again ... after 34 years, the Lusito Land Festival has kept on going,” said the MC in the opening of the event. Having first opened its doors in 1981 as a festival that

celebrated the Portuguese tradition and culture, over the years it has evolved into a festival celebrated by the many cultures that make up Johannesburg and Gauteng. More importantly, the festival raises much needed and appreciated funds for the Lusito Land School. “The main reason of the festival is to raise funds for the school,” said Chairman of the Lusito Association for the Physically and Mentally Challenged, Sergio Aquino. “People don’t fully grasp the impact that the festival and its funds have on the school,” he added. Aquino noted that the Lusito Land Association aims to be as transparent as possible in the public’s eye. “I am humbled and honoured to once again be a part of

this great cause,” expressed Deputy Director General, Chief Operations Officer, National Department of Transport Comendador Gilberto Martins. “With each passing year, the difficulties are greater, however we need to think out of the box and carry on with this noble cause. Over the years, the festival has survived and transformed,” added Martins. The festival runs from 24 April to 03 May 2015 at Wemmer Pan at Pioneer Park in La Rochelle in the south of Johannesburg. “This

year’s festival promises to be the best one we have ever put on and we have gone all out to make sure that all our visitors have a great time that exceeds all expectations,” said Noemia Contente, spokesperson from the Lusito Association for the Physically and Mentally Challenged. The Lusito Land Association welcomes all to the festival this year and would like to thank all of its sponsors – without them, this festival wouldn’t exist.

The public can now support their favourite out of the eight finalists by visiting www.kickoff.com for a final round of voting.“The Kick Off Footballer of the Season Award has become one of the measures by which players assess their season,” said editor of Kick Off, Richard Maguire. “Players want to know how they are perceived by the public, and how their personalities have im-pacted on South Africa’s football fans. It’s as much about performing on the pitch as it is about being an upstanding member of society, and the final eight nominees as voted for by the public illustrate this point. Amongst them we have real leaders, players who continually show fighting spirit and who put the team’s success before their own.”
