The Ekurhuleni Metro’s water rates for the draft budget have increased by 14,5 percent for numerous reasons. Among these are: aged meters, unmetered properties, aged infrastructure and unprotected steel pipes. This is according to Ekurhuleni Metro spokesman Themba Gadebe.Gadebe further stated that the current Non Water Revenue (NRW) (figure reflecting the Metro’s ‘unaccounted for’ water) was 37,8 percent, as per the International Water Association’s barometer.Last week, the tame TIMES reported that Councillor Eddie Taylor, DA Shadow Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Finance, said in a meeting held at the Edenvale Council Chambers on the draft budget, that around 38 percent of the

Metro’s water was “unaccounted for” due to water wastage and aging infrastructure.In his address, Clr Taylor said this figure should be well below 30 percent. Gadebe said the Metro’s “unaccounted for” water had significantly dropped from 40.3 percent to the current figure of 37.8 percent over the past few months. “The average NRW is a result of an aged infrastructure and non-technical losses such as illegal connections,” he said. “The Ekurhuleni Metro has however adopted a ten-year Water Demand Management Strategy, with 2013/2014 being the base year where these intervention projects will be implemented,” said Gadebe.A meeting enabling further public participation before the finalisation of the budget will be held on 16 April. For more information, contact [email protected] See next week’s tame TIMES for further insights into the current draft budget.

“In the current term of office we have had to manage to begin the transition from a city that is fragmented, reactive, slow, complex, inequitable, risk-averse, and conservative, with a spending focus, to one that is cohesive, proactive, fast, modern, simple, equitable and risk-managed, with an investing focus.”These were the words of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality executive mayor Clr Mondli Gungubele in the State of the City Address at the Germiston Council Chambers

last week.“In the State of the Nation Address the President of the Republic Honourable Jacob Zuma reminded us that: ‘Local government is everybody’s business. We have to make it work,’” he said. “In light of this statement, we need to make every effort to cut wastage by spending public funds prudently, hiring competent staff; and ensuring transparency and accountability of municipalities. We must remember that our people need water, electricity, waste removal, houses, roads, sanitation and a host of other services and continuously demonstrate our steadfastness in our commitment to the vision of the Freedom Charter and the objectives of the National Development Plan (NDP).”Clr Gungubele has urged the people of Ekurhuleni to rally behind the NDP, to drive its implementation and to work with the government to eradicate poverty, reduce unemployment and eliminate inequality by 2030. He said the Ekurhuleni government remained committed to the Ekurhuleni Aerotropolis programme. “In September 2013, we announced the appointment of a consortium that had won the contract to develop a 30-year Ekurhuleni Aerotropolis Master Plan. There is no doubt that the Aerotropolis concept is now mainstreamed in the city and has ignited a new wave of investments in and around the airport catchment area,” he said.He said the Aerotropolis concept has been successful in the airport cities of Asia, Europe and North America; hence the Ekurhuleni Aerotropolis programme offered a unique opportunity to apply lessons learned at these airports to develop a truly African solution to the area’s economic system.

She is told not to open the box. But of course, curiosity eventually gets the better of her and as she lifts up its lid, all kinds of evil escape. She manages to shut the lid, but it is too late.The story goes that, on hearing her weeping, Epimetheus comes running to see what has happened. She opens the box to show him, believing it to be empty and something beautiful flies out, on the tail of the evil that has been released - hope.As we enter the miracle season of Easter, we consider the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope that He has given to us. This week, in the spirit of Easter, two local residents share powerful stories of new life following drug addiction (see pages 4 and 5). This Easter, we also give you the chance

to stretch your baking skills on page 11 with our special hot cross bun recipe. We also have something for the kids with our colouring-in special (page 11).As the weather becomes crisper with the approach of autumn, the anticipation of change and new possibilities are in the air. It was against this backdrop of possibility that the tame TIMES was started six years ago. It’s our birthday on 1 April and in celebration of this milestone, we have thrown down a challenge to you to nominate your community hero (page 11). This week, forget your challenges and focus on the hope of the season. To birthdays and new beginnings!

Edenvale police have shown zero tolerance to drugs in their area, and have been doing unannounced drug sweeps at local schools.Edenvale police’s crime prevention officer Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts said the police had in the past week already visited two schools and at one of these schools, found ‘fresh’ cocaine in one of the school’s bathrooms, which indicated that learners were using the drugs at school.He said while many school authorities were cooperative, some school officials were sweeping the extent of the drug problem

among learners under the carpet and refusing to take ownership of the problem.“School authorities have a responsibility to take the necessary action where drug usage is concerned and police officials will report schools to the Gauteng Department of Education if they do not go through necessary procedures as far as drug control is concerned,” he said.He said the police would continue to do unannounced sweeps of the schools. “We continue drug-related patrols of the area and made 10 arrests in the area over the past week,” he said. “We require the community and local schools’ support to alleviate this ongoing problem.”

Bedfordview police officials have clamped down on bribery and have encouraged residents who find themselves in a situation with an official requesting or suggesting a bribe to report this official to the relevant authorities.Bedfordview Community Policing Forum (BCPF) spokesman Gavin Henry said they had had numerous incidents reported to them where police officials had stopped vehicles and accused the driver of drunk

driving.“In such instances, they told the driver to follow them to facilities a good drive away to get the situation sorted out. In reports made to us, the officials suggested a payment would save the person the long drive to the station in question.”Henry has advised the public to report incidents of bribery or attempted bribery to the police.

Zero tolerance Police clamp down on briberyHeather [email protected]

TEAMWORK: Officials from the Edenvale police are clamping down on local schools in efforts to alleviate drug use among learners.

Key players in crime prevention in the community met with residents to discuss pertinent issues related to community safety at the recent meeting of the Edenvale Community Policing Forum (ECPF) at the Fahrenheit Restaurant in Terrace Road, Edenvale on Thursday evening last week.Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts, Edenvale police’s crime prevention offi cer, said house robberies remained a concern in the area. He said car theft incidents were still high, specifi cally thefts of Toyota bakkies and Polos, and he identifi ed the Edenvale CBD area - especially in the region of the SARS and Home Affairs offi ces - as a car theft hot spot. He said theft out of motor vehicles had decreased by 50 percent over the past month but has advised residents not to use their cars as ‘safes’ for valuables.He said four local schools had recently been targeted in break-ins. “In these break-ins, methods used indicated these were ‘professional’ criminals. In all cases, it was discovered the alarm systems were inadequate. In one incident, a school authority received a notice over the weekend that the school’s power had gone off. The criminals had merely switched the power off to deactivate the alarms. On the Monday, all the computers from the computer room were missing. Please, make sure that your alarm systems work,” he advised, further stating that in an incident on Wednesday last week, in which a house had been broken into, the alarm connected with the electric fence had only gone off 15 minutes after it had been activated.” Ward 19 councillor Bill Rundle said he had received numerous reports from residents targeted by conmen posing as Telkom offi cials. Residents are advised always to

check the credentials of offi cials before letting them on to their property. Further concern was expressed over bogus charity offi cials collecting money for ‘rhinos.’ These offi cials, posing as ‘rangers’ at various Edenvale malls, were in fact conmen.Metro police spokesman Inspector Eddie Hart said the police had removed 20 vagrants from the area over the past month, as well as 49 traders. He said 10 illegal structures had also been destroyed. “We will be doing ongoing sweeps of the area,” he said.Mamba Security offi cials encouraged residents to know their neighbours, as in many instances crime was averted by a ‘nosy neighbour’ noticing something or someone suspicious on neighbouring properties and notifying offi cials.At the meeting, ECPF chairperson Linda McKenzie congratulated Lieutenant Colonel Roberts on his recent fi rst runner-up award in the National SAPS Excellence Awards at Emperors Palace and commended him on the work he had done for the community.

Liquor to the value of R78 000 and two plasma TVs were stolen from an entertainment venue in Van Buuren Road on 22 March, at around 10pm.Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesman, said a business owner had received an SMS from her security company on the evening notifying her that the alarm of

her business had gone off. “After inspection, the security company discovered that the business had been broken into and entered through a back entrance,” said Sergeant Nhlabathi. “The suspects stole liquor from the refrigerator before dismounting the television screens from the walls and fl eeing the scene ,” he said.

R78 000 liquor stolen from entertainment venue

Following numerous reports of fraud in the Bedfordview area, Bedfordview police spokesman Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi has advised residents to be extra vigilant in keeping their banking cards and identity documents safe.“If your documents are lost or stolen, these need to be reported immediately so that the computer systems can pick up fraudulent activity and identify perpetrators,” he said.

In a recent case of fraud in a Bedfordview shopping centre, a woman attempted to buy R11 180 worth of sunglasses from a sunglass retail facility. “The shop owner called the fraud department of the relevant bank to check the woman’s card and it was discovered the card was fraudulent,” he said. The woman in question was arrested and charged with fraud.

Police take stand against fraud

Bedfordview police have asked residents hiring domestic workers or gardeners to get all necessary information on them before employing them.Sergeant Mduduza Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesman, said there had been incidents where domestic workers were connecting with criminals and leaking information to them.“Please, it is imperative you have a copy of your employee’s ID, as well as information and contact details on their relatives. It is also recommended you do

a reference check, including a screening to ensure police clearance on the person in question. Don’t simply hire someone without doing a background check.”Edenvale police crime prevention offi cer Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts said domestic workers were also being targeted in crimes as they were viewed as soft targets. He advised residents to equip their domestic workers with the necessary information to prevent crime.

Nutrition and ways of maintaining a healthy lifestyle are topics that have become popular among many. It is no different when it comes to teaching our children to eat healthy food, although many parents may feel this is an impossible task since most children enjoy junk food. Although some may feel that they need a degree in nutrition in order to raise healthy children, Kidshealth.org has made the process of teaching offspring the importance of a healthy lifestyle a bit easier, by providing parents with some basic guidelines to help guide children to eat right and maintain a healthy weight.Here are 10 key rules to live by: (Source: kidshealth.org)

“Parents control the supply lines.” Even though children might refuse to eat the ‘healthy stuff’ they will not go hungry and will eat what is available. Remember this next time you stock up the grocery cupboard.

“From the foods you offer, kids get to choose what they will eat or whether to eat at all.” Have a selection of healthy foods they may choose from. This will give them some assurance that they have a say in the matter.

“Quit the ‘clean-plate club.’“ Let your children stop eating when they feel they had enough. This way they will be less likely to

overeat.

“Start them young.” Expose them to many different healthy options as early as possible. Just remember that you may have to serve a new food several times before they accept it.

“Rewrite the kids’ menu.” When dining at a restaurant, let them taste some of the food you ordered. You might just be surprised by their willingness to experiment with food.“Drink calories count.” Avoid sweetened drinks. Rather have water or milk at hand to quench their thirst.

“Put sweets in their place.” Do not use dessert as a means of reward in order to get them to finish their healthy plate of food. Simply see dessert as an extension of the meal.

“Food is not love.” Do not use sweets or food as a primary means to show love.

“Kids do as you do.” As the old saying goes, “Practise what you preach.” In order for your children to eat healthy, you need to show them how it is done.

“Limit TV and computer time.” Experts have found that when eating in front of the television or computer, one consumes more food since you do not pay attention to what you are eating. Teach your children the ‘old way’ of eating at the di nner table.

Some of Holy Rosary School’s Grade 11 Geography class recently went on a tour to Zingela Safari and River Company, in Weenen. This trip allowed the learners to experience rivers and their characteristics, as an introduction to the matric syllabus. It also showed how the outdoors can also be a classroom, and that informal learning is just as important as formalised classroom learning.

ALIVE: Seen here are Carey Berning, Caitlin Hunt, Toni Latré, Caitlin Williams, Ashleigh James, Kayleigh Masters, Giulia Lencioni, Taylor Marcel, Cassidy Bessa, Kim Watson, Keegan Hunt and Morgan Larangeira enjoying a spontaneous jump after a hike up ‘Pimple Hill’.

TALENTED: St Benedict’s College learners Sibusiso Hlabangane and Jordan Coutinho were handed first team tennis debuts against Linden and helped their school win this fixture (6-3, in matches). They are now looking forward to representing their school at the St Stithian’s Easter Festival where they will be participating against St Stithian’s, Grey College, Affies, Pretoria Boys and Clifton.

A team from Joburg Ballet recently visited St Andrew’s School for Girls as part of its Pirouette Challenge, initiated to raise funds for the Joburg Cuban School Development Programme in Alexandra and Soweto.

Now the ballet company challenges

B e d f o r d v i e w and Edenvale

b u s i n e s s e s , schools and

i nd i v i dua l s to upload photos of

their own pirouettes, after filming them, on to their site and at the same time, to make a donation to the company to support its outreach initiatives.The idea is that you do the challenge and then ‘pay it forward,’ through challenging someone else: “Following St

Andrew’s successful attempt, they have challenged St John’s College to do the same,” said Joburg Ballet spokesperson Bruce Dennill. The tame TIMES asked Dennill what it was about the pirouette that had captured so many hearts and imaginations. “It’s one of the most iconic movements in ballet and thus one of the most recognised,” he said, “Most people are aware that there’s spinning around involved, even if they have to be taught the technique.”He said most people could spin once on one foot without falling over but the real challenge came in doing a single pirouette with style –– and then being able to do multiple pirouettes at a time, which takes years of practice and hard work. “The Guinness World Record for consecutive pirouettes is 55!” He said it was difficult to say whose pirouettes stood out as the greatest

in the history of ballet. “Perhaps the Russian dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, though it’s difficult to single out a particular name as the pirouette is simply another part of every ballet dancer’s ‘language’.” “The challenge has been well supported,” said Dennill. “You can check Facebook

page for examples of dancers, radio channel staff and ordinary folk from around the country and the world who have contributed to the challenge.”To view the St Andrew’s attempt, visit h t tps: / /www.facebook.com/v ideo.php?v=774117409352000&video_source=pages_finch_main_video

A cat-loving veterinarian from Beijing is successfully breeding felines with a difference. Tired of the usual tortoise-shell/ tabby/ ginger/Siamese options, he decided 25 years ago to create a designer pet species for humans who dislike the hunting habits of the common cat.

Mr Bobby Chang’s efforts have finally borne fruit – or, rather, vegetables. The latest addition to his cattery is a small Sphynx cat called Xing-Xing with green eyes and a penchant for digging up carrots. All Chang’s cats eat lettuce and spinach, but are as yet unable to harvest the leaves by themselves.www.newsfor01April.org

Urban legend has it that in one of the latest trending topics on Twitter citizens and shopowners are being urged to help Zuma “pay back the money” 10 cents at a time.Because of the practice of pricing goods at R19.90 or R9.95, many shops are running short of the 5- and 10-cent pieces they need to give change to shoppers. So the suggestion on Twitter – made by an anonymous source – is that consumers should agree to donate the money to help pay for Nkandla. The campaign kicks off on 1 April 2015.

After the BBC’s decision not to renew the contract of suspended Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson for allegedly assaulting his producer, the popular motoring show is in trouble. Rumour has it that certain SA taxi associations have been approached with a view to helping the British national broadcaster locate a replacement for the talkative motoring journalist. Extreme driving skills, a vibrant imagination and a keen sense of humour are required. Applications open on 1 April 2015.

“It is high time we marked the Equator. Otherwise, how do people know where it is?” This was the intriguing question posed by a delegate to a World Geography Day Conference recently held in Jozi.The 750 delegates from around the globe who met at a Sandton hotel last week resolved to mark the Equator across the planet with a palisade fence. This project will begin on 1 April.

raTS raId SHEbEEnThokoza tavern-owners have been warned to be on the lookout for a gang of thirsty rats that could do serious damage to their stock in a matter of a few hours. tame TIMES spoke to Rose Khumalo, owner-manager of Rosie’s Tavern, who told us, ”I was woken up at 3am by the sound of drunk rats. About 20 of them had broken into my stock and smashed the bottles. They drank most of it,” said the sad shebeen queen, crying tears of frustration. “Unfortunately, they finished all the Jack Daniels, so now I have only beer left for my customers,” she added. “I can

only afford to re-stock on Wednesday 1 April.”

no Tax CuTS for ESKom-frIEndly buSInESSESThere is no truth in the rumour that businesses that implement extreme load shedding measures will be eligible for income tax cuts. Corporates that ban lifts in favour of stairs, install stationary bicycles that power PCs through the sweat of pedalling employee s and opt for unrefrigerated colddrinks instead of tea and coffee at tea-time will not be rewarded. www.aprilfirstjoke.org

aprIl foolS’ dayThe origin of the April Fools’ Day tradition can be traced back to the 16th century. One theory, dating back to 1564, suggests that the French reformed their calendar by moving their new year to 1 January instead of 1 April, causing many people to forget to keep up with the change, resulting in others playing jokes on them.Pranksters would stick a fish made of paper on to those people’s backs and call them ‘’Poisson d’Avril,’’ which means ‘’April Fish.’’ To this day, ‘’April Fish’’ remains the French term for April Fools.

DETERMINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Vincent Ramulifho

Local security supervisor Vincent Ramulifho has a vision to bring the community together through sport and through Unity Social Life is organising a Bedfordview Charity Cycle Challenge for 16 September.He said the event would be used to raise money for children in need of medical care.Ramulifho said he first became aware of this need in the community when his son became desperately ill and his family could not afford

the medical care he needed. “It was a terrible challenge and this experience, and others, made me aware of the need for the community to stand in unity to face society’s challenges – crime, health, and education, to name a few,” he said.He said he formed the non-profit organisation with the view to bringing this kind of unity to Bedfordview and Edenvale. “Having worked in the area in security, I am familiar with its needs and challenges,” he said. He said he

had decided to use cycling as a means to support the organisation’s cause as he had seen many cyclists from all walks of life take to the area’s roads each day. “Cycling is the new golf,” he said.Ramulifho is currently looking for sponsors for the event. For more information, contact 083 558 5170.

Cycle for unity

Course conquerors are crowned


Course conquerors are crownedThe Checkpoint Challenge Schools League recently ended, with its fourth and final event at Edenvale High School. This was followed by a training event for the top scorers at Jeppe High School for Boys. At this training event the participants learned how to use our EMIT electronic timing system, as well as what to do on point-to-point courses.With this experience in hand, the runners took part in the Schools League Final at the Kloofendal Nature Reserve on Monday 9 March.Kloofendal, which is all about rocks, bushes, highveld grass and steep slopes, was a bit of a shock to the system for all runners, especially those participating in the Final for the first time, said league spokesperson Lisa de Speville. She said her advice to the runners had been not to try to win – “they

were competing against children who had done schools league for a few years and who’d experienced this type of terrain” - but to focus on not being disqualified. “I spent the event out in the field taking photographs and assisting very lost runners - from all participating schools,” she said.Still, she said children from local schools fared well in the challenge. In the Senior Boys, Brodric Pahl (Jeppe Boys) was placed 6th. “Brodric did schools league last year so he went into this knowing a little more about what to expect - and he shone.” Carl Holmes (Jeppe Boys) came in 8th.David Newton (Jeppe Boys) placed 6th on the Junior Boys course and Tiffany Harzon (Jeppe Girls), 6th place in the Junior Girls section. “The Junior Girls category was the only one with no disqualified runners,” she

said. “Bevelina Ledwaba (Jeppe Girls) came in as our highest placed Senior Girl,” de Speville continued. “Primary Girls and Boys from Leicester Road School had a bit of a tough time, taking more than an hour on their courses.”
