Bela-Bela’s star student Brighton Baloyi,who passed his matric in 2013 withdistinctions in Mathematics and LifeScience, was forced to drop out of histertiary studies at Wits University in2014 after the Bela-Bela Municipalityfailed to deliver on their promise ofassistance.According to Brighton’s mother,
Lorraine, her son was promisedassistance by the municipality alongwith several other children at thebeginning of 2014. The amount wassaid to be R9 600, but it was never paid.“I had to struggle to pay the money on
my own and it was difficult for me as Ido not have a stable job,” said Lorraine.Lorraine said that she was surprised
when Brighton told her in March that hewas dropping out of his ElectricalEngineering course at Wits University.He told her that he had made the

The new year had barely startedwhen Bela-Bela was left without powerfor more than two hours on Sunday, 4January.A transformer in Sutter Road caught
fire, which caused the outage.According to a spokesperson from
the technical department at the Bela-Bela Municipality, it appears as thoughsomeone was trying to steal cablesfrom inside the box.There were fewer power outages than
expected during the festive season,due to the success of load shedding.However, Eskom released a
statement recently which indicatedthat the odds are good that, if thedemand increases or one thereserves at one or more of the Eskomsub-stations becomes exhausted, loadshedding may return.

decision because he couldn’t stand tosee his mother struggling financiallyanymore.“I was worried, because the university
was going to be a great opportunity tobe the best he could be,” she said. “Itried to enquire at the municipality aboutthe funds they promised my son but Icould never get any answers.”Brighton, who has been home since
March, said that he is still hopeful thathe will be able to complete his studies.“I used to have to miss classes
because of transport issues,” he said. “Icame back home to refresh my mind asI was stressing about finances,” saidBrighton.Former Mayor Freddy Hlungwane, who
was the incumbent at the time thatBrighton was promised the assistance,could not be reached for comment.Municipal Spokesperson Matome
Sebelebele promised The BEAT that hewould gather more information if he could.

After the collapse at the Majubapower station in Mpumalanga in lastyear, Eskom suffered seriouschallenges to their ability to providepower to the nation. Urgent repairswere also undertaken to several othersubstations.Eskom is expecting serious pressure
to be put on the grid during Februaryand March, and have warned thepublic that they may need toimplement Phase One, Two or Threeload shedding.During Phase One load shedding,
power would be switched off everyother day for two hours. In PhaseTwo, power is switched off once daily,and during Phase Three the powerwill be turned off at least twice a day.Full load shedding schedules for
every town and area are available atthe websitewww.loadshedding.eskom.co.za(.)

A man who was arrested in connectionwith a case of hijacking is expected toappear before the Bela-BelaMagistrate’s Court on Thursday, 15January in connection with transportinghijacked vehicles.Eshmael Dremilas (43) was arrested
after being traced and cornered in Bela-Bela on 14 December 2014.Bela-Bela detectives Commander
Lieutenant-Colonel Abel Phetla said thatthe police received a tip-off about avehicle that had been hijacked inJohannesburg, and traced Dremilas towhere he entered the Bela Mall on 14December.The suspect was apprehended between
Engin and Total garages while drivingaround town. The car was confiscated,and was identified as the same vehiclethat was reported stolen earlier.Phetla said that the syndicate hijacks
cars around the country and storesthem at a hiding area for a time. He saidthat Dremilas then transports them to theBeit Bridge border, where they are sentoff to Mozambique and Zimbabwe forsale, which nets the syndicate aroundR15 000 per job.Dremilas did not deny his part in the
crime during an interview with TheBEAT. He told reporters that his job wasto “move the vehicles and get paid”. Hesaid that his arrest was mostly down tobad luck. The police searched him,confiscated the money and arrestedhim.“After I was stopped and searched, I
knew that was it. “I’m caught,” I thought,and there was no time to hide themoney. I got busted and ended up withnothing for the work I’d done, while theactual criminals got away,” he said.Dremilas was against his story
appearing in the paper. He said that thepublic would most likely believe that hehad been the hijacker.He was remanded into custody after
his first court appearance on 18December 2014.The police are still searching for other
members of the syndicate.

The early morning of Tuesday, 6 January 2015 saw students across thenation rushing to get their hands on a copy of the early paper to find outwhether they had passed matric. Photo: TK Mashaba
The national matric pass rate hasdropped to 75,8% in 2014. Not the bestresult we could have hoped for, but thatmeans that several hundred thousandpeople are now out of school, free andclear.What comes next?Some of you, one would hope, are
planning to go to university or college.That is a good path to choose. It allowsyou another three or four years tofigure out just who exactly you are, andwhat you plan to do with your life. It isto be hoped that most of you will makeit out the other side with qualificationsthat will help you to enter the careers ofyour choice and become productivemembers of society.Some others will probably go for
some other form of tertiary education,while the lucky ones may take a gapyear before moving on fully into adultlife.Some of you will move directly into
some kind of job, falling into adult lifestraight from school.If you are not sure what career you
would like to pursue, there areresources to help you. Unisa has aCareer Guidance website which willhelp you to find what you are lookingfor. It can be found atwww.unisa.ac.za/counselling (.)From all of us at The BEAT, we wish
you the very best in whatever futureyou make for yourself. We hope thatyou become, in time, and in whatevercareer you choose, the best version ofyourself.You are entering a new and exciting
phase of your life this year — the startof your life as adult human beings.It may be hard at times. It will certainly
be very different from what you’re usedto. There are fewer excuses allowed inadult life. More responsibilities. You willhave to learn to live your own life, takeresponsibility for your own successesand failures. Whether you succeed orfail from now on will be solely andcompletely down to you. It will be downto how hard you work, how well youperform. The choices you make inyour life will define it forever.That much responsibility is terrifying.
It can be a weight on your shoulders,weighing you down. Or if you allow it, itcan be an anchor, keeping you steady,keeping you on course. If you acceptresponsibility for your own life, there’snothing you can’t do.That’s all part and parcel of adulthood,
and that’s what you’re standing on thebrink of now.In the words of Peter Pan, “To live, is
an awfully big adventure.”
Many of our matrics this yeardid not make the cut. This isalways a hard time of the year,because as much as we rejoicefor those who have made it, ourhearts also go out to those whofailed.However, it’s not actually the
end of the world if you didn’tpass your matric. I know it mustfeel like it right now. Failingmatric feels like the end of allyour hopes and dreams, and it’sa terrible experience.But don’t lose hope!Many people who went on to do
great things never passed theirmatric — or the local equivalent.Our own president Jacob Zuma,according to his biography onthe ANC home page, does nothave any formal schooling at all.The British author TerryPratchett, who has written morethan 70 books which are sold inevery country in the world, leftschool at 16.It is not impossible to have a
good life without matric. It isharder, yes, but not impossible.Of course, there are many
options open to those who havenot made the cut this year. Youcan re-enroll in school, andhope to improve your marks nextyear. You can do your matricthrough a distance learninginstitution such as Intec, whichhas the added benefit that youcan start working while you doit, and support yourself.There are programs available,
for those who look, that helpthose without matric to obtainsome kind of usefulqualification. Perhaps you couldenroll in apprenticeship-stylecourses, or see if you can findsome kind of internship programin the career you would like topursue. There are alwaysoptions!There is always another road.
Doesn’t the saying say ‘Godonly closes a door if he opensa window’? You can stillaccomplish your dreams.It is a sad fact that the suicide
rate among young people spikesduring the early part of the year,as matriculants find that theyhave not made the cut and feelas though there is nothing leftfor them. There’s always a storyin the news of the young man orwoman who took their own life indespair.Don’t be one of those stories!If you feel as though you are in
danger of committing suicide,for any reason, please contactthe South African Depressionand Anxiety Group at 011 2344837 (8:00-20:00 Mondays toSunday) or, if you areexperiencing an emergency,phone them at 0800 567 567.They have trained peoplestanding ready to help you.Please don’t despair. There is
still hope.
