Dancing sensation
goes for glory
T
hirteen times undefeated
South African National
Freestyle Dance Champion, Andrea Truter (pictured)
from Boksburg will be among the
cream of the country’s dance
crop competing in the 2016
Battle of the Giants All Styles
Dance Festival.
This festival will be taking
place at Carnival City for
the first time from August
4 to 7.
One of South Africa’s
largest and most prestigious all style dance
competitions, the Battle of
the Giants All Styles Dance
Festival is in its 26th year and
has traditionally been held at Sun
City.
Truter, who dances with Boksburg-based dance company, Nikki
Truter Dance Inspiration, is the South
African Dance Champion of Champions for 2011 and 2012.
Truter has also competed in
the Disco World Championships in South Africa in 2012
and received a third place. In
2013 in Germany, she came sixth
out of 127 dancers at the Disco
World Championships and was the
only South African to make a disco
dance final.
Last year, Truter just missed the final
out of 134 dancers at the World Championships.
Definitely a force to be reckoned with,
Truter will be competing in the 19 and over
championship freestyle and slow dance
categories.
She will also
compete in the disco
dance section and

freestyle section at the 2016 Battle of the Giants All Styles Dance Festival, hoping to claim
her disco dance South African National Champion title for the sixth time. A dedicated dance
performer, Truter has been dancing since the
age of two and turned 21 in July 2016.
Last year’s Battle of the Giants was wildly
successful. Dancers performed in a sold-out
SuperBowl at Sun City, to an audience of over
9 000 people over the course of three days.
“We are really excited to provide the stage
for this year’s Battle of the Giants,” said Matthew Cook, the events and entertainment
manager at Carnival City.
“We expect capacity crowds at the Big Top
Arena and Mardi Gras to watch and support
the country’s up-and-coming dancers.”
The Battle of the Giants All Styles Dance
Festival is an internationally recognised event
organised and sanctioned by the South African Dance Teachers Association Stage Branch.
Competitors will showcase their talents in a
range of freestyle dance techniques, including hip-hop, popping, breakdance, freestyle,
ballroom, Latin American, slow dance, show
dance, jazz, modern, ballet and disco dance.
The competition also includes a para-dance
section where able and disabled dancers join
together in a routine to compete in small
groups and formations, so they too can go on
to compete in a world championship.
All dance entry enquiries must be directed
to Bev Wood on 083 282 7734 or email bewood@vodamail.co.za.
A new generation of dancers are coming
forward with a unique dance style all of their
own. Dancers demonstrate complex body
movements and amazing syncopated foot
movements, wearing glamorous costumes in
some of the categories.
Athletes are judged on a demanding set of
criteria, including timing and rhythm, body
lines, movement, rhythmic interpretation,
footwork and floor craft.
Well-known judge, ‘Super Malcolm’ is joining the event this year from the UK and brings
a wealth of knowledge and experience to this
year’s event, and will be judging the hip-hop
and street dance sections.
The competition is open to dancers ranging
from under-nines to over 35s, from beginners
to amateur or rising star level to championships level.
Individual dancers will have the opportunity to compete for titles and prizes in this
year’s Battle of the Giants competition, which
is also one of the qualifier events in the World
Trial Circuit programme. Dancers can obtain
points in order to be a South Africa representative in the International Dance Organisation
(IDO) Championships in the style of show
dance, hip-hop and disco dance, jazz, modern
and ballet.
The Battle of the Achievers competition is
one of the special features of this event.
Finalists from the most advanced sections
in the 16-years-and-over age groups in hiphop and freestyle will battle it out in an effort
to win this prestigious title.

Crime News
Hijacked truck
recovered
The EMPD Community Liaison Unit
members acted on information about
suspicious activity taking place at a
plot in Mapleton, Boksburg.
The officers received information
recently at 1.30pm that several people
were in the process of off-loading
goods from an articulated truck with
two trailers at the plot.
"When the metro police approached
the plot in Diana Street about 10
people who were seen offloading 500g
coffee tins ran away.
"Upon investigating further, it
emerged that about 24 of the pallets
were missing.
"Officers continued the search on
the plot and found more coffee hidden
inside several vehicles on the premises," said EMPD spokesman Lieut-Col
Wilfred Kgasago.
Kgasago said that although the
Mercedes-Benz truck was recovered
with some of its cargo, its 50-year-old
driver was missing and didn't answer
his cellphone when contacted.
The goods were from a company in
Alrode and were destined for Durban,
KwaZulu-Natal.
Kgasago added that a sophisticated
eight-channel jammer was found
inside the stolen and still-idling
Mercedes-Benz truck.
A case of theft of goods was opened
at Dawn Park Police Station.
Investigations are under way to
bring to book those responsible for
the crime.
Robbers with toy
gun arrested
Two men were arrested after police
found them in possession of a toy gun.
It is believed that the men used the
toy to rob their targets along Campbell Road.
Foot-beat police officers stumbled
upon the pair lying on the ground in
the bushes, apparently to avoid detection.
Upon searching them, officers
found the fake weapon, which was
described as a black 9mm toy gun.
The men were, however, charged
with possession of a dangerous
weapon. Police are now urging members of the public who were previously robbed by two men matching
the description of the arrested pair
to contact the Boksburg police on 011
841 6859.
* Also on July 18, the Boksburg police arrested three alleged copper-cable thieves following a tip-off officers
received from a member of the public,
who spotted the trio carrying stolen
copper cables on the N17 Freeway.

Shocking stats revealed
T
he Boksburg SPCA had to respond to over 2 600 cruelty
reports over the last year.
This was revealed during the
society's AGM held on on July 23,
at St Dominics Hall.
The newly elected Boksburg
SPCA chairperson, John Penrose,
presented his first overview report
for the year ended March 31.
He also revealed 2 000 warnings were issued out of the cruelty
cases. Penrose said over 1 600 cats
and over 3 300 dogs were brought
to the SPCA the last year.
In addition, 436 pre-home
checks were conducted and over
1 700 animals were sterilised.
Penrose, who took over from
Alta Gobey, gave an overview of
what the SPCA have done during
the past year. He pointed out the
three biggest challenges faced by
the Boksburg SPCA.
Firstly, he said the society has
been running at a monthly loss
over the past 12 months.
Secondly, he said SPCA manager Maggie Mudd needs huge
support in order to turn around
the operational aspects of the
pound, including numerous employee issues that had been largely
neglected prior to her appointment.
The third challenge is ensuring
that Boksburg SPCA both retained
its credibility as a society and
raised its profile and reputation
as a professional animal welfare
organisation.
The Boksburg SPCA currently
has 16 employees, most of whom
have long length of service.
Following the resignation of
Inspector Diale Ratsela, the organisation suffered headaches but
later another inspector from the
Long standing achievement certificates awarded to employees of the Boksburg SPCA. They are
(from left) David Kholu, Doctor Mphila, Johannes Kholu, Maggie Mudd (SPCA Boksburg manager),
Frans Mathathu and John Penrose (SPCA Boksburg chairperson).
Germiston SPCA, Hope Mokalapa,
joined the team in November
2015.
Penrose said the SPCA continues to retain the services of Dr
Andre Muntu for the in-house
clinic and who ensures the best
care is given to all animals brought
into the clinic.
“We have recently begun a
programme by which Dr Muntu is
spending time with specialist vets
in order to increase his scope of
expertise.
"Our clinic over the last 12
months has become self-funded.
I must add, however, that our
clinic is showing signs of age
and an upgrade of our X-ray and
operating facilities as well as the
clinic in general is a priority for
the committee this coming year,”
Penrose said.
“From the statistics gathered it
shows how busy the society is and
unfortunately the need for this
service is growing at an alarming
rate."
Fundraising and operational
income showed a steady increase
in 2014/15 to 2015/16 from street
collections, the second-hand shop,
medical clinic, new homes fund,
donations and boarding fees.
During the past financial year
the Boksburg SPCA undertook
maintenance projects, including:
Fitting out the cattery cages
to bring them up to standard.
Major work on the areas for
kennelling.
Tiling
Painting
Ground works, including
grassed areas.
Planting of trees and flowers.
Upgrading the CCTV systems.
Implementing a finger-scanning clock-in system.
Continued maintenance work
on its ageing vehicle fleet.
Repair and installation of air
conditioners in the offices, clinic
and shop.
Roof repairs.
Office furniture replacement.
Pound house maintenance.
Telephone system replacement.
Penrose thanked multiple companies and individuals for their
continued support.
According to Penrose the Boksburg SPCA made great strides in
raising the profile of the SPCA.
“We continue to grow our credibility and public support and we
know we have gone a long way in
achieving our goals in the prevention of cruelty to animals.
"We hope we have served the
NSPCA well, the public and most
importantly the animals,” Penrose
said.
The Boksburg SPCA presented
its five long-standing employees
who had been with the SPCA for
over 10 years with certificates.
Crime prevention operation yields results
A two-day-long crime prevention operation by
the Boksburg Police, Parkdene, Boksburg South
and East CPFs led to the arrests of 11 suspects
for crimes ranging from possession of illegal
goods to theft.
The massive anti-crime blitz, involving detectives, police management and CPF members,
was conducted over the weekend.
Although the police claim that they invited all
the CPF forums within their precinct, only the
above mentioned CPF forums participated in
the operation.
The lack of participation by the other CPF
forums has not gone down well with the police,
who placed on record their disappointment,
stating that the lack of community involvement
in the fight against crime weakens the struggle
against criminals.
For that reason, the police are urging commuA weekend crime prevention operation by the Boksburg police, Parkdene, Boksburg nity members to work with the police through

Knives, dagga found at schools
The community of Windmill Park with the support of Patriotic Alliance took the stand in
fighting against drugs, gangterism and criminal activities happening in Windmill Park,
on July 23.
The Ekurhuleni Metro police
found dagga and knives during a raid at two local 'notorious' schools on July 27.
EMPD spokesperson LieutCol Wilfred Kgasago said
the notoriety of the two high
schools in Reiger Park, Hoërskool Oosrand and Reiger
Park High School, prompted
the metro police to conduct
searches looking for drugs
and dangerous weapons.
The raids took place between 7am and 2pm.
"Several small boxes of
dagga and in ziplocks were
confiscated.
"Furthermore, two Okapi
knives which were found
hidden in a litter bin inside
a Grade Eight classroom at
one of the schools were also
confiscated," said Kgasago.
No arrests were made.
The EMPD K9 Unit
conducted the searches in
conjunction with a representative from the Education Department, an SAPS member
and a local social worker.
A short lecture on the dangers of drug abuse and gangsterism was delivered to the
learners after the searches
were completed.

Members of the community and Patriotic Alliance

known drug houses, to warn
them to stop killing their

Chlorine bomb thrown into yard
A chlorine bomb, which was
thrown into Patrick Mitchell’s property in Falcon
Crest, Parkdene, exploded
about two metres from
where he was standing.
It is unknown who threw
the chlorine bomb over
the boundary wall of the
property, which borders
on Heidelberg Road, but
to Mitchell it sounded like
young children.
Mitchell was busy hanging washing when "something" landed on his house’s
roof before it rolled off and
exploded a few metres from
him.
Only after the explosion
did he realise that it was
a chlorine bomb. “It was
extremely loud,” he said.
Apparently the security
guard at the main gate of
the complex, which is approximately 300 metres
away from where Mitchell
lives, also heard the explosion.
“My heart was racing for
about half an hour after the
bomb went off,” he said.
Another chlorine bomb
was reportedly thrown
against the wall outside the
property.
Mitchell is concerned
over the possibility of children playing outside being
injured, should such an
incident occur again.
“A few months ago,
children threw eggs at my
kitchen window,” he said.
Mitchell urges the public
to be on the lookout for the
culprits.

The picture perfect life of an
extraordinary photographer
Johané Turkstra
L
aetitia Kenny is a mother,
former teacher and a master
photographer.
She is proud to invite people into
her home in Boksburg, which reflects
her cultivation of and her love for
sophistication.
The Advertiser had an opportunity
to sit down with Kenny, a prominent
member of the Boksburg Camera
Club, surrounded by interior decor
which is suitable for a home and
lifestyle magazine.
In the living room, a painting displays an image of a beautiful woman
smoking a cigarette in bed.
Kenny lives there with her husband, Michael, and their two daughters, Nicole and Caitlin.
She bought her first camera 22
years ago and she described it as
“love at first sight”.
It was an entry-level film camera
and she developed the photographs
herself, in a home-made chemical
darkroom.
She explained that she had to
make the darkroom completely dark
and she literally boarded the windows and air vents herself.
She admitted that it was not very
healthy, but the hobby was very
rewarding.
Decades later she describes her
photographic style as “evolving".
She joined the local camera club
because she “was looking for likeminded people who share [her] pas-
Fear.
sion for the discipline and who can
help [her] grow as a photographer”.
"Club photography is very competitive and the photographers compete
at club, national and international
level," said Kenny, who is also a
member and a national director of
the Photographic Society of South
Africa (PSSA).
When asked what kind of photography she enjoys, she said she loves
photographing people and that portraiture will always stay her first love.
"I am drawn to the poise, grace and
confidence of dancers, from little ballerinas to adult dancers," she added.
Her work includes implied nude
photographs, which means that the
models are required to pose naked,
even though the image itself does not
contain explicit nudity.
"I enjoy working with the models,
because they are comfortable in their
bodies and they also appreciate the
elegance of implied nudity."
When asked how she adapted to
the digital migration of photography,
Kenny said that she sees great potential in digital photography.
"Digital cameras offer faster frame
rate and lighting is easier to enhance
with a digital camera,'' she explained.
"In essence, photographs can be
captured with more ease with digital
cameras."
She acknowledged that the cost of
buying film and paying to develop
each and every photo is something of
the past. Her family was also relieved
when she “traded [her] smelly darkroom” for a home computer.
The digital era of photography
also allowed Kenny to develop and
master photo manipulation, and can
be regarded as a modern day ''Photoshop Michelangelo''.
She combines two, three or even
four of her own, original photographs to create one fine art graphic.
"For example, one time I photographed the moon from my kitchen
window and placed it as a background in a couple of my Photoshop
masterpieces. I call these images
altered reality photographs."
Kenny has won numerous awards
during her career as a photographer.
She received her Fellowship, a
Service Award and she won the Impala trophy twice, which is annually
awarded to the PSSA photographer
who has the highest number of photographs accepted at national salons.
All these awards were needed in
order for her to receive what she
called her “proudest achievement”.
She was also awarded the title of
Master Photographer of the PSSA.
Once she qualified for the title she
had to write a dissertation which she
presented at a national congress,
with an exhibition of her work.
Laetitia Kenny is a master
photographer, from Boksburg.
"Looking ahead, I would still like
to photograph the great wildebeest
migration in the Serengeti one day,
and I want to publish a photographic
book of children in Africa,'' she said.
"It will, however, not be images
that are depressing in nature, but
inspirational, rather."
Her advice to aspiring photographers is to learn your craft.
"Remember, photography requires
a lot of technical skills and that you
must learn your camera properly in
order to capture well exposed images
in all situations.
"You must be able to control your
camera, not the other way around,
and that is what happens if the camera is set to automatic mode."
Kenny invites all photography
enthusiasts to join the Boksburg
Camera Club, saying that “anybody
who has an interest in photography”
should join - from beginner to advanced, freelance to professional.
If you are interested in joining

‘Jurassic’ mentality a
threat to profitability
T
he future is not what
it used to be and it
should be treated in
such a way.
This is according to Dr
Bill Price, from Boksburg,
who is an International
Master Executive Global
Business Coach facilitator.
Price is also the national
moderator of Comensa
(Coaching and Mentoring South Africa), which
is a professional body for
coaches and mentors.
Chris van Biljon, CEO of
the Ekurhuleni Business Initiative, recently announced
that the business initiative
has appointed Price as its
strategic coach facilitator,
to ensure that they offer
the world’s best strategic
coaching service to business, government, industry
champions and CEOs and
their executive teams, in the
greater Ekurhuleni.
"Business is not easy
today and the busyness of
business is not enough to
achieve better and improved success anymore,"
said Price, who, as a coach,
has spent time overseeing
large business mergers and
acquisitions, CEO succession processes and board
assessments for efficiency
and effectiveness.
"Sadly, leadership and
management believe that
leaders need to attend more
MBA programmes and that
this will improve leadership.
"Scientific evidence
proves that courses and
training just amplify the
busyness of business and
there is very little new innovation and doing things
differently ideas that flow
from the present way of doing leading and managing
in business overall today.
"The world of customer
service is the new wave. We
live in a human to human
economy now.
"Customer loyalty and
engagement are now
Jurassic Park terms. It's all
about customer journey and
connection that will make
the difference in today's
economy.
"We need to look at what
causes our customers pain
and problems and then deal
with it. It should be how we
can be of service to customers, instead of merely our
products.
"Customers are looking
for their needs to be met
and they are looking at
convenience. Therefore,
marketing has to change,
selling has to adapt to
interpersonal relationship
models to survive and take
the business to a thriving
horizon.
“I wake up every weekday
to be a leadership guide
and coach. Like Sir Edmund Hillary had a guide,
Norgay, who, when Hillary
went back to London to
be knighted by the Queen,
Tenzing went down the
mountain to prepare to
take the next one up to the
summit. Just so I take leaders and their teams to their
summits in their lifetime."
Price said it is time for
businesses to really think
wisely and to contemplate
a strategy for the way
forward.
"Businesses can grow by
looking at the now instead
of playing catch-up. Whatever has got you so far is not
enough to take you further.
"A success recipe for our
modern times is to think
out of the box, to step out of
the race, to swim at times
against the stream, to look
at options, to gain greater
insight and to take time out;
therefore, make an appointment for yourself so that
you may grow.
"We are dealing with the
art of creativity and innovation. The means to get away
from the current fishing
waters and head to a place
where you can become
incontestable.
"Therefore, change your
view and perception. Create
new ways of creating things.
Simply put, the future is not
what it used to be. Success
of companies rests in thinking differently.
"At the end of the day,
we have to start thinking
beyond mundane thinking,
which causes numbness,
which is a big killer. It kills
us emotionally, intellectu-
ally, creatively, we just
become immune to life
around us.
"Numbness causes us to
remain at the same fishing
waters instead of finding
better waters.
"Scary thing is a lot of
people and companies run
on auto pilot. Businesses
are satisfied with just making target and so we learn in
our numbness our own PR
that we are the best.
"If you look around you,
people are living in a mode
of chaos and stress, this
then leads to survival mode.
And many stay in survival
mode until they reinvent
themselves. This world
demands repositioning
yourself in order to get out
of the numbness.
"It is also Jurassic Park to
measure your progress on
past figures and achievements. You learn nothing
from the past. It just bring
us back into a state of crisis
as we never learn the cause
of the problem and commit
to finding a solution.
"This therefore calls for
innovative thinking and

He also said we, as businesses, need to look for market

The Minister went on to say

industries, finance and government, along with personal
services. Sectors shrinking,
though, are agriculture, mining and manufacturing.
I took heart in the fact that
the Minister challenged the
presidents of SA's Chambers of
Commerce to take the message back to their constituencies, that they should become
known as the generation
that took the South African
economy forward.
There was also a rousing
address by Kemm on nuclear
energy in South Africa.
He addressed a number of
untruths and rumours that are
floating around in the media
and public domain, regarding
nuclear power and the government's nuclear programme,
which is only months, or even
weeks, away from being given
the go-ahead.

of the Boksburg Lions Club.
Caring for the needy
Fanie Mthupha
Faniem@caxton.co.za
T
he Boksburg Lions Club
has reappointed James van
Heerden for a second term
as president of the organisation.
He was inducted during the
Lions’ 48th annual presidential
induction ceremony held at the
president’s house in Benoni.
Van Heerden was appointed in
the same position in 2015, taking
over from the outgoing Lions’
president, Hannelie van der
Merwe.
His vision of the company's
future included growing and improving the organisation in order
to render the best of service to the
community.
According to van Heerden, the
organisation managed to achieve
its series of goals by the end of
the 2015 term.
Their plans for this term
include forming a new club in
Vosloorus and making sure that
people who suffer from sight
defects receive the necessary
spectacles.
“Our plans for this year include
intensifying our outreach to the
communities, and making sure
that people who can’t see and
lack basic needs receive help
through our initiatives,” said van
Heerden.
Van Heerden has been a member of the Boksburg Lions Club
for the past 33 years, and is now
serving as president for the fourth
time.
He served as president of the
Boksburg Lions Club in 1993,
1999 and 2015 and also as the
Zone Six Lions chairperson.
He told the Advertiser that he
joined the club years ago because
he always wanted to bring change
to other people’s lives, in particular needy children, people with
disabilities and elderly people.
Van Heerden matriculated at
Capricorn High School, in Polokwane, and studied aeronautical
engineering at Atlas Aircraft. He
also studied polymers and worked
in the plastics industry, before he
recently retired.
Van Heerden is happily married
to Anke and they will be marking
their 37th wedding anniversary in
August.
Internationally, the Lions organisation has been in existence
for 99 years.
It consists of more than 1.4 million members and has been growing from strength to strength.
He encouraged more people to
join the club, especially the youth.
Anyone interested in joining
the club may phone van Heerden

Barry van Niekerk, owner and directer of Legacy Films, is a Boksburg local.
Boksburg reeling in location scouts
B
oksburg has become the new
hot spot for location scouts
to shoot advertisements,
television programmes and films.
On July 5, a one-day shoot took
place at the prestigious Monte
Christo security estate to film a
television advertisement for sunflower cooking oil.
The filming kicked off bright
and early around 5.30am. The
project was led by Legacy Films
whose owner and director, Barry
van Niekerk, is a Boksburg local.
A crew of approximately 50
was working on the project.
The commercial was van
Niekerk’s first shoot in Boksburg,
but he has done many shoots on
other locations around Johannesburg and in various film studios.
When asked why he decided to
shoot the commercial in Boksburg, van Niekerk said he knew
that the house in the estate had
the interior decor suitable for the
commercial.
He also said that the South
African film industry is familiar
with what is available, such as the
northern suburbs of Johannesburg. He argued that people don’t
visit the East Rand, the locations
are often never seen before and
that it “is amazing [for them] to
be in this part of the world”.
He also said that he would love
to shoot all of his projects on the
East Rand, including Boksburg.
The commercial will be aired on
eTV only, from July 20 for three
months.
* This is not the first time
Boksburg’s scenery served as a
film set.
In 2014, director Neill Blomkamp came to Boksburg to shoot
a scene from the movie Chappie.
The film starred Die Antwoord’s
Yolandi Visser as well as international film stars Sharlto Copley
and Hugh Jackman.
Later, in 2014, the popular
morning show, Ontbytsake, also
visited Boksburg for a shoot.

OPINION | www.boksburgadvertiser.co.za
...
The day of
the tornado
In the
thick of
things
by Maile Matsimela
T
uesday, July 26, was
an extremely cold day
throughout Gauteng
but little did we know that
it was going to end the
way it did, particularly in
Tembisa.
Being a Tembisan
(Hospital View) resident
myself, I received during
that fateful day numerous
messages on my phone
from Ekurhuleni Metro
warning of severe weather
conditions that might occur
throughout the day.
But I just thought "Argh,
they probably mean the
cold because it was already
cold anyway," so I couldn't
be bothered to find out
more - my solution was just
to keep warm!
I got home just before
4pm on the said day and
soon after arriving, rain
started pouring down, worsening the cold weather.
Just then I heard what
sounded like stones pelting
down on the roof of my
home.
I went out to investigate
and realised it was hail - it
continued for about 10
minutes and stopped.
We all (me and my neighbours) went out to check if
there was any damage.
As we were still outside
adoring the beautiful white
melting stones, it suddenly
got darker and darker.
That was when we noticed
the impending doom: a
swirling dark cloud appearing from the north which
threatened to engulf us.
A mere kilometre or
so from where I stood, I
witnessed the tornado form
and touch down, causing
widespread havoc at the
Phumlani Mall.
I watched in horror as it
appeared to be consuming
everything in its path.
It made all kinds of
noises, almost like rattling
sounds. It was dark, powerful and travelled at a high
speed and grew thicker.
We soon learnt that it
was a whirlwind on steroids. "It's a tornado," we
all said.
After all, this is something that happens in
regions in America, not
Tembisa.
The screaming wind kept
heading in our direction.
I live some 400m to
500m away from Tembisa
Hospital and witnessed as
this fierce monster struck
the medical facility as
objects flew high into the
sky. All the while my senses
were assaulted by this
beast.
As we were watching,
extraordinarily huge hail
stones thundered from the
Your Views
heavens, forcing us back
inside as we sought shelter
in the hope that we not be
swallowed alive.
In seven minutes everything was over. An eerie
stillness returned only to be
interrupted by the blaring
sirens of the emergency
services.
The rest is history.
The freak tornado had
wreaked havoc in Tembisa
with over 150 houses left in
ruin in a matter of minutes.
The Phumlani Mall roof
had been destroyed, while
the outside buildings at
the Tembisa Hospital and
ambulances all suffered
damage and the nearby petrol garage was torn apart.
Indeed, what a freaky
and strange day, reminding
us that anything is possible
in this rainbow nation, or is
that soon to be a nation of
tornadoes?
Local deaf boy
appeals for help
Dylan Scholtz (7) tells
his story:
Good day. I'm deaf. I
have a sister named Abby
(4) and a brother named
Nicholus (2).
Five months ago, our father was brutally assaulted
at a nightclub. He is now
suffering traumatic brain
injury, in simple terms,
severe brain damage.
Unlike you and me, he is
unable to perform everyday basic things - like bathing and dressing himself or
even going to the toilet by
himself.
He requires 24-hour
care.
He was our hero, no
matter how tired he was
coming home after a hard,
physical day's work, he
always made time to play
with us and satisfy our
needs before attending to
his own.
Since his injury, he has
missed all three of our
birthdays.
Every morning without
fail, he would drop me
at my school bus pick-up
point at 6.30am and collect
me in the evenings between 6pm and 6.30pm.
I attend St. Vincent
School for the Deaf in
Rosebank and this traumatic incident has left
myself, my siblings and my
mother stranded.
My mother has always
been a housewife - my dad
was the breadwinner.
After the incident, we
have had to move in with
my grandparents and our
sister now lives with our
other Ouma and Oupa on
my father's side.
Boksburg boy Dylan
Scholtz (7) appeals for
help from the public.
We hardly get to see her
as my mother does not
have a car of her own.
We miss our dad and this
tragic event has left us all
emotionally shattered - our
future is unknown and we
are scared and afraid.
Will our father ever recover? Will he ever take us
fishing again? Will he ever
slide with us at the park?
I'm appealing to the
public to assist me and my
family in these dark days of
our lives.
Anybody who would be
so kind to sponsor us with
clothing, groceries and
more, is welcome.
Is there anybody who
can help?
We will be most grateful.

grandmother on 011 922

Great success for St Dominic’s netball
S
t Dominic’s has enjoyed a
successful netball season this
year.
They participated in league
matches, as well as tournaments
around Gauteng.
The u-13A team competed in the
Inter-Catholic Tournament held at
Sacred Heart and were undefeated,
achieving first place.
The girls were also the champions in the Inter-Dominican Tournament at Veritas College. This
tournament includes Dominican
schools from Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the Free State.
The league results were just as
impressive.
St Dominic’s teams all finished
in the top three schools in their
district pool.
The A teams finishing in the top
two teams were invited to the District Championship Finals.
The u-10A and u-12A teams were
cordially invited and did St Dominic’s proud.
After a riveting match versus
Beaulieu, the u-12A team won by
one goal and made it through to the
Inter-Dominican netball teams (includes senior first team, u-15A, u-13A and u-11A teams).
next round.
The girls fought tooth and nail
in another tight game against
Holy Rosary, losing by one goal,
as the whistle blew just before the
shooter’s ball had left her hand.
St Dominic’s was elated with the
performance of its players.
The u-10A team played like real
champions, winning all games
but one, which pushed the players
through to the final round.
In this nail-biting last match
against Redhill, the girls competed
for third place in the Gauteng Private Schools’ District.
They won with a convincing 13-5
victory and held their heads high as
they collected their bronze medals
in the prize-giving.

Case of rabies reported;
vaccinate your animal
The impact of the leaks is evident.
What a terrible waste
W
hat was initially thought
to be a natural fountain
turned out to be numerous leakages in the main supply
water pipe that runs through
Parkrand Village next to the N17.
According to the complainant,
who wishes to remain anonymous,
within a distance of 130m the
mentioned pipe has about four
leakages.
This has apparently been ongoing for the past two years, causing
poor water pressure in the surrounding areas.
“The whole pipe is rusted and
over a million litres of fresh water
is being wasted,” said the complainant.
Reeds taller than a metre have
been growing in the wet areas
around the leakages and now also
serve as a hiding place for criminals.
“It is like a swamp. Moss is
growing in the still-standing water
and it stinks,” he said.
The complainant says this could
be a health risk, as well as an
ecological problem, because the
contaminated water is flowing
through the main supply water
pipe to a dam in Sunward Village
where geese have made themselves at home.
In an attempt to repair the pipe,
contractors were on site on June
11.
However, they allegedly only
dug a hole and left the job unfinished.
“They said that they would
return, but never did,” said the
complainant.
“It is as if the Ekurhuleni Metro
does not want to help.”
According to the metro spokesperson, Themba Gadebe, the pipe
in question has not been leaking
for the past two years.
“It’s a 450mm steel pipe and a
leak was repaired recently. Smaller
pinhole leaks were detected and
this could not be repaired with
clamps only,” said Gadebe.
He added that the metro has appointed a contractor to replace the
steel pipe with a plastic pipe that
can withstand wear and tear.
“Work will commence soon as
material and way leaves are in
place as water cannot be turned
off for an indefinite time,” said
Gadebe.
“Work is planned to commence
not later than August 10.”

The Boksburg SPCA have had no
choice but to charge a R10 fee per
animal for a vaccination against
rabies.
This is due to the extremely high
volume of owners taking their
animals to the SPCA for vaccines,
following a warning issued by the
local SPCA regarding a confirmed
case of rabies in the area on July
27.
The cost will be cover the needles
being used.
The SPCA said they are currently running quite low on the
vaccine but more bottles have been
ordered.
"We wish to thank pet owners
for bringing animals in to be vaccinated and for taking this matter
seriously," wrote the SPCA on their
Facebook page.
"Rabies is one of the worst
zoonotic diseases around and all
warm-blooded animals (including
humans) can become infected.
"We thank you for your understanding in this matter,"
The Boksburg SPCA wrote on
their Facebook page regarding the
incident: "We wish to advise all pet
owners of Boksburg that there has
been a confirmed case of rabies in
Boksburg South. We ask that all
owners take their animals to either
their vets or to Boksburg SPCA for
vaccination against this disease.
"Rabies is an infectious disease
that spreads from animals to
humans.
“The rabies virus causes the disease by infecting nerves in animals
and people.
The rabies virus travels to the
brain (through nerves inside the
brain), the virus reproduces, and
then it travels back through the
nerves to most parts of the body.
Eventually, the virus reaches the
salivary glands where it is released
into the saliva in the mouth. By this
time, the disease has usually damaged the brain, sometimes producing violent behaviour. It eventually
causes death.
Pet Education.com shared the
following valuable information
about the disease:
Who is at risk?
People who work closely with
wildlife, veterinarians, and travellers are at the highest risk of
exposure. Fortunately, there is a
vaccine that is available to protect
high-risk people. Animals that
come into contact with wildlife and
are not vaccinated are at a higher
risk of infection. While the risk of
coming into contact with the virus
is very low, it nevertheless does
exist. Because of the movement of
carriers, there is always the risk of
exposure.
Transmission of the disease
The transmission of the disease
almost always occurs as a result of
an infected animal biting a noninfected animal. Skunks, raccoons,
foxes, coyotes and bats are the
animals most likely to transmit the
virus.
Rabies virus does not live very
long outside the host and remains
viable in the carcass of an infected
animal for less than 24 hours. The
rabies virus is shed at high levels
in saliva.
However, being bitten by a rabid
animal does not necessarily mean
that the bitten animal (or human)
will become infected. It has been
speculated that only around 15%
of exposed people will contract the
disease. Humans, cats and dogs
are only mildly susceptible to the
disease.
Symptoms
After coming in contact with the
virus, the bitten animal may go
through one or all of several stages.
With most animals, the virus will
spread through the nerves of the
bitten animal towards the brain.
The virus is relatively slow
moving and the average time of
incubation from exposure to brain
involvement is between three to
eight weeks in dogs, two to six
weeks in cats, and three to six
weeks in people.
However, incubation periods
as long as six months in dogs and
12 months in people have been
reported. After the virus reaches
the brain it then will move to the
salivary glands where it can be
spread through a bite.
After the virus reaches the brain
the animal will show one, two, or
all of the three different phases.
Camera enthusiasts get stuck into basics of photography
The Boksburg Camera Club has recently
experienced a large intake of enthusiastic new
members.
To bring them quickly up to speed, Steve
Koekemoer, the outings co-ordinator, arranged a Basics of Photography workshop
which was held on Saturday, July 23, at Baanbreker Laerskool.
He took them through the basic functions
that appear on most cameras, the use of different lens types, focus, aperture, speed and
ISO.
Lessons included composition, framing
and balance. He was assisted by Magda van
Vreden who gave a lecture on lead-in lines
and cropping.
There were a large number of props on
which the delegates were able to practise their
newly gained photographic knowledge.
The 16 delegates reportedly enjoyed this
six-hour workshop, with one attendee being
glad she understood the setting P on the camera did not stand for 'panic' but 'professional'.
For further information on the club, contact Percy Mitchell on 082 575 7401 or visit
the Boksburg Camera Club webpage at www.

reported them missing.
This is very important, as most of the

New local feeding project
needs your assistance
A new local NPO organisation,
the Boksburg Bread-Bin feeding
project, is planning to donate food
parcels on a regular basis to needy
children at Goud Rand Primary
School, to households earning
low incomes and elderly people in
Boksburg.
According to Kobus Uys, chairperson of this project, they will be
asking for assistance from the Department of Social Development
to assist in screening people in
need of food aid, to make sure that
disadvantaged people are helped.
"Extra food donations will also
be redistributed to other NPO
organisations, churches and NPO
crèches who are also in need of
assistance," said Uys.
"The project will also assist unemployed people in their organisation to earn an income through
street collections.
"We are also looking to help the
unemployed to start their own
projects or home-based businesses, to uplift their lives. This
will be done through the Foundation for the Development of Africa
and the Department of Trade and
Industry."
Anyone who would like to offer
food donations, furniture, appliances and clothing are urged to
contact Uys on 074 420 6494.

Don't catch 'em all while driving
Volvo's updated V40 range
> JUSTIN JACOBS
I
n a market ruled by many a German hatchback
there are other brands that offer something a
little different. Take Volvo for example, more
specifically the V40, the Swede’s premium
hatchback. It has been hiding in the shadow of
the Volkswagen Golf, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and
the BMW 1-Series for far too long and I could not
work out why.
6R,ÁHZWR&DSH7RZQWRVDPSOHWKHXSGDWHG
9DQGÀQGRXWZKDWLWKDVWRRIIHU
Parked outside a quaint little arty restaurant,
along a bustling street somewhere in the CBD, stood
three of Volvo’s updated V40s. A Cross Country, an
R-Design and a standard model graced the street
with their presence. One thing I couldn’t help notice
was how all three cars blended into the vibrant,
artistic atmosphere in which they found themselves.
ȹ TIME TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
As the cars sat there I struggled to identify any
radical changes in the new model. It was only once
I took a closer look that I noticed some differences.
For starters, the grille has been redesigned and
features a vertical design for a more classic look;
however, on the R-Design models the grille appears
to incorporate a sportier look. Mounted in the centre
of the grille is the brand’s iron mark badge, which

One of the more prominent updates comes in the
form of the LED day-time running lights which, like
WKH;&IHDWXUHZKDW9ROYRFDOOV¶7KRU·V+DPPHU·
The look is eye-catching and it brings the car in line
with the brand’s new generation of models. I also
noticed that the cars on offer featured some new,
VWULNLQJZKHHOGHVLJQVWRVXLWFXVWRPHUV·VSHFLÀF
desires.
ȹ SWEDISH HOSPITALITY
Inside the V40, one could be forgiven for missing

uplift the car’s cabin ever so slightly. Keeping with
WKHDUWLVWLFDSSHDORIWKHFDUWKHEUDQG·VÁRDWLQJ
centre stack can now be enhanced by one of the
various decor panels available for a more modern
feel.
Customers can also choose from an array of
LQWHULRUFRORXUVFKHPHV,DPGHÀQLWHO\DIDQRIWKH
City Weave, which sees a blond/charcoal interior
matched with a unique tweed-like textile pattern
on the seats, and a two-tone blonde/charcoal
steering wheel.
As for practicality, well, the V40 tends to come
across as a shortened station wagon rather than
DKDWFKEDFN,RSHQHGWKHUHDUWDLOJDWHWRÀQGD
sizeable boot, and the rear head and leg room for
passengers is also impressive.
ȹ SOMETHING FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
The V40 also comes in Cross Country guise.
The Cross Country features a slightly higher ride
height than the city slicker, 12mm to be exact. It
also has some added bits to enhance its crossover
characteristics, like roof rails, black bumper
cladding and some slightly bolder nose treatment.
The Cross Country will be great for those looking
to head out to those isolated cycling routes. My
ride in the Cross Country did feel softer over some
rather bumpy roads.
ȹ ABOUT THE RIDE
The updated V40 also features a range of new
engines, known as Drive-E, which includes both
turbocharged petrol and diesel engines. I drove
the V40 D4 R-Design, which makes use of a
140kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine. Add
to the mix a smooth shifting eight-speed gearbox
and the results are impressive.

department as well.
I also drove the T5 Cross Country model, which
featured a powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol
unit that develops 180kW and 350Nm. This
model has AWD to deal with some of those tough
conditions. It’s also a hoot through the corners
and, as with the D4, it features an eight-speed
automatic gearbox.
ȹ VOLVO SAFETY
I guess it’s worth mentioning that the V40
LV MDPSDFNHG ZLWK VDIHW\ IHDWXUHV 6RPH DUH
optional but the cars that I drove all featured
blind-spot assist, lane-keep assist as well as ACC
(Active Cruise Control), which I feel are all a musthave. We as South Africans need as much help as
possible to keep us safe on our roads. Blind-spot
assist has helped me numerous times for those

ȹ ADJÖ (SWEDISH FOR GOODBYE)
After spending some time behind the wheel of
the updated Volvo V40, I still can’t see why it is not
as popular as the German offerings. It is, according
to Volvo, the safest model in the segment; it looks
good and offers a fresh and vibrant feel, but I think
that it could do with some techno enhancements
like a touch screen and a simpler control unit. While
sitting on the plane heading home I had time to
think about which model stood out for me the most
and it was the D4 R-Design. Sure you could take it
without the sports kit – the main attraction for me
was undoubtedly that diesel engine.

The SLC isn’t an all-new car, but rather a facelift,
with a new range structure and updates. The

Don’t catch ‘em all while driving
' Experts say it takes more concentration than even talking on a
phone or sending a text message while driving. In addition to low
concentration levels, drivers are reported to be driving recklessly
if they suddenly catch sight of a rare Pokémon.'
- Sean Nurse
Pokémon Go is a global phenomenon, the app
has overtaken most mobile-based applications
on the market in a matter of weeks. For those of
you unfamiliar of what it is, I’ll sum it up for you in
very basic terms, however, it is quite complex so I
suggest you read up on it if you want to become
more familiarised. The Pokémon Go app is
basically an augmented reality game where users,
using the GPS and camera in their phone, go out
and look for Pokémon to catch throughout the
country. Once you have captured a Pokémon,
you can train it, battle with it and of course as the
slogan for Pokémon suggests, you “Gotta Catch
‘Em All.”
Despite the fact that it isn’t even in South Africa
ofcially yet, we have seen and heard of thousands
of local users. Some praise the app for promoting
exercise while others say it’s dangerous and can
cause people to lose focus during critical moments.
I am sure that both sides of the argument agree
though, that this app should not be used while
driving a vehicle. I roped in a local road-safety expert
to give us his take on the Poké-phenomenon when
it comes to driving.
The MD of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says
following a number of dangerous incidents in the
US, the National Safety Council is calling for players
to consider safety over high scores, before a life
is lost. “Along with pedestrians distracted by their
quest to nd rare Pokémons, agencies are also
warning about distracted driving resulting from
playing the game, where consequences will be
even more serious."
“While the game is intended to be fun, there
can be tragic real-world consequences if you’re
playing it while driving or while crossing the street.
Even though we haven’t seen any evidence of this
in South Africa yet, it is only a matter of time before
a driver is tempted. Don’t be tempted, don’t POKE
and drive,” says Herbert.
Even if passengers spot a Pokémon, rather
safely pull over before acting on it. If you cannot
safely pull over, better luck next time.
The danger is not just limited to drivers but
pedestrians as well. Soon after the game was
launched, a US teen was killed when he stepped
onto a highway while playing. As a pedestrian, do
not play where reduced concentration levels could
endanger you. Conversely, drivers need to be extra
vigilant and employ defensive driving to see a
problem before it happens.
“We have more than enough evidence to prove
distracted driving and walking, are incredibly
dangerous. If drivers can miss seeing up to 50
percent of what is around them while talking on
a phone, imagine how little they see while playing
Pokémon Go. “Don’t become part of statistics which
estimate up to 26 percent of crashes occur while
drivers are using their cellphones,” says Herbert.

tweaks to these sections and finetuning the other five stages of the
race to make it a little less intense,”
says Collett.
But don’t be fooled, she adds. “It
still won’t be a walk in the park, so
riders can still expect a helluva challenge with all the amazing scenery,
fine dining and creature comforts
competitors have come to expect
from the TransCape!”
While it will provide a stern but fair
challenge for pro riders, dedicated
amateur mountain bikers will also
find it achievable, with every finisher
sure to leave with a true sense of accomplishment.
The seven-day event, open to individual riders and teams of two cyclists
(men’s/women’s/mixed), will see the
field taken on a classic route from
Knysna to George on day one, then
onto Calitzdorp on day two before
heading to Riversdal on day three.
Stage four will see the group of
riders tackle the tweaked route from
Riversdal to Swellendam before the
intrepid field heads to Greyton on day
five with the next stop Villiersdorp on
the penultimate day. On the final day

he date for the third edition of
the TransCape MTB Cycle Race
has been confirmed for February 5 to 11, 2017.
Mountain bike enthusiasts are
urged to get their entries in for this
exclusive event as soon as possible,
to avoid missing out on a cycling
experience of a lifetime. According
to race owner Lenore Collett, the
seven-stage event will, as in the past
two years, take competitors along
a challenging 750km route from
Knysna to Franschhoek, but with a
few changes to certain stages of the
race, from previous years.
Boksburg mountain biker Robert
Rostoll rode for 38 hours in this
year’s TransCape MTB race.
Rostoll, along with his Team
Speztic teammate Albert van der
Berg, completed the gruelling race in
exactly 38:00:37 hours, good enough
for seventh in the men’s teams and
17th overall.
“We listened to the riders' comments from the first two races who
found stage two, from George to
Calitzdorp, and stage four from Riversdal to Swellendam, particularly
tough so with this in mind our route

Following a slow start, Ness (left) recovered for the win.
Ness outpoints Mthembu in title fight
and damaging blows.
He had Mthembu in trouble
against the ropes and referee
Thabo Spampool could’ve decided to stop the fight and spare
Mthembu from being further
pummelled but the hard challenger refused to back down and
survived another onslaught.
Mthembu drew inspiration
from his stamina’s reserve tank
and still had enough to give the
champion a scare in rounds 10
and 11. Undoubtedly the aggressor in this late period, Mthembu
had the tired champion in big
trouble in round 11 with a series
of unanswered strikes and it was
again the bell which came to the
champion’s rescue this time.
The champion improved
his record to 10-1-2; 5 while
Mthembu dropped to 5-4-1; 4.
In the afternoon’s penultimate bout, Dee-Jay Kriel
survived a couple of knockdowns before coming back to
earn a TKO win in the seventh
in an equally contested eightround catchweight battle with
Nyelisani Thagambega.
Elsewhere, Thulani Mbenge
maintained his perfect record as
he gave Zenzile Mtanze a boxing
lesson in their welterweight
clash scheduled six rounds.
Mbenge easily won via TKO in
the first to improve his record to
7-0-0. Watch this space.

A welterweight champion
Shaun Ness was made to
work hard for his unanimous decision win over Ayanda
Mthembu to retain his title in
a bloody slugfest at Emperors
Palace on Sunday, July 24.
The tournament, dubbed
‘Prospects at the Palace III’ was
presented by Golden Gloves
in conjunction with Emperors
Palace and SuperSport.
Both pugilists gave onlookers a fight to remember for a
long time to come as they both
refused to lose before the fight
went the distance.
Judge Wally Snowball scored
the fight 117-113 and judges
Joe Chaane and Simon Mokadi
scored it 115-114 and 117-111
respectively, all in favour of the
champion.
Either fighter could have won
the fight at different stages of
the bout.
Mthembu made a flying start
and surprised the champion
with an effective combination of
blows. The challenger maintained the pressure for the next
three rounds with Ness having a
slow start.
The champion then began to
pick up the pace and his measured, accurate, more educated
and devastating punches that
left Mthembu’s face a bleeding
wreck were a pleasure to watch.
Ness continued as the aggressor with rounds six to eight
being his best. He had Mthembu
under the cosh in the sixth but
the challenger was saved by the
round interval bell.
Mthembu enjoyed another
good start in the eighth but his
tired punches did minimal damage to Ness. The champion assumed the ascendency midway
through the round with hard

Brakpan beats
outclassed
Boksburg
Brakpan put 61 points past Boksburg,
in a Valke Peregrine Rugby League
last round robin fixture, in Brakpan,
on Friday, July 22.
Kicker PJ Beukes and Markus
Leonard scored the Owls’ two tries on
the night, with the former converting
both and slotting an additional two
penalties.
“We had a tough game, with six guys
out due to being sick,” commented
Boksburg coach Marcell Fourie.
“Brakpan is a great team so we did
struggle.”
The result meant that the Owls
finished fourth on the league table,
qualifying for the play-offs, behind
Vereeniging, Springs and leaders
Brakpan.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Boksburg forward Eduardo Cassonga (battling for possession) and co as Union enjoyed the lion’s
share of possession throughout the game.

ous whenever forward Ndumiso
Selepe was in possession on the
right flank. The skilful attacker
produced a neat run down the
right which culminated in Kagisano Seforo being presented with
a good chance to register his side
on the scoreboard but he shot his
effort straight into the goalkeeper’s hands.
Union were having a field day
down Boksburg’s left flank and
an attack from that very side from
a recycled ball from their keeper
resulted in a corner.
Blues fullback Alex Daniel made
a vital interception as he deflected
a rebound shot on to the crossbar
from the resulting corner.
With the half nearing its end,
the Blues created an eye-catching
build-up as they enjoyed a rare
spell of possession.
No 2 found himself in space in
front of goal moments later but
also shot straight to the keeper
from a tight angle.
The game’s pattern continued
into the second and the visitors
added three more goals for the
handsome win.

Owls halfback Dirkie Burger.
oksburg Football Club ELFA
Super League rivals Union
scored three goals in either
half for a 6-0 win over the local
side.
The lopsided fixture took place
at the Boksburg City Stadium on
Saturday, July 23.
The visitors had the all but won
the game in the first half with their
three goals and a bevy of missed
chances which could have seen the
scoreboard reading worse for the
Blues.
It was all Union from the start
and it did not take long until their
superiority was apparent as they
gave themselves an early cushion
with two goals.
The visitors kept up the pressure and should have extended
their lead halfway through the first
stanza as they hit the same upright
in a space of five minutes.
The wave of attack continued
and the visitors grabbed their
third just moments after hitting
the upright.
Boksburg looked most danger-
A few athletes of Team SA
paraded the streets of Reiger
Park with the community on
Saturday, July 23, before jetting off to Brazil for the 2016
Rio Olympic Games.
The games kick off on Friday, August 5, and run until
Sunday, August 21.
The parade, which was
officially opened by Gauteng
Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation MEC Faith Mazibuko, offered the Reiger Park
community the opportunity
to meet their heroes.
Local fans got to take
pictures with the likes of
footballers Rivaldo Coetzee,
Abubakar Mobara and charismatic long-jumper Luvo
Monyonga, who also led the
team with his impressive
dancing skills.
Having finished in overall
23rd position on the medals
tally in the last Olympics, in
London, with six medals three gold, two silver and a
single bronze - Team 2016
will be looking to improve on
that total.
Meanwhile, 400m world
champion Wayde van
Niekerk was named Team SA
flag-bearer for the opening
ceremony, in an announcement recently made at the
team’s send-off, at Emperors
Palace.
The 2016 Rio Olympics
also mark the debut of
Rugby Sevens and golf.
A total of 137 athletes will
be representing and defending the nation’s flag at the
Games.
