Aspine chilling rumour

covered in thin veil of theresurgence of xenophobic

attacks on foreign nationals isplaying itself out in the townshipsnorth of the City of Tshwane. Therumour is alleged to be warningAfrican foreigners especially thosefrom Mozambique to “leave SouthAfrica before former PresidentNelson Mandela passes onotherwise they will be dealt withharshly”.

In the wake of the rumour about200 shops owned by Somalis orPakistanis in Tshwane North werelooted by locals in a period of lessthan a month. A mob of youngpeople broke into various Pakistaniand Somali owned businesses inareas such as Hammanskraal, NewEersterus, Winterveldt andSohanguve Blocks HH, JJ, LL, W,P, Y, l and K. The mobs then lootedthe businesses leaving the ownerswith nothing but the clothes on theirbacks. Most of the shops have sincebeing closed.

Somali business owner, Mr.Raja Zufiqar, who owns a numbero f s h o p s i n S o s h a n g u v e ,Hammanskraal and Winterveldt,said a group of rowdy youngsters intheir 20s broke into his shop andassaulted his assistant. “They calledhim 'lekula' and warned that heneeded to leave the area beforeMandela dies or else they woulddeal with him permanently.Fortunately he managed to escapefrom the shop leaving the boys busylooting. My man closed the securitygate which automatically lockedfifteen of those boys inside hisshop,” said Zifiquar

The Somali businessmanalleged that every time he tried toopen a criminal case against locals,all the police seem to care about isthe victim's identity document andnot the looted shop and not theactual crime. He said since theattacks started on businesses ownedby Somalis or Pakistanis he has lostan estimated total of over R 100 000in cash and stock.

Zifiquar further alleged; “Whenthe police arrived at the scene therewere about 15 guys inside the shop.To our surprise when they openedthe door the police just stood therewatching the guys leaving the shopwith bits of our stock withoutarresting them. When I tried to askthem why they were not arrestingthe looters, they ignored him andstarted asking him if I he had a validbusiness operating permit and visato be in the country.

“When I arrived at the shop the

policemen were still arguing withmy shop assistant about thebusiness licence. I tried to assurethem that I have valid documents totrade in the country and gave themmy lawyer's phone numbers, butthey kept on telling me to take mystock and leave the area as theycould not guarantee our safety,”said Zafiquar.

He said the police arrested hisshop assistant and left with himwithout giving him the opportunityto close the shop leaving it wideopen and released him on a fine of R500.

The Somali and Pakistanibusiness community in the affectedareas have pointed out to have lostfaith in the police. They have alsoaccused the police of dragging theirfeet every time they have to assistthem. Some have gone as far asalleging that the police are

condoning the violence andcriminal acts they are subjected to.Ironically some of the Somali andPakistani businesses were lootedand forced to close down on formerpresident Nelson Mandela'sbirthday.

The convener of councillors inS o s h a n g u v e M r. P h u m z i l eHlatswayo slammed the looting ofshops and labelled it pure criminalacts that have no place in thecountry.

“As the African NationalCongress we do not condone suchattacks. We have one of the mostliberal constitutions in the worldthat allows everyone with validdocument to trade in the country,without any intimidation,” saidHlatswayo.

N e w E e r t s t e r u s w a r dCouncillor; Mr Jojo Mogale,reprimanded community membersagainst attacking foreigners. Hesaid it was wrong and undemocraticto attack foreigners.

Rietgat Police Spokesperson,Warrant Officer Lolo Mangena said

that the police were aware of theallegation made by foreign shopowners against the police.“Investigations into the allegationsmade are underway. The SouthAfrican Police Services is there foranyone who needs help so let thoseaffected in anyway by suchmisconduct by some of our officersrest assure as we will leave no stoneunturned”. Mangena added that thepolice were currently investigatingover 20 cases of looting of shopsowned by foreigners and will soonmake arrests as investigations are ata satisfactory stage.

L o a t e P o l i c e s t a t i o nspokesperson Warrant Officer, LivyRamatlo, said the police are on thelookout for a Somali business manfacing charges of attempted murderafter he shot and wounded a looterat his shop.

Ramatlo confirmed that therehave been reported cases of lootingSomali and Pakistan owned shopsin Winterveldt and no arrests havebeen made as yet and investigationsare conducted.

Nelson Mandela's birthdayis on 18 July, and the calli s o u t f o r p e o p l e

everywhere to celebrate hisbirthday by acting on the idea thateach person has the power tochange the world.

The idea of Mandela Day wasinspired by Nelson Mandela athis 90th birthday celebrations inLondon's Hyde Park in 2008when he said: "It is time for newhands to lift the burdens. It is inyour hands now."

The United Nations officiallydeclared 18 July as NelsonMandela International Day inNovember 2009, recognisingMandela's "values and hisdedication to the service ofhumanity" and acknowledginghis contribution "to the strugglefor democracy internationallyand the promotion of a culture ofpeace throughout the world".

The celebration of MandelaDay aims to serve as a global callto action for people to "recognisetheir individual power to make animprint and help change theworld around them for thebetter", says the Nelson MandelaFoundation.

"Nelson Mandela has beenmaking an imprint on the worldfor 67 years, beginning in 1942when he first started to campaignfor the human rights of everySouth African. His life has beenan inspiration to the world," thefoundation said.

By devoting 67 minutes of theirtime – one minute for every year ofMandela's public service – peoplecan make a small gesture ofsolidarity with humanity and a steptowards a global movement forgood.

Morula celebrated this day bycleaning, painting and plantingtrees at these institutes,

in MABOPANE next toMabopane Railways station at theIndustrial Park, this place is alsoour CSI flagship / main project andthe other institution was

Education

By Tshepo Marutha

As part of Nelson Madela'sbirthday celebration one ofthe global leading car

manufacturing company inconjunction with the NelsonMandela Children's Foundationdonated two mobile libraries toBoikanyo and Refithile-PelePrimary Schools in Garankuwaand Soshanguve respectively.

This comes after the proceedsin the auctioning of Madiba'sarmoured vehicle, donated to himby the Bavarian motor companyfor his use during his 46664HIV/AIDS campaign, were used tobuy libraries for the schools.

Springbok players, Chilliboy

Rallepelle, Pierre Spies and VictorMatfield and 46664 Ambassador/actress, HlubiMboya, took time offtheir hectic schedules to attend theevent.

Using Mandela's famousquote, the car manufacturingG e n e r a l M a n g e r o fCommunications and PublicAffairs, Mr. Guy Kilfoil, said,“Education is the most powerfulweapon which you can use tochange the world.”

“ As a dedicated and engagedcorporate citizen we have heededthis call by contributing to theLibrary Programme. As a result,two disadvantaged schools arereceiving container librariesstocked with over 2500 books,”

said Kilfoil.Mandela's car was bought by

an avid SouthAfrican car collector,who wishes to remain anonymous.It has now been loaned by theowner of Franschhoek MotorMuseum, where it is on indefinitedisplay.

“It is important that we balancethe preservation of historysurrounding the car with thecommercial reality of funding thenext phase of the BANGLEMandela Day School Libraryproject. We are ecstatic that the carhas found a home in a museum inSouth Africa,” said Robert Coutts,CEO of the 46664 BANGLEInitiatives.

Once a claim for injury compensationhas been made, it is important that it isfinalized or paid as quickly aspossible. The difference between aclaim that is processed timeously andone that is delayed lies in howreporting is handled. Reporting ofaccidents and processing of claimshas a practical bearing on payment ofmedical expenses and compensation.One of the major causes of delays inthe processing of claims is poor orincorrect spelling of the employer oremployee's name. It is thereforeimportant that all forms are filled out

correctly and with care.It is for this reason that those

involved in the injury communicationchain knows what they have to do forclaims to be finalized. This article setsout the clear roles that everyone fromthe employee to the employer, doctorand the Compensation Commissionerhave to play to help to speed upf i n a l i z a t i o n o r p a y m e n t o fcompensation. It is important thatemployers should not wait for fulldocumentation before reporting anaccident as this wastes valuableprocessing time.

It is important to point out that theonus is on the employee to ensure thatthey do not sit back and wait forothers to drive their finalization oftheir claim for compensation. Theemployee must get involved at theoutset and know every aspect of theirclaim and resist the temptation to letothers take responsibility for it.Similarly the employer has to reportthe accident to the CompensationCommissioner. Regret tably,statistics show that it takes employersan average of over 74 days to reportaccidents to the Compensation

Commissioner. This clearly leads tounnecessary delays in the processingand finalization of claims.

Once the communication protocolis in place, it is easier to avoid the kindof bottlenecks that can delay theprocessing of a claim. Clarity ofcommunication is therefore one ofmost vital aspects from the momentan accident occurs. Both theemployee and employer have a role top l a y t o e n s u r e a s m o o t hcommunication process, but wherethere is a failure, the process providesfor remedies.

As soon as an accidenthas taken place, theemployee should reportthe accident to theemployer either in writingor verbally. Failure toreport or provide thee m p l o y e r o rC o m p e n s a t i o nC o m m i s s i o n e r w i t hnotice of the accidentwithin 12 months from thedate of accident results inthe employee forfeitingh i s / h e r r i g h t t ocompensation. Simplyp u t , n o c l a i m f o rcompensation will beconsidered if the accidentwas not reported within12 months. See section38 of the COID Act andalso (Section 44).

The employee needsto obtain First MedicalReport (W.Cl. 4) from thedoctor treating them. Thisi s because med ica levidence plays a crucialrole when liability for thepayment of compensationand medical expenses isconsidered. It must beremembered that in termsof the act, the definition ofan “accident” indicatesthat an employee, whoclaims to be injured ond u t y, s h o u l d h a v esustained a “personalinjury or illness”. In linewith this, the treatingdoctor has to describe thepersonal injury or illness.

Ongoing medica lreports play an importantrole in the case of long-term treatment for injury.In those cases where anemployee is receivingp r o l o n g e d m e d i c a ltreatment and is off dutyas a result of injuriessustained in an accident,progress medical reportsshould be submitted on amonthly basis to theC o m p e n s a t i o nCommissioner. This is toensure that compensationin respect of temporarytotal disablement is paidtimeously.

A Fina l Medica lReport (W.Cl. 5) - shouldbe submitted as soon asthe employee's conditionhas become stabilized. Atthis point, the doctor mayhave to describe anyinab i l i ty or has toimpairment of function asa result of the accident.These reports enable theCommissioner to assesspermanent disablement, ifany.

The employer i sobliged to report theaccident, but should theemployer fail to report theaccident, the employeeshould then complete aNotice of Accident andClaim for Compensation,which must be submittedto the CompensationCommissioner to enablehim to subpoena theemployer. This is in termsof (W.Cl. 3) – (Rule 5 oftheAct).

It is important for theemployee who has theworkplace injury toensure that medicalreports are available fromthe doctor. The employeewill help provide theemployer the necessarymedical reports from thedoctor.

Continued on page7

Employee1. The employee has to report the accident to the

employer as soon as possible after such accident has

happened – Section 38 of the COID Act. If notice is

not given to the employer/Compensation Commis-

sioner within 12 months after the date of accident the

employee forfeits his right to compensation, as the

claim cannot be considered in terms of the Act.

2. Should the employer fail to report the accident the

employee has to complete a Notice of Accident and

Claim for Compensation (W.Cl. 3).

3. The employee must assist the employer in obtaining

the medical reports as the employee has chosen the

doctor, sees the doctor regularly and it is his (the

It is important that the employee must get involved and drive his/her case. He/she must not sit back and wait for other people to do it.

Employer1. The employer has to report the accident in the

prescribed manner – i.e. by completing the Employer’s

Report of an Accident (W.Cl. 2). The act requires

that an accident be reported by the employer to the

Compensation Commissioner within 7 days after the

accident took place.

2. Part B of the Employer’s Report of an Accident

(W.Cl. 2) is a carbon copy of Part A and should be

handed to the employee to give to the doctor/hospital/

chiropractor who is going to treat him.

If an employer fails to report the accident, the doctor

can report the case by sending a copy of Part B to the

Compensation Commissioner. The employer will then

be subpoenaed to submit Part A.

3. Obtain First Medical Report (W.Cl. 4) from the treating

doctor – medical evidence plays an important part

when liability for the payment of compensation and

medical expenses is considered.

4. Obtain Progress Medical Reports (W.Cl. 5) – when an

employee is receiving prolonged medical treatment

and is off duty as a result of injuries sustained in

an accident, progress medical reports should be

submitted on a monthly basis to the Compensation

Fund to ensure that compensation in respect of

temporary total disablement is paid timeously.

5. Final Medical Report (W.Cl. 5) – should be submitted

as soon as the employee’s condition has become

stable. The doctor has to describe the impairment of

function as a result of the accident, if any, to enable

the Fund to assess permanent disablement, if any.

6. Resumption Report (W.Cl. 6) – the form has to be

completed by the employer immediately after the

employee has resumed work. Where an employee

is booked off duty for a lengthy period, interim reports

must be submitted.

7. Employee’s banking details form should be submitted

– should the claim qualify for any compensation, this

form will be used to verify the claimant’s banking

details.

It is important that employers should not wait for full documentation before reporting an accident.

THE EMPLOYER is obliged to report anaccident within 7 days of the accidentoccurring and should also complete theEmployer's Report of an Accident (W.Cl.2).The submission to the CompensationCommissioner can speed up claims andensure that compensation is paid and thatmedical expenses are not delayed or unpaidlong after the accident occurs.

In terms of the act, Part B of theEmployer's Report of anAccident (W.Cl. 2)is a carbon copy of Part A and should behanded to the employee to give to thedoctor/hospital/ chiropractor who is goingto treat him. This report contains all therelevant information regarding theemployer/ employee. In cases where anemployer fails to report an accident, thedoctor can report the case by sending a copyof Par t B to the Compensat ionCommissioner. The employer will then besubpoenaed to submit Part A, thusproviding the employee with the necessaryrelief in terms of the act.

Immediately after an employee resumeswork, the Resumption Report form has tobe completed by the employer, but in thosecases in which an employee is booked offduty for a lengthy period, interim reportshave to be submitted.

In those cases where compensation is tobe paid on a claim, the Banking details formshould be completed.

The Medical Practitioner/Chiropractorhas to complete the First Medical Report(W.Cl. 4) and make it available within 14days after examination to the employer forit to be submitted to the CompensationCommissioner. The First Medical Report isvital in the entire process as it describes thepersonal injury or injuries sustained as aresult of the accident. It is important to notet h a t i n c a s e t h e m e d i c a lpractitioner/chiropractor fails to furnishmedical reports – the Commissioner maydelay payment of medical costs until suchreports have been received [Section 74(3)].

The medical practitioner/chiropractor

has to complete regular Progress MedicalReports at monthly intervals. These reportsshould fully describe the treatment receivedby the employee as well as unfitness for anytype of work. At the end of treatment, themedical practitioner/chiropractor has tocomplete the Final Medical Report. Thisreport describes if any impairment wassuffered as a result of the accident.

When the Employer's Report of anAccident is received, a file is opened and aunique claim number allocated. This will befollowed by issuing an acknowledgementcard to the employer, containing the claimnumber. Issuing a claim number does notmean that the claim has been accepted.Employers should quote this number in allcorrespondence relating to the accidentwith the Commissioner as this ensures allrelevant documents related to the claim arereadily available and speeds up processing.During the claim process, relevant files arereferred to the appropriate sections forclaims assessors to adjudicate liability. Incases where liability is accepted a postcard(W.Cl. 56) is sent to the employer. Theclaim number allocated appears on the card

The proper installation of plantsin the landscape involves muchmore than digging holes andsetting plants in them. Theexisting soil often compacted andpoor drained.

The current trend is to planttrees and shrubs in large beds.Preparation of an entire bed isp re fe r red over p repa r ingindividual holes since the rootswill have a larger area to grow

before they encounter native soilthat might be compacted aerated.To achieve the accurate percentincrease in organic matter, theorganic mater used should bec o m p o s t e d i n c o r p o r a t i n guncomposted organic matter andcreate nutrient deficiencyproblems adding organic matterswhen preparing individual hole isnot recommended.

Plants can be purchased asbare root or container-growplants. Planting procedure variessomewhat with each type.

Container-growth plants havebecome the most particularmethod of growing plants for saleby the nursery industry. In theorycontainer-grown plants can betransplanted year round extraattention to watering must bemade when transplanting in thelate spring or summer. Late fall

early spring are considered idealplanting times because roots willhave more stress due to newfo l i age growth and h ightemperatures occurs.

The planting depth should besuch that the plant is exactly thesame depth after transplanting asit was container. The hole shouldnot be dug any deeper than theroot ball. Loosened soil below theroot ball can settle resulting in theplant being planted hole to reducesettling since most new roots willgrow horizontally from the side ofthe root ball, soil firmed at thebottom of the hole will notsubstantially affect root growth,in the most compacted urbansoils, root growth from the bottomof the root ball will be limited byinadequate aeration and possiblyexcessive moisture. In some casesthe roots in lower portion of theroot ball die after transplanting.Efforts to improve the soil surface

Widening the planting hole isan ideal way to hence plantgrowth. A planting hole that is atree times the width of the rootball with sides of hole slopingtowards the bottom is ideal inmost situations.

“We can't really confirm whythe teams didn't come but we willwait for their reports. As far as weknew, every team didn't have aproblem with this block fixturevenue nor the rotation of venues bythe league. We have to sit down anddiscuss the matter to avoid ithappening again as it is not fair forteams to travel only to return home

without action,” said HALFAP.R.O Jeffrey Moroosi.

In the matches that took place,the host, Downs started things offwith Mighty Squad. The two wentto break nil-all and after break itwas the home side that got threegoals for a comfortable 3-nil win.Sekampaneng United also madesure of maximum points with anarrow 3-2 win over Stinkwaterbased side Silver Stars. The lastgame saw Mighty battling Unitedand Mighty overcame first gamedefeat to record a 5-1 win.

Downs coach, Lucas Seemise,was happy with the maximumpoints bagging six points in a formof a victory and a walkover.

“It's unfair for teams to comeand not play and I am sure coacheswho are here are not happy withfree points. Every coach andplayers want to play and earn thepoints. We played well in the firstgame and wrapped up the game inthe second half. Unfortunately forour next fixture our opponentsdidn't come so either way, thepoints make us cement our place atthe top,” he said.

Soshanguve-based referee,Robert Sethole (47), said hisinterest in the laws of the

game and passion for soccersustained him in his early days atthe local football associationleague matches, through toPremier Soccer League (PSL) up tohis current position as a referee'sassessor.

Speaking to at hishome in extension 4, Sethole saidhe played soccer alongside OupaMabuza and Brian Mathe duringthe early days of professionalfootball.

“When my teammates choseme to represent them as a referee inthe local football associationmatches, I was somehow hesitantat first. During those days it was arule that every team was requiredto identify one person to rotate as areferee in one of the matchesplayed on the day.” said Sethole.

In 1999,when the SoshanguveDistrict and Local FootballA s s o c i a t i o n ( S O D I F A )recommended him to go and be amiddle man in the SAB leaguenational play-offs in Polokwane.Little did he know that this wasgoing to be his breakthrough as aprofessional referee.

“I was shocked when SAFAapproached me after the game totell me that I should stop wastingmy time with the local footballassociation league games. Twoweeks later I was invited to attend aworkshop of national panel ofreferees to test our fitness andtheore t i ca l background inrefereeing . Luckily, I managed topass the test,” added Sethole.

From thereon Sethole has beenexposed to refereeing at a higherlevel as a fourth official in most ofthe Premier Soccer League (PSL)matches. In 2007 during the ABSACup match between Pirates andBloemfontein Celtic, he got an

opportunity he could not miss.“When Abdul Ebrahim, who

was the then referee during thegame, got an injury and couldn'tcontinue, I felt this was a blessingin disguise. I was then asked to takeover. Truth be told, being a refereein a crowd of that magnitude wasindeed nerve wrecking yetfulfilling,” said Sethole.

The highlight of his career wasrefereeing a derby between Chiefsand Pirate last season. He was alsochosen as a fourth official in someof the international matches andsays that this will always be closeto his heart.

“Conversely, if there is oneworst moment I will never forget, itmust the game between Chiefs andGolden Arrows, last season inwhich I made a wrong decision andawarded Chiefs a penalty whichthey unfortunately missed. Duringthe video match review I realisedmy wrong positioning caused meto make a wrong judgment.

Revered referee flying the flag high

Immediately, I wrote a letter to thePSL and Golden Arrows toapologise,” said Sethole.

Because of his age his, he had toquit being a middle man and is nowin a panel of match commissioners.His role is to coach referees aboutthe rules of the game.

He conducts free lectures tolocal referees at Giant stadiumevery Sunday morning .He said thisis his bit to improve the standard ofrefereeing in the local footballassociation leagues and to recruityoung people into the field.

South African legends such asNeil Tovey, Philemon Masinga andCalvin Petersen were at thetournament as part of the CastleLager Super Stars XI talent

scouting and identification project.Tovey explained that they

would add players they haveidentified at the championships tothe pool of players they alreadyhave, although this is not the be-alland end-all.

“We will have a scout on eachplayer who will monitor the playerfor a month. They will also see ifwe have missed any other players,and then we will get down to about50 odd players, and eventuallydown to 23. The quality of the cropthis year overall was high. Therewere some nice players here.”

“I am optimistic that the SuperStars program has been and willcontinue to be a big success. Thesystems are working smoothly and

the scouting networks are veryprofessional. There is always morework that can be done. The planwith SAB is also to ensure that in afew years' time every coach in theleague has gone through at least alevel one coaching course,” addedTovey.

Western Cape striker, TherloMoosa opened the scoring in thefinal and was named as both Playerof the Tournament and the TopGoal Scorer, walking off with R15000 and a potentially excitingcareer ahead of him.

“I thank God for giving me theopportunity to play. Now I want togo and work harder on my game,and see if I can make it to the PSL,”the 18-year-old said.
