Gauteng’s three biggest metros - Johannes-

burg, Tshwane and Ekurhu-leni will spend billions of rands within the next three years improving public transport. Ekurhuleni and Tshwane have adopted the bus rapid transit system following the success of the City of Johannesburg’s Rea Vaya BRT.Yesterday the City of Johannesburg launched a new Rea Vaya route in Soweto. The route runs from Soweto through several suburbs including Noordgesig, New Cana-da, Pennyville, Bosmont,

Coronationville, Newclare, Westbury, Westdene, Mel-ville, Auckland Park and Parktown before heading into the Johannesburg city centre. The new route, which is expected to ferry 40000 passengers, is scheduled to start operating next month. The Rea Vaya has been run-ning for four years, success-fully. Currently, 80000 pas-sengers use the R2.5-billion transport system. Lisa Sef-tel, City of Johannesburg head of transport, said prof-itability of Rea Vaya did not depend on passenger num-bers alone. “[It works] also

[on] the kilometres trav-elled. We pay the operator for the kilometres travelled. If the operator misses a trip we penalise them, so there is incentive for performance,” said Seftel. Construction for the system’s third phase, linking the city centre to Sandton, begins in Novem-ber. Tshwane Municipal-ity construction of its R2.6-billion A Re Yeng bus rapid transit system is under way. Once the system’s phase 1 is completed, 180000 people will be transported daily from next year. City of Tsh-wane spokesman Blessing

Manale said the city’s grow-ing traffic problems could only be managed through an efficient public transport system. The system should be affordable, safe and reli-able, he said. The Ekurhule-ni council will take its BRT to another level by includ-ing plans for pedestrians and cyclists. Yolisa Mashil-wane, Ekurhuleni’s head of transport, said the city would promote non-moto-rised transport as part of the implementation of its inte-grated rapid public transport network (RPTN), which in-cludes the BRT.“The BRT,

set to launch in 2016, will come with pedestrian and cyclist paths,” Mashilwane said. With five transport corridors, discussions are under way to consider link-ing the municipality’s BRT system to Johannesburg. Ekurhuleni has applied to National Treasury’s public transport infrastructure sys-tems grant for R3.3-billion over the next three years to implement its RTPN. The city received R240-million to start planning for its BRT. “The challenge is that the current system is fragment-ed. The buses and railways

operate on their own with minibus taxis doing their own thing. We are looking for an integrated transport with a one-ticket system,” said Mashilwane. Ekurhu-leni’s model will result in the establishment of a bus operating company in which taxi operators will become shareholders. Mashilwane said the city would not be a shareholder, but would manage the entity. The city would also plan and imple-ment the infrastructure and monitor the operations of the system.

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty… (Proverbs 11, Verse 24). This was the nostalgic verse at the assembly on Friday morning, the 26th July 2013 as a donation of computers was made to Gideon Ram-abuwane Primary School. The project was a joint initia-tive between local business owners France Makhanya of Kgoshi’s Internet Café and Clara Motsisi of Mot-sisi Developments where a total of five computers, five

Lead SA, Department of Arts and Cul-ture, Government Commu-nications and Information System, Proudly SA and Brand South Africa have introduced Freedom Fridays as part of the build-up to the milestone of 20 years of de-mocracy in April 2014. Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile said government has endorsed the initiative. He further urged all South Africans to be proud of their nationality. “The message we are sending out is that we are proudly South Africans,” he said. “We urge everyone

mouses and five keyboards were donated to the school. In addition, a number of branded pens were also distributed to the school’s joy-filled staff members “This move was motivated and encouraged by the dis-cussion we had with the principal three months ago, through which we under-stood that the school has a computer lab and monitors, but no other equipment to help in operating it. We then, as small business own-ers in Klipfontein saw it necessary to come up with a plan to see how we could assist the school to have the

Speaking at the launch of Freedom Fri-days at Soweto’s Sakhumzi Restaurant - which is a stone’s throw away from the old Mandela house – former political prisoner and anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Kathrada, used the platform to recount the long journey that gave birth to the demo-cratic era. The signage dis-played by the struggle hero had these words: “This lift is for Europeans only. Service lift is provided for trades-men, non-Europeans, Prams and Dogs. No Hawkers al-lowed.” “I am sure young

lab functioning” said Clara. This was a highlight of the year as there have previ-ously been two break-ins at the school where all the computers in the lab were stolen. The only things left were the computer moni-tors but without keyboards, mouses or computer boxes to help operate them and this left the computer lab vacant. School teachers and learn-ers rejoiced and were ex-cited as now the school’s lab would finally be in use and the learners would receive a chance to utilise computers. “I’m very excited about to-day’s event. Having these

people have never seen this before. I do not have to say anything more because one sentence has said it all,” said Kathrada. “Yes, 1994 brought us dignity. Apart-heid is no longer there. Rac-ism is now a criminal of-fence. But today we’ve got many challenges. Poverty, unemployment, disease and children without schools are the new challenges we are facing. “I am glad that young people have already established what our new challenges are and I am con-fident that young people, who are the majority of our country, will stand up to the challenges that face us be-cause there is no dignity in poverty, disease and hun-ger.” Source: looklocal

computers will encourage us in making sure that our com-puter lab is functional and will ensure that our learn-ers will have an opportunity to atleast press a computer button and be able to use a mouse. This is just the beginning of bigger things”, said Mrs Se-menya, the school principal. The two business owners conveyed their contentment and disbelief of the effect that their contribution had

made. “I still had learners coming to thank me at my Internet Café after school. It was truly humbling because I did not realise the impact that our small donation had made. I hope this will be a wake-up call for all the other local businessmen in realising the need for social responsibili-ty projects as well as the im-portance of supporting local organisations”, said France.

Dear Reader,

Drug and substance abuse have serious implica-tions for millions of South Africans because the consumption and abuse contributes to crime, gang-sterism, domestic violence, family dysfunction and other social problems.

This has forced the community stakeholders to conduct a door-door campaign against drugs and substance abuse, educating the people about the consequences of these substances. Ward 75 Solo-mon Mahlangu Branch Secretary Rachel Phasha said they received many reports of domestic abuse due to the high intake of alcohol and heroine. Action has been taken in various ways within the communities in the fight against drugs and sub-stance abuse. Also, a number of unnamed moth-ers from Eldorado Park, south of Johannesburg, submitted a heart-rending letter from residents that prompted President Jacob Zuma to pay the com-munity a visit.

I appeal to communities to work together so that we can eradicate this scourge completely.

that the highest number of marriages (27.3%) lasts be-tween five and nine years. A total of 20.9% lasted less than five years. Altogether nearly half of the marriag-es registered in that year, lasted less than ten years! Several of the country’s most famous married per-sonalities stood up for mar-riages during the awareness campaign. This initiative, a joint project by INTIEM Magazine, ULSANIC, Inti-macy4Us and the magazine I do encourages married couples to take control of their marriages.

Multiple media platforms, celebrities, businesses, counselors and govern-ment leaders participated in this initiative. “Failed mar-riages in South Africa are a national crisis that must be

urgently addressed because divorces have a direct im-pact on the well-being of our society. Crime, depres-sion, unemployment and alcoholism are all conse-quences of broken families. In contrast to this; healthy marriages cultivate a youth with vision for the future” says Annelize Steyn edi-tor of INTIEM Magazine Marriage has several ad-vantages, including a lon-ger life, more social capital and better health.

During the awareness cam-paign, married couples na-tionwide celebrate the insti-tution of marriage. Couples will be encouraged to focus on their marital relationship and to confront the obsta-cles in their marriage.

National Marriage Week, an initiative that took place for the first time this year from 1-7 September, serves as an awareness campaign and project that will in-spire couples to focus on the wellbeing of their mar-riages.

It is said that an average of between 50% and 66% of all South African mar-riages end in divorce. Sta-tistics like these are alarm-ing. There were a total of 20,980 divorces granted in 2011 and a total of 18,571 children now form part of broken homes, due to this year’s divorce.

But have you ever won-dered about all the won-ders that we don’t see and that are so beautiful and all around us. Have you ever walked bare-footed on the sand at the sea and felt the softness beneath your feet. Looking at the sand from the posi-tion we see it, it just looks like sand. But if we would

Did you ever sit and contemplate the ab-

solute wonders of our dear Creator. We look to Him for all the sweet things that we enjoy in this world and all the beautiful wonders that He makes around us that are ever so precious.

It is a reality in the times we live in that most South Africans will probably at some stage be contacted by a debt col-lector for the payment of an outstand-ing amount. Whether the demand is for outstanding School fees, Rent and lev-ies, unpaid accounts, TV licenses, med-ical bills or any other amount, the col-lection of these amounts if done by any other person than the person to whom the amount is owed in all likelihood falls under the auspices of the Council for Debt Collectors The principles ap-plicable as well as the exceptions to this general rule is set out below.

Who is a debt collector?A debt collector is any person or com-pany other than an attorney or his em-ployee who for reward collects debts owed to another on the latter’s behalf. Property Managers who collect arrear rent or levies are also debt collectors.

Must a debt collector be registered?All debt collectors must register with the Council for Debt Collectors in or-der to operate. Failure to register before collecting a debt is a criminal offence.

How do I know if the person contact-ing me is a debt collector?All debt collectors must produce proof of registration, on request.What do debt collectors do?They collect debts owed to another, by mail, phone or in person. They may de-liver documents and may even have an acknowledgement of debt signed.

What is an acknowledgement of debt?A legal document in terms whereof a party admits his liability to another, often coupled with an offer to pay off the debt in monthly installments, and consent to judgment. Once signed such a document may lead to a court order being obtained without further notice to the debtor.Who regulates the debt collector’s actions?

The Council monitors the actions of debt collectors ensuring that their ac-tions comply with the code of conduct for debt collectors and further ensuring that they charge only those fees al-lowed by the Act.

What fees may debt collectors charge?The fees are prescribed by law, which include a fee for letters, telephone calls and a collection commission. Fees gen-erally not recoverable are bank charges, and travelling expenses.

Typical fees at date of print and con-tained in Schedule B of the Regula-tions are for example:Necessary Letter R15-00Necessary Phone call R15-00Consultation with debtor R37-00Other necessary expenses R15-00A debt collector is not entitled to claim more than R736-00 in fees or the capi-tal amount due whichever amount is the lesser.It then follows that on a debt of R100 the fees charged may never exceed R100.A debt collector is also allowed 10% fee per instalment received in pay-ment of a debt subject to a maximum of R368-00. Note: Collection commission agreed upon between the debt collector and the client cannot be recovered from a debtor.

What should I do if a debt collector contacts me?-Make sure he or she is registered. Contact the Council for clarification if necessary.-Listen carefully to what he or she says.-When in doubt obtain legal advice or approach the Council.

What rights do debt collectors have?-They have the right to contact you for the payment of a debt-They have the right to charge the pre-scribed fees for the work done in col-lecting a debt.

What rights do I have?-The right to obtain legal advice before signing anything. In the legal world your signature on a document like for instance a acknowledgement of debt can have serious financial consequenc-es.-To be treated with dignity at all times.

-The right to confidentiality.-The right not to be contacted before 6 in the morning or after 9 in the evening, or on a Sunday.-The right not to be harassed, humili-ated, embarrassed or threatened.-To receive a statement should you re-quest one free of charge once every six months. -To have the account of a debt collec-tor taxed by the clerk of the magistrate court should I dispute the amount for fees charged by the debt collector.- If unhappy with the conduct of a debt collector to report him to the Council for investigation and possible disciplin-ary steps.

Important points to remember-Attorneys and their employees do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Coun-cil for Debt Collectors and are therefore answerable only to the relevant law so-cieties.-Micro lenders and others like furniture stores who collect their own debts need not register with the Council and there-fore also fall outside the jurisdiction of the Council.-Although you are entitled to collect your own debts without being regis-tered as a debt collector, you are not entitled to demand any fees while do-ing so.

What to do if you have a complaint against a debt collector?-Debt collectors are regulated by the Council for Debt Collectors and must comply with various laws, regulations and the code of conduct while perform-ing their duties.-If you have a complaint with regards to the fees you are being charged, have the account taxed by the clerk of the magistrate court.- All complaints must be in writing and under oath.-If you have a complaint against the ac-tions or conduct of a debt collector or are unsure of your rights, contact:

INTRODUCTION

The Protection of Personal Infor-mation Bill (POPI) will soon be signed into law by the President. POPI aims to support the right to privacy of personal information of South African citizens when personal information is collected and processed by organisations.

This Bill brings South Africa in line with international data pro-tection laws and it contains eight conditions which the responsible parties (i.e. organisations that process personal information) need to comply with.

THE HEART OF POPI - THE EIGHT CONDITIONSPOPI encompasses the following eight conditions:

Condition 1: AccountabilityOrganisations must assign re-sponsibility for overseeing and managing compliance with the Bill to a suitable person.

Condition 2: Processing limita-tionPersonal information may only be processed in a fair and lawful manner that is transparent to the

individual, thereby requiring the individual’s explicit consent.

The amount of personal infor-mation that is collected should not be excessive in relation to its purpose.

Condition 3: Purpose specifica-tionAn organisation must ensure that personal information is only pro-

cessed for specific, explicitly de-fined and legitimate reasons relat-ing to the functions or activities of the organisation and it must furthermore take steps to make the data subject (person whose personal information is being processed) aware of the purposes for which the personal informa-tion will be processed. Personal information may only be kept for as long as it is required to fulfil

the purpose for which it was col-lected.

Condition 4: Further processing limitationOnce an organisation has iden-tified and obtained consent for specific, legitimate and explicitly defined purposes, the personal in-formation may only be processed if it is necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.

An organisation may therefore only use personal information for those reasons that were speci-fied at the time that the individual consented to the processing of the information, unless further con-sent of the individual is obtained.

Condition 5: Information qualityOrganisations must maintain the quality of the personal informa-tion and as such all personal in-formation must be kept reliable, accurate, up-to-date and relevant to the purposes for which it was collected.

Condition 6: OpennessOrganisations are obliged to pro-cess information in a fair and transparent manner and individu-als must be aware of the specific personal information held about them.

Condition 7: Security safeguardsAll personal information should be kept secure against the risk of loss, unauthorised access, inter-ference, modification, destruc-tion or disclosure.

Condition 8: Data subject partici-pationIndividuals have the right to ac-cess and/or request the correc-tion or deletion of any personal information held about them that may be inaccurate, misleading or outdated.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE If an organisation collects your cellu-lar phone number and birthdate, it must tell you why it requires this information. If, for example, it tells you that it wants to send you a birthday sms for the next five years, it may only use this information for sending such messages and not, say, for direct marketing. The organisation must keep your information up to date and safe and may not give it to unauthorised parties. It could also only store this information for five years, unless you agree otherwise.

CONCLUSION The respon-sibility for the monitoring and enforcement of compliance with POPI will rest with the Infor-mation Protection Regulator, an independent statutory body to be established once the Bill is passed into law. Responsible parties will only have one year from the com-mencement date of this new law to comply. If they do not, they may face se-rious consequences, including facing civil liability claims and being fined up to R10 million or face ten years in jail, not to men-tion suffering significant reputa-tional damage.

Nol-untu is not a fool, she’s only sleeping her way back to Yona Yethu. Hai! I bet the gogo who bewitched the Memela grandchildren died centuries ago. Akhona, MJ and veteran Noluntu all they think of is sex all the time, hayibo madoda sizani! I know sometimes I get car-ried away and phaphariza too much but can someone please help me understand what Dineo’s plan is? Okay, she has found a baby ma-chinery, sorted, but what will she do in the next com-ing 9 months to prove her pregnancy? Will she stuff in 1 pillow after 3 months, then two pillows for 4 months and so on and disguise it as a growing tummy? Can someone please give Isidingo’s Nikiwe a varam klap. She may be an elite but what kind of a daughter is she that claims ancestors do not exist? Forgive my sarcasm, I can’t say Lerato has arrived. She’s way too far from achieving women empowerment she preaches about. Is a matter of before her business with Sechaba take a knock down. Sies-tog, I nearly collapsed of heart attack when Benjamin announced the owner of ONTV. Batho wee, is only today that Rhythm City’s puntsu-puntsu, Mampho, starts to develop fears of being HIV positive? That’s something she should have thought about before jumping into bed le di khehla. If Gail thinks that moving into Da-vid’s house will give her the comfort she needs, then she better think twice. Let Bash play far away from Reneil-we. She’s not his type.Will Muvhango’s Hangwani ever know peace in her life? Just when her heart starts to settle at ease that there’s no Albert and Thuli, Khomotjo emerges in the picture. With Khomotjo alway wanting people to feel her presence, she will do everything to turn Hangwani’s life sour. Maybe I’ve never been in love, I only stop at the sur-face, but what Mongezi has for Pfulwani is obsession and lust. Clearly he doesn’t know Azwindini. I bet if he knew the chief can chance to a lion, he would back off from stalking Pfulu. Speak-ing of obsession, Sizwe is just a kid in the block. Non-ny will suck every single cent he owns. They say love is blind but Sizwe is stupid, simple. Everyone can see Nonny does not love him.

to mind is nothing short of a game which is played in clubs, pubs and casinos as a form of gambling and entertainment. However, the sport has a rich history attached to it. Pool is also known as Pocket Billards or Pool Billards and is the family of cue sports and games played on a pool ta-ble. Popular versions of the

sport include eight-ball and nine-ball. Another term for the sport which has since died down is six-pocket. The sport originated in the United States and was origi-nally played on a pocket-less table and the name pool stuck to all games which were played on a billards table as the sport gained popularity.
