  • SASSA to add more services to aid disabled | tribune-newspaper

    SASSA to add more services to aid disabled 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 9 March 2021 The aid can be used to assist with medical bills, nutritious food purchases, and compensating the person taking care of the frail. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has called on grant recipients who already receive an old-age, disability or war veterans grant, to apply for a grant-in-aid, which can be used to assist with medical bills, nutritious food purchases, and compensating the person taking care of the frail. SASSA Mpumalanga spokesperson, Senzeni Ngubeni, stated that qualifying recipients must not be cared for at an institution that already receives a state subsidy. “Applicants who do not have an identity document, smart ID or birth certificate for the children involved in the application, can still apply for a grant, but must check with the nearest SASSA office on which alternative documents are accepted for grant applications. SASSA has noted with concern that most frail recipients of old-age grants, disability grants and war veterans grants do not come forward to SASSA offices to apply for a grant-in-aid. SASSA cares about the conditions of frail, elderly people not receiving proper tender care which can be ascribed to many social ill factors in some communities. One of SASSA’s primary objectives is to raise awareness to teach families with frail grant recipients to come to any nearby SASSA office to apply for this additional grant.” According to SASSA, successful applications could be paid within three months, snd the payments will be backdated to the day the application for the grant was completed. “The grant-in-aid will be cancelled if the beneficiary is no longer in the care of another person, if they pass on, or if they get admitted to a state institution, and if the income or assets improve so much that they no longer qualify in terms of the means test.” Ngubeni concluded. For more details, contact SASSA on 0800 60 1011, Mondays to Fridays, from 08:00 - 16:00. < Previous Article Next Article >

Riana Bester, (34) ‘n bekende in die dorp, is op Dinsdag, 24 Augustus, skielik oorlede. Riana was werksaam by Jack’s Konstruksie. Sy was baie geliefd by haar werk, asook in die gemeenskap. Wanneer mens verby haar gery het, kon jy altyd haar vrolike gesiggie sien met haar rooi lippe aan. Sy het altyd geglimlag, en was gereed om te groet in die verby ry. Die Tribune het bietjie op haar Facebook blad gaan kyk, en al die boodskappies wat haar vriende vir haar gelos het gesien, wat weer net wys sy was altyd daar wanneer enig persoon haar nodig gehad het.

Dankie vir jou oneindige liefde, dankie vir jou bystand as ek so ver weg gewerk het. Dankie dat jy Ami en Stiaan sulke mooi waardes van lewe geleer het, dankie dat jy my geleer het wat is ware liefde. Ek weet jy waak oor ons daar waar jy aan Jesus se sy is, jy het gesprankel orals waar jy gaan, soveel raad vir ander gegee, en na ander se behoeftes omgesien het. Jou legende lewe voort. Jy was my lewe, my alles. Lief jou vir ewig, my Senekal nooi. Saggies rus.” Riana se begrafnis sal vandag, Dinsdag, 31 Augustus plaasvind vanuit die AGS Kerk, om 11:00, op die hoek van 99 Sluiter en Oosthuise Strate plaasvind.

It is also used to check the state of readiness for each school which will write the final examination, and is written under similar conditions as the end of the year examination.

The marks obtained by individual learners are used as part of the School Based Assessment ( SBA). The Department requests parents and learners to appreciate the significance of this examination process, and to ensure that the examination is allowed to continue and progress without any challenges. At the same time, the Department extends its best wishes to all Grade 12 learners. “We are grateful that our learners soldiered thus far, considering the difficulties brought about by COVID-19.

  • Vuurwapenamnestie verleng tot 2021 | tribune-newspaper

    Vuurwapenamnestie verleng tot 2021 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 24 November 2020 Die vuurwapenamnestie wat einde Julie vir 'n tydperk van ses maande deur die parlement goedgekeur is, het op 1 Augustus 2020 begin en duur tot 31 Januarie 2021. Die beperkings van vlakke 5 en 4 het mense verhinder om onwettige, sowel as hul ongelisensieerde en ongewenste vuurwapens en ammunisie in te lewer. Die vuurwapenamnestie wat einde Julie vir 'n tydperk van ses maande deur die parlement goedgekeur is, het op 1 Augustus 2020 begin en duur tot 31 Januarie 2021. Die vorige amnestietydperk, wat ook vir 'n tydperk van ses maande bedoel was, is ontspoor deur die onverwagse COVI-19-pandemie, maar ten spyte hiervan het die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiediens (SAPD) 'n totaal van 46 714 vuurwapens ontvang. Die amnestietydperk skep 'n geleentheid vir lede van die publiek om ongewenste vuurwapens, of vuurwapens wat onwettig besit word, aan die SAPD oor te gee sonder om bang te wees dat hulle vervolg sal word. Diegene wat hul vuurwapens gedurende die periode van amnestie oorgee, moet die nodige vorms invul en onderteken by die naaste polisiekantoor, en moet aandring op 'n afskrif van die SAPS 548 (Amnestie-vorm). Lede van die publiek word versoek om van hierdie tydperk gebruik te maak om die vuurwapens en ammunisie in te handig vir vernietiging, of hernuwing van 'n bevoegdheidsertifikaat en 'n geldige lisensie. Al die vuurwapens wat ingehandig is, sal ballistiese toetse ondergaan om te verseker dat dit nie gebruik is in die pleeg van misdade voordat dit vir vernietiging oorweeg kan word nie. Vir meer inligting, word die gemeenskap aangemoedig om hul plaaslike polisiekantoor, of die Central Firearms Register (CFR) inbelsentrum te kontak by 012 353 6111, en korrupsie by 0800 701 701 aan te meld. < Previous Article Next Article >

  • More pollution added to Pet Dam

    In an environmental study released, MLM, amongst three other Mpumalanga municipalities, is explicitly fingered as a main culprit in the years-long pollution of the Vaal River. More pollution added to Pet Dam 1/5 Share GK CRONJE 24 August 2021 In an environmental study released, MLM, amongst three other Mpumalanga municipalities, is explicitly fingered as a main culprit in the years-long pollution of the Vaal River. Amidst Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM) approving new construction projects, building plans and residence extensions left and right, the environment, fauna and flora, as well as residents get the shortest end of the stick imaginable. Since circa 2014, the sewerage system in President Fouché Avenue and the surrounding wards have been on a downward spiral, with municipal managers from three iterations back’s promises still remaining unfulfilled. The impact on the wildlife and wetland animals, especially notable the Egrets that grace Ermelo, is a cause of great concern, as the spillage eventually flows down to the Pet Dam, leaving a trail of pollution and wildlife death in its wake. From the Pet Dam, which is already polluted beyond measure, the overflow ties in with the Klein Drinkwater stream, ultimately ending up in the Vaal River. In an environmental study released, MLM, amongst three other Mpumalanga municipalities, is explicitly fingered as a main culprit in the years-long pollution of the Vaal River. Alas, to date no upgrades, nor action have been taken, with the situation being inexplicably worse than before. The frequent blockages and overflow of the sewerage line in President Fouché Avenue clearly indicates a larger problem factor with the network area, as residents near the President Fouché Avenue and Roberts Street intersection live in a near constant cloud of putridity, as the overflowing manholes in this section is a constant issue, with feaces, sanitary products, condoms and toilet paper being left to bake in the sun. The fields in this area is constantly drenched with sewage, and also holds serious health implications for residents and learners from the nearby schools. The issue of the pandemic further proves problematic, as MLM barks at residents to practice hygiene, but back at the ranch, they are the main culprits of unhygienic practices. While MLM’s authority figures, as well as various ward councillors are well aware of the problems faced by residents, it would seem that little is being done to provide a permanent and viable solution. The Gert Sibande District Municipality had also been informed of the issue on several occasions, but claim to have no jurisdiction in the matter. The Democratic Alliance (DA) has noted that the party had sent a letter to the Premier of Mpumalanga, by the time response is received from provincial level, the damage will be immeasurable.

  • Minister Didiza claims to be in the dark amidst scandal

    The Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Department minister, Thoko Didiza, on Sarturday held a meeting to appease farmers in the area amidst a massive scandal which involves eviction letters, threats of eviction from department officials via WhatsApp messages, bribery from department officials and various other issues. The meeting addressed issues related to state-owned land leased to farmers, which are now being cut short and unlawfully terminated by department officials. Several farmers in Mpumalanga received letters informing them that they would be evicted from state farms, and some have been lured into paying bribes to officials of up to R25 000 to have paperwork processed and the lease renewed. John Mabasa of Goedehoop farm said that his family had been farming on their family land for over two centuries. When he submitted a land claim in 1998 to formalize his family’s land holdings, the Department claimed that they had no records of the claim. In 2013, after a Public Protector finding instructed the Department to allocate him a farm, he was given caretakership on a portion of land. The award came with the condition that he should farm as part of a co-op. When he refused to pay R25 000 to ensure that a proposed business plan was approved by the Department, his land was advertised for occupation for interested new leases. Swazi Motha of Rietspruit farm is part of a group of three farmers who, in 2013, were granted a lease to a farm. In 2019, when asked to apply for financial assistance, they were told to “pay something” to facilitate the signing of the contract. They refused to pay the bribe, and received a letter of termination in 2019. To date, the department had been keeping mum on the issue. Although the enquiries from the Tribune ePaper have been acknowledged, no response had been received from the department despite several enquiries. However, in a turn of events that is laughable, to say the least, Didiza has assured the farmers that they will not be evicted from the farms, and claimed to have been in the dark amidst this saga, and did not authorize the eviction letters to be sent out. “There is not going to be any eviction and in any way of actions process in terms of state land, you’ll have to involve the Minister. And in this incident, those letters were not even given out with authorization of the Minister. So we agreed that there is not going to be any eviction of the farmers we are created in two weeks time the team from the property unit in the Department of Agriculture will come down and all those farmers who have got issues around their leases we’ll meet at the department so that those issues are resolved.” Didiza stated. This is of very little comfort to the affected farmers, as it is clear that there is a high level of confusion and collusion within the department. This is a developing story.

  • Focus shifts toward expensive school uniforms | tribune-newspaper

    Focus shifts toward expensive school uniforms 1/2 Share GK CRONJE 9 March 2021 Investigations pointed out that several schools were overly prescriptive in their uniform choices, which again limited the choices and bargaining power of parents who were beholden to a small number of suppliers. The Competition Commission, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and four associations representing school governing bodies (SGBs) has taken hands to address the skyrocketing costs of school uniforms. Their focus is mainly on the regulation of the procurement of school uniforms and other educational goods and services. The signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at stopping schools from forcing parents to buy from exclusive suppliers will soon be a boon for cash-strapped parents in the country. The organizations signed the MOU on Monday after years of investigations and advocacy, following complaints received from parents who were forced to buy school uniforms from exclusively selected suppliers. Competition Commissioner, Tembinkosi Bonakele, said it was important to note that it was not the commission’s intention to dictate school uniform design, but rather to ensure that uniforms were not unaffordable for parents. Bonakele said as such they called on the SGBs to be cognizant of costs when designing their uniform, and other educational goods and service regimes. “On the enforcement side, we found that the exclusive arrangements between schools and uniform suppliers were pervasive across the country, and made uniforms unnecessarily expensive and increasingly unaffordable for many South Africans,” said Bonakele. Federation of Governing Bodies of SA Schools legal services manager, Juané van der Merwe, stated that the memorandum marks much broader participation by influential stakeholders, and it should contribute to a better South Africa for many people and generations to come, as renewed terms and conditions comes into play. Investigations pointed out that several schools were overly prescriptive in their uniform choices, which again limited the choices and bargaining power of parents who were beholden to a small number of suppliers. DBE spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said the MOU is aimed at solidifying working relations between the commission and the SGBs. < Previous Article Next Article >
