IT is expected that rising waterlevels at the Kamfersdam outsideKimberley, which is a haven forbird life, will no longer be a threatto the flamingos after a wastewater treatment pump system wasbuilt next to the dam to regulatewater access.Flooding, as well as excessive

sewage, has previously had anegative impact on the flamingobreeding area and also deteriorat-ed the quality of the pan’s water.The railway line from Hotazel to

Port Elizabeth which runs alongthe dam, was also flooded.

The minister of Public Enter-prise, Lynne Brown, and theNorthern Cape premier, SylviaLucas, on Monday launched thenewly-refurbished waste watertreatment pump system for theKimberley area next to theKamfersdam.The R92 million restoration

project to construct and refurbishthe railway line of about 1,5 kmpassing the Kamfersdam wasco-funded by Transnet Freight Rail(TFR) and the Sol Plaatje Munici-pality.Construction took place from

June 2011 until December 2013after the railway tracks had been

submerged following abnormallyhigh levels of rain in January 2011.The railway line was raised by

700 mm in an effort to eliminatefuture risks of flooding.

Brown said at the launch thatthe restoration had entailed theconstruction of a pipeline runningbetween Kamfersdam and LanglegPan while TFR halted operationson this stretch and temporarilydiverted traffic to the McFarlane-Kamfers lane.“This had a negative impact on

rail efficiency as it added threehours to train turnaround times,”said Brown.The minister was accompanied

by David Molusi, the mayor of SolPlaatje, Kgadi Moloi, the executivemayor of the Frances BaardDistrict Municipality, and officialsfrom both stakeholder groups.

Brown commended the projectfor the creation of 130 jobs andtraining of community members invarious technical aspects ofprojects, such as pipe-laying andplumbing.According to Brown, the econo-

my and the people of the regionsuffered tremendously when therail line was flooded.“The re-opening of the line will

definitely boost the economy andcreate more job opportunities.“This is an exciting prospect and

will add to the province’s potentialfor being the biggest exporter ofmanganese and iron ore,” Brownadded.

THROUGH prayer, Pastor Thapelo Thipe ofthe Hope Christian Church in Galeshewekeeps experiencing blessings which hischurch shares with the nearby communitiesof Phomolong, Ipeleng and Phutanang.This was the case when Tanya Jansen

van Rensburg, a final-year student in SocialWork at the University of the Free State(UFS), performed a situation analysis inPhomolong and decided to do her practicalsin Galeshewe.She also chose the Hope Christian Centre

as a venue and partner.Through the analysis that she has to

present to the university, Jansen vanRensburg realised that parenting skillsprogrammes were not usually presented tothe community.Therefore she invited Maggy Beukes of

the Northern Cape National Institute ofHigher Education to present a parentingprogramme to the more than 50 parents andgrandparents who gathered at the centre.Beukes took parents back to the day they

gave birth and held their little bundle ofjoy in their hands for the first time. Sheasked them how they had felt on that dayand what dreams they had had for theirchild. In response, parents answered thatthey had wanted better lives for theirchildren.“Parents did not want expensive things

for their children. They mostly wantedtheir children to be respectful and to beGod fearing,” Beukes said.Using simple illustrations, she explained

the virtues of child-rearing and patience tothe parents.“After planting a bamboo seed, the tree

has to be faithfully watered for four years,even though there are no signs of life.“However, after those four years, the tree

surfaces and shoots to a full tree withinweeks of surfacing.”She illustrated the importance of giving

children boundaries by hand of a soccergame.“For a game to be successful, all players

know that there are rules that need to befollowed.“The soccer field has boundaries X there

are linesmen, spectators and a referee. Toachieve a goal or score a goal, the players

know that they have to work together andhelp one another to execute the coach’splan.“Together they have to overcome obsta-

cles such as rival players and goalkeeperswho block any attempt at scoring.“Important as well though, are the

spectators who watch the game,” Beukessaid. “They can form an opinion of aplayer’s character during the game.”Beukes told the parents that the growth

of a child was just like that.There should be rules and they should be

observed, knowing that the world out thereis watching.“Establish structures in the family and

have meetings as a family. Parents areexpected to accept the responsibility fortheir children’s behaviour. It is clear thatgrandparents are taking care of theirchildren in the absence of their parents, asis mostly the case in Phomolong,” Beukessaid.However, she said that she was impressed

by their willingness to learn and that sheenjoyed working with parents and membersof the Hope Christian Centre.Thipe thanked Jansen van Rensburg for

the successful organising of the programmeand wished her well in her future endeav-ours as a social worker.He also expressed his hopes that Jansen

Van Rensburg would return to work in theNorthern Cape.“I realise that this programme is what

the community needs most,” Thipe said.“It provides answers to the challenges in

the community. Even though there was aburglary in our church and the thievesstole from us, we will stand firm.“Strong winds also blew apart our

church, but we remain in the Lord.”

gathered in Hillcrest to witness PholohoSemunza launching her brainchild – theTalitha Cumi Movement.The theme, Young Women arise, is

derived from Mark 5:41 and is aimed atempowering and supporting women fromdifferent backgrounds.Praising and worshipping, dancing and

just being their loud selves, the womenlistened as Semunza, the founder of themovement, elaborated on the movement’smission and vision.Pastor Mohau Shuping motivated them.Because they are women of purpose,

they were encouraged to fall in love withthemselves and to complement one anotherinstead of competing against one another.Semunza, who highlighted how she had

been “pregnant” with this calling todevelop and cultivate gold in people since2007, pledged to give herself for thepurpose of empowering women.Comfortable in her rolls as first woman,

then a prophetess and a banker, Semunzarevealed that she had received a messageform the Lord to “go mine gold in people”.The energetic founder of the movement

explained that she had never before gonebeyond arranging and hosting meetings inan effort to form the movement.

“However, when I heard the command tomove a few weeks ago, it took me lessthan a month to arrange the launchsingle-handedly X with the backing of myhusband, Pastor Molaodi, of course. Hepromised to give me all the support I’llneed.”She also emphasised the importance of

getting powerful partners on board.“When we rise up, we don’t leave others

behind,” she said.Semunza encouraged the women present

to sign up to become members of themovement.She admitted openly that she had failed

to form the movement several times, dueto too many expectations from otherpeople. Using her past experience as anexample, Semunza encouraged the womento be the best in whatever they did and tonever depend on anyone to uplift them.“On 23 September, when I decided to

stand firm and fulfil my dream, I did noteven have a logo for the organisation.”She believes she was guided to know

which action to take and to whom to talk.“I even struggled to explain to the

designer of the logo how I wanted it. But Iexplained the purpose of the movementand prayed to God to guide him. Even Iwas speechless when I saw the logo,” shesaid with pride when she looked at themovement’s logo.) Go to the Express website www.express-news.co.za for more pictures and videos.)

“JULLE het my mos gelos,” was all PietSehoro (19) was heard saying whileallegedly assaulting and stabbing hisfather, Treppa Sehoro (46), in Sand SharkStreet, Homelite, last week.

The father was declared dead at thescene after he had been assaulted withthe handle of a pick and an okapi (knife)and Piet was reportedly arrested a shortdistance from the scene.

Piet Sehoro is expected to re-appear inthe Kimberley Magistrate’s Court afterbeing advised by Judge KubashniPadayachee to seek legal representationon a charge of murder.

According to a report in Noordkaap, thesuspect’s mother, Eveline, did not knowwhy the assault had taken place.

She said that her son, whom they knewto be a recovered addict, had been sittingin the house eating and the father hadjust arrived home from work.

She was the one who reportedly told theboy to leave some food for his youngerbrother who was still at school.

That was when Piet Sehoro reportedlyclosed the door and apparently startedattacking them with the pick.

“He was asking us why we did not lovehim.”

According to community members whowitnessed the event, they feared for theirlives and therefore could not save thefather from the brutal assault.

Another witness said she had called thepolice and was told that the vans were atthe Bricks Conference that was being heldat the Mittah Seperepere ConventionCentre.

The incident occurred just around thecorner from the Homevale Hall, wherecommunity members were waiting onmembers of the South African PoliceService (SAPS) to come and address themregarding challenges of gangsterism inthe area.

Alec Koti, a former police officer and a

victim of crime, volunteered to be amotivational speaker at the event, butended up in the street witnessing theassault.

He said never before had he felt sohelpless as when he had stood in front ofthe suspect. Community membersscreamed while the son was allegedlystabbing his father who was on theground pleading for his life.

Koti said he took it upon himself toapproach the suspect, whose eyes hadbeen blood-shot, in an attempt to calmhim down.

“I could not stand there and watch likeeveryone else. I felt like I had to dosomething, so I went closer, trying tokeep a safe distance. I heard him tell hisfather: ‘Julle het my mos gelos’.

“He was pompous and continued towalk around his father who was lying inthe road. He took his time, stabbing himin different places. I pleaded with himthat the victim did not deserve to be hurtin that manner, even if he had donesomething wrong. He just looked at meand stabbed his father in the neck,” saidKoti, clearly troubled by the incident.

According to Koti, a group of boys camefrom the opposite direction and picked upstones to attack the assailant.

“I am not sure how he managed to slipaway and flee, but the community,including me, started chasing him.”

According to Koti, the suspect fled intoanother house where he locked himselfinside the house, avoiding the angry mobuntil the police arrived.

The owner of the house was trauma-tised and asked the community members,who were now gunning for Piet Sehoro’sblood, to calm down.

The owner pleaded with Koti to tellthem not to enter the yard as he fearedfor his children, who were also inside thehouse. “The community’s attempt toattack the suspect can be seen as anexample of mob justice and gansterism inthe community,” added Koti.

ALEC KOTI said gangsterism hadbecome fashionable amongst the youth.They join gangs and expect protection inreturn.

“They join different groups, becausethey want to belong. And in order tobelong, you are expected to do criminalactivities in order to gain respect fromthe group’s members.”

He encouraged communities to policethemselves and work hand in hand withtheir community policing forums andsector managers to encourage the youthto participate in the Youth Against Crimeinitiative.

He said everyone was becomingfrustrated and that it was thereforeimportant for all stakeholders to join thefight against gangsterism.

According to Kabelo Segami, a safetyvolunteer at the Roodepan Police Station,gangsterism amongst girls had beenshowing a rapid increase in the Roodepanarea.

Koti said the programme had taken

place on the day of the murder and waspart of an ongoing crime preventionprogramme that had been initiated earlierin April by the Roodepan branch of theDepartment of Public Safety.

The programme is set to continue overthe festive season.

Amongst the concerns raised by theyouths on the day, were peer pressure,bad company and the usage of oka(hookah) pipes.

“Recently, we are noticing that moregirls than boys are becoming involved ingangsterism.

“They range between the ages of12 and 18 years and engage in activitieslike robbery and mob fights,” saidSegami.

He said the challenge of the Roodepancluster remained the lack of policevehicles and manpower as it was a bigcluster.

The cluster plans on hosting an imbizowhere the community can raise itsconcerns.

is the portrait titled DikokonyanaTsa Afrika – meaning African ants.She says the name for the popularpainting came to mind afterobserving how ants go aboutbuilding nests.Pinto, affectionately known as

Vandra, started painting in 2006.She has never been to an institu-tion to perfect her artistic talents.Art talent runs in her family.“My father, Domingo Pinto, was

a water-colourist and my grandfa-ther Domingeon also painted.“There was no way I could

escape. Therefore, I took over whenmy father decided to stop painting,though I wasn’t phenomenal atpainting. At first, I drew prophecyart until a friend of mine advisedme to do African paintings.”The friendly advice helped

unlock Pinto’s full potential.She says she is influenced by the

African lifestyle, hence the strongemphasis on aspects of African life

in her work to tell beautiful storiesabout Africa to the world.Pinto’s work portrays various

aspects of Malawian life, which shefinds inspiring. Her strong interestin portraying the Malawianlifestyle came during her stay inthat country where she attendedhigh school and in a village whereshe completed her matric. She hadno choice but to attend a villageschool as all city schools werealready full when she relocated.However, her stay in Malawiturned out to be an enrichingexperience.Pinto attended the St Helena

Primary School before moving toMalawi to complete her matric. Sheleft her native country of Mozam-bique in 1997 to settle in SouthAfrica – Welkom being theirdestination after her father wasemployed as an assessor at a localmine.Pinto expresses what she sees

through her painting. “I findpainting a method of meditationand concentration where youdiscover your true potential. I loveworking with colours. If the colour

of the painting is not to mysatisfaction, I keep adjusting ituntil I am happy with the intensityof the colours,” she says.She uses acrylic water paint for

drawing to attain a consistency ofcolour.Pinto also paints T-shirts, mostly

for herself.She has teamed up with Saduma

Miya, managing director ofZiyaduma Promotions, to offerclasses for youths and adults

interested in painting and drawingand the arts in general. Miya alsodisplayed some of Pinto’s paintingsat different arts and culture eventsto promote her work.“When I see paint and brushes, I

start shaking.“I tell my students that I can

draw accurate circles, triangles andrectangles without using a ruler orcompasses. Painting has influencedme emotionally and I fell in lovewith it.”
