A COVID-19 survivor
shares her painful
journey to recovery
dumani moy0
“COVID-19 is so painful that
I do not wish anyone to get
it,” said coronavirus survivor
Khaya Mgodleni. Mgodleni
detailed her painful journey to
recovery from what she described
as a horrible disease that can
have devastating effects, but can
nevertheless be beaten.
For Mgodleni, who works as a
grade seven teacher at a local
school in Cosmo City, the worst
symptoms that she experienced
were a tight chest, back pains and
blood clotting.
“It started as flu until I got some
severe pain in my back,” she said.
“I felt like something was pressing
down my chest, and it was very
difficult to breathe. Sometimes
I felt like I will never wake up
from my bed. It was a very painful
experience.” When she was
confirmed positive, she said, her
school closed in order to curb the
spread of the virus.
“I never thought I would be
infected with COVID-19 because I
was complying with the lockdown
regulations and my temperature
was always low. When I tested
positive, I thought it was the end
of the world. My husband and I
self-isolated in our bedroom while
my husband, who thankfully never
contracted the virus, helped me
with steaming, using Umhlonyane
herbs.”
Mgodleni and her family have
since been adhering to all the
lockdown rules,- following hygiene
protocols at home to help prevent
others from contracting the
disease. Mgodleni said she was
grateful to be able to tell her story
and inspire others to defeat the
virus.
“My family members and
colleagues were very supportive
and they prayed for me from
the day I was admitted to the
hospital,” she said.The virus has
shaped my life; I now appreciate
every moment God gives me. I feel
like I am a conqueror.”
Mgodleni has been involved in
many youth development projects
in Cosmo City and Western Cape,
mainly focusing on theatre and
drama. In 2005, Old Mutual and
SABC2 awarded her for being the
community builder of the year. In
the same year, she traveled to the
USA representing Western Cape
Department of Education in a
cultural exchange.
RULLDTA rebuilds
burnt shacks in Diepsloot
dumani moyo
dumanim@nsabasi-publishing.co.za
“I had nowhere to sleep for
almost a week after my
shack burnt down,” said
Diepsloot resident Nomcebo
Mkhize. “Today I am thankful
to RULLDTA for rebuilding my
home. It had been really difficult
for us.”
Randburg United Local and Long
Distance Transport Association
(RULLDTA) have been assisting
shack fire victims in Diepsloot
community since July.
They rebuilt seven shacks in
Diepsloot’s extension 11, according
to RULLDTA Women’s League
chairperson Phindile Shabangu.
“When one shack gets burnt, more
shacks automatically catch fire,”
she said, “the reason being that
the shacks are too close to each
other in the informal settlement.
However, we managed to leave
more space between the shacks
when we rebuilt them. This will
also help the residents to maintain
social distancing, reducing the
spread of COVID-19.
“It is our duty to give back to
the community,” Shabangu said.
“We will continue helping our
communities especially during
lockdown. People should also
learn to take care of themselves
especially during winter when
more shacks get burnt.”
At RULLDTA, Shabangu said,
they aim to provide help to all
the communities in which they
operate.
As the country continues to
celebrate women’s month,
Shabangu said, it is sad that
women in the taxi industry are
heavily affected by COVID-19.
“Most women in this industry are
widows so it is not easy for them to
survive,” she noted.
“I think the government should
also consider the challenges faced
by women in the transport sector.
This is a global issue and it hits
hard on women in business. As
RULLDTA Women’s League, we
appeal to the communities to fight
against Gender Based Violence
(GBV).”
Zithini, mfana wami Jojo?
Ngigrand, Grootman zikhiphani?
NtSharp, so this is Woman’s Month
chief and you know what that
means right? when they say
stay home.
Yebo Grootman, it means that
we all need to not only respect
our women but appreciate them.
Ja, mfana wami Jojo that

14 families homeless after shacks gutted by fire in Zandspruit
dumani moyo
dumanim@nsabasi-publishing.co.za
A
fire in Zandspruit’s extension 16
gutted the shacks of 14 families on
23 August 2020, leaving the families
homeless. A male culprit caused the
fire by leaving a candle unattended when he
came home drunk past midnight.
The culprit was rushed to hospital with
severe burns on his body. No one died in the
inferno. The fire quickly spread from the
culprit’s shack to six more shacks. Residents
used buckets of water to put out the fire.
“The families lost everything,” said Economic
Freedom Fighters (EFF) PR Councillor
Karabo Ndini. “The sad thing is that the
fire was started by someone under the
influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, he
was also injured, and quickly rushed to
the hospital. We as the EFF are strongly
discouraging the President’s decision to
uplift the ban of alcohol. Many people have
now been affected by the actions of a person
under the influence of alcohol.” Ndini said
EEF is appealing for donations to assist the
unfortunate families.
“We are still trying to find more help for
them through social media,” she said. “We
are thankful for the donations from Disaster
Management. Mmc of Social Development
Cllr Mgcina was informed, and she sent
social workers to assist those who lost
their identity documents. According to the
victims, Ward 114 councillor Victor Mafinya
promised to donate 20 round poles.”

Police have arrested a 48-
year- old-man for allegedly
shooting one man dead the
evening of 15 August 2020
in Diepsloot.
A bullet also hit and injured
a 13-year-old boy, police said.
Reasons for the shooting are still
unknown, according to Diepsloot
police spokesperson Captain
Tinyiko Mathebula.
“An eyewitness, who was with
the deceased on that fateful
night, told the police that two
armed men approached them
and suddenly opened fire on
the deceased without saying any
word,” Captain Mathebula said.
“The eyewitness further alleges
that as he ran away from the
scene, he recognized one suspect,”
Mathebula said. “The suspect
chased him while firing shots at
him but he escaped unscathed.
When the eyewitness returned
to the scene of the shooting, he
found the deceased lying in a pool
of blood with multiple gunshots to
his head. The victim was declared
dead by emergency personnel on
the scene.”
After the eyewitness provided the
police with information about the
suspect’s whereabouts, Mathebula
said, police wasted no time acting
on the information,resulting in the
suspect’s arrest.
“The second suspect is still at large
and police request assistance with
information that can lead to the
arrest of this suspect. Anyone with
information can contact Diepsloot
police at 011 367 6300 or contact
Crime Stop number: 08600 10111.
Investigations are still underway,”
the Captain said.
Captain Mathebula said that they
are working hard to combat crime
in the communities as the country
enters level 2 lockdown.
In another development, police
arrested a 27-year-old woman on 19
August for allegedly assaulting six
children with an electric cord for
stealing her laundry detergents.
The suspect reportedly whipped
the children with the cord several
times after they had played with
her Sta-Soft.
“We understand that the suspect
locked the kids in a room,
instructed them to undress and
whipped them with the cord,” said
Mathebula. “The victims sustained
injuries on their bodies. We would
like to encourage parents not to
take the law into their own hands.
All cases of child abuse must be
reported to the police. The police
are strongly condemning child
abuse.”
The suspect has been charged
and will appear in the Randburg
magistrate court. Crime Prevention
members continue to do their
best to reduce house robberies
and crime in Diepsloot, captain
Mathebula said.
SASSA CEO Totsie Memela
Change your SASSA grant
payment method next week
Tuesday, August 25, 2020
SASSA will reopen its system
for approved applicants
to change their preferred
method of payment for the
special COVID-19 Social Relief of
Distress Grant (SRD).
SASSA CEO Totsie Memela
announced that the window
period for preferred method of
payment is scheduled for Monday,
31 August 2020 to Sunday, 06
September 2020, 24 hours a day.
“During this period, beneficiaries
can change from receiving
their grants at the post office
to receiving them through their
personal bank accounts. They
may also change from one bank to
another if they prefer to,” Memela
said on Tuesday.
Approved beneficiaries of the
grant can change their payment
method by visiting https://srd.
sassa.gov.za during this period.
This development is an effort
to address challenges some
beneficiaries have experienced in
trying to access their special relief
grant from the Post Offices.
She said it is important for
beneficiaries to understand that
they should not go to the Post
Office before they have received
the SMS notification that says
funds are available.
“The SMS notification is used
to limit the numbers of people
reporting to a Post Office on a
particular day and also to ensure
that sufficient cash is available,”
Memela said.
When choosing a bank account,
Memela said beneficiaries should
ensure the account is in their name.
SASSA cannot pay money for one
person into an account held by
another or if the bank account is
closed.
“The payment process is delayed if
money is sent to a closed account, as
SASSA has to wait for the funds to
be returned before sending it to the
Post Office for collection. Clients
who update their details are advised
to ensure that their information
is captured correctly to avoid any
further delays,” Memela explained.
The payment of the COVID-19
grant is quicker if paid into a bank
account, and applicants without
bank accounts are encouraged
therefore to open accounts.
“There are many entry level,
inexpensive options on the market
– some of which can be opened
online. Clients who have just been
approved for the relief grant by
SASSA and have received an SMS to
upload and verify their bank details
can do so at any time and need not
Sales/Advertising email: your request to: cosmo@nsabasi-publishing.co.za or fax to 086 550 8886
wait for the window period.
“The sooner the details are
uploaded, the quicker the payments
can be made,” Memela said.
Cash transfer
The CEO announced that clients
who opted to receive their special
COVID-19 SRD grant through cash
transfer will get their August 2020
payment through this preferred
method.
“They must ensure that the cell
phone numbers they provided to
SASSA to receive payments, are
registered in their own names
and not names of other people
like relatives or neighbours. It is
mandatory that the cell phone
number should have gone through
the RICA (Communication-Related
Information Act) process in order
for payment to be done through it.
“Any citizen who does not update
their information during this
window period, or who provides
incorrect banking details will have
the payments for the remaining
months sent through to the Post
Office,” Memela explained.

Basic Education Minister Angie
Motshekga has launched Woza
Matrics, a free-to-air television
initiative aimed at supporting
the matric learners of 2020 following
disruptions caused by COVID-19. The 12-
week Woza Matrics campaign will start on 1
September 2020 and will support Grade 12
learners in the build-up to their final matric
exams by providing quality educational
content.
Subjects covered by Woza Matrics include
Maths, Life Sciences, Geography, Physical
Science, Accounting, Economics, Maths
Literacy, English First Additional Language,
History and Business Studies. Woza Matrics
will be broadcast on SABC 3, on all DStv
packages and on Openview (Channel 122)
from 8:00 - 10:00 and 13:00 - 15:00, seven
days a week. It will also be available for free
on the DStv Now Catch up app.
A wide-reaching communications campaign
will ensure learners, parents and teachers
across the country know exactly where to
find the subject and content they need each
week. A link to support materials will also
be made available on 1 September 2020.
While all learners have lost school time,
this is most acutely felt by Grade 12s,
where marks are important for career and
university choices and where the content
to be covered is fixed and externally
examined.
Woza Matrics is led by the DBE, assisted
by the National Education Collaboration
Trust and developed in collaboration
with the South African Broadcasting
Corporation (SABC), Multichoice and
eMedia Investments, as well as with a
number of educational content providers
national news
Woza Matrics provides free TV
based support for learners
including Digicampus, Mindset and Monyetla
Trust, the Programme for Improved Learning
Outcomes (PILO), and other educationalists.
“This initiative has come at the right time
when we are working to get schooling back
on track. Matric is always stressful but 2020
has been filled with unusual stresses. I want
to congratulate all our Grade 12 learners
and their families for the perseverance and
determination.
“It is abundantly clear that additional support
is required for learners and we will continue
to provide this. There are a few months left
before the end of the year and Woza Matrics
will give learners the support they need
to prepare for the final exams,” said the
Minister. Motshekga conveyed a message of
gratitude to all the partners and sponsors
for the role they have played in the
development of the programme and availing
their platforms for education purposes,
particularly for Grade 12 learners.
“I am most grateful to SABC, Multichoice
and eMedia Investments, who have so
generously made their broadcast networks
and expertise available to Woza Matrics;
and to the content providers including
DigiCampus, Mindset and Monyetla Trust,

who have shared all their excellent content
with Woza Matrics,” Motshekga said.
As partner of the Woza Matrics campaign,
the SABC said their role is not only a social
responsibility but a commitment to fulfil
a constitutional mandate of delivering
content that is intended to restore the
dignity of the South African citizens.
“As the SABC, we are pleased to be one
of the key role players in saving the 2020
matric year through the Woza matric
campaign. Education forms an integral part
of our mandate, and it is for this reason that
we have availed our platforms to advance
the education agenda in our country.
“As a public service broadcaster, we
are duty-bound to ensure that our
content includes a significant amount of
educational programmes, particularly
during a period when it is most needed,”
said SABC GCEO Madoda Mxakwe. Of their
involvement in the campaign, MultiChoice
Group CEO for General Entertainment and
Connected Video, Yolisa Phahle, said they
are committed to ensure that they minimise
the impact on youth by empowering them
through knowledge and skills.
eMedia Investments CEO Khalik Sherrif
said the positive impact of Woza Matrics
2020 will be realised when the matriculants
of this year receive their National Senior
Certificates timeously.
“Congratulations to all stakeholders
involved in Woza Matrics 2020, an initiative
that is sorely needed in a year in which
normal or expected behaviour and activity
have been altered by COVID-19,” said

Rose and Roses: A movement to

Rose and Roses founder Roseline Molefe
“I got divorced because I could not
bear children,” said Roseline Molefe
the founder of the Rose and Roses
movement, which aims to empower
under privileged women and the disabled.
Molefe still believes that through God
everything is possible, and it is never too late.
“With or without children, there is need to
take care of the disadvantaged, especially
the girl child,” Molefe said. Out of her love
for children, she said, she invested in film
production equipment to give exposure to
talented children in the communities through
drama and documentaries. “The aim is to
help them shape their future,” she said.
“Underprivileged women need to be inspired
to build safe communities. We also want to
create opportunities for disabled community
members to achieve their goals.”
Rose and Roses is based in Brits community,
Molefe said, and they want to change people’s
lives through film production in places like
Cosmo City, Diepsloot and Zandspruit.
“Young people should utilise their talents,”
she said. “They should learn how to generate
income using their talent. We are working
hand in hand with pastors to encourage
community members to work together and
embrace the spirit of UBUNTU. I also want
to create a good business network with
women in the north of Johannesburg.”
Before becoming a business woman,
Molefe said, she used to sell food for school
children.
Molefe also runs a construction company.

WHO urges countries to sign COVID-19 vaccine pact

forced to pull one last job, they team
up to rescue her over the course of an
action-packed night
Enola Holmes
Tuesday, August 25, 2020
The World Health Organisation (WHO)
has urged countries to desist from the
nationalisation of COVID-19 vaccines
and has requested that they join a
vaccine pact. The call from WHO comes
as countries across the world race to find a
vaccine for COVID-19.
sourced Image
Following a letter to all member states
requesting them to join the vaccine arm of
the Act-Accelerator, WHO Director General
Tedros Ghebreyesus announced that 172
countries have signed up to COVAX Global
Vaccines Facility. The facility is a critical
mechanism for joint procurement and pooling
risk across multiple vaccines so that whatever
vaccine is proven to be safe and effective –
all countries within the facility will be able
to access them. The facility has both the
largest and most diverse COVID-19 vaccine
portfolio in the world. “New research outlines
that global competition for vaccine doses
could lead to prices spiking exponentially in
comparison to a collaborative effort such as
the COVAX Facility.
“It would also lead to a prolonged pandemic
as only a small number of countries would get
most of the supply. Vaccine nationalism only
helps the virus,” said Ghebreyesus. Presently,
there are nine vaccines that are part of this
dynamic portfolio; which is constantly being
reviewed and optimised to ensure access to
the best possible range of products.
“Even now discussions are ongoing with four
more producers and a further nine vaccines
are currently under evaluation for the longer
term,” said Ghebreyesus. The success of the
COVAX Facility hinges not only on countries
signing up to it, but also filling key funding
gaps for both the research and development
work and to support lower-income economies
within the facility.
“Investing in the COVAX Facility is the
fastest way to end this pandemic and ensure
a sustainable economic recovery,” said the
WHO DG. Through the allocation framework,
COVAX will ensure that low-, middle- and
high-income countries all receive the vaccine
in a timely way as soon as there is supply of
a safe and effective vaccine. Initially, when
there will be limited supply, WHO said those
at highest risk around the world will receive
the vaccine. This includes health workers, as
they are on the frontlines in this pandemic
and critical to saving lives and stabilising the
overall health system.
It also includes people over 65 years old and
those with certain diseases that put them
at higher risk of dying from COVID-19.
As supply increases, the next stage of
the vaccine rollout would be expanded
based on an assessment of each country’s
vulnerability to the virus. “A number of
vaccines are now in the final stage of clinical
trials and we all hope we will have multiple
successful candidates that are both safe
and effective. “In order to be able to secure
enough doses to rollout the vaccines, the
next step for the partnership is for countries
to make binding commitments in support of
the COVAX Facility,” said Ghebreyesus.
While funds have already been committed
towards the COVAX Facility, WHO said
more is urgently needed to continue to
move the portfolio forward. The goal of the
mechanism is to deliver at least two billion
doses of safe, effective vaccines by the end
of 2021. – SAnews.gov.za

Brand loyalty lets Mitsubishi
customers return
August/25/ 2020

CAPE TOWN.
Mitsubishi Motors South Africa
dealerships experience an influx of
returning customers, highlighting a
kind of customer loyalty envied by
many of its competitors.
“They keep on coming back thanks to
our quality vehicles, and many are kept
in families for many years,” says Nic
Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi
Motors South Africa. This was evident at
most of the 40 dealerships all over South
Africa when the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
1.5 TURBO proved to be the most popular
model since its launch.
“Here at our dealership the Triton pick-up
was most popular during lockdown, but
after we have returned in May customers
are also opting for the ASX as well,” says
Mark Africa, Dealer Principal at Mitsubishi
Motors Paarden Eiland.
New Vehicle Sales Manager Charl Smit, who
has been at the dealership since inception,
says the quality of all Mitsubishi models
is key to loyal customers staying with the
brand.
“Mitsubishi is one of the brands in South
Africa that experiences the highest return
business in the country – once a customer
has owned a Mitsubishi, many of them come
back to upgrade or expand their Mitsubishi
experience. Smit says the Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation in Japan and Mitsubishi
Motors South Africa supply “outstanding
quality products” and as it operates in a
niche market, customers appreciate the fact
that the model range offers “something for
everybody” without flooding them with
choices.
“We have a very loyal following. It is
unbelievable,” says the veteran Sales Manager
.As the first contact between MMSA and
Mitsubishi owners, the sales staff have a close
relationship with existing customers.
“We have a lasting relationship with them and
many return to buy a second and even a third
vehicle for their family, passing the older
models on to adult children,” recalls Smit.
Another kind of loyal customer are people
who have owned a Mitsubishi “for years”.
“One of Mitsubishi Paarden Eiland’s most
loyal customers is an older lady who bought a
Pajero LWB a few years ago. Her vehicle has
done over 800 000 km and she still brings it
back for each and every scheduled service.”
Africa says many customers “upgrade” their
vehicles as they progress in life. “Many then
keep their ‘old’ vehicle and buy another,
bigger model, and, as we have experience
with many families, eventually pass it on to
their children or family.”

Sports minister criticised by sale sharks boss
GALLO Images Edited
South African Minister for Sports, Arts and Culture
South Africa’s Minister for Sports,
Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa,
has come under fire from Sale Sharks
Director of Rugby, Steve Diamond.
That’s after the latter urged Mthethwa to
focus on ‘his own job’.
Mthethwa has received loads of backlash
after it was revealed that he had approached
SA Rugby for ‘clarity’ over the failure of a
host of players who failed to ‘take a knee’
in support of the #BLM movement before
Premiership matches in England. Players
wore T-shirts supporting the fight against
racism under the campaign ‘Rugby Against
Racism’.
However, 11 Sale Sharks players chose to
remain standing – with eight being South
Africans, namely Coenie Oosthuizen, Akker
van der Merwe, Jean-Luc du Preez, Lood de
Jager, captain Jono Ross, Dan du Preez, Faf
de Klerk and Rob du Preez.
The eight were joined by England centre
Manu Tuilagi, Welsh prop WillGriff John
and Scotland wing Byron McGuignon.
Sale Sharks were back in action on Friday
against log-leader Exter Chiefs. And this
time England’s Tuilagi took a knee, while all
eight South Africans in the starting line-up
opted to stand.
Speaking after the 32-22 defeat, Diamond
defended his players’ decision.
“If the South African sports minister is
anything like the UK sports minister, he
should concentrate on his own job and do
what’s right there and not get involved in
other areas,” he said.
“Sport across the world has shown its
faith and commitment to Blacks Live
Matter, whether it’s by wearing a T-shirt of
whether it’s taking a knee. Taking a knee
is everybody’s choice and I don’t think
the politicians should get involved, they
normally make a mess when they do, so just
leave it to us and the lads and let them have
their own opinion.”-SportsIndustry
Kugandrie govender
appointed csa
acting ceo
The Board of Cricket South Africa
has announced the appointment of
Kugandrie Govender as Acting Chief
Executive Officer.
“She is a multifaceted executive leader
with more than 23 years’ experience in
the corporate sector and currently holds
the position of Chief Commercial Officer
at Cricket South Africa,” said Acting
President, Beresford Williams. “We believe
that Kugandrie is the right person to drive
the organization forward during this
period.”
“CSA’s mandate is to ensure that cricket
is an inclusive sporting code for all South
Africans. It is important to improve our
reputation both locally and internationally.
This is a critical time for our organisation
and crucial for key stakeholders to work
together to improve the rating of cricket
among those who love, support, and follow
the sport, and those who have trust in the
sport’s ability to unify all South Africans.
We will work hard to improve the levels
of pride amongst our stakeholders and I
am humbled to be a part of the collective
that commits itself to ensure that CSA is
a federation of which South Africans are
proud,” said Govender.
This follows Jacques Faul stepping down as
Acting CEO, just hours after confirmation
that the organisation’s President, Chris
Nenzani, had also resigned.
Williams is acting as President until after
the CSA AGM on 5 September.
Faul’s exit added to the turbulent situation
the organisation finds itself in after COO
Naasei Appiah was fired, despite winning
an appeal against his early dismissal.
