All work and no play

As we already reported, a major step towards recreation was the purchase of a portion of the farm Elandsfontein on behalf of the Reading Country Club. This too was a product of its time. There was a swimming-pool and dance-hall at the Windsor Park Country Club, which was taken over by the Health Committee in 1934 and later renamed Grewar Park, and the Golf Club in Germiston. But National Socialism in Germany was growing more aggressive, and repercussions were felt across the world. An Alberton resident who applied to join the Germiston Golf Club was refused because he happened to be Jewish. And so the Reading Country Club came into being, initiated by a determined group of Jewish businessmen who wanted nothing more than a bit of relaxation and some healthy exercise.Another first on the leisure front was the Cinema erected by Mr Joffee.No more scraping of uncomfortable wooden folding chairs in the Town Hall – this was a touch of Hollywood luxury for young Alberton. For the duration of World War II the entire takings from Wednesday matinees was donated to Child Welfare.A great excitement was the opening of the municipal swimming pool (bordering on 2nd Avenue, Florentia) on 13 October 1951. The Alberton Swimming Club had been established in 1957 under the capable leadership of Walter Bosworth, managing director of Bosworth Engineering. Up till 1951, the only swimming-pool in town was in the grounds of the Newmarket Hotel

in Voortrekker Road, and the swimming club made use of the Simmer & Jack gold mine near Germiston.While the swimming pool was intended to be opened on 1 September, the contractors were still busy finishing off the pavilion and change room, postponing the opening date.Concession rates were available for school children and members of the swimming club.In 1958 the City Council decided to run a three month experiment. On Thursdays, between 13:00 and 15:00, only females were permitted to use the pool.

The idea was not very successful. Women preferred to swim with their families, husband and sons included.

Dogs enjoy a great adventureThe SPCA Adventure Walk is an event hosted by SPCA’s in the Ekurhuleni region twice a year. The most recent Adventure Walk was held on Saturday 5 April in Boksburg. The objective is to create public awareness around the SPCA brand, and they use these opportunities to educate and inform the public of challenges that the SPCA deal with on a daily basis. The SPCA also has a registered Veterinary Surgeon on site to assist the public with any questions that they might have. This also serves as an opportunity for supporters to donate small items and food for all the animals that the SPCA cares for on a daily basis. The event was attended by close to 150 dogs and their owners. To raise funds a small entry fee was charged and food and soft drinks were on sale. All services were either donated or volunteers from the various SPCA’s assisted in helping. This assists the SPCA greatly as all funds raised on the day will go directly to the animals in need. Photos and more details on the event can be

viewed on the SPCA Adventure Dog Walk Facebook page.For more information about the next Adventure Walk contact the organiser Ann Martin on 082 909 5612.

The Easter feeling is most definitely in the air. Everywhere you look you see easter bunnies and chocolate eggs. But I would really like to encourage people to remember what Easter is actually about and the importance of spending this time with family and loved ones. Please travel safe when on the roads over the long weekend. On page 8 of this issue we also have some tips on keeping your house safe. Thank you for reading tame TIMES, we certainly enjoy keeping you company each week.

Helpende Hand Alberton-tak het onlangs twee leerders uit die Alberton-gemeenskap bygestaan deur middel van die Bemagtig-‘n-Kind Projek.Die tak het in Maart ‘n belowende jong sportspeler geborg en vir ‘n entoesiastiese laerskoolleerder van ‘n skooltassie, vol skryfbehoeftes en nuwe skoolklere voorsien.Die Bemagtig-‘n-Kind projek is ‘n nasionale Helpende Hand projek wat ten doel het om finansiële ondersteuning aan behoeftige kinders in die gemeenskap te bied, en dit is tot dusver ‘n groot sukses. Die projek is suksesvol sedert sy ontstaan. Helpende Hand het deur middel van die projek verlede jaar 461 kinders regoor die land finansieel ondersteun; hetsy deur ekstra wiskundeklasse, arbeidsterapie of om deelname aan sport of ‘n sporttoer moontlik te maak.Volgens die Alberton-tak voorsitter, Judi Muller, vorder die tak se projekte goed, danksy gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid: “Die tak is onlangs aangewys as tak van die maand in die Gauteng-Suid streek. Ons is dankbaar vir die ondersteuning van die gemeenskap.” Die Helpende Hand Alberton-tak glo in die aanspreek van armoede deur verligting-, voorkoming en verbrekingsprojekte.

Skakel gerus vir Johan Olivier by 083 457 8009 vir meer inligting of om by die tak se projekte betrokke te raak.

Senior citizens host successful fundraiser

The Palmridge Senior Citizen’s Club hosted their first annual golf day on Sunday 6 April at the Reading Country Club in Alberton.The purpose of the event was to raise funds to purchase a new minibus for the club and also funding for the various programmes that the club is involved in. This was their first ever big fundraiser, and it was a great success.The Palmridge Senior Citizen’s Club is a registered Non-Profit Organisation and in 2014 they will be celebrating a great milestone of 25 years in existence. The main mission of the organisation is to promote active aging and encourage senior citizens to interact with one another and stay healthy.One of the programmes that the organisation is involved in is the establishment of a Multi-purpose centre in Palmridge.

The Ekurhuleni Municipality has agreed to build the Multi-purpose centre that will essentially be used for, what they call “cradle to grave” facilities eg, a crèche for young children, pensioner pay point, weekly meeting place for senior citizens to interact with one another as well as keep them stimulated by doing arts and crafts, handiwork, sewing etc.“On behalf of the organisation, we would like to thank Mr Sarvesh Govender, who has been appointed the official fundraiser in November 2013. We would also like to thank everyone that assisted in organising our fundraising Golf day,” said Vigie Moodley, Programme Manager for the Palmridge Senior Citizen’s Club.For more information on the organisation, contact Vigie Moodley on 076 684 8756.

Die Knitter Natters is ‘n groepie dames tussen die ouderdom van ongeveer 55 en 90 wat voluit leef vir een doel- liefdadigheid. Die Knitter Natters samel al sedert die 1980s vrywillig vanuit die Tweedy Park aftree-oord in Brakpan fondse in vir CANSA en Hospice. Hierdie dames het verlede jaar alleen R55 665 ingesamel en alles net so vir liefdadigheid geskenk.Die Knitter Natters kom elke Woensdag bymekaar om allerande items te brei, van komberse en serpe tot kussings. “Wat ons hande kan doen, doen ons,” sê die groepie se 90-jarige leidster: Catharine Coetzer. Hoewel die groepie hoofsaaklik brei, het hulle baie ander inisiatiewe van stapel gestuur om verdere fondse in te samel: die

dames brei tans ‘n blokkieskombers vir ‘n lootjie-trek kompetisie, en van die dames verkoop ook pannekoeke om bykomende fondse in te samel. Die dames ontvang ook talle skenkings vanuit die publiek waarmee hulle ‘n “wit olifanttafel” verkoopsdag hou. Die groepie skenk al vir die afgelope agt jaar fondse aan die CANSA Alberton-tak om kankerlyers te ondersteun. Catharine het 11 familielede aan kanker-verwante siektes verloor en sy glo dat dit die groepie se roeping is om ander mense wat deur dieselfde pyn gaan, te help: “Dit kom uit my hart uit. Ek weet wat die woord kanker beteken. Dit is waaraan ek so vasbyt; ek het ‘n doel,” vertel sy. Volgens Erika Marais, ‘n suster by CANSA Alberton-tak, beteken die dames se bydrae vir hulle oneindig baie en

sy wil graag ietsie soortgelyks in Alberton begin: “Die feit is dat CANSA altyd vrywillige werkers sal benodig in ons gemeenskappe om behoeftiges te help. Hulle is verseker CANSA se ruggraat. Ons waardeer die Knitter Natters, sowel as enige ander individu wat CANSA ondersteun.”

Hot off the pressHaving proudly just entered my 5th year cycle with tame TIMES, my ‘runner’ team and I have delivered 2,160,000 papers in the Brackendowns - Ext 5 - Brackenhurst and the Albertsdal area alone.My pro-active wife Elsie, has ensured a balanced lunch pack for each of the group’s runners for the same period –15, 336 fresh and wholesome hampers with the complements of tame TIMES.This free issue service doesn’t come easy, with the rain, hail and odd snow, and not leaving out the papers nicked from boxes by vagrants, school children and from homes by domestics, builders and gardeners. tame TIMES is beyond any doubts the paper in demand.

Thank you tame TIMESSusan Wright writes:

The entire Wright family would like to thank tame TIMES for sponsoring our youngest son Alexander to the tune of 5 months school fees. Having twins in Matric this year, the budget was bound to be tight and this generous gesture has certainly eased things quite a bit. Alexander was rather overwhelmed at the birthday function, but after seeing his name and photo in print, he is relishing every moment of his 15 minutes of fame. Our twins were also pupils at Kenton and the family has a long history with the school going back some 25 years. I consider it to be the best school in the area (I am somewhat biased) and Mrs Young , the Principal who joined us at the tame TIMES birthday party is one of the most fantastic people that I know. Thank you tame TIMES, Waltons, all the sponsors and Alexander for arriving early and being the best April Fools joke ever.

Tekkie Tax is a national fundraising campaign for a proud group of welfare organisations in SA, who came together to form a bigger campaign.

Members of the public are encouraged to get a Tekkie Tax sticker for a R10 donation. There are 5 different stickers, each representing a beneficiary sector; Animals, Basic Family Care, Children, Disability or Education. Depending on where your heart lies, you can choose which of the 5 sectors you would like to support when buying your sticker/s.Supporters of the campaign will show their support by wearing the stickers and their tekkies on Friday, 30 May 2014. Special shoelaces called “Tekkie Tags” are also available to for supporters who want to go the extra mile and make sure tekkies are proud to be seen in public.

Choose your beneficiary. There are 5 different sectors of welfare organisations to choose from. Decide which one (or more) lies closest to your heart and obtain a sticker which represents that group – R10 donation per sticker. Visit our website for the detailed list of beneficiaries in each sector.Wear your sticker on your t-shirt, wedding gown or your designer suit – whatever you will be wearing on Friday, 30 May – and display the mini sticker on your cellphone for the rest of the year.

Feed a hungry child

Everyday people are bombarded by organisations and other people asking for money. Unfortunately it is the reality of the day and age that we live in. KFC Hope to Hunger has a Feed a Child project whereby they ask the public to donate R2 with any meal that they buy from KFC. The CMR Alberton annually receives a donation from KFC Hope to Hunger, which enables them to feed approximately 1600 children per day. Without these donations it will not be possible to do so. It is hard to believe that 6km from Alberton City Centre there are children that do not have anything to eat except the meal that they get at school. Some of these little children take half of the meal home for siblings to eat or for themselves to eat later in the day. Since the feeding scheme started at the school, there has been a significant improvement in the children’s performances at school.So when you stop at the KFC again, and the cashier asks you if you would like to donate R2, please do not hesitate as this money really goes for a good cause. If you would like any further information please contact Ankia at 011 907 2922

Paasfees is die hoogtepunt van die Christen liturgiese jaar. Dit is die fees wat elkeen wat Jesus as Here bely oorweldig met die reddende handeling van Jesus se kruisdood en opstanding. Paasfees is rede vir ‘n oorvloed van vreugde by hulle wat die verlossing ken.Op ‘n manier is Paasfees ‘n geleentheid wat

deur meer as net die Christendom belangrik geag word. Vir my is dit ‘n fees wat die Christendom en Jodedom bietjie nader aan mekaar bring. Ons Joodse vriende vier in hierdie tyd Pesag en, baie vereenvoudig, is dit ‘n fees wat gedenk dat die Here vir Sy volk ‘n nuwe begin gegee het.As Christen deel ons in die nuwe begin wat Pesag bring, met die verskil dat Jesus die paaslam was wat geslag is. Sy lewensbloed maak vir my en jou ook ‘n nuwe begin moontlik. Ek bid dat jy in hierdie Paastyd ‘n vreugdevolle fees sal vier. Gryp die nuwe begin aan, week in die wete dat die genade van God die hoogste prys betaal het sodat jy ook aan Sy tafel mag aansit.

Jittetjie tog, hierdie Pistorius-saak is omtrent boeiend. Gysie rol al sy oë wanneer ek die tv-kontrole by hom vat, want hy weet presies watter kanaal ek gaan kies.Daar is nou al soveel nuwe fasette van die saak geopenbaar gedurende Pistorius se kruisondervraging, maar hai wee jy, ek weet wraggies nie wie of wat om te glo nie. Ek wil nie teveel tyd spandeer om te spekuleer oor waar moontlike leemtes of waarhede in die saak sit nie, want wie is ons om te sê wat nie eers daar was nie? Ek wil eerder gesels oor die kwessie van vuurwapens. Dit is vir my verregaande dat mense vandag sommer so gemaklik met jag-vuurwapens kan rondloop. Ek begryp dat ons in ‘n land woon waar die ruwe werklikheid van roof en misdaad altyd dreig, maar as die wette en regulasies rondom vuurwapens nie streng is nie, dan maak mense makliker duur ongelukke. Ek glo as niemand vuurwapens besit het nie, sou daar nie soveel skietmoorde gewees het nie; hetsy nou per ongeluk, of doelbewus. Maar hoe maak ‘n mens nou? Besit ‘n mens geen vuurwapens nie, dan kan jy jouself dalk nie verdedig indien daar ernstige gevaar is nie. En as ‘n mens ‘n vuurwapen wel besit, kan dit weer te maklik misbruik word. Tip: Hierdie week wil ek ‘n vraag vra: Is dit beter om streng rëels rakende vuurwapenbesit in plek te stel, of nie? Is dit net ‘n kwessie van verantwoordelike gebruik daarvan? Of is die nagevolge van vuurwapenmisbruik bloot net te ernstig om kanse te vat?

Baie geluk leola Meyertame TIMES wens Leola Meyer, eienaar van Alzu Weltmeyer Stables, baie geluk met die geboorte van haar kleinseun Johan wat op Sondag 13 April gebore is. Johan is 3 weke prematuur gebore en weeg ‘n gesonde 2.7kg.

Modelling intern ventures In February this year, Tieghan Griffin-Coetzer was chosen as the intern for the alberton Figures modelling agency for 2014. As part of her Internship, Tieghan had to develop new and exciting ideas to create awareness about her Internship and ideas to market the Modelling Agency that chose her for this important role. She initiated a free Easter Hamper draw throughout Alberton and the surrounding areas, at crèches, schools and shopping centres. This venture has been very successful and she did all the draws personally. Tieghan also promoted her internship by delivering pamphlets to several businesses in the area, willing to support her Intern role. She would like to thank them all for their involvement and enthusiasm. Tieghan is a vibrant, outgoing 10 year old who loves interacting with people, and enjoys the modelling immensely. She has participated in several shows and did a photoshoot for advertising agencies. The Intern Finalist Show will be held on 17 May in Roodepoort and hopefully all her hard work will pay off. If Tieghan wins, she will receive a sponsored trip to New York in July to IMTA where all the top talent agencies get together. She is so excited to be part of this wonderful venture.

Sy enigste wens: ‘n mooi glimlagvandat hy ‘n klein seuntjie is, lei alex Jenkinson (19) aan epilepsie. Die medikasie wat hy deur al die jare moes gebruik het egter veroorsaak dat sy tande reuse absesse vorm en hy ondraaglike pyn ervaar.Alex is ‘n werknemer by die Caltex vulstasie in Florentia, waar hy aanvanklik net uitgehelp het terwyl daar stakings was, maar sy goeie en vriendelike diens het daartoe gelei dat hy nou permanent aangestel is.Hy is egter nie in ‘n bevoorregte posisie om ‘n medies te kan bekostig nie, en kan daarom nie ‘n tandarts besoek om sy tande te versorg nie. “Ek wil mense net graag met ‘n vriendelike smile kan groet wanneer hulle hier is,” het Alex gesê. Ons rig ‘n versoek aan enige iemand wat op ‘n manier vir Alex kan help, hetsy met finansiële bydraes of ‘n vrywillige tandarts besoek. Alex se tande sal verwyder moet word en hy sal kunstande moet ontvang. Kontak Elize van der Ryst op 084 581 4099 of besoek hulle by die Caltex vulstasie in Florentia.

Preventing housebreaking and theft:Know all emergency numbers. Keep your cell phone in the bedroom.Never leave keys in a gate or lock.The locks on the outside doors should be changed when you move into a new home or after keys have been lost or stolen. Mail left in the gate is also a sign that nobody is home. Get a friend or neighbour to keep a regular eye on your property and to remove mail and newspapers.Use lights to your advantage: Lights that are on inside while it is dark outside put you at a disadvantage. Lights that are on outside when it dark inside allow you to observe what is going on without being seen yourself. Curtains should be closed after dark to prevent suspects from observing the activities inside the home.Never leave workers or contractors unattended in your home.Do not leave ladders standing aroundConduct thorough background checks before employing anyone (permanent or casual workers). Request their identity document and make a copy for safekeeping. Check their references and for security clearances at the police.

Be careful what is discussed in front of staff. Don’t leave your garage, front or back door open or partially open – it serves as an invitation to burglars.

Alberton SAPS crime prevention safety tips

Women all around the Alberton area are being targeted as victims for smash and grab incidents. The Brackendowns SAPS would like to urge all women to lock their valuables in the boot while driving. Be aware of what your whereabouts are and pay attention to pedestrians and other cars around you.

Last week the EFF announced that member, Wiekus Kotze, had been arrested for fraud in Alberton.Economic Freedom Fighters’ Gauteng spokesperson Patrick Sindane said that members of the party would support Kotze when he appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrates’ Court later on Thurday. “We view this as nothing but the abuse of state machinery and power by certain individuals to settle political scores,” he said.Wiekus Kotze told tame TIMES on Friday that he was arrested under false accusations and that the case was dismissed on Thursday afternoon. “I was at an elections debate on RSG radio on Wednesday morning where I discussed the ANC. The debate ended at 09:00, and at 11:00 I was arrested, I have my suspicions about that,” Wiekus said. “We are in the elections term now and political parties are competing.”Captain Mofokeng from the SAPS Provinsial Offices however confirmed that Wiekus was arrested on Wednesday for fraud and appeared in Palm Ridge Court on Friday.Wiekus Kotze was not available to confirm his court appearance or give further comments.

CPF Alberton Crime Prevention Tips

Going Away During The April Holidays - Follow These Simple Steps

Someone empties your post box on a regular basis

Report the period of absence to the CPF Patrollers

Inform your neighbours, and request them to be on the lookout for suspicious people walking around in the area

Remove valuable or attractive items from view through windows

You may also persuade a friend to keep your lawn neatly mowed and perhaps park a car in your driveway from time to time

Do not close curtains or blinds during the day, as they are a dead giveaway

See to it that your garage door is fitted with a strong lock

Bolt external doors and remove all keys from locks

Don’t publicise your break-away plansRequest neighbours, a friend to put your dustbin/s

out on collecting days (they can put some of their garbage or junk mail in your dustbin)

If in doubt about the safety of an area, phone the police and CPF for advice

Never leave smaller valuable items as jewellery, watches, portable radios, clothing, cameras or purses on an inside ledge or within arm’s length of open windows. Not even if you have burglar bars

A dark house is a signal that you are out, use a timer for your lights, radio or TV, to give your apartment an occupied sound of look

Sliding glass doors offer access if they are not properly secured. To prevent the door lifted off the track, drill a hole through the sliding door frame and the fixed frame, insert a pin or a safety catch

Ensure that you test your alarm before you depart on holiday, don’t wait till the day before, in case the alarm needs repairing.

Cell C:Powerful vision for girl children

The phenomenal success of Cell C’s Take a Girl Child to Work Day® campaign, which takes place for the 12th time since its launch in 2003, has prompted the mobile network operator to launch a pilot mentorship programme called Girl Child Institute of Mentorship (GCIM). GCIM, under the patronage of Cheryl Carolus, involves a network of 35 leading business women and Cell C female executives, who will pledge their time and support to high achieving Grade 12 female learners. Cell C has partnered with the Adopt-A-School Foundation to assist in finding these learners from across South Africa. The mentorship programme will also extend to the bursary students on Cell C’s Girl Child Bursary programme. It will add depth and longevity to the Take a Girl Child to Work Day® programme. Instead of the girls experiencing

a day in the business world, they will now be in a 12-month programme under the guidance of a mentor. Cell C has a powerful vision. It believes strong, smart, young girls with leadership qualities will one day produce a future where women will be vibrant contributors to the economy and leading job creators for South Africans. Jose Dos Santos, acting CEO of Cell C said, “We believe that we can do so much more for young people in this country. Take a Girl Child to Work Day® has exceeded all our expectations. We are humbled by the support we receive from Corporate South Africa, Government and Civil Society. However, we believe that we can take it to a new level and have a meaningful impact on more young women through the launch of this institute.” Cell C’s long term vision, once it has piloted the programme, is for the Institute of Mentorship to create opportunities for successful and inspirational women leaders in SA, to join the movement and volunteer their time and skills and make their own contribution to young female learners in this country. The idea of an institute was borne out of businesswoman and former politician Cheryl Carolus’s vision to ensure that women not only pay it forward in the workplace but reach out to children who have the potential to be someone and achieve great things. The Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day® campaign celebrates its 12th anniversary this year and will take place on 29 May, utilising the theme: “Dream, Believe, Achieve”. Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day® is targeted at Grade 10 to 12 South African girl learners, giving them the opportunity to visit a place of work and to experience at first-hand, the “world of work” and the various career opportunities available in the industry and within the public service sectors. More than 50 000 young people are expected to benefit this year as hundreds of companies around the country participate in this ground-breaking project.

11 days of action-packed family funSouth Africa’s biggest consumer show, Rand Show, is gearing up for another bumper entertainment extravaganza. Get ready for 11 action-packed days of family fun because it’s showtime.Masses of performers are gathering to bring 11 days of magic, excitement and fun to the stages, arenas and halls of this year’s Rand Show.There are stunt-car drivers flying in from Italy, and a winter wonderland of snow with South Africa’s longest-ever indoor ice toboggan slide being trucked up from Cape Town.The world’s most recognisable science geek – the Naked Scientist – has already booked his ticket out of London, while South Africa’s strongest men are getting pumped for a qualifier of epic proportions.Some of Mzansi’s best-loved artists and groups are tuning up for their stage appearances, and the military is going through its paces to ensure its tactical displays leave audiences gasping, while some of SA’s top chefs are sharpening their knives for displays of culinary flare in the SA Chefs Theatre.And lining up behind them are magicians, gymnasts, animal trainers, funfair-ride operators all coming together to create a world of entertainment choice, with something to excite and delight every member of the family

Get ready for The Amazing Spider-Man 2We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with

Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realise that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. Release date in SA: 25 April

The DJ in the Park music concert had Johannesburg South locals partying up a storm on Saturday 12 April, where many top South African DJs performed together in the South for the first time. DJ in the Park is by far the biggest outdoor music concert to take place in the South, and it has now set the trend and standard for more such concerts to follow. The event was held in Linmeyer, right in the heart of the South, at the local Southern Suburbs Sports and Recreation Centre. From 10:00 in the morning a line-up of respected celebrity DJs, such as Lady Lea and Euphonik, took to the stage to get the party started. DJ Fresh and DJ Milkshake from 5 FM, Vin Deysel and Locnville, to name a few, almost

had fans climbing over the security gates to get on stage. Locnville introduced an edge by combining a dramatic in sync performance with the music. The brothers got up on a smoky stage with dark hoods pulled far over their faces, which had the crowd screaming with anticipation. Their dramatic entrance had fans’ expectations soaring; and with their signature chest-vibrating bass and electro-dubstep mix club tracks, they fully lived up to it. DJ Fresh created a feel-good vibe with tunes such as: “I like to move it”, “Changes in my life”, “Cool and deadly” and “Spin my world around”, to which the whole crowd sang along. DJ Milkshake had all the gangsters bobbing with Snoop Dog’s “Pop it like it’s hot” and sealed the deal with “Happy.” DJ in the Park event organisers plan on hosting more concerts like this in the South, so if you missed this one, be sure to look out for the next one.

Tribute to the Bee Gees

Amy-Mae Campbell@Amzymaeq twitter.com

Bee Gees admirers can relive the energet-ic pop trio from 4 to 26 April at the Odeon Showbar at Emperors Palace. Local per-formers: Mark Richardson, Luciano Zup-pa and Paul Buckby have collaborated to replicate the greatest Bee Gees hits for The Bee Gees Tribute Show.Bee Gees brothers Barry, Robin, and Mau-rice Gibb rocked the 1960s and early 1970s, and dominated the disco music era in the late 1970s. They topped the music charts with greatest hits, such as “Stayin’ Alive”, “Night Fever”, and their beautifully harmonised bal-lads “Massachusetts” and “I started a joke”, to name a few.The Bee Gees Tribute Show covers a whole range of their greatest hits from both the ear-lier days, as well as the upbeat and flashy disco era. The intimate showbar ensures that audience members form part of the interac-tive show; the singers frequently dance in between tables and they are not shy to pull you up onto your feet to disco rock with them. Bee Gees fans can look forward to a very colourful, energetic and glittery evening filled with beautiful showgirls and disco balls. A few of the audience favourites so far include:

“Tragedy”, “More than a woman”, “How deep is your love”, “Stayin’ Alive” and “You should be dancing”. The tribute trio accurately imitat-ed the famous high-pitched vibrato lead vo-cals, as well as the three-part tight harmonies and the Barry Gibb’s signature falsetto notes reminiscent of the late 1970s and 1980s. Ac-cording to an article on the Emperors Palace website called “ ‘Night fever’ with the month long Bee Gees Tribute Show”, Paul Buckby said they decided to take on the Bee Gees not as an attempt to replace them, but to cel-ebrate their talent and legacy: “Barry Gibb once said that the Bee Gees would like to be remembered for their music long after they had gone. So we are ot trying to fill the shoes of the Bee Gees; we’re just lifting our hats.”The Bee Gees Tribute Show will run until 26 April at the Odeon Showbar at Emper-ors Palace. Performances take place every Friday and Saturday night at 20:00. Tickets cost R80 per person and can be purchased at the door; Winners Circle members qualify for discounts. Groups can pre-book booths accommodating up to five people for R400. Book your tickets through Emperors Pal-ace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213, or at www.emperorspalace.com and www.computicket.com.

Mrs South Africa top 24 finalists announced

On Saturday 12 April, Johannesburg saw the annual Mrs South Africa CANSA Gala dinner, where the Top 24 finalists for 2014 were announced at Emperors Palace, the official host of Mrs South Africa.The finalists were revealed in all their glory at the event in aid of the pageant’s official char-ity, The CANCER ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA (CANSA). The Top 55 Semi-Final-ists started their journey at the beginning of March and have been helping (CANSA) as health and fundraising volunteers working with CANSA staff to provide care and support to those affected by cancer. In 2013, the pag-eant and their finalists, raised over R300 000 towards CANSA.The Top 24 breathtakingly beautiful finalists, who will be contending for the crown, are out to impress the 2014 Judges: Cindy Nell Rob-erts – Former Miss South Africa and Principle Judge, Simba Mhere – Top Billing presenter, Lourine Wannenburg – Owner of Eden moon productions, Marelize Steyn Earle – Former Mrs South Africa and Vuzi Zwane – Emper-

ors Palace Executive. This formidable panel judged the contestants based on criteria that they believe the Mrs South Africa 2014 win-ner should embody. “Traditionally the pag-eant world is portrayed as a superficial and a ‘Beauty’ only orientated industry,” says Joa-ni Johnson, CEO of Mrs South Africa. “Mrs South Africa is a pageant of substance. We look for real women, women who are wives, mothers, and homemakers.They are ambitious, successful and businesswomen. Mrs South Africa is an empowering organisa-tion, giving women from all around the country an opportunity to make their mark.” 8 August - a month that celebrates women - will see the Grand Finale at Emperors Palace where the new Mrs South Africa will be crowned. The night promises to deliver a glamorous af-fair that will celebrate all women from all as-pects of life.tame TIMES would like to congratulate Top 24 finalist Mrs Nondomiso Motlahlala from Alberton. We wish her all the success in the Mrs South Africa pageant.

“But I realised I needed help. I was already a member at the gym when they launched the Curves Complete weight-loss program so I signed up without hesitation.”Curves Complete is a lifestyle programme that combines exercise, an eating plan and personal coaching.

Boshoff triumphs at SA Boys U-19 Champs

Ekurhuleni’s Paul Boshoff defeated Hennie du Plessis from Limpopo at the last hole of a humdinger 36-hole final to lift the Nomads SA Boys U-19 Match Play Championship title on Saturday 5 April.Throughout a very blustery day at Umhlali Golf Club, the lead changed hands no less than seven times in the ding-dong battle for supremacy. The 17-year-old finalists were still all square at their second visit to the par-three 18th and it looked as if the battle would head to a play-off decider. However, Boshoff’s tee shot stood up to the wind gusting at 30 kilometers an hour off the left, and found the edge of the green, while Du Plessis’s effort splashed in the greenside bunker.

The Limpopo golfer played a terrific trap shot that slipped just six feet past the pin, but Boshoff lagged a lengthy putt to the edge of the cup for a tap-in par. Du Plessis missed his attempt to extend the match, and the victory went to Boshoff. The country’s number five ranked junior was absolutely thrilled to get the job done.“I am so incredibly proud right now. Considering the past champions, it is a great honour to know my name will join players like Tim Clark, Trevor Immelman, Richard Sterne and Dylan Frittelli on the trophy,” said Boshoff.“I took the lead four times, and Hennie had it three times, so I’d say we were very evenly matched. Neither of us ran away with it, though, because we both battled to

keep control in the wind. The locals say that this was just about as bad as the wind gets around here. Club selection was tough. It was really difficult to get the ball close to the pins, especially on the holes into the wind. Even if you got close, it was pretty tough to putt in the wind. It was a long day and it could have gone either way. I feel for Hennie, because he was a fantastic opponent. I got the ball to the hole at the last and he didn’t. That’s what always makes the difference in matches like these.”The Match Play victory follows a fourth place finish at the recent Sanlam Cape Province Open and the young gun hopes the confidence from this achievement will carry him into the winner’s circle more often this season.

OFF THE PITCH

It is that time of the year again, when we are entertained with the Indian T20 Premier League, which involves all of the big hitting batsmen in the game from around the world. I say big hitting batsmen, as this is what has made this tournament the success it is. The tournament will start in Dubai

tomorrow and end in India on the 1st of June due to the elections in India. Since it’s inception in 2008, it must be said that the batsmen have far out weighed the bowlers, in terms of results. The hitting of boundaries wether they are four’s or sixes is what has brought the Iikes of the Chennai Super Kings and KKR in the past as the the eventual winners. The IPL is pretty much a hit and a miss if you are a bowler, as you need the luck that goes with this format in hoping that the batsmen miss hit a few. The ICC sanctioned festival of cricket brings together the best of the best when the teams try and set the highest run rates possible. The Overseas players that represent the individual franchises play a huge and responsible role when it comes to the bragging rights in India with the locals. The Chennai Super Kings are two time winners of this title, with Indian skipper MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo, Brendon McCullum and our own FAF DuPlessis, would seem to have the balance and experience to win a third title. However, there are a couple of other teams that will surely come close. Gary Kirsten is the new Delhi Daredevils coach and has the services of Quinton De Kock, JP Duminy and Kevin Pietersen who will hopefully challenge Dhoni and co. Other contenders for the title should come from Mumbai Indians who have ‘Mr Cricket’ in Michael Hussey, Rohit Sharma and Lasith Malinga, as well as the Royal Challengers Bangalore boasting the brilliant Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers and Chris Gayle. It should be a fantastic spectacle of cricket in it’s own right. My bet is that Dhoni and his Super Kings will grab a third title.

Lions in Shark attackOn Saturday 12 April the Lions Superrugby team played their last match, against the Sharks, on homeground Ellispark before leaving on a 5 weeks tour. Although the Sharks left Johannesburg as winners, some of the Lions players left a lasting impression. Lions midfielder Lionel Mapoe showed enough class and passion to be a major headache for the Sharks.Again, the scoreboard did not predict how the match would end. At halftime the two teams were tied 6-all. Lions flyhalf Marnitz Boshoff scored all 12 point for the Lions team, but unlucky for them the match ended 25-12 in favour of the visitors from Durban. The Lions will face the DHL Stormers at Newlands in Cape Town on 19 April, starting their away tour.
