The Pan African Student Movement of Azania (PASMA) gave a helping hand to the residence cleaners known as Mamazala’s of the Tshwane University of Technology Soshanguve North Campus. This took place on September 23. “We just got here and they told us to relax, we were all surprised by them. It was our first time seeing such.” said Mamazala Dipuo Mphahlele. PASMA as part of their women empowerment campaign have run with this initiative as a follow up to continue helping women at the university. “As a structure we saw a need to help our parents and that they should take a break. This is not us trying to win votes but trying to empower women as part of our social upliftment. ” Said Khoisan Sonti PASMA member. They started cleaning from the corridors to the kitchens of the North Campus residences. “We acknowledge what PASMA is doing for our Mamazala’s and we thank them. This shows that they do care, not only for us as students but all people here on campus.” Said Sibongile Mahlaola, student resident. PASMA promised that the cleaning will continue to the south campus of the university in the following week.
EVERYONE COUNTS NOMVULA CHAWANE South Africans across the country have been called on to participate in census 2011- the third national census since the advent of democracy. Field workers will be going house to house asking people about their access to services such as water, electricity and sanitation. Out of this information South Africa will know whether government is making progress or not. However, people are worried about their safety after an incident where two robbers posing as census workers allegedly robbed and shot two men in Johannesburg fleeing with money and other valuables. Maria Selomo from Soshanguve says that she is not comfortable letting in any enumerator into her house after she heard the story. “If they come to my house, I’m not going to let them in the house, we will sit outside under a tree and do the whole interview,” she said.Statistics South Africa (stats SA) has appealed to the public to ensure that the people they allow into their homes during census 2011 are indeed enumerators.According to a census enumerator, Fransisca Malele, there is a toll free number that the public can call to confirm a census enumerator.“People must feel free to demand our names and identification numbers,” Malele said. Census enumerators can be identified by the yellow T-shirts, black caps and their identity cards which will contain a hologram to protect the cards from being counterfeited.
