ELECTRICITY COSTS MAY INCREASE WHILE THE COUNTRY IS ON STAGE 6 LOAD SHEDDING.

National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) will have a Special Energy Regulator Meeting today (12 January) to discuss Eskom's fifth Multi Year Price Determination (MYPD5) revenue application for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years. Should this application be approved, the electricity tariff will be increased by 32%.

The busines sector, especially small to medium enterprises have been hit very hard by load shedding and power outages, as most are unable to generate enough profit while others have resorted to alternative means such as solar and generators. So with the country currently on Stage 6 load shedding, having to pay more for electricity will not be good news at all.

Eskom has put out a media statement which states: "Stage 6 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Wednesday continuously until further notice. Due to severe capacity constraints, Eskom will continue to manage the limited emergency generation capacity".

All eyes and ears will be on the outcomes of NERSA Special Meeting which will be taking place from 14:00 in the afternoon. NERSA is a regulator of electricity, piped gas and petroleum pipelines industries aimed at ensuring that interests of stakeholders as well as socio-economic development are balanced.

Management of Debonairs Pizza, hosted a Christmas party and donated wheelchairs, toys and food to the children of Amohelang Bophelong Disability Academy on Monday the 5th of December 2022.

The partnership between Amohelang and Debonairs Pizza has been going on for the past 7 months now, with Debonairs donating loaves of bread to the Academy on a weekly basis.

The academy teaches persons with disability from ages 3 to 59 years. "Our aim and objective is to see a child with disability able to read and write", said one of the Co-founders Mr Semende Munguambe.

Mrs Sonto Hlatshwayo, who is one of the co-founders of the Academy once more took the opportunity to encourage parents who have children living with disabilities to bring them to the academy so that they can learn how to read, write and acquire different skills as well as enjoy sports and recreational activities.

Having started the Amohelang Bophelong Disability Academy with just R1 000 from their own pockets to pay the first rent over a year ago, this Disability Academy is now gradually florishing and prospering.

So far the institution has produced carpenters and seamstresses who make a living through their work and also help finance the Academy. Proving that having a disability doesn't mean you do not have the capability to do great things.

Currently, Amohelang Bophelong Disability Academy is based at Bophelong Community Center (Asedi). However there is plan in place to turn the institution from a daycare center into a boarding school, and the land for this project has already been approved.

JAGERMAISTER FC TAKES HOME R20 000!!!

05/12/2022 By: Mpho Radebe (Yeah Ke Yena Poster)

Jagermaister Football Club scored 4 goals in the Final against Bangladesh FC to win the Top 4 Diski Tournament, that took place on Sunday the 4th of December at UK Sports Grounds in Zone 7, Sebokeng.

The first goal came from the penalty spot, in the first half of the match. They subsequently scored their second goal before half time. Bangladesh FC tried to fight their way back into the match in the second half, however the Maisters were the stronger side and they managed to score further 2 goals, with the fourth goal going through an open net after the Bangladesh FC goalkeeper made a costly mistake.

Jagermaister had earlier on booked their spot in the final through a 1 - 0 win against All Stars FC in a match which was tightly contested. Bangladesh on the other hand made it to the final by thrashing Show Me Your Number FC by 4 goals to nill in the second semi final of the day.

Massive Nation News spoke to Sushi who is Jagermaister FC coach after the explosive final and he said, "I wasn't expecting 4 goals, this was a tough game but technically we were able to beat them because of the fitness level". He further stated that they will use the R20 000 that they won to buy soccer boots for the players.

It will be interesting to see if Jagermaister FC will inflict more pain to Bangladesh FC or maybe Bangladesh will get their revenge as these two teams will once more play against each other on the 10th of December in the main tournament (Festive Kasi Diski Tournament Top 32), where they will be competing for R100 000 cash price.

Will the R20 000 inspire the hunger to win more for Jagermaister and help them to bag a further R100 000? it remains to be seen.

This tournament which is organized by Kingdom Sports and Recreations plays a crucial role in providing entertainment for the young and the old as well as helping unearth undiscovered talent in the Vaal. It will be taking place from the 9th to the 15th of December at UK sports ground in Zone 7, Sebokeng.
