eNCA | Rural NWest school gets state of the art science lab

You Need Posted on by

RUSTENBURG – Malefo Secondary School in Tweelagte outside Rustenburg became the first school in the North West to receive a state-of-the-art science laboratory.

There was jubilation as Conlog, a company based in Durban that deals with prepaid electrical metres handed over the laboratory on Friday.

“We as Conlog our purpose is to enrich and connect people to resources, hence when we received a letter from the school pleading for help we saw the need to act and provide this community with resources that will enhance teaching and learning of science in disadvantaged schools,” said company representative Sibusiso Sikosana.

Acting chief director in the North West department of education in Bojanala district, Pauline Mokhutle, said the department was happy to get help from private companies in order to ensure that local schools also get a quality education.

She also pleaded with educators and parents to work together in building learners to become better people and future leaders.

Former school principal Elvis Mabyane said the school wrote a letter to Conlog in September 2017, with the help of Sello Sedingwe, a former learner who was passionate about the development of the community asking for assistance with the building of a new sciences laboratory.

“I am happy to come back today to see that it has finally happened. We are grateful and appreciate the effort of such companies and eager others to follow in the same path in helping the department to provide quality education especially when it comes to science,” he said.

An on-duty police officer allegedly shot and killed his wife near the entrance of Voorpos Primary School in East London on Friday.

The woman had been attending an informal school governing body (SGB) introduction session when she was shot in full view of the school staff and management.

“Police were called on site and a case was opened with them,” Eastern Cape Department of Education spokesperson Mali Mtima said.

“Apart from that, medics were also called [to] the scene by the school leadership, but declared the SGB member dead upon arrival at the scene.”

Buffalo City education district director Edgar Klaasen arranged counselling for those who witnessed the shooting.

Police spokesperson Captain Nkosiko Mzuku said the police officer was in custody.

“The circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear at the moment,” he said.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate is investigating a case of murder, Mzuku added.

MEC for Education Mandla Makupula expressed his condolences to the woman’s family and friends.

“Our fraternity has been robbed of a selfless individual who sacrificed her own time just to ensure that our communities participate meaningfully in transforming our education to meet the societal needs,” he said.

“May her soul rest in eternal peace. I hope her family will find solace in the Almighty.”

22 June 2018 – SARS reminds VAT vendors to submit outstanding returns or face legal action

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, Friday, 22 June 2018 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) is reminding Value-Added Tax (VAT) vendors to submit their outstanding returns to avoid administrative penalties and/or criminal prosecution.

In accordance with the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011 (TAA), and specifically Section 234 (d), it is a criminal offence not to submit a tax return for any of the tax types a taxpayer is registered for. The tax types are:

  • Personal Income Tax (PIT)

  • Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

  • Pay As You Earn (PAYE)

  • Value-Added Tax (VAT)

Failure to submit the returns within the relevant period could result in administrative penalties being imposed per outstanding return. It could also result in criminal prosecution which could lead to a fine or imprisonment.

All VAT vendors with outstanding returns, including those who failed to submit a due return for the first time, or did not submit a VAT201 return in time for the April/May 2018 VAT period, will receive SMS or eMail-reminders from SARS from today to submit their outstanding returns.

To avoid any penalties, interest, prosecutions as well as imprisonment, taxpayers are urged to rectify their compliance status by submitting any outstanding returns as soon as possible at their nearest SARS Branch or via SARS eFiling at www.sarsefiling.co.za.

It is important to note that should any return result in a tax debt, the debt must be paid before the relevant due date to avoid any interest for late payment and legal action. SARS will ensure that refunds are paid, unless there is a legal reason to withhold a refund.

All vendors are reminded to submit accurate declarations as SARS may conduct an audit.

For further clarity, taxpayers can call the SARS Contact Centre on 0800 00 7277.
