After a week of ugly and violent pro-tests, the communities of Vuwani, which were completely shut down, returned to normality on Tuesday when stakehold-ers decided to suspend their protests and wait for a decision from the mu-nicipal demarcation board.

A visit by Premier Stan Mathabatha, who addressed thousands of residents at the local sports fi eld, was enough to quell the situation in the area.

The premier had met leaders at Ha-Mat-

sila the previous day. He succumbed to pressure from the community, who had vowed that everything would stop in the area until he came down and spoke to them. Many believe that he arrived late because he was still waiting for the court to release one of the Pro-Makhado Demar-cation Task Team members, Avhapfani Mudau, who appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court on public-violence charges.

The community had earlier threatened to continue with the protests and not to listen to Mathabatha if their leader was not

released. Mudau was released on bail of R1 000 and arrived at the sports grounds to a hero’s welcome by the thousands of cheering residents who had waited for him. He was accompanied by Thovhele Nthumeni Masia.

Accompanied by Makhado Mayor David Mutavhatsindi, Vhembe Executive Mayor Tshitereke Matibe and other gov-ernment offi cials, Mathabatha did not take more than 20 minutes to calm down the angry community members who had gath-ered to hear the “good news” from him.

Baby dumped in dustbin after birth

Lucky escape for Tshisimani students

“Women must use all their opportunities”

The police in Thohoyandou are appealing to the community to come forward with information that can lead to the arrest of the mother who gave birth and dumped her baby in a waste material dust bin opposite the police headquarters in Sibasa about two weeks ago.

Police spokesperson Constable Avhafarei Tshiovhe said they had opened the case of concealment of birth and they were still look-ing for the woman. She added that the baby boy was found dead, dumped in a waste material dustbin of the Thulamela local municipality. “We are appealing

to community members to give us information that can lead to the arrest of the woman. We strongly condemn such incidents and we advise women to consult social workers and religious leaders to help those who are experienc-ing marital problems,” added Tshiovhe.

A bus load of students escaped unhurt last week, when the bus they were travelling in caught fire.

The incident happened when a bus belonging to Netshituni Bus company, carrying mostly stu-dents to the Tshisimani campus of the Vhembe TVET College, allegedly developed electrical problems. Many of the students boarded the bus at Thohoyandou.

Mr Lawrence Ramudzuli (21), one of the stu-dents who escaped inju-ry, said he had boarded the bus at Thohoyandou at around 07:00. “All was well and we were sharing jokes when it all happened. There was a passenger who was alighting at Tshisahulu around 07:30 when we noticed smoke inside the bus and we all hur-riedly alighted from the bus. That was when we realised that the bus was on fire.”

The driver called the firefighters while trying to extinguish the fire using the small fire ex-tinguisher he keeps in the bus, but he could not

stop the fire, which spread very fast and consumed the whole bus. When the firefighters arrived, there was nothing left as the bus had been completely gutted, said Ramudzuli.

Ramudzuli further indicated that they were scared and helpless, “but we are just happy that the driver was cooperative and he organised taxis and a bus to take us to school. We are also happy that no one was injured and we count ourselves lucky.”

A raging fire consumes the bus at Tshisaulu.

Female farmers were en-couraged to take agricultural farming seriously to help fight poverty and unemployment hampering rural communities.

“It is time to get up and do things for yourself, so that we can defeat poverty and unem-ployment and help create jobs for jobless people. I want to encourage our rural women to ac-tively participate in agricultural farming to better their lives,” said the overall winner of the Vhembe Female Entrepreneur Award, Ms Annikie Malukuta.

Malukuta said nowadays

emerging farmers had no reason not to start up farming, as the government was assisting farm-ers with seedlings and tractors. She was speaking last Thursday during the Vhembe Female En-trepreneur of the Year Awards, which was held at the Thohoyan-dou Indoor Sports Centre.

Malukuta won R5 000-00. She grows tomatoes, butternuts and green beans, among others, on her Feskraal I Unit 84 at the Nwanedi farms. She will represent the Vhembe Female Entrepreneurs during the provin-cial competition, scheduled to be

held on 20 August in Polokwane.Acting Vhembe Executive

Mayor Rodgers Tshivhase said the district was humbled to be associated with the progressive department of agriculture in its efforts to fight poverty and encourage women to take centre stage in the economic develop-ment of Vhembe district. “Vhem-be District Municipality has a number of programmes aimed at helping and uplifting emerging farmers and other enterprises. I urge women in our district to take full advantage of all these opportunities.”

Peace prevails once more in Vuwani(From page 1)He did not, however, mince

his words when he told the crowd that they had indeed received memorandums from the community and that it was not in their competence as a provincial government to take such a decision.

“I do not want to pretend that I have answers to your problems, but we forwarded the memorandums to the municipal demarcation board, which will make a determination in 30 days. I appeal to the people of Vuwani to remain calm and wait for the demarcation board to make a pronouncement. As of now, there is no new munic-ipality yet,” he said to wild ap-plause by the happy community members.

After the premier’s response, residents’ leader Arnold Mu-laudzi proposed that the shut-down be lifted to give the de-marcation board time to make its decision. “Whether it be pos-itive or negative, we will come back and meet in 30 days’ time and we will take it from there.”

He warned the police not to arouse the anger of the people by arresting their leaders. “The people of Malamulele burnt schools and shopping complex-es, but no one was arrested. Here you are practising double stan-dards by intimidating leaders by arresting them,” he added.

The suspension of the strike

came as a huge relief to the business community, who had lost a lot during the protests. Some opened their businesses immediately afterwards, while others felt insecure even after the announcement. By the close of business, taxis were seen ferrying people who, for the past days, had to walk long distances to Thohoyandou to buy grocer-ies as no shops were operating in the area. Chief Livhuwani Mat-sila, one of the most influential chiefs in the Vuwani area, com-mended the premier for having listened to the people. “We are humbled that he respected the call by the people to come over and address us. We are happy that he clarified the notion that there is no new municipality yet and that we have to wait for the the municipal demarcation board to make a ruling. The violent protests were sparked by a proposed merging of some parts of the Vuwani area with a proposed new municipality that would form part of Malamule-le,” he said.

Residents in the area had made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with the proposed municipality but wanted to remain under Makhado Mu-nicipality. Just a day after the closing of the window for ob-jections and submissions to the Municipal Demarcation Board, protesting residents in the Vu-wani area went on the rampage

last Friday, barricading roads with heavy drainage pipes, burning tyres and big rocks. A police vehicle and two private vehicles were burnt, while four other vehicles were damaged over the weekend.

There was rampant looting at local businesses and thousands of rands’ worth of stock were stolen.

Early on Wednesday, com-muters were seen boarding buses to their respective work places. School children in their uniforms were seen travelling to their different schools in the area.

Limpopo police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto said the situation was quiet and that everything was back to normal. She hinted that motorists should be careful of barricades as there were still rocks on some of the roads. “The police are keeping an eye on the situation and will maintain our presence until we are sure all is in order,” she said.

Otto further said a suspect, Avhapfani Mudau (42), had been arrested in connection with public violence, malicious dam-age to property and contraven-tion of the Gathering Act in the Vuwani area. She said a second suspect was being sought by the police. “The suspect appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court and was granted bail. He was warned to appear in court on 20 October,” she said.

sThe residents of Valdezia, near Elim, led by ser-vice delivery convener Sipho Masuka, handed a memorandum of concerns to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of South Africa on Sun-day.

The community considered this march to be successful because the the EPCSA’s representative, Rev CB Mahlaule, accepted the memorandum.

The church leadership had initially refused to receive the very memorandum in an earlier march a fortnight ago, because the march organisers had not communicated with them beforehand. Even though the church had accepted the memorandum, the general secretary, Rev Daniel Sombhane, said that he could not give any substantial comment at this stage.

“We are based in Midrand and we delegated a representative in Valdezia to receive the memoran-dum,” he said. “We may only comment after we had studied the contents of such a memorandum.”

The memorandum mainly concerns the request for the referral or transfer of the Valdezia land to local residents.

The land, which consists mostly of small farms, is the property of the church and was acquired by the Swiss missionaries in the 1870s. Since early 2002, some residents, led by Masuka, had been trying hard to claim ownership of the land.

In the memorandum, the “Valdezia community” demand the land back, and that, says the memo-randum, can only be achieved through the church’s selling of the land to the government, who will then give it to residents. They also demand that the church stop taking away buildings belonging to the community, and that the church stop deciding issues that affect the residents without involving them. Another concern is that the bluegum trees, which are seemingly everywhere in Valdezia, are using the underground water.

“Why is the EPCSA taking away buildings

belonging to the community – such as the clinic, community authority offi ces and Matimu Training Centre?” said Masuka. “The above-mentioned buildings were built or renovated with government funds.” He added that it was not fair for the church to take control of all those buildings.

Masuka believes that the previous church lead-ers, the late Rev “Ngove and Rev Mobbie” had unfortunately passed on while trying to fi nd the best possible ways to solve the church and residents’ differences.

The “Valdezia community” believes that, if the land is given to residents, the very residents will start farming projects and create employment for hundreds of them. “The community will have prop-er land-use management,” the memorandum says.

The last line in the memorandum reads: “Failure to respond positively to our demands within 14 days, expect a rolling mass action in the form of pe-titions to your church by the residents of Valdezia.”

Finals of Mulindavhathu Cup

Public must support and love the mentally challenged

Pro Makhado Demarcation Team object to municipality

The semifinal and final of the Mulindavhathu Soccer Challenge will be played at the Khubvi Benjies grounds this weekend.

The semifinals will be played tomorrow, with the final on Sunday. The teams that have made it to the semifinals are Khubvi Peace Makers, Mudaswali United Brothers, Khubvi Dangerous Darkies and MT Green Mambas.

Khubvi Peace Makers will meet Mudaswali United Brothers in the first semifinal. Peace Makers beat Makwarani Frelimo Boys 2-0 in their quarterfinal last weekend to secure a place in the semis. United Brothers’ way to the semifinal went via Vhutalu Mountain Rangers, whom they nar-rowly beat 1-0.

Peace Makers will be without their striker, Edzisani Mukhethiwa, who saw red in their game against Freli-mo Boys last weekend. The match is scheduled to start at 12:00.

The second semifinal match will be between Khubvi Dangerous Darkies and MT Green Mambas. Dangerous Darkies secured a place in the semi-final after beating Musasenda Big Five 8-3, while MT Green Mambas

crushed Makonde Young Tigers 3-1 in their quarterfinal match.

It remains to be seen whether Green Mambas will have the power to penetrate the defence of Darkies, which is marshalled by Tshivhidzo Muthubi and Murangi Ramatsea. The second semifinal is scheduled to start at 15:00.

The final will start at 15:00 on Sun-day. The teams booted out tomorrow will fight for the third and fourth positions in their losers’ final match on Sunday at 13:00. The champions of the competition will take home a cash prize of R2 000, a floating trophy, gold medals, soccer kit and soccer ball.

The second-placed side will be presented with a cash prize of R1 500, silver medals, soccer kit and a soccer ball.

A soccer kit, bronze medals and soccer ball are awaiting a team that will finish in the third spot, while the fourth-placed side will be given a soccer kit and soccer ball. Sambandou United Professionals failed to defend their championship as they were booted out of the competition in the round-robin phase.

Hundreds of people attended a cere-mony to acknowledge mental-illness awareness month at Mashamba and Tshixwadza a fortnight ago.

The event was sponsored by Masana and Skills Development, Fun Lover Coaches and Phadziri Bus Services. According to Mr Left Mambirimisa of Phadziri, the company was there to support the event and “give something back to the community.” He explained

that they had a social responsibility and would like to empower the community with important skills.

Limpopo’s MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, said that the campaign on mental illness sent a powerful message to counter the all-too-often-held perception that mental illnesses were a secondary health concern that could be delayed until more immediate and pressing health care issues had been addressed. She called for

communities to accept, support and love mentally ill patients.

Ramathuba said the community should change its attitude towards mental health patients, because some of their bad actions were committed unwittingly. She added that the good news about most mental illnesses was that recovery was possible. “Mental illness is treatable. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from other symptoms

A group of people, calling themselves the Pro Makhado Demarcation Team, representing 87 villages, presented a formal objection to the National Demar-cation Board, explaining why they do not want to fall under the jurisdiction of the newly proposed municipality. The proposed new municipality will merge parts of the Vuwani area with the troublesome Malamulele area

The event took place in Pretoria last Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the group, Mr Ar-nold Mulaudzi, said they were not begging the National Demarcation Board, but it was their mission to tell the board to stop

pushing them to where they did not want to be. “We are in a democratic country and cannot allow anyone to dictate to us. We hired five buses to transport approximately 500 local civic leaders, clerics, committees from different churches and businesspeo-ple to meet the chairperson of the Board, Ms Jane Thupana. We told her that we don’t want to be part of the proposed new municipality,” he said.

Mulaudzi questioned the economic viability of the new municipality, “so Thupana should leave us alone. We have bundles and bundles of documents to oppose Thupana’s idea.” He added that they had also sent a petition to Premier

Stan Mathabatha.Fourteen villages loyal to the Masia

Tribal Authority say they could not stand aloof “from our leader and they will fight until the last bullet. When those strangers come back again, they will find us ready for a bloody war,” they said.

The spokesperson for the Masia Tribal Authority, Chief Livhuwani Nkhiphitheni Mastsila, said they would remain in the jurisdiction of Makhado and they could not allow anyone to push them to where they did not like to be. Matsila said they were not against the newly proposed municipality, and the demarcation board might grant it to those who needed it.


Ndou too good for TanzanianPhilip Ndou beat Tanzanian Shauri Ramadhani with a techni-cal knock-out in the fourth round of their international non-title welterweight fight in the Thohoy-andou Indoor Sport Centre on Sunday.

Ramadhani prom-ised to send Ndou into retirement prior to the event, but Ndou just did not give Ramad-hani time and space to manoeuvre. He impressed with his energy and aggression througout the fight.

After the event, Ramadhani’s train-er, Yassin Abaallaa, said that they wanted a rematch, because Ndou had not done enough to win the fight. He said Ndou surprised Ramadhani with a lucky punch. “I believe Ndou won because of his experi-ence and not from his performance. He is not good enough for us to fear him.”

Ndou said that he was ready to challenge for the IBF world ti-tle, because he had demolished the IBF

and WBU’s African champion, Ramadhani. “From here it is the IBF; we are going for it.” He also paid respect to the mothers, fans and the promotor for their support.

by actively participating in an individual treat-ment plan.”

R a m a t h u b a a l s o warned about the dan-gers of depression: “Depression is a very common mental health problem worldwide. In light of these high rates of depression, it is a cause for concern that mood disorders are the most common psychi-atric conditions associ-ated with suicide. It is therefore crucial that those suffering from de-pression seek effective treatment that address-es both depression and the tendency towards suicide.”

Mr Albert Mutha-thedzwa, one of the peo-ple staying with a men-tally challenged person, urged parents to stop abusing these people and to stop using them as sources of income. He said the disability grants should be used in the way they were intended. Thovhele Ndweleni Mashamba made the same plea.

“Please protect our visitors from this”

Hundred new tables for Dengenya High

Whilst waiting for a flight recently with some foreign visitors, we went upstairs

looking for some basic refreshments – a burg-er and a cold drink, to be exact.

I find it hard to describe what we found ... a “restaurant” which can only be described as the epitome of bad taste. All bling in black, brass and silver, and - God help us - a bath in the corner; yes – a bath, in the restaurant, with its own TV screen (to show what, you may well ask).

Waitresses dressed like not-so-high-class “escorts” and a menu that defies belief, al-though I doubt the majority of items are actually available. To crown it all, half a Mercedes Benz sticking out of a wall, again with a TV screen for the “driver”!

The hamburgers were delicious - hats off to the chef - but clearly there’s nowhere near enough daytime traffic to keep the business afloat, so one can only assume a roaring evening trade ... but in what?

Even the bill was presented in a black and silver velvet and sequinned mini “chaise longue”. My guests found it highly amusing, but were laughing at us and not with us, taking photos to show their friends back home.

Is this what the Limpopo Tourism Board wants our province to be known for? A cheap-‘n-nasty “welcome” to tourists, demeaning the wealth of cultural, artistic and environmental attractions that we have to offer?

Shame on you all! Move it to town, for good-ness sake, away from the stunned and disbeliev-ing eyes of our visitors. -

One very embarrassed tourist guide, Vhem-be

Learners at the rural Dengenya Secondary School outside Thohoyandou in Limpopo kissed cold winter floors and having to stand while at-tending lessons goodbye, thanks to businessman Chris Luvhani, who donated 100 single tables to the school.

Luvhani and his colleague, Adv Sivhaga Net-shitomboni of Ngululu Holdings Limited, a truck-ing, IT and telecommunications company based in Gauteng, personally handed over the furniture to

the pupils last Thursday.The donation came about after Dengenya’s prin-

cipal, Mr Tshililo Alidzulwi, requested Luvhani to assist the pupils.

“I know how to walk to school without shoes and uniform. I also know how to attend classes during trying weather, but none of these stumbling blocks distracted me from reaching my life goals.”

He added that he did his degrees part-time, because he could not afford to go to university immediately after Grade 12, but he did not give up. He urged the pupils to focus on their studies and not to engage in sex, as it might impede their chances of making it in life.

“We are humbled by what Luvhani did and we just pray that other businesspeople will learn from him and start giving,” Alidzulwi said

Happy pupils show off the new tables during the handing-over ceremony held at the school. Also in the picture are the principal of the school, Mr Tshililo Alidzuli (standing left in the front row), Ngululu officials, the circuit manager and deputy school principal of the school.

R1bn Thavhani Mall for ThohoyandouA sod-turning ceremony to mark the official start of construction on the new R1 billion Thavhani Mall took place in Thohoyandou a fortnight ago. It is expected that the new devel-opment will create about 1 500 permanent jobs.

The acting premier and MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Mr Jerry Ndou, local political heavyweights and senior traditional leaders attended the event in the Thohoyandou Library and then moved outside the building for the ceremonial sod turning and photograph event. The mall’s owners and developmers, Thavhani Property Investments, will construct the 50 000m² regional shopping centre.

“Thavhani Mall will be the anchor and catalyst development within a new, bigger commercial development node on a 27 hectare site in Thu-lamela, dubbed Thavhani City. This is a key mega-development as part of the Thulamela municipality’s vision of securing city status by 2030,” said MEC Ndou.

He added that the government’s role was to create an environment for proper infrastructure, so

that businesspeople would be able to invest. “This initiative will also help to uplift our communities,” added Ndou.

Local businessman Chief Jeffrey Ramovha of Thavhani Property Investments first had a vision for a regional mall in the area six years ago. He later roped in pre-eminent South African shop-ping centre developers and investors Flanagan& Gerard Property Development and Investment to help turn his vision into a reality.

Mr Patrick Flanagan, executive director of Flanagan & Gerard Property Development and Investment, a shareholder in Thavhani Property Investment, said Thavhani Mall was a major investment in the area and would be the largest shopping centre in Thohoyandou as well as the greater Thulamela municipality. “We are proud to be part of making this exciting mall development a reality. The people of Thulamela and surrounding areas can look forward to a great shopping and leisure destination in Thavhani Mall, with more than 106 retail stores, restaurants and service outlets part of its offering,” he said.

Musina traditional leaders launch forum

Honour for founder of Tshasululo Ministries

As part of strengthening re-lationships with stakehold-ers, the Mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, had a meeting with traditional leaders whose villages fall under Musina Municipality last week.

The meeting took place at Malale Community Hall. The Traditional Leaders Forum was also launched during the meeting. This forum is a collab-orative platform through which the municipality and traditional leaders can communicate to address important issues relating to service delivery.

Traditional leaders who were present during the launch of the forum were Alpheus Ne-malale and Wilson Nemalale from Malale Village, Solomon Nduvheni of the Rambuda roy-al council, Daniel Netanda of Tanda, Petrus Munyai from Tshikhudini and Ndwamato Shandukani from Domboni Village. While launching the fo-rum, Ramoyada said traditional leaders had an important role to play in assisting the municipal-ity to identify service delivery gaps. “It is vitally important for us to work hand in hand with

our traditional leaders, because they are aware of their people’s needs. We hope that this forum will not only afford our tradi-tional leaders knowledge about our programmes, but that they will also share their views to help the municipality grow in many respects.”

She also highlighted that the forum is not only going to sit quarterly, but also that tradi-tional leaders will be invited occasionally to council meetings where they will be afforded opportunities to air their views on issues that are important to their communities. “Our plan is to have our traditional leaders present during our council meet-ings. They have a better under-standing of what people on the ground want us to prioritize.”

Ramoyada also said it was important to engage traditional leaders, because most of the developments were taking place on their land. “Even before the establishment of the munici-palities, traditional leadership had been there for ages. We will continue to visit all the stakeholders within the munic-ipal area to make sure that we consolidate our relationship, so

that we can pave the way for ef-ficient service delivery through development communication.”

Ramoyada said the munici-pality aimed to address commu-nication challenges by helping people to understand, negotiate and take part in decision making that affects their lives. “Com-munication is a key tool for development and social change, especially in a municipality with a high rate of unemployment such as ours.”

Chief Solomon Nduvheni said they were taking the meeting initiated by the mayor very se-riously. “We welcome the idea of launching this forum. This means that the municipality will always keep us informed of what is happening. We appreciate that our mayor realized that she needs to work with us, so that our people receive better services from our government. Taking into consideration that she has put aside everything to come and meet us here, we are happy to note that we are one of the important stakeholders on her calendar. We will continue to cooperate with the munici-pality on all issues in relation to service delivery.”

“It was in 2008 when one of our church members told me that she was going to graduate. I congratulated her and told her that I would also graduate one day.”

These were the words of Thizwilondi Norah Magalela, the founder of Thasululo Ministries, after an honorary doctorate in philosophy was confered on her by the Interdenominational The-ology Centre (ITC) at an event that was held at her church in Makonde village. Her husband, Father Ndivhuwo Magalela, was also awarded a master’s degree in philosophy by the same institution.

Founded in 1958, the Interde-

nominational Theological Center is a consortium of six predomi-nantly African-American denom-inational Christian seminaries located in Atlanta, Georgia, op-erating together as a professional graduate school of theology. It has branches across the world, including South Africa. All have the mission to educate Christian leaders for ministry and service.

The ITC is a premier resource for church scholarship, theolog-ical study, research and training for the spiritual, moral and eco-nomic empowerment of commu-nities. ITC’s chancellor in South Africa, Prof Daniel Macana, said his council had unanimously passed the motion of honouring

Magalela for her outstanding work in community development and spreading the word of God.

To thousands of her followers, Magalela is a motherly figure who does not only take care of their spiritual needs. She also runs community development initiatives in her church yard, which include an orphanage, crèche and school.

When accepting the honour, Magalela said she did the work of God without expecting any reward. “This is just a bonus which will encourage me to work hard in spreading the word of God. I’m really pleased to be honoured in this fashion before this congregation.”

A show producer and an an-chor presenter at the SABC’s Phalaphala FM, Thambatshi-ra Edward Ndadza, had a love for radio from an early age.

He also made sure that, while busy with his studies at the University of Venda, he found expression for his initial love for the radio by joining Univen FM community radio station.

He ascended the broadcasting ladder and found his niche at the national radio station, Phala Phala FM, where he produces and presents current affairs show Ndevhetsini.

“Radio was like a hobby as I grew up,” he said. “To me, radio is a platform from which I convey a direct message and news to people out there. I also encourage social cohesion, social responsibility and social development.”

He joined PhalaPhala FM as newsreader in January 2005. He soon moved to current affairs a year later.

Thamba, as he is affection-ately known, was born and grew-up in Ha-Matsika village in Malavuwe. He started his schooling

at Matsika Primary School and matriculated at Fhatuwani Sec-ondary School. When he joined the SABC, he was a third-year LLB student at the University of Venda.

Thamba has been a daily presenter since joining the Ndevhetsini team about 10 years ago, the experience which undoubtedly contributed to building his skillful production work and command behind the microphone.

Besides his daily work of broadcasting the show live from the studio, he has been handling bigger live projects, includ-ing live outside broadcastings, general and local government elections, national parliamenta-ry functions, such as the state of the nation address, and others, such as budget speeches.

“I like both formal and casual attire, depending on the occa-sion,” he said. “ Though I am a recording gospel artist, I listen to different types of music, from R&B, reggae and kwaito to African rumba and Afro-Soul.”

His voice, which is familiar to PhalaPhala FM’s lis-

teners, brings the latest news and live interviews

every morning, be-tween 06:00-07:00

on weekdays.

Play detector for testing station

Families angry as drag-racing case is postponed again

The traditional and manual way of inspecting vehicles for defects is now a thing of the past for Musina Municipality. As part of accelerat-ing service delivery in the licensing unit, the Municipality has recently acquired a play detector at a cost of R100 000.

A play detector is designed to check most steering and suspension compo-nents quickly and efficiently. Without the help of a second person, it enables a technician to detect play and wear in the wheel-guiding and -steering parts of passenger cars, trucks and buses quickly.

According to the communications

manager of the Musina Municipality, Mr Wilson Dzebu, vehicle road-worthiness is one of the important requirements for the safety of all road users. He says the play detector will play a vital role to ensure that vehicles are reliable and roadworthy.

“The acquisition of the play de-tector will enable our technicians to conduct tests for roadworthiness with ease in our licensing unit. This will also provide many benefits to vehicle owners. A roadworthy ve-hicle saves fuel and money and also reduces long-term maintenance costs. By making sure that our vehicles are roadworthy, the municipality reduces

the risk of road users’ being killed or injured. This will also reduce the number of accidents caused by vehicles that are not roadworthy on our roads. We have no doubt that this continu-ous initiative will make our pedestrians, mo-torists and passengers safer,” Dzebu said.

He says the fact that the number of vehicle owners keeps on in-creasing day by day makes the municipality more aggressive when dealing with matters of roadworthiness. “All people have a duty to ensure that their ac-tions on our roads do not impact negatively on the lives of others. It is not a secret. Everybody knows that road safety is a top priority for Musina Municipality.”

Relatives of the seven people who were killed in an alleged drag-race accident at Tshivhilwi outside Thohoyandou four years ago expressed their anger about the umpteenth postponement of the case.

Mr Mphedziseni Mawela (29) was released on R2 000 bail by the Tshaulu Periodical Court last year and since then the court has postponed his case several times. He was driving the vehicle that had allegedly killed seven community members.

“We are worried that the case is taking too long without trial. We don’t have enough mon-ey to travel from our villages to Thohoyan-dou, without anything taking place,” said Ms Muvhulawa Ravhanga. She is the daughter of Mr Wilson Ravhanga, who was killed in the accident. Her sister, Tsumbedzo Ravhanga, was also killed.

Muvhulawa and other relatives of the victims were in the Sibasa Re-gional Court on Tues-day, waiting for the trial of the man who had allegedly killed their loved ones in March

2012. It is alleged that two cars were

racing along a busy village street at Tshidzini when one of the drivers lost control and ploughed the car into a group of people. Seven of them died and four, including the driver, were injured.

The victims were Munei Munyai (12), Tsumbedzo Ravhanga (13),

Vhusiwana Rangani (25), Thifhe-limbilu Magaligwa (31), Kenneth Nemaungani (24), Wilson Ravhanga (71) and Daphne Mbedzi (26).

Magistrate Michael Coetzee of the Sibasa Regional Court postponed the case to 15 September as the legal representative of the accused, Adv Esau Nngwana, was not available to represent him.

Even though he confesses to have taken his inspirati on from the sounds of legendary reggae arti st Colbert Mukwevho, his music remains disti ncti ve as he doesn’t mimic his role model.

On Saturday, 3 August, early morning users of the road be-tween Shayandima industrial area and the traffic lights at Muledane had to use alterna-tive roads to Thohoyandou and Tshakhuma as the road was closed for hours.

That was the result of an acci-dent that involved three vehicles, two from the Thohoyandou side and one from the Tshakhuma side.

The area where the accident happened is notoriously known for fatal accidents and as many as 15 people are believed to have perished in accidents at this

stretch of road in recent years.On Saturday morning, two

people died at the scene and a driver of one of the cars was badly injured. The occupants of the two cars that collided head-on are said to have been going to attend a funeral.

The deceased are Mr Gilbert Makondelele (56), principal of a school at Nzhelele who stays at Tshakhuma, and Ms Florah Mudau (53), who stays at the nearby Itsani village.

The scene where the accident happened resembled a war zone, with mangled and twisted metals. A relative, who preferred ano-

nymity, said they were going to attend a funeral but used different cars to go there. “We passed the scene as we were in a hurry to at-tend a relative’s funeral. We saw the vehicles and one of the wom-en then started crying, saying it looked like her husband’s car. When we reached the funeral, we could not locate the man and when we called his phone, it was off. That was when we rushed to the scene to find him slumped in one of the cars.”

Thohoyandou police spokes-person Const Avhafarei Tshiovhe said they had opened a culpable homicide docket.

The body of one of those killed is loaded in a state mortuary vehicle at the scene of the accident.

Some of the pupils at Tshikundini wave good bye with the retiring principal, Ms Phyllis Netshivhuyu.

Members of staff and pupils of Tshikundini Primary School bade farewell to their hard-working principal, Ms Phillis Netshivhuyu, during an event at the school last Friday.

The event was also attended by members of local communi-ties, former pupils and teachers. Netshivhuyu left the Department of Education after service of 43 years.

Ms Netshivhuyu (65) said when she had been appointed the principal of Tshikundini in 1993, she had found that there

was no infrastructure, only two classrooms with no toilets and the pupils used to relieve themselves in the bushes. There were only 64 pupils at that time and now she retired with a big enrolment of more than 670 learners.

“We approached the depart-ment of education, the Japanese embassy and some donors who helped to build us new class-rooms. We are now a big school, with good infrastructure and an ablution block and a school gar-den.” She added that the teachers in the 70s were mostly unquali-

fied teachers, but they dedicated and committed themselves to quality teaching.

“They were not fighting for salary adjustments during that time, but they were fighting for the progress of the child and took teaching as a noble profession. Now that I am retiring, I would like the teachers in Tshikhudini Primary to be united and com-mitted to their school work. I will be happy if they can keep the standard that I left at the school and keep growing,” added Netshivhuyu.

“Send abusers of women to jail” - Mbeki

Former President Thabo Mbeki receives a gift from the mayor of Thulamela, Cllr Grace Mahosi, and the Univen rector, Prof Peter Mbati.

Former President Thabo Mbeki has encouraged South African citizens to report any person who abuses women, so that they can be sent to jail.

In his address during a Sym-posium on gender mainstream-ing and representation at the workplace, held in the audi-torium of Univen on Monday afternoon, Mbeki said that the days where women were treated as less than men were over. “I remember that a person once said women must continue to love and care for their husbands, even when they are beaten or abused. If you hear a person saying such things, you must report him to the police, so that

they can lock him away,” said Mbeki.

Besides legislation that pro-motes the emancipation of women, Mbeki said South Afri-ca and other countries were still failing to implementing them. “Without the achievement of implementing this legislation, women will still face poverty, unemployment and inequal-ity, even though they are in the majority. Our democracy must respond to the demands and concerns of women,” said Mbeki.

He added that women lost chances of promotion and salary increments because of family commitments and responsibil-

ities such as breastfeeding. He said that girls lagged behind in their studies because of the responsibilities of fetching fire-wood and water from the river, while boys could concentrating in their studies.

“Because of these challenges, we have fewer girls at primary schools, but that changes at tertiary levels as we started to see more girls than boys,” said Mbeki, while adding that the majority of boys dropped out of schools for different reasons.

He also mentioned that re-search found that the household income of female-headed fam-ilies was smaller than those of the male-headed families.

Mr Albert Mafhala was elected the new chaiperson of the Vhembe National Association of School Governing Bodies (NASGB) during a recent event at the Makhado Hall in Biaba.

The UAAC's Archbishop Elias Miriri told the youth to embrace education.

“This world, which God has given over to you to live in it, needs youths who are educated. It also needs youths who respect one another, and those who have the respect of the elders as well.”

Those were the words of the Archbishop Elias Miriri of the United African Apos-tolic Church (UAAC) during the youth conference at Mailaskop on Saturday.

“Mudzimu vho sika muthu munwe na munwe vhe na mushumo naye (God has created each one of us with a purpose),” Miriri said. “So, do not let the unfavour-able situation of your family or home be an excuse for your failure in life. Let the Word of God be your light; let it guide

your path.”The annual Mailaskop youth conference

had attracted many people from around Vhembe district. The main aim of the conference is to create a space of moti-vation and encourage for the youths who are still at school.

The issues of HIV and Aids, substance abuse and teenage pregnancy were tackled during the conference.

The chairperson for the UAAC's Tshitale district youths, Vhaingameli Vho-Azwindini Khorombi, said that he was satisfied by the response the youths showed in the conference. “We hope speeches by different speakers will be

helpful to guide these youths in the right direction in life,” he said.

The conference organisers also invited some representatives from skills insti-tutions. Ms Mudzunga Mathelemusa, a representative of the Sukuma Training Academy in Makhado, said that many youths were suffering because of a lack of information. “It is unimaginable that there are a lot of youths out there who still fail to access information relevant to their lives,” she said. “At Sukuma, we offer bursaries to deserving students. So we are vouching to give a computer skills bursary to two Grade 12 pupils who pass at the end of this year.”

Exciting new names for Royal Heritage FestivalThe fourth instalment of the Phalaphala FM Royal Gardens Annual Heritage Festival, one of the country's hottest festivals, which is to be held at Nandoni on 12 September, is a must-see for all music lovers.

With big names and legends on the music scene such as Hugh Masekela, Stimela, Ray Phiri and Kelly Khumalo, signs are that it will be the best ever since its inception in 2012. One of the concert organizers, Shandu Nesengani, said they had spared no expense in roping in the best and the cream of the country's musicians.

“We respected the fans’ wishes and we gave them the chance to vote for their favourite musi-cians and groups and the line-up is as the result of the votes that people cast.

We are happy that we managed to get them all,” he said.

Nesangani further said they had improved on last year and that it would be all systems go this year. "Each year comes with its challenges, but we have improved twofold in terms of parking, security and all other measures that will make revellers feel at home," he said.

He added that the event would also serve as a platform for a unique melting pot of cultures coming together for an enormous celebration. The festival, which is also a celebration of Heritage Month, kicked off with a fun walk, which was led by King Toni Mphephu last year, who is expected to do the same this year.

Nesengani said they were not expecting fewer than 20 000 people at the event. “The festival will provide the province with an opportunity to unify its citizens and the neighbouring countries

to celebrate the rich cultural heritage and promote tourism in the province, elevating the level of growing excite-ment amongst young adults, emerging business individuals, students and tourist enthusiasts,” he added

The line-up includes Stimela, Ko,

Mobi Dixion, DJ Fisherman, Major League, Tholi B, DJ Tira, DJ Soul Sonic, DJ Dr G, DJ Nipro, DJ Soul sonic, Kanakana “Cook”, Corner Stoane, DJ Nipro, Postman, Fizzy, Malondolo, Khakhati & Friends and many more.

Khubvi bring no peace for Frelimo Bucs on top in Limpopo Dairy LeagueKhubvi Peace Makers made no peace with Makwarani Frelimo Boys, whom they beat 2-0 in their Mulindavha-hu Soccer Challenge match at the Khubvi Tshiseluselu grounds on Sunday. Frelimo Boys approached the game aggressively, with their mid-fielders dishing out danger-ous passes to their strikers. Their original stamina van-ished with time.

Their centre forward, Lin-

Gogobole Bucs emerged as the champions of the Limpopo Dairy League after their 3-0 victory over Matika FC at Tshikota last Sunday.

Matika created some prom-ising moves from behind in the opening minutes, but their strikers let them down by shoot-ing aimlessly. Their overlap-

delani Matshevha, was reprimanded with a card for a danger-ous tackle on Rudzani Mmbengeni in the 14th minute. Frelimo Boys came close to scoring in the 24th minute when Shumani Ratshilumela went loose from the right corner and fumbled at the goal finish. Peace Makers took the lead in the 29th minute.

Rudzani Mmben-geni caught the keep-er of Frelimo Boys, Mukhethwa Makhari, napping with a vol-ley from the 35-meter area. Peace Makers continued to dictate terms for the remain-ing part of the first half, but it was diffi-cult for them to beat the Boys’ defence.

Frelimo Boys strengthened their midfield by introducing Khar-endiwe Ramukhadi for Shumani Ratshilumela four minutes into the last half.

Peace Makers threatened to score again in the 64th minute. Madambi Badzhi caused an upset after receiving a neat pass from Sakaria Makhale within the box.

Instead of picking a spot, Badzhi shot aimlessly. Peace Makers increased the lead in the

78th minute. Sakaria Makhale scored from the corner kick spot. The ball hit the back of the net without further touch.

Peace Makers were reduced to t10 men two minutes after-wards. Edzisani Mukhethiwa was given his marching orders, following a second bookable offence. Frelimo Boys failed to capitalize on the setback as Peace Makers managed to maintain their lead until the final whistle was blown.

Rinae Nenzhelele of Frelimo Boys hooks the ball, while Rudzani Mmbengeni of Peace Makers intercepts.

ping midfielder, Reason Malenga, had his chance in the 15th minute. He received a neat pass from German Tshikovhi and shot wide from just outside the box.

The visitors from Gogobole knocked on Matika’s door in the 24th minute. Takalani Bakali tried his luck from the edge of the box. His volley hit the crossbar and bounced out of the field of play for a goal kick. That did not kill their fight-ing spirit. Bucs were rewarded with a goal in the 29th minute. Hu-lisani Funyufunyu was on target, following a mix-up within the box.

Matika lost cohesion in the middle of the park after the goal. They were severely punished and Bucs made it 2-0 before the half-time whistle. Their second goal came via Luten-do Ramalivha, whose

close-range ground cutter was too hot for the Matika keeper, Isaac Mukwevho, to handle.

In the second half, Matika cooled the ball down in the mid-dle of the park, giving their op-ponents no chance to do as they pleased. They were strong in the far-back and the striking-force departments, but the team lacked

cohesion in the middle of the park.

Bucs’ third goal came in the 85th minute, when Takalni Baka-li dribbled past three Matika defenders in a row and scored easily. Matika got a chance, but their striker, Justice Singo, shot wide with only the keeper to beat late in the match.

SAFA Vhembe: Masters League

The former striker of Black Leopards, Rodney Ramagalela, joined the newly promoted Lamontville Golden Arrows three weeks ago. He scored the only goal when his side beat the University of Pretoria 1-0 at the Chatsworth Stadium in Durban last Saturday. Ramagalela moved to Mamelodi Sundowns when Black Leopards were relegated to the National First Division three years ago.

The ceremony will start at 14:00.

Thiathu Mudau of Green Mambas escapes with the ball, while Oriel Mulovhedzi of Young Tigers goes the wrong way.

MT Green Mambas booked a place in the semifinal stage of the prestigious Mulindavhathu Soccer Challenge by beating Makonde Young Tigers 3-1 at the Khubvi Tshiseluselu grounds on Saturday.

Both sides played 70 minutes of the game with 10 men. This after Israel Mukununde of Green Mambas and Aluwani Munyai of Young Tigers were given their marching orders in

the 20th minute. What started as a small argument

between Mukununde and Munyai gave rise to a fistfight and the referee, Mr Chris Mugeri, did not hesitate to send them off.

It took Young Tigers 14 minutes to realize that it was not their day. Their centre forward, Moses Mutwanamba, forced his way through the defence of Mambas and shot wide with the keep-er already beaten. The scoreboard was

still asking for numbers when the teams adjourned for half time.

Green Mambas were the first to blow the trumpet. Pfarelo Randima received a neat pass from Rofhiwa Nekhumbe and blasted in a rocket from the edge of the box. Lufuno Mu-londo of Young Tigers was booked for a late tackle on Unarine Matodzi in the 54th minute.

The wheel of fortune turned against Young Tigers again in the 59th min-ute. Green Mambas increased the margin via Kholwani Nemanashi, who scored with a header after a cor-ner kick that was taken by Zwivhuya Sikhwari.

Green Mambas did not stop fight-ing, despite the fact that their play-maker, Russel Munyai, was rep-rimanded with a card in the 67th minute.

He obstructed Aluwani Munyai just outside the penalty box. Green Mam-bas replaced Rofhiwa Nekhumbe with Itani Sikhipha two minutes later. They put matters beyond doubt in the 74th minute when Unarine Matodzi hooked in a loose ball after a scramble within the box.

The Tigers’ solitary goal came via Oriel Mulovhedzi six minutes before the final whistle.

Khubvi Dangerous Darkies gave Musasenda Big Five a day to remember when they brutally walloped them 8-3 in their Mulindavhathu Soccer Challenge match at the Khu-bvi Tshiseluselu grounds on Saturday.

Darkies made their intentions clear from the fi rst whistle. Their captain, Avhatakali Tshivhase, capitalized on a clearing error and scored their opening goal within the fi rst minute.

Big Five came back to the game moments later. A defend-

er of Darkies handled the ball within the box and the referee, Mr Calvin Nemavhola, awarded a penalty to Big Five. Nzumb-ululo Rambuda converted from the spot.

Big Five’s equalizer seemed to have been an insult to Darkies as they scored fi ve more goals before the half-time whistle. Azwifarwi Ramatsea was on target with a volley in the 11th minute. As if they were hypno-tized, Big Five lost cohesion in the middle of the park.

That gave Darkies a good

chance to score two quick goals via Avhashoni Makhoshi and Simon Nkhumeleni. Their fi fth goal was registered in Tinyiko Manganye’s name. He headed home, following a corner kick that was taken by Avhatakali Tshivhase.

Big Five replaced Daniel Ma-simbane with Rabelani Mudau as a way to control the damage. That did not stop Darkies from scoring the sixth goal in the 39th minute. Avhashoni Makhoshi was on target with a ground cutter, fol-lowing a mix-up within the box.

8-3 for DarkiesBy Frank Mavhungu

T h e c a p t a i n o f Dar kies, Avhatakali Tshivhase, was booked for dangerous play two minutes before half time. Darkies scored the seventh through Tinyiko Manganye four min-utes into the last stanza. Big Five pulled one back through Thilivhali Mbedzi. He beat the keeper with a volley. Mbedzi forced his way through the defence of Darkies and scored the third soon afterwards.

Fhumulani Raboho beat the offside trap and scored the Darkies’ eighth goal in the 84th minute to seal the game.

Avhashoni Makhoshi of Darkies kicks the ball, while Khuthadzo Masimbane of Big Five is on his heels.

Tshivhidzo Ramatsea of Darkies kicks the ball, while Humbulani Madoba of Big Five intercepts.
