Pro-Makhado member arrestedThe Limpopo Police have announced two more arrests in connection with the recent violence in Vuwani; these arrests took place on Tuesday.

The violence crippled the economy of the region after a total shutdown, and more than 20 schools were torched during the protests in the area. The protests followed the decision by the municipal de-marcation board to merge the area of Vuwani with Malamulele for a new municipal entity in Vhembe.

There has been chaos in the area for months since the total shutdown imposed by the residents to show their disapproval against the government’s move.

The latest arrests are allegedly those of known Pro-Makhado Task Team leaders. The exact location of where they were arrested and the circumstances surrounding their arrest were not immediately made available to the media. The two face charges of public violence, malicious damage to property and incitement to commit violence.

One of the suspects is aged 34, while the other’s age is still to be confi rmed.

The latest arrests bring the number to more than 30 since the start of the police’s clean-up operation. The two are expected to appear in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court today (Friday).

Meanwhile, eight suspects from the Vyeboom area appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on Monday and were charged with public violence. Limpopo police spokesperson Col Ronel

Otto said members investigating the violence in Vuwani were following leads on a suspect who was wanted in connection with the burning of a TLB grader belonging to the local municipality in previous protest action. While tracing the man, Nthatheni Mudau (24), members of the community intervened and tried to prevent the police from arresting the man. Eight people were then arrested, along with Mudau.

He appeared in court on Monday and was charged with arson and malicious damage to property while the other eight were charged with public violence, defeating the ends of justice and interfering with police duties.

The eight are Lufuno George Netshisengani (32), Mashudu George Mudau (27), Lufuno Innocent Malatji (22), Ntshengedzeni Patrick Mashavhela (35), Ronewa Roddick Tshidumo (20), Ompha

Donald Musolwa (18), Adam Mukhadi (19) and Thomas Mukwevho (32).

Their case was postponed to 20 June for further investigations and they will remain in custody.

Limpopo police commissioner Lt Gen Nneke Ledwaba expressed her disappointment about the actions of members of the community and once again urged them to work with the police and not against them.

NOW IN FULL-TIME PRACTICE!

The community of Nzhelele will welcome well-known Vhembe artist Malondolo back home this afternoon (Friday). She recently performed in Paris, France. She will be welcomed during an event at Matidza Kheras Car Wash and it will start at 18:00.

The Vuwani protest action and strikes have gone into a seventh week, disrupting not only schools, but also other services such as refuse removal and court hearings.

More than 20 schools were set alight and van-dalised in Vuwani and surrounding area since the violent protest action started. Some residents are objecting to the inclusion into a new munici-pality, which will take them out of the Makhado Municipality.

Since the violent protests began, residents have

been forced to travel long distances to other areas to access government services. A fortnight ago, Vhavenda King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana met with government ministers and all parties agreed that schools in the area should be allowed to oper-ate. At most schools in the troubled areas, however, no pupils or teachers were seen for the past seven weeks. This effectively left some 50 000 pupils without education.

Refuse is also piling up as municipal services have ground to a halt. Even the court services

were forced to make alternative plans and the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Develop-ment, Justice Masutha, opted to move court services from Vuwani to Thohoyandou.

One of the contestants, Nkjanelo Manganyi.

Young ladies between the ages of 16 and 24 will participate in a Miss Hlanganani beauty pag-eant, hosted by Ndlhulanaswo Trading.

The event will be held at the Bungeni Njhakan-jhaka Hall, today (Friday). The competition, which is expected to be an annual event, aims to nurture young modelling talent. Through the beauty pag-eant the organisers hope to teach young women in the region the importance of setting and achieving goals in life.

The organiser, Mr Bavi Shivuri, said they would continue to provide a modelling opportunity to uncover local talent. “I decided to do something to contribute to development of my community, and that is where the idea came into being. This will be a key opportunity to promote the talented ladies in the region,” said Shivuri.

“Our aim is to reach young people and create a complex tool that will make them young achievers. Ndlhulanaswo Trading wants to uplift all young models, irrespective of their background, and help them to reach their dreams,” he said.

Shivuri thanked all the stakeholders who are supporting the event. The event will start at 18:00 until late and there will be artists during the event who will entertain the guests.

Local taxi owner Mr Rabelani Wilson Musandiwa (64) who was assasinated in the front garden of his Louis Trichardt home last Thursday. Photo supplied.

Well-known local taxi owner Mr Rabelani Wilson Musandiwa (64) was shot and killed at his home in Louis Trichardt last Thursday evening, 9 June.

Mr Musandiwa’s death is said to be related to taxi violence. The spokesperson for the Makhado Cluster Police, WO Kedibone Mbatha, told Lim-popo Mirror that Musandiwa was shot at around 15:30. “He was shot from close range and we found 12 cartridges next to his body.”

Musandiwa was shot shortly after arriving at his home in Waterbessie Street. “It is alleged that Musandiwa had just come from a taxi meeting in Musina, when two unknown gunmen came out of nowhere and shot him,” said Mabatha. He said that it was not known whether the killers had been following him. Musandiwa was shot in his garden and police have since opened a case of murder.

Mabatha appealed to members of the public to assist them in their investigation in supplying information that can lead to an arrest. “Investiga-tions continue and no one has been arrested yet,” Mabatha said.

Ms Julia Musandiwa, the widow of the deceased, said they suspected that her husband had been shot by somebody known to the family. “We are still shocked and terrified by his assassination. We used to regard him as our pillar of strength. He was always available to solve our problems,” she said.

Ms Musandiwa said that it was difficult to under-stand why her husband had been killed. “He was a visionary and the strategic thinker of the family’s transport business.” According to her, she heard the shots, but thought they were fireworks. “When I

looked through the window, I saw two men running away,” she added.

Musandiwa is survived by his wife and four children. He will be buried on Friday, 17 June, at Fondwe Tshiendeula at 18:00.


Popular Univen FM DJ passes awayA very popular radio present-er at Univen FM, the 26-year-old Tshilidzi “DJ Chichi” Bulannga, passed away on Saturday.

Tshilidzi joined Univen FM about three years ago, where she presented the Lunch Talk show between 12:00-15:00. She was shifted to host and present Nendila between 09:00-12:00.

DJ Chichi described herself as an ultra-cool radio personality who always had a passion for ra-dio. She will be remembered for her beautiful voice, affectionate smile and love for all people.

Her parents, Mr Edwin and Mrs Lufuno Bulannga, said that they thanked God for the gift of a child who loved them and went on to touch the lives of many people through the medium of radio. “I lost a friend, player-partner and a child,” Mrs Bulannga said. “She would say

‘Mommy’ to me with her beau-tiful voice and it made me feel more of a proud mother. Her last words were: ‘Mommy, I am leaving this world; but you are remaining with Jesus Christ for comfort and company.’”

Tshilidzi started her radio journey at Radio Turf, after which she joined Makhado FM.

Makhado FM’s station man-ager, Mr Makonde Mbedzi, said that Chichi would be remem-bered for her love and zealous-ness about radio.

“We had bonded with her and Makhado FM was her home. She was like a child to me – she was inspired by me and Vho-Mpho Nefale. When she decided to go to Univen FM, she wrote us a beautiful letter of appreciation and farewell. She was a versatile and energetic young lady.”

She was running her compa-

ny, Chichioma Decor Events and Communication Manage-ment, and was the founder of the Abba Foundation that helped the needy.

Even Facebook went abuzz with condolences from friends, colleagues and loved ones across the country.

Rosy Nkosi-Munasi wrote: “May her soul rest in peace. I still can’t believe it. But we can’t question God as he knows what he is doing. Tshilidzi, you played your part in this world now it’s time for you to go to heaven for your rest and enjoyment as there is still life in heaven.”

She is survived by her parents and two brothers. She will be laid to rest on Saturday at around 06:00. The funeral service will be held at Mbilwi Makanga, and the funeral procession will start from her home.

Thengwe to represent SA abroadFive pupils from Thengwe Secondary School in Mutale are to represent South Africa in an inter-national competition. They won the Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) national championship.

The competition was held in Bloemfontein and the school is to represent the country in the SAGE World Cup competition to be held in Manila in the Philippines in August.

The project, named ALCHEMY, that won them the hearts of the judges was about a gas stove that gets its power from cow dung, a pure green initia-tive consistent with the mandate of the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tour-ism (DEDET) of keeping the environment clean.

On Monday, the provincial head of DEDET, Mr Solly Kgopong, and a delegation from the govern-ment visited the school to congratulate the school on their achievement. During the event, the fi ve pupils demonstrated how the dung could be use to generate gas that could be useful in families,

especially in rural settings.Kgopong congratulated the fi ve and the school

on their innovative project. “This is the type of education that we want, education that makes you business-minded and to start your own businesses that would also employ other people. This is our way of encouraging future entrepreneurs and de-velopment, focussing particularly on high-school learners,” he said.

The leader of the group, Thendo Mudau (18), who is in Grade 12, said they were very confi dent that they would come back with a prize from the Philippines. “Our project is very unique in that it uses very cheap raw materials that are accessible to all. This means that, besides the competition, our rural people will benefi t a lot. There is a lot of poverty in this area and this came as an answer where even the unemployed could have access to energy. Cow dung is easily available everywhere.”

The principal of the school, Ms Tshilidzi Madan-da, said she was excited that her school continued

to shine nationally. “We are very proud of these learners and we have all the hope that they will represent our country well abroad,” she said.

The fi ve pupils are Thendo Mudau (18), Oluga-ho Mateka (16), Ernelo Maringa (14), Livhuwani Mudau (17) and Masana Mabaso (15). For their effort, they won their school two trophies, a tablet for each of them and their educator, fi ve entrepre-neurial books for each of them and a free trip to the Philippines.

The programme was launched in Limpopo in 2012. In 2013, two schools (Risinga High School and Dendron Secondary School) from Limpopo represented South Africa at the global competi-tion in Abuja, Nigeria, and then in 2014, Dendron Secondary School represented South Africa in Moscow, Russia.

Both Risinga Secondary School and Dendron Secondary School represented South Africa at the global stages of the competition in Seoul, South Korea in 2015.

A group of poor and vulnerable pu-pils in various schools in and around Folovhodwe will no longer need worry about the freezing weather this winter, thanks to a businessman who donated uniforms to them.

The businessman, Mr Fhatuwani “The Best” Rananga, sponsored uniforms for more than 30 children from schools such as Tshapinda Primary, Ratshibvumo and Dzimauli Secondary Schools.

The pupils received the uniforms, comprising shoes, trousers and T-shirts,

during a ceremony at the Venmag Sports grounds in Folovhodwe village on Monday.

“We found out that there was a need to give to the less fortunate, so that they may be able to realize their dream of taking education seriously. With education, poor learners could change their poor back-grounds for the better,” said Rananga.

“We don’t want learners leaving school because of their poor backgrounds if their parents cannot afford their educational needs. Learners are our future leaders,

and it is up to us who have something to support them,” added Rananga.

The principal of Tshapinda Primary School, Ms Alvina Ramarumo, said that she was thankful for the generous dona-tion from the Good Samaritan.

“In many of our schools there are still numbers of learners who go to school barefoot. Some of our learners are from child-headed families as they lost both parents and they are not in a position to buy school uniforms and shoes on their own,” Ramarumo said.

Jehovah’s Witnesses to convene

Elim girls visit police station

The Circuit Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses will be held this weekend (18 and 19 June) at the Jack Botes Hall in Polokwane.

The programme on the 18th will be in Afrikaans, followed by an English programme on the 19th. The theme for both days is based on Ephesians

5:1 and will be Imitate Jehovah! The public is welcome to attend, there are no entrance fees or collections and each one only needs to bring along his own Bible.

For more information, phone Hannes Wood or Peter Scott at 083 361 6696 or 072 149 6712.

At least four schools in the Elim area have benefited from a take-a-girl-child-to-work campaign that was organised and hosted by the Waterval SAPS’s social crime-pre-vention unit.

The schools that took part in the campaign were Elim High School, Muthuhadini Combined School, Rivoni School for the Blind, and Waterval High School. The event was hosted on 26 May at the Waterval police station, where at least six pupils from each school participated in the day-long project.

The spokesperson for the Waterval police station, Const Cynthia Ndou, said that the pupils were familiarised with the day-to-day work in the police station and the policing field. “We taught them how to attend to complaints, how to arrest a suspect of crime and human resource man-agement,” Ndou said.

Ndou added that the purpose of the project was to acclimatise female pu-pils to the policing field in an attempt to further redress the fear of entering

policing among young girls. “We wanted our girls to have a clear pic-ture and first-hand knowledge on the workings, functions and operations of the police, so that even when they have chosen policing for a career the field of work might not come to them as a rude awaking.”

A Grade 12 pupil at Muthuhadini Combined School, Rebeca Moyo (18), said that she appreciated the practical experience that she had had at the police station.

“I believe that every girl deserves to enjoy spending a day or even a week in the work field of their choice, get-ting to learn all those amazing things about that field.”

The principal of Rivoni School for the Blind, Ms Connie Mabasa, said that the pupils had brought a positive report to her after the campaign. “I am happy that our learners had bene-fited from this positive, instrumental project,” Mabasa said. “They came back with renewed confidence; even today they are still talking about the exposure to the work world.”

Pupils from schools in the Elim area obtained work experience at Waterval Police Station.

Farm workers and farmers in a peaceful protest at the Sibasa Regional Court.

The prevalence of persistent crimes on farms from around the Nandoni Dam area has led farmworkers to protest, saying that the killing of farmers would mean killing their jobs.

Last Thursday, a group of farm workers and their employers protested against crime outside the Siba-sa Regional Court. Waving banners with messages written on, they moved around publicising their plight: “Fed up with crime”.

The farm workers say they have had enough of the never-ending crimes that are taking place around the area, saying it was a recipe for doom that would scare away farmers who were their bread and butter.

Their protest follows an attack that took place last year and other crimes that are continually taking place in the area. The attack last year at the Love and Peace Haven at Nandoni left Trisha Ehlers (31) injured after she was attacked with a knobkierie and pangas. A gun was also pointed to her, with the robbers demanding money from her during the attack. They also tied up her hands.

The attack took place while her husband, Chris, was not at their home. Three men were later arrested after inten-sive investigations.

One of the farm workers, Douglas Maluleke, said as workers they felt that they jobs were no longer secure if farmers were under constant attack. “There is too much crime around farms and as workers we fear that we could soon be without jobs and on the streets as our employers would either be killed or they might think of leaving their businesses because of crime. I have a family with two young children whom I am looking after and taking care of from the salary I am getting from my employer. Just imagine what would become of me if he decides to leave this area,” he said.

Maluleke further said they were

also not safe because the thugs also targeted them. “We are here to give support to our employer and we will be very happy if the three accused are locked in jail for life. The community is not safe with them roaming the streets,” he said.

The victim’s husband, Chris Ehlers, said crime had disorganised his business as he had lost important information that was on the laptop. The arrested suspects are Ndinannyi Maduka (24), Rudzani Makhaya (29) and Thuthani Munyani (23) They have been charged with house robbery. The case was postponed to 8 August.

Min Molewa to appeal against rhino horn rulingIt is once more illegal to sell rhino horns in South Africa.

This follows an application the Department of Environmental Affairs has lodged with the Consti-tutional Court. This latest court action means that the moratorium on domestic trading in rhino horn

will stay in place for the time being.Environmental Affairs Minister

Ms Edna Molewa confirmed last Monday (6th) that she had filed an application for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court. The moratori-um was first challenged in court by rhino breeder Mr Johan Kruger and his Musina-based attorney Mr Hen-nie Erwee during 2012. During 2015, Mr John Hume, one of the country’s largest rhino breeders, also joined in the cause. Both of them argued that the moratorium had fuelled the dramatic increase in rhino poaching.

This led to the setting aside of the moratorium by the Pretoria High Court (HC) on 26 November last year, with immediate and retrospec-tive effect. The court ruled in favour of Kruger and Hume on the basis that the government had failed to follow adequate public consultation process-es before declaring the moratorium back in 2009.

Molewa immediately lodged an application to ask for leave to appeal the verdict. This application was denied, after which she approached the Supreme Court of Appeal. This application was also dismissed, in May this year, with cost.

The Constitutional Court is cur-rently the last sliver of hope the minister is clinging to, to get the HC

ruling overturned.In the meantime, Erwee said that

was high time the minister admitted defeat and quit her department’s wasteful expenditure of taxpayers’ money on frivolous court cases. When contacted for comment last Friday, Erwee confirmed that he had read through the latest application of the minister.

Erwee said he was confident that the original judgment would stand, seeing as the minister’s latest ap-plication was an exact copy of all her previous applications for leave to appeal.

Last week, Minister Molewa said that no permits to trade with rhino horn and/or any derivatives or products of horn would be issued by her department until the matter was finalized by the Constitutional Court. She further also reminded the public that the HC’s judgment did not relate to the international trade in rhino horn for commercial purposes, which was still prohibited in terms of the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

All eyes will be on both CITES and Molewa during the 17th conference of the parties, which will be held in Johannesburg from 24 September to 5 October this year.Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa.


Youth Day celebrations at Musina

Gogo Shingwangwa celebrates 100 years

Youths from Musina and the surrounding villages con-verged at Lesley Manyathela Stadium last Saturday to commemorate the 40th anni-versary of the Soweto youth uprising of 16 June 1976.

Organized by Musina Mu-nicipality and the Department of Health, the event also served as a platform for the youth to motivate each other on how best they can lead a successful life.

Delivering the keynote ad-dress, Mayor Mihloti Muhlope said that the blood of the 1976 youths were not shed in vain. She said the determined and

brave young people of 1976 demonstrated their hunger for equal citizenship, equal educa-tion, freedom, justice, dignity and a better life. According to her, the fight that the youth of today should focus on was to defeat the challenges of pover-ty, unemployment, HIV/Aids, illiteracy and alcohol and drug abuse. “Prove to the criminals and the lawless that they have no friends in our midst. To tack-le these challenges successfully, you must empower yourselves through education,” she added. Muhlope also stated that the municipality’s mayoral bursary

was available to assist young people, so that they could fur-ther their studies at institutions of higher learning. “You are free to come to our offices to get more information about the financial assistance. Several government departments also provide bursaries in various fields to open the doors of learn-ing to the children of the poor and the working class.”

Presentations were also given by the South African Youth Council, the Department of Health and the local entrepre-neur youth ambassador, Agree-ment Baloyi.

Everything came to a standstill at Mahonisi in Elim as Gogo Kwokwana Nwamakasani Shingwangwa celebrated her 100th birthday. She was born on 6 June 1916.

Members of her family and friends came from afar to cel-ebrate her important day with her, which was organised by her grandchildren.

At 100, Gogo Shingwangwa is still able to see and recognise people. She can still hear and talk without any assistance, but she can’t walk anymore and is using

a wheelchair.Gogo Shingwangwa is a de-

voted follower of the Evan-gelical Presbyterian Church. During the event, a caregiver from Elim-Hlanganani, empha-sised Shingwangwa’s love and respect for God. Her neighbour, Mrs Lillian Nkuna, said that Shingwangwa had reached 100 years because she always ate healthy food. “She eats fish and vegetables to keep her healthy and strong,” said Nkuna.

The gogo’s granddaughter, Ms Jerminah Khosa, said that

her grandmother had been a mo-tivation in her life. “She always motivated me to take education seriously, to eat healthy food and to stay away from drugs and alcohol,” said Khosa. “You are very special to us, and we wish you many more years,” she add-ed. She also added that she learnt respect from her grandmother.

During the event, the acting mayor of the Makhado Munic-ipality, Cllr Grace Nkanyane, handed over blankets and food to the old lady on behalf of the Makhado Municipality.

Legacy of Mpho Regalo “continues to speak” Actor Dobaman laid to rest

Awareness campaign

Hundreds of music lovers braved the cold and attended the Mpho Regalo Tribute Concert that was held at the Christ Worship House in Shayandima on Saturday night.

The representative of the Dzuvha Foundation, who hosted the event, Dakalo Gangashe, said that the event had gone well and that the people had started sending in positive remarks about the event. The day was also attended by the mayor of Thulamela Municipality,

Cllr Grace Mahosi. Apostle Dr MA Masakona fed the audience with words of inspiration. “The event made a mark as the fi rst hosted by Dzuvha Foundation, which was given the responsibility by the family of the late award-winning artist,” Gangashe said.

Mpho Regalo tragically passed away on 14 May last year after he was involved in a fatal car accident. His album, I am a winner, had earned him a lot of respect and accolades. He received awards from

FAME and INGOMA in the Best Song Writer category, and at the Tshivenda Music Awards for Best Male Gospel Artist and Song Writer.

Another gospel singer, Thabelo Net-shiunda, praised all the people who were involved in the hosting of the event. “We are gospel artists and we will contintue to cherish the legacy of Mpho Regalo,” said Thabelo. “Mpho left us with a beautiful child and we will give support to the child, so that he may get a

Third generation of family to lead NictusAgriculture

Farming community participate in Imbizo

Some of the community members who attended the Musina mayoral imbizo at Maroi.

Hundreds of communi-ty members in the Maroi farming area braved the cold weather to engage their elect-ed political leadership and sector department represen-tatives during the Musina mayoral imbizo that took place at the Maroi School’s soccer field on Sunday.

The Maroi farming area falls under Ward 2 of Musina Mu-nicipality.

The imbizo forms part of the consultative process to make sure that community members are playing their roles in the decision-making processes of the municipality. The well-at-tended meeting was targeted at farm workers who normally do not have enough time to visit Musina town for government services.

Municipal spokesperson Mr Wilson Dzebu says the munici-

pality uses imbizos as a two-way platform of sharing information that demonstrates responsive-ness to the needs of the people. “This is a basis for sustained dialogue between government and people and a mechanism for fact-finding by government to align services with the needs of the people. This assists us in realizing an efficient, effective development-orientated public service and empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship through a well-functioning communica-tion system that also proactively informs and engages the public about what the government is doing to improve their lives.”

Cllr Fistos Mafela said the municipality used the event as a unique participatory platform, given its ability to foster active participatory and meaningful di-alogue between the council and communities. “It is important to

demonstrate to our people that all three spheres of government work together to make sure that the much-needed services are delivered to ordinary people in the streets. Government has in-troduced a variety of platforms in an effort to consolidate, monitor and respond swiftly to public concerns – and this is just one of them.

The people have elected us and gave us the mandate to work for them and this is the opportu-nity to report back to them how far we have gone in addressing their needs.”

He said the municipality was doing its best to deliver basic services to the farming areas, despite the fact that most of the farms were on private land. Mafela promised the farming community that all the issues raised would be attended to as a matter of urgency.

Nictus Limited has announced the appointment of Gerard Tromp as its new managing director, with effect from 18 April 2016. He follows in the footsteps of Nico Tromp, who stepped down after 37 years of service. Nico, who succeeded the group’s founder, P J de W Tromp, will con-tinue to serve on the board as a non-executive director.

The board unconditionally approved Tromp’s succession in his father’s role, based on the balance of evidence of his experience, and his trustworthy managerial track record within the group.

Tromp said although his appointment might appear counter-intuitive, the benefit of the transfer over successive generations brought a long-term orientation toward sustainability in the group. Awareness of the responsibility of stewardship stretches back to his youth and looks ahead to generations to come. The long-term approach, he notes, also serves the interests of shareholders.

Speaking about his appointment, he said although three generations of the family had fostered the group’s growth through a transfer of values, the group’s values system was formalised in cor-porate philosophy and permeated management decisions on a day-to-day basis. The group, he said, pinned itself on King III governance principles, as well as managerial and oper-ational best practices by appointing skilled, professional managers.

Talking about the fu-ture of the group, Tromp said its primary goal was long-term growth for its shareholders. Citing the Nictus 2015 annual

report, he said the group showed strong growth, with 2015 assets increasing to R501 million, up by 15% from R433.7 million in 2014. The group stated assets of R334 million in 2013 subsequent to unbundling from its Namibian operations, with the same name, in 2012.

Tromp went on to say that the South African entity was currently reinvesting in the sustainable development of its footprint in the furniture and short-term insurance segments. “We believe that, in spite of current volatility in the region, there is ample room for growth in the South African mar-ket, and that our reinvestment is a valid reflection of this operational priority,” he said.

Tromp added that rapid consumer uptake with-in the group’s footprint confirmed the value of reinvestment in growth. Growth, Tromp said, was underpinned the group’s ethos of service, value and consistent application of current best practice and integrity. “Our consistent growth since unbundling has given us a clear indication that this is indeed the case,” he concluded.

Members of the community attended the re-branding of SABC Radio Phalaphala FM’s new logo and slogan (Rinanwi misi yothe) at 2Ten Hotel Sibasa last Wednesday evening in large numbers.

Among the guests were Khosikhulu Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, MEC for Public Works, Raods and Infrastructure Jerry Ndou, SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago, SABC chief operations officer Hlaudi Mot-soeneng and many senior tradi-tional leaders around Vhembe.

Most of the guests welcomed the new changes. Before the event to celebrate this milestone, King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana invited Mr Hlaudi Motsoeneng for a courtesy visit to the royal palace. The king has welcomed the station’s re-branding. The decision by the SABC not to broadcast footage showing the destruction of public property has also received the thumbs up from the king.

Phalaphala FM’s station

manager, Mr Freddy Sadiki, said that the radio station previously known as Radio Venda had turned 51 this year. To celebrate the journey into the next50 years the SABC radio station is revelling in change. It has been 18 years since the station re-branded and there is no better way to celebrate than to get a facelift.

He said since its early days in 1965, when the station shared a three-hour broadcast per day with the then Radio Tsonga to a full 24-hour broadcast in 1978, the station had morphed to reflect the ever-changing landscape of the country and its listeners. “The re-branding is not just about leav-ing the past, it is about reflecting on our own changes from ana-logue to digital,” says Sadiki.

“We can now be heard in so many other ways, from digital radio and TV to online. Radio is no longer just in the home or in the car. Listeners are far more engaged now, listening on phones, computers, TVs, and the list goes on,” said Mr Motsoeneng.

MEC urges women to pray for the governmentThe MEC for Social Development, Ms Joyce Mashamba, has urged churches and women to pray for the leadership in government that they live up to their mandate from their con-stituencies.

Mashamba was speaking to thousands of women from all branches of the United African Apostolic Church ( UAAC) in Southern Africa who had converged for their annual women´s conference at the Maila grounds on Sunday. Mashamba asked

members of the church to pray that there will be peace and an end to crime in the province.

She acknowledged that women still had a lot of challenges to face, some of which were illiteracy and poverty. She said that such problems could be dealt with by giving women equal opportunities as men, particularly at the work place. She also urged girls to stay away from early marriages as it limited their chances of success, thereby creating more and more pov-erty. Mashamba said she was excited that the church had organised such a conference where women from all walks of life could meet and chart the way forward together. “It is through such gatherings that we as women can sit down and decide on ways that we could contribute to the fight against crime, and the church has offered us

the right platform,” she said.Bishop Elias Miriri, leader of

UAAC, said that besides the spiri-tual needs of the people, the UAAC also initiated projects that alleviated poverty among the communities and it also assisted those affected by the scourge of HIV/Aids.

Thovhele Vho-Vhutshilo Nthaba-lala Ramabulana said the UAAC was contributing to the transformation and development of the country. He thanked its leadership for working hand in hand with the government and the traditional leaders. He said he was shocked to learn of the high prevalence of rape on women in his locality. “I am here because of women and I would not be a traditional leader if I was not born of a woman. I respect them and will always preach to my subjects to do the same,” he said.

Photographed during the event are, from left to right, Chief Livhuwani Matsila, Thovhele Vho-Vhutshilo Nthabalala Ramabulana, Bishop Elias Miriri, MEC Joyce Mashamba and Vhamusanda Vho-Nduvheni.

The vision of the Vhembe district is that the area will become the food basket of the province and the entire country, said the acting executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM), Cllr Humbulani Mathavha. He was speaking during the awarding of the Vhembe District’s Young Farmer Entrepreneur Awards in the Dzanani Community Hall outside Nzhelele last Thursday. He urged young people in the Vhembe region who are interested in farming to form cooperatives in order to utilize the market efficiently. “We are fully aware that we are contesting the food-basket status with Mopani District, but our fertile land always gives us an advantage and we have the potential to become a food production hub. We are saluting the youth of our district in their relentless struggle for food security and the development of the agricultural sector of our economy,” he added. Khuliso Mulaudzi (31), of Mutari farm in Nwanedi, was the top producer in the informal market. He grows tomatoes, butternuts and maize and encourages others to take agriculture seriously because one can make a living through agriculture.

One of the oldest schools in South Afri-ca, Lukau Primary, recently celebrated 102 years of existence.

The celebration, which took place at the school premises, was attended by Limpo-po Education MEC Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe. Former principals, teachers and pupils of Lukau also attended the event.

Kgetjepe praised the school for produc-ing students who became leaders of the community at different levels.

He also used the opportunity to con-demn the burning of schools in Vuwani and surrounding areas. “No amount of

anger will ever justify the destruction of property,” he added.

“How are we going to produce eminent persons that this school has produced over the years if education continues to be caught in the crossfire every time there is a public protest? We will not be able to produce media personalities and leaders of the character of the late Victor Ravhuanzwo,” said Kgetjepe.

According to the chairperson of the school governing body, Mr Vincent Mariba, the school was established by Lutheran Church missionaries in 1914.

It started with two classrooms and 210 learners from different areas within Mu-tale as there was no other primary school in the area. The nearest primary school was at Maungani, also started by Lutheran missionaries.

Mariba also mentioned that Mr Madock Ravhuanzo was the principal and in 1977 the school moved from its original loca-tion across the road, where it is situated at present.

Parents built some of the classes of the current school, which now has 414 pupils, 10 teachers and an acting principal.

After disappearing from the music scene for about two years, a well-known local reg-gae artist, Khathu Nemapate, has resurfaced with a bang. His fi fth album, A ni mmboni, was released two months ago and according to the artist, the demand is higher than he can supply.

The album consists of 12 songs. Songs like Ni do vha fha mini naa, Hune mbilu yanga ya vha hone, U mala ndo mala and the title track, A ni mmboni, have made the new release an instant hit with his fans.

According to Nemapate, his love of reggae music started

in 2006. He enjoyed listening to the music of reggae legend Colbert “Harley” Mukwevho.

In 2010 he went to the record-ing studio to try his luck. His debut album, Vhuyani hayani, was released later that year. Nemapate stated that the album is still selling well, despite the fact that it was released six years ago. Vhuyani hayani was followed by Ndo tshinya mini in 2011. His third album, Kha nne ndi lufuno, was on the market in June 2012.

The year 2014 saw Nemapate go back to the studio, where he recorded his fourth album, Ni sale ni tshi tamba. According to

Nemapate, the fourth album did not live up to expectations when it came to sales. He attributed the album’s poor performance to poor marketing, saying he did not put enough effort into marketing the album.

Nemapate, a social worker by profession, is concerned about the skyrocketing rate of music piracy. When asked how possi-ble it was for him to strike the balance between music and his job as a social worker, Nemap-ate said that it was all about time management.

The Vhembe Music Association praised the SABC’s decision to play 90% local content across its 18 radio stations.

The secretary of the association, Mr Tshidino Ndou (photo), said the association was surprised that critics had already started slam-ming the SABC’s chief operations offi cer, Mr Hlaudi Motsoeneng, for implementing this new rule. “As local artists, we see this policy as a great move that will help in the promotion and improvement of our local music industry,” he said.

According to Motsoeneng’s statement, all the SABC radio stations are expected to abide by the new rule. He repeated the very statement during Phalaphala FM’s re-branding event last Wednesday.

Tshidino said that people who criticised Motsoaneng’s move for giving local music fair airplay, were only sending out a wrong message that most Africans didn’t believe in themselves. “Hlaudi appeals to South Africans to start believing in themselves and local talents,” Ndou said.

Meanwhile, Motsoeneng said that the new policy would ensure that the government and people were supporting South African artists, which showed that South Africans had a high self-esteem as a nation.

Tshidino told Limpopo Mirror that when the 90% rule was im-plemented, the association had noticed changes on Phalaphala FM programmes. “We are excited that Phalaphala FM took the 90% poli-cy further by playing almost 100% of Tshivenda music,” he said.

Ndou indicated that the 90% decision came at a time when the music association was two months old.

“Furthermore, I would like to make a serious call to my fellow artists to produce quality content that will not disappoint the SABC and listeners out there,” he said. “It’s about time that local musi-cians take music seriously and start producing original and quality content that people can be proud of. Let’s take advantage of this 90% rule.”

The chief operating offi cer of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), Mr Hlaudi Motsoeneng, has announced that Phalaphala FM will relocate from Polokwane to Thohoy-andou in September.

He made the announcement during the rebrand-ing of the station’s new logo at 2Ten Hotel last Wednesday.

The broadcaster has implemented many chang-es to its broadcasting and editorial policies over the past few weeks.

Last month, the SABC announced that it would no longer give coverage to images of property being destroyed during violent protests.

“If we as a public broadcaster can’t defend our own languages, our languages will disappear. We need to make sure that we treat all languages

equally. So within television platforms from the fi rst of July, you will see a different SABC … I have been saying to colleagues that transformation is not negotiable, we just implement it.”

King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana has wel-comed the SABC’s decision to relocate Phal-aphala FM to Thohoyandou. The relocation of the station is part of a long-standing agreement between the SABC and Vhavenda traditional leaders. “We welcome the move and are happy about the it.” He said that the move would be very diffi cult, especially for Phalaphala FM employees to relocate with their families. “Kids are already at school and some have families working in Polok-wane. Most of you have houses around there and to move and start a new life will be diffi cult,” said Mphephu. King Mphephu-Ramabulana has also welcomed the SABC’s stance on not broadcasting footage of protesters destroying public property.

“Economic freedom in my lifetime will only be realised once we start supporting local,” said the head of Zimele, Mr Tsepo Monaledi, at the De Beers Zimele Youth Business Seminar held in Musina last Tuesday. The seminar, which hosted young entrepreneurs and business owners from Musina and Blouberg, provided academic and practical advice and mentorship on topics ranging from entrepreneurial landscapes and opportunities in South Africa to accessing business finance and support. In addition to empowering local businesses and providing them with the tools needed to address their challenges, local SMMEs were also acknowledged for excellence in areas such as business administration, agriculture and community impact.

Mamu Community Sports Development launched the three-day-long Youth Day activi-ties at Total Makhado on Saturday.

The representatives of the sponsors were invited and afforded an opportunity to speak about the importance of helping the youth through sporting activities.

The general secretary of Mamu Community Sport Development, Mr Jafter Mamugudubi, said that the event actracted hundreds of youths and par-ents alike each year. “Our area will not do without the kind of sport and recreational activities we hold quarterly every year,” he said.

The activities are held at Mabaleng sport centre at Tshiozwi for the Sinthumule and Kutama resi-dents. The activities started on Thursday and will run until Saturday. Each day’s events will start at 09:00.

One of the sponsors, Total Makhado manager Ms Florence Ramahu-ma, said that the youth needed to be celebrat-ed and encouraged to engage in projects that impacted on their lives. “We would like to see more events of this na-ture happening in this area, so that we could be of help to our youth,” Ramahuma said.

The activities include, among others, cycling, a fun-run, soccer, net-ball, chess, volleyball, tshigombela, malen-de, Sarafina, gumboot dance, and drama. Entry to the children’s play-

ground will be free, and the kids will enjoy activ-ities such as a jumping castle, face painting and kiddies’ rides.

The activities are organised annually by Mamu Community Sports Development and sponsored by businesses such as Premjee & Son Cash and Carry, KFC, PostNet Makhado, Talisman, Pow-erade, Collins Sebola Inc, Hyundai Louis Trichardt, Inspecta Car Louis Trichardt, CashBuild, Phadziri & Sons Bus Service, Muswobi Contruction, NTK, Wisani Baloyi Incorporated, Phuluso Ambulance, Denova, Leach Printers, Muduluni Building Design & Construction, Tradepost207 cc, Ndou Cabs, Caterpack, Leyvian, Total Makhado, Afrox, Riashumisana Event Management, Selby Hair Salon, Hollywoodbets, ET Tshipota Electrical, Makhado Municipality and Fire Fly Bakery.

Happy Boys scrape through to semi-finalsMadandi la Happy Boys booked a place in the semifi-nal stage of the prestigious Boy Nemakonde KO competition by beating Mubvumoni FC 4-3 in their quarterfinal match at the Tshifudi Stadium on Saturday.

Happy Boys deserved to win, but their strikers seemed to have forgotten their scoring boots at home. Ndivhuwo Mudzanani of Happy Boys soon realized that it was not his day when he missed a sitter in the 10th minute. This after he had received a neat pass from Avhashoni Nevhungoni within the box.

Happy Boys dictated terms in all departments. Ndamulelo Gumbu of Mubvumoni was booked for a late tackle on Maluta Mutshinya in the 27th minute. Mubvumoni showed more spirit of commitment in the opening minutes of the last half. They nearly took the lead in the 57th minute when Da-kalo Nemusunda went loose from the left corner and shot straight to the stranded keeper.

Mubvumoni started to play defensive football after they were reduced to 10 men. Nda-muleo Gumbu was given his marching orders, following a second bookable offence in the 64th minute. Happy Boys

failed to capitalize and they also started to play defensive football as if they were leading.

Ndaedzo Matshomo of Mub-vumoni was warned with a card for a simulation. He wriggled within the box as if he had been badly tackled and the referee,

Mr Mulalo Mubva, reprimanded him with a card.

No goal was scored during regulation time and the winner was determined through penalty shootout. Happy Boys converted four of their five chances while Mubvumoni scored three.

Masana Skills and Develop-ment is sponsoring the Tshi-kuwi Primary School to the tune of R495 000 for the next three years to assist the school with its chess and maths pro-grammes. The sponsorship was officially announced during a function at Masana Resort about two weeks ago.

According to the chief execu-tive officer of Masana Skills De-velopment, Mr Phineus Muladi, they will continue, and possibly increase, the sponsorship. “The sponsorship is a token of appre-ciation for the support we are get-ting from communities,” he said.

Muladi criticized teachers who are involved with drugs. “Imag-

ine the teacher who is supposed to be a role model selling dagga to the pupils. What type of future leaders are we expecting from that generation? We are also se-riously concerned about commu-nity members who sell alcoholic beverages to school kids. Can you imagine a learner dressed in school uniform, queuing in the bottle store for beer?” he said. He encouraged pupils to combine sport with education.

The principal of Tshikuwi Primary, Ms Lufuno Mutengwe, thanked Masana Skills Devel-opment for developing chess and maths in the rural areas. She appealed to other business people to follow Masana’s example.

Mr Malusi Lekalakala from Tsogo Sun described Muladi as “a selfless and caring father”. He said it was painful to see that most business people were not ploughing back into the community.

Professor Alfred Nevhutanda from the Nevhutanda Founda-tion also encouraged youngsters to take education seriously and told them not to rush to “make a quick buck before securing your future”. “Education is the key that can open closed doors for a sportsman or artist. One must be able to read and understand con-tracts and also have somewhere to go when one’s sporting career is over,” he said.

The teams that had made it to the semis are: Tshaulu Hungry Lions, Tshaulu Mighty Powerlines, Munangwe United Brothers and Madandila Happy Boys.

The draws for the semifinal matches were conducted at the Tshifudi Stadium shortly after the last quarterfinal match last Saturday.

Munangwe United Brothers and Madandila Happy Boys will lock horns in the second match at 15:00.

Madandila Happy Boys beat Mubvumoni FC 4-3 in the quarterfinal stage to secure a place in the semis. Powerlines’ way to the semifinal went via Gunda Blue Birds, whom they brutally walloped 4-0, while Munangwe United Brothers beat Buluni Happy Boys 6-5 in their quarterfinal match.

Tshaulu Hungry Lions’ way to the semis was not an easy one. They beat Nnduvheni FC 5-4 in the quarterfinal stage. The winner was determined through a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 full-time draw.

The players to watch in Sunday’s matches are Ntsiruweni Mbedzi and Ntshuxeko Si-mango (Powerlines), Welcome Nevhutalu and Isaac Sigidane (Hungry Lions) and Mukovhe Khalushi and Witness Mafuna (Happy Boys).

According to one of the organizers of the tournament, Mr Eric Murudi, all teams and their fans, including those booted out in the quarterfinal stage, will be provided with transport to and from the stadium on Sunday.

Welcome Nevhutalu of Hungry Lions.

Madridtas' managing director, Mr Ndivhuwo “DJ” Nthai.

Although they had missed promo-tion to the ABC Motsepe League by a whisker, Madridtas Football will be campaigning in the ABC Motsepe League when the activities for the new season start in three months' time.

According to the managing di-rector of the team, Mr Ndivhuwo “DJ” Nthai, they had successfully purchased the ABC Motsepe League franchise from the Tzaneen-based side, Nkowankowa Barcelona. He said that the deal was the fi nal product of closed-door negotiations with the owners of Barcelona.

He stated that after missing promo-tion through the play-offs at the Oscar Mphetha Stadium in Polokwane two weeks ago, he felt that he should do something for the team’s enthusiastic supporters, who had been behind the team through thick and thin. “Our team had the biggest number of sup-porters at the promotional play-off tournament in Polokwane and it was painful for me to see them coming back home with tears in their eyes,” he said.

He added that buying a franchise was his token of appreciation to the fans for their loyalty. According to him they had already started with

preparations for the new season. Nthai said that their intention was to use Tshifudi Stadium as their home ground, depending on their negotiations with the Thulamela Municipality.

According to him, they wanted to persuade the municipality to provide a security fence around the pitch urgently as that was one of the re-quirements before the stadium could be approved as a venue to host ABC Motsepe League matches.

“If Tshifudi Stadium does not meet the minimum requirements as required by Safa, we will be forced to use Makwarela or Makhuvha Stadium as our home ground,” he said. The Madridtas deal brings the number of ABC Motsepe League clubs in the Vhembe District to three. Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) bought the status from Bilika All Stars last week (See a report elsewhere in the paper.)

The provincial secretary of the league, Mr Patrick Seema, confi rmed both Madridtas and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila’s transactions, saying there were three clubs from Vhembe District in the league at the moment, including Joe Maweja FC.

Local boys a cycling force to be reckoned withLouis Trichardt’s fi rst ever profes-sional team to compete in the gruelling 175km Kremetart One-Day Stage Race proved to be a force to be reck-oned with.

Two weeks ago, Team Tac-Pulse faced some of the top names on the South African racing scene. “The guys proved that they can become mega-contenders,” said team manager Stanley Thompson after the race.

The idea of entering a local team was adopted by the newly established Soutpansberg Cycling Club to promote the aims and objectives of Soutpansberg Youth Cycling – a newly formed club to promote the sport of cycling among the region’s youth.

This was a goal, said Thompson, that Team Tac-Pulse achieved with confi -dence, even though they did not secure a stage win.

Days before the race, the team was informed that they would be split from their team captain, because each team member had to compete in his respective age category.

The team mostly consisted of Louis Trichardt’s top mountain bikers, which included Kombo Bere, Gerhart Meyer, Richard Lambert, Douglas Archer and Marco Roets, along with two more senior

and experienced roadies, Rick Coetzee and Jandré van Jaarsveld.

Richard, being under the age of 16, was not allowed to compete in the 175km race. Team captain Rick had to compete in the sub-veteran category of the race and could only catch up with his team between the various stages. Kombo, Jandré, Marco and Gerhart competed in the elite men’s category. Douglas com-peted in the men's U/18 category, but was never too far behind his team mates in the elite bunch.

All fi ve of them proved their mettle and kept up with the elite peloton, which in itself is an enormous feat for newcom-ers in such a big race.

During the fi rst stage, crossing the Soutpansberg and completing the 54km to Waterpoort, Marco, Kombo, Gerhart and Jandré fi nished together, 11 minutes behind Bradley Potgieter (the overall winner).

At Waterpoort, the warmer tempera-ture also helped to rid the team of mus-cles that cramped because of the cold temperature at the start. The following stage, which is considered a fast 48km, despite the slow climb into Vivo, saw Kombo fi nishing ninth, only four minutes behind Herman Fouché, who won the second stage.

Gerhart followed 10 seconds behind Kombo, with Marco, Jandré and Doug-las fi ve, 15 and 18 minutes respectively behind Fouché.

The infamous headwinds on the 52km stretch of stage 3 and the steep uphill fi n-ish at Schoemansdal, however, really put the team to the test. Kombo and Gerhart came in fi ghting for a spot among the top 10. In the end, Kombo dropped two places from his previous stage placing and fi nished 11th overall, two minutes behind the fi rst elite rider, Dusty Day. Gerhart took the 12th position, an amazing three hundredths of a second difference between him and Kombo. They were followed by Marco, Douglas and Jandré, who came in three, 25 and 26 minutes behind Day.

Following Otto’s Hoogte in the fi nal stage, Kombo and Marco made short work of the dreaded uphill climb and took the last two spots among the top 10 fi nishers in the stage, three minutes behind Potgieter.

At the end of the day, Kombo boasted an overall 12th position with a combined time of 4:50:47.09. Gerhart finished 14th overall in 4:52:39.63, Marco 15th in 4:53:33.15, Jandré 19th in 5:32:02.18 and Douglas fi nished in a combined time of 6:14:58.41.

Rick completed his race in a time of 5:17:34.33, fi nishing 30th overall in his age category.

Richard performed excep-tionally well in the 70km road race. He fi nished in a time of 1:59:53.25, ending second in his age category and overall fourth in the race.

Following the team’s ac-colades, Thompson said that they had high hopes for local cycling and development. “I think the team’s performance over the weekend bodes well for cycling, and especially for Louis Trichardt.” What is more, said Thompson, is that three of the team’s cyclists are also part of Louis Trichardt High School’s cycling team, which could lead to the school's taking top honours in the upcoming Schools Mountain Bike XCO Championships.

Benfi ca through to next roundMashamba Benfi ca proceeded to the next round of the Goloza 2016 soccer tournament when they beat Polokwane Barcelona in a penalty shoot-out 6-7 after they had played to a goalless draw on Saturday at the Majozi grounds.

The game managed to produce enough entertainment, despite the fact that no goal was seen. Although Ben-fi ca were out of touch for the fi rst 20 minutes of the game, their killer-strik-er, Bornwise Malobo, remained a live wire. Malobo was everywhere, collecting balls from behind while playing midfi elder-cum-striker at the same time.

Barcelona soon real-ised that it would be a diffi cult day at the offi ce when their leading scor-er, David Mailula, fum-bled at the goal fi nish. He received a neat pass from Khutso Maluleke within the box and shot wide with the stranded keeper, Collin Munyai, already beaten. Mailula also failed to connect Frans Serubaruba’s square pass a little later.

Whitson Tshisevhe, Benfi ca’s centre back, was lucky to get away with a yellow card. He obstructed Phineus Sithole at the edge of the box in a one-on-one situation, denying Sithole what could have been a goal. The referee

did the unexpected when he fl ashed a yellow card at a time when everyone thought he would give Tshisevhe his marching orders.

Benfi ca threatened to score for the fi rst time in the 37th minute. Zamrota Ndou received a beautiful pass from his captain, Mikateko Ngomane, and unleashed aimlessly from close range. Marvel Mashele of Benfi ca won a loose ball in the left corner, beat the keeper, but his shot hit the woodwork and landed outside the fi eld of play for a goal kick.

Phineus Sithole of Barcelona is ready to trap the ball, with Sinavha Mulaudzi waiting patiently behind him.

Entries are open for this fi fth an-nual Haenertsburg Iron Crown Trail Run, happening on Saturday, 9 July.

The day’s event features a 21.1km strenuous run over rough single-track mountain paths, which goes to the summit of the highest mountain in Limpopo – the Iron Crown. There is also a shorter 10km distance and a 5km fun run/walk for families and dogs.

Leadership

Municipality News

Musina traditional leaders are content

Border town reviews LED strategy

Traditional leaders within the Musina municipal area expressed their gratitude to Mayor Mihloti Muhlope for engaging them when the munici-pality takes important decisions in relation to service delivery.

This came to light during their quarterly meeting, which was held at Domboni village near Madimbo last Friday. The forum was launched last year with the aim of fostering a good working relationship between the municipality and traditional leaders.

When addressing the traditional leaders, Mayor Muhlope said it was important for the government to consult and take the views of various stakehold-ers into consideration when planning.

“We have various platforms where we engage our people on issues relating to service delivery. The municipality felt that it is important to engage traditional leaders separately because these are the people who know all the service delivery chal-

lenges in their villages. Besides that, traditional leaders are well respect-ed in their villages and it is important to use them as messengers who can deliver service delivery messages to the villages out there. Their role in facilitating service delivery is very import-ant.”

She said the inclusion of traditional leaders in municipal council meet-ings was an indication that Musina Municipal-ity treated the traditional leadership with dignity.

“Traditional leadership has been there for ages and it is our duty to make sure that these leaders are treated according to the dignity they deserve.”

During the meeting, the traditional leaders commended the municipality for delivering the much-needed basic services in the areas under their jurisdiction.

The traditional leader of Domboni village, Mu-sanda Vho-Shandukani Malise, said the regular meetings with the mayor was an important vehicle for service delivery in the villages within Musina. “During our previous meetings, we deliberated on several service delivery challenges and it is good to note that a lot of progress has been reported. We really thank our municipality for taking us through in this service delivery initiative. We will continue to support Musina Municipality and the mayor, because they also seriously value our continuous contributions in service delivery.”

AFB Makhado

Rotary assists Braambos Primary SchoolThe air wing coordinator and second in command of Air Force Base (AFB) Makhado, Colonel Pine Pienaar, ex-pressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Ro-tary Club of Louis Trichardt for what he described as an authentic character displayed by the club in support of needy children at AFB Makhado.

Pienaar was speaking during the handing over of 30 dictionar-ies by the Louis Trichardt Rota-ry Club to Braambos School at AFB Makhado on 10 June. He accepted the dictionaries on be-half of the offi cer commanding of AFB Makhado, Brigadier General André Russell Barends.

Also present to receive the donation was the school di-rector, Mrs Victoria Njomo,

as well as the school principal, Mrs Nancy Masehla. They were grateful for the donation. Njomo said that the donation came as a big surprise to them, while Masehla told the delegates that the dictionaries would benefi t both the school and its learners. “The dictionaries will remain in the school library as a tool for both the learners and the educators who want to empow-er themselves to better their knowledge,” Masehla said.

Speaking on behalf of the Louis Trichardt Rotary Club, club secretary Mr Godfrey Went said that the donation formed part of an international Rotary project by Rotary Club 50 of England. The club provides humanitarian assistance in the form of food and water for

schools, clothes, books, wheel-chairs and much more to needy communities. The Rondebosch Rotary Club of Cape Town teamed up to receive tons of dictionaries to be distributed to various clubs all over the country. During a similar team effort, Rotary Club District 9400 of Bedfordview in Johannesburg donated wheelchairs to AFB Makhado in 2013 in support of people living with disabilities. Went added that, upon receiving the dictionaries, the Louis Trich-ardt Rotary Club had since also donated dictionaries to other schools in the Thohoyandou, Sinthumule, Kutama, Louis Trichardt, Nzhelele and Elim area. “I am convinced that these dictionaries will serve their pur-pose,” Went said.

The Louis Trichardt Rotary Club paid a visit to Braambos School on 10 June, during which time they donated 30 dictionaries to the school. Pictured from left to right are local Rotary Club secretary Mr Godfrey Went, Mrs Nancy Masehla, local Rotarian Brian du Plooy (who accompanied Went), Mrs Victoria Njomo (school director) and second in command of AFB Makhado Col Pine Pienaar.

As part of preparations for Musina town to become a city in the near future, the economic development and planning department of the municipality recently spearheaded the review of the Musina Municipality Local Economic Development (LED) strategy.

Local stakeholders, which include business, government departments, ward committees, youth formations, faith organizations and interested com-munity members, were part of the deliberations that took place at the Musina show grounds.

The LED manager of the municipality, Mr Mpho Mudau, said local economic development formed part of the municipality’s mandate to create and facilitate the development of the economy, realise the local economic development potential as well as encourage private sector investment and job cre-ation. He said the review of the LED strategy involved identifying and using local resources, ideas and skills to stim-ulate economic growth and development.

“The main function of the LED is to create employment opportuni-ties for local residents, alleviate poverty and redistribute resources and opportunities to the benefi t of all local resi-dents because we know that we have a large number of people who are unemployed here in Musina.” He said Interactions during the Musina Municipality’s LED strategy review.

there was a defi nite need to address education and skills requirements among the economically active population to help decrease unemployment and increase household income. “Providing proper basic services and infrastructure is an important component of local economic development.”

During the review, the sectors that can contribute to the future economic growth of Musina Local Municipality were also identifi ed. These include: urban-based business expansion, new business development, establishment of manufacturing incubator and training for development of local manufacturers to supply local needs. Entrepreneur-ial business support, mentorship and skills devel-opment for the local people were also identifi ed as priority areas.

Mulodi Freedom Birds and Vhurivhuri Matovha II Shooters were crowned champions of The Best FJR soccer tournament, which was held at the Venmag sports grounds in Folovhodwe village on Saturday. Shooters (photo top), beat Mbodi tsha fhasi 1-0 and received a fl oating trophy, gold medals and R3 000. Freedom Birds (photo underneath) beat Makavhini Black Movers 2-0 in a penalty shoot-out. They received a fl oating trophy, gold medals and R2 000. Mr Fhatuwani “The Best” Rananga, a well-known businessman and sports developer in Folovhodwe, said that the one-day tournament had been organised to keep the communities busy, “because if people are busy, they don’t have time to do evil things.” Photos: Silas Nduvheni.

New ABC Motsepe team for VuwaniThe Safa Vhembe MMK team, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC, will in future partici-pate in the ABC Motsepe League.

The team participated in Stream D of the MMK League for the past season.

This follows the decision by the president of the team, Mr Masala Mulaudzi, to buy ABC Mo-tsepe status from Bilika All Stars. When asked as to why they had decided to purchase another second-division franchise, Mulaudzi said that they wanted more local players to show their skills in the professional ranks. They wanted to develop more gifted young players, he added.

According to Mulaudzi, the Vuwani area has a lot of talent, as former South African U/23 player Lucky Nelukau and former Pirates player Mashudu Ndou hail from this area. He also stated that he had more confi dence in the people of Vuwani and was sure that they would take his team to the highest level of football in the country within a reasonable period. The team will use the Levubu and Tshifu-lanani Stadium as their home ground.

Mr Lucky “Mchichwa” Nelukau has been appointed head coach of the team. The team will start training after the mid-year examinations and they will use Levubu Stadium as training ground. Mulaudzi said his team would play several matches before the league resumed and appealed to players around Vhembe who are interested to play to come for trials on Saturday at Levubu from 09:00. For more information, players can phone him on 079 439 0002 or 079 561 4392.

Vhembe will have two teams playing under the auspices of the Safa ABC Motsepe league, Joe Maweja FC and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC.

Hard-earned victory for Hungry Lions

The winning team will receive R10 000 and a trophy, while the losing fi nalist will receive R7 000. The team ending in third position will receive R4 000 and the fourth team will receive R3 000. The teams in the fi nal will also receive soccer kits.

Tshaulu Hungry Lions fought hard for their 5-4 victory over Nnduvheni FC in their quarterfi nal match of the Boy Nemakonde KO Competition at the Tshifudi Stadium on Saturday.

Nnduvheni took the game to their opponents from the first whistle, with their midfielders demonstrating a spirit of commitment by dishing out telling passes to the frontrunners from time to time. They could have sealed the game within the fi rst 10 minutes of the game, but their strikers were not lucky enough to convert their obvious chances into goals.

Nnduvheni were the fi rst to fi nd the net. Their skillful fast forward, Funanani Matshikiri, hooked in the ball after a scramble within the box. The youthful Hungry Lions started to display defensive football after conceding the goal. They did not get far with this practice as their coach was heard in-structing them to take the game to their opponents.

Hungry Lions were awarded a free kick in the 25-meter area, seven minutes before half time. Isaac Sigidane beat the keeper with a ground cutter from the free kick.

Just like the fi rst half, the second half was char-acterized by wasted scoring opportunities. Maanda Netshamahala of Hungry Lions tried his luck from the edge of the box with a half volley in the 57th minute. The ball missed the target by inches, much to the fans’ disappointment. Liberty Ndou of Nndu-vheni was unlucky three minutes later. His volley hit the woodwork and landed outside the fi eld of play for a goal kick.

The winner was determined through penalty shootout as the score was still 1-1 at the end of the regulation time. Hungry Lions converted four of their chances via Ndifelani Matodzi, Vhonani Mbedzi, Khumbudzo Khalushi and Isaac Sigidane, while Nnduvheni scored three from the white spot.

Pupils of Eltivillas Primary, who played for the Vhembe primary schools’ volleyball team, went back home with gold medals after their team won the provincial championship at Polokwane on Saturday.

Easy victory for TshauluTshaulu Powerlines were un-stoppable when they brutally beat Gunda Blue Birds 4-0 at the Tshifudi Stadium on Saturday to secure a place in the semifi nal of the Boy Nema-konde KO competition.

Powerlines, the defending champions, did not waste any time before demonstrating to their opponents that they really meant business. Their slender striker, Ntshuxeko Simango, threatened to score three min-utes into the game. He received a beautiful pass from Unarine Ralukake and unleashed a volley from the 25-meter area. Unfortu-nately for them, the ball hit the side netting.

Simango’s time came in the

18th minute. This time around he made no mistake, following a neat pass from Mukhethwa Madzhuta. Blue Birds lost co-hesion in the middle of the park after the Powerlines’ opening goal. The defending champions capitalized and scored their second goal in the 26th minute. They were awarded a free kick in the 35-meter area. Terrence Hlungwane beat the Birds’ keep-er, Lovers Mutele, with a volley from the free kick.

Powerlines were three goals up when the referee, Mr Roy Mulaudzi, blew the half-time whistle. Their third goal was an honor to Unarine Ralukake, whose long-range volley hit the crossbar and landed across the

goal line.Things turned against Blue

Birds when they were reduced to 10 men nine minutes into the last half. Their bulldozer striker, Mukhathutsheli Nephawe, was given his marching orders for a dangerous tackle. The players of Blue Birds were not happy with the referee’s decision to show Nephawe red. They con-fronted the lone referee angrily and manhandled him during the argument. The game continued, however, after stopping for about ten minutes.

Powerlines increased the mar-gin in the 78th minute when Norman Nemanashi scored with a header after a corner kick that was taken by Ben Makeke.
