THE unavailability of information aboutthe brutal assault which claimed the life ofPule Simon Maleho from Ventersburg hascaused controversy between the justice-seeking family and the police. No witnesshas come forth to give information that iscrucial in the police investigation to bringthe assailants to book and render justice tothe Maleho family.The Ventersburg police have not made an

arrest as yet since the attack on thedeceased in an alcohol-fuelled incident twomonths ago. Maleho jnr was found alive inthe early hours of 5 September, but died ofhis injuries later in the month.The deceased’s family is still seeking

answers about his assault. It is alleged hisassailants, a group of nine men, are knownby members of the community of Mama-habane, Ventersburg.The assault apparently followed a bitter

argument between the deceased and one ofthe group members at a tavern in Mama-habane. He sustained severe head injuriesfollowing an attack.It is alleged that one of the assailants

deliberately chased and hit the deceasedwith a car. After this attack, he wasseverely beaten.The aggrieved father of the deceased,

Aupa Maleho, expressed displeasure withthe police’s inability to crackdown on thesuspects, blaming police negligence and notinvestigating useful clues that could lead tothe arrest of the suspects who are said tobe roaming the streets of Mamahabane.According to Maleho senior, an informantwho could assist in the investigation hasnot been consulted after the police weremade aware of this information. He saidthe police were delaying justice for his son.WO Malebo Khosana, spokesperson of the

Thabong Police Cluster, which includes theVentersburg police, refuted allegations ofnegligence saying action was first taken bythe on-duty police member, Const. TshidisoLepitla, who interrogated the victim uponfinding him at the scene of the attackwhere he was surrounded by communitymembers on 5 September at about 05:00.Lepitla called an ambulance which trans-ported the victim to hospital.Khosana said on 6 September the Ven-

tersburg police had opened a case of assaultwith the intent to cause grievous bodilyharm (GBH) which has since been changedto murder after Maleho jnr had died.

Khosana said it had been reported that thedeceased’s face was swollen and he had astrong odour of alcohol about him after theattack.Khosana refuted claims by Maleho snr

that he had not been informed about thestatus quo of the investigation under WOPonti Moeketsi. He said a senior officialhad been tasked to peruse the docket afterMaleho snr had lodged a grievance with thepolice’s provincial office.“The official was satisfied with the

progress of the investigation and informedMoeketsi that he would contact Maleho snrdirectly to inform him of the findings,” saidKhosana.The deceased died on 29 September.

Khosana said a post-mortem report hadrevealed Maleho jnr had died due to headinjuries. He said the report issued by theparamedic who had initially examined thedeceased in the ambulance had revealed thevictim had had halted speech and a lowlevel of consciousness.Khosana said the investigation was

underway and requested eyewitnesses toprovide information helpful in the arrestand conviction of the suspects.The deceased was treated at the Bongani

Regional Hospital in Welkom, KatlehoHospital in Virginia and also the PelonomiHospital in Bloemfontein where his fathersaid he had last seen him alive but bed-rid-den and being fed via a tube.

In his love for serving the community healso worked with the Matjhabeng Munici-pality and local churches.

Mathobisa joined the police force in 1992.His disability was a result of a horrifichead-on car accident that involved the taxihe was travelling in.

“I have not experienced any kind ofserious challenge in executing my dailyduties in the past 17 years since becomingdisabled.

“They made me keep my feet on theground, prepared for the next event. I feelI deserve it and it is also good that at theend of the day somebody notices myimportance in the organisation.

“As for work, I just keep my mind onmy role as true-born police officer, to helppeople with the challenges of the day they

come across, and help impart the principleof batho pele (people first),” Mathobisasaid.

Asked if he thought persons withdisabilities had a future in the police,Mathobisa said: “I do not want to stressmyself about anything serious besideswhat I have in my hands.

“It is upon the authorities within thepolice, starting from the station, cluster toprovince and national level, to decide myfuture with regards to my contribution inthe organisation, especially as I have beennominated three times in a decade as thebest disabled employee of the year.”

TAKING part in the 2014 VistaMiss Goldfields beauty pageant hasspurred Aletta Mlambo on to pursueher ambition to compete in futurepageants. Not new to beautypageants having begun at the tenderage of five, the Vista Miss Goldfieldspageant gave her the first good ideaof what prestigious pageants entailed.Mlambo was chosen as the firstprincess at the pageant in question.Oozing confidence following herimpressive presentation at thepageant held recently, the 17-year-old Mlambo, a gr. 11 learner of theSt Dominic’s College in Welkom,aims at grasping at every opportu-nity that can give her a chance tomove forward in life.

Born and bred in Welkom, theenergetic teenager spoke to ExpressGoldfields & NFS to give someinsight about her personality.

What attracted you to consid-er entering beauty pageants?

I always had a passion for model-ling from a very young age andsomehow entering the pageant notonly boosted my confidence and letme grow as a person, but it is alsoa great way to achieve my goalwhich is to help others on abroader scale.

Was Vista Miss Goldfields thefirst major pageant you haveentered?

Vista Miss Goldfields was the firstmajor pageant I’ve entered. I mustsay that I really enjoyed the expe-rience and have grown so muchfrom it.

Did you expect to be one ofthe top five in Vista MissGoldfields and ultimately benamed first princess?

When I entered Vista MissGoldfields, I went there with apositive mind and determination,hoping that I would possibly becrowned. But I wasn’t expecting toget as far as I had. Every candidatewas amazing and anyone could have

won. I’m just very fortunate that Iwas chosen as the first princess.

What is your role presently asthe first princess of Vista MissGoldfields?

My role as the first princess isbasically to inspire many of ouryoung people, especially young girls.To impact positively in the lives ofthe less fortunate, to embody beautyand giving.

Do you think the pageant wasa success?

The pageant really was a success. Igot so much exposure and such awonderful platform that I can use tomake a difference in my community.And it’s all thanks to the Vista MissGoldfields organisers.

Do you have other ambitionsto compete in big beautypageants and which ones do youhave in mind?

I definitely have ambition to enterbigger pageants like Miss SouthAfrica one day. Just to grow as aperson and make a difference.

What is success for you andwhat is a winner?

I believe that success is notnecessarily measured by power,honour or money. For me success iswhen you are able to hold on towhat is right even if the world mightcompromise with the wrong. It is tolive, enjoy and inspire people tocontinue to live with good morals.For me a winner is a person whohas learned and realised most oflife’s lessons. Able to respect andgain the respect of others, able tobecome a friend to everyone andhelp other people, that’s a winnerfor me.

How would you describe yourpersonality?

I’m very bubbly and out there.What do you like most about

yourself?What I like most about myself is

that I’m a very positive person. I likethinking that the glass is half full andnot half empty. God has also taughtus how to trust in Him.

What is your philosophy andwhat value do you hold dearestin life?

My philosophy in life is to livemorally upright despite the immoralacts in our community. To respectand gain respect; to become a friendto everyone and help others in thebest way I can. What I hold dearestto my heart is my family. They havetaught me everything I know byexample and complete my life.

Like which famous personalityare you?

Tyra Banks. (Banks is an Americantelevision personality, producer,author, actress and former model).She is a very spontaneous andbubbly person.

She’s a role model to a lot ofpeople including myself and tries tomake a difference in people’slives. Not only is herpersonality parallel tomine, but she alsoinspires me to achievemy goals like she has.

Who inspires youand why?

The person whoinspires me has to bemy mother. She hastaught me everything Iknow by example.Loving, compassionateand a true epitome ofa Christ-like mother.She is an inspirationand a blessing to meand those who knowher.

Does crime makeyou afraid?

Definitely. We livein a world wherethere is so muchviolence and I’m prettysure all of us feel afraidat some point.

But fortunately there is a livingGod who has promised to protectand guide us.

So with Him by our side, nothinglike crime will ever break us.

What is your philosophy andwhat value do you hold dearest

THE celebration of an Internation-al Day for Persons with Disabilityis nothing but political popularisa-tion and a continuation of alienat-ing or institutionalising disabilityby those who proclaim to beadvocating for the emancipation ofpersons with disability. To theseindividuals a disability day isanother project which enrichestheir popularity and money-mak-ing.

South African legislation andpolicies promulgate and underpinjustice and equality within thecountry. Though these policieskeep on being amended, themajority of us don’t experience thebenefit from these improvements. Ihave attended numerous conferenc-es, seminars, conventions andothers under names which Ibelieve some of the organisers ofthese events don’t even know themeaning of. The most devastatingthing is that people with disabilitykeep on raising issues regardingthe challenges they face, but it fallson deaf ears.

Despite the Employment EquityAct, when one looks at governmentdepartments there are over 100vacancies, but we still have a highunemployment rate of disabled

people. Could it be that thegovernment lacks monitoring andevaluation, or are they not interest-ed? November and December arethe only times they feel liketalking to us. Making emptypromises as usual.

Non-governmental organisationswhich support or provide advocacyfor people with disabilities contin-ue to institutionalise disabledpeople. However, because this istheir means of survival, one canunderstand. My only concern isthat they continue to alienate usfrom society. In most cases, theiravailability limits our liberation.

They tend to be the voice fordisabled people. People withdisabilities are regarded as theproperty of these institutions.Furthermore, those who want tolive independently become totallylifeless. I’m not at all against therole played by these organisations.

However, I’m worried by how theysometimes operate. They havebecome the agents of disability.Without their existence people withdisabilities are nothing. Hasanyone tried to evaluate thenegative side of organisations fordisability?

Since 2008 I have been part of ateam that organises events. I knowprecisely how things will unfold.The day comprises governmentofficials who read unfactualstatistics on the current disabilitystatus and performance from thepeople living with disability.Sometimes depending on thebudget allocated, a celebrity will bethe host or perform. Conceivablythe most significant question Ishould ask – who is benefittingfrom these occasions? To attendeesor proponents of such events, whatis the ultimate objective of theday?

We are all human beings; we alldeserve the right to be treated withrespect and dignity. As we cele-brate 20 years of democracy, weneed to ask ourselves to whatextent have we made SouthAfrican society a free and unpreju-diced society where all humanbeings live with dignity andadmiration?)
