The parents of a 19-month-old baby are still aggrieved after baby Mulalo Prince Mulaudzi died after nurses at the Khakhu clinic refused to help him last Thursday.

Mr Mashudu Mulaudzi, the child’s

father, has decided to take the matter to the health department. “My wife and I work in Gauteng, and when news about my baby’s death reached us, I knew it was my death,” he said. “The MEC of health must visit Khakhu clinic and warn the staff about negligence or else many people are still going to die. We know

that the clinic is open 24 hours per day.”Mashadu had last seen his son only

a week before, when he brought him some food, clothes and a teddy bear. “I was selecting some CDs to play on my DVD player and Mulalo was scratching some of them on the fl oor, like children normally do,” he remembered the last

moments with his son. “Now I had to receive a call from home informing me about my son’s death!”

The child’s guardian and grand-mother, Vho-Reginah Mulaudzi, rushed Mulalo to the local clinic after she no-ticed that he had a high fever and was vomiting. She said that she had arrived at

the clinic at around 14:00 on 5 October. One of the nurses on duty told her that there were only three nurses and that they were helping a woman in labour, she added.

“She could see with her own eyes that my grandson was in much pain,” said Vho-Reginah. - Continues on p2

Crime

On Monday, a 28-year-old suspect appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court in connection with a charge of rape, which al-legedly happened in Madombidzha village.

The suspect allegedly took the 22-year-old woman into a car in the vicinity of Thandas Tavern at Ha-Ravele and drove with her to Madombidzha.

He allegedly raped her inside a residential house on arrival at around

23:20. According to the spokesper-son for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Const Munyadziwa Marindi, the complainant reported the matter to the police, who acted promptly and arrested the suspect.

The case was postponed to 28 November for further investigations. “It is very unfortunate that this case is happening barely two days after the station and other stakeholders had had a crime awareness campaign at Madombidzha village,” said Marindi.

The Tshishonga family of Kuruleni shocked hundreds of mourners last Saturday when they stopped the funeral proceedings of their daughter, demand-ing that her husband pay the R20 000 he owes them for lobola.

The deceased, Thilivhali Francinah Mukwevho (31), was married to Victor Mukwevho (38) in the so-called “Vat-and-sit” style and the couple stayed at Mpheni for 12 years.

They had two children together before

Kuruleni funeral stopped as family demands lobolashould be paid on the spot.

I told them I didn’t have the money there, because I spent R70 000 preparing for the funeral. I asked them to go to the police station to formalise a written agreement of payment, but they refused,” said Mukwevho.

“We agreed at the Levubu Police station that I must give them the death certificate and identity document of the late Franci-nah. I wanted to give my wife a dignified funeral. The funeral was stopped and we had to throw away all the food that was prepared,” said Mukwevho.

Francinah’s aunt, Nyawasedza Mudau, said Mukwevho never bothered to pay lo-bola when he took Francinah 12 years ago.

She said Mukwevho was threatening them with phone calls. “He is accusing us of stealing his wife’s body and dragged us to the Levubu police station. You can’t just stay with someone’s daughter for so many years without paying lobola. It is immoral and this should serve as a lesson to young men of today who prefer the ‘Vat-and-Sit’ style,” she said.

Mudau insisted that Mukwevho should first pay the amount requested. “He re-fused to give us the death certificate of our daughter, because he wanted to claim money from an insurance policy. We begged him to pay lobola and he didn’t give us an ear,” she said.

God called Francinah two weeks ago.Francinah’s body was held at the mor-

tuary for more than two weeks as negoti-ations between the two families dragged on. This weekend, hundreds of mourners watched as the two families continued their fight in public. The woman’s family took Francinah’s lifeless body back to the mortuary.

The stranded husband said he was shocked by the manner in which the Tshi-shonga family had acted.

H e s a i d h i s wife’s family had been at his house since her death on October 4 and they had never said anything.

Early on Satur-day morning, the Tshishonga fami-ly closed the gate at the cemetery. “They told me that they wanted to talk to me before the burial proceed-ings started. They said I must pay R20 000 for lobo-la before burying her and R10 000

“All I want is to be able to bury my wife,” says Victor Mukwevho.



From page 1“What hurt me most was the fact

that the nurse who spoke with me was doing nothing herself.” She maintained that she had to go back home with her unattended grandson, after three painful hours of waiting for nothing. “I was told to come back the next morning,” she wept.

Vho-Reginah had to stay awake all night long, staring at baby Mu-lalo, who was retching painfully. The following morning at 07:30, she went to the clinic and was forced to join a long queue. “They said that they would only start seeing patients at 08:00,” she explained. “Then I lost it and shouted at them that the child needed immediate medical attention.”

The nurses then took the baby from her and went into the consult-ing room. “They finally put some drips on him, and then they could see that it was not a joke, that Mu-lalo was sick,” she said.

When the nurses informed her at around 09:00 that Mulalo had died, Vho-Reginah fainted. “I didn’t

know how I would face my son and tell him that his child had died,” she said.

Mulalo’s mother, Mumsy, said that the clinic’s attitude towards pa-tients and their laziness had caused her son’s death.

“I am without words about this whole issue,” she added.

The spokesperson of the Depart-ment of Health’s, Ms Adele van der Linde, said that the department would launch a full investigation into the matter to establish what had led to the incident. “If we find negligence to be a factor, we will not hesitate to act as a department,” Van der Linde said. “Our people deserve the best health care possible.”

She then requested all patients who receive bad service at hospitals, clinics and EMS to make use of the MEC’s Hotline number (0800 91 91 91) to direct their complaints or requests. The number currently operates during office hours (7:30 to 16:30).

Mualo was buried at the back of his parents’ house last Monday.

With only a week left before the final exams start for matrics, learners at the Sinugani High School in Magau are still sitting on the floor while others are being taught under trees.

During a visit to the school last week, Limpopo Mirror found Grade 12 pupils studying under a tree because the school is overcrowded. Some pupils sat on the floor of one of the classrooms, because there is a shortage of chairs and desks. The school’s classrooms are supposed to accommodate between 40 and 50 pupils, but some of the classrooms overflowed with more than 60 pupils. There is so little space that the

teacher can barely fit in the gap between the pu-pils’ knees in the front row and the chalkboard. Pupils squash together next to the steel frames of what were once desks. Some use pieces of wood taken from bro-ken desks or something flat, like a rusted metal table found outside the school, to make some sort of a surface to put their books on.

“All we need are classes and furniture to accommodate our chil-dren,” said the secretary of the Magau Territori-al Council, Mr Joseph Mauda. “We have ap-plied many times to the Department for classes, but our pleas have not yielded any fruits,” he said. Mauda added that mobile classrooms and furniture could alleviate the situation as the lack of classrooms is a mat-ter that requires urgent attention. He said that, on several occasions during the past couple of years, the Department of Education promised to delivered desks and chairs to the school, but nothing has happened.

One of the learners, Ritshidze Matodzi, said

pupils were often tired because they had to stand for long periods while attending classes. He said pupils studied under dif-ficult conditions, citing the temperature in the classroom as one aspect.

He said they also had to put their books on their laps to be able to write. “We want more classrooms because we cannot continue attending [school] under a tree,” he said.

The principal of the school, Mr Sonny-boy Masuka, did not want to speak to the press. He declined to comment because “we are not allowed to talk to the media”.

“It’s quite shocking and disappointing

for us as a nation to still find our children attending classes under a tree,” said Gilbert Razwinani, chairperson of the school’s governing body.

“We call upon the Department of Ed-ucation, both provincial and national, to make an urgent intervention and build classrooms and deliver furniture for the Sinugani School.

The education department’s spokes-person, Mr Phuthi Seloba, said that the department knew about the Sinugani problem. He said that they would sort out the Sinugani problem before the end of the year.

The fragile water supply situation in the region is balanced on a knife’s edge.

The current water crisis, caused by an illegal strike by Vhembe Dis-trict Municipality (VDM) workers, affected the whole of the Vhembe district. Though the workers from the water department had resumed work on Tuesday, it is rumoured that there would be yet another mass meeting to discuss issues.

Water supply to the villages of Vondo, Nandoni, Xikundu, Nzhelele and Mutale, among others, was hard-est hit. Water tankers were reported to queue at the Nandonidam. At the University of Venda, students, lectur-ers and staff all suffered and the uni-versity had to bring in portable toilets. Drinking water had to be purchased for the residences, the cafeteria and the staff. “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the latest water crisis,” wrote Dr Jannie Zaaiman, Univen’s deputy vice-chan-cellor (operations), in an email dated 14 October. He added that VDM’s municipal manager, Mr Masala Makumule, had informed him that morning that they had started pump-ing water into the reservoir.

Some residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) reported water supply in-terruptions over the last two weeks. An aged resident, Ms Elma van Niekerk, said that her sister from Australia was visiting South Africa and she had to tell her sister that she could not come and visit because she could not expect her visitors to carry water to the toilets and not take a bath.

But why the strike?The Department of Water Af-

fairs (DWA) transferred more than 1000 workers to the VDM in 2009. They demand salary parity between DWA-transferred staff and workers in the municipality. “It is important to note that the department has facil-itated the transfer of the workers by giving adequate support to the mu-nicipality and subsidizing the entire operation for a period of three years, following the transfer. The subsidies included salaries, operation and maintenance of the water schemes and refurbishment,” states the DWA in an unsigned media release dated 15 October. The DWA further states that, in their opinion, the support they gave and continue to give to the municipality was sufficient to facili-tate the settlement of all outstanding staff-related matters, including the issue of salary parity.

The VDM’s spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, said that the strike started on 1 October and that the VDM management, DWA and Ne-hawu’s representatives were engaging in dialogue. “They met formally on Monday and most of them have returned to work today. We hope the situation will return to normal,” Ralushai said on Tuesday and added that the strike was not violent, but “very effective”. That is due to the fact that they had turned the water off in most areas, an action condemned by the DWA, who wished “to make it clear that the deliberate shut-off of water to communities by protesting workers is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.” The DWA did not expand on the action they would take if workers continued to shut down water deliberately.

llegal strike by VDM workers reason for water shortagesIister Edna Molewa will establish a high-level task team to find a speedy resolution to the matter.

“The workers returned to vital areas like the pump station at the Albasini Dam. The water shortage in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was not so much due to the strike as to the new pump at the Albasini plant that broke on 3 October and had to be fixed. The two small standby pumps were straining to deliver enough water. On top of the strike, only three out of the 14 old boreholes (west of town) are working and the four new ones are idle at the moment,” said AfriForum chairper-son Mr Wally Schultz.

“Well, one week it is the pump, the

next week a strike and who knows what the excuse will be next week,” said Mr Gert van der Westhuizen, owner of Madi Gra Water in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Although he sells drinking water in his shop, Van der Westhuizen ironically has to deliv-er water for other purposes to his business premises about every single day. “I am used to the fact that I do not have municipal water and I have bought a bakkie with a tank on it and have organized to have water deliv-ered to my premises daily. At first I phoned often to find out why there is no water, but that only serves to short-en my life. Now I accept that water supply cannot take place,” he said.

More people arrested in ongoing chaos in Malamulele areaThe ongoing chaos in Malamulele is far from over. This follows after more demands by residents of the area for the establishment of their own municipality.

This week, the situation was es-calating direly, with almost 20 000 residents burning tyres along the roads which lead to Thohoyandou and Giyani. The looting of shops and government departments has caused chaos in the town. This has led to public transport groups’ not entering the area for business.

The town was at a standstill from Monday until the time of our going to press. Residents went on the rampage after a meeting that took place in Polokwane on Monday.

A group of rampaging young people allegedly threw stones at the police who were trying to disperse them and continued to loot shops on Tuesday.

Government buildings in the town were set alight on Tuesday and the schools and shops were closed. Lim-

popo Mirror has learnt that someone was killed by a mob during the rampage after it was established that he had stolen R4 000 from a local spaza shop.

The provincial police spokesman, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, confirmed the chaos in the town and stated that the police had taken control, fol-lowing the violence that erupted on Tuesday morning.

“The police managed to bring the situation under control. More than 40 suspects have been arrested and more arrests are imminent. Police presence in the area has also been intensified to monitor and defeat any violence that might erupt. The roads leading to the town have been opened, but motorists are warned to drive with caution,” said Mulaudzi.

On Monday, Premier Stanley Mathabatha met with the chairperson of the municipal demarcation board, Mr Mahlangu, to try and resolve the on-going battle for municipal status by the Malamulele community. The

meeting was attended by the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Tradi-tional Affairs, Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe, the MEC for Safety and Security, Ms Joyce Mashamba, and delegates from the Malamulele Task Team.

According to the statement issued by the premier’s spokesperson, Mr Kenny Mathivha, the task team and demarcation board had urged the Mal-amulele people to stop the chaos. “A call was made by both the ANC and the Limpopo Provincial Task Team (LPTT) that Malamulele’s people’s tempers must calm down as a political solution is being negotiated with the help of the premier,” says Mathivha.

The meeting established that most documents which the task team had submitted to the demarcation board were either lost or did not reach the intended destination before the cut-off date of 2012. The spokesperson for the Malamulele demarcation task team, Dr Isaiah Ndhambi, could not be reached for comment by the time of going to press.

Meanwhile, Limpopo Provincial Commissioner Lt-Gen Fannie Mase-mola has condemned the violence and has sent a stern warning for people not to take the law into their own hands.

“When community members have complaints, they must not resort to any violent means and the destroying of property. We will not hesitate to take action to bring the perpetrators to book,” said Masemola.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) also condemned the situation at Malamulele. In a statement, the pro-vincial leader of the party, Mr Jacques Smalle, says Premier Mathabatha’s “utterances do not help solve the problem, but quell the already irate community to disrespect the law of the country”.

He states that the root cause of the protests “is the failure of the ANC-led municipality to deliver basic services to the people”. He urges the premier to show leadership and to address the root concerns of the residents.

A 42-year-old teacher died on Wednesday, 2 October, after the vehicle she was driving collided head-on with a Volkswagen Jetta. The gruesome accident happened early in the morning on the Tshikombani road. Ms Tshilizi Joyce Netshiluwani was a teacher at Shura Combined School. According to the school principal, Mr Doctor Ravele, pupils and teachers are filled with grief after the accident. He said the situation at school was tense and pupils and teachers were all traumatised throughout the day that the accident happened. He added that Netshiluwani had held various positions at the school and she helped to uplift the standard of education, specifically early childhood learning. “She was the language coordinator, helping pupils to acquire language skills,” he said. She was buried at the Mandala Cemetery last Saturday and is survived by her three children and her husband.

Still no progress in “hand” case

Quarrel leads to death of Nzhelele couple

More investigation still needs to be done in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)’s widely contro-versial “Hand” case.

The 36-year-old Rumbidzai Manyere’s remains have still not been released to her family since her brutal murder in April this year. This is because the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) director of public prosecutions has ordered the police to go back to Zimbabwe for further investigations. Manyere hails from Zimbabwe and had, according to her family, only been living in South Africa for three months at the time of her death.

The 38-year-old Freddy Azwitamisi Tshikhudo, who has been accused of her murder, was arrested on 5 April at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he al-legedly tried to rob the business by using a severed human arm. The following day, he led the Makhado police to the place where the murdered Manyere’s body was found. Manyere’s right arm, both eyes and her private parts had been removed. Her body itself was in an advanced state of decomposition.

During his previous court appearance in August,

several pending cases against Tshikhudo were centralized to the Makhado Magistrate’s Court. This means that he will eventually stand trial on two counts of rape and single counts of murder, housebreaking and robbery.

Tshikhudo appeared in court again last Friday. His case was postponed until 17 January of next year to afford the police time to finish the list of new instructions that the NPA gave them.

Tshikhudo will remain in custody until then, since he was denied bail.

Matodzi Maphiye´s body, covered by a blanket. She was discovered on Sunday morning.

The quarrel between a couple of Tshitavha in Nzhelele ended in another tragedy, when Mashudu Munyai (28) allegedly killed his spouse and later committed suicide.

According to the police, a quarrel between the couple started near the tavern at Tshedza village in Nzhelele on Saturday. Munyai allegedly beat his spouse, Matodzi Maphiye (29), to death with a stone.

He allegedly left her for dead whilst she was bleeding. She had sev-eral visible wounds all over her body.

The police suspect that Maphiye had found him drinking with an-other girl on a Saturday night. She allegedly ac-cused the other woman of having an affair with her husband, leading to the altercation between the couple.

The police indicated that they had discovered the body of Maphiye in the early hours of Sun-day down the street not far from the tavern. “We found dragging marks along the street, which suggest that the victim was beaten and dumped outside the road,” said police spokesperson

W/O Edward Tharaga.The police were looking for Munyai on Sun-

day, but on Monday morning his body was found hanging from a tree near the river and not far from where he was staying.

The incident, which had shocked the entire village, traumatised the Maphiye family and they refused to speak to the media.

Murdered Manaledzi pupil buriedLucky Matome Sabasa (20), a pupil of Manaledzi Secondary School, who was stabbed to death a fortnight ago, was buried during an emotional funeral at Madabani on Saturday.

The funeral was held amidst calls by residents to the police that they should act decisively against criminals who have taken the village hostage, “or members of the community will take the law into their hands”.

The grieving mother, Ms Josephine Sabasa, said they were greatly saddened by the death of her beloved son. They were, however, consoled by the support they got from the community. She thanked all businesses, donors and the school who, upon hear-ing of the plight of the family, came to their res-cue and ensured that the young Lucky received a dignified funeral.

Speaking at the funeral, Cllr Ru-fus Selepe said the community had had enough of killings. “We a re do ing a l l we can to make people aware of the crimes that are happening in their midst. The police are doing their best to apprehend the criminals, but we seem to be fighting a losing battle because people prefer to

keep quiet.”He said that the nature of the young Lucky’s

death and the manner in which he had been killed had made him put everything aside to come and be with the family and to give them support.

“We are here to give a helping hand and urge you to seek strength from God, who is our Sav-iour,” he said.

The two suspects, William Lithole (24) and his brother Thabelo (21), appeared in the Tshil-wavhusiku Magistrate’s Court last week, and the case was postponed to 28 October for further investigations. They remain in custody. They are both residents of Gogobole village.

A 26-year-old Beit Bridge man, who had raped a critically ill woman, has been sen-tenced to an effective

10 years in jail.Athizwiyangwi Ndou of Mapani village outside

Beit Bridge had pleaded not guilty but was found guilty and convicted by Regional Magistrate Mr Joseph Mabeza.

It was testified that on 28 June this year, at about 19:00, Ndou approached the critically ill 34-year-old-woman who was resting in the company of two men at the side of the road

The other two men proceeded with their journey, leaving Ndou with the victim. Ndou proposed sex to the woman, but she did not respond as she was critically ill and could not talk. He then pushed her to the ground and raped her. After raping her, Ndou fled the scene, leaving the woman on the ground.

The complainant had to spend the cold night there since, after the incident, she could not walk. She was found unconscious by a passerby the following morning. She was taken to hospital for treatment but at that time failed to tell what had happened.

It was only on 19 September that she managed to narrate what had happened, leading to Ndou’s arrest.

Jailed for raping ill woman

Church builds house for family

Vhamusanda Vho-Muofhe Mphaphuli Mmbi (third from left) cuts the ribbon. Other people in the photograph are (from left to right) Cllr Maria Ramanala, Shumani Mulumbela, Shonisani Phathela, Pastor Nonani Shivambu and Mavis Mulumbela.

The church members who made it possible.

A father, his wife and seven chil-dren were overjoyed when their church handed the key to their three-room house to them on Sun-day at Maniini in Thohoyandou.

Members of the Eden Baptist Church in Muledane Block J noticed the heartbreaking living conditions of one of their new members, Shumani Mulumbela (50) and his family, and decided to build him a house. “We know that God is love. And when we give to those who do not have, we are only demonstrating that kind of love,” said the church’s pastor, Nonani Shivambu. The family was sharing a large one-room shack, and the church agreed that every member should contribute some money or building material, so that the Mu-lumbelas could get a house. Eden Baptist Church is a small church, so it took members almost three months to finish the house. “However small our church may seem to be, if we agree on doing something positive, we stick to it until we have achieved it,” Shivambu said.

“It was frustrating and painful sharing a shack with children. I came to the church a naked man and

hungry, but you clothed and fed me,” Mulumbela said. Mulumbela’s wife, Mavis, said that their home was a battlefield before her family could join the church. “My husband was an alcoholic and he assaulted me each time he was drunk – but I also fought back sometimes, which was not good for our children,” she gave testimony. “The pastor arranged for a psychol-ogist to counsel us, and things have changed for the better in our home.”

Mulumbela, Mavis and their chil-dren are now full members of the Eden Baptist Church. “I now trust in God because He rescued me from a reckless life of alcoholism and healed my family spiritually,” said Mulum-bela. Ward 21’s Cllr Maria Ramanala acknowledged the church’s efforts of not only building a house for the indigent family but also for bringing all misunderstandings and fighting to an end. “Thulamela is spoilt with many cases of domestic violence, and in some cases spouses end up killing each other,” she said. “This church did a very good job in healing the Mulumbelas’ troubles. I strongly believe that other churches will start walking in your footsteps.”

For nearly 20 years, Mr Joseph Tseisi has been trying to correct his ID number and name in his green identity document.

His trouble started in 1994 when he applied for a new South African identity document. Before 1994, he used his identity document of the then Republic of Venda.

Tseisi could not believe it when his ID docu-ment came back with his brother’s name printed in it. As soon as he realised that the information on his ID was incorrect, he re-applied, but his efforts proved in vain. “I tried to solve the prob-lem by submitting an affidavit that I am Joseph, but the name in the ID keeps coming back as Samuel,” he said.

“The Dzanani-, Sibasa- and Makhado offices of the Department of Home Affairs offices know me, but they are doing nothing about my prob-lem. I don’t have a bank account, due to the fact that my ID is not valid. I am self-employed but have not been able to vote since 1994, because of the error in my ID book,” he said.

Chief Tshinakaho Netshiendeulu once wrote a letter to Home Affairs, confirming that Joseph Tseisi is the person in residence and that he needs an ID book, but that did not help either.

The manager of the Department of Home Affairs for the Vhembe district, Mr George Maluleke, said that he was investigating the matter. The provincial manager of Limpopo, Ms Florah Motsitsi, said they had already submitted Tseisi’s problems to the relevant section and a new ID would be processed.

How to stay financially comfortable at Retirement

many articles have been written about being financially prepared for retirement but very few articles talk about what you need to do to stay financially comfortable.

It is more difficult to deal with financial challenges when you are retired than when you are young. So take these steps now to stay financially secure and look out for the following risks:

Inflation risk is a reality and happens when your pension doesn’t keep up with inflation, e.g. in 2005 R20 could buy you three bags of rice, but now it’ll only buy you one bag.

this leads us to the longevity risk – living long and possibly running out of income. the savings we have when we retire may not be enough to support us in our golden years, especially with medical technology that lets us live longer.

another risk that gets overlooked is consumption risk – consuming more than what your financial plan can support. Schedule an annual review of your investments and stay in touch with your financial affairs.

then there’s investment risk – the risk of making the wrong investment decisions. there isn’t much time to fix any wrong investment choices after you’ve retired so get a qualified financial adviser to help you.

Your financial partner before and at retirementWe can help with one of the biggest financial decisions that will impact the rest of your life.

Instead of mourning the passing away of their beloved granny, the Nephalama family of Vyeboom village in the Vuwani area was celebrating on Sunday morning. Mrs Tshinondiwa Mafeladengwa Mulaudzi Nephalama was one of the oldest inhabitants of the Vhembe region. At the age of 105, she succumbed to a short illness at her Vyeboom home in the early hours of last Wednesday morning. She was buried at Vyeboom village on Sunday. Family members who shared the podium during the funeral service described her as an icon, a source of knowledge and a unifying factor in the family. They all stressed the fact that they had no reason to mourn her death, saying she had lived her life to the full and that she deserved to rest. Granny Nephalama is survived by two children, Mr Daniel Nephalama and Mrs Johanna Nephalama, 21 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. In the photo, two of her surviving children, Mr Daniel Nephalama (second from right) and Mrs Johanna Nephalama (third from right), pose with some of the close family members next to the gogo’s tombstone.

Musina’s chief traffic officer, Mr Daniel Nembambula (left), and traffic officer Aaron Tshikwama, hard at work during Operation Trolley.

Musina’s Operation Trolley a successIn a swift move to clean up the town, the Musina Traffic Unit conducted Operation Trolley last week.

Chief Traffic Officer Daniel Nembambula said the operation was aimed at confiscating illegal trolleys that make traffic flow and human movement difficult in the border town. The dynam-ic traffic boss said some of the traders pushed loaded trolleys in the roads of the CBD and that disturbed the smooth running of traffic and movement of people walking on foot.

“People are allowed to use the trolleys on the pavements, not in the roads. Without taking their goods, we confiscate the trolleys, mark them and tell them to come and collect them at our traffic unit after paying a fee. This is one of the ways to regulate free movement in our growing town.”

He added that offenders who

do not adhere to the municipal bylaws will be subjected to the strongest legal disciplinary ac-tion. “We are aware that there are countless illegal activities taking place here in our town. We will not hesitate to take any legal action against the perpetrators. Despite the warning signs that we have erected, some people are continuing to conduct their businesses in prohibited areas. As a responsible municipality governed by the legislation of the country, we will make sure that those who break the law are punished. We know the poverty levels of our people and high unemployment rate, but the law is there to regulate the smooth running of our town. The safety of our people is our priority,” he said.

He said that despite the short-age of law-enforcement officers, the municipality was doing its

best to make sure that there was law and order in Musina. “Due to cross-border trading, our town is growing very fast and we need to pull up our socks to make sure that we do not scare shoppers, in-vestors and tourists. The govern-ment has also declared us as one of the growth points of Limpopo and, due to the massive economic developments and mining, we will become a city in the next few years. So, it is very important to enforce law and order before it is too late.”

He said people who would like to conduct business in town, whether small or commercial, should contact the planning unit of the municipality. “There are guidelines to be followed and if people have the necessary ap-proval, nobody will bother them. I appeal to everyone to work hand in hand with us to make Musina a better place to stay.”

No nonsence approach towards illegal cigarettes

Plain Truth

➡ The quest for morality

Fan the passion of love in marriageThe verse quoted in the previous chapter, Song of Songs 1:2, 4, de-scribes the poetry about passion in a marriage and thereby points out to us that God created marriage to be a loving, passionate and, indeed, very fulfilling relationship.

Those of you who have tested a passion fruit drink in a restaurant will know that the combination and colour of the final product is as passionate as the process of sipping it. When you lose the passion spark in your marriage, you slide very fast in terms of growing cold in your approach, to a point that you might find yourself chasing after other men or women. It creates an environment where cheating finds fertile ground. Avoid divorce in your marriage by fanning the passion of love in your marriage.

The task to fan the passion of love in your marriage is not an easy task. You need to develop a spiritual dis-cipline and learn new tricks, thereby beating the old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. When you put efforts into gathering the necessary data, assessing and, in the process, learning what can work in your marriage, you have started a journey to revive your marriage and take it to another level.

When we talk about passion in this article, we are informed by the need to be romantic and retain the feeling of being attracted to each other always. If you outgrow this stage, you then start to relate to your spouse like your very own blood sister or brother and you completely lose interest in sexual matters.

You only then engage in sex with her or him as a way of realising yourself. Passion brings back that “we” feeling - “we are in love” and

those who look at you can really see that there is chemistry between the two of you.

The intensity of love brought by the spark of passion in your marriage makes it possible for you to miss each other to a point that you do not want to be separated at all. If one goes to work and the other remains at home, or even in the case where you are both at work, a day will not go by without dropping an sms or telephoning the other and declaring your love. You will not shy away from expressing love words and make efforts to charm your spouse with those delightful and pleasing words as reflected in the book of Song of Songs, for instance 4:9-10 and 5:18-19.

This will maintain a very healthy relationship and, in the process, avoid those small foxes that trick you into becoming a cheater or one who is always seeking a way out. It will also bring some sparks of romance into your aging marriage and indeed bring that beautiful taste like an aging wine.

How do we achieve this? Apart from the love language that you need to use, exchange of gifts, taking each other out for lunch or dinner at a restaurant, changing your sexual encounter patterns and so on, you need to start respecting, being kind and patient, understanding, not being rude and not looking after your own interests. And indeed, do not be easily angered with the other but, instead, love, cherish and look for the posi-tives from the other.

Start caring, and all these will fan the flames of love and bring back the spark of passion into your marriage. In this way you will keep each other happy at all times. - Prof Derrick Mashau, Unisa

Messina Primary School recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary. Planting a tree as part of the celebrations are the community services manager of the Musina Municipality, Mr Pedron Nndwa (left), and the general manager of De Beers Venetia Mine, Mr Ludwig von Maltitz.

The Limpopo province is looking for a solution to clamp down on the trade in illegal cigarettes.

This was the mission of an anti-il-licit trade summit that was held in Polokwane a fortnight ago. “If we don’t do something fast enough, we stand to regret [it] sooner rather than later,” said the Limpopo premier, Stanley Mathabatha, during the opening of the summit. The summit was also attened by the Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (Tisa),

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) and the Uni-versity of Limpopo.

The Hawks hosted the summit in order to prioritise the investigation of cigarette smuggling.

Mathabatha identified Limpopo’s borders with Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique as the critical stra-tegic buffers when it came to the illicit trading and smuggling. According to provincial police spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, the premier was

referring to Health Minister Arron Motsoaledi’s signing of an anti-smuggling protocol which aimed to eliminate tobacco syndicates and to track and trace such products from their manufacturers to their destinations.

Mathabatha said more than 50% of all illegal cigarettes were smuggled into South Africa from Zimbabwe. “There is a serious need of working together with the various law-enforcement agencies of those countries. The same way in which we are waging war against rhino poaching, we should do with cigarette smuggling,” he said. He also added that the the government was committed to offering their support to stop this illicit trade.

Tisa echoed the premier’s statements. Tisa said that, according to the National Council Against Smoking, there would be fewer cheap products for children and adults to smoke if smuggling were curbed.

Mulaudzi said that the summit was the culmi-nation of the on-going collaboration between the tobacco industry and law-enforcement agencies to curb the scourge of illicit cigarettes that flood the South African market.

As the effect of the illicit trade of cigarettes was discussed during the two-day long summit, it concluded with Gen Molatjana, Deputy Provin-cial Commissioner DPCI: Limpopo and National DPCI Cigarette Champion, accepting and taking ownership of implementing the outcomes with the backing of all who were involved in developing the strategy into workable plans.

Area Commissioner Richard Malebane hands over the carpentry machine to one of the ex-offenders, Mr Nelson Mafadza (far right), while Chief Thinawanga Randima (centre) looks on.

By Silas Nduvheni

Ex-offenders urged to utilize their new skillsThe newly appointed area commissioner of the Thohoyandou Management Centre, Mr Rich-ard Malebane, has urged ex-offenders to use the skills they acquired while in prison to help create jobs for them and other unemployed community members.

Eight ex-offenders, who are now on parole from the Thohoyandou Correctional Centre, received equipment for welding, sewing, car washing and carpentry to start up new lives, doing jobs that they were trained for while in prison. “We want ex-offenders to be self-suffi cient and create jobs for themselves and others through the skills they acquired. We call upon the traditional leaders to give the ex-offenders the land to use for ag-ricultural and self-sustaining projects in their communities,” said Malebane.

He was speaking at Lehae la batho (the place of people) Halfway House in Ha-Mutsha village last Thursday during an event to help ex-offenders start up something which can bring food to the table. “We understand that the traditional leaders are the custodians of restoration of a moral life, and we hope ex-offenders can work well with traditional leaders. We will also monitor the equipment we are donating to ex-offenders to fi nd out if it is being used properly,” added Malebane.

The equipment handed over to the ex-offenders was donated by the Life After Prison Community Forum, Nedbank Thohoyandou, Mulase Business

Connection and the Department of Correctional Services in Thohoy-andou.

Chief Thinawanga Randima, one of the traditional leaders in the Vhembe region, said he fully sup-ported the idea of the department of changing the lives of ex-offenders for the better, so that they may able

to create jobs for themselves. “We want to unite the ex-of-

fenders with their families and communities. We find that some ex-offenders are rejected by their families and communities as soon as they are released from prison, and they might commit other crimes if not kept busy,” he added.


DA accuses government of dumping important equipmentThe Limpopo government is ac-cused of dumping medical equip-ment while patients in the province go without basic facilities like beds, incubators and wheelchairs.

During an inspection at the Polok-wane provincial hospital last month, the DA’s Jacques Smalle said he was shocked to discover piles of medical equipment such as wheelchairs, beds, incubators, trolleys and photocopy machines being dumped behind the hospital. He said the department was failing to fi nd an agency that could fi x the broken equipment. Smalle further said most of the hospitals in the deep rural areas of Limpopo did not have enough beds. “We want to see fi rst-class hospitals and service delivery in the province,” he said.

Smalle added that the dumped equipment appeared to have only minor defects and in some cases ap-peared to be in perfectly good shape. “We have reason to believe that the medical equipment has been lying there for more than a year without it

being repaired. The DA wants an urgent meeting

with Health MEC Dipuo Letsatsi Duba to explain why the Limpopo government is dumping medical equipment instead of repairing it,” Smalle said.

Smalle said the DA would be con-ducting a widespread investigation into the destruction of medical equip-ment in Limpopo in the coming days. “The DA has already organized with businesspeople to pay for the fi xing of broken equipment,” he said.

In reaction, Ms Adele van der Linde, the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Health in Lim-popo, said: “What the DA observed at the provincial hospital grounds, is the assets unit where equipment from all over the Limpopo Province is being sent for repairs. It is not a dumping site as no waste is being deposited there. Most of the equipment is in-deed repairable and that is the very reason why it is taken there and not disposed of.”

The Vhembe community welcomed Mr Richard Malebane as the newly appointed area commissioner for the Thohoyandou Area Management of the Department of Correctional Services during a ceremony held recently at the New Life after Prison´s halfway house in Tsianda. Malebane is flanked by Ms Rofhiwa Ragimana and Elisa Mbengeni.He was appointed with effect from 1 September.

In the photo are (from left to right) Ms Lufuno Crooks, Mr Eric Budeli, Ms Anniekie Mkhumeleni and Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini .

“Life in prison is unbearable” - ex-convict“Life in prison is unbearable and now I can only advise the youth to concentrate on their studies and never get them-selves into criminal activities.”

Ex-convict and parolee Eric Budeli (40), who spent nearly 13 years in jail for murder, said these words during his official welcome as a volunteer at the Munna ndi nnyi (Who is the real man) centre at Lwamondo last Thursday.

Munna ndi nnyi is an NGO which counsels victims of crimes, teach children about their rights and challenges men to become real men by not abusing their wives and children and starting to act responsibly.

Budeli’s duties at the centre will include, among others, wel-coming visitors and facilitating

programmes. “I thank Munna ndi nnyi for accepting me back into the community,” said Budeli.

Budeli was arrested and sen-tenced to 27 years after he lost his temper and killed his ex-partner’s lover. “I regret everything that I did. I know I acted out of anger,” he said sofly. “Anger is not good; as people we must learn how to control our emotions – most particularly anger.”

Of the 13 years that he spent in jail, he used nine years to educate himself and also to help educate the inmates around him. He enrolled with a university and obtained a three-year diplo-ma in development studies and a degree in human and social studies. “I was a facilitator for psychological programmes and ABET classes for nine years,”

he said. “I accepted that what I did was wrong and I needed to correct my way of living.”

Although he holds a diploma and university degree, Budeli hasn’t secured employment yet. “If given the chance to demon-strate my skills and knowledge, I can do exactly that to the satisfac-tion of my employers,” he said.

Munna ndi nnyi’s Bardwell Mufunwaini said that the organ-isation was happy to welcome Budeli and that they were looking forward to witnessing his con-tribution to the centre. “Budeli has volunteered to work with us as a man who has learned his lesson,” Mufunwaini said. “We also believe that he is the right person to work with, as we are an organisation which tackles the burning issue of ‘the real man’.”

Phaswana murder case postponed

Needy pupils to benefit from bursary scheme

Livhuwani Priscilla Phaswana appeared in the Dzanani Magis-trate’s Court on Mon-day in connection with a murder case.

Phaswana’s case was postponed to 6 Novem-ber, for the director of public prosecution to decide whether she should be tried in the High Court.

Phaswana allegedly set her husband and stepdaughter alight on 24 March, at Tshirolwe Extension 2. It is alleged that she and her late husband argued about the strange SMS which Phaswana had noticed

on his phone. She allegedly went outside the house. When she returned with a bottle of petrol, she found both father and daughter fast asleep. She then allegedly poured out the contents of the bottle inside the house and the petrol caught the candle flame, which instantly caused an inferno.

Mr Josias Thivheli (48) and Rofhiwa (16) sus-tained critical burns in the raging fire and eventually died in hospital.

Needy students who are strug-gling to raise funds for their tertiary studies will benefit from the bursary scheme of Vhembe District Municipality.

According to Mr Matodzi Ralushai, communications man-ager of Vhembe, R3 million has been set aside to assist im-poverished pupils coming from disadvantaged families. “We allocated these funds in response to the needs of the community we serve. We have established this bursary fund in order to assist learners who passed Grade 12 and qualify to further their stud-ies at tertiary institutes.”

Ralushai says the bursary scheme is handled by the ex-ecutive mayor’s office and it caters for tuition fees, books and accommodation. To qualify for a bursary, pupils must be residents of Vhembe District Municipality and must show a consistently good performance, while their parents are unemployed or clas-sified as indigent. Pupils must be in Grade 12 during the current financial year or have passed Grade 12. The bursary covers the fields of study focusing on engineering , auditing, financial accounting, economics, business management, tourism, agricul-

ture and mining.Ralushai says application

forms are available from the executive mayor’s office until 30 November. Application forms must be accompanied by a cer-tified copy of Grade 12 results or tertiary academic record, an affidavit which shows indigence, proof of residence, a certified copy of ID or birth certificate, a letter of reference from the school principal (for Grade 12) or a certificate of good conduct from a tertiary institution.

Children of councillors and municipal officials are not eligi-ble to apply for this bursary fund.

Cllr N.G. MahosiMayor

Thulamela Municipality

On behalf of Thulamela Municipality, I want to wish all learners who will be sitting for the 2013 fi nal examination the best of luck. I want to encourage you not to look back, but to take advantage of this opportunity

and do well in the upcoming examination.

As government we are committed to our view of positioning education as one of the leading priorities for the foreseeable future.

You should concentrate on the examination knowing fully well that you enjoy the support, not only of our municipality but of your educators, parents and the community at large.

I know that many of you have been learning under diffi cult circumstances, but the fact that you are now preparing for this examination says much of your character and determination.

Please remain focused in the remaining days, be confi dent in your ability, concentrate on your books and make us proud at the end of the year.

From the Mayor of Thulamela MunicipalityHer Worship, Cllr Mahosi

Pastor Tshimangadzo Mutsharini of the Disciples Church in Ha-Mashau. In the picture, he is standing next to the shack which they use for church services. At the back is the uncompleted church building.


Church and headman at loggerheadsThe pastor of the Disciples Family Church in Ha-Mashau is accusing Vha-Musanda Mashau of allegedly allocating a part of the church's stand to other people without consult-ing the church.

Pastor David Mutsharini said the church was allocated a stand in 2009 and they had to pay an initial fee of R5 000. According to him, he was aware of the R2 500 balance that was still payable. "Some people pay only R700 and are allocated a stand, but they did not even consult with me before they acted," he said.

The four-hectare stand has now caused a lot of animosity between the pastor and the tra-ditional authority of Ha-Mashau.

“They initially allocated one person a space in our area, but we didn’t say anything. Now it’s the third person and no one has told me why they were doing that,” Mutsharini said.

Vha-Musanda Thavha Ronald Mashau insisted that the pastor did not follow the right proce-dure, hence they cut off part of his church’s stand. He said that his traditional council was not fighting him.

“We are asking him to follow the right procedure. He is just claiming a huge portion of the stand and he is doing nothing about it,” he said.

Vha-Musanda Mashau said the church had been there for three years, but the pastor had not settled his debt to get the title

deed of that place. “He still has to pay the balance. He is threat-ening us with a court order. We cannot just allocate huge areas of our soil to somebody who is not even doing anything about it,” he added.

Mr Dan Mashau, who is from the office involved in the allo-cation of stands in the area, said they had agreed in the commu-nity that they would not allocate huge spaces to any individual. “He did not finish paying, but we gave him time because it is a church, hoping that he would finish,” he said. He added that there were no developments on the church's stand. “It is just a shack, and the church building has been not completed since they started in 2009,” he said.

Two Beit Bridge men have each been sentenced to an effective 21 years in jail for stealing cop-per cables to the value of US$10 000, which they intended to smuggle to South Africa. The cables belonged to Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa).

Gilbert Moyo (43) and Asifa Sibanda both of Makakavhule village outside Beit Bridge plead-ed not guilty to copper theft but were convicted by Magistrate Innocent Bepura on Friday.

It was testified that on 7 July at

about 20:00, Moyo and Sibanda drove to Mapai village, about 15km out of the border town, in their car. On arrival, they cut 80kg of copper cables, to the value of US$1 000. The court was told that the two men then concealed the loot in the tyre of a haulage truck and drove back to their home, where they hid the loot in a bedroom.

On 18 July, the two went to Matshiloni village, about 40km out of the border town along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo road. They cut electricity poles, using

cutters and axes, which resulted in a power blackout in the entire border town.

Zesa, however, teamed up with police and conducted joint investigations which led to the arrest of Moyo and Sibanda and the subsequent recovery of 350kg of stolen cables, valued at US$7 000.

They were arrested while in the process of loading the loot into their car.

Two axes, a hacksaw, a pair of pliers and cutting disc were also found at the scene.

New courts for Mphaphuli Secondary

Big dreams for referee Lufuno Mufamadi

Is Makhuvha stadium ready for NFD?

Mphaphuli Secondary School has increased its efforts to inspire its pupils to develop a keen interest in diverse sports.

The R180 000 professional court project, which was made possible by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, is set to inspire the pupils to participate in netball and volleyball.

Speaking at the handover cere-mony at the school in Makwarela on Monday, the secretary of the

school governing body (SGB), Mr Trinity Tshivhula, said the project would help not only pupils but also members of the community. “This project will benefit everyone, not only our pupils,” he said.

The principal, Mr Lufuno Mulaudzi, thanked the National Lottery, Thulamela Local Mu-nicipality and Vhembe District Municipality for involvement in the project. He said that the

court project would inspire even the pupils who were still going to study there.

Mr Avhatakali Themeli, the sports co-ordinator at Vhembe District Municipality, said the court was meant to benefit the pupils and members of the com-munity. “The municipality will organise the games to be played at the court during the official opening, which will be hosted soon,” he said.

A female soccer referee, Ms Lufuno Mufamadi.

When the 27-year-old Lufuno Mufamadi had to decide on a career, she did not opt for the traditional jobs associated with women. Instead, this energetic young lady decided she wanted to be a soccer referee.

Lufuno was born at Tshivhulani village in the Vuwani area and her love for soccer started at a very early age. “I started dreaming about soccer when I was only 11 years old,” explained Lufuno. She said that she started playing football when she was 13 years old, when she joined the Shayandima Morning Stars ladies team. She later played in the Sasol women’s league with the likes of former Banyana Banyana striker Disebo Mametja and Noko Motlou.

“When I hung up my soccer boots in 2011, I was motivated by a fellow Vhembe lady, Lufuno Nemagovhani,” she said. Nemagovhani was a female referee and encouraged the young player to become involved in soccer refereeing. She said that the Limpopo province succeeded in produc-ing stars like the late Lesley Manyathela and the local teams consistently performed well in the top leagues, but the province was yet to produce a top female referee.

At the moment, Lufuno’s aim is to officiate in the National Second Division league (better known as the Vodacom league) and use it as a stepping stone

to greater heights as she believes in appointments on merit and ability. “People should judge me on my performance and not on my gender,” she said.

Black Leopards will have to wait for two more weeks before they play their first league match at the Makhuvha Stadium.

According to the manager of sports and recre-ation at the Thulamela Municipality, Mr Ronald Makhadi, a delegation from the municipality, to-gether with the other stakeholders, including Black Leopards FC, visited the stadium last Thursday.

Makhadi revealed that the delegation was satis-fied with the progress made at the stadium to date. He was specifically referring to the areas which the head of technical services in the Premier Soc-cer League, Prof Ronny Scholtz, h a d p o i n t e d out that he was not happy with during his first visit to the sta-dium early last month. During his first visit, Scholtz indicated that the pitch was not playable.

Satisfied with t h e p r o g r e s s made at the sta-dium, the del-egation invited Prof Scholtz to come and in-spect the pitch again. According to Makhadi, the

response they got from the league was that Prof Scholtz will only be able to come and inspect the stadium towards the end of next week.

That implies that Lidoda Duvha will not be able to play their league match against Blackburn Rovers at the stadium tomorrow as anticipated. Instead, the match will be staged at the Seshego Stadium in Polokwane.

The chairman of Black Leopards, Mr David Thidiela, is optimistic that playing in front of the packed Makhuvha Stadium will change the team’s fortunes.

Hat trick for Malindi against UnitedMalindi Ravhutsi kept the unbeaten record of his team, Madodonga United, intact by scoring a hat trick when they walloped Vleifontein United 3-1 in their Safa Vhembe MMK In-surance match. It was played at Madodonga

on Saturday.The defeat of the youthful Vleifontein was a

fair result, when one takes into account the fact that they spent the whole match running for cover. The absence of many players in the Vleifontein

team was felt from the onset.

Surprise Raulinga and Vhonani Rambau could not make the grade as the opponents used them as their freeway. The only player who was cautioned with a card in the first half was Raymond Mashau of Vleifontein. He tackled Given Netshithuthuni roughly.

Ravhutsi beat the opponent’s keeper , Tsumbedzo Mudau, with a close ground cut-ter in the 27th minute to score the only goal of the first half. In the second half, the visi-tors replaced Vhunani Levhusha and Surprise Raulinga with Cassius Ravhutsi and James Ndimande respectively.

Madodonga put mat-ters beyond doubt when Ravhutsi forced his way through the defence of the opponents and unleashed from close range.

The consolation goal of the Vleifontein lads was scored by Ray-mond Mashau, after he finished off a square pass from Naledzani Makhudzha.

Ravhutsi completed his hat trick when he beat three defenders in a row and scored easily.

Soccer lesson for Mukula Avalon Hard-earned victory for Chippas LadiesNot only did Mukula Young Santos deposit the maximum league points into their league account at the expense of Mukula Avalon, they also collected four goals and conceded none at the Mukula Tshidza-tsha-Maria grounds on Saturday.

Avalon managed to contain the hosts for the better part of the first half, but their original fighting spirit faded with time.

Mulisa Sikhege of Avalon was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He tackled Vhah-angwele Tshifhango from behind and the referee

In their Safa Sasol Women’s League match at the Makware-la Stadium on Sunday, Chip-pas Ladies came back from a half-time 0-1 deficit to beat the stubborn Botlokwa Ladies 3-2.

Chippas were lucky not to concede an avalanche of goals during the first half. The visitors

displayed entertaining football, with Chippas running for cover. Botlokwa threatened to score in the 14th minute. Sophie Masupa watched in disbelief as her vol-ley hit the crossbar and bounced outside the field of play for a goal kick.

Things turned against the

home side in the 27th minute. Jomo Malowa caught the Chip-pas keeper, Nyiko Mafanela, napping and beat her with a long-range ground cutter. Chip-pas gained momentum towards the end of the first half. Kholani Mukhuwana dribbled past three defenders in a row and shot wide

was lenient enough to let him go with yellow. Young Santos stamped their authority when the game was 24 minutes old. Sharlen Munyamela gave the ball a final touch, following a scramble within the box.

Avalon’s veteran midfielder, Tshifhiwa “One-One” Nedzamba, did not live up to the fans’ expectations as he was tightly marked. Realizing that Nedzamba was just making up the numbers of their midfielders, the team’s technical staff replaced him with Shadrack Vhengani early in the last half.

Santos increased the margin in the 58th minute. The left-footed Nndateni Netshitadi forced his way through the defence of Avalon before un-leashing a volley. The keeper of Avalon watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net. A defender of Avalon handled the ball within the box and the referee was quick to award the home side a penalty. Thompho Munyai, who came on as a substitute, converted from the spot.

Eric Makhuvha of Avalon was booked for a late tackle on Joshua Netshilindi in the 68th minute. Freedom Makhuvha scored the fourth for Young Santos four minutes later. Sharlen Munyamela of Santos handled the ball within his own penalty area and that was a clear penalty. Lucky Netshif-hefhe caused an upset by shooting straight to the keeper. Avalon lost hope after the incident.

Tshifhiwa “One-One” Nedzamba of Avalon controls the high ball

from close range.It took Chippas 56

minutes to open their account. Kholani Mukhu-wana forced her way through the defence of Botlokwa and dished a square pass to Gudani Nephalama, who was in a perfect scoring posi-tion. Nephalama headed home after the keeper of Botlokwa mishandled the ball.

Maite Tloukimang of Botlokwa was rep-rimanded with a card for a late tackle on Sa-lome Nndwa in the 59th minute. Botlokwa were awarded a free kick in the 35-meter area sev-en minutes thereafter. Mashalane Makwena scored from the set piece with a volley.

The Botlokwa Ladies fought the last 20 min-utes with their hands tied behind their backs. Their midfielder, Maite Tloukimang, was given her marching orders, following a second book-able offence. Chippas capitalised by scoring the equaliser. Mokgadi Sen-yolo blasted in a rocket after a rebound.

Holani Mukhuwana scored the third for Chip-pas six minutes before the final whistle.

Kholani Mukhuwana beat the keeper with a half volley.

Maite Tloukimang of Botlokwa controls the ball, while Thabelo Magoro of Chippas is attacking from behind.

The education forum and SANCO branch of Makonde handed a special certificate of appreciation to Mr Amie Chhaya of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) this week for his assistance in the form of various donations during the Heritage Day celebrations in Makonde village. Pictured here with Mr Chhaya (middle) are Dr T A Alidzulwi, organiser of the education forum (left), and Pastor Joseph Mulaisi (right) of the Agape Church

Gudani ‘DJ M’Venda’ Mpapele is sweeping the dance floors with his distinctive music talent.

Besides producing well-known musicians l ike Shuff lers Ragimana and Burning Saul Nephawe, the village of Ma-konde is once again on the map for producing an upcoming music DJ who is sweeping the dance halls with his distinctive talent.

Known as DJ M’Venda by fun lovers, Gudani Mpapele spends most of his time in musical gigs as he is in great demand both regionally and provincially.

DJ M’Venda’s passion for his work has kept him a notable DJ over the past two years and he says he aims to reach the top in the music industry through his knowledge and talent. “I have to utilize my skills and learn more from experts as I work my way up towards my ultimate goal of producing my own original music and remixes.”

Asked about what makes him rise to the occasion, DJ M’Venda said: “I am very creative and this makes it easy for me to mix all types of music. I scan the situa-tion and quickly apply the music genres to fit the right occasions

for all my clients. Most of the times, I focus my energy on afro deep house, tribal house and a bit of electro house.”

DJ M'venda’s journey towards success has been an event-ful one, with loads of expe-rience still be-ing gained my mingling with more experi-enced counter-parts. He says his influence in the house mu-sic industry has been the likes of DJ Oskido, DJ Fresh, Glen Lewis, Black Coffee and DJ Kent.

He is a usual figure at par-ties, clubs, tav-erns and music festivals where he wins the hearts of his fans through

his unique mixing style. He also organizes gigs and events in his local community to empower young artists who want to pro-mote their music talent.

Local artist Sir Mckleker entertained the guests.

Early Christmas for Tondalushaka centreThe vulnerable, orphaned and needy children at the Tondalushaka Home-based care centre in Madombidzha received gifts and money when Unarine Boutique in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) threw a fundraising bash and fashion parade to benefit the centre.

The well-attended event was held at Alry Guest House in Munnik Street in Makhado (Louis Trich-ardt) on Saturday.

The guests included, among others, local small-business people, PhalaPhala FM’s Jones Netshipise and Mpho Nefale. Nefale and Netshipise acted as MCs for the day. “It’s an uplifting thing to see the needy being fed, clothed and supported, so that they can stand on their own,” said Nefale.

Tondalushaka’s director, Ms Nyambeni Nemaun-gani, thanked all the people who had contributed in one way or the other and indicated that the centre had been going through tough times financially. “This is because the number of children who need to be part of the centre keeps growing, and we cannot send them away because the poor children need help,” Nemaungani pointed out.

Gideon Nare, one of 173 Tondalushaka benefi-ciaries, recited a short poem on how his involve-ment with the centre had impacted on his life. “We do not just go to Tondalushaka to eat, but we learn a lot and the poem which I am rendering now is only a proof that things are happening at Tonda-lushaka,” he said.

Unarine Boutique’s CEO, Ms Olivia Mukwevho, said that they had decided to adopt the home-based care some years ago, even before she started operat-ing formally as a boutique. “I always give whenever I can, and it’s not that I have plenty of money,” she

spoke. “We help these children because we want to relay a strong, positive message. Even when you are surrounded by a lot of challenges and problems, you can still stand like a solid rock which no storms can move.”

She then advised those around to always try to help the needy. “When God blesses you with some fortune, He is doing so because He needs you to help the less fortunate in life,” said Mukwevho.


Letter from the Press Council of South Africa

Press Council “committed to highest standards”(The following letter is a reply from the director of the Press Council of South Africa, Mr Joe Thlohloe and is a response to the open letter published last week in which readers are advised not to make use of the press ombudsman’s office until such time as the lack of integ-rity of the process had been addressed.)

It is understandable that Mr Anton van Zyl, owner and editor of the Zoutpansberger and the Limpopo Mirror, got very angry when a newspaper in the Media24 stable, Sondag, published allegations against his wife and vicariously against him.

He chose to complain to the Press Council of South Africa rather than go to the courts, something that we in this office encourage, to save readers from unnecessary expenses in litigation in the courts and to facilitate speedy resolutions.

What should have been a run-of-the-mill complaint has now been muddied, to the point where Mr van Zyl’s two publi-cations are now calling on their readers to boycott the Press Council and its processes.

In the nearly 1 800-word editorial carried by the two newspapers, Mr van Zyl alleges that this office is bullied by Media24 and pressurised “into not protecting the integrity of the Press Code”. To use his words: “…the Press Council looked the other way and allowed their biggest partner to urinate on the Press Code.”

These allegations are pa-tently untrue – one simply has to go into our website www.presscouncil.org.za to find the scores of rulings this office has delivered against Media24 publications. One merely has to read the rulings to see how this office values journalistic ethics and high standards in the print industry. Mr van Zyl knows this very well, but his anger has clouded his judgment.

We are proud that we are independent of the industry that funds our operations. Our constitution is very firm: “The constituent associations explic-itly guarantee the independence of the PCSA (Press Council of SA), so that it can act without fear or favour in the interests of a free and ethical press…”

Mr van Zyl has conjured up the stories of the problems in the British and Australian regulatory systems to bolster his argument, but these are

irrelevant to this particular complaint.

To focus our minds, here is the correct chronology of events related to the complaint:

May 26: Sondag published article Doom Se Doring.

May 27: Mr van Zyl sub-mitted complaint to the Press Council - i.e. to the Public Ad-vocate in the council - about it.

May 29: The complaint was forwarded to Sondag.

June 4: Mr van Zyl, in his capacity as editor of the Zout-pansberger, emailed questions to the editor of Sondag, Mr Peet Bothma, for an article he was writing about the Sondag story he had already com-plained about to the Press Council. (This is an incorrect assumption - see response below for clarity)

June 5: Bothma wrote back to van Zyl refusing to answer the questions. On the same day, Sondag asked the Public Ad-vocate for an extension of time to be allowed to respond to the complaint by the week of June 10, and that was granted.

Van Zyl’s lawyers sent a letter to Sondag demanding that the story be removed from the newspaper’s web-site, failing which they would approach the courts for an interdict against Sondag. The newspaper removed the article. (Also not correct – but of lesser importance in this debate)

June 7: Zoutpansberger published an article Sondige Sondag running on its front page and page 2. A photo-graph of the article that was the subject of this complaint accompanied the Zoutpans-berger article.

Peet Bothma wrote to the Ombudsman and said Sondag had instructed its lawyers to take further steps because the complainant had decided to debate its issues publicly by publishing the article.

Sondag’s lawyers sent a letter of demand to the Zout-pansberger, van Zyl and Mrs Adri van Zyl demanding that the Zoutpansberger retract the article and apologise unconditionally for it.

Sondag responded to the Public Advocate on the complaint, arguing that “this matter has escalated … beyond the jurisdiction of the Press Ombudsman as envis-aged by the Press Code.”

June 10: President of the Association of Independent Publishers Mahmood San-

glay wrote to the Press Coun-cil conveying Mr van Zyl’s concerns and his belief that Media24 was intimidating him by resorting to the use of lawyers on this complaint.

June 13: The Zoutpans-berger lawyers responded to Sondag’s lawyers saying that Mrs van Zyl had no connec-tion to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owned it: “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned.”

The lawyers concluded: “Any application or action instituted by your client will vehemently be opposed.”

June 27: Public Advocate set aside her acceptance of the complaint.

Press Ombudsman endorsed the setting aside of the accep-tance of the complaint.

July 1: Adri van Zyl lodged an application for leave to appeal, arguing: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do. He also did it from a first person per-spective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife …”

September 10: The Chair of Appeals, retired Gauteng Judge President Bernard Ngoepe, dis-missed the application for leave to appeal, ruling: “We cannot substitute one complainant for the other at this stage.”

This chronology, particular the material in bold, gives a broad and fuller look at the events that led to van Zyl writ-ing his editorial.

This broader look reveals a number of facts that van Zyl’s readers should take into account before accepting his proposal not to use the Press Council:

1. Mr van Zyl, by his own admission and by his wife’s account, knows the rules – after all he was party to writing them.

2. He knows that the Press Council’s “independent co-reg-ulatory system” relies on the good faith of the complainant and the publication to resolve their dispute through using the system. Once we believe that one of the parties intends going to court, we withdraw our at-tempt to mediate and allow the parties to resolve the matter at another forum they prefer.

3. Mr van Zyl ignored that and tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zout-

pansberger’s editorial pages. He sent questions related to this complaint to the editor of Sondag and proceeded to pub-lish the article Sondige Sondag. He had thus chosen another forum to fight his battle.

4. Only when the inappro-priateness of this strategy was pointed out to him did he attempt to distance the editorial content of the Zoutpansberger from his wife.

His lawyers say that Mrs van Zyl has no connection to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owns it and “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned”.

5. In Mrs van Zyl’s appli-cation for leave to appeal she says: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do.

He also did it from a first person perspective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife…”

6. When it suits them, the van Zyls are inseparable and when it doesn’t they want to be seen as separate entities.

7. They leave the Press Council in a position similar to that of a peacemaker in a pub brawl, whose attempts to sepa-rate the opponents are thwarted by the sneaky blows thrown around him.

8. The first letter of demand sent by lawyers was from Mr van Zyl. True, he did withdraw it when he was advised by the Public Advocate. But when the Sondag lawyers sent him a let-ter of demand and his lawyers said they would defend any action, the matter jumped out of the Press Council to another forum.

9. The Press Council then correctly decided on its own that its processes had been sul-lied. It is untrue that the Press Council was bullied by Sondag or Media 24 and it is simply unfortunate that the Press Council was not able to get into the merits of the complaint.

The van Zyls are now free to apply to a court of law for a review of our decisions or they may take their complaint to another forum whose rules they respect.

Having said all that, it is encouraging that Mr van Zyl has not withdrawn his publi-cations from the Press Council system – such a withdrawal would have meant pulling out of the Association of Indepen-dent Publishers and losing the benefits of membership of the association. He, however, urges his readers to complain directly

to him if they have anything against his newspapers, and if they are dissatisfied with the solutions he offers, they may go to the Press Council. He says his publications will abide by the rulings of the Council. This is yet another example of Mr van Zyl wanting to have his cake and eating it. He is, in fact, saying nothing new: we always encourage unhap-py readers to first send their complaints to the editor of a publication and then come to the Press Council when they don’t find satisfaction at that level.

Truth is that the Press Coun-cil remains committed to the highest standards of excellence in print journalism.

- Joe ThlohloeDirector: Press Council of

South Africa

Dear Mr Thlohloe.

I again want to state - as was done in the open letter - that this fight is not “against” the regulatory process. It is also not about a lack of respect for the people working at the Press Council, in fact, they deserve admiration and praise for what they are trying to do. It is about a system that has flaws and these flaws are exploited by media players who act in their own interest and not the interest of truth and freedom of expression.

The sad part is that you have now fallen into the trap that Media 24 has set for you; you started playing the man instead of focussing on what had real-ly happened. In Media 24’s submission to Judge Ngoepe the distinction between my role as member of society and my role as newspaper owner was deliberately muddled. That is also why they probably never pointed out that the person who handled the correspondence with the editor of Sondag, was not me, but Andries van Zyl, news editor of the Zoutpans-berger.

Much of this case concerns the responsibilities of the press. The press has the responsibil-ity to honour the Press Code, which means that basic human rights such as the right to dig-nity should be respected. The press has the responsibility to reflect news in a true and fair manner. The press also has the duty to act as watchdogs of the community to expose corrup-tion and lies.

The Press Council, of all institutions, should under-stand the responsibilities of a newspaper’s editorial team. As is reflected in your reply, the Press Council “blames”

the Zoutpansberger for writing about the lies depicted in Sondag’s article. (“ …tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zoutpansberger’s editorial pages”). What would the Press Council expect the Zoutpans-berger to do? Just be quiet about it and let it slide?

The decision to expose Sondag’s lies was an editorial decision. That takes noth-ing away from my personal involvement. The Press Council expects newspaper editors to take full responsibility for ev-erything published, irrespective of whether they wrote the story or not. This mere expectation implies that the newspaper is seen (and very rightfully so) as a separate entity comprising reporters and editors. Is it not a bit too convenient to now sep-arate the entity and argue that, because the newspaper carried a story that conveyed another perspective, the individuals have no separate rights?

Do you for one moment think this act of standing up against someone like Media 24 is easy for an individual or a small publisher? This “cake” that you talk about is not something that I would offer to you or any other friend. It would have been much easier to do what most people do, namely to just ignore it all and move on.

In your reply you never commented on the real issues, namely that:

· Complainants are immedi-ately exposed to the big media groups’ lawyers.

· The big media groups do not use the regulatory system, but instead opt for the courts. (As you yourself alluded to in point 8)

· The actions of the bigger media players by abusing human rights impact negatively on the smaller publishers.

· The current system of co-regulation offers little pro-tection of freedom of speech for small publishers.

As to your comment that we still refer readers to the Press Council – that is a bit of se-lective reading. We respect the choice of our readers, meaning that should they decide to opt for that route we will abide by it.

Finally – as a matter of interest – we did notify the AIP in advance that we are very possibly transgressing the association’s Articles and that they should consider action against us.

AFB Makhado to hold beer fest

Bare nuckle fighting to revive in Giyani

Second division teams ready for season

It is once again time for AFB Makhado’s very popular an-nual Beer Fest on 26 October from midday until midnight.

The venue is the base’s mess

hall and entrance is R50 per per-son, which includes a beer mug and first beer.

There will be live entertain-ment by Zandré, as well as a

dance, big screen TV to watch the Currie Cub final and a cash bar.

For more information, phone Tobie Hepburn at 015 577 2447 or 079 956 3988.

The recent revival of bare-knuckle fistfighting in the Giyani area was received as good news for the entertainment-starved community of Giyani.

Bbare-knuckle fighters from Venda, under the aegis of Vhembe Traditional Entertainment (VTEO), and their counterparts in the area, which covers Giyani and Malamulele and the manage-ment of Muribani, were not disappointed when a bare-knuckle fistfighting tournament was held at Muribani in Giyani. Muribani was the mecca for this sport until 1969, when it stopped. It was the first time since then that locals were involved with the sport. “Forty-four years is a long time. Most of the people in the crowd here were not born yet,” said Mackson Mahlaule, whose brain-child it was. He said they had requested their Venda counterparts to come and help them revive the sport there.

“Although our boys got the beating of their lives, we think that we will produce good bare-knuckle fight-ers over time,” said Mahlawule.

There were 61 fights on the day and only one fighter from the areas around Muribani won a fight. Ten-year-old Jabu Mathebula, a Grade 5 pupil at Tirhani Pri-mary School at Ntomu Village, clobbered his opponent from Venda. When asked about his parents, the young fight-

er said: “I told my mother and father that I was coming to fight. I will tell them that I have won. ”

Most of the fights featured Venda fighters among themselves as there were no challengers from the Muribani area, which covers the areas of Shihosa-na, Muswana, Nkuri, Nhombelani and Mulamula villages. VTEO chairman Patrick Ramarada said: We came here to revive the sport for the people of Muribani. We had a good day. I think this is just the beginning and they will soon have good fighters. ”

He said their fighters trained every week. He was happy with the support of the community around Muribani, who came in droves.

Lenox Mabila of Joe’ Express.

This weekend marks the commencement of the league activities for the new soccer season. All eyes will be on the match between the newly promoted Joe’s Express FC and Dynamos FC. Joe’s Express gained promotion to the higher division through the respected way of making the grade in the provincial promotional play-offs last month.

It is the same team of Dynamos who were cam-paigning in the National First Division last season. Joe’s Express will pin their hopes on their strikers, Lenox Mabila and Thembisani Nevhulamba, while Dakalo Ratshitanga is expected to distribute some defence-splitting moves from the middle of the park. The match will be staged at the Malamulele Stadium, starting at 13:00.

The other match that will be played at the same venue will be between Rospa United and Winners Park FC. Winners Park must keep a close eye on the United striker, Mashudu “Tlolo” Mashapha, and the team’s demon midfielder, Ndumeliso Mabulele, or else they will be buried live. This one is scheduled to kick off at 15:00.

Lephalale Young Killers will undertake a journey to Nwamitwa village in the Mopani area. They will play against Mopani Winners Park at the Nwamitwa Dynamos grounds. The Giyani Stadi-um is expected to be packed to capacity. That is where Giyani Hotspurs will host Ray Pillars. The Tzaneen-based Blue Rocks will be the visitors in their match against the Dolphins.

The match will be staged at the Seshego Sta-dium in Polokwane. Phungo All Stars will enjoy the home-ground advantage in their match against Modimolle Aces. They will fight for league points at the Makhado (Eltivillas) grounds. Great North FC will have a date with Basel FC at the Seshego Stadium on Sunday. Mighty FC will host Magezi FC at the Peter Mokaba Athletics Stadium this evening, starting at 19:30.


Vhembe Netball Club beat Sekhukhune

Members of the Vhembe Netball Club are seen here, photographed with their coach, Mr Mpho Lishivha.

The Vhembe Netball Club, represented by pupils from Magoni Secondary School in Ravele village, beat Sekhu-khune 19-10 when they par-ticipated in a provincial clash at the Polokwane Rugby Sta-dium a fortnight ago.

The game was part of the annual sport championship or-ganised by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture.

The club’s coach, Mr Mpho Lishivha, said that the win helped them qualify to play against clubs from other prov-inces once the pupils finish writing exams.

“The date hasn’t been con-firmed yet,” he said.

Lishivha added that before they could play with clubs from the other three districts, they had excelled and were named

champions at the circuit and cluster levels.

Hulisani Thenga, the club’s captain, said that the team was proud of having represented Vhembe District and brought home first position. “We’ll play in Bloemfontein after writing our exams,” she smiled happily. “We will make sure that we also win. We see ourselves as a team of winners!”

Pastor Nkhelebeni Ndou of AMH Car Retail Group handed over soccer kits and balls to learners of Tshifhatane Primary School while the principal of the school, Mr Tshimangadzo Mammburu, (seated far right) looks on.

By Silas Nduvheni

Sports equipment for Tshifhatane PrimaryThe pupils of Tshifhatane Pri-mary School in Tshidimbini are actively participating in different sporting codes and, according to the principal, Mr Tshimandadzo Mammburu, they are encouraging them to participate in sports.

The AMH Retail Car Group of Polokwane donated soccer kits to the school.

According to Mammburu, the school is taking various sporting codes seriously be-cause even professional players started playing soccer while

they were still in school. He said the school had also recently completed constructing tennis and volley ball courts after they had received funds from the National Lottery Board.

When handing over the kits donated by the AMH group, the general sales manager, Pastor Nkhelebeni Ndou, said Tshifhatane Primary School impressed his company when one looked at the management of the school, its future plans of excelling in various sporting codes and how learners were

committed to participating in sports.

“We have numbers of appli-cants in our offices who ask for donations, but we need a clear motivation letter with a busi-ness plan before we can fund. We will donate girls kits in the near future if pupils from the school show more commitment in sport,” Pastor Ndou said.

He added his company had already donated rugby kits to Pietersburg High School in Polokwane during their rugby tournament held recently.

Black Leopards are gearing up for a tough NFD match against Blackburn Rovers at the Seshego Stadium tomorrow afternoon (Saturday). This will probably be the last official match at the Seshego Stadium as Lidoda Duvha are expected to utilize the Makhuvha Stadi-um in Thohoyandou as their new home ground soon.

Both Leopards and Blackburn Rovers are not performing well this season.

Leopards are lying in the 12th position on the log, while Rovers are languishing in the third-last spot.

According to Leopards’ head coach, Mr Kostadin Papic, they

have been working on their scoring problem for the past two weeks. He added that they had realized that all other depart-ments, except the striking force, were well balanced and that their sharpshooters had let them down in all five their previous league matches.

He also mentioned that the fact that they were not conceding goals was a clear indication that there was nothing wrong with their defenders. Lidoda Duvha played to goalless draws in three of the five matches they had played so far.

In the other NFD matches that will also be played tomorrow, Jomo Cosmos will host African

Warriors; Sivutsa Stars will en-tertain Thanda Royal Zulu at the Kabokweni Stadium in Nelspruit and the pace setters, Milano Unit-ed, will host Witbank Spurs at the Grassy Park Stadium in Cape Town. Maluti FET College will lock horns with Vasco da Gama at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phuthaditshaba and on Sunday, FC Cape Town will battle it out against Baroka FC in Cape Town. Santos will pay a visit to United FC at the Moruleng Stadium in Rustenburg.

In the only match that will be played this evening, Chippa United will play against Roses United at the Phillipi Stadium in Cape Town.

Card troubles continue at Safa Vhembe

Good start for Madombidzha Western StarsZamenkomste FC lost 0-1 to Madombidzha Western Stars in their MMK Insurance league at the Madombidzha grounds on Sunday.

The side from Zamenkomste was strong at the far back and in their striking force, but the team lacked cohesion in the middle of the park. The balls that threatened the defence of Stars were ballooned from behind.

Jonas Ndou of Stars was booked for applying dirty tricks.

Stars enjoyed more ball possession, but their promising moves were unceremoniously stopped by the rock-solid defence of Zamenkomste. No goal was seen during the first half.

In the 48th minute, the right back for Zamen-komste, Rudzani Sikhitha, was booked for faking an injury. The only goal of the match was scored in the 64th minute. Maanda Magoro of Stars tried his luck from the 25-metre area and the keeper of the opponents, Musandiwa Makhudja, misjudged the flight of the ball and suffered the pain of watching it go beyond his reach.

Stars introduced Daniel Mukosi for Jonas Ndou. The replacement proved to be a fortuitous move on the part of their technical staff. Mukosi was rock solid at the back, defending all tricky moves from their opponents.

It is now like a never-ending merry-go-round of troubles at Safa Vhembe MMK league.

After their initial complaints of not receiving their registration cards, the affected teams are bit-ter again with the mother body.

Teams are now complaining that the registration cards issued have multiple errors on them.

The cards of some of the players were not available and some of the key players have been omitted from the registra-tion cards.

As a result, they feel hard done by and some of the teams said their losses were because of the administrative chaos at Safa Vhembe.

The management of the teams complained that they had made several trips to the Thohoyan-dou office to try and correct the errors.

They said that they were using funds they had never budgeted for “and when asked for compen-sation from the mother body, it was like expecting a rain forest in

the middle of the desert.”When contacted for comment,

the president of Safa Vhembe, Mr George Kubayi, was happy that, although still not perfect, things were starting to shape up. Kubayi told the journalist to inform the teams to call him.

About the cards, he said, his office was working all out to rectify those mistakes.

He promised that his team would work even after hours ensure a smooth flow of the season ahead.

OOIn their MMK Funeral Services League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday, Rockers FC beat Univen FC 1-0 to retain their leader-ship on the log.

Univen started the game with 10 men, while waiting for the registration card and identity document of their dimin-utive midfi elder, Bandile Mashele. The students managed to match the hosts pound for pound in all departments, despite all the odds. Mashele’s registra-tion card and identity document arrived 30 minutes after the game had started. When comparing the identity number on the card with the one on the registration card, the offi cials of Rockers discovered

that the two numbers did not match. They then instructed the opponents not to fi eld the player, saying he was not legible to play under the circumstances.

What followed thereafter was a heated argument between the offi cials of the two clubs and the game came to a halt for longer than 20 minutes as a result. Univen’s offi cials argued that they should be allowed to fi eld the player and that Rockers should lodge a protest if they so wished. That was an insult to Rockers as they maintained that they would abandon the game if Mashele was allowed onto the pitch.

The referee fi nally made a rul-

ing that the player should not play and the game continued as if nothing had happened. To rub salt into the Univen wounds, their keeper, Eugene Mbedzi, sustained a knee injury after a collision with Mulisa Tshivhi.

Mbedzi requested that he should be replaced, but there was nobody on the

team’s bench to take his place and for that reason he was forced to guard the poles to the bitter end.

Rockers capitalised on the limp-ing Mbedzi’s injury to score their much-awaited goal in the 68th minute. Mashudu Siobo scored with a ground cutter from close range.

Univen were reduced to nine men af-ter Lutendo Matodzi saw red, following a dangerous tackle on Ntsieni Nengov-hela in the 76th minute. Despite that, Univen threatened to score moments thereafter. Mutali Mulaudzi shot straight to the keeper instead of chipping the ball and trying other possible ways.
