Angry residents demand own municipality

Malamulele to a standstill

Malamulele town came to a standstill on Monday, when thousands of protestors from the township and all the villages around the town took to the streets.

The marchers were protesting after they had learnt that their application to have their own municipality had been turned down by the Municipal Demarcation Board.

During the march, all businesses, schools and the whole town came to a halt. Angry residents blocked the streets with burning tyres, metal scraps and rocks.

Throughout the day, the police, who were on high alert, maintained their presence with Casspirs and many vans. “The mother of all marches” started at the civic centre, where govern-

ment offi ces are housed, snaked through the township and fi nished back at the local stadium.

At the stadium, protestors were addressed by leaders, where it was announced that government offi cials were not there to receive a memorandum.

The protest march is a result of a 10-year struggle by the people of Malamulele to have a separate municipality autonomous from the Thulamela Municipality. During the transitional local government period, Malamulele had its own municipality, called the Levubu Shingwedzi TLC.

The move by residents is said to have been sparked by a lack of service delivery in the area, nepotism and alleged corruption in the Thulamela Municipality.

New forum unites against mining in Vhembe area A new umbrella organisation was founded to form a united forum of stakeholders affected by the ac-tivities of CoAL of Africa Limited (CoAL) and other similar entities.

Different stakeholders met in the AgriSA head office in Centurion on 14 August, with the outcome that the new Vhembe Mineral Resources Stakeholders Forum was formed. The chairperson of the forum is Mr Philé van Zyl of ZZ2.

“We want to ensure that any pos-sible mining activities are carefully scrutinized in an integrated manner and not on an ad hoc basis. In the case of existing mining operations, we will ensure that they operate in compliance with governing legis-lation. Where damage has already been done to the environment, we will ensure that the environment is rehabilitated in the correct way. Our forum combines the landowners and other stakeholders, including the black communities,” Van Zyl told the Limpopo Mirror on Monday.

Other purposes of the forum are to promote business and economic progress in the area north of the Soutpansberg, to strive towards the preservation of the environment and to collate ideas and opinions by combining the landowners and other stakeholders, resulting in the econom-ic development of the community dependent on the farming activities in the area.

At the founding meeting, Van Zyl elaborated and emphasized that the forum wants to ensure that all appli-cants for prospecting or mining rights in Limpopo are to follow a transparent

application process and that interested parties are fully informed of all the applicants’ activities. Their objective is “to place stakeholders in a position to take whichever action may be deemed appropriate in the event that any transgressions of the relevant leg-islation should occur,” Van Zyl said.

Taking immediate action, the fo-rum instructed its attorney to write a letter in connection with the various mining rights applications by CoAL and others over the farms Schuitdrift, Mount Stuart, Riet, Boas, Generaal, Coen Brits and Bekaf, collectively referred to as the Generaal-project, allied to the Chapudi, Vele (near Mapungubwe Heritage Site), Jutland, Makhado and Mopane projects.

“….grave environmental mis-givings exist in respect of both the Makhado and Vele projects. Under the circumstances, there is no basis for contending that the new pending applications/projects pass under section 23 of the MPRDA,” wrote attorney Christo Rheeders. He re-quested a meeting of the new forum with CoAL and emphasized that a Regional Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (RSEIA) ought to be undertaken “in order to allow interested and affected parties to fully asses the collective impact of the proposed mining activities in the province.”

Other office bearers of the new forum are Tony Taylor, Thabu Bos-man, Gerhard Minnaar, Rudolf Otto, Jacques Willemse and Wally Schultz. Schultz represented the Save Our Beautiful Limpopo Valley (SOLVE) group.

“Government must start listening to the people” From page 1Dr Isaiah Ndhambi, spokesperson for

the Malamulele demarcation task team that organized the protest march, said the march was born out of the frustration they were going through in their fight to have their own municipality. “We have done all that is required of us when ap-plying for the municipality and we were very shocked to learn that the Municipal Demarcation Board had turned down

our application. We are really saddened that, after receiving the go-ahead from Thulamela and Vhembe and also the former MEC, Clifford Motsepe, relea-sing us to have our own municipality, the demarcation board came with a different view,” he said.

Ndhambi said they had documentation from those offices and they had even attached them to their application. “The response which came three weeks ago is

memorandum. She promised to send the memorandum to the relevant authorities.

Asked for comment on the matter, Municipal Demarcation Board CEO Gabusile Gumbi-Masilela said the appli-cation by the Malamulele communities could not get the green light as they did not meet the set requirements.

“We had a careful look at the applica-tion and found that Malamulele lacked an adequate tax base, which is as a result of poverty and unemployment. This does not mean that they could not apply again,” she said.

By Tuesday, Malamulele police spokesperson W/O Alson Mapindani said the area was calm but that 18 cars belonging to government had been dam-aged during the protest.

“While we were busy controlling the crowds at the stadium, unruly mobs turned to criminal activities, damaging cars and looting a shop in the town. We arrested two people in connection with the looting,” said Mapindani.

He said they had opened cases of malicious damage to property and could not rule out the possibility of more cases being opened. “Our investigations are continuing,” said Mapindani.

In the meantime, The Congress of the People (Cope) echoed the sentiments of the protestors. The Vhembe regional chairperson of the party, Cllr Geoffrey Tshibvumo, said in a media statement that “if the Musina municipality can be a municipality with only six wards, why can’t Levubu Xingwedzi be made one? The excuses made by the Municipality of Thulamela and the demarcation board are unacceptable and are not based on facts.”

Tshibvumo added that it was time that the government “start to listen to the people and to start to see reason.” According to him, the request made by these communities is not based on tradi-tion or ethnicity.

The spokesperson for the Malamulele demarcation task team, Dr Isaiah Ndhambi, addresses the protesters at the stadium.

so frustrating and disappoint-ing. They did not grant us the status and, after we had relayed the message, our people de-manded this type of gathering to chart the way forward. This is just a peaceful march to register our concern,” he said.

He said Malamulele qual-ified as per the number of residents, villages, wards and nine recognized traditional leaders with a vast population. “Musina and Mutale have very small populations compared to our area, but they do have their own municipalities. This is the first step. We will have a way forward. After all, we need to know from the board where we went wrong, so that we can correct our mistakes in order to get our own municipal status,” he said.

After the crowd had been addressed, it became evident that the mayor was not present to receive the memorandum. “We have made all efforts to get her here but seemingly she has snubbed us,” added Ndhambi.

From the stadium, the mul-titudes went to the local po-lice station and the mayor appeared and received the

Mabirimisa briefly in court on murder charge

Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital holds accountability summit

On Tuesday, Esrom Mabirim-isa (57) made a brief appear-ance in the Dzanani Magis-trate’s Court in connection with a murder which allegedly took place in the night of 26 April near the Manyii Bridge in Nzhelele.

The case against the accused was postponed to 15 October, awaiting a decision by the public prosecution.

Mabirimisa stands accused of killing a Grade 12 pupil, Pfano Screamer Nare (18). He allegedly found three young men walk-ing along the Manyii Bridge at around 20:00. It is alleged that he fired two shots in the air and five shots at the men, who were now running for their lives. One of the

men, who was later identified as Pfano Nare, was hit by a bullet in the back of the head and died in hospital in the early hours of 29 April.

According to the information made available to the newspaper by the police at the time of the accused’s arrest, Mabirimisa had since claimed that the three men had gathered a heap of stones by the roadside and were throwing the stones at his car. He apparently laid a charge of attempted car hi-jacking against the deceased and the other two men who were with him at the time of the incident.

During a previous court ap-pearance, it was heard that Ma-birimisa is a former municipal

supervisor, who now runs a taxi business in Gauteng.

He is out on extended bail.

Esrom Mabirimisa (57) made a brief appearance in the Dzanani Magistrate´s Court.

Photographed from left to right are Mr Gilbert Muofhe, Khosi Vho-Vele Kutama, Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital´s CEO Irene Malatjie and Khosi Vho-Rudzani Sinthumule.

Buysdorp Clinic Committee´s Mr Gilbert Lawrence.

Representatives from the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital met with the community health projects and traditional leadership in the Sinthumule and Kutama area for an account-ability summit at an event held at the Ravele Community Hall last Friday.

Dr Irene Malatjie, the hospital’s CEO, en-couraged people to visit local clinics instead of going to the Memorial Hospital in order to avoid congestion at the hospital. “Patients must visit the hospital upon receiving a referral letter from the clinic,” she said.

There are currently 74 vacant posts at the hos-pital, 18 of which are professional nurses’ posts. “Any professional nurse who needs a job must submit their CV’s urgently,” she said. “Due to budget constraints, we hadn’t filled all posts in the previous financial year.”

She added that there are currently 14 doctors who will be visiting the clinics on a daily basis

from now onwards.In the 2012/2013 financial year, the hospital’s

annual target for outpatients was 32046, but the hospital was able to assist 50999. The number of deliveries (birth cases) also exceeded the annual target of 1 463 by 188.

“We are awaiting the delivery of a maternity park home from the national Department of Health,” she stated.

At times drugs were out of stock at the depot and the hospital had to borrow drugs from other institutions in Mpumalanga.

Buysdorp’s Clinic Committee member, Mr Gilbert Lawrence said that the doctor last visited the area in September last year and that the mobile clinic only comes once a month. “You can’t tell us to seek referral letters first when the mobile clinic only comes to us once in a month,” said Lawrence. “Who’s going to give us the referral letter? We request an exception to be made for us on this issue of referral letters.”

Malatjie said that from now onwards the mobile clinic will visit Buysdorp twice in a month, and that she will still look into the request of exception on referral letters.

The Buysdorp community further voiced their disappointment about the lack of water at the Memorial Hospital, where patients and visitors sometimes use toilets without water. “We risk our health and contracting many contagious sickness-es,” said one elderly resident. He suggested that the hospital must erect at least two 10 000 litre tanks for storing water.

Khosi Rudzani Sinthumule lauded Malatjie for interacting with the community on issues relating to health services in the hospital and clinics. “You’re the first CEO of the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital to hold a summit where residents could freely voice their concerns regarding health mat-ters,” he said.

He then decried the department’s oversight in not inviting the general community members and the sick to raise concerns in persons instead of having health project co-ordinators represent them.

School celebrates

Eleven Mashau residents denied bail

Suspended beneficiaries to visit SASSA

New uniforms for 143 Maguada pupils

Mapakophele Primary School last week had a double reason for giving thanks.

They expressed their gratitude to their bene-factor, Mr Amie Chhaya, for assisting them once again to cater for parents and other guests during an important handing-over function on Wednes-day (21 August). “His consistent support to our school and community through the years is highly appreciated,” said Mr MS Ramapala, a teacher at the school, who received the donation of maize meal for the event.

The joyous occasion was the festive handing over of several computers donated to the school by Old Mutual. Ramapala said the school was overjoyed by this gift, which consists of five computers, a laptop and a dish. He welcomed Old Mutual’s do-nation as a significant enhancement of the school’s teaching capacity.

Eleven suspects who had allegedly set a house, five cars, a shop and a bar lounge on fire were denied bail when they appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court.

Twelve community members were arrested, but only one of them, Mr Shadrack Maroge (51), was given R10 000 bail, after the court had con-sidered his medical condition. The suspects who were denied bail are: Maanda Tshivhula (20), Stanley Mufamadi (20), Beauty Ramuhashi (17), Tendani Fhedzisani (25), Fhulufhelo Mugwena (17), Thendo Maluleke (17), Zwivhuya Musisidwa (17), Tshamano Mudau (39), Jeffrey Siavhe (28), Alex Mukwevho (20) and Cecilia Mukwevho (23). Their case was postponed to 18 September for a

bail application.The suspects allegedly set alight some property

and vehicles belonging to two businessmen whom community members suspect of murdering two people over the past few months.

Retired academic wants to help the youth

Retired academic Wilson Madzivhandila, who is helping others in their post graduate studies free of charge. He is inspiring the youth to take their education seriously.

Retired academic and well-known psycholo-gist, Dr Wilson Madzivhandila, who recently obtained his second doctoral degree, said his latest qualification should serve as an inspira-tion particularly to students, some academics and professionals.

He said his education should also benefit the country and he is doing just that, as he assists prospective post graduate students to develop research proposals free of charge for them to complete their studies within a reasonable time.

Madzivhandila (66) of Shayandima, who has eight academic qualifications and has worked in different senior capacities in government and the academy, received a doctor’s degree in Public

Administration at the University of Fort Hare. The title of his thesis is The Effects of Transfor-mation Process on the Health Service in Limpopo Provincial Government of South Africa.

“During the apartheid era, there was a myth that certain subjects and disciplines were for certain racial groups. The pursuit of one’s studies in whatever discipline or field of study has no age or race limit. Everything is possible through dedication, sacrifice, commitment, determination and above all with the assistance from God.”

Madzivhandila’s own academic road was never that smooth, as his family was very poor and he only received his early education through the assistance of his guardian, the late Mr Masindi Mulaudzi. “Our country needs skilled people with high academic qualifications in order to enable them to improve the standard of service delivery to the community. I now implore our youth to take issues of education seriously as it is one of the catalysts that could drive this country to the ‘Promised Land’,” he said.

He completed his doctoral degree in psychol-ogy through the University of Limpopo in 1998 and he is a registered psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. He worked as an educator, school principal, SABC radio announcer and director in different government departments in the former Venda homeland. He also worked for the Department of Health as senior manager, CEO of Tintswalo and Elim Hospitals and retired as a senior manager in the Vhembe Department of Health in 2012.

SASSA in Limpopo is urging almost 33 000 grant beneficia-ries whose grants are on sus-pension to quickly go to their nearest offices and state why they didn’t register in time. This will assist grant beneficia-ries to re-register and receive their new cards and payment.

The agency has put the grant beneficiaries on suspension after they failed to meet the re-regis-tration deadline of 31 last month. “We are giving beneficiaries this opportunity after they failed to re-register, but if they fail this time we are going to cut them off and they will have to re-ap-

ply like a new applicant,” said SASSA Limpopo provincial spokesman, Norman Kutama.

The re-registration process started last year April with the aim to re-register all beneficiaries by the end of March this year. After most beneficiaries failed to re-register the deadline was ex-tended to the 31st of last month.

The new system was intro-duced to curb ghost beneficiaries and to root out corruption and fraud.

The convenient card system allows beneficiaries to use mul-tiple payment channels such as ATMs, cash pay-points and se-

lected merchants stores and they can access the grant anywhere in the country.

Kutama emphasised that the agency was giving beneficiaries one last opportunity since most of them are vulnerable people who rely on the grant money. “We don’t want to abruptly cancel their grants,” he said.

He acknowledged that the majority of people who failed to register are young people and genuine recipients of grants. “Elders have responded well, we never experienced problems with them, but young people did not re-register,” he added.

A former teacher, who is known in the Nzhelele area for his philanthropic deeds, has donated uniforms to all pupils at the school where he had once worked for seven years.

Mr Lucky Musekene sin-gle-handedly donated school iniform to 143 pupils of Maguada Primary School at Vuvha a fort-night ago.

Speaking during the event, Musekene said that he was in-vesting in the education of the pupils because he had a strong love for education and could fors-ee a good future for the pupils.

“Education is the only weapon to overcome poverty,” he said. “I am aware of the difficulties which these children have to go through when they go to school without uniforms, and that’s the reason why I decided to give them the uniforms.”

He also indicated that the be-ginning of knowledge is the fear of and respect for God.

The principal, Ms Sandra Musekene, acknowledged the gift of the uniforms and called it a first of its kind in the school. “Nobody has ever donated school uniform to the entire school; this

is a first,” she said. “I am even running short of words to express our gratitude as a school.”

Pupil Khuthadzo Nevhuhulwi thanked the donor on behalf of all the learners and said that the uniform would definitely encourage them to study hard, so that they could also get edu-cation. “Vho-Musekene taught us that we must also give to others when we are in a position to do so, after finishing school and finding jobs,” he said. Musekene had donated seven computers to the school last year for learners to gain computer skills.

Pupils of the Marhorhwani-Malali Secondary School photographed with the circuit manager, Mr Mashudu Munungufhala. Munungufhala said since the inception of the excellence awards in 2010 at the circuit, the results have improved exceptionally from grade one to grade 12. “When we started awarding pupils and teachers in 2010, the Grade 12 pass rate was 45 percent,” said Munungufhala. During the excellence awards ceremony and motivational sessions held last Wednesday at Tiyani, Marhworhani-Malali Secondary school triumphed with an average pass rate of 85 percent in grade 12 for 2012. The school have won a trophy and R10 000 sponsored by Dr Nkhelebeni Phaswana from Kalahari publishers.

Gombani community wants access road

Lion King on stage

Alleged Giyani fraudster in custody

Two statues fit for the presidentThe Gombani community is in dire need of an access road.

This has emerged on Friday during interaction between the villagers, Limpopo Premier Stan-ley Mathabatha and Vhembe Executive Mayor Tshitereke Matibe.

Mathabatha and Matibe, to-gether with MEC Joyce Masham-ba, Messrs Rudolf Phala and Ishmael Kgetjepe, Mutale Mayor Josephina Mukwevho, Thulame-la Mayor Grace Mahosi, Musina Mayor Carol Phiri, Makhado Mayor David Mutavhatsindi and the Deputy Minister for Wom-en, Children and People with Disabilities, Hendrietta Bogo-pane-Zulu, visited Gombani on Friday, to determine the progress made at the bricks-and-concrete project that was initiated by Bogopane-Zulu for unemployed women in the area two years ago.

One of the beneficiaries, Pha-thutshedzo Mulungufhala (30), is

now staying in a three-bedroom house with her seven children.

Mashudu Muvhali (27 and her three children are also residing in a new house. Both young women only had a mud house as accommodation before Bogo-pane-Zulu, together with some MECs, former Vhembe Mayor Florence Radzilani and then Mutale Mayor Tshitereke Matibe built the houses.

After the visit to the projects and the houses, the community was given an opportunity to raise their concerns and appreciation to the premier and his delega-tion. The majority of the people said they desperately needed an access road.

Mr Jerry Phaswana said the lack of an access road to the area was affecting the delivery of services, while Ms Maria Netshiala said pregnant women were losing their babies while waiting for ambulances to come

and take them to the clinic when they went into labour.

Some raised concerns about the shortage of staff at schools, while others complained about the poor network for their mobile phones.

In his response, Matibe said the Department of Road and Transport would be engaged about the poor road conditions in the area. Mathabatha said his administration would try by all means to find a solution to the community’s pleas for a road.

“Our government cares for its people. We gave you an oppor-tunity to raise your concerns and almost all of you are complaining about the road. We might not come with the solution today or tomorrow, but we will definitely answer your challenges,” said Mathabathe, who also apologized to the community for Motlanthe’s failure to visit Gombani.

The Ridgeway Independent School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) invites one and all to their annual concert on 11 and 12 September.

The concert will be a musical presentation of the Lion King and will involve all Grade 1 tot 7 learners. It will be performed at the Fransie Ver-maak Hall (Gereformeerde Kerk) and tickets will cost R40 for adults and high school pupils and R20 for primary school pupils and younger children.

Tickets are on sale at the school office. For further information kindly phone Elaine

Waller or Mulalo Mulaudzi at the school office at Tel 087 820 4507.

The Police in Giyani have arrested a suspect who allegedly pretended to be employed by the De-partment of Health and Social Development and promised people the awarding of tenders should they pay him a specified amount beforehand.

According to Col Ronél Otto of the police’s provincial media centre in Polokwane, Isaih Matome (35) was arrested after a businesswoman from Giyani was phoned by an unknown man who promised to award her a tender of more than R700 000 for the erection of fencing and gates at clinics. He allegedly told the woman to pay an amount of R50 000 to secure the deal and arranged to meet her at a spot in the Giyani central business district. The woman became suspicious and alerted the police, who accompanied her to meet the suspect.

Otto added that the police members assessed the situation and quickly realised that the man was a fraudster. He was arrested on the spot and two accomplices who were waiting for him in his vehicle were later also arrested.

The three suspects appeared in the Giyani

The recent visit by Pres Jacob Zuma to Thohoyandou to receive the King Makhado Bravery Award has helped to uncover the sculpting, ceram-ics, painting and moulding talents of Mr Patrice Mabasa.

Deputy Minister Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu and Premier Stanley Mathabatha carry some of the bricks manufactured at the project.

Magistrates’ Court on Monday on a charge of fraud. The main suspect, Matome, was remanded in custody, while his alleged accomplices, Caleb Mmamuthuntsa (33) and Lucy Ntobi (29), received bail of R1 000 each. They will appear in court again on 2 September.

The police are appealing to anybody who might have fallen victim to similar scams committed by the suspect to come forward with more information. He sometimes also went under the surname of Mamabolo when committing the fraud. Anybody with more information is requested to contact the investigating officer, Lt Moloto at (015) 293 7251 or 071 481 2411.

Mabasa (40) from Mavambe started with his art in 1998. “Af-ter I heard about the Zuma visit, I decided to mould the statue of former president Nelson Mandela and of Zuma. I took to me just a month, using iron rods, cement and paint for the statues,” said Mabasa.

He went to Wits University to study fine arts, but did not complete his studies, due to a shortage of funds. He said he sold his art to tourists going to the Kruger National Park via the Punda Ma-ria road and to the local communities around Mavambe.

“Pres Zuma was ex-cited about my two

statues that I moulded and told me he wanted to buy them, so that they can be put in the Union Buildings in Pretoria. I decided to donate the one to the president and I sold the Madiba statue for R250 to him,” added Mabasa.

He said he had already mould-ed a Hector Peterson statue and his wish was to exhibit it at the Hector Peterson Museum. “I am hoping to open my own art gal-lery, so that people could come and see my artefacts.”

Gogo raped after church service

Sanlam commits to support training

In South Africa, August has been officially declared as Women’s Month. However, an 85-year-old woman was raped at a time when the country is celebrating the worth, the work of women and the contribution which women contin-ue to make in society.

The woman, who resides at Ra-mantsha in the Sinthumule area, was reportedly coming from a church service in Madombidzha village. She was using a shortcut, which snakes along the bushes, so she could reach her destination on time. Unfortunately for her, a man appeared behind her.

When she turned round to see what the footsteps were all about, she saw a man holding a knife in one hand and an iron rod in the other. According to the Tshilwavhusiku police’s spokes-person, Const Munyadziwa Marindi, the unknown suspect demanded mon-ey from the woman. “She replied that she didn’t have money with her,” said

Marindi. “But the suspect continued to search her, although he couldn’t find any money.”

Marindi stated further that the man then started undressing the victim until she was stark naked. He allegedly commanded her to lie down on the bare gravel and raped her. “The suspect is unknown and we ask members of the public to supply us with information which might shed more light on this case,” Marindi said.

The managing director of Munna ndi Nnyi, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini, condemned the act of rape and said that it was unwelcome in a society where women should be respected and celebrated for their social roles. “Anyone who commits such a das-tardly crime is not a real man. We want the police to arrest the culprit and lock him up,” said Mufunwaini. “Whoever did that ill act to the aged lady needs to be removed totally from society.”

Sanlam is pleased to announce that it has signed a memoran-dum of understanding with the Forum of Community Journalists (FCJ), renewing its support of the FCJ’s re-gional seminars which include training workshops for their members.

The agreement was signed during the 19th No guts, No glory, No story joint seminar for the Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpum-alanga and North West regions, held at the Olifants River Lodge outside Middelburg on Friday, 23 August. The seminar was at-tended by some 120 community and local media journalists from these provinces.

The FCJ is an independent, non-profit, non-racial and volun-tary organisation that promotes and expresses the interests of all journalists employed on a permanent or freelance basis at regional community newspapers across South Africa.

The seminars are aimed at adding value to the FCJ mem-bership through training work-shops and insights from speak-ers who address the journalists on various topics relevant to the industry. Says Sanlam Head of Group Communications, Mr Ainsley Moos: “San-lam’s partnership with the FCJ is underpinned by our appreciation of the significant role of community newspapers and the journalists who write for them and keep communit ies across South Africa informed of news they otherwise might not have had ac-cess to.”

The FCJ has been hosting the seminars for a number of years in

partnership with Sanlam. FCJ Chairman, Mr Andries van Zyl, said: “The FCJ is excited to have Sanlam on board once again as sponsor of our regional and na-tional seminars and we are sure to build on the good relations the FCJ and Sanlam have en-joyed for the past two decades. The FCJ is well aware of its challenges in an ever-changing newspaper environment, and without the support of spon-sors like Sanlam, we would not have been able to deliver on our mandate to provide training and support to local media journalists.” Van Zyl, a working journalist and news editor of the Zoutpansberger, said the FCJ was updating and consolidating its regional and national membership lists and encouraged journalists to support this process. “The FCJ also broadly supports initiatives for transformation and diver-sity in the media industry and we welcome membership and participation from communi-ty-owned independent publish-ers and their journalists. There is a vast amount of knowledge to be shared between us, and the FCJ continues to believe

that our regional training sem-inars are just the place to do this,” said Van Zyl. Sanlam’s support for journalism extends to various other initiatives, including the MDDA-Sanlam Local Media Awards, which en-courage and reward excellence among community journalists. Also included are training pro-grammes, such as the Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalists and the Stellenbosch University’s Department of Journalism, which runs a short course on Business Journalism and Numerical Literacy.

“We hope that our support as Sanlam will continue to contrib-ute to the development of the local media sector and the media in general, and we look forward to a positive partnership with the FCJ for the benefit of com-munity journalists across the country,” Mr Moos concluded.

Following the successful 19th No Guts No Glory seminar, Van Zyl said the FCJ’s focus would now be on the other provinces to ensure that other journalists would also be able to benefit from the training seminars. The FCJ would partner with Sanlam once more for those seminars.

Pictured during the signing ceremony of the memorandum of understanding are, Messrs Andries van Zyl (FCJ Chairman), and Ainsley Moos (Sanlam Head of Group Communications).

Local community radio station Musina FM celebrated its fourth birthday during an event at the municipal gardens on Friday. A live outside broadcast was also conducted as part of the special occasion. Community members who have been supporting the station for the previous years mingled with the radio management and presenters and also enjoyed the big cake that was specially made for the occasion. The acting station manager, Ms Winkie Siebane, thanked everyone who contributed towards the success of the station. Local artists also entertained people during the celebrations. Photographed during the celebrations are the station’s technical manager, Mr Marobs Ramphabana, Ms Takalani Ramasindi (admin and financial manager)and Ms Winkie Siebane.

Several doctors and nurses from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) attended a Rescue CPR and First Aid Training workshop that was hosted by Johan Claassen, an advanced life supporter trainer, from 7 to 8 August. The workshop consisted of a written test and some hands-on exercises. Photographed in action is local gynaecologist Dr Patrick Tigere, performing a chest compression on a dummy.

Support local rhino initiative

Modern Vele Secondary School officially opened

The two young rhino conservation activists from Makhado (Lou-is Trichardt), Casper John and Marco, have managed to raise another R4 000 in support of rhino conservation.

They could not have achieved this without the generous support from our community. A very special thanks to Mrs Thompson, the P&L Cycle Club, the Soutpansberg Dorps-

wag, the Moths’ Turbi Hills Shellhole and Laerskool Louis Trichardt for their donations and support.

You still have an opportunity to support their initiative. Come have fun with the boys and Rico the sniffer dog on Saturday, 14 September, from 08:00 to 10:00 at the Run for Rhinos at Hanglip. All children welcome. Entry is only R10 for children en R20 for adults.

The MEC for Education, Ms Dikeledi Magadzi, has urged pupils from Vele Secondary School outside Mutale to take education seriously because edu-cation is the key to success.

“Education is one of the things that break the cycle of poverty that continues to condemn millions of our people to a life without hope.” She addressed pupils in Gogogo village outside Mutale last

week when she officially opened the R44 million Vele School. The school was es-tablished in 1985, while the new school was built in 2007 and completed in 2010. It has 16 classrooms, three computer lab-

oratories and a resource centre.

Magadzi said she was impressed by the im-provement of matric results at the school, which changed from a 38% pass in 2009 to 84% in 2012. “We be-lieve the increase in better matric results is partly linked to the improvements in the new school buildings. The construction of the school has altered the school from a rural learning facility to a pioneering educational and community centre,” said Magadzi.

Magadzi congrat-ulated the school on winning an award for sustainable architecture, an honour it shared with a school in the North West Province.

Premier encourages women to concentrate on fighting povertyPremier Stan Mathabatha said agriculture was underperforming in many developing countries. One of the key reasons is that women do not have equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive, he added.

He was the guest speaker during the female entrepreneur of the year awards ceremony held at Polokwane a fortnight ago.

Mathabatha said women needed every support in order to succeed in their endeavours. “Poverty is our greatest enemy and should be confronted through farming. A country like the Ukraine pro-duces fresh goat meat and the majority of women are succeeding in that business,” he added

He added that farmers should work together to improve the image of agriculture in the province. “Limpopo is known as the food basket of the country, so work hard to improve the standard of agriculture,” he said.

The Marubini Multipurpose Women Co-oper-ative of Maila received R30 000 and a certificate for being third in the competition. The cooperative specialises in egg production as well as vegetable growing and the manufacturing of cement bricks. The chairperson of the project, Ms Grace Hadzhi, said they wanted to increase production.

Poet, painter and mathematician-in-the-making Daphney Twala (20) was photographed with Limpopo Mirror’s Tshifhiwa Mukwevho during the 19th No Guts, No Story, No Glory seminar of the Forum for Community Journalists in Middelburg, Mpumalanga, last Friday. Daphney was, in her words, “born with disabilities” but today she’s an inspirational poet of note, who lives by a slogan given to her by a wise man: “No arm, but amazingly happy”. She currently lives in Middelburg.

Alleged Matangari killer arrested

Development in the spotlight

The police in Mutale have made a major breakthrough by arresting a 21-year old man, suspected of killing Tshinakaho Khorommbi.

W/Officer Tshilidzi Nyambeni says they arrested Sello Mbedzi of Matangari village, following a tip-off from a concerned community member who lives in Gauteng.

He was arrested on 18 August by the Klip Town Police and allegedly “confessed to the murder and pointed to the scene of crime.”

He has already appeared before the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s court, where his case was postponed to Oc-tober 29. He is in custody.

According to Nyambeni, Mbedzi is facing charges of murder, theft of R40 and two cell phones, stolen from Sarah Letsoalo’s home, where Khorommbi was working. “One of the phones has already been recovered from the person who bought it. The second phone was sold in Gauteng, and we are still busy tracing it,” he added.

Nyambeni says Mbedzi is also facing another case of breaking and entering and theft following an inci-dent that happened at an Indian shop,

also at Matangari.Khorommbi’s murder caused tur-

moil in Matangari, where the com-munity was accusing Letsoalo of “murdering her for muti purposes.”

Roads were also blocked while Letsoalo’s house was damaged and torched by the protesting community, who were accusing the police of drag-ging their feet in arresting Letsoalo. As a result, four people were arrested for public violence and one for arson.

Although the community was accusing Letsoalo of killing Khoro-mmbi, the police and her family always maintained that there was no body part missing from the deceased. She was stabbed 30 times during the gruesome murder.

Nyambeni has appealed to the com-munity to be patient with the police while they are doing their work. “Af-ter we arrested Mbedzi, we thought the community would be happy that we were doing our job, but there are some who are still alleging that the suspect was paid by Letsoalo to con-fess to the crime. This allegation has never been proven and we appeal to the community to remain calm as we are continuing with our work.”

Representatives from different community structures recently converged at Musina Nancefield Municipal boardroom to familiar-ize themselves with the integrated development plan (IDP) framework and process plan of the munici-pality.

IDP Manager Themba Ncube says that, according to the Municipal Sys-tems Act, every municipality has to prepare its own credible IDP, which guides them for fi ve years.“In terms of the Constitution, the White Paper and legislation fl owing from it, we are required to structure and manage our administration, budgeting and planning processes, give priority to the basic needs of the community, promote the social and economic development of the community and participate in national and provincial development programmes.”

Ncube says the key IDP refl ections include the municipality’s vision and special emphasis on the most critical development and internal transforma-tion needs and an assessment of the existing level of development, which includes an identifi cation of commu-nities which do not have access to ba-sic municipal services. “This will also help us to look at the development of objectives and priorities for our

people, including our local economic development aims.There is also a need to scrutinize the development of strategies that are aligned with national or provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality.”

He says the municipality always includes its stakeholders when taking decisions to ensure a smooth link be-tween planning and delivery through a detailed and concrete project design process.

“This gives sector specialists their appropriate role in the process, there-by contributing to a smooth planning implementation link. It also provides proposals with tentative target fi gures, coupled with time horizons and costs estimates. Integration of these proj-ects ensures that the results of projects planning are checked for compliance with the vision, objectives, strategies and resources and that they are har-monized.The harmonization process will result in a consolidated spatial, fi nancial and institutional framework as a sound basis for smooth imple-mentation.”

He encourages community mem-bers to participate in all municipal meetings to make sure that they are part of the planning and implementa-tion processes.

IDP Manager Themba Ncube addresses stakeholders, municipal offi cials and councillors during the IDP meeting.

“Remove all corrupt officials” - SACPThe African National Congress (ANC) must refrain from de-ploying corrupt, incompetent and greedy people in top po-sitions in the municipalities and other public entities as a mater of urgency if they are serious about taking service to the people.

These were some of the words by the secretary of the Alpheus Malivha District of the South Af-rican Communist Party (SACP), Mr Rudzani “Skinjas” Ramu-gumo. He delivered a memorial lecture in honour of the deceased John Marks at the Gwamasenga

Secondary School last Saturday.Ramugumo, a councilor in

the Thulamela Municipality, severely criticized people who join political organizations with the aim of winning government tenders and to gain promotion, saying municipalities were being used as employment bureaus for people who had strong political connections. He reiterated the fact that people should be en-couraged to work and not to wait for grants.

Ramugumo stated that “the ANC is in a critical condition in the intensive care unit, suffering

from serious diseases such as fac-tionalism, tribalism and corrup-tion”. He said that unemployment and poverty would never stop growing until people who were holding senior positions in the municipalities and other public entities ceased to serve their own personal interests and started to have the public interest at heart.

The secretary of the Tsianda branch of the South African Na-tional Civics Organization (San-co), Mr PC Mulaudzi, said that his organization was concerned about the state of roads and the supply of water in the area.

Church news

Spiritual conference at Tsianda churchThe Tsianda Full Gospel Church will be a hive of activity next weekend. The church will hold a spiritual conference from Friday (September 6) to Sunday.

According to the host pastor, TP Ramahala, the theme of the conference is Building the triumphant church.

Some of the speakers who will share the podium include the overseer for the Lebowa Region of the Full Gospel Church, Pastor M Mashakeni, and Pastor MM Hlungwane from Mbokota.

Ramahala further indicated that the conference is open to all Christians, irrespective of the churches they are affiliated to. Adults will be expected to pay a registration fee of R50, while youths and Sunday school children will have to part with R30 and R10 respectively if they want to attend the conference.

He appealed to those who wish to spend the weekend with them to bring along their own bedding and kitchen utensils. Further information relating the conference can be obtained from Pastor Ramahala (0835461015).

Photographed at the event are, from left to right, Messrs Matamba Mamuremi (secretary of the Gwamasenga branch of the SACP), Rudzani Ramugumo (secretary of the Alpheus Malivha District of the SACP), Isaac Mphephu (chairperson of the Gwamasenga branch of the SACP) and PC Mulaudzi (secretary of the Tsianda Sanco).

When a resident of Tshakhuma village, Mrs Masindi Siobo, bought building material from the Tshakhuma branch of VS Hardware about three weeks ago, little did she know that she was paving her way to winning a brand new Blackberry 8520 cellphone to the value of R5 000. When the managing director of the store, Mr Shueb Ahmed, phoned her to tell her that she was the winner of the grand prize, Mrs Siobo thought it was a joke since she has never won anything since she was born. Another customer of the store, Mr Takalani Tshiambara, who also resides at Tshakhuma, was the second-prize winner. He was presented with a Nokia 201 cellphone to the value of R1 500 during a ceremony that was held at the store last Tuesday morning. Mr Ahmed indicated that staging a competition was one of their many ways of giving back to the community. In our photo, Mr Ahmed is flanked by the winners, Mrs Siobo (left) and Mr Tshiambara.


ELTIVILLAS PRIMARY SCHOOL CROWNED CHAMPIONS

AT SPORTS DAY Eltivillas Primary School emerged as the overall win-ner when they were crowned as the champions in cricket, volleyball and chess on Sat-urday at a sports day that was hosted at Eltivillas Pri-mary School.

The participating schools were Eltivillas Primary School, Masindi, Hlalelani and Peta-mukanda Primary School. The schools participated in cricket, volleyball, soccer, netball and

chess. The manager of Tim-bercity Makhado, Mr Mazar Goolam said during the hand-ing-over ceremony, that the store wanted to promote sports amongst young players in order to help them stay off the streets after school hours.

He mentioned that he would rather see the youngsters play-ing sports instead of becoming involved in other, less benefi -cial activities.

He added that they were hap-

py to sponsor different sporting codes to the dedicated and passionate pupils. According to him, the company supports sports and community develop-ment projects. He said that he was impressed by the manner in which the competition had been run.

He indicated that they would continue to sponsor the compe-tition in the coming years. The sponsorship is in appreciation of the unwavering support

which they are getting from the local communities, he said.

The organiser of the sports day, Mr Sampson Mphilo, said that he appreciated what Tim-bercity was doing for sports. He stated that the tournament will be regarded as one of the ma-jor competitions in future. He expressed his appreciation for the cooperation that prevailed throughout the tournament and the manner in which partici-pants had behaved from the

fi rst game.“We would love this tour-

nament to become an annual competition for schools and the sponsorship to be increased to accommodate neighbouring schools in the future,” said Mphilo.

“We salute you and your good helping hand will always be remembered by us,” said Mphilo.

He appealed to people to use the facility properly. Eltivillas

Primary School was crowned as the champions for cricket, volleyball and chess, Petamu-kanda Primary won the soccer and Masindi Primary emerged as the champions in netball.

All the winners received a R4 000 voucher each, medals and a floating trophy from Timbercity.

Other sponsors were: Co-ca-Cola, Rio Supermarket, Kings Bakery, Busy Bee, Premjee & Son and Surat.

Sixteen teams participate in Lodge KO

Makhado “hand case” postponed againSoldiers improve lives of the destitute

The opening matches for the Mutavhatsindi Great Lodge KO competition were played at the Khubvi Peace Makers grounds over the past weekend. Sixteen teams from Khubvi and the surrounding villages are participating in the com-petition.

The 16 teams that are partic-ipating in the lucrative compe-tition are: Khubvi Dangerous Darkies, Lukau Hot Aces, Mu-lodi Freedom Birds, Thengwe Flying Peace, Tshilavulu FC, Maheni Devoted Boys, Mafukani

FC, Tshibvumo Young Stars, Ngwenani Manchester United, Tshilulu Mighty Mangos, Tsh-ilulu Young Tigers, Damani Powerlines, Musasenda Big V, Khubvi Peace Makers, Mudas-wali United Brothers and Mukula Young Santos. Tshilulu Young Tigers were brutally walloped 1-8 by Mulodi Freedom Birds. Tshibvumo Young Stars booked a place in the next stage of the competition by beating Khubvi Peace Makers 7-6. The winner was determined through penalty shootout after a 3-3 full time

score. The results of the other opening matches are: Thengwe Flying Peace 3, Mudaswali Unit-ed Brothers 1; Lukau Hot Aces 6, Mukula Young Santos 5; Khubvi Dangerous Darkies 2, Tshilavulu FC1; Mafukani FC 4, Ngwenani Manchester United 2; Maheni Devoted Boys 2, Damani Powerlines 1 and Musasenda Big V 3 Tshilulu Mighty Mangos 1.

The quarterfi nal matches will be staged at the Phalama grounds tomorrow, while the semifi nal and fi nal will be staged at the same venue on Sunday.

In the case that is now widely referred to as the Hand Case, little to no progress has been seen.

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, her family has indicated this week, has spurred them to take further action.

Family and friends of Manyere, who attended the court case of her alleged murderer on Monday, told the Limpopo Mirror that they could not wait any longer for the courts and the police.

They were planning to go to the Zimbabwean embassy this week to submit their complaint.

Tshikhudo has been accused of Manyere’s murder after his arrest on 5 April at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he allegedly tried to rob a 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 pri-vate parts had been cut off. Her body itself was in an advanced state of decomposition. During his brief court appearance on Monday, several pending cases against him were centralized to the Makhado Magistrate’s Court.

This means that Tshikhudo will eventually stand trial on

two counts of rape, and single counts of murder, housebreak-ing and robbery. In one of the rape charges, the victim laid a charge against Tshikhudo after she had recognised his picture that had appeared in several local newspapers after his arrest. On Monday, the state prosecutor asked for a postponement so that the National Prosecuting Authority’s director can make a decision whether to prosecute Tshikhudo, and if so, when and where he should be prosecuted.

Tshikhudo’s case was post-poned until 11 October. He will remain in custody as he was already denied bail during a pre-vious court appearance.

There is an inspiring message of hope from members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) who are contributing funds from their own pockets to improve the lives of the community members they serve.

Clad in offi cial uniforms, the multi-skilled members were recently photographed building a crèche at Musina Nancefi eld for the children – the majority of whom come from destitute families.

“It is part of our social respon-sibility. Nobody is sponsoring us. We are contributing money from our own salaries to assist those who cannot do anything

urgent assistance. Their one-roomed structure was no longer safe and it could collapse at any time and cause a disaster. We then contributed funds and bought material to build them a bigger and reliable crèche. We hope to complete the building in a few weeks’ time to make sure that the kids move in and enjoy their education safely.”

Rakomane said there were other projects that SANDF members were running locally with contributions from their own pockets. “We have recently distributed school uniforms to indigent kids in Madimbo and Gumbu villages. Our members are also offering free peer coun-

seling courses in the Masisi area. We are also frequently offering food parcels to foreign national shelters around Musina and do plumbing work for them free of charge.” Ms Winnie Mhlari of the Anointed Christian Crèche said she did not have enough words to thank the soldiers for their dedication and contribution towards the development of her institution. “Since we started the crèche in 2007, we have been struggling fi nancially, but we are very happy that our prayers have been answered. More than 40 kids were crammed in our little room, and we are grateful that things will never be the same again.”

for themselves,” said W/O Mogolodi Rako-mane. “The advantage is that the army has multiple skills and we don’t have to go out to look for assistance elsewhere. We are part of these communities and it is our respon-sibility to make sure that we also contribute to their development.”

Rakomane said the Anointed Christian Crèche was identifi ed when members of the SANDF were doing a needs analysis for the local people. “We immediately jumped in after realizing that these people needed

“Ndi ene uyu?” (Is she the one?). This was the reaction from a traditional Venda music maniac, Patrick Tshinwamu-kovho when he saw the new musical kid on the block, Vir-ginia Munyai, for the first time.

Known as Virgi M in music circles, Munyai’s debut album Ndayo has been making headway into the tough music industry since its release two months ago.

The fact that she has featured the legendary singer David Mmbi of Lushie lwo naka fame in the title song Ndayo, makes the album one of the best Venda combinations.

It is selling very well, especial-ly in the Vhembe region of Lim-popo and some parts of Gauteng, like Chiawelo and Mamelodi.

Due to its powerful compo-sition and mature traditional African beat, Ndayo continues to receive continuous airplay on SABC Radio Phalaphala FM and the local community regional

radio stations like Univen FM, Malamulele FM, Makhado FM and Musina FM.

A former backing vocalist for both David Mmbi and Berea Madzonga, Virgi M says she never thought that her debut al-bum would make musical waves from the onset.

“I was just trying my luck and I was surprised that people were receiving my music with excitement. My only challenge is to keep up the standard to make sure that I don’t disappoint my fans in future.”

She says her musical diary is always full as she is booked for gigs both in Venda and Gauteng. “I recently had a very successful show to launch my album at Chi-awelo and I will also be in Preto-ria soon for another show. There are several shows in Venda that I still have to honour, and I will do so despite my tight schedule.”

Born at Mulenzhe village outside Thohoyandou, Virgi M

says she started singing at an early age. “I used to be a lead vocalist at school and my teach-ers encouraged me to take music seriously. I knew my time would come and I continued to sing until I struck a recording deal at Masana Records. And the rest is history…”

Besides the title track, Ndayo, the 13-track album carries thrill-ing songs like Vho-Ngoma (fea-turing Thendo and Shoni), Ta-lutshedzani, Thonifho (featuring T-Man Gavin and Thinga), Nolu-thando, Arali ni tshi mpfuna, Ndi tshi onesa, A ri funane rothe nga shango, Afrika Tshipembe (fea-turing Venda Boy), U tambula zwi a vhavha (featuring Humbu-lani Ramagwedzha), Vuwani ni ditshidze, Swina li a monamona and Mmawe ndi a vha funa.

A 26-year-old woman from Vuvha in the Nzhelele area is still very upset after her money was collected at a Shoprite/Checkers Money Market outlet without her knowledge.

Ms Tshedza Mumsy Mudau deposited R1 200 for her cousin to collect at the nearest Shoprite chain store. “I phoned to inform my cousin that she could go to claim the money for her use, since she wanted to pay her study fees,” said a dejected Mudau.

It seems, however, that thieves made a quick move and collected the money before the cousin on the other side could do so. Mudau reported the matter to the Makhado police station and a case was opened on 19 July. “I was provided with a case number, but I am still waiting for the police to come back to me,” she said. “I am getting frustrated because my cousin dearly needs the money.”

Shoprite’s media li-aison officer, Sarita van Wyk, expressed their empathy for Mudau’s predicament and said that they unfortunate-ly couldn’t be of as-sistance. She said that customers who use the supermarket group’s money transfer service must key in a secret PIN which serves as “key” when funds are trans-ferred. “This secret PIN is then provided by the customer to the intended recipient and it is then used to withdraw the funds at a Shoprite or Checkers store of their choice,” she said.

“Therefore, custom-ers need to be very care-ful that they do not make the number known to anyone other than the

intended recipient. If it is written down somewhere, they need to take care not to drop the note.”

She then advised Mudau to follow up on the matter with the police in Makhado in order for her case to proceed. The spokesperson for the Makha-do police, W/O Takalani Madzhigili, confirmed two weeks ago that the police are investigating Mudau’s case. “We have requested Capitec Bank’s head office in Cape Town to supply us with the re-trieval of the full report concerning the transaction in question,” Madzhigili said. “That report will reveal who actually withdrew the money from the money market, which will then lead the police to arrest the perpetrator.”

Charges against scrapyard owner withdrawn

Magau man in court for robbery and assault

Humbulani Ramasunzi is driver of the year

Charges against a scrapyard owner and three of his em-ployees were withdrawn in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s court a fortnight ago. The four were accused of being in pos-session of seven stolen BMW vehicles and engines with a value estimated to be over a million rands. Their case was apparently withdrawn due to a lack of evidence.

Scrapyard owner Jonas Malada, Waspa Madzhiri (21), Takalani Tshamano (23) and Fulufhelo Malada (28), were arrested in March this year. During the raid, police said the vehicles had been reported stolen in Sandton, Pinetown, Meadowlands, Cape Town Central, Durban Central, as well as Mamelodi East. Police also reported that more than 50

BMW engines were found on Malada’s premises, along with other stripped car parts.

The police also said BMW vehicle doors which were re-ported stolen in Florida, Them-ba and Kroonstad were recov-ered on the premises.

Police arrested his three em-ployees when the business own-er (Malada) was out of town. Malada heard the news on the radio that his scrapyard had been raided and shut down. “I drove back home, where I handed myself to the Makhado SAPS, because I’m the owner of that business,” he told the Limpopo Mirror’s reporter.

“The three were granted bail of R2 000 each during their first appearance and I was given free bail. The court withdrew the case and said there is no evi-

dence that we were using stolen goods. I don’t have a car from Cape Town or Durban. What I do is to buy the smashed BMWs from people and SMD. Now my legal team is busy filing a lawsuit against the police for defamation of character,” said Malada.

Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Hlangwani said the matter had been provisionally withdrawn, pending further police investigations.

“We mean business and let no one be fooled. We are still very busy with the case and once ev-erything has been collected and verified by our investigators, the prosecution team will definitely reinstate the case. We will not be rushed; we want to make sure we build a strong case,” said Mulaudzi.

A 33-year-old man appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Mag-istrate’s Court in connection with a case of robbery and as-sault which allegedly happened at Magau village.

Ndanduleni Ligavha allegedly confronted a 25-year-old male victim when the victim was walk-ing home from visiting his sister on the other part of the village. According to the Tshilwavhusiku

police’s spokesperson, Const Munyadziwa Marindi, the sus-pect asked for some cigarettes from the complainant, who then answered that he had no ciga-rettes in his possesion.

“The suspect then allegedly produced a sword and hit the victim on his left arm,” said Marindi. “The victim was still shocked when the man hit him yet again, so that he fell down.”

Marindi stated that the suspect started searching inside the vic-tim’s pockets and took his mobile phone and R200 cash without the complainant’s consent.

The suspect then left the victim alone, who later reported the matter to the police.

Ligavha was linked to the crime and was consequently arrested and charged.

He is out on R1 500 bail.

Mr Humbulani Ramasunzi emerged as the overall winner of the Vhembe District Driver of the Year competition, which was held at the Makhado test-ing grounds on Saturday.

The drivers compete in six cat-egories: rigid trucks, articulated trucks, light delivery van, rigid with trailer and male and female bus category.

The senior manager for road safety in the province, Mr Zach-aria Mkhabela, said that the main objective of the competition was to revise the driving skills of drivers in the country.

“We test all the drivers on a public road and also inside the testing ground. It’s like when a person is getting tested for a driver’s license,” he said. He acknowledged that they were

pleased to see that the number of participants for this year’s competition had increased dra-matically, especially as more women were also taking part.

“This really shows that people are taking the competition very seriously.”

All participants received cer-tificates. Ms Marry Malisha of Great North Transport obtained the first position in the female bus category, while Ms Tshiman-gadzo Dzegere of Great North Transport finished second and Ms Gail Rikhotso Negogogo, also from Great North Transport, was in third place.

Mr Humbulani Ramasunzi of Great North Transport won the male bus category, Mr James Ramasunzi of Great North Trans-port ended in second position

and Mr Alpheus Mathavhani of Mulaudzi Bus company ended in third position.

The winners of the articulated truck category were Messrs Peter Chauke (1st), Mathews Maemu of Phadziri & Sons (2nd) and Edward Siobo of Water Affairs (3rd).

In the category rigid truck with trailer, the results are: Messrs Morris Khorommbi (1st), Mathakha Ndouvhada (2nd) and Patrick Nemaguvhuni (3rd) and the winners in the category for rigid trucks were Messrs Ndiafhi Mukhuba, Thifhelimbilu Ramaa-no and Calvin Phalandwa.

In the category for light de-livery vans, the medals went to Tshifhiwa Munyai, Livhuwani Thavhanyedza and Seleka Ra-maphala.

Scrapyard owner Jonas Malada wants to sue the Minister of Police.

Godfrey Munzhedzi-N e m u s h u r i w a s sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment for killing a pupil.

A 33-year-old man was sentenced to an effective 17 years in jail for killing a 20-year-old Grade 12 pupil on 18 May 2011.

Godfrey Munzhedzi-Nemushuri appeared in the Hlanganani Regional Court on Tuesday. It was heard in court that Munzhedzi-Nemushuri stabbed and killed Mikateko Ma-thonsi on election day in 2011 at Njhakanjhaka village near Bungeni.

Witnesses testified that the two were seen quarreling in the street before the suspect went ahead and stabbed Mathonsi in the chest. She lat-er died at the Bungeni Health Centre.

The case had dragged on for some time before it could be finalised. One of the reasons for the endless postponements was for the accused to undergo mental observation in order

for the court and prosecution to see if he was fit to stand trial. Another rea-son, though, was when his legal rep-resentative, Adv Maxwell Sikhutshi, recused himself from representing Munzhedzi-Nemushuri. “He'd been rude towards me all along when I told him to instruct me on issues of his bail application,” Adv Sikhutshi had said.

Like in all previous court appear-ances, members of the Young Com-munist League (Mayibuye branch) and Congress of South African Stu-dents (Cosas) came in large numbers to show support for the murdered pupil's family.

“We are relieved that the case, after a full two-year period, has come to an end,” said Bavi Shivuri, chairperson of the Young Communist League.

17 Years in jail for killing pupil (20)

First league matches for NFD teamsThis weekend marks the com-mencement of the National First Division League matches.

Black Leopards will resume their activities for the new season by playing away from home. They will play against Roses United at the Botshabelo Stadium tomorrow afternoon. It will be the first league match for Lidoda Duvha in the lower division after facing the chop from the

Premiership Division at the end of last season.

There will be two Cape Town derbies in the opening NFD League matches. FC Cape Town will take on Milano United, while Santos will face Vasco da Gama.

The other fixtures are Chippa United vs Blackburn Rovers, Witbank Spurs vs Thanda Royal Zulu, Baroka FC vs Sivutsa Stars, African Warriors vs Maluti FET

College and Jomo Cosmos vs United FC.

Thanda Royal still have unfin-ished business with the Premier Soccer League.

They recently referred their case against the league to the FIFA Appeals Board, after fail-ing to convince the arbitrator that they were unfairly denied promotion to the elite league last season.

By Frank Mavhungu

Makovha All Stars beat Tshakhuma KK Revolution 7-6 in the final of the Big Four Soccer Tournament at the Tsianda Gwamasenga grounds on Sunday.

KK Revolution took the game to their opponents from the word go, creating some dan-

All Stars shine bright over Revolution

gerous moves from behind. They were rewarded for their ef-forts in the 19th min-ute. Lindelani “Mon-za” Mbedzi unleashed from the outside the box and the keeper of Stars palmed the ball back into the net while trying to clear.

All Stars retaliated four minutes before the break. Mashudu Muthabeni caught the keeper off guard and beat him with a half volley. Revolu-tion replaced Fhumu-lani Mutshinya with Lucky Raphulu early in the last half. Rev-olution took the lead again through Daka-lo Mashanzhe in the 59th minute. It took the Stars 78 minutes to find the equaliser. Nkateko Khosa beat the offside trap and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

The winner was determined through penalty shootout as the score was 2-2 when the referee blew the final whistle.

Makovha All Stars converted all five their chances through Mu-langa Mudau, Hulisani Vhulayani, Shumani

Munyai, Shumani Ngobeni and Stanley Khuzwayo, while Revolution managed to score four after Dakalo Mashanzhe’s ground cutter was saved.

Makovha All Stars were presented with a cash prize of R 2000 during a ceremony which was held at the grounds

shortly after the final. All the other teams went back home with empty hands as it was a winner-takes-all tournament. Four teams, Tshakhuma KK Revolution, Makovha All Stars, United Artists and Gwamasenga United Brothers, took part in the one-day event.

Rendani Rathumbu of Ravele stops the ball, while Naledzani Makhudzha is alert to intercept the ball.

Madodonga United Stars won the Unity Tournament when they beat Ravele United 6-5 on penalties in the final that was played at the Tshiozwi grounds on Sunday. The score was locked at 2-all at the end of regulation time.

Ravele should have opened their account in the seventh min-ute. Pule Munyumpudi dribbled past two Stars defenders, but the keeper, Nditsheni Musekwa, saved the ball. The team from Kutama should have scored a little later. Sipho Ragimana

shot wide, with only the keeper to beat.

Ravele opened the score when Rendani Galedane received a neat pass from Wisdom Mandi-wana and hit the target. Tshepo Thovhokale increased the margin when he blasted in a loose ball after a scramble within the box to make the score 2-0. United replaced Remember Kutama and Shumani Mahuwa with Calvin Tshivhulawa and Wesley Magodi respectively late in the game. That proved to be a clever move on the part of the United technical

side. John Ravhutsi was brought down inside the penalty area and the referee pointed to the white spot. Livy Rambau made no mistake from the spot.

Tendani Masindi of Ravele was red-carded for a second bookable offence.

Their equaliser came in the 88th minute. Peter Ramaano dribbled past two defenders in a row and passed the ball to the unmarked Livy Rambau, who completed his brace.

The two teams then went to penalty shoot-out.

“Exercise slow down the rate of ageing” - Cllr MilanziDespite her advanced age, 90-year-old Ella Rambau managed to complete the one-kilometer fun walk without any complaints.

“I feel very strong and young. I make sure that I keep my body fit by exercising on a daily basis,” she said while receiving her prize just after the event. The event was organised by Baobab Still Water and Internet Café, Musina FM and the Musina Municipality.

Approximately 40 community members between the ages of 60 and 90 took part in the fun walk, which was meant to en-courage the senior citizens of Musina to live a healthy life.

Mr Shoni Maphaha of Baobab Still Water and Internet Café said it was al-ways his dream to plough back into the community which supports his business. “I then thought that it would be ideal to sponsor our senior citizens because they have played a meaningful role in making us what we are today. I will continue to sponsor them because they are a source of inspiration in our lives.”

The first prize went to Elsie Mageza (62), who took home a gold medal, a certif-icate and R500. Sarah Muravha (66) took

second prize and she went home with a silver medal, a certificate and R300, while the third prize went to Betty Muravha (68), who took home a bronze medal, certificate and R200. All other participants who took part were handed certificates as part of appreciating their efforts.

Before handing out the prizes, Cllr Nkele Milanzi of Musina Municipality en-couraged the elders to keep on exercising as it has many health bene-fits for them. “You are never too old to exercise because it is advantageous to you. Exercise can be a part of your life, no matter what your age, and be-comes only increasing-ly important as you get older. Exercise has sig-nificant improvements in your strength, range of motion, balance, bone density and men-tal clarity. There’s an overwhelming amount of evidence confirming

that physical exercise is a key player in disease reduction, optimal mental, emo-tional and physical health, and longevity. Researchers also found that exercise reduces the risk of health conditions, ranging from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, stroke and depression. Exercise also slows down the rate of ageing itself.”

Ms Ella Rambau (90) receives her certificate after successfully completing the one-kilometer fun walk.

Cllr Nkele Milanzi of Musina Municipality hands over a cash prize to Elsie Mageza (62), who finished first in the one-kilometer fun walk.

Ms Sarah Muravha (66) receives her prize from Cllr Nkele Milanzi, while Mr Shoni Maphaha of Baobab Still Water and Internet Café looks on.




Education

At least three passengers sustained injuries when a minibus in which they were travelling hit a cow along the Madombidzha road near Limpopo Dairy two weeks ago. According to the Limpopo police's corporate communications officer, Const Tsietsi Lamola, a 47-year-old taxi-driver, Mr Ishmael Ndouvhada, allegedly hit a cow on the road at about 18:30. “The driver didn't sustain any injuries during the collision, but three passengers were rushed to the local hospital for medical attention,” said Lamola. The cow involved died at the scene. A man was seen herding cattle off the Makhado-Madombidzha road, with the assistance of a motorist, a short while later. This accident comes only months after the representatives of the Makhado Air Force Base (MAFB) interacted with the Sinthumule traditional council, the community and cattle farmers on the problematic issue of stray animals on the roads.

Top performers at Schuitdrift Combined School display with pride the ties donated to them. They are, from the left, Zwivhuya Chauke (Grade 8), Lucy Mutavhatsindi (Grade7) and Constance Munyai(Grade 9).

Donation of clothes a boost for school

Andeline Buitendag, was welcomed as a blessing to Schuitdrift Combined Schoo l near Tshipise. She also donated ties to the school’s top pupils.

The principal, Mr TJ Litshani, said the uni-forms would mean a lot of encouragement to the learners who are in great need of something to boost their morale.

The SGB, teachers, pupils and the principal expressed their thanks for the wonderful con-

tribution to the pupils. Litshani said the school had an enrolment of 197 from Grade R to 9 and he

invited other Samaritans who could donate uniforms for the remaining pupils.

During the presentation of the awards are, from left to right, Phala Phala FM station manager Freddy Sadiki, Pfarelo Ramadolela (winner), his mother, Ms Flora Ramovha, Rudzani Neluheni Mulaudzi (marketing manager of PhalaPhala FM) and Mr Balcan Ramasindi (principal).

Pfarelo Ramadolela, a Grade 10 pupil at Kutama High, has won the first prize of R30 000 in a Phala Phala FM youth competition.

The official handing over was held at Muduluni last Friday.

"I made it and I am happy that I was able to put my school on the map," a proud Ramad-olela said. "My teachers and parents also encouraged me,” she added.

She believes that a person’s background is not a yardstick to determine one’s future success.

“Most successful individuals started small and, because of hard work, they succeeded beyond expectations,” she said.

Ramadolela donated R20 000 to her school to be used for development.

More than 70 youths partici-pated in the competition. Phala Phala FM’s marketing manager, Ms Rudzani Neluheni Mu-laudzi, said that the competition also aimed to encourage young people to participate and come up with ideas of changing their schools if they win the com-

petition. She urged the youth to stand up and do something for themselves, such as to start self-sustainable developmental projects that will create jobs even for others.

Neluheni encouraged the youth to believe in themselves and be determined that they could make it.

The principal of Kutama high, Mr Balcan Ramasindi, said he was very happy about the girl's achievement. "She has made us proud. This is an honour to the school," he said.

Awards for Western Star’s top achieversThe players of Madombidzha Western Stars who performed the best during the past season were rewarded for their achievements during

a ceremony on Sat-urday.

Stars won Stream E of the Safa Vhembe SAB league.

A former coach of Dynamos, Mr Master Mathoma, encouraged the recipients to work for hard the develop-ment of the country, as they are seen as am-bassadors of the en-tire province. "It is an

undisputable fact that football brings economic spin-offs to people, even outside the football trade. The continued participation of our team therefore contributes to the much-needed economic benefits to our people,” he added.

The managing director of the team, Mr Mashu-du Mulaudzi, applauded those who received the awards, as the team regards them as role models for other younger people.

The players who went home with smiling faces were Thabo Matuba (players’ player of the season), Maanda Magoro (player of the season), Thabo Matuba (top goal scorer), Percy Munonoka (chairman’s award) and Paker Radamba (most improved midfielder). The trophy of best goal went to Lufuno Ndou and the most disciplined player was Dragon Mauda.

The 26-year-old Ramovha, born in Tshirolwe village in Nzhelele, says that he wrote He is more than just a God after he had had a vision from Jesus.

“I was taken to Heaven and witnessed how the world is going to end, and again the consuming fire which will burn everyone who disobeys the law of God,” he says. “I was given instruction to write a book.”

This book has earned him an invitation for a book-signing function in San Antonio, Texas, during the Women of Faith event to be held on 11 and 12 October. The event will give the young Limpopo author an opportunity to interact with the targeted audi-ence of Christian women.

“It offers me a full hour of interaction with the excited at-tendees and signing copies of my book,” beams Ramovha.

He maintains that he penned the first draft of his manuscript in just five months, between Oc-tober 2011 and February 2012. The script was then developed, and was eventually published

this year. It consists of 120 pages, and the sentences and paragraphs are sharp and concise, giving the reader only the message that is necessary.

“This book talks to the soul of a person. It tells you what is wrong and what is right,” he tells. “It's not designed only for Christians; no, it caters for every belief, faith, gender, age and race.”

He is more t h a n j u s t a God is based on the author's personal ex-periences as a young man growing up in Tshirolwe and a s a y o u n g adult, l iving and working in the bustling city of Johan-nesburg. He adds that he has been confront-ed by many dif-ficult situations and that he was able to survive danger zones

only by the grace of God. "As God's children and creation, we must acknowledge his protective arm over us," he says.

The book is available in most book stores in Vhembe and across the country. Ramovha can be contacted at 073 422 0407.

Darkies to face Devoted Boys in Lodge KO

Petamukanda defeat Eltivillas school

Benny’s Care heading to the U/15 fi nals

It remains to be seen whether Khubvi Dangerous Darkies will have the power to overcome Maheni Devoted Boys when they meet in a quarterfinal match for the Mutavhatsindi Great Lodge KO Competi-tion at the Phalama grounds tomorrow.

Dangerous Darkies beat Tshilavulu FC, while Devoted Boys’ way to the last eight stage went via Damani Powerlines, whom they beat 2-1.

The match which is expected to be a crowd puller will be the

Thengwe derby between Mulodi Freedom Birds and Thengwe Flying Peace.

The spirit is high in the camp of Freedom Birds after they had crushed Tshilulu Tiger Boys 8-1. Thengwe Flying Peace beat Mudaswali United Brothers 3-1 to book a place in the top eight stage of the competition.

Musasenda Big V will lock horns with Mafukani FC in what promises to be a thriller. Tshib-vumo Young Stars will test their strength against Lukau Hot Aces later in the afternoon.

Tshibvumo Young Stars were recently crowned the Mulin-davhathu Soccer Challenge champions.

The champions will take home a cheque of R3 000. The run-ners-up will be presented with R2 000. The teams that will be booted out of the competition in the semifi nal stage will each take home a cash prize of R750.

The competition is the brain-child of Messrs Prince Mapholi and Chris Randima, while Mu-tavhatsindi Great Lodge is the main sponsor.

Petamukanda Primary beat Eltivillas 2-0 in the fi nal match of the sports day at Eltivillas on Saturday.

The victory did not refl ect the match in general, as Eltivillas outsmarted the visitors from the onset. Petamukanda were lucky

Benny’s Care Academy aims to bring home another trophy when they participate in the Copa Coca-Cola U/15 pro-vincial fi nal at the Jane Furse Stadium tomorrow (Saturday).

The coach of Benny’s, Mr Justice Matloga, said that he was happy with the way the team was gelling. “The boys are doing their best and we have a good under-standing.” Matloga said their aim was to use the tournament

as a stepping stone to the national championship. “Apart from the fact that there is a lot at stake in the competition, it is time for us to fulfi l our promises,” he added.

The competition is about pride and honour, he said. “This is the third consecutive year that we have made it to the provincial fi nals. We are proud of it and we want to keep the tradition going.” Matloga stated that they had a squad that had all the ingredients

for winning the championship.He said that the players were

highly motivated after they had played well in the friendly match-es last week. They are aware of the fact that other teams are in top form of late and that they have left no stone unturned in their preparations for the match, the coach added.

He said that he regarded other teams as close books, since they did not know any of their players.

School soccer

“Barefoot Warriors” are the champs A soccer team from Mtlobomi Combined School, playing barefoot, won the U/14 Mc-Donalds-Sasfa schools tourna-ment at the Nirvana Stadium in Polokwane last Saturday afternoon.

The school from the Mopane district downed their opponents from the Vhembe region 4-3 on penalties on a dusty Nirvana pitch. This after the game ended deadlocked at a goal apiece.

Mtlobomi, who were dubbed the ‘barefoot warriors’ due to the fact that most of their start-ing 11 played without soccer boots, qualified for the final after ending on top of group B, while their opponents, Wisdom, topped group A to book their place in the showpiece event.

Sasfa Limpopo deputy chair-person Talane Mathabathe expressed the importance of a tournament like the one or-ganised by McDonalds. “In Limpopo, we make it our goal to

identify young talent, and so we would like to thank McDonalds for entering into an agreement to sponsor this type of tournament. It is in tournaments like these where we identify and devel-op future professionals,” said Mathabathe.

“We want all community members to get behind tour-naments like these since they not only expose players’ skills on the pitch, but also inspire them and remove them from the streets.”

Mtlobomi coach Masilo Phil-lip Malematja couldn’t contain his excitement at winning the tournament for the fi rst time. “It means so much for our school to have won this tournament. This was the fi rst time that Mtlobomi participated in the provisional fi nal and we won it. It is so won-derful for the kids and they are very happy,” said Malematja. “Tournaments like these take our children off the streets and

give them some happiness and inspire them. Who knows now what will happen in the big fi nal? I’m just so happy that we won this tournament, I don’t know what to say.”

Malematja explained that most of the kids have boots to play in, but choose to play barefoot “because they are from a rural area where they are used to playing barefoot, and they feel comfortable playing like that and have taken us this far,” he said.

With the victory, Mtlobomi booked their place in the na-tional fi nals, which will be held at the Sinaba Stadium in Dav-eyton on the weekend of 19-21 September.

Makuya Matswake was named the player of the tour-nament, while Steven Kampa - who notably stopped two penalties - scooped the goal-keeper of the tournament award. -BackpageTxt

not to concede half a dozen goals during the fi rst half as they were out of touch in all de-partments.

Eltivillas missed two clear chances in the fi rst 20 minutes. First-ly, Phindulo Tshivhase shot wide from close range after receiving a neat pass from Tony Nthanfeni in the 22nd minute. As if that was not enough to stir up the fans, Thendo Ram-utshila caused another upset three minutes lat-er. Instead of relaxing on the ball and trying other possible ways, Ramutshila chose to release aimlessly from outside the box, much to the disappointment of the team’s supporters.

Petamukanda fi nally broke the deadlock in

the 34th minute. It was their left fl ank, Atonia Tshiredo, who made things happen. His long-range ground cutter left the op-ponents’ keeper, Sello Moraka, fl at-footed. The Eltivillas team lost cohesion and Petamukanda capitalised. Aluwani Matshivha

scored their second goal three minutes before the half-time whistle. Both sides effected two chan ges in the last half.

The replacements worked against the hosts as they played the last stanza with their backs against the wall.
