Possible solutions for Makhado’s water crisisThe Makhado Municipality envisages some possible solutions to address the water crisis in the Makhado Municipal area.

Besides drilling six new boreholes in Makhado town, some other strategies were mentioned by the acting municipal manager, Mr Elias Mugari.

* A service provider will be appointed before the end of August to do the refurbishment of the existing bulk water pipeline from the Albasini water works to Mowkop reservoir. “This will cut down the frequency of the bursts along the bulk pipeline,” Mugari stated.

* A tender for the construction of a 29.7km bulk pipeline (of 800mm diameter) from Valdezia to Mowkop has once again been advertised.

* The construction of the Nandoni bulk water pipeline to Valdezia is envisaged to be completed by April 2013. “This will result in a permanent solution to our water supply in town and sur-rounding areas,” Mugari stated.

* The construction of a 12-megalitre reservoir is underway in Makhado Town.

In addition to the above, Mugari said that the “turnaround time for addressing water leaks had been shortened” and that water trucks are some-times used at spots where acute water shortages are experienced.

“We are hopeful that all the above strategies will assist towards resolving the existing water-shortage challenges in Makhado town and sur-rounding areas,” Mugari stated.

All the aforementioned strategies were stated in a letter to the attorneys of AfriForum, a con-stitutional rights organisation threatening with a court interdict to force the municipality to comply with the basic requirements in respect of water supply.

Well-known local staff member of the Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) Mr Bene-dict Moila is to lead a pilgrimage of 25 members of the Catholic Church to the Holy Land.

The pilgrimage will last from 30 Au-gust to 8 September and will follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ through various

centres. They will visit Nazareth, Bethle-hem, Jerusalem, the river Jordan and the Dead Sea.

Moila is one of the original members of the local JRS offi ce, which was established in 2008 and has since rendered valuable services to hundreds of destitute foreigners streaming across the borders from neigh-bouring and other African states. The JRS

is an international organisation established by the Roman Catholic Church to meet the needs of refugees worldwide. It is active in 50 countries and provides assistance to more than 700 000 individuals. Its projects are overseen by 10 regional offi ces.

At the moment, it also plays a vital role in caring for displaced residents in strife-torn Syria.

Benedict Moila to lead pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Death of pupil leads to chaos and mayhem at Tswinga Village

Mr Benedict Moila of the JRS in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

The situation remained tense at Tswinga over the weekend, after the burial of a pupil suspected to have been ritually murdered in the village.

Angry mourners returning from the funeral at Tswinga on Saturday took to the streets and left a trail of destruction in their wake. Avhashoni Mbedzi (18), a Grade 11 pupil at Mu-vhavha Secondary School, was found dead hanging at some nearby bushes, not far from his home, after having been missing for six days. After the body was found by a herder, rumours started doing the rounds in the village, with members of the community al-leging that he was ritually murdered.

Community members started pointing fingers at a local businessman and a traditional healer, whom they blamed for the boy’s death.

The boy was buried, to-gether with two other people, in the village on Saturday. Signs of tension showed towards the end of the fu-nerals, when a pastor was stopped halfway through

her sermon by angry members of the community.

Roads were blockaded with big stones and burning tyres, and the po-lice had their hands full to contain the crowds. Groups then went after dif-ferent targets and, after a runaround with the police, two houses and a spaza shop were completely gutted by fi re. An RDP house belonging to a traditional healer was also attacked.

Meanwhile, the local traditional leader, Chief Mmban giseni Tshishon-ga, called for calm and urged residents to cooperate with the police. “We are not happy about the prevailing situa-tion in the village and as leaders we

cannot just sit down as our village is burning. We will talk with all the structures in the village fi rst and look into this problem,” he added.

Thohoyandou police spokesperson Maj Mashudu Malelo said they had opened an inquest docket, following the death of the boy. “After learning of the situation in the village, we dispatched our members to the area. We are busy patrolling the area and the situation is now under control,” he added.

According to Malelo, the police have arrested 19 people in connec-tion with public violence. He said three people, including two police

offi cers, were injured dur-ing the upheaval. Two

police vehicles had their windscreens damaged during incidents of stone throwing. Those arrested appeared in court and their case was postponed to 30 August. Two of the arrested are minors who have been released into the custody of their parents.

Malelo urged those with informa-tion to please come to the fore and as-sist the police in their investigations. “We cannot rely on rumours. We need evidence that can be used in court, but we still urge those with information to come to us, so that it can assist us in our investigation,” he said.

He added that they are still awaiting the post mortem results of Avhasho-ni Mbedzi, which will also direct their investigations. Meanwhile, on

Monday, a group of pupils marched to the local police station, demanding the re-lease of their fellow pupils who were arrested during the weekend. They made it clear that they would not go back to class before the pupils were released. - (See the photographs on page 1).Another burnt property belonging to one of the alleged suspects.

The shack where Ms Jayela Mathebula burnt to death.

By Victor Hlungwane

Xithlelani granny (72) burns to deathA granny of Xithlelani village outside Malamulele was burnt to death in her shack early on Sunday morning.

Ms Jayela Mathebula (72), was found by her neighbour, Ms Thandi Maluleleke, shortly after midnight after she had noticed a fire. Mathebula was staying alone in the shack.

She recently moved from her

RDP house to the shack after the RDP house she had received in 2000 nearly collapsed on her. It also leaked during the rainy season.

According to Maluleke, she noticed the fire and she notified other neighbours to come and assist the granny. “We tried to reach to the shack in time, but the door of the shack was already

on fire. Another problem is that the whole village is without water, which made it difficult to extinguish the fire,” said Malulele

A relative, Ms Maria Bila, said that they suspected the fire was caused by a candle.

"Thieves have stolen the elec-tric cables, so her only option was to use a candle the whole

night to scare a large number of rats that were terrorising her,” said Bila.

Khazamula Mik-wambani accused the local municipality of failing to provide them with water. “If we'd had water, we could have assisted the granny. We tried to extinguish the fire with soil, but it was unsuccessful,” said Mingwabani.

Al l Mathebula’s belongings were de-stroyed by the fire and all the inhabitants of the village were shocked about the incident.

The spokesperson for the police at Mal-amulele, Insp Mapidani Chauke, said that the police had opened an inquest docket.

“The cause of the fire is not known at this stage, but we are still investigating the matter,” Chauke said.

R10 000 bail for Adv Matlou “Let us emulate the women of 1956” - Cllr MahosiThe Sibasa Regional Court grant-ed bail of R10 000 to advocate Erick Matlou on 20 August. The 47-year-old advocate was arrested on 17 August after he had alleg-edly defrauded a local business-man of about R215 000.

Matlou, who owns a law firm, al-legedly promised the businessman two stands, the value of which he said were R500 000. The business-man is said to have paid R215 000 as a deposit for the stands. The com-plainant in the case alleges that he became suspicious and investigated the land which was supposed to be his, whereafter he established that the land was not for sale.

Matlou was arrested by the Hawks in Limpopo.

According to the provincial spokesperson for the SAPS, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, more fraud cases are likely to be added because the initial investigations revealed that there are more complainants, especially from the Indian commu-nity. The police are also appealing to anyone who might have experienced problems in dealings with Matlou to come forward.

The advocate’s bail conditions in-clude that he must not interfere in the investigation or make contact with witnesses. Matlou will appear in court again on 25 September 2012.

Mphephu SAPS and residents join handsThe police in Mphephu have declared war against crime in the Dzanani area. This follows an increase in housebreakings in the area.

In a war-against-crime cam-paign held at the Dzanani Police Station a fortnight ago, members of the police pleaded with the community to maintain a work-ing relationship with them to eradicate this rapidly growing crime in the area.

The station commander, Col Mashudu Mavhandu, urged community members, espe-cially the youth, to watch out for criminals in the sector and to help the police to identify criminals.

The event was attended by various stakeholders, including traditional leaders, members of the civic and members of the police from the provincial commissioner’s office. During

the meeting, several residents blamed the police for not doing enough.

The spokesperson, W/O Net-shidzati, also confirmed that the house of a well-known gospel musician, Teboge “Trica” Sela-la, had been robbed at Matanda Village.

Unknown suspects stole a printer and amplifier and spea kers to the value of about R3 500.Adv Erick Matlou is led to the cells.

down” syndrome.Mahosi also urged

women to follow in the footsteps of their 1956 predecessors when she addressed women dur-ing a celebration held at the University of Venda.

The event was part of the Women’s Month celebrations and took place last Thursday.

Mahosi said women of today should emu-late the spirit of their predecessors, who de-fied all class segrega-tion and marched to the Union Buildings united and disciplined against the unjust laws of the country. “These women did not have phones like we do today; they did not have the big cars we have today, but succeeded in what they believed in,’’ she said.

She said women’s challenges were the same, irrespective of social classes.

“We have a responsi-bility to make sure that what our predecessors fought for was not in vain,” she added. Maho-si said a large number of women were still living in a society where they

were regarded as inferior, which was not the case. “This is all still in the mindset and the sooner it is changed the better,” she added.

According to her, it is encouraging that women are now beginning to take their respectful positions in the corporate world and in society.

Happy women hold cakes which they shared. With them is the mayor of Thulamela, Cllr Grace Mahosi (third from left).

Mulaudzi case postponedA man appeared in the Tshilwa-vhusiku Regional Court last week, in connection with a murder that occurred on 2 June at Madodonga village.

The case against Donald Mulaudzi-Masidwali was postponed to 25 Octo-ber for trial. Mr Mulaudzi-Masidwali is accused of stabbing the 23-year-old Mr Jim Simango of Madodonga vil-lage to death.

According to a police statement, Simango was stabbed below the left

breast with a knife and bled profusely. He was left lying on his back in the street, while the accused allegedly ran away.

The deceased’s brother, Mr John Sithole, alerted the police and further informed them that the deceased was allegedly killed by Donald Masid-wali. The motive of the murder is not known yet.

Mulaudzi-Masidwali remains in custody for another sentence he is serving.

August 2012 is a month with two full moons and is commonly referred to as a Blue Moon month.

Blue in name only and not in colour, as a blue moon is usually defined as the second full moon in one calendar month. The first full moon of the month was on 1 August and the second will be on 31 August.

Of course there are historical ex-amples of the moon actually turning blue. It appeared blue in the sky when

the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded in 1883. The dust turned sunsets green and the moon blue all around the world for the best part of two years. In 1927, the Indian monsoons were late in arriving and the extra-long dry season also blew up enough dust for a blue moon. By the mid-19th century, it was clear that visibly blue moons, though rare, did happen from time to time, hence the phrase: “Once in a blue moon.” It

meant then exactly what it means today - a fairly in-frequent event, not quite regular enough to pinpoint.

The other definition of a blue moon states that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Seasons are broken down into four of three months, starting from one winter solstice to the next.

This, in turn, is referred to as a tropical year, with each year consisting of 12 full moons, three each in winter, spring, summer, and autumn, and each is named for an activity appropriate to the time of year (such as the harvest moon in autumn). Occasionally, however, a tropical year contains 13 full moons. By identifying the extra, 13th moon as a blue moon, the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track.

Using the definition of two full moons in a cal-endar month, one sees that, over the next 20 years, there will be 15 blue moons, none occurring in February, which is shorter than a lunar cycle. No blue moon of any kind will occur in the years 2014 and 2017. The most recent case of this phenomenon last occurred on 31 December 2009. The date also commemorated the end of IYA 2009 (International Year of Astronomy) and the Soutpansberg As-tronomy Club and Limpopo Astronomy Outreach set up an astronomy display with telescopes at the Makhado Crossing, Louis Trichardt, to witness the last sunset of the year, as well as the last moonrise, which coincided with a blue moon as well as a partial eclipse.

Triplets’ mom pleads for helpEvery family is sup-posed to be happy when a new baby is born and regard the child as a gift from God. It becomes a night mare, however, when both mother and father are unem-ployed.

Ms Rina Mukatuni (22) from Miluwani village near Thohoy-andou was blessed with triplets, when she gave birth to one girl and two boys at Tshilidzini Hospital on 9 July.

The babies are Tshi-lidzi (girl), Rotondwa (boy) and Rotshidzwa (boy), but the mother is worried that since neither she nor her husband Nndweleni Maitakhole (33) is employed, the chil-dren are facing a bleak future.

“I was a student at Vhembe FET in Makwarela when I fell pregnant, but I cannot return to the college. Who is sup-posed to take care of my babies? I have ap-plied for a govern-

ment grant, but they have not yet processed my application,” the young mother said.

She said that they had also informed the Vhembe District Municipality of their situation, but the mu-nicipality recently in-formed them that the district did not have funds.

“My plea to the me-dia is to ask if some Good Samaritan can help us. We are stay-ing with my husband’s father, who has 11 people to take care of and we have added another burden,” she added.

People wishing to assist the family can phone Rina at 072 9831 219 or the ba-bies’ father, Nndwele-ni at 072 5217 239.

Madaheni’s pupils treated for possible food poisoningTwenty-eight pupils of Madaheni Combined School were treated at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital last Friday for suspected food poisoning.

Some of the affected pupils said the problem started shortly after they had eaten vetkoek they bought from vendors outside the school premises. They said that they were vomiting, suffered from severe headaches, stomach pains and diarrhoea.

One of the pupils, Beauty Ramovha, a Grade 7 pupil, said that most of them had developed diarrhoea. “Our stomachs were so painful that it was unbearable. Things became worse when we went back to class after break and everyone was complaining about stomach pains and diarrhoea.”

The emergency services were called and they were taken to the Tshikwarani Clinic and later transferred to the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hos-pital for treatment. “I thought I was going to die. I cannot understand why it happened this way, but someone will have to account for it. Although we received some treatment, we still suffer,” said Ramovha. The spokesperson for the Louis Trich-ardt Memorial Hospital, Mr Kutelani Sigidi, said that a high-level investigation about the incident

Man jailed for burning niece’s private parts

Vhembe artists demonstrate against piracy

A 53-year-old resident from Chivi village outside Beit Bridge burnt his four-year-old niece’s private parts with a burning log as punishment for eating his share of meat.

Solomon Mudhombo ap-peared in court on Friday on assault charges. He was slapped with an effective four-month jail term after he was found guilty of assaulting the minor by Magis-trate Francis Mapfumo.

Mudhombo was initially sen-tenced to 10 months in prison, but five months were suspended on condition of good behaviour. Another month was also sus-

pended on the grounds that he is not in good health. It was testified that in July this year, Mudhombo beat the four-year-old girl after accusing her of eating meat that had been reserved for him by his wife. The victim had been served rice with soup as Mudhombo’s wife asserted that meat was the preserve of the elderly. He assaulted the girl, his brother’s daughter, with a stick all over her body, resulting in her head, legs and body becoming swollen.

The court further heard that the minor’s biological father left her in the custody of Mudhombo while he went to South Africa to

look for a job.On another occasion, Mud-

hombo assaulted the little girl with a stick, knocked her head against the wall and burnt her private parts with a log. The minor sustained a swollen fore-head, sores on the head and mouth and burns on her genitals. Mudhombo is also said to have assaulted the minor badly after she had soiled his blankets.

In his ruling, the magistrate said Mudhombo deserved a cus-todial sentence, because the mi-nor had sustained serious injuries that could be permanent, as was described by a doctor’s report.

Musicians in Vhembe have giv-en the Department of Justice 14 days to act on their demands, including the investigation of a prosecutor who had withdrawn a case of assault by alleged pirates, who had allegedly as-saulted the Tshivenda musician Tendani Nephawe, popularly known as Mutendas.

Mutendas was assaulted by pi-rates, who are known as AmaTen Ten in Thohoyandou, a fortnight ago. This led to an uproar in the music industry and hundreds of practitioners in the entertainment industry in Vhembe took to the streets.

They were armed with an as-sortment of musical instruments and placards. The marchers beat drums and sang freedom songs from the bus rank, through the streets to the Magistrate’s Court,

where they handed over the memorandum.

In the memorandum submitted last Wednes-day, the musicians de-manded that the case involving the assault on Nephawe be reopened and investigated. “We demand that your pros-ecutor, Paul Muruba, who has withdrawn the case involving the assault on Nephawe, be investigated as well as other withdrawn pi-racy cases,” reads the memorandum.

According to the memorandum, the mu-sician “also demand strict prosecution and conviction of illegal and unlawful music pirates.”

Veteran musician Roxley The Bishop Masevhe said piracy had left many musicians poor. “Some musician have died and were buried as paupers because of piracy,” said Masevhe. He said there was a high level of unwillingness from the justice system to assist artists in their fight against pirates. “We have noted with concern that safety and security do their work, but the justice department allows culprits to walk scotfree,” said Masevhe.

They allege that some prosecu-tors might be receiving bribes, which leads them to withdraw cases involving the sale of pi-rated music in Thohoyandou.

Upon receiving the memoran-dum, senior prosecutor Mr Brian Pels said the department would look at their demands.

He said the cases they had highlighted had been brought to his attention. “I met some of the musicians last week and I ex-plained to them the procedure. I can now assure you that we have referred back those cases to the police for reinvestigation,” he said, much to the delight of the marchers.

From there, the marchers left peacefully after it was agreed that a mass meeting involving all artists is to be convened ur-gently to look at the plight of the musicians.

It was also indicated that the Thulamela Municipality was unwilling to work with the art-ists. The municipality now bars musicians from promoting their music in town, while their music is being sold on street corners by the pirates.

A young man, who was emotionally challenged at home by the death of his parents, says that he has gained a lot from a youth camp organised by his church, the Revival Worship Centre. “Because of the camp, I was able to pick up the pieces and was able to conceive the book, which will benefit all people in my position,” said Thomas Magosha at the launch of his debut book, titled The best is in you. “After praying at the camp, I was able to talk to myself and later came to discover the real Thomas Magosha, who is a champion,” said Magosha. The camp enabled Magosha to defy the odds and complete his media studies at the University of Venda. Present during the book launch were, from left to right, Pastor Tshanduko Makungo, Thomas Magosha, publisher Edzani Tshikovhi and Dr Ntavhanyeni Phaswana, who purchased the first copy of the book.


“Women should join the fight against crime”The Makhado Correction-al Services commemorated Woman’s Month in style dur-ing an event at the Makhado lapa a fortnight ago.

Ms Tshimangadzo Mabasa, a social worker at Correctional Services, says that the event forms part of celebrating the em-ployees’ wellness programme and the empowerment of women in her section.

“This is a starting point. We are just trying to do big things in a small way,” she added. “This will help women to refrain from playing cards and fighting with

each other. Together, we can reduce crime.”

Ms Livhuwani Mafenya, se-nior manager of the Mopani district of the Department of Education, said women were also taking part in domestic vio-lence. “Abused woman are also assisting their abusers in abusing them because they depend on the abusers. Woman must be independent,” said Mafenya. She added that women must start developing themselves and take part in business.

“Self-reliance is very impor-tant. When a man realises that

you depend on him, he eventu-ally does whatever he wants,” she added.

Mafenya said that while the government was taking the lead in deploying women in senior and strategic positions, other women were still choosing to be trapped in “sexual harassment for job opportunities”.

She urged women to use their voices in blowing the whistle about any form of women and child abuse. Women were play-ing meaningful roles in making a difference in their respective communities, she said.

Photographed at the event are, from left to right, Mesdames Verah Manenzhe, Tshimanagadzo Mabasa, Livhuwani Mafenya (guest speaker) and Shadi Nenyani.

Mayor Matibe donates furniture to schoolVhembe Executive Mayor Cllr Tshitereke Matibe has donated 100 chairs and R35 000 to William Themeli Secondary School.

The donation was handed to the school about two weeks ago, and came after the burning down of a classroom and the library early this month. According to Cllr Tshifhiwa Dali, Chief Whip of the Vhembe District Municipality, the school was torched in the early hours of 1 August. Ac-cording to the informa-tion provided by the school management, the torching of the school happened after 20 of the 52 matriculants were not granted permission to go on a career guidance trip to Polokwane.

Dali said the manage-ment could not grant the pupils permission due to the short notice they received about the trip. The pupils were not happy to be told that the trip could not happen, unless it was applied for through the department 30 days in advance. However, their trip was applied for seven days before it was due to start.

Pupils staged protest marches and blocked the entrance to the school as a way of expressing

their anger. A classroom and the library

were burnt to ashes on the Sunday after the trip was taken. The dam-age caused by the fire is estimated at about R65 000, excluding the books and furniture.

The community, led by Khosi Vho-Ratshinyiwa Themeli, has contributed R30 000 for the reno-vation of school the and Themeli donated R3 000.

During the official handing over of the chairs, Matibe en-couraged the pupils to study hard. He also announced that he was adopting the school and he will also make sure that everything that is needed for the benefit of learners will be provided. The mayor also pledged that a pho-tocopier would be delivered to the school after he learnt that the school did not have one.

Both were selected for the provincial team, consisting of five members, who will compete in the nationals in Cape Town on 6 October. With them is the organiser and teacher, Ms Annemie Grobler.

Six boreholes to help alleviate water crisisBroken leg costs municipality half a million

Women to meet

Six new boreholes have been drilled by the Makhado Mu-nicipality in an effort to allevi-ate Makhado’s (Louis Trich-ardt) on-going water crisis.

The Vhembe District Munici-pality (VDM), the water author-ity for the area, described the new boreholes as “an interven-tion to improve water services in Makhado Town.”

The water service provider, namely the Makhado Munici-pality, said that it was too early to say how the new boreholes would improve the water situ-ation. “This can only be con-firmed after the tests. We are hopeful that the boreholes will relieve the pressure for water in town,” said Makhado com-munication officer Mr Peter Muthambi.

The borehole inside the mu-nicipal lapa’s premises, across from Bridge Motors, has a blow

yield of 30 litres per second. The blow yield gives an indication of the rate at which ground-water can be extracted from a borehole.

At the municipal caravan park, another new borehole has a blow yield of 20 litres per second. The one at the corner of Krogh and Jeppe Street has a blow yield of 13 litres per second and the borehole in Pretorius Street has one of 0.831 litres per second.

“At the borehole on the cor-ner of Ruh and President Street, blow yield tests could not be conducted because there is a lot of water. At the borehole on the corner of De la Rey and President Steyn Street, visual inspection shows that there is a lot of water. However, odexing (a borehole casing system) still needs to be done because the soil there is too loose,” said

Muthambi. Three contractors were appointed to provide the services and each drilled two boreholes.

Muthambi said that a service provider would be appointed before the end of the week to conduct yield tests and water quality tests that will determine whether the water is fit for hu-man consumption.

“None of the boreholes is near a sewage spillage,” Muth-ambi said. He added that the water from the boreholes would initially be pumped directly into the water supply system. DA councillor Brian du Plooy confirmed this, saying that, at the moment, most of the water in the different areas was be-ing pumped directly into the reticulation system because the reservoirs did not fill up fast enough.

The High Court in Pretoria made a settlement agreement an Order of the Court last Tuesday, in terms whereof the Makhado Municipality has to pay a claimant R300 000 plus taxed costs plus the costs of two orthopaedic surgeons, who were called to testify at the insistence of the municipality. The municipality also has to pay its own legal team, all of which could add up to more than R500 000.

The claim stems from injuries that Ms Tefu, a former candidate attorney with the State Attorney’s office, sustained whilst jogging with a friend in Cronjé Street in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) in March 2009. Whilst jogging, she and her friend decided to sprint. It was almost dark and the street lights weren’t working. As they started to sprint, a dog barked and Ms Tefu took evasive ac-tion to the middle of the road.

The Women of Destiny Ministries invites all women to an event which concludes Women’s Month (August).

The event will take place on 1 September, start-ing at 11:00. The venue is the Madodonga Happy Hearts grounds and the event will finish at 16:30.

There will be a peaceful march, where women will pray to God for all killings and all kinds of crime to come to an end. Women will also show-case their talents and cultural knowledge.

For more information, phone Mrs Violet Liremi at 084 470 6307. Six new boreholes have been drilled by the Makhado Municipality in an effort to address the

shortage of water in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). On 13 August, this drill was seen in the open space on the corner of Ruh and President Street.

She stepped into a pothole that she couldn’t see and fell down, breaking her leg just below the knee. She was treated by an orthopaedic surgeon of Polok-wane and spent six weeks with her leg in plaster, plus a further two weeks in a brace. The local municipality denied all liability, arguing that the incident had never taken place, that there had been no pothole and that Ms Tefu had not broken her leg. They went so far as to state that they did not even have the duty to maintain the streets.

According to Ms Tefu’s attor-ney, Dr Suwil Rudolph from Van Heerden & Rudolph attorneys, the municipality was invited on several occasions to discuss and settle the claim. The municipal-ity, through its lawyers, refused point blank. Ms Tefu was sent to Dr Prins (another orthopaedic surgeon) for a medical legal report. The medical reports were

disclosed to the municipal-ity, as well as summaries of the expert evi-dence to be led.

The munici-pality failed to respond to any of the reports or to insist on the examina-t i o n o f M s Tefu by their own medical experts. This being the case,

Dr Rudolph addressed two letters to the municipality’s legal repre-sentatives, inviting them to admit the medical reports in order not to call the experts to court and, in so doing, to save thousands of rands in costs. Despite the invitation and not producing its own medi-cal report(s) to contradict that of the plaintiff, the municipality insisted that the experts be called. Dr Rudolph reluctantly had to subpoena both doctors to court, at high cost.

On the day of hearing, counsel for the plaintiff Adv J K Wessels indicated that he was ready to proceed with trial as all his wit-nesses were present. Counsel for the municipality also indicated his readiness and the case was allocated to Judge Cynthia Pre-torius for hearing. Just after the counsellors had introduced them-selves to the judge, counsel for the municipality indicated that he wanted to discuss a settlement. This came as a surprise at that late stage, in view of the municipal-ity’s refusal to settle earlier in the process and its insistence that the plaintiff’s experts be present in court. “In so doing, the mu-nicipality did nothing other than to waste thousands of rands of the taxpayers’ money. Had the matter been settled earlier, most of the legal and medical costs could have been saved,” said Dr Rudolph.

The municipality now has until 21 September to pay the capital amount and has to pay the legal costs after taxation.

BUCO is about totake over Limpopo.

The Builders Market stores in the Limpopo

province will now be known as BUCO. The stores

are in Lephalale, Burgersfort, Shayandima, Giyani,

Jane Furse, Embalenhle, with two stores in Polokwane.

The flagship store is in Sapphire street and the second

Polokwane store is conveniently located in Rissik

street across the road from the taxi rank.

BUCO stores primarily service contractors, but also

offer a wide variety of DIY products. Iliad has done

extensive groundwork, investing substantially to create

customer-friendly stores, each one able to meet every

builder’s needs. The Limpopo stores are uniquely

specialised and geared towards servicing the province’s

rural areas, offering products such as solar geysers at

highly competitive prices.

What’s more, BUCO is driven by the promise that

every customer receives the personal attention that

they deserve as the stores offer a wide variety of

expertise, including project management and advice

on local building conditions. They’ll even help you with

quantity calculations, project administration, plus give

advice on the correct applications of supplied products,

electrical wholesale counters in certain stores such

as the Polokwane Sapphire street, and much more,

therefore living up to their slogan – “We know building

materials. Now we want to know you better.”

Iliad CEO, Eugene Beneke, put it perfectly when he

said “BUCO will provide consistency in our customer

experience. The brand harnesses our current strengths

and is built around entrepreneurship, authenticity and

collaboration.”

The Limpopo launch is on the 31st of August and

forms part of a national rollout plan that has already

produced successful BUCO rollouts in Mpumalanga,

Freestate, Northen Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern

Cape. With all the planning and revamping, BUCO is

ready to build Limpopo.

All the Limpopo stores have been revamped.

Another store being revamped.

Girl (14) abducted in Musina Nancefield

Man (24) gets 15 years in jail for rape

The SAPS at Musina arrested a 30-year-old Nancefield resident and charged him with abduc-tion, after he was found with a 14-year-old girl in his home a fortnight ago (18 August).

It is alleged that the suspect

had sent another minor girl to go and call the victim at her home in the late afternoon, with the pur-pose of abducting her. The man then held the girl for hours in his house, but the girl’s family were alerted about the man’s deed,

so they called the police, who then went to arrest the suspect at his home. The spokesperson for the Musina Police, Lt Teacher Mudau, said that the man was arrested and charged with ab-duction.

The Tshilwavhusiku Regional Court sentenced a 24-year-old man to an effective 15 years in jail, after he had raped a 15-year-old girl at Madombidzha village.

Mpfuni Thonga was sentenced on Thursday last week, following an incident on 27 September 2008 in the village. Together with his already sentenced co-accused, Ambani Radzuma (22), the accused raped the girl inside a kiosk shack in the vicinity of Tshikwarani Senior Primary School.

During the trial, it was testified that Thonga and Radzuma, with other two friends, were on their way that night from a party in Zone 2, heading to Zone 1, when they met the girl. Thonga and Radzuma grabbed the girl, but the other two friends rebuked them, saying that they should leave the victim alone because she knew who they were. However, the two insisted on taking her with them, so they changed direction and commanded the girl to walk with them until they reached a place where there were many mufula trees and kiosk shacks.

Here, they threatened her with a knife and took turns raping her.

Thonga pleaded guilty to the charge of rape. Meanwhile, Radzuma had pleaded guilty during an earlier appearance and was sentenced to an effective 10-year jail term on 19 April (Limpopo Mirror, 27 April).

It was heard in court that the DNA samples taken from the victim matched those of Thonga. When Radzuma was sentenced after his trial, the

Sentenced: Mpfuni Thonga.

court heard that Radzuma’s DNA samples matched those taken from the victim. However, on Thurs-day, Thonga’s legal representative, Adv Sikhwari, argued that since the complainant’s testimony and that given by the first state witness, Radzuma, differed in some respects, it would be logical that Thonga be given a lenient sentence. He felt the court had to deviate from a maximum sentence of life imprisonment to a minimum prison term, which the court eventually did.

Thonga was visibly relieved and all smiles when he walked out of the dock into the cells. The court had declared him unfit to possess a firearm and his name was entered into the national register of sexual offenders.

Capt Danelle Fourie of the Makhado Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) expressed her satisfaction with the outcome of the case. “We are happy that the law has taken its course,” said Fourie.

Accused and witness: Ambani Radzuma.

Rev (Dr) Ntavhanyeni Phas-wana of the Evangelical Lu-theran Church in Southern Africa, Vhuilafuri Parish, and well-known educationist, re-cently decided to celebrate his anniversary as an ordained minister in the Holy Land.

Phaswana and his wife Angie’tjie visited Israel, Pal-estine and Egypt. Speaking to Limpopo Mirror upon his

return, Phaswana indicated that the Bible is best understood if you relate it to the places where things happened.

“In the gospels, Jesus teaches that people need to be changed from within. This idea is often referred to in the gospels as be-ing reborn. They teach that peo-ple are capable of undergoing a definite inner development and change. This inner development

requires that people become more understanding and aware of themselves, of others and of their relationship with God and the Bible,” Phaswana explained.

According to him, South Africans are to have that inner development “if we are to do well as a nation guided by re-ligious principles, irrespective of the church denomination one belongs to.”

“Never call a sin a weakness” - CWMIn a move to encourage women to stay strong and remain influential in today’s society, the Christian Women Ministry (CWM) convened at the Dutch Reformed Church in Tshikota on Sunday (26 August). This was done as a way of celebrat-ing the closure of Women’s Month.

Led by the influential speaker and organisation’s president, Mrs Christinah Sinthumule, women from across the Vhembe area sang hymns and prayed. The message of the day was given under the theme Walking into newness. Mrs Sinthumule ad-monished those present that they should always distance them-

selves from the sin of breaking up other people’s relationships.

She said that, when a woman cries that her marriage is growing sour, it is frequently because of another woman. “Some women are creatures who excel at hurting other women,” she spoke. “We need to walk into the newness of God, where evil thoughts of hurting others will be a thing of the past.”

Sinthumule indicated that pas-tors hardly preached about what she had just told the people, for fear of losing female worshippers in the church. “We must stop running a paint brush over sins,” she continued. “Never call sin a ‘weakness’.”

Women were further encour-aged to work hard in order for them to achieve their dreams. They were also advised to make their voices heard in society. “In biblical times, women were faceless and voiceless,” she said. “They couldn’t do anything on their own, because they had no freedom to do so. They had to ask a man for everything which needed to be done. I am not say-ing that women should antago-nize their husbands; far be that spirit from us.”

She placed more emphasis on the point that a woman should not wait for a man to come into her life before she could do good things to enrich her life.

From left to right are (back row) Mrs Violet Magwira (Tshilidzini), Mrs Christinah Sinthumule (Christian Women Ministry president), Vho-Violet Phiri (Musina) and Vho-Suzan Nengovhela (Kraanspoort). In the front row are (from left to right) Vho-Agnes Tshikovhi (Shayandima) and Vho-Winnie Muthambi (Thohoyandou).

Celebrating at the launch are, from left to right, Mr James Shikwambane (station manager of Munghana Lonene FM), Mr Leuba Ramakgolo (Thobela FM station manager), Mr Victor Ravhuanzwo (SABC Limpopo general manager), Cllr Tshitereke Matibe (Vhembe District mayor), Cllr Grace Mahosi (Thulamela mayor) and Chief Shilungwa Mhinga.

Uninterrupted radio and TV broadcastsVillagers at Mhinga bordering the Kruger National Park are on cloud nine, after they were finally able to listen to SABC radio stations and watch the three SABC channels clearly and with no interruption.

“This is great news and at last our plea has been answered,” said the local traditional leader, Hosi Shilungwa Cydrick Mh-inga, at a ceremony at the lo-cal sports ground last Friday. Community members danced and pranced after the SABC and Sentec switched on the TV to show what had become a reality - the people of Mhinga could now watch TV.

The head of the SABC sta-tions in Limpopo, Mr Victor

Ravhuanzwo, hailed the event as historical. “Today is an his-toric occasion that responds to the request and urgings of the community that could not access radio and TV like other communities,” he said.

He said the switching on of the low-power transmitter was done by the SABC, in conjunc-tion with Sentec and the Depart-ment of Communications of the Vhembe district and assisted by the Limpopo Premier’s office.

Ravhuanzwo urged com-munities who find themselves in the same situation as the Mhinga community to approach the SABC. He gave the example of the community of Masisi in Mutale who are in the same

situation, where a low-power transmitter will be installed next week.

The Vhembe district mayor, Cllr Tshitereke Matibe, hailed the new transmitters, saying they would make it easy for information to be accessed by the rural communities.

Ms Angie Maseko, the act-ing head of the stakeholders management, said Sentech was installing a computer labora-tory at Madadzhe Secondary School within the Thulamela local municipality at the time. The school will be provided with 20 computers, five year VSAT internet connectivity and classroom refurbishments, which include desks and chairs.

Approximately 500 women from Musina gathered at the Lesley Manyathela Stadium on Saturday to pray for peace, while celebrating women’s month at the same time.

The gathering came after the recent occurrence of violent pro-tests in the border town, which had led to damage of municipal property and the arrest of more than 20 community members.

The women sang spiritual songs and asked God to “rain” peace and love on the Musina region. They prayed to God for the forgiveness of sins and asked

that peace be restored in Musina.During the event, Mayor Carol

Phiri appealed to local commu-nity members to continue to pray for peace and unity.

She said people needed to pray and fast to avoid bitterness and confusion and appealed to the youth not to allow themselves to be used by politicians to intimi-date and attack their opponents violently. She called for political and religious tolerance to sustain the peace and security that the local community has enjoyed for years.

Phiri said “We cannot allow

our communities and the munici-pal area to be in flames during our tenure as political leaders.

We do not know what is hap-pening, but we are only praying to God to forgive us all our sins and restore peace and smile back on our area.” She said the mu-nicipality was facing some trying times and called for support from the community to reverse the situation.

Phiri pleaded with residents to stand up against criminals, reclaim the streets in their com-munities and called on parents to instil good values among

An 18-year-old man appeared in the Tshil-wavhusiku Magistrate’s Court last Tuesday. The case relates to an incident on 11 August at around 19:00.

Mr Ambani Rakheila had allegedly entered the house of a 15-year-old girl by force at the Riverside section of Ravele village in the Sinthumule area. It is alleged that he then dragged her to another household and raped her twice.

The case was postponed to 3 September for further investigation.

* The SAPS at Tshilwavhusiku have also opened a case of rape after an 18-year-old girl was raped in the vicinity of a local shebeen in Magau village on 12 August. The spokesperson for the Tshil-wavhusiku police, Const Musiwalo Mahuwa, said that the police were tracing the suspect and that they hoped an arrest would be made soon.

A 24-year-old Beit Bridge man is on the run after he had allegedly struck a local elderly couple brutally with a kitchen knife, before raping the woman until she lost consciousness, police have said.

The 83-year old woman later died from injuries sustained during the attack.

The local police spokesperson, Sgt Loveness Mangena, said the incident occurred on Friday (24 August) at around 19:00 at Toporo village. “According to our information, the suspect went to the victims’ homestead. On arrival, the suspect found the woman and her 84-year-old husband seated by the fireplace in their kitchen hut, warming themselves. He allegedly confronted the two and demanded money, but they indicated to him that they did not have cash, upon which he pulled out a kitchen knife,” she said.

“The suspect first struck the husband twice on the head and he fell unconscious, after which he turned to the wife and struck her once on the head. After attacking the woman, the suspect raped her until she lost consciousness. He then fled the scene,” Mangena said.

The following morning, the couple’s daughter visited her parents and found that the two had head wounds. She took them to Beit Bridge District Hospital, where the woman later passed away.

The Musina Magistrate’s Court has postponed the case against 27 residents of Musina, who were arrested on charges of public violence and mali-cious damage to property.

They appeared in court last Wednesday and their case was postponed to 30 November. The suspects allegedly mobilised the community to embark on a protest march, which resulted in public violence breaking out on 1June. During this march, the suspects were arrested on charges of public violence and malicious

damage to property.Residents who participated in

the march allegedly went on the rampage and set two vehicles of the SAPS and the municipality alight. Vehicles that were travel-ling on the N1 to the Beit Bridge border post were also damaged. The protestors allegedly put burning tyres and big rocks in the road and stopped vehicles from continuing their journeys.

The protestors also smashed windows at the municipal offices, the house of the Chief Whip, Si-mon Madamalala, and the house

of the driver of the mayor.The unrest followed after

residents started accusing the local mayor, Carol Phiri, and the council’s Chief Whip, Mada-malala, of being corrupt, prac-ticing nepotism and failing to reduce the electricity and water tariffs. They are demanding that the mayor and the Chief Whip resign. Residents want the Mu-sina Municipality to reduce the electricity and water tariffs and to stop cutting off the supply of basic services to people whose accounts are in arrears.

Led by the mayor, prominent women also took time to serve re-freshments to the guests.Mayor Carol Phiri serves refreshments to guests during the event.

sions were extremely important to pupils and teachers. “Anyone in life wants to be appreciated. The moment you reward them for their hard work, they will try to improve their work” he said.

Vungela Primry won the award as the best school in the foundation phase and Yingwani

Ribungwani as the school with the most improved Grade 12 results, from 32,7% to 80% last year.

Tshinange Secondary School acquired the top award for achieving the highest Grade 12 pass rate in the circuit, from 58% in 2010 to 84% last year.

The circuit manager of Hlanganani South, Mr Mashudu Munungufhala, presents a trophy and R10 000 cash to the principal of Tshinange Secondary School, Mr Calvin Tshikovhi. The school improved the most of all the schools in the Hlanganani circuit in 2011.

“We have since launched a manhunt for the suspect ,who is still at large, and we are appealing to anyone with information that could lead to his arrest to contact their nearest police station,” said the police spokesperson.


Mulamuleli (11) needs community’s helpMany young girls wish to receive a pretty doll as a gift, but Mulamuleli Nemangaya (11) from Tshikota only wants a good night’s rest.

This brave young girl’s face is deformed by glaucoma, an eye disease, which causes her such pain that she cannot sleep at night. Mulamuleli says she cannot see through both eyes because of the glaucoma. Her mother, Ms Joyce Nemanganya, said that her daughter developed

the glaucoma soon after she was born at the Siloam Hospital in 2000.

After the birth of her girl, she was told that she had to go to the Polokwane Provincial Hospital and was admitted for a week before they transferred her to the George Mukhari Hospital in Pretoria, where she stayed for another three months. Joyce said she had tried everything to have her child’s glaucoma healed, without success.

is suffering?” said the weeping single mother, who has three other children to look after. “This glaucoma my child has, is very painful. I am helpless, and I don’t have R100 000 to pay for an operation,” she said.

According to Joyce, they consulted hospitals, doctors, pastors and even a sangoma, but nothing has changed.

“We have spent lots of mon-ey, without any success,” she said. “My daughter doesn’t want to go out and play with others any more. Mulamuleli is pushing herself into a dark hole of depression.”

According to Joyce, all she wants is for the girl to be healed and enjoy life like other chil-dren. “She is now bedridden because the glaucoma makes her life difficult. I need commu-nity members to help me before it becomes too late.”

During the interview with young Mulamuleli, she continu-ously complained of pain and discomfort. She also added that the other young ones ran away when they saw her. Mulamuleli said she was often mocked by fellow learners at the Tshilid-zini Special School. They call her names because of the lump on her face. She is currently in Grade 5 at the school.

Anyone who can assist the girl can phone 079 664 1568 or 072 335 8828.

“ I h a v e con sulted tra-ditional heal-ers, men of the cloth and spiritual heal-ers, but none of them could cure my child. I seriously be-lieve this is the work of evil people who want to see my innocent girl suffering on a daily ba-sis. I am now tired and find life valueless as I am always worried about m y c h i l d ’ s future. What is the use of enjoying life while my child Young Mulamuleli Nemangaya needs help.

Swallows to fly over Maumela Hot Boys?

The U/16 team of Benny´s Care Academy.

The evergreen Benny’s Soc-cer Academy will represent Vhembe during the provincial SASFA U/16 Metropolitan finals matches, which will be staged at Mokopane tomorrow (Saturday).

According to Metropolitan’s sponsorship manager, Ms Jenni-fer Padayachee, the winner of the event will participate with other provinces’ champions in the na-tional championship. “This stage of the competition is particularly crucial for the schools. They are one step away from representing their province at the national finals,” she added.

The president of the South African Schools Football As-sociation and SAFA Vice-Presi-dent, Mandla ‘Shoes’ Mazibuko, added that “Metropolitan has a long history of supporting development football in South Africa. Success of national teams is dependent on identifying and growing talent at an early age. Only a handful of companies are prepared to support development football and we are pleased that Metropolitan remains committed to this sponsorship,” he said.

The five schools from different districts around the province that will battle it out in the play offs

are Benny’s Care Soccer Acade-my (Vhembe), Hudson Ntsanwisi (Mopani), Kabelo (Capricorn), Phahamen (Waterberg) and FK Tsiabane (Sekhukhune).

The coach of Benny’s Care Academy, 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 understanding.” Matloga said their aim was to use the tournament as their stepping stone to the national champions. “Apart from the fact that there is a lot at stake in the competi-tion, it is time for us to fulfil our promises,” Matloga said.

Benny’s to participate in provincial finals

The president of Makhado LFA, Mr Takalani Maphaha, hands over a trophy to Mr Tsotso Masia (chairperson of Tshikwani Stone Breakers, the champions) and Mr Freddy Phathela, a member of Makhado LFA.

Photographed with the winners´ trophy are, from left to right, Messrs James Maluleke (deputy president of the Makhado LFA), Rudzani Mabatha (Sundani City Rovers), Mpho Siwada (Tshikuwi Youth Soccer Development), Solly Mukhomi (Kuruleni Happy Fighters) and Junior Ramovha (guest speaker).

R235 000 for winners of MLFA leaguesCash prizes amounting to R235 000 were distributed among the clubs affiliated to the Makhado Local Football Association (MLFA) last sea-son, during a ceremony that was held at the Makhado show grounds hall on Saturday.

The champions of the Lim-popo Dairy league, Tshikwani Stone Breakers, took home R4 420.

The second-placed Zamenk-omste Liverpool received R3 440 during the ceremony.

N j a k a n j a k a F C won Stream A of the Elim Spar League and Mashamba Academy won Stream B. Both clubs received R4 440.

Sundani City Rovers were crowned champi-ons of Vho-Makhadzi Funeral Stream A and Kuruleni Happy Fight-ers won Stream B. Both received R4 440 during the ceremony.

The winners of the three streams of the Magwaba Bus Service competition, Murunwa

X1 Experience, Tshikuwi Youth Soccer Academy and Tshien-deulu New Castle, received R4 440 each.

The teams ending in second position in all the streams re-ceived R3 440 each.

The guest speaker and veteran sports administrator, Mr Junior Ramovha, said sports promoted discipline and good health. He said that the MLFA must be financially accountable both to the public and sponsors.

The MLFA President, Mr

Takalani Maphaha, said it was hard to get sponsorship in this time and the Magwaba bus com-pany, Limpopo Dairy, Elim Spar and Vho-Makhadzi Funerals came as saviours to the associa-tion. Maphaha said the associa-tion was happy with the involve-ment of businesspeople in sports.

He added that the eight teams who ended the league programme in position one in all the streams were promoted to the Safa Vhem-be SAB League.

Cllr Fistos Mafela ad dres ses community members.

Hundreds of villagers from Ward 1 of the Musina Municipality recently gathered at the Madimbo Primary School to engage with their ward councillor during the quarterly reporting meeting.

Cllr Fistos Mafela outlined the challenges, suc-cesses and future plans for his vast ward, which covers five villages and several farms.

Villagers sang and ululated as the councillor an-nounced that a sports centre worth R6.2 million and a R4.6 million community hall will be constructed at Malale and Madimbo villages respectively. “These capital projects will be implemented dur-

ing this current financial year. The projects were identified in line with our integrated development plan after thorough consultation with the citizens of this ward.”

Mafela added that the quarterly report meet-ings were an open, accountable process through which individuals and groups within the wards could exchange views and influence decision making.“This is a democratic process of engaging people in thinking, deciding, planning, and playing an active part in the development and operation of services that affect their lives. Participation is a fundamental right of all people because decisions made by people on their own behalf will often be better than those made for them by other people. This means that we are actually handing over power to the community to make their own decisions.”

Although much has been done to improve people’s lives, Mafela acknowledged that some backlogs still existed which needed to be addressed urgently. He said the backlogs included the electri-fication of some households, a regular water supply at some villages and farms, sanitation facilities and the provision of houses.

He thanked his ward committee and commu-nity members at large, however, for their constant support in service delivery initiatives. “It is only through cooperation that we can build this society. When we work together, we forget about our per-sonal differences and focus on the task at hand. We will continue to build this society through initia-tives of this nature.”

R6.2 million sports centre for Malale

The talented 24-year-old Marubini "Bornwise" Mashavhela says he proudly displays his paintings to influence other talented people to show off their talent. This young painter from Waterval says that he started painting in 2005 after passing Grade 12. "I feel that I have talent and as long as I live , I should always display it in public," he says. He mostly paints pictures of nature and he also paints people´s portraits.

Somalian businessman robbed at MutaleThe police at Mutale have issued a stern warning to busi-nesspeople in and around the Mutale area, not to keep large amounts of money at their homes, but rather to put it in safes or deposit it in a bank.

The warning came after a Somalian businessman was

robbed of his money by three armed robbers at Mangaya Su-permarket near Mutale a fortnight ago. “They robbed more than R3 000 in cash from the teller and air time vouchers to the value of R700,” said Mutale SAPS spokesperson W/O Tshilidzi Nnyambeni.

Nnyambeni said he applauded members of the community who showed up after the businessman called for help.

“We were able to follow up and apprehend a suspect. We call on other members of the public to assist us in locating the other two,” he added.




Community members hold up banners which clearly show their support for the two girls who were allegedly raped by their father.

Community members act against abuse

Sandra joins MLFM as news reader

Community members of Tshavhalovhedzi village, in the Nzhelele area, protested against the postponement of the case in which a 53-year-old man is accused of raping his own daughters.

A crowd of people carrying placards peacefully marched to the Dzanani Magistrate’s Court two weeks ago, prior to the start of the court proceedings. The community members were encouraging the public to break the silence against women and child abuse.

The incident that sparked the protest apparently only came to light after a local sangoma started treating a young girl in 2010. She found out that the girl was alleg-edly being abused sexually by her father. The matter was reported to the police and the father was arrested for allegedly raping his daughters, aged 15 and 19. He allegedly had two children with the 19-year-old daughter and one child with the 15-year-old

daughter. This baby died shortly after it was born.

From what could be estab-lished, the father was only sen-tenced to 30 days’ imprisonment or given the option of paying a R500 fine on the charge of rap-ing his 15-year-old daughter. The case was then changed from rape to assault.

The police at Siloam have confirmed that the case is cur-rently being reviewed and asked community members to wait for the outcome of this process. A review panel was commis-sioned in June by the p ro -vincial police commissioner, Lt-Gen Simon Mpembe.

She added that she was not yet satisfied with her re-cent success, as she plans to achieve more in life. “I’m still young and there is still more to offer to my community. I have presently enrolled for a public relations diploma with Unisa and media studies with Intech College”.

Community to pray for rain on 7 September

Anthrax outbreak in the northern KNP

Shooting Stars shine bright over Killers

New gospel album for veteran musician

The ministers forum of Makha-do (Louis Trichardt) will host a prayer day for rain on Friday, 7 September, at 17 :00 at the Dutch Reformed Church Sout-pansberg.

“We at the ministers forum thought it prudent to host a ser-

vice dedicated to praying for rain. We are told in the Scriptures to ask for what we need. Here is an opportunity to ask for some very-much-needed rain. We continue to trust God that He will provide for our needs in all areas of our lives, be it in the community or

in our private lives. Of course, the focus of the event will be on praying for rain,” said one of the organizers, Rev Robby Novella.

For more information, contact Rev Novella on 015 516 5165 or Dr Philip Venter’s church office on 015 516 4366.

At least 30 carcasses of roan antelope were discovered at the Capricorn Rare Antelope Enclosure around the Mopani camp area of the Kruger Na-tional Park (KNP).

According to a statement by the park, the animals are believed to have died from an outbreak of the anthrax disease in the park. It is also stated that it normally

happens from time to time during this time of the year.

“Roan antelopes are some of the rare species in the park and having lost 30 animals will have a very serious impact on the total population, which is estimated at fewer than 100 animals in the whole park.

Rangers are on the ground monitoring the situation and will, from time to time, report back on

their findings,” said the KNP’s head of public relations and com-munication, Mr William Mabasa.

The statement warns that an-thrax is a bacterial disease, which is very dangerous to both animals and human beings. People are advised not to touch any carcass found in the park. Instead, if they see any dead animal, they should report it to the nearest camp, Mabasa said.

It was another busy weekend for the teams affiliated to the Thulamela Local Football As-sociation.

Matsika Shoot ing Stars showed Mukula Mighty Killers no mercy when they beat them 4-2 at the Matsika grounds on Saturday.

Veteran gospel musician Vho-Paul Mulaudzi recently released a new album, Rifhe Maanda.

The album comprises 10 melodious songs. Muladzi says that he is very happy about his lat-est release and maintains that the album is doing quite well.

His first album, Ndi na Murena, came out in 1986, followed by Tshira tsha muthu ndi mbilu (1989). At least 20 albums and a DVD followed after those two albums and Mulaudzi enjoyed great popularity.

“I started singing a long time ago as a boy in the United African Apostolic Church,” he says of his music career. “I remember clearly how I became more serious as a singer. It was in the ZCC church, where I led the Mkhukhu singing ensemble for three years.”

Mulaudzi said that the biggest challenge which musical artists faced in those days was securing a recording deal, particularly if one was a Mu-venda. “I saw other singers being turned down by recording companies who felt that music sung in Tshivenda couldn’t be commercially viable. There is a saying that the Vhavenda are less than a million in number. It seemed that anybody who wanted to invest into Vhavenda just felt discouraged by that thought alone.”

The Ha-Mammbwe-born artist, whose strong voice kept listeners craving for more through the

previous three decades, maintains that the release of his first album proved the sceptics wrong, when the first print of the very album was sold out within weeks. Today, at the age of 62, Mulaudzi relives those memories with relish.

However, Mulaudzi sounds gloomy and sad as he speaks about the malignant poison of piracy. “I sell my music in taxi ranks in the town around Vhembe,” he says. “While I occupy this corner here, those who pirate our work will occupy the area over there, selling my music at a mere R10 per MP3 collection.”

“Service without expecting personal gain”The University of Venda has been praised for inviting a home-grown local man to give a lecture as part of its 30-year anniversary.

Hundreds of media studies students, academics and other guests from the community filled the senate chamber on Thursday to listen to one of their own. SABC provincial general manager Victor Ravhuanzwo gave a lecture on Servant lead-ership in the 21st century. He said a leader should be someone who serves the people without

expecting personal gain.In his lecture, Ravhuanzwo

said in celebrating 30 years of existence, the university should be able to reflect what it had done for the communities. He said it was important that lead-ers should work in unison with the community and in case of the university, the leadership of the university should work with students, unions, and other role players.

“Teamwork does not destroy individualisation, but instead it builds teams,” he added.

Although he is based in Polokwane, Ravhuanzwo is from Lukau village in the Then-gwe area. He hailed the universi-ty for allowing him as someone from Venda to come and make an input.

“At least we should acknowl-edge the role that the university is playing, in allowing us as lo-cal people to discuss things that affect them.”

The lecture is part of an ongo-ing list of festivities marking the 30th anniversary of Univen’s existence.

Ngwenani Young Chiefs the Tshakhuma championsNgwenai Young Chiefs were crowned the champions of the Tshakhuma Soccer Challenge last Saturday. They beat Mutandani Pull Together 4-2 in the final.

The match was played at the Tshakhuma Malaria grounds. Three teams, Tshakhuma RO United, Ng-wenani Young Chiefs and Mutandani Pull Together, took part in the one-day event. According to the organis-ers, Gwamasenga United Brothers, who were supposed to participate in the tournament, pulled out on the day of the tournament, without citing any reason.

Ngwenani Young Chiefs fought hard to beat Tshakhuma RO United 1-0 in the first semifinal. Tshakhuma RO United failed to reach the final stage of the competition when they lost 4-5 to Mutandani Pull Together in the second semifinal.

Ngwenani Young Chiefs were pre-sented with R1 350 during a ceremo-

ny that was held at the grounds after the final. The runners-up, Mutandani Pull Together, received R450 while the hosts, Tshakhuma RO United, went home with empty hands.

Young Chiefs threatened to score in the 15th minute, when their vastly experienced midfielder, Tshifhiwa Nedzamba, tried his luck from outside the penalty box. The keeper of Pull Together, Rendani Masindi, executed a brilliant save when he palmed the ball away for a corner kick.

The second half saw Pull Together creating some promising moves from behind, with their strikers fumbling at the goal finish. No goal was seen during regulation time and the winner was determined through a penalty shoot-out. The four goals for Chiefs were scored by Tshimangadzo Mulo-vhedzi, Eric Mangenzhane, Tshifhiwa Nedzamba and Aluwani Masala. Pull Together converted two through Nathaniel Maise and John Magowe.

Thambulo Khalushi of United (right) attacks with the ball, while Rudzani Nebulu tries to close the way.

Powerlines through to the final of ZomaZoutpansberg Powerlines were initially out-played in their semifinal of the Zoma tourna-ment against Madodonga United at Madodonga on Sunday.

At one stage, United were leading 2-0, but Pow-erlines came back strongly and forced the match into a penalty shoot-out.

The final score was 2-all and Powerlines con-verted six penalties and United four.

The game was characterised by wasted chances on the part of the United strikers. The first player to cause an upset was Shumani Khaulushi. He missed a ball from the edge of the box, after receiving a neat pass from Peter Ramano.

The home team effected the first change to their original team by introducing Wesley Magodi for Thambulo Mukwevho. Although the fans started to shout at the Powerlines technical staff, instruct-ing them to replace Tomelo Makobolo with Sipho Ragimana, their requests fell on deaf ears. Power-lines’ left flank, Rudzani Nebulu, hesitated for too long to unleash within the box and he eventually lost possession.

Baldwin Mabela scored United’s first goal in the 38th minute, making the half-time score 1-0.

In the second half, Thambulo Mukwevho scored a second goal, after the keeper failed to handle the ball and it bounced back to an unmarked Thambulo,

who scored easily.The visitors scored their first goal when Jaison

Maisha headed home a corner kick, taken by Sipho Ragimana. In the 85th minute, Naledzani Makhud-zha passed the ball back to his keeper, due to the pressure from Maisha. The pass was intercepted and Maisha scored the equaliser.

Leopards part ways with Itumeleng Duiker

Makhitha Oscar Stars dominated the entire game but finally succumbed to Western Stars and lost 1-2 in the final of the Benoswe tourna-ment at Madombidzha on Saturday.

The game was charac-terised by rough play and the referee, Mr Thomas Thamaha, did not let any culprit go unpunished. He flashed three yellow cards in the first half.

Stars’ right flank, Lucky Funyufunyu, missed a clear chance in the 20th minute. His teammate, Balanganani Mafela, com-mitted the same blunder three minutes later.

The home side blew the trumpet in the 30th minute. Their only goal of the first half was scored by the for-mer Madombidzha Celtic striker, Ridovhona Singo.

He pounced on a re-bound, after Lufuno Ndou tried his luck from the edge of the box.

Stars replaced their diminutive striker, Om-ish Mudzunga, with Lolo Tsiesi in the 70th minute. A mistake by the Stars keeper led to Western Stars' second goal, scored

by Ridovhona Singo in the 80th minute.Lolo Tsiesi scored from the edge of the box in

the 87th minute.

Black Leopards have parted ways with mid-fielder Itumeleng Duiker (27).

Limpopo Mirror has learnt that Leopards intend-ed keeping the former Golden Arrows midfielder, but Duiker was not interested in continuing his career with the Limpopo side. Leopards’ spokes-person, Mr Tendani Thidiela, has confirmed that the club acceded to the player’s request to move on.

Duiker joined Leopards in January and started 14 matches in all competitions for the club.

Duiker signed a one-year contract, with the op-tion to renew it, with the club last year. He said he would be looking for a new team.

Thidiela added that his sole focus was on this weekend’s game against the newcomers in the PSL, Chippas United, at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday. “We are happy with the team that we have for this season, although we hope to complete the registration of a few players before the closing date,” he said.

United Brothers and the Brazilians drawIn their Thulamela LFA league match at the Vondwe grounds on Sunday, Vondwe United Brothers shared the glory with Mutuwa Brazilians, following their goalless draw.

United Brothers were playing into the wind in the first half, but the Brazilians could not use the favourable circumstances to good effect.

The hosts, United Brothers, were the first to knock on the opponents’ door, despite all the odds. Their left flank, Mavhungu Ne-makonde, caused an upset after receiving a beautiful pass from Pfarelo Makhuvha nine minutes into the game. He held onto the ball for too long within the Brazilians’ danger area, until he lost possession.

That did not kill the team’s morale as Brothers continued to fight like a united team. Hulisani Muf-hadi of United Broth-ers shot wide from the edge of the box. That did not go down well with the team’s technical staff. They replaced Mufhadi with

Rolivhuwa Nemanashi soon after the incident.

United Brothers lost cohesion in the middle of the park towards the end of the first half. At that stage, the Brazilians were gain-ing momentum.

The Brazilians approached the second half with more self-confidence. That forced United Brothers to effect two more changes to their starting lineup. They replaced Khathutshelo Nedzamba and Mavhungu Ne-

makonde with Thinamaano Madzunye and Innocent Ma-hada respectively.

A defender of Brazilians, Ndi-vhuwo Tshikororo, was booked for a late tackle on Zwidofhela Maphiri in the 67th minute. The keeper of United Brothers, Ndaedzo Mbedzi, saved what everybody thought was a sure goal when he braved Livhuwani Mulaudzi’s half volley five min-utes before the referee blew the final whistle.

The newly promoted Chippa United will be lucky if, by chance, they manage to hold Black Leopards to a draw in their Absa Premiership League encounter at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polok-wane on Sunday afternoon.

According to Leopards’ coach, Mr Sunday Chidzambwa, their aim is to col-lect the maximum points in all their home fi xtures and to get at least a draw away from home. Chidzambwa reiterated the fact that all their players were available for selection, except their DRC interna-tional midfi elder, Jean Munganga. He is still serving his suspension after seeing red in their opening league match against

Bloemfontein Celtic three weeks ago.Lidoda Duvha collected four points in

their fi rst two league matches.While the mood in the Leopards camp is

high, the situation is totally different with Chippa United. The Cape Town side lost both opening league matches, which led to the abrupt sacking of their coach, Mr Mangoba Mngithi.

The other match that will also be played on Sunday will be between Mam-elodi Sundowns and Maritzburg United. They will meet at the Lu-cas Morepe Stadium in Pretoria.

Five matches will be played tomorrow afternoon. The fi xtures

are: Bidvest Wits vs Supersport United, Free State Stars vs Kaizer Chiefs, Ama-zulu vs Lamontville Golden Arrows, Uni-versity of Pretoria vs Bloemfontein Celtic and Orlando Pirates vs Moroka Swallows.

In the only match that will be played this evening (Friday), Ajax Cape Town will host Platinum Stars at the Cape Town Stadium.

More woes for Chippa?
