journalist Vernon Kale and smallbusiness owner Daniel Lebelo. Both thesurvivors gave a background history oftheir lives and journey to drugs,explaining how the abuse affected theirlives.“I can not understand how I could allow

drugs to control me. It was painfulseeing my mother in tears, with no hopeof what she could do to help me. Onceyou have started with drugs there is nogoing back and in that way, you aretaking a journey to nowhere. Those wholooked up to me are now looking downon me like I am a piece of rubbish. Thiskind of life does not matter when youare high, but once you sober up, it hurtsto the last degree,” said Kale.Lebelo said that it is confusing to see

how young people continue with

substance abuse despite severalwarnings.“I always wondered what had gotten

into me when I ended up using drugsand I never got a valid reason or point.Seeing other youngsters getting aheadand achieving good things in life while Iwas busy dooming my own life seemedfoolish as I kept looking at things inanother perspective. I ended uprealizing that I was driving a vehicle thatwas taking me to nowhere-land and thenI thought at that moment that I needed toquit and make something of myself,”Lebelo said.In her speech, Bele Bela police station

commander Colonel Sibongile Ndabaindicated that there is a high rate of drugabuse in Bela Bela, which leads to crimeincreasing at an exceptional rate. Shesaid that most drugs used by youngstersinclude nyaope and dagga, which robsthem of uplifting opportunities in life.“There is an outcry by parents,

community members and leaders ofdifferent churches, remarking that mostof the dealers live amongst thecommunity and employ innocent youngpeople to sell to their fellow youngsterswho are uninformed. We face achallenge of people who are reluctant toprovide information that could lead tosuccessful arrests. Some allege thatmembers of the police are involved andthere are no convictions whichdiscourages the community in gettinginvolved in the fight,” said Ndaba.Ndaba encouraged people to come forth

with any information that could implicatetheir members in such acts, saying thatwhoever is found guilty will be dealt withaccordingly. She added that the policeare monitoring known hotspots andcountless successes have been made asa result. Ndaba concluded that the policeare planning to intensify partnerships withstakeholders and crime combattingprogrammes.All entertainment activities rendered on

the day followed on the same theme.The entertainment ranged from pantsula

dances to drama, comedy, choirs andcultural dances.

Bela Bela Local Municipality is amongthe rural municipalities in Limpopo thatare reported to be the highest over-spenders of their 2012/2013 capitalbudget.According to the DA in Limpopo, this is

cause for concern. The party has saidthat it will be writing a letter to theProvincial Chairperson of the StandingCommittee on Public Accounts(SCOPA), Rob Tooley, asking him tosummon all the mayors and Section 56managers to account for the state of themunicipal finances.The DA’s statement follows a recent

report for the 2012/2013 financial year bythe Auditor General stating that none ofthe 27 Limpopo Municipalities got cleanaudit opinions. The report stated thatnine of the municipalities got disclaimeropinions.The DA expressed their concern about

the statement in the report thataccounting officers in 18 municipalitiesdid not prevent the unnecessary irregular

untold stories of how democracy wasachieved and how the country hasworked together, a national reflectionof where people were then comparedto now.“The campaign also includes

thanking the international communitythat played a part in our liberationstruggle. This will strengthen thepartnership our government has withnational, regional, continental andinternational communities forsustainable development. The keymilestone in this campaign is 20 bestmoments of major gains since thestart of democracy. The governmentaims to encourage women in allsectors to tell their stories of wherethey were then compared to now,”said Ramoshaba.In their communiques in support of

Women’s Month, communicatorswere given a revised Women’s Monthcampaign toolkit to use in order tohelp mobilize women to standtogether and celebrate andcommemorate the day and month.A concept document with

communication strategies and keymessages was shared among thecommunicators, who spread themessage through presentations,events and awareness, as well associal media, websites and othercommunication platforms.The government urges women from

all walks of life to continue wearingheadscarves on Fridays, whereverthey are.

DA expresses concerns overAuditor General’s report

expenditure that amounted to R859, 6million. They are also concerned that theexpenditure has increased by 3.75%from 2011/2012.“An estimated R418 million cannot be

accounted for and is being regarded asunauthorized expenditure. Fruitless andwasteful expenditure is standing at R10,4 million which is 68% as a result ofinterest and or penalties on latepayments.Municipalities such as Mogalakwena,

Lephalale and Waterberg District optedinstead to under-spend their approvedcapital budget, notwithstanding theirservice delivery backlog.“This is proof that there is lack of good

leadership in these municipalities and aturnaround strategy is needed urgently,”said the party’s provincial leader,Jacques Smalle.The DA believes that if the policitcal

heads and Section 56 managers aregrilled by SCOPA an acceptable solutionmay be found.Comments from the municipalities are

expected soon.

Selby Moima, owner: Club Paradise,writes:Regarding the article placed in TheBEAT on 8 August (Bela Bela MournsSoccer Players) I feel that I mustpoint out that the incident did nothappen at Club Paradise as stated bythe police and in your newspaper.As the owner of the premises in

question, I was at the club until itclosed at 2 am, and no fight occurredthat night.I employ two security guards toensure the safety and security of mypatrons, and no serious violence hasever occurred at my establishment.

On Womens Day wecommemorate the courage,fearlessness and determination ofthe women of Charlotte Maxekes.Today we can surely celebrate

with women who are mothers ofclean children, caregivers, civilsociety builders, teachers whoseclasses are made of children whodo not see vulgar as ordinary.That woman in the community

who cooks at every funeral. thewoman who doesn’t know how toread and write but her children arelearned, the woman who takes inchildren of her late siblings whonever had any life cover policy.We celebrate that woman whose

children slept on an emptystomach but still at SASSAqueues, she allows queuehackers and the aged to get infront of her.We celebrate those woman

whom you don’t bother greetingbecause she is dirty beyonddarkness, as she recycles cansand papers for her family ‘s endsmeal.We celebrate that young lady

you call a prostitute whilst whatshe makes is used to cater for hertuition fees and food for hersiblings who were robbed ofparents by death.The woman whom 9 August

intends to touch, is that janitorwho is not spoken about whenpaying positions are advertised,but never refused to clean afteryou or wash your bedding.We celebrate the lady you gave

hell for being slow at therestaurant and didn’t tip herwithout asking what was worryingher, but still she made sure youleft with a full tummy.That woman who does not know

where her husband is, but keepsfaith in the vows she took.We celebrate the woman whom

people says she is “a phenomenalwoman” without using it to throwtantrums, and in fact doesn’tknow the meaning of the concept.We celebrate that woman who is

just natural and still believes shefits everywhere.We honour those women pastors

who prepares their scripture forteaching in righteousness, weremove our hats to those womenwho are community leaders,suffering insults from the mouth ofthe youth in their communities,but still calls those youth “mychild.”On 9 August, we celebrate

women, not those that assumesthe status for possession ofcertain body parts, as this is aday which is never about genderentitlements, but belonging.

A celebrationof women

Light of Africa along with the Bela Belapolice, pounded the pavement onWednesday 30 July when they embarkedon their “Mayibuye: bring back our trolleys”campaign.The aim, was to retrieve lost or stolen

trolleys from thetown’s streets andresidential homesand raise awarnessthat trolley theft is aserious crime.The spokesperson

for Light of Africa,Josias Ramaleka,said that he firstcame up with theidea when henoticed manymisplaced trolleys around the town.“I approached the owners of various

retail stores such as Spar, Shoprite andFruit &Veg about the concept and it was

Volunteers make everyday aMandela Day

from the local Public Works Department.The volunteers referred to themselves as

“the soil”, a community development group,which were all born in Bela Bela except forMhande, who recently joined in after helearned about the team and the work whichthey plan to do for their community.Sebelebele explained that the group aims

to extend former President NelsonMandela’s legacy with their endeavourssuch as the cleaning of the holding cellvisiting area.“We saw a need to continue the 67

minutes for Madiba campaign and lend ahelping hand where necessary. The areawas not in a good condition and had beenseen as an eyesore to the public. Wedecided to put together some materials andclean it to make it look good and moreattractive to visitors.“It is a strong feeling of ours that we

should take part in developing the area wegrew up in and not wait for anyone to do itfor us. We have identified communityprojects that are in need of assistance andwe aim to provide assistance where wecan,” said Sebelebele. The team aims toundertake various other projects such asvisiting orphanages and schools to offerpossible assistance.

agreed that Light of Africa should workwith the police and retrieve these trolleys.I arranged a date with the police and thecampaign was born,” he said.It was reported that a total of 59 trolleys

had been retrieved during the campaign.Ramaleka explained that the trolleys are

often stolen and used for criminalactivities and even sold to residents foras little as R10.“During our campaign we have

retrieved trolleys from many people whoclaimed to have bought them fromyoung people for a mere R10. We havealso been told that the youngsters woulduse this money to buy nyaope.Criminals also use trolleys duringhousebreakings where they load stolengoods into the trolley and escapequicker. We have also observed peoplewho cut down trees illegally and loadthem into stolen trolleys,” he added.According to research the average

cost of a single trolley is approximatelyR1000.Instead of paying a hefty fine, Ramaleka

warned that as from Friday 15 August,those who are found in possession oftrolleys without consent will be arrested on

site.“People need to

understand thattrolley theft is a bigproblem whichbreeds even biggerproblems. Thereforeharsher punishmentwill be enforcedagainst those whomisuse our trolleys,”said Ramaleka.

He further urged those who are still inillegal possession of trolleys, to return themto the relevant stores or nearby where theycan be colleted,” he said.

“Trolleys are oftenstolen and used for

criminal activities andeven sold to residentsfor as little as R10”.
