The winter months bring with them ahigher risk of fires breaking out and quicklyroaring out of control to claim property andlives.Winter in the Waterberg is the dry sea-

son and, therefore, it is much easier for afire to get out of hand. Combine this withthe many fires that are made by people,desperate to keep warm during the coldnights, and you have a tragedy waiting tohappen.Residents of the Bela Bela Township are

faced with this danger every day and manyfire related incidents lead to the loss of lifeand belongings. On Wednesday, 6 June, a30-year-old woman, Ms Anikie Maila, fromExtension 9 in the Bela Bela Township, wasleft homeless after her shack caught fire.Maila lost her funeral scheme documents,

furniture account documents, blankets andthe furniture, that she was still paying for, inthe blaze. Her sister, Ms Christina Khosa,said that Maila is struggling to convince thefurniture shops to allow her to stop payingfor the property that she has lost from theincident. “My sister went to the shop to ex-plain that her property was burnt, but she isstill struggling because they find it hard tobelieve her. They said she must provide evi-

Residents of Thabazimbi took part in the cam-paign and celebrations of the InternationalDay against Substance abuse and Illicit DrugTrafficking.Spokesperson for the Thabazimbi Local

Municipality, Mr Joshua Motsomane, said thatthe campaign was part of the commemora-tion at Regorogile Community Hall on Tues-day, 26 June. In her keynote address,Thabazimbi mayor, Ms Patricia Mosito, saidthat South Africa is facing a national crisis,which demands a community and nationalresponse. “For this reason, I call on parents,educators, community leaders, and ordinarymembers of Thabazimbi community to join

International Day against Substance AbuseInternational Day against Substance AbuseInternational Day against Substance AbuseInternational Day against Substance AbuseInternational Day against Substance Abuseus in the war against alcohol and substanceabuse,” she said.The Mayor further urged parents and com-

munity leaders, “I want to make a special callto you all today to participate in communitystructures such as the Community Policingand Substance Abuse Forums to help lawenforcement agencies to deal with criminalsbenefiting from illegal drugs in our society.This is aimed at curbing the problem and athelping to improve treatment for addicts andsupport provided to affected families.”The Mayor further implored the police to be

tough on drug dealers and pleaded with peo-ple living in areas where substance abuse isrife to work with the police and provide infor-mation on any illegal dealings within the com-

munity.The Mayor said the municipality would be

reviving campaigns involving young adultsand school pupils.These campaigns will be about how to deal

with the crisis and provide information on howto get help for those struggling with or affectedby substance abuse. The Mayor also calledon the private sector and businesses to getinvolved in campaigns, as they can play animportant role in communities’ fight againstsubstance abuse. Mr Sekanka, from SocialDevelopment in the district, said that manypeople fall for the frenzy of consumerism,where the primary focus is on money andtheir lack of it. “Our careers and professionshave become money driven instead of pur-

pose and passion driven. Materialism has re-placed our moral values and is constantlyeating away our moral social fabric,” he said.“As a community, we always know where

the kids are buying alcohol and drugs, andwho is selling it to them. Without our help,the police might never find the culprits be-cause they do not live here, they do not knowthe ins and outs of the people of this com-munity but we do. It starts with us, we haveto get up and help clean up this community,”Mosito said.Meanwhile, president Zuma expressed his

shock at the rapid increase in substanceabuse in South Africa over the last 10 years.He declared his government’s intentions tofight the scourge.

other fire related incident happened on 2July in the same township. Residents allegethat a seven-year-old girl and her motherwere burned. The mother has recoveredfrom slight injury on her hand. The child iscurrently in Bela Bela hospital and recover-ing from severe injury on her legs.On the Wednesday, 4 July, a shack caught

fire and left a family homeless. This familyhad already relocated by the time The BEATwent to press.On Saturday, 2June, shortly before mid-

night, a 44-year-old man, Mr Lucas Bodiba,died when his shack caught fire at LesedingTownship.All of the above-mentioned incidents alleg-

edly happened because of candles that ei-ther fell over or set fire to the properties inquestion.According to Children of Fire, a charity that

helps children who were burned and scarredby fire, one of the most common causes offires is from candles falling over. “Do notthink that you are immune to this danger,”they warn on their website.

mitted at the Bela Bela provincial hospitalon Friday, 8 June, because he was suf-fering from kidney stones. He supposedlycommitted suicide two weeks after he wasdischarged. His neighbours told TheBEAT that he told his friend andhousemate, Jacob, that his condition isgetting worse and that he cannot live withthe terrible pain any longer. Nobody sus-pected that he was on the verge of takinghis own life. Jacob told The BEAT thatthe deceased came to South Africa to lookfor work and a better life, but that he wasunable to find employment due to his illhealth. Jacob, who is the owner of thehouse that they shared, was also the per-son who found the body hanging from theroof of the house on Sunday, 8 July. MsNkele Molefe, neighbour to the two men,said that Jacob called her to come andwitness the incident. “He called us to comeand see and we found his body hanging,”she said. “I called the paramedics and thepolice to come and to collect his body.

Not much is known aboutthe deceased except that he was a for-eign national who originally came from

Modimolle criminals sentencedwell done.The courts in Modimolle are keen on send-

ing the message to criminals that crime trulydoes not pay by sentencing accused in ma-jor offenses.Two females and a male ac-cused were sentenced in mid June followingtheir appearance in the Modimolle Magis-trate’s Court. The 23-year-old, Ms ConstanceHlungwane, was sentenced to 18 monthsimprisonment, while 29-year-old Ms LettaSeleka, and 20-year-old, Mr Abram Monene,received 12 years in jail time.Findlay said thethree accused were arrested for committingfraud at Kranskop in November 2011. He saidthe three would take a card from a client com-ing through the tollgate and write its numberdown, pocketing the money of customerswho paid in cash and manually overriding thecard. He added the overall defrauded moneyamounted to R30 000.Police warns criminals against their crimi-

nal habits, emphasising that the police willnot rest in their quest to combat crime.

Mandela Day is an opportunity for peo-ple all over the world to honour thelegacy of Nelson Mandela by doing 67minutes of community service. Photo:Supplied

ternational day celebrated in honour of Nel-son Mandela.The day is celebrated each 18 July, on

Mandela’s birthday.The day was officially declared by the United

Nations (UN) in November 2009, with the firstUN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010.Nelson Mandela accepted the 1993 Nobel

Peace Prize, along with FW de Klerk, onbehalf of all South Africans who suffered andsacrificed so much to bring peace to the coun-try.Rolihlahla Nelson Dalibunga Mandela was

inaugurated as President of a democraticSouth Africa on May 10, 1994. In his inaugu-ration speech he said, “We dedicate this dayto all the heroes and heroines in this countryand the rest of the world who sacrificed inmany ways and surrendered their lives sothat we could be free. Their dreams havebecome reality.Freedom is their reward. We are both hum-

bled and elevated by the honour and privi-lege that you, the people of South Africa, havebestowed on us, as the first President of aunited, democratic, non-racial and non-sex-

ist government.”Following the success of Nelson Mandela’s

90th birthday celebrations in London’s HydePark, in June 2008, it was decided that therecould be nothing more suitable than to com-memorate his birthday each year with a daydevoted to his life’s work, to ensure his legacycontinues forever.Mandela Day is a call to action for individu-

als, for people everywhere, to take charge inchanging the world into a better place, onesmall step at a time, just as Mandela did.The Mandela Day campaign initiative is sim-

ple and easy to follow; Mandela gave 67years of his life fighting for the rights of hu-manity. The idea is that this legacy continueswith ordinary people giving 67 minutes of theirtime by serving their local community.The Independent Municipal and Allied Trade

Union (Imatu) recently called for Mandela Dayto be turned into another public holiday.Johan Koen, general secretary of the un-

ion, said that, if it was a public holiday, peo-ple could dedicate more than 67 minutes toworthy causes.According to a press release by Bua News,

this year the Nelson Mandela Centre ofMemory has joined forces with the Depart-ment of Education in the “94 Projects forMadiba” in celebration of Mandela’s 94thbirthday.Ninety-four schools in need of infrastructural

development were identified for urgent as-sistance when the campaign started twomonths ago.Quoting Nelson Mandela, Education Min-

ister Angie Motshekga said: “Education is themost powerful weapon we can use to changethe world.” She said good progress had beenmade in obtaining sponsorship for many ofthe identified schools.The department has also urged South Afri-

can school learners to sing “Happy birthday”to Mandela at 08:00 on 18 July. The call hasalso been extended to people throughout theworld to sing the song at the same time onthe day.The Mandela Day website encourages peo-

ple to participate in the Mandela Day activi-ties in any way that they see fit. They urgepeople to stick to the main theme of the day:“service to one’s fellow human”.

Initiation schools in Limpopoof illegal initiation schools were reportedin the Mopani and Sekhukhune districts,the schools were immediately closeddown, arrangements were promptly madewith the area’s senior traditional leader,and the initiates were relocated to thenearest schools.“The fact that these schools are called

illegal means the law has been broken.We will spare no effort in ensuring thatsuch people incur the wrath of the law.We would like to appeal to parents be-fore enrolling their children to verify fromtheir respective senior traditional leadersabout the legality or illegality of a particu-lar school. We should take a collectiveresponsibility to fight this illegal practice,both the civil society and government,through platforms like traditional councilIzimbizos. We condemn abductions in thestrongest terms possible as childrenshould be enrolled following the consentof parents,” said the MEC for the depart-ment, Mr Clifford Motsepe.Finally, the department reports that they

do not have any death cases reported sofar. However, some ritual complicationscases were reported where in eight initi-ates were hospitalised. Two have beendischarged with the rest reported to be instable condition. Motsepe says they ex-pect all schools to wrap up their pro-grammes before the commencement ofthe third school term. “We want to thankall our strategic partners, SAPS, Depart-ment of Health, task team and senior tra-ditional leaders in Limpopo. They havedone a sterling job in ensuring that ourchildren’s health and safety receive thehighest priority. With the remaining daysof the programme, we have no doubt thatthis formidable team will ensure that thisprocess reaches its logical conclusion andour traditional culture remains enriched,”he said.

The season for the 2012 initiation schoolsofficially started on 15 June to enrol initi-ates at 312 schools that were approved inthe province.The Department of Corporate Govern-

ance, Human Settlements and TraditionalAffairs (CoGHSTA) said, although theyhad issued 314 permits, two were laterwithdrawn due to the passing on of keypersonnel.The department’s spokesperson in the

province, Ms Tseng Diale, said that theydisapproved 23 applications because theydid not meet certain requirements. As anexample, applicants applying to conductinitiation schools in areas that did not be-long to them and those who applied butare not recognised as senior traditionalleaders.Diale said that, to date, all the schools

have been complying to the latter with allthe standards set to ensure that initiatesare well looked after and enjoy their stayuntil they return to their respective homes.She said that the intake of initiates in theprovince is 15 926, while as, per district,Waterberg has enrolled 2 182 initiates.“It should be remembered that in 2011,

we had 11 307 initiates with two deathcases. In the same year, we had two casesof illegal schools operating in the provinceand immediate steps were taken. This yeartoo, we have again wasted no time in tak-ing action against such people. That is whywe have the SAPS on board to deal withsuch people with scant respect for the law,”said Diale. She added that, this year, theystill find themselves having to deal withsuch elements with sheer disregard for thelaw. Diale said that, to make mattersworse, these individuals are not even sen-ior traditional leaders. She said that, rightat the beginning of the season, two cases

Masakhane RDP saga continues TK Mashaba

Last week, on Wednesday, 4 July, residentsin the small settlement of Masakhane, nearRadium, outside Bela Bela, were caught upin a scuffle due to the illegal occupation ofRDP houses in the area.The scuffle turned into a full-blown fight and

the Bela Bela police was called to interveneand to diffuse the matter.Bela Bela Police spokesperson, Colonel

Abel Phetla, told The BEAT that tempers wereflaring and that the police was called to calmthe crowd. He said that there were no inju-ries to report and that the situation was un-der control. “Apparently there have beenresidents who have illegally occupied someof the RDP houses that was vacant and whenthe rightfully owners needed the illegal occu-pants to vacate the premises, there was aquarrel” Phetla said.Phetla further said that the Department of

Housing in Limpopo was called to resolvethe issues, as it was their speciality.The department resolved the issue by rul-

ing that those who have occupied the RDPhouses illegally, will remain in these housesand the rightful owners will be put on thewaiting list for the new development that willbe established at another site in Masakhaneand Bela Bela’s Extension 8. The BEATspoke to Bela Bela municipal spokesperson,Mr Matome Sebelebele. Sebelebele said thatthe municipality and the department of hous-ing have done the verification to the rightfulowners of the houses. The illegal occupantswill have to vacate the houses and go on thewaiting list. “There are about 150 houses tobe built some in Masakhane and some inBela Bela’s Extension 8. The department andthe municipality are still in the process of see-ing that they build the houses,” he said. Ear-lier this year on 24 February, The BEAT pub-lished a story relating to illegal RDP occupa-tion at Masakhane. Almost 150 people aresupposedly occupying RDP houses illegally

at a Masakhane.Ms Johanna Hlongwane told The BEAT of

this alleged injustice after she was allegedlyassaulted by Bela Bela Municipal securitypersonnel when she tried to gain access toher daughter’s RDP house.Hlongwane, hailing from Mandela Section

in Bela Bela, claims that she was assaultedlast year, on 26 December, when she tried toenquire why other people were living in herdaughter’s allocated house. Hlongwane’sdaughter, Ms Emma Hlongwane, holds thelegal title deeds to stand 282 in Masakhane.According to Hlongwane, whose left arm

was badly twisted during the tussle, the mu-nicipality placed Mr Sello Legodi in her daugh-ter’s house. Hlongwane said that she wentto the Bela Bela municipal offices to talk aboutthe fact that her daughter’s house was nowoccupied by someone else. She was alleg-edly assaulted at the municipal offices bysecurity personnel and her arm was twistedso badly that doctors had to put it in a plastercast. Legodi, the person who is currently liv-ing in the disputed RDP house, told The BEATthat the Bela Bela Municipality gave the houseto him two years ago. “We are about 150people who were given RDP houses hereby the Bela Bela Municipality when this RDPwas finished,” Legodi said. “I don’t deny be-ing in illegal ownership of this house, but myquestion is: when we are taken out of thesehouses by the municipality, where are wegoing to be placed?” he added.Asked if they purchased the houses, Legodi

said that no money changed hands. Heclaims that they were given the houses freeof charge. According to Legodi, the formermayor, Ms Henrietta Ledwaba, gave thehouses to them. “Some of the houses werebadly dilapidated and we renovated them,”he said. Legodi said that he did not have aproblem leaving the house if he is not thelegal owner. He just wants to be placed in anew home, because he has been on the RDPwaiting list for more than seven years.

Dangerous playground antics in Bela Bela could lead to serious injury

All children love to play around and haveas much fun as possible, but these chil-dren from Bela Bela chose to risk their verylives on this dangerous self-made play-ground equipment.The children in the Leseding section of

the Bela Bela Township could not play ontheir old swing sets after the equipmentwas vandalised and pulled apart. There-fore, the children made a dangerous planand used one of the steel barriers, usedon road bridges, as a slide.This section of the Bela Bela Township,

right at the entrance, has become a play-

ground for many children, especially nowthat the schools are closed for the winterholidays and bored children are lookingfor places to play.Unfortunately, the children’s ingenious

plan to make a slide out of the steel bar-rier is also a very dangerous plan. Thebarrier is not tied to any other part of theequipment and there are razor sharpedges where little ones can cut them-selves on.Last year, The BEAT reported on the

state of some of the community buildingsthat were extremely dilapidated and dam-aged.When The BEAT spoke to Mr Matome

Sebelebele, municipal spokesperson, hesaid that all the community parks, hallsand sports grounds belonged to the com-munity and it is therefore their primary re-sponsibility to protect it.“These community buildings and parks

must by all means be well taken of, notonly by municipality, but also by the com-munity as it belongs to them,” Sebelebelesaid.He said that there are many things that

community vandalise and in later stages,they are the ones suffering. However, hesaid that maintenance was scheduled tobe done in some of this buildings andparks.


Nelson Mandela Day ideas Thandekile Sibanyoni

Mandela Day is a call to action for in-dividuals, for people everywhere, totake charge in changing the world intoa better place, one small step at a time,just as Mandela did. The Mandela Day campaign initiativeis simple and easy to follow; Mandela

gave 67 years of his life fighting for therights of humanity. The idea is that this legacy continueswith ordinary people giving 67 minutesof their time by serving their local com-munity. The BEAT asked some of our readershow they will be spending their 67 min-utes of community service.

Abram Ndlovu (27): On Nelson Madeladay I will be helping at the orphanage. I willbe cleaning and cooking. I think it is veryimportant for me to help other people notonly on Mandela day but every day, but it isdifficult to go and help everyday becausemost of us have to go to work and the onlychance that we get is on this day becausethe employers know that we have to helpothers for 67 minutes.

Frank Molele (17): France and I are go-ing together to help at the orphanage cen-tre, It is very important to contribute in oursociety and acknowledge what Mr NelsonMandela has done for our country.

Pheneas Monala (45): My friend andI are going to volunteer to clean the yardat the school and remove the grass andunwanted plants; make sure that thegarden is neat and tidy.We want to do something nice for our

community.Our learners cannot attend classes

and do gardening at the same time, sowe are there to help.

Leah Mkgatholela (16): On NelsonMandela day I am going to old age cen-tre to help the nurses with the elderlypeople. I will do their laundry, serve thebreakfast and lunch.I will be helping because I acknowl-

edge everything that Nelson Mandelahas done for our country. It will also befun to take part because we are boredanyway.

Johannes Molekoa (17): My sistershares a birthday with Mr Nelson Mandela.I am planning to take her out for lunch,clean her bedroom and do her chores. Ireally want her to feel very special on herday because she shares it with our hero.

Mminah Rakoma (16): I will be inHammanskraal at Mandela Hall to cel-ebrate the day. It is important for me toacknowledge what Mr Mandela had donefor our country.

France Molemo (17): My friend and I aregoing to help at the orphanage centre. Weare going to cook and clean because wefeel that it is important as the youth to dosomething good for the society on this day.

Ellen Phala (28): I will be at one ofthe drop centres in Bela Bela, but I havenot yet decided which one.I am going to help the women who

cook and wash the dishes, sweep andscrub the floor.I feel that it is important to take part in

the 67 minutes and do something goodfor our fellow South Africans.

People will be lovers of them-selves, lovers of money, boastful,proud, abusive, disobedient to theirparents, ungrateful, unholy, withoutlove, unforgiving, slanderous, withoutself-control, brutal, not lovers of thegood, treacherous, rash, conceited,lovers of pleasure rather than loversof God - having a form of godlinessbut denying its power. Have nothingto do with them.”There are two aspects of human life:

one that relates to the physical body,materialism; and the other that relatesto the inner self, spirituality. Material-ism means an inclination towards ac-quiring material possessions andcomforts. Spirituality means, centredand established on the soul, that is,activities in life are decided keepingin mind the awakening of the soul.There are five physical senses:

touch, smell, taste, hearing and vision.No matter how beautiful a view maybe, the eyes will tire of seeing it aftera few minutes. The ears will not beable to listen to melodious music in-definitely. A person will be able to eatonly a certain quantity of food of hisliking. Thus, the senses have limitedrequirements, beyond which they be-come saturated.The mind is considered to be the

sixth sense. Its attributes are greed,attachment towards worldly objectsand people, and egoism. The mind ex-periences joy when these three at-tributes are gratified. Man generallyengages his time and effort in satisfy-ing the requirements of the body andthe mind. The mind is different fromthe rest of the senses in that it is al-ways unsatisfied and ambitious. Newhopes and ambitions arise once theold ones are fulfilled. Suppose a per-son desires to buy a house. He wouldremain preoccupied with that thoughtbecause there is an attraction in it.Once a house is bought, the attrac-tion fades. Therefore, greed and at-tachment are attractive only until theyare fulfilled.Egoism also follows a simi-lar principle. A worker in a companyfeels his job status is low and aims fora higher status so that he can elevatehis standing in the society. It is possi-ble that several persons within thecompany may be trying for the sameposition. Therefore, he/she becomesan enemy for them, since now he/sheis an extra competitor in the race.In case he does succeed in fulfilling

his egoistic desire in progressing to-wards his dream position, mentalpeace would elude him because therewould be several people scheming todislodge him.The worth and importance of a well-

mannered, disciplined person is obvi-ously more than that of an egoisticperson. No circumstances or individu-als can challenge a gentleman,whereas examples of egoistic peoplesuffering ruin can be seen all aroundus

This week The BEAT focussesstrongly on the role of volunteering inour society. Every year NelsonMandela Day and the 67 minutes ofcommunity service that this day en-courages, emphasise the importanceof every person volunteering in theirown communities.Volunteering takes up our time, en-

ergy, and sometimes, money. It canbe hard work. It can find us doing andseeing new things, which can be chal-lenging and even a little scary. So whydoes anyone even want to volunteer?Volunteering is good for others. The

world is not a perfect place, and manypeople, animals, places, and commu-nities need help. Governments andprofessionals try to meet everyone’sneeds, but it is impossible for them todo it all.This is why people become volun-

teers, because they can make a dif-ference where someone needs help.If people never help each other andonly care about themselves, the worldbecomes a sad place. However, whenwe volunteer our time, money, or tal-ents, we help make our community abetter, happier home where peoplework together to make life easier forall.Volunteering is also good for you.

Volunteering is the perfect conduit todevelop a new skill or to discover anew talent. Employers are often seek-ing well-rounded individuals who havegood teamwork and goal setting skills.Volunteering can provide you withthese skills.Volunteering brings together a di-

verse range of people from variousbackgrounds. Both the receivers ofyour volunteer efforts and your fellowvolunteers can be a priceless sourceof inspiration and a brilliant methodto expand your social skills.Volunteering offers an amazing net-

working opportunity. You will developlong-term personal and professionalrelationships. Not only is this a greatway to learn about people from allwalks of life, different cultures, andnew businesses, but you can alsohear about job openings, collect valu-able employment information anddevelop great references.Sometimes a volunteer experience

can direct you to something you neverthought about or help you uncover anew skill or interest. Nevertheless, torealise this new skill or dream, youhave to discover it first and you willnever discover it by sitting at home,waiting for the opportunities to comeand knock at your door. It just doesnot work that way.There are numerous volunteer op-

portunities available in your commu-nity. The key is to find a volunteerposition that you would enjoy.

step in and help where help is needed themost. One individual in particular steppedup to the plate and did more than his fairshare to make sure that one woman wouldget the proper burial that she deserved.Mr George Menyatso ensured that the

late Florah Mabushunye Phasha, ofLeseding in Bela Bela, received a decentfuneral on 22 June.When Phasha passed away, she had no

family in or around Bela Bela who couldtake care of her funeral. The local com-munity managed to raise and donateR1025 toward the burial costs, but theamount fell short of the R7800 needed.Menyatso Funeral Parlour offered to step

in and to absorb the rest of the costs as adonation to help the community conducta respectful funeral.Menyatso told The BEAT that this is his

way of giving back to the community. Thefuneral parlour has done the same in thepast when needed and would continue todo so when necessary. “I was approached by Ward 2 council-

lor, Ms Spando Maluleka, to come andhelp with the burial as the deceased didnot have anyone around,” he explained.Menyatso further says that he will offer

services that are more advanced after hisnew building papers and permits are proc-essed. There will also be a mortuary atthis new building, since his other mortu-ary is far from Bela Bela.

I am morethan my hair Boitumelo Moima

Someday someone somewhere woke upand decided that African women were notbeautiful enough. Our natural Afro wasto be replaced and silky hair was the inthing.As if that was not enough, another de-

cided that the only woman worthy of rec-ognition was the one whose hair made afashion statement.From girls as young as 12-years old to

aging grandmothers, women are tryingto re-invent themselves to fit a prescribeddescription of what a beautiful womanshould look like.The media has played a huge role in

defining beauty. Could it be that we areall trying to portray an image that doesnot really exist, because the people weadmire on television have had their im-ages photo-shopped and worked on un-til a picture perfect reflection was formedand shown to the public? Is that who wehave become as well, reflections of non-existent images? If that is the case, thenwhere is one to look for the real beauty?I think a look within would be a good placeto start.When interviewed, the women at the

Vanessa Hair Salon said that all womenare different and so are their preferences,personalities and circumstances.There is nothing wrong with looking

beautiful according to a person’s ownstandards.The problem comes when a person is

not accepting and confident with theirnatural state of being and starts using syn-thetic material to fill the void.Imitating the media can become an ob-

session and that is a weakness.The women also went on to say that the

public considers one backward if theywear their hair naturally.Ms Annah Maheso said, “We were con-

ditioned to think that beauty is what thenon African women looks like,” and theother women agreed.They reminisced about the times when

they would use heated stones tostraighten their afro hair, which lead to alot of laughter.Bela Bela resident Ms Rinah Hlongwane

said that, in her opinion, a woman’s beautyis determined by her hair. “It’s a top downapproach,” she said confidently.Thirty nine year old Victor Kekana

agreed.He said that he would personally pay for

his woman’s hair-do because, accordingto him, women who have natural hair donot look as great as those who haveweaves. “If fake looks good then fake isgood to go,” Kekana said. Mr Mafafo Janhad a different opinion. He said that awomen’s beauty starts with her heart nother hair.Summit Salon owner, Ms Amusan Kemi,

said that a woman should always lookbeautiful and her hair should always bethe first place that shows the rest of thebody’s beauty. She further added thatthose women who prefer looking naturalchose to do so because they have theirown definition of beauty.With all of that said at the end of time

whether curled, afro, relaxed, weaved orwaved, hair is undoubtedly a pertinent re-flection of oneself but it is not the maincomponent of one’s whole being.A great hairstyle will turn heads but only

a good heart will break necks.

A1 Terrors to start planning for the new season TK Mashaba

One of Modimolle’s best SAB WaterbergRegional League contenders, A1 Terrors,is going back to the drawing board to pre-pare for the new season that will kick off inthe beginning of September.A1 Terrors ended the last season under

the top three teams and they plan to taketheir place in the first position on the leaguelog during the next season. Therefore, theirfirst training session will start as early asnext week on their home grounds inModimolle.Mr William Thulare, owner of this top

team, told The BEAT that there are manymore plans in the pipeline to make the mostof the next league season, but would notgive away too much of their secrets.A1 Terrors is one of three teams in

Modimolle who will be playing in the SABWaterberg Regional League in the nextsoccer season.They will be joined by Troublemakers and

Young Black Lizards FC to keepModimolle’s name high during the season.At this stage of the race, Modimolle basedsoccer fans and fanatics have pinned alltheir hopes on A1 Terrors to make their

mark on the SAB League.Mokopane based Mosesetjane All Stars

were the Waterberg champions during lastseason’s SAB Waterberg RegionalLeague. Their first place on the log earnedthem the chance to play in the play-offs inVenda. A win there would have given themthe opportunity to be promoted to theVodacom League, but they did not makethe cut.Two other teams will not be competing in

the SAB Waterberg Regional League dur-ing the next season. Leventis FC was dis-qualified from the league after they failedto honour their match games due to finan-cial and related issues.Thabazimbi based Zaba All Stars were rel-

egated back to the Thabazimbi Local Foot-ball Association league among many alle-gations of match fixing and unreliable ref-erees by their owner.Bela Bela FC United also had some trou-

ble during the last SAB Waterberg RegionalLeague season. They were expected to re-veal their future plans on Thursday, 5 July,but made no announcements.Mr Zwakala Mokoma, team official, told

The Beat in a brief interview that the team’sfuture was still uncertain at this stage ofthe race.

The once mighty and revered Baroka FCmissed their dream to play in the NationalFirst Division (NFD) League once again.Their dream was shattered when they

were beaten in the NFD promotional play-offs that took place in Seshego, outsidePolokwane, over the last weekend.Baroka FC made national headlines two

years ago when they beat the two, muchfeared, Soweto giants, Moroka Swallowsand Kaizer Chiefs, during the NedbankCup tournament of 2010 and reaching thesemi finals of this prestigious competition.The Ga-Mphahlele based team have

been trying their level best to make it intothe NFD, but had no luck so far.This time it was Roses United’s time to

shine when they were promoted to the Na-tional First Division following their 1-1 drawagainst Baroka FC in their play-off game.The Free State side finished at the top oftheir group, undefeated with 10 pointsfrom four matches.Baroka came to this match, desperately

needing a win to qualify, as they were sec-ond on the log at that time, two points be-hind Roses. Unfortunately, they concededa goal in the first half as John Tlale’s men

2012 Vodacom League champions afterdefeating Milano United from the West-ern Cape 4-2 on penalties in a tense finalat Seshego Stadium outside Polokwane.The match finished goalless after 90 min-utes.With both sides having already clinched

automatic promotion to the National FirstDivision by virtue of winning their respec-tive groups, the grand finale was alwaysgoing to be a closely contested affair and,despite great effort from both teams, nei-ther was able to find a way to break thedeadlock.During interview with PSL, former Bafana

Bafana international player, John Tlale,who is now the coach of Roses Unitedsaid, “I cannot properly express how proudI am of my boys.”“At the beginning of the season, we

drafted a three-year plan for promotionand we have achieved it. Credit must goto everyone involved with this club for theirunified commitment to reaching our com-mon goal,” Tlale said
